What GAO Found
The General Services Administration (GSA), the National Park Service (NPS), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) have undertaken portfolio-wide efforts in recent years to identify historic buildings they hold, nominate some of those buildings to the National Register of Historic Places, and manage their historic buildings in an effort to comply with the requirements in the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and relevant executive orders. While these agencies use and preserve some of their historic buildings to meet mission needs, others are excess or unsuited for current mission needs. GAO found several instances in which these agencies leased part or all of some historic buildings to non-federal entities that could use and preserve the buildings. GAO also found that these agencies had implemented projects in some of their historic buildings to improve their sustainable performance, such as installing green roofs and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems.
GSA, NPS, and VA face an array of challenges in managing historic buildings, including functional limitations of older buildings in relation to contemporary mission needs and current building codes, budgetary limitations, and competing stakeholder interests. Competing stakeholder interest can become apparent during the required consultation with stakeholders, such as the state historic preservation officers, prior to implementing projects that may affect a historic building. Compounding these property management challenges, the selected agencies' data on historic buildings in the Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP) are not complete. GSA and VA are still working to evaluate many buildings that are over 50 years old. Also, GSA and NPS have not reported complete and consistent historic-building data to the FRPP--in comparison to data they track within their agencies' historic-building databases. GAO reported its concerns with the reliability of FRPP data in 2012. This review emphasizes the relevance of these concerns to the historic-building data included in the database. In June 2012, GAO recommended improvements to the FRPP database to enhance its consistency, completeness, and usefulness in federal decision making. Such improvements are also necessary to increase the consistency and completeness of historic-building data in the FRPP.
Why GAO Did This Study
The federal government has made some progress addressing previously identified issues with managing federal real property. This includes establishing the Federal Real Property Council (FRPC) and creating the FRPP database to identify and report agencies' real property, including attributes such as historic status. GAO was asked to assess issues related to historic preservation at nondefense agencies. GAO's review focused on-- GSA, NPS, and VA--three nondefense agencies that hold significant numbers of historic buildings. This report identifies (1) actions these agencies have taken to manage historic federal buildings, and (2) any challenges they have faced. GAO selected and visited a sample of 31 historic buildings managed by the three agencies. The results of these site visits cannot be generalized but provide important insights. GAO interviewed agency officials and reviewed agencies' efforts to preserve, use or lease, and improve the sustainable performance of those buildings. GAO also interviewed officials from the selected agencies about their agencies' preservation programs, including actions to identify and report on their historic buildings.
What GAO Recommends
GSA--in collaboration and consultation with NPS, VA, and FRPC member agencies, and others--should ensure that the action plan being developed to improve FRPP also addresses the need for improved data on historic buildings. GSA agreed with GAO's recommendation and further reported that it has, in part, already taken action to rectify inconsistencies GAO found between GSA's FRPP data and its internal data sources.
For more information, contact David Wise at (202) 512-2834 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: The Acting Administrator of GSA--in collaboration and consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), NPS, VA, and FRPC member agencies--should ensure that the action plan being developed to improve FRPP data includes actions to improve historic-building data by addressing the following areas, at a minimum: (1) determining whether changes are needed--to historic data elements or guidance--to ensure that data are consistently and accurately reported; (2) developing, in FRPP fiscal-year summary reports, data that will better convey to the public and stakeholders--including Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Congress--a sense of the extent of historic buildings held by agencies, such as total numbers or percentages; and, (3) facilitating ACHP's access to FRPP data, as appropriate, so that ACHP can better fulfill its historic-building advisory role to Congress and the President.

