Recent media coverage of an alleged fox attack on a young child
may have increased public concern about the danger posed by
foxes. Public opinion of foxes varies widely, with
some wanting them destroyed, while others are happy to
tolerate them and some actively encourage them. Some people
believe the fox population is increasing, but this is not the case.
Fox populations are relatively stable and self regulating according
to the availability of habitat and food. Foxes are classed as
wild animals, not pests, and the Council has no statutory
powers or legal rights to eradicate foxes on private or other
On this page:
Clearly, foxes can be a nuisance at times, particularly during
the mating season when their eerie screams can be heard at night or
when male foxes (dogs) fight with each other over territory or a
female fox (vixen). The problem of fox noise is seasonal and lasts
for just a couple of weeks.
Foxes will sometimes tear rubbish sacks apart and leave the
contents strewn all over the street. However, other animals,
including pet cats and dogs, can be responsible for doing that
In the past few years there have been some reports of attacks on
children. Thankfully these are extremely rare.
Statistically, the risk that foxes pose is very small indeed.
The risk from dangerous dogs is far greater.
Foxes pose little danger to cats. But, like any other dog,
foxes will chase cats. Generally, though, when faced with the claws
and teeth of a cat, foxes will back away, knowing they will
probably suffer a serious injury in any fight. However, foxes will
scavenge the remains of dead cats, but actual evidence of them
killing cats is extremely rare. Cats and dogs vastly outnumber
foxes and they usually co-exist without any serious problems. But,
many fox cubs are killed each year by pet cats and dogs.
However, small pets, like rabbits and guinea pigs can be taken
by foxes. They need to be securely housed to ensure foxes cannot
get access to them. Most wire pens are not robust enough to deter a
determined fox. Foxes also eat rats and other rodents and can thus
help to keep those pests down.
The following information is provided to help people who may be
experiencing problems with foxes. It will become apparent that real
control is in the hands of the public. However, the Council will do
all that it can to offer practical advice and information about
foxes and how we can make our homes and the streets less attractive
to them.
It is the abundance of food and shelter and almost a complete
absence of predators that has enabled the fox to thrive in inner
cities. Like any other mammailian pest species, the answer to
controlling them comes down to just two practical measures, denying
them a regular source of food and also shelter. Therefore, if
we, as a community, reduce the availability of food and places to
shelter, fox numbers will reduce, as will the number of rats, feral
pigeons and seagulls.
The most effective method of fox control in urban areas is the
motor vehicle. Almost 50 per cent of UK foxes are killed on the
Some people think the Council should start culling foxes, but
such a measure is not only extremely expensive, potentially
dangerous and very unlikely to succeed. There was a
nationwide program to cull foxes that ran for more than 30 years,
but fox numbers did not noticeably decline.
Legally, there are only two methods that can be used to dispose
of foxes:
The first option is far too dangerous to be used in urban
areas. We do not want to encourage people to walk around our
streets, gardens and parks carrying and discharging firearms.
The second option is just too expensive. The costs
of trapping and giving a fox a lethal injection is in excess
of £500 per fox. In addition, only a vet can administer a lethal
injection and most vets are unwilling to put down any healthy
In any event, newly-vacated territory is quickly occupied
by other foxes, often within days. Moreover, killing simply brings
about less competition for food and territory and the mortality
rate for the remaining foxes will decline.
Some pest control companies will kill foxes. If you
decide to employ someone to kill a fox on your property you need to
understand that you will be responsible for the costs of killing
and disposing of the animal (which can be considerable). And, as
just explained, the territory of a culled fox will be quickly
re-occupied by another fox.
The public seem to be equally divided about foxes, with as many
people calling for their protection as call for them to be
eradicated. What many people fail to understand is that it is our
lifestyle which is one of the key things that attract them into the
city. The abundance of food and shelter to be found here, combined
with an absence of predators means that foxes are able to thrive in
the inner cities.
As well as denying foxes a source of food or shelter, there
are a few other steps you can take to deal with a fox that has
taken up residence in your garden:
Always read the manufacturer's label and follow their
instructions before using.
