The days when a small business could ignore the risks of having misclassified workers are over. Unfortunately, some employers improperly classify their employees as independent contractors to avoid the pain associated with having employees, namely:

Payroll taxes

Minimum wage or overtime requirements

Other wage and hour law requirements, like providing meal periods and rest breaks

Reimbursable business expenses employees incur in performing their jobs

Additionally, employers don't have to cover independent contractors under workers' compensation insurance, and are not liable for payments under unemployment insurance, disability insurance, or social security.

It's true, the expenses associated with employees are high. However, the cost of misclassifying workers is even higher. If your contractors are determined to really be employees you will not only be required to pay the taxes and fees you should've, you may also be required to pay the employee's taxes as well. Not to mention the stiff penalties and interest that can be imposed by both federal and state agencies for violating the various laws.

This is no small matter and is on the radar of every government agency out there, all of whom are anxious to find additional revenue sources these days. The IRS estimates that one in seven U.S. employers is guilty of misclassifying some of its employees, resulting in a loss of more than $4.1 billion a year in tax revenues. These days the question is no longer "if" you'll get audited for employee misclassification it's "when".

For businesses facing an audit, the odds favor the IRS. A recent report found that 92 percent of the companies audited for "misclassification" were hit with significant penalties and assessed for back taxes. Between 1988 and 1995, the IRS audited more than 13,000 businesses, reclassified 500,000 of their independent contractors as employees, and levied $830 million in back taxes and penalties.

Making matters worse, sometimes the various agencies disagree. For instance, here in California there are several state agencies involved with the determination of independent contractor status: (1) the Employment Development Department (EDD), which is concerned with employment-related taxes, (2) the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), which is concerned with whether the wage, hour and workers' compensation insurance laws apply; (3) the Franchise Tax Board (FTB), which is concerned with state income taxes; (4) the Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC), which is concerend with worker's compensation; and (5) sometimes even the Contractors State Licensing Board (CSLB), that also have regulations or requirements concerning independent contractors and it's not uncommon for one to rule that a worker is an employee while another rules that the same worker is an independent contractor.

Because the potential liabilities and penalties are so significant if an individual is treated as an independent contractor and later found to be an employee, each individual working relationship needs to be thoroughly analyzed to make sure every single worker is properly classified. Now is not the time to group classes of employees together. Just because one of your workers qualifies as an independent contractor, don't assume that all the others doing similar work will.

It all boils down to control - does your business have control or the right to control the worker both as to the work done and the manner and means in which it is performed? The IRS breaks control down into three categories: behavioral control, financial control, and relationship of the parties. It is very important to consider all the facts for every single one of your worker relationships – no single fact provides the answer.

Behavioral Control

These facts show whether there is a right to direct or control how the worker does the work.

Instructions - if your business has the right to direct or control the work, even if you don't actually exercise the right, it can lead to an employee classification. Here are a few examples of what's considered control:

how, when, or where to do the work

what tools or equipment to use

what assistants to hire to help with the work

where to purchase supplies and services

Training - if your business provides training about required procedures and methods it may be considered an indication that the business wants the work done in a certain way, which can lead to an employee classification

Financial Control

These facts show whether there is a right to direct or control the business part of the work. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:

Does the worker has unreimbursed business expenses?

Did the worker invest in the facilities used in performing services?

Does the worker makes his or her services available to the other businesses?

How do you pay the worker?

Can the worker can realize a profit or incur a loss?

Type of Relationship

These facts show how the business and the worker perceive their relationship.

Do you have written contracts describing the relationship the parties intended to create?

Is the worker available to perform services for other, similar businesses?

Do you provide the worker with employee–type benefits, such as insurance, a pension plan, vacation pay, or sick pay?

How permanent is the relationship?

Are the services performed by the worker a key aspect of your business?

You'd think that a written contract detailing that you and your worker agree that you are not creating an employer-employee relationship is all that's needed, but unfortunately this isn't the case. It may certainly help, especially is you subsequently issue a 1099 form instead of a W-2 form, but even this doesn't guarantee protection.

If you decide to classify some or all of your workers as employees, this is what you have to look forward to:

You must withhold income tax and your employee's portion of social security and Medicare taxes.

