On the way to Valdez
On our way to Valdez, we stopped in Palmer which is north of Anchorage. We wanted to go to the Matanaska Glacier. It's the only one in Alaska that you can get to it by car and walk on it. It was incredible. It's 4 miles wide and over 20 miles long. As you walk out it looks like you are walking on dirt. But then you hear the crunching sound and you realize you are walking on ice. You can hear water running under the glacier. It ...
Four Nights Valdez
... br> Valdez has to be one of the most beautiful places on the planet – as we later heard from out pilot on the tour boat to Columbia Glacier – "This is why they call Switzerland the Valdez of Europe"
Valdez is the snowiest place in US – average annual snow fall is 27 feet. The one road into Valdez goes through Thompson pass which has an annual snow fall of 45 feet. Valdez was ...
Tok to Valdez

We headed south and the sun began to break out a bit. The road is also the path for the annual Fireweed 400 bicycle ...
A Relaxing Ferry Ride To Valdez!
... into town for dinner. Decided on a place along the harbor called, "The Fat Mermaid" ~ thought it was a CD playing "somewhere over the rainbow" but when we walked in, saw that it was an actual Hawaiian man. He was great & I bought his CD & a "fat mermaid" t-shirt. After dinner I returned to the harbor to take photos, Valdez is such a beautiful small town referred to as "Little Switzerland". And unfortunately known for the 1989 oil spill.
Alaska Ablaze
... unfortunately as they don't pop up for long and when they do they are always someplace different.
I don't know how but the scenery just keeps on getting better and better. I thought the fall colours of last week were special but this we they are spectacular. The road from Palmer to Glen allen ( The Glen Highway ) was just ablaze with colour. All the trees were bright yellow and ...

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Mixed Use Utility Conservation Strategies
Q. Our frequently used facility, a church and school, is 100,000 square feet. It is all electric. Our last bill was $15,000 for the month (whereas an average month is $13,000). We use heat pumps and variable air velocity units for our heating and cooling. What can we do to evaluate our power usage and help us conserve?

Investigate converting to geothermal heating and cooling. If you do not have proximity to a body of water, which would be the least expensive way to install, use one of two underground methods: 1)if you have enough land, use a horizontal system; or 2) if you are limited to ground area, use a vertical system. Up until 2014, you will get a tax credit of 33% including materials and installation if you do any of these.

Chef Wanted: James Beach Updateby Sara Levine in Shows, July 1st, 2012
At James Beach in Venice, Calif., owners James Evans and Daniel Samakow called in Anne Burrell to find a new executive chef for their modern comfort food spot. Anne brought in four candidates, and after two grueling challenges and exhausting nights of service, James and Daniel extended an offer to Vincent Walker.
Vincent, a three-time cancer survivor, impressed the owners and Anne with his determination and delicious food. "This kid is a fighter," Anne said. "He's ready to resume his dream of becoming an executive chef." Several weeks after the show was filmed, we checked in with the owners to see how Vincent is doing in his new job.
Right after Chef Wanted was filmed, Vincent got married. "We gave him time to wed and leave his prior position," the owners explain. "He has been meeting with us throughout, but has officially started this week."
The owners are thrilled that James Beach is having a record year in terms of sales, and they only expect things to get better: "Summer , our busy season, is right around the corner, and with the new chef and the show, we expect it to be off the charts."
Vincent has already hit the ground running by rearranging the kitchen for greater efficiency. His camaraderie with the kitchen staff was apparent during his night of service on the show and it has continued now that he's their full-time chef: "The staff appreciates having someone with his spirit and knowledge working with them. He's shown that he looks and listens to the staff before he acts."
As Vincent gears up to launch his new menu, the owners have been tasting new dishes from him every day. "Yesterday he added thyme and buttermilk to our fried calamari and grilled the lemon. We loved it and James just heard customers at the next booth rave about it," says Daniel. Vincent has also been playing with the restaurant's classic mac-and-cheese, adding a confit of Nueske bacon: "It was a revelation."
The beet panzanella salad, grilled asparagus salad and mesquite-smoked lamb chops that Vincent prepared on the show will also be featured on his new menu, which is set to roll out in early July.
James and Daniel are confident that Anne Burrell found them a great new hire: "He is an amazingly hard worker and team player. We could not be happier as we start going down this road together."

