Deirdre Shesgreen, Gannett Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON -- Internal Revenue Service agents in Cincinnati used additional "inappropriate" lists to flag certain tax-exempt applications for extra scrutiny, IRS Principal Deputy Commissioner Danny Werfel told reporters on Monday.
The IRS has previously acknowledged that the Cincinnati field office, which reviews all tax-exempt applications, used a "be on the lookout" list -- or BOLO list -- that included words like "Tea Party" and "patriot" to determine which groups should be subject to heightened scrutiny.
But Werfel said Monday that an internal IRS probe has turned up other, similar lists, which were in use by tax-exempt screeners when he took over as IRS chief at the end of May.
"There were a series of these types of lists being used in this part of the IRS as part of their review of tax-exempt applications," Werfel said in a conference call with reporters. "We believe there continued to be inappropriate or questionable criteria on these BOLO lists."
He declined to say what criteria or terms were on the additional BOLO lists, although he suggested they cast a wide net.
"There was a wide-ranging set of categories and cases that spanned a broad spectrum," Werfel said.
He said it would be "be premature to get into specifics," and said he had ordered a halt to "the use of any 'be on the lookout' lists" in the review of tax-exempt applications.
Werfel said the IRS was working to redact personal data from key documents relating to the BOLO lists so that information could be turned over to key congressional panels investigating the IRS scandal.
"I want to get to the bottom of this and I want this information out ... as quickly as possible so we can air these issues," he said.
Werfel's revelations came as the IRS released an interim internal report on the tax agency's handling of tax-exempt applications. He said the IRS's inquiry has "shed further light" on management failures that led to the scandal and allowed the targeting to continue for so long.
Werfel replaced Steven Miller, who had served as acting IRS commissioner but was forced to resign amid the controversy over IRS targeting of tea party groups.
The IRS scandal erupted last month, after an inspector general's audit found that Cincinnati-based IRS employees developed and implemented "inappropriate criteria" -- using terms like "Tea Party," "patriot," and "9/12" -- as triggers that sent those applications into a lengthy, burdensome review process.
Since the revelations became public, much of the IRS leadership has been replaced and the Justice Department launched a criminal investigation. Several congressional committees have also seized on the IRS targeting of conservative groups, questioning Washington and Cincinnati employees.
Werfel said the IRS review so far has not turned up any "evidence of intentional wrongdoing" inside the agency, nor any involvement by "anyone outside" the agency.
He said he briefed President Obama and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on the interim audit Monday before its release. He said in light of the findings so far, the IRS has installed "new leadership" in the top five posts overseeing the tax-exempt division.
He declined to name specific individuals or say what disciplinary actions had been taken. But in addition to Miller's resignation, the head of the IRS's tax-exempt division, Lois Lerner, has been placed on administrative leave.
Werfel also said the agency has created a new voluntary process for groups that have been waiting for tax-exempt status for more than 120 days to "self-certify" that they will comply with key rules limiting their political activity.
Such groups have to agree that they will not spend more than 40 percent of their time or money on political campaign activities. In exchange, they can win automatic tax exempt status.
Werfel said the agency can always review these groups' activities afterwards, to make sure they are in compliance.

