E-commerce giant Amazon announced on Thursday that their virtual assistant, Alexa would soon be available on smartphones, directly competing with Apple and Google's own virtual assistants.
Amazon announced that their virtual assistant Alexa would soon be available in their iOS Amazon app, allowing users to search for and purchase items, control smart home appliances and check news and weather updates using voice commands. Alexa was previously available as a standalone app on iOS, but integrating the service with the Amazon shopping app increases the virtual assistant's userbase and introduces Alexa to people that may previously not have used the service.
Amazon recently announced a partnership with Huawei to install Alexa as a default feature on the company's Mate 9 smartphone. Amazon is also working with Motorola to integrate Alexa into some future Moto smartphones. This seems to be an attempt by Amazon to claim a small corner of the smartphone market, which the company failed to break into with their own device, the Fire Phone.
Despite boasting about their recent plans to create 100,000 American jobs, Amazon has done more to threaten American jobs that labor being outsourced to China, according to MarketWatch. Amazon has made purchasing and receiving both physical and digital items a streamlined and easy process. However, this has negatively impacted many traditional brick and mortar stores in a number of ways.
"But for retail workers, Amazon is a grave threat." writes Rex Nutting of Marketwatch, "Just ask the 10,100 workers who are losing their jobs at Macy's. Or the 4,000 at The Limited. Or the thousands of workers at Sears and Kmart, which just announced 150 stores will be closing. Or the 125,000 retail workers who've been laid off over the past two years."
Approximately 12 million retail jobs are with companies experiencing high increases in competition from Amazon, particularly in areas such as furniture, appliances and electronics, clothing and books. Statisticians refer to these as GAFO (General Merchandise, Apparel and Accessories, Furniture and Other Sales). If Amazon is successful in capturing 40% of the GAFO market within the next five years, this could lead to the loss of nearly 1.5 million jobs at brick-and-mortar stores.

Steve & Melissa's Wedding
On Saturday, our family had the wonderful opportunity to be part of the ceremony that joined Uncle Stephen to an amazing woman who we are thrilled to have as part of the Swanson Family. Thank you so much, Steve and Melissa, for having us be part of your big day! Derek was so happy to be Steve's best-man, and I was honored to be one of Melissa's bridesmaid. The boys both had important roles too, and they both performed them perfectly. Owen was the ring-barer, and Oliver walked down the isle right before Melissa holding a sign reading "Here Comes the Bride" with a huge grin on his face. It was such a beautiful ceremony, and I can't imagine that the reception could have been any more fun!
The wedding was held at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo here in Colorado Springs. It was the best wedding location I have ever seen. I was a little skeptical at first, but it was beyond beautiful! The ceremony was held at the new Africa exhibit, overlooking all of Colorado Springs. After the ceremony, guests were invited to feed the giraffes an endless supply of lettuce. Owen and Oliver had the time of their lives!!! The reception was in the pavilion up by the carrousel which remained open all evening. The evening was incredible! I can't wait to see the photographer's pictures!!!
Congratulations, Steve and Melissa! We love you guys!

