National Bank Financial Group announces recipients of student bursaries
National Bank Financial Group today announced the names of the three recipients in the 20th edition of its bursary and summer employment program for students with functional limitations.
National Bank Financial Group is proud to award a $2,500 bursary to Anselmo Billy Da Silveira, a student of IT technologies at the CEGEP du Vieux Montréal. He also received a 10-week summer job at the Equipment, Software and Database Expertise Centre, at the head office in Montreal.
Cinthia Jean, who is working towards a Bachelor's in Business Administration at the Université de Moncton, received a $5,000 bursary and a 12-week summer job as a customer service representative at a branch of the National Bank Financial Group in New Brunswick.
Finally, Kristina Wiech, who is studying for a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, received a $5,000 bursary and 12-week summer job as a customer service representative at a branch in Oshawa.
The candidates were selected by a jury made up of university administrators and representatives from service organizations for persons with disabilities. In addition to offering financial support, the Bank's bursary and summer employment program helps candidates acquire work experience in their field of study.
Since its launch in 1989, the National Bank Financial Group Bursary and Summer Employment Program has helped more than 61 college and university students with functional limitations develop their skills in the workplace and gain valuable experience in an area related to their studies. The program also raises awareness among the Financial Group's employees to the realities of living with functional limitations.
In 2008, through its donations and sponsorships program and the initiatives of its employees, National Bank Financial Group helped support hundreds of organizations across Canada. It focuses primarily on four main areas of activity – health, education, arts and culture, and community outreach – with the goal of generating positive spinoffs for communities.
More information on the many causes and projects the Financial Group supports as part of its commitment to the communities it serves can be found on the Bank's Social Responsibility Report on its website at www.nbc.ca/socialresponsibility

Watch Shoah
Concentration camp survivors, witnesses and former Nazis agreed to be interviewed by director Claude Lanzmann and gave him enough information for 9 1/2 hours of film about the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust. Lanzmann asks for the most minute details when he interviews his subjects. It's very jarring but the answers make for an extraordinary oral history, a complete and chilling picture of the genocide that targeted all Jewish people in Europe.

My name is Fubu, and I was born around February 2016. I know Fubu seems like a weird name, but my mom is named Nike, and my siblings were Levi, Mudd, and Puma, so it was a theme. I am pretty much the most loving cat in the whole world. That's what I'm told anyway. I love everyone, and I'm happy everywhere. I'm just easy going and awesome! I am very good with dogs and cats. I come when I'm called, I like to sleep at the foot of my foster's bed, and I'm very good about coming when I'm called, so you could basically call me perfect.
The nice people who are caring for me asked me to let you know that all the adoptable cats are spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, up to date on vaccinations, and given a broad spectrum dewormer . The adoption fee for each cat is $75.00
You can apply to adopt or foster, and see other adoptable pets from Friends of the Mustang Animal Shelter here https://www.petstablished.com/organization/1043
Our organization is run by volunteers who work to prevent euthanasia at our city's shelter by providing vet care and finding homes for each animal at the shelter that is not reclaimed by their owners. All of our volunteers are unpaid, and all donations go to the care of the animals.
For information about volunteer opportunities, visit our website or send us a PM. http://fomas.webs.com/get-involved
You can apply to adopt or foster here https://www.petstablished.com/organization/1043
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Friends of the Mustang Animal Shelter.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

USDA's Commitment to Develop Food and Agricultural Workforce of the Future
Nearly 99% of farms in the United States are family operated, and they account for roughly 90% of agricultural production. With statistics like these, it's not surprising that many people associate jobs in agriculture with small-town America, farmers and tractors, and corn fields and cattle.
While the importance of farmers cannot be overstated, the diversity of careers available in the agricultural sector is staggering and often underappreciated. According to a 2013 study funded by USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), an average of 57,900 jobs will open every year from 2015 to 2020 and require a bachelor's degree or higher in food, agriculture, natural resources, or environmental studies. These jobs will include a range of sectors, including management and business; science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); food and biomaterials production; and education, communication, and government services. Strikingly, it is also expected that 39% of positions will go unfilled.
Numbers like these have many people in the agricultural sector scratching their heads in confusion. How can we attract young people into agricultural jobs?
