Versace mansion headed for auction block
Thursday - 7/18/2013, 12:16am  ET
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- The South Beach, Fla., mansion once owned by Italian designer Gianni Versace and the place he was fatally shot is headed for the auction block.
Fisher Auction Company is handling the sale, set for Sept. 17. The 23,000 square-foot oceanfront mansion had been previously listed for $125 million.
Originally built in 1930, the 10-bedroom, 11-bathroom, gated home features a 54-foot long mosaic pool lined with 24-karat gold. It also includes numerous frescos, ornate statues, arched doorways and an open air courtyard.
"We are very pleased to have the opportunity to manage the sale of this one-of-a-kind property," said Lamar Fisher, President and CEO of Fisher Auction Company, who said the sale should draw prospective buyers from around the world.
In 1997, the 50-year-old Versace was killed in front of the property by a man who later committed suicide. Versace had purchased the home in 1992 and spent about $33 million renovating and adding another wing. Tourists can still routinely be spotted taking photos in front of the house.
The property had been operating as a 10-room boutique hotel for several years but closed earlier this year. A bankruptcy court has appointed Fisher Auction Company to handle the sale, in conjunction with Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate.
Versace had many famous friends including Princess Diana, Madonna, Elton John and Cher.

Galway Kinnell's "Wait"
Kate Moos, managing producer
A dear friend of mine has been suffering serious depression for several weeks, and I've been struggling with feelings of powerlessness over her pain. Mental illness, of which I have had my own personal experience, still comes with stigma, and creates fear.
My friend seems to be getting better and today I sent her this poem by Galway Kinnell, which has given me much solace over the years. "Wait, for now." the poem instructs us. "Distrust everything if you have to./ But trust the hours. Haven't they/ carried you everywhere up until now?"

