Covering diverse topics such as improving workflow and managing CSS styles, Dreamweaver CS3 Beyond the Basics is a hands-on course that teaches users how to move beyond standard, static websites. Instructor James Williamson explores how to increase productivity, interactivity, and accessibility with Dreamweaver. He also discusses how to extend the application's capabilities with XML and XSL. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.
In our previous movie we created a template for our Cheek Chastain Site. Now we will explore creating new pages based off the template and how to apply the template to pre-existing pages. As we mentioned previously, if you look at the Files panel, we have the templates folder on the root of our site and inside we have our cheek_main.dwt. Now when you upload your site later you don't necessarily have to make sure that templates go along. All of the template code is Dreamweaver specific; you may have noticed that it was in a HTML comment tag. So browsers will ignore it but Dreamweaver understands that it needs to do something. So this is can stay local if you want it to. If you are sharing it with a group, of course, you will want to upload it.
Well you don't create a new page from a template by double clicking on the template. That would open up the template all allow you to Edit it. So there are a couple of different ways to do that, and let's explore them. If we go to File and choose New-- From the New Document dialog box that comes up, on the left hand side notice that we have page from template and if I click on that, I get to go to all my sites and I can click on the chapter6 site and look at the cheek_main. When I select that, I see a preview of what the page is going to look like on the right hand side. Now based on what CSS you are using or whether you are using any default, it may look a little different. Ours, for example, is looking unstyled right now, although we know it's going have a CSS attached to it.
Now I am actually going to hit cancel because although that's a very easy way and a very visual way of doing it. I think that there is maybe even an easier way. Next to your Files panel, you are going to see an Assets panel, so go ahead and click on the Assets panel. Of all your asset categories in there and all these categories are listed accounts on the left hand side. The second icon from the bottom is template, so if you don't have that one selected click on it now. This is going to show you a list of all the templates in your site and right now we only have the one. Now if you are on a Mac you want to Ctrl +Click this, but if you are on a PC you will want to just Right Click it and as you do that you can choose New from Template. So go ahead and Right Click the cheek_main and say New from Template.
It creates a brand new page for us, and we have got all of our editable regions on the page. So we will go ahead and throw in some content here. Now rather than forcing you to type a bunch of content, we have a text file with some content inside of it already that we are going to use for our main content. So, let's go back to the Files panel. So if you are following along with me, you are going to want to find the _text folder in chapter6 directory, open that up, and Double Click the about_text. So we are going to recreate our about page. Go ahead and select all the text on a page and copy it. Once you have copied it feel free to go ahead and close the text file. I am going to move over to where my default heading is and I am going to go ahead and highlight that entire region and I am going to paste my copy.
So you can see our text comes in and there is about text. Now because this was in the editable region there are certain things that we can change. For example, all our content should be pasted inside the DIV that says newsarea. Well we are not on the news page anymore, so we need to change that id. I will use the Tag Selector to do that. Click anywhere inside your new text and just go ahead and go down to your Tag Selector and either Right Click or Ctrl+Click that and choose Quick Tag Editor. That will come up and from our ids -- we get a list that comes up, and this list is actually populated from your CSS. So it can prevent a lot of typing. I am going to scroll up and I want to find the aboutArea id.
So I will select aboutArea and hit Enter and that will replace the newsarea. Now we are now going to see any immediate change, but now it has defined as aboutArea and all the content inside of that will be styled using that CSS instead of the newsarea CSS. Let's go ahead and add some formatting to our text. I am going to click in the headline Our Gallery Your Gallery and I will change its formatting using the Property inspector to Heading 1. I will scroll down the page and I will set change directions to heading 2, and The Cheek Chastain Gallery heading must also be a heading 2 so go ahead and do that.
Now we have made some significant changes to our files. So we are going to go ahead and save this. So go up to File and choose Save. Now you want to browse to your root directory, which in this case when we defined our site is the starting file, and we are actually going to save this as about.htm. So we are going to overwrite the existing about file. So go ahead and hit save and it's going to ask us if we want to replace it and we are going to say yes. Now we are almost finished with this. we just need to place a couple of images on the page. Place your cursor right in front of the C in Cheek Chastain and I am going to open up my images directory from my Files panel. Now I could do this from the Assets panel as well, but it's just as easy to do from the Files panel. What I need to do is just browse and find my image.
So I am going to scroll down and there is a file that is the information2.jpeg and you may actually need to expand that out a little bit so that you can see it, but if you can't see the title you can always hover over it and Dreamweaver will pop it up in a tool tip. So we will go ahead and select that and I am just going to drag that and drop it right in front of the Sea in Cheek Chastain. It's going to ask me for some alternative text, so I will just say About Cheek Chastain and it pops my image on the page.
I need one more image and that will go right in front of Directions and it happens to be the infomap.gif, so it's right above our information2 JPEG and I will just drag it right above Directions and we will go ahead and give it an alt text of Cheek Chastain Map, now there is our map. So we will scroll up, save our file, and let's test it in our browser. As we test it, everything looks pretty good; hold on, there is a problem, we haven't change our banner graphic out yet, it's still indicating that the news is the current page so we need to change both of those.
So let's take a look at how we edit those attributes. Let's go back in to Dreamweaver and what I want you to do is go up to the menu and go to Modify and choose Template Properties. So, Modify > Template Properties, this is going to list any template parameters that you might have in our later exercises we will see how we can create these template parameters ourselves, but right now we are dealing with the template parameters that we created when we made editable regions. So let's go ahead and change out our banner alt text and we will go ahead and just highlight that and we will type in About Cheek Chastain. Then we will select our banner image and we will change that out. Now because we told Dreamweaver to the type of attribute was URL, it gives us this nice little browse folder and I am just going to browse and I am going to go in my images directory, banners, and I will find the about banner. And I will ahead and choose that and the document styles are going to stay the same, so we won't change that, but current page has changed.
So we are going to change the current page from News to About, and again, we will go ahead and click OK. Notice that now our gallery info is indicated as the current page and our banner graphic has changed. So we will save that again, test it in our browser, and there we go; gallery info is now indicated as the current page. All the rest of my links are now active including News and we have got the banner graphic that corresponds to the About Page; so there we go, we are done. So let's go ahead and quit Firefox and go back into Dreamweaver. Now through the use of templates we built a new page for our site in less than half the time that it would have taken us without using templates.
So next we will take an existing page from our site and apply our template to it to convert it to our template workflow.

