For the latest information about developments related to Schedule PH (Form 1120) and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/form1120.
For tax years beginning after December 31, 2015, a corporation can elect to treat dividends paid after the end of the tax year and before the 16th day of the 4th month following the end of the tax year as paid during its tax year. Special rules apply to corporations with tax years ending in June. See the instructions for line 12.
Use Schedule PH to figure the personal holding company (PHC) tax.
A corporation that is a PHC must file Schedule PH by attaching it to its income tax return.
Generally, a corporation is a PHC if it meets both of the following requirements.
PHC income test. At least 60% of the corporation's adjusted ordinary gross income for the tax year is PHC income. See the instructions for Part II and the Worksheet for Figuring Ordinary Gross Income, Adjusted Ordinary Gross Income, and the PHC Income Test (Worksheet), later. Also, see Specific Instructions below.
Stock ownership requirement. At any time during the last half of the tax year, more than 50% in value of the corporation's outstanding stock is directly or indirectly owned by five or fewer individuals.
For purposes of this requirement, the following organizations are considered individuals.
A qualified pension, profit-sharing, or stock bonus plan described in section 401(a).
A trust described in section 501(c)(17) that provides for the payment of supplemental unemployment compensation under certain conditions.
A private foundation described in section 509(a).
A part of a trust permanently set aside or exclusively used for the purpose described in section 642(c).
The term "personal holding company" does not include the following corporations, even if the two requirements above are met.
Banks, domestic building and loan associations, and certain lending or finance companies.
Life insurance and surety companies.
Certain small business investment companies operating under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958.
Corporations under the jurisdiction of the court in a title 11 or similar case.
A corporation that has an activity subject to the at-risk or passive activity rules or interest expense subject to the earnings stripping rules (or both) may have deductions and losses suspended or limited under these rules. As a result, do not use deductions and losses limited or suspended in any of the PHC computations. Treat any prior year deductions and losses allowed under the at-risk, passive activity, and earnings stripping rules as current year deductions and losses.
Important: To determine if a corporation is a PHC, follow the steps below to complete Schedule PH and the Worksheet, later.
Complete Part I. Then, complete lines 1 through 5 of the Worksheet.
Complete Part II and then line 6 of the Worksheet.
Generally, if line 6 of the Worksheet is 60% or more and the stock ownership requirement (Part IV) is met, the corporation must file Schedule PH and pay the PHC tax. However, see Exceptions above.
If the corporation determines that it must file Schedule PH and pay the PHC tax, it must complete Part III, line 26, to figure the amount of the PHC tax.
Enter the amount from Form 1120, line 28. If the income on line 28 was figured using section 443(b) (placing the income on an annual basis), refigure it without using that section.
The information required by Regulations section 1.545-2(h)(2).
There was a reasonable expectation that the property's operation would result in a profit, or that the property was necessary to conduct the business.
The PHC tax under section 541.
*The foreign tax credit is not allowed against PHC tax. But, as described above, the corporation can take a deduction for taxes paid to foreign countries and U.S. possessions even if a credit was claimed when figuring the corporation's income tax.
Attach a schedule showing the type of tax, the tax year, and the amount. For more information, see section 545(b)(1).
Figure the deduction using the limitations under sections 170(b)(1)(A), (B), (D), and (E), but without sections 170(b)(2) and (d)(1). When figuring the limitations under section 170(b)(1), use taxable income figured with the adjustments (other than the 10% limitation) provided in sections 170(b)(2) and (d)(1) and without any expenses and depreciation disallowed under section 545(b)(6).
Instead of the net operating loss deduction provided in section 172, a deduction is allowed for the net operating loss (as defined in section 172(c)) for the preceding tax year figured without the special dividends-received deductions for corporations.
Include in the total for line 10 any deduction for amounts used or irrevocably set aside to pay or retire qualified indebtedness under section 545(c) (as in effect before November 5, 1990). See Regulations section 1.545-3. Enter the amount and "Section 545(c)" on the dotted line next to line 10.
Generally, the corporation can elect to treat dividends (other than deficiency dividends) paid after the end of the year and before the 16th day of the 4th month following the end of the tax year as paid during its tax year. However, a corporation with a fiscal tax year ending on June 30, or a corporation with a short tax year ending anytime in June, can elect to treat dividends (other than deficiency dividends) paid after the end of the year and before the 16th day of the 3rd month following the end of the tax year as paid during its tax year. Enter these dividends on line 12 but not in Part VI.
The term "ordinary gross income" (used below) means line 3 of the Worksheet. The term "adjusted ordinary gross income" means line 5 of the Worksheet.
A corporation may be subject to the PHC tax if at least 60% of its adjusted ordinary gross income for the tax year is PHC income. Use Part II to figure the amount of the corporation's PHC income. Then, complete line 6 of the Worksheet to determine if the corporation is a PHC.
Dividends received by a U.S. shareholder (as defined in section 951(b)) from a controlled foreign corporation (as defined in section 957(a)) are excluded from personal holding company income under section 543(a)(1)(C). Enter the total amount of dividends excluded on line 14b.
Enter the total of interest excluded on line 15b. The following interest can be excluded from PHC income.
Interest on amounts set aside in a reserve fund under chapter 533 or 535 of Title 46, United States Code.
Any financing for a customer secured by securities or money market instruments.
Interest from line 4d of the Worksheet.
See sections 543(a)(1) and 543(b)(2)(C) for more information.
Rents can be excluded from PHC income if both of the following tests are met.
The adjusted income from rents (line 18c) is at least 50% of adjusted ordinary gross income.
10% of ordinary gross income.
For this purpose, PHC income includes copyright royalties and adjusted income from mineral, oil, and gas royalties, but does not include the amounts from lines 18c and 22.

