Florida Department of Revenue v. Piccadilly Cafeterias, Inc.
PETITIONER: Florida Department of Revenue
RESPONDENT: Piccadilly Cafeterias, Inc.
LOCATION: Earthquake Park
DOCKET NO.: 07-312
LOWER COURT: United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
CITATION: 554 US 33 (2008)
GRANTED: Dec 07, 2007
ARGUED: Mar 26, 2008
G. Eric Brunstad, Jr. - on behalf of the Respondent
Petitioner Scott D Makar - on behalf of the Petitioner
In 2003, Piccadilly Cafeterias filed a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy petition in federal court in Florida asking the bankruptcy court for permission to auction off its assets in order to fund a reorganization plan. Piccadilly sought a tax exemption under 11 U.S.C. 1146(c) which states that certain asset transfers "under a [confirmed Chapter 11] plan may not be taxed under any law imposing a stamp tax or similar tax." Florida vehemently opposed this exemption and sought to collect $32,000 in taxes from Piccadilly.
The bankruptcy court, the district court, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit all found in favor of Piccadilly, holding that 11 U.S.C. 1146(c) allowed courts to exempt from taxes pre-confirmation asset sales that were essential to the completion of a reorganization plan. In urging the Court to grant certiorari, Florida pointed to both Third and Fourth Circuit decisions holding that such pre-confirmation asset sales were subject to state taxation, while Piccadilly Cafeterias contended that these so-called "circuit splits" only involve a small handful of cases and require no resolution by the Court.
Does 11 U.S.C. Section 1146(c), a provision of the Bankruptcy Code stating that certain asset transfers "under a [confirmed Chapter 11] plan may not be taxed under any law imposing a stamp tax or similar tax," prohibit states from imposing taxes on pre-confirmation asset sales that are essential to the completion of a reorganization plan?

Justice Thomas has our opinion this morning in case 07-312, Florida Department of Revenue versus Piccadilly Cafeterias.
Clarence Thomas:
This case comes to us on a writ of certiorari to United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
Respondent, Piccadilly Cafeterias declared bankruptcy under Chapter 11, but before Piccadilly submitted its Chapter 11 plan to the bankruptcy court, Piccadilly sought and received court authorization to sell substantially all of its assets, and was granted an exemption from state stamp tax pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 1146(a).
That Section provides a stamp tax exemption for any asset transfer, "Under a plan confirmed under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code."
Piccadilly submitted and received court approval of its Chapter 11 plan but only after the sale of its assets had been taken place.
Petitioner, Florida Department of Revenue objected, arguing that the stamp taxes, it had assessed on certain of Piccadilly's transferred assets fell outside the Section 1146(a) exemption because at the time of the sale, the transfers at issued were not under a plan confirmed.
The District Court upheld the bankruptcy courts grant of the exemption and the Eleventh Circuit affirmed, holding that the Section 1146(a) exemption applies to pre-confirmation transfers necessary to the consummation of a plan that is eventually confirmed under Chapter 11, provided there is some nexus between such transfers and the plan.
In an opinion filed with the clerk today, we reversed the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
The most natural reading of Section 1146(a)'s text, the provisions placement within the Bankruptcy Code and applicable substantive cannons all lead to the same conclusion.
Section 1146(a) affords a stamp tax exemption only to transfers made pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan that has already been confirmed.
First to phrase, under a plan confirmed is most naturally read to mean that the plan must be confirmed at the time assets are sold and transferred under it.
Second, the natural reading is consistent with the provision's placement in a subchapter entitled, "Post-confirmation matters."
Finally, construing Section 1146(a) narrowly to apply only to post-confirmation transfers is compelled by the long standing cannon that courts should narrowly interpret an exemption from state taxation, that Congress has not clearly expressed.
In sum, because Section 1146(a) does not apply to pre-confirmation transfers, Piccadilly may not avoid Florida's stamp taxes by invoking back that provision.
Justice Breyer has filed a dissenting opinion in which Justice Stevens has joined.

UNC, NCCU journalism programs launch community news project in Northeast Central Durham
The journalism programs at UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C. Central University have partnered with Durham civic and church leaders, volunteers and residents to launch the Northeast Central Durham Community VOICE, a community news publication serving Northeast Central Durham (NECD).
Stories are posted online at durhamvoice.org with neighborhood news, information, photos, videos and features provided by NCCU and UNC journalism students and local teens mentored by students and faculty.
Jock Lauterer, senior lecturer and director of the Carolina Community Media Project at the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media, leads the effort as an idea from UNC's Department of City and Regional Planning students looking for ways to revitalize the 300-block area known as "the bull's eye" to Durham police and community development officials for its high incidence of crime.
Lauterer believes that strong community media help strengthen communities by encouraging a vital civic life and a developing a positive sense of place. The VOICE is published bi-weekly online and added a monthly 24-page tabloid print edition in 2010. The Daily Tar Heel, UNC's student newspaper, covered the costs of printing 2,000 copies monthly for the first year of publication. The print edition of the VOICE is distributed at neighborhood schools, churches and businesses.
"We want to empower youth to create a single source for local news for the Northeast Central Durham community," Lauterer said. "And we hope the young people putting out the paper will develop the skills to use their voices effectively in civic discussions while expanding their education and career options."
The VOICE recruited its youth staff primarily through a series of free, on-site photography lessons taught at NECD's Salvation Army Boys' and Girls' Club, Seesaw Studio and the Durham Inner-City Garden.
The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation provided early support with a $25,000 grant for computers, cameras and other equipment for the project. Lauterer is negotiating space for a newsroom in the new Golden Belt complex, and he is exploring partnership opportunities with the new Union Independent School in the NECD neighborhood.