[JURIST] Jail sentences were handed down Monday by Belarusian courts for more than 150 protestors who were detained by police [JURIST report] while taking part in recent election protests. Thousands of citizens gathered [JURIST report] last week to demonstrate against alleged election fraud in the March 19 presidential elections [JURIST report] in which incumbent Alexander Lukashenko [official website; BBC profile] was reelected to a third term. While the mostly young protestors received jail time for up to 15 days, opposition politician Aleksander Kozulin could face up for six years in jail on hooliganism charges.The sentences were issued without the presence of defense lawyers and irrespective of whether the accused pleaded guilty or not. The European Union [official website] has expressed serious concern [press release] about the arrests and has demanded the release of Kozulin. Opposition leader Alexander Milinkevich [Wikipedia profile] has openly criticized the detention of the protesters and has pledged to hold nationwide protests to win more public support. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] on Monday heard oral arguments on whether prisons which deny difficult inmates access to newspapers, magazines, and photographs are violating the First Amendment [text]. In the case of Beard v. Banks [Duke Law backgrounder, merit briefs], the Court focused on whether the court should regulate states in managing their inmates and whether prison officials who have denied such privileges to inmates have infringed on their First Amendment rights. Plaintiff Ronald Banks, a convicted murderer considered a security risk, sued the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections in 2001 after he was barred from reading the Christian Science Monitor newspaper in a now-closed correctional facility in Pittsburgh. Prison systems nationwide could be affected by the outcome of this case if they are required to prove that their policies serve legitimate security and rehabilitative interests. While the Bush administration favors states policing their own prisons, religious and civil liberties groups maintain that fundamental rights under the First Amendment should not be taken away at the discretion of prison officials. Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself because he ruled on the case (dissenting, holding against Banks) while serving on the Third US Circuit Court of Appeals, leaving the possibility that the high court case could end up in a tie. AP has more.Also Monday, the Court heard oral arguments in Anza v. Ideal Steel Supply [Duke Law backgrounder, merit briefs], a case in which it will decide when a company can use a federal anti-racketeering law to claim damages from a competitor's alleged fraud. Ideal has raised a charge of a violation of the RICO statute [text], alleging that National Steel Supply (owned by the Anza family) did not collect a New York sales tax from customers paying in cash which allowed it to significantly undercut Ideal's business. Since National Steel Supply mailed fraudulent sales tax reports to the State Department of Taxation and Finance, the Court will have to decide whether Ideal Steel Supply can still assert a RICO violation even though it was not the party defrauded and did not rely on the alleged fraudulent behavior.
[JURIST] The last meeting of the UN Commission on Human Rights [official website] took place in Geneva Monday, as its replacement prepares to hold its first session on June 19. The UN Human Rights Council [JURIST news archive; UN backgrounder] was brought into being by a General Assembly resolution [text] earlier this month after five months of negotiations following the UN World Summit. The Commission, created in 1946, had been sharply criticized for allowing countries with continued human rights violations to win seats and protect each other from inquiries.While originally inspired by the United States, the new Council faced objections [JURIST report] from the United States [official statement], Israel, the Marshall Islands, and Palau for not taking enough measures to prevent abusive countries from becoming members. US Ambassador Kevin Moley told the Associated Press, "The good news is that the commission is over. The bad news is that what replaces it isn't much better." The US has not announced whether it will seek election to the council. AP has more.
[JURIST] Abdul Rahman [Wikipedia profile], currently facing the death penalty [JURIST report] in Afghanistan [ JURIST news archive] for converting from Islam to Christianity, has appealed for asylum, UN spokesman Adrian Edwards said Monday. Earlier Monday, several hundred people responded to a judge's decision that the prosecution lacked sufficient evidence [JURIST report] to proceed with the case by protesting Rahman's potential release [JURIST report]. Rahman was scheduled to undergo a mental examination [Reuters report] Monday, in a move thought by some to be a quiet way for the prosecution to respond to political pressure from Western governments [JURIST report].Edwards did not mention specific countries in the statement, saying only that "Mr. Rahman has asked for asylum outside Afghanistan ... We expect this will be provided by one of the countries interested in a peaceful solution to this case." AP has more.
[JURIST] US District Judge Ivan Lemelle on Monday refused to order changes to New Orleans municipal elections [JURIST news archive] scheduled for April 22. Lemelle held a hearing [JURIST report] Monday morning to consider arguments from civil rights groups that the elections should be postponed due to the large numbers of African-American residents who have been displaced outside Louisiana due to Hurricane Katrina [JURIST news archive] and will therefore be unable to vote.Rights groups have argued that the state's displaced voters plan [Sec. of State materials] does not do enough to accommodate hurricane victims, saying the plan is equivalent to an illegal poll tax [Wikipedia backgrounder]. Though Lemelle refused to postpone the elections, he did tell both sides that they should work together to resolve problems that could prevent displaced residents from voting, noting that "there is still room for improvement in that electoral process." AP has more.
[JURIST] The US Senate Judiciary Committee [official website] on Monday softened HR 4437 [text, PDF; bill summary], the controversial immigration reform bill passed by the House [JURIST report] in December, by adopting an amendment by Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL) that would protect charitable organizations, churches and individuals providing aid to undocumented immigrants from all criminal charges. Under the House legislation, knowingly aiding an undocumented alien would be a felony. This and other hard-line provisions adopted by the House, like making the "unlawful presence" of an alien in the US a felony in itself and mandating the construction of a fence along 700 of the 2,000 miles of US-Mexican border, have sparked national protest and debate, including a 500,000 person protest in Los Angeles [JURIST report] Saturday. Anticipating a congressional showdown, President Bush called for "civil" debate [JURIST report] on the issue last week. The full Senate has yet to vote on the revised legislation. AP has more.7:15 PM ET - The Judiciary Committee has approved the full text of the amended draft immigration bill by a 12-6 vote, also rejecting a House provision that would have made "unlawful presence" of an undocumented alien in the US a felony, as opposed to the current misdemeanor. The approved bill additionally includes provisions for temporary guest workers [AP report; Kennedy press release]. It now advances to the Senate floor, although further changes are likely given that fewer than half the Republican members of the Committee voted in its favor. 7:30 PM ET - Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has praised the Committee's passage of the draft legislation and has called on Majority Leader Bill Frist to "immediately substitute this comprehensive approach for his wrongheaded bill as the full Senate begins debate tomorrow." Frist had said earlier he would bring his own stricter border security bill to the Senate floor [JURIST report] if the Judiciary Committee did not finish work on its draft by midnight Monday. Read Reid's press release.
[JURIST] The Federal Election Commission (FEC) [official website] decided in a 6-0 vote Monday to approve rules [draft text, PDF] that include subject Internet advertising to current campaign finance laws. The rules will regulate only paid advertisements on another person's website, and will not include blogs, e-mails, and other online publications. The FEC introduced [JURIST report] the proposed rules Friday in response to a federal court order [opinion text, PDF] that required the FEC to create new rules including internet advertisements in campaign financing and spending regulations.The federal campaign finance laws [FEC backgrounder] previously regulated campaign ads for federal candidates, but did not include political advertisements on the Internet. Under the new rules, political candidates must pay for internet advertisements out of funds regulated under the campaign finance laws. The laws also limit individual contributions to $2,000, and ban union and corporate donations to federal candidates. AP has more.
[JURIST] Algimantas Dailide [US DOJ press release], a retired real estate broker from the Cleveland and Gulfport FL areas, was convicted Monday in his Lithuanian hometown on charges of helping the Nazis [JURIST report] commit genocide [BBC backgrounder] against Jews in the town of Vilnius [Vilnius Ghetto backgrounder] during World War II. As a result of his conviction, Dailide faced 5-20 years in prison, but the Vilnius District Court ruled that the 85 year-old man was too frail to serve a sentence. Judge Alvyra Kvaraciejute said Dailide has not committed any crimes in the past 60 years and is no longer a threat to society. Lawyers for Dailide have 20 days to file an appeal, but it is unclear whether they will do so.Dailide is the third person convicted of Nazi war crimes since Lithuania gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. None of the three elderly men have been required to serve time in prison. Many say these convictions serve as evidence that Lithuanian officials are making attempts to follow through with their campaign [BBC report] to bring Nazi World War II war criminals to trial. AP has more.
