Hot Off the Press! Ham, Cheese and Peach Panini
Well, a few things have changed my attitude towards doing a sandwich video. One would be the shocking success of the inside-out grilled cheese sandwich video (done mostly as a goof), which showed me that these things could put butts in the seats.
Secondly, I received a panini press from IMUSA that I really wanted to try out. I decided to create a sandwich worthy of such a test, and what you see here is the delicious result – a ham, cheese and peach panini, or as I now call it, my new favorite sandwich.
The lightly smoked ham, sharp white cheddar, and sweet/tart peach preserves pressed between the crunchy, buttery bread was an absolutely stunning combination. I know I say this all the time, but I really hope you give this a try. Enjoy!
About the IMUSA Panini Press Grill
You know I don't do a lot of product endorsements, but once in a while I get to test something that I really like, and when that happens I like to share the info. For the record, IMUSA sent me this press free of charge, so you can take that for what it's worth. By the way, the letters going around the grill don't relate to anything, I just thought they looked cool.
This grill heats up quickly. It was ready to go in just a few minutes. There are no controls. It's on or off, so there's no guesswork with temperatures. Just put in the sandwich and check back in 5 minutes. That was it.
I also like that it's a flat, not grooved grill. You can argue the grooves make for a better appearance, but this model is clearly easier to clean (I just used a paper towel).
I don't like to look at product reviews until I've formed my own opinion, so after I finished the video I popped over to Amazon and saw that this model was very well received. That's what I expected, but it's nice to have my findings corroborated. For more info, here's a link to the product page.

Hey Chef John!
Lol! I must admit that I was slightly suprised when I saw your "Ham, Cheese and Peach Panini" post, thinking to myself "dear God, a PANINI POST???"
After watching though, I became pleasantly suprised... I don't know how you do it, but even a panini looks classy when you make it! Keep up the great work, and I'm really greatful and thankful that you post these delicious recipes for free!!!
Have a great day, hugs from Switzerland!

I love the idea of adding a fruity jam to a sandwich. I don't have a panini machine, but I will improvise by making a grill cheese sandwich.

Hello from germany! First time poster, too, but I have been lurking around foodwishes for a while now. I can honestly say, that have watched almost every single video - just skipping the seafood ones since I don't like fish, yes, shoot me, but that's just how it is. Your videos really impressed me - and they were helpful. Mostly because you really let people look into your pots. How many times have I wondered what the consistency of a sauce should be, too much liquid, not enough, it was driving me nuts.
Not anymore! And by the way - you could do a video about how to cook rocks and people would watch it anyway. I know I would! *laugh* Keep it up and I hope you have fun making these videos for a long, long time.

My boyfriend has made me sometimes sandwiches of gouda cheese (yeah he is Dutch) with cherry jam on them. They were omnomnomnom.
I guess in a way is like putting ketchup or so really.

Just recently found your food blog, thanks to my son. I've made the cured lemons and I'm waiting with bated breath to learn what I will be doing with them. I fixed the grilled ham, cheese and peach panini for supper last night, and it was to die for. I find myself at your blog more than anything else I do with my computer watching the videos, and now I find myself in the grocery store and the kitchen more and loving it.

I'm a bit dubious about the way your pannini press tells you it's ready, though. I think having a light on would be better. I'd be concerned about someone thinking it was off and accidentally burning themselves on a hot press.
Other than that, it looks like it works As Advertised.

If it's plugged in, the red light is always on when the unit is hot. the green light going off, just means its preheated.

I'm glad to hear peaches and ham do go well together on a sandwich. It looks amazing in the video! I'm planning to try peaches, prosciutto and fresh mozzarella panini this weekend.

Can Ham, be under heated would this cause food illness?
How about chicken cooked of course but reheating as a panini does it re heat to the required temperature?
Thanks Andy

ham is safe.
chicken can't say, but i wouldnt worry

I recently discovered your blog and love it. I am going to make some recipies but I am afraid I'll increase the amount of salt and other spicies and keep the rest of the recipe intact. Actually I live in Pakistan and if you know how hot Indian/Pakistani food is, you'll understand why Western/europoean food tastes bland to us at times.
I love the way u explain and your videos are great.
- July 6, 2010 at 1:23 PM
Awsome as allways.
In my home town (Oporto in Portugal) we have on of the ultimate sandwich meal the "francesinha" it's a meat (steak, sausage, a kind of chourizo and cured ham) sandwich covered with cheese (later melted) with hot(veryyy hot) spicy sauce on top usually served with french fries, sunny side up egg or even shrimp. But the magic is in the sauce,is very hard to get a good sauce combination. It's a complete bomb and a tradicional meal here.
- July 20, 2010 at 3:00 PM
can i make this on a non stick pan on the stove instead? i have a sandwich press but it's not flat but sort of a grooved grill instead and it's not hinged in the center so the top might be brown on 1 end only if i use it.

Sure, you can just grill in a pan like a toasted cheese

Seeing how things in life typically come full circle, I completely understand how and why our little Elfis decided to "wrap" the Christmas tree last night while the kiddos slept.
When I was your age, as the the wise old man begins his life lesson, I too had my occasional late-night, house-sneaking-out, mischievous adventures amongst the neighborhoods of my hometown.
At least Elfis had nice form and managed to get a roll of toilet paper up-and-over the bow on top of the tree. Overall, he had a nice composition of paper vs. green.