Success with repellents requires persistence. Foxes will not
vacate their territory easily. Problems with scent marking and
faeces may get worse before they get better. Foxes will increase
their scent marking if their territory is threatened. Successfully
deterring foxes will require constant re-application of the
repellent, often for weeks, before the foxes give up and move
Do not be tempted to try to poison foxes as such action puts
other animals (pets, wild birds etc) and humans at risk. People who
do use poisons illegally can face substantial fines and / or a
prison sentence. If you need practical help with foxes you should
contact a pest control professional for advice. The British Pest Control Association
website is useful for finding a suitable pest control
professional. Remember, only trained pest control professionals can
kill or trap foxes.
As mentioned above, foxes do not, generally, attack humans.
However, if you are concerned about leaving young children or
babies sleeping or playing inside a room, because foxes have been
seen in your area or the street, there are a few common-sense
precautions you might take to allay any concerns you have:
You should not trap foxes inside their den. It is cruel and
illegal to do so. Nor should you be tempted to lay poison or put
out poisoned food for foxes. To do so puts other people and
wildlife at risk. Moreover, the penalties for doing so are
considerable and those who do flout the law risk heavy fines and
possible imprisonment.
There has been a rapid spread of foxes into urban areas during
the past 100 years, particularly in the south of England, where
cities, like London, have encroached into more rural areas. Foxes
prefer suburban areas, with large gardens where they can find
shelter beneath shrubbery, sheds, and in other quiet areas, for
example, alongside railway tracks or in parks and other open
spaces. Foxes excavate burrows, known as earths or dens, in those
areas, particularly where there is dense vegetation.
Indications that a den is occupied are:
well worn paths to the entrance, which are about 25 cm
an unpleasant musty smell around the entrance
Foxes breed just once a year. The mating season begins in
January when the screeching mating cries can be heard during the
night and the early hours. A litter of four to five cubs is born
about late March, and the cubs remain exclusively inside the den
for about six to eight weeks.
Dens become abandoned by June or July, when the cubs will begin
to learn how to forage for food. By September, the cubs will be
just about fully grown, and in late October the cubs leave the
family, to set up their own territory, often nearby.
Foxes are omnivorous; their usual diet is birds, worms,
small mammals, insects, fruit and household refuse, when they can
get it. In city areas, discarded food (take-away food, household
rubbish and pet food left out overnight) can make up more than half
of a fox's daily diet.

A BMW Insider Weighs in on Upcoming MINI Models
Frequent MotoringFile commenter and known BMW insider, Herr26, left us a interesting comment yesterday on our recent post regarding upcoming MINI models. As with all of his comments (here or BimmerFile) don't take it as fact but perhaps great insight about a moment in time within BMW. In the past we've seen many of his proven right but also some proven wrong simply because plans changed within the company.
All that said its well worth a read, so we're reposting it here. In it, there's lots of interesting tidbits regarding future MINIs:
- The MINI Spacebox aka the Traveller that will be essentially a larger version of the Clubman based on the recently announced BMW Active Tourer pictured above
- MINI four door sedan
- MINI Activity Tourer which could be something of a larger four door Pacemen with an extremely raked look
- MINI Sports car aka the next generation coupe and roadster which could seeing more variation from the look o the standard MINI
Catch the full comment after the break.
The next MINI concept will be a cross-over destined to show how BMW and MINI can co-exist. Entirely based on the Active Tourer the MINI variant goes with familiar MINI aspects such as enhanced MINI family design and quirky features such as club doors but with the emphasis on space and light. As the vehicle utilises an allround glasshouse and large panorama roof for an enhanced spatial feel It is the vehicle destined to become the MINI TRAVELLER and follows the same creative approach as the BMW by re-interpreting an existing concept into their own brand philosophy. Whilst the BMW aims for a very dynamic appearance with intelligent thinking the MINI will appeal more to the MINI heartland and especially those who need more space and flexibility. One clever addition is the incorporating of a Rolls-Royce type wrap around lounge seat in the rear.
