In June 2011, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) of the Department of Health and Human Services ruled the state law, which would alter the way Medicaid is run in Indiana, violates federal laws, making it unacceptable.

"Like any other petitioner who is entitled to a hearing, the State of Indiana appreciated the opportunity to try to explain to CMS the Indiana Legislature's public policy decision that private providers ought not indirectly subsidize abortion procedures through Medicaid dollars and that the legislation had that separation in mind," Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said in a statement.
Overseeing the administrative appeal, Hearing Officer Benjamin Cohen said that the law violated a federal requirement that individuals must have the liberty to obtain care from any qualified provider, and recommended CMS administrators uphold their original ruling.
"Indiana's own Legislative Services Agency advised prior to the passage of HEA 1210 that, in fact, 'Federal law permits states to define a qualified provider, but requires that this definition is related to a provider's ability to perform a service and not what services are provided,'" Cohen wrote in his recommendation.
The restrictive state law, signed in May 2011 by Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels, was designed to keep clinics run by Planned Parenthood from performing abortions, because any that did so would lose virtually all Medicaid-funded business.
In addition to the Medicare restrictions, the bill also bans abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy, with exceptions for the life or health of the mother.
"CMS has informed Indiana that their proposed Amendment is not in compliance with federal law. We are working with Indiana and fully expect that the State will follow the federal law that sets the conditions for its receipt of over $4 billion in Federal Medicaid funds," CMS said in a statement.
The attorney general's office pointed out in its own statement, it still has a chance to file an exception to Cohen's recommendation before the CMS Administrators makes a final decision.
Federal law already bans Medicaid funds to pay for abortions in most instances, but Indiana's law is more restrictive. The measure specifically blocks the Indiana Department of Health from signing contracts with any group performing abortions, with the exception of hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers.
"We are gratified by the federal government's decision and thrilled that (Planned Parenthood of Indiana) continues to be able to provide preventive health care to our patients. Through its appeal, the State was continuing its attack on women's rights and attempting to restrict access to basic, lifesaving services such as Pap tests, breast exams, STD testing and treatment, and birth control," said Planned Parenthood of Indiana President and CEO Betty Cockrum.
When HEA 1210 was signed into law in 2011, Planned Parenthood sought an injunction to block enforcement until appeals could be filed and won the legal challenge.
The Indiana attorney general's office appealed to the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, and that ruling is still pending.

Older consumers do. The young read privacy statements, but don't worry about privacy.
Amazon's Privacy Statement and Terms of Use run about 6,200 words—that's about 14 single-spaced pages. To make a purchase on Amazon.com, you are not required to read these terms, but you are required to agree to them.
Amazon is by no means unique in this area—all e-commerce sites include acceptance of terms and conditions as part of doing business. The question is: Do consumers understand what they are agreeing to? Moreover, do they care?
Etailing Solutions recently conducted a survey of 176 online shoppers to better understand consumer attitudes about privacy and online shopping. Here are some key takeaways:
privacy statements on websites where they shop.
Some of these findings make sense. Digital-from-birth Millennials are understandably comfortable with the idea of sharing personal information. After all, they are the ones whose fondness for living in public have made Facebook and Twitter household names.
Conversely, Baby Boomers who have been around long before WWW and "@" were commonplace might be a bit skeptical of marketers that claim to be collecting personal information in order to "provide a more relevant shopping experience." Boomers have enough real-world experience to understand how the lack of vigilance over their personal information can lead to credit card fraud, identity theft and a host of other really nasty experiences.
What is as interesting as it is concerning is that the strong privacy sentiments of Boomers does not necessarily translate into action. (Wasn't this the group that railed against apathy in the 60's?) This group should be savvy enough to understand what is at stake. But for many, the debate about whether or not marketers should be able to use personal data is akin to whether or not there is life on Mars: Everyone has an opinion, but few actually take any action as a result of that opinion.
So for now, the majority of consumers rely on the hope that marketers will go about their business carefully and ethically. It makes me wonder if I am the only person who took the time to read Google's comment at the end of its Terms of Service Update:
"Thank you for making it to the end of this page – we know this stuff can be dry, but we think it is important."