View the Hitlist Review from November 2014 Issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine by Michael Dregni
"Robert Johnson is the most important blues musician who ever lived. I have never found anything more deeply soulful. His music remains the most powerful cry that I think you can find in the human voice." – Eric Clapton
"Robert Johnson's music sent me reeling. I couldn't even imagine how someone could play the guitar the way he did and sing at the same time." – Bonnie Raitt
Robert Johnson is arguably the most well known figure in the history of the blues. Though the 29 songs Johnson recorded from 1936-1937 had little impact during his lifetime, a collection of his singles, entitled King of the Delta Blues Singers was released in 1961 and found widespread recognition. Then, 30 years later, The Complete Recordings of Robert Johnson was released selling over one million copies. The first blues recording to do so, winning a Grammy in the process.
Since that 1961 LP, players from all different musical backgrounds have sought to learn Robert Johnson's techniques and in this 3 DVD set, with over 5 hours and 52 minutes of instruction, Tom Feldmann covers every aspect of Johnson's playing. Each song is performed by Feldmann before he dissects the arrangement verse-by-verse and ends with a split screen segment where the song is played slowly with close up shots of both the left and right hands. This is the most expansive look into the guitar playing of Robert Johnson produced in video form.
DVD ONE: STANDARD TUNING: Kind Hearted Woman, Phonograph Blues, 32-20 Blues, A Blues Variations (Dead Shrimp Blues, Little Queen of Spades, Honeymoon Blues), I'm a Steady Rolling Man, Sweet Home Chicago, Love In Vain, From Four 'Til Late DROP D TUNING: Malted Milk CROSS NOTE TUNING: Hellhound on my Trail
DVD TWO: SPANISH TUNING: Stop Breakin' Down Blues, Walking Blues, Come On In My Kitchen, Last Fair Deal Gone Down, Stones In My Passway with Variations for Terraplane Blues and Milkcow Blues, Cross Road Blues, Traveling Riverside Blues
DVD THREE: SPANISH TUNING: If I Had Possession Over Judgement Day, VESTAPOL TUNING (OPEN E TUNING): Rambling on my Mind, I Believe I'll Dust My Broom, Preaching Blues, STANDARD TUNING: They're Red Hot
352 minutes • Level 3 • Detailed tab/music booklet PDF file included on each DVD
Review: Over the intervening decades since Robert Johnson cut his 29 monolithic sides in 1936 and 1937, countless manhours have been spent by countless guitarists hunched over spinning 78s, then LPs, then CDs, and now spinless MP3s, desperately trying to latch onto the mystical powers inherent in those songs - in that sound - which launched as many legions of rockers as of bluesmen. With Johnson's direct apostles below ground - Robert Lockwood, Honeyboy Edwards, Johnny Shines (who thrice returns, via bonus performance footage) - Tom Feldmann is your best possible instructor. The country blues junkie has put in those countless hours intensively detailing everything from the lemon squeezing "Traveling Riverside Blues" to the tamale-peddling "They're Red Hot" - so that you don't have to. He's got the complete canon down cold (come on, both takes of "Cross Road Blues" get dissected here). Right down to that spine-tingling 'howling wind' slide lick dripping down "Come On in My Kitchen." Even down to that momentary flash of wickedness in the fourth verse of "Walking Blues" when string bends actually snap. With calm coaching, you'll run the existential table from the Son House knockoff of "Preaching Blues" to "Hellhound on My Trail," with a "Malted Milk" break in between. Besides using the slo-mo split-screen, Feldmann makes learning easier by wisely corralling similar pieces, as when taking advantage of the structural relationship between "Terraplane Blues" and "Milkcow's Calf Blues" with "Stones in My Passway." Tremendous clout resides within three how-to DVDs, for herein lie both the kindling and the spark which lit the firestorm of modern blues and rock. So the calculus is simple: Six hours of one-on-one Robert Johnson instruction equals essential. – Dennis Rozanski/Blues Rag

What is that drives one to write a theater piece?
I remember the time I was eleven I wanted to write a play. No simple play but something like Shakespeare would have. It never struck me as impossible. I had not read the Bard but heard him spoken about by the grown ups. Of course it was as good as written.
So I sat down to write and of course four lines and I could not go beyond. It was my first brush with reality that I could appreciate.
I still recall my play more or less.
King: 'Who goes there?'
servant: I your majesty!
King angrily: call my son,prince!
Of course these many words would not have seen the light of day in my transcription book but for home theatricals my eldest sister organized from time to time. She being 5 years older to me directed the play. She also decided parts but we spoke lines off the cuff. She always took the plum role. Once she was the queen and I the prince, her son. My elder brother took the role of an evil genie. He brought for the occasion his prop, a blanket. My sister thought it would do. When he wore it he became invisible. None of us took it otherwise.
The play was going on smoothly. Till the prince had to make love. Had I known well then I would have called my self Hamlet. Of course I didn't. My younger sister, nine was the poor girl to whom I had to speak my feelings. So I said how I loved her and would bring nice goodies and so on.
It was her turn and she said,'But you must not leave me holding the baby'.
That shut me up. I didn't have a reply to that. Was it the awful feeling of truth (that child gets to hear of family scandals?)0r lack of an equally strong line to match? I do not know. It stopped however my playacting for good.
Of course I wrote a few plays later as an exercise and I know I would not bother reading them. It was merely derivative and weak lacking life experience.
My attempt to write like Shakespeare was a kind of awakening to my world and my attempt to write was my urge to speak with my own voice of that world. My life experience was the means to flesh them out.

Kai Ukulele offers a bride range of Ukuleles using special wood types as mango or pacific walnut. Kai Ukuleles are built with a second soundhole on the upper frame.