If all of the above tests are met, mineral, oil, and gas royalties can be excluded from PHC income. Do not complete lines 19a through 19c.
If mineral, oil, and gas royalties are not excluded, enter the total mineral, oil, and gas royalties (including production payments and overriding royalties) on line 19a. Enter the amount from line 4b of the Worksheet on line 19b and complete line 19c.

See section 543(d) for more information.
Produced film rents can be excluded from PHC income if the rents constitute at least 50% of ordinary gross income. See section 543(a)(5) for the definition of produced film rents.
This line applies only to a corporation with other PHC income in excess of 10% of ordinary gross income. For purposes of this limitation, other PHC income is defined in section 543(a)(6)(C).
Enter on line 22 amounts received as compensation for the use of, or right to use, tangible property of the corporation by or for an individual, who at any time during the tax year directly or indirectly owned at least 25% in value of the corporation's outstanding stock.

Three times bankrupt builder illegally ran two more firms
And his partner helped him do it
Martin NaylorCourt Reporter
Edwards has been declared bankrupt three times
A Derbyshire builder banned from being a director after becoming bankrupt three times illegally carried on running two firms.
Derby Crown Court heard how Jason Edwards managed Rhino Midland Ltd and Rhino Brickwork Co Ltd behind the back of his company accountant.
That worker was unaware Edwards was disqualified from doing so but Edwards' long term partner, Susan Bates, knew precisely what was happening and turned a blind eye to it.
The hearing was told how the 48-year-old father-of-two racked up debts of more than £400,000 – mostly to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs - which he is still "negotiating" paying back.

Now he has narrowly escaped being sent to straight to jail after admitting a raft of offences.
Handing Edwards a 12-month jail term, suspended for two years, Recorder Kevin Hegarty QC said: "In your case it appears to have been financial mismanagement which led you into this position.
"You understood that but you continued to act in management of these two companies.
"This was sustained and over quite a lengthy period of time and involved you having quite detailed involvement of the finances when you were excluded from doing so.
"Even the company accountant did not know the true status.
"It was reckless behaviour."
Rupert Jones, prosecuting on behalf of the Insolvency Service, said Edwards, of Swadlincote, was first made bankrupt in 2000.
He said three years later the defendant was jailed after admitting causing the death of a girl through dangerous driving.
Mr Jones said after his release, Edwards was made bankrupt again in December 2009 and was disqualified from being a director or "acting in the management" of another company. But after being declared bankrupt a third time in 2013, between then and 2016 Edwards did precisely that for the two building firms, racking up debts of more than £400,000.
Mr Jones said: "There was deceit and dishonesty because of his involvement in the companies.
"This was not a case of his involvement being accidental or borderline.
"It was sustained.
"The Insolvency Service has not confirmed that any of the creditors have been paid off."
Edwards, of Hedge Grove, Midway, pleaded guilty to acting as a director or in management of a company while disqualified.
Bates pleaded guilty to a charge of aiding and abetting him.
Rhys Rosser, mitigating, said the couple have two children both aged in their 20s and if Edwards were sent to prison immediately it would affect the family home and the people he now employs.
He said: "Mr Edwards accepts he should have known he could not have acted as a director.
"He should have read the paperwork and accepts what he did was wrong.
"Negotiations to pay the creditors are ongoing."
As part of the suspended sentence, Recorder Hegarty ordered Edwards to carry out 200 hours unpaid work and to pay £8,000 costs.
He handed Bates, 50, also of Hedge Grove, Midway, Swadlincote, a 12-month conditional discharge.
The hearing was told that despite remaining bankrupt Edwards is now operating as a sole trader.
No further details of his company were revealed in court.

Q: Where did my image go? Background images with flexbox I have an image that's supposed to sit above the columns and below the navigation bar at 100 vh's of height. However, while the space where the image is supposed to be is there, the image itself seems to have disappeared. The URL does point to a site as well so it's not as if it's broken. I'm trying to figure out why my image isn't rendering and what I can do to help it render.
 What's a good way to do this using Flexbox? Is flexbox even the most efficient way?

          "But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"

In the beta draft of its approaching 11th International Classification of Diseases, the World Health Organization includes "gaming ailment" in its listing of intellectual health situations. The WHO defines the sickness as a "persistent or recurrent" behavior pattern of "sufficient severity to bring about large impairment in private, circle of relatives, social, instructional, occupational or different critical regions of functioning."
The ailment is characterised through "impaired control" with increasing priority given to gaming and "escalation," no matter "bad results."
Video sport gambling, either on line or offline, should be "usually evident over a period of at least one year" for this analysis to be made, in step with the beta draft steerage. However, if signs are extreme and all necessities are met, health care specialists may additionally include people who have been playing for shorter durations of time, the draft reads.
Gregory Hartl, a spokesman for the WHO, said the brand new ICD-eleven entry on gaming ailment "includes most effective a clinical description and not prevention and treatment alternatives."
A manual to diagnose and categorize
Hartl described the ICD because the "basis for identity of fitness developments and facts globally and the worldwide popular for reporting illnesses and fitness conditions. It is utilized by clinical practitioners around the world to diagnose situations and through researchers to categorize conditions."
This comprehensive list is supposed to make it simpler for scientists to percentage and evaluate fitness statistics among hospitals, areas and nations. It additionally allows fitness care people to evaluate information in the same area over different time durations. Additionally, public fitness professionals use the ICD to music the variety of deaths and illnesses.
The current model of the ICD became advocated through the World Health Assembly, the choice-making frame of WHO, in May 1990 and currently is utilized by more than a hundred countries around the world. The forthcoming version of the ICD can be posted in May 2018.
"Inclusion of a sickness in ICD is a attention which nations don't forget whilst making choices on provision of fitness care and allocation of sources for prevention, remedy and rehabilitation," Hartl said.