Roatan Travel Tips
Roatan Travel Is a Popular Getaway Option
Roatan, one of the West Caribbean Islands, is situated off the north coast of Honduras. Although relatively unknown to vacationers until the last few years, Roatan travel has quickly been gaining popularity due to the spectacular natural beauty that can be found in the local area. As a result, numerous Roatan resorts have opened, providing travelers with more options when it comes to enjoying the best that the Caribbean has to offer.
Treat Yourself to Plush Accommodations with Roatan Travel
Before you embark on Roatan travel, you might wish to consider viewing the Caribbean resorts and accommodations that are available. This will give you a good idea of the range of lodging from which you can choose and allow you to make your travel arrangements well in advance of your departure date. If you would like to enjoy some of the many water-based activities that are popular on Roatan, consider booking a rental near the beach so that the ocean will be just a few steps from your door. On the other hand, if you want to be near the vibrant part of the city, consider looking for something closer inland.
Dance the Night away at Roatan Resorts
You will not lack for entertainment options at Roatan resorts. The local Caribbean resorts definitely know how to throw a party and the biggest party night is Friday night. That is the night for bar-hopping and enjoying the local discos. If you enjoy reggae and blues music, you will love the entertainment offered at the resorts on Roatan.
Hit the Water at Caribbean Resorts
Scuba diving is one of the reasons that so many people engage in Roatan travel. The range of scuba diving locations off the coast of Roatan is practically limitless. Whether you are a novice or a pro, you will find gorgeous reefs and interesting wrecks to discover below the depths of the water. If you prefer activities that are above the water, consider renting a boat for a day, taking a leisurely sail or engaging in some serious game fishing. Regardless of how you decide to spend your time, the various Roatan resorts and Caribbean resorts will welcome you back with luxury accommodations.

Kik-Step Stool
Getting into the spots where you haven't been in a while - that's a big part of spring cleaning. The corners and edges of our rooms need a little attention. The upper cabinets are a no-mans-land. Who knows what lurks on the upper shelves of our closets?
Now if you have a solid step stool or ladder, great.
If you are precariously balancing to reach things, you may want to consider the kik-step, a design classic.
Cramer began production of these in the fifties and there is a small army of kik-steps out there working hard. A stool on wheels, you can "kik" it into place, and then the wheels retract when you stand on it, making for a stable platform. They are famous for working well and lasting forever.
Built from steel and powder coated, the kik-step comes in multiple colors (check out the crazy limited edition green) or a simple silvertone finish.
The best price we found by far is from Evolutionary Office, but they are widely sold - check around.

aww... reminds me of the library in elementary school! :)
I've had one for a few months and love it. It is great in the kitchen. And it reminds me of my childhood local library!
Janel, do you remember the one mom had at her apartment in California? It was always in the kitchen.
how tall is this? my step ladder is barely tall enough for me to clean the ceiling fan blades - or maybe i just have really really tall ceilings...
As a short person, stools are a way of life (especially in the kitchen).
Unfortunately to clean those difficult to reach places, stools don't quite cut it, but counters help (in the kitchen, at least).
elizabeth in al - i just measured the one in my office. it's about 13" high.
even though i'm fond of the kik-step, i needed something more compact at home. so around the house, i love the ultraslim compact stepladder available at williams-sonoma. it comes in two heights and is less than 2" deep when folded up.
oooh interesting. i'll have to check that one out.
I've been trying to find a very tall reaching step stool for indoor use. I have very high ceilings--12' and am hoping to find something at least 6' tall (top step), but it must also be compact/folding/slim--at least one of these, so that I can store it in a closet.
Any ideas?

No such justification or prevarication exists for Oles Down Under. Its downright sad to see that Homecoming, which this year also includes the inauguration of President David R. Anderson 74, is centered around a theme which is so brazenly exploitative.
Oles Down Under is the exact opposite of what St. Olaf College claims to seek to instill in its students. The theme panders to the sort of pernicious stereotypes that we as members of a global community ought to be seeking to actively dispel, rather than swallow hook line, and sinker. I had thought that at St. Olaf, where so many of us have real international experience and thus presumably a global perspective, we could get beyond this sort of tiresome exotic drivel. I thought wrong. If theres anything that flies in the face of a global education, its the whole-hearted, uncritical embrace of ethnocentric stereotypes.
The stereotypes which the Homecoming theme endorses arent just crass, theyre also offensive and wrong. Australia isnt just populated by strange animals, spiders, and noisy parrots; there are people there too. The Australian slang on the back of the T-shirts was current in the 1960s, and many of the factoids strewn around Buntrock are similarly inaccurate. As a matter of fact, kangaroos can indeed jump with their tails on the ground; I know many Oles who have been to Australia and have seen them do it.
The tactless and disrespectful display of a cardboard cutout of the late Steve Irwin is the least of the organizers transgressions. You wont hear any Homecoming events discussing the realities of Australian society, such as the violent homophobia and rampant racism that pervade it, or the fact that the themes conflation of white and Aboriginal culture is an insult to Australians on both sides of the color line.
Even my blanket use of the term Aboriginal is an inappropriate misnomer. Aboriginal peoples comprise some 250 linguistically and culturally distinctive groups after white Australians committed genocide against them. In most of those cultures, the boomerang is a ceremonial object as well as a tool, and Homecoming slapping it up everywhere is very close to being sacreligious. Giving away plastic boomerangs, leaving aside the disrespect of producing them in plastic, probably crosses that line. How would Christians feel if Homecoming handed out plastic crucifixes to play catch with?
Furthermore, I am quite sure that Oles Down Under would never have become reality if Australias major racial group were not Anglo-European white people. Youll never see an Ole Tribes of Africa or Ole Latinos! Homecoming. Where will this sort of theme end? Oles in Luxembourg? And what will we do for Homecoming when we run out of countries to exoticize?
People will doubtless claim that Homecoming is all in good fun and that I am overreacting. But its possible for Homecoming to be fun without being culturally tone-deaf, and people used to think it was fun to see white people put on blackface and act out crude stereotypes of African-Americans on stage, too. Oles Down Under is the same sort of thing, and it suggests that our talk of diversity and respect is only skin-deep. You dont get a pass on being considerate of other cultures, whether its for the sake of fun or not.
While it is an understandable typo, it seems emblematic that stereotyped was misspelled on the Homecoming T-shirts. Homecomings organizers should have considered more carefully both their spelling and the ramifications of their theme choice. Throw another hotdish on the barbie, folks, because things are crook in Muswellbrook on the Hill.

