Unprecedented surge in online tax scams raises questions about TurboTax
Jonnelle Marte, Craig Timberg Il y a 5 heuresWhen Jeff Parish signed on to his TurboTax account recently, he was surprised to see that the popular online filing service had already calculated a federal refund — to the tune of more than $5,000. But there was a problem. The 61-year-old marketing executive from Fairfax County, Va., was just starting the process of filing his taxes, not finishing it. Somebody had broken into his account, completed a fraudulent return and diverted Parish's refund to a prepaid debit card.Read full article >>

Supreme Court justices split in key challenge to Obamacare subsidies
Robert BarnesSupreme Court justices split along ideological lines Wednesday in a dramatic but collegial showdown in the latest legal battle over the Affordable Care Act, with the outcome difficult to predict.If President Obama could draw hope from the 1 hour and 25 minutes of debate about his signature domestic achievement, it would be because of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy. Three years ago, Kennedy was among the four dissenters who would have found the entire act unconstitutional. But Wednesday, with his comments and questions seeming to cut both ways, he appeared to be back in play.Read full article >>

Editorial BoardHILLARY RODHAM CLINTON has served as first lady, a senator from New York and secretary of state. She is no newcomer to the corridors of power.

Opening statements made in Boston Marathon bombing trial
Masha GessenThe lawyers in the Boston Marathon bombing trial made their opening statements Wednesday morning and told the jury what they will be arguing about. It's not whether Dzhokhar Tsarnaev brought a bomb to Boylston Street in Boston on April 15, 2013, and set it off. Both sides agree that he did. It is whether he and his brother, Tamerlan, were equal partners in the crime, as the government believes, or whether Dzhokhar followed his brother, who exercised an extreme sort of influence over him, as the defense is arguing.Read full article >>

National Gallery?s Art Around the Corner program harnesses D.C. students? creativity
Leon Harris Il y a 27 minutesWASHINGTON (WJLA) – While Washington's youngsters live close by, many have never been to an art museum. A program at the National Gallery of Art is finding innovative ways to teach D.C. Public Schools students real-life lessons. The staff members of the museum's Art Around the Corner are this week's Harris' Heroes. The students come to study art, but also to learn critical thinking skills that will help them in both school and life. Beneath a Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington, they discuss the day's theme: leadership. Using a method developed at Harvard University called "artful thinking," the kids learn to observe, describe and reason with evidence. "We can learn a lot of things from the past," said student Kristain Jackson. "The paintings—they tell stories, lots more stories," said student Raven Towns. One routine encourages children to "see, think, wonder," wherever they are. Before the majestic Shaw Memorial, they act out what members of an African-American regiment might have felt going into a Civil War battle. "I think that we will be victorious!" a boy exclaimed. "I feel proud of myself," a girl said. With Art Around the Corner, every child can be successful. "They may be struggling readers, but here at the gallery, we can teach everyone to read a painting," said program manager Sara Mark Lesk. Students write poetry, act out scenes, sketch and paint—and something more. "Sometimes, when we come here, we can connect to what we do at school," said student Semiaja Cooper. "It makes me connect with my life, what's happening in my life," said student Taneal Wilson. Students learn positive lessons for a lifetime. "They are not afraid to make mistakes," said fifth-grade teacher Tondra Odom-Owens. "They don't feel that their ideas are not important." "I have seen behaviors curtailed," she added. Over the past 20 years, Art Around the Corner has served more than 5,000 D.C. Public Schools students. The National Gallery of Art program also invites students' families to special "Family Day" events, so students can share their art experience.