*China imports plunge 20 pct. "Many countries... rely heavily on sales to China so unless this demand picks up in the coming quarters, not only are we going to see below 7 percent growth in the world's second-largest economy, it's going to decline sharply for many of its trade partners as well," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda in London.» Read More
Oil prices rose on Tuesday as concerns about a newly formed tropical storm in the Atlantic countered fresh troubles in credit markets.
U.S. producer prices rose by a more-than-expected 0.6% in July, Labor Department data on Tuesday showed, but the gain was driven by energy costs and core inflation facing producers grew only slightly.
China's retail sales growth accelerated in July, the government said on Tuesday, reflecting strong household spending in the world's fourth-largest economy but also a pick-up in inflation that is worrying policy makers.
Galloping food prices boosted Chinese consumer inflation to 5.6% in July, the highest rate in more than a decade, leaving the central bank with a dilemma over whether to tighten policy further.
Oil edged lower on Friday as the crisis in world credit markets weighed on investor sentiment, but a late rally after central banks plowed more cash into the financial system erased most of the day's losses.
A market crash, currency meltdowns, bubbles and war … Alan Greenspan weathered them all during his stint as Fed chief.
Though it may not seem like much by the relatively loquacious and candid ways of his successor Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan was a proponent of transparency and made the Fed more transparent than his predecessors– even if his speeches and official testimony were memorably obtuse.
Tracts about the Federal Reserve and its chairmen may not fill book shelves the way ones about the Constitution, the Supreme Court or presidents do, but they've be come more common in recent years.
Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan ran the central bank during interesting times, marked by many significant global events and financial shocks, which will no doubt figure into his aptly titled, forthcoming book "The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World". Here are the major events and moments of the Greenspan era.
Alan Greenspan has received more than his share of awards and honorary degrees in his storied career. Earlier this year, Greenspan was the recipient of a special Lifetime Achievement Award at CNBC's third annual Executive Leadership Awards ceremony in New York.
China's wholesale inflation rate unexpectedly slowed in July, showing cost pressures at the factory gate remain in check despite a food-related surge in consumer prices.
Oil rose Wednesday, as draws in U.S. crude and gasoline stockpiles overcame wider concerns about the health of the world's largest economy.
Crude oil prices rose Tuesday, pulling out of a nosedive after news of new refinery problems in the United States rekindled supply worries during the summer driving season.
Oil and gasoline futures plunged Monday, on concerns about the economy's health and as investors sold to lock in profits from last week's record-setting rally.
Oil tumbled below $76 per barrel Friday, dragged down as disappointing U.S. economic data helped send stock markets down again
Oil rose near an all-time high on Thursday, as OPEC officials said the producer group would not hike output, despite concerns of a supply shortfall.
The European Central Bank kept its core lending rate at 4% Thursday, as widely expected, but a hike in September was signaled. The Bank of England also held steady, leaving rates at 5.75%.
Oil prices retreated after jumping to a new record Wednesday on the government's report of a steep drop in crude inventories and surge in refinery activity.
Oil futures settled at a record high above $78 Tuesday on expectations that crude inventories fell last week and reports of new violence in Nigeria, a large oil producer and key supplier to the U.S.
Inflation in the 13 nations that use the euro fell to 1.8 % in July, the EU statistics agency said Tuesday, as business confidence weakened from a near-record high.

