Music and Books
The San Antonio Museum of Art is offering visual art and music for Valentine's Day. At the San Antonio Public Library's Landa branch, 233 Bushnell Ave., there'll be books and music from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, courtesy of singer, songwriter and guitarist Scott Duncan, accompanied by fiddler/mandolinist Kim Mackenzie.
San Antonio-based Duncan, a two-time Kerrville New Folk finalist, has a big, deep voice and a cool guitar-picking style. Duncan's songs fuse classic folk and rougher-edged Texas songwriter sensibilities while drawing from Celtic and western influences.
Duncan is working with his "On a Bus to Nowhere" album. The title track alone is worth the price of admission; "John Wayne's Lament" is a bonus.
Mandolin picker/fiddler and singer Mackenzie is a not-so-secret weapon on the acoustic music scene. She chooses her playing, and singing, spots wisely and soulfully — putting the notes exactly where they belong.
Top-notch songwriting ****
The strength of this album is the songwriting. Not to downgrade the singing and instrumentation, but the songs are truly outstanding. Downright Guy Clark-worthy, which is the highest praise I can give. Wish I could play well enough to learn 'em all.
Scott Duncan – On A Bus To Nowhere (Independent)
Scott Duncan is a much-respected singer-songwriter from San Antonio, Texas, so much so that he's twice been a finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival and has showcased for the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance. His song "November Rain" was featured on the latter organisation's recent compilation release; you may have heard it.
Story songs and ballads are the foundation of his songwriting style and on his debut LP "On A Bus To Nowhere", he presents 13 prime examples of his craft. He delivers each song with a voice that's rich and honeyed, and accompanies them quite simply with mostly just guitar, banjo and a few strings. There's absolutely nowhere for his songs to hide, and it's to his credit that the listener is repeatedly enveloped into his tales of love, loss, sorrow and redemption.
Live on stage, in the dark corner of a small Texas club, I imagine the effect is captivating. At home, with the lights dimmed and the CD player gently warming, he's equally enthralling. The title track makes an instant impression; regret and lost love provide the themes, and the views from the bus, the stark imagery. "Storm Warning" uses heavy weather metaphors to relate current trials and tribulations, and the effect is emotional and direct, and full of dark portent.
Tapping directly into the legacies of both Townes Van Zandt and Johnny Cash, "Down By the River" has it all: love, betrayal, murder and retribution, and "The Place I Call Home" indicates a lighter side, and these contrasts are just one aspect that makes "On A Bus To Nowhere" such an entertaining listening experience.

Thanks for sharing your songs *****
Thanks for finally sharing these fantastic tunes with the rest of the world. You are an amazing songwriter/artist. One way I rate an songwriter is by the pictures they paint in my mind. You bring it in spades amigo. I hate to compare or pigeonhole songwriters, but your tunes bring to mind the imagery of John Prine, Guy Clark or Robert Earl Keen. You start us on this journey On a Bus to Nowhere, then take us on a dark detour Down by the River, then calm our nerves with a Lullaby to a Broken Heart. The sparse, clean arrangements only add to the reality of the messages. Thanks for allowing me to share these and other tunes with my close friends who haven't been lucky enough to hear you. Keep playing my friend. Peace Brother, Uncle Bobby

The day they put Thomas Clarke's body in the ground
Was the day she pulled the veil down.
They were young lovers:
School sweethearts.
He loved her voluptuous smile and russet hair
She loved his stories.
Married as soon as Thomas left school.
No laughter of children warmed their home.
No cradle
No little knitted socks from gran.
And the stories stopped.
He grew bitter
She found guilt
And then the neighbours heard the yelling.
She would hide the bruises
Under long sleeves she would sew.
Men at the local pub
Would tell stories
Of young ladies that welcomed his
Flaccid company.
He imagined a smiling redhead.
And then one morning, in the barn
He died
A cold body she found when looking
For the milk.
And then the funeral.
Of his absence.
Wishing to say something sincere
But truth silenced their voice.
The space marked a barrier.
She stood alone to stare at the earth
And the veil came down.
Thirty years later
When they found her
Sitting in the churchyard;
They peeled the veil away
To reveal a smile.

It has been a disappointing season for the Washington Nationals. Picked by many to win the NL East, they are 58-60 and 14 games behind the Atlanta Braves. And now, two of their players are making headlines for getting into an argument in the dugout during a game.
TV cameras caught slugger Jayson Werth and left-hander Gio Gonzalez arguing in the home dugout during Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. It appears that Gonzalez was a little late covering first base in the top of the inning, costing the Nationals a chance at turning a double play. Werth wasn't happy about that, and let Gonzalez know.
Pitching coach Steve McCatty even had to step in front of Gonzalez to prevent him from going after Werth.
"It stays between me and Werth,'' Gonzalez said, while Werth did not talk to the media at all.
That left it up to Manager Davey Johnson to figure out what it was all about.
"Just a little camaraderie going on,'' Johnson said. ''Jayson sometimes can get a little vocal. He thought Gio was a little late covering first."