To recruit, educate, and retain the next generation of agricultural professionals, USDA supports numerous educational programs, a few of which include: curricula development for K-12 classrooms; grants to educate young farmers and ranchers; pre- and post-doctoral fellowships that support young scientists; and scholarships dedicated to improving diversity within the agricultural workforce. In addition to these efforts, USDA recognizes that in order to attract young people into careers in agriculture, the stakeholder community must come together to discuss how we communicate about jobs in agriculture.
To initiate this conversation, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) recently hosted a two-day Workshop that brought together stakeholders from universities, government, non-government organizations, and the private sector to discuss growing needs in the agricultural workforce. During the meeting, sponsored in part by NIFA, participants brainstormed new ways to excite students about agriculture throughout all levels of education and discussed the needs for novel curricula that provide students with transferrable, high-tech skillsets. By supporting these discussions and others, USDA continues to identify ways to communicate with students that their interests in computer science, big data analysis, drone technologies, genomics, molecular biology, economics, international trade, and others, are perfectly aligned with the needs of the future agricultural workforce.
3 Responses to "USDA's Commitment to Develop Food and Agricultural Workforce of the Future"
do you have detailed results by state of jobs that will be created. Interested at looking at this from a workforce development angle.
Very interesting but not surprising when many positions are not advertised in a timely manner and have restrictions on "just who can apply". Equal opportunity employment generally provides opportunities for all who may be interested as long as education and experience qualification are met. When job opportunities arise and only candidates with certain GS ratings or time in service are considered, many potential candidates are eliminated. "Just an observation".
Workforce development in urban communities is a critical need to train our youth to pursue careers in science and technology. Agriculture and food nutrition are careers that are urban youth could go into if our schools and universities provide a pathway into these career and job opportunities. Our non-profit organization is interested in partnering with USDA and our land-grant colleges and universities to developing initiatives for our inner city urban youth to fill these agricultural jobs. Let's find a way to make this happen.

And that this is a matter of recycling existing listening sockets rather than anything keepalive-related. If so, I'm guessing a simple perl LWP script to make request after request for a known-size resource (and verifying the size returned) would do. Any other pointers or things to look for?

I knew you were lying about going silent. Darn it.<quoted text>
A parting thought, since you've disregarded an important part of my message.
But you continually disparage others..."stupid," "drunk," etc.
Pot, kettle?
Or is this just a racial issue and anyone else is fair game in your eyes?
You support disparaging others quite frequently and you won't own up to it.
I own everything I write. I would take some time to explain the differences between the use of words like "stupid" and "drunk" versus words like "coon" and "little girl," but frankly you wouldn't be able to understand it because you don't think on an abstract level. So I won't.

Chael Sonnen may disdain the rhetorical tricks of pro wrestlers, but his own words have the same carnival ring to them.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship's next challenger for the middleweight belt held by Anderson Silva portrays himself as a straight shooter and there's no reason to believe otherwise. The fighters, scheduled to headline UFC 117 next month, took part in a conference call today with reporters.
"I keep hearing this term 'hype' and I just don't know what it means," Sonnen said before proceeding to define it. "If you take pro wrestling -- a guy goes out, he does an interview that he creates, he rehearses it a few times and he sends it out there. That's called hype. ...You guys ask questions and I answer them. That's it. That's the fight business."
Business being the operative word. The one-word or one-sentence answers uttered by Silva today suggest that he has become tired of these packaged media affairs after more than three-and-half years as champion of UFC's middleweight division, but Sonnen still wants to make money.
The fact that Sonnen may believe his own statements doesn't meant they can't be exaggerated or timed for maximum effect. He's open about the fact that he's doing his best to sell the bout.
"If two guys are going to fight, let's give people a reason to watch them," Sonnen said. "You've got to understand, I could drag Anderson Silva outside the hotel and beat him up any time I want. I've made a commitment to wait until Aug. 7 and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure millions of people watch me do it."
Aspiring stars, take note: He made sure to mention the date. No wonder Sonnen's day job involves salesmanship -- it comes naturally to him.
While Silva spent most of the call imitating a blank canvas, Sonnen was furiously lobbing gobs of paint in hopes that whatever sticks will create a memorable image. Sonnen sees himself as:
• The toughest man in UFC.
"There's never been a guy with earrings who could out-tough me, and he's not going to be the first."
• A partner with UFC, while Silva is content to remain a mere employee.