Unique to Pacifica
Pacifica is now accepting applications for fall 2014 in the Ph.D. Depth Psychology program with emphasis in Somatic Studies.
The Program in Depth Psychology with Emphasis in Somatics Studies is unique because it is based on the tradition of depth psychology, which holds the unconscious dynamic of the psyche to be a rich and profoundly evocative resource for both mental and physical healing. The program recognizes that psychological health must be gauged in terms of our capacity to be embodied, because our body mediates our essential relationship to the world. Accordingly, it offers a strong experiential component through active imagination, dream work, movement, and meditation.
The Somatics program also recognizes that there are as many entries into the body/ mind dynamic as there are beings on Earth. The program's students reflect this fact. They come from diverse backgrounds. Some are psychotherapists or dance or movement therapists, while others are body workers, massage therapists, yoga teachers, or personal trainers. Still others are healthcare practitioners, including nurses and acupuncturists. And there are students with no background in body therapies but a keen interest in exploring depth psychology from a somatic perspective. The curriculum is a blend of hard sciences and creative expressions of the humanities. Some courses are based on science, but the program is not constrained by science. That means that we study the areas of neuroanatomy, neuroplasticity, and psychoneuroimmunology without being reductive and finite.
Students in the Somatic Studies specialization
Marion Woodman ScholarshipThe Marion Woodman Scholarship Fund is for the M.A./Ph.D. Depth Psychology with emphasis in Somatic Studies Program. A number of scholarships are offered to newly admitted students in the Somatic Studies Program based on extreme financial hardship and strong academic excellence.
"Our body is our home, a treasure trove that houses our awareness. It is an exquisite vehicle that when well-tended will offer us direct access to the unconscious. In this program we learn to inhabit our bodies through a variety of experiential forms such as active imagination, dream work, movement, and meditation." -Cally Huttar, Ph.D. PROGRAM CHAIR

Congratulations are in order to the Final 3 of this past season of Survivor Caramoan Fans vs Favorites!! It was not a shock to me to see these 3 sitting at the end as it was a predictable yet smart move.
Though I love Dawn, John Cochran's unanimous vote also wasn't a shock as I felt Dawn would get a bitter jury. Dawn played a more assertive game this season than the one she played during Survivor South Pacific. Plus she had a lot of really tough trying moments and we got to see a lot of emotion from her. But in the end she was able to bounce back and she definitely owned her game this season. In the end, Dawn showed that she was definitely one to be reckoned with and I am proud of her!
Of the 3, Sherri didn't show me much as I watched this season and I feel that she alienated the jury members in her response to Erik Reichenbach. I tend to think if she had played a more aggressive game then her moves would have been shown. I don't feel like I really got to know her and would loved to have seen more from her. I am thrilled for her though that she made the Final 3 and wish her continuing success!
I am definitely ecstatic over the win of John Cochran!!! He played a flawless game this season in all aspects. He didn't make enemies, he was able to take home 3 personal immunities plus he kept control in his favor when it mattered the most. Definitely a big turnaround from his former season as he showed a sense of confidence and maturity that he seemed to lack his first go round. I was not surprised to see him win it and hope this leads to bigger and better things for him!
Congrats also are in order to another favorite of mine, Malcolm Freberg on winning the Sprint Vote. Again I wasn't surprised as besides Cochran, Malcolm was the buzz this season. I wish him continued success!
Congrats are also in order to new mama, Brenda Lowe!! I am, of course, ecstatic for her and for her family!! I pulled for her this season also, as I loved her on her previous season of Survivor Nicaragua. She showed a lot of heart this season and I completely respect what she brought to the table. I also am happy that she and Dawn will be able to move forward and put things behind them. Survivor is definitely a game where sometimes you have to make the tough and what feels like incredibly brutal decisions in order to move forward. I was sad to see how it hurt Brenda, but at the same time I could see Dawn's (and Cochran's) reasoning. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and remove the personal part of it out if you want to go forward. I could see both sides though and hope that the friendship continues to heal and thrive.
On a personal note, my favorite moment this season came when Malcolm played the HII at Tribal. It was a pretty fun moment and made for a wild Tribal. I enjoyed watching Philip Sheppard this season. Say what you want about The Specialist, but I definitely find him a lot of fun to watch!
On that note, I hope everyone has enjoyed this past season. I hope everyone has a wonderful summer and wish you all the best of blessings. Thanks for stopping by!