A Path is a vector object that can be used to make selections, or as a target for a stroke or fill, and possibly other purposes. A default path called the "work path" will be created as soon as you start using the Pen Tool (P). All uses of the Pen Tool will add to this path until it is deselected in the Paths palette. If you deselect it and start using the Pen tool again, the work path will be overwritten. If you want to save that path, just drag the work path in the palette to the New Path icon, and it will be renamed and saved. At any time you can click the New Path button to create a new path, and whichever path you have highlighted in the palette will be the one you're working with. Okay, on to use of the Pen tool.
The Pen creates Bezier (pronounced BEZ-ee-ay; it's a French name) curves or splines, sometimes known as B-splines. These splines are made up of anchor points, each of which has up to two control handles, and the anchors are connected by the curve itself. The curve's shape is controlled by the angle and length of the control handles. In a Bezier spline, the line will always pass through the center of the anchor point, and the handles will always be tangent to the curve as it passes through the point. But that's quite enough theory. How do you actually draw something with the thing?
It takes some practice to get used to drawing with splines. With a Bezier, the trick is to put your anchor points in places where the line needs to change direction, and to use as few as possible. In the following images, I'll trace a photograph, so you can see where I place my anchors and what I do to get the shapes that I want.
In this image, all I need is an oval, and I want all of my points to be symmetrical, so I just click-drag out my lines and adjust them as I go so that the curve follows the mouth of the cement mixer:
I only selected one anchor point here, so you can only see the handles influencing that portion of the curve. The others look pretty much the same.
In the next image, my shape is a bit more complex. Notice that the anchors are only in the corners, and that I've broken the tangents so that the curves have a different trajectory leaving the anchor than they do entering it. Also notice that there are only handles on two of the points. The others are "cusp points," which means that the anchor does not influence the direction of the curve. Also notice that one point has only one handle. That was my starting point, and I did a simple click to start, then click-dragged to finish it, so it only got one handle. In order to break a tangent, click-drag to make the point and pull out its handles, then hold down the alt key. The handle furthest from the cursor will stay put, but the one nearer the cursor can be dragged around independently.
The nice thing about these vector lines is that you don't have to get them right from the first click. You can use the Direct Selection Tool (a) to select a point and move it. Once selected, that point's handles will appear, and you can manipulate them also. Again, to break the tangents, just hold down alt while dragging a handle. If you need to turn a smooth point into a cusp or vice-versa, you can use the Convert Point tool, which is in the Pen tool's flyout.
The best way, in my opinion, to learn how to use the Pen tool is to trace some images with it. Use it to make paths that you use to cut an object out of its background, and you'll quickly learn where to place your points and how to manipulate them for best effect. Start with something simple, like a piece of fruit, then do a car, and then something more complex like that cement mixer. If you want to really go nuts, get After Effects and start doing it with video; that's called rotoscoping, and it's one of the most essential tasks necessary when creating visual effects for film and TV (which is what I do for a living). And, of course, the Pen is the primary tool in vector illustration programs like Inkscape and Illustrator.
The photograph of the cement mixer is my own. The full image is available here: http://www.bryanray.name/photos/CementMixer.jpg

Wilmington native and Bobcats owner Michael Jordan is officially a Charlotte homeowner.
The Charlotte Observer reports that the former University of North Carolina star and six-time NBA champion has purchased and combined the two top-floor penthouses at a luxury condominium building in Charlotte.
The agency that brokered the deal says Jordan closed on the $3.15 million property last week.
Jordan's new, 7,000-square-foot residence is about two blocks from Time Warner Cable Arena, where the Bobcats play.
The condos come with amenities like gourmet kitchens, outdoor living spaces, grilling areas and gas fireplaces. Jordan also installed a private elevator from the lobby to his condo.
Jordan became the Bobcats' majority owner earlier this year.

Prior to the start of the 2009 season it looked like Florida State was well on its way putting together another outstanding recruiting class. But as with FSU's 2009 football season, the recruiting class appears to be slipping away.Before the September 12th Jacksonville State game, the Seminoles were sitting pretty with 15 verbal commitments and were considered the outright leader for at least seven recruits ranked in the Rivals250 or higher. But within the past month, FSU's drive on the recruiting trail has hit some major speed bumps. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

The Jinchūriki's Tears (人柱力の涙, Jinchūriki no Namida) is episode 9 of Naruto: Shippūden anime.
On the outskirts of the Sunagakure, the shinobi prepared to detonate the surrounding area, whilst elsewhere the elders were already making plans for a new Kazekage. When the meeting had just finished, someone rushed in and told them that Kankurō had been found. Sasori catches up to Deidara and the two were ready to make off with their target. After they were done with Deidara's target, Sasori had planned to go after his, even though he still had no idea where his target was. Kankurō is later found and brought back to Suna's hospital. While his wounds weren't serious, the main problem was the poison in his body and that no-one in the Suna knew how to negate it. En route to the Sunagakure, Team Kakashi spotted Temari, who joined them upon hearing what had happened to Gaara. During their journey to the Suna, Naruto thought back to when Itachi and Kisame had approached him to capture him for Akatsuki's purposes: extracting the power of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox within Naruto and using it for their own personal gain. Naruto picked up the pace, despite the others saying that they should stick together. He realised that the reason Akatsuki was after him and Gaara was because they only saw them as monsters due to the beasts within them. Naruto realised just how similar he and Gaara really were, and why they were only looked at as beasts. With tears of anger in his eyes, Naruto pressed on. Kankurō's condition had worsened, and his body was in such a weak condition that he could barely speak. Despite this, he was able to tell Baki about Sasori. Baki went to an information centre and told the two shinobi inside to inform the pursuit squad to retreat, while he went off to speak to "them". Baki approached and informed the two of Gaara's capture by Akatsuki and Kankurō's condition, but they were not particularly interested as there was not much the two of them could do in their state. As far as they were concerned, what happened was not their business, even though it would do Chiyo good to see her grandson, Sasori, again.

