Addison Wesley, 2003 - Business & Economics - 696 pages
The intuitive approach of Introduction to Econometrics uses interesting applications to motivate theory and theory to match the applications. Students come away with a thorough understanding of econometrics and of the relationships on which people, businesses, and governments base their decisions. Theory is closely matched to the applications--illuminating the vitality and relevance of econometrics, and the choice of topics--including an introduction to program evaluation; panel data methods; instrumental variables regression; and regression with time series data--reflects the best of contemporary applied econometrics. This text is designed for the Introductory Econometrics course. The goal of Introduction to Econometrics is to provide the most modern treatment of econometrics available, using theory and applications that match real-world theory and data.

A modern-day George Headley, Chanderpaul has the classic stats of a great batsman in a struggling team, i.e. a high innings worth average, but a low percentage of significant innings per match. At age 38, he is still in his peak period, and it would be nice to see him contributing to some West Indian wins in the next year or so as the team itself seems to be much stronger and more unified than in recent years.

text: Legacy Health Nationally Recognized for Cancer Program Portland, Ore. - The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons has granted its Outstanding Achievement Award to Legacy Health as a result of surveys performed during 2010. Legacy Cancer Services is the only program in Oregon to win the award. Established in 2004, the CoC Outstanding Achievement Award (OAA) is designed to recognize cancer programs that strive for excellence in providing quality care to cancer patients. The award is granted to facilities that demonstrate a Commendation level of compliance with seven standards that represent six areas of cancer program activity: Cancer committee leadership Cancer data management Clinical management Research Community outreach Quality improvement The level of compliance with the seven standards is determined during an on-site evaluation by a physician surveyor. In addition, facilities must receive a compliance rating for the remaining 29 cancer program standards. "The surveyors commented on the excellent quality care Legacy provides for our cancer patients," said Pamela Kilmurray, director of Legacy Cancer Services. "They were complimentary about our quality outcomes our physicians, staff as well as our facilities and the comprehensive spectrum of care we provide throughout Legacy Health." Ninety programs in the United States, including Legacy Cancer Services, received the OAA as a result of surveys performed in 2010. This number represents approximately 17 percent of programs surveyed during this period. Background on Legacy Cancer Services Legacy Cancer Services offers a full spectrum of state-of-the-art outpatient and inpatient treatment options for adults and children and the resources to help patients through all stages of illness, including support services and palliative care. As a non-profit, community-based organization, Legacy is committed to offering all services and return revenue to the community in the form of new technology, more services, educational programs and support services.