To describe the MINI it is very much like an enlarged clubman and alongside the Active Tourer you would never guess they are practically the same car . But that is BMW's intentions that MINI and BMW can and will co-exist. Appearances will differ as will how they will drive as BMW sets out to show that MINI and BMW can co-exist. Both the MINI Traveller and BMW Active Tourer enter a market that is growing as more european customers are turning to cross-overs in needs of greater flexibility. The Mercedes-Benz B-Klasse has shown that premium can work within such a segment and the two concept attack by BMW and MINI has spurned Audi into action as the segment is expected to grow by around 45-50% and BMW expects both the MINI and BMW to take a significant result from that growth.
The interesting aspect in terms of design language of the BMW Active Tourer is that if you shrink the car and change the front and rear end you get a very close look of the next MINI's sister the City Compact. The MINI sedan is also moving ahead with some quarter scale models being built for first evaluations. Looking like a mixture of Maserati and even a mini-Rolls-Royce the car is advancing with some typical MINI ideas being expanded on as slimmer, elongated MINI-esque lights at the front or the conventional cornered lights , trapezoid rear lights and floating roof , its far too early to get a definite answer on what it will look like , but some of the ideas are so far overly impressive , some even incorporating the rear hinged doors which bodes to my impression of a MINI Rolls-Royce. The stumbling block here is what to do with BMW. As BMW are currently at work on a elongated four door of the upcoming 2er Coupe model to bring into line amongst the 6er Gran Coupe and upcoming 4er Gran Coupe aimed at the Mercedes CLA and Audi A3 Sedan. A FWD 4dr BMW would be counter-productive as the appeal of a RWD model would be far greater.
The next BMW FWD model is an intelligent approach on the SAV, MPV and Touring. This can fully be described as a cross-over because it features the robust solidity of an SAV in its appearance, The space feel of an MPV and the cargo capability as a Touring and you can add Coupe to that mix because of its dynamic sloping rear end.
Dubbed the F.amily A.ctivity S.ports T.ourer or FAST for short it aims to offer an intelligent approach to a cross-over which combines every need with optional xDrive. One thing learned is that there are a lot more customers using their cars for more than their basic needs. In todays market it has shown that customers now shun conventional concepts in light of more unconventional choices, such as MPVs over Sedans, Crossovers instead of hatches and so on.
FAST offers a variation in one concept with universal appeal. FAST will also be the first BMW model (after BMW i3) to offer rear hinged doors as the FAST shares with a similar MINI Concept which I originally thought it was the Paceman is actually the MINI Activity Tourer.
The MINI Activity Tourer brings the more raked look from the PACEMAN , but to a five door concept. Again sharing with the BMW FAST it aims to offer a variation on the MINI theme by offering a more sporting space concept but developed for a more active lifestyle. For a more stylish MINI appearance rear hinged doors will open up the cabin for easy entry/exit on the beach or on the slopes.
The MINI Sports car idea is a variation on the theme of actual Coupe/Roadster and how that for the second generation and in that the whole MINI family. Is that if you take the Countryman it has proved that MINI can stand alone in seperate individual concepts. And now is the opportunity for the MINI family to expand further on styling and individuality.
The current MINI , Coupe , Clubman and Roadster are all variants of the same look. the next generation should form their own unique identity but still be recognisable as a MINI. The Countryman has achieved this and the replacements for the MINI Coupe and Roadster should also follow this by making them completely distinguishable from the conventional standard MINI with more individuality and sportier styling. MINI's unique selling point is that they are cars with character , they expand on ideas in an unconventional way and yet they deliver cars which drive with a fun-factor missing from many proposed sporting hatches or coupes.
The next generation through their enhanced sharing with BMW retains that fun factor with a dynamic edge but never forgetting that go-kart like character. BMW are aiming at a more sporting edge aimed at the more premium end of the market , despite the concept whether it is FWD or a Active Tourer etc it has too feel as direct and communicative as a BMW. BMW knows that for this new generation of compact vehicles is that for everything to work they have to be everything the other is not and that individuality is just as important as design.
Something the engineers have achieved, I cannot wait till you find out how this jigsaw goes together.