Chris Ferguson, a professor of psychology at Stetson University in Florida whose studies pursuits consist of video games and different media violence effects, described the ICD as "the ebook of real sicknesses that you could get insurance bills for."
"People who've remedy facilities for online game addiction or a gaming disorder will now be able to get reimbursed," stated Ferguson. "In the beyond, they have now not. It will be a financial boon for the ones facilities."
The WHO's ICD lists both mental and bodily disorders. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, or DSM-5 is the most current guide produced by means of the American Psychiatric Association, and includes only mental issues.
According to Ferguson, the DSM has entered "Internet Gaming Disorder" as a proposed class, "which means that it's now not an professional analysis but but they're involved and they want human beings to do research."
But the two courses take a exclusive approach to gaming issues.
Debate approximately problems
Internet gaming disorder is "absolutely distinct" from the gaming ailment proposed through WHO, said Ferguson, and this "displays the confusion."
This distinction in opinion is equal to each of those authoritative books list very distinctive signs for pneumonia, he said. The Psychiatric Association and the WHO "don't like to be too some distance apart" in their descriptions of intellectual disorders, he said.
"Internet gaming sickness," as described by using the Psychiatric Association, has been "very, very heavily criticized," said Ferguson, noting a paper posted ultimate yr within the magazine Addiction that he co-authored with dozens of researchers from round the arena.
The DSM model of gaming sickness is constructed around substance abuse ailment, explained Ferguson. By contrast, the WHO version is built around whether or not gaming interferes with real life activities — for instance, in case your gaming manner you're not doing homework or brushing your teeth — and so it's miles "perhaps a bit bit higher," said Ferguson.
"I don't suppose that the WHO's thought is reflecting a actual consensus in the subject," said Ferguson, pointing to an open access debate among students.
"Some human beings believe it, however lots of us don't," he said.
Among folks that agree is Douglas A. Gentile, a professor of psychology at Iowa State University who believes the inclusion of gaming ailment within the ICD-11 "will generate loads greater discussion approximately what's the pleasant manner to define it" and additionally "what's the high-quality way to deal with it." This could be "a great aspect," he stated.
Gentile has studied gaming sickness seeing that 1999 and "at that time I became trying to reveal that it wasn't a problem," he stated. "And the extra I studied it, the greater it gave the look of some people had a hassle."
"We understand that it does look like it's a real problem for a few humans and it does motive critical dysfunction for some people," stated Gentile. "OK, why? What are the danger factors that purpose some humans to come to be addicted to video video games while a few human beings don't get addicted to it?
Almost all disorders are defined via their dysfunctionality, he defined. When it involves addictions, the DSM doesn't ask how an awful lot you do something, together with ingesting alcohol.
"It's approximately doing it in a way that damages your life," stated Gentile. While some humans can drink maximum of the time and not using a problems, others can drink hardly ever, but accomplish that in a manner that causes a whole lot of damage. They get "to this point out of stability, they want outside help to get lower back into balance."
Ferguson believes that it'd were higher if the WHO had taken extra time and reached out to skeptical students, gamers themselves, a number of the agencies that make video games — all of the invested stakeholders — before formulating their description of gaming disease.
And he questions whether it is honestly a sickness, or symptomatic of every other mental disorder.


INIS consultants are qualified to carry out Appropriate Assessments from screening stage right through to final stages, if deemed necessary. We have completed Appropriate Assessments for projects in freshwater, marine and terrestrial environments throughout Ireland and the UK, for both statutory and private bodies, where proposed developments had the potential to impact on Natura 2000 sites.
The Birds and Habitats Directives set out various procedures and obligations in relation to nature conservation management in Ireland and that of Natura 2000 sites (sites established with the introduction of the Birds Directive in 1979 and the Habitats Directive in 1992) and their habitats and species in particular. A key protection mechanism is the requirement to consider the possible nature conservation implications of any plan or project on the Natura 2000 site network before any decision is made to allow that plan or project to proceed. Not only is every new plan or project captured by this requirement but each plan or project, when being considered for approval at any stage, must take into consideration the possible effects it may have in combination with other plans and projects when going through the process known as Appropriate Assessment. The concept of plan and project is extremely broad and is not limited to development planning and development management, covered by the Planning and Development Acts 2000-2006.
The obligation to undertake appropriate assessment derives from Article 6(3) and 6(4) of the Habitats Directive and both involve a number of steps and tests that need to be applied in sequential order. Article 6(3) is concerned with the strict protection of sites, while Article 6(4) is the procedure for allowing derogation from this strict protection in certain restricted circumstances.