Happy anniversary, The Durham VOICE! Proud of your 10 years of excellence and I look forward to many, many more!

Brave Alaskan woman calmly picks up opossum that terrorized a Brooklyn bar and carries it to the sidewalk
A woman from Alaska is being hailed a hero in Brooklyn after calmly removing an opossum that ran amok in a bar.
The unusual event unfolded last week at Temkin's Bar in Greenpoint, where video shows a crowd of horrified patrons looking on as Anchorage native Sarah Fulton picks up the possum.
Fulton told WNBC-TV that she and a friend were hanging out on the sidewalk outside the bar when they saw a creature dart inside through the open door.
'We just were like, 'Was that a dog? Is that a rat?" recalled Fulton. 'We both looked at each other and were like, 'That was too big to be a rat! It has to be an opossum.
Inside the bar, pandemonium erupted as patrons jumped up from their tables screaming to escape the unexpected vermin.
'I mean everybody just lost their minds, we couldn't believe it was happening,' bartender Rachel Bessemer told the NBC affiliate.
'I grabbed my phone, didn't know who to call, I was like, 'this is not what people do."
Fulton, who grew up in the Alaskan wilds but now lives in New York, took control of the situation, declaring 'hold my phone, I'm from Alaska' — a spur of the moment catchphrase that she is now selling on T-shirts.
'I'm from Alaska and I used to go camping with black bears hanging out at my campsite,' she said.
'I think it was just instinctual, I just like went up to him and I was like, 'hey I know you're afraid' … and I was like 'alright, I think I'm just gonna scruff you and take you out because that would be the least painful for you."
Video shows Fulton picking up the creature by the scruff of its neck and lifting it in front of her as it hisses and claws at the air.
As the other bar patrons look on, shrieking in amazement, she then marches out to the sidewalk carrying the possum and releases it safely.
'They're like 'you're a hero, you're a celebrity.' I'm like, what? No,' Fulton recalled.
'For me, it's just a wild animal. But I have to realize I'm not in Alaska, and that's not something you see everyday.'
Bessemer, the bartender, said that as grateful bargoers bought Fulton round after round to celebrate her, the whole affair 'turned into a party'.

LEGO Batman goes grim dark in gritty LEGO remake of 'The Batman' trailer
November 2, 2020, 12:46 PM ET
By Matthew Jackson
Joebor1777/YouTube
A lot of blockbuster movies are on hold right now, but that hasn't stopped us from enjoying trailers for blockbusters yet to come, and one of the biggest trailers of the summer arrived in the form of The Batman, Matt Reeves' much-anticipated update of the Dark Knight mythos starring Robert Pattinson in the title role. The moody extended teaser arrived at DC FanDome over the summer and, with a little help from Nirvana's "Something in the Way," became one of the most talked-about teasers of the year thanks to its dark tone and compelling visuals.
So, how does that trailer look when it's completely remade in LEGO bricks? Still pretty great, actually. Just, you know ... a bit darker than the LEGO Batman you're used to seeing.
Over the weekend YouTuber JoeBor1777, who's made a habit of producing elaborate LEGO recreations of popular films and TV shows over the last half-dozen years or so, dropped a shot-for-shot remake of The Batman teaser that's both stunning in its accuracy and rather witty in terms of the way it uses bricks to fill in for Reeves' moody aesthetic. Check it out:
A collaboration between more than a dozen different LEGO animators, this trailer has it all: the Warner Bros. logo projected across bricks, LEGO strips of duct tape, a custom LEGO Batmobile, and of course LEGO Batman himself throwing punches. They even managed to get LEGO Robert Pattinson's hair to wave in the breeze. My favorite, part, though: A plastic LEGO Batarang subbing in for the real thing in the title shot at the end.
Like pretty much every other major film production on the planet, The Batman shut down filming earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but enough footage was already in place for Reeves to drop the FanDome teaser that shook the internet. Filming resumed back in September, only to be halted again after Pattinson himself reportedly contracted COVID-19. Production picked up again later that same month, but Warner Bros. ended up delaying the film yet again anyway. After previously landing an October 2021 release date, The Batman is now set to hit theaters March 4, 2022.