3 Takeaways From Whole Foods Earnings
Earlier this week, I suggested three things investors should watch going into Whole Foods' fiscal third-quarter report Wednesday.
Sure enough, Whole Foods reported its results after the market close yesterday, so let's dig in to see what the self-proclaimed "healthiest grocery store in America" had to say.
On maintaining healthy margins...
First, I wanted to know how Whole Foods' gross margin is holding up.
After all, management stated earlier this year that they would be pursuing more value-oriented (read: lower-margin) items in an effort to improve their value proposition to consumers. As a result, they warned, while margins had shown impressive improvements so far in 2013, those gains might not be nearly as impressive in the back half of fiscal 2013.
Of course, while shareholders may not like it, this was largely viewed as a necessary move in order to help Whole Foods compete on a broader scale not only with other up-and-coming organic grocery stores like The Fresh Market, but also with larger grocery chains like Safeway, which is doing everything it can to improve its own meager sales.
Remember, with an increasingly cost-conscious consumer base and without the opportunity to build out nearly as many new locations as a percentage of its more than 1,600 stores, Safeway's revenue in its most recent quarter actually fell 1.7%.
So how did Whole Foods do this time around on the margin front?
Curiously enough, Whole Foods' gross profit actually managed to improve to 36.6% of sales in the third quarter, primarily thanks to continued improvements in cost of goods sold and occupancy costs as a percentage of sales. For those of you keeping track, note that that's up from 36.4% last quarter, and a 61-basis-point gain from 36% in the same year-ago period.
Meanwhile, operating margin remained steady from last quarter at 7.5%, which you might recall Whole Foods boasted three months ago was a record-setting number at the time.
Even so, despite the relief in cost of goods and occupancy, Whole Foods' earnings release still states that they expect operating margin to come in next quarter between 6.1% and 6.2% as expenses related to new store openings ramp up.
On earnings and sales growth...
Next, I wanted to know whether Whole Foods' earnings would continue to outpace sales growth.
For reference, last quarter Whole Foods' earnings grew 19% on sales growth of just 13%. The quarter before that, earnings grew 20% on a year-over-year sales increase of 13.7%.
So did Whole Foods keep the streak alive this time?
As a matter of fact, it did: Sales in the third quarter grew 20% over last year to $0.38 per share, while revenue increased 12.1% to $3.06 billion, helped by a solid comparable-store sales increase of 7.5%.
However, while those earnings beat estimates for earnings of $0.37 per share, revenue fell just barely short of analysts' estimates of $3.09 billion, one of the few weak points this quarter.
Going forward, though, Whole Foods also increased its full-year 2013 earnings guidance to between $1.43 and $1.46 per share, up from the previous range of $1.43 to $1.45. Additionally, the company narrowed its revenue guidance for fiscal 2013 to 11%, or the top end of its previous range.
Finally, for 2014, Whole Foods said they expect sales growth of 12% to 14% on comparable-store sales growth of 6.5% to 8%, with 2014 earnings growth of 17% to 18%.
On location expansion plans...
Last but not least, I wanted some color on Whole Foods' progress in building new locations en route to its ultimate goal of eventually operating approximately 1,000 stores in the U.S. -- and that's not even including the untapped potential the company sees in Canada and the United Kingdom.
Whole Foods opened six new locations last quarter, bringing its total to 349. This time around, though, investors were told to expect only four new stores, followed by another 12 in the fiscal fourth-quarter.
Sure enough, four new units were opened in the fiscal third quarter. In addition, the company has already opened another four so far in the fourth quarter, and is planning to complete the remaining eight by the end of the quarter. All told, that'll bring the total number of openings in fiscal 2013 to 32.
Finally, Whole Foods provided guidance on estimated openings for fiscal 2014 of between 33 and 38 new units, two or three of which will be relocations.
Foolish takeaway
Apart from the small revenue miss and the fact that Whole Foods admittedly trades at a premium -- around 40 times last years' earnings and 32 times next years' estimates -- I can't find a lot not to like about its most recent quarter.
In the end, we're still talking about a solidly profitable business that not only epitomizes conscious capitalism, but also boasts a history of shareholder-friendly policies. Remember, Whole Foods' last quarter paid $37 million in dividends, and the company repurchased $25 million of its common stock. As a result, I'm still convinced that the premium is well deserved, so I intend to continue proudly holding my own shares for the foreseeable future.
As for the future of retail itself, the industry is currently in the midst of the biggest paradigm shift since mail order took off at the turn of last century. Only those most forward-looking and capable companies will survive, and they'll handsomely reward those investors who understand the landscape.

Sewers are designed to carrying away civilisation's detritus and leavings. Thus, explorers are likely to find many things—most utterly without value—in the sewer. Sometimes, though, explorers come across items of value (or interest) unintentionally lost amid the muck.
Use the table below, to determine what items the PCs find amid the sewer's filth:
- Incongruously, a fine red cloak with a fox fur collar has been carefully folded and wedged into a small niche in the wall. Its hem is dirty, but otherwise it is in good repair (and worth 3 gp).
- A small niche in the wall holds a small parcel wrapped in sailcloth. The parcel contains three torches, flint and steel and a dagger. The sailcloth has protected the objects from the environment; they are all dry and in good condition.
- The tip of a rusting, bent dagger is wedged between two bricks comprising the sewer wall. The dagger has clearly been here for some considerable time.
- A partially sunken sack floats amongst the effluent, in the centre of the channel. The sack still holds 3 sp and 1 gp wrapped in its sodden, noisome folds.
- A shuttered lantern, with about one hour's fuel left inside, stands wedged against the wall on the opposite walkway. Its shutter is closed; only a faint glow radiates from the lantern.
- A long wooden rake is lent against one wall. Its well-worn handle is wrapped with leather strips.
- A pile of fresh bricks stands neatly stacked next to a section of crumbled wall. A trowel, chisels and other mason's equipment sits nearby ready for use.
- An empty wine flask hangs by a leather strap from a protruding brick in the wall. When the PCs arrive, a rat has climbed the wall and is sniffing at the pouch. When it sees the PCs, it leaps down and flees.
- A slimy short sword—its tip stained with dried blood—lies on the floor.
- A bloody, sodden bandage hangs off the edge of the walkway.
- A haphazard pile of items pulled from the sewer—including sodden, ragged clothes, bits of wood and other things—blocks the walkway. A rake leans against the wall, nearby.
- The mouldering skeleton of a long reptile—a constrictor snake— lies stretched out on the walkway. A spear has been driven through its skull, pinning it to the ground.
- A tiny burial cairn comprising bricks pulled from the wall partially blocks the walkway. Explorers taking the cairn apart discover the corpse of a monstrous rat buried within.
- Incongruously, a pile of neatly folded clothing perches next to the noisome sewerage channel. It looks for all the world like someone has gone swimming! The clothes comprise fine black trousers, a silk shirt and a short cape along with a pair of knee-high gentleman's boots.
- A 10-foot-long pole with a curved hook on one end lies discarded on the floor. The inner surface of the hook is worn, suggesting it has seen much use.
- A small, leafless tree branch lies entangled amid the effluent. Perceptive PCs notice the glimmer of silver from around the wood—a small silver necklace (worth 50 gp) is entwined around the branch. While retrieving the necklace, a careless PC could tumble into the sewer.
- A small sodden pouch lies on the floor in the shadows. The pouch contains 5 gp and a crude map of the surrounding tunnels showing two exits to the streets above.
- A small bundle of possessions lies on the floor. Splatters of blood decorate the surrounding brickwork. The possessions comprise a small sack, a change of (dirty) clothes and a bedroll along with some scraps of mouldering food.
- A rope dangles down from a spike hammered into the ceiling over the sewer channel. The spike pierces the ceiling near the underside of a steel trap door. The rope reaches down to just above the current "water" level.
- A 12-foot-long, three-foot wide raft—comprising two doors nailed together is tied to a shard of stone protruding from the side of the walkway. The raft is sturdy enough—unless more than 200 lbs. is piled on top. However, there are no paddles evident.

