President Barack Obama today called on Congress to pass legislation introduced by Rep. Brad Ellsworth and U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) to withhold federal contracts from those who owe taxes to the federal government. The President made his remarks while signing a Presidential Directive ordering the Office of Management and Budget, Treasury Department, and other federal agencies to take steps to prevent contractors who are delinquent on their taxes from receiving new government contracts.
"Beyond these steps, I'm also calling on Congress to build on the kind of legislation that Senator McCaskill, Congressman Ellsworth, and Chairman Towns have introduced -- and that I introduced when I was senator -- legislation that will crack down on tax cheats by allowing the IRS to share information about tax delinquency with contracting officials. And by the way, when I introduced that Senate bill, Claire stood by me, and Brad led the way in the House," said President Obama.
In April of 2008, Ellsworth and then-Senator Barack Obama introduced the Contracting and Tax Accountability Act to address this problem. McCaskill was a cosponsor of the bill in the Senate. A similar provision had previously been included in the Omnibus Appropriations Package of 2007, but only applied to contracts awarded in Fiscal Year 2008. The Ellsworth-McCaskill bill would make this a permanent requirement for the awarding of government contracts.
Ellsworth attended the signing ceremony and applauded the announcement as an important step toward restoring fiscal accountability and the public's trust in Washington.
"Everyday Americans play by the rules and pay their taxes; I don't think it's too much to ask companies that receive millions, sometimes billions, in taxpayer dollars to do the same," said Ellsworth. "With his signature today, the President has moved the ball forward in holding tax cheats accountable and reforming the contracting process."
Studies by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have repeatedly shown that thousands of federal contractors owe over $5 billion in unpaid taxes. While the government does require organizations seeking federal contracts to reveal a certain level of financial information, delinquent tax debt does not currently exclude an applicant from receiving the taxpayers' dollars.
In fact, current law prohibits the disclosure of taxpayer data, which means there is no mechanism for contracting officers to access the IRS's tax data when conducting their review of prospective contractors. Without a systematic review process, the federal government ultimately continues to award lucrative contracts to companies with significant tax debt.
"Our bill is a practical and cost-effective way to ensure all companies compete on an equal playing field and our tax dollars are being used wisely," said Ellsworth. "Together, with the support of the President today, we will restore some needed accountability to the contracting process and protect the taxpayers going forward. It is an issue that deserves our time in the House, and I hope our leadership with heed the President's call and consider it soon."

Bakery Refuses to Make "Trump 2016" Birthday Cake
By Todd Starnes
McKenzie Gill, of Bossier City, Louisiana turns 18 this year -- and she plans on casting her very first presidential vote for Donald Trump.
"Trump is just someone I really look up to," she told television station KSLA.
McKenzie decided to commemorate this monumental moment with a birthday cake -- made by the good folks at Albertson's.
She wanted an American flag cake -- with the words Trump 2016.
But as KSLA reports - the baker refused to include the word Trump - just flat-out turned her down.
"She was like, 'I can make you a flag cake but I'm not going to write Trump on it,'" she told the television station.
So McKenzie and her mom had to go somewhere else to get that birthday cake. Later, she wrote about the incident on Facebook and well - as you might expect - it went viral.
Faster than you could blow out a birthday candle, Albertson's released an apology:
"We apologize to our customer in Bossier City for the situation regarding the cake that was requested. Our Bakery staff member misunderstood the training provided regarding copyrighted phrases, and incorrectly informed the customer we could not fulfill her request. We would be happy to provide the cake as the customer requested."
McKenzie says it's all good - and she still plans on voting for Mr. Trump in November -- proving you really can have your cake and candidate, too.