[JURIST] AP is reporting that al Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui [JURIST news archive] has testified that he and "shoe bomber" Richard Reid [BBC profile] were meant to hijack a fifth airplane and fly it into the White House as part of the Sept. 11 attacks [JURIST news archive]. Moussaoui took the stand [JURIST report] Monday in his sentencing trial [case docket] to determine whether he will face the death penalty in connection with Sept. 11 attacks. Moussaoui pleaded guilty [JURIST report] to six conspiracy charges [indictment] last year. If the jury decides that he caused a single death on September 11, he will be eligible for the death penalty and a second phase of the trial will occur, featuring testimony by families of September 11 victims. This marks the first time Moussaoui has revealed these details and his testimony contradicts earlier statements made to the federal investigators. Moussaoui's comments about a plot with Reid, however, followed testimony that he was not the "20th hijacker" on Sept. 11 [CBS report]. Reid was arrested after attempting to detonate an explosive hidden in his shoe on a flight from Paris to Miami in December 2001, and in 2003 was sentenced to life in prison [CNN report] for attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against US nationals outside the US and interference with flight crew and attendants by using a dangerous weapon. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website] on Monday agreed to hear an appeal in Lawrence v. Florida [11th Circuit decision, PDF], concerning a challenge to rules surrounding the one-year filing deadline for making habeas corpus claims in federal court. Florida death row inmate Gary Lawrence is questioning whether the deadline is suspended while the Supreme Court reviews his petition for post-conviction review. SCOTUSBlog has more. Also Monday, the Court denied certiorari in several cases, including one involving a libel appeal by the New York Times. The libel lawsuit, New York Times v. Hatfill involves allegations by Steven Hatfill, a physician and bioterrorism expert who was labeled a "person of interest" by the FBI following the anthrax attacks following Sept. 11. Hatfill sued the Times for libel and intentional infliction of emotional distress after the newspaper published a story stating that the government's decision not to further pursue Hatfill as a suspect was the result of "poor investigation." The newspaper challenged a US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit decision [text, PDF] to allow the case to move forward, arguing that it was a frontal assault on First Amendment protections. AP has more.The Court also refused to hear Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust v. Kehoe, a case involving a Florida drivers' class action lawsuit under the Driver's Privacy Protection Act [text]. The core issue for review was whether the drivers, whose contact information was sold to a national insurance company, must prove actual damages in order to recover under the Act. Though the Court declined to review the case, in a concurrence [PDF text] from Justice Scalia, who was joined by Justice Alito, the justice noted that if the issue of whether "[the insurance company] can be held liable under the Act if it did not know that the State had failed to comply with the express consent requirement" were raised in a later petition, the Court may reconsider its decision. AP has more. Read the Court's full Order List [PDF text].
[JURIST] A UN delegation led by Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs Nicolas Michel [official profile] arrived in the south African nation of Burundi Monday to help establish a truth and reconciliation commission [BBC report] and war crimes court. According to Michel, the 5-member group will facilitate negotiations between local transition government leaders on the "necessary juridical framework" to establish the commission and special court, which will investigate allegations of genocide and crimes against humanity. Opposing political factions in the country agreed [JURIST report] to the formation of the court and commission last June in order to shed light on prevalent violence between local Hutus and Tutsis that has crippled Burundi following its 12-year civil war [Global Security backgrounder]. Burundi government spokesperson Ramadhan Karenga said Monday that the UN 5-day visit will address "legal and regulatory [issues], the competences, structures composition of the commission and the special chamber, and links between both mechanisms and the calendar of their setting up as provided by UN Resolution 1606(2005) [PDF text] of the UN Security Council." IRIN News has more.
[JURIST] Microsoft [corporate website] on Monday appealed a ruling [PDF text] from the South Korean Fair Trade Commission [official website] that the company breached antitrust laws by bundling its Windows operating system with Microsoft programs. In the decision [JURIST report] handed down in December 2005, the Commission ordered Microsoft to pay $33 million and unbundle its media player and messaging service from its Windows software. The ruling bore similarity to a 2004 European Commission antitrust ruling [PDF text; JURIST report] against Microsoft, which imposed a fine of nearly $600 million. Microsoft has said [press release]that its business practices were "consistent with Korean law and have benefited Korean consumers and the Korean technology industry." Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Zimbabwe [JURIST news archive] government on Monday announced new anti-terrorism laws that would allow the government to outlaw any group it declares to be a "foreign or international terrorist organization." The proposed Suppression of Foreign and International Terrorism Bill comes two weeks after the government arrested 15 members of the opposition party [JURIST report] Movement for Democratic Change [official web site] for possessing weapons to allegedly overthrow the government and assassinate Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe [BBC profile]. The charges were subsequently dropped [JURIST report], with officials complaining that police had bungled their investigations. The suspects were accused of having ties to the Zimbabwe Freedom Movement [manifesto], a group established for the sole purpose of overthrowing Mugabe. If passed, the new laws would proscribe fines or imprisonment for anyone who supplies information to terrorist organizations, possesses weapons for the purposes of terrorism, trains or recruits people for terrorist activities. According to a report in the Zimbabwe Independent, the laws would give the government authority to crack down on opposition and authorize its officials to monitor private telephone and electronic communications. SAPA has more.
[JURIST] The sentencing trial of Zacarias Moussaoui [JURIST news archive] on Monday enters what analysts expect to be a critical week, with testimony from Moussaoui and other key witnesses. Prosecutors concluded their case [JURIST report] for giving Moussaoui the death penalty last Thursday, during which the defense team consistently highlighted failures by the CIA and FBI to investigate Moussaoui after his arrest in August 2001. The defense is expected to introduce statements from the alleged mastermind of the September 11 terrorist attacks [JURIST news archive], Khalid Sheikh Mohammed [BBC profile], who is being held in the United States at an undisclosed location, and former CIA director George Tenet [official profile]. It is unclear yet whether Tenet will appear in person or whether the defense team will use statements from previous testimony to the Senate [text] and the 9/11 commission [text].Moussaoui himself will also testify against the wishes of his counsel, and analysts predict that his outbursts could disrupt the groundwork defense attorneys have laid in their case against the death penalty. Moussaoui pleaded guilty [JURIST report] last year to six conspiracy charges. If the jury decides that he caused a single death on September 11, he will be eligible for the death penalty and a second phase of the trial will occur, featuring testimony by families of September 11 victims. Otherwise, Moussaoui faces life in prison. AFP has more.
[JURIST] A spokesman in Nigeria for former Liberian president Charles Taylor [BBC profile] said Monday that his whereabouts are unknown, after Nigeria indicated over the weekend that Liberia could take Taylor into custody [JURIST report] to stand trial for war crimes charges [indictment]. Taylor is wanted in Sierra Leone for charges that he backed rebel leaders in exchange for diamonds and he is expected to be hiding in the southeastern Nigerian city of Calabar. The lead prosecutor against Taylor said he requested Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo [official website] to arrest Taylor before he could escape, but a spokesperson for Obasanjo said that no such request had been received.The UN-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) [official website] on Sunday called on the Nigerian government to hand Taylor over [JURIST report] before he flees Calabar, but Obasanjo's spokesman said the president is not aware of Taylor's location and will respond if he receives a formal request by the prosecutor for his capture. Taylor fled Liberia in 2003 as part of a deal to end the country's 14-year civil war [Global Security backgrounder] which affected several countries including Sierra Leone. Reuters has more.4:41 PM ET - According to information from former SCSL Chief of Investigations Alan White received by JURIST late Monday, the word from West Africa is that Taylor has left Calabar and could be heading to Equatorial Guinea or the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Benjamin Yeaten, former director of Liberia's Special Security Service [Global Security backgrounder] under Taylor, spends time. White suggests Nigeria will blame Taylor's departure on Liberia's failure to arrest him in a timely manner.6:10 PM ET - The US Monday urged Nigeria to hand Taylor over to Liberia for trial. A State Department spokesman said [briefing transcript]:
He needs to be brought to justice. We've made that clear. I understand that the international court, as well as the Nigerian Government and the Liberian Government, are working on the modalities of the handover of Charles Taylor to see that he faces justice. It is incumbent upon the Nigerian Government now to see that he is conveyed to the international court. Obviously, we have talked to President Obasanjo about this...Right now we have made clear both in public and in private to the Nigerians that it is their responsibility to see that he is able to be conveyed and face justice, so that would be the Nigerian Government's responsibility. I know that he is in Nigeria at the current time. I can't tell you what his current status is, where in the country he may find himself.
[JURIST] Several hundred people led by Islamic clerics protested in Afghanistan Monday against the suggested release of a man who converted from Islam to Christianity. The religious leaders called for Abdul Rahman [Wikipedia profile] to be tried under Islamic sharia law [CFR backgrounder] which imposes the death penalty for anyone guilty of apostasy, or "abandonment of the faith." The protests were prompted by reports from Afghan officials Sunday which indicated that Rahman may be freed after a judge ruled there was not sufficient evidence to proceed [JURIST report] in the case against the convert.Meanwhile, the lead prosecutor in the case against Rahman [JURIST report] said he will undergo a mental examination [Reuters report] Monday, and analysts believe the charges will be dropped if he is found to be mentally unstable. Rahman has denied any mental issues but Afghan authorities may be seeking a quiet way to abandon the case amidst political pressure from Western governments [JURIST report] to release him. AP has more; from the Middle East, Aljazeera has local coverage.
[JURIST] US District Judge Ivan Lemelle will hold a hearing Monday to hear arguments from civil rights groups that the upcoming April 22 municipal elections in New Orleans [JURIST news archive] should be postponed because many African-American residents have been displaced outside Louisiana due to Hurricane Katrina [JURIST news archive] and will be unable to vote. Lemelle has already dismissed a challenge to the election plan, but agreed to reconsider his ruling to determine if the scheduled election [JURIST report], which was originally slated to take place on February 4, should be postponed again. The state has taken steps to set up polling stations in 10 Louisiana cities, relax voting rules allowing displaced citizens to vote by absentee ballot, and support advertisements to inform displaced voters of the upcoming elections.The NAACP [advocacy website] and other civil rights leaders have argued against the plan [JURIST report], saying it involves the equivalent of an illegal poll tax [Wikipedia backgrounder] since many displaced black voters will need to pay for transportation costs in order to make it back to Louisiana to cast their ballots. Approximately 43,000 registered voters have indicated that they are now living outside the state and current Louisiana law does not allow out-of-state voting operations. Earlier this month, the US Justice Department invoked its authority under the 1965 Voting Rights Act [DOJ backgrounder] to approve the elections [JURIST report] as scheduled for April 22. The Louisiana Secretary of State [official website] has information on the displaced voters plan. AP has more.