Mayor Bowser to attend SXSW despite budget cuts
Chris PapstWASHINGTON (WJLA) – D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser will attend this year's South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas—despite her administration drastically cutting the budget for the District's marketing efforts there. D.C.'s 2016 budget is projected to have a $250 million deficit, and some are now questioning how important SXSW is, if some of the funding for it was cut. SXSW is a technology and entertainment festival, the purpose of which is to allow cities to market themselves and recruit jobs and businesses to the area. Former Mayor Vincent Gray had budgeted $475,000 to hire the nonprofit Washington, D.C. Economic Partnership to represent the city. But when Bowser came into office, that amount came under scrutiny, given the city's poor financial outlook. So, Mayor Bowser cut the funding down to $350,000 and recently announced she will attend the event. "We are allocating money to priorities. And, obviously, thinking about a creative economy, thinking about the growing technology sector is a priority," said Brian Kenner of D.C. Planning and Economic Development. "We were able to negotiate cutting out some additional money that was gonna go there, which will go to other priorities that we have. But we still think we're gonna get just as much bang for our buck." Mayor Bowser will head to Austin on March 13. The District will be represented at SXSW until March 17. _______ Follow 7 On Your Side Investigative Reporter Chris Papst on Twitter: @ChrisPapst.
Tough Lady Terps prepare for first-ever Big 10 tourney
Tim Brant, Alex ParkerCOLLEGE PARK, Md. (WJLA) – The Lady Terps have won 21 straight games. "On scale of one to 10, we're at a 100 right now," said University of Maryland guard Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, referring to the team's confidence level. And Wednesday, the team tried to beat Mother Nature—leaving town a day early—en route to their first-ever Big 10 conference tournament. "It's our first time in the Big 10 tournament, so have fun, but know that there's a bull's-eye on [our] back, but we've got to be ourselves. We've got to play Maryland basketball," said Terps center Brionna Jones. Maryland was thrilled after capping off its perfect 18-0 run through the Big 10 during the regular season. But enough about that. "It's 0-0. Everybody's record is the same. It's a clean slate. So, for us, we've got to play even better," said head coach Brenda Frese. Frese has set the bar very high: A national championship in 2006, another Final Four last year. And these Terps will settle for nothing less. Said guard Lexie Brown: "You could have the best season in your life, but if you don't come ready to play at any time in March, you could be out and your whole season of accomplishments does not even matter."

Woodbridge teen arrested, accused of aiding ISIL
Tom RousseyWOODBRIDGE, Va. (WJLA) – ABC News has confirmed that a 17-year-old Prince William County high school student has been accused of helping ISIL. The Osbourn Park High School student was taken into custody on Friday when the FBI raided his family's Woodbridge townhome. He is accused of using internet contacts to help someone get to Syria to fight for ISIL. ABC confirmed a Washington Post report that said the teen is charged as a juvenile, but federal prosecutors are trying to have him charged as an adult. An Osbourne Park High student, whose family asked ABC7 not to identify him, said the teen talked about his support for ISIL while at school. "He said he really believes what they're doing is right," the student said. "I'm just like, that's really scary." The student told ABC7 he had suspected the teen was an extremist in the past, but thought he'd stopped his involvement. ABC7 received a statement from Prince William County Public Schools that read, in part: "We can say that PWCS has not been advised of any threat to the safety of students, employees, or our schools related to issues raised by this reported arrest."
Crystal City BID hosts underground cycling races as winter rages on
Jay Korff Il y a 2 heuresARLINGTON, Va. (WJLA) – During the winter, many of us are trapped inside, only getting exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike. But one competitive cycling community decided enough is enough. A long, hard winter in the D.C. region forced area athletes to compete in an unexpected environment Wednesday. "I don't know about you, but I'm so ready for spring; I'm so tired of this weather," said Angie Fox, the president and CEO of the Crystal City Business Improvement District (BID). "We all have that cabin fever sense, right?" The Crystal City BID transformed the bottom level of a parking garage into a subterranean race course. "Because it's a perfectly natural thing to do a bicycle race in a parking garage," Fox said, laughing. Winter-weary cyclists sick of slick, snow-covered roads were thrilled to test their fitness level underground. "It's not even safe to ride outside," said cyclist Faisal Kamdar. "You don't have to worry about wind, you don't have to worry about the cold." The course, shorter than a kilometer, complete with nearly a dozen turns, wasn't exactly ideal. But it sure beats the above-ground alternative this time of year. "Some of these corners'll sneak up on you a little bit," said cyclist Pete von Loewe. "Gosh, it was really fun to see someone put something like this together in the dead of winter." The races, called the Wednesday Night Spins, will continue every Wednesday through the end of March.