Horrible decision, a standard isn't being honored "EVERYWHERE" so you decide to undermine it entirely without replacement? What's the REAL reason, money?
Sell your assets and gtfo!
Horrible decision, a standard isn't being honored ANYWHERE so you decide to undermine it entirely without replacement?
The simple fact is that Do-Not-Track was a damned bogus idea from the outset. Saying to the massive web of advertising conglamorates and third parties -- all of which make more money the more they can identify you down to an individual -- "Won't you kindly not track me? That would just be great, thanks" is akin to asking the mob nicely not to burn your place down when you refuse to pay protection money, or calling up the NSA and asking them nicely to stop spying on your personal affairs.
If you don't want to be tracked, you need to take steps to make it happen yourself. The tools are there -- use them. If enough people start blocking all forms of advertising, perhaps the intrusiveness and privacy violation will recede. Or maybe the entire advertising industry will collapse (one can always dream).
Part of the problem is what I believe to be a flawed business model for marketers. They feel that they need to somehow "steal" people's information and use it to "force" adds on them. The phrase "targeted" adds suggests a hostile approach. My impression is that most people want to see informative adds for products that they might buy. If it were easy for customers to craft their on online profiles so that they would see adds of interest to them, advertisers would be able to directly provide relevant information.
Right now I'm not in the market for a car - all the adds in the world won't do any good. In a few years when I am ready to buy, I will want to see information on the types of cars that I might consider buying. The way things are set up now, immediately after I buy a car I will be flooded with car adds - despite the fact that a recent purchases is the least likely to buy again.
I don't think the tools are well known. For instance I didn't know I could get at my google info.
A more serious problem is the lack of trust. There is a concern that you will only be able to add information, not remove it, and your spam levels will just increase. (this may not be true, but its a valid concern).
Horrible decision, a standard isn't being honored "EVERYWHERE" so you decide to undermine it entirely without replacement? What's the REAL reason, money?
The standard approach is not to honour it.
Its not being honored because some geniuses decided that it would be a great idea to make DNT a default setting-- which made it UTTERLY PREDICTABLE that websites would eventually stop honoring it.
Good call, though guys. We won the ideological fight by making it the default, even if practically speaking we shot ourselves in the foot. Now we can continue to criticize Firefox and Chrome for defaulting DNT off, and praise IE for singlehandedly tanking the idea!
That is corporate speak for, "we decided we could make more money this way, so here is a bs reason for us to change, when we really just want more money."
It was a dumb idea anyway. Asking a web server to honor the "do not track" setting is like asking my dog to guard a plate of cookies. If you want this to work, you've got to control privacy from the client, somehow. Alternately, you need a legal remedy of some sort.
Track beta!
Anyone savvy enough to care about this issue stop using Yahoo long ago anyway.
You are equating "care about this issue" with "don't want to be tracked". That is not always true. I care very much about my privacy. But, in most cases, I want to be tracked. I get a more personalized experience, and I see fewer ads that are irrelevant to me. When I want privacy, I open a new private browser window. There is a tradeoff between privacy and personalization, and not every informed user wants, or should want, 100% privacy 100% of the time.
Yes, thank you.
I agree 100%, I see ads of things I actually want, from brands I don't know.
The google cards on my phone are great, finding information about products I searched for, and news updates about subjects.
The personalized experience is fantastic.
The ads are not "relevant" to you, they are what advertisers want you to see. If you are a young male expect lots of scantily clad women waving stuff in your face. If you are a mother you will probably be hit with more "one weird trick to shed pregnancy pounds" or Jezebel ads. Six months after you buy a car you will still be getting ads for them.
The advertisers don't have enough information to to give you really relevant ads. Many of the most relevant products might not even be advertised on Yahoo anyway. A
The ads are not "relevant" to you, they are what advertisers want you to see.
Those things aren't mutually exclusive.
The advertisers don't have enough information to to give you really relevant ads.
Then isn't the solution, if you want what the GP professes to want, less privacy?
Best thing to do is block ads and just google when you want something.
Ironic that you're citing one of the biggest data-aggregating advertisers out there today as a relevant source, when you appear to be arguing against exactly what t
Please, nobody want to see ads. There are people who blocking them, and there are people who don't know how.
Has it ever been a surprise to anyone that a measure that service-providers must voluntarily follow would not be followed? I mean, if by not following the measure you can generate more cash than by following it then why would you choose to do it, especially if no one else does it either? No, do-not-track was doomed all the way from the beginning.
There's no technological barrier to ignoring robots.txt, yet Google, Yahoo and the rest obey the standard meticulously. Does this mean that my own right to privacy is given less regard than a web server's?
Commercial search engies must skate a fine line between fair use and copyright violation. There is at least some potential that ignoring robots.txt could land them in legal trouble.
At the moment, lacking contrary legislation, user-identifiying information that is transmitted to a server is considered property of that server owner. If there was legislation defining that information as property of the user, much like Canada (among others) defines metered electricity usage information as belonging not to the u
Yahoo stops using "Do-Not-Track" and in response people who care about it implement "Do-Not-Yahoo". These things tend to work themselves out over time.
You may remember exactly every service you use(d) that had a Yahoo email account as the main or fallback address, but the majority of folk out there don't. Admittedly, some of the fault is their own, but they are locked-in to a service that has now decided to abuse them for cash.
I am fine with sacrificing user friendliness for my privacy. Do not track me or I won't use your services. I have two yahoo emails which incidentally are used as account/spam dumps. I won't even use them for that if this is how Yahoo has chosen to do things.
Funny..my Yahoo account is a spam dump too.
I find it comical that when I empty my spam folder an advertisement pops up in the window. Sad
>'we have yet to see a single standard emerge that is effective, easy to use and has been adopted by the broader tech industry.'
Here is my 'standard'; NoScript and AdBlock Plus.
Ghostery does it much better with less overkill that noscript tends to be guilty of.
Just a suggestion: Consider replacing Ghostery with Disconnect. Ghostery embraces the Dark Side [businessinsider.com]
You could also use Ghostery but not enable the data sharing feature mentioned in that article.
You also probably want Better privacy too. It gets rid of supercookies.
Hopefully some more ideas will come out of this thread.
First, they want to provide a personalized web-browsing experience, which isn't possible using do-not-track.
But the user clearly does not want a personalised web-browsing experience.
Ghostery, Secret Agent, CS Lite and NoScript are essential today, and nobody should EVER go online without those, or some equivalent. Let them personalise that.
The Web has been hijacked and is now fundamentally broken. It is being transformed into a locked-in content delivery platform, something like cable TV with a camera that records your every movement. It needs to be handled with gloves and goggles, like you would when accessing a chemical weapons research facility.
We'll need to develop another Internet, this one has been taken over by marketroids and is beyond saving.
> But the user clearly does not want a personalised web-browsing experience.
Until MSIE started lying about the user's preferences. The standard specifies what should be sent if the user has not expressed a preference. IE 10 lies and says the user requested a uncustomized version when they didn't. That makes the whole thing useless when browsers lie about what preferences the user expressed.
First, they want to provide a personalized web-browsing experience, which isn't possible using do-not-track.
But the user clearly does not want a personalised web-browsing experience.
Nobody can give me a "personalized" experience unless they can somehow read my mind.
Do I want to constantly see ads for XYZ just because I once searched for XYZ or once visited the XYZ website? Fuck You Yahoo, Google and anyone else talking about a "personalized web-browsing experience"
But the user clearly does not want a personalised web-browsing experience.
The geek may not want the personalized browsing experience. But the geek doesn't speak for everyone.
The Web has been hijacked and is now fundamentally broken. It is being transformed into a locked-in content delivery platform, something like cable TV
What did you expect to happen when hundred of millions of people with no preconceptions of what the web and the Internet "should be" began purchasing broadband services? You can't even assume anymore that a user is accessing the web through a general purpose computer and browser ---
and not an HDTV, WiFi Internet radio, e-book Reader, video game console, smartphone, tablet or some other device.
We'll need to develop another Internet, this one has been taken over by marketroids and is beyond saving.
Go for it.
But you are building nothing but an echo chamber, a walled garden for the geek.
Nothing but a bubble --- and bubbles burst,
The problem with "do not track" is that it was entirely up to the website to honour the browsing session. Most don't. And the ones that you'd reallywant to not have track you are the ones that really ignore it. It's therefore useless.
It's like a system of street privacy that relies on people being trusted to close their eyes when you walk by. Just because you ask them nicely. People will look, and you can't stop them.
If you want privacy you have to be the one in control of what is being revealed. You can't rely on others to keep your privacy for you.
Exactly. It was always a pretty bad idea. In fact, it reminds me a great deal of the RFC 3514 "evil bit" [wikipedia.org]
Do-Not-Track is basically a "Don't be evil" bit. It makes a plea on behalf of the end user and the end user hopes some distant system honors it. Any time you implement some version of the evil bit, you should expect that it's not going to work.
(Then again, there are a lot of tech features in use now -- such as a PDF owner_pass edit lock, or phone service Caller ID blocking -- which are also based on "plea
You probably want to use "duckduckgo" instead of google as your default search provider.
Google tracks a lot of information about you- even when you are anonymous. Last I heard it was 57 different things. I also keep googleleadservices and googleanalytics disabled in noscript.
Startpage is cool too.
You probably want to use "duckduckgo" instead of google as your default search provider.
I would love to promote duckduckgo, but in reality the results that site brings up are seldom relevant, and normally suck.
I've recently switched to using Startpage for searches, as it protects my "anonymity" and pulls relevant search results, since it uses Google search on the back end.
After the latest Firefox update, though, typing a search in the address field doesn't go to my preferred (in settings) search engine, but instead to Yahoo.
Firefox stores data about which search engine to use in a set of XML files. If something else gains access to those files, it can edit them to keep the name and icon of, e.g. google, but send the actual search to goatse (or wherever). If you delete the files, then the "restore defaults" button on the "manage search engines" panel will enable, and restore the originals.
First, they want to provide a personalized web-browsing experience, which isn't possible using do-not-track.
This is one of the phrases and behaviors that annoy me the most about various sites, especially search sites. I search for both personal and work related things, don't want searches tailored to anything other than the specific thing for which I'm searching at that time. I generally don't care what I searched for 24h ago (looking at you Google side-bar).
In a related rant, I can't stand the Google side-bar, Instant and Suggestions and make every attempt to disable and or strip them out (using Proxomitron) though now that Google has switched to HTTPS, that makes things more difficult for me - sigh.
Dear Providers, Don't "help" me unless I ask for it.
IIRC yahoo is worth less than nothing at the moment. Re: www.bloombergview.com/articles/2014-03-17/is-yahoo-s-business-worth-less-than-nothing
Why would I listen to a company with such outstanding performance?
Noscript, only per session cookies, and surfing trough a proxy.
"However, we have yet to see a single standard emerge that is effective, easy to use and has been adopted by the broader tech industry.' It looks like this is another blow to privacy on the web."
I don't know about you, but I can think of one fairly effective and extremely easy to use "standard"... AdBlock.
Maybe it's time for the legal system to get involved. If entities won't honor privacy, maybe we need the equivalent of the "Do Not Call" list for telephones implemented for the internet. Of course companies like Google and Yahoo will then just alter their service agreements to state that you do in fact agree to be tracked.
Yahoo! Groups is bloated with spam that can't be blocked by its admins.
Yahoo! Messenger is so fraught with bugs and bloatware that users are fleeing in droves.
The main Yahoo! website is dated and mindless.
Yahoo! Mail is an abomination of unusable kludges and missteps.
Lastly, who uses Yahoo! to search for anything anymore, anyway?
Put a wooden stake in it, this thing is dead.
The DNT standard specifies what should be sent under three conditions:
a) The user expresses that they DO want customization
b) The user expresses that they do NOT want customization
c) The user doesn't express any preference
IE 10 lies and says b when the truth is c. That makes it impossible to know who actually chose DNT. The whole thing is useless now that it doesn't to indicate the user's stated preference.
From http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft... [ietf.org]
"5. Header Syntax
The Do Not Track HTTP header, "DNT", must take one of two values: "1"
("opt out") or "0" ("opt in"). All other values are reserved.
6.3. Default
A user agent MAY adopt NO-EXPRESSED-PREFERENCE or OPT-OUT by default.
It MUST NOT transmit OPT-IN without explicit user consent."
The standard explicitly allows opt-out as a default
The proposal you linked to was voted down several years ago. The last call standard is:
Key to that notion of expression is that the signal sent must reflect the user's preference, not the choice of some vendor, institution, site, or network-imposed mechanism
A user agent must have a default tracking preference of unset (not enabled)
Does Slashdot get all its news stories from FARK.com?
I read most of the current crop there first.
Any standard that's effective and easy to use will not be accepted by the advertising industry, so making the "success" of a standard contingent on that last is nonsense. The DNT standard does serve one useful purpose whether or not it's accepted: it provides a single, easy-to-interpret, unambiguous indication to advertisers as to whether or not the user has consented to tracking. It removes their ability to say "Well, they didn't say otherwise so we assumed they're OK with it.". It does that whether or not
If graphics hackers are so smart, why can't they get the bugs out of fresh paint?