As our plane approached the airport in Guatemala City, Amanda Paniagua, MedShare's Shipments Manager, leans over and opens the window shade. As she looked out, she said, "look, we are in another country!" Indeed, we were. Once again a MedShare team was on its way to learn about our medical aid recipients and explore with them how we can best partner to improve healthcare for those in most need.
Along with Amanda are myself, Josh Kravitz, COO, and Terry Monday, Volunteer Manager for MedShare's Western Region. Our mission on this trip was to dive into the Guatemalan medical community to learn just who will be our best partner hospitals over the next year or two and truly understand their unique needs. Without a doubt, we prepared to leave this wonderful country with a better understanding that will lead to even higher quality medical aid shipments.
Since 2000, MedShare has shipped twenty-seven containers of medical aid and supplied countless MedTeams helping the Guatemalan people. We had a lot of options to start from, but chose to visit with two of our most trusted corporate partners, Dole and Kimberly-Clark. In the last few years, Dole has provided shipping for seven 40-foot containers on their vessels. While none have been to Guatemala, we were eager to learn how they are working to improve healthcare for the people here. As expected, they are working to improve lives in this important banana-growing region and are starting some new projects that MedShare hopes to help with.
It was in 2001 that MedShare sent our first container with Kimberly-Clark to Guatemala and we were excited to see the results of our numerous containers since. We started with a visit to the Hospital Materno Infantil, where we were overjoyed to see a facility that provided not only high level care, but paying great respect to the families they served. Though the hospital may have been low on resources, they stretched themselves as far as they could while continuing to honor their patients with services that would satisfy any North American. Most impressive was their ability to build a sterilization capability with similar capacity of a US hospital. Following several visits to small clinics, we ended the first day by seeking some advice from the nuns at the Central American headquarters for the Daughters of Charity, as introduced to us by Accession Healthcare. In MedShare's efforts to only work with the most honest and professional partners, we must seek advice from those who truly know local needs.
The following day, we met with Food for the Poor and their long time partner, the Knights of Malta. It goes without saying how impressed we were that together these two organizations partner to accept and distribute an average of two containers of medical and food aid every day. MedShare was proud to most recently have shipped a container of hospital beds from our Western Region in aid of their mission. Our first hospital stop was to visit their recipients at the National Hospital in Antigua, and we were shocked to see moldy ceilings, rusty beds and crumbling walls. The desperate situation became overwhelmingly real when we saw premature babies being warmed by nothing more than a floor lamp with an incandescent light bulb; a similar set-up to what caused an infant's finger to be burned off at one of our recipient hospitals years earlier. Despite challenging circumstances, this hospital has amazingly set up Guatemala's first breast milk bank so babies in crisis can still benefit from this simple, but fortifying nutrition. We finished this day by visiting the world famous Obras Sociales del Santo Hermano Pedro that conducts the highest quality services for the poor from orthopedic surgeries to caring for the mentally disabled.
It was difficult to imagine we could see anything more heartbreaking or inspiring, but the trip went on. Wednesday began with a visit to the national hospital in Solola. This government hospital that serves primarily an indigenous and extremely poor population struggles to survive on an adequate budget that leaves them no choice but to operate with only one nurse for every 15 patients. We were shown intermediate care units with almost no working monitors, an operating room filled with broken equipment and a patient ward that reeked of urine and was filled with ancient mattresses on rusted beds. Again, the facility persevered and managed to establish a blood bank where patients' families could donate blood. This day ended on an extraordinary note with a visit to Dr. Louis Flores who is using his 401K money to build a clinic for one of the poorest villages on Lake Atitlan. This fascinating doctor, who recently retired to his native Guatemala after decades with the Mayo Clinic, will spend his "leisure" years giving nearly free care to one of the most medically under-resourced communities in the country. Then, just stay busy, Dr. Flores also hopes to teach painting to villagers on the weekend.
The trip concluded with an energizing stop at the Hospilito Atitlan in Santiago de Guatemala with the extraordinary mission of providing for the preventative, maternal and emergency health needs of the Lake Atitlan's indigenous population. Through the interesting use of battery back-ups, generators, water purification, highly-trained staff, quality equipment and state of the art facilities, this hospital, with MedShare's partnership, offers care at low or no cost to a population that can easily be called the "poorest of the poor" in a way that surpasses what even the United States' best free clinics and public hospitals provide. Recently, MedShare shipped a container of medical aid to Hospitalito Atitlan in May 2010 that was sponsored by Mr. Bill Cuneo from Northern CA.
Once again, this visit proved that under almost unbearable circumstances, people can find creative solutions to seemingly insurmountable odds. When most give up, our Guatemalan partners innovate. When many accept social injustice, our partners fight. When few succeed, our partners excel.
Amanda, Terry and I wish to thank the many who made this expedition possible, including Dole, Kimberly-Clark, Accession Health, Food for the Poor, Knights of Malta and former MedShare board chair Bonnie O'Neill. We are also grateful for the always important advice from MedShare staff and board members who helped craft a wonderful itinerary, including Stephanie Greene, Nell Diallo, Chuck Haupt and Pat Robinson.

Rashomon, playing at 8pm on TCM on the 23rd
After several weeks of lead-up, we're almost up to the actual centennial of Akira Kurosawa's birth, and TCM is blowing out with a nearly 24-hour marathon of his work on the 23rd. Several of the films being shown are ones that Row Three is also covering in a Kurosawa tribute, including Sanjuro and Dodes 'Ka-Den, for which there are already reviews up, and there will be more soon, so keep an eye on Row Three for all the write-ups. Also, check out the Ray Harryhausen triple feature coming up on Friday, more Ginger Rogers films overnight on Wednesday, and a pair each of Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati films late Sunday/early Monday. As well as, of course, our usual crop of repeats on IFC, Sundance, and TCM.
Monday, March 22
4:00am – TCM – Some Like It Hot
After musicians Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon unwittingly witness the St. Valentines Day Massacre, they have to escape the mob by impersonating women and joining an all-girls band. The fact that Marilyn Monroe is the band's lead singer doesn't help them stay undercover. Easily one of the greatest comedies ever put on film.
1959 USA. Director: Billy Wilder. Starring: Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Joe E. Brown, George Raft.
Must See
6:30am – IFC – My Life as a Dog
Lasse Hallstrom gives us this simple but effective coming-of-age story, focusing on the every day life of a young boy as he's sent to live in a provincial village after acting out at home.
1985 Sweden. Director: Lasse Hallstrom. Starring: Anton Glanzelius, Tomas von Brömssen, Anki Lidén, Melinda Kinnaman.
(repeats at 1:30pm)
8:00pm – TCM – The Big Sleep
One of the greatest detective/mysteries/films noir ever made. Humphrey Bogart is the definite hard-boiled detective, Lauren Bacall is the potential love interest/femme fatale. Don't try to follow the story; whodunit is far less important than crackling dialogue and dry humor. Watch out for future Oscar-winner Dorothy Malone (Written on the Wind) in the small but extremely memorable part of the bookshop girl.
1946 USA. Director: Howard Hawks. Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Martha Vickers, Elisha Cook Jr., Dorothy Malone.
Must See
10:00pm – TCM – The Maltese Falcon
Humphrey Bogart inhabits the role of Dashiell Hammett's private eye Sam Spade, creating one of the definitive on-screen hard-boiled detective (vying only with Bogart's Philip Marlowe in The Big Sleep, really). Not mention setting the early benchmark for noir films.
1941 USA. Director: John Huston. Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Elisha Cook Jr, Walter Huston.
Must See
2:00am (23rd) – TCM – Stagecoach
Major breakthrough for John Wayne, here playing outlaw Cisco Kid – he and the various other people on a stagecoach form a cross-section of old West society that has to learn to get on together to make it to the end of the ride alive. Excellent performances and stunt-filled action sequences make this one of the best westerns ever made.
1939 USA. Director: John Wayne. Starring: John Wayne, Claire Trevor, John Carradine, Andy Devine, Thomas Mitchell.

6:00am – TCM – Akira Kurosawa Marathon
Today would be Akira Kurosawa's 100th birthday were he still alive, and after a month of weekly primetime Kurosawa mini-marathons, TCM is giving this day and night over entirely to his films, starting with a series of ones that I've frankly never heard of, and then bringing out the big guns starting with Rashomon at 8pm. I'm just going to list them below. Remember to check out Row Three for reviews of several of the films TCM is playing today or played earlier in the month.
Sanshiro Sugata, The Most Beautiful, The Men Who Tread on the Tiger's Tail, Sanshiro Sugata Part 2, No Regrets for Our Youth, One Wonderful Sunday, Drunken Angel, Stray Dog, Rashomon, The Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Dodes 'Ka-Den.

