A widely distributed breeder in the forested landscape of the eastern United States, the Acadian Flycatcher is readily detected by its distinctive tee-chup or peet-sah song. This is generally a species of mature deciduous forests, although it nests in conifers in appropriate habitats in both the Northeast and Southeast. It formerly nested, as far as is known, to southern New England, then became absent there, early in the 1900s, reestablishing, and perhaps expanding beyond, its former range since the mid- to late 1900s.
Usually associated with water and found in bottomland forests, along small and large streams, this flycatcher has a characteristic shallow, flimsy-appearing nest with streamers of catkins hang-ing below. The nest is placed, hammocklike, in a fork of the lower branches of a small tree, generally 4–7 meters above the ground. The female does all of the nest-building, incubating and brooding; both sexes feed nestlings. A small percentage of successful pairs attempt second broods, particularly in the southern portion of the range.
Little information is available on food preferences of this species, but it forages on insects and other arthropods, particularly on the undersurfaces of leaves. It employs both gleaning and sally-hovering while foraging, but also captures insects in the air and occasionally on the ground. Acadians undergo a complete molt on the breeding grounds prior to fall migration.
Breeding Bird Survey data suggest that populations of the Acadian Flycatcher are relatively stable, although the species is area-dependent and sensitive to forest fragmentation. It experiences high rates of parasitism by Brown-headed Cowbirds and nest predation in small forest fragments, although levels of parasitism are usually lower than for other species of forest songbirds.
Although the Acadian Flycatcher is common and widely distributed and has been accorded a relatively high priority for management (Probst and Thompson 1996), it has not been studied extensively. Much of what is known about this bird derives from classic studies of natural history and breeding biology in Michigan (Mumford 1964, Walkinshaw 1966). In recent years much new information on breeding biology and the environ-mental factors influencing reproductive success has been obtained from studies in Indiana, Illin-ois, and Missouri (e.g., Greenberg 1993, Robinson et al. 1995, Winslow et al. 2000) and the Missis-sippi Valley (Wilson and Cooper 1998). Much remains to be learned.

Fashion retailer reveals plans to double size of store in Northampton shopping centre
A national fashion retailer has revealed plans to create a new 5,000 sq ft store in the Grosvenor Centre in Northampton.
After the closure of the Menkind store next door, fashion brand Superdry will be expanding its existing unit and will begin work to join the two units in February.
The store will remain open for trade during the renovation work.
Peter Gaynor, Grosvenor Centre manager, said: “This is a very exciting period for us. Superdry has been a key part of our fashion offering here at the Grosvenor Centre for a number of years, and we’re thrilled that they are increasing the size of their store ahead of the University of Northampton’s new Waterside campus, which is due to open in 2018.”
James Whitehill, senior fund manager at LGIM Real Assets, who will oversee the project, said: “We are delighted to have progressed this important step in our enhancement of the Grosvenor Centre and are pleased that Superdry has committed to providing the shoppers of Northampton with an improved store, alongside the other recent transactions with Deichmann, Office, Zapato, Select, Bewiched and shortly, The Entainer.
“As ever we are committed to listening to the needs of our retailers and are pleased that we are able to further enhance the fashion offer in the centre.
“It’s also fantastic to see Superdry brining the brand’s latest store design to Northampton, signifying strong retailer condifence in the centre,” he said.

Scientists develop sensor to detect honey adulteration
In a sweet world of honey, adulteration is a bitter truth. Honey is often purchased for its purity and health benefits, but it sometimes contains hidden additives, most commonly water.
Standard methods to detect honey adulteration can be expensive and can have complicated operation methods or low accuracy.
In Review of Scientific Instruments, from AIP Publishing, a team of scientists from the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Hebei University of Technology developed a microwave microstrip line planar resonator sensor tool to detect water adulteration in honey. The compact tool is designed to be cost-effective and easily fabricated.
The sensor is fabricated on a dielectric substrate, which is an insulator that can support electrostatic fields, such as ceramic or glass. There are three thin copper strips on top, separated by two gaps. The length of the middle strip and the electric field intensity at the gaps determine the resonance frequency of the device.
According to author Zhen Li, water changes how the electromagnetic field around honey behaves. “When placed in the sensor, adulterated honey shifts the sensor’s resonance frequency. By measuring this shift, we can detect water adulteration in honey,” Li said.
The team tested honey samples with varying water content. They found that the sensor’s resonance frequency consistently decreased with increased added water content.
The device could inspire further applications in liquid analysis, in industries such as food quality control, pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals, for detecting impurities or composition changes, potentially advancing sensing technology.
“We aim to extend our research to detect adulteration in other liquid products and develop more sensitive sensors for broader applications in quality control and food safety, starting with the impact of temperature on our sensor's performance,” Li said.

Creating a Map Layout from Start to Finish - Neatlines
- Get Into Layout View
- Page Orientation

The neatline is a thin line that encircles each data frame on the final map. It’s job is create a boarder and define where the edge of the map is for both the main map and any inset maps that you may have. Neatlines, depending on the map, may be optional. There are times when the neatline can add to the map (like in the simple map of America above) and other times when it may draw a reader’s attention away from the main map data (like the example below). As new cartographers, it’s best to start with using a neatline every time and begin to experiment without them later.
Adding neatlines to your layout is fairly easy, it’s a simple as selecting “Neatline” from the Insert menu. However, it’s necessary to understand the available options to place the neatline correctly.
When we look at the screenshot below, we see that there are three placement options:
- Place around selected elements
- Use this option to place a neatline around the selected data frame
- Place around all elements
- Use this option to place a neatline at the extent of all elements added to the map (data frames, north arrows, legends, text boxes, etc)
- Place inside margins
- Use this option to place a neatline just inside the printable margins
Other options include those to increase the gap between the neatline and the boundary of the data frame, the choice to round out the corners of the neatline, and select the line type and line weight (border) as well as a background or drop shadow.
Note: While this dialog box will allow you to add the neatline, unless you check the box for “Create separate neatline element”, you will need to use the “Frame” tab found in the Data Frame Properties to change elements of the neatline, which is also a second way to add a neatline “around selected elements”.