You are also responsible for paying social security, Medicare, and unemployment (FUTA) taxes on your employees' wages.

You must file a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, showing the amount of taxes withheld from your employees' pay. The Form W-2 is used by employers to:

Report wages, tips and other compensation paid to an employee

To report the employee's income tax and Social Security taxes withheld and any advanced earned income credit payments

To report wage information to the employee, the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administration

QuickBooks handles W-2's differently based on which payroll subscription you've chosen. There are three options available:

Basic Payroll: No tax forms, only reports that your accountant can use to prepare them

Enhanced Payroll: Includes all federal and many state tax forms, you pay taxes and file forms

Assisted Payroll: Intuit handles your payroll taxes for you

If you decide to classify some or all of your workers as independent contractors, there isn't as much paperwork but there are some reporting requirements:

You may be required to file Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, to report what you have paid to your independent contractors. The Form 1099-MISC is:

Used to report payments made in the course of a trade or business to another person or business who is not an employee

Required among other things, when payments of $10 or more in gross royalties or $600 or more in rents or compensation are paid

Provided by the payer to the IRS and the person or business that received the payment.

You do not have to withhold taxes from your independent contractors' pay. They are responsible for paying their own income tax and self- employment tax.

If setup properly, QuickBooks can help you track all the information needed for 1099's. Here's how:

Turn on 1099 preference

Edit > Preferences > Tax: 1099 > Company Preferences tab, check box next to Do you file 1099- Misc forms and select accounts you use to pay subcontractors next to Box 7

Setup subcontractors as 1099 vendors

Double-click on vendor, select Additional Info tab, check box next to Vendor eligible for 1099

Manage reporting process

Vendors > Print 1099's/1096

In the end, how to classify your workers is a business decision that only you can make. You may save money upfront by classifying them as independent contractors, but you could end up paying much more in the long run if they are reclassified. Protect yourself as much as possible with a paper trail - contracts, agreements, written answers to the questions listed above. You might even consider requiring your independent contractors to prove you with documentation that they are actually operating a small business themselves, such as a business license, Doing Business As (DBA) or Tax ID number from the IRS.

Jennifer Lopez 'Shocked' Pia Toscano Leaves 'American Idol'
"I'm still shocked," Jennifer Lopez told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show Friday morning after Pia Toscano's surprise American Idol elimination Thursday night.
"I don't know what happened. Maybe people thought she was safe, as I did. I thought she'd be around to the top 5, maybe even the top 2. She was one of the most talented singers that we had."
Afterward the on-air announcement, Lopez went to the stage to talk to the just-eliminated contestant to offer some consolatory advice. "I was just trying to let her know that we were pushing her every week because we thought she was one of the ones that was safe. In this business, there's always doors that have been slammed in your face. I've had tons of doors slammed in my face. I told her to stay pure in her heart, to have faith and to know that if this wasn't the path for her, that there was something bigger for her. And I believe that."
But, it may have been Lopez who needed the consoling. "I was shaking," she said of hearing the news. "I sat in the trailer afterwards and I was like 'I still can't believe that Pia got voted off at number nine.'"
Lopez also shared her thoughts on the other American Idol news of the night, Iggy Pop's shirtless rendition of Real Wild Child (Wild One). "Wow!" She told Seacrest. "Alrighty. It was a big moment for me that I'll always remember, very close up like that."

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Marco Banderas, heralded as the ''Porn Superman'' and ''The Latin King of Porn'' has a new music video and CD out now; ''the Porn Life'', and to celebrate this, Banderas will be having a promotional party at Aqua Lounge 424 North Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills on Saturday November 22nd. The red carpet event will start at 10:00pm. Industry and media and press are invited. Banderas will perform his new single live this night at the event surrounded on stage by a bevy of beautiful women. The event is hosted by King Ryan Events and XCartel.
Banderas is one of the top male performers, and one of the most liked, with his contagious smile, upbeat personality, and professional attitude.
Banderas who is always in demand, found time from his busy schedule to record a music CD and video, titled; ''The Porn Life''.
''Singing always was my first love. I did it professionally in Spain for 10 years before getting into porn. If anything I feel like a singer who just happens to be a porn star too. For my video I decided to put both talents together, and as I'd never seen anyone sing and fuck at the same time I decided it would be something different for me to do. It reminded me of being back in Barcelona doing live shows, because I used to cum right when the music ended'' said Banderas.
When asked about his new projects Banderas stated; ''the latest and most important project for me is directing and producing my own line for my company Hot Zone. It's called Marco's Dirty Dreams, and is distributed by XCartel, who are also sponsors at my music video release party. They have been great to work with''.
Banderas also added; ''I believe that the adult industry is becoming dominantly Internet orientated, and for that reason I am dedicating time to producing at least one new content scene every week for my website.''