Eh. American pairs makes this real easy and it's always easy to toss around the prediction that a team will split up, because people notice when you're right and shrug it off when you're wrong, because it's not that they haven't split, it's that they haven't split yet.
The hard thing to do is predicting which teams will have a bad season and then stick together.

111 Lf Human Rights Practicum Students will apply their developing knowledge of human rights issues in the Occupied Palestinian Territories by designing and implementing a civic engagement project. Possible projects include (1) a public forum to raise awareness of the current state of affairs in the Palestinian Territories, the toll on human life, especially related to health impacts, and how the international community can better envision a non-violent resolution; (2) creation of a blog site to raise awareness, build support, and allow people to share opinions; and (3) lobbying efforts at the state and national level to educate legislators on the complexity of the situation in Israel and Palestine, and to take steps to create constructive dialogue on meaningful political and social responses. Nongraded. Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in International Studies 111. One credit hour. CARLSON
211j Human Rights and Social Struggles in Global Perspective Human rights have become one of the primary frameworks for understanding justice and injustice in the world. Explores the rise of human rights and its relationship to struggles for social justice. Considers the experience of victims of abuse and the politics of meaning and representation. Interrogates the validity of claims for the universality of human rights in the face of cultural difference and inequalities of power. Looks at the emergence of a global human rights machinery and the ethics of humanitarian intervention. Prerequisite: Anthropology 112 and sophomore or higher standing. Three credit hours. RAZSA
214s Economic Policy and Performance in Contemporary Latin America Listed as Economics 214. Prerequisite: Economics 133 and 134. Four credit hours. I. FRANKO