Guillermo Del Toro gave fans a top-secret look at his epic sci-fi flick “Pacific Rim” during Saturday’s (July 13) Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment panel at Comic-Con.
“This is for you, totally for you, and those motherf***ers who have the f***ing James Bond cameras in their glasses, don’t use them,” Del Toro tells the crowd before screening a few minutes of the epic battles between human-piloted robots and massive sea monsters.
The movie isn’t due in theaters until July 12, 2013, and Del Toro promises “radio silence” on the film from him and his colleagues — including cast members Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman and Charlie Hunnam — through the end of the year to keep everything under wraps.
So fans who didn’t make it to the panel will just have to trust that Del Toro knows what he’s doing. Someone else who trusts the director implicitly is the film’s star Hunnam, who signed on to “Pacific Rim” without even seeing a script.
“There are probably two filmmakers in the world, Guillermo being one of them, that I would take that leap of faith with,” Hunnam says.
Are you excited to see “Pacific Rim”?

BOLIVAR, Mo. – Gen. Randolph “Tex” Alles, current director of the United States Secret Service and retired Major General of the U.S. Marine Corps, delivered the Constitution Day address during the Sept. 17 Chapel service in Pike Auditorium at Southwest Baptist University.
Constitution Day, which became a national observance in 2004, celebrates the date the U.S. Constitution was signed – Sept. 17, 1787.
“Today, we’re here to honor the wisdom and the foresight of the framers of the Constitution,” Alles said. “I think it’s a timeless document for our country.”
Gen. Alles focused on how the Secret Service fits into the Constitution structure, as well as its responsibilities as an agency of the U.S. government.
“Historically, we know this date, over 200 years ago, was the date delegates of the Constitution convention met to sign a document that would establish the foundation of government and laws for the United States of America,” Alles said. “Prior to the Constitution’s existence, the national government was weak and operated under the Articles of Confederation. It had little power and lacked any enforcement mechanisms as a federal government.”
Alles described the Constitution as “our ultimate and highest law of the land” – a specific and intentional framework by which the 13 states would be governed more as one nation, as opposed to 13 different countries. The Constitution allows the states rights, which play out in the federal arena.
“You see some of that today, whether you’re aware of it or not,” Alles said. “With the current hurricane that is occurring (Hurricane Florence), the federal government cannot come until they are asked by the states. So, we still are very much a country that recognizes the power of the states.”
Through the years, there have been changes in our society and our culture, involving major questions of the Supreme Court, which are answered and settled in the Constitution, Alles said.
“The Constitution is the foundation by which society stands and gives us our checks and balances,” Alles said.
The Constitution covers all aspects of the federal government, and the Secret Service operates under Article 2 of the Constitution, which covers the Executive Branch.
“Each time we graduate a class of agents and officers in the Secret Service, I remind them that they are sworn law enforcement officers and they don’t pledge an oath to any individual,” Alles said. “We swear an oath to the United States. We don’t swear to the President. We don’t swear to a political party. We don’t even swear to you, the people. We swear to the Constitution of the United States because that is the law, the document that enshrines our laws.
“Our law enforcement officers are making a solemn promise, or a vow that they will support the Constitution and defend it. It is a document that has stood for well over 200 years, so I think we can appreciate its standing of time. It’s a platform to build the nation’s laws.”
The Constitution gives the Secret Service power to investigate crimes, enforce certain laws and to provide protection for the nation’s highest elected officials. The Secret Service is authorized to protect the President and Vice President of the United States, their immediate families, former presidents and their spouses, children (under the age of 16) of former presidents, visiting heads of state, major presidential and vice presidential candidates within 120 days of the general presidential election and events of national significance – called National Specific Security Events – such as the State of the Union or the United Nations General Assembly (held every September in New York).
A recent sample of the crimes the Secret Service has investigated include counter-terrorism and cyber crimes, such as credit card fraud, identity theft, mortgage fraud, skimming at gas pumps, jackpotting, cashout, compromised business email and ransom ware.
“The writers (of the Constitution) left us a well-defined structure that can be built upon for future generations,” Alles said. “As we celebrate Constitution Day, we have a remarkable document. It’s taken the nation from a handful of colonies to be one of the greatest nations in the world in a fairly short timeframe.”
Gen. Alles, who lives in northern Virginia, served in the Marine Corps for 35 years, retiring in 2011 as a Major General. He was appointed as director of the U.S. Secret Service by President Donald Trump in April 2017.
“We are very grateful for Director Alles’ generosity in speaking, visiting with students and sharing his experiences in the military and in government,” said Dr. Coyle Neal, associate professor of political science. “We are blessed to have career civil servants with his integrity and competence in important positions.”