Hi Judy, it's quite common for a vinaigrette with lemon juice to still be referred to as a "vinaigrette". As far as I know, there's no name for a mixture of lemon juice and oil. In my mind ... that's ... a vinaigrette! :)
If the dressing is called vinaigrette, shouldn't there be some vinegar in the recipe? Only oil is mentioned for liquids. This looks really good!

Exim Bank Tanzania has donated two water storage tanks with the capacity of storing 10,000 litres of water to Pwani Primary School at Kunduchi village in Dar es Salaam.
Speaking at the handover ceremony at the school yesterday, the school headteacher, Fredy Sudy said the donation will help in the availability of safe and clean water at the school, especially when the city experiences water shortage.
"Pupils are forced to go back to their homes in search of drinking water and at times beg water from the neighbouring communities. We are grateful that Exim bank has been able to come to our rescue," he said.
"After securing the water tanks, we will call a parents meeting this weekend to help us work on a sustainable water harvesting project at the school," he said.
Earlier, Sudy pointed out that the school is encountering various challenges among which are lack of toilet facilities and desks thus calling upon more companies to render support to it.
For her part, Exim Bank Tanzania Limited public relations and marketing manager Linda Chiza urged pupils to make good use of the water tanks so that they can serve them for a long time.
"These tanks are now yours, ensure that they are always in good condition so that they can continue serving you for a long time," she stressed.
She however called upon the students to develop a saving culture while still young that would help them sustain their lives in future urging that her bank has got specific accounts to cater for children's needs.

Police say they are trying to determine how a medical box containing a pair of eyeballs ended up in a trash bin at a gas station in Kansas City.
Police spokesman Steve Young says a worker at a Conoco station in the city's north called police after finding the cardboard box late Wednesday. The box was labeled, "Keep refrigerated."
Young says police aren't sure if the eyes are human, or whether any crime has been committed. Surveillance video shows two men in a blue Toyota leaving the package on the trash bin.
Police say no eye banks or hospitals in the area were awaiting delivery of any eyeballs.
The Jackson County Medical Examiner's office is holding the package while the investigation continues.

- Kitchen matters: ethno-cuisines and contemporary foodways
- Author(s)
- Ballantyne, Glenda; Benny, Helen
- Abstract
- Food and food preparation have become the subjects of much popular discourse in recent years. Sociological analysis of this phenomenon has made extensive use of published texts such as cookery books and recipes from women's magazines. Surprisingly, however, informal or 'home' recipes have received much less attention. This paper draws on recipes collected during an investigation of culinary practices in a multicultural community in Melbourne to highlight the effectiveness of this underutilized analytical tool. Data derived from recounted recipes suggest that enduring attachments to distinct ethno-cuisines are providing a partial counterweight to the standardization and homogenization characteristic of rationalized food systems. At the same time it reveals how ethnically-defined food cultures are themselves evolving and becoming partially rationalized in an intricate interplay between tradition and innovation in contemporary foodways.

A technique where chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire and expelled from the mouth either as a massive orb of roaring flame or as a continuous flame-thrower. The scope of the attack is altered by controlling the volume of chakra that is mustered. The released flames will engulf their target, and leave a crater on the ground's surface. This technique apparently requires more than average chakra reserves and most genin should not be able to do this technique.
The Uchiha clan also uses this technique as a "coming of age" rite and as such was a common and one of the more favoured technique amongst them.[3]
- According to Kakashi Hatake, this technique was originally created by the Uchiha clan, becoming one of their favoured moves at which they became very adept.[4]
- The characters for Fireball (火球) also means a "bolide", a "comet", and a "shooting star".
- The manga portrays use of this technique as unique to the Uchiha clan, while the anime has portrayed it as a common Fire Release technique used by several non-Uchiha.
- In the video game Naruto Shippūden: Dragon Blade Chronicles, Naruto's Dragon Blade enables him to perform this technique (though he refers to it as Fire Shot) despite Fire not being his nature type.
- In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 4, after learning all other techniques and beating Kakashi in battle, he will teach the player this technique and allows the player to customise it to characters in free battle.
- In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 5, during The Chambers of the Darkness: The White Chapter, you get a scroll with this technique in the last room of Orochimaru's Hideout.
- During his battle with Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura and Chiyo, Itachi was seen using the hand seals: Boar, Horse, and Tiger to create this technique.