8:30am – IFC – Broadway Danny Rose
It's lesser Woody Allen, but it's still Woody Allen. Danny Rose (Woody) is a theatrical agent whose clients always leave him when they start becoming successful. His current client, a has-been tenor trying to make a comeback, gives him further grief by having an affair with a young woman (Mia Farrow) with gangster connections. Not very substantial, but enjoyable.
1984 USA. Director: Woody Allen. Starring: Woody Allen, Mia Farrow, Nick Apollo Forte.
(repeats at 1:30pm)
10:00am – IFC – Millions
In this Danny Boyle film, a young British boy finds a bag with millions of pounds in it; the catch is that Britain is days away from switching to the euro, so the money will soon be worthless. The shifting ethical questions combined with a sometimes almost Pulp Fiction-esque style and a fascinating religious backdrop (I'm still not sure where he was going with that) at the very least means an intriguing couple of hours.
2004 UK. Director: Danny Boyle. Starring: Alex Etel, Lewis McGibbon, James Nesbitt, Daisy Donovan, Christopher Fulford.
(repeats at 3:25pm)
Wednesday, March 24
8:00pm – Sundance – The Lives of Others
If any film had to beat out Pan's Labyrinth for the Best Foreign Film Oscar, I'm glad it was one as good as The Lives of Others. A surveillance operator is assigned to eavesdrop on a famous writer who may be working against the government regime – he's torn in both directions when he starts sympathizing with his subject. It's really well done in tone and narrative, with a great performance by the late Ulrich Mühe.
2006 Germany. Director: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. Ulrich Mühe, Sebastian Koch, Martina Gedeck, Ulrich Tukur, Thomas Theime.
(repeats at 3:25am on the 25th)
9:45pm – TCM – Bachelor Mother
A very slight but rather charming Ginger Rogers vehicle that for some reason I like far more than I probably should. Ginger is a struggling department store clerk who happens by an orphanage just after someone leaves a baby there; she's mistaken for the mother and through a series of miscommunications with the orphanage and her boss at the store (David Niven), ends up having to take the baby. It's fairly silly at times, but also kind of heartwarming, and Ginger's honestly at her best here.
1939 USA. Director: Garson Kanin. Starring: Ginger Rogers, David Niven, Charles Coburn, Frank Albertson.
Newly Featured!
10:30pm – Sundance – Eraserhead
David Lynch's first feature is a weird post-apocalyptic dreamscape of a film – what, you were expecting something normal? When you can have industrial decay and mutant babies?
1977 USA. Director: David Lynch. Starring: Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart.
(repeats at 5:45am on the 25th)
11:15pm – TCM – Stage Door
I cannot describe to you how much I love this film. I'm not sure it's wholly rational. Katharine Hepburn plays an heiress who wants to make it on her own as an actress, so she moves (incognito) into a New York boarding house for aspiring actresses. Her roommate ends up being Ginger Rogers (who's never been better or more acerbic), and the boarding house is rounded out with a young Lucille Ball, a young Eve Arden, a very young Ann Miller, and various others. The dialogue is crisp and everyone's delivery matter-of-fact and perfectly timed, and the way the girls use humor to mask desperation makes most every moment simultaneously funny and tragic – so that when it does turn tragic, it doesn't feel like a shift in mood, but a culmination of the inevitable.
1937 USA. Director: Gregory La Cava. Starring: Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Adolphe Menjou, Andrea Leeds, Gail Patrick, Eve Arden, Lucille Ball, Ann Miller, Constance Collier.
Must See
Thursday, March 25
6:00pm – Sundance – Nights of Cabiria
Nights of Cabiria, one of the films Federico Fellini made during his sorta-neo-realist phase, casts Masina as a woman of the night, following her around almost non-committally, yet with a lot of care and heart. And Masina is simply amazing in everything she does – not classically beautiful, but somehow incredibly engaging for every second she's onscreen.
1957 Italy. Director: Federico Fellini. Starring: Giulietta Masina, François Périer, Franca Marzi.
Must See
(repeats at 5:15am and 12:30pm on the 26th)
8:00pm – TCM – Interiors
In case anyone doubted Woody Allen's admiration for Ingmar Bergman, he made this film to prove it (I suppose his use of Smiles of a Summer Night as basis for A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy also counts). Interiors is about the best imitation of a Bergman chamber drama you could ask for, down to the spare set design, strained family relations, and a climax involving an angry sea. Still, it is also very much Allen's film, focusing on deeply neurotic, introspective characters unable to get outside their own heads for long enough to form really true relationships.
1978 USA. Director: Woody Allen. Starring: Diane Keaton, Geraldine Page, Maureen Stapleton, Richard Jordan, Sam Waterston.
2:15am (26th) – Sundance – The Squid and the Whale
Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney are married writers/academics who finally drive each other too crazy to keep living together, bringing their two adolescent sons into their turmoil when they separate. Everything about the film works together to create one of the best films of the past few years. Writer/director Noah Baumbach has crafted a highly intelligent script which is achingly witty and bitterly funny; the acting is superb all around; the music fits beautifully, and even the setting (1980s Brooklyn) is something of a character.
2005 USA. Director: Noah Baumbach. Starring: Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney, Jesse Eisenberg, Owen Kline.
Must See
Friday, March 26
2:30pm – TCM – The Asphalt Jungle
The Asphalt Jungle was really MGM's first foray into noirish crime films. Being MGM, it's more polished and, to me, less interesting than the crime dramas that Warner Bros. and the smaller studios were putting out, but hey. It's still pretty good. And has a really young Marilyn Monroe.
1950 USA. Director: John Huston. Starring: Sterling Hayden, Louis Calhern, Jean Hagen, James Whitmore, Sam Jaffe.
4:30pm – TCM – Johnny Guitar
Nicholas Ray's rather strange feminist western has become something of a cult classic – Joan Crawford is Vienna, a tough-but-vulnerable saloon owner that all the other women in town want gone. She calls on old friend Johnny Guitar to help her out, but he many not be quite as advertised either.
1954 USA. Director: Nicholas Ray. Starring: Joan Crawford, Sterling Hayden, Mercedes McCambridge, Ward Bond, Ernest Borgnine.
8:00pm – TCM – Ray Harryhausen Triple Feature
With the new 3D extravaganza Clash of the Titans hitting a multiplex near you very soon, what better time to revisit the original, along with two other Ray Harryhausen films? I've got to admit that I've seen none of these, but I'm kind of excited to check them out. It appears my taste for cheese is only growing stronger. Jason and the Argonauts plays at 8pm, then Clash of the Titans at 10pm, followed by The Golden Voyage of Sinbad at 12:15am.
Newly Featured!
Saturday, March 27
8:15am – Sundance – Metropolitan
If Jane Austen made a movie in 1990 and set it among entitled Manhattan socialites, this would be it. The film follows a group of such entitled teens from party to party, focusing especially on the one outsider, a boy from the blue-collar class who has to rent a tux and pretend he likes to walk to avoid letting his new friends know he has to take the bus home. Though they find out soon enough, they keep him around because his intellectual nattering amuses them. In fact, it's quite amazing that this film is interesting at all, given the amount of pseudo-intellectual nattering that goes on, from all the characters. But from start to finish, it's both entertaining and an incisive look at the American class structure.
1990 USA. Director: Whit Stillman. Starring: Edward Clements, Chris Eigeman, Carolyn Farina, Taylor Nichols, Dylan Hundley.
8:30am – TCM – The Killers (1946)
Burt Lancaster made his film debut in this excellent noir, an expansion of an Ernest Hemingway short story. Lancaster is a quiet gas station attendant killed in the opening of the film by two hitmen – the events that lead up to his death (involving, among other things, a classic femme fatale played by Ava Gardner) are told in flashback throughout the rest of the film.
1946 USA. Director: Robert Siodmak. Starring: Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner, Edmond O'Brien, Albert Dekker, Sam Levene.
8:00pm – TCM – Gigi
Maurice Chevalier's "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" might come off as more pervy now than it was originally intended, but as a whole Gigi stands as one of the most well-produced and grown-up musicals made during the studio era. Vincente Minnelli gives it a wonderful visual richness and sophistication, while music from Lerner & Loewe (usually) stresses the right combination of innocence, exuberance, and ennui for its decadent French story.
1958 USA. Director: Vincente Minnelli. Starring: Louis Jourdan, Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier, Hermione Gingold.
Sunday, March 28
2:00pm – TCM – Sunset Boulevard
Billy Wilder's classic noir explores the dark side of the rich and formerly famous, as a struggling screenwriter (William Holden) gets involved with a silent screen star seeking to make a comeback in the sound era. In one of the most brilliant cast films ever, actual silent screen star Gloria Swanson returned to the movies to play the delusional Norma Desmond and actual silent star/director Erich von Stroheim (who worked with Swanson on the never-finished Queen Kelly, portions of which appear in Sunset Boulevard) plays her former director/current butler. The film is a bit on the campy side now, but that doesn't diminish its enjoyability one bit.
1950 USA. Director: Billy Wilder. Starring: William Holden, Gloria Swanson, Nancy Olsen, Erich Von Stroheim, Buster Keaton.
Must See
4:00pm – TCM – The Snake Pit
One of the earlier films to deal with the realities of mental illness seriously, with Olivia de Havilland as a woman in an insane asylum, brilliantly moving back and forth between lucidity and falling back in the fog of illness. She got an Oscar nom for her role, based on a true story.
1948 USA. Director: Anatole Litvak. Starring: Olivia de Havilland, Mark Stevens, Leo Genn, Celeste Holm.
12:00M – TCM – Sherlock Jr.
One of Buster Keaton's best shorts, as he plays a projectionist who dreams himself right into the frame in a very famous sequence. There's actually more to the movie than that, but it's worth it just for that part.
1924 USA. Director: Buster Keaton. Starring: Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Joe Keaton, Erwin Connelly, Ward Crane.
Newly Featured!
2:15am (29th) – TCM – Mr. Hulot's Holiday
French writer/actor/director Jacques Tati specialized in nearly-silent physical comedy that reminds one at times of Chaplin or Keaton, but with a slightly more ironic French flair about it. In Mr. Hulot's Holiday, a trip to the seashore turns out to be anything but relaxing.
1953 France. Director: Jacques Tati. Starring: Jacques Tati, Nathalie Pascaud, Micheline Rolla.
4:00am (29th) – TCM – Mon Oncle
Jacques Tati's Chaplin-esque character, Mr. Hulot, this time takes on modern life in the form of his sister's house that has been mechanized with all the most modern electronic aids – think Disney's 1950s House of Tomorrow. Of course, everything goes wrong, hilariously.
1958 France. Director: Jacques Tati. Starring: Jacques Tati, Jean-Pierre Zola, Adrienne Servantie, Jean-François Martial.