In this day and age, everyone seems to be jumping on the proverbial 'green' bandwagon. From multi-national corporations to small local businesses, there is an environmental angle to just about every consumer product. For homeowners, the benefits of going green can be numerous and while some of them can cost money up front, there are many advantages to this new environmental movement.
Of course, the environmental movement isn't new; it's actually been around for many decades. Yet a fair majority of people throughout the country have either been aware from a distance or dismissive of it as a costly and 'tree-hugging' waste of time. The reality, however, has changed in recent years as the price of gasoline, home heating, and electricity have gone through the roof, in a manner of speaking.
Homeowners who are looking to either add value to their homes or save money in the long run, or both, are beginning to turn toward the benefits of going green as a serious way to make an impact, if not on the environment, then on their budget. There are quite a few things people can do to turn their home into a green home.
Update appliances
For older homes, many of the appliances that may be leftover from the seventies and eighties will likely be chugging down electricity like an athlete downs Gatorade on a hot summer day. By updating these appliances with modern, Energy Star efficient ones, a homeowner can save up to several hundred dollars a year. Some homeowners have reported saving several thousand dollars every year by doing this.
The initial cost is often a deterrent, but given that a homeowner will likely remain in their home for many years, the cost of upgrading now is outweighed by those long-term savings. It can be looked at in another light as well. When a homeowner updates his or her appliances, such as the refrigerator, stove, washer, dryer, dishwasher, and even the smaller ones like a toaster oven, then the value of the home also goes up slightly.
Having new appliances attract potential homebuyers' attention when it's time to put it on the market. The key is to choose the appliances that have the highest energy efficient rating, fit within a reasonable budget, and add aesthetic value to the house.
Solar panels
Depending on where in the country a person lives, solar panels can be a great advantage and a boost in the home's value. In Southern California, for example, solar panels will be working overtime almost year-round, with the constant glare of the sun peering down on this region, but in Seattle, Washington, they might not offer the same value.
A homeowner in a high sun region of the country can take advantage of a number of government programs that help subsidize the purchase, installation, and use of solar panels. The initial out-of-pocket expenses for these solar panels can be jaw-dropping, certainly, but there are many homeowners who run their entire house on solar energy, paying nothing or next to nothing to the utility companies.
There is some upkeep with batteries and the like, but when the home goes on the market, the selling point of being able to supply a significant portion of the house's power through solar energy, the savings can add up very quickly.
Wind energy
Just like solar panels, wind turbines can be an asset for many homeowners, especially those who live in high wind regions. Wind turbines for home use can be small and unobtrusive, and many are even ornamental in nature so that they fit in with the natural surroundings. In most cases, the wind turbines won't produce as much energy as solar panels, but any savings adds to inherent home values and the homeowner's pocket at the end of the day.
Going green doesn't have to be a major expense. In fact, simply changing out traditional incandescent light bulbs with new CFL lights can increase savings and add a selling component to the house.

Urinary Incontinence Treatments for the Naperville, IL, Area
Also Serving Chicago, Morris, Orland Park, New Lenox, Joliet IL and Surrounding Area
Urinary Incontinence is a common bladder control problem among young women but can also occur in men and women of all ages.
Urinary Incontinence occurs when tissue and muscle supporting the bladder weaken. Bladder muscles can become weaker for a variety of reasons including pregnancy and child birth, injury and or existing disorders like bladder cancer, bladder stones or neurological disorders. Urinary incontinence may also occur with age or menopause.
Symptoms can include:
- Going to the bathroom 8 or more times a day.
- Waking up two or more times at night to go to the bathroom.
- Bladder control problems have changed your daily activities.
- You avoid participating in things you enjoy for fear of leaking.
- You get uncontrollable urges to go to the bathroom that you cannot ignore.
Urinary Incontinence Treatment
Urinary Incontinence treatments vary depending on the severity of a patient's condition. Medications such as topical estrogen or Anticholinergic, which calm overactive bladders, are common treatments for urinary incontinence. Additional treatment options include physical therapy, urethral inserts and bladder training exercises. There are also surgical procedures that can help urinary incontinence if treatments aren't working.
Advanced Urology Associates provide a wide variety of treatment options for Urinary Incontinence in Chicago.
InterStim Therapy
InterStim has been FDA-approved since 1997 for urge incontinence and since 1999 for urinary retention and significant symptoms of urgency-frequency. InterStim Therapy is not intended for patients with a urinary blockage.

. . . one skilled in negotiating, especially between states or people
is a specialised field where often members of the Novice's family have been or
still are Diplomats. Hetat's mother is a Diplomat.
A diplomat has the ability to see all sides of an argument. Although not easy, he or she must remain impartial when they are dealing with a negotiation. They must then advise their superiors – often world leaders – of the outcomes. Although here on Earth Diplomats are associated with peaceful outcomes, on many other planets they are used for different purposes. On both Nor'la and Credos they are used to negotiate terms of battle. They also negotiate for the return of prisoners.
They always have a Keeper – this is more for status rather than for safety as Diplomats are rarely assassinated.

Iowa law could become national model for long-term care insurance disputes
A new Iowa statute that will take effect Jan. 1 will protect Iowans who are denied long-term care insurance benefits. If successful, it could be used as a model for other states, according to industry experts.
If an insurance company rejects a claim by an elderly,disabled person for long-term care insurance, that person can pay $25 to have an independent medical expert review the case, according to the statute. If that expert makes a decision in favor of the consumer, that decision is final, according to the new rules. Currently in Iowa, the only recourse for those who've had their long-term care insurance claims rejected is a lengthy lawsuit, according to The Des Moines Register.
Some state lawmakers are skeptical about the new measure, noting that insurance companies will pay the majority of medical examiners' bills. This, they say, raises questions as to how independent those examiners can truly be. But most in the state Legislature are adopting a wait-and-see policy.