"That's the reason all the questions keep coming me, because I give a coherent and clear answer that somebody wants to hear, and he sits on a speakerphone in a car somewhere and says 'Yes' and 'No.' "
• A one-man marketing machine.
"Of course, I'm promoting this fight myself, and that's the way it should be. Nobody wants to hear from Anderson anyway. I'm shocked with all these people that come on here and asking him questions. Who cares what Anderson has to say?"
• UFC 117's only main eventer with dedicated fans.
"You guys are the only fans he (Silva) has got, is the media. There's nobody buying tickets to see this guy. There's nobody selling merchandise because this guy's wearing it. There's nobody tuning into a pay-per-view.
"I'm the one carrying the show and that's the way it should be. ... I'm the one they're paying to see, and I really don't know why he's here."
• Mixed martial arts sponsors' darling, as opposed to Silva.
"Nobody sponsors him. Nobody puts their name on the guy, and nobody wants to dress like him, act like him or be like him. I, on the other hand, have a number of sponsors, a number of merchandise that's got my name on it. It's some of the best sellers out there. So I know who the fans are behind."
• Willing to fight anyone, rather than waiting for carefully selected opponents.
"That's what bullies do. That's what Anderson does. Guys go out and they pick their fights and they pick easy fights -- fighting math teachers from Ohio and one-legged guys from Canada.
"It's going to be a tremendous difference when he gets in with an All-American from Portland, Ore.
• The most accomplished middleweight in MMA.
"I beat the EliteXC champion. I beat Strikeforce champion. I beat Bodog's champion. I beat IFL's champion. I beat the WEC champion twice. I beat every champion of every company there's ever been, and there's not another middleweight living today that can make that claim, except for the UFC champion.
"The math teacher wouldn't fight me and neither would the spider, but he's here now. He's not here on his own freewill; he's here because Uncle Dana made him do it.
"I fought 12 guys in the top 10. I beat 10 of them. I fought the No. 1 guy in the world three times. I fought the No. 2 guy in the world two times. I beat them all. I beat every champion of every company there's ever been and nobody else can say that.
"I've accomplished far more in this sport than Anderson Silva. He's accomplished far more in this company than me, but he doesn't have the resume behind him, let alone the fights or the experience in this sport that I do."
The fact that you guys finally started paying attention versus the fact that I've been beating people up for eight years -- that's you guys being behind, not me.
If that isn't hype, then the word has no meaning.
But cut him some slack -- Sonnen needs to make a living too. He views his UFC 117 comrade-in-arms as ignorant of marketing necessities.
He lambasted Silva for a lack of enthusiasm about promoting the bout. The champion argues that the only that matters is the fight itself, but Sonnen begs to differ:
"He truly believes the answer he gave a few minutes ago, that people are tuning in to see a fight and not see anything else. He really means that. He feels like he's taking the moral high ground.
"He couldn't be more wrong. Does he know anything about business? Has this guy ever done anything? That's not what people are tuning in to see. People don't want to just see two people fight. They want to know why they're fighting.
"He comes on here and says something stupid as though he's saying some Nobel Prize-winning statement. He couldn't have this industry more backward."
Sonnen is probably right. There's a reason why Brock Lesnar generates the most buzz of anyone in UFC even though there are many heavyweights with deeper resumes in the sport.
Whether that should be the case is a different issue. Back stories are meaningless if a fighter can't come through when the bout starts. Besides, an exciting fight creates his own buzz, regardless of his personality. It's a good thing for UFC that Sonnen has deep rhetorical well, because few people are going to pay to watch him purely for his patient, wrestling-based style.
His record won't sell many tickets either. Sonnen's claim to wins over top-10 fighters and numerous champions during the title reigns of Rich Franklin and Anderson Silva is a stretch, at best. Take a look at Sonnen's victories since Franklin won UFC's middleweight belt in June 2005:
Of that group, Marquardt, Okami and Filho were widely viewed as top-10 fighters at the time. If you want to stretch things, Prangley, Suloev and Miller might have been top 20 when they fought Sonnen. Baker gained some cachet this year for his run to the finals of Bellator Fighting Championships' tournament.
It's a very good record, but only in Sonnen's mind is it a superior resume to that of Franklin or Silva.
But why quibble? As we were reminded several times today, Sonnen feels the marketing burden of two men while Silva trains blissfully expecting people to simply care about the fight itself.