The making of a brand-new iPad magazine that's already sick of the Internet
Jim Windolf, a contributing editor and writer for Vanity Fair, was sitting in a large, multi-desk cubicle in a warren of similar cubicles in a 10th floor office on West 27th Street on a rainy afternoon, explaining his new project.
The office, a temporary space shared with a bunch of local startups and paid for by the desk, was spare, but what stood out were the stacks of books, and a big copy of the Spy magazine anthology that came out in 2006. It was his sixth day on the job, and he made several apologies for having not much specific to say about his plans. But he actually had a lot to say.
Windolf, 48, is a recent addition to the group of people who are behind Punch!, a new iPad publication that is, for now, mostly a sparsely populated "bookshelf" of interactive games and visuals and other little graphic toys on the broad themes of contemporary politics and pop culture news. (It's free at the App Store, here.)
"The web is increasingly feeling like noise and bother," he said. "I mean I read it, all day. But I don't always feel so good afterward."
What he sees in Punch! is the possibility of creating a successor to Spy, the seminal late-'80s monthly-magazine brainchild of Kurt Andersen and Graydon Carter that was a turning point in the culture of magazine-making and reading. It was a relatively short-lived, money-losing proposition that, in the final stages of its growth, scattered its seed across Manhattan like some kind of plucked dandelion, sprouting nasty bits of yellow everywhere it landed.
"On the other hand, I used to read Spy and not feel great afterward, either," he said. "That's something people forget."
The two of us had thumbed through the Spy anthology and he had been pointing admiringly to lots of its pieces and features. We both found ourselves doing what one always does looking at that book: Wondering where the energy came from to be so enervated about the culture, to have it sprout out so easily, so messily and so perfectly on the page.
Windolf, a former editor at the Spy-inflected New York Observer (where I also worked, though not at the same time) wasn't really contradicting himself about that feeling of indigestion.
Much of the web is an endless array of little bites one after the other, a Tapas restaurant from hell. At some point you walk away from the table and pay an astronomical bill, but those little bites are still arriving at other tables, piling up in your absence, swimming in garlic and grease. It's possible that nothing you've tasted yet is as important or as good as the things now accumulating there, you think, as you make the difficult choice to walk away.
Spy was something else: A big, rich meal, served at a white tablecloth, course after course. Before long, dawdling over each plate becomes something you do in the hopes that someone will take it away, and that suddenly you'll be given a cup of coffee, or some other sign that your gluttony was near an end. And then you got it: the last page of the magazine. You wouldn't be eating again that way for a month.
Windolf pointed to a piece by Philip Weiss that appeared in the November, 1989 issue of Spy, called "Masters of the Universe Go to Camp: Inside the Bohemian Grove."
The piece clocks in at 10,000 words—hardly the stuff to down between courses of data entry or legal briefs or stock trades. But it is also spread out in the magazine over 13 pages, giving each page a very luxurious average for cartoons, photos, and sidebars.
"Spy always seemed like it was fighting the limits of what you could do with print," Windolf said.
There are lots of reasons publishers of magazines, long-form journalism and nonfiction writing and the like have hailed the coming of the iPad. The boring part of all that is whether the simple fact of the new platform allows publishers a pretense to start charging for content. The interesting part is what happens when publishers, many of whom have for some reason or another never really taken the time to develop a language for their literary ambitions on the Internet, actually begin doing so for the iPad.
Windolf brought up the early Soviet film director and theorist Sergei Eisenstein.
"In early film, someone had to invent the grammar of it," he said. "That you have a shot of someone looking to the right, and then cut to someone looking to the left, that they are looking at each other—that was invented. They had to invent the grammar of film."
Publishers' work on the internet pales in comparison, really, to those 20 years at the beginning of film when it comes to developing a web-specific storytelling grammar. And that's where Windolf, like some others before him, sees some potential.
"It's specific to the tablet, to swiping around and moving on the surface of something rather than clicking and typing," he said.
So far, there isn't much on Punch! that could really exist anywhere else.
There's Cabin Pressure, an illustration featuring a cutaway model of an airport with a plane on the nearby tarmac that comes with the sound effects of a muted airport P.A. system. You quickly gather that touching various people and things around the airport will bring up a box with a little story in it, like, say, one that makes reference pop singer Bjork's history of getting into trouble at airports. Some items have video or pictures in the box that you can touch to watch. You certainly could make this for the real internet, and have hover-states for the mouse pointer that told you where to interact. But in all likelihood nobody would, because the economy of the internet provides a strong disincentive to spend the money and development time on something like this, which audiences will often reach unintentionally.

