Q:

Who's talking to John in Revelation 22?

This short chapter raised a few extra questions for me lately. The basic premise seems to be some heavenly being speaking to John.  And, grammatically, it appears to be a single one. Verses 13-16 in particular are quite explicitly Jesus talking, as he says "I, Jesus..." And verses 7 and 12 both start "See, I am coming quickly"... which I assume to be Jesus, and it seems to be confirmed in verse 20 where John responds "even so, come, Lord Jesus."
This all seems rather simple and straight forward except immediately after Jesus is talking in verse 7, and in verse 8, John saw these things and heard these things and bowed before the person speaking to him.  Not too much of a problem as people have done this before Jesus in the past.  But verse 9 "And he said to me, see you do it not, I am your brother-servant with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book.  Give worship to God."
And then this goes directly into Jesus speaking again.  So... Did Jesus say this?  Some say that in the middle of Jesus speaking in verse 7, some other unnamed angel just happened by in the middle of the conversation, and although John never thought to bow to Jesus, he immediately started bowing to this angel, who only stopped to tell him not to bow, and Jesus just kept talking without acknowledging this second person in any way.  ... but I'm not seeing any textual justification for this beyond "Seeing Jesus say this doesn't fit my preconception, so it must be someone else that said it."
So... is there any textual justification beyond that?  Or did Jesus, while in heaven deny worship, referring to himself as a "fellow servant," and direct worship to the Father?

A:

"Behold I come quickly" and all such 'divine prerogative epithets' are indeed Jesus' here.

Revelation 22 (DRB)
1 And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits every month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no curse any more; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him. 4 And they shall see his face: and his name shall be on their foreheads. 5 And night shall be no more: and they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten them, and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6 And he said to me: These words are most faithful and true. And the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to shew his servants the things which must be done shortly. 7 And, Behold I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book. 8 And I, John, who have heard and seen these things. And after I had heard and seen, I fell down to adore before the feet of the angel, who shewed me these things. 9 And he said to me: See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the words of the prophecy of this book. Adore God. 10 And he saith to me: Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11 He that hurteth, let him hurt still: and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is just, let him be justified still: and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still. 12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to every man according to his works. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. 14 Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb: that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. 15 Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and unchaste, and murderers, and servers of idols, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the bright and morning star. 17 And the spirit and the bride say: Come. And he that heareth, let him say: Come. And he that thirsteth, let him come: and he that will, let him take the water of life, freely. 18 For I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues written in this book. 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book. 20 He that giveth testimony of these things, saith, Surely I come quickly: Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

You said: " John saw these things and heard these things and bowed before the person speaking to him." But he bowed before an angel, not Jesus:

...I fell down to adore before the feet of the angel, who shewed me these things.

The lesson to take away here is that angels must be pretty awesome creatures to behold.

Laid-Off Americans, Required to Zip Lips on Way Out, Grow Bolder

LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. — American corporations are under new scrutiny from federal lawmakers after well-publicized episodes in which the companies laid off American workers and gave the jobs to foreigners on temporary visas.But while corporate executives have been outspoken in defending their labor practices before Congress and the public, the American workers who lost jobs to global outsourcing companies have been largely silent.Until recently. Now some of the workers who were displaced are starting to speak out, despite severance agreements prohibiting them from criticizing their former employers.Marco Peña was among about 150 technology workers who were laid off in April by Abbott Laboratories, a global health care conglomerate with headquarters here. They handed in their badges and computer passwords, and turned over their work to a company based in India. But Mr. Peña, who had worked at Abbott for 12 years, said he had decided not to sign the agreement that was given to all departing employees, which included a nondisparagement clause.Mr. Peña said his choice cost him at least $10,000 in severance pay. But on an April evening after he walked out of Abbott’s tree-lined campus here for the last time, he spent a few hours in a local bar at a gathering organized by technology worker advocates, speaking his mind about a job he had loved and lost.“I just didn’t feel right about signing,” Mr. Peña said. “The clauses were pretty blanket. I felt like they were eroding my rights.”Leading members of Congress from both major parties have questioned the nondisparagement agreements, which are commonly used by corporations but can prohibit ousted workers from raising complaints about what they see as a misuse of temporary visas. Lawmakers, including....Read More HERE