"It's shocking that he actually believes that and then stands there with his chest out like we should all pat him on the back and go, "Oh, good job, Anderson, you're training really hard," Sonnen said. "Well, guess what, dummy? I've been training really hard since I was 9 years old, and I still have time to bring interest to people seeing me whip your ass on Aug. 7."
Got that date memorized yet?

*** Lesson Details ***
As a teacher, I would work with the student on learning there favorite song. This would be a goal to set for the student for the first three months. They would be taught to do the scale with their right hand. They would learn there sharps and flats and the difference between the two key signatures. They would also learn during the first six months some of the basic terms in music theory. I would set goals, but never overwhelm the student, but work with them according to how much they could take in. They would have weekly assignments. If an assignment is not mastered during that time, then we would review it and carry it to the next week. When one assignment is mastered, then the student would work on the next. This would be a step by step processed. My goal for the student the first six months is to get that child or adult to be able to play their chords in their left hand, octaves and fillings in their right hand and know how to work the pedals. They would understand and know the key signatures and what timing they are playing in. The student would also know some of the basic music terms. Please keep in mind that this depends on how much information that the student can process. With some it could take a little bit longer. With others it would take less time.

On April 10, the Obama Administration released its fiscal year 2014 budget (FY 2014 Budget). Of note, the FY 2014 Budget includes a number of tax proposals that target insurance companies or that otherwise would have a direct effect on them. Specifically, the proposals would:
We discuss these proposals below and provide a brief overview of several other relevant proposals contained in the FY 2014 Budget.
Modifying the Dividends-Received Deduction for Life Insurance Company Separate Accounts
In the case of a life insurance company, the dividends-received deduction (DRD) is permitted only with regard to the "company's share" of dividends received, reflecting the fact that some portion of the company's dividend income is used to fund tax-deductible reserves for its obligations to policyholders. Likewise, the net increase or net decrease in reserves is computed by reducing the ending balance of the reserve items by the policyholders' share of tax-exempt interest. The regime for computing the company's share and policyholders' share of net investment income generally is referred to as proration.
A life insurance company's separate account assets, liabilities, and income are segregated from those of the company's general account in order to support variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts. A company's share and policyholders' share are computed for the company's general account and separately for each separate account.
The policyholders' share equals 100% less the company's share, whereas the latter is equal to the company's share of net investment income divided by net investment income. The company's share of net investment income is the excess, if any, of net investment income over certain amounts, including "required interest," that are set aside to satisfy obligations to policyholders. Required interest with regard to an account is calculated by multiplying a specified account earnings rate by the mean of the reserves with regard to the account for the taxable year.
According to the General Explanations of the Administration's Fiscal Year 2014 Revenue Proposals (FY 2014 Green Book), the proposal, which is a carryover from the fiscal year 2013 budget (FY 2013 Budget), would repeal the existing regime for prorating investment income between the "company's share" and the "policyholders' share." The general account DRD, tax-exempt interest, and increases in certain policy cash values of a life insurance company instead would be subject to a fixed 15% proration in a manner similar to that which applies under current law to non-life insurance companies. The limitations on the DRD that apply to other corporate taxpayers would be expanded to apply explicitly to life insurance company separate account dividends in the same proportion as the mean of reserves bears to the mean of total assets of the account. Thus, under this proposal, dividends received by a separate account likely would be entitled to only a very small, if any, DRD.
This proposal would be effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2013.
Disallowing a Deduction for "Non-Taxed Reinsurance Premiums Paid to Affiliates"
As a general matter, insurance companies are allowed a deduction for premiums paid for reinsurance. If a reinsurance transaction results in a transfer of reserves and reserve assets to a reinsurer, the potential tax liability for the earnings associated with those assets generally is shifted to the reinsurer as well. Although the insurance income of a controlled foreign corporation generally is subject to current taxation in the U.S., insurance income of a foreign-owned foreign company that is not engaged in a U.S. trade or business generally is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. However, reinsurance policies issued by foreign reinsurers with respect to U.S. risks generally are subject to a federal excise tax equal to 1% of the premiums paid, unless waived by a tax treaty.
According to the FY 2014 Green Book, "[r]einsurance transactions with affiliates that are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on insurance income can result in substantial U.S. tax advantages over similar transactions with entities that are subject to tax in the United States." The FY 2014 Green Book also states that "[t]he excise tax on reinsurance policies issued by foreign reinsurers is not always sufficient to offset this tax advantage."