Sheriff's work program, also known as work release or alternative work program, persons sentenced for a crime serve their sentence by participating in public service work projects such as removing litter from the highway or removing graffiti. In a work furlough program persons sentenced for crimes are released during the day to go to work and spend nights in jail. With the electronic monitoring program also known as EMP, persons sentenced are permitted to serve their sentence at home and are monitored at home through GPS or electronic monitoring. Persons must have a telephone line. In a weekender program, persons are permitted to serve their sentence over a weekend or weekdays depending on the persons' schedule. Community work service permits sentenced persons to earn credits for work in the community that may benefit nonprofit organizations.

We sure hope this is not true, but the rampant rumor mill at the Brownsville Independent School District has aged coach Joe Rodriguez (with two strokes in the bag) stepping down and rethread board member Rick Zayas taking over for his mentor.
That comes as other rumors swirl on the possible hiring of 404th District Judge Elia Cornejo-Lopez replacing Baltazar Salazar, the board's counsel and inheriting his $264,000 salary.
Rodriguez, whose control of the board's majority oversaw the spending of millions of this cash-poor BISD budget on artificial turf for high schools and even middle schools while the administration was asking teachers to spend just a bit more of their personal money of classroom supplies for students.
A firm championed by Rodriguez – Paragon – has kept its workers and managers in the dough. We hear that they have become the favorites of some ladies who brag about spending only 15 minutes for a $300 payoff. The BISD taxpayer no sabe pa quien trabaja.
"Lo paga todo el BISD," one of them told us recently.
Rumors also indicate that Dr. Sylvia Atkinson's ascent to the BISD board will also carry her brother Charlie (former city commissioner and aduanal) upward in her tide. There's already talk of Charlie catapulting over the ranks of the district's coaches and assuming an important position, perhaps even AD.
Noting is impossible. Remember that he was allowed to work on his certification while holding a job as a coach at Faulk. His hiring led to charges by at least one unemployed (but certified) coach that there was favoritism (gasp!) being practiced at the district.
If Zayas does come in through the back door, it will be a vindication of his assertion that he was beaten by Lucy Longoria way back when because of dirty politics.
But unlike the time when he was on the board, there is no $130 million in the BISD fund balance to play with anymore. After his and Ruben Cortez's stint on the board, that went down to $68 million, and the BISD is at that point again.
Newly-elected trustee Philip Cowen came in bragging about how he built schools, raised teachers wages omparable to those in Dallas, and did all that without a bond issue. Well, Phil, this ain't your granma's BISD anymore. Now we have an aggregate of special interests gnawing at the $525 million budget that won't take no for an answer.
Good luck to you with that one.

No surprise there. We all knew Sylvia and Laura were looking to replace Balthazar even with his donation to their campaigns. They joined forces to accommodate Judge Lopez and are full swing in destroying Zendejas. Only surprise is Cowen joining forces with them too. Had I known I wouldn't have voted for him smh.

Is this a FAKE NEWS site? Looks like it.

Se les dijo what would happen if Atkinson came on board but nobody paid a heed to that. It is a shame that after so much has been accomplished in the last year, the BISD has chosen to fall back on the old "compadre system" that has plagued BISD since Mr. B was here. If Zayas gets back on the board, for sure the Zaycor or whatever it is now called, with Cortez, will come back to roost. And if Cornejo takes over Salazar's job, nos vamos de Guatemala a Guatepior. When rumors arise at BISD, they soon become fact porque a la gente no les importa que los hagan "p@#######. So why worry? They will do as they please as everything else in this wayward town que se deja. Charlie would not last a day as AD. He is the most hated coach in BISD even though he wins at la Faulk porque los de la Faulk no sabe major para defenderse de sus insultos a los ninos.
- November 22, 2016 at 6:59 PM
You get what you elect. C`mon you all knew what Sylvia's agenda was when you voted for her. Same goes with Laura Reyes. And Cowen I didn't see coming but everyone saw that sweet girl act behind the JUDGE G.s pet monkey Laura. Tell me you guys didn't see Judge Lopez getting in there with a straight face. All you supporters wanted this to happen.

Nepotism, favoritism, cronyism, and ass-kissing has priority over getting the best person for the job. It is amazing that the teachers and parents haven't protested. I understand that the teachers are not likely to bite the hand that feeds them, but someone in the district must have some integrity and want to see the district run in and ethical and honest manner. The parents; unfortunately most just want day care and don't give a rats ass.

