Mecklenburg prosecutors on Monday dismissed charges against six men arrested after a daytime shootout at a car stereo store where rapper Waka Flocka Flame had been talking to fans and getting his picture taken.
One man suffered a gunshot wound in the February shooting that drew widespread attention because of the rapper's fame and his previous scrapes with violence and the law.
The rapper's publicist said the shooting started after several men tried to rob Waka Flocka Flame of his jewelry.
But prosecutors have little to go on, they said, because none of the witnesses identified who was responsible for the shooting. They also said there was no evidence of an attempted robbery.
"We didn't have enough evidence to prosecute any of them," District Attorney Andrew Murray told the Observer. "The defendants are still in custody. That's why we need to dismiss the charges now.
"I'm not thrilled about having to dismiss these charges. Some of these guys have felony records."
It's the second time in less than a week that Murray, who took office in January, has announced he was dropping charges in a high-profile case. On Thursday, Murray dropped a murder charge against a former nurse anesthetist who'd been accused of killing a high school classmate while monitoring the woman's recovery after cosmetic surgery.
In the rapper case, prosecutors dropped charges of attempted armed robbery, conspiracy and discharging a weapon into occupied property were dismissed against six men, whom police believed were involved in the shootout at the Car Stereo Warehouse on Independence Boulevard.
Waka Flocka Flame's given name is Juaquin Malphurs. The 24-year-old rapper has been the target of robberies before, according to his MySpace page, which says he was shot at an Atlanta car wash during an alleged robbery attempt in January 2010. The rapper has also faced charges of drug and weapons possession and criminal street activity, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
In dismissal papers filed late Monday, prosecutors included a two-page description of the Charlotte shootout and an explanation of why they dropped the charges.
"There has been no identification by any alleged victim or witness of any of the six defendants as being present and/or firing a weapon during the incident," the court papers say.
The only evidence placing any defendant at the scene, prosecutors said, were statements from the defendants who agreed to speak with detectives after their arrest.
"Although many details of the incident differ, these defendants were in agreement that no one who went to this stereo store had any intent to rob anyone," prosecutors wrote. "They said their intent was to 'chill,' 'hang out,' or 'holler at' the rap artist.
"They are also in agreement that if anyone who was with them fired a weapon, it was only because a person or persons associated with (the) rap artist fired at them first."
Prosecutors said according to Waka Flocka Flame's brother - the victim of the alleged offense - there was no demand for property and no display of any firearm, until he himself felt threatened and pulled a gun. The brother is not named in the papers.
"Thinking that something was going to happen is no evidence that these crimes occurred," prosecutors wrote.
The Feb.16 shootout happened after Waka Flocka Flame brought his tour bus from Atlanta to the Charlotte stereo store to have its sound system upgraded.
Police were called to the store at 4:16 p.m. about shots being fired. Once police arrived, they found the rapper and his brother in the bathroom of the store. They also said they found a handgun in a bathroom trash can, and located several 9mm and 45-caliber shell casings near the tour bus and street. There was bullet damage to both the tour bus and the stereo store.
Waka Flocka Flame's brother told police he was outside the bus when an SUV and another vehicle pulled up. Three men got out of the SUV and approached "in a way that he felt threatened causing him to feel something might be going to happen," the dismissal papers say.
Murray told the Observer the rapper's brother was wearing more than $100,000 worth of jewelry around his neck.
The brother, prosecutors say, "saw no weapon displayed nor was there any demand made for any money. He then pulled a 9 mm handgun he had concealed on his person and held it in a position as if ready to fire."
The rapper's brother told police that someone then shot at him.
A security guard for the rap artist was on the tour bus and heard the shots.
"He came off the bus (and) he fired at someone he saw firing a gun," prosecutors say.
The two vehicles then drove away.
Police developed Antonio Stukes and Xavier Hoover as suspects when both showed up at a local hospital in a vehicle matching the description of one of the suspect vehicles, according to the dismissal papers. Stukes was treated for a gunshot wound.
Police charged Stukes and Hoover. But the rapper's brother and security guard could not identify either suspect from photo lineups, prosecutors said.
Stukes' attorney said his client wasn't trying to rob the rapper.
"He was an innocent bystander who only went there to talk to Mr. Waka about getting a record deal," Adam Seifer told the Observer.
Four other men - David Bellamy, Antoine Washington, Berry Lawrence and Andre Sellers - also were charged in the shootout.
But prosecutors said Monday they believe that had the defendants been put on trial, a judge would dismiss the charges for lack of evidence.