Va. State Police re-launch Drive to Save Lives program after several troopers struck
Jeff GoldbergDALE CITY, Va. (WJLA) – Following a month in which several state troopers in Virginia were struck by the side of the road, Virginia State Police are placing an urgent call to drivers to use caution. VSP is re-launching the Drive to Save Lives program, asking drivers to move over or slow down when they encounter police, first responders, and tow truck drivers attending to vehicles on the shoulder of busy roads and highways. Last Tuesday afternoon, Trooper Mike Campbell's cruiser was in good shape when he pulled a car over on I-66 West. Then, an oncoming vehicle hit the cruiser, which hit the other car, knocking Campbell into the highway. "It just happened so fast that I found myself on the ground. My brain was in overdrive just trying to process what happened," he said. "Kind of a scary experience. Lucky to be standing here talking with you." Situations like these are exactly what Virginia State Police want to avoid. Trooper Mike McSellers is one of three troopers struck during a one-week span last month in Northern Virginia. All three survived. "Feb. 17, for me, was a regular work day. That moment, that day could have ended my life," Trooper McSellers said. Last year, 14 VSP troopers were hit and injured on the side of the road. And on Dec. 29, a tow truck driver was struck and killed while attending to an abandoned vehicle on I-495 in Fairfax County. These are the stories authorities want drivers to remember as they head out on the roads, especially with bad weather on the way.
Truck crew says carsickness led to $4.8M heist of gold bars
The Associated Press, ABC NewsWILSON, N.C. (AP) - The crew of a truck carrying a load of gold bars had just pulled off the interstate in North Carolina when, the two men told police, a seemingly ordinary episode of carsickness turned into a multimillion-dollar heist. Three days later, authorities said they were suspicious that Sunday's roadside robbery might have been an inside job. As soon as the guards stopped on the shoulder because one of them wasn't feeling well, three robbers drove up in a cargo van and confronted them at gunpoint, yelling "Policia!" and ordering the crew to lie on the ground. The robbers tied their hands behind their backs and marched them into nearby woods, authorities said. The thieves then set out orange traffic cones while they gathered up 275 pounds of gold bars worth $4.8 million and fled, leaving the two guards stranded along Interstate 95 as drivers zoomed by. On Wednesday, authorities released search warrants in which detectives raised questions about the initial accounts of the heist. "The fact that the truck was robbed immediately upon pulling over at an unannounced stop is suspicious in and of itself," one of the warrants stated, adding that the truck had no external markings indicating the cargo. The warrant said the suspects tried to steal the truck but could not get it started, indicating they did not know how to operate a commercial truck. At a news conference, Wilson County Sheriff Calvin Woodard said the guards were still considered victims, not suspects, but that all possibilities were being investigated. Asked to elaborate on the warrants that were filed the day after the heist, the sheriff said the documents were written in a hurry before the victims, who spoke little English, could be thoroughly interviewed in Spanish. The strange scene unfolded around dusk Sunday in a rural area about 50 miles east of Raleigh. Earlier in the day, the guards had stopped for gas in Dillon, South Carolina, near the North Carolina line. As they kept driving, one of them started to feel sick and said he smelled gas, Woodard said. However, after deputies arrived, a mechanic found no problems with the truck, the sheriff said. The guards got out of the tractor-trailer without their guns, according to the sheriff, who said it was a company security violation to leave the truck without their weapons. Woodard said that the robbers cut a padlock, but there were no other security measures to stop them. When the robbers were gone, the guards drew the attention of startled motorists, several of whom called 911 to report seeing uniformed men running into the highway with their hands bound, motioning for help. "They've got their hands zip-tied behind their backs, and they're out in the road to try to flag people down to call the police," one caller said. The caller described the scene to the dispatcher and waited in his car for at least 12 minutes for officers to arrive, according to recordings released by Wilson County authorities. The man told the dispatcher he did not feel safe leaving his vehicle. One of the guards can be heard trying to relate details though his window. The heist happened hours after the truck left Miami for a town south of Boston. Neither guard was injured, according to their employer, Miami-based Transvalue Inc., which specializes in transporting cash, precious metals, gems and jewelry. A Transvalue spokeswoman declined to comment. The company has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Warrants identify the owner of the cargo as Republic Metals Corp. of Opa-locka, Fla. An attorney for the company did not return a telephone call seeking comment late Wednesday. A woman who saw the guards walking into the road with their hands tied did not feel safe stopping. "It's dark. It's raining, and they're walking in the middle of the road," she said. "I didn't know what to do."