31 Ill.2d 262 (1964)
201 N.E.2d 394
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Appellee,
v.
KEITH ALAYRE ANDERSON, Appellant.
No. 38158.
Supreme Court of Illinois.
Opinion filed September 29, 1964.
WILLIAM P. GERBER, of Chicago, (HOWARD T. SAVAGE, of counsel,) for appellant.
WILLIAM G. CLARK, Attorney General, of Springfield, and BRUNO W. STANCZAK, State's Attorney, of Waukegan, (FRED G. LEACH and GEORGE W. KENNEY, Assistant Attorneys General, and JACK HOOGASIAN, Assistant State's Attorney, of counsel,) for the People.
Reversed and remanded.
*263 Mr. JUSTICE UNDERWOOD delivered the opinion of the court:
On September 17, 1962, the Lake County grand jury returned a one-count indictment charging the defendant, Keith Alayre Anderson, with an attempt to commit murder arising from a knife attack against Mrs. Betty Oglesby, his mother-in-law, on July 20, 1962. The defendant, represented by counsel of his choice, pleaded guilty to the charge before Judge Decker in the circuit court of Lake County on November 8, 1962. Judge Decker was appointed to the Federal bench and the case was reassigned to Judge Philip Yager, who, on February 18, 1963, after a February 15 hearing on defendant's motion for probation and denial thereof, sentenced defendant to a term of one to ten years imprisonment.
On May 2, 1963, a petition in the nature of a writ of error coram nobis under section 72 of the Civil Practice Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1961, chap. 110, par. 72) was filed before Judge Yager with the court's leave, by newly retained counsel, alleging that defendant was insane at the time of the offense and at the time of his plea; that Judge Decker did not know the facts which might have established defendant's mental state and that he entered judgment without first conducting a sanity hearing. The State filed both a motion to dismiss and an answer to this petition. The motion was denied and a hearing was held on the petition and answer thereto on June 24, 1963, at which time Judge Yager denied the petition and remanded defendant to the penitentiary. Defendant is here on direct appeal from the trial court's order of June 24, 1963, alleging a denial of constitutional due process because of the trial court's failure to conduct a hearing on the question of his sanity both at the time of his plea and again at the time of sentencing, and that he was denied the assistance of counsel because his representation was so inadequate that it amounted to no representation at all.
*264 While defendant argues in his brief here that it was the duty of the trial court to hold a sanity hearing at the time of sentencing, the allegations of the petition and accompanying affidavits relate only to insanity prior to and at the date of arraignment and plea. Our consideration of the appeal is limited accordingly because matters not raised in the pleadings nor passed upon by the trial court cannot be presented for the first time on review. (People ex rel. White v. Busenhart, 29 Ill.2d 156; Benson v. Isaacs, 22 Ill.2d 606). Nor may the adequacy of defendant's representation in the trial court be questioned here since contentions relating to the competency of counsel may not properly be advanced in a proceeding of this type. Hall v. People, 402 Ill. 478, 481; Putnam v. People, 408 Ill. 582.
The single issue before us in this proceeding is the propriety of the trial court's ruling on defendant's petition, but broader constitutional questions are also present herein since we have many times held, "The trial or sentencing of a person charged with a criminal offense, while he is insane, violates his constitutional rights and is expressly prohibited by statute. (People v. Robinson, 22 Ill.2d 162; Ill. Rev. Stat. 1959, chap. 39, par. 593.)" People v. Shrake, 25 Ill.2d 141, 142.
Defendant has pursued the proper remedial course because in past cases we have regarded a verified motion or petition in the nature of a writ of error coram nobis pursuant to section 72 of the Civil Practice Act a proper means to raise the question of defendant's sanity at the time of trial when the presence of such question was unknown to the trial court. Costas v. People, 9 Ill.2d 534; People v. Samman, 408 Ill. 549; Schroers v. People, 399 Ill. 428.
The sole issue presented by the petition was whether at the time of entry of the guilty plea there were facts present which, had they been known to the trial court, would have raised a bona fide doubt as to the defendant's sanity. Under the relevant provisions of the Criminal Code *265 and the interpretative cases, if a bona fide doubt would have arisen either from the suggestion of counsel or the court's own observation, the court then would have been required to impanel a jury for a sanity hearing before proceeding further. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1961, chap. 38, par. 593; People v. Burson, 11 Ill.2d 360; People v. Baker, 26 Ill.2d 484, 488.) However, it appears from the record of the hearing on the petition that the State and defense counsel were under the mistaken impression that the issue to be decided was whether defendant was sane or insane on November 8, 1962, the date of the plea. The trial court acquiesced in this view, and the petitioner was required to prove defendant's insanity on that date in order to prevail. Thus, at one point, the judge said: "The only issue raised by the petition is this  was Keith Anderson sane or insane on November 8, 1962?" Both the prosecutor and defense counsel agreed with the court's conclusion. Again, near the end of the hearing, the judge stated to defense counsel: "You have the burden to show, and your only petition goes to this fact. Was he sane or insane on November 8, 1962? There isn't one bit of evidence before this court on that point." Clearly these statements were erroneous because, before its recent revision, the Criminal Code restricted the determination of the question of a defendant's sanity to a jury impanelled for that purpose.(Ill. Rev. Stat. 1961, chap. 38, par. 593; People v. Geary, 298 Ill. 236.) In People v. Bender, 20 Ill.2d 45, we held that at a pretrial sanity hearing the State has the burden of proving defendant's sanity and we said at p. 54: "When the State, the defense, and the court, all proceeded on an entirely erroneous belief that the burden of establishing insanity rested upon defendant, it was impossible for the defendant to receive a fair and impartial trial according to the law of this State." So, here, the defendant has been denied a fair trial because all parties proceeded under an erroneous theory. It was not the duty of the judge hearing the petition to determine defendant's *266 sanity on the date of entry of the plea, but only to determine whether facts existed which, if known to the trial court, would have raised a bona fide doubt as to his sanity and, if he found that such facts existed, to then impanel a jury and resolve the question pursuant to the rules as to burden of proof set forth in Bender.
It is therefore necessary that the judgment of the circuit court of Lake County denying the petition be reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. It is so ordered.
Reversed and remanded.