'Psychopath' harmful term, may not apply to Hannah Leflar's killer, says psychologist called as expert witness
Psychologist found teen to have low chance to re-offend within 7 to 9 years after release
A psychologist called as an expert witness by the lawyer for the man who killed Hannah Leflar said the killer could have a borderline personality disorder, but suggested the term "psychopath" may not apply to the 19-year-old.
On Wednesday, Terry Nicholaichuk told the sentencing hearing for the 19-year-old at Regina's Court of Queen's Bench that he met with the teen four times in March, and described him as downcast and emotionally flat in the meetings.
During the meetings, Nicholaichuk said he administered a psychopathy test which had a maximum score of 40 points. The higher the score, the more likely a person is to display psychopathic traits.
Nicholaichuk said Leflar's killer scored 8.4 out of 40. By comparison, people who meet the criteria for psychopathy could score 30 or higher. The average federal inmate had a score of 20.
"The term 'psychopath' is a pejorative. It can do somebody a lot of damage," Nicholaichuk said.
He said he did find traits in the teen which could suggest a borderline personality disorder or a depressive disorder.
The teen, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was 16 when, in January 2015, he stabbed Leflar to death in her home in Regina. He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder last year.
A second opinion
Psychiatrist Brent Harold testified last week that the teen had displayed "psychopathic tendencies" which he had only seen in a handful of youths out of thousands, Leflar's killer included.
A community youth worker with the Intensive Rehabilitative Custody Supervision program said the teen has a 54 per cent chance of re-offending.
Nicholaichuk, by comparison, said the teen had a 8.5 per cent chance of re-offending seven to nine years after release.
Nicholaichuk also said the teen had not made any emotional attachments to anyone and suicide would be a possibility if he did not receive proper treatment.
The Crown will question Nicholaichuk Wednesday afternoon.
Hearing expected to wrap Wednesday
The sentencing hearing heard last week that the teen obsessed over Leflar leading up to her death.
It was frequently mentioned throughout the sentencing hearing that the teen had harmed himself on one occasion and has threatened suicide if he were to receive an adult sentence.
- Hannah Leflar's killer threatened to harm self if sentenced as adult, psychologist tells hearing
- Hannah Leflar's killer mused about becoming 'serial killer' in online messages
Psychologist Elizabeth McGrath and pediatric psychiatrist Oladapo Soyemi have testified that the killer had expressed remorse to them.
The sentencing hearing for the killer, which began May 8, is expected to wrap up Wednesday. The hearing will determine whether or not he should be sentenced as an adult.
An adult sentence carries a term of life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years while a youth sentence would amount to 10 years, involving time both in and out of custody.

A police officer in Camden, Missouri, shot and killed a pet golden retriever as the family looked on in horror. The children ran in their home screaming, and are now devastated by the loss. The family reports that the retriever, named Marley, was three-and-a-half-years-old and had no history of aggression.
The golden retriever's owner, Rhiannon Wilhite, described the tragedy.
"When I looked that's when I heard the shots. He shot him once then shot him twice, then there was a pause and he shot him a third time. I heard my kids screaming and I ran into the house."She told local news Fox 4 that her children didn't want anything for Christmas that year, except to have Marley back.
"They become your family members and like I told some of my closest friends, I watched my family member get murdered."According to the Daily Mail, on December 17, the golden retriever was seen barking at a little girl getting off of the local school bus and he followed her part of the way home. Marley had a habit of greeting the children at the bus stop after school.
Later that day, a Ray County Sheriff's patrol car rolled into the family's parkway. The officer explained that the retriever should be on a leash when near the bus station.
Wilhite was pulling the golden retriever into the house as the officer began to leave, but the dog got away and ran to the other side of the yard. That's when the officer shot Marley.
Wilhite's husband Raymond was there for the last seconds of the retriever's life.
"I saw Marley get shot the second time, he fell on the ground. Then probably 30 seconds, at least 30 seconds after that of being on the ground he shot again, the third time."Afterwards, the officer claimed that he had feared for his life and thought the golden retriever was going to bite him. He left, leaving Marley's dead body behind in the family's yard.
"I borrowed a shovel from my dad and I went out back and buried Marley," Raymond Wilhite said. "I dug a hole back there and I talked with Marley some more and the kids came out and they said bye."
The family is now trying to file an official complaint, but law enforcement has been unresponsive. The local news reported that when she contacted the Camden police department they directed her to the sheriff's office. The sheriff's office said they don't do internal investigations, and the family would have to talk to the attorney general.
The police were equally unresponsive to media requests.
It seems like there will be no justice for Marley the golden retriever.