"Where are the Cayman Islands?" friends at home often ask me. "South of Cuba, north of Jamaica," I usually say, to which an envious response follows.
It was the same question that I had posed to the recruitment consultant when he first suggested Cayman as an option. I was then a solicitor in the City, tired of traversing the underground and longing to see more of the sun.
I was looking to move to a smaller city, hopeful of being handed City-quality work with greater client contact, and I found all of the above – and the sun – in Cayman.
As exotic as its location may sound, Cayman is probably the least Caribbean island in the region. This is partly due to the large proportion of expatriates that live and work here. Known as the fifth largest financial centre in the world, this Overseas British Territory is awash with accountants and attorneys from all over the world and is miles away from the image that people may have of a far off place where money is just deposited with no questions asked.
If you live here, surrounded by professionals from other first world jurisdictions, you will attest to the fact that Cayman is a responsible and stable player in the international financial services community.
To me, one of Cayman's greatest selling points is the diversity of nationalities residing here. For instance, just within the firm where I practice – Mourant du Feu & Jeune – there are lawyers from the UK, Canada, South Africa, Jamaica, Malaysia and Cayman, each bringing a unique experience to the team, making it collectively stronger.
Cayman's diversity also extends to the variety of work on offer. In the three and a half years I've been here, I've had conduct of, or assisted in, trust disputes, shareholder disputes, judicial review proceedings and even intellectual property disputes. In the background, I manage the more general disputes involving contracts and estates. While most of my colleagues focus on funds, financial services, insolvency or trusts, I have been happy to handle a mixed portfolio. Professionally, I can attest that I have grown leaps and bounds.
Most people move to Cayman for the work-life balance it offers. A typical workday in Cayman spans from 8am to 6pm. The commute to work takes about 15 minutes, leaving enough personal time to unwind and engage in the many activities on offer. Soccer, rugby, cricket, tennis, volleyball, golf, diving, running, swimming, cycling are all popular sports on the island, all very accessible. Having free time outside work was something I had to get used to, having moved from London. Although I initially found the place dull, I soon learned to use the time available constructively.
When Jamaica chose independence in 1962, the Cayman Islands opted to retain its links with Britain, a decision that continues to lend it political stability and has aided the growth of its financial sector. I can see my links with Cayman continuing for some time – what started as a two-year plan of visiting the Caribbean looks increasingly likely to evolve into a longer-term prospect.
I'm glad I made the move here despite its relative obscurity on the world map and would recommend it to others, especially to those with young children.

Bengaluru, Sep 16: Paige has been suspended from WWE last month onwards due to the Wellness Policy Violation. She was also supposedly nagging a legit neck injury as told by her mother on Twitter.
Plus, she was also having a rift with WWE due to her inappropriate use in the WWE women's division. His boyfriend, Alberto Del Rio has already quitted WWE for the same reason.
As a result of all of these, she was not seen on WWE television tapings since last June. Although, she has been the talking point the whole time from then on. The social media alongside the pro-wrestling circuit was talking about her recent status all the time. What was more shocking was that both Paige and Del Rio were suspended on the same day leading birth to the rumors that the conflict is has reached the limit and she might not return to WWE, ever.
However, the latest report from PwInsider.com gives us some breaking news regarding the British Diva. It reports that youngest Divas champion in WWE history is all set to return to WWE starting from next week's WWE Raw. Paige and WWE are very much in connection and hence she is already booked for the show. It is worth to mention that September 17th will mark the end of her suspension. Paige is also booked for the subsequent Raw events and other WWE live events after returning.
It is good news for all of Paige's fans. After months of speculation about the Diva's future in the company, it looks like she is ready to return on the road. But, it was also reported earlier that she is not supposed to be in good terms with the company and hence her strong booking is really is doubt.
It will be good to see her be back in the title picture after months of absence. However, if the company keeps on the ongoing vendetta against the young lady, it will ruin her career.
WWE Raw creative should learn a lesson from the blue brand in terms of bookings. Smackdown has utilized all the ladies present in their division, so well and indulged each one of them in the title picture, thus far. Paige is only 24 years old and has plenty to offer to the company and the ongoing Women's revolution.

They are programmed to be on the space location for about 6 months to go on with task dangerous testing and study.