[/quote] Source? [/quote] "Earlier, cruder studies, done before direct genetic testing was feasible, suggested that African-Americans were 25 or even 30 percent white. Shriver's project is not complete, but with data from 25 sites already in, he is coming up with 17-18 percent white ancestry among African-Americans. That's the equivalent of 106 of those 128 of your ancestors from seven generations ago having been Africans and 22 Europeans. According to Shriver, only about 10 percent of African-Americans are over 50 percent white" http://www.isteve.com/2002_How_White_Are_Blacks.htm That's the highest number suggested by studies, but it's true. That's why black Americans look different from Africans. [/quote] Cool propaganda piece... What is the true history of the 'white' species? Where do they originate from? [/quote] Uh, the same as the "black" species? We're all the same species, otherwise we wouldn't be able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring. [/quote] The black species doesn't burn in the sun like the white species, why is that? [/quote] You're still incorrectly using the word "species." However, to answer your question, yes, they do; it just takes longer. White people living at high latitudes don't suffer from vitamin D deficiency, do they? Human populations in isolation adapt to their environment, just like any other creature. [/quote] Can you explain the NATURAL hair differences between the two species... You know the kinky upward spiral curl vs the downward straight hair [/quote] Not really, no. But you're only naming two extremes. Most people are somewhere between the two. Genetically, it looks like the original humans had "peppercorn" hair, like the !Kung and San people. Everything we have now is genetic drift from that, but doesn't seem to give any particular advantage. Edit: BTW, we're not different species. We can interbreed. On that you can trust me. :-) [/quote] What 'color' is the original species? ReEdit: You're not a good teacher yet, so no, I don't trust you :-) [/quote] Light brown. [/quote] Do the 'light browns' have a name? Place of origin? [/quote] Humans. Eden. [/quote] Sounds a lil too 'christianity' for my taste... Care to try again? [/quote] Well, since even Christians admit that we don't know where Eden was, we'll just say Earth. [/quote] Ok, so all black/ Africans are from Africa, and the 'original species' is from earth? Teacher, do you have source? Personally, I like to fact check these kinda things before accepting it as truth... [/quote] You, my friend, seem to be impervious to logic. As I have already pointed out, all humans are able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Therefore, all humans are the same species. Therefore, all humans have the same origin. Therefore, the original humans would look like all of our current races mixed together. [/quote] Soooo you don't have an answer or proof for ANY of the questions I asked? [/quote] What is there for me to prove? The definition of the word "species," or the fact that all human races can interbreed? [/quote] You FAIL at teaching and learning. You're a troll pretending to have 'knowledge'...typical of your species. [/quote] You can justify your inability to cope with what I've shown you any way you wish. Others have read our conversation, and learned. Thank you. [/quote] The white american species make the best slaves, they obey much more readily and behave as clones of one master mind much more likely to believe the propaganda presented to them very easy to control. Yea... [/quote] You are truly twisted and psychotic. You come into this world as consciousness, yet feel the need to identify with skin color to the point of madness. LOL. Lighten up, bro (pun intended) [/quote] It's easier to fool the sheeple than to convince them that they have been fooled... [/quote]

His real dad was probably that Frank Marshall Davis Commie-Perv, or Malcolm X. I believe it was X, as they look so very similar.