Protecting innocent spouses.
In many marriages, one spouse handles the couple's financial affairs, including preparation of joint income tax returns. But what happens if that spouse intentionally mis-states income or deductions and thus understates the couple's tax liability? Is the other spouse liable for any resulting taxes, interest and penalties? The Internal Revenue Code's innocent spouse provisions, combined with case law, provide relief in limited situations.
When a joint return is filed, IRC section 6013(d)(3) requires both taxpayers to be jointly and severally liable for any tax. Particularly after a divorce, one spouse may discover the other spouse reported taxable income incorrectly. Thus if taxes, interest and penalties are due, the innocent spouse is jointly and severally liable for the entire tax bill.
Section 6013(e)'s innocent spouse provisions were enacted to address situations in which an innocent person, in addition to the government, was misled by a spouse who incorrectly reported taxable income. The law provides relief when it is inequitable to expect the innocent spouse to pay interest and taxes.
The innocent spouse provisions were amended by the Tax Reform Act of 1984 to broaden the scope of relief. Recent cases suggest the Tax Court, supported by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, continues to restrict relief to very limited factual situations. The Second, Eighth and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeals have interpreted the amendments more liberally. (The side-bar on page 65 outlines the geographic area these courts cover.) This article reviews the amendments and discusses the different standards applied by the courts.
THE OLD RULES
Before 1984, section 6013(e) established these criteria to be eligible for innocent spouse treatment:
* A joint return must have been filed and gross income omitted.
* The innocent spouse must establish that, in signing the return, he or she did not know of, and had no reason to know of, the omission.
* It must be inequitable to hold the innocent spouse liable for the tax deficiency. Such a determination must take into account whether the innocent spouse significantly benefited, directly or indirectly, from the omission.
This section generally was interpreted by the courts as applying to limited factual situations. Innocent spouse relief was available only when a court was convinced the innocent spouse had no knowledge of omitted income. Relief was not available when an innocent spouse was aware income had been omitted but did not understand its tax consequences.
THE NEW RULES
Congress broadened the scope of section 6013(e) in amendments to the TRA of 1984. In addition to omitted income, innocent spouse treatment was extended to cases of improper deductions, credits and cost-basis amounts. The amendments retroactively applied to all open tax years.
Under section 6013(e)(1), four conditions are required for innocent spouse relief:
1. A joint return must have been filed.
2. A substantial understatement of tax must be attributable to one spouse's grossly erroneous items.
3. The innocent spouse must establish he or she did not know, and had no reason to know, of the substantial understatement.
4. In light of the facts and circumstances, it is inequitable to hold the innocent spouse liable for the resulting taxes.
Section 6013(e)(2) defines grossly erroneous items as
* Any income items the culpable spouse omitted from gross income.
* Any deduction, credit or cost-basis claims by that spouse in amounts for which there is no basis in fact or law.
In at least two cases, appeals courts differed with the Tax Court interpretation of the third requirement--knowledge of the transaction. Both the Eighth and Ninth Circuits reversed the Tax Court's application of this requirement; the Second Circuit has indicated it will follow this interpretation. However, in a similar case, the Eleventh Circuit sided with the Tax Court in determining a wife had reason to know of a substantial understatement and did not qualify for innocent spouse treatment.
INTERPRETING THE KNOWLEDGE STANDARD
The Tax Court interprets the knowledge standard as it did before the amendment. For example, in Bokum (94 TC 126 ), the court discovered the taxpayer was aware of the sale of a ranch. Although the transaction was included on the return, the tax treatment of the sale was eventually determined to result in a substantial understatement of the couple's tax liability. The court decided mere knowledge of the transaction was sufficient to preclude relief under section 6013.
This is a strict interpretation of the standard as it applies to cases involving deductions, credits or basis amounts. In most instances, if an innocent spouse examined a return before signing it, the deduction, credit or basis amounts on it provide enough information to put him or her on notice and require further inquiry. In such cases, the Tax Court generally will decide an innocent spouse has knowledge of a transaction and does not qualify for relief.
ELEVENTH CIRCUIT AGREES
The Tax Court applied the knowledge standard and denied relief to Madeline Stevens. The Eleventh Circuit (89-1 USTC para. 9330 ) upheld the Tax Court decision and denied Stevens relief under section 6013(e) and held her jointly liable with her ex-husband for tax deficiencies exceeding $300,000.
In addressing the knowledge standard, the court only considered whether she had reason to know of the understatements, focusing on whether a reasonably prudent person who had sufficient knowledge of the facts underlying the claimed deductions would question them. In making its determination, the appeals court listed four criteria for applying the prudent taxpayer test:
1. The level of the innocent spouse's education.
2. The innocent spouse's involvement in financial affairs.
3. The couple's life-style. (Do expenditures appear lavish or unusual compared with past spending patterns?)
4. The culpable spouse's behavior. (Is he or she evasive or deceitful in handling the couple's finances?)
In Stevens, the court made the following observations:
1. Stevens had attended two years of college.
2. Stevens was not only an officer in her husband's corporation but also a secretary and bookkeeper. The court concluded she had unhindered access to the facts underlying the tax shelters that gave rise to the tax deficiencies. The couple discussed the pros and cons of various tax shelters periodically and she knew generally of the nature of the shelters he sold and in which he invested. Both spouses discussed their tax returns with their accountant, so she knew the losses claimed on the returns were attributable to tax shelters.
3. The court argued the couple's affluence when their tax returns reflected losses greatly in excess of income made the third criterion highly pertinent. The court had difficulty believing someone in Stevens's position would not question the accuracy of the tax liability on the returns.
The Eleventh Circuit said Stevens's participation in her husband's financial affairs and their lavish life-style should have given her reason to know the tax returns contained substantial understatements of tax liability. Thus, Stevens had reason to know of the substantial understatement and was not entitled to innocent spouse relief.
BROADENING THE STANDARD
In both Price (89-2 USTC para. 9598) and Erdahl (91-1 USTC para. 50,184) the taxpayers' ex-husbands reported incorrect deductions on their joint returns. Both Price and Erdahl noted the deductions on the returns, questioned their propriety and were assured by their husbands the deductions were proper. In Price's case, a CPA prepared and signed the return. In both cases, the Tax Court disallowed innocent spouse treatment because Price and Erdahl were aware of the deductions.
In reversing the Tax Court, the appeals courts referred to committee reports suggesting Congress had intended to expand innocent spouse treatment to excessive deductions and not to limit relief to unreported income (HR Rep. no. 432, 98th Cong., 2nd sess., at 1502). As in Stevens, these courts applied the prudent taxpayer test. But, contrary to Stevens, the women were allowed innocent spouse relief even though they were aware of the transactions that eventually resulted in additional taxes.
In Price, the Ninth Circuit applied the prudent taxpayer test in determining if Price had reason to know of the substantial understatement. Although Price was aware of a mining investment, her knowledge of the venture was limited. Since she was aware of the large deduction on the return, the Ninth Circuit examined the question of whether Price had reason to know of the substantial underpayment. In applying the prudent taxpayer test, the court found (1) Price had limited involvement in the family's financial affairs and no involvement in the mining venture, (2) there were no unusual or lavish expenditures during this period and (3) her husband took advantage of her lack of understanding and misled her. The Ninth Circuit concluded Price's awareness of the facts was not sufficient for her to know of the substantial understatement.
The court then considered whether her awareness of the facts would put her on notice such an understatement existed and would result in a duty to make further inquiry. According to the court, Price should have inquired further, but she satisfied this duty by questioning the deduction and receiving assurances it was proper. The Ninth Circuit concluded Price satisfied the prudent taxpayer test and was entitled to relief under section 6013(e).
In making this determination, the Ninth Circuit expanded the knowledge standard as it applied to deduction, credit and basis cases. The court concluded applying the same standard as in omission cases was overly restrictive.
In Erdahl, the Eighth Circuit agreed with the Ninth Circuit and concluded mere knowledge of a deduction did not preclude innocent spouse relief, but a spouse aware of a deduction had a duty to inquire further.
In Hayman, (93-1 USTC para. 50,272) the Second Circuit agreed with the Tax Court's denial of innocent spouse relief for various reasons. However, the court clearly indicated it would follow the knowledge test articulated in Price and Erdahl.
FINDING A SYMPATHETIC COURT
For a spouse to find relief under section 6013(e)'s innocent spouse provisions, he or she must meet all four of the requirements described in section 6013(e)(1). Many recent cases were decided based on the third requirement--that the innocent spouse establish he or she did not know, or have reason to know, there was a substantial understatement on a return. In many cases, this probably will be the condition on which the IRS and the courts focus when considering innocent spouse relief.
The Second, Eighth and Ninth Circuits have interpreted this requirement to apply when a reasonably prudent taxpayer can be expected to know a return contains a substantial understatement. The Eleventh Circuit says mere knowledge of a transaction eventually causing a substantial understatement fulfills this requirement. The Tax Court still applies the more restrictive standard in all districts except the Second, Eighth and Ninth circuits. Only in the Eleventh Circuit will that position be relatively certain to stand. With similar cases originating in other districts, the Tax Court will apply the more restrictive standard, although the appeals court for that district may require application of the less restrictive standard on appeal.
* IF ONE SPOUSE INTENTIONALLY misstates income or deductions and understates a couple's joint tax liability, the other spouse may be jointly and severally liable for any resulting taxes, interest and penalties.
* INTERNAL REVENUE CODE section 6013(e) provides relief to innocent spouses who were misled if it is unfair to expect them to pay the additional taxes, interest and penalties.
* RELIEF UNDER SECTION 6013(e) is granted under four conditions:
1. A joint return must have been filed.
2. The tax must have been substantially understated due to one spouse's grossly erroneous items.
3. The innocent spouse must establish he or she did not know and had no reason to know of the understatement.
4. It is inequitable to hold the innocent spouse liable for the taxes in question.
* THE TAX COURT AND SOME circuit courts have not applied these conditions consistently. Granting relief often depends on the innocent spouse's level of education and involvement in financial affairs. Also of concern are lavish spending patterns in the face of large losses and the culpable spouse's evasiveness and deceit in handling the couple's finances.
* THE TAX COURT CONTINUES to apply a more restrictive standard except in cases that will be appealed to the Second, Eighth and Ninth appellate courts, which have been more liberal in granting relief to innocent spouses.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU DO, BUT WHERE YOU LIVE
Based on recent decisions, applying the knowledge-of-the-transaction standard to innocent spouse cases often can be a matter of geography.
Cases originating in the Second, Eighth and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeals generally are decided by applying the less restrictive knowledge-of-the-transaction standard. The Second Circuit includes Connecticut, New York and Vermont. The Eighth Circuit covers Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. The Ninth Circuit includes Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Guam.
Cases in the Eleventh Circuit, including Alabama, Florida and Georgia, generally are decided by applying the more restrictive knowledge standard.