Win pushes Mickelson into OWGR's top 10
Phil Mickelson has returned to the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking after winning the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Mickelson rose 12 spots to No. 10 in this week's edition of the OWGR.
Brandt Snedeker, who finished second to Mickelson at TPC Scottsdale, continued to rise in the OWGR. His runner-up finish moved him from seventh to a career-high No. 6 in the ranking. He began the year ranked 10th, but has finished in the top 3 in three of four starts this year. The WMPO was his second consecutive runner-up finish.
Scott Piercy shot a final-round 61 to finish third in Phoenix. That finish allowed him to rise to a career-high 37th in the ranking.
Stephen Gallacher's win at the Dubai Desert Classic may allow him to sneak into the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. He rose from 111th to 60th in the OWGR after his second career European Tour win. The top 64 available players as of Feb. 11 will get in the field.

High-level Officials Visit Water Expansion Projects
Addis Ababa, 29 April 2014 (WIC) - High-level officials including Water, Irrigation and Energy Minister visited ongoing clean water expansion projects being undertaken in the capital, Addis Ababa, aiming to ease water shortage in the city.
The Minister Alemayehu Tegenu said the projects; being carried out at a cost of over six billion Birr will enable to solve the water shortage in the city.
His Ministry is striving to solve problems related with clean water supply through various mechanisms, including expansion projects and fighting maladministration in this area, the Minister said.
The water shortage in Addis Ababa has been caused because of natural reasons, said City Water and Sewerage Authority Head, Awoke Hailemariam.
The Authority has been working to solve the shortage by undertaking short and long term projects.
Two of the expansion projects at Akaki area will commence operation in September and December 2014, each will produce 70,000 cubic meter water per day.
The Ten water wells sinking in Legedadi area, each with a capacity to produce 40,000 cubic meter water a day will also play vital role in solving the shortage, he said.

Kaleidoscope is the ultimate in user interface customization for the Macintosh, letting you switch between completely different interface designs provided by plug-in modules called "Schemes".
Here are two of the schemes included with Kaleidoscope, designed by Arlo Rose, formerly of Apple's Human Interface Design Center:
If you want something less elaborate, Kaleidoscope also comes with several schemes loosely based on the shapes and layout of standard Apple platinum interface, but with creative new colors:
Or for a more conventional interface, Kaleidoscope can make your Mac look like it is running a different operating system, or even another version of the Mac OS:
But that's not all. There are several THOUSAND other third party schemes available from our Kaleidoscope Scheme Archive.
Kaleidoscope is compatible with all versions of the Mac OS ranging from System 7 through Mac OS 9.1. Under Mac OS 8 and later, it takes advantage of the Appearance Manager, so that any Appearance-savvy application automatically uses Kaleidoscope's interface. Kaleidoscope fully supports the new interface features introduced in Mac OS 8.5, including 32-bit icons, proportional scroll bars, window proxy icons, and sound, and Kaleidoscope does not suffer from those annoying black and white menus that plague Mac OS 8.5.
Kaleidoscope is shareware. You can download a fully functional version of Kaleidoscope from this site, and you are welcome to try it out free of charge. However, if you use it for more than a couple of weeks, we ask that you pay a $20 registration fee. The payments are handed by Kagi, a payment processing service. You can either register online by credit card using the links on this site, or you can send a cash, check, or credit card payment by mail or e-mail to Kagi. Kaleidoscope comes with a "Register" application that creates a customized registration form to send with your payment. Once you register, Kagi will send you instructions to remove the shareware reminder message that Kaleidoscope puts up at startup.

erm....BETT would have been the ideal place for you to go. It was last week!!
Our School is planning to replace our old computers from ICT suite and from classrooms. Headteacher and business manager are so concerned about the ICT infrastructure as we are going to get the suitable and updated hardware for pupils' learning and progression in Schools. And also if there are any more advancements in terms of hardware tools so we can have it too.
If anyone know anything about any events, conferences or meetings. Please do let me know.