In the 2014 Scottish Independence referendum the question was the most binary possible - 'Should Scotland be an independent country? Yes or No."
The Yes side, fronted by the Scottish National Party lost the referendum of course, 55% to 45%. At the time the SNP had 6 out of the 59 MPs who represent Scottish constituencies at Westminster. The SNP had almost always underperformed in Westminster elections, partly because the first past the post system worked against them, and partly because voters saw sending SNP MPs to London as pointless when the government would certainly be a Labour or Conservative one.
The general election of 2015 turned this completely on its head. 50% of the electorate voted for them, largely reflecting the vote in the referendum - as Alex Massie had written beforehand, "if you voted Yes, why would you vote for anyone other than the SNP". Under a proportional voting system they should have gained some 30 MPs, an astonishing result, but under first past the post the SNP took almost every seat in Scotland, 56 of 59. They didn't need 50% in every constituency to do this, they won some seats with much less because the non-SNP vote was split at least 3 ways amongst the Conservatives, Labour and the Lib Dems.
So the election was an unprecedented near whitewash for a party which had previously been 3rd, with a measly handful of seats.
So here's a thought experiment - could anything similar occur following the EU referendum?
48% of the UK electorate voted to remain in the EU. The country is currently in chaos, the Prime Minister has resigned, the official opposition is falling to pieces, nobody seems to have a plan on the way forward, banks and other businesses are talking about moving out of the UK, the Pound had fallen along with the stock market, the EU is making noises about a 'non-amicable' split and there are reports of a rise in racist incidents.
Those who played big parts in the Leave campaign seem shellshocked at their victory. They're at pains to say nothing's going to change for ages and ages, saying the application to withdraw from the EU is months or years away. There are numerous anecdotes of Leave voters regretting their decision in the face of the upheaval. But the vote has been made and counted, and there's no way back.
But here's an interesting thing. Ignored by almost all news outlets, understandably due to everything else going on, Willie Rennie of the Scottish Lib Dems has said this:
"Last week, before the result, Tim Farron and I agreed that we would pursue re-entry to the European Union if there was a leave vote."
This is potentially astonishing - what can it mean in the current climate? Will they wait until we're out and then campaign for us to join again, a process one would think the EU would take some convincing over, and one which would surely lose the UK's opt-outs and rebate.
Or would the Lib Dems ignore the referendum result and oppose the UK submitting the Article 50 application which would start the process of UK exit?
"What does it matter?", you might ask. The Lib Dems are reduced to a paltry 8 of the 650 MPs at Westminster. Whatever they do is irrelevant.
Well, maybe not.
The Conservative party needs a new leader - David Cameron has said he will not commence the exit process but will leave it to his successor. Many commentators consider it likely that the successor will wish to gain their own mandate. Labour's current meltdown is due in part to MPs trying to ensure that they are an electable force should there be a snap election. November of this year has been mooted.
So, suppose that happens, and suppose that unlike the Conservatives and Labour, the Lib Dems stand on a clear commitment to stay in the EU and ignore the recent referendum result? And suppose that a very large percentage of those 48% who voted to Remain are motivated by the mess the UK is in to support any way of avoiding Brexit? And as with the SNP in Scotland, the non-LibDem vote is split in each constituency between the Conservatives, UKIP and Labour. Could the Lib Dems sweep the country winning a majority?
It seems crazy, but if you'd suggested in 2010 that the SNP would have 56 MPs by 2015 you'd have been given care in the community cover.
So, unlikely as it seems, I present the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Mr Tim Farron.

Food for Thought: Tavern on the Green's Bankruptcy and You
Submitted by Jen Jones on Tue, 12/08/2009 - 4:45pm
Nicholas Cage isn't the only movie star filing for bankruptcy. The owners of Tavern on the Green, arguably America's most famous restaurant, and an esteemed eatery featured in films from Edward Scissorhands, and Ghostbusters to The Out-of-Towners and Wall Street, has recently sought the protection of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York.
As Reuters reported in September, "To thousands of visitors, Tavern on the Green is New York," a 2005 New York Times restaurant review stated. It was also considered one of the most romantic spots in town to become engaged, have a wedding reception or spend an anniversary.
The 75 year-old New York eatery institution filed Chapter 11 after its lease was terminated by the City of New York, who has granted a new 20-year lease at the same location to another restaurant, the owners of Central Park Boathouse. Tavern on the Green continues to operate while in Chapter 11, but may auction off the restaurant's name, which it claims has a value of $19,000,000.
So, why should you care about the fate of a wealthy restaurant?
In this sign of the economic times, when even the most rich and famous are feeling the effects of the declining financial futures, it is important to remember that if you're feeling a financial squeeze you're not alone. And watching the processes businesses like Tavern on the Green must go through when filing bankruptcy could provide valuable lessons of how the bankruptcy process might work for you.
Like a business, bankruptcy isn't the end of you, in fact it's business as usual. While Tavern on the Green may auction its name as it attempts to pay its creditors in full, it continues to operate. Similarly, your bankruptcy proceedings can force creditors to end their collection activities and get you back on your financial feet, operating again as a whole person.
Bankruptcy protection provides temporary relief and "buys time" to reorganize . Chapter 11 allowed Tavern on the Green to not only operate, but leverage their significant brand to make more money. In the same way, bankruptcy buys individuals like you precious time to stockpile savings and reorganize for your next financial moves—unfettered by the actions of creditors.
Bankruptcy promises a fresh financial start as debts are "discharged." As mentioned, when bankruptcy happens, the debtor is released from personal liability for that debt and is no longer legally required to repay it. While Tavern on the Green may change hands, its lucrative name lives on. And just as Tavern on the Green's name will live on beyond bankruptcy, your filing allows you to get back your "good name," providing a much-needed stopping point