The call of duty and a patriotic pedigree are given priority in Snowden’s account of his motivations – and he warns of dangers ahead

Towards the end of Edward Snowden’s memoir, he hands the narrative to his partner, Lindsay Mills, in the form of the diary she was keeping at the time he was “outing” himself as a whistleblower intent on revealing the most cherished secrets, and rampant ambitions, of the American and British spy agencies. “Ed, what have you done?” she wrote. “How can you come back from this?”

Permanent Record is Snowden’s attempt to answer these questions by doing something he finds discomforting and antithetical: breaching his own privacy, opening up what he calls the “empty zone that lies beyond the reach of the state”.

This is the space he has guarded for six years, but his account of the experiences that led him to take momentous decisions, along with the details he gives of his family background, serve as a robust defence against accusations that he is a traitor. It also offers a reminder that his disclosures of mass surveillance and bulk collection of personal information are as relevant now as they were in 2013. More so, he argues, given that private companies have become the new data behemoths.

How did Snowden become a pathfinder into the secret caverns of this new technological age? Accidentally, it seems. He comes from a family of flag-waving, security cleared patriots. One grandfather was a rear admiral, his father (“my hero”) worked for the US coastguard, and his mother had a senior backroom role with America’s National Security Agency (NSA). “Mine is a family that has always answered the call of duty,” he writes.

The CIA didn’t quite understand. The computer guy knows everything, or rather can know everything

Less surprisingly, young Eddie was a whip-smart supergeek. He was obsessed by his father’s Commodore 64 home computer and when he saw the first wave of the internet, surfed it, spending every waking moment online, learning how to code, how to hack.

In the aftermath of 9/11, he joined the US army because he “wanted to show I wasn’t just a brain in a jar”, and had he not suffered stress fractures during training, he would have become a special forces soldier. Snowden says his greatest regret was his own “reflexive, unquestioning support” for the decision to wage war after the attacks, and how it led to “the promulgation of secret policies, secret laws, secret courts and secret wars”. He found out about this parallel world working for different intelligence agencies as a contractor tasked with upgrading their antediluvian IT systems. As the spies pivoted towards cyber espionage, the top brass missed something quite important: “The CIA didn’t quite understand. The computer guy knows everything, or rather can know everything.” Snowden, it seems, was in a position to access their crown jewels.