erm....BETT would have been the ideal place for you to go. It was last week!!
Thanks Fiza,
I checked last week it was all about curriculum and it had nothing to do with ICT infrastructure and hardware. I have email different bodies if they can provide me with any information. Thanks anyway... but do let me know if you hear anything.
You just missed BETT show but many suppliers will be listed on website. Probably hard to suggest much without more info:
How big a school ? How many pupils? What KS? What type of network do you have speed, age, switching,etc? Do you have managed Wifi?
IMHO I would say slates are too expensive for schools in terms of life expectancy and management costs so desktops would still be my first choice but if you are a big school you could factor some mobile device in the mix. You could also keep you old harware and update Ram and OS or convert to thin client. If you post more info I am sure the community can give endless advice support!
Does your LEA provide any support?
[Merged threads: please don't post the same thing across the separate forums]
I did check their website but couldn't find anything about ICT hardware progression. I have dropped them an email. Let see what do they say.
I would suggest Lenovo have some nice SFF PCs and the best W8 Slates that I saw but seems like you might want to ask the teachers how they want to work with ICT. Maybe visit a few schools and see what they do and poach best ideas. We are a large primary and you would be welcome to come and visit and talk to the staff.
I missed BETT then if everyone is saying that there was a lot about hardware infrastructure. Does any one know when is next conference or exhibition from BETT?
We are a medium School and using Server 2008 with mixed environment of XP and Windows 7. We want to upgrade our infrastructure but headteacher and business manager have few concerns about hardware that what hardware is recommended at the moment by different educational bodies. We want to have upgraded ICT hardware in our School to provide suitable and updated learning environment to pupils.
The next BETT show will be next January, however there will be an EduGeek conference this year there's no hard details yet.
I'd suggest visiting local schools if they're happy to let you do so, and see what people in a similar situation are doing.
Apart from that, thinking about what you want to achieve is the best place to start.
Do you want BYOD? - wireless and filtering are probably the first place to start
VDI, etc? - Server side investment is important
I think really an audit of your current state (including back end hardware, switching) and evaluating the weak points is your jumping off point. I know your head and business manager are probably gonna want toys, but without the infrastructure to support them you'll be setting yourself up to fail.
Just my 50pence worth ;-)
strange - last post appears twice "updated" ?
+1 for Domino Just typed my thoughts faster than me!
What age group? How many client devices? Most LEA have less knowledge than most Techs as they dont spend their lives installing, deplying, rebooting, repairing, updating....etc.
Most schools mostly use standard or SFF desktops as they last a long time ( some of ours are from last millenium but still run W7 and Office 2010 fine)Tier 1 manufacturers ( Lenovo, Dell, HP etc) are sometimes better than component builders (but in any case get a 5yr warranty if you can). That said, I have recently had some machines built by redcap who have a nice desktop stand that hides all the cables away . They will build what you want and their sevice is amazing - they are still providing components even though the warranty ran out a year ago! Contrast that with 10 netbooks from Zoostorm who could not care less when they all diedafter 12 months.
Make sure your network is in good condition and well set up and we went for a single image accross our 220 clients so anyone can go anywhere and find the same desktop but that may not be what your school needs.

-are everything, even when you're in middle school. She has done this before, but with the kid markers we used, they sadly didn't make it through the first Fall rain shower with designs intact. We learned our lesson. Here's how Emma made this new pair custom shoes-
You need a pair of white canvas shoes. Emma and Ian almost always wear Vans, and these are the classic white slip-on style.
Sand the canvas lightly all over with sandpaper (I believe this removes the sizing or surface protection).
Lightly sketch your design with pencil. In our case, that would be dragons.
Using a combination of fabric markers and craft paint, Emma applied the design. We were advised not to use Sharpie markers (which is in abundance around here) because the ink bleeds and doesn't leave a clean line.
Allow to dry overnight. Touch up and reapply where necessary. I would advise leaving as little white as possible, just because it keeps them from appearing dirty too soon (but I'm a mom, I think that way).
When completely dry, spray the surface with any sort of suede or shoe protector spray. We did 2 coats.
Schoolhouse Craft is a week from Friday. Will I see you there? I hope so, cause I'm not tweezing these eyebrows for just anybody.