The science of picky eaters:
Why do children refuse to eat foods that we find tasty ?
© 2009 - 2013 Gwen Dewar, Ph.D., all rights reserved
The sensory world of picky eaters
Does your child want to live on a diet of sugar and starch? Or refuse to try anything new?
Picky eaters can be frustrating. But their quirks and preferences aren't entirely arbitrary.
Simply stated, your child's taste perceptions may differ from yours. There are several reasons.
Compared to young children, adults are more tolerant of bitter and sour flavors.
Perhaps this reflects a lifetime of learning. Experiments show that kids increase their liking for bitter or sour foods if they first encounter them in combination with something sweet (Capaldi and Privitera 2008). As I note elsewhere, you can take advantage of this phenomenon to broaden your child's diet.
But the point here is that adults have already had many opportunities to develop such acquired tastes. Picky children may be lacking crucial experiences.
Adults might be less sensitive, too.
Bitterness is a signal of potential toxicity, and kids—with their smaller bodies and less-developed capacities for detoxification—are more vulnerable to the effects of toxins.
You might assume that the fruits, vegetables, and spices we eat are safe, but many common plant foods contain natural toxins. Indeed, biologists believe that many of the toxins we find in plant food evolved precisely to deter animals from eating them.
Some toxins make you ill. Others bind to the nutrients in your food, making them indigestible. Either way, toxins can make foods less healthful.
This doesn't mean that all bitter foods are bad for us. Many bitter herbs and "hot" spices have medicinal properties. But it explains why animals--especially those animals that lack specialized systems for detoxifying poisons--might be better off if they avoid bitter foods. It wouldn't surprise me if natural selection has equipped children with an extra-sensitive system for rejecting bitter tastes (Glenndinning 1994).
Young children may be "prewired" to select the most energy-rich foods available.
Ounce for ounce, kids need more food than we do. Not only do kids need more food to grow, they need more food because they are less energy efficient.
It's because of their size. Smaller bodies tend to have more surface area relative to volume, so they lose more body heat. Smaller creatures also tend to have smaller, shorter digestive tracts, making it more difficult to digest food that is high in fiber and/or toxins.
So natural selection has put the squeeze on little guys: They need to focus on foods that deliver a lot of energy with little bulk. That's the trend we see among primates. Little squirrel monkeys go after nature's "fast food," fruit and insects. Large gorillas can afford the extra processing time associated with pithy leaves and stems.
Does this imply that our kids are picky eaters by nature? I'm not sure. But as a behavioral ecologist, I think it's reasonable to wonder if kids have evolved a special attraction for the sweetest and/or most energy-rich foods.
Some people have a genetically-based, heightened sensitivity to bitterness.
We've seen how youth and body size might make kids into picky eaters. But there are other factors, too. Recent research demonstrates that people--even people in the same family--possess different bitterness-detection genotypes.
In one study, Julie Mennella and colleagues presented kids (aged 5 to 10 years) with a series of bitter- and sweet-tasting drinks. The researchers found that the children's preferences were related to their genotypes at the TAS2R38 locus, a region that controls an individual's sensitivity to several similar, bitter-tasting compounds, like PTC (Mennella et al 2005).
The researchers found that kids who possessed at least one copy of the bitter-sensitive allele were more likely to detect bitterness at low concentrations. In addition, these kids reported preferences for sweeter drinks and cereals with higher sugar content. They were also less likely to name milk or water as a favorite beverage.
And here's a particularly interesting bit for us parents:
Kids with the bitter-sensitive genotypes were rated as "more emotional" by their mothers if their mothers possessed only bitter-insensitive alleles.
So some perhaps some of the conflicts between picky eaters and their parents are caused by a genetic mismatch. Parents who can't taste certain bitter compounds have more difficulty relating to the way that their kids react to bitter foods.
Other people may have a genetically-based predisposition to avoid new foods.
A recent twin study examined the possibility that food neophobia—the reluctance to eat new foods—is genetically determined. Researchers found that identical twins were more likely to share neophobic traits than were fraternal twins. Overall, about 2/3 of the variation between individuals was attributable to heredity (Knaapila et al 2007)
Early taste experiences may influence picky eaters.
Research suggests that fetuses can taste the foods that their pregnant mothers eat. Food flavors also get transmitted through breast milk.
These early taste experiences may shape the taste preferences of young children, making kids more likely to enjoy the flavors they previously encountered in the amniotic fluid or breast milk.
Picky eaters are also influenced by social cues, parental feeding tactics, and the ways that new foods are presented.
For instance, one study of over 7800 British kids examined links between the introduction of "lumpy solids" or chewy foods during infancy and subsequent feeding behavior. Compared with babies introduced to lumpy solids between 6-9 months, babies introduced later had less varied diets and more feeding problems by the age of 7 years (Coulthard et al 2009).
Other studies suggest that making toddlers familiar with new foods -- by presenting them with images in picture books -- has a positive effect on food acceptance (Heath et al 2011). And there are many other practical tactics parents can use to get children to eat.
For more information, see these research-based tips on coping with picky eaters.
In addition, check out this discussion about the special dietary needs of young children and their implications for choosing a healthful diet for your family.

Checkoff busts myths about cattle production
By Bryan Salvage
CENTENNIAL, COLO. — Recent articles published in various publications not only include negative information about beef, but some have been misleading readers about the environmental implications of raising cattle, according to the beef checkoff. As a result, the beef checkoff issues-management team continues to work with several researchers in an ongoing effort to better understand the greenhouse gas emissions associated with cattle production.
With the help of the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, the checkoff immediately went to work with university contacts to respond. One resulting letter to the editor was published in the December edition of Southwest Airlines' Spirit magazine and informed readers looking for ways to reduce their personal carbon footprint to look at their energy and fossil-fuel use -- not what they eat.
"As the population increases, we must identify areas where we can have a meaningful impact on reducing our carbon footprint — like fossil-fuel use — rather than vilifying the industries that ensure our population is well-fed and healthy," Jude Capper, Ph.D., assistant professor of dairy sciences, Washington State University, said in her response to two articles appearing in that publication – one being published in October and one in November.
Her response to such articles is one of many examples in the repertoire of responses that the beef checkoff's issues-management team handles through checkoff investment.
"The issues-management program is [unfortunately] becoming more and more important to beef producers as there seems to be an influx of myths that threaten consumer confidence in beef," says Mike Stahly, backgrounder and cow/calf producer from Cavour, S.D., and chair of the issues-management subcommittee. "This program is designed to protect the image of beef and strengthen the reputation of the entire industry and its producers. It's vitally important that our checkoff is on the front lines for us while we're dealing with business at home on our farms and ranches."
He added the checkoff gives producers a number of outlets to express their viewpoints and allows them to have a voice in the debate and get involved through checkoff-funded programs and in collaboration with state beef councils. Whether more comfortable responding to a blog, writing a letter to the editor, giving a presentation or something else of the like, there's an avenue for every producer to help secure the future of their industry and tell their own story, he continued If not, someone is likely to tell it for you and you might not like what they say, he concluded.