The proposal, which is a carryover from the FY 2013 Budget and is similar to a proposal that has been sponsored by Rep. Richard Neal on several previous occasions, (i) would deny an insurance company a deduction for premiums and other amounts paid to affiliated foreign companies with respect to reinsurance of property and casualty risks to the extent that the foreign reinsurer (or its parent company) is not subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to the premiums received; and (ii) would exclude from the insurance company's income (in the same proportion in which the premium deduction was denied) any return premiums, ceding commissions, reinsurance recovered, or other amounts received with respect to reinsurance policies for which a premium deduction is wholly or partially denied. The reinsurance transaction would remain subject to the federal excise tax, and it appears that the ceding company still would reduce its reserves by the amount ceded to the reinsurer. A foreign corporation that is paid a premium from an affiliate that otherwise would be denied a deduction under this proposal would be permitted to elect to treat those premiums and the associated investment income as income effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business and attributable to a permanent establishment for tax treaty purposes. For foreign tax credit purposes, reinsurance income treated as effectively connected under this rule would be treated as foreign source income and would be placed into a separate category within section 904.
The proposal would be effective for policies issued in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2013.
Modifying the Rules that Apply to Sales of Life Insurance Contracts
According to the FY 2014 Green Book, this proposal, which is a carryover from the FY 2013 Budget, would require a person or entity that purchases an interest in an existing life insurance contract with a death benefit equal to or exceeding $500,000 to report the purchase price, the buyer and seller's taxpayer identification numbers (TINs), and the issuer and policy number to the IRS, to the insurance company that issued the policy, and to the seller.
This proposal also would modify the transfer-for-value rule to ensure that exceptions to that rule would not apply to buyers of policies. Upon the payment of any policy benefits to the buyer, the insurance company would be required to report the gross benefit payment, the buyer's TIN, and the insurance company's estimate of the buyer's basis to the IRS and to the payee.
This proposal would apply to sales or assignments of interests in life insurance policies and payments of death benefits in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2013.
Requiring Information Reporting for "Private Separate Accounts" Established by Life Insurance Companies
According to the FY 2014 Green Book, this proposal, which is a carryover from the FY 2013 Budget, would require life insurance companies to report the following information to the IRS with respect to each contract whose cash value is partially or wholly invested in a "private separate account" for any portion of the taxable year and represents at least 10% of the value of the private separate account: the policyholder's TIN, the policy number, the amount of accumulated untaxed income, the total contract account value, and the portion of that value that is (or was) invested in one or more private separate accounts. For this purpose, a private separate account would be defined as any account with respect to which a related group of persons owns policies whose cash values, in the aggregate, represent at least 10% of the value of the separate account. Whether a related group of persons owns policies whose cash values represent at least 10% of the value of the account would be determined quarterly, based on information reasonably within the issuer's possession.
This proposal would be effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2013.
Repealing Section 847
In general, losses incurred by an insurance company that is required to discount unpaid losses include losses paid during a taxable year (net of salvage and reinsurance recovered), plus or minus the increase or decrease in discounted unpaid losses during the taxable year. An adjustment also is made for the change in discounted estimated salvage and reinsurance recoverable.
Unpaid losses are determined on a discounted basis to account for the time that may elapse between an insured loss event and the payment or other resolution of the claim. However, taxpayers may elect under section 847 to take an additional deduction equal to the difference between the amount of their reserves computed on a discounted basis and the amount computed on an undiscounted basis. In order to do so, a taxpayer must make a special estimated tax payment (SETP) equal to the tax benefit attributable to the additional deduction. Moreover, the additional deductions are reflected in a special loss discount account. In future years, as losses are paid, amounts are subtracted from the special loss discount account and included in gross income; the SETPs are used to offset tax generated by these income inclusions. To the extent an amount added to the special loss discount account is not subtracted within 15 years, it is automatically subtracted (and included in gross income) for the 15th year. This regime of additional deductions and SETPs is revenue neutral by design.
According to the FY 2014 Green Book, the proposal, which is a carryover from the FY 2013 Budget, would repeal section 847 effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2013.
Under the proposal, the entire balance of any existing special loss discount account would be included in gross income for the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2013, and the entire amount of existing SETPs would be applied against additional tax that is due as a result of that inclusion. Any SETPs in excess of the additional tax that is due would be treated as an estimated tax payment under section 6655.