How to talk about Data Structures
2008-02-17 | Filed Under Programming
I've been interviewing lately for "senior programmer" positions. I find it outright astonishing how many applicants for these positions lack what I would consider the most fundamental of programming skills. Some people have suggested using FizzBuzz (a trivial programming exercise) as a filter; what I use is a discussion of data structures.
I don't expect that the people I am hiring should be experts in the behavior of obscure data structures. I don't expect them to be able to invent something like Xor-linked lists on their own. But I do wish that they could describe the features of common data structures and talk about them in a way that demonstrates that they comprehend the advantages and disadvantages of different choices.
The first key idea behind data structures is the distinction between interface and implementation. Of course, this is fundamental to all object-oriented programming, but is particularly visible in the area of data structures. An interface is the specification of what a data structure can do, and there can be and often are more than one actual implementation (or actual working code) that can implement the interface. For instance, a "list" (an ordered collection of objects) can be implemented using an array, using a doubly-linked-list, or using a hashmap, and each has different strengths and weaknesses. By separating out WHAT needs to be done from HOW it is implemented you allow the choice of "how" to be revised later without difficulty.
The second key idea behind data structures is that they vary, generally, in two ways: speed and space, and that these need to be measured using complexity theory ("Big-O notation").
In most cases, any structure or algorithm will do when the size of things is small. Even randomsort doesn't take very long to sort a list of length 6 on modern hardware. Building from this insight, complexity theory makes no attempt to measure just how long something takes; instead it measures how that running time increases with some key size (like the number of items in the data structure). If something takes O(items in the collection) time, that means (roughly) that the time is proportional to the size of the collection, for large enough collections. The thing that varies is usually given a name, so one will say "with this structure, re-sorting takes O(N) time" where N is defined (or implied) to be the number of items in the collection.
These are the fundamental ways a programmer should think about any data structure: first separate out the interface from the particular implementation details, then evaluate the implementation in terms of how long various operations take (and how much space is required) paying attention just to the asymptotic behavior. Thus one might think: "For this list, I'll be spending most of the time accessing the items out of order, so an array, where random access is O(1), would be a good choice." Or else "In that list I'll often be inserting items at random positions within the list, so I'd better not use an array where insertion takes O(N)… I'd be better off with a linked list where insertion takes O(1)."
My team is hiring right now, and unfortunately, much like those who recommend the use of FizzBuzz as a bozo filter, I too find that an enormous proportion of the applicants (even of those with "8 years experience at J2EE development") are simply incapable of doing that reasoning. So if you are hoping to get hired on my team, expect to be answering a question about basic data structures. My dream is to someday hire a developer who can think this: "Gee, this list needs is built using random insertions, then it is accessed in a random order. What kind of data structure could I use that would do both efficiently?".

Quality Indicators for Colonoscopy and the Risk of Interval Cancer
ABSTRACT Although rates of detection of adenomatous lesions (tumors or polyps) and cecal intubation are recommended for use as quality indicators for screening colonoscopy, these measurements have not been validated, and their importance remains uncertain.
We used a multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model to evaluate the influence of quality indicators for colonoscopy on the risk of interval cancer. Data were collected from 186 endoscopists who were involved in a colonoscopy-based colorectal-cancer screening program involving 45,026 subjects. Interval cancer was defined as colorectal adenocarcinoma that was diagnosed between the time of screening colonoscopy and the scheduled time of surveillance colonoscopy. We derived data on quality indicators for colonoscopy from the screening program's database and data on interval cancers from cancer registries. The primary aim of the study was to assess the association between quality indicators for colonoscopy and the risk of interval cancer.
A total of 42 interval colorectal cancers were identified during a period of 188,788 person-years. The endoscopist's rate of detection of adenomas was significantly associated with the risk of interval colorectal cancer (P=0.008), whereas the rate of cecal intubation was not significantly associated with this risk (P=0.50). The hazard ratios for adenoma detection rates of less than 11.0%, 11.0 to 14.9%, and 15.0 to 19.9%, as compared with a rate of 20.0% or higher, were 10.94 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.37 to 87.01), 10.75 (95% CI, 1.36 to 85.06), and 12.50 (95% CI, 1.51 to 103.43), respectively (P=0.02 for all comparisons).
The adenoma detection rate is an independent predictor of the risk of interval colorectal cancer after screening colonoscopy.

- "A study with 23-year follow-up found an ~53% mortality reduction in patients undergoing CS; a similar rate was found at 10 years in patients with and without adenomatous lesions (Zauber et al., 2012). CS requires specialized personnel: poor operator skill, partial examination, poor patient preparation and inadequate sedation are the main causes of failure and false negatives (Kaminski et al., 2010); successful examination with concomitant lesion removal reduces the risk of same-site recurrence (Brenner et al., 2013). CS screening is usually offered at 10-year intervals to individuals aged ≥50. "
ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer is a major public health challenge worldwide. In Europe it is the first malignancy in terms of incidence and the second in terms of mortality in both genders. Despite evidence indicating that removal of premalignant and early-stage cancer lesion scan greatly reduce mortality, remarkable differences are still found among countries both in terms of organized screening programs and of the tests used. In 2003 the European Council recommended that priority be given to activation of organized cancer screening programs, and various States have been making significant efforts to adopt effective prevention programs with international quality standards and centralizing screening organization and result evaluation. After a 2008 EU report on the state of screening program activation highlighted that little more than 50% (12/22) of Member States had colorectal cancer screening programs, screening programs have been adopted or earlier pilot projects have been extended nationwide. This paper examines the state of activation and the screening strategies of colorectal cancer screening programs in EU States as of July 2013.Preventive Medicine 05/2014; 62.