It is just over a month since Darren Wilson, a Ferguson Missouri pig, gunned down Mike Brown, a Black teenager, in cold blood. It is stunning how much has happened—maybe even how much has changed—since that day. Here are some reflections on one of the most important urban rebellions in the US in the 21st century.
1. The most important thing to keep in mind is that the real heroes here are the ordinary people of Ferguson. If they had responded with a night of angry protest on August 8 and then slipped back into their daily lives, Michael's would have been just another name added to the long, long list of those lynched by the police.
But they didn't return to their daily lives. They continued to protest. They stood up to a full-fledged occupation of their community by multiple militarized police forces and the National Guard. The young'uns defied the curfews. Some threw back teargas canisters at the invaders, some did a little trashing and burning. The elders stood between them and the po-po, making it clear that the cops would have to go through them to get at the youth.
And they never stopped. Just a week ago, angry residents disrupted the first meeting of the Ferguson City Council since things blew up, informing them that there will be no going back to business as usual.
To be sure, the people of Ferguson were lucky to have veteran local organizers, especially the radicals of the Organization for Black Struggle, on the ground, helping build the fightback. Even some of those who were drawn from elsewhere to help (as distinct from paper-peddling riot tourists) made contributions. But it was the residents of Ferguson and surrounding communities who deserve the credit.Download this piece as a PDF

The Braves gave up waiting for Cody Johnson to develop and traded the outfielder to the Yankees for cash considerations on Friday, rather than use a 40-man roster spot on the strikeout-plagued behemoth.
Johnson, 22, hit .212 with 18 home runs and 151 strikeouts in 344 at-bats last season for three affiliates at the Double-A level and lower. His average, on-base percentage (.269) and slugging percentage (.343) were his full-season lows.
A first-round draft pick in 2006, Johnson hit a combined .243 with a .320 OBP in five minor league seasons, totaling 94 homers, 309 RBIs, 182 walks and a whopping 629 strikeouts in 1,613 at-bats.
The Braves were hopeful after the 6-foot-4, 240-pounder hit .239 with 32 homers, 87 RBIs and .342 OBP in 2009 at High-A and Double-A.
But Johnson regressed in 2010, hitting .189 with 114 strikeouts in 233 at-bats at Double-A Mississippi.
Teams faced a Friday deadline to add players to their 40-man roster who had enough time in the minors to require that they either be protected or exposed to next month's Rule 5 draft.
Rather than use a roster spot on Johnson, the Braves cut ties with him.

does this move allow room for the braves to pick up a rule 5 draft, maybe an outfielder?
November 19th, 2010

it only saves a few hundred thousand at most by sending him away. so unless crawford wants to play for 2 million its safe to say no.

That poor Johnson kids stats are as ugly as they get. He should be thankful that he has one more year to play minor league ball. Sounds like if the pitchers can spin it at all, he does a U-Turn to the bench most nights.
November 19th, 2010

It's a real shame! This kid had great potential! Unfortunately, it ounds as if his potential will remained untapped.

This guy has more raw power than anyone I've seen come through Rome: more than Freeman, Heyward, Gerry Rodriguez, anybody. Set franchise HR records at Rome & then next year, Myrtle Beach, in only about half a season. Too bad he couldn't cut down those K's.

How much cash was involved?
November 20th, 2010

Any word on whether or not the Yanks are protecting him? I would think not, so I would also assume the cash is less than the Rule V purchase price (100K IIRC).

it's official now – the 2006 draft was a bust. the best prospect is jeff locke, but he was traded to the Pirates in the Mc Louth ripoff. Exarts, Evans, Rasmus, Rodgers also didn't amount to anything
it's good that Roy Clark left for the Nats. he picks better when he has the 1st overall pick. after that, he gets confused.