Facebook Application Turns Machines into Bots
5 September 2008 By: Denisa Ilascu, Internet / SEO News Editor Facebook Application Turns Machines into Bots Greek researchers prove how applications can be employed in hacks A group of researchers from the Foundation for Research & Technology Hellas, the Institute of Computer Science Greece, has demonstrated the threats that can be employed via Facebook applications. The scientists created a simple application, called "Picture of the "Picture of the Day" Day," which promised to display one impressive National Geographic picture a day. Facebook application employed in white-hat The scientists managed to prove what they had been suspecting from the beginning - that hack people are enthusiastic about any new gadget, allowing themselves to be blinded by it, and bryanwolski forgetting about taking at least minimal protection measures against threats. The same also happened to the subjects of this particular experiment - who didn't know that they were in fact tracked. Whenever someone clicked on the image, their computer became a bot in a network created by the researchers. "We have placed special code in the application's source code, so that every time a user views the photo, HTTP requests are generated towards a victim host. More precisely, the application embeds four hidden frames with inline images hosted at the victim. Each time the user clicks inside the application, the inline images are fetched from the victim, causing the victim to serve a request of 600 Kbytes, but the user is not aware of that fact (the images are never displayed)." the team explained in a report recently issued. Although the Greek researchers did not advertise in any way the app they had created, rumors about "Picture of the Day" made the rounds among their colleagues, and then spread unexpectedly fast. In the first few days of the experiment, the machines of approximately 1,000 unwary people from all over the world became bots. "We have shown that applications that live inside a social network can easily and very quickly attract a large user-base (in the order of millions of users) that can be redirected to attack a victim host. We experimentally determined the user-base to be highly distributed, and of a world-wide scale. Finally, we have shown that the victim of a FaceBot attack may be subject to an attack that will cause it to serve data of the magnitude of GigaBytes per day." the researchers said, underscoring that their attack had been virtually harmless, which is certainly not the case with a real botnet offensive.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- New Mexico (18-6, 7-4 MWC) women's basketball will travel to San Diego, Calif., Saturday to face San Diego State at 3 p.m. MT inside Cox Arena. The Lobos and Aztecs (17-6, 8-3 MWC) enter Saturday's game in a tight battle for position in the Mountain West Conference regular-season standings. SDSU is currently third in the league while New Mexico is fourth and a game back. Saturday will be WBCA Pink Zone day for the Aztecs. The Lobos will wear pink uniforms and shoes during the contest. Radio is available on 610 AM The Sports Animal with gametracker and live video on www.GoLobos.com.
The Lobos are coming off a 52-37 victory over BYU Tuesday. Senior Angela Hartill scored a team-high 18 points against the Cougars and had her highest point total since Dec. 16 when she scored 20 points against UTEP. Hartill hit five of her 12 shots from the field against BYU and made seven of her nine free throws. Junior Amy Beggin reached double figures for the 16th straight time after scoring 17. The Lobos have won back-to-back conference games and have momentum heading into San Diego.
The Aztecs are one of the most talented teams in the MWC and currently sit in third place in the conference standings. SDSU dropped a 64-61 decision at Wyoming Sunday and set the stage for a key battle Saturday with the Lobos. The Aztecs had three players score in double figures against the Cowgirls. Sophomore Paris Johnson had 15 points, six blocks and four steals. Wyoming dominated the boards and outrebounded the Aztecs, 44-to-25.
The Lobos have donated the Aztec series since Don Flanagan took over prior to the 1995-96 season. Flanagan is 25-4 all-time against San Diego State but on Jan. 21, 2009 the Aztecs snapped a 19-game UNM winning streak. SDSU beat New Mexico earlier this year, 57-52, inside The Pit. It was the first victory for the Aztecs inside The Pit since 1995. New Mexico leads the all-time series 25-14.
The SDSU and UNM series started to heat up last year. The Lobos and Aztecs reached the MWC Championship finals and New Mexico earned the automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament. The Lobos defeated SDSU, 62-59, in one of the most intense championship games in the history over the Mountain West Conference.
Earlier this year, San Diego State shocked the Lobos on their home court. New Mexico was led by Beggin's 13 points. Johnson had a double-double against the Lobos with 17 points and 11 points. Aztec junior Jene Morris had nine points in the game including a key steal in the final minute that clinched the victory for SDSU. The Lobos were in the game until the every end but shot a dismal 2-of-11 from behind the arc. UNM was 0-for-7 from long range in the second half.