Don't tell a guy from Philadelphia he can't do something. At least, that's what Bob Lima says. Bob owns Philadelphia Motorsports, which builds custom race cars and street rods. While the shop has produced many cool rods, it had never taken on a project like this.
"I've always been into mid-years and sharks, and we were working on a C4 conversion," Bob says. "But we said, 'Why do that when the C5 is the best thing out there?' We wanted to do a C5 conversion for a shark, and we started looking around for people who had done it and couldn't find anyone who did. Well, after that, we had to do it."
The result of the determination of Bob and the Philadelphia Motorsports staff is this C5-chassis, '69 Corvette T-top. "We've built a lot of street rods," he adds. "But this is the most awesome thing we've done so far."
Now that Bob and his crew have successfully completed a C5 conversion, it opens the doors for other C2/C3 to C5 conversions. "The '69 is a prototype," Bob says. "Right now, we're working on a '64 conversion." Bob added there has been a lot of interest in buying the car, but he wants to hold onto it right now because it serves as an example of the possibilities.
The engine really packs a wallop. It's a ZZ-502 GM Performance crate motor. The "502" applies to both the published horsepower and torque ratings. But Bob says those numbers are a little conservative. "We put it on an engine dyno and got 559 lb-ft of torque," he says. "At 4,700 rpm, it gets 550 lb-ft. This motor never stops. You won't need a seatbelt to hold you in, either. It's the wildest ride you'll want to take."
Getting the crate motor to fit required shortening the torque tube and driveshaft. But other than that, it nestled in pretty well. The engine features an L88 cowl-induction air-cleaner assembly. March Performance supplied the polished-aluminum serpentine pulley system with a polished-aluminum reverse-flow water pump and a Sanden A/C compressor. The 304 stainless steel step headers were handmade by Philadelphia Motorsports' Sal Donato. "We put merge collectors behind the headers," Bob adds, "so this thing breathes unbelievably."
While Bob owns Philadelphia Motorsports, Sal is the man who runs the day-to-day operations of the shop and was the fabricating force behind this incredible shark.
"I own the shop, but I'm Sal's helper," Bob says. "[The '69] was my concept, but he made the whole thing really happen. He designed the chassis one piece of tubing at a time. If I had built the thing, we'd be lucky if it rolled."
Along with the custom chassis, custom sway bars had to be made because the car's stance is narrower than a factory C5's. Still, the suspension is fully adjustable. All the welding is TIG-style.
While the car took over a year to design, it took a mere three months to build. Bob and Sal wanted to have it ready for the '03 Corvettes at Carlisle. "We never would have tried to do it in three months if it hadn't been for that deadline," Bob says. "We worked 20-hour days seven days a week to get it finished."
While the chassis is all DOM mild-steel tubing, the body required almost as much piecing together. It began as nothing more than a rear clip, but a solid one at that. The floor is a two-piece fiberglass fabrication (firewall to bulkhead) designed to accommodate the C5 components. The front and rear ends have each been molded together into a solid piece. The front grille is also one piece, hand-molded from perforated thin-gauge steel. The L88 hood arrived from Eckler's, and the Sebring headlight covers are courtesy of Dick Guldstrand. "He was a big help to us," Bob says. "The man is a wealth of information."
The Sebring headlight covers are especially important. Bob has always been an admirer of the Sebring road racers of the late '60s, and he wanted to build this car in their image. The interior reflects this intent, with Auto Meter Phantom gauges, a carbon-fiber gauge pod and tunnel area, an Old Air Products A/C, and Kirkey aluminum road-racing seats with an M&R five-point harness.
For the exterior, PPG black was mixed with red pearl to give the car a "black cherry" appearance. Then, a similar blend with more red was used to paint the cowl. "I had no idea what it would look like before we put it on, but I think it came out great," Bob says. "The [cowl] has a ghost stripe-sometimes you see it, sometimes you don't."
Another achievement in bodywork came in the form of scoops built into the side T-top panel. These scoops feed air through a duct to cool the rear brakes. The brakes are Wilwood units (six-piston in the front and four-piston in the rear). "The original C5 brakes are very good," Bob says, "but we needed an upgrade. We plan on beating this thing to death, and we have to be able to stop it."
Bob and company plan to start delivering that beating this summer. While the car is meant to be a street rod, it will see some dragstrip passes as well. The car will be entered in three RCCA events and the Delaware Valley Corvette Club's Corvette Challenge. Great effort was placed on getting the car's weight distribution to nearly dead-on 50/50. Sal estimates the car will run e.t.'s in the low 10s. "If it doesn't," Bob adds, "We'll use nitrous."
"I've never been this excited about a project," Bob says. "The interest and acceptance Sal and I received at Carlisle was a great experience."
Who knows what will come out of Philadelphia Motorsports next? It could be something unbelievable. All it takes is someone to tell them they can't built it.