I believe one of the ladies who ran against Coach Joe should be appointed, and no this pendejo Zayas. Where are you when we need you Sylvia A???

How can CA become the AD of BISD when he has never held a head coach position?
- November 23, 2016 at 10:20 AM
Charlie Atkinson is an incompetent DICK and should not be given any job above his ability....elementary PE (if there is any PE in BISD elementary schools). If he is given a higher level coaching or AD position, the community should really shout out to the board members. Of course that won't happen...padronismo prevails and nepotism is a word most don't care about or understand. BISD is a cash cow and there are too many seeking to suck on the tit of that cow for their livelihood. Those that can do, do; those that can't teach.
- November 23, 2016 at 12:34 PM
Good if Rick comes back cause he has a personal ax to grind when it comes to La Sylvia. Not happy with her at all for personal reasons.
How can Charlie be promoted if Atkinson is there. Nepotism? Or does that still stand firm. Do you really think this guy is qualified to handle the responsibilities of an athletic director?
What a cesspool with the new elected school board members and it will get worse but that is why God made idiots but first He made school board members - Atkinson, Pena, Cowen, Perez and maybe even Lopez now.
- November 23, 2016 at 6:34 PM
Was Durham the name of the privatised bus company that was busing our kiddos around when Cowen was here?
- November 23, 2016 at 6:37 PM
How can Cornejo be the board attorney when she has 13 grievances against BISD as she protects her affluenza child? Unless she now plans to drop the grievances and let the kid fin for herself and learn that la chiche is not going to be there all the time to fight her fights. Let her learn like all the other kids who have to follow rules and regulation, but since the mother does not, why should she. I am sure that Baltazar is going to go quietly -HA HAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Settle down people. I have no ambition to be A.D. Its a thankless job anyway and I don't care about money. Its about kids and how they can aspire to be successful. God dam straight I'm hard on my southmost kids but its nothing I haven't done with my own kids. My players would do anything for me because they know I would do the same. I show them respect and demand it back. Its that simple. As far as coaching I am fine where I am at. I would like in the future to work at a high school but only as a position coach and nothing more. Kids get me and I know we can take our kids in Brownsville 3 or 4 deep in the playoffs. It just takes determination and a belief we can kick Harlingen's ass, San Benito's ass, Edcouch Elsa's ass, Mercedes's ass, etc.. Its a mindset. Us Atkinsons hate to lose and maybe thats why people start hating. Just chill out and stop worrying about the future. We have have an opportunity to do great things if kids are put first and politics second. This is the real Charlie Atkinson. Happy Thanksgiving to all the anon haters. And yes our football team went undefeated again this year Montoya!! 9-0 suckers!!!!!
- November 24, 2016 at 12:18 PM
The new secretary of Education under Trump is a firm believer in Charter schools over public schools. BISD will receive less and less federal money starting next year and young teachers will run to Charter schools, high school coaches better give positive results because with less Federal money comes NO higher salaries and better move that gut.
- November 24, 2016 at 5:40 PM
Charlie Atkinson what a joke
This is perfect example of why our browmsville sports teams always lose. Never have qualified coaches. It's always a coach that knows someoneor an elementary coach that has been moving up for the last 30 years. Poor student athletes always get short changed.
- November 25, 2016 at 10:01 AM
Laura got a high position and Sylvia didnt get shit. I wonder if Sylvia knows she was used lol too funny.

Mary Rey?
- November 25, 2016 at 2:20 PM
Seriously Juan. Baltazar has 5 votes solid. Judge Elia can't rub 2 votes together. Big Joe isn't stepping down. Review last Friday's meeting. Sharp as a tack. Tom Chavez will stay on as AD. Cesar's and Carlos' lips are permanently attached to Espi's rear so she'll get another extension and make 350 thousand before year's end. Luis will ask Rigo to run against Gowen. This time everyone will help because its a vote against Carlos. God help us.
- November 25, 2016 at 6:47 PM
Yes! Mary Rey! Is she running?

"God help us" dudeeee we have Sylvia the butch is BISD with an agenda, Laura "La Weela" with an agenda to make right on all promises she made to her Johns` and Charlie Atkinson the stupid ass brother who cant have his ass pawned for a nickel and you think having Bocanegra is the Holocaust?

Coach Charlie Atkinson is a good coach. I have had the opportunity to see him in action in both the field and player meetings. The players respond well to him. Kids feel that he cares and he demonstrates it with his actions towards them. Some post above say kids at Faulk don't defend themselves and take the abuse from Coach Atkinson, kids there are great. They are polite and well mannered, despite what the other side of town thinks. What does come eith his duties at Faulk is the having to get kids a meal here or there, some shoes, pants, shirts for school. Having to talk and convince parents that having their kids play is a positive thing for them. Some very successful present coaches played at Faulk. I know Coach is dedicated and puts in his time because even this week that he was off in vacation, he was spotted leaving the campus. Please do not hate if you don't know the whole picture. He is a good coach, he could coach at high school. Good luck to both Dr. A and Coach Atkinson, haters will hate.

Okay youve had your say butt muncher now crawl back up their ass.
- November 28, 2016 at 12:46 PM
12:46, please be polite. I don't know Dr Atkinson personally and I speak to Coach Charlie seldomly, thing is he is getting ripped and he does put in his work. Why people hate without knowing. I got good job with my work ethic, don't néed to suck up.
Good luck in your life, all your hate is a Cancer you have deep in your gut. Good luck with that.

The world's largest... (Associated Press) View 2 more images (Newser) – Google is set to launch its hush-hush rival to Facebook next month. Code-named "Maka-Maka," the watershed social networking service will introduce a completely open source platform and a slew of new applications. Details are scarce, but the vision is a social layer that combines all of Google's existing services—think GoogleChat, iGoogle, Orkut—and incorporates outside data, TechCrunch reports. The grand Maka-Maka plan won't come out all at once, and the first peek, expected sometime next week, will only try to match its competitors. The potentially Facebook-killing applications—which make piles of Google data available to outside developers and allow importing of Friendster, Twitter, or Digg information—won't be unleashed on unwitting consumers quite yet.