Made in China (Part 2): The Factory We Didn't Really LikeTuesday, May 28, 2013
Fabule Fabrications visited a number of factories during our participation in HAXLR8R, a hardware startup accelerator based in Shenzhen, China. During a three-month period we designed and prototyped a cute and deeply adaptable lamp, lining up component sources and manufacturers as a part of this process. Emerging from this program, we'd like to share some of our experiences visiting various factories and learning how many of our everyday things get made. This is the second in a series of posts on this topic, and it's about a factory that we decided not to work with, partly because we weren't fully comfortable with working conditions. (Our first post brought us to Jetta, who makes Makerbots, Furbies, and other consumer products.)
Jetta was a pretty high end factory, with indicators of pretty good working conditions. Here I'll be presenting some photos and notes from a lasercutting factory that actually made us a little bit uncomfortable. We decided we wouldn't be working with them because we weren't entirely happy with the working conditions, though the products they made looked pretty good, used sophisticated techniques, and were absurdly inexpensive.
I'm not going to name-and-shame the specific factory, because I think there are a lot of operations very much like it around Shenzhen, and singling out just one won't do much good. I believe that a more productive way to engage with factory labor practices is for more people to develop good judgment about who to work with and who to avoid, how to spot out good vs. bad workplaces, and so on. We'd read Lisa Fetterman's guidelines before coming to China, which is a great starting point for entrepreneurs. But we still came into the program almost implicitly expecting a "bad" factory to look like something out of a Dickens novel, or perhaps an Orwellian dystopia (maybe because we've read too many sensationalist horror stories about Foxconn). The absence of obvious Dickensian oppression, however, doesn't mean everything is a-OK in the factory. This is why we thought it was useful to provide an example of not-so-great working conditions and describe exactly how we judged the factory to be not-so-great.
There were two portions of the factory that we took in on our tour. The first thing we saw was a sort of workshop-setting, just one big room where a few people were working with a huge, high-powered metal-cutting laser. It was pretty cluttered and ad-hoc, with some of the guys actually climbing onto the bed of the laser cutter to lay out the material, and piles of scrap around the room. This alone probably wouldn't have put us off entirely, because it had a workshop feel rather than a factory feel, where the "just get it done" way of working didn't feel totally out of place.
Adjusting a work piece on the jumbo laser cutter bed.
Laser cut aluminum scraps.
We then visited another portion of the factory that primarily cut acrylic. This was much larger and more what we'd expect from a factory rather than a workshop, with assembly lines and workstations. We saw the worker dormitories on our way in, which looked a bit shabbier than average from what we'd seen.
Worker dormitories.
There were laser-cutters for cutting out or etching pieces, as well as equipment for post-processing like bending, drilling and stenciling the cut pieces. This was where we started to have misgivings, pretty much as soon as I smelled the laser-cutting room. Cutting the acrylic generated some strong-smelling fumes, which are no good for your health, especially if you're breathing them on a daily basis. The ventilation wasn't great and we didn't see anyone wearing effective filtering masks. All the cutting took place with the laser-cutter lids open. We'd seen this before in smaller workshops, but in those cases there was also a cross-breeze that wasn't present here.
This smelled more interesting than it looked. Alas, it doesn't really come across in a photo.
We also saw some people doing post-processing of laser-cut acrylic quilting guides. These has some print and graphics screen-printed on them. This was another room that had a smell, but no particular ventilation and no face-masks.
Screen printing some labels onto the laser cut piece. No mask or special ventilation, but kind of solvent-smelly.
These ended up being piecing guides for quilters.
On some issues, you just have to use your spidey-sense to infer some things. Lisa's MAKE article suggested that it's hard to confirm whether workers get regular breaks except by observing whether you actually see some workers taking breaks. In our case, we were a little bothered to see a lot of the line workers taking their lunch at their work station, suggesting that they didn't have any other space to be on break. It was a bit of a subtle thing: if you're looking for workers who seem completely miserable you'll probably be disappointed. These line workers were convivial with each other, joking around while waiting to clock out. But we didn't think that the absence of abject misery made the working conditions totally OK.
Line workers clocking out for lunch. They were conversing and laughing.
Line workers eating at their work stations. A sign that they don't have a break area away from the factory floor.
There are surely worse working conditions to be found, both in China and elsewhere… probably even in the States. Most of the factories we visited around Shenzhen were actually pretty good. These aren't workers in debt slavery or anything of that sort, and they're free to find another job when they want to. In fact, pretty much every factory manager we talked to said there were more jobs than workers locally, and that people left all the time for jobs they found more appealing. A job market that favors worker mobility probably does have a positive effect on working conditions, though it could still just achieve an equilibrium of tolerable-but-not-great conditions. A really big, multi-million dollar client can make demands on a factory to improve working conditions, and it's been suggested that Apple has been doing exactly that at Foxconn. But many, perhaps even most big corporations will be disinclined to demand changes that might increase their costs. We saw a large pile of boxes at this factory addressed to Walmart in the US.
Ready to ship to Walmart in the US.
Because small companies like us can't throw our weight around (losing a $10-50,000 client wouldn't be that big of a deal) all we can do is vote with our feet. As more and more small businesses and hardware entrepreneurs come to China to get their stuff manufactured, we can hope that all of us together might achieve some influence, but the kind of time and organization that would require probably puts it a few years out. Any efforts to vet factories and to organize and communicate our experiences to each other would be a positive step in that direction.
Many thanks to Silvia Lindtner, who took some of the photos. Her spidey-sense corroborated ours, in fact, she'd been on a few more factory visits than we had at that point, so her judgments helped us a lot.