397f Internationalism: From Socialism to the World Social Forum Since the founding of the International Workingmen's Association in 1864, radical political struggles have adopted a staggering array of organizational forms. Many of these forms were developed in the hope that they would foster international rather than national loyalties. International solidarity has, nonetheless, often dissolved in the face of national antagonisms, most famously in the trenches of World War I. We will first consider the historical genealogy of today's international social movements. Case studies may include indigenous rights, People's Global Action, the World Social Forum, transnational advocacy networks and anarchist-inspired movements. Four credit hours. RAZSA
[435] Seminar: Memory and Politics Listed as Government 435. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. Four credit hours.
437s Media, Culture, and the Political Imagination Due largely to a surge of work by political filmmakers--from Michael Moore to Al Gore--documentary film has reentered theaters and the popular consciousness after decades of neglect. The prominence of the political within this resurgence should come as no surprise to those familiar with the history of nonfiction film. Drawing on literature from cinema studies, visual anthropology, political theory, and social history, traces the development of the documentary from the early 20th century. Interrogates evolving notions of political community and their relationship to formal, aesthetic, and collaborative innovation within the documentary tradition from colonialism to grassroots globalization. Prerequisite: Anthropology 112 and senior standing. Four credit hours. RAZSA
451f Ethnicity, Nationalism, and the State in Europe Though the modern nation-state was unknown prior to the 18th century, life outside the framework of nation-states is now hard to imagine. Critically reviews social scientific theories of ethnicity, nationalism, and the state. Examines dynamics of state formation, ethnic conflict, and nationalist revival. Also considers the transformation of European politics through globalization, migration, and integration. Formerly offered as International Studies 397. Prerequisite: Anthropology 112, one other course on Europe, and senior standing. Four credit hours. RAZSA
483f, 484s Honors in International Studies A year-long research project for senior majors, resulting in a written thesis to be publicly presented and defended. Prerequisite: A 3.40 grade point average and permission of the advisory committee. Four credit hours. FACULTY

Resort Living Around Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head Island and Bluffton, SC, are well known internationally for top-notch residential, resort and short-term rental condominiums. The custom for decades has been to call all condominiums "villas". So don't let these two terms confuse you. Villas are condominiums. Condominiums are villas. Condos are villas ... you get the point. Some are flats. Others are townhouses. And some are one-level attached residences.
The Benefits of Investing in a Vacation Home
A popular practice on Hilton Head Island is to purchase a villa and then rent it out on the short-term vacation rental market. The purpose for these owners is to have a vacation home that also produces income and tax advantages for them. To learn more about this aspect of villa ownership, click here.
Buying Villas/Condominiums in the Hilton Head Area

CINCO de Mayo or the French Intervention in Mexico
On May 5th, many cities of the US are alive with color, laughter and dancing. Millions of Mexicans and Americans of Mexican origin are celebrating Cinco de Mayo or the Fifth of May. It is an occasion which Mexicans and Americans share to emphasize the friendship between their two countries.
The holiday originated with a surprising battle. In 1861, France, England and Spain sent ships to Mexico to settle a debt. Within a few months, an agreement was reached and the British and Spanish navy set sail toward home. But the French ships, by order of Napoleon III, began an attack.
On May 5, 1862, 6000 soldiers under the commander of the French forces tried to capture the forts of Loreto and Guadalupe in Puebla de Los Angeles, Mexico. Two thousand Mexican men, led by General Ignacio Zaragoza, fought back hard and held the fort. Although smaller in number, the Mexican army won this battle but they did not win the war. The French conquered the country, and in 1864, a European emperor was put on the Mexican throne. Three years later, after a reign filled with problems, the emperor was deposed and killed.
Even during the short period of French rule, the Mexicans celebrated Cinco de Mayo. They changed the name of the town where the French were defeated to Puebla de Zaragoza.
Today Americans participate in activities organized for Cinco de Mayo .
The Batalla de Puebla or Battle of Puebla on May 5th
, symbolizes the Mexican resistance and determination to retain their independence. Cinco de Mayo has come to symbolize a commitment to fight even when the odds seem insurmountable. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated on a much larger scale in the United States than in Mexico.
In Los Angeles, the celebration takes place in the streets outside City Hall where Mexican orchestras and local bands play Mexican patriotic songs. The streets are colored in green, white and red - the colors of the Mexican flag. Young boys are proud to be seen in Mexican clothing and girls wear red and green ruffled dresses with wide skirts. Famous musicians play popular and familiar tunes on their guitars while dancers spin around and click their castanets. A temporary stage at the steps of City Hall is decorated with a picture of General Zaragoza, flanked by Mexican and American flags. Mexican dignitaries are guests of honor, pleased to hear the mayor of Los Angeles making a speech in Spanish. Later, celebrants stroll through the streets to the old section of the city. Others go to city parks where sports events, dances and picnics featuring Mexican food are taking place.
Mexican Independence Day - September 16
Every year, September 16 is celebrated in commemoration of Mexico's first proclamation of independence from Spain in 1810. In that year, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a pastor in the town of Dolores, in the state of Guanajuato, prepared the people in his area for rebellion against Spanish rule. On September 16, Hidalgo and his colleagues proclaimed the rebellion in their famous el Grito de Dolores, (the cry of Dolores). With this insurrection, the Spanish withdrew their forces from the frontier presidios. It was not until 1821, however, that Mexico acquired its independence from Spain.