Hondo Owls visit Warhorse Stadium Friday night in District 29-4A opener
Hondo and Devine. Two of the most successful football programs in the state of Texas clash Friday night at Warhorse Stadium. Both teams enter the District 29-4A opener with identical 1-4 overall records, but each team begins fresh after coming off an open week to prepare for the race to a district championship.
For the Owls, pre-district competition saw them get blanked by Llano 35-0 before beating Lytle 27-12. Three consecutive losses to Medina Valley 41-14, Marion 35-27, and Gonzales 43-21 followed their sole victory of the season.
Devine opened their season shutting out San Antonio Kennedy 34-0 before dropping their next four contests to Somerset (33-28), Legacy (31-7), Pleasanton (41-26), and Central Catholic (47-34).
While the Warhorses played a more challenging pre-district schedule, that can be thrown out the window when these two teams step onto the field Friday night as both teams are now an identical 0-0.
Devine's stats, while not gaudy have been on the upswing lately as the running game took a bigger priority in the Central Catholic ballgame. The Horses rushed 58 times for 333 yards. Their 1,281 total rushing yards is over 400 yards more than the Owl's 806.
Where Hondo has an edge is in the passing game. Owl quarterback Brandon J. Garcia has completed 35 of 79 attempts for 605 yards and five touchdowns. Devine's Isaiah Oropeza (20-51 for 253, 4 TD) and Brady Hackebeil (3 of 7 for 82, 1TD) have combined for 23 completions on 58 attempts and 5 touchdowns.
Trey Dickens is a dangerous weapon for the Owls when the ball is in the air. He has 11 receptions but has netted 269 yards and three touchdowns. He averages 24 yards per catch. Kaden Lentz is also a favorite target of Garcia's. Lentz has 12 receptions for 102 yards and one touchdown. The remaining receivers have combined for 12 catches for 336 yards but only one touchdown between the seven that have caught passes.
Warhorse wide out Mason Burford has been the primary target for Oropeza. Burford has racked up 154 yards on 10 receptions. Burford also has two touchdowns. Justin Contreras (4-101, 3 TD), Buddy Santos (5-26), Xavier Contreras (1-26), and Brady Hackebeil (1-17) have combined for 11 receptions for 17o yards.
The Horses have implemented a rushing-by-committee approach throughout the first five games. Justin Contreras leads the team with 41 carries for 296 yards and two touchdowns while Oropeza has 44 rushes for 218 yards and five touchdowns. Santos (33-190, 1 TD), Leonard Pompa (39-190, 2 TD), Sergio Martinez (8-127, 1 TD), Hackebeil (27-126), Xavier Contreras (4-109, 1 TD), and Hunter Maxwell (4-37) have all carried the ball for Devine.
Hondo primarily shares the ball with two players. Dickens leads the Owls with 64 carries for 405 yards and four touchdowns. Garcia has rushed 71 times for 301 yards and three touchdowns. Joseph Tapia (18-82) and Carson Winchester (13-32) see limited action with the ball in their hands.
There have been some classic battles over the course of this long rivalry; Friday should show who is a legitimate contender for the 29-4A crown.

Mikhail Lermontov Part I: The Original Hipster
If Russian literature is a history of Pushkin imitators, then Lermontov came first, and he's still the best. Many have tried imitate Pushkin's style, but few went as far to write tragic poems about his hero's death in a duel, and proceed to, years later, perish in a duel himself. People just aren't committed to their writing like that anymore.
Mikhail Lermontov's great novel A Hero of Our Time is required reading for anyone at the tail end of college or just out in the world, and resonates today. The hero is Pechorin, a confident yet sensitive soldier wandering around the Caucasus, explaining to anyone who will listen how bored he is with life. Does this sound like anyone you know?
Upon meeting an older fighter, Maksim Maksimich, Pechorin breaks out into an obviously rehearsed mourning for his own, young life. Nothing brings him pleasure! First he tried the pleasures which money can buy, but they became repulsive to him. Then he tried to read, but there even he was left without a sense of adventure. So he went to the Caucasus mountains, having adventures all over! He was, for the first time in his life, happy. But soon he become bored again. More bored than before! He avoids women to avoid melodrama. Excitement, sadness, nothing gets to this guy, Pechorin. So he's just going to go on, adventuring and travelling and hopefully he'll die on the road to somewhere exotic.
Maksim Maksimich is almost disgusted. It's the first time he's heard someone talk about that kind of boredom at the age of twenty-five! In fact, he's worried that everyone who lives in a big city is like that. He hopes that most 25-year-olds are a little more upbeat.
Later on, reflecting on the dangers of his adventures, Pechorin remarks, "If I die, I'll die. The world is better off without me, and I myself am significantly bored."
In the tongue-in-cheek introduction to A Hero of Our Time, Lermontov claims to want to illustrate not just one man, but the development and vices of a generation. His generation was one of early disaffected youths who could not longer be roused by the great passions of a premodern time. The French Revolution had gone and passed, and romanticism was coming in. Great Ideas weren't enough anymore to stir up a rebellion in the same way. They had led first bloodshed, then Napoleon, and back to a monarchy.
Pechorin is turned off by discourse and adores nature and travel. He wants to be out in the world and his passions are rarely flared up. Even with women. He chases after a Circassian princess mainly because he's not supposed to and doesn't wish to bed or marry her: he intellectualizes his life to the point where he intentionally walks into dangerous situations (like when he joins a duel which he knows is rigged against him) to see if it arouses feeling.
It may be true for all people in their twenties, but there is something familiar about this boredom, indifference and and desperate grabbing for agency in one's life. Generation Ys are at least as much as past generations accused of a melancholic complacency, probably more, and some, like Pechorin, look for adventure in bad behavior just for the heck of it.
What makes A Hero of Our Time so relatable is the deep psychology. Although Pushkin's prose is great to read (Lev Tolstoy said that Pushkin's stories were clean, had nothing extra, but were somehow "naked"), Lermontov brings in a psychology. Pushkin saw the short story as a problem to be solved, but Lermontov saw it as a problem to be explored. Pushkin's Belkin stories come off as sillier and more fairy tale than Lermontov's prose. The self-analysis in A Hero of Our Time not only touches us as relatable so many years later, but was also profoundly influential in the trajectory of Russian, and then world literature, to psychological and inner worlds in novels.
That, and cultural clashing in the Caucasus mountains is still a problem in contemporary times. This week, white power protesters rampaged around Moscow looking for the murderer of Yegor Sherbakov. The murder was blamed on a migrant from the Caucasus (where A Hero of Our Time takes place) and the protesters decided to smash windows and overrun a vegetable warehouse.
As an old author has survived the gamut of revolutions and centuries, and as he approaches a birthday with a round number, we sometimes like to think, "What would Lermontov see today?" Reading A Hero of Our Time now, the reader feels someone with a contemporary outlook. This novel is still for younger readers, and unlike Gogol's work, which gets better as you get older and see more of the world, Lermontov's can begin to seem too Romantic and at times tedious.
But he was young when he wrote. For such a young writer it is quite amazing, and we try not to think, what if Lermontov had lived another twenty years? (But, then, what if Pushkin had lived another 20 years?) We doubt Lermontov got out while he was ahead. His anxieties which he claimed described his young generation seem to describe the current young generation as well. This week he turns 199. That's a long time not to fall out of style, especially for a hipster.
To Be Continued on Monday