Plug In to Design
A Helpful Assortment of Applications
By Gretchen A. Peck
Part 2 of 3
Designers utilize plug-ins for a variety of reasons, whether to enlarge images, create 3D or CAD effects, nesting, and more. Below we include comments from vendors and designers regarding important plug-ins compatible with leading software from Adobe Systems Incorporated.
According to David Macy, senior product manager, Illustrator, Adobe, �a few plug-ins to look at are CADtools from Hot Door, which adds CAD types of functionality to Adobe Illustrator; MAPublisher from Avenza Systems, Inc., which is used by a lot of cartographers; Artlandia, Inc.�s SymmetryWorks for creating repeating patterns; and Astute Graphics Ltd.�s Phantasm CS, which adds a number of great effects and productivity enhancements.�
Eric Schneider, owner, Optixa Gallery & Studio�a custom photography, interactive design, and creative consultancy based in Raleigh�says that creative tools like Adobe Photoshop are essential, but working in the large format realm calls for software additions that other creative professionals might not need.
�Alien Skin Software, LLC has some great tools, like Blow Up 2,� he suggests. �I also find Autodesk, Inc.�s Maya 3D software to be indispensable. It allows me to show a customer what their installation is going to look like, right in the virtual space with simulated lighting, so we can identify any problems long before we even print�for example, columns or other obstructions,� explains Schneider.
He also cites Apple Inc.�s Aperture as a great tool for content management. �When you�re managing a lot of jobs and images, you need help keeping track of content,� he proposes.
�We use a special Adobe Photoshop plug-in�onOne Software�s Genuine Fractals,� notes David Steinberg, systems specialist, INTRIGUE Design, Ltd.�a full-service creative studio based in Melville, NY that provides photographic and design services. �It�s perfect for scaling up files for large format output,� he shares.
Application Rundown
Alien Skin Blow Up 2 enlarges images using an innovative algorithm that temporarily converts pixels to a vector representation, resulting in perfectly smooth, crisp edges. Simulated texture and film grain keep photos looking natural even in extreme enlargements. Blow Up even cleans JPEG compression artifacts from a low-quality Web image. Nearly every color space is supported, including grayscale, duotone, RGB, CMYK, and lab. All bit depths are supported, including 16-bits/channel�for raw images, and 32-bits/channel�for HDR images.
Apple�s content management program, Aperture�now in version three�allows users to multi-task as soon as files are imported. The program grabs data such as shutter speed, aperture, lens, and focus points, and sorts immediately. For extra flexibility, Aperture allows users to store images directly in Aperture 3, on external drives, or in original folders. Import RAW and JPEG images together or as separate images. Organize by faces, places, and anyway you want. Compare images side by side and make adjustments. Dozens of ready-to-use adjustment presets allow for professional-style imaging effects to a single photo or across an entire project. Quick Fix presets take care of common problems including blown highlights and low contrast. Other adjustment presets apply processing techniques and styles, such as a toy or vintage camera look.
Artlandia�s SymmetryWorks is a plug-in for making repeat patterns in Adobe Illustrator. The program enables designed motif to hot-linked to the pattern. Edit the motif and the pattern rebuilds instantly. All the necessary rotations, reflections, and other transformations are automatically applied behind the scenes.
Astute Graphics offers image enhancement applications with its Phantasm CS program. Color adjustment tools�curves, levels, hue/saturation�work directly in an Illustrator document on all embedded vector objects and images. Creative tools include vector halftones and duotones. Print production previews feature quick and full separations and ink coverage. Embedded image editing and linking is also available.
Autodesk�s Maya 3D software offers artists an end-to-end creative workflow with comprehensive tools for 3D animation, modeling, simulation, visual effects, rendering, matchmoving, and compositing. Newly available for the Mac OS X 64-bit operating system, Maya 2011 delivers a revitalized user interface, enhanced viewport interaction, new 3D editorial capabilities, integrated color management, and improved character animation.
MAPublisher from Avenza transforms Adobe Illustrator into powerful map making software. Features include import and export of all major GIS data formats, such as ESRI shapefiles and geodatabases with all attributes and georeferencing intact; geospatial PDF export; MAP Web Author Flash export; automated labeling; and MAP Stylesheets.
Hot Door�s CADtools Amaze adds CAD functionality to Adobe Illustrator. Draw in any scale, edit, and dimension artwork with a click, and numerically control objects or points. Click and drag with 67 tools to make design work easy and elegant. Features include snap to handy 2D or isometric grids; measure area, perimeter, and length along curves; create customized labels with text, numbers, alphabet, or object geometry; and create scaled offsets for paths and objects.
onOne Software also offers an image resizing program, Genuine Fractals. It increases image size over 1,000 percent without the loss of sharpness or detail. Users can eliminate edge halos, crop and resize images in one easy step, all while maintaining fine image detail.