A Bryan man admits to killing a Blinn College Student after a drug deal in October 2011.
23-year-old Clayton Thompson was sentenced to 45 years in prison as part of a plea deal for shooting 19-year-old Billy Menard, Junior.
Thompson as well as two other men, Travis Carroll and Christopher Hernandez were arrested for the death of Billy Menard.
Investigators say Carroll sold Menard some marijuana and Menard became angry over the quality of it and refused to pay.
Menard was shot and killed at his residence at the Wilde Oak Apartments in Bryan.
Trials are still pending for the other two suspects.

Gear Question
I have exactly a 59-cm head and I don't...
I have exactly a 59-cm head and I don't know if I should go with a medium or large, I hate when there's overlap. Do the helmets fit big or small, what do I go with? I wear my goggles over my helmet and I like a good fit.
Brandon Collett
The large is for heads 58-60 cm so I think that would fit your head a little better than the med.
Exactly a 59 cm measurement here as well. I bought the medium and it fits perfectly. Not tight, just right.

Oklahoma City Thunder
Toronto Raptors
The story so far
Toronto has a spot on the playoffs pretty close to wrapped up, They are in the 5 spot right now with a three game lead over 8th. The Thunder got back on track with a win over Minnesota, after looking tired and worn down against the Suns and Spurs the Thunder looked much more rested against the Wolves. Tonight the Thunder face a surprisingly good Raptor team. Playing without Bosh didn't seem to hurt them against the Cavs whom they took to overtime so expect a game tonight.
The Matchups
Jarrett Jack v Russell Westbrook
Between Jack and Calderon the Raptors have two solid options at the point, and regardless of who starts expect to see both get some good playing time. Jack has been the better option lately and so he...

DALLAS (AP) The big reveal of the new Big Tex has been moved up.
The 55-feet tall rebuilt Big Tex was set to be officially unveiled on Friday, the opening day of the State Fair of Texas. But on Thursday, television news helicopters got a glimpse of the top portion of the fair icon surrounded on four sides by draping.
Fair officials then announced that due to the wind, they would do the unveil Thursday afternoon.
Big Tex was rebuilt for this year after going up in flames in the closing days of the fair last year.
Helicopter footage showed him wearing a light-colored cowboy hat and a shirt of red, white and blue with stars.

Alone, Sam France and Jonathan Rado are just a couple of 22-year-olds with dense record collections and cute faces. Together, they're Foxygen—purveyors of throwback psych-pop. Last year, they converted a New York City bedroom into a makeshift studio and recorded Take the Kids Off Broadway on four-tracks. Then they signed to Jagjaguwar, which describes the duo as "the raw, de-Wes Andersonization of The Rolling Stones, Kinks, Velvets, Bowie, etc. that a whole mess of young people desperately need."
Those '60s influences course through Foxygen's music, but Take the Kids Off Broadway is idiosyncratic. None of these songs fit any previously established songwriting structure. Opening track "Abandon My Toys" quivers uncomfortably with fluctuating tempos and a Ziggy Stardust glow. Every time France latches onto a vocal hook, the instrumentation spasms and convulses and the song falls apart. "Make It Known" attempts to restrain those spasms with chilled-out arrangement of organ and horns. Crooning like an adolescent Eric Burdon, France pleads during the chorus, "I'm willing to change, I'm willing to change."
Foxygen's spontaneity is refreshing. France and Rado sound like they're having fun together, letting their instruments lead the way and singing along when it's appropriate. The rollicking "Waitin' 4 U" exemplifies this, as France mimics Mick Jagger's vocal delivery with scary accuracy. Take the Kids Off Broadway lags only when Foxygen begins meandering. The ten-minute "Teenage Alien Blues" bogs down the record's latter half with goofball noise experiments that should've never left the demo tape, and the dawdling "Why Did I Get Married?" also fails to live up to its cool title. Fortunately, Foxygen end the album with the infectious "Middle School Dance", a piano ballad that descends into a noisy freak-out and France reciting a monologue: "I've learned how to be a man, how to not walk around with my head in the sand."
Take the Kids Off Broadway is homemade, but it isn't half-baked. And the fact that France and Rado live on separate ends of the country (Olympia, WA and NYC, respectively) makes this LP that much more endearing. It's got that first-take impulsiveness to it, full of tics and eccentricities, and that lack of pretention lets us see Foxygen as the characters they truly are.
Essential Tracks: "Abandon My Toys", "Make It Known"