The Contraception Inception Deception
Radical feminism, not unlike the dream-thief character Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) in the movie "Inception," has stolen into our subconscious and implanted an insidious idea that refuses to die. The idea: That contraceptives and their evil twin, abortion are "health care", that public funding for them are a necessity, and that they are positive goods. Like Cobb, radical feminists have planted a whopper of a lie. The question is how will we get out of it?
In the film, Cobb uses a totem (a spinning metallic top), to tell if he's in the dream. We, too, have totems - a tool for differentiating between the false dream and the reality. The antidotes are Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical letter Humanae Vitae, and Pope John Paul II's encyclical letter Evangelium Vitae and his teachings on the "Theology of the Body."
Forty-three years after Humanae Vitae's release, we need to reexamine the letter's predictions so that we may see the false bill of goods that we've been sold and the enormity of the lie we've been living.
Let's take a look at the reality.
Contraception and Abortion are not "Health care"
Contraception is neither "health" nor "care." It treats a woman's natural, God-given fertility as a disease that needs to be controlled or stopped. For something to be healthy it shouldn't lead to permanent damage or death. Yet, the introduction of contraceptive chemicals into the female body to prevent her natural fertility cycle is far from healthy. The birth control pill has contributed to blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, and death in women. When the Pill was first being tested in Puerto Rico at least three women died during the clinical trials. Who knows how many more have died because of oral contraceptive use in subsequent years. The Pill kills.
Those who teach modern, scientific Natural Family Planning will also attest to the numerous couples whom they see who learn NFP after having been on the Pill. Talk to those couples and you will learn that use of the Pill, sometimes over decades, has permanently affected the ability of many couples to conceive. Use of oral contraceptives can render a couple infertile. In other cases, it can be months or years before normal fertility returns.
Radical feminists purport that contraception will increase women's enjoyment of the marital act because they will be free to have intercourse without fear of pregnancy. In reality, the Pill decreases women's libido and desire for intimacy.
Another potential danger for women… studies have demonstrated a possible link between hormonal contraceptives and breast cancer.
When contraceptives are used to avoid pregnancy, and one results, many then turn to contraceptive's evil twin of abortion. One of the ways in which many oral contraceptives work is to prevent the implantation of a human embryo, hence inducing abortion. To furthermore understand the description of abortion as contraceptive's evil twin, consider the statistics.
A 2011 Guttmacher Institute fact sheet states that nearly half of all pregnancies among American women are unintended. Four in 10 of all pregnancies end in abortion; and 54% of women who have had abortions had been using contraception at the time they became pregnant.
Killing a pre-born child is hardly a "healthy" outcome for the child or the mother.
Public Funding of Contraception and Abortion are Not Necessary
We have also been sold the lie that public funding of contraception and abortion are absolutely necessary, and that those of us who are opposed to their use have an obligation to pay for them.
In the current debate over contraceptive coverage, we're being told that every insurance plan must provide coverage for contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing medications, and that all employers must provide insurance coverage to make these available, as if contraception and abortion haven't been freely available for the past 40 years.
Planned Parenthood already offers free and low-cost contraceptives on a sliding-fee scale. Contraception and abortion are readily available. While we've been told that there are medical conditions where oral contraceptives are necessary, that's not the case. Bio-identical hormones outside of contraception are available, without harming women or their fertility. It's hard to imagine any condition where the death of a child is the "treatment."
Contraception and Abortion are Not Positive Goods
According to the journal Family Planning Perspectives' 1998 article "Trends in Contraceptive Use in the United States: 1982-1995, 75% of women who use oral contraceptives are unmarried.
Love is willing the good of the other. Forcing people to pay for the destructive behavior of the other can never be a good.
Closing the marital act to the possibility of procreation is to make it less than the self-gift intended in marriage. The act becomes not a self-gift but an act of selfishness and self-pleasure. It says to the spouse, "I share myself with you, all but this part. This part of myself I withhold." That undermines marriage and the purpose of marriage. Practicing this is harmful to marriage. Contraception ultimately leads to objectification and dehumanization. The result of this repeated action is that children aren't seen as gifts, but as a lifestyle choice or a commodity.
Natural Family Planning, on the other hand, fosters a healthy respect and wonder between husband and wife, and awe for the creation of life. In a culture so willing to embrace the "green," the natural, the organic, it's surprising that more married couples do not choose to learn about natural fertility regulation rather than introducing potentially fertility-destroying chemicals into their bodies.
The Church's Moral Voice Has Been Compromised
If the Church is going to have an authoritative voice on this issue it cannot be complicit in it. It cannot have dioceses, hospitals, universities, charities, and other institutions that are covering or distributing contraception, and performing sterilization and abortion. Yet, it has.
The National Women's Law Center has published a list of Catholic hospitals, healthcare systems, and colleges and universities – organizations such as Catholic Healthcare West - that do provide contraceptive coverage. Sandra Hapenney, a doctoral candidate at Baylor University, found that more than 20,000 sterilizations were performed at 48% of 176 Catholic hospitals.
This is scandalous. These institutions, ostensibly our institutions, are complicit in performing surgeries and providing medications that block fertility and induce abortion.
To their credit, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and individually, every bishop in the country has been unified against the U.S. Health and Human Service's mandate regarding contraceptive coverage. The sleeping giant is beginning to wake and has found its voice.
The Totems or Antidote
When the prophetic encyclical Humanae Vitae was released on July 25, 1968, Pope Paul VI, predicted that the widespread use of contraception would lead to: 1) infidelity and moral decline, 2) a loss of respect for women, 3) the abuse of power, and 4) unlimited dominion.
Clearly, every single prediction has come to pass. We're witness to widespread infidelity and sexual immorality. Without a doubt, the past 40 years have seen increases in premarital relations, out-of-wedlock pregnancies, divorce, abortion, and sexually-transmitted diseases.
Pope Paul VI also said that man would reach "the point of considering [woman] as a mere instrument of selfish enjoyment and no longer as his respected and beloved companion." We see this all too often in modern media and in relationships where people treat others as objects for their own pleasure. We see it, too, in the proliferation of pornography. Reality has exceeded the Pope's prediction in that sexual activity has become an appetite to be satisfied without the need for any relationship at all. Think of the "hook-up" culture and the recent film "Friends with Benefits."
Contraception, Pope Paul VI warned would become a "dangerous weapon… in the hands of those public authorities who take no heed of moral exigencies." This is evidenced not only by family-planning programs tied to foreign aid in developing countries, forced sterilization and abortion in countries such as China, but also in the current Health and Human Service's mandate in our own country.
Finally, Pope Paul VI cautioned that contraception would lead humans to think that they have unlimited dominion over their own bodies. So convinced are individuals of this "right," many do not hesitate to disfigure themselves through sterilization, seek to produce life outside the womb when they are unable to achieve pregnancy, or to find ways to end their life prematurely once they believe they have outlived their own usefulness.
The antidote lies in Pope Paul VI's encyclical letter Humanae Vitae, and in Pope John Paul II's Evangelium Vitae, and "Theology of the Body." In such expositions, we are shown that we are created for far more than sexual degradation. We have a proper way of looking at the body. The human person has a profound dignity. Rather than separating the unitive and procreative aspects of marriage, we must reverence the gift of our sexuality within marriage. That is the self-sacrificial love for which we were created.
Marian femininity serves as our model. Virgin and mother - the two states most under attack through contraceptive use and abortion - must be embraced. No matter how we might try, human sexuality cannot be divorced from marriage or children.
The lie of contraception, implanted not by the fictional Cobb, but by the very real Margaret Sanger, into our subconscious, has seriously distorted our view of reality. The late-Father Paul Marx, OSB, former director of Human Life International used to say that contraception has "driven a wedge into the most intimate sphere of communion known to man outside of the Holy Sacrament of the Mass."
May we all awake from the nightmare we are in, and soon, before it's too late.