Penny Nance Likens Obama to Tarzan for Defending Susan Rice
Concerned Women for America president Penny Nance is getting herself in the involved debate over UN Ambassador Susan Rice's potential nomination to be Secretary of State. Nance has attempted to paint President Obama as somehow anti-woman by claiming his campaign is "misogynistic" and views women as "a bunch of cheap floozies." She even mocked Obama supporter Sandra Fluke by saying she and her colleagues couldn't afford birth control because they spent too much money on beer, while refusing to defend her from Rush Limbaugh's sexist attacks. Nance's group launched the SheVotes campaign to energize conservative women and during an Election Day interview with VCY America's Jim Schneider, she insisted that polling data shows Obama's efforts to reach out to women voters were a "disaster."
Of course, Obama carried women voters by eleven points, but being completely wrong about the women's vote in the election hasn't stopped Nance from claiming that women across the country are appalled by his purported sexism.
How is he acting like a sexist now? By defending Rice from baseless Republican attacks.
Nance writes that Obama is acting like Tarzan and even threw out the debunked claim that the White House practices paycheck discrimination. She says that instead of speaking out in favor of Rice, he should be defending people like Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter and Michele Bachmann from "his own misogynistic attack dogs." Speaking out against the attacks against Rice, Nance explains, is effectively "an admission that left-leaning women aren't nearly as savvy and strong as conservative women and, therefore, need a little extra protection."
Basically, if Obama doesn't defend women like Palin, Coulter and Bachmann, it is sexist, and if he speaks out on behalf of a Democratic official like Rice, it is sexist and a sign that liberal women are weak. Get it?
It's absurd to think Obama would similarly defend his male subordinates. Such statements made by the president would undermine their authority and insult their professional capabilities.
But maybe public displays of "Me Tarzan, You Jane" are just one of the perks you get when you're part of an administration that pays its women an average of 18 percent less than their male counterparts.
Or maybe it's finally an admission that left-leaning women aren't nearly as savvy and strong as conservative women and, therefore, need a little extra protection. Heaven knows there were plenty of times (a la Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Michele Bachmann, etc., etc., etc.) when the president could have — and should have — called off his own misogynistic attack dogs. Those were full-on, unbridled, unrestrained, vicious attacks on conservative women. But honest-to-goodness, hard-but-relevant questions pointed at a female, Obama administration mouthpiece is what finally gets the president in an uproar?