My nomination goes to JA Adande (no surprises as he says ridiculous things on a regular basis). But the below statement is the typical nonsense sports writers or commentators say because they have to smarter than someone who accepts the obvious.
In a discussion of who's better between Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, he claims that he'd rather Kobe Bryant with the ball in a "must score" possession than anyone in the history of the game, including Michael Jordan. Here's his rationale:
"If the play breaks down, Bryant has the resourcefulness and athletic ability to create his own shot. And he's the best tough-shot shooter in the game. Ever. "
Uh, like Mike didn't have the "resourcefulnees" to improvise? Or the athletic ability to create his own shot? Did he sleep during the Michael Jordan, o is he another one of these guys who grew up a Knicks fan and so hates Michael Jordan more than any other athlete (yes, I have Knicks fans and they LOATHE MJ).
Not only this, but would he seriously select Kobe over Larry Bird or Magic Johnson?

Working Best: Skip the buzzwords, use plain English
Q: I just joined a company and am overwhelmed with the buzzwords they use ("seamless," "robust," "deliverables.") Are these new tools for modern business, or can I just use plain English? — Ned T.
A: It sounds like people in your company have jumped onto the jargon bandwagon, thinking it's a short cut to communicating clearly. It isn't. You'll probably have to learn the jargon just to get along. But many studies continue to prove the value of using simple, everyday words — and show the problems of using buzzwords and jargon. One good argument against jargon and buzzwords is that there's no clear meaning for them.
In her book, "The Voice of Authority," communications trainer Dianna Booher (www.booher.com) has valuable advice on the way we speak: "If a phrase starts to roll off your tongue (like "hopefully"), don't say it; consider it a cliché — probably a phrase so overused that the meaning has long since been lost." She adds, "Instead, aim for originality and specificity."
For starters, here's part of her list of bureaucratic buzzwords that muddy messages and smudge your image as someone who speaks clearly: "no brainer," "value-added," "incentivize," "core competencies," "thought leaders," "optimization," "deliverables," "right sizing," "impactful," "robust," "branding," "seamless" and "platform."
Booher says it's not just speaking these buzzwords that's so popular.
Stringing these terms together in paragraph after paragraph from document to document makes written communication bland and meaningless.
Want proof?
Just for fun, choose any of the words in Group 1, add any word from Group 2, then add a third from Group 3:
Group 1: incentivize, incubate, innovate, integrate, iterate.
Group 2: holistic, impactful, innovative, integrated, interactive.
Group 3: paradigms, partnerships, platforms, portals, relationships.
Then begin any general sentence and add the three words: "We need to … 'incubate holistic paradigms' for our product." Include the sentence in your next email or meeting. I'll bet no one asks you what you mean.
Think about this way: if you felt strongly attractive to someone, would you say, "I'm experiencing significant stimuli in my affective domain"? Or would you say, "I think Iove you"?