who is helping students with the new D2L interface?
PPT about the changes to the new version at:http://web.stcloudstate.edu/informedia/d2l10.pptx
the new version does not discrimante the teacher, versus T2 and GA unless you
change of Navbar. BE AWARE that you cannot add tools (you need to request via email@example.com) but you can take off tools from the new navbar. To take off a tool, go to "Edit Course" in the new version, click on "Tools" and find "Set Inactive"
Dropbox addition. Feedback left for students can be kept as a draft
- 10:30-11:00am: Automation of lab reports using D2L. Dr. Zengqiang "John" Liu, Physics
- please enter ideas and suggestions
– D2L dropbox:
1. when papers are a big stack of paper, versus electronic format in dropbox, is it a bigger psychological burden?
2. Navbar CANNOT be changed by faculty. Need to request the change from firstname.lastname@example.com
3. BWhen assignng bonus points work, they fine, but do not apply to the final grade
4. Naming the file deposited in the dropbox is crucial to navigating later on
5. "Properties: One file per sumbission | overwrite submissions" is probably the best way to streamline the dropbox flow
6. "Restrictions: Display in Calendar" helps student as a reminder, even if the D2L calendar is not populated and used regularly
7. "Restrictions: Additional Release and Conditions" is the overarching idea of successful teaching. Conditioning Dropbox with Content, Discussions and Quizzes can bring uniformity and structure in students' learning
8. Restrictions: Special Access" is poorly phrased and can confuse faculty.
9. Downloading all files at once via zipped file attaches Last Name First name of the student to its paper's file name

1. what is optimal when using CMS.
2. the switch from WebCT to D2L was very consuming. Is it gonna be again when we switch to a different one?
3. How to deliver content is challange. write versus speak. Student takes notes or listens? Also engage, becomes to much. Classes become "flipped classroom"
4. Modular | recorded lectures | lectures notes in several formats | study guides
5. develop best practices for my discipline
6. modular guide: goals | outcomes | objectives | readings | activities | quizzes
7. recorded lexture: in sciences is easIER to organize, how it will be in humanities? This is where we can be creative
8. providing all this content in all thes[e] format[s] made me a better teacher. It also made students better prepared for class. student learning success