DENTON (UNT), Texas – This summer's Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference hosted by the University of North Texas will illustrate how deeply rooted narrative is in all forms of storytelling, and how it profoundly touches readers.
"I like to think our 2010 conference will kick off The Year of the Narrative," says George Getschow, the conference's writer-in-residence. "Our speakers will showcase the power of narrative in prose writing, screenwriting, songwriting, broadcasting, blogging, memoir, and all its many permutations. They'll show us that narrative is both transformative and everlasting as a literary art form."
The keynote speakers are three of country's top narrative practitioners: Mary Karr, author of two New York Times bestselling memoirs; Mark Bowden, writer of Black Hawk Down; and Gary Smith, a senior writer at Sports Illustrated, whom Slate calls "the best magazine writer in America."
The conference will be held at Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center, which is located at 1800 Highway 26 East in Grapevine, Texas, from July 23 to July 25 (Friday through Sunday). Registration fees range from $225 to $295.
Conference seating is limited. Individual tickets are available for Karr's talk on Friday night and Bowden's talk on Saturday night. Scholarships opportunities will be announced later this spring. For more information on fees and registration, visit Mayborn Conference website .
Karr is a talented poet and memoirist credited with sparking a renaissance in memoir, says Getschow. Karr won a number of awards for her first memoir, The Liar's Club, which became a New York Times best seller. Karr's most recent memoir is Lit, which answers the question of how she escaped her toxic upbringing to tell her own tale. Karr will open the conference with her keynote address on July 23 (Friday.)
Bowden will deliver the keynote address on Saturday night. The best-selling author, screenwriter and journalist is best known for his book Black Hawk Down, which won the Overseas Press Club's 1997 Hal Boyle Award and was a finalist for the National Book Award. It was also the basis for the film of the same name. Bowden also writes for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Vanity Fair and The Atlantic.
Smith's narratives have graced the pages of Sports Illustrated for the past two decades. He has won four National Magazine Awards, the highest honor a magazine writer can earn. Two books have been published featuring Smith's collected works Beyond the Game and Going Deep. Smith will close the conference by conducting a conversation with all conferees on Sunday.
Te conference also will feature Amanda Bennett, executive editor of projects and investigations for Bloomberg News. She will be the first speaker in the conference's annual Bloomberg lecture series. Bennett has worked at The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Oregonian and The Wall Street Journal.
Bill Marvel, a former narrative writer at The Dallas Morning News, has attended every conference – as a presenter, workshop leader, jurist and conferee. This year, he will stand behind the podium to talk about his experiences ghosting a memoir about Valton Burgin's combat experiences in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Marvel credits the Mayborn Conference for the six-figure book contract he and Burgin obtained for Islands of the Damned, which will be out in bookstores this month.
Marvel isn't the only one who feels that the Mayborn has launched or reenergized his literary career. The conference has awarded five book contracts through its writing competition, and countless other participants have landed book deals, been published in newspapers and magazines around the country and, in other ways, seen their literary careers take off after attending the Mayborn.
For a full listing of 2010 speakers, visit Mayborn Conference website. For more information, contact Jo Ann Ballantine, conference manager, at 940-565-4778 or email@example.com.
2010 Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference Suggested Reading List
The 2010 Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference, hosted by the University of North Texas, will be held July 23-25 at the Hilton DFW Lakes Executive Conference Center in Grapevine. The conference is an opportunity for the public to interact with critically acclaimed authors and storytellers.
George Getschow, conference writer-in-residence, recommends the following books written by the Mayborn's 2010 conference speakers:
- Mary Karr's Lit, the long-awaited sequel to her critically-acclaimed and New York Times best selling memoirs The Liars' Club and Cherry.
- Mark Bowden's Black Hawk Down, a finalist for the National Book Award, and Guests of the Ayatollah, an account of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, which Newsweek listed last year as one of The 50 Books for Our Times.
- Gary Smith's anthologies, Beyond the Game and Going Deep. Slate Magazine calls Smith not only the best sportswriter in America, but also the best magazine writer in America.
- David Grann's The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon. The international best-seller has been nominated by library associations as one of "The Best Science Books" of 2009.
- Hampton Sides' Blood and Thunder, an historical narrative about the controversial frontier hero Kit Carson and his role in the conquest of the West. The book was voted one of Time Magazine's "Ten Best Books" of 2006. Sides' Ghost Soldiers: The Epic Account of World War II's Greatest Rescue Mission won the 2002 PEN USA award for nonfiction and was the inspiration for the Miramax film, The Great Raid.
- Bryan Burrough's most recent book, The Big Rich: The Rise and Fall of the Greatest Texas Oil Fortunes, is an unforgettable tale about four swaggering Texas oil tycoons who became Texas version of royalty, living lives that surpassed even the fantastic myths that surrounded them. Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34, is a true-life gangster thriller that trumps most novels for riveting action and drama. The book recently became a major motion picture starring Johnny Depp.
- Paula Butturini's memoir, Keeping The Feast, looks at how food saved her life.
Other books by our conference authors that will be in bookstores soon:
- S.C. "Sam" Gwynne's Empire of the Summer Moon, a history of the Comanche Indians, will be published by Scribner in May.
- Hampton Sides' Hellhound On His Trail, a detailed, fast-paced narrative about the assassination of Martin Luther King and the international manhunt for fugitive James Earl Ray will be released in late March.
- David Grann's anthology of his award-winning magazine work, The Devil and Sherlock Holmes: Tales of Murder, Madness, and Obsession, will be released in early March.
- Valton Burgin's memoir, Islands of the Damned, about his combat experiences in the Pacific Theater of World War II, was co-authored by Bill Marvel. Burgin was interviewed by filmmaker Stephen Spielberg and actor Tom Hanks for an upcoming TV miniseries expected for release in early March, about the same time as Islands of the Damned.
- Kalena Cook's Birthing a Better Way. A winner of the 2009 Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Book Writing Contest explores the myths and realities surrounding natural childbirth and shares the inspiring stories of women who consider it "a better way."

Hardly a day goes by without the subject of gay marriage hitting the news for one reason or another, reflecting a flurry of activity in state legislatures, the courts, and among activist organizations. In recent weeks alone, state legislatures have passed gay marriage laws, opponents have called for referenda, courts have issued rulings, and opinion polls have been released seeming to show increased support for gays and lesbians who want the legal definition of marriage to apply to their committed relationships.