August 28th, 2011 11:35 PMmoments.If you want to get better at graphics, you really do need to step away from icons. Icons are all well and good, but they literally only help you with colouring. Tags can be anything, you don't need to do the strict forum style tags, I actually despise them. :P
You should give it a go, try working on that slightly larger canvas and see where it takes you!
August 28th, 2011 03:19 PMflight;___; no thats fine. It's because I feel incredibly guilty whenever I use someone else's theme. xD I wanna keep working at things...because I want to be as good as you and Gavin and all the other good graphics artists nowadays. My mastery lies primarily within icons, and I'm kinda afraid to try tags. xD;
August 28th, 2011 03:13 PMmoments.:O
Would you like to wear it then? I'm due for a new one anyways. :D
August 28th, 2011 03:07 PMflightboth maybe? @__@; I just love the brightness/contrast settings of your sig...I just cant keep staring at the wolf. XDD;
August 28th, 2011 02:49 PMmoments.:D
Why thank you! Are you addicted to looking at it, or just addicted in general? xP
August 28th, 2011 10:38 AMflightyour theme is really addicting. @__@; especially your sig...
January 4th, 2011 09:04 PMflightAbout 10 or so years. xDD I can get used to blood, but my worst fear is decapitation, and welll...yeah. xDD Other than that, I'm fine with everything.
January 4th, 2011 08:57 PMmoments.Oh wow, does that mean more studying at college or uni or whatever?
I could never be a surgeon, I'm terrible with blood and intestines and things like that. That's why we have people like you to take the reins. :D
January 4th, 2011 05:47 PMflightI initially did, but not anymore, because I felt my skill ran in helping people and assisting people do whatever, pretty much. I then decided that I wanted to take it to the next level and actually be a surgeon, to save people's lives.
January 4th, 2011 05:39 PMmoments.Thanks a lot!
What do you want to pursue a career in? Television/film?
January 4th, 2011 05:37 PMflightNah, that's fine. I do wish you good luck in entering the industry! It's a lot, but it pays off big time.
January 4th, 2011 05:28 PMmoments.Well yeah that's true, and a good piece of inspiration/advice which I am happy and grateful for. :D
And my teacher from theatre studies last year gave an awesome story which inspired me a bit. He said his cousin went for his scuba certificate for fun, then get a forklift license for a part time job he had, then got a light rigging certificate for future possible jobs. Then, in China, they had an underwater light show, and they needed someone with light rigging experience and scuba experience, and he was like the only person, so he got the job and got paid heaps to set up lights underwater.
So basically, the small things all add up, so if I like practise writing and editing and all these things, as hobbies, which I already do and want to continue, that could end up really beneficial! :D
i realize that went off course a bit... lol
January 4th, 2011 05:23 PMflightFilm Industry? Competitive? There are about as many positions in the film industry as there are cookies in a jar. You could be paid thousands of dollars for literally doing nothing but setting up cameras in the right places during certain scenes. Literally. While I can't say that just about anybody can get in(because the film industry is all about money here, and if you want your movie to be funded or something, your script better be perfect), it's good if you have a really creative eye and artistic talent, especially in writing. All in all, you just have to have a good eye for things and you'll be fine, because an omitted mistake can cost big time. D:
January 4th, 2011 05:20 PMmoments.I know what a movie trailer is! In fact, that would be a cool job too!
I'm quite interested in the film industry and would like a career doing it. But I think I'm doing a course in Creative Writing moving into Screenwriting because it is broader, and the film industry is really competitive isn't it? So that gives me more flexibility in case that doesn't work out.
January 4th, 2011 05:14 PMflightInitially, I was forced to, but I grew to like it, and continued to pursue it for 4 years. I'm not in the class now because I thought I would develop disinterest, but now I actually want to go back there again. I was an editor and reporter, and in that class we also do the basics of news. Movie filming I'm not entirely sure about, but movie trailers are definitely an option and there are some really cool movie trailers that I've seen.
In case you don't know what movie trailers are, it's basically say....think of those commercials that you see on TV advertising a particular movie, and showing a scene or something from that movie. That would be, in the film business, known as a movie trailers. Trailers themselves obviously aren't as difficult to make as the movie itself, but it can be some work. It's fun, though. xD

Publisher:Open Univ Pr
Organizing content into six domains of personality functioning (dispositional, biological, intrapsychic, cognitive/experiential, social and cultural, and adjustment), this text interweaves contemporary research with classic and modern theories within the context of each of the domains. This unique framework encourages students to view the "whole person" as the sum of influences and effects of each of the domains of personality functioning. The second edition includes the latest research, as well as a restructuring of material, and continues to bring the subject to life by incorporating a vivid, four-color design.

B.A. Colgate University, Geography & Psychology
I take great pride in my job advocating for geography, science, and social studies education and sharing National Geographic's free resources with educators and students online and in the field. I like to stay on top of education issues and connect directly with educators around what's working in their classrooms and learn what resources organizations like ours can provide to make their lives easier!
In my free time I enjoy practicing the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira, jogging, exploring outdoors, cooking, dancing, listening to talk radio, and reading--mostly non-fiction.