Hitler's stormtroopers 'felt invincible because of crystal meth-style drug Pervitin'
Hitler's armies carried out their "Blitzkrieg" invasions of Poland and France while high on a version of crystal meth which kept them wide awake, feeling euphoric and invincible, says a new book about the Nazis' use of drugs during the Second World War.
In Der Totale Rausch – (Total Rush), which was published in Germany last week, Norman Ohler reveals the key strategic role of the methamphetamine-based drug, manufactured from 1937 onwards by the Nazis under the brand name of "Pervitin" and distributed among the armed forces.
The drug was marketed as a pick-up pill which was designed to combat stress and tiredness and created feelings of euphoria. "In the beginning the army didn't realise Pervitin was a drug: soldiers thought it was just like drinking coffee," explained Mr Ohler.
But the Nazi leadership was well aware of Pervitin's value as stimulant during combat. After having tried it in 1939 during the German invasion of Poland, the German army subsequently ordered 35 million tablets of Pervitin for soldiers before advancing on France in the spring of 1940.
The invasion of France shocked the world. In four days, Hitler's tanks captured more French territory than German troops had managed to secure in four years of the First World War. Pervitin helped the invading Nazis stay awake, keep going and, apparently, feel great.

Hitler secretly made the weapons of the future during the Second World War
Mr Ohler bases his findings on months of research at military archives in Germany and the United States. Historians say his revelations will change current perceptions of Germany's wartime military role; "The fact that the Blitzkrieg was a war fuelled by drugs, once again debunks the theory that the German army was clean," said German historian Hans Mommsen.
The Second World War General Erwin Rommel, the so-called "Desert Fox" is said to have consumed Pervitin as if it was his "daily bread". He was decorated by Hitler as a tank commander during the invasion of France.
Mr Ohler explains how the Nazis rejected recreational drugs such as cocaine, opium and morphine which were readily available in Germany during the 1930s and condemned them as "Jewish". The Third Reich's chemists were encouraged to find an alternative stimulant more suited to an Aryan Master Race. The Nazi chemist Fritz Hauschild came up with Pervitin.
"The Nazis wanted Pervitin to rival Coca Cola, so people took it, it worked and they were euphoric," Mr Ohler explains. To ensure that millions of German housewives on the home front were not left out, the Nazis even developed chocolates containing the drug.
The book also provides insights into the role of Hitler's personal physician, Dr Theodor Morell. The author reveals that Morell managed to conceal the fact that he was Jewish by joining the Nazi party before the war and obtaining new identity papers.
Morell is said to have made Hitler completely dependent on drugs, turning him into a virtual junkie by the time he committed suicide in his Berlin bunker in 1945. Mr Ohler gained access to Morell's notes which reveal that he gave Hitler a total of 800 injections over a period of 1,349 days.
But more telling are Ohler's revelations about Hitler's growing dependence on a drug called "Eukodal" – a pain killing narcotic with double the strength of conventional morphine. He discloses that Hitler was first given the drug before a meeting with Mussolini in 1943 at a point when Italy was considering backing out of its alliance with Nazi Germany.
After two Eukodal injections, the Nazi leader felt so good that he was able to convince Mussolini to stay with Germany for the time being.

By Sen. Paul McKinley
Amidst the news that President Obama is proposing yet another costly multi-billion dollar 'stimulus', Governor Culver's own $1.7 billion debt-laden temporary work program known as I-JOBS is again in the news – and not in a good way.
Late last week, Standard and Poor's credit rating agency flagged the bonds used to pay for Culver's program. They noted that they were being placed on it's CreditWatch list because Culver and State Treasurer Fitzgerald failed to put sufficient reserves behind the bonds. This is a serious concern.
State Auditor David Vaudt was quoted in The Des Moines Register as saying, "I think it can impact the reputation of Iowa from the standpoint of the bond market," and then went on to add that it could raise questions about Iowa's truthfulness in the future.
This is just the latest in a long saga with Culver's I-JOBS program. From the very beginning it has been controversial and unpopular and it has failed to come anywhere close to the 30,000 jobs that Governor Culver and the Culver Democrats in the Legislature promised when they rammed it through the Legislature in a partisan fashion last year. In fact, since I-JOBS was signed, over 18,000 Iowans have actually lost their jobs.
It is anything but a success.
Unfortunately, with this governor, fiscal mismanagement has become the norm rather than the exception. In four years, Iowa has had the four largest budgets in state history. As a result, we've witnessed unbalanced budgets, property tax increases amounting to $526.9 million dollars, record debt levels and higher unemployment. We simply have more government than our economy can support and Iowans are understandably frustrated.
It's clear that we do not need more of the same expensive and inefficient government temporary work programs that Obama and Culver continue to offer. What Iowans do need and what Senate Republicans are working hard to provide is a jobs climate where private sector job creation can flourish. We need reasonable taxes and regulation and we have to stop spending more money than our state takes in.
The bottom line is that job creators need confidence so they can again invest and take risks that will lead to more jobs.
Iowans are now living with the consequences of the dismal record of this governor and the Culver Democrats in the Legislature during the last four years. It's clear that record is not something Iowans can afford to repeat.
Yet through it all, there is still plenty of reason for optimism. Iowans are resilient and hardworking. They care about their communities, their neighbors and their schools. If you believe, as Senate Republicans do, that a more prosperous Iowa will come as a result of more private sector jobs, responsible and sustainable budgeting and real property tax relief, then it is time to stand with us.
Turning our state around will not be easy and it will not be accomplished overnight. But together, through hard work and with the right focus, we can begin to renew this great state and restore the assurance of a more promising tomorrow.