Federal and local authorities say remains found in Pender County last week belong to a missing Camp Lejeune Marine.
Corporal Stanley Bosley, who is a Native Navajo Indian, left Camp Lejeune in his car in February 2004 and was never seen again.
Bosley's car was found shortly after he disappeared in Hampstead.
Authorities say hunters stumbled upon a skeleton near where Bosley's car was found, and tests have confirmed they are that of Corporal Bosley.
It's not clear how he died but authorities don't suspect any foul play.

text: teachers Pension Returns Up; Problems Remain By Amanda Vinicky • Aug 20, 2013 Amanda Vinicky Illinois' largest public pension fund hit a major low in 2012, its rate of return was less than one percent. But an early analysis shows the last fiscal year was better than expected. The success isn't expected to make much of a dent in Illinois' nearly $100 billion dollar pension liability, however, which lawmakers thus far have failed to tackle. Testing Teachers: New Performance Evaluations Implemented, State's Education Community Challenged By Kerry Lester • Jan 1, 2013 Chicago Teachers Union Three years ago, Gov. Pat Quinn was preparing to sign legislation that would tie teachers' performance evaluations to the growth of their students. It was hailed as historic. Part of a national trend spurred by states' desire to qualify for the Obama administration's Race to the Top federal education grants. The plan was to phase it in year by year, starting with Chicago in the fall of 2012, followed by the lowest performing schools across the state, with all schools in compliance by 2016. Editor's Note: Teachers Must Feel Like Targets in a Shooting Gallery By Dana Heupel • Jun 1, 2011 WUIS/Illinois Issues They are overcompensated and underworked. They siphon undeserved cash from state budgets, shortchanging essential needs such as human services or the health and safety of our citizens. They are to blame for America's difficulty in maintaining its superior economic position among the world's nations. They mostly fail in their primary job responsibility. They are unable to cope effectively with the pressures brought on by normal societal changes. Empty Desks: Quinn Estimates 17,000 Teachers & Staff Will be Laid Off if Tax Increase Not Approved By Jamey Dunn • May 1, 2010 WUIS/Illinois Issues When Tom Bremer got word that he would not be back teaching art at Elgin High School next year, he was frustrated. He taught there four years and worked with other art teachers at the school to create a photography, cartooning and animation program that teaches students to use new technology as well as writing and art criticism. Editor's Note: A Teacher's Praise Can Shape a Student's Future By Dana Heupel • Apr 1, 2008 WUIS/Illinois Issues Our editorial offices are in a flat-roofed, one-story building tucked away on the far east side of the campus of the University of Illinois at Springfield. Though one colleague described it as a "temporary 30-year-old structure," it serves our needs just fine. It also houses various other university departments, such as human resources, the campus ethics office, a survey research unit, the international students program, services for the disabled and a counseling center. Ends and Means: Statehouse reporter uncovers need to re-evaluate teacher evaluations By Charles N. Wheeler III • Jan 1, 2006 WUIS/Illinois Issues Close your eyes and envision your workplace — the office, the shop floor, wherever. Now mentally rate your co-workers. Are they all doing an OK job? Or is there someone who's not up to the task, whose performance is sub-par? If your answer is no, everyone's work is at least satisfactory, perhaps you're a tenured Illinois public school teacher, a category in which almost no one does a poor job, if you believe the ratings prepared by administrators in the state's 876 local school districts. WANTED: TEACHERS - Major state seeks thousands of new educators/or urban and rural classrooms By Maureen Foertsch McKinney • Feb 1, 2001 American Federation of Teachers Kara Schlink says she can't remember wanting to do anything but teach. So it was natural to enter the teacher education program at Illinois State University in Normal, which is just a few miles north of Hudson, the small west central Illinois town where she was raised. Last January, right after graduation, Schlink became a teacher - in San Antonio, Texas, where she says she was lured by better weather and a beginning teacher salary that topped Illinois' average by more than $3,000. Better Teacher Training - Better Student Performance: Development should focus on training faculties By Leon Lederman & Lourdes Monteagudo • Feb 1, 2001 It was a teacher's dream. Ray Ulrich arrived last fall for his first day of class at Farragut school in Joliet to a classroom full of motivated students. But this wasn't a batch of fifth-graders. Instead, Ulrich, a teacher training specialist from the Teachers Academy for Mathematics and Science in Chicago, faced Farragut's own math and science teachers. His job was to help them improve the way they teach math to their elementary school pupils.