A study from a California research team shows an increasing number of Californians moving to Montana. Courtesy: City of Bozeman and Michelle Wolfe
A study out of California shows an increasing number of Californians moving to Montana. According to the data, one of the most popular destinations for people moving out of California during the pandemic was Montana.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported more than 13,000 Californians moved to Montana since the beginning of the pandemic.
“The younger families is what I’m seeing coming here full-time,” Bozeman real estate broker Christy Delger said. “Then, with the older people that aren’t worried so much about their kids, they’re coming here as they can, and then they do plan on moving here full-time, eventually. So it’s kind of both, is what I’m personally seeing. “
Many real estate agents in Bozeman said the growing connectivity the Bozeman-Yellowstone International Airport offers is a big reason why more Californians are relocating to the area.
“It kind of happened simultaneously with the pandemic,” Delger said. “Where our airport got to the stage where especially California, because of the direct flights to San Francisco and L.A., Long Beach. It just became a more viable option to be able to continue to work in California but come here much more often and easier.”
People are fleeing urban areas for more space in the wake of the pandemic.
According to a report from the California Policy Lab, a research group from the University of California, more San Franciscans moved to Montana than to any other state during the pandemic.
“One question which we got a lot but can’t answer is the ‘why’ people are moving,” California Policy Lab director of communications and outreach Sean Coffey said. “The report was focused on the ‘what.’”
The report showed Bay Area residents are the largest group leaving California. After Montana, Utah is seeing the next highest migration. Between the two states, there’s a 140% increase of San Franciscans calling these Rocky Mountain states home.
“It’s the access to recreation,” Delger said. “When you’re in a more urban environment, things are getting shut down left and right, you come to a place like Bozeman and it’s still a playground, we still have rivers and lakes and mountains and skiing and all the activities that are perfect in a pandemic because they’re outside.”
Californians aren’t having to give up too much of what they loved about city life with Bozeman’s tech startups, the downtown atmosphere and Montana State University. Some Montana cities are offering the best of both worlds.
On the flip side, many Montanans selling their homes are leaving the area. According to local realtors, some Montanans are taking the profit and moving to more affordable places.