Q: Preg_replace multiple bbcodes correctly Currenlty I'm creating a bbCodes function to replace all bbCodes by their corresponding HTML codes within a text. My code works like this atm:
public function bbCodes($text) {

    global $bb_codes;

    $text = preg_replace(array_keys($bb_codes), array_values($bb_codes), $text);

    return $text;

}

where $bb_codes looks like this:
$bb_codes = array(
            "/\[b\](.*)\[\/b\]/is" => "$1",
            "/\[u\](.*)\[\/u\]/" => "$1",
            "/\[i\](.*)\[\/u\]/" => "$1",
            "/\[d\](.*)\[\/d\]/" => "$1",
            "/\[url=(.*)\](.*)\[\/url\]/" => "$2"
              );

It's working when each bbcode is only used once, e.g.:
[b]this text is bold[/b]
[i]this text is italic[/i]
etc..

But as soon as I use one bbcode tag multiple times it gets messed up:
   [b]this text is bold[/b]
   [i]this text is italic[/i]
   [b]this text is bold too[/b]

It will see the first [b] tag and look for another [/b] tag but it takes the last one instead of the first one it encounters (in the above example all the text will be bold and the first [b] and last [/b] will be replaced only). Does anyone know what I've done wrong and how I can fix this?
Thanks in advanced!
Cheers.

A: You need to use non greedy wildcard, instead of all the .* write .*?.

A: Why you're not using BBCode Parser ?
Look at NBBC Parser.
To install it just put it into usefull folder on your server and connect it like it written in link I've provided later : )
<?php
    require_once("nbbc.php");
    $bbcode = new BBCode;
    print $bbcode->Parse("[i]Hello, World![/i]  This is the magic of [b]BBCode[/b]!");
?>

Eternals Annual #1
by Timothy Callahan
in Comics, Comic Book Reviews
Letters by
In the midst of the Knauf's slow-moving domestic god epic (or whatever the opposite of epic is supposed to be), we get this: a one-shot story of the Eternals written by rising star Fred Van Lente. Van Lente can write circles around the Knaufs, and in this issue he tells the story of Eternals vs. Young Gods, as the island nation of Madripoor suffers under the yolk of transcendent human hubris. In other words, it's a more appropriate kind of story for these cosmic Jack Kirby creations than the kinds of "plots" we've seen in the current ongoing "Eternals" series (which, from what I recall, seem to center around which nearly omnipotent being is babysitting what child, and the methodical revelations about which Eternals are waking up).
Van Lente certainly brings the Eternals into their element here, and draws upon a possibly-better-forgotten bit of Marvel continuity to do it. The central conflict in this issue is based around the return of the Young Gods -- a group of humans who were elevated to godhood by the Celestials in a Bronze Age issue of "Thor." As far as I know, the Young Gods haven't done all that much since, but here they are in "Eternals Annual" #1, returning to Earth in an attempt to generate the birth of a new Celestial. The ins-and-outs of their plan don't matter so much, but their attitude, and their lack of regard for humanity, really gets the goat of the Eternals, who work together to put a halt to the plan.
Van Lente, aided by artist Pascal Alixe, provides more plot and characterization in his single story here than we've seen in the entire Neil Gaiman mini-series and the half-dozen ongoing "Eternals" issue thus far. Van Lente uses captions to quickly establish who's who and the essence of their character (no small feat when you're dealing with a large cast like this), and then demonstrates the shifting alliances between the Eternals throughout their combat with the Young Gods.
But here's the problem: even with Van Lente doing all of that, the story still isn't very good. Thematically, it's fine, and it explores the nature of transcendence and emphasizes the relationship between humanity and its notion of the gods. But while Van Lente brings a sufficient amount of Kirby cosmic, he also interjects far too much cornball humor. Thena, a goddess, worries about getting back to help her son with "his fractions." A magical duel becomes a three-dimensional rock-paper-scissors match, for example, culminating in a giant foot descending from the heavens, because one of the characters hung out with Terry Gilliam one time (that's actually explicitly stated in the dialogue.) And there's more jokes and gags like that throughout the issue. None of them help the story at all, and the tonal shifts between slapstick and groan-inducing humor and cosmic fisticuffs and transcendent ideals is jarring at best. As an attempt to humanize the Eternals, or to make them more "relatable," it fails, because it turns them into just another jokey superteam.
And Alixe's art is a vast step down from the work of Daniel Acuna on the main title.
This issue is also padded with back-up material, like a hideously drawn series of "fact pages" about the Young Gods, presumably penciled by Mark Bagley back in the 1990s. And we get an entire Jack Kirby "Eternals" story too, from issue #7 of his original series. But Kirby's "Eternals" doesn't work particularly well in single-issue format, and all #7 does is give us plenty of powerful art to look at which just helps to emphasize how poor Alixe's art looks in comparison.
Even with the flaws in Van Lente's script, I'd like to see him tackle the ongoing "Eternals" series. He would be a great match for the dream-like wonder of Acuna's artwork. As long as he can cut down on the painful gags and one-liners.
IDW's Star Wars Adventures to Bridge the Gap Between Episodes VIII & IX


On a very blustery day 12 riders set off at 7am from Moka House coffee shop in Cook Street Village. The hills of the first 50k of the ride and the wind were the major concerns of all riders. The ride along Metchosin Road was a challege due to down trees and branches. The ride along Esquimalt Lagoon Road was more suitable for surfing than riding. The sea was a picture of white caps being generated by the very high wind. The wind was so strong, riders were worried they would be blown off their bike. One rider reported he looked forward to the ride up the hill out from the Lagoon as he would be protected from the wind. The wind was a factor all afternoon and to add to the weather problems riders encountered heavy rain on their trip around Land's End.
Almost perfect. Sunny skies all day, with some cloud late in the ride. It was a little cool to start, riders reporting 1 deg in Shawnigan, but then reporting 24 deg on the climb from Mesachie Lake. However, the breeze was cool, and even helped push up the hill towards Port Renfrew.