- "These cut-offs might be an underestimation of the true prevalence of adenomas in the population. A large cohort study found that as the ADR increased, the rate of interval adenocarcinomas detected between a screening colonoscopy and the next scheduled surveillance colonoscopy decreased.[14] Furthermore, a retrospective chart review from Mayo Clinic, Arizona, found that the ADR reached up to 42% for some gastroenterologists.[15] "
Article: Prevalence and Characteristics of Colonic Polyps and Adenomas in 2654 Colonoscopies in Saudi Arabia[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background/Aims: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common malignancy in the Saudi population, with an increasing incidence over the past 20 years. We aim to determine the baseline polyp as well as adenoma prevalence in a large cohort of patients and to find the possible age in which, if deemed appropriate, a CRC screening program should be initiated. Patients and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using an endoscopic reporting database of individuals seen at a major tertiary care university hospital (King Khalid University Hospital) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Consecutive Saudi patients who underwent a colonoscopy between August 2007 and April 2012 were included. Patients were excluded if the indication for the colonoscopy was colon cancer, colonic resection, active colitis, active diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, or if the patient was referred for polypectomy. Results: 2654 colonoscopies were included in the study. The mean age of the study population was 50.5 years [standard deviation (SD) 15.9] and females represented 57.7%. The polyp detection rate in completed colonoscopies was 20.8% (95% CI: 19.2-22.5). Adenomas were found in 8.1% (95% CI: 7.1-9.1), while advanced adenomas were found in only 0.5% (95% CI: 0.2-0.7). Adenomas were found in the left side of the colon in 33.9%, followed by the rectum in 14.6%, ascending colon and cecum in 14.2%, transverse colon in 8.7%, and in multiple locations in 28.7%. Those with a prior history of polyps or CRC were more likely to have an adenoma at colonoscopy than those who did not (14.3% vs. 6.6%; P < 0.01). The adenoma prevalence varied between age groups and ranged from 6.2% to 13.6% with a higher proportion in older individuals; this trend was seen both in males (6.0-14.5%) and females (6.4-14.6%) as well as in those who had screening colonoscopies (6.3-18.4%). No age could be found at which a CRC screening program would be appropriate to initiate. Conclusion: The prevalence of polyps and adenomas in this cohort is less than that reported in the Western populations. But as this cohort included younger and symptomatic patients with only a small proportion undergoing screening, further studies in an asymptomatic population are needed.Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology 05/2014; 20(3):154-61.

- "An effective colonoscopy is necessary for early diagnosis of colorectal cancer precursor lesions, adenomas, or serrated lesions. The adenoma detection rate has been validated by endoscopists as a predictor of interval cancer and a surrogate indicator of the quality of screening colonoscopy [7,8]. Wide variability in the adenoma detection rate exists among endoscopists in previous studies [9,10], and the adenoma detection rate has also shown a strong correlation with serrated lesion detection rate. "
Article: Age-specific prevalence of serrated lesions and their subtypes by screening colonoscopy: a retrospective study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Serrated lesions of the colorectum as categorized by pathology include hyperplastic polyps, sessile serrated adenomas without dysplasia, and traditional serrated adenomas with dysplasia. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of various subtypes of serrated lesions by age. In this study, 28,544 consecutive asymptomatic patients (aged 22-88 years) were evaluated during health check-ups involving colonoscopies performed by gastroenterologists at a single institution from 2005 to 2012. The adenoma detection rate during colonoscopies for patients aged >=50 years was 31.8% (25.0-35.8%). The serrated lesion detection rate for patients aged >=50 years was 15.3% (10.5-19.6%). Serrated lesions were detected in 15.1% of all patients with subtype prevalences of 14.7% for hyperplastic polyps, 0.5% for sessile serrated adenomas, and 0.1% for traditional serrated adenomas. The prevalence of conventional adenomas increased sharply with age (5.0% in patients aged 20-29 years, 10.9% in those aged 30-39 years, 21.8% in those aged 40-49 years, 29.5% in those aged 50-59 years, 36.9% in those aged 60-69 years, and 40.7% in those aged >=70 years) (trend P = 0.027). In contrast, the prevalence of serrated lesions increased only slightly with age (10.0% in patients aged 20-29 years, 11.8% in those aged 30-39 years, 14.8% in those aged 40-49 years, 15.3% in those aged 50-59 years, 16.8% in those aged 60-69 years, and 16.4% in those aged >=70 years) (trend P = 0.036). The screening colonoscopy detection rate of serrated lesions, including sessile serrated adenomas and traditional serrated adenomas, appears to be relatively high among young patients aged <50 years.BMC Gastroenterology 04/2014; 14(1):82.