Ok, this is actually a continuation of a rant I posted in the Go-kan-ryu karate thread, where I just couldn't understand how some crap like Go-kan-ryu karate menages to charge 10$ a lesson and expand so much that they are now an international franchise, while US JUDO clubs for the most part struggle with about 10 students per class even though the HIGHLY QUALIFIED Sensai's are TEACHING 6 DAYS A WEEK FOR FREE!!!
Thats right, it is killing me that my Sensai spends countless hours without any financial reimbursement (not that he asks for it but he damn well DESERVES IT) and still has to suffer the indignity that sometimes only 4 students will show up while the worst cookie-cutter TKD MCDOJO right across the street is always packed with 30 people or so.
Now to give a little background, my Sensei is Godan (very high black belt) who trained in Japan's Kodokan, won many MAJOR competitions (almost Olympian) and honest to god I saw him tap out Cris Owen and Tony Dimino during a seminar, both legitament Gracie Barra Black Belts. Since I trained Judo like forever, I know that this is not an exception and I know that in most clubs I have been at 8-10 students showing up was a good day.
So now, my question is WHY THE HELL ARE YOU NOT DOING JUDO??? I mean it is DIRT CHEAP, (in my club rates are 30$-40$/month unlimited and we will even drive you to it if needed be, no testing fees etc.) effective (just watch Olympia, see where BJJ came from or google Kimura vs. Helio Gracie) and thought by the people who genuinely love the art/sport and have no hidden motives whatsoever but to impart their knowledge and further Judo.
So now if you are doing Muay Thai don't you think you could tightened up your grappling/ground game a little bit for practically FREE??? If you doing BJJ don't you think you can improve your takedowns and get a fresh look at newaza for, ooooo I don't know FREE??? If you are grossly out of shape and lack self-confidence wouldn't you want to lose weight AND gain the self-confidence from knowing you can effectively kick ass, again not for 180$, not 140$ not 120$ but practically FREE? If you want your kids to learn discipline and hard work while being in a safe environment surrounded by good guys volunteering their time instead of egomaniacs and tools , wouldn't you want to give Judo a try for FREE???
So again, I respectfully repeat my question, WHY THE F*$^$K ARE YOU NOT DOING JUDO, and why the F&&$K do we need to settle with 8-10 people max attending any one class??? (Although it is getting a little better now)
Thank for listening,
PS. Before I forget, if you are doing Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Aikido, Wing Chun, Krotty, TKD or anything with DO at the end and you don't quit RIGHT AFTER READING THIS POST, because you put already so much time into it and don't want to lose your "progress", I will seriously volunteer to give you an ASS-KICKING you won't soon forget. Also, if you don't give your friendly Judo Dojo a try and you are paying more then 100$ for any of the above mentioned, I will even offer to give you the above mentioned ass-kicking FOR FREE!!!

Style: Using bag as aggro outlet--
I have asked myself this question a lot.
Dojo etiquette requires the removal of shoes. I require my footwear to increase my mobility
Judo forbids crossfaces, toeholds, full nelsons and all the other stuff I'm quite good at
A blackbelt judoka told me single legging an opponent is ineffective (but I think he was just being egotistical)
I beat up a judoka in a grudge match and we weighed exactly the same at the time (55kg. I now weigh about 88-90kg)
Lastly, there was a Japanese martial arts demonstration on the main stage in Brisbane square. Much later there was a European martial arts demonstration on that very same stage. The trick would be to get them to fight each other, like putting predatory insects in a jar and shaking vigourously.What am I?:
I am ignorant, thieving, lying, hypocrital, violent and thoroughly self obssessed. I steal from others to make myself look better, only to make the item or information worse.
I go on and on and ON about how brave and strong and brilliant and wealthy I am, but in the end I'm all mouth and no trousers.
That's right children, I'm your average AMERICUNT! and I exemplify AMERICA!:911flag:
JohnnyCache's "retort" proving how much he knows about medicine and geography and First World countries:
Yes, through persistent lack of work and the cultivation of ignorance, he is a true American.

However, while it pains me to say this, it fucking pisses me off that I can't wear wrestling boots to Judo (at the closest club), it's bullshit.