Thanks, Herr26. We always appreciate your perspective.
Tell us what you think about all this, readers. Is there too much BMW is this formula? Do you like what you're reading? Sound off in the comments.

In a Nairobi slum, conversation as a catalyst for tackling povertyPosted on Tuesday, July 16th, 2013 at 1:44 pm
By Aoife Ruth, Program Support Officer and Assistant to the Overseas Director, Concern Worldwide
In these times of financial turmoil, it is natural to question government spending and examine how our limited resources can be best put to use. Overseas aid budgets have come under intense scrutiny from citizens of countries the world over, with some people preferring that we cease all aid in favor of spending on domestic projects during this cash-strapped and difficult period–the 'charity begins at home' outlook.
Many others recognize the importance of aid to the world's poorest, whether for reasons of social justice, compassion, or diplomacy. Amidst all the voices and opinions, I have noted the growing unease and at times, cynicism, people have about aid and its efficacy. "We give and give, but nothing ever changes" is a phrase I have often heard.
Implicit in this unease is the notion that the world's poor are simply recipients, simply needy, waiting to be led out of poverty. What we do not see represented as often is the tireless commitment and dogged determination of communities and of average community members to improve their lives, to increase their opportunities, their access to jobs, health care, and education.

Hi everyone,
My sister's blood pressure has been between 135/85 to 140/95 consistently starting about 2 years ago, however, after recent lifestyle modifications her blood pressure is now around 115/65 to 120/70. Are there any studies that indicate that kidney damage (lowered GFR) or arterial/capillary damage could have occurred during that time? Her other signs were fine, no tachycardia, hyperglycemia, or other factors in her blood tests that could cause kidney/artery damage to occur.
I also have other family members who haven't controlled their diabetes (fasting glucose at 125) but have normal blood pressure / other factors, is there a general timeline that's been established for when and at what rate this starts to cause permanent damage to kidneys/arteries?

Has she had kidney function tests?
Only recently she has, and they indicated normal kidney function blood markers and a normal GFR, so I have no way of knowing whether this short term hypertension could've impacted these markers even slightly. Was curious if there was a general rule of thumb for when damage starts, and the rate at which this damage occurs and alters kidney / circulatory health.

Life Extension's information on high blood pressure
and kidney health
have some limited information on the relationship between hypertension and kidney damage (copied below) but there's nothing as specific as you are looking for. She would be advised to consult a physician. In addition to blood tests, there are highly sensitive urinary markers of kidney disease.
How old is she? Although there is significant disagreement on this matter, some physicians believe that older adults whose blood pressure is in the range you mention shouldn't be treated for hypertension. Not to make light of it--just want you to know that among older people, having blood pressure in that range is not considered damaging by some (but not all) authorities.
"Aside from the influence of neural triggers on heart rate, much of blood pressure control is performed by the kidneys. By controlling the balance of water and salt, the kidneys influence blood volume, lending long-term blood pressure control. The kidneys also produce hormones that act remotely to increase blood pressure through vasoconstriction of arteries. Kidney function can become impaired as people age, which is another reason why blood pressure may increase as we grow older. A major reason for kidney impairment is hypertension, so those starting with mild kidney problems have elevated blood pressure that then inflicts more kidney damage resulting in still higher blood pressure readings."
"High blood pressure (or hypertension) creates a significant risk factor for kidney failure. This risk factor is amplified for persons with ADPKD. After investigaing the 24-hour blood pressure profile of ambulatory patients, particularly to measure nocturnal fall of blood pressure, researchers found that in ADPKD patients, the reduction in nocturnal blood pressure was attenuated (lessened), indicating increased risk for kidney damage (Li Kam Wa 1997). Further studies are needed to evaluate the contribution of nocturnal hypertension on the overall progression of renal failure. However, in another related study of untreated children, it was found that nocturnal hypertension was a major risk factor for renal deterioration (Lingens 1997)."

During the peak of the Recovery Act, Stimulus News You Can Use was one way WSDOT kept transportation stakeholders updated on the fast-moving effort to put people to work and improve the state's infrastructure. Each edition contained information on project delivery and highlights. Visit the Newsletter Archive for earlier editions.