I am excited for Whitney's return but will I buy it? I'm not sure? Will I enjoy it? Possibly? Will I become addicted to it like I did say... the not so hott e=MC2? Which I loved despite not being musically brilliant? LoL... I probably will not. We will see. In the meantime... GO WHITNEY. And remember Wendy Williams is a Whitney Fan, grrl. Do the show! LoL.

Date: Thursday, 5 September 2013
Timing: 9.30 – 16.30 CET
Location: Brussels (address)
With the 2015 VAT Implementing Regulation now being adopted, which rounded the EU legislative framework, businesses that will be affected by the changes in legislation should now have a clearer picture of their 2015 footprint and the critical issues they need to address in the run-up to 2015.
The meeting will be held in English and is free of charge. Participation to the meeting is by invitation only. The meeting will focus on two main areas which we believe are key to further assist you in your 2015 case building and decision-making:
Follow-up to the adoption of the Implementing Regulation amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 282/2011 as regards the place of supply of services: Request for input from businesses to feed into the drafting of Explanatory Notes on the VAT treatment of telecommunications, broadcasting and electronic services.
As announced during our last meeting in June, the EU Commission (DG TAXUD) will draft Explanatory Notes to accompany the adopted 2015 implementing provisions and focusing on the practical implications of the various provisions regulated.
Given the need to proceed quickly, it is envisaged to organize a FISCALIS workshop in November to discuss draft Explanatory Notes and to finalize and publish them early 2014.
With a view to preparing Explanatory Notes, the Commission's services are inviting business, associations and VAT experts to submit their contributions at the latest by 16 September 2013 COB.
We will use the morning sessions of our Brussels meeting to discuss with you (1) which of the provisions need further clarification, (2) the scope of these clarifications and (3) the best approach to ensure that these clarifications are as future-proof as possible, leaving enough flexibility for businesses to innovate while also being workable and controllable for Tax Administrations.
B2C 2015 Audit & Control (SAF – MOSS): Format in which Member States will receive information from business for audit purposes
During our last meeting in June, Mr. Ludwig De Winter from the EU Commission gave an outline of the work in progress on the B2C 2015 audit methodology and the planned Fiscalis seminar on the audit and control of MOSS (12-13 September 2013, in Malmö).
Ine Lejeune has been invited to attend this Fiscalis seminar and will give a presentation on the needs and concerns from a VAT technical and business perspective.
Jean-Paul Mondon, our expert on process improvement and Standard Audit File for Tax (SAF-T), will also attend the seminar and is working with the Commission's services to share his experience.
We will use the afternoon sessions of our Brussels meeting to discuss with you (1) the needs and concerns from business and (2) the key messages to voice at the Malmö Fiscalis.
For more information on the B2C 2015 Working Group activities or if you are interested in joining our next meeting, please contact me directly.

A Texas touring company finds opera a home on the road
Faint hearts need not apply. That goes for fatties too: a brochure declares proudly that there are "no two-ton Teutons in our company." Still, it takes more than just a strong voice and a presentable shape to join up with the Texas Opera Theater.
A certain amount of vigor is required to get through the Houston-based company's long days; counting time for travel, set assembling and performances, the crew can work as many as 20 hours on a day when the main company is...

PARMA, Ohio -- Administrators are still investigating last week's bullying incident involving a student with developmental disabilities at Parma Senior High School, according to the school district's superintendent.
Five Parma Senior High School students and a substitute teacher are accused in connection with a bullying incident involving a student with a developmental disability that occurred Friday Feb. 28.
Superintendent Jeff Graham said Friday that he could not comment on the incident because it remains under investigation. He also said he could not comment on any discipline the students involved in the incident could be facing.
However, Graham said the district takes incidents of bullying very seriously.
"This is something that we've been taking seriously for a very long time," he said.
Parma police are also continuing to investigate the incident. The department said Thursday that, in addition to charges already filed against the students and substitute, more charges could be filed once a prosecutor reviews the case.
Two boys and one girl were cited for assault in connection with the incident, while two other boys were cited for disorderly conduct.
Substitute teacher Gregg Mellinger, 49, of North Ridgeville was also cited for endangering children, a first-degree misdemeanor, in connection with the incident. He is accused of witnessing the incident but not intervening to stop it, according to a police report.
The Renhill Group, a staffing agency with offices in Perrysburg and Independence, provided the district with the substitute. The group said Friday that Mellinger has been placed on unpaid leave pending the results of the investigation.
"We're deeply troubled by the allegations; the safety of the students of Ohio is our top priority," Renhill risk manager Tami Stansley said Friday.
Stansley said each of her company's substitute teachers is subject to Ohio Department of Education hiring requirements, including a background check, as well as any specific requirements a client might have.
She also said Renhill's substitutes receive extensive training, and that the company has an anti-bullying policy it distributes to new hires.
Several of Parma's schools have programs in place to curb bullying, according to the district. Additionally, the district has a hotline that allows people to report incidents of bullying anonymously via phone or email. The district's website also includes links to information about bullying.
Lorie Roan, the president of the Parma Council of PTAs, said in an email Thursday that she was "saddened and disgusted" by the incident, and that she hopes the five students and substitute teacher are held accountable and punished.
She also said most of Parma's PTA units have bullying programs; for example, Normandy High School's Rachel's Challenge program helps students and adults combat bullying.
"Although it is quite obvious from this horrible incident that more education and awareness needs to be done," she said in the email.
Parma school board president Sean Nicklos said in an email that the board is declining comment at this time; he directed questions about the incident to Graham.