Sen. Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale, has released a list of recommendations for amending Florida's Stand Your Ground law, after a task force he convened debated the language of the law earlier this month.
Among the unanimous recommendations:
- Cases should be presented to a Grand Jury to allow for a cross section of society to determine what a reasonable person would do in that case.
- Educate the public and law enforcement
- Create a system to track self-defense claims in Florida
- Add language requiring an "imminent" danger provision throughout the statute
- Change the "Defense of Others" wording in the law's title to "Defense of Property"
- Allow law enforcement to detain someone who uses the Stand Your Ground defense while they investigate.
For more details, visit FloridaStandYourGround.org for the full report.
Smith said he would give his recommendations to Gov. Rick Scott and his public safety task force, which will have its first meeting Tuesday.
Smith said Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, who chairs the public safety task force, rejected his request to speak at the inaugural meeting and present the recommendations.
"I guess I'll attend and maybe put it on their windshield wipers in their cars campaign style afterwards," he said.
Smith, one of only 20 lawmakers who voted against the law in 2005, said his task force agreed unanimously on several ways to clarify the law to make it more effective.
The 18-member group of "legal minds" also had several consensus recommendations, in which at least 12 members agreed on an issue, but there were dissenting opinions.
"Stand your ground has been used way before Trayvon Martin, and it will be used way after Trayvon Martin," Smith said. "In order to make sure that we have a just legal and safe society, I still believe that the Legislature should act soon and make sure we clarify how we should live in a civilized society in Florida."
Smith is pushing for a special session for the Legislature to address the law.
"It's a public safety issue," he said.