The $7.5 million grant funds five years of research into creating high-speed, state of the art UAVs capable of handling aerodynamic disturbances and armed with extreme maneuverability.
"UAVs are currently not reaching their full flying potential," Tedrake says. "They're flying conservatively, like large planes. We want to create a UAV that can fly through a crowded environment and fly well despite complicated air flow."
The MURI brings together seven principal investigators working in the fields of biology, machine vision, planning and control and UAVs, led by Tedrake. Team members include: Emilio Frazzoli (MIT), William Freeman (MIT), J. Andrew Bagnell (CMU), Andrew Biewener (Harvard), Martial Hebert (CMU), Yann LeCun (NYU) and David Lentink (Wageningen University).
Researchers are aiming to develop a UAV with a 24-inch wingspan, capable of flying between 5 and 15 meters per second, navigating dense urban and natural environments and perching like a bird. The project will draw from Tedrake's work with both fixed and flap-winged UAVs, and with perching gliders.
"The control tools developed in the Robot Locomotion Group are well-suited to this problem, and will showcase the types of control design we do here," Tedrake says.
The UAV, which will be modeled, in part, on the results of extensive study into bird flight, will be a wingeron plane, meaning that the plane's wings will be able to rotate fully for maximum maneuverability.
Researchers at CSAIL will be focused on building the actual planes and designing the machine's control system, which will utilize Freeman's work with image deblurring, allowing the plane's vision-based control system to distinguish obstacles and targets while traveling at high speeds.

Spurs vs. Warriors: The Morning After
Box Score | Advanced Stats | GameFlow
The Golden State Warriors had history against them on Monday night as they played the San Antonio Spurs, who have not lost a game at home to the Warriors since 1997.
The Spurs kept the streak alive and are now 45-7 against the Warriors in the Duncan era with a 111-96 thrashing of the Golden State Warriors.
Duncan, who went down with a left ankle injury midway through the first quarter and will be out for the next two weeks, left the game with one rebounds shy of passing Dennis Rodman for 21st on the All-Time NBA rebounding list.
With Duncan out, Tiago Splitter contributed with eight points and six rebounds in the first quarter. His contribution, along with 12 first-quarter points form Manu Ginobili, gave the Spurs a 32 to 21 lead at the end of the first quarter.
With Matt Bonner's outside shot drawing iron, the Spurs relied on Ginobili, Steve Novak and Gary Neal to keep the foot on the accelerator against the Warriors to finish off the first half. Normally a high-scoring duo, starting guards Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry were limited to a combined 2 points in the first half, and watched the Spurs go into the lockerroom with a nine-point lead, 54-45.
The Spurs went on a 18-5 run in the third quarter, led by Tony Parker, George Hill and Steve Novak, who hit two three-pointers during the run. Ellis and Curry tried to get the Warriors back into the game in the fourth quarter, but their 27-25 lead in the fourth quarter wasn't enough and didn't come early enough.
Manu Ginobili led both teams in scoring with 28 points. Tony Parker finished with 17 points and 15 assists, and Tiago Splitter made his presence felt with 10 points and 14 rebounds.
"Today (Splitter) had a very good game. In the first half, he played a couple one-on-ones, he passed the ball very well," Ginobili said about Splitter's contribution with Tim Duncan out. "As I said probably a million times, he's a good player, he understands the game, he's solid, reliable. He just has to be out there and feel confident and know that the team trusts him. That's what happened to me, what happened to everyone that comes here for the first time, so he's going to give us a big hand."
The Spurs are now 57-13 on the season, are 33-3 at home and are seven games ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers, which at this point seems to be an insurmountable lead with just 12 games remaining on the schedule for the Spurs.