I'm using Formtastic 2 for a nested form - I have a menus and a meals model, menus have many meals, every meal belongs to one menu. I added the meal form to the menu show action, right below a list of already associated meals.
Creating meals works fine if validation succeeds, I forward to the menu show action again listing the created meal in the list.
But when the meals doesn't get validated and I forward to the menu show action again with an appropriate flash message, I would really like to fill the form with the data that was submitted before and rendering the errors next to it.
I tried with this redirect:
redirect_to(menu_path(menu,@meal), :alert => 'The meal was not created')
But I can't get at the meal variable and passing it back to the form this way, the request itself is a GET request with only the menu id.

Flashpoint. War's voice cast wasn't that good. Plus Flash gets center stage (also i enjoyed the comic).
I voted both. They're absolutely phenomenal. I like Jeph Loeb because he uses all the rogues and doesn't make them random. Tim Sale killed it for the Long Halloween and Jim Lee killed it for Hush....s...

We've had great tales in this popular Columbian feature. Remember the goat that got used to urban living? The volunteer touched by firefighters' kindly deeds? The Christmas tree, seized by Gorge winds, that almost tugged people over the edge with it? The lost Veterans Day thank-you card that somehow found its way to a 91-year-old grandmother who is a real veteran?
Great stuff. But we haven't had your story yet. And we're feeling it. The inbox at Everybody Has a Story is pretty empty these days.
If you've got a true-life tale that can be told in under 1,000 words, we want to see it. If you've got a relevant photo to go with it, even better.
Got questions? Call "Everybody Has an Editor," Scott Hewitt, at 360-735-4525. Got a story? Mail it to email@example.com or P.O. Box 180, Vancouver, WA 98666.
And while we're at it — the Neighbors email is also the place for neighborhood news items and photos, "What's Up with That?" questions and anything else headed for our Wednesday Life/Neighbors section.

Accellera Breakfast at DAC
UVM, the Universal Verification Methodology, has experienced enormous success in its first 5 years. It's used by thousands of engineers worldwide in nearly all digital verification flows. The IEEE P1800.2 committee is diligently working to standardize UVM. But what's next for UVM? Future possibilities include of UVM multi-language, UVM for mixed-signal, and UVM for acceleration. Accellera is also in the late stages of bringing a native SystemC implementation of UVM to the community. Join us to discuss what more should be considered for UVM.
At the Accellera DAC breakfast this year, we will assemble a presentation and panel to discuss the next 5 years for UVM. We'll provide an update on the IEEE P1800.2 UVM standard efforts and then discuss the future with a panel of verification experts. They will shed light on the technical challenges the industry is still facing and how UVM could further evolve to address the needs in areas like SoC verification and software-driven verification.
So come join us from 7:30am to 9am on June 7, 2016 and start your day at DAC with an Accellera update by Accellera Chair Shishpal Rawat, the presentation of the Accellera Leadership Award, and a view to the future of UVM. This event is free to all DAC attendees. Registration is required. Register now >

- 2 potatoes
- some BBQ sauce, to taste
- a few pineapple chunks
- some green onions
- an assortment of any other veggies you have (I used sautéed bell peppers)
- some sea salt, to taste
- Bake the potatoes in the oven (or microwave them if you're feeling lazy—I bet there's even a potato button on your microwave!).
- When potatoes are cooked through, let them sit a couple minutes until they are cool enough to handle.
- Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the middles.
- Mash the scooped out middles with BBQ sauce (about 2 tablespoons per half depending on the size of the taters).
- Add pineapple, green onions, veggies, and sea salt to taste.
- Fill the potato halves with the mixture—don't be afraid to make them heaping! I topped mine with green onions and a drizzle of BBQ sauce to make 'em pretty.