Care of Unaccompanied Minors Transferred to ORR Under Homeland Security Bill
Section 462 of H.R. 5710, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 – which was passed by the House of Representatives on November 13 and by the Senate on November 19 – transfers responsibility for the care of unaccompanied foreign-born children from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), within the Department of Justice, to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), within the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families. Other provisions of Section 462:
Encourage ORR to use the refugee children foster care system for the placement of unaccompanied minors;
Require ORR to compile and update a state-by-state list of professionals qualified to provide guardian and legal representation services to unaccompanied minors; and
Require ORR to develop a plan, to be submitted to Congress, on how to ensure timely legal representation for each child.
MRS has long supported this move on the grounds that ORR, which has extensive experience working with refugee children, is much better suited to the care of unaccompanied minors than the INS (or any law-enforcement agency), which faces a fundamental conflict of interest in serving as both jailer and caretaker of unaccompanied minors.
The transfer of responsibility for unaccompanied minors out of INS was a key component of S. 121, the Unaccompanied Alien Child Protection Act, introduced on January 22, 2001, by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and supported by MRS. However, other provisions of S. 121, such as ensuring that detained foreign-born children have the same access to legal representation and court-appointed guardians as U.S.-born children, did not make it into H.R. 5710. MRS will continue to advocate for these provisions in the 108th Congress.
H.R. 5710 will combine 22 federal agencies, including the INS, into a new Department of Homeland Security devoted to protecting the United States against terrorist attack. MRS opposes putting immigration services within this new department. The new department will place immigration enforcement functions in a Bureau of Border Security and immigration services in a Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services, the director of which will report to the Deputy Secretary for Homeland Security. President Bush is expected to sign the bill next week and the creation of the department, as well as the transfer of functions to ORR, will take anywhere from 5 to 14 months to go into effect.

Though 20th Century Fox ensured that James Cameron's next film after Avatar would be a sequel to the highest grossing film of all time, the director has been taking his sweet time getting the project going. Cameron's been busy diving to the ocean's deepest point and documenting it in the film Deepest Challenge, but it appears he's finally getting ready to return to Pandora. We previously heard that the director would probably be filming Avatar 2 and 3 at the same time, and latest word from the filmmaker was that he was "in the Avatar business period," meaning he's only interested in making Avatar films from here on out. At the same time, Cameron first dropped word about a possible Avatar 4, and now star Sigourney Weaver claims that the director will film all three Avatar sequels at once. Hit the jump for more.
Roger Friedman over at Showbiz 411 recently caught up with Weaver who broke the news that the three Avatar sequels are on the docket for her in the near future:
She goes right into a new Christopher Durang play for a short run at Lincoln Center. Then she films Avatar 2, 3, and 4 with James Cameron. That's right: they're making three sequels to the blue 3D phenom all at the same time. Weaver says she has no idea how long it will take, or how it's going to work. "I just show up," she said.
So when Cameron said he's only in the Avatar business for the foreseeable future, he wasn't kidding. Given how technologically involved each film is and how long the post-production takes per movie, it makes sense to go ahead and shoot all the Avatar sequels at once. Cameron doesn't have to wait for sets to be built or locations to be ready, he just throws those goofy suits on his actors, puts them in a warehouse, and starts make-believin'.
When it was announced that Avatar 2 and 3 would be Cameron's next films, tentative release dates of December 2014 and 2015 were slated. As Cameron has been taking his time working on the scripts and going on diving expeditions, producer Jon Landau recently admitted that the sequels were unlikely to make their scheduled release dates. As Cameron's the man behind the two highest grossing movies of all time—with three sequels to one of them on the way—I doubt Fox can be too upset with the delay. Based on the post-production schedule of the first film, if Cameron indeed starts filming this fall we could possibly see Avatar 2 by late 2015.
There's no firm word on exactly which actors will be back or what the plot will involve, but Cameron previously talked about his desire to explore the underwater locations of Pandora in the subsequent films. Whatever the story concerns, it appears we've got plenty more time left to spend with our favorite blue cat people thingy majigs.