Malin was very accommodating and a good host. The apartment is in a very convenient location in Dublin and has great views of the river. Malin checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was going okay. Enjoyed the experience and would recommend this location to anyone trying to find a great spot on budget.
Malin was a terrific host. She met us on arrival and was available for requests and information. The flat is wonderfully located, just off the noisy section of Temple Bar, within walking distance of major sights and easy to return to in the middle of the day.
The flat was beautiful and sunny and minimal in the best possible way. We got lucky w sunny weather so the little balcony off the bedroom was bliss. Plus also the lovely kitchen table. Also super good hot water! It's a wee bit busy outside but given that it's a minute away from Temple Bar it makes up for that!
Malin was a perfect host although everything you need for a fun stay is right there! Thanks!
Tolle, saubere Wohnung im Zentrum Dublins mit einem tollen Ausblick. Super Betreuung dich die Gastgeberin Malin und Ihre Familie.
This apartment was better than we expected - the photos don't do it the justice it deserves. It was very spacious for a family of 4 adults. It is in a gated complex and we felt very safe. Access is up stairs.
The bedrooms are at the back of the apartment and very quiet for sleeping. The kitchen is huge with a fridge, microwave, stove, washing machine, coffee maker and a dishwasher. The washroom has a tub and shower.
It is very conveniently located within walking distance to everything Dublin. The sunrise view over the bridges is beautiful. I would recommend this location to everybody.
Malin is a great communicator, met us at our scheduled location and showed us around the apartment. We had no problems whatsoever. Thank you Malin for the opportunity to stay. We brought back wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
We enjoyed our stay in Malin's apartment. Great view of the river and people watching from the living room and kitchen. Recommended!
Malins Appartment is perfectly located in a very nice area. A very good bakery and a lot of nice Pubs and Restaurants are just around the corner. The Appartment is very nice, quer and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much. Malin was very helpful and always in contact, when wie needed her.

About the Host, Malin
A women in her 30 something ( young one that is..) that is renting out two apartments in temple bar old quarters. Doing this for "work" as I have two young children to care for and childcare is mad expensive, -yes they come along when I meet you for your checkin or come over if there is a hand needed with anything.
I have a background in hotel and catering for the last 15 years, so I hope I know what I'm doing and that you enjoy staying with us. I don't provide welcoming baskets on a very simply theory - if I put in and give full fat milk, there will be a preference of low fat and the other way around. Or in simple English, I hate to throw away food just because I got your preference wrong.
Other then that I'm easy going, don't like complications as there is always a solution if you want it, love to travel ( yes.. On pause right now, but will be back in business in a year or three) and love good food. Born in Sweden, but lived in Dublin the last 15 years and love it!

It's not the number of years, its the number of awesome stories.
Hey I'm Will. I'm finally back in Maryland after bouncing around the world for school and work. I like basically every sport and like staying active. I've traveled to and lived in several other countries so have made some great stories along the way, hoping to continue that trend. You'll see in the pictures that I can be pretty silly and goofy but there's a grown up side as well. Business professional and oldest brother of 3 so I had to grow up early. Still always up for some silly adventure and meeting new people, though! Want to know more, send me a message :) Will

The family has an adorable Chesapeake Bay Retriever and an Alaskan Malamute. I'd like my own dog soon.
Middle of the Road
Well here's a problem ... I HAD a lot of places but now that I'm back in Maryland I am in need of a spark again. Standards are downtown Annapolis and any seafood place with a dock bar along the Bay. But again, in search of newer fun places.
Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, VA
I'll do pretty much anything for fun ... half marathon, road trips, playing some really cheap yet temporarily addicting computer game, watch Archer, bowling, people watch ... if you can't keep me entertained, then we're just not going to get along :)
Currently reading the 5th Game of Thrones book ... just want to finish this marathon!

Halle Berry's Wedding Dress: A Local Expert's Picks
The manager of a Chevy Chase bridal salon selects four gowns that would suit the sexy star.
Whether Halle Berry is actually engaged to Olivier Martinez is still up for debate, but being the starry-eyed, wedding-obsessed dreamers that we are, we're just going to assume that ring on her finger means she and the French actor are heading down the aisle.
We asked Leeza Isaac, the manager of Chevy Chase Bridal, to select four wedding gowns that would suit the X-Men actress. Vote for your favorite in our poll at the bottom of the post.
1) Anne Bowen
"This gown is red-carpet- and aisle-worthy at the same time. It's sexy and just made for someone with Halle Berry's amazing figure."
2) Two by Rosa Clara
"Reminiscent of Berry's 2002 Oscars dress."
3) Douglas Hannant
"This gown would highlight Berry's toned arms and neckline. Also, since this is her third marriage, she might feel uncomfortable wearing a gown with a huge train. This gown has a shorter train—still traditional, but not over the top."
4) Legends by Romona Keveza
"This slinky number is perfect for a small destination wedding, which might appeal to a bride who said she would never marry again."