Sharks Ticket Info
The San Jose Sharks finished with a record of 25-16-7 last season which was good enough for 3rd in the Pacific Division and 6th overall in the Western Conference. Their division was highly competitive, with four teams surpassing 50 points in the lockout shortened season. The Sharks started out red hot, going undefeated in January with a 7-0-0 in the first month of the season. They cooled off considerably in February going just 2-6-4. When they clinched a playoff berth many experts believed that they had an offense volatile enough to make some real noise in the postseason.
They were paired up with the 3-seeded Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs and took care of them with relative ease. The Sharks swept the series and were headed to Los Angeles to face the previous season's Stanley Cup Champions, the Kings. They took the Kings to seven games but were unable to come home victorious in the final affair. The fans of San Jose were extremely proud of the way that their team had battled throughout the regular and postseason and believe that 2016-2017 could be the year that the Sharks finally break out and become a series contender for the Stanley Cup.

Malpass Garden Lounge.
According to Krista Bowers Sharpe, reference librarian at University Libraries, the program will feature Western faculty, staff and students reading from works that individuals, at various times and places, have tried to suppress. This year's featured books are among the top ten most frequently challenged works of 2012, including Jeannette Walls' "The Glass Castle," Khaled Hosseini's "The Kite Runner" and Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet."
Banned Books Week is an annual celebration of controversial reading sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA). This year, Banned Books Week will take place Sept. 22-28. (For more information, see ALA's website at www.ala.org/advocacy/banned/bannedbooksweek.)
"Western Illinois University Libraries' faculty and staff encourage all readers to join with the ALA in celebrating the freedom to read during Banned Books Week and at all times," Bowers Sharpe said. "Our celebration of 'Banned and Determined' is open free to the public."

Congress and IRS increasing scrutiny of off-shore bank accounts
- August 4, 2008
- |
Brian C. Bernhardt
In early July, a federal court in Miami authorized the IRS to issue a "John Doe Summons" to the Swiss bank UBS. Despite Swiss laws protecting the confidentiality of people who bank in Switzerland, the IRS asked UBS to identify American citizens with UBS accounts who did not complete forms necessary to report their income to the IRS.
The fall-out from the court's decision has been fierce. UBS has announced that it will no longer provide confidential private banking and private wealth services to American citizens in Switzerland. Congress has begun to hold a series of hearings investigating the role foreign banks play in helping their American customers avoid U.S. taxes.
The Senate is considering new bills that would give the IRS expanded authority to identify American citizens with off-shore bank accounts, further examine the accounts and collect taxes and penalties from account holders. Americans with off-shore bank accounts, especially bank accounts at UBS in Switzerland, are wondering how these rules, and the summons the IRS issued to UBS, will affect them.
The rules that apply to American citizens holding off-shore bank accounts are fairly straightforward. Off-shore accounts are allowed, so long as they are properly reported. Individuals must report their off-shore accounts in three main ways. First, the owner of an off-shore account must report all interest earned on the account on Parts I and/or II of Schedule B on the owner's Form 1040. Second, the owner of the off-shore account must complete Part III of Schedule B on Form 1040, which acknowledges that the off-shore account exists. Third, the owner of the off-shore account must complete and file a Form TD F 90-22.1 report of foreign bank accounts.
The problem, of course, is that many taxpayers use off-shore accounts for nefarious reasons: to hide cash receipts from the government, vendors or creditors to whom they owe money, plaintiffs who are suing them, or, of course, spouses trying to obtain large divorce settlements. These taxpayers do not want anyone, especially the IRS, to know about the off-shore money. So they don't report the interest income, acknowledge they own an off-shore bank account on their income tax return, or complete and file a report of the foreign bank account.
Problems arise, however, when someone such as the IRS discovers the account, which brings us back to the UBS summons issued by the IRS. When UBS, or any off-shore bank, responds to a summons asking for the identity of account holders, it is not difficult for the IRS to cross-check that list with tax returns and reports of foreign bank accounts to see who has reported the accounts and who has not done so.
If the IRS finds a taxpayer's undisclosed off-shore bank account, there are typically three responses. Most likely, one of these three things will happen to the account holders that UBS identifies for the IRS.
First, the IRS could do nothing. This result is unlikely, but could happen if the list of people discovered is large, it identifies many other people who were engaged in more active acts of evasion, the statute of limitations is expiring soon (keep in mind that if a tax return or report foreign bank account is not filed, the statute of limitations will never start, much less expire), or the IRS just makes a mistake.
Second, the IRS could launch a criminal investigation. This result is also unlikely in most cases, but could happen if the taxpayer actively engaged in evading taxes and reporting requirements. For instance, the IRS believes that some of the people included in UBS's summons response have actively worked with UBS to change the owner of their off-shore bank account. This would allow the original owner to maintain control over the off-shore account but no longer have any reporting requirement to the IRS. That type of active conduct is more likely to rise to the level of criminal than when a taxpayer simply does not report the off-shore account or its income.
Third, the IRS could begin a civil audit. This result is the most likely result. The IRS would do an examination of the number and locations of the off-shore accounts, the interest earned, and whether any penalties should apply. Taxpayers would likely owe tax and interest on the interest they did not report to the IRS, as well as penalties. The penalty might be a 20 percent "accuracy related" penalty or the much higher 75 percent fraud penalty, depending on the facts. In addition, there are penalties for failing to file the foreign bank account report or for filing it incorrectly by leaving off one or more off-shore bank accounts.
While the focus on off-shore bank accounts may seem a little over the top, keep in mind that the IRS is worried about more than taxpayers not reporting interest income — there is a lot of cash that floats around our economy that is almost impossible for the IRS to trace, cash that often ends up overseas. So while existing off-shore accounts may only mean that taxpayers have unreported interest income, the missing cash that created the off-shore accounts in the first place represents a large amount of unreported income and uncollected tax.
As a result, it should be no surprise that the IRS is looking to foreign banks such as UBS for the names of American citizens hiding money in secret Swiss bank accounts. And it should not be surprising that Congress will soon be considering laws that widen the scope of taxpayers treated as owning and/or controlling an off-shore bank account, mandate additional reporting requirements for those people, and give the IRS more authority to enforce the reporting requirements.
Remember, it's not that having an off-shore bank account is bad, wrong, or illegal — it's what you do, or do not do, with an off-shore bank account that matters.