Not long ago, the Open Solutions Alliance conducted its most recent commercial open source trends survey. This week, I talked with OSA president Dominic Sartorio via e-mail to get his thoughts on the results.
He said the OSA undertook the survey too gauge where the market is right now and how it has changed since last year's survey. Particularly, OSA members wanted to make sure they were concentrating on the right things. In other words, he said, "we wanted to make sure we weren't trying to solve last year's problems at the expense of this year's."
Many of the survey respondents said they have established active partnerships, both with each other and with proprietary software shops, including Microsoft. Since open source as a development method is based on collaboration, the fact that there are partnerships wasn't a surprise. But the volume of partnerships is a surprise, Sartorio said.
This is indeed validation of a concept we've been promoting, namely that the spirit of open collaboration and transparency for mutual benefit can be taken to the next level, from the realm of individual developers to the realm of commercial organizations.
And the fact that many are working with Microsoft? They're doing that because it's what customers want, according to Sartorio. He said:
Most business will adopt whatever seems to best address a business objective at the time, and sometimes that will be an open source product, sometimes not. The result is a mix of technologies that the IT staff then needs to integrate and manage. Consequently, the requirement on the vendor community to ensure this interoperability is possible.
Software-as-a-service is also affecting commercial open source, he said, because it's changing the way open source companies go to market. Here's why:
Customers don't care where their solutions come from, only that they solve their business problems and the cost of ownership is right. Moreover, mid-market especially is more likely to accept products as-is, and less likely to want to customize the code, consequently SaaS is a good fit.

When I first read about this movie—a bicycle-messenger action flick—I mentally filed it under 'vapid teen extreme-sports movie.' You know, the rebellious group of fringe high school kids who turn to skateboarding/hip hop/BMX-racing/competitive hair-styling/interpretative dance to channel their angst and succeed in life. Then, three little words caught my eye: Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Since his brilliant indie-film comeback, (500) Days of Summer, the man can do no wrong. Well, he can do a little wrong.
The premise is simple. Gordon-Levitt plays Wilee, a Columbia Law School graduate who can't bring himself to take a desk job, so he works as a bike messenger. At the end of his shift one day, he has one final run: a small white envelope that needs to go from Columbia to Chinatown. If you guessed the envelope was important and valuable and dangerous, and that bad people were trying to stop the delivery, give yourself a gold star.
And that's it, cat and mouse. The real star of the show is the cycling— the psychotic Manhattan street cycling. If you've either almost killed a bike messenger or been killed by one, you know what I mean. If Joseph Gordon-Levitt did his own stunts, then he definitely has some experience in the field. He's a talented guy, but I cannot tell you to run right out and see this one. It's a 5.

Formerly one of the world's most powerful fund managers, he said any threat to leave the EU would be detrimental.
At a dinner at the World Economic Forum, he revealed that the market was betting that sterling would fall in value. Asked if he would once again bet against the pound — as he famously did during the Exchange Rate Mechanism crisis - he said: "the markets are … I've retired".
Mr Soros said the UK was in the perfect position at present as a member of the EU but not a member of the eurozone.
"Any change in that status will be detrimental and less favourable to Britain. It [the referendum] is a very dangerous gambit which could end up in Britain leaving." He added austerity was the "wrong policy at this time", but quantitative easing was the right policy: "You can only grow your way out of excessive debt. You can't shrink your way out of it."
Mr Soros said the euro was in danger of "destroying the EU" because of Germany's insistence on austerity for the "debtor countries". Angela Merkel said it would take two to three years for the reforms to take effect. Mr Soros said that the German chancellor "might be right" in five years' time if she changes her mind".

Indefinite shutdown begins in Darjeeling
The indefinite shutdown by the GJM, fighting for a separate Gorkhaland state in northern West Bengal, begins in the Darjeeling Hills.india Updated: Jun 16, 2008 20:28 IST
The indefinite shutdown convened by the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha, fighting for a separate Gorkhaland state in northern West Bengal, began in the Darjeeling Hills on Monday evening with a call from the party chief that people should stock up on food and essential supplies for 45 days.
"The shutdown has started. Our workers are picketing several roads," GJM general secretary Roshan Giri told IANS over phone.
Tea gardens, cinchona plantations and school and college examinations have been kept outside the purview of the shutdown, that started at 6 p.m.on Monday in the three hill subdivisions of Darjeeling district - Darjeeling, Kurseong and Kalimpong.
Giri said GJM president Bimal Gurung has asked the people in the hills to stock up food and essential supplies that could last up to 45 days.
"But that does not mean that we are calling a 45-day shutdown. Ours is an indefinite agitation," he said.
The GJM has exempted the plains areas of the district - Silguri, Dooars and Terai - from the shutdown, but a conflict seemed to be brewing between the party and the administration over the GJM's decision to conduct relay hunger strikes in these areas.
"The administration is trying to scuttle the hunger strike by banning assembly of more than four people in parts of Siliguri and Dooars. We will not be cowed down by these moves," Giri said.
Siliguri sub-divisional officer Smita Pandey said with the prohibitory orders in force in three police station areas in and around Siliguri, "Nobody will be allowed to participate in hunger strike".
"And nobody has sought permission for us for any such agitation also," she said.
Earlier in the day, people rushed to stock up on supplies and trucks snaked up the hills to carry essentials in readiness for the shutdown.
As long queues formed outside shops, the GJM, which Sunday renewed the call for an indefinite shutdown, also stepped up calls for the resignation of state Urban Development Minister Ashok Bhattacharya.
The GJM president called Bhattacharya the mastermind behind the attacks on pro-Gorkhaland activists June 8 at Siliguri and the Dooars and stepped up calls for his arrest.
"The CPI-M men beat up our supporters and ransacked their homes. And they also instigated some Bengali-speaking outfits to attack our workers. We called the shutdown not only to press for a separate Gorkhaland state, but also to force the administration to arrest Bhattacharya and others involved in such atrocities," Gurung told IANS from Darjeeling.
Gurung said he would lead a delegation of his party's senior central committee members to New Delhi in the last week of June to brief top national leaders, including those from the main opposition parties, on their demand for Gorkhaland.
According to sub-divisional officer, Kalimpong, P.T. Sherpa, prices of essential commodities have shot up after the last shutdown following a supply shortage.
Senior police officers held a meeting in Darjeeling town on Sunday night to discuss security arrangements and ways to prevent any breach of peace during the agitation.
"We are monitoring the situation closely. We don't think there is any need to deploy the Central Reserve Police Force in the hills now," said Inspector General of Police (North Bengal) Kundan Lal Tamta.
The GJM had last week on Tuesday called for the indefinite shutdown in the hills, but given a 60-hour relaxation on Wednesday to enable thousands of stranded tourists reach the plains.
The party then deferred the agitation to Monday evening.
Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has called an all-party meeting in Kolkata on Tuesday to discuss the issue, but the GJM has been kept out of the deliberations.
The chief minister separately invited the GJM for a dialogue on June 18, but the hill party turned down his request and instead called for tripartite talks with the central and state governments.
With the Gorkhaland demand triggering violence in the Darjeeling Hills, Siliguri and the Dooars in the past few days, tea and tourism - the bread and butter of the region - has been severely hit.
The GJM has been leading the movement in the hills for a separate state, besides opposing the Sixth Schedule status for Darjeeling district that ensures greater autonomy to the district's governing body Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council.