In lieu of immediate inclusion in gross income for the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2013, taxpayers would be permitted to elect to include the balance of any existing special loss discount account in gross income ratably over a four taxable year period, beginning with the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2013. During this period, taxpayers would be permitted to use existing SETPs to offset any additional tax that is due as a result of that inclusion. At the end of the fourth year, any remaining SETPs would be treated as an estimated tax payment under section 6655.
Imposing a "Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee"
According to the FY 2014 Green Book, the financial crisis responsibility fee, which is a carryover from the FY 2013 Budget, is intended to recoup the costs of the TARP program, "as well as discourage excessive risk-taking, as the combination of high levels of risky assets and less stable sources of funding were key contributors to the financial crisis."
As provided in the FY 2014 Green Book, the fee generally would apply to U.S.-based bank holding companies, thrift holding companies, certain broker-dealers, companies that control certain broker-dealers, and insured depository institutions. U.S. companies owning and controlling these types of entities as of January 14, 2010, also would be subject to the fee. Firms with worldwide consolidated assets of less than $50 billion would not be subject to the fee for the period when their assets are below this threshold. U.S. subsidiaries of foreign firms that fall into these categories and that have assets in excess of $50 billion also would be covered.
The fee would be based on the covered liabilities of a financial firm. Covered liabilities generally are the consolidated risk-weighted assets of a financial firm, less its capital, insured deposits, and certain loans to small business. These amounts would be computed using information filed with the appropriate federal or state regulators. For insurance companies, certain policy reserves and other policyholder obligations also would be deducted in computing covered liabilities. In addition, adjustments would be provided to prevent avoidance of the fee.
The rate of the fee applied to covered liabilities would be 17 basis points, and a 50% discount would apply to more stable sources of funding, including long-term liabilities. The fee would be deductible in computing corporate income tax.
The fee would be effective as of January 1, 2015.
Providing for Reciprocal Reporting of Information in Connection with the Implementation of FATCA
In many cases, foreign law may prevent foreign financial institutions from complying with FATCA by reporting information about U.S. accounts to the IRS. To date, such legal impediments have been addressed through intergovernmental agreements under which the relevant foreign government has agreed to provide the information required by FATCA to the IRS. According to the FY 2014 Budget, requiring U.S. financial institutions to report similar information to the IRS with respect to nonresident accounts would facilitate such intergovernmental cooperation by enabling the IRS to reciprocate in appropriate circumstances by exchanging similar information with cooperative foreign governments to support their efforts to address tax evasion by their residents.
The proposal would provide Treasury with authority to promulgate regulations that would require reporting of information with respect to nonresident alien individuals, entities that are not U.S. persons, and certain U.S. entities held in substantial part by non-U.S. owners, including information regarding account balances and payments made with respect to accounts held by such persons and entities.
Additional Proposals of Note
In addition to the proposals discussed above, the FY 2014 Budget contains a number of proposals that have a broader application to corporate taxpayers. In particular, the FY 2014 Budget contains:
Also of note is that the FY 2014 Budget does not contain a proposal to extend either the controlled foreign corporation "look-through" rule or the "active financing" exception under Subpart F. The absence of such proposals may reflect the fact that those provisions remain in effect until the end of 2013.
We will continue to monitor the status of these proposals and keep you updated on any significant developments as they occur.

7 Ways the Holidays Can Kill You
The Grim Reaper is hardly the mythical figure you want to see on Christmas. Stay safe this year by avoiding Yuletide no-no's SEE ALL 13 Ways the Holidays Can Kill You
Christmas Tree Fires
You'd think by now we'd have this whole Christmas tree safety thing down. But each year, hundreds of house fires start at the Christmas tree, resulting in about 15 deaths and $13 million in property damage. You can avoid Tannenbaum tragedies by taking some very simple precautions, such as selecting a fresh tree, watering it once a day, and keeping it away from fireplaces and heating fixtures.
Lighting Disasters
Outdoing our neighbors with Clark Griswold–like holiday lighting displays is as American as greasy fast food and suburban sprawl. Just try not to make house fires a part of your annual holiday tradition. Avoid Christmastime conflagrations with simple measures, such as using indoor lights inside and outdoor lights outside, checking for cracked or broken sockets and frayed wires, and limiting yourself to three strands of lights per extension cord. During the two months surrounding the holiday season, more than 14,000 people are treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries related to holiday decorating each year.