Pope Francis compared the recent killing of Christians by terrorist groups such as ISIS to the persecution of the Christian church in the first century while celebrating the feast of the apostles Peter and Paul on Monday.
In his homily, Francis used a passage from the book of Acts to illustrate how the early Church was "besieged by persecution."
He said first century Christians were "harshly persecuted by Herod who 'laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the Church … proceeded to arrest Peter also … and when he had seized him he put him in prison." more >>
Close to 100 evangelical and Roman Catholic leaders in the U.S. have united in a message calling on Christians to act on their "moral obligation" to fight climate change, which they also called a pro-life issue, following on Pope Francis' environmental encyclical released last week.
"As Catholic and evangelical leaders, we are deeply inspired by Pope Francis' encyclical addressing our shared responsibility to be prudent stewards of creation. Pope Francis has issued a bold call to action, and the clock is ticking on a challenge that requires a collective effort in service of the global common good," the religious leaders said in a full-page advertisement on the back page of Politico.
"As citizens of the most powerful nation in human history, we have a unique responsibility to promote sustainable development, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and build a thriving culture of life that protects human dignity," they added. more >>
Some Christian gun owners disagree with Pope Francis' statement that people who manufacture or invest in weapons cannot call themselves Christians.
Francis issued his strongest condemnation of guns during his visit to the Italian city of Turin on Sunday, saying, "If you trust only men, you have lost."
He added: "It makes me think of people, managers, businessmen who call themselves Christian and they manufacture weapons. That leads to a bit of distrust, doesn't it?" more >>
Pope Francis has spent time praying before the Shroud of Turin in a two-day visit to the city this weekend, joining hundreds of thousands who in the past two months have stopped to pay their respects to what some believe is the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
Although the Vatican has never publicly declared whether it considers the shroud an actual relic belonging to Jesus, Francis told the audience at mass in Turin that the cloth is an "icon of love."
"The shroud attracts toward the face and the martyred body of Jesus and at the same time pushes us toward the face of those who suffer or are unjustly persecuted," he said, according to Catholic Herald. more >>
Several evangelical groups have praised Pope Francis' major encyclical on the environment released on Thursday, which warns that climate change is real and is impacting all of God's creation, including impoverished people in different corners of the world. Francis said that it's wrong to treat nature and other living creatures as "mere objects" for "human domination."
"We are grateful that the pope has joined with over 300 Evangelicals like Rick Warren, Rich Stearns, and Bill Hybels, and other Christian leaders who understand climate change is the greatest moral challenge of our time and the greatest opportunity for hope. It's time to make hope happen by fueling the unstoppable clean energy transition, stopping the ideological battles, and working together," said in a statement Rev. Mitch Hescox, president & CEO, Evangelical Environmental Network.
"Creating a new energy economy that benefits all and addresses climate change is not about a political party but living as a disciple of Jesus Christ. We urge all people of good will, especially fellow Christian conservatives, to read and study these timely words from Pope Francis." more >>
Pope Francis has hit back against those who say that focusing on the poor is a sign of communism, by stating in a speech that caring for the less fortunate is part of the Christian Gospel. He also said that if "faith doesn't reach your pockets, it is not a genuine faith."
Vatican Radio reported that Francis made the comments during mass on Tuesday in the chapel of the Domus Sanctae Marthae, where he said: "Oh, this priest speaks about poverty too much, this bishop talks about poverty, this Christian, this sister talk about poverty. Well, they're a bit communist, aren't they?"
The Roman Catholic Church leader asserted that "poverty is at the very center of the Gospel: If we remove poverty from the Gospel, no one would be able to understand anything about the message of Jesus." more >>

I have
UITabViewController running with
UINavigationController. In each tab i have a different
TableViews that are roots of my application tree.
When i click an item of table, it goes to next level viewing another, detailed
TableView, still having
TabBar and
NavigationBar on screen. It works perfectly, except for one thing. If i'm viewing details in one tab, then switch to another tab, and go back again, then i still see my detail. What i want to achieve, is to reset tab after leaving it.
I expect that i have to put something in
viewDidUnload or simmilar, but couldn't find the right solution.
Hope you can help.