Decoupage Tutorial
Step 1) Pick out a good candidate for your decoupage project. Pick an item that will highlight your efforts. I picked an old chair I had redone over 15 years ago.
Step2) Assemble your material to decoupage and plan your color scheme. I picked the one below however I ran into some trouble!
I picked these "Punch Studios" napkins along with a luscious red can of "mistints" from Sherwin Williams. (Hint, these high quality napkins can be found on Ebay and Amazon and the mistints are $1.00 @SW!) I had this wonderful fabric for the seat.
Step3) First Paint your chair! I painted it red first, but sadly that didn't work out and even though I loved the red I changed it to white for the sake of this tutorial! I will show you below WHY it didn't work. Assemble your equipment. Mod Podge, brush, decoupage napkin and I keep a bit of water handy along with a paper towel for "oops".
Step 4) With the decorative napkins you peel off two layers of tissue paper. The first comes off real easy, but the second takes some good eyes and fingernails! You can see how thin it is below.
Now get your brush wet with a moderate layer of Mod Podge, and paint the area you are working on a patch at a time. Press down your picture. Apply light pressure, but BEFORE you apply your picture MAKE SURE it is EXACTLY what you want and WHERE you want it! Lightly press out as many wrinkles as you can and let dry.
Step 5) After the initial layer of Mod Podge drys, add a coat on top and let that dry. It looks hazy going on but dries clear. Let each layer dry and repeat, so that you have three topcoats of Mod Podge. This is where I saw I was in trouble!
Even though I had painted white in spots for my birds I noticed how UGLY the decoupage looked on the red! OH NO! Well never fear! Back to the basement and some sand paper to get it off and some warm water…..Two hours later, I had a white chair ready to Mod Podge!
Same process all over again!! So that it would look like this! here we go again…three coats of Mod Podge, and drying in-between!
I then distressed the chair a bit to show the lovely red underneath, and then added some cute vintage stamps I had on hand, because it looked a bit too bare to me.
Step 6) Now VERY importantly add several coats of polycrylic. I usually use Minwax. You can get semi gloss or matte finish. Next it was off to Hancock Fabrics, the closest one to me!
Oh No! Here comes the crazy lady with her chairs???!!
It may seem silly but many fabrics you think will look good don't! If an item is small enough I always take it with me! I ended up getting a very reasonably priced red burlap not because of the price but it really looked the best to me!
A cute little doll makes everything look better!
Below are some other things I have decoupaged.
Thanks so much for looking! Please leave a comment and feel free to ask any questions!
Happy decoupaging!!!!! and remember:
"If I can do it, so can YOU!"

I went with my wife in late august. I'll admit I felt a little under dressed for the atmosphere. I had the calamari which was melt in your mouth tender and the fried peppers were delicate and delicious. I also had the chicken fettuccinni which was just your typical chicken, pasta, and cream sauce. My wife had the salmon with bowtie pasta which was also delicious because it wasn't fishy at all. I would definately go back for the calamari.

Unfortunately, our boss picked this place for our holiday dinner. It was mid week and the restaurant was empty. It was decorated beautifully for the holidays. Our waiter was rude and made cruel comments to some of the people at our table. 5 of us ordered the Zuppa di Pesce. One of the dinners came out without the lobster. When questioned, the waiter said that they ran out of lobster but gave her more shrimp. The waiter never told us and should have offered the person something else to order before bringing the dish out. There was no additional shrimp but it didnt matter because the shrimp was inedible. It tasted mealy and old. Some of us had the filet mignon with shrimp franchese. The meat was poor quality and the shrimp was also old and inedible. I would not recommend this place to anyone and would never go again.

I have been here many times over the years and have always been satisfied in all categories! So have people I have taken here.

Went with 2 other people. They both enjoyed really their dishes, fettucini and ravioli. I got the lobster risotto which was slightly below average. Would NOT recommend this place to anyone due to the poor service. There is other great italian food along Mulberry with fine service. Our waiter was this guy who argued with the table behind us after they complained about one of their dishes - the waiter was surprisingly rude to them. Then the bill came, and despite our party being limited to 3 people, they had already added a 20% gratuity. I normally tip 20% on my own, but I was pretty offended and it was a bit presumptuous on their end in light of the poor service. The waiter seemed to rush everyone through ordering their meals and never came back to check on the table after dinner was served. All around very poor service.