At first, it was the incompetence that bothered him. The NSA’s security was pretty shoddy and it hardly bothered to encrypt anything. At the CIA, he spent his downtime reading intelligence reports and secret dispatches.

If there was a moment of epiphany, it came when he was asked to put together a presentation on China’s “utterly mind boggling” surveillance capabilities. As he did this, he says, he had “a sneaking sense I was looking at a mirror and seeing a reflection of America”. He was determined to find out if his fears were true. When he embarked on his own covert mission, he was just 29 and living in Hawaii. The story of how he fled to Hong Kong and then to unintended exile in Russia is fleshed out in more detail than we have seen before. Angered by what he discovered, and the dissembling of US politicians, he copied documents about the most egregious data collection programs on to tiny sim cards, which he smuggled out of the NSA facility where he was working in his trouser pocket – having decided against sticking them on to the side of his Rubik’s cube.

Snowden didn’t tell Lindsay what he was up to because he thought this would be cruel and he wanted to protect her. But leaving her was cruel and it didn’t protect her – something he profoundly regrets. I would have liked to have heard more from Lindsay and how their relationship survived the fallout. They didn’t see each other for more than a year. Two years ago, they married.

Regret is a recurring theme. Snowden is not sorry for what he did, but he laments the death of the internet he grew up with, and warns of dangers ahead, as artificial intelligence is fused with surveillance capabilities. If he is angry at his own predicament, it doesn’t show, but there is anger, and it comes in unexpected flashes; he describes Osama bin Laden as a “motherfucker”.

He also seems exasperated by people who don’t try to understand the capabilities that can now be wielded against them. Snowden calls this the “tyranny of not understanding the technology” – a dig at anyone who uses a smartphone, or a computer, without wondering how the freedom it gives them might also make them vulnerable. In his own gentle way, perhaps Snowden is throwing down the gauntlet.

He eventually decided his loyalties lay not with the agencies he was working for, but the public they were set up to protect. He felt ordinary citizens were being betrayed, and he had a duty to explain how.

And Snowdens always answer a call of duty.

Q:

mysql SELECT from column with a concatenated string

I select something from a column named "9 stars" (without the "").
SELECT `9 stars` FROM `table` WHERE ...

works fine, but I have to find a solution to do the job combining a variable (i = 9) with the "stars", something like:
i = 9;
SELECT `i stars` FROM `table` WHERE ...  (which does not work like this, of course).

A:

If you want to do it in pure Sql then For Dynamic Column name you need to use prepare statement
SET @i =9;
SET @table = <tblname>;
SET @query = CONCAT('SELECT ',CONCAT('`',@i,' ', 'start','`'),' FROM ', @table);

PREPARE stmt FROM @query;
EXECUTE stmt;

check this
Dynamic conversion of string into column name. MySQL

A:

If you don't want to mess around with dynamically constructing your query AND know how many "i" values there are, you could just do this:
SET @i = whatever;
SELECT CASE @i
   WHEN 1 THEN `1 stars`
   WHEN 2 THEN `2 stars`
   WHEN 3 THEN `3 stars`
   WHEN 4 THEN `4 stars`
   WHEN 5 THEN `5 stars`
   WHEN 6 THEN `6 stars`
   etc....
   ELSE NULL
END AS `the_stars`
FROM table
WHERE ...

You could also use the value from another field of the row instead of a session variable (@i)


Every Open Source project must have a web page. This is
GoFish's page. It's all we could afford.

What is it?

GoFish is a gopher server. The gopher
protocol predates the world wide web. They say that
"inside every big program is a little program trying to get
out". Well gopher is the "little program" inside the web. It is
very good for providing content, it is not as good at
providing flash.

Most web browsers, such as Netscape and Internet Explorer,
support gopher.

GoFish is a web server. GoFish can function as a web
server for static pages.