Revision as of 22:15, 22 April 2014
Title text: The bug report was marked 'could not reproduce'.
This is a comic with a take on an application store - the most common app stores are for iPhones and Android devices. App stores take all the reviews and average the ratings for the overall star rating. In this comic, we see why this is sometimes a bad idea. In this case, there are three 5 star reviews about the stability and user interface features of the app, left by users who actually never experienced its core functionality (simply because they never had a tornado since they got it); however, the only review related to whether the app really works is given the same weight as the others. Also see future comic 1098: Star Ratings.
The image text is a note from the developer's bug report, which said they could not reproduce the error. Of course, they could only reproduce such a failure if there were a tornado coming towards their area. This is a fairly rare situation, especially in certain areas of the world. This lack of suitable testing conditions explains why the actual tornado-prediction portion of their code appears to be faulty.
- [The comic is a single panel which resembles a reviews page for a mobile phone application.]

- From DroidCoder2187
- [Description:]
- Plays a loud alert sound when there is a tornado warning for your area.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Based on 4 reviews
- User Reviews:
- Reviewer 1: Rated 5 stars Good UI! Many alert choices.
- Reviewer 2: Rated 5 stars Running great, no crashes
- Reviewer 3: Rated 5 stars I like how you can set multiple locations
- Reviewer 4: Rated 1 star App did not warn me about tornado.
- The problem with averaging star ratings
add a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments!
The image text is also a reference to another comic: http://xkcd.com/583/ In this comic, the bug was that the speech recognition fails on a young child's voice. So the team attempts to reproduce a child in order to fix the bug and get the test subject. The bug report is closed as cannot fixed with the reason being 'could not reproduce'. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:40, 22 August 2012 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
And it's happened. See https://twitter.com/andymangold/status/341327603451441152/photo/1. Four-star rated "Tornado by American Red Cross" app, current top review reads "I did not find this app useful at all. There was a tornado watch for eight hours in my town, a tornado warning for 30 minutes, and there were no warnings or alerts visible on this app." 18.104.22.168 16:58, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- ROFL ;) If this picture is real it should be added to this explain. Check the Customer Review here: itunes, I am sure it's just a reaction on this comic.--Dgbrt (talk) 19:06, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
According to 1098, it's still an OK app. 22:57, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
'could not reproduce'
I used Google News BEFORE it was clickbait (talk) 13:19, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
This is why looking at both the positive and negative reviews is good practice. --188.8.131.52 17:57, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

|シソウ Shisō
|Naruto Episode #179
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Shisō (シソウ, Shisō) is a shinobi from Hoshigakure. He and Yotaka worked under Akahoshi.
After the Third Hoshikage cancelled the star training because its risk was far too great, Shisō and his partner Yotaka led by Akahoshi, came to request the Third to resume the training. After the Hoshikage refused, he along with his partner assisted Akahoshi in assassinating the Third. Though questioning if it was going to far, they were silenced by Akahoshi. After this event, they claimed that the Third suddenly grew ill and died while Akahoshi became the self-proclaimed Fourth Hoshikage.
Shiso has long chin length black hair and dark-coloured eyes. He wears a purple Forehead protector on his forehead and a Blue-Purple coloured Flakjacket with an black long sleeve shirt underneath it. He also wears a black pair of shorts.
He is able to use the Mysterious Peacock Method and could support Akahoshi's techniques by offering him his chakra reserves. He also managed to kill the third Hoshikage alongside Yotaka, although this most likely happened because they caught him off guard. He could also quickly recognise that he is stalked by someone.
Part I
Hoshigakure Arc
They both assisted Akahoshi the assassination of the Third Hoshikage. When the Leaf Ninja were summoned to Hoshigakure to protect the meteor, Rock Lee and Tenten were suspicious of them and did a stakeout until being discovered. After Akahoshi kidnapped Sumaru, he sent Shisō and Yotaka to fetch the Konoha ninja to help Akahoshi fight Natsuhi.
He, Akahoshi, and Yotaka later found where the meteor is hidden and ran afoul of Naruto Uzumaki and Natsuhi. Akahoshi absorbed the chakra of Shisō and Yotaka. Shisō and Yotaka recovered after Akahoshi recovered the star. Shisō and Yotaka tried to get Akahoshi to give up, but Akahoshi ignored them. When Akahoshi fused with the star, Shisō and Yotaka were among those hit by Akahoshi's out of control chakra. After Akahoshi was defeated, Tsunade mentioned that he, Akahoshi, and Yotaka will be subjected to harsh punishment.