As Trish points out in her post "It's Back Again" there is, "nothing new there. Nina Olson, the National Taxpayer Advocate, has been recommending licensing for years now. In fact, there have been bills before the last 3 Congresses which would require licensing. They have all died when that Congress ended because there were other more pressing issues distracting lawmakers."
Many of my fellow tax bloggers, who are also tax professionals, have weighed in on the question. While there are bloggers on both sides of the question, it seems the consensus of these posts is that some kind of regulation is needed.
I have blogged, commented, and written about this topic at various places and to various individuals and organizations in the past. But perhaps in light of this resurgence of interest in the topic it is time again to post my thoughts and comments on the subject.
First of all, I am not a big fan of excessive government regulation of anything. However I do feel that there are times when government regulation if necessary to protect the public from unethical practices.
I am not calling for regulation of tax preparers, and would not complain if there were none, but I do not object to the idea – and actually support it. I am an ethical tax professional – so any reasonable (always the operative word) form of regulation should not adversely affect my 1040 practice.
The reason to regulate/license "unenrolled" tax preparers is because, as I have stated in the past, any cafone can hang out a shingle as a "professional tax preparer". Currently there are very few states that actually regulate or license individuals calling themselves tax preparers. There is no standard to assure that a person who calls himself/herself a "tax preparer" actually knows his arse from a hole in the ground when it comes to the Tax Code.
One morning, not too long ago, while walking on Central Avenue here in Jersey City I saw a sign in the window of a barber shop that read "tax returns prepared here". You could apparently get a haircut and a manicure and have your 1040 prepared all in one sitting! Many years ago, before I had my own office, I had considered renting a desk in an insurance or real estate office – it never occurred to me to rent a chair at a barbershop.
To be honest the only way a taxpayer can be assured that a potential tax preparer has any actual knowledge of federal income taxes is if he/she uses an Enrolled Agent (EA). FYI, I am not an EA. Even the initials "CPA" do not automatically indicate that the person whose name precedes them is a tax expert.
The name EA is misleading. While certified by the IRS, an EA is not an employee or representative or "agent" of the Internal Revenue Service. An EA is a private tax professional who is "enrolled" to act as a taxpayer's "agent" in proceedings with the IRS and in tax court. To become an Enrolled Agent one must pass a difficult test that is 100% federal tax law. In order to maintain their enrolled status, EAs must have a mandatory number of continuing education credits in taxation each year.
Another reason that the IRS and Congress are concerned about regulating tax preparers is that there are many, many so-called "tax pros" out there who purposely prepare fraudulent tax returns, both known and unknown by the taxpayer client, to increase or create tax refunds, often charging the client a percentage of the refund. Most of this fraud occurs through the use of "refundable" tax credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Back when I started out in the business (before the EITC) my mentor told me the story of a local tax preparer that had been used by many police officers and other municipal employees in the area. You would bring your "stuff" to this person. He would ask how much you would like to get back. He would have you sign the Form 1040 in blank and basically make up enough deductions so that you would get the refund amount that you had asked for. If you asked for a refund of $5,000 your 1040 would indicate an overpayment of $5,087 or a similar number. This person was eventually caught.
A third reason involves recent government studies that have called into question the competence and ethics of the average "unenrolled" preparer.
A few years ago a Government Accountability Office (GAO) study resulted in a report to Congress titled "Paid Return Preparers: In a Limited Study, Chain Preparers Made Serious Errors". The GAO sent undercover agents with two different tax scenarios to a total of 19 offices of 5 "fast-food" commercial tax chains in a metropolitan area. In only 2 instances was the correct refund calculated, but all 19 returns contained errors, many of them serious. In several instances the errors caused the "taxpayers" to pay more federal income tax than necessary.
To some degree tax professionals are already registered with the Internal Revenue Service via the issuance of a "Preparer Tax Identification Number" (PTIN).
When I prepare a 1040, or just about any other tax return, I am required to sign the return and indicate a personal identification number (originally my Social Security number) as well as the name and address of my business and its federal "Employer Identification Number" if applicable. The PTIN is a number issued to paid tax preparers for use when signing a tax return - in lieu of one's Social Security number. So a tax pro does not have to make his/her Social Security number "public" and risk identity theft or other "financial casualties".
I also have a "CAF" (Centralized Authorization File) Number for use when a client/taxpayer elects to have me designated as a "authorized representative" (sort of like a limited Power of Attorney) when dealing with the IRS. While I expect that at this point every "legitimate" paid tax preparer has a PTIN, not all preparers have a CAF number.
It would be easy to build the IRS licensure/registration procedure on the existing PTIN registry.
Most of the bills regarding tax preparer licensure that have previously been introduced in (but not acted upon by) Congress have called for mandatory annual CPE (continuing professional education) requirements, similar to requirements for an Enrolled Agent (EA) or other professional licenses and designations (i.e. CPA and attorneys), and a mandatory initial proficiency test which one must pass to be able to prepare or continue to prepare 1040s (similar to the EA enrollment exam). Some proposals call for an annual test.
I wholeheartedly support the requirement for a specific amount of annual CPE credits per year as a condition of maintaining one's ability to prepare tax returns. I attend many federal and state tax update seminars, workshops and conferences during the year – and I expect that I already earn more CPE credits each year than the requirement that would be set by legislation.
However I am firmly against a mandatory initial, or annual, test for ALL current and future tax preparers.
For one thing – I have been preparing tax returns professionally, and ethically, for 38 years. I have absolutely no intention of taking a test this late in my career to prove that I know what I am doing.
Secondly, and perhaps most important, it would be literally impossible for the Internal Revenue Service, or any outside contractor, to properly administer an initial, or annual, proficiency test to the current 1 Million + "unenrolled" preparers out there. It just cannot be done. The IRS has enough problems administering the EA exam, with only a few thousand tested each year.
I insist, and have urged NATP to do the same, that any tax regulation/licensure legislation must include some kind of "grandfather" clause for existing long-time tax pros.
Here is my proposal –
Every current tax preparer that has been in "the business" for at least five full years (60 months) and who has taken a minimum of 60 hours of continuing education in taxation during the past two years (24 months) would be exempt from taking an initial proficiency examination. These "grandfathered" preparers would be subject to the same annual continuing education requirements as those who had to take the competency exam to maintain their status. There would be no annual testing – only the initial exam.
While I support the registration/licensure of all tax preparers I do not believe that such a practice will eliminate, or even substantially cut down on, the number of unethical preparers or overall tax cheats. As long as the tax system is the convoluted mess that it currently is people will continue to cheat on their taxes, either on their own or with the help of unscrupulous preparers.
The most that registration/licensure can do is to provide some degree of protection to the taxpayer-consumer when it comes to choosing a tax preparer. I agree with Trish McIntire when she says, "Congress needs to allot money for a good, intensive education campaign about licensing and why taxpayers need to look for licensed preparers". Registration must be followed by public education on the fact that taxpayers should use only registered/licensed preparers to complete their tax returns.
As Trish suggests, penalties should not be limited to non registered/licensed preparers. If registration/licensure is required for all paid tax preparers, taxpayers who use non registered/licensed preparers should also be penalized to some degree.
I must point out two more things before I end the post –
(1) This whole interest in ethics among tax preparers actually began with the ENRON scandal. The illegal and unethical practices of ENRON were perpetrated by CPAs – members of a very highly regulated group.
(2) The tax preparers "caught" in the GAO study of a few years ago that I mentioned above were all employees of fast food chains such as Henry and Richard and Jackson Hewitt, and not independent tax professionals such as myself. It is certainly no surprise, at least to me, that H+R Block and Jackson Hewitt tax preparers are incompetent.
So there you have my word on the subject of regulating the tax preparation industry. What do you have to say on the topic?

I was reading some fluff science fiction over the weekend. There's one scene where the heroes are escaping the police, and an investigator is poking into a trap door that leads to a rather dangerous watery environment. The author vividly describes a crocodile clamping on to the woman's head, pulling her into the water. Unfortunately, the author describes her as screaming. Two problems, and I'm sure you see them. How does a woman scream when her head is gripped by a predator? How can you scream underwater? It would be easy enough to describe her thrashing, being dragged to her death.
I almost finished the book–it was otherwise fast-paced and poked my curiosity. But I was deeply dismayed that a respected female physician–one of the two lead characters–would help a murderer (the other lead) get away from the authorities. Totally unbelievable. At least the guy could have been given some pheromone to overpower a woman's resistance. But in the chapter before he meets her, he declines the treatment.
Liam's comments on good editing in the thread below are golden. Maybe it's why songwriting teams seem to have more success than soloists. Do you know the story behind the Beatles' song that begins:
Well, she was just seventeen, and you know what I mean.
Paul McCartney's original line was
Well, she was just seventeen, just like a beauty queen
John Lennon added the sneer "you know what I mean;" the songwriters were already telling you "the way she looked was way beyond compare." What John's line did, in addition to introducing a naughty hint, was to invite the listener in who knows what it feels like when your heart goes "boom."
Anyway, early Beatles and puff science fiction are not rocket science. But they illustrate the value of good editing. Good teamwork is much more satisfying to me than going it alone and wondering how to take the "nice work" comments and sifting through them for the real truth.