Tough to find genuine eggcorns through google due to hundreds of people using the term jokingly, but true eggcornations of this phrase are out there!
An image of a Far Side cartoon, featuring dogs and Toilet Trees, keeps popping into my head. I don't know if there is such a cartoon but it isn't difficult to imagine one.
I recently have seen a couple of examples of this (not on the web, but written communication). I think it should be in the database, but doesn't seem to be there.
Dunno. It's hard to see the image transference that would make it an eggcorn.
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
Excellent! And much more transparent in its eggcornish meaning, for me at least, than toilet trees.

Mount Edgecumbe, a beautifully symmetric volcano on Kruzof Island is one of Southeast Alaska's most dramatic landmarks. Anyone who has been to Sitka, or even seen a picture of the little seaside town, is familiar with the impressive snow-capped peak, rising 3,200 feet above sea level. Climbing the volcano has, for many years, been a favorite summer adventure with Boy Scout Troops from Juneau, and this year at least three troops made the trip.
Troop 11, sponsored by Resurrection Lutheran Church, took six boys and three adults over on Memorial Day weekend.
We traveled to Sitka on the fast ferry Fairweather in only four hours and spent one night in the U.S. Forest Service campground at Starrigavan Bay, only a quarter mile from the ferry terminal.
The next day, we traveled by charter boat to the USFS cabin at Fred's Creek where the trail to the mountain starts.
Approaching Kruzof Island by boat, the mountain looms majestically in the distance, and everyone thought "we are going to climb that?"
The boys spent a day exploring the beaches near the cabin and playing on rope swings and a hammock made by previous campers out of lost fishing gear. The cabin itself is a convenient spot to stay and has bunks for six people. Despite this, the boys all camped outside and we used the cabin as a kitchen. There was abundant firewood and a good source of water nearby. The geology of area is completely different from Juneau and reminds me of Hawaii, with large black lava flows right in front of the cabin.
The next morning was clear and sunny and we headed up the trail at 7 a.m., hiking down a pathway that was originally constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It is now maintained by the USFS and is in excellent condition. The trail follows about five miles of gently sloping terrain which crosses wet muskeg and gnarled forests.
It was at the base of the mountain that we first hit snow and from there it was two miles of steep climbing to the summit. There was exposed gravel which looked like it would be good footing, but it was covered with small pebbles of very light pumice, which proved to be treacherous underfoot. Yet even in the snow fields the trail is well marked by large posts. The fastest boys reached the summit by 11:30 a.m., followed by the 12-year-olds and the 56-year-old Scoutmaster at about 12:15 p.m. We spent about half an hour on top, looking around the caldera, taking pictures and enjoying the 360 degree view.
Troop 11 climbed the mountain five years ago, also on Memorial Day weekend, and on that trip one of the older boys hiked the whole thing in snowboard boots packing his snowboard. We all thought he was crazy until we got to the top and looked down at the long snow-covered slopes. Then we all wished we had brought snowboards or skis, too! Fortunately, rain pants worked almost as well and we were able to slide down, riding them like one would a sled.
We all brought rain gear this year and once again there was enough snow to slide like penguins down a steep gully right next to the trail. What took two hours to go up, took roughly 15 minutes to slide down. Then, it was back on the trail and the group was home at the cabin by 5 p.m. The next day, we left the island at noon and it started sprinkling on the way to Sitka.
What a difference a couple of days can make. When we got to the ferry terminal it was overcast and the mountain was completely obscured by clouds.
Troop 6, also from Juneau, arrived on the ferry — the same one we were planning to return on.
It rained on them steadily for their whole trip. They summited in the fog and quickly returned because it was so cold.
Troop 55, from Juneau, came the following week and had good weather and a great trip.
We were extremely lucky with the weather, but the Troop 6 experience the following week underscores why the Boy Scout motto of "Be Prepared" is always a good idea when planning any outdoor activity.
The Mount Edgecumbe trip is a wonderful introduction to the Boy Scouts High Adventure program. High Adventure trips, catered to older participants, are usually multiday trips that require months of planning, fund raising and training. For example, in the last five years we have sea kayaked to Pack Creek, explored the caves of Prince of Wales Island, hiked the Chilkoot Trail and canoed 200 miles down the Yukon River.
The main expenses on the Mount Edgecumbe trip are the ferry to Sitka and the charter to Kruzof Island, and the only required training is basic scouting outdoor skills and being in good enough shape to hike 14 miles in a day.
It's not likely many boys can say they have climbed a volcano, even a dormant one that hasn't erupted in 5,000 years.
The Boy Scouts are open to all boys age 11 to 17. For more information go to http://scoutingalaska.org.