Seven more local Recovery Act highway projects completed – Local governments reported seven more projects completed this week. The projects included street paving in Port Angeles, Olympia, Rainier, and Kelso, new intersection lighting in Mason County, and road widening and improvements in Poulsbo and Clallam County. Three were finished in early summer and four were completed in the last few weeks. To date, local governments have completed 126, or 74%, of the 170 local highway projects that received $152 million in Recovery Act funds.
Stimulus highway projects have paid out more than $131 million in payroll – Employees on state and local highway projects receiving Recovery Act funds in Washington worked over 173,000 hours and earned payroll totaling $6.9 million in September. To date, employees have worked over 3.4 million hours on and earned more than $131 million from projects receiving stimulus funds. Now that 74% of the highway stimulus projects are operationally complete and fall weather has taken hold, WSDOT expects fewer labor hours to be reported through the fall and winter months. For more information, see the main Recovery Act employment webpage.One local project awarded – On October 22, the city of Airway Heights in Spokane County advertised its Lawson Street project. The city received $1 million in Recovery Act funds to reconstruct the road. All but eight Recovery Act highway projects are now completed, awarded, or under way. Federal Transportation Blog highlights this week – Check the WSDOT Federal Issues blog for recent items on TIGER II grant announcements, high-speed rail, the Obama administration's transportation plans, and the planned transportation reauthorization bill.WSDOT Highlight of the WeekTreat for construction-weary I-5 travelers in Thurston and Pierce counties – A six-month project that rehabilitates more than 25 miles of Interstate 5 between Pierce and Thurston counties has come to an end. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) said the project was completed this week, adding 20 years of life to sections of I-5 that carry 100,000 to 150,000 vehicles each day. Crews replaced 50- and 60-year-old concrete panels that had exceeded their life expectancy by 20 years. Workers reinforced other parts of the roadway by installing more than 53,000 steel dowels, and they ground smooth nearly 211,000 square yards of roadway surface. "This $8.4 million project funded by the 2009 American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) not only brings new life to this part of the I-5 corridor but also puts people to work," said Paula Hammond, Secretary of Transportation. "Up to 67 crew members, including laborers, operators, truck drivers, mechanics, concrete masons and iron workers, worked hard on this project every week." Thanks to motorists, weeknight lane closures and eleven extended weekend closures necessary to complete the work with minimum traffic disruption went off without a hitch. "The motoring public had a big role in the success of this project," said Kevin Dayton, WSDOT region administrator. "The patience they showed while I-5 was reduced to a single lane overnight for the past six months was incredible. On the extended closure weekends, we asked drivers to avoid I-5 in Lakewood altogether because we knew that normal traffic volumes would cause many miles of backups. Motorists listened, and traffic volumes during those weekends dropped as much as 40 percent."

Camshaft design is all about valvetrain inertia as a whole. You must design the entire valvetrain to work as a single system. The goal is to have the valve motion be the same as the designed cam motion. The problem is that the weight of all the parts, the elasticity of the components, and the effects of the springs all work against the cam motion at high rpm. During the initial opening of the valve, the lifters, pushrods, rockers, and valvesprings are compressed into action. The lobe design has to be quick yet smooth so you don't transfer any bad harmonics into the system, which will cause spring surge and destroy them. As you run up the ramp to the nose, the valve is opening farther, the parts are compressing more, and the dynamic loads are getting higher. All this stresses the system. Over the nose at max lift, the valvetrain is fully compressed and fighting to rebound against the force imparted on it. At high rpm, the inertia of the whole system going over the nose fights the return spring force, and the lifter wants to hang in the air instead of following the cam design. Hopefully the mass of the valvetrain and high spring pressures allow the lifter to follow the cam all the way down the ramp. If not, the lifter will bounce, which kills the valve seat and sends harmonics that destroy the springs as well as the needles in the roller lifters. This reduces the volumetric efficiency of the engine, as the valve doesn't seat properly and robs horsepower.