My headaches have been awful in the week. To the point I had to turn my hot shower to a cold one as the hot water was feeling uncomfortable against my head. Taking paracetamol & trying to keep hydrated. Anyone else?
Some days are worse than others for me. Sometimes my head hurts just from my messy bun and I have to let my hair down to relieve the pressure! The sun outdoors will hurt my eyes so much too. My temples will just pound, pound, pound....I try and lay down, drink water, or nibble on something. When I cannot take it, I have taken tylenol a few times. They are the worst!
The gel migraine strips you can usually get from a pharmacy or medical aisle in a supermarket (in the UK I assume same in other countries). They're just a cold compress, I suppose similar to an ice pack but they are adhesive to the forehead and you can sleep with them on etc which is nice
I have been having horrible migraines as well. My doctor approved me to take Excedrin Tension headache, which is asprin-free. I find that it helps but I supplement with a cold compress on my head and eyes and I have to be in complete darkness. I also use lavender and peppermint essential oils in a diffuser. Someone mentioned not using peppermint during pregnancy and through my research and what my doctor has told me, they say that it is not harmful, but to stop using it 3-4 weeks before birth because it decreases your milk supply.

Good questions, Dzukifli – MACC must not only resist Najib hiving off SPRM to Paul Low, it must demand MACC comes directly under an Opposition-headed Parliamentary Committee to ensure its independence and professionalism
“Who are you to control us, MACC boss gives Low a blow” is the Malaysiakini headline for a Penang-datelined report of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad hitting out at Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datuk Paul Llow for his proposal for a new Department of National Integrity and Good Governance (JITN) to monitor MACC and ensure that it properly investigate corruption cases and charges perpetrators effectively.
Dzukifli fumed and said: “We are supposed to be independent. If the excuse of forming the JITN is to monitor MACC, why should I report to him?”
He then asked:
"Who is this minister? Who is the minister to control how we investigate cases?”
Good questions, Dzulifli. MACC must not only resist the Prime Minister hiving off MACC to Paul Low’s JITN so that he does not have to personally direct the “dirty work” of directing the MACC, MACC must demand that it comes directly under an Opposition-headed Parliamentary Committee to ensure its independence and professionalism.
MACC is “supposed” to be independent, but it is not. It will be even less “independent” when it is hived off to Paul Low under JITN!
The 1MDB scandal is the worst blot on the independence and professionalism of the MACC.
The three FAQs on 1MDB scandal are:
- Whether Najib received RM2.6 billion donation from Saudi royalty;
- Whether Najib returned RM2.1 billion to Saudi royalty; and
- Whether the RM144 million pink diamond necklace for the “wife of MO1” came from stolen 1MDB funds.
The answers to all these three FAQs about the 1MDB scandal are available in great detail in the US DOJ’s largest kleptocratic litigation to forfeit US$1.7 billion 1MDB-linked assets in the United States, United Kingdom and Switzerland.
The answers to the three FAQs are: (1) Najib never received RM2.6 billion donation from Saudi royalty, although he received other donations from Saudi sources. The monies came from 1MDB funds. (2) Najib never returned the RM2.1 billion to Saudi royalty, as the money did not come from Saudi sources, but were returned to Tanore account in Singapore and were from stolen 1MDB funds. (3) The RM2.1 billion returned to Tanore account in Singapore was used to buy, among other things, the RM144 million pink diamond necklace for the “wife of MO1”.
These details all to be found in the 10 “killer” paragraphs in the US DOJ kleptocratic litigation - Paragraph 339 to 348 under the section “$681 MILLION WAS TRANSFERRED FROM THE TANORE ACCOUNT TO AN ACCOUNT BELONGING TO MALAYSIAN OFFICIAL 1”.
Why had the MACC and the Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamad Apandi Ali cleared Najib of any wrongdoing with regard to the 1MDB scandal?
In view of the US DOJ kleptocratic litigation and all the evidence in these 10 “killer” paragraphs in the US DOJ litigation, are Dzulkifli and Apandi going to re-open investigations into the 1MDB case?
Malaysians do not expect Dzulkifli and Apandi to re-open investigations into the 1MDB scandal, as this can only be done if there is a new Pakatan Harapan Federal Government in Putrajaya after the 14th General Election, when MACC will be responsible directly to a Parliamentary Committee and not to Najib or Paul Low.

CMSS Joins 'Red Flags Rule' Lawsuit Against FTC
Norman Kahn, MD, executive vice president and CEO of CMSS, says that if the rule applies to its members, it "would substantially drain the financial resources of physicians, particularly those whose support systems are limited."
Also, groups opposing the rule claim it is not appropriate for certain practices.
"A plan for a physician who serves in a rural area in which patients are well-known will be different from one for a physician in a large group in an urban area," the CMSS said in its statement. Time required to comply with the rule will "necessarily detract from the attention physicians are able to give their patients."
In the latest postponement, the FTC said the delay will allow Congress to consider legislation that would affect the scope of entities covered by the rule."
In a statement in June, FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz said, "Congress needs to fix the unintended consequences of the legislation establishing the Red Flags Rule—and to fix this problem quickly." He added, "As an agency we're charged with enforcing the law, and endless extensions delay enforcement."