I just ordered a RS11 to interface with the NMEA 2000 bus on our boat. I thought about designing my own, but after looking at what NoLand is offering, decided I could better spend the time on other boat tasks. I will post some more info on my owner's thread when I get it installed in a few weeks.
Agreed, I actually build this stuff all the time so I figured it would be really cool and hopefully something others may be interested in to. I just found screen real-estate on a device that supports NEMA was very expensive, NEMA for sure is a great way to go and the NoLand is a great device.
LandVF36 wrote: I too am interested in your project. I put an RS11 in our 73 F36 when I owned her and two Lowarance 520c chartplotters on the flybridge console to get a set of guages with alarms in front of my view vs off to the right hand side where all the mechanical guages were. I monitored voltage, oil pressure, tach, water temp from tapping into the screw terminal blocks of the wiring harness and added Lowarnce fuel flow gauges. I loved the setup, it worked well for me for several years (and is still working for the new owner.
I got interested in Raspberry Pi single board computers and started working a project similar to yours I called "FirstMate", but initially as a way to control the AC system remotely. That project was successful, but I ended up putting in a new AC system and didn't have time to reverse engineer the new controls.
On the Carver I bought this spring, I wanted to expand the NEMA-2000 network to add EGT temps, boost, and a few more temp sensors but I ran out of time. I was having trouble getting enough speed to keep up with the NEMA network form the Raspberry. Then I discovered some pre-built boards to do the conversion and ran out of time prior to my maiden voyage. I ended up putting in a display with alarms and temp and pressure transducers from Maretron.
I'll be following your progress, I want to get back to controller AC and adding additional sensors to the diesels, and other systems on board. I'm sure I'll learn plenty form your experiences.
Sounds really cool, I should find out soon how fast the data comes through her PI. However for my solution there will be more delays as i all the data is written to a time series database and that's where the gui is built form. My goals are similar to yours for automation I will be adding additional relays to control water pumps, lights etc'. and other none critical systems.
Well i think i have figured out the RS11 interface to the rasberry pi.
I will be going to the boat to test it out later today.
Basically I'm streaming the data out of the RS11 via USB to the Pi, Im using Node-red to pick up the data, parse and sort it and then using MQTT to distribute it and finally Node-Red again to put the data into influxDB. This whole process in simulation on my desktop runs very quickly (of course) but i believe i will be able to stream the data to the db almost as fast as its coming out the usb port (near the same speed as the NEMA network).
However in my senario im using Grafana to build the GUI dashboard so inherently the interface refresh will be the slow spot but as i mentioned in the beginning of the thread I'm ok with a second or two delay for my needs but i want to get as near real time as possible.
If everything works today i will see if i can make a video and attach it.
So far with just a single 18" tablet an older 8" tablet on the downstairs helm (or carried around with me anywhere on the boat, i can view any of the helm dashboards) plus the PI's and a single RS11 (i will order a second for the starboard engine as soon as i have this working) I'm am at $900 Candian. To try to do this on a 18" chart plotter of any type i think we would be well over 4k+ and every 18" screen i add will only cost an additional $350-400 (i have been buying them reconditioned), not so with commercial chart plotters.
Some things i have learned this week.
The raspberry PI 3 wireless is quite week (I already knew that but didnt expect it to have such trouble going the short distance between engine compartment and fly helm). I may have to relocated the Engine PI's out side the engine compartment today as Tuesday i was not getting very good performance.
The motion detection on the fly bridge is problematic as it picks up boats and people passing by so i may relocate the camera to the main cabin.
I will likely install an inverter as i add more tablets. the 18" tablets need a wall plugged charger, on battery it lasts about 6-8 hours with the screen on auto but if i crank the brightness im sure its going to drop fast. As yet i dont no have an inverter in the boat but do have a small house bank of two batteries.
Thanks I figured for the ip cameras on the public wifi vpn would be the way to go. I ll check your suggestions what I would have to do, just haven't set a vpn up before or a rasberry. I have 35 yrs in medical equipment electronic repair so your project is right up my alley.