What makes the Premier League so compelling for football fans worldwide?
They tell us it's the pace and passion as well as the fact that any team can beat any other on its day. Premier League fans love the atmosphere in the stadium and the spirit on the pitch. Unfair play, time wasting and diving is not the part of the Premier League ethos.
To further promote and protect all that makes the Premier League so engaging, we launched GET ON WITH THE GAME as a reminder to players, coaches, managers and match officials of their personal and shared responsibility to live up to Premier League standards. The initiative acts as a means to further positive relationships between all involved.
In short, GET ON is about playing to win by playing fairly. It's about always treating match officials, opponents, teammates and fans with the utmost respect.
It doesn't stop when the referee blows for full time. We take the GET ON ethos into everything we do – onto the training pitches and into Academies where young people learn their football fundamentals, as well as into the thousands of different Premier League projects delivered in schools and communities.
GET ON has been a success to date, with the number of cautions awarded for dissent being reduced significantly over the years. Another example of the positive progress is that there was a 30% drop in incidents of simulation in the 2013/14 season.
Achievements have been made based on the principle of building relationships. To introduce the aims of the campaign at the start of each season, the chairmen, manager and captains of each Premier League Club sign a charter of commitment to the objectives of the campaign.
Another successful element has been the process of the Club captains exchanging teamsheets with the referee an hour before kick-off. This has created meaningful dialogue between the match officials and the captains, allowing specific issues to be discussed in a rational manner away from the heat of the action, and with captains strongly encouraged to raise any questions and engage in a discussion with the Match Officials.
Other elements that make up part of the programme include a GET ON flag being introduced prior to each match as well as a fair play handshake between all players and Match Officials involved in a match.
A popular kids website is also available at kids.getonwiththegame.com, which uses lessons learnt on the pitch in the Barclays Premier League to engage and educate children on a range of social and emotional issues both in football and everyday life.