Poisonous Plants
Oh by gosh, by golly, it turns out that holly and mistletoe can actually kill you. The pretty red berries of the holly plant are extremely poisonous, as are mistletoe's toxic berries, leaves, and stems. Keep these plants—as well as Jerusalem cherries and bittersweet—well out of reach of children, as well as your pets.
Hanging the stockings by the chimney with care is a well-known Christmas tradition. But use just as much care when firing up your fireplace this holiday season. On average, fires in and around a chimney or fireplace occur more than 25,000 times each year, leading to 10 deaths. So before you gather 'round the hearth, make sure your damper is open, and cover your fireplace with a protective screen or grate. Also, don't place your Christmas tree anywhere near the fireplace, and, as tempting as it might be on Christmas morning, don't toss ripped-up wrapping paper into the fireplace; it may create enough sparks and embers to ignite a blaze.
Highway Accidents
Unfortunately, sometimes the holidays entail leaving the safety and comforts of home to visit family in their abodes. So, whether you're driving over the river and through the woods—or taking the interstate—to grandmother's house this holiday season, be sure to proceed with caution. A lethal combination of drunk driving, wintry weather conditions, and road-weary travelers results in approximately 400 highway deaths each year between December 24 and December 28, and the number rises again on New Year's Eve. So if you must take to the road around the holidays, figure out who will be your designated driver now. Better yet, take a cab.
Kitchen Fires
In the mad dash to get Christmas dinner ready for family and friends, it's easy to overlook the oven mitt you left precariously close to the stovetop or the big, boiling-over pot of potatoes that's causing your burners to erupt into a full-on fire. The inherent stress and chaos of preparing holiday meals is probably why kitchen fires flare up even more than usual this time of year. Since most cooking fires involve the stovetop, keep anything that can catch fire away from it. And if you're simmering, baking, or roasting food, check on it regularly and use a timer to remind you that you're cooking.
Shoveling Snow
Aside from back injuries and achy muscles, shoveling the driveway for arriving holiday guests can put you at an increased risk of cardiac arrest. According to several studies, the number of people who die of heart failure due to exertion tends to spike in the week following a blizzard. If you lead a mostly sedentary lifestyle, shovel snow slowly and in short intervals, especially if you smoke or have a history of heart disease.

Equations for calculating mean cell residence time (MCRT) and sludge yield from mass balances on phosphorus in the activated sludge process were derived. This approach does not require estimation of sludge production quantities and thus is independent of waste activated sludge measurements. Based on data from two pilot-scale systems and one full-scale plant, it was found that MCRT and sludge yield calculated by the phosphorus balance approach corresponded closely to values of these parameters calculated from mass balances on total suspended solids. Nomograms for rapid graphical determination of MCRT and sludge yield from phosphorus data are presented.

Webvan sales grew to $77.2 million in the first quarter from $37.5 a year ago. But it pulls out of Atlanta, leaving seven markets where it still operates.
Beleaguered Webvan Group Inc. will cease operations in Atlanta, the company announced today. The company is now serving Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Ore., the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. It halted deliveries in Dallas/Forth Worth in Febnruary.
In addition, Webvan named Robert Swan as chief executive officer. Swan previously served as Webvan`s chief operating officer, a post he assumed in September 2000. He joined Webvan in October 1999 as senior vice president of finance and was named chief financial officer in February 2000. Swan has joined the company`s board of directors. He replaces George Shaheen who resigned Feb. 13.
Webvan reported that net sales for the first quarter 2001 totaled $77.2 million, an increase of 106% over pro-forma net sales of $37.5 million for the first quarter of 2000. Sales for the first quarter of 2001 include 51 days of revenue from Webvan`s Dallas/Ft. Worth market. Net loss for the first quarter was $86.1 million compared with a pro-forma loss of $75.4 million in the first quarter of 2000. Pro-forma net loss and net loss per share exclude the amortization of goodwill resulting from the company`s September 2000 acquisition of HomeGrocer.com, amortization of deferred compensation and restructuring charges and includes HomeGrocer`s operating results for the first quarter of 2000.
Gross profit for the first quarter was $21.7 million, or a gross margin of 28.1% compared to a pro forma gross profit of $7.8 million and a gross margin of 20.9%, for the comparable period in 2000.