Computer Design
Isky was the first to utilize computer design in the development of performance camshafts. Not only did this help optimize performance, it significantly streamlined manufacturing. "The time it took our customers to receive a custom cam went from several weeks to one week by simply implementing a scientific calculator. Then it went from a week to days as the process evolved, but you still had to hand finish the master cam, which took days in the 1970s and '80s," Jamora recollects. New software design programs soon came out that cut the design time down to hours and enabled grinding a master using NC punch cards in a day or so. "Now you can design a new ramp in a few hours from scratch, send it to the CNC grinder, and grind the cam or master in minutes. It saves a tremendous amount of time and helps push R&D forward."
Jamora continues, "Sometimes an engine builder will call me and say 'I want to try this and that.' I tell him, 'That's not going to work, but I'll cut it for you if you want.' I'll get a call a week later from the guy saying, 'You were right, but I had to know for myself, so let's try it your way this time.' Experimenting like that just wasn't possible decades ago, and it's all thanks to computer technology. These days you have different cams for each different track."
Valvetrain Breakthroughs
From the very early days at Isky, Ed learned that in order to get to the next level in performance, you need to have matched valvetrain components. Many of the parts we take for granted simply didn't exist during hot rodding's infancy, so Ed had to invent them. Every time a racer would push for bigger lifts and durations, other parts would break. The lifters couldn't take the fast opening rates, the springs couldn't survive the violent closing rates, and this would destroy the valvetrain. In the early days, you couldn't just go buy new rockers and springs. You had to design them yourself. Consequently, Isky is credited with manufacturing the first antipump lifters, computer-designed lobes, performance valvesprings, rev kits, and antiwalk buttons.
It's a never-ending ladder of development where one breakthrough leads to other failures. Then when that failure is solved, you push a little more and the next weak point in the valvetrain presents itself. All of our breakthroughs as a company have come from necessity. If you wanted to be more aggressive with the cam you needed better lifters, stronger pushrods, and stronger springs. In every decade you see new innovations. From the advent of computer design in the early 1950s and '60s, to roller lifters and cams in the '60s, to antipump up lifters and shaft rockers in the '70s and '80s, to new profiles and big journal sizes of the '90s, to the even more complex cam designs and better springs of this decade, valvetrain technology is always on the move.
The Spintron is a machine that's known as a spin fixture. It was designed and built by Bob Fox of Trend Performance. It has a 50hp electric motor that spins a test engine up to 12,000 rpm. We can program the machine to perform simulation runs at various tracks. For example, we have a test that simulates running at Daytona in a NASCAR Sprint Cup car, which includes the warm-up, practice, qualifying, and race with yellow flags and pit stops. We also have a test simulating Pro Stock and Pro Mod runs including the burnout. This enables us to collect data and see if our new profiles and parts perform up to task.
We measure data in the block with a laser to track actual valve motion as well as high-speed cameras to see what the parts actually go through at high rpm. The forces are very violent. If you think about it, at 9,000 rpm the valve opens and closes about 75 times per second. Snap your finger, and in that amount of time the valve has banged open and shut 75 times. The dynamic pressures involved are unbelievable.
The Spintron and the information we gather from it pushed us to design our Gold Strip Tool Room series of springs and our EZ-Roll bushing lifters. This, in turn, helped us push closer to the edge of what is possible in cam design.

Fairfield Habitat
Greater Fairfield Area Habitat for Humanity is a locally run affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization. Habitat for Humanity partners with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. Greater Fairfield Area Habitat for Humanty has been building in Fairfield, Iowa since 1995. We have built ten houses in Fairfield and have not needed to use any government loans. We have enough land to build three more residences, and we are looking for more land at this time.
Individual and corporate donors provide money and materials to build Habitat homes, and volunteers provide most of the labor. Partner families invest hundreds of hours of labor into building their homes and the homes of others. Each partner family purchases their home with a no-profit, interest-free mortgage. Mortgage payments go into a revolving fund that is used to build more homes.

The company shifts money around the world to get the lowest tax rates possible. It's legal, but is it right?