Publication: theday.com
Norwich — Catholics attending Mass at the Cathedral of St. Patrick on the day Pope Benedict XVI made history by retiring from his post praised him for his courage in facing reality that he no longer could bear the heavy burden of office.
Others called it "a sad day" that the pope they have known for nearly eight years is stepping down.
The Most Rev. Michael Cote, bishop of Norwich, admitted he is still "stunned" that Benedict has become the first pope in 600 years to step down as world leader of the Catholic Church rather than die in office.
"Today in many ways feels even more stunning than when we first heard the news of the Holy Father, Pope Benedict's resignation," Cote said in a written statement to The Day. "Today, he will be leaving Rome, and this evening at the appointed hour, he will no longer be Pope. Stunning. Pope Benedict's writings, homilies and initiatives were about love, charity, faith, justice and peace. A deep and lasting legacy."
Three poster boards with photos, postcards and prayer cards of Pope Benedict stood in the St. Patrick's Cathedral entrance with the heading: "Well done, Good and Faithful Servant."
Father Joseph Tito of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Baltic celebrated the noon Mass Thursday at St. Patrick's, where several dozen attendees sat amid the scaffolding of a major renovation project to celebrate Mass.
"Benedict described the church as Jesus Christ passing through time," Tito said during his brief sermon.
"He is now devoting his life to prayer," Tito said of Benedict, now called pope emeritus.
"I think it was the right decision at the right time," said Bob Spayne, who regularly attends the noon Mass with his wife, Patricia Spayne.
Patricia Spayne recalled how lightning struck the Vatican dome the very night Benedict announced his plans to retire on Feb. 12. She wondered whether that was just ironic or "divine intervention."
The Spaynes said they "never" expected to experience the retirement of a pope.
"It's sad because the church won't have a leader for a little while," 9-year-old Maggie Pohlman, of Gales Ferry, said, "and the church needs a leader."
Jamie Pohlman brought her four young children to Mass Thursday. She home-schools the children at what Maggie called "Angelica Academy." Pohlman said the pope's retirement is especially poignant for her family, because they are recent converts to Catholicism, and Benedict is the only pope they have known.
Asked what they would like to see in a new pope, 12-year-old Jakob Pohlman offered a surprising answer.
"I want to see the return of the Latin Mass," the avid Latin student said.
Joe McMaster of Lebanon said he was impressed with the pope's decision, calling it consistent with his personality.
"He's capable and responsible," McMaster said. "It sets a good precedent for the future for popes."
Bishop Cote, too, looked to the future in the thoughts he expressed Thursday.
"Today, we now look forward to a new shepherd guiding the Church forward into the future," he said in the statement. "I join all parishioners in the diocese as we pray for the soon to be elected pope. These are challenging times yes ... but times of enormous opportunity for leadership and faith renewal. We go forward with hope and confidence."
Unless Congress and the White House act, $85 billion in automatic federal spending cuts will take effect Friday. Are you worried about the impact sequestration will have on you?

using Virtualbox or similar program to salvage operating system
hi, I use ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop pc and i have on my laptop installed Windows XP with Office 2007. The office suite has been activated for the third and last time, because windows crashed on me twice before, prompting my move to linux. while this third activation of office is still working i was wondering if there was some way to salvage this activation, so i don't lose it should it fail, which it most likely will at some point in the future. i was thinking if there was a software that could copy an already installed operating system and turn it into a virtual machine. That software would of course have to run in an windows environment.
I know i can use openoffice, and i do. Its great to get things done quickly, but my college course is specific to office 2007, and i have to memorise the interface to be able to write up procedures from memory.
I'm not sure but xp is probably very hardware specific so as long as i run that virtual machine on my laptop with a linux distro i should be fine.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this query, in which case if someone could please direct me to where i should be posting this i would be very grateful.

this won't work, windows doesn't let you move to new hardware, even if the hardware is only virtual, it will break the system
you can use a software like clonezilla to take an image backup of your machine should you need to restore it
also, most of the time, when you use up your activations you can call customer support and they will take care of it

I was going to use the virtual machine on the same hardware, only on a linux distro and using virtualbox.
I don't think Microsoft would be too keen to help in this case other than to suggest i buy another office suite.
I have considered Clonezilla, but i posted here to make sure there were indeed other ways.

doesn't matter, virtualization software works by abstracting out the actual underlying hardware, so windows will see this as a new machine
moving it between virtualbox installs once installed in VM wouldn't be an issue

Precisely what I do. I run Windows, Office, Visual Studio, et al on a VirtualBox VM, which I can move around as desired. The virtual machine looks like the same hardware to the OS, so it won't think you have installed it on a new machine. So, I would suggest that you contact MS tech support and explain that your system is failing and you need to install on new "hardware" and that they need to authorize a new activation for the OS and other MS products you "own".
Anyway, this is the primary reason why I have migrated just about all of my applications off of Windows and on to Linux - the fact that I don't really own the software, but really just "rent" it from MS. Not acceptable to me. If I cannot move it to new systems as needed, then why am I paying them all that $$?Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