Thought since it was a new year, we'd start anew with this thread.
Just returned from my lunch break, where I went on a little splurge at Barnes and Noble.
Picked up four books, all of which I am looking forward to reading in the next few weeks.
The First was Perilous Times, about the free speech, or lack there of in times of war, from the post-Revolution era to today. Figured it was a good topic given today's world and its a subject I am passionate about. The author is one I've seen before, he's a free speech activist so I'm interested to see what kind of scholarship and what the tone is in the book.
The 2nd and 3rd books, show that I am on a naval/oceanic kick lately. The titles I picked up were To Rule the Waves about how the British Navy became a global power and Sea of Glory about the US Ex Ex, a little known story about the US first major expedition voyage, and how despite going horribly awry at the end achieved some monumental goals.
I also picked up the Lonely Planet: Britain travel book for my upcoming (hopefully) trip abroad late this summer.
So whats everyone else, the regular readers out there and not the not so regular readers, have on their reading plate these days?

Q: What guidelines does the Better Business Bureau have for preparing to file income taxes?
A: With April 18 fast approaching, it is time to start the tax filing process that we all know and love. This tax season, if you are planning to get assistance from a tax preparer or even if you are planning to do the leg work yourself, the Better Business Bureau, along with the Internal Revenue Service, recommends following these top 10 tax filing tips.
1. Start gathering your records: Round up any documents or forms you will need when filing your taxes: receipts, canceled checks and other documents that support income or deductions you are claiming on your return.
2. Be on the lookout: W-2s and 1099s should have arrived by now and you will need these to file your tax return.
3. Use Free File: Let Free File, at www.irs.gov, do the hard work for you with brand-name tax software or online, with fill-in forms.
Everyone can find an option to prepare their tax return and e-file it for free. If you made $58,000 or less, you qualify for free tax software that is offered through a private-public partnership with manufacturers. If you made more or are comfortable preparing your own tax return, there is Free File Fill-in forms, www.irs.gov/freefile ; the electronic versions of IRS paper forms.
4. Try IRS e-file: After 21 years, IRS e-file has become the safe, easy and most common way to file a tax return. According to the IRS, 70 percent of taxpayers used www.irs.gov/efile/index/html.
Starting in 2011, many tax preparers will be required to use e-file and will explain your filing options to you. This is your chance to give it a try. IRS e-file is approaching 1 billion returns processed safely and securely. If you owe taxes, you have payment options to file immediately and pay by the tax deadline. Best of all, combine e-file with direct deposit and you get your refund in as few as 10 days.
5. Consider other filing options: There are many options for filing your tax return. You can prepare it yourself or go to a tax preparer. You may be eligible for free face-to-face help at an IRS office or volunteer site. Give yourself time to weigh all the options and find the one that best suits your needs.
6. Consider direct deposit: If you elect to have your refund directly deposited into your bank account, you will receive it faster than waiting for a paper check.
7. Visit the IRS website again and again: The official IRS website, www.irs.gov, is a great place to find everything you will need to file your tax return: forms, publications, tips, answers to frequently asked questions and updates on tax law changes for year 2010.
8. Remember this number: 17: Check out IRS Publication 17, a comprehensive collection of information for taxpayers highlighting everything you need to know when filing your return.
9. Review! Review! Review! Do not rush. Be sure to double-check all the Social Security numbers and math calculations on your return, as these are the most common errors made by taxpayers.
10. Do not panic! If you run into a problem, remember the IRS is there to help. Try www.irs.gov or call toll-free at 800-829-1040.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- A spring snowstorm took commuters by surprise Monday morning, dropping a slushy mix on roadways and snarling traffic, especially north of I-287.
Several morning accidents were reported in Westchester as a result of icy conditions.
Sleet began falling around 6:30 a.m. in much of the county, resulting in treacherous driving conditions.
An accident on I-684 North between Hardscrabble Road and I-84 was reported shortly afterward.
A multi-vehicle accident was reported on I-684 North between I-287 and Manhattanville Road in Purchase at 7:35 a.m.
Further south, accidents were also reported between Route 172 and Route 22 in Mount Kisco, at 7:35 a.m., and I-684 south between Route 120 and I-287.
An accident was also reported earlier in the morning commute on the southbound Saw Mill Parkway near Kisco Avenue in Mount Kisco.
Slow driving conditions were reported on I-684 and the Saw Mill Parkway, with several cars off the road as a result of the slippery conditions.