Google (GOOG) loves to talk about the ways it makes money, but it stays mostly silent on one of its most profitable units: its tax lawyers.
Those lawyers have made Google and its shareholders oodles of money by devising ways to funnel profits out of high-tax countries and into island tax havens like Bermuda.
It's all perfectly legal -- though it does make some people skeptical of Google's "Don't be evil" mantra. And as a result, Google has cut taxes by $3.1 billion in three years and lowered its overseas tax rate to a jaw-dropping 2.4%, Bloomberg reports.
The numbers should make a shareholder proud. The U.S. tax rate for corporations is 35%. If Google actually paid that rate on all its earnings, its share price might be $100 lower, one analyst told Bloomberg.
"It's remarkable that Google's effective rate is that low," one tax economist told Bloomberg. "We know this company operates throughout the world mostly in high-tax countries where the average corporate rate is well over 20%."
Google's tax strategy helped it boost earnings by 26% last year through international tax benefits, Bloomberg reported. While other tech companies use similar strategies, Google is more aggressive and has been able to pay lower international taxes than Apple (AAPL), IBM (IBM) and Microsoft (MSFT).
So how does Google do it? By creating a subsidiary in a low-tax country and selling that unit the foreign rights to Google technology developed in the U.S. As a result, all foreign profits from that technology go to the low-taxed subsidiary.
Google decided to create a subsidiary in Ireland, Bloomberg reported. Google Ireland Holdings now has the foreign rights for Google's search and advertising for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
As a result, the Ireland office took credit for 88% of Google's international sales last year.
Why Ireland? Because in its desperation to attract big names, Ireland loosened rules to let companies move profits out of the country with little tax penalty. And the penalty gets even smaller if Google moves the money to the Netherlands.
So the payments go from Ireland to the Netherlands to Bermuda, Bloomberg reports. That's what the lawyers like to call a "Dutch sandwich."
This is not illegal. But is it ethical? As the U.S. struggles to pull out of a recession, is it fair for Google to island-hop its way out of paying more taxes? Google's overall effective tax rate was 22.2% last year.
One economics professor told Bloomberg that corporate profit shifting costs the U.S. government up to $60 billion a year in lost taxes.
Bloomberg found two opposing viewpoints. One manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers says Google is obligated to shareholders to minimize taxes, which it is doing.
But a college accounting professor who reviewed Google's tax disclosures said the company is "perpetrating evil under our noses."
"Who is it that paid for the underlying concept on which they built these billions of dollars of revenues?" the professor said. "It was paid for by the United States citizenry."

Group called Anonymous demands release of one of their own who was kidnapped
An international group of online hackers is warning a Mexican drug cartel to release one of its members, kidnapped from a street protest, or it will publish the identities and addresses of the syndicate's associates, from corrupt police to taxi drivers, as well as reveal the syndicates' businesses.
The vow is a bizarre cyber twist to Mexico's ongoing drug war, as a group that has no guns is squaring off against the Zetas, a cartel blamed for thousands of deaths as well as introducing beheadings and other frightening brutality.

aCalendar only asks for mandatory permissions for its functionality: Read and write contact data for birthdays as well as read and write calendar data for events. 'Send Email to guests' is bound to 'write calendar data' by Google. NFC is for sharing events by touching another NFC-enabled phone, and requires manual confirmation.
Unfortunately app2SD cannot be supported, because homescreen widgets do not work from SD. This is an Android limitation. But aCalendar is optimized not only for speed but also for size.
♥ aCalendar is made with love, sweat and tears in the heart of Munich. If you like aCalendar, please rate or comment and recommend it to your friends. Also consider upgrading to aCalendar+ for extra features ♥
aCalendar is free and ad-free. No features will be taken away, but some advanced calendar features might only come to aCalendar+.

Month Calendar Widget
If you are looking for a simple, lightweight but still customizable month view on your screen, this app is for you.
Please note that this app was designed from the beginning to be only a month viewer, not a complete calendar app. This means that with MCW alone you cannot see your appointments. However, you can add basic event management to it if you download the extension app (more on this below).