GoFish is a gopher to http gateway. This allows the
gopher impaired access to gopherspace. To see it in action,
rather than choosing gopher://seanm.ca/, select http://seanm.ca:70/. Notice the
port number on the http request. 70 is the default port number for
gopher.

Why is this not in gopherspace?

Q: "Okay smarty, if gopherspace is so great, why is this a web
page?"

A: Sighhhh..... Many more people use the web than gopher. And
while gopher had the first crawlers and search engines, today most
of the search engines are on the web. To get this out to the
public, it needs a web presence.

What systems does it support?

Any Unix like system should work. This includes Linux, Solaris, and Mac
OS X. It should even compile under cygwin.

Where can I get it?

I am hosting GoFish on SourceForge.
You can download GoFish
via the project page below.

GoFish as a Web Server

As of the 0.17 release, GoFish can be used as a simple web
server for static pages. GoFish was able to act as a gopher to
http gateway, but has been expanded to support more of the
features of a web server.

Note that currently, for the web server to work correctly you
*must* follow the following rules:

No one character directories or file names.

Default filename is index.html, not index.htm.

Static pages only. No support for CGI, PHP, asp, etc.

Running Both a gopher and web server

You need two instances of GoFish to support both a
gopher and web server. To get the web server running, make a copy
of the gofish.conf file. A sample gofish-www.conf is provided. It
changes the following entries:

root - point it to the web site

logfile - /var/log/gofish.log

pidfile - /var/run/gofish.pid

port - 80 for http, 81 if you want to try it and
already have an http server

is-http - must be 1 for a web server

Start the gopher server normally, but point the web server at
the new config file. For example:

gopherd -d -c /etc/gofish-www.conf

Virtual Hosts

GoFish supports virtual hosts for the web server.
Information on how the virtual
hosts work is here.

What can I do to help?

Glad you asked! Please download GoFish and try to compile and
run it. Then let me know if it worked or especially if it
didn't. I would also appreciate if people would try compiling on
OSes other than Linux or Windows.

Yesterday after shopping in our local supermarket, I was in the queue at the Check Out, and heard when the young cashier suggested to the much older lady that she should bring her own grocery bags, because plastic bags are not good for the environment. The woman apologised to the young girl & then sighed, “We didn’t have this ‘green thing’ back in my earlier days.” The young clerk responded, “That’s our problem today. You folk didn’t do enough to save our environment for future generations.” The older lady said “Ahh yes you’re right — our generation didn’t have the […]

Non Stock Men's Vietnam War 25th Infantry Division

The shirt, named OG-107 UTILITY FATIGUE SHIRT, is a rare 1963-1964 second-generation version featuring angular cuts on both sides of the pocket lid, loose cuffs, shirt-style plackets, and a right-angled hem. In fact, the emergence of TCU (Tropical Combat Uniform) in 1962 gradually replaced OG-107 as the dominant Vietnam combat uniform, and in addition to Southeast Asia, most of the OG-107 shirts were used as standard uniforms. The classic feature of this shirt is that the white name strip on the chest matches the black letter US ARMY, and the armchair or army badge on the arm makes it look elegant. It's also John Lennon's favorite style and has always been popular in the antique market.