Xscorch is a rewrite of Scorched Earth for *NIXes by Justin Smith.
As in Scorched Earth, the idea is simple: You and the opponents are sitting in/beside tanks/turrets/cannons on mountainy terrain (shown from the side), and try to shoot each other using all sorts of ballistic ideas, weird weapons and things like that - before you get killed. The winners get money with which to buy more stuff with.
While XScorch doesn't have all of the features of Scorched Earth (no parachutes, for example, and no sound effects of any kind!), it has most of them - and everything that's needed for jolly good fun. You can punish fellow humans or computer players (network support also included) using variety of missiles; nuclear weapons of all kinds are also included. The nuke arsenal includes the classic Funky Bomb (one big blast and several randomly dispersed smaller ones) and Death's Head (the nuke with many HUGE warheads)... and the Annihilator that blows away half of the screenful of dirt. Some other weapons like napalm (of course!) are there, and as a welcome addition there's a Death's Head-like firebomb called Black Rain that doesn't really help the opponent to quit smoking...
XScorch has, as noted, a computer player - and like in Scorched Earth, the tank drivers, both AI ones and the humans, can also yell interesting comments (such as "I shall oil my turret with your blood") to other players. =)
All in all, a game that is a lot of fun, even when it's not all that glittery. If you haven't played XScorch (or Scorched Earth), you don't know what "overkill" means.)

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Baltimore, Columbia, Ellicott City and Maryland
Specializing in Brazilian Butt Lifts since 1998, Dr. Markmann has perfected the "Markmann Method" for his patients in the Baltimore area.
During this procedure, fat is removed from one part of the body, and injected it into the buttocks. The fat is typically removed from the flank areas along with the waistline and abdomen to lift the buttocks and provide a more youthful appearance. The ideal candidate for this procedure should have a healthy skin tone. Patients with loose skin may not be the best candidates for a Brazilian butt lift.
During the initial consultation, the body will be assessed so that it can be determined where to perform liposuction in order to extract the necessary amount of fat needed to perform the transfer. Multiple donor sites may be considered. The fat will be removed and grafted for a healthy, effective transfer. It will then be injected through a syringe into the buttocks. This process will take place over several steps, and many layers may be used until the desired result is achieved. The incisions from a Brazilian butt lift are very small and thus scarring after the procedure is minimal.
Before & After Photos
A Brazilian butt lift is considered an outpatient procedure and is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility.
Following surgery, patients are encouraged to relax and focus on a peaceful recovery. They should avoid stress and strain, but may be asked to gradually increase their physical activity. Dr. Markmann can explain in greater detail how the recovery from a Brazilian butt lift should be navigated.
BBL recipients will experience swelling and bruising in both the fat removal areas as well as on the buttocks. Dr. Markmann recommends a period of 3 weeks of no sitting and minimizing bending at the hip. Dr. Markmann recommends a compression garment to aid in the healing process, minimizing swelling and maximizing fat survival.
If you have any questions about your recovery, please don't hesitate to contact our office.
Bumpy Appearance?
If the injections are done correctly, the result will look and feel natural. During the procedure, additional liposuction may be used to help smooth out uneven skin, as well as ensure that the surface has a correct and even contour. It is important to find a reputable and highly-skilled surgeon with a special expertise in performing the Brazilian butt lift surgery.
Fat Transfer or Implants?
Both techniques are commonly used by cosmetic surgeons and can achieve good results. Some patients simply do not want a foreign device in their body and feel that the fat transfer method is safe and natural. A disadvantage of fat transfers, however, is that they may not last as long as an implant. Some of the injected fat will absorb naturally into the body. It is important to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each technique during the consultation so the right decision can be made.
Weight Gain?
Weight gain could compromise the results of the surgery. For the best long-term results, patients should maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.