On the Border Taps Barkley as Agency of Record
National Campaign for Mexican Food Chain Expected This Summer
By Maureen Morrison and [email protected] . Published on February 15, 2011.
CHICAGO (AdAge.com) -- Independent agency Barkley was named agency of record for casual-dining restaurant On the Border Mexican Grill & Cantina after a review. Other agencies in the hunt included Minneapolis-based Olson and independent agency FKM. Energy BBDO, Chicago, previously handled On the Border's creative duties on a project basis, but opted not to participate.
Barkley's duties will include brand strategy, national creative, media strategy, digital marketing, in-store merchandising and menu design. A national campaign for On the Border is expected to launch this summer.
The win comes on the heels of Barkley's recent agency-of-record win -- without a review -- for Krispy Kreme as well as the loss of most of its Sonic business. Barkley and Sonic in October mainly ended their 17-year relationship after Sonic launched a review of its $100 million creative and media account. Barkley, which declined to participate, ended up retaining a few portions of the business, mostly assignments in PR and a national cause-branding campaign.
"We have been in a thorough search for a true strategic-business partner," Steve Clark, CEO of On the Border, said in a statement. "Throughout the pitch, Barkley demonstrated a clear understanding of the restaurant business and a passion for the On the Border brand and its potential. We have challenged them to meet our growing business and marketing goals and have no doubt they are up to the task."
On the Border spent $3.9 million for the first 11 months of 2010, according to Kantar Media. Brinker International, parent company of Chili's and Maggiano's Little Italy, in July 2010 sold On the Border to OTB Acquisition, an affiliate of San Francisco-based private-equity firm Golden Gate Capital. On the Border has 160 franchised and corporately-owned restaurants in the U.S. and internationally.

Tax Lien Investing - Why bid a premium?
ForumsArrowTax Liens, Notes, Paper, & Cash Flows DiscussionArrowTax Lien Investing - Why bid a premium?
I participated in an online auction recently for tax liens. This was my first time doing this so I played things as safe as possible (bidding only the max possible of 18%, in nice areas of the town on properties that were not in foreclosure or pre-foreclosure). I was only bidding on liens that were $350 and under. Unfortunately, I did not win any of the liens, and when I saw the winning bid, all of them were premiums (ranging from $300 on a $130 lien to $1,100 on a $350 lien). I was wondering what the benefit of bidding a premium is since the property owner does not have to reimburse the premium of the lien.
Looks like the bidder who pays a premium is doing so because they are happy with a lower return than 18%. So if you are owed $23.4 on a $130 lien (18%), and someone pays $300 for it, then they are happy with an 8% return (23.4/300).
It probably depends most on the location where you are purchasing the liens. What state are you buying? Every state and sometimes the counties within the state have slightly different rules for property tax liens/deeds. I know massive surpluses are common in my home State of Indiana. Most any property that is decent and especially ones that are move in ready really draw a lot of interest.
@Abel T. If an investor buys at a premium, does the interest get deferred to year 2, and if so at what percentage? Also, if the property owner pays right away, wouldn't the investor technically lose money since there is no interest being paid?
It really depends on the state and the goals of the investor. You mentioned this was a Lien auction so I assume a number of the bidders were looking for decent returns. As @Abel T. mentioned, an overbid might be because these investors are willing to accept less than the maximum interest. Another strategy is to bid on liens that are less likely to be redeemed which MAY result in the investor having a path to owning the property. In that case, the bid may not even consider the interest and only be focused on the property value.
@Roy Oliphant thanks for the response! I wasn't buying in hopes that I could foreclose on the property, just looking to make a little profit starting out. How is the interest percentage determined if you are bidding a premium (the auction started at 18% and gets bid down to 0% and once it reaches 0, then investors started bidding the premium) so how does interest rate get determined in that situation?
It really depends on the jurisdiction and how they handle it. For example, some states have a multi-year redemption period. If your premium goes below 0, there may be a chance that the second year will provide some return and you could calculate that over the two years for an actual rate.
BTW: even if you are only bidding for interest, you need to plan an exit strategy that includes what happens if the property does not get redeemed. For example, I would not generally take a lien on a old chemical storage site. It might not get redeemed and then you could wind up on the title and responsible for an EPA mandated clean up. ALWAYS know what you are bidding on and what your strategies are.
If you haven't yet, listen to podcast 56 with Ankit Duggal. Great podcast on tax lien investing in New Jersey. There are some good books too, Profit by investing in real estate tax liens by Larry Loftis, and The complete guide to investing in real estate tax liens & deeds by Alan Northcott.
From what I have read, if the Interest is bid down to zero and you pay a premium, then you get 0% interest in the first year, but you can choose to pay off subsequent taxes at the full interest amount. There is also a penalty ranging from 2-6 % depending on the amount of the lien certificate in some municipalities. I am curious if the premium bid is ever recovered once the lien, interest and penalties are paid.
@Chris Laino I can't speak specifically to NJ liens, however premiums are usually designed to be a benefit to the property owner or a benefit to the local municipality. I suspect while the property owner does not reimburse you for the premium that it is returned by the county upon redemption. My guess is the county simply holds it in escrow until the property redeems. This is how it works in MD.
In MD the "High bid premium" was designed to stop people from grossly overbidding then keeping the property in tax foreclosure limbo until they got paid.
As @Roy Oliphant said laws vary tremendously by state. The reason for the premium varies by state also. The reason some are bidding a very high premium could be greater knowledge or could be stupidity.
Sometimes someone may have specific knowledge about the property that demonstrates the property is more valuable. On the other hand someone could be bidding ignorant of the rules and how they affect the return. In MD the bid premium and how it affects the overall return is very complicated. We see a regular pattern and big national bidders come in for a couple of years then realize they aren't making the returns they expected. they leave never to be seen again.
@Chris Laino where are you bidding on the Liens for NJ? Somewhere online?
@Joseph Suarez I literally just listened to podcast 56 yesterday (56 down, hundreds to go!) and it was awesome. Especially because I live in NJ!