Y: Yokouchi -Yukon
Wrestling Heritage A- Z
Chati Yokouchi
The villainous Oriental (what else could he be in 1960s Britain?) was introduced to the British public by independent promoter Paul Lincoln in the Autumn of 1963, and this was the beginning of regular visits extending into the late sixties. A professional at the time for only two or three years he already showed the potential that was to take him on to success around the world, most notably North America. Yokouchi often tagged with the equally cunning Togo Tani, most memorably in a blood stained epic against Steve Veidor and Mike Marino (see photo), a Royal Albert Hall event that was broadcast live to eleven cinemas around the country in those pre satellite tv days. The Wrestler magazine reported that "there was an evil look about the black-clad Japanese combination and the crowd needed only a few minutes to make up their mind." Whether it was the punishing nerve holds, the ferocious chops or just a few blindside punches Chati Yokouchi was never short of finding new ways to fall out with people. He was definitely one of the many colourful characters of the 1960s wrestling scene.
The Yorkshire Kid (Eric Dudley)
Eric Dudley was The Yorkshire Kid. The name no doubt came from his birthplace, which was Pontefract, Yorkshire, though his ten year wrestling career was mostly in the south of England for Dale Martin and independent promotions, including his own promotions, Den Promotions. The Yorkshire Kid turned professional around 1955, and in the late 1950s was one of the first workers for Paul Lincoln Management. He opened a wrestling club behind the Red Lion Public House in Wadhurst, Sussex, in partnership with the landlord of the pub, Steve Stephens. Steve was one of The Yorkshire Kid's trainees, eventually wrestling himself under the name Steve Courage. Eric and Steve later began promoting, as Den Promotions, putting on shows in and around Sussex, including a weekly event at Selsey Bill holiday camp on the south coast.
Den Promotions courted controversy in the early 1960s by promoting female wrestling contests, which were at the time banned by local councils up and down the country. Amongst those trained by Eric were Ann Starr and Chi Chi, Empress of the Black Dagger. Eric continued wrestling and promoting until the mid 1960s. He passed away in December, 2004.
Akio Yoshihara
Here's a surprise; a 1960s Japanese wrestler who broke the mould.
None of that scheming underhand stuff here, just scientific wrestling from this 5'11" middleweight who made a number of visits to the UK between 1962 and 1964. He and tag partner Teizo Okado did stick to role with all that bowing at every opportunity, which in itself did seem to annoy fans. Akio worked for both independent and Joint Promotions on occasions, including one televised appearance against Gorilla Reg Ray.He was born in Tokishima Shikiku near Tokyo but moved to Brazil whilst a teenager where he gained a judo black belt and then developed his wrestling style. He takes his place amongst a notable trend of oriental visitors in fact being based in South America.
Dave Young
See the entry for Skull Murphy
Mike Young
Lightweight Mike Young hailed from Birmingham and made his professional debut in 1967 against fellow Brum Dave Wade. His career prospects became seriously limited when he moved home to the Isle of Man, continuing to train at the club run by George Barnabus but with wrestling opportunities now severely limited. When not wrestling Mike ran an engineering company on the Isle of Man and spent his spare time reading poetry, horse riding and teaching gymnastics. Usually one of the fans favourites Mike wasn't afraid of mixing it with the villains and putting his amateur boxing experience to good use.
Steve Young
See the entry for Skull Murphy
Terry Young
Harlow's Terry Young trained at Neil Sands gymnasium in Chelmsford and the Key Glass Wrestling Club. Neil Evans remembers him as a good wrestler, fast and skilfull, against whom he had many good bouts before the two of them formed a tag team called the Essex Jet Set.
Mario Yugueros
Spanish heavyweight, dubbed the Galant White Panther, made a short visit to Britain in December, 1967. Was a victor, via the disqualification route, when he met Hans Streiger on television.
Billy Yukon
He was billed from as Canadian but we would guess that Cannock Chase was the nearest Smethwicks Billy Yukon came to the prairies. A 1960s favourite on the independent circuit Billy Yukon went on to work for Joint Promotions in the late 1960s, under his own name and under the guise of masked wrestlers.