Company charges Dumfries woman nearly $13K to remove squirrels from her attic that weren?t there
Horace HolmesDUMFRIES, Va. (WJLA) – After being told she had a squirrel problem in her attic, a Dumfries woman contacted 7 On Your Side for help. What could it be in Brigette Merrit's attic? "Last night, there [were] noises up there," she said. "I thought it was a human being." The noises, she says, were so loud, so unnerving that she called in a company called Summit Environmental Solutions to get to the bottom of things. A company representative came to take a look and told her there were remnants of squirrels. Squirrels in the attic could pose a real problem, but in Merrit's neighborhood, most of the trees are spread out and bare. She says she has never seen a squirrel where she lives. "No, I don't even know what one looks like," she said. Summit Environmental Solutions told Merrit it would get rid of every squirrel up there and stop any more from coming in—for $12,910. The company offered a $2,000 senior citizen discount. "I said, 'Oh, it costs that much?' I just have to pay it," Merrit said. So, she signed the contract and wrote Summit a $3,200 deposit check. "That's an awful lot of money," she said. Merrit's neighbor, Pete Bignotti, convinced her to call in two more exterminators for another opinion. She agreed, and 7 On Your Side was there when Bill Trefrey of My Exterminator said there was no evidence of squirrels in her attic. "I'm not seeing any nesting material. I'm not seeing any chewing," he said. So, Merrit called Summit back to cancel the contract—after the cancellation deadline. The company refused to refund her $3,200. "That's when I called 7 On Your Side; somebody's gotta help this lady," Bignotti said. 7 On Your Side talked to the owner of Summit Environmental Solutions. Legally, he didn't have to do anything. But because we called, he agreed to climb into the attic and take a look for himself. Nothing was found. Summit then agreed to cancel its contract and sent Merrit a check for the full amount of her deposit. Several exterminators said the wind or a small mouse could've caused the noises Merrit heard.

Montgomery County delays opening athletic fields due to winter weather
Caroline TuckerCHEVY CHASE, Md. (WJLA) – Harsh winter weather has created treacherous conditions throughout athletic fields at Montgomery County Parks. There is ice, standing water and plenty of snow. It has forced the Montgomery County Department of Parks to delay the opening date of those fields. "This year it was kind of easy to make the call early, given the cold temperatures and the amount of snowfall we have had. We knew there was no chance we could have the fields ready by March 15 this year," said Montgomery County Parks Director Michael Riley. The tentative opening is now set for April 1. Riley said last spring the opening date wasn't delayed, but decided on a day-by-day basis, which did not make some sports leagues happy. So, this season, he said, they decided to look at the conditions and delay the opening ahead of time. The Montgomery County Department of Recreation has taken a look at the schedule, but does not think the delay will affect teams signed up to play. "We don't start our soccer program until the 8th, so we have seven days to hope and pray that the weather is good," said Montgomery County Recreation Supervisor Jewell Lyons. One soccer captain said he can't wait to get onto the fields, but is not worried about the delay. "Montgomery County is actually really good at taking care of and prepping the fields for soccer," the captain said. Montgomery County Parks will monitor the conditions and update its website with new information. "We will revisit the overall picture in the middle of March and let people know whether we can have them ready in April or not," said Riley.