The number of computer applications used by large corporations has increased significantly over the past twenty years. For example, companies may employ separate applications for electronic mail, document control, financial applications, inventory management, manufacturing control and engineering functions, in addition to overall network access. Each application often requires a separate logon procedure, including some form of personal identification such as a user ID, a password, a key sequence or biometric authentication. The increase in the number of applications requiring user authentication demands significant effort on the part of users to create, secure, and remember their authentication data. Furthermore, from a management perspective, the proliferation of computer applications with varying security and sign-on procedures adds significant cost to the ongoing maintenance of a secure information-technology infrastructure.
The user faces similar logon requirements when accessing server-based applications over the Web. For example, the user may face different logon procedures (typically involving different passwords) to access bank accounts, brokerage accounts, subscription content sites, etc.
Indeed, the mere need for computer users to keep track of multiple logon names, passwords and PINs in order to access different information itself increases the chances of unauthorized use and loss of private information. Users may resort to using the same logon name and password combinations for all accounts, rendering them equally vulnerable if unauthorized access to a single account is obtained. On the other hand, security-conscious users who maintain different logon names and passwords for individual accounts may, to avoid confusion, write them down where they may be found or store them on easily stolen devices such as personal digital assistants—thereby undermining their own efforts. Often those who routinely change their passwords but record them on paper or in a computer file are at greater risk of being compromised than those who use a single but difficult-to-crack password. At the very least, such security-conscious individuals risk forgetting their access information, necessitating time-consuming calls to customer-support lines. In some known systems, different applications may attempt to synchronize their logon procedures and user credentials, but this is often limited to applications from particular suppliers and cannot be extended across varying technology platforms.
Enterprises often maintain identity information in multiple directory stores in addition to the numerous application stores used to track application-specific account information. These stored identities may or may not link to the true identities of individual users. Users and administrators create aliases, shared accounts, and orphan accounts due to inadequate or poor tracking information (to identify the true user), absence of a robust de-provisioning process and/or poor enforcement of password-sharing and account-management policies.
System administrators are often charged with determining the actual unique identities of individuals associated with numerous application account credentials by manually comparing attributes (e.g., a phone number, an email address, or an employee number) associated with the credentials. One way to discover identities is to scan the credentials for each application (in, for example, an application-specific database, central employee database, or other shared authentication data store) in order to identify similarities among attributes. By locating multiple accounts associated with a particular user, it may be possible to learn the user's true identity. This process can be time consuming and labor intensive, and requires transitive lookups from one application database or directory to another by, for example, following links and, where necessary, using rules or fuzzy logic to verify the accuracy of each piece of information. If an account in one application is tied to an email address, for example, then the identity of the user in the email directory needs to be retrieved to obtain the employee ID, and so on, until some link leads to the user's true identity. In many instances, multiple user accounts can be associated with one individual, multiple users may share accounts in other applications, and in some legacy environments, inaccuracies can lead to dead ends in which there is no way to obtain the identity of the user from information in the application database itself.
What is needed, therefore, is the ability to consolidate user authentication data within application and directory stores in a way that facilitates automatic attribution of such authentication data to specific individuals. Having a distinct map of how resources are linked to the true identity of the individual is critical from both a management and security perspective.


Thomson-Reuters put together the following summary of the most important tax developments that have occurred in the past three months that may affect you, your family, your investments, and your livelihood. Please call us for more information about any of these developments and what steps you should implement to take advantage of favorable developments and to minimize the impact of those that are unfavorable.

IRA rollovers to be limited. A law limits the number of IRA rollovers that can be made in any 1-year period to one. Recently, the Tax Court held that the limit applies not to each separate IRA an individual may own, but to all of his or her IRAs. It reached this result even though the IRS had indicated in proposed regulations and tax publications that the limit applies to each IRA. Thus, an individual with three IRAs could make three rollovers in a 1-year period under the IRS guidance but only one under the Tax Court decision. After considering the matter, the IRS has announced that it will adopt the more restrictive view of the Tax Court. However, the new rule won't apply to any rollover that involves a distribution occurring before 2015. The IRS emphasized that an IRA owner will continue to be able to transfer funds from one IRA trustee directly to another as frequently as desired. Such transfers are not rollovers and thus are not subject to the limit.

Popular expired tax breaks may be revived. A number of popular tax breaks expired at the end of 2013. For individuals, these expired items include, among others, the deduction for state and local sales taxes, the deduction for qualified tuition and related expenses, tax-free distributions from IRAs for charitable purposes, the deduction for mortgage insurance premiums, the exclusion for discharged principal residence debt, and the provision allowing a higher exclusion for employer-provided transit benefits. Work has begun in Congress to revive these provisions and extend them through 2015. Some key business breaks might also be brought back, including the research credit, higher expensing, bonus depreciation, employer wage credit for activated military reservists, work opportunity tax credit, and 15-year straight line cost recovery for qualified leasehold, restaurant, and retail improvements, among other items.

Severance payments are subject to social security taxes. In a unanimous decision (with one justice not participating), the Supreme Court, reversing the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, has held that severance payments that were made to involuntarily terminated employees, and that weren't tied to the receipt of State unemployment insurance, are subject to tax under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (social security taxes). The Court concluded that the severance payments at issue fell within the law's broad definition of "wages" for social security tax purposes.