I've had a lot of success (in fact its all i use) with openvpn. Its very easy to setup, very well documented. Most vpn services also can provide you connection packages that you simply down uncompress and run and contain all the cirt configs etc. Also most typical wireless firewalls/routers also support it. I use raspian and open vpn is part of the base station build i'll post here shortly.
I got the RS11 working today along with the other temp sensors. I tried to take a video but got caught with another issue the reflection on the Samsung tablet did not play nice i will have to get an anti glare. Its not so bad when your using it but on my phone taking a pic or video its awful.
I have a attached a screen capture which is about 20 minutes int a start up and various dables with the throttle.
This is with out calibration: that is to say im simply setting the gauge conversion so that it takes 1-12V and converts this to 1-100 and 100-1 for the fuel.
I will have to tweak further but will need to run the boat as each gauge is a scale (other than voltage of course).
Also i solved the wireless performance. I printed new cases for both Engine and the base station PI''s allowing more holes and in the change other realized that the base station PI the wireless antenna had actually broken of the board on one sire (probably got dinged by a screw driver while being screwed down or a poor solder?) any way i switched out the PI and everything is working well now.
This is with a 2 second refresh, i also tried 1sec and things also worked well. I added the RPM for both engines to the temp historic graphs so i can see cause and effect. The RPM for both engines on the historic graph is set to divide by 10.
Both engines were of when i did the screen capture.
Its also important to note that the rudder and throttle positions are not working yet and just pumping out generic random data.
So what you are saying is that you've managed to emulate the data stream that you would capture if I was trying to dock?
But really, excellent effort here. Please do continue to post your work, since after three decades or more, most of the steam gauges are ready for an upgrade. So far so good!
Good stuff here Baggins, on last boat I installed a data bus and some Garmin stuff, great to read things on one display,I love this but don't understand it at all,when I read a paragraph I get dizzy and have to lie down Keep up the good work,looks like a great display, something I would love to do,but never could unless it came in a box with very good instructions.
The data im generating until i install the potentiometers for the rudders and throttles is just random data fed at the same speed as the RS11 and Temp gauges.
One of the challenges I find when maneuvering (docking) in high flow areas is "knowing" the current position of the rudders and also when cruising and trying to balance the thrust of each engine equally (i know there are better ways to do this automatically) but thought it would be cool to know the position of the rudders the throttles (may be a more difficult) would be a nice to have.

There plenty of things that make me dizzy to..
Although my plan is to put the entire build process here. I may (and this is not me trying to sell stuff) offer this as a complete "built" solution as several people at my marina have asked.
As mentioned through im not saying this is a replacement for NEMA networks and high quality chart plotters just something that's quite different and a lot cheaper. Also yesterday i was able to walk up to our mechanic in the shop and hand him my tablet while the engines were running (within wireless range) and him look at the difference between the temp and oil pressure between the port and starboard engine, so its pretty cool.
Thanks for the compliments though its turning out to be a cool project.
I Had a chance to go to the boat and got the RS11 almost completed.
There is a fare amount of fiddling to calibrate the gauges. The Tachs were simple as the PPR was 8 (this is the pulse per revolution) you set in the config tools. I had to use the windows config tool finally to set up the rs11. Once you enter the calibration data you upload the config to the RS11 and then the output is simpler to display. I was doing the division in Node-Red for the RPM but once i used the config utility i simply display what the RS11 sends me.
The voltage gauge is straight forward, and the fuel gauge resulted in pretty accurate readings just setting the ratios of 0-10 volts = 0-100%.
The pressure gauge however is a little harder and i may build a variable voltage supply or hook a potentiometer up to the gauge because the gauge does not move very much when running its difficult to get the scale. for instance at 3.48v its at 60 psi at 3.6 volts is at around 70 but its tough to nail down.
I'll post the results once i figure it out. Unless some one knows it ?
right now im using one RS11 to measure fuel, oil, voltage and RPM for both port and star Eng's how ever once i get the oil pressure sorted i will order a second unit and use one RS11 for Port fuel, Oil Pres, Alternator, RPM, Gals Per hour, Fuel pres (i want to add this sensor) and Temp sender which will leave one possible sensor left which i may do forward bilge water level with a potentiometer and float. The second will then do the starboard engine and rear bilge.
Right now i also connected the RS11 to permanent power but eventually i will go back to my original setup of running each RS11 after the ignition for the respective engine.
A question, are the gauge readings that you see completely linear or is there and small error someplace? I seem to remember with instrumentation that we used ( old tech now) where there was a translation from air pressure to volts, it was not totally linear ( very ,very close though ).
Anyone have anything like this up and running?

City Room | By Plotting Journeys, Providing a Glimpse at Citi Bike Ridership
By Plotting Journeys, Providing a Glimpse at Citi Bike Ridership
By Matt Flegenheimer
March 31, 2014 9:28 am March 31, 2014 9:28 am
Since its introduction last May, the Citi Bike program has attracted 100,000 annual members but far fewer daily subscribers than expected, a combination that has contributed to the system's precarious finances as operators look to expand.
The math is simple: Regular riders strain the system through repeated use, leading to higher costs. A new data visualization project demonstrates this phenomenon, and makes clear the degree to which the bike share system has become interwoven into the city's transit network.
Using system data, the team behind the project — Sarah Kaufman of New York University's Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management, Jeff Ferzoco of linepointpath, and Juan Francisco Saldarriaga — plotted rides as point-to-point journeys, independent of the street grid, for Sept. 17 and 18.
The weather was mild, with highs in the 60s and no rain. Roughly 75,000 total rides were taken on the two days.
Some trends to watch: the bustle near major transit hubs like Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station during the morning rush; the heavy use from annual members in Brooklyn; and tourist rides across the Brooklyn Bridge and throughout Midtown.