Living near Tampa I can tell you that the story line here is that Carl Crawford is looking for a $185 million contract. Don't hold your breath on getting him.

Martin Prado & centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury at the top of the Braves' lineup would terrorize the National League, and offer unlimited RBI opportunities for Chipper, Uggla, McCann and Jason.
Ellsbury isn't making that much, and could had for the right price.

In Maddux's heyday, NINTY percent of the people voted Maddux as the pitcher they would most want to start a must win game. If that isn't dominating your era, I don't know what is. SCORES of articles were written proclaiming Maddux as the greatest pitcher ever. It was proposed that they rename the Cy Young award the Greg Maddux award. His 1992-1998 collective ERA is the lowest since 1918 in the deadball era.

Johnson holds the single season record for homeruns at MB. I wish him well. He is still very young. As often happens with the Braves, this move could backfire and, to be honest, I hope that is the case.

He still has a great future on the slow pitch softball circuit.

I'd assume he was going to be snatched up in rule-5 so I guess it had to be done. Maybe he'll be back one day.

My grandmother could out- hit, out run, and field much better than that slob. He ran like a turtle and looked like one too. H e could not hit the knuckle-ball throwing teenage girl. She struck him out five times in the grapefriut league play. He can open the doors and carry the luggage for Jeter and the boys. Good RIDDANCE!!!!!!!

Professional work atmosphere. Amount of team support given on a project is pretty good. If you are in the "club" you could get to work all over the world.
So far the employees are professional and overall intelligent. However the expectations are very high and often times unrealistic, leading to large amounts of stressful situations. Advancement for younger employees is often times controlled by managers with not much experience in managing people. When you first start working they will start determining the highest you will ever move up in the company, which makes it hard to break some preconceived mold they put you in.
Never stop investing in your employees, and always give raises, which often times are the only way to know for sure if you are Doing a good job or not. Be more open with your teams and less of an elite attitude toward others would go a long way toward relationship building.

20-year, 85-acre reclamation of riverfront property nears completion
Waterfront Development Corporation on Thursday will close its purchase of 3.5 acres located at 903 East River Road. Currently owned by Lafarge North America, Inc., the property is the sole remaining property to be acquired for the planned 85-acre Waterfront Park.
"Securing this property is the final, missing link for Waterfront Park," Abramson said. "The Waterfront has turned yesterday's memories of sand and scrap into tomorrow's promise of continuous green space for this community's and region's recreational front yard."
Lafarge manufactured building materials on the site since the early 1900s. In 2004, the company announced it would sell the property to the city for $3.5 million to make way for Waterfront Park's third and final phase.
The signature icon of the third phase is the pedestrian walkway on the Big Four Bridge, connecting Louisville and Jeffersonville, Ind. Construction for the $21 million Phase III began in January 2005 and is expected to be complete in 2008.
The city began acquiring scrap yards and sand and salt storage lots along the river in the early 1990s, with Waterfront Park's Phase I opening in July 1999 and Phase II opening in June 2004. Annual attendance at the park exceeds 1.5 million people, with special events attracting hundreds of thousands of people at a time. Waterfront Park is home to successful events, such as Waterfront Independence Festival, Waterfront Wednesdays concerts, Kentucky Derby Chow Wagon and various community events.

Images from the Haitian earthquake are devastating, especially for those who call Haiti home. About 80 Haitian students at Andrews University in Berrien Springs are waiting anxiously to hear from their relatives. Because of the widespread chaos, it may be days or weeks, before those students are able to make contact with anyone they know from Haiti. And that lack of information has some thinking the worst.
"Just imagine if all of them gone I will be alone on Earth as my family," said Haitian Student Montes Estinphil.
It's something Andrews University student Montes Estinphil doesn't want to think about. His entire family lives in Haiti...some at the heart of the earthquake in Port-au Prince.
"I don't know if they are alive if they are dead except I have seen bodies maybe among those bodies my sisters my brothers are among those bodies," said Estinphil.
Piles of bodies line the streets of Haiti's capital because there's nowhere else to put them. Estinphil searches the crowds on TV looking for familiar faces...
"Not only could I have been there, but my brothers are there," said Estinphil.
...two brothers and five sisters.
"So far nothing. I have tried to get a hold of them and I haven't been able to talk to anyone," said Estinphil.
Estinphil joined other Haitian students to comfort one another during the crisis.
"It's hard these students are like our family," said Andrews University Media Relations Specialist Keri Suarez.
University Media Relations Specialist Keri Suarez says there are more than 80 Haitian students on campus hoping to hear news from back home.
"To see in their eyes and to hear their stories about how they miss their home...it just makes it so much more real," said Suarez.
It's a reality Estinphil shares with Haitians scattered across the globe.
"That comforts me to know that I am not alone," said Estinphil.
And that unity is what Estinphil says will help re-build his country.It's the message written on the Haitian flag.
"L'union fiat la force means... when we are in unison we are strong when we are together we are strong that's the idea," said Estinphil.
Estinphil and other Haitian students say they'd like to go home and help their fellow country men as soon as possible. You may be wondering why so many international students attend Andrews University. It's because the school is under the Seventh Day Adventist Church and their missionary work across the globe and principles attract those international students to study at Andrews.