Luxury auto depreciation limits for 2014. Under special "luxury automobile" rules, a taxpayer's otherwise available depreciation deduction for business autos, light trucks, and minivans is subject to additional limits, which operate to extend depreciation beyond its regular period. The IRS has released the inflation-adjusted depreciation limits for business autos, light trucks and vans (including minivans) placed in service in 2014. The depreciation deduction limits for 2014 are the same as in 2013 for a passenger auto, while the limits are $100 higher for a light truck or van for the first three years and the same for years after the third year. The first-year depreciation limit is $3,160 for autos and $3,460 for light trucks or vans first placed in service in 2014. The bonus depreciation rules for additional first-year depreciation for autos, light trucks and vans, under which the regular first-year dollar limit for eligible vehicles was increased by $8,000, only applied to vehicles placed in service before Jan. 1, 2014. But there is a chance that Congress may retroactively revive bonus depreciation to the beginning of 2014 and extend it through 2015.

Maximum auto/truck values for cents-per-mile valuation. The IRS has released the 2014 maximum fair market values for employer-provided autos, trucks and vans, the personal use of which can be valued for fringe benefit purposes at the mileage allowance rate. An employer must treat an employee's personal use of an employer-provided auto as fringe benefit income and value it using one of several methods. One of the permitted methods allows an employer to value personal use at the mileage allowance rate (56¢ per mile for 2014). However, this method may be used only if the auto's fair market value does not exceed $12,800, as adjusted for inflation. The inflation-adjusted figures for vehicles first made available to employees for personal use in 2014 are $16,000 for autos (same as for 2013) and $17,300 for trucks and vans (up from $17,000 for 2013).

Relief from individual mandate for certain limited health coverage. The health care law contains an "individual mandate"—a requirement that most U.S. citizens and legal residents maintain minimum essential health insurance coverage (i.e., government-sponsored programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program; eligible employer-sponsored plans; plans in the individual market; certain grandfathered group health plans; and other coverage as recognized by Health and Human Services) or be subject to a tax penalty for 2014 and later years. The IRS has provided relief from the penalty for months in 2014 in which individuals have, under Medicaid and chapter 55 of Title 10, U.S.C. (medical and dental care for members and certain former members of the uniformed services, and for their dependents), limited-benefit health coverage that is not minimum essential coverage.

Proposed regulations on the individual mandate. The IRS has issued proposed regulations on the individual mandate to carry health insurance. The regulations include additions to the list of government-provided health plans that don't provide minimum essential coverage and a liberalization of the hardship exemption rules under which an individual who fails to carry coverage can escape the penalty.

Guidance on the employer mandate to provide health insurance. The IRS has issued final regulations and guidance in the form of frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the health care law's so-called employer mandate imposed on a large employer (one that employed on average at least 50 full-time employees on business days during the preceding calendar year). The mandate or employer shared responsibility provisions, as they are called, essentially impose a penalty on such employers if one or more of their full-time employees obtains a premium tax credit through the insurance exchange. The mandate was supposed to begin in 2014 but it has been delayed until 2015. The final regulations further delay the applicability of the employer mandate to mid-sized employers (i.e., those with between 50 and 99 full-time employees) until 2016, provided that the employer meets certain requirements. In addition, they provide a phased-in coverage requirement for large employers. The FAQs cover a variety of topics including how to determine whether an employer is subject to the mandate, how to properly identify full-time employees, and how to calculate the shared responsibility payment.

Small estates get more time to transfer unused exclusion to surviving spouse. The estate of a decedent who is survived by a spouse may make a portability election. It allows the surviving spouse to apply the decedent's unused exclusion amount to the surviving spouse's own transfers during life and at death. The amount received by the surviving spouse is called the deceased spousal unused exclusion, or DSUE, amount. In general, the election must be made within nine months of the decedent's death on the estate tax return, even if the estate is below the exclusion amount so that a return normally would not be required. Because many estates below the threshold did not file, the IRS provided a simplified method to obtain an extension of time to elect portability. This method only applies for an estate of decedent who died after Dec. 31, 2010 and on or before Dec. 31, 2013. The decedent must have been a U.S. citizen or resident on the date of death. In addition, an estate tax return must not have been required because the size of the estate was below the filing threshold. If these and other requirements are met, the IRS will grant an automatic extension to make the election on an estate tax return filed on or before Dec. 31, 2014. Taxpayers failing to qualify for this relief may request an extension of time to make the election by requesting a letter ruling.