Jerry's Options Dwindle; Calbuzz Breakthrough Plan
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011
At this stage of his life, Jerry Brown is at the end of his rope.
Biologically, the matter's pretty much out of his hands. Politically, however, Governor Gandalf is still fighting the good existential fight, laboring day and night in an effort to craft a solution to the state's budget woes.
As a political matter, his biggest problem that needs fixing is this: most of the Republicans in the Legislature can just sit back and laugh at his exertions, getting exactly what they want by doing exactly nothing.
Not surprisingly, Brown is frustrated, exasperated and more than a little pissed off at the GOP members who are, variously, inexperienced, scared of losing their jobs and/or ignorant.
"If you're not going to vote to extend taxes, if you're not going to vote to cut, if you're not going to vote to eliminate redevelopment, so what the hell are you going to do?" Brown said Monday night. "By the way, if you're not going to do anything why do you take a paycheck?"
The boundaries of his dilemma are clear: He promised that he won't raise taxes without a vote of the people; he doesn't want a Democrats-only majority vote to put a tax extension measure on the ballot; he's so far failed to peel off two votes from Republicans in the Assembly and two in the Senate to get a two-thirds vote for a ballot measure. And an all-cuts budget to eliminate the state's $26.6 billion deficit is so draconian, it's not clear Republicans would vote for it, not to mention Democrats.
So when he now vows, as he did Monday night, that a tax vote will happen "one way or another" — "no matter what anybody says across the street" — it's clear he's banking on some mechanism to get a measure on the ballot. But how, and on which ballot, are both unclear.
Brown's approval rating of 48-21% (including 67-10% among Democrats, 45-23% among independents and 25-35% among Republicans) is far better than the Legislature's at 16-70%, according to the Field Poll. But so what?
He can slap up a crappy You Tube behind-the-desk speech and argue "This is a matter of we, the people, taking charge and voting on the most fundamental matters that affect all of our lives." He can go before Labor's 2011 Joint Legislative Conference and cry "I say let California vote!" But he still seems stuck with just five options:
1. Get a 2/3 Vote: Threaten, bribe or cajole two members each of the Assembly and the Senate to agree to place on the June ballot a five-year extension of income and sales taxes and vehicle license fees passed in 2009. This was always Brown's Plan A. But anti-tax forces have vowed to place on a stick the head of any Republican legislator who goes along with this idea, even if they get a spending cap, pension reform and regulatory relief for business in the bargain. "The moment of truth is rapidly approaching," for this option, Brown said the other night.
2. Use the Majority Vote: Democrats in the Legislature have enough votes to place the extensions on the June ballot on their own by arguing that they're part of the existing budget that's in place until June 30. For starters, this might or might not be legally valid; worse, as a partisan measure, it might cause business interests who have expressed support to turn against it, to avoid being in league with the Democrats who will have conceded "only" budget cuts but no action on pensions or regulations.
3. Scramble for a June initiative: Some consultants have said it might still be possible to gather enough signatures for a June measure to extend the taxes, but writing a measure, getting approval, analysis, title and summary, circulating and collecting signatures would have to occur in record time. Most people think it can't be done.
4. Adopt an All-Cuts Budget: Brown might still just throw up his hands and lay out another $14 billion in cuts. See above for why this option sucks.
5. Gather signatures for November: This could be a last-ditch attempt to keep his promise for a vote and avert massive cuts. The problem is that once they get past June, those extensions from the 2009 will have expired and continuing them, even temporarily, can more easily be characterized as tax increases. Polling has found about 55% support for extensions, 52% for temporary taxes and less than 40% support for tax increases.
Not a good choice in the bunch.
Voila! The Calbuzz Outside-the Box-Thinking Plan for Fiscal Integrity, Nuclear Safety and Peace in Our Time.
Here's how it would work: Set things up so that the Democrats approve, with a majority vote, a conditional all-cuts budget that presumes no tax extensions. (We wonder if Republicans would vote for it.) Then gather signatures to place that on the November ballot, with a provision that if the measure fails the cuts will not occur because the 2009 taxes and fees will be re-instated for five years. As a practical matter, cuts can be delayed to occur after November. And costs can be shifted to local government for local responsibilities whether the measure wins or loses.
Then let Grover Norquist, Jon Fleischman, radio heads John and Ken and the rest of their not-our-problem cadre be forced to argue for the budget ballot measure while Democrats and labor argue against it.
In other words, make the "yes" position a vote for cutting programs for widows, orphans, fish and fawn and the "no" position a vote for freedom, justice and common decency on our streets and in our homes. Recall: in the history of ballot propositions in California, "no" beats "yes" 67% of the time.
Such a move would fulfill Brown's promise for a vote on taxes while ripping the mask from the Republicans' phony we're-just-protecting-the-taxpayers stance and forcing them to take public responsibility for the real-life consequences of what their position truly means: a massive reduction in popular public services, starting with K-12 schools and higher ed.
Right now the right-wing has the best of all possible worlds: they cry crocodile tears about government spending without having to lift a finger to take ownership of the painful steps necessary to reduce it enough to balance the budget exclusively with cuts.
Using political jujitsu, however, the Calbuzz Plan flips the framework on the whole debate, and denies irresponsible Republicans their current luxury of indulging in total unaccountability.
Is it legal? We have no idea, but we've paid enough attorney fees to know that it wouldn't be hard to round up a whole stadium full of lawyers willing to argue that it is. If nothing else, that at least will boost employment.