Triple H with Gene Simmons
While doing an interview to discuss the death of Lemmy Kilmister, the lead singer of Motorhead and the man that wrote his iconic theme song, Triple H revealed that he was a bit intimidated because he was sitting at the funeral with some of the greatest performers in rock music history. HHH noted that he was sat in the front row, right next to Gene Simmons, the legendary bass guitarist and co lead singer of KISS.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate and Gujarat state Chief Minister Narendra Modi speaks during the party's national council meeting in New Delhi on January 19, 2014
New Delhi (AFP) - India's opposition prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi mocked the ruling Congress party on Sunday for refusing to name Rahul Gandhi as its choice for premier in upcoming elections.
In a speech in the capital, Modi said Congress president Sonia Gandhi did not want to sacrifice her son Rahul politically at the general elections in coming months, which the party is widely tipped to lose.
"I see a very human, sensitive reason for their (Congress's) decision. Would any mother sacrifice her son?" Modi told hundreds of officials from his opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
"The mother thought 'no, save my son'," Modi said to laughter and applause from BJP leaders, who have been meeting in New Delhi to prepare for the general elections.
Sonia Gandhi on Friday batted away pleas from her Congress supporters during a mass meeting to name Rahul as their candidate for the polls due by May.
With Prime Minister Manmohan Singh retiring after two terms, the party had been expected to nominate Rahul, a Congress MP who has generally shunned the limelight, as its choice for premier at the meet.
Pollsters predict a defeat for Congress, with voters troubled by high inflation, slowing economic growth which has hit the job market and a series of corruption scandals.
On Sunday, Modi sought to contrast his humble beginnings as the son of a tea vendor with Rahul Gandhi whose family has dominated Indian politics since independence in 1947.
Modi said 43-year-old bachelor Rahul was too ashamed to go head to head with him at the elections.
"Rahul Gandhi feels shameful in fighting elections against a tea vendor," Modi told the crowd.
The BJP named fiery hardliner Modi as its candidate in September and the party's campaign has been centred around him and his 13 years in charge of the western state of Gujarat.
A survey last week said that only 14 percent of voters believed Rahul Gandhi would make the best prime minister while 58 percent opted for Modi.
But Modi, a pro-business reformer with a reputation for running a relatively clean administration, is also known for his Hindu nationalist leanings and is accused by critics of turning a blind eye to savage anti-Muslim riots in his state in 2002. - AFP

Man denies possessing stolen goodsApril 17,2014Man denies guilt
in stolen steel case
A Rutland man charged with possessing stolen bridge building equipment that he tried to sell at a local scrapyard denied a felony charge in Rutland criminal court this week.
Aaron W. Goodrich, 41, pleaded innocent to a charge of possessing stolen property. He remains free on court-ordered conditions that include a 24-hour, seven day a week curfew at his Elm Street residence.
Goodrich was arrested Friday morning the morning after the bridge parts were stolen from Atlas Painting and Sheeting Corp., which has been parking its vehicles at the old Florys Plaza site in Rutland Town.
Vermont State Police say Goodrich was arrested while trying to sell the parts worth $8,140 to Rosen and Berger scrapyard just down Business Route 4 from Florys Plaza for $104.
State Police say Goodrich denied stealing the 1,060 pounds of parts. He told police he bought the items the night before from a man he bought metal from in the past. He said he paid $70 to the man for what he believed was about 500 pounds of scrap steel.MORE IN This Just InAnti-refugee activists are hosting a speaker at the Rutland Free Library tonight.