(2) Consolidation of cases appears proper, and such consolidation would result in a claim exceeding the jurisdictional limit of the division.
In a suit by landlords against their tenants for rent and possession, the case had to be certified for assignment to the presiding judge pursuant to Mo. Rev. Stat. § 517.081; the landlords filed their suit in the associate circuit judge division, the tenants filed a counterclaim for an amount that exceeded the jurisdictional amount of that division, and the judicial circuit in which the case was filed had no rule providing for a different procedure.

Today's Stichomancy for Antonio Banderas
The first excerpt represents the element of Air. It speaks of mental influences and the process of thought, and is drawn from Z. Marcas by Honore de Balzac:
loaded with thought; it was weighted with grief of mind, but there was no touch of remorse in his expression. As to his face, it may be summed up in a word. A common superstition has it that every human countenance resembles some animal. The animal for Marcas was the lion. His hair was like a mane, his nose was sort and flat; broad and dented at the tip like a lion's; his brow, like a lion's, was strongly marked with a deep median furrow, dividing two powerful bosses. His high, hairy cheek-bones, all the more prominent because his cheeks were so thin, his enormous mouth and hollow jaws, were accentuated by lines of tawny shadows. This almost terrible countenance seemed illuminated by two lamps--two eyes, black indeed, but infinitely sweet, calm and
The second excerpt represents the element of Fire. It speaks of emotional influences and base passions, and is drawn from Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery:
girl in that instance."
"Well, we're not getting a girl," said Marilla, as if poisoning wells were a purely feminine accomplishment and not to be dreaded in the case of a boy. "I'd never dream of taking a girl to bring up. I wonder at Mrs. Alexander Spencer for doing it. But there, SHE wouldn't shrink from adopting a whole orphan asylum if she took it into her head."
Mrs. Rachel would have liked to stay until Matthew came home with his imported orphan. But reflecting that it would be a good two hours at least before his arrival she concluded to go up the road to Robert Bell's and tell the news. It would
The third excerpt represents the element of Water. It speaks of pure spiritual influences and feelings of love, and is drawn from Elizabeth and her German Garden by Marie Annette Beauchamp:
Next autumn I shall make a great bank of them in front of a belt of fir trees in rather a gloomy nook. My tea-roses are covered with buds which will not open for at least another week, so I conclude this is not the sort of climate where they will flower from the very beginning of June to November, as they are said to do.
July 11th.--There has been no rain since the day before Whitsunday, five weeks ago, which partly, but not entirely, accounts for the disappointment my beds have been. The dejected gardener went mad soon after Whitsuntide, and had to be sent to an asylum. He took to going about with a spade in one hand and a revolver in the other,
Elizabeth and her German Garden The fourth excerpt represents the element of Earth. It speaks of physical influences and the impact of the unseen on the visible world, and is drawn from Z. Marcas by Honore de Balzac:
have heard of Negro determination, and all that Cooper tells us of the tenacity and coolness of the Redskins under defeat. Morey, the Guatimozin of the "Mountain," preserved an attitude unparalleled in the annals of European justice.
This is what Marcas told us during the small hours, sandwiching his discourse with slices of bread spread with cheese and washed down with wine. All the tobacco was burned out. Now and then the hackney coaches clattering across the Place de l'Odeon, or the omnibuses toiling past, sent up their dull rumbling, as if to remind us that Paris was still close to us.
His family lived at Vitre; his father and mother had fifteen hundred

can it be LONG skirt?
"Long skirt" = "Długa spódnica".
I don't think they are synonyms (at least in Polish). I guess that "duża spódnica" refers to the size (waist/hips) - depending on your body type and how slim you are you could need a big or small skirt (even if you were interested in a skirt of a fixed length, say ankle length).
I have seen spódniczka used as a word for skirt. Wicktionary says it's diminutive, so is spódniczka a short/small skirt?
I guess just big size.

Did you know that you probably are already an investor? If you have a savings account you basically are one and have an investment in your name. An investment, in its basic form, is any asset into which funds can be placed with the expectation that it will generate positive income and/or increase its value. A collection of different investments is called a portfolio. When you start to invest in more than one investment you create a portfolio.
In the investing world there are rewards, or otherwise known as returns. These returns come in two basic forms: income and increased value.
For example, money that is invested in a savings account provides income in the form of periodic interest payments. A share of common stock may also provide income (in the form of dividends). Investors mainly buy stock because they expect its price to rise. That is, common stock offers both income and the chance of an increased value.