JACKSON COUNTY, MS (WLOX) - A former Jackson County heart surgeon accused of growing marijuana is in jail. Dr. David Allen faces six new felony charges, which include attempting to bribe and intimidate witnesses in the case.
In March, the 53-year-old physician was charged with cultivating marijuana and the sale of a controlled substance. Allen was arrested in California where authorities said he ran a Medical Marijuana Evaluation business.
Dr. David Allen, once a prominent doctor at Singing River Hospital in Pascagoula, now sits behind bars for the second time this year.
"I feel it is a long time coming," Narcotics Task Force Commander Curtis Spiers said. "I feel he has muddied the water enough on this particular case."
In February, narcotics agents raided Dr. Allen's home in Escatawpa, off Highway 613, after receiving a tip he was growing pot on the property.
"There was marijuana being grown there, there were drugs being shipped in and out of there for profit and that is why the place has been seized," Spiers said.
Drug agents said Allen was out on bond when they got another tip he was trying to intimidate witnesses, or get them to skip town or lie for him under oath.
"The witnesses in this case were offered money, they were offered jobs, offered free expense flights to another state."
Sheriff's deputies and drug agents said they spent five months investigating the witness tampering tip. Wednesday morning, authorities set up a sting at a hotel in St. Martin.
"It is just another case of someone trying to circumvent the law," Sheriff Mike Byrd said about Dr. Allen. "We are going to do everything we can to get this case before a grand jury as soon as possible to get him indicted, and get him to trial. He is no different than anyone else."
The doctor has posted several videos on YouTube, including a six minute and 19 second video called "Land Larceny: Dr. David Allen's Story." In it he accuses Jackson County authorities of being nothing more than "domestic terrorists." But he does admit there was a small amount of pot on his property.
Sheriff Byrd and Curtis Spiers said they've seen Allen's YouTube video, and they dismiss it as nothing more than a drug suspect attempting to take the focus away from the crime.

DOH-Orange Honored for Excellence in Public Health
August 06, 2020
The Florida Department of Health in Orange County was recently honored with the 2020 Model Practice Award by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). The award celebrates local health departments for developing programs that demonstrate exemplary and replicable best practices in response to a critical local public health need.
The Florida Department of Health in Orange County’s “Step into Your Best Life” program was one of 21 local health department programs to receive NACCHO’s prestigious Model Practice Award.
Focusing on cardiovascular disease prevention, the Step Into Your Best Life program provided free Chicago-style Steppin’ lessons to the community last year. The program’s motto was improving your heart one step at a time. Besides the weekly step lessons over the course of two months, the program was a chance for participants from priority populations to learn more about heart health through facilitated discussions and with the screening of the High Blood Pressure documentary.
“The Florida Department of Health in Orange County is honored to receive this national award for a program that benefited over 200 residents,” said Dr. Raul Pino, Health Officer for the Florida Department of Health in Orange County. “The Step Into Your Best Life program not only improved participants’ hearts through step lessons, but it also encouraged them to live a healthy lifestyle.”
Since 2003, NACCHO’s Model Practice Awards have honored programs, resources, and tools that demonstrate how local health departments and their community partners can effectively collaborate to address local public health challenges. Each innovative project receiving the Model Practice Award was peer-reviewed and selected from a competitive group of over 100 applicants.
Step Into Your Best Life program is now part of an online, searchable database of successful public health practices in areas that range from immunization and maternal and child health, to infectious diseases and emergency preparedness. The NACCHO Model Practice database allows local health departments., public health partners, and other important stakeholders to learn about the good work being done by local health departments across the country. The database also provides users an opportunity to learn from best practices and what resources are needed to implement comparable programs in other jurisdictions that produces results.

MOOD TEXTILE LAMINATED IN GLASS MAKES ROOMS BRIGHT
A new dimension in cinema entertainment at the Cineplex Baden-Baden
Since 16th April 2015, the visitors of the Cineplex Baden-Baden can enjoy the cinema in a new dimension. The modern building is located in the western part of Baden-Baden in the German state of Baden-Württemberg and has eight movie theaters. An incomparable eye-catcher in the restaurant area there is created by the deep lighting effects of ETTLIN LUX®, which are embedded in round wall panels made of glass.
Amazing light effects at the Cineplex in Baden-Baden | Foto: AHA GmbH
Mood textiles laminated in glass for a special lighting effect
Three round cut-outs in the wall of the restaurant area of the Cineplex Baden-Baden provide an impressive eye-catcher. To backlight these areas, three square glass elements were laminated with ETTLIN LUX®Textil Mood 1368. Using the textile laminated into two 6 mm thick glasses, creates a luminous effect that makes the room appear deeper and larger.
Mood 1368 laminated in glass captures the attention of visitors anyway | Foto: AHA GmbH
The technical-looking character of Mood 1368 adapts to the ambience of the Cineplex building well. The design of the wall coverings originates from the interior design studio AHA GmbH and comes in two different sizes. Two of the three glass elements were processed in the size of 218 cm x 178 cm (H x W) and one glass element in the size of 218 cm x 155 cm (H x W).
The lighting effect is done by RGBW LED strips, which are diagonally placed behind the laminated glass elements.
What makes the textile Mood 1368 so special?
ETTLIN LUX® Mood fabric is mostly used to be laminated on glass or acryl. Embedded in the glass, it gives an intense lighting effect where the light sources remain visible. This is how the textile receives a technical character.
Do you need some support or inspiration for your next project?
Mood in the glass is very versatile: in shopping centers, exhibition buildings, shops, cinemas or facilities of the public area. We can assist you with your planning!