Aspose.Words for SharePoint allows you to convert documents within the Microsoft SharePoint applications. It supports multiple document formats like PDF, DOCX, DOC, RTF, MHT, TXT, XML, ODT, EPUB, and XPS. It is designed to be used with Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (standard and enterprise). You can also use different valuable options during conversion setup like converting files in subfolders or saving destination folder options.
The Aida project is two-fold: it defines a simple common markup language designed to describe structured text, and it implements a compiler that translates the Aida syntax into various target formats (HTML, LaTeX, Trac, Mediawiki, Text, Markdown, and others). The system is fast, flexible, and extensible. The core command, aida, is a strict parser (written using Bison and Flex), which analyzes files written in the Aida Markup Language and invokes callbacks in order to convert them to the target format. It embeds a Tcl language interpreter and the callbacks are written in Tcl. This makes it very easy to extend the library and to define new target formats. Furthermore, the Aida files are highly parameterizable via a header and the entire system is configurable at the admin and at the user level. It is also possible to evaluate Tcl code within an Aida file and thus create dynamic contents.

I thought I would post some pics and first impressions of my 2013 Sumpy FSR Comp 29. I was expecting to get a closeout 2012, but Cognition Bikes in Mountain View had a killer deal on a 2013 Stumpy FSR 29er Comp, so I was happy to take the last size large off of their hands. This is my first Specialized MTB. The bike is completely stock except for the the Command Post.
I've only done one 20 mile ride on it so far where I was making adjustments along the way. First impressions are that I LOVE the Command Post, the suspension is still getting dialed in, but the CTD settings are much easier than previous damper adjustments IMO. AUTOSAG on the shock makes setup wonderfully simple. The CTD switch on the rear shock has a bit of play in it, so I may take it back to the shop to see if they can do something about that or if it is the same on other new shocks.
The bike feels solid, rides beautifully, and climbs perfectly on these familiar trails. According to Cyclemeter, I rode the 20 mile route faster on the Stumpy FSR faster than on my Air 9 HT, but that could have been the rest I got when making adjustments and the new bike adrenaline.
The Elixir 5 brakes are making some warbling sounds, but I suspect that the pads need to be broken in more than anything. I also learned that the Command Post seat mount needs to be very tight, otherwise big hits may cause the seat to swing nose up.

Rep. John Garamendi, D-Walnut Grove, joined fellow California Democrats today and sent a letter to President Barack Obama urging federal support for an investigation into mortgage fraud.
California and Nevada attorney generals have teamed up to crack down on mortgage fraud.
Here's what Garamendi's office just sent out:
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman John Garamendi (D-Fairfield, CA) yesterday joined more than 30 Congressional Democrats from California in sending a letter to President Barack Obama urging the Administration to support California Attorney General Kamala Harris' efforts to investigate and crack down on fraud in the mortgage industry. Congressman Garamendi's district was especially hard hit by the housing crisis and Great Recession. Solano County continues to have the nation's second-highest foreclosure rate, and Contra Costa County communities like Antioch and Oakley have also been hard hit by foreclosures.
"The abuses and fraud need to be fully investigated, and I commend Attorney General Harris for taking appropriate leadership in helping homeowners," Garamendi said. "I hope the President uses the power of his Administration to aid Harris. We need to make sure that these rip off artists are exposed for their crimes, and to whatever degree we can help working families keep their homes, we should."
32 California Democrats signed the letter to President Obama. Text of the letter is below. A pdf of the letter, including signatories, is available here.
Dear President Obama:
California homeowners, and those throughout the country, continue to suffer as a result of the irresponsible and fraudulent actions of the mortgage industry. We write in support of California Attorney General Kamala Harris' continued investigation into the potential misconduct and fraud by the mortgage industry. Her determination to provide meaningful relief for California homeowners led to her decision in October 2011 to leave the multi-state settlement negotiations with the major banks. Attorney General Harris recently announced that she would be aligning her efforts with Nevada's, with each state committing more resources and energy towards holding the mortgage industry accountable for their actions.
In October 2011, California ranked second in the country, behind Nevada, in percentage of housing units that entered the foreclosure process—with nearly one in every 243 California homes entering the foreclosure process in that month alone. We know that California has been home to a myriad of abuses as we catalogued numerous constituent cases in a letter we sent to your Administration last year urging an immediate investigation.
We support Attorney General Harris' recent decision to pursue an independent investigation. We believe that any meaningful settlement must provide assistance for struggling homeowners—particularly those underwater—and should not grant banks a broad release from liability for abuses that have not been investigated and are not remedied by the settlement. The current multi-state settlement under review would relieve the banks of further liability without fully investigating the alleged wrongdoings. Furthermore, it would not provide meaningful relief to homeowners as it would apply to only 13% of the mortgages serviced by banks nationwide. It would likely result in $5 billion in penalties to mortgage servicers, with the rest of the settlement coming in the form of non-cash accounting losses that servicers would have experienced anyway, as the borrowers they declined to assist went into foreclosure. We can and we must do better for our constituents.
Attorney General Harris' commitment to delivering a fair outcome for those who have been wronged by the mortgage industry should be commended. We hope that you will join her and advocate for stronger terms that will have a real impact for hard-working Americans who were victimized by the mortgage industry.