Requests to 'spread out' vaccination schedule now on the rise
Liz BonisCINCINNATI (Sinclair) -- In addition to parents "opting out" of vaccinations for children, a report released from the American Academy of Pediatrics says that another dangerous trend is also on the rise. Many pediatricians are now being asked to "spread out" the recommended vaccine schedule, and doctors at Cincinnati Children's Hospital say this is not a good idea. The vaccination schedule for children is generally set up around "well child checks." That way kids get what they need for protection and parents aren't running to the doctor's office more often than needed. Dr. Robert Frenck is a pediatric infectious diseases specialist who says research shows it's safe to give multiple vaccines on a schedule at each visit, and if a new one is added to the schedule, it too is tested alongside the others. "So we know before the vaccine has ever been licensed that it's okay to give with the other vaccines," said Dr. Frenck. According to the new report, nearly 9 out of 10 pediatricians have recently been asked to spread out the vaccine schedule, especially when parents had kids who were not yet 2-years-old. Most were concerned about side effects not supported by research such as autism or an overload to the body's immune system. So if a parent has concerns though about giving multiple shots at one time, what's the harm in spacing that out? "Our immune system can handle tons of antigens at one time," said Dr. Frenck. "So really there's no science to show that the vaccines overload the immune system." Antigens are substances that produce an immune response in the body. Dr. Frenck points out that while we know which ones are safe to give together, "...we don't know what's gonna happen if we split the vaccines and people give them at different times." He says research also shows that most often when kids don't follow the schedule, they won't finish the vaccines needed, putting themselves and others at risk for childhood diseases. "When it comes to spacing of vaccines, that's different from what the FDA, the CDC or the AAP would recommend," said Dr. Frenck. "There's no data to suggest it's necessary, or a good thing to do." Most of the pediatricians surveyed in this report said they did try and explain to parents why the schedule is important, but many said they went out of their way to accommodate parents' wishes and tried to build trust and understanding along the way.

Affidavit reveals alleged communication between State Dept. counterterrorism director and Va. cop posing as 14-year-old girl
Tom RousseyWASHINGTON (WJLA) – A court affidavit obtained by ABC7 provides new details about events leading to the arrest of the State Department's counterterrorism director. Daniel Rosen is charged with soliciting a juvenile. He allegedly tried to arrange a meeting to have sexual intercourse with a Fairfax County Police detective posing as a 14-year-old girl. An affidavit in support of a search warrant for Rosen's iPhone indicates he came to police's attention this past November. That was after undercover Detective Jeanette Wagner posted an advertisement on an internet website that read: "No School!!!! Mon and Tues are teacher workdays!!! My parents will be at work, come entertain me. :) Ask my real age if interested... ;)" The document says Rosen, who lives in Northwest Washington, responded in an email: "I'd love to, if you like older guys. Sane and clean 40yo WM in DC. How old are you? Xx D." The 44-year-old Rosen allegedly attached a picture he'd taken of himself in "business attire" using a mirror. The affidavit says the detective responded: "I'm 14. Interested?" The affidavit says Rosen then asked to switch to a "popular social networking app" that sends real-time images. The detective was unable to provide real-time images, so Rosen ended the communication. The document goes on to say that on Dec. 5, 2014, Detective Wagner posted another undercover ad to the same internet website she'd used before. The married Rosen allegedly responded to that ad by writing, in part: "Happy to get a hotel room today to play, or I can host. Sane and clean and know what I'm doing. No drama, she's out of town." He again attached an image. The detective did not respond at that time. Then in February, she contacted Rosen, sending him photos of a Fairfax County Police officer posing as a 14-year old girl. The affidavit says Rosen asked for a live camera image, and it was provided. The affidavit says Rosen was still very hesitant and wanted proof he was texting a 14-year-old. It says after one requested "proof" was provided, Rosen stated: "Good. Now let's get naked lol." The affidavit says although arrangements to meet for sexual intercourse had developed, Rosen decided the risk that he was dealing with an undercover officer was too great, and he canceled the meeting. He was still arrested after an arrest warrant was issued for "Use of a Communications Device to Solicit a Minor within Fairfax County." On Friday, a Fairfax County judge allowed Rosen to be released on $25,000 bond.

Massive sinkhole swallows truck in Northeast D.C.
Brad Bell, ABC 7 NewsWASHINGTON (WJLA) -- A massive sinkhole has opened up along a Northeast D.C. street following the latest water main break in the city. The huge sinkhole that appeared Tuesday afternoon, swallowing a truck, measured 7-feet wide by 7-feet long. The sinkhole's formation was triggered by an 8-inch water main that ruptured on 13th Place NE between Farragut Place and Faraday Place. Officials said the leaking water washed away the ground underneath the pavement - causing it to buckle and collapse. D.C. Water crews spent Tuesday afternoon and evening working to repair the busted water main; road repairs were expected to begin sometime Wednesday.