Southern Sweden » Kinda Tourist Office
Kinda – warm and inviting
In Kinda we are close to nature, to culture and to each other. Kinda is part of the Sommenbygd district in the province of Östergötland, on the border of Småland in southeastern Sweden, where nature and culture impart inspiration and strength. Beautiful meadows, fields and wilderness areas beckon for rambling and simple enjoyment of the great outdoors. Caves and traces of the inland ice offer exciting adventures.
The Sverigeleden trail winds its way through Kinda and is best experienced by bicycle. If you prefer hiking, the 110 km long Östgötaleden walking trail also passes through Kinda. Those of you who would prefer to enjoy Kinda on horseback will find everything from riding for beginners to advanced courses in dressage.
There are over 400 lakes – notably lakes Åsunden and Sommen – which, together with the Kinda Canal and the river Stångån, offer exciting canoeing and boating. Swim or fish in a new lake every day!
The Kinda Canal, with its 15 locks, guest harbours, canal boats and sailing clubs, is a cultural treasure, a blue ribbon running through the heart of the municipality. Cultural life – design, handicrafts, farmers markets, theatres, art and music – is vibrant throughout the year. Artisans, writers and artists will find inspiration and a peaceful work environment in Kinda. On your own or with a guide, you can discover nature reserves, ancient monuments, churches and museums. In Kisa, visit Sweden's first travel agency: the Kisa Emigrant Museum and Café Columbia dating back to the mid 19th century.
In wintertime, alpine skiing is available at one of southern Sweden's largest ski resorts, Tolvmannabacken in Kisa, or enjoy skating on any of our lakes or the Kinda Canal.
In Kinda we are committed to the development our business community. Over the years a trustworthy partnership has developed between businesses and the municipality, of which "Growing Power Kinda" is an example. Many companies are small or medium-sized and are often connected to forestry, paper or a workshop. Here you will find delightful experiences on which you will dwell at length – memories of a lifetime. Memories that will make you want to return again and again...maybe even to live in Kinda!
So, whether your goal is recreation or a new future, welcome to Kinda where we live close to each another in spiritual and intellectual harmony.

Join us as we count down our Top 10 Disney TV Shows. There were of course a few criteria. The shows on the list had to be made or produced by Disney they did not however have to air on a Disney owned channel. The shows if aired on a channel like ABC and they were not made directly by Disney then they could not be included unless the show began after the acquisition of the channel. Shows made by Marvel and Lucasfilm were allowed as long as they began after the Disney acquisition.
Our top 10 was all over the place mostly due in my opinion to the big generational gap between Steve and myself. We would love to know your thoughts on our lists as well as what your own list would be. Feel free to contact us via email with your thoughts and have it read on the show!

The war set back ROTC training with the closure of all units. Records show that products of the ROTC called to the colors in 1941, 1942 and during the occupation proved their worth in the battlefield.