An iPad app leads police to thieves who broke into a car and stole the iPad and other items Friday night.
Police were called to investigate a vehicle break-in shortly before 9 p.m. in the 400 block of E. St. Elmo. The victim had several items stolen, including an iPad that had a tracking application running.
Only 11 News talked to the family Saturday, they said they were only gone for a few minutes. They left an iPad, a purse, and a wallet inside the truck, while they went to grab a few things from their mom's apartment. Karla told us they're a little shaken up by the whole thing and didn't want to reveal her identity. She and her husband came back to see their truck had been broken into.
"My purse was taken and my mother in law's wallet was taken from the vehicle and all my credit cards were just taken and gone you know, keys to the house, everything," Karla said.
They've since changed their locks and cancelled their credit cards. It was this simple app, "track my iPhone" that helped Colorado Springs Police find a stolen iPad and the two people they believe are responsible.
"While the police were still with us taking our statements we opened up the app and we did a location find on it and we were able to find the location of where the iPad was at the time," Karla said.
Police traced the app to the 1000 block of Norwood Avenue, where officers saw a car parked in the approximate location of the iPad. As officers approached the vehicle, a juvenile fled the car, leaving two others behind.
Karla's glad technology worked to their advantage and found the stolen iPad just a few blocks away. She believes the crooks may have been watching them, but never the less, plan to be more careful leaving things in cars next time.
The two teens arrested for the iPad break in and theft were Raul Barros, 18, and Vincent Jackson, 19. In their car, police found burglary tools, a shotgun and the iPad. The juvenile who ran was picked up a short time later and all three face charges of Possession of Burglary Tools, Possession of a Dangerous Weapon and Possession of a Weapon by a Previous Offender.
This isn't the only incident when a tracking device helped investigators. Earlier Saturday, Fountain Police found a car that had been stolen from the Springs. Investigators told 11 News, a woman was about to leave town when she had her car stolen.
Her phone was inside the car and with a tracking app, lead police to the area of Crest Street near Santa Fe in Fountain. Jordan Vredeveld and Ester Wright were both arrested in connection to this crime.
We looked into the background of everyone arrested, they've all had run ins with the law before.

The Battle of the Yellow Fork is a minor engagement in the War of the Five Kings. It occurs off screen between "The Old Gods and the New" and "A Man Without Honor." The army of House Stark in the Westerlands moves west from Oxcross to attack a force of House Lannister conscripts at the Yellow Fork.
Having won a trio of victories in the Riverlands and a decisive victory at the Battle of Oxcross the army of House Stark under the command of King Robb I pushes further into the Westerlands.[1] The victory at Oxcross has left the region lightly defended.[2]
King Robb Stark's forces assault the Lannister forces at the Yellow Fork and win another victory, taking many more prisoners.[3]
Lord Rickard Karstark reports taking so many Lannister prisoners that the Stark cells are overflowing. Talisa Maegyr continues to treat Robb's wounded along with those of his enemies following the battle.[3]
The volume of prisoners leads to Jaime Lannister being housed with another man for the first time since his capture. This affords him the opportunity to make an escape attempt, murdering his cellmate Alton Lannister and killing Torrhen Karstark. He is recaptured shortly afterwards.[3]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels there is no battle of this name. The location Yellow Fork is not mentioned in the books. However, the battle following the Battle of Oxcross is the Battle of Ashemark. The Season 2 bluray confirms the two battles are the same as the War of the Five Kings feature mentions Robb sacks Ashemark after his victory at Oxcross.