Creative ZiiO 7 arrives at the Android 2.2 arena
The Creative ZiiO 7 has received an Android update boost, with its makers announcing that the 7-inch tablet is to get access to Froyo and all the goodies that come with it.
We know, this is news that would have been much more exciting around 6 months ago (it's almost like the ZiiO 7 has turned up at a party just as everyone is grabbing their coats to leave), but it will still be a welcome boost to the Creative community, so long stuck in the Android 2.1 wilderness.
It will mean ZiiO 7 users will have the choice whether to install apps to the SD card or the internal memory, view web pages in full and mobile varieties, lock their device with a pin or password and also make use of the text-to-speech function.
The update will be available from support.creative.com from 25 March, and any new ZiiO 7s bought from now on will automatically be rocking 2.2.
Creative has also said the ZiiO 10 will begin shipping with Froyo next month.

From John Develops: Main benefits Hard disk drive is an integral part of every computer. It stores all your information. One of the most prevalent defects of hard drives is bad sectors on the disk surface. Bad sectors are a part of the disk surface which contains not readable, but frequently necessary information. As a result of bad sectors you may have difficulties to read and copy data from your disk, your operating system becomes unstable and finally your computer may unable to boot altogether. When a hard drive is damaged with bad sectors, the disk not only becomes unfit for use, but also you risk losing information stored on it. The HDD Regenerator can repair damaged hard disks without affecting or changing existing data. As a result, previously unreadable and inaccessible information is restored.

EUROPE/SPAIN - "Ad gentes Missionary vocation", the main form of missionary cooperation
Madrid (Agenzia Fides) - The "Days" of Diocesan Delegates for the Missions and the National Assembly of diocesan Directors of the Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS) are being held in Madrid.
With the slogan "Ad gentes missionary vocation", this formation meeting brings together, from May 19 to 21, the principal leaders of missionary animation in the Spanish dioceses, and is jointly organized by the Episcopal Commission for the Missions and Cooperation among the Churches, and by the national Directorate of the Pontifical Mission Societies in Spain.
The note sent to Fides Agency stresses that the primary objective of this event, which takes place annually, is to reflect on the Ad gentes missionary vocation as the main form of missionary cooperation among the Churches. In addition, the exchange of experience on formation and support for missionary vocations will also be carried out, with indication for the main lines of action for next year and for the World Mission Day (DOMUND). Among the interventions and conferences in program , His Exc. Mgr. Protase Rugambwa, President of the PMS, spoke yesterday on the theme: "There is no mission without missionaries. Topicality of the Mission territories". (CE) (Agenzia Fides 20/05/2014)