Musicians Hayley Williams and Josh Groban have sent well wishes to Sam Smith after the British singer confessed his anxiety about his throat operation on Thursday (14May15).
The Stay With Me hitmaker scrapped a series of tour dates, including concerts in Australia and Japan, and flew to the US for surgery after he developed a vocal cord haemorrhage.
On Wednesday (13May15), Smith, who has been joined in America by his mother ahead of the procedure, shared his fears about going under the knife and the upcoming weeks of being unable to speak, which will put a damper on plans to celebrate his 23rd birthday on Tuesday (19May15).
He wrote on Instagram.com, "Enjoying my last day of speaking. After today no speaking for three weeks. So if you see me on the streets sorry if you think I'm a d**khead and can't say hello. Also gonna be silent for my birthday. Sounds fun aye?"
He later shared on Twitter.com, "Can't sleep. Op (operation) tomorrow. Looking through all your beautiful messages. Makes me emotional to know I have so many people wishing me well."
A number of fellow musicians have since sent him messages of support, including Paramore frontwoman Williams who writes, "Totally get how real/scary voice stuff is. Will be prayin for you & for the docs (sic). Love that voice" and Groban posted, "As a fellow singer and fan, wishing you a speedy recovery and pristine pipes for decades to come."
On Thursday morning (14May15), Smith took a 'selfie' from his hospital bed before the surgery.

Healthcare for All
If there's one thing I've discovered about far-right-wingers in the past few years, it's that they never let facts get in the way of their paranoia.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been on a roll this past year, despite the Republican party's numerous attempts to trash it. We currently have 6.5 million people receiving tax credits to help pay for insurance through the federal marketplace (Healthcare.gov, if you're interested). The ACA success stories are too numerous to relate. Like the Ohio Republican profiled in Time magazine. Her coverage was initially cancelled. She states she had to overcome "a lot of talk that this is a bad law." She enrolled her family through Healthcare.gov and had to pay a little more than she had been paying. (I can hear the right-wingers ...

Gestational diabetes is one of the top temporary health complications that a woman has to endure during pregnancy. In gestational diabetes, a woman's body produces insulin, but the body is resistant to it. If a woman acquires gestational diabetes during pregnancy, then the child is most likely to acquire it from his mother. There is also an increased risk of developing diabetes for both mother and child.
Risks of Microsomatia
Microsomatia is the term for the excessive weight gained by babies in the womb during gestational diabetes. Babies with microsomatia are prone to other health problems, such as damage to their shoulders during birth because of their increased size and weight. Infants may also have breathing problems and low blood sugar levels.
Controlling Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes is controlled by diet, exercise, and sometimes insulin injections. Oral medications for diabetes can cause birth defects and are not used in pregnancy.Treatment of gestational diabetes should begin as rapidly as possible to prevent adverse effects to the mother and the baby.
Food choices are of paramount importance. This will have beneficial effects on the health of your baby's growth. It should aim to keeping blood sugar level equal to those of pregnant women who do not have gestational diabetes. Treatment includes scheduled physical activity, daily blood sugar testing, and special meal plans and to keep it under control.
Gestational Diabetes Diet
The focus of diet control of gestational diabetes is on decreasing concentrated sugars and fats. Complex carbohydrates and foods high in fiber are emphasized and make up fifty to sixty percent of the daily caloric intake. Less than one third of your daily calories should come from fats. Ten to twenty percent of the daily calories should come from lean protein choices. The total daily calories should be approximately fifteen calories for every pound of your ideal body weight.
Gentle Exercise
Gentle exercise four to five times per week is the optimal plan for achieving the glucose lowering effects of exercise. Walking and swimming are excellent forms of exercise for the gestational diabetic. Just remember that your balance and center of gravity will be more altered as your abdominal girth increases so wear good, flat, sturdy shoes and guard against falls and injuries. The mother's heart rate should not exceed 140 beats per minute. There should be a warm up period of five to ten minutes, and a cool down time of five to ten minutes. Exercise strengthens muscles and helps the body to prepare for labor. Women who exercise on a regular basis have reported easier and shorter labor than those who do not.
The good news is that with the help of your medical team and a concentrated effort on your part, you can achieve a healthy pregnancy and have a healthy baby.