Only in India, folks.
A 85-year-old politician (N.D.Tiwari) is not only going ‘strong’ but tries ‘it’ with three nubile girls ahem simultaneously.
Guys, what do you think is the secret of Tiwari-ji’s sexcess?
As for us, we’re rushing to the Indian grocery store and buying ourselves a big bottle of Chyawanprash.
You think it’ll help? 😉
By the way, Tiwari-ji will soon be leaving Randi Bhavan in Hyderabad having resigned as Governor.
Mera Bharat Mahaan.
He apparently finds Governorship+3 girls easier than being CM of Uttaragaand (oh, we don’t know how many girls he was dealing with there!)..
He offered to resign on 5 March 2006, citing his age.
Now, there’s some talk of Tiwari being senile….we think they actually meant penile. 😉
Its always whether the criminal is caught with the hand in the cookie jar. For example future TN CM Stalin is “known” to have been involved in several of these kind of affairs, even arrested only have his dad bail him out.
Given his age, after a foursome he would probably would’ve been called by Clinton for ‘performance’ tips 😉
In this case the media rather than condemning him should nominate him for Bharat Ratna!
You write above: In this case the media rather than condemning him should nominate him for Bharat Ratna!
Like Clinton, Tiwari too was doing ‘it’ during work hours. 😉

When Tony Hernandez talks wistfully about daily life in his native Monterrey, Mexico, he sounds like a man who's deeply in love with his barrio .
"We put some tables on the street and barbecue carne asada ," he says with a smile. "We take the boombox out and play the Beatles or La Tropa Colombiana. My wife, my mother, my father, people from the neighborhood. We talk about life, about the state of Mexico. We question ourselves. We're like Gypsies."
The barrio is an ever-present source of inspiration in the music of El Gran Silencio, the rock en espanol quintet with rap undertones that Hernandez, 30, founded with his brother Cano in 1993.
In fact, one of the most powerful songs in the band's new album, "Chuntaros Radio Poder," is a breathless, evocative rap describing the band members' return to the neighborhood after an extended tour.
"Everybody was so proud of us when we came back from our first big tour," he recalls. "My wife got all pretty for me. My friends came to my door so that we could go play soccer in the street. The old ladies from the barrio came to say hello."
The band will be previewing the new album (which EMI Latin is releasing on July 17) on Saturday at the Greek Theatre, where it plays as part of the touring rock en espanol showcase Planeta Rock. They will be sharing the stage with Aterciopelados, El Haragan and Los Rabanes.
A creative tour de force, the 35-track "Chuntaros Radio Poder" positions El Gran Silencio as one of the key bands in the rock en espanol field, a step or two away from genre veterans such as Fabulosos Cadillacs and Cafe Tacuba.
Although it took Tacuba and the Cadillacs a number of albums before they were able to reach artistic maturity, El Gran Silencio's development has been swift. "Chuntaros" is the group's second album.
"Libres y Locos" (Free and Crazy), its 1998 debut, created an instant buzz in the Latin rock community with its effortless combination of the rap lexicon with a ranchera sensibility. And unlike other rap en espanol acts, they actually performed their music live with real instruments.
One early fan was noted producer Rick Rubin (Beastie Boys, Johnny Cash, et al), who, after attending a Los Angeles gig, called them up and offered to produce their next album, according to the band.
Hernandez and company, however, felt it was important to launch their band from Mexico rather than the U.S., so they decided to produce "Chuntaros" themselves. And this time around, the music defies description.
The record creates a day in the life of an imaginary radio station, with an array of popular Monterrey DJs taking turns presenting the songs.
The rap element is not as heavy now. Indeed, the collection includes a couple of more traditional songs, some of which betray the group's weakness for the grandiloquent rock of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
These influences, however, are buried underneath a barrage of swinging Latin American rhythms, from the norteno to Colombia's cumbia and vallenato .
Latin folklore has been a steady presence in rock en espanol since the genre's coming of age in the mid-'90s. But many of these purported homages were tongue-in-cheek. You were never sure if Cafe Tacuba or Aterciopelados was paying respect to the music of their parents, mocking it or doing a little bit of both.
El Gran Silencio, on the other hand, can't hide its heartfelt admiration for the rural music of Mexico and Colombia.
"When Tacuba released 'Ingrata' [a norteno- style song] in 1994, I really felt that they were mocking the norteno people and the music from the cantinas," says Hernandez. "And most of the rockeros I encounter think that cumbia is an artless form. But that's not true. Some of the best bass players I've listened to lately come from cumbia and vallenato ."
These Colombian genres are especially popular with Monterrey's working class. Their fans are sometimes called chuntaros , a derogatory term that the band has made its own by altering its meaning.
In the Gran Silencio aesthetic, a chuntaro is someone who is honest with himself, freely enjoys his own quirky taste and doesn't care about what other people think of him.
Not surprisingly, Hernandez explains, the one band that El Gran Silencio identifies the most with is norteno superstars Los Tigres del Norte.
Like Los Tigres, the members of El Silencio do everything in their power to avoid the trappings of fame.
"If I pretended to be a rock star and spent my nights partying at discos after the shows, right now I'd be writing songs about estupideces [stupid things]," Hernandez says. "That's why I'd rather come back home and spend time with my family. I watch a bit of TV, listen to my favorite DJs on the radio and record bootleg CDs of rare Colombian music for my friends in the barrio ."