Our nanny was amazed at how well all three girls read, and how much they read. She wanted to know our 'trick', but the only thing we could say was that both my husband and I love to read, and the girls modeled our behavior. We had reading material all over the house, never had the TV on during meals (but read the newspaper at breakfast), and made regular trips to libraries and bookstores.
The greatest thing is traveling with our reading kids. They each fill a backpack with reading material, and whether we're on the subway for five stops, a car trip or a cross-country flight, they are absorbed in their books, and my husband and I can catch up on back issues of The New Yorker.
Oddly enough, it turns out that my youngest daughter, Nora, has a vision tracking problem that impairs her ability to read. But she has been overcompensating. So much so that, at 8, she is reading, and enjoying, Little Women. When she learned how to read, she would lose her place within a word, making sounding out unfamiliar words impossible for her. But she was reading so well in kindergarten that no one thought there was anything wrong. Luckily, this problem was caught early enough, and did not frustrate her too much; as someone who used to tutor elementary school children with reading problems, I know first hand that kids who don't catch on to reading quickly are often so discouraged that they give up on themselves.
Even once our kids could read, we still read books aloud to them, particularly at bedtime. The older girls loved when we took a huge book like Heidi, and read it over a couple of weeks. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that listening skills were critical on standardized tests later in elementary school, and to see that our home read-alouds had helped our girls become better listeners.
Keeping kids reading in their teen years becomes challenging again — middle and high schoolers often have so much required reading that they won't read for pleasure. Or they read trashy books. I've tried not to become too alarmed at the proliferation of Gossip Girls books, and keep leaving books around that Hallie, who is now 14, might enjoy. On her own, she has picked up Jane Eyre and Memoirs of a Geisha. She'll even page through The New Yorker when she's done with Seventeen magazine. We're so proud.

Why why why would you kill such a nice magazine
This is ridiculous, why would I want to pay $30 for a digital subscription. I can already view practically all the issues online (all but the last 2). So why would I want to pay to get some silly pdf file which will likely still be full of ads. I hope you rethink this decision since I certainly was not aware of this change until the decision had already been made.
Frustrate customer, will not be renewing without print.
P.S. HOW is this a benefit of digital over a physical magazine? "Off-line reading: you can download one article or the entire magazine and conveniently take with you. You also can print any pages you want." I can take my whole magazine with me as it is, no need to download anything.
Please tell me this is a horribly thought up and ridiculously late April fools joke.
I agree with the OP and would add...
...that what I was paying for was the delivery, not the content. The blog-o-sphere is full of great Linux info. If I'm having a problem or trying to do something with my computer, chances are someone else has already solved it or done it and then blogged or wikied about it.
I like the magazine's organization and the fact that it introduced me to new things, but mostly I was paying for the delivery in paper form. If I'm not getting the delivery in paper form then there isn't much reason to pay for it - if I have to go to my computer to get the content, I might as well just surf over somewhere else where I can get the content for free.

When Your Audience Outgrows You
by Bobbie Carlton on Feb 24, 1:00 PM
To engage with tweens, marketers must first capture their attention, then their imagination, then their loyalty; all this without alienating parents who want "more" for their kids but are wary of anything that smacks of shortening the distance between childhood and the teen years. Here are some ideas.

The Way To A Kid's Stomach Is Through The Mom
by Amy Henry on Feb 3, 1:00 PM
Two-thirds of moms want provide something for lunch that their kids will eat without supervision. As many want there to be a taste their kids will love. While we traditionally think of the after-school snack as a kid-owned occasion, six out of ten of moms look for snack items that can appeal to the whole family. So, for marketers, it's important to message to their ideal, and ensure that you're considering their reality in the packaging and product form that you provide.

Tax Compliance:
Thousands of Federal Contractors Abuse the Federal Tax System
GAO-07-742T: Published: Apr 19, 2007. Publicly Released: Apr 19, 2007.