First, The Birthday - to provide parents, unable to financially afford a traditional Christmas experience for their families, a customized Christmas dinner, Christmas stocking filled with necessities and goodies, new clothing and age appropriate toys/gifts for each child.
How do we do this? We get the names and permission to talk to the parents who have registered with Student Services of Flagler County, Florida. When we speak with the parents, we explain that this is a gift for them to give to their children. We find out what the needs and wishes of the children are. Each Child has two Wish Cards, one for clothing and one for gifts & toys. Those wish cards are put on trees throughout the community after Thanksgiving.
People are kind enough to pick the cards they want to fill, purchase and wrap the gifts, and return them to the tree. Those are all gathered and whatever has not been purchased, we then buy what we can, wrap it and organize the families gifts. We order the food that is specific to the size and family needs and, hopefully, will have plenty of dry and canned goods to add to the dinner. All is picked up several days before Christmas, by the parents when the children are in school so they don't see it.
Since we were founded in 2009, Christmas Come True has been able to assist 383 families (962 children) at Christmas and we would hope to be able to provide even more in 2014. These families struggle with homelessness, lack of transportation to get to work, unemployment, special needs children, and many other challenging situations.
Our goal for this year is to expand our mission, by providing beneficial programs throughout the year for Flagler County residents in need. Because we are trying to expand our vision, we find that we need your assistance in order to help more families overcome the challenges they face. Christmas Come True aspires to provide assistance not only during the Christmas season, but throughout the entire year.
Some of the projects currently under way include: housing assistance, furnishings, motivational seminars, self-confidence seminars, cover letter and resume building, job search, writing and blogging seminars, and small business creation and development.
The second part of our mission is The Frame of Mind – to create a community environment for the exchange between businesses and clients, client-to-client Work, Food, Clothing, Necessities, Teaching, and Counseling. A networking of People, Work & Experience, with the Emphasis on Sharing and Giving of knowledge to bring clients a higher level of Happiness and Family Success.