Reynier Leyva Novo
Jezabel Rodriguez Hanze, "The story told by Reynier Leyva Novo," On Cuba (8 October 2013).
b. Havana 1983
Reynier Leyva Novo graduated from the José Antonio Díaz Peláez Experimental Art Center in 1998, the San Alejandro School of Fine Arts in 2003, and the Department of Behavior Art (directed by Tania Bruguera) in 2007; from 2004 to 2008 he studied at the Instituto Superior de Arte (all in Havana, Cuba).
"The piece The desire to die for others (2012) is composed of weapons of war among which replicas of machetes and guns used by the heroes José Martí and Antonio Maceo stand out, among many others. The polyester resin these objects were produced of is an important element in the performance of the work, considering they resemble crystal arms. So the stunning image we have of these war artifacts gets protruding nuances in fragility. The author of The smells of war (2009) draws a suggestive metaphor between the paradigm of martyrdom and the above-mentioned objects. The model also includes the heroic human and vulnerable feature." -- Jezabel Rodriguez Hanze, On Cuba (8 October 2013)

Sporting confirmed late on Monday that Belgian manager Franky Vercauteren has been relieved of his managerial duties and former Porto manager Jesualdo Ferreira has taken his place.
Vercauteren was appointed only in October to replace Ricardo Sá Pinto but the team has continued to fare poorly under his direction. A 1-0 loss to Paços de Ferreira seemed to seal his fate.
Ferreira, is a highly experienced manager who won three Liga Portuguesa titles with rivals Porto. He accepted a 'general manager' role with the club in December and now takes on full managerial control.
Ferreira will have his work cut out for him taking over a club that seriously lack cohesion and tactical discipline. Sporting had a poor European campaign this year in the Europa League and currently stand an embarrassing 12th spot in the Liga Portuguesa. They have only 13 points in 12 games.
Sporting is part of Portugal's 'Os Três Grandes,' along with Benfica and Porto but since 2009 their performances have been poor.
Current Portugal manager Paul Bento was the last to achieve any kind of success with the Lisbon club, winning two Portuguese Cups and another two Portuguese Super Cups. Along with several second place finishes.
Since Bento was fired in October 2009, Sporting have had seven permanent managers, including now Ferreira. Team president Luís Godinho Lopes has been criticized for what many people claim has been a gross mismanagement of the club, both on the field and in the head office.
Former Sporting captain Daniel Carriço was recently sold to Premier League club Reading for a paltry sum of 750,000 Euros when many believe he is worth at least 5 Million.
In 2011, Godinho Lopes embraced the Porto/Benfica model of domestic success, that is buy young promising foreign players, develop them and sell them to richer clubs for a big profit.
This method however, has largely failed. Sporting has struggled in the domestic league and they are said to be in poor financial health. Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Diego Capel, and André Carrillo have shown good form but the team has rarely been able to put together consistent performances.
Others like Elias, Danijel Pranjić, and Stijn Schaars have either been too often injured, surplus supply or just simply in poor form. Some like Bulgarian midfielder Valeri Bojinov, Brazilian defender Evaldo and Swiss International Gelson Fernandes have fared poorly at the club and have been loaned out.
Sporting Lisbon has one of the most famous youth academies in Europe, developing some of the most famous players that Portugal has produced including World Footballer's of the Year Luis Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo.
In recent games, Vercauteren has been including young players from their academy like winger Ricardo Esgaio, midfielder João Mário (Brother of Wilson Eduardo) and Guinea-Bissau international Zezinho leading many to think that Sporting is starting to embrace youth development again.
They remain 6 points behind Rio Ave for the last Europa League spot for next season but only one point away from the relegation zone, which would be disastrous for a club of its size.
Ferreira takes control of a club that desperately has to regain form. Considering the country's poor economic situation, the health of Portugal's domestic game depends on his success. Ferreira and Godinho Lopes, I hope are aware of the lessons that the Glasgow Rangers could provide.