(1) This revises IRM 8.10.3, Appeals Inventory Validation Process.
Material Changes
(1) Revised IRM to reflect new organizational titles resulting from the Appeals 2012 Alignment Project.
Effect on Other DocumentsThis supersedes IRM 8.10.3 dated June 4, 2009.
Effective Date(10-01-2012)
Susan L. Latham
Director, Policy, Quality and Case Support
All employees who establish cases on the Appeals Centralized Database System (ACDS), and who are assigned cases and tax returns for resolution of tax matters, are responsible for controlling Appeals inventory of case files and tax returns.
This section establishes requirements for inventory validations to ensure all case files and tax returns in the possession of Appeals are controlled on ACDS and that data reflected in the database is accurately reflected.
Inventory validation is important because it ensures the following:
Proper control of case inventory in Appeals' jurisdiction.
Verification of statute of limitations dates.
Accuracy of Appeals ACDS database.
Validating inventory, statute dates, and database accuracy requires using physical validation and automated validation methods.
Appeals Inventory Validation Process (AIVP) is commonly called the "ACDS Drawer-to-List Validation" .
Appeals Managers are responsible for completing this process jointly with their employees who are assigned an inventory of cases.
The annual physical inventory validation does not relieve employees of statute verification upon receipt of the case as outlined in IRM 8.21.1.
For efficiency, managers are encouraged to complete the validation in conjunction with a workload review when possible.
Managers validate cases closed to them with no ACAP date input.
Each Appeals office conducts a physical inventory validation of all assigned cases in Appeals jurisdiction at least once during the fiscal year.
Generally the validation occurs during the first half of the fiscal year and includes all open cases within the jurisdiction of the Appeals organization. However, the dates of the AIVP may change each year as directed by Headquarters.
Inventory included in the validation process is ALL open inventory assigned to employees who establish cases on the Appeals Centralized Database System (ACDS), and who are assigned cases and tax returns for resolution of tax matters.
A properly performed annual inventory validation identifies:
Cases in possession of an Appeals Officer but not controlled on ACDS.
Cases controlled on ACDS but not in the possession of an Appeals employee.
Erroneous statute of limitation dates.
Conduct the physical inventory validation in accordance with instructions issued by Headquarters.
At least once each fiscal year, each Appeals office also validates the accuracy of the ACDS database in accordance with instructions provided by Appeals Headquarters.
Database accuracy validation ensures that ACDS is as accurate as possible at all times. It is very important to identify and correct errors as early in a case's life as possible.
Account and Processing Support (APS) and Field Operations share responsibility for data accuracy.
Accuracy of the ACDS database is critical to Appeals for -
Determining staffing needs for specific work streams and all Appeals.
Identifying training needs for Appeals employees.
Creating Feedback Loop information for IRS Operating Divisions.
Filtering cases that may not be eligible for an appeal.
Other reasons vital to Appeals business operations.
Ensure all tax returns and/or return equivalents in the possession of the employee are properly controlled on ACDS.
Physically inspect each case file and compare the tax return and/or return equivalent to a current ACDS Case Inventory Listing for the employee.
The validation process varies from year to year depending on the greatest areas of concern.
Each year Headquarters decides if validation of database accuracy will consist of a 100% review of all Appeals inventory or if it will be limited to fewer cases, work streams, critical fields, etc.
Headquarters uses statistical sampling, to the extent possible, to lessen the burden on field operations.
When available, use technology to validate the database.
Manager notes errors in "Red" on the ACDS Case Inventory Listing and forwards the listing to APS for correction.
APS updates ACDS accordingly, and returns the ACDS Case Listing to the requesting manager as confirmation the updates are complete.
Once confirmation is received, the manager verifies the corrections were made. Manager certifies validation is complete to their manager through their Technical Advisor.
See Exhibit 8.10.3-1. This exhibit provides a template to use as the Managerial Certification Memorandum.
Appeals Technical Personnel includes ALL employees who establish cases on the Appeals Centralized Database System (ACDS), and who are assigned cases and tax returns for resolution of tax matters.
Generate a current ACDS Case Inventory Listing as follows:
ACDS Case Inventory List is located under Reports - Case Inventory Reports - AO listing.
Employee's name defaults to their name automatically.
Sort inventory by "KEYCASE" and "TPNAME " .
DO NOT check the box that reads - Include Closed Cases in Inventory.
Select the button option that reads - Print Part 3 and related work unit numbers (WUNO) separately at bottom of the listing.
Generate a current ACDS Case Inventory Listing as follows:
Step Action Required 1 Select "APS Inventory Case Listing" located under - APS - Reports - IVL 2 Select "Just Cases in Inventory" 3 Sort by TPNAME
Generate and work the following reports:
PEAS Inventory Listing
ACDS Unassigned Report – Select the 2nd option and then select Action
SHIPPED Follow-up Report - Add one year to the follow-up date
Statutory Notice Report
Answer Y to question whether to include NPS cases.
Enter Beginning SN Issued Date: Subtract one year from default date (first date of current month less one year).
Enter Ending SN Issued Date: Use default date (last date of current month).
Answer Y to question whether to print the earliest Statute Date.
REJECT Follow-Up Report - Add one year to the follow-up date.
STIPFF Follow Up Report (Stipulated Decision Documents for Filing).
Identify as "Part 3" on the ACDS Case Inventory Listings. No other verification is required for these cases.
Update the data field for the "Part" accordingly if cases in Counsel's possession do not reflect "Part 3" on the ACDS Case Inventory Listing.
Validate cases in the Appeals' possession that are listed as "Part 3" on the ACDS Inventory Case listing and update the "Part" field to "Part 2" .
ATM and the technical employee assigned the case on ACDS validate the TCS inventory. TCS working the tax computation request is not responsible for validating the case.
TCS does not need to generate an open inventory listing.
When a case is on a technical employee's ACDS Case Inventory Listing but physically located in APS, the ATM and technical employee research ACDS to determine whether the case is assigned on PEAS.
Managers – Annotate cases ACDS Case Inventory Listing with "no ACAP date and not on PEAS" and provide it to the PTM for analysis.
Record the Missing Case Report with cases or tax returns that are not located.
Forward the report to the Technical Advisor as an attachment to the Managerial Certification Memorandum. Include plan of action of how case was resolved on the Missing Case Report.
See Exhibit 8.10.3-2. This exhibit contains a template for the Missing Case Report.
Collection casework is defined as follows:
Offer In Compromise (OIC) Cases
Collection Due Process (CDP) Cases
Equivalent Hearing (EH) Cases
Trust Fund Recovery Penalty (TFRP) Cases
Settlement Officers and Collection Specialists will ensure all Collection cases are properly controlled on ACDS, CDPTS and IDRS and will validate the accuracy of the Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED) as follows:
Type of Case Review Required OIC Timeliness to ensure request for an Appeal was timely made. CDP
Review TXMODs (or other transcripts) that TC 520 cc 76 or 77 is posted with the correct date.
Review the Case Summary Card (CSC) that SUSP is posted under CODE in the Summary Return Information section of the CSC. IRM 184.108.40.206.4.6
Review TXMODs (or other transcripts) that a TC 520 cc 76 or 77 is not posted.
Verify the CSC that the oldest CSED date is listed under STATDATE and "CSED" under CODE.
If the CSC has multiple periods, the oldest CSED and "CSED" is only listed once.
Assessed TFRP (Claim) Cases Verify:
The CSED date for each tax period matches the CSED date on IDRS, and;
The statute code is CSED.
Unassessed TFRP (TBOR2) Cases Verify:
Letter 1153 (DO) was issued by Collection prior to the expiration of the ASED,
The appeal (protest) was timely,
The POA (Form 2848) is valid,
All periods listed on Form 2751 are listed on the case summary card,
The statute code is TBOR2, and;
The statute date is not listed on the case summary card.
Unassessed TFRP (Form 2750 Waiver) Cases Appeals no longer accepts TFRP cases with untimely protests unless the trust fund recovery penalties are assessed. For those cases remaining in inventory, verify:
All periods listed on the case summary card are listed on Form 2750, Waiver Extending Statutory Period for Assessment of Trust Fund Recovery Penalty,
The taxpayer or authorized representative signed the waiver,
The Compliance Area Director or his designee signed the waiver,
The statute code is blank, and;
The earliest statute date from Form 2750 is entered for each period.
Per IRC 7122(f) and Notice 2006-68, an OIC shall be deemed accepted if it is not rejected, returned or withdrawn before the date which is 24 months after the date of the submission of the offer. Any period during which any tax liability that is the subject of the OIC is in dispute in any judicial proceeding shall not be taken into account in determining the expiration of the 24-month period. The date of submission of an offer for purposes of section 7122(f) is the date on which the offer is received by the Service.
Except for suspension of the 24-month during which any tax liability that is the subject of the OIC is in dispute in any judicial proceeding, there are no means to extend or suspend the 24-month TIPRA period. The 24-month period includes whatever time a case may be pending in Counsel awaiting their statutory opinion on an acceptance recommendation.
There are three instances where Appeals receives an OIC without a decision (reject, return, withdrawal) first being made by a Compliance function and thus have an open TIPRA statute:
OIC submitted as an alternative to collection in a CDP or EH case
OIC based upon Doubt as to Liability (DATL) where Appeals originally determined the liability (e.g., income tax, Trust Fund Recovery Penalty, etc.)
combination offer based upon both Doubt as to Collectibility (DATC) and DATL submitted on the July 2004 revision of Form 656 and where Appeals originally determined the liability, in which case Collection should have determined the collectibility aspect of the offer must be rejected but no similar determination was made by Exam concerning the liability aspect of the offer (these should be rare because the Service has utilized a Form 656–L since January of 2006, and a Form 656 without DATL as an available option since February of 2007, but there are still some combination offers out there that were submitted after July 16, 2006)
See IRM 18.104.22.168.1 for criteria before returning any DATL offer as a premature referral.
Use the following table to check for open TIPRA statutes:
STEP QUESTION If YES If NO One Was a formal rejection letter issued by either Collection or Examination? The 24-month TIPRA period under IRC 7122(f) does not apply and no further action is needed. Any ACDS Statute Code 'TIPRA' input onto the WUNO should be removed and replaced by Statute Code 'SUSP'. Steps 2 – 5 do not apply. Proceed to Step Two Two Was ACDS Statute Code "TIPRA" input onto the WUNO? Proceed to Step Three Submit a request to APS to have Statute Code 'TIPRA' input and be sure to use the proper date stamped on the original Form 656 plus two years as the statute date. Proceed to Step Three. Three If ACDS Statute Code 'TIPRA' was input onto the WUNO, is the corresponding statute date the date stamped on the originally submitted Form 656 plus two years? The Statute Code and date are accurate - proceed to Step Four Submit a request to APS to have the statute date changed to the proper date and proceed to Step Four Four Was the offer submitted as part of a CDP or EH case? Proceed to Step Five The case must be a Doubt as to Liability offer in which Appeals determined the original liability. Make sure Steps Two and Three above are done and double check the WUNO to make sure the 'TIPRA' Statute Code with the proper statute date are present. Step Five does not apply. Five If the OIC is part of a CDP/EH case, was ACDS Feature Code 'DP' input onto both the CDP/EH and OIC WUNOs? All necessary actions are done and the OIC WUNO will show up on a Statue Expiration Report and/or an Ad Hoc report Submit a request to APS to have Feature Code 'DP' added to both the CDP/EH and OIC WUNOs