There is something about baking from scratch that is so fulfilling for me … even more so now that I am a mom. If I can find a window of time in my day to bake something delicious & somewhat nutritious for my girls, I feel I have accomplished something. Dealing with the dishes afterwards, well that's a different story.
Baking is a science as much as an art and for me, part of the baking satisfaction comes with finding a recipe and tweaking it (usually by halving the sugar and subbing whole wheat for white flour etc.) 'til we love it and it becomes a staple in our home.
This summer my girls and I took a trip to see my parents and spend some quality time with them by the sea. When we arrived, I saw my mom had put aside some ingredients looking much like this.
"Banana bread?? I said to my mom. "But you and I don't like banana bread … didn't you used to say you were "allergic to bananas" as a kid because you disliked them so much?
"Yes, but this one is different!" And, it was! I was amazed at how easy this recipe was to prepare and how delicious it is! I didn't for a second miss the gluten and the banana flavor is really mild.
Whisk together grapeseed oil, agave nectar, eggs and vanilla extract.
Stir the wet ingredients into the almond flour mixture until thoroughly combined.
Fold in the chocolate and bananas and scoop batter into the prepared pan(s).
Bake for 35-45 mins (less if using 2 pans) and do the toothpick test.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 1 hour, then devour in delight!

Q: SSAS: Number of occurences based on the measure value I have a SSAS multidimensionnal project for a cube that contains data about vehicule speeds and accelerations.
My fact table ([trucks].[FactSpeed]) has the following columns

*

*DateKey (Date Dimension)

*MachineKey  (Machine Dimension)

*OperatorKey (Operator Dimension)

*Timetag (Date and Time of the reading)

*Speed (Speedometer reading)

*Acceleration (Accelerometer reading)

*Other measures

I managed to calculate the number of speed occurences above 100 km/h by using a Speed dimension which have values between 0 km/h and 255 km/h
 SELECT NON EMPTY{
[Measures].[Speed Occurence],
[Measures].[Speed Distance Kilometers],
[Measures].[Speed Duration Hours]} ON COLUMNS
FROM [Truck]
WHERE ( [Date].[Day].&[2017-07-11T00:00:00],
[Machines].[MachineKey].&[52],
[Operators].[OperatorKey].&[124],
[Speed].[Speed Key].&[100] : null)

I am not sure if this is the best technique to do this. Im trying to do the same thing with the acceleration measure. Unfortunatly, the reading is a real datatype and I have over 24 000 different values for the acceleration.
My question is: Is it possible to calculate the number of acceleration occurences above a threshold by using a MDX query that will return the same result as the query below?:
select count(*) from [trucks].[FactSpeed] where datekey >= '2017-07-11' and datekey < '2017-07-12' and machinekey = 52 and  operatorkey = 124 and acceleration >= 1

Don't worry about a grocery delivery slot, Instacart will pair you with a real-time shopper
Instacart is adding new features Wednesday to speed up its delivery service after struggling to keep up with higher demand.
For weeks, customers in many markets had a hard time finding a delivery slot as the coronavirus crisis drove more people to stay indoors and order essentials via Instacart. On Wednesday, the company added two new features aimed at making service faster and more convenient for those under stay-at-home orders.
Instacart is adding a "Fast & Flexible" option that matches customers with shoppers more quickly, and it's rolling out an "Order Ahead" tool that lets you set when you'd like to receive longer-term dropoffs.
Walmart:Big box retailer ramps up cleaning efforts after 2 employees die from coronavirus
'Fast & Flexible'
One of the new features pairs app users with available shoppers in real time to cut down on the time it takes to receive an order. The tool will give customers the option to have an order delivered by the first available shopper, rather than have deliveries pegged to a specific window of time.
Customers will see an estimated delivery range, such as Monday through Wednesday, and they'll get a notification when the order was picked up by a shopper and is on the way.
'Order Ahead'
After testing out Order Ahead in select markets, Instacart will let all U.S. customers place orders up to two weeks in advance in the coming weeks.
Typically, users could choose delivery windows only up to one week ahead.
The move is meant to enable people to restock their pantry and purchase recurring essentials well in advance of when they'll need them.
Instacart, a delivery service that partners with more than 25,000 stores in North America, has said orders have surged 150% in recent weeks.
"The customer demand we expected over the next two to four years has happened on the Instacart platform in the last two to four weeks," said Apoorva Mehta, CEO of Instacart, in a statement.
The company has hired over 150,000 "active shoppers" over the past two weeks to meet increasing demand – continuing its plans to add 300,000 additional workers.

Series Preview: Phillies at Blue Jays, 7/1-7/3
Before Roy Halladay makes his return to the Rogers Centre mound, the Phillies (51-31) will send right-hander Kyle Kendrick out to take on the Toronto Blue Jays (40-42) on Canada Day. The Phillies' strength all season long has been their pitching, but the club with the best record in baseball is relying on substitute hurler Kendrick to fill the gap left by injured starter Roy Oswalt.
Toronto will counter with their most consistent starting pitcher, Ricky Romero, who is fresh off a complete game shutout of the Cardinals, in the opener of the 3-game series.
Other key Phillies injuries that could play a role in this inter-league series are to the back end of their bullpen, as the team has been forced to try a fourth closer this season, with Antonio Bastardo filling the vacancy left by Brad Lidge, Jose Contreras and Ryan Madson, who are all on the shelf with injuries.
Read ahead for in-depth info on the pitching match ups and other details on this series.
Friday, 1:05PM. Kyle Kendrick (4-4, 3.23 ERA) vs. Ricky Romero (7-7, 2.74 ERA). In 9 road games this season, Kendrick is 2-1 with a 3.54 ERA.