Artificial Sweeteners Don't Impact Blood Glucose. And They Never Did
By Josh Bloom, American Council on Science and Health
June 19, 2017
One convoluted theory after another has been proposed to try to explain why artificial sweeteners are as bad for you (or worse) than sugar itself. In particular, they alter the (sigh) gut microbiome and also fool the body into thinking that sugar has been consumed simply because they are sweet?something I have long debunked. And a paper, which "demonstrated" that fecal transplants from obese rats to normal rats caused the obesity by alteration of the gut microbiome was retracted due to fraud.
If this doesn't smell right, it's because it's a big pile of bullsweet, which was just demonstrated in a well-designed, prospective study in the journal Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology. No mice, no rats, no fraud and no nonsense.
V. Lee Grotz of McNeil Nutritionals and colleagues from five different medical centers should (but probably won't) put this nonsense to bed.
Gut taste receptor research has led to questions on low calorie sweeteners in glycemic control. Effects have been hypothesized based mostly on cellular and/or short-term animal studies. Reported is a 12-week clinical trial investigating the effects of sucralose on glycemic control. Sucralose had no effect on fasting or post-prandial glucose, insulin and C-peptide, or HbA1c. (V. Lee Grotz, et. al, Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology Volume 88, August 2017, Pages 22?33)
This paper shows the big difference when science is done properly. Grotz and colleagues conducted a randomized, double-blind study which examined the effect of sucralose (brand name Splenda) on different glycemic parameters in 47 men who had normal blood glucose. The trial was conducted in Britain between 1995-1996, during which time sucralose was not used in the UK. The results could not be clearer.
The men were given either one gram of sucralose (1) per day (divided into thirds) or placebo, also three times per day at meal times. Both the sucralose and placebo were administered in capsules which were swallowed so that the presence or absence of taste could not act as a confounder.
The participants were screened for four weeks before the test began, given sucralose or placebo for 12 weeks, and then screened for an additional four weeks. Four parameters?fasting glucose, insulin levels, HbA1c (glycolated hemoglobin, a measure of glucose levels over time) and C-peptide (a biochemical precursor to insulin)?were measured. The results leave little room for interpretation. Nothing changed. There was no difference between the placebo and sucralose groups in any of the four measured parameters.
Screen Shot 2017-06-19 at 12.53.47 PM.jpg
HbA1c levels in volunteers who received either sucralose or placebo. The graphs for fasting blood glucose, insulin, and C-peptide looked the same. Source: Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology Volume 88, August 2017, Pages 22?33.
The conclusion of the authors cannot be a surprise:
The collective evidence is reviewed and supports that sucralose is without effect on glycemia.
(1) A packet of Splenda contains 12 mg of sucralose. So, the men who received the sucralose capsules consumed the equivalent of 83 packets of Splenda per day. And it did nothing.

The Internal Revenue Service is being urged to fix a security vulnerability that makes it all too easy to get an Electronic Filing PIN used by tax preparers.
The IRS said earlier this month that it had identified and stopped an automated attack on its online Electronic Filing PIN application (see IRS Detects Attack on Electronic Filing PIN App). Based on its review, the IRS identified unauthorized attempts involving approximately 464,000 unique SSNs, of which 101,000 SSNs were used to successfully access an E-file PIN. The incident, involving an automated bot, occurred last month, and the IRS said it continues to closely monitor the web application.
However, a new report by Luca Gattoni-Celli of Tax Analysts finds that the IRS's "Get My Electronic Filing PIN" page remains vulnerable to identity theft. Users only need to submit easily accessible personal information, such as a name, Social Security Number, filing status, date of birth and address to get an e-file PIN.
The Tax Foundation, a Washington, D.C., think tank, posted an open letter Thursday to IRS Commissioner Koskinen urging him to fix the security vulnerability.
"The whole point of requiring a PIN to file electronically is to minimize identity theft, so it is sadly ironic that the process to obtain an electronic PIN is so easy that it makes the whole point of obtaining one pointless at best and making identity theft easier at worst," wrote Tax Foundation vice president of legal projects Joseph Henchman.
The IRS contended it has added extra security to the e-file PIN page and is monitoring it for unusual activity. "Making it difficult for criminals to file false returns is a top priority for the IRS, and we have taken additional steps to protect taxpayers across multiple systems," said the IRS, in a statement emailed Thursday to Accounting Today. "The IRS has put in place additional security features around the e-file pin page to help protect against inappropriate accesses, and we continue to closely monitor the site for unusual activity. It's also important to note that the IRS has put additional protections and filters in place on its core tax return processing systems to help guard against identity theft and fraudulent tax returns. These processing systems have been strengthened as part of our Security Summit process with the tax industry, software companies and the states. The processing systems are separate and distinct from the e-file pin application, and taxpayer information has not been compromised on this critical platform. The IRS continues to closely monitor the e-file pin application as well as our other systems, and we will take action as needed to protect taxpayers."
On Wednesday, the IRS sent an email to tax professionals urging them to verify their Electronic Filing Identification Number activity as a way to protect their security (see IRS Warns Preparers about Protecting Electronic Filing IDs).