Foreign Income & Taxpayers
On March 12, the IRS released its advanced audit guide (LB&I-04-0212-003) for agents involved in examinations of interest charge domestic international sales corporations (IC-DISCs). IC-DISCs' goal remains the same as when they were originally enacted in the early 1970s: to stimulate U.S. exports and motivate U.S. manufacturers to produce products domestically.
Prior to the reduction in the individual tax rates on qualified dividends in 2003 and the repeal of the extraterritorial income exclusion regimes in 2004, the IRS received a relatively small number of Forms 1120-IC-DISC, Interest Charge Domestic International Sales Corporation Return. Since then, the number of IC-DISC returns has increased significantly; in 2008 approximately 2,000 IC-DISC returns were filed. The IRS expects this number to continue to grow in future years, especially if the qualified dividend rates remain significantly lower than ordinary income rates.
Given its increasing use, the IC-DISC is now on the IRS radar screen, and the newly released audit guide gives IRS examiners a step-by-step procedure on how to audit these companies. The guide educates the examiners on the relevant Code sections, related regulations, and cases regarding IC-DISCs. Although an IRS audit guide cannot be cited as the basis for an adjustment, it does provide agents with the materials that can be cited and gives them a starting point for their audits as well as issues to red flag. Understanding what IRS examiners are looking for can help practitioners and their clients avoid surprises.
An IC-DISC is a domestic corporation that, under Sec. 991, is not subject to income tax. These corporations are now the only export tax incentive within the Code. One benefit that makes an IC-DISC attractive is its ability to defer income tax on export profits. Perhaps the most attractive benefit of the IC-DISC is that the owner of the IC-DISC is eligible for the lower qualified dividend tax rate on distributions (currently a top rate of 15%, which is set to expire after Dec. 31, 2012, and increase to as high as 43.4%).
To qualify as an IC-DISC, the taxpayer must meet the strict requirements of Sec. 992. The primary qualifications are:
If a domestic corporation qualifies and elects to be treated as an IC-DISC, it is permitted to defer up to $10 million of income derived from qualified export receipts. In addition, the related supplier receives a current tax deduction for the commission paid to the IC-DISC. Per Sec. 991, the IC-DISC pays no corporate income tax. The shareholders of the IC-DISC pay tax on deemed and actual distributions from the IC-DISC. When an IC-DISC shareholder is an individual or a flowthrough entity with individual owners, these owners currently derive tax savings because of the spread between the ordinary income rates and the qualified dividend rate. Currently, that tax savings is 20% (35% top ordinary rate – 15% top rate on qualified dividends).
If Congress raises the tax rate on qualified dividends or allows the Bush tax rates to expire after Dec. 31, 2012, this benefit may be eliminated or significantly reduced. On the downside, Sec. 995(f) provides that all IC-DISC shareholders must pay an interest charge on their portion of the IC-DISC–related deferred tax liability. The shareholder reports the interest charge on Form 8404, Interest Charge on DISC-Related Deferred Tax Liability, and does not change the shareholder's basis in the corporation's stock. Generally, these interest rates are very favorable to the taxpayer.
Under the audit guidelines, IRS examiners should first ensure that the IC-DISC properly elected IC-DISC treatment by filing Form 4876-A. A corporation that is making the election for its first tax year must file the form within the 90-day period after the beginning of the tax year. An existing corporation must file the form within 90 days preceding the first day of the first tax year to which the election applies. Further, the IC-DISC must choose the same tax year as the IC-DISC shareholder with the largest percentage of voting power (Sec. 441(h)). Proof of timely filing and mailing or an acknowledgment from the IRS should be sufficient to show that the corporation made a timely election. If the election was not timely or the electing corporation has operated on a nonconforming year end, the corporation does not qualify as an IC-DISC.
Next, the agent is instructed to review the history of the IC-DISC to determine whether the IC-DISC was previously audited. If so, the guidelines suggest that the previous audit results should be the starting point for the current examination.
Step three of the audit guide instructs agents to learn about the business of the IC-DISC and its related supplier. The guide says that agents should understand what the product is, where it is manufactured, and how and to whom it is sold. This background information enables agents to focus on the applicable regulations and whether the IC-DISC properly allocated expenses in determining its qualified export receipts.
The examiner is next instructed to request the tax return workpapers of the related supplier and the IC-DISC. The guide instructs agents to look at any divisional or separate product line income statements and balance sheets and the internal workpapers used to determine the expenses that were allocated to export vs. nonexport sales. Determining the related supplier's net income attributable to export sales is critical in determining the commission the IC-DISC should have been charging to the related supplier.
The guidelines then instruct the examining agent to review the information from a broadly conceptual approach, keeping in mind whether (1) the workpapers and related Form 1120-IC-DISC, Schedules P, Intercompany Transfer Price or Commission, were prepared on a tax basis (as opposed to book basis); (2) the expense allocations are reasonable (i.e., large expenses not allocated to export income should be scrutinized); (3) the intercompany pricing rules of Sec. 994 have been followed; and (4) the allocations are made in accordance with Regs. Sec. 1.861-8. The result may require further analysis (e.g., if the IC-DISC's profit on export sales far exceeded profits on sales of similar products sold in the United States by the supplier).
The guide also informs agents about other issues relevant to the examination. By the time examiners begin to look into the following five issues, they should already understand the rules regarding IC-DISCs as well as have a basic understanding of the taxpayer's industry.
For U.S. companies that earn significant revenue through export sales operations, an IC-DISC can be a beneficial tax planning device. Because of the increased number of IC-DISC returns being filed, the IRS is now planning to audit these returns in greater detail, making sure that taxpayers are following all of the strict statutory and regulatory requirements. Whether taxpayers are planning to form an IC-DISC, currently operating one, or are already subject to an IC-DISC audit, the newly released audit guidelines can help them prepare for an examination.

Rangers head coach John Tortorella was very pleased with how his players overcame a shaky first period and rediscovered the best of their game at home on Monday night over the second and third periods, as well as overtime. That positive momentum led to an easy 2-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in an overtime shootout.
The coach also had high praise for rookie J.T. Miller, who scored the deciding goal in the shootout.
Hear what Tortorella had to say to reporters after the big win that set the stage for another key game on Tuesday night at New Jersey.

Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said the player to be named is a "significant" prospect that will be chosen from a pool of three Minor Leaguers the team is still evaluating and will be determined in the next three weeks.
Furbush and Wells will join the Mariners' 25-man roster and be active for Sunday's series finale against Tampa Bay. Martinez will report to Double-A Jackson in the Southern League.
"What we did is acquire players we're going to have for a long time," Zduriencik said. "When you start looking at controlling younger players for five-six years, that's pretty good. We've said we want to accumulate talent and stockpile players who'll be here for a long time and players that fit needs we have.
"In this trade we'll get immediate help in a couple guys coming here right to the big leagues and a couple very good prospects."
Fister has been the Mariners' hard-luck story this season, with the lowest run-support average in the American League resulting in a 3-12 record despite his 3.33 ERA. Seattle totaled just 10 runs in his 12 losses.
"Obviously it's a whirlwind of emotions," Fister said, "but I'm excited to get over there and be a Tiger."
Pauley developed into a quality reliever this season, his first full-time stint out of the bullpen and has a 2.15 ERA in 39 appearances.
Manager Eric Wedge said both Pauley and Fister had stepped up strong this season and deserved the opportunity to compete on a playoff push with the Tigers, who currently lead the AL Central, but said this was the type of deal that should benefit the Mariners in the long run.
"There are always x-factors involved," said Wedge, "but the fact of the matter is that we felt like we could make a deal that would help us be better now and into the future, and that's what we did."
Martinez, 20, played in the Futures Game this month and is a big third baseman with power potential. He's hitting .282 with seven home runs in 91 games at Double-A Erie. Zduriencik said Martinez is one of the youngest Double-A players in the Minors and was rated one of the Tigers' top prospects coming into the year.
"Our people say he's got great work habits, a kid with a lot of desire and the future is ahead of him," Zduriencik said. "We think he can be an everyday player -- and a significant one."
Wells, 26, can play all three outfield spots and is regarded as a very good defender and a right-handed hitter with some power potential as well who'll get an immediate shot with Seattle.
Wells is batting .257 with four home runs, 12 RBIs and a .323 on-base percentage in 64 games this season with the Tigers, his second in the Majors. He hit .323 with four home runs and 17 RBIs last year in 36 games, giving him a two-year average of .286 in 100 games.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Wells was a 14th-round Draft pick by the Tigers in 2005. He becomes arbitration eligible in 2013 and won't be eligible for free agency until '16.
"There's no question we're offensively challenged," Zduriencik said. "One of the things we tried to do from the very beginning is acquire a right-handed bat. We got a guy who has extra-base power, he's athletic and can play all three outfield spots."
Wedge said Wells would fit into the left-field mix with rookies Mike Carp and Greg Halman and could play center and right as well.
Furbush, a 25-year-old rookie and a fourth-round pick in 2007, is 1-3 with a 3.62 ERA in 32 1/3 innings and 17 appearances, two of which were starts.
Zduriencik said Furbush will be given a shot as a starter with the Mariners, though Wedge noted he'd need to be built up before getting tossed totally into the rotation picture.

Brazil: piling on the protectionism
Samantha Pearson | September 6, 2012 | FT blog
Brazil's tax system these days increasingly resembles the country's popular soap operas or 'telenovelas'- convoluted, farcical and incredibly hard to follow.
After months of frequent tax breaks and hikes, the finale of Brazilian protectionism seemed to come on Tuesday night with the announcement of higher import taxes on no less than 100 products.
On the list was everything from potatoes to rubber tyres along with other products from the steel, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
The logic behind the decision was clear – fend off the foreigners and help boost domestic manufacturing, which has been one of the main drags on growth.
This from Reuters:
We live in a time when the world market is shrinking and exporters flood Brazil, which is one of the few growing markets, and our industry is being harmed by this," (Finance Minister Guido) Mantega told reporters in Brasília.
The move certainly went down well with the country's steelmakers on Wednesday. Preferential shares in Usiminas surged over 18 per cent, while CSN was up over 8 per cent.
And it seems there may even be a sequel to Tuesday's move. According to local media, the government is busy preparing another list of 100 products for tax increases in October.
But if you're worried that all this may create further inflationary pressures, just at a time when the central bank president Alexandre Tombini has been aggressively cutting interest rates, don't be.
Mantega has got Tombini's back. He said on Tuesday that if the protected industries raise domestic prices, the government would immediately lower the import tariffs.
While the move certainly went down well in the favoured industries, analysts were not so impressed.
This from Alberto Ramos at Goldman Sachs:
The increase in trade protectionism finds weak justification in a country that is still running a solid US$23bn trade surplus.
Furthermore, the increase in external tariffs may put added pressure on inflation and will likely lead to costly trade diversion.
Increasing the level of protection and trade isolationism tend to be associated with lower productivity growth as it softens competition in the domestic market (usually leads to lower levels of investment in R&D and reduces the incentive to innovate and move the technology frontier). Finally, trade protection is usually mostly a short-term palliative that distracts from the structural headwinds impacting the industrial sector in Brazil: namely, higher labor, energy, and logistical costs, a high and distortionary tax burden, lack of qualified labor, inadequate public infrastructure, etc., to name just a few.