Since 1990, GAO has periodically reported on high-risk federal programs that are vulnerable to fraud, waste, and abuse. Two such high-risk areas are managing federal contracts more effectively and assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of federal tax administration. Weaknesses in the tax area continue to expose the federal government to significant losses of tax revenue and increase the burden on compliant taxpayers to fund government activities. Over the last several years, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations requested GAO to investigate Department of Defense (DOD), civilian agency, and General Services Administration (GSA) contractors that abused the federal tax system. Based on that work GAO made recommendations to executive agencies including to improve the controls over levying payments to contractors with tax debt--many of which have been implemented--and referred 122 contractors to IRS for further investigation and prosecution. As requested, this testimony will highlight the key findings from prior testimonies and related reports. This testimony will (1) describe the magnitude of tax debt owed by federal contractors, (2) provide examples of federal contractors involved in abusive and potentially criminal activity related to the federal tax system, and (3) describe current law and proposed federal regulations for screening contractors with tax debts prior to the award of a contract.
In our previous audits and related investigations, we reported that thousands of federal contractors had substantial amounts of unpaid federal taxes. Specifically, about 27,000 DOD contractors, 33,000 civilian agency contractors, and 3,800 GSA contractors owed about $3 billion, $3.3 billion, and $1.3 billion in unpaid taxes, respectively. These estimates were understated because they excluded federal contractors that understated their income or did not file their tax returns; however, some contractors may be counted in more than one of these groups. As part of this work, we conducted more in-depth investigations of 122 federal contractors and in all cases found abusive and potentially criminal activity related to the federal tax system. Many of these 122 contractors were small, closely held companies that provided a variety of goods and services, including landscaping, consulting, catering, and parts or support for weapons and other sensitive programs for many federal agencies including the departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security. These contractors had not forwarded payroll taxes withheld from their employees and other taxes to IRS. Willful failure to remit payroll taxes is a felony under U.S. law. Furthermore, some company owners diverted payroll taxes for personal gain or to fund their businesses. A number of owners or officers of the 122 federal contractors owned significant personal assets, including a sports team, multimillion dollar houses, a high-performance airplane, and luxury vehicles. Several owners gambled hundreds of thousands of dollars at the same time they were not paying the taxes that their businesses owed. Federal law, as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), does not now require contractors to disclose tax debts or contracting officers consider tax debts in making contracting decisions. Federal contractors that do not pay tax debts could have an unfair competitive advantage in costs because they have lower costs than tax compliant contractors on government contracts. GAO's investigation identified instances in which contractors with tax debts won awards based on price differential over tax compliant contractors.

(Sun Sentinel/Getty Images)Pacers swingman Paul George has been diagnosed with a concussion after sustaining an injury during Tuesday night's 87-83 loss to the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.During the fourth quarter, George was kneed in the back of the head by Miami's Dywane Wade. When Wade's knee hit George's head, George went -- and stayed -- down.He was checked out by Indiana's medical staff, but he denied dizziness, nausea, issues with his vision and on the surface exhibited no concussion symptoms. In a statement released Wednesday, the Pacers said that George reported after the game that he "blacked out" on the play. From the Pacers' statement:Because of the statement and Indiana's ongoing evaluation and management of potential concussions, George underwent further testing and evaluation Wednesday morning. He has been diagnosed by the team's consulting neurologist with a concussion, based on his post-game reporting that he had briefly lost consciousness during the game. He will begin the NBA-mandated protocol for return-to-participation after a diagnosed concussion. Promoted Stories Comments

This documentary feature takes an in-depth look at the rapid rise and dramatic fall of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. Nicknamed "The Sheriff of Wall Street," when he was NY's Attorney General, Eliot Spitzer prosecuted crimes by America's largest financial institutions and some of the most powerful executives in the country. After his election as Governor, with the largest margin in the state's history, many believed Spitzer was on his way to becoming the nation's first Jewish President. Then, shockingly, Spitzer's meteoric rise turned into a precipitous fall when the New York Times revealed that Spitzer--the paragon of rectitude--had been caught seeing prostitutes. As his powerful enemies gloated, his supporters questioned the timing of it all: as the Sheriff fell, so did the financial markets, in a cataclysm that threatened to unravel the global economy. With unique access to the escort world as well as friends, colleagues and enemies of the ex-Governor (many of whom have come forward for the first time) the film explores the hidden contours of this tale of hubris, sex, and power.

We've got a good feeling about this – if it's true! Han Solo is reportedly returning in "Star Wars: Episode VII" and he'll be played once again by Harrison Ford.
According to Latino Review, the 70-year-old actor will reprise his iconic role that he last played in 1983's "Return of the Jedi."
The actor's deal to return to the franchise was reportedly "significant," but details surrounding how much screen time Han will get and how integral he'll be to the story are still not known.
Disney has yet to comment on the reported casting.
In November, Entertainment Weekly reported that Ford had expressed interested in returning to Disney's planned new "Star Wars" movies.
The reported return of Han is a total reversal of how the actor felt about the character in 2010, when he told ABC, "I thought he should have died in the last one, just to give it some bottom; some gravitas. George didn't think there was any future in dead Han toys."
Adding, "I don't think there's a way to weave him back into the story."