Webvan also reported combined company-wide inventory turns of 17.8 times on an annualized basis. The company stated that its active customer accounts in the preceding 12 months ending March 31, 2001 exceeded 761,780. Repeat orders represented 84.1 percent of total orders during the period. The average order size for the recently completed quarter was $114.
In addition, Webvan reported that it is in preliminary discussions with existing investors regarding possible debt or equity financing of approximately $25 million. Webvan has engaged Goldman Sachs & Co. to assist in evaluating its financing and strategic alternatives. The company today also announced plans for a 25-to-1 reverse stock split, subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming annual meeting.
"With approximately $115 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on hand at the close of the first quarter 2001, we will need $25 million in capital to pursue a fully-funded business plan, allowing us to fund operations up to the point when the entire company is cash-flow positive," Swan said. "We currently anticipate reaching this cash-flow milestone in the second half of 2002."
"The first quarter of 2001 was undoubtedly the most challenging and the most rewarding period in Webvan`s young history," Swan said. "In this period we saw substantial improvements across our operations, leading to a solid financial performance. I am pleased to announce that our Fullerton, California customer fulfillment center, which serves Orange County, exited the first quarter with a positive cash flow. Passing this milestone is a significant accomplishment for Webvan, proving the viability of our business model and clearly demonstrating our ability to run a profitable enterprise."
The company said today that its board of directors has approved a 25-to-1 reverse stock split, subject to approval by Webvan`s shareholders at the annual meeting to be held in June. "At present, we have too many shares of Webvan securities outstanding," Swan said. "A reverse split of 25-to-1 will reduce our number of outstanding shares to approximately 20 million. We believe such a move is in the best interest of our shareholders. A reverse split will also support our effort to raise the Webvan share price above the Nasdaq`s $1 per share listing requirement."

This review is from: HEC Vigilance Black 0.5 mm Thickness SGCC MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case with Dual 8cm Fan, 2x USB2.0 and HD Audio
Pros: It's a cheap, and I mean CHEAP, case. It looks a lot better than most of the other bizarre looking cases available. I didn't have much trouble fitting in components. It does what it was intended for; something to put computer components in. I like the big power button but wish the lights and reset button were positioned under the 3.5" drive bay.
Cons: Be careful of razor sharp edges! Very thin metal. The tool-less clip mechanism broke the first time I tried to use it. Good thing it had screw holes. DVD door is going to be the second thing to break, it's super flimsy. Third thing to break is going to be the front panel clips. I cracked one of them taking off the front panel to install the DVD drive. Super Glue to the rescue! Case came lopsided and bent. Absolutely NO quality control, It is missing rivets that holds it all together! I was able to cosmetically repair it but the rear corner support is rippled beyond repair. Only came with half as many screws as I needed thanks to the broken tool-less mechanism but I had plenty in my extra parts bin.
Other Thoughts: I was in a pinch for a budget build and this was the only case that didn't come with a power supply that looked half-way decent. I made a bad choice that I won't make again. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this case, it's GARBAGE!READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Intel 520 Series Cherryville 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2CW240A3K5
Pros: 1) FAST! (Thats an understatement!)
3) Intel Reliability and Compatibility
4) SATA III 6Gb/s Connectivit
5) Speed is as advertised on a SATA III controller.
Cons: 1) Price is still over $1/GB.
2) Amount of storage space.
3) Did I mention the price is still a little high?
Other Thoughts: This thing smokes my two WD Raptor 600GB drives in RAID0. The 3.5" drive adaptor could have been a little better. You must download the Toolbox software from Intel's web site as this does not ship with any software.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Western Digital WD Green WD5000AZDX 500GB IntelliPower SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: Designed for power savings rather than performance. This is a good option for NAS storage. It's also not as loud as some of the other WD drives available. Built-in power management mode that spins it's self down after a few minutes of being idle.
Cons: Not that great of a performer, but if your buying this drive, you're probably wanting it for mass storage media. Built-in power management seems to override ACPI BIOS and software spin-down settings. I haven't found a way to disable the built-in power management or change it's preset idle spin-down settings.
Other Thoughts: As a reply to DRL's comment, the spindle speed is supposed to be a variable speed between 5400 and 7200 RPM instead of a fixed speed.READ FULL REVIEW