The calendar in this app is a home screen widget. Since widgets on Android work right on the home screen, you don't have to "open" this calendar: just go to the list of available widgets in your device, find MCW there and drop it to the screen.
After choosing your preferences in the Settings screen you'll have the widget ready to use.
Don't forget that you can resize it, and also put more than one widget on the screen.
MCW is extensible. There are 2 separate apps that enhance the basic widget:
• MCW Calendar Events extension: Manage your calendar events right on the widget - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.josegd.mcwe.calendarevents
• MCW Lockscreen extension: Use the widget also in the lockscreen of your Android 4.2 to 4.4 device - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.josegd.mcwe.lockscreen
Both apps are paid. If you find MCW useful please consider buying the extensions to support further development of these apps. Thanks in advance!
In case you have problems putting MCW to work, want to give feedback or report a bug, these are your options:
• Email me directly
• Post a comment in the Google+ community: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105494419095577561767
• Mention me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/Jose_GD
I usually respond within 24 business hours. Spanish, English and Portuguese are OK, otherwise write in your language and we'll see if Google Translate helps :)

Today Calendar
• 7 Productive calendar Views
• Forecasted weather
• 2 Customisable calendar widgets
• Theming support
• Beautiful interface
• Polished animations
• Stable calendar experience
• Night mode
Split view is Today Calendar's most popular view, it's show's an overview of the month, and events of particular days on the same screen, making it by far the easiest way to plan your schedule using Today Calendar.
Quick actions
Quick actions appear on the right in the agenda and split view, allowing to easily navigation to an event, email other attendees or call an associated number with just one tap.
Despite being derived from the same stock android calendar as the majority of alternative calendars on the Play Store, Today Calendar sets itself apart from the competition by being the only calendar app to combine high functionality with truly beautiful aesthetics.
The stock calendar's UI was completely overhauled to create Today Calendar. The old cluttered grey-on-grey layout was replaced with a clean accented white to create a truly beautiful calendar app.
Functionality wise, Today calendar contains all the features you would find in the stock calendar app, with many features getting slightly modified and rebuilt from the ground up to increase performance and productivity.
The month view has been redesigned to be Today Calendar's All-In-One view. It combines both the month and agenda views of the stock calendar to allow the vast majority of users to plan and organise their days from a single view.
Today calendar's widgets are the result of 6 months of improvements and optimisations - they are actually available as a separate app i released months ago. Today Calendar Widgets comes bundled with the app, providing the same beautiful, semi-transparent widgets you may already know.

Peg Leg Porker Memphis Wet Sauce
We absolutely love Peg Leg Porker, because they are true to their Memphis roots and offer you a pure taste of this BBQ Mecca. In Memphis, sauce is considered a condiment. BBQ should never be served sloppy joe style. Sauce should be served as a topping to a sandwich or on the side. The sauce should be a compliment to the meat.
Peg Leg Porker Memphis Wet Sauce does just that. It is a great compliment to any BBQ. When used in conjunction with their dry rub, it makes for a mouth watering combination. It goes great on top of your favorite BBQ and has a flavor that is not too sweet and has just the right amount of tang! No heat, just a whole lot of flavor!
Memphis Wet Sauce is a thick, bold sauce that it not too sweet and not too hot but really just right for most any palate. Try it on a pork sandwich, ribs, chicken or brisket for the perfect compliment to your Q.
Peg Leg Porker Dry Rub
In order to form what Q fanatics call the bark, the dark outer crust on a smoked piece of meat, you need a great rub. Peg Leg Porker Original Dry Rub is a rich and flavorful rub specifically developed for Pork BBQ. It has over 16 herbs and spices and compliments your meat with the true flavor of West, TN BBQ. This dry rub is really a true Memphis dry seasoning for ribs that is meant to be put on after smoking. So let the flavor of the smoke and the pork create the bark, and then season it up with some of this dry rub and you have a taste of Memphis!
Although it was designed for pork, don't be shy. Peg Leg Original Dry Rub is great on chicken, seafood and even beef. Heck, we even have fans that put it on their eggs and Salmon. This is one rub that won't disappoint.