Tax & Legal Alert - Lithuania is a periodical that provides the latest information on changes in Lithuanian legislation as well as summaries of most recent explanations by the State Tax Inspectorate.
The Description of cases when VAT has to be calculated and paid by the purchaser was amended. The term during which reverse-charge mechanism has to be applied for the supply of timber as well as in cases when bankruptcy procedure is started for the supplier of goods (services) was extended until 31 December 2018.
Decision No 1318 of the Lithuanian Government dated 16 December 2015.
The Tax Authority supplemented the official Commentary on the VAT Law where they explained that input VAT (or a part of it) on acquisition of a passenger car with additional control equipment designed for a driving instructor is VAT deductible, provided that it is intended for VAT taxable supplies.
Press release of the Tax Authority issued on 28 December 2015.
The amended official Commentary of the VAT Law determined stricter conditions for treatment of driving courses as exempt from VAT.
Driving courses of categories A, B and BE will be exempt from VAT only in cases when the aim of the courses will be to provide knowledge for a certain participant which would be required for his/her profession (job).
The Tax Authority explained how creation and submission services of e-invoice should be treated and taxed with VAT. Such services are supplied by banks from 1 January 2016 and will replace services of direct debit.
As the creation and submission services of e-invoice are not essential in order to perform the payment for the goods/services acquired (i.e. the purchaser would still be able to choose the payment method), such services are not considered to be financial services, thus, are taxable with VAT.
However, the services related to the transfer of funds should be treated as financial services, as the aim of these services is to transfer the payment for goods (services) acquired to the supplier's account according to the information provided in an e-invoice.
Letter No (18.2-31-2) RM-6 issued by the Tax Authority on 31 December 2015.
On 9 October 2013 the European Parliament and the Council adopted Regulation (EU) 952/2013 (Union Customs Code) which will change the currently valid Community Customs Code as from 1 May 2016.
In December 2015 the European Commission published Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 which detail rules concerning certain provisions of the Union Customs Code.
According to the amendments of the Law on Excise Duties starting from 1 January 2016 the order of payment of excise duties will change. The amendments will apply to the excise duty payments for the excise warehouse, performed by the owner of the warehouse or registered consignee, when for the last 3 tax periods the excise duty amount payable exceeds EUR 15 thousand.
In the above mentioned case, the advance payment of excise duties will have to be paid until the 15th day of the current tax period. The advance payment will have to amount to 1/3 average payable excise duty amount that had to be declared for 3 previous tax periods.
The remaining amount of excise duties, i.e. the difference between the actual amount payable and the advance payment, will have to be paid before the 15th day of the following month.
Law on Amending Art. 10 and 12 of the Law on Excise Duties, No XII-2152 dated 10 December 2015.
The amendments establish a consistent increase of the excise duty on all alcoholic beverages and ethanol within three years starting from 1 March 2016: excise duty rates on beer, all kind of wines and other fermented beverages and intermediate products excise will be increased by 8% each year and excise duty on ethanol will be increased by 2.5% each year.
Amendments also determine an increase of excise duty on tobacco products as of 1 March 2016. Excise duty on specific element of the cigarettes will be increased from EUR 45.08 to EUR 50.68 and excise duty on cigars and cigarillos will be increased from EUR 28.09 to EUR 29.54 per kg.
Amendment to the Law on Excise Duty No XII-2145.
Starting from 1 January 2016 the Government decided to increase the minimum monthly wage to EUR 350 and minimum hourly wage to EUR 2.13.
Due to the increase of the minimum monthly wage, HIC payable by self-insured individuals were increased to EUR 31.50 per month (i.e. 9% of the minimum monthly wage amount).
Press release issued by the State Social Insurance Fund Board under the Ministry of Social Security and Labour on 15 December 2015 and Resolution of the Government No 1240.
Starting from 1 January 2016 the level of insured income was increased from EUR 434 to EUR 445.
This change influences the calculation of payable social security contributions for individuals carrying out individual activity, members of small partnerships, owners of individual entities, individuals working under copyright agreements (without the employment agreement), etc., due to the fact that the "ceiling" on which the social security contributions should be calculated and paid have changed.
Resolution of the Government regarding Insured income level for current year 2016 No 1354.
Starting from 1 January 2016 the state base pension amount was increased from EUR 104 to EUR 112. The change will influence individuals working under business certificates, since the payable monthly social security contributions will increase from EUR 54 to EUR 56.
Resolution of the Government No 1353 for the amendment of Resolution of the Government No 1206.
According to the amended Law on PIT, starting from 1 January 2016 interest received on non-equity securities and deposits kept in Lithuanian and foreign banks and other credit institutions will be tax exempt provided that securities were acquired or deposit contracts were concluded starting from 1 January 2014 and the total amount of interest received does not exceed EUR 500 in a taxable period. Previously such interest was tax exempt if the total amount of interest received did not exceed EUR 3,000 in a taxable period.
Supplement 1 "List of non-declarable non-taxable income" of form GPM308 was updated. The supplement provides the list of non-taxable income which may not be declared in the individual's annual tax return for 2015.
On the contrary to the year 2014, interest received on (1) deposits kept in banks and other credit institutions of the EEA member states, (2) non-equity securities and (3) government securities of the member states of the EEA should not be declared if contracts of deposits were concluded/securities were acquired before 31 December 2013.
The Social Security Authority provided payment codes to be used for paying HIC to their budget that previously were payable to the budget of the Tax Authority.
The updated payment codes can be found in the press release issued by the Tax Authority.
Letter No (18.18-31-1)-RM-26757 issued by the Tax Authority on 10 December 2015.
The Lithuanian Tax Authorities provided the updated Commentary on Art. 35 (Obligations of the tax payer) on the Law on PIT where the procedure of the registration of the individual activity is explained.
Letter No (18.18-31-1)-RM-28178 issued by the Tax Authority on 31 December 2015.
Starting from 1 January 2016 a new obligation to provide notifications (form 1147) to the Tax Authority regarding the Lithuanian tax non-residents who are currently working or worked in Lithuania according to the temporary hire out agreements concluded between Lithuanian and foreign legal entities came into force. Notifications have to be submitted in those cases when individuals who are employed abroad are seconded to work in Lithuania for the benefit of a Lithuanian company.
As from 1 January 2016 deadlines for some of the tax payments and tax returns have been aligned:
The Tax Authority has prepared the new rules on provision of information necessary for the implementation of international co-operation commitments due to automatic exchange of information on financial accounts (Common Reporting Standard - CRS).
The rules came into force on 1 January 2016. The first deadline for information provision for the year 2016 is 1 of July 2017.
Press release issued by the Tax Authority on 2 December 2015.
The rules on filling and submitting form FR7011E and its appendixes regarding legal persons' information about loans granted to natural persons and returned, loans received from natural person and repaid were changed.
In addition, the rules were supplemented with new appendixes FR0711E and FR0711F.
From 2016 legal persons are obliged to submit the information about:
From 1 January 2016 amendments came into force which state that after each tax period companies organising lotteries and gambling must pay to the state budget lottery and gambling taxes calculated either by applying statutory lottery and gambling tax tariff or fixed lottery and gambling tax, by the 15th day of the first month of the subsequent tax period.
Amendments also granted a right to the Tax Authority to receive data indicated in gambling activity permissions, which is necessary for calculating fixed lottery and gambling taxes and other supervision activities.
Amendment to the Law on the Lottery and Gambling Taxes No. XII-2243.
The European Commission published Regulations (EU) No. 2015/2343 and No. 2015/2441 regarding the amendments to the 19th, 27th, 28th, 34th IAS and the 1st, 5th, 7th IFRS amending Regulation (EC) No. 1126/2008.