Duke gets extremist literature collection
The Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Project has donated its extensive collection of materials documenting extremist and hate groups in the United States to the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Duke University.
The collection includes nearly 90 boxes of periodicals, pamphlets, flyers and other documents intended for distribution to group members and recruits over the past 30 years.
At the Rubenstein Library, the collection will allow researchers to examine the histories of hate groups and efforts to monitor and infiltrate them. It adds to the Library's Human Rights Archive, its rich collections for social movements in the United States, and its large existing collection of materials documenting the Ku Klux Klan from the 1860s to the present.
The SPLC collection includes materials on many types of extremist groups such as neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, white nationalists, neo-Confederates, racist skinheads, black separatists, border vigilantes and others.
"We are very excited that Duke University's David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library has decided to house the extremist materials we've been collecting for decades," said Heidi Beirich, director of the SPLC's Intelligence Project. "We are especially pleased that these relatively rare materials will finally be made available to scholars who research America's radical right. We look forward to learning from their scholarship."
The collection will be made available to researchers after being prepared for use by the Rubenstein Library staff.
The SPLC Intelligence Project monitors hate groups and other extremists throughout the United States and exposes their activities to law enforcement agencies, the media and the public. The project posts its investigative findings online, on the Hatewatch blog and in the Intelligence Report, a quarterly journal.