The left-handed Romero has a 1-0 record, a 1.93 ERA and a .163 batting average against in 2 career starts against the Phillies. Chase Utley is 3-for-5 in his career against Romero.
Saturday, 1:07PM. Roy Halladay (10-3, 2.40 ERA) vs. Carlos Villanueva (5-1, 3.15 ERA). In his only previous start against his former team, Halladay threw 7 scoreless innings in Philadelphia. In his last 5 starts, Halladay has posted a 3-0 record and a 2.00 ERA. In 153 career stars at Rogers Centre, Halladay is 83-34 with a 3.23 ERA. Villanueva has a 1.26 ERA in 11 career appearances against the Phillies. In 9 home outings this year, Villanueva has a 1-0 record and a 4.13 ERA.
Sunday, 1:07PM. Cliff Lee (9-5, 2.66 ERA) vs. Jo-Jo Reyes (3-7, 4.77 ERA). In 7 road starts this season, Lee has a 2-4 record with a 4.30 ERA. Lee has a 5-0 record and a 0.21 ERA over his last 5 starts. In 5 career starts at Rogers Centre, Lee is 2-3 with a 3.81 ERA. Rajai Davis is 4-for-8 (.500 avg) in his career against Lee.

WWE presents Fastlane on Sunday.
It's the last pay-per-view before Wrestlemania.
Speaking of which, and as I expected, it looks like Rousey-Angle vs. Triple H-Stephanie will main event WrestleMania over Lesnar-Reigns.
Why you ask? Lesnar is likely leaving WWE, again, and WWE wants fans to side with Reigns.
The danger, though, is Reigns' status for Mania if the steroid ring story develops further.
Strowman is the backup plan for Lesnar, which is smart.
Thus, Lesnar-Reigns is not the main event and WWE is going the safe route with Rousey.
Elsewhere, Cena still officially needs a WrestleMania match.
REACT: Can't see Cena breaking Ric Flair's world-title mark anywhere but at WrestleMania. On that note, the only likely winner here is … PICK: Styles.
REACT: WWE has done well with Roode, but Orton has been relatively quiet and hasn't had this title in 16 years. PICK: Orton.
REACT: Two of the best teams, who might meet at WrestleMania. So does it matter who wins? PICK: The New Day.
REACT: No way Flair loses this one. Lock pick. PICK: Charlotte.
REACT: Match was made just a few days ago. And Nakamura is coming off his Royal Rumble win. Sorry, Rusev Day. PICK: Nakmaura.
REACT: Did Carmella ever officially cash in? Do you care? Faces in this one. PICK: Becky/Naomi.
2/20 Smackdown: Ziggler impressed in loss vs. Owens. Title picture busy with Mahal, Roode and Orton. Riott Squad heel win was smart. Zayn teasing lay-down for Owens is silly. Big E and Gable had good interaction. Bludgeon Brothers need opponents. Styles-Corbin was ok.
2/27 Smackdown: Cena making matches. Corbin over Zayn was good. Ruby's win over Naomi was too easy. USA plug was funny. Usos have 9 years with no WrestleMania match? 16 years for Orton without the U.S. title? Nakamura-English was decent. Cena-Styles delivered very nicely.
3/5 Raw: Rousey push is on. Main event at Mania? Asuka-Nia was very good. Bar over Revival was decent. Cena teasing everything, then beats Goldust. Hillbilly Jim is a great HOF pick. Bayley over Mandy made sense. Braun over Elias was great comedy. Greatest Royal Rumble ever in Saudi Arabia sounds awesome with 50 wrestlers. Mizzies always entertain. Rollins/Balor over Miztourage was too easy. Lesnar title claim win has to continue.
3/6 Smackdown: Mahal beating Orton was wise. Becky beating Carmella made sense (looks like Carmella's cash-in is worthless). Sami Zayn needed the win on the go-home show.

World Iran Says U.S. Push to Extend Tehran's Arms Embargo Is 'Illegitimate'
Iran Says U.S. Push to Extend Tehran's Arms Embargo Is 'Illegitimate'

Iran dismissed as "illegitimate" efforts by the United States to extend the U.N. Security Council arms embargo on Tehran, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday.
"Iran is not seeking to exit the 2015 nuclear deal with six powers … America's move is illegitimate and our reaction will be proportionate," Abbas Mousavi said in a weekly news conference.
The United States said on Thursday it was "hopeful" the U.N. Security Council would extend the arms embargo on Iran before it expires in October.
President Donald Trump's administration has been taking a harder line with the United Nations over its desire to extend and strengthen the embargo on Iran.
Washington has threatened to trigger a return of all U.N. sanctions on Iran as leverage to get backing from the 15-member Security Council on extending the U.N. arms embargo on Tehran.
"The United States is not a member of the nuclear deal anymore … Iran's reaction to America's illegal measures will be firm," Mousavi said.
Trump withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed sanctions on Tehran that have crippled its economy.
Under the deal, Iran agreed to halt its sensitive nuclear work in exchange for sanctions relief.
Iran, which denies its nuclear program is aimed at building a bomb, has gradually rolled back its commitments under the accord since the United States quit. It argues that Washington's actions justify such a course.