For more information about the changes please see our newsletter of November 2015, No. 195.
Amendments are aiming to restore proportional shareholder participation while electing the supervisory and management boards and to eliminate the right of the minority shareholders to veto the decisions made by the majority shareholders related to the formation of the boards.
Amendment provides that the entire supervisory board would be subject to election only if the shareholders whose shares carry at least ½ (instead of 1/10) of all votes agree to the election of individual members of the supervisory board.
Draft Law on Companies No XIIP-3847.
On 9 December 2015 the European Union Court of Justice (further – the EUCJ) ruled in case C-595/13 (Fiscale Eenheid X). According to the court, investment companies which invest not in securities but in immovable property, may be treated as "special investment funds" (provided that such a fund is subject to state supervision). The asset management services of such companies shall be treated as VAT exempt, however, the exemption does not cover the actual management of special immovable property (administration, letting, management of tenancies, and delegation to the other third parties of maintenance works).
On 9 December 2015 the EUCJ ruled in joined cases C-250/14 and C-289/14 (Air Finance-KLM, Hop!-Brit Air SAS), explaining that flight tickets are subject to VAT (the case concerns local flights) even in case the tickets are not used and no refund is granted. Such supply is neither a deposit, nor compensation of harm. Future supply of services are clearly identified, thus they are treated as supplied at the time of the sale of the ticket. The taxable moment arises on the receipt of payment for the ticket.

The Raspberry Pi is a great platform for creating your own interactive games. Recently, I designed an application utilizing an arcade button attached to a GPIO pin.
- single or multiplayer (1-3 players)
- winner is determined by the first player to reach a predetermined score
- Whammys only remove half the current player's score, and not the whole thing