John Englander is from Cohasset and founded the Cohasset Education Foundation.
COHASSET – John C. Englander, of Cohasset, has been nominated to serve as the Associate Justice of the Appeals Court, Governor Charles Baker's office announced Wednesday.
Englander co-founded the Cohasset Education Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports and funds the Cohasset Public Schools. He's served on the Board of the Cohasset Education Foundation for several years.
For over 30 years, Englander has been a partner in the trial department of Goodwin Procter, a national law firm funded in Boston and currently serves as General Counsel to Massachusetts Department of Transportation and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.
"John Englander has a distinguished record as an outstanding litigator in the public and private sectors, with a record of service to his clients, the Commonwealth, and to the Courts," said Baker. "I am pleased to submit his name for the Governor's Council's advice and consent."
"Attorney Englander has demonstrated a strong commitment to helping the citizens of Massachusetts and its communities ... through his years of service helping support Cohasset Public Schools," said Lt. Governor Polito.
The Massachusetts Appeals Court reviews decisions that trial judges across the Departments of the Trial Court have already made. Their jurisdiction also includes the Appellate Tax Board, the Industrial Accident board, and the Commonwealth Employment Relations Board. The Appeals Court has twenty-five statutory justices, including the chief justice.
Englander has a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell Unviersity and a law degree from Boston University Law School. Englander and his wife, Mary-Ann, have three children.

Have you ever suspected that some of your biggest assets are also your biggest time drains? That's because the American worker wastes about two hours of every eight-hour day.
If you're looking for ways to conserve your business's resources, address these five common time wasters in the American workplace and up the office productivity.
Surfing and Socializing Online
Personal time spent online is by far the biggest time waster, as checking email, reading news, shopping, and visiting social networks is reported work-time behavior by two-thirds of Americans. Facebook is the big time suck. More than one-third of employees admit to indulging in the big blue distraction at the office.
Smartphone Use
A lot of the time online taking place during office hours happens on a mobile device. It's suspected that the tasks done on a phone are that ones that require the most discretion, such as looking for another job, and online dating. To do these tasks on the sly, employees hide their phones under their desks, use their phones in the restroom, and cover their phones with folders and notebooks.
Socializing with Coworkers
Of course, employees don't need technology to get their fix of face time. The draw of the water cooler is hard to fight. People spend as much time with coworkers as they do friends and family, so the desire to connect on a personal level is only natural. As much of a time suck as socializing can be, having a friendly relationship with coworkers can also benefit a business because it helps cut down on potential office politics.
Computer Trouble
Technology, intended to make tasks easier, can throw up obstacles of its own. One in ten employees say that problems with computers or software take up their time at work. Despite the bells and whistles, computers are just as likely to fail as the imperfect flesh.
Personal Business and Missing Motivation
Whether or not we're at the office, life keeps happening around us. Getting things done for spouses, kids, and the home can't always be relegated outside the 9 to 5. Other reasons American workers point to for mixing personal and professional time are long hours, lacking personal satisfaction, feeling underpaid, and missing incentives.
If you suspect your team is having trouble staying on task, have a chat and collaborate on ways to eliminate distractions during office hours. However, there is an upside to the story of the work time that never was. Many American workers believe that periodic downtime throughout the day helps them be more productive overall.
Ever-present technology is enabling employees to create a new work paradigm where they're plugged in all the time. We may leave our desk but we take our work with us wherever we go. Instead of blocking the Internet and locking down on time tracking, recognize a new life-work balance and foster the flow.