Less than you would have liked
preparation time
18 months to 1 infinity
cooking time
Serves: 1
Submitted by: Fuckerty Happens
From: The Good-Kicking Guide
Fuckerty Happens scores a
debilitating hat-trick with this
delectable human sponge
soaked in ailments and filled
with suffering.
- 225g human body, tormented beyond recognition by contrary symptoms
- 225g conflicting diagnoses
- 225g assortment of strong prescription medications
- 4 medical professionals examining the body from their own specialised areas of expertise
- 225g hair-raising incidents where nobody knows what is wrong or why the patient is not responding in the expected manner
- finely grated nerves of one person
For the drizzle topping
- Juice of one tortured soul
- 85g distress and pain, to be applied daily
Per slice
0 kcalories, Trihexyphenidyl Benzhexol 5g, Rizatriptan Benzoate Wafers (Oral Lyophilisate) 50g, Clonazepam 1g, Prochlorperazine Maleate Buccal 13g, Hypromellose Eye Drops 0.3% w/v 21 g, Amitriptyline Hydrochloride 33g, Polyethylene Oxide (GHF) Lozenges 0.3 g
Preparation method
1. Heat the body to 220°C/fan 290°C/Gas Mark 9 for at least 30 minutes. Wait until it is sweating profusely and then plunge down to 90°C/fan 110°C/Gas Mark ¼. Continue to alternate the temperature changes until the sponge mixture begins to bloom.
In human sponges, "bloom" refers to constant tremors and spasms which leave the sponge in a weakened state that demonstrates that all is not well and that there has been separation of the sponge from its physical self. It does not mean that the sponge is no longer usable; rather, this is a clear indication that things are no longer working correctly.
2. Beat together 225g human body, tormented beyond recognition by contrary symptoms and 225g conflicting diagnoses until pale and flimsy.
3. Add 4 medical professionals examining the body from their own specialised areas of expertise; one at a time, slowly mixing until the greatest consistency of confusion and professional mistrust has been achieved.
4. Bake for 6 months and then insert a thin skewer into the centre of the sponge – causing its symptoms to manifest drastically enough to require being rushed to hospital in an ambulance: where she will be informed that she is not having a Stroke.
5. Combine 225g assortment of strong prescription medications with 225g hair-raising incidents where nobody knows what is wrong or why the patient is not responding in the expected manner and knead over and over. If performed correctly, this will conclude in all test results coming back as "Normal".
6. While the sponge is cooling at the hospital, mix together the juice of its tortured soul and 85g distress and pain to make the drizzle.
7. On return to its tin-abode, prick the semi-conscious sponge all over with a skewer of discomfort, then pour over the drizzle and leave the sponge to absorb. The juice will sink in and the distress and pain will form a lovely, crisp coating that will numb the sponge's perception of its environment and cloud its thoughts.
8. Repeat Step 7 on a daily basis. Pour as much of the drizzle mixture onto the sponge as you can. If the sponge becomes reluctant or too feeble to absorb any more liquid, leave for a short period and then repeat the process. Adding more strong prescription medications at this juncture could help the sponge to rise slightly – allowing it to absorb more drizzle.
9. Repeat Steps 1-7 as often as mood dictates over a period of another 12 months. It is essential that this process not be rushed.
10. For a fuller flavour of human misery, exponentially increase the number of medical professionals. We have found that anything up to 12 helps the confusion consistency to thicken heartily.
11. Place the sponge on a cooling rack from time to time. The regular resting periods will lull her into the false belief that things might be settling down and that the worst has come and gone. When this is proved false, sprinkle in the finely grated nerves of one person and watch what happens.
This sponge is charmingly decrepit and gets more maudlin and infirm with time. It makes a great topic for whispered conversation and visitors can never resist staring and marvelling at what happened to the person they knew.
Store in an airtight clear plastic container somewhere within the home so that the sponge can view the world around her and periodically wonder where it all went wrong.
Useful Information
Can it be frozen?
Yes. The sponge can be left in this highly agitated state for an indefinite period of time.
Can it be prepared in advance?
Yes, the symptoms can be brewing up for several months in advance – even without the knowledge of the sponge.
Will leftovers be nice?
Sometimes. If the symptoms are recognisable to medical professionals, they may then be able to provide a management system for keeping the sponge fresh(ish).
Fuckerty says…
Having put so much effort into making the human sponge, take a bit of time to wrap it up in hospital appointments and waiting lists. Sheets of medical procedures and testing are great and can be tied together like festive ribbons and decorations. Or look out for verbal battles with medical professionals, which will make the sponge feel really depleted and can be used again repeatedly.

Different types of cosmetics jobs include performing makeup application services, selling cosmetics and the development and manufacturing of cosmetics. Each type of job requires different training, and in some cases, licensing. There are several personal appearance jobs that can involve applying makeup to clients, including those of makeup artist, aesthetician and cosmetologist. There are also numerous jobs involved in the sale and marketing of cosmetics, including direct sales, working in a retail store or involvement in promoting various cosmetics brands and lines. Other types of cosmetics jobs include participating in the manufacturing of makeup by doing market research or directly developing new types of cosmetics.
Perhaps the best known of various cosmetics jobs, is that of the makeup artist. Makeup artists apply makeup to clients in a variety of contexts. Some makeup artists make up the faces of individuals for special occasions, such as weddings or may teach individuals how to appropriately apply makeup to their own faces. Other makeup artist may work in the entertainment or publishing industries, applying cosmetics on the faces and bodies of models and actors. In some jurisdictions, a makeup artist must be licensed as a cosmetologist or aesthetician before practicing makeup artistry for compensation.
Other types of cosmetics jobs involve selling cosmetics. Many retail stores include cosmetics departments along with specially trained salespeople who can help customers in choosing cosmetics. Another option for those who would prefer to not sell cosmetics in the context of a retail store is to become a cosmetics salesperson for direct sales company. These individuals can sell cosmetics directly to family and friends on a commission basis and are not generally considered to be employees of the companies that they represent. These sales often take place in people's homes or at their office and involve a hands-on demonstration of various cosmetics and application techniques.
Other cosmetics jobs do not involve direct contact with customers or clients. Some cosmetics researchers review market data in order to understand which types of cosmetics the public is interested in and then passing along this information to cosmetic company executives. Scientists who work for these companies can then use this information to develop cosmetics that can address the specific needs and concerns of cosmetic users. The marketing department of a cosmetics manufacturer will then develop advertising campaigns in other types of consumer outreach that can motivate users to purchase and use the newly developed cosmetics.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!