Transportation and telecommunications
During the Spanish colonial period there were three principal overland transportation routes. The most important led from Buenos Aires to the wealthy mining centre in Upper Peru (now Bolivia) via the northwestern route through Córdoba, Santiago del Estero, San Miguel de Tucumán, and San Salvador de Jujuy. A second route linked Buenos Aires with Chile westward through Villa María, San Luis, and Mendoza. The third route extended north from Buenos Aires to Santa Fe and Corrientes. These and less-important side roads were used by mule drivers, horsemen, huge two-wheeled oxcarts called carretas, and stagecoaches drawn by teams of six to eight horses.
The system was transformed not by modernizing the roads but rather by rapidly building rail lines during the period just after 1857. British and other foreign capital funded rail networks that radiated from Buenos Aires. Rail construction continued from that time into the 20th century, and the country developed the most extensive rail system in Latin America. After the railways expanded, the nation built up its road network. Argentina's roadway mileage is now outranked in Latin America only by Brazil and Mexico; nearly one-third of the roads are paved. The largest share of surface freight is now carried by road, with lesser amounts carried by river and railroad.
Small ships that carry passengers and freight have served the coastal cities from Buenos Aires to Río Gallegos since the end of the 19th century. The ocean shipping fleet is not well developed, however, considering Argentina's extensive export trade. Airlines link all regions of the country. Every major city has an airport, and even small, remote centres such as Ushuaia in southern Patagonia have reliable air service. Nearly all the largest cities have international airports, the most important being Ezeiza outside Buenos Aires. The country's main air transport company, Aerolíneas Argentinas, was founded by the government in 1950 to handle domestic and international traffic. It was sold to a consortium headed by Spain's national carrier, Iberia, in 1992 and unsuccessfully restructured in the late 1990s. The airlines returned to state control in 2008.
In November 2000 the telecommunications industry was deregulated in an attempt to open the market to competition, improve the speed and breadth of services, and lower costs. Argentina was experiencing a boom in Internet start-up companies, which the infrastructure was inadequate to support. By 2000 fewer than 10 percent of the people owned personal computers, and less had Internet access, but the numbers for both were growing rapidly. The two extant regional telecommunications companies, Telecom and Telefónica, in 1989–90 had replaced the state-owned Entel company, which was notorious for decade-long waits for installations. The system subsequently was modernized, with extensive fibre-optic lines installed throughout most of the market and service made available to remote locations. Cellular service was expanding as well, approaching the rate of traditional landline service.
Government and society
Constitutional framework
Argentina is a federal union of 23 provincias and a federal capital district, the city of Buenos Aires. Federalism came to Argentina only after a long struggle between proponents of a central government and supporters of provincial interests. The constitution of 1853 was modeled on that of the United States. The constitution promulgated in 1994 provides for consecutive presidential terms (which had not been allowed previously), but few other changes distinguish it from the 1853 document; in its largely original form, the constitution has sustained Argentina with at least a nominal form of republican, representative, and federal government.
Executive power resides in the office of the president, who is elected with a vice president to a four-year term (only two terms can be consecutive). The president is commander in chief of the armed forces and appoints all civil, military, and federal judicial officers, as well as the chief of the Cabinet of Ministers, the body that oversees the general administration of the country. The Argentine legislature, or National Congress, consists of two houses: a 72-seat Senate and a 257-seat Chamber of Deputies. The Senate, whose members are elected to six-year terms, consists of three representatives from each province and the federal capital. The Chamber of Deputies, whose members are elected to four-year terms, is apportioned according to population.
Provincial and local government
Each province has its own government, with executive, legislative, and judicial branches similar to those of the federal government. The provinces retain all power not specifically reserved to the federal government in the constitution. Local government was nullified in 1966 and restored in 1973, only to be taken over again in 1976 by the military dictatorship. With the restoration of constitutional government in 1983, the provinces and municipalities once more exercised the authority of local government. Municipal governments vary in structure, but many towns and cities have elected mayors. The executive (jefe de gobierno) of Buenos Aires is directly elected to a four-year term and is eligible for immediate reelection.