Thirty companies paid no U.S. income tax 2008-2010: report
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Thirty large and profitable U.S. corporations paid no income taxes in 2008 through 2010, said a study on Thursday that arrives as Congress faces rising demands for tax reform but seems unable or unwilling to act.
Pepco Holdings Inc, a Washington, D.C.-area power company, had the lowest effective tax rate, at negative 57.6 percent, among the 280 Fortune 500 companies studied.
The statutory U.S. corporate income tax rate is 35 percent, one of the highest in the world; but over the 2008-2010 period, very few of the companies studied paid it, said the report.
The average effective tax rate for the companies over the period was 18.5 percent, said Citizens for Tax Justice and the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, both think tanks.
Their report also listed General Electric Co, Paccar Inc, PG&E Corp, Computer Sciences Corp, Boeing Co and NiSource Inc as among the 30 that paid no taxes.
(For a related graphic, click on r.reuters.com/ryb84s).
Corporations will say rightly that the loopholes that let them slash their taxes were perfectly legal, the report said.
"But that does not mean that low-tax corporations bear no responsibility ... The laws were not enacted in a vacuum; they were adopted in response to relentless corporate lobbying, threats and campaign support," the report said.
Some of the 30 companies disputed the report's findings.
A Pepco spokesman said it "pays all its required taxes."
Boeing paid its taxes "between 2008-2010 ... Our effective income tax rate was 26.5 percent, 22.9 percent, 33.6 percent in 2010, 2009, 2008," said a spokesman for the aerospace group.
As Congress and the Obama administration struggle with a sluggish economy and high deficits, corporations are pressing Capitol Hill for more tax breaks and a lower corporate rate.
Taxes are on the agenda of the congressional "super committee" tasked with finding at least $1.2 trillion in additional budget savings by November 23, but it is so far deadlocked across a familiar divide -- Republicans refusing any tax increases, Democrats defending social programs.
On Tuesday, a panel of budget experts warned super committee members they would fail the country if they did not meet their goal. Financial markets have been waiting for many months for signs that Washington can get its financial house in order, but few have been forthcoming.
The report referred back to the 1986 tax reform pushed through by President Ronald Reagan, a Republican, who approved the largest corporate tax increase in U.S. history, largely by ending tax breaks, while cutting individual tax rates.
"Reagan solved the problem by sweeping away corporate tax loopholes," said the report, which was coauthored by Citizens for Tax Justice chief Robert McIntyre. His research 25 years ago played a key role in convincing Reagan reform was needed.
The industrial machinery business enjoyed the lowest effective tax rate during the study period, while the highest rate was paid by healthcare companies, the report said.
"Big Business is getting away with taxation murder," said Frank Knapp, vice chairman of the American Sustainable Business Council, a progressive business coalition.
"They pay little or no taxes on massive U.S. profits and then have the gall to lobby for ... a tax holiday to 'repatriate' profits they have stashed offshore."
What are some of the tax breaks that corporations enjoy? One big one is accelerated depreciation that lets them write off equipment faster than it actually wears out. Deductions on executive stock options help. So do tax breaks for research and development and for making products in the United States instead of overseas. Offshore tax shelters play a role, too.
Power group Duke Energy Corp was one of the 30 companies listed as paying no income taxes in 2008-2010.
Chief Executive James Rogers told Reuters that Duke cut its taxes thanks to accelerated depreciation, which he said helped the company build new plants and hire construction workers.
Rogers is a frequent spokesman for a coalition of large multinationals seeking a tax break that would let them bring foreign profits into the United States at a reduced tax rate.
Others among the 30 companies included power producer American Electric Power Co Inc (AEP), chemicals company DuPont and toymaker Mattel Inc.
Like Duke, AEP said it benefited from accelerated depreciation. A Mattel spokesperson said the report's claims were inconsistent with the company's public financial filings.
"DuPont complies with all tax laws and regulations in every jurisdiction in which it operates," said a DuPont spokeswoman.
The average effective corporate tax rate, as calculated by McIntyre's group, was about 14 percent before the Reagan reforms; afterward it shot up to 26.5 percent in 1988.
As companies found their way around the reforms, the effective rate fell back to about 17 percent by 2002-2003.
Unlike in Reagan's time, taming corporate tax breaks alone will not solve the deficit problem. Such breaks cost the government about $102 billion in lost revenues in 2011, a year when the federal deficit was an estimated $1.3 trillion.
Corporate loopholes are dwarfed by tax breaks that benefit individuals, such as the mortgage interest tax deduction -- a middle class sacred cow, on its own worth $104 billion.
Still, said the report: "If we are going to get our nation's fiscal house in order, increasing corporate income taxes should play an important role."
(Additional reporting by Matt Daily, Ernest Scheyder, Dhanya Skariachan in New York; Kyle Peterson in Chicago, editing by Gerald E. McCormick)
1. 53% do not pay INCOME taxes, but they do pay FICA, sales, gas, local, etc.
2. This 53% do not make enough money to pay income taxes, while this are large and VERY profitable corporations.
Plus the flat tax is a simple idea for simple minds, in actuality it would help out the rich/big corporations MORE then the current tax code.
Ok now that I had to waste 5 mins. dispelling that whole myth/lie, back to point of article….
Is not it obvious that we need serious tax loophole reform? What you have to ask yourselves is why we have not had it? IMO, the answer can be attributed to the money and politics and the influence oft he Grover Norquist's of the world. Implement serious campaign finance reform and anti-lobbying laws. Congress does not represent the people, they represent the money right now.
These companies don't pay the stated tax rate because of tax deductions and credits. If Congress were to get rid of these tax expenditures they could lower the rate in a revenue-neutral manner. These changes will create a more transparent and simpler tax code that encourages companies to develop and create jobs in the U.S. instead of another, less consumer-driven country. http://eng.am/mTCnZw
Think about it this way. A business goes to the hardware store (U.S. Government) to buy a hammer but with $35 price tag thought it was too costly, decided not to buy it, and started looking for a cheaper option. What the business doesn't know is that when at the checkout the hardware store would have given them a credit reducing the price to $25 which the business would have been willing to pay. If the store had just put the $25 tag on the item in the first place the company wouldn't have hesitated to buy it.
Unfortunately our corporate tax code is designed exactly like the hardware store's pricing system instead of being straightforward. If we don't reform the corporate system then businesses will continue to overlook investing in America because they are scared of our uncompetitive tax rates like the $35 hammer.