November 2007
By Lawrence P. Farrell Jr.
The politics of military spending have reached fever pitch as Congress attempts to pass the Defense Department's fiscal year 2008 budget and weighs massive war spending requests.
The debate over the budget, much like last year's deliberations, has been overpowered by the politics of the war in Iraq, including various legislative efforts to mandate deadlines for troop withdrawals and shorten deployments.
These are legitimate issues for Congress to deliberate, but they should not be an excuse for delaying the appropriation of critical funding that the military services need, not just to fight the war, but also to sustain day-to-day operations at home and around the world.
In addition to President Bush's defense budget request of $483 billion for the fiscal that began Oct. 1, lawmakers are mulling over a record-high $190 billion request for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
These are unprecedented levels of defense spending. But Congress must also recognize that the demand for resources has never been higher. It also must consider that the longer it takes to appropriate the funds, the more difficult it gets for the services — particularly the Army and the Marine Corps — to do their jobs. It is worth recalling that last year, the Army had to "cash flow" war operations for several months — and even borrow funds from the Air Force — until Congress got around to passing an emergency request.
Once again, the military services are being forced to shuffle resources around to keep things running in the absence of a fiscal 2008 budget and war appropriations. Not only does this create accounting nightmares for the services but it also disrupts important activities, such as training and temporary-duty travel, which cannot be easily restored months later.
There has to be a timely resolution of these budget matters.
Additionally, Congress must find a way to set aside the contentious and politically charged issues that surround the Iraq war and begin to think about the larger financial challenges that confront the Defense Department.
Notwithstanding the substantial increases seen in defense budgets since 2001, expenditures seem to grow at an even faster pace. And even if a troop drawdown began in the near future, the war's strain on the budget will continue for years after U.S. forces leave Iraq.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the total cost of ongoing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan between now and 2017 — depending on the level of troop commitments — could range from $1.09 trillion to $1.62 trillion.
The cost of replacing equipment is a major unknown. Even though the Army already has forecast $13 billion a year in "reset" costs to repair weapons and vehicles, the bill could be much higher, contends the Government Accountability Office.
Personnel costs will be huge. The expansion of the Army and the Marine Corps by 92,000 troops is expected to cost $110 billion during the next five years. Escalating demands for military health care — both for wounded troops and retirees — will continue to strain the budget.
Another major financial concern is the implementation of the services' long-term force structure, readiness and modernization plans. The competition for procurement dollars, particularly, will intensify as all the services launch major efforts to recapitalize aging fleets and transition to next-generation weapon systems.
Due to cost growth in major acquisition programs, it is likely that substantially higher levels of funding will be needed than is currently budgeted to execute the services' plans over the long term, analysts point out. According to CBO, implementing the services' defense plans could require increasing annual funding in the base budget by some $65 billion above the level currently projected for fiscal year 2013.
It would be unrealistic to expect defense budgets to keep rising and to eventually not be crowded out by other national priorities, such as reducing the federal debt, ensuring the health and durability of Social Security and Medicare, and providing greater resources for education, health research and other domestic programs.
The long-term federal budget picture has dramatically worsened over the past six years, says a study by the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. Unfortunately, it is likely that the outlook will deteriorate still further in coming years. Projections for the years beyond 2017 are far worse. Deficits are projected to become much larger after members of the baby-boomer generation begin retiring at the end of this decade. This change in demographics has enormous implications both for federal spending and revenue generation.
These bleak fiscal projections, says CSBA, do not prove that the administration's proposed funding increases for defense are not sustainable over the long run. But they suggest that sustaining these increases could be difficult, and will likely require making hard choices between defense and other priorities.
Simply put, the squeeze on resources will get tighter, even as budgets remain high in the near term. The question is precisely how long we can continue to cram too many demands into the defense budget before we witness the fiscal train wreck that so many analysts have predicted for many years.