Various gabled and piend-roofed stone outbuildings; 2 to S; one to N incorporated with Graveyard wall. NotesThe Architect of the manse is given as Anthony Park in notes taken from the scroll minutes, as recorded in the SCRAPBOOK. According to the same source, the manse was nearly complete in March 1781, when work was inspected, and in August 1781 "the Presbytery did thereby do declare the Manse of Mochrum... sufficiently executed". The 1781 building replaced an earlier manse (apparently built 1733), which was presumably situated on the same site, as in 1796, the STATISTICAL ACCOUNT refers to "the manse and offices... being all of late substantially rebuilt, and covered with slate". In 1839, the NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT states that "a large addition was built to the manse in 1822; and it is at present in excellent repair". The 1900-01 wing was apparently built of bricks from the local kiln at Monreith village. ReferencesSTATISTICAL ACCOUNT Vol XVII (1796) p 572. NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT Vol IV (1845) Wigtown, p 65.

At first glance, it appears, judging from early news stories on the report of the official Israeli commission on the conduct of the 2006 Lebanon war, that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has once again dodged a bullet. The Winograd Report was evidently written with great care precisely so that it could not be used as a political weapon against any individual figure in Israel. The report contains no recommendations, and "refrain[s] from imposing personal responsibility," in the words of its executive summary:
It should be stressed that the fact we refrained from imposing personal responsibility does not imply that no such responsibility exists. We also wish to repeat our statement from the Interim Report: We will not impose different standards of responsibility to the political and the military echelons, or to persons of different ranks within them.
Translation: Hey, we're not bringing down anybody's government.
No wonder, in the words of the Jerusalem Post, "Olmert's spokesman, Jacob Galanti, was quoted by Israel TV as saying the Prime Minister's Office was 'breathing a sigh of relief.'"

Below is the poem entitled No Longer Fairest of All which was written by poet
McLain. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.

Kara Mclain
"Snow White, so pretty.
So fair."
I chant to myself
As I brush my flowing hair.
I watch myself
In my enchanted mirror.
Always so nice.
Always so sweet.
Always giving all I have.
But never, ever asking for a thing.
That's little Miss Snow White.
"But not tonight."
I say to myself
As I tease my hair.
I will be true to myself.
I will say and do
All I've ever wanted to do.
I will be me.
And maybe,
Just maybe,
A tad bit mean,
Because as they say,
The fairest of all
Doesn't have to be fair all the time.
Just fairer than most.
At least that's what I say.

Whataburger drops suit against debt collector
By Patrick Danner : November 23, 2012 : Updated: November 26, 2012 10:21am

Whataburger Original, 640 calories. (With double meat, it's 880 calories.)
Whataburger Restaurants LLC has dropped its lawsuit against debt-collection firm NCO Financial Systems Inc.
The burger chain filed the suit in August in an attempt to stop persistent collections calls made to its San Antonio corporate offices to an unidentified employee to pay up on a debt allegedly owed.
"We resolved our differences and the parties no longer have a dispute," Michael Gibbs, Whataburger's general counsel, said in an emailed statement.
In its suit, Whataburger said the collection efforts of one of the nation's largest debt collectors amounted to a "campaign of harassment against Whataburger that is unreasonable ... and reckless."
An entity affiliated with JP Morgan Chase & Co. has an ownership interest in NCO.

Governor Andrew Cuomo is threatening to force pension reform through a recalcitrant state legislature if his proposals are not agreed to as part of the state budget.
Cuomo, who's seeking a new benefit tier with lowered pension payments and a 401k option, says if the legislature does not agree with his plan by the time the state budget is due March 31st, he may try to force the proposal through as part of a budget spending extender.
"If we come to a resolution with the legislature, fine," Cuomo said. "Otherwise the alternative mechanism is through extenders."
The governor says he hasn't given up yet, and is talking to key lawmakers, as well as meeting with union leaders, though he denies that he is "negotiating" with the unions over pension reform. Cuomo also would not rule out separating the issue of pension reform from the budget altogether, though he says it's a "vital part" of his spending plan.