A hob is a type of small mythological household spirit found in the north and midlands of England, but especially on the Anglo-Scottish border, according to traditional folklore of those regions. They could live inside the house or outdoors. They are said to work in farmyards and thus could be helpful, however if offended they could become nuisances. The usual way to dispose of a hob was to give them a set of new clothing, the receiving of which would make the creature leave forever. It could however be impossible to get rid of the worst hobs. A famous hob called the hobthrust lived near Runswick Bay in a hobhole, and was said to be able to cure whooping cough. As well as the brownie, another cognate exists in the Scandinavian tomte or nisse; all of which are thought to be derived from the household gods of olden times, known in England as the cofgodas of which the brownie and hob are indeed a survival. In Moldovan Gypsy folklore a correlate of the hob was the "Goblin". They also lived inside or outside, worked incredibly fast and hard and could make plants grow quickly. These abilities combined with their supernatural strength and speed made them invaluable to farmers lucky enough to be on their good side. There existed no folklore regarding a negative interaction with clothing except that these creatures considered the clothes of mankind to be inferior to their own.

Internal Revenue Service:
Challenges Remain in Combating Abusive Tax Shelters
GAO-04-104T: Published: Oct 21, 2003. Publicly Released: Oct 21, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9039
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Recent scandals involving corporations, company executives, and accounting, law, and investment banking firms heightened awareness of abusive tax shelters and highlighted the importance of the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) addressing them. During 1999, Treasury issued a report indicating that abusive shelters were a large and growing problem, involving billions of dollars of tax reductions. Treasury was concerned that abusive shelters could ultimately undermine the integrity of the voluntary compliance tax system. GAO's statement today is based on work done at the request of the Chairman and the Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Committee on Finance to examine IRS's strategy for dealing with abusive tax shelters. In reporting on abusive shelters, GAO is describing (1) their nature and scope; (2) IRS's strategy and enforcement mechanisms to combat them and the performance goals and measures IRS uses to track its major effort in that area; and (3) the decision-making process IRS used and the plans it has to devote more resources to addressing abusive shelters.
By their nature, abusive tax shelters are varied, complex, and difficult to detect and measure. Abusive shelters manipulate many parts of the tax code or regulations and may involve steps to hide the transaction within a tax return. In recent years, IRS has been accumulating information about them and, although it does not have a reliable measure of the size of the abusive shelter problem, has come to believe that abusive shelters deserve substantially increased attention. IRS continues to gather more information to better define the scope of the problem and has data sources, all with their own limitations, that suggest abusive tax shelters total tens of billions of dollars of potential tax losses over about a decade. IRS's broad-based strategy for addressing abusive shelters included: (1) targeting promoters to head off the proliferation of shelters; (2) making efforts to deter, detect, and resolve abuse; (3) offering inducements to individuals and businesses to disclose their use of questionable tax practices; and (4) using performance indicators to measure outputs and some outcomes and intending to go down the path it has started and develop long-term performance goals and measures linked to those goals. Without these latter elements, Congress would find gauging IRS's progress difficult. In allocating resources to shelters, IRS used a systematic decision-making process that relied on admittedly limited information. It planned to shift significant resources in fiscal years 2003 and 2004 to address abusive shelters but faces challenges, especially in the near term, in addressing abusive shelters due to a growing workload and limited information on how long it takes to examine shelter cases. IRS's understanding of how many staff will be needed to address the problem over what period will continue to evolve as it gains a better understanding of the problem's scope.

Well, it's 5pm here in Finland, and from right from the morning until afternoon I was so hungry! Ate something every couple of hours and still felt hungry in between. But now, before we had dinner I had a funny feeling, not really nausea, but just not wanting to eat. And I've been so tired!

After getting engaged, I started having "cold feet". Now all i do is find reasons why I don't/shouldn't be with him.....Yet, I can't let go of him. Part of me really doesn't want to break up with him but a part of me feels stuck or something. I've had many reasons come up why I don't want to be...confused2112 26-30, F 10 Answers 2 Nov 18, 2013 in Marriage