New IRS guidance on virtual currency. The IRS has provided guidance in the form of frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the tax treatment of virtual currency, such as Bitcoin. This guidance treats virtual currency as property for U.S. federal tax purposes. Thus, the general tax principles that apply to property transactions apply to transactions using virtual currency.


Non-dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra project to the reticular formation around the trigeminal motor nucleus in the rat.
The dorsolateral part of the substantia nigra (SN) of the rat was observed to send projection fibers to the reticular formation (RF) around the trigeminal motor nucleus (Vm), bilaterally with a clear-cut ipsilateral dominance, by the anterograde and retrograde tracing techniques with PHA-L and WGA-HRP. A combination of retrograde tracing and immunohistochemistry for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) revealed that no SN neurons sending their axons to the RF around the Vm showed TH-like immunoreactivity.


Officers pursued a number of investigative avenues in an effort to locate her, RCMP spokesperson Const. Kelly Brett says in a media release, including ground searches throughout Enderby and surrounding areas and even as far as Alberta.

“Extensive arial searches were conducted utilizing support from RCMP Air Services,” Brett says.

It was after receiving information about a burgundy coloured minivan associated to Ruigrok that police found her near Hidden Lake in the Trinity Valley area. The vehicle was seen near the Hidden Lake Campground, but police have not said exactly where Ruigrok’s body was found, only that it was near the lake.

“Foul play does not appear to have been involved in the woman's death,” Brett says.

The investigation has now been handed over to the B.C. Coroners Service.

According to an earlier media release, family said it was out of character for Ruigrok to be out of contact.

New Bayview - Methil - Fife - East Fife v Raith - Goalscorer DYLAN TAIT is congratulated by John Baird - credit- Fife Photo Agency

However, based on the performance of Dylan Tait on Saturday, the midfielder could be the next youngster to cement his place in the Kirkcaldy side.

The recently turned 18-year-old was a star performer in the 5-3 derby win over East Fife, capping it off with his first senior goal. Tait has had glimpses of first team action this season, earning his first start in the 2-0 win over Challenge Cup over Falkirk, while his Bayview appearance was his third start in the league.

Having shown what he can do in such a crunch match, the teenager is sure to be given more opportunities in the second half of the season.

“I thought I did well,” he beamed afterwards. “It was a hard game to come back into, but I thought the boys did well.

“We dug it out and it was good to score my first goal.

“I only found out I was playing at half past one when the gaffer put the team on the board.

“It was weird, because I wasn’t expecting to play. When I saw my name I was just buzzing and focusing on playing.

“I was just trying to do my best for team but adding a goal just makes it a bit more special, and what a game to do it in.”

Tait is certainly not short on confidence with his assured post-match interview demeanour as impressive as his display on the park.

“You need to believe you’re good enough, or else you won’t be,” he said

“If the gaffer puts you out there he believes you’re good enough to make an impact on the game.

“I thought we started well and took control of the game.

“We were winning a lot of first and second balls and that gave us a platform to build on to win the game.”

Tait is hoping to secure a regular place in the starting 11 but appreciates that he faces tough competition for the central midfield berth.

“It’s hard because the midfield has quality players in it,” he said.

“We have boys like Lewis Vaughan, who’s injured just now, Tony Dingwall, Ross Matthews, Brad Spencer and Regan Hendry, so it’s probably the hardest position to play when you’ve got that competition in front of you.

“Rosco is out just now so I’m just trying to stake a claim and do my best for the team.”

Tait also enjoyed playing alongside Spencer and Hendry in a midfield three.

“They are two good players to play with, and two players I can learn from,” he added.

“They are both brilliant footballers, and they’re both good at the other side of the game as well.

“They helped me through the game, and as long as I can keep playing with them, it will help me.”