Boy Scouts here in Eastern Carolina say they have lost funding due to policies on not admitting gay scouts and leaders.
In a news release today, Scout Executive Ray Franks says he believes the national policy to allow gays into scouting would be changed unless more individuals who support the present policy "stepped up to support their local council."
Franks says the East Carolina Council, which is based in Kinston, has lost between $30,000 and $50,000 in the past year in funds that can be directly related to the gay ban. He said they have also been turned down by many trust funds and companies over the issue.
Franks says the local council has three less professional staff than it did at this time last year.
Earlier today, the BSA's national executive board delayed a decision on whether to lift the ban on gays.
Previous Story
The Boy Scouts of America's national executive board has delayed a decision on whether to lift its longstanding ban on gay scouts and leaders.
BSA said Wednesday the organization will take action on the resolution at its national meeting in May.
The organization said last week it was considering a shift of its policy, which has led officials to remove gay leaders and scouts. That announcement pushed years of debate over the policy to an even higher level.
President Barack Obama -- Scouting's honorary president -- spoke in favor of letting gay scouts in. Others opposed a shift. Protesters on both sides rallied at BSA headquarters in Irving, outside Dallas.
Scout leaders across the country will now have to decide how to handle a very delicate issue.

Much has been made of the quarterback class within the state of Oklahoma. The trio of David Cornwell, Justice Hansen, and Coleman Key has drawn great amounts of notoriety and acclaim but that doesn't mean that Josh Heupel has shut down his search to the Oklahoma boarders.
Recently Heupel decided to have a look beyond the border made by the Red River and came away impressed by Fort Worth All Saints Episcopal standout Foster Sawyer. And in a bit of good news for Heupel and the Oklahoma staff it appears the interest is reciprocal.
"I actually came from a different school. My old school, I went to Grace Prep, and my head coach Richard Reed played at Oklahoma, so since my freshman year I've gone to their football camp," Sawyer explained about where his interest began.
"I knew when I was a freshman they put me with the seniors but I don't know if coach Heupel was that aware. The past couple of weeks they've stopped by and talked to my coaches and asked me to come down (for junior day)." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Emarketing is a theory that is essential now and has, in this type of brief lapse of time, captured the interest of marketers if businesses need to live in this world that is digital. Emarketing may be described as the achievement of marketing goals through using electronic communication. Marketers should identify the needs of customers in order to meet them much more economically utilizing the world wide web as a medium of communicating.
Digital technologies have become part of the everyday life of everyone's. Because technology is the future authorities of several nations are investing heavily in the ICT sector. Additionally, digital technology is expanding marketers' range towards consumers' experience of interactive advertising.
Marketers have various tools to fit digital technologies towards e marketing objectives. A number of them have been elaborated in this post.
A digicam is a device that is now an extremely vital gear in advertising now; whether in the traditional media or the electronic media and records pictures. A photograph is a part of the visual communication supplied to customers which have info. Such advice ascertains whether an activity of approval or rejection will endure in regard to the item picture and whether the clients are visually met. The digital camera is a must have tool required for merchandise communication. Usually, firms hire professional photographers for the creation of their pictures or photo agencies.
Yet, together with the continuous innovation of digital technologies, photographers are slowly leaving their area to a professional photograph option that is far more powerful. It's the electronic picture studio. An electronic picture studio, also sent as digital picture lightbox is a quick, risk-free and really simple method in getting your merchandise pictures. These creative picture studios are accessible in the marketplace.
The picture studios are simple ways to make quality merchandise pictures. The demands for light teams outside photographers and graphic designers aren't wanted. Construct instinctive with no specific trainings needed to manipulate the electronic workstation; anyone can create professional quality photographs within minutes. The application that comes along is efficient, straightforward and simple to use. In addition, it permits some photo editing choices. Additionally known as the lightbox that is creative, these studios give you on the spot results.
The lighting of the electronic picture studio is continuous and no other light set up is needed. Moreover, no cast shadows are created as a result of powerful symmetrical placement of four lights within the studio. The chance of macro photography is quite accurate with this type of workstation. Macro photographs are close up pictures of merchandise pictures. These pictures are quite appealing as they reveal a the characteristics of a product from quite close.
The fascinating thing about the electronic picture studio is the fact that interactional 360deg cartoons and 3-dimensional cartoons of products might be accomplished through some clicks by anyone. Additionally, weights, sizes and heights don't matter as there are distinct studios that fit various merchandises, be it for goods that are small, merchandises that are tall or big merchandises. The electronic picture studio, without doubt, is an ideal tool required for merchandise communication.
Computer game is just another high interactional approach to capture the interest of crowds, particularly the focus of teenagers. Marketers can advertise in the game. For instance, an auto game has the auto brand names within the game- this encourages the brand name of automobile manufacturing firms. Marketers can put their products into the game or they are able to advertise online in multiplayer sites. Therefore, computer games are a good method to market to younger adults or teens.