Melbourne Love Vintage Show 2012
Posted by Charley Greenfield
23. May, 2012
The word vintage is often thrown around these days. To clarify, by definition clothing which was produced before the 1920s is referred to as antique, while clothing from the 1920s to 1960s is considered vintage.
The Melbourne Love Vintage Show was held in the Royal Exhibition Building last weekend. The cathedral roof and stain glass windows set the scene for the freezing cold afternoon perfectly. Women roamed the hallways with French curls; cats eye make-up and corsets. One woman I spoke to had been planning her outfit for the past three months. Her garments originating from early 1900.
Most stalls were manned by similarly passionate people, dressed to the absolute nines in authentic antique or vintage fashion that they had sourced in their travels to Europe or the States.
The stalls of note for myself were:
Vintage Style
Occupied by two gentlewomen who had been sourcing and selling vintage since their early teens. Not only were the garments, accessories and dolls mostly still adorned with their original tags or in their original boxes, the garments were exclusively American or Australian designers. They stallholders knew their stuff and were more than happy to walk me through where they had gotten each piece (amazing memories) and how it was acquired.
Contact: 0409 360 352
Chapel Street Bazaar
This stall had plenty of home-wares and children's toys. There was a 1950s rocking horse along with children's "church" shoes. The Bazaar, located in Prahan, hosts over 70 stalls with items ranging from the 1920s to modern day.
217 Chapel Street, Prahran, VIC, 3181
9529 1727
Bonnie Rose Vintage Clothing
Bonnie Rose hosted a Fashion Parade during the fair showcasing the "Best Of British" vintage styles. Her stall was one of my favourites, containing amazing lace pieces and more tulle than any girl could dream of. It was one of the busiest stalls throughout the day. I had to fight shoulder to shoulder just to get some shots.
Why Do The Ladies Love Oaks Day?
High heels, fascinators, top designer dresses: is Oaks Day all its cracked up to be?

The Netherlands is facing a substantial increase in the number of people infected with tuberculosis. Last year, nearly 1,100 patients were diagnosed with the disease, an increase of eight percent over the 2006-2008 average. According to the tuberculosis fund KNCV, eleven of these cases involved the multi-resistant variant which can no longer be treated with the two most effective drugs.
The main causes for the growing number of cases are international travel and immigration, which is why KNCV feels it is vital to continue sharing information with developing countries and emerging markets. The organisation, which published the latest data in connection with World Tuberculosis Day on 24 March, points out that because of its global nature the disease poses a reel and serious threat to the Netherlands.
The tuberculosis mortality rate in the Netherlands is fairly constant and relatively low. One in 70 of tuberculosis patients in the Netherlands dies of the disease. Scientists expect a new and effective vaccine against tuberculosis will become available in about ten years.

LG to mass produce flexible e-paper
LG debuts newspaper sized virtually paper thin flexible e-paper display
LG has decided to mass-produce a 19-inch flexible e-paper monochrome display, with a 9.7-inch e-paper colour display. The former is just about big enough to rival a real broadsheet newspaper, is just 0.3mm thick and weighs about 130g, which is light enough to hold for a while, especially for its size.
It will apparently use minimum power, requiring it only when changing display. Apart informing the SEC of its decision to put these flexible displays into production, LG has not revealed their availability or pricing yet.
The bendable 19-inch display is the largest the industry has ever produced and could eventually replace newspapers and magazines made of dead trees and ink..
No trackbacks yet.

How Corruption Influences Foreign Direct Investment: A Panel Data Study
This article analyzes the sign and development of the effect of corruption on foreign direct investment (FDI). Economic theory distinguishes grabbing hand corruption from helping hand corruption. The former suggests a negative impact of corruption on FDI, the latter one a positive effect. Empirically, we apply a data set of 21 home and 59 developed and less developed host countries covering between 1983 and 1999. To investigate the corruption impact, we employ a panel data model that particularly refers to the knowledge-capital model of multinational activity. We find a negative relationship between corruption and FDI. This, in turn, suggests that the helping hand effects of corruption are outweighed by the grabbing hand effects. Further, we observe that corruption is an important impediment of FDI in developed economies but not in less developed ones. Finally, we demonstrate that the importance of corruption has decreased over the years.
