What We Didn't Learn from Home Concrete
Patrick J. Smith
Ivins, Phillips & Barker
June 25, 2012
Tax Notes, June 25, 2012, p. 1625
The Supreme Court's recent decision in Home Concrete was disappointing in every respect except for the taxpayer's victory. The decision raised several significant issues concerning the application of the Chevron test for evaluating the validity of regulations, the scope of the Brand X rule for when agencies are permitted to overrule court decisions on issues of statutory interpretation, and the IRS's authority to issue retroactive and temporary regulations. However, it also provided authoritative guidance on none of those issues, because of the lack of a majority opinion on the reason the regulation was substantively invalid and because the holding of substantive invalidity made it unnecessary to reach the retroactivity and procedural issues.

The state Superior Court has ensured that Ricky L. Miller Jr. will keep serving a life prison term for fatally shooting his estranged wife's lover in front of her and their three young children on a Hampden Township street.
The court upheld Miller's punishment for the July 2009 killing of Kenneth Geiger III in a ruling issued Wednesday.
The slaying resulted from a troubled love triangle that came to the attention of law enforcement before Miller shot Geiger at point-blank range inside a sport utility vehicle that Miller's wife, Ashley, was driving. The Millers' children were in car seats in the back of the SUV, which was parked near Geiger's Creekbend Drive house when the fatal shot was fired.
Even a face-to-face warning issued to Ricky Miller by a police officer just hours before the murder failed to prevent the killing.
Court records tell a story of deadly jealously.
In the Superior Court's opinion, Judge Sallie Updike Mundy wrote that in the weeks before the murder Ashley Miller had renewed a relationship with the 33-year-old Geiger, a former lover; moved out of the Millers' home in Gap, Lancaster County; and taken the kids with her.
An angry Ricky Miller began threatening his wife and Geiger, sending texts that included phrases such as "brains going everywhere" and "it's hunting season on Creekbend Drive." Once, he fired a gun while talking with Ashley on the phone to try to convince her that he was committing suicide.
Ricky Miller became even more agitated after finding letters Geiger had sent to Ashley, Mundy wrote. Geiger contacted the police after Ricky Miller tried to ambush him on his way to work. Police repeatedly told Ricky Miller to stay away from Geiger.
Yet the night before the killing, Ricky Miller encountered Ashley at a gas station and told her, "You just wait and see. What I am about to do will make headlines."
The next day, he used his car to block Ashley's SUV, walked over to her vehicle, reached across Ashley and shot Geiger in the head with a .45-caliber pistol. He then told Ashley, "I told you never to [expletive] with me," Mundy noted.
After the killing, Ricky Miller drove to a nearby car lot, took sleeping pills, climbed on top of an oil tank and dozed off. He was still there when police caught up with him a day later.
Mundy noted that Ricky Miller confessed to the murder and described it in detail to investigators. After prosecutors raised the possibility of seeking the death penalty, he pleaded guilty to a general charge of homicide, leaving the decision on his degree of guilt to a county judge.
During a hearing in August 2012, Judge Albert H. Masland found Miller guilty of first-degree murder and imposed the life prison term.
In upholding that sentence, the state judges rejected an argument that Miller, now 37, made on appeal that prosecutors had not proven he was guilty of first-degree murder. He argued that he should have been convicted of the less serious crime of voluntary manslaughter, which would have ensured he eventually would be released from prison.
Miller claimed he killed Geiger amid the "heat of passion" after months of provocation by Ashley and Geiger. He also contended that he thought Geiger was armed.
Mundy wrote, however, that Miller's "general dependency over the breakup of his marriage cannot be construed as provocation or sudden passion." And, she concluded, the evidence shows Miller "had ample time to cool down from any alleged passion."

This week, blogs pondered barriers for women in corporate America, peeked into the bookshelves of writers we love, and showed us how WVFC's theme color can keep us warm in winter.
- Last month, we covered (as did CNBC) a report from Catalyst.org about Catalyst about women on corporate boards. While that report made a media splash, Catalyst's Deborah Gillis writes that her organization has recently focused on "the biases that persistently hinder the advancement of women in many workplaces." Women are just as ambitious and focused as men, she adds, but Catalyst's most recent report, Pipeline's Broken Promise, " found that among MBA grads who aspired to be CEO or senior executives, women progressed more slowly than men. And parenthood, industry, and previous experience didn't explain the gender gap. The leadership and pay gaps balloon over time, suggesting that the problem lies with the system, not the women. So what is the problem? Cascading Gender Biases, Compounding Effects revealed how gender biases are unintentionally embedded in talent management systems."
- Speaking of which, Amy Tennery at The Jane Dough reports that Nicole Williams, an exec at LinkedIn, told NPR's Michel Martin that such biases complicate the task of women seeking mentorship from male peers. If a woman does receive such support, Williams says, she can be shadowed by unspoken questions: "Is she getting the career advancement by virtue of the relationship and instead of her hard work? I do think that there's a double standard around women seeking out men for support."
- WVFC got pretty excited when Pantone, the color people, declared 2012 The Year of Orange, our signature color. And this week, Heather Clawson's Habitually Chic dreamed how we can use that color to warm up our winter: "My love of orange is no secret. Especially burnt orange. I saw a space so beautifully decorated with the color yesterday that it inspired me to put together another little compilation inspiration post. Enjoy." Her photo gallery includes glowing windows, many men's ties, pottery, luggage, and a very Modernist cover of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead.
- When you go to someone's house, do your eyes focus first on their books? Journalist Jill Bauerle does, and wondered what the bookshelves of writers she loves were like. The result, Stacked Up, is a bibliophile's dream that includes many WVFC BFFs, such as a visit to a Mary Gaitskill reading in Brooklyn and a hilarious video profile of The Freewheelin' Susan Orlean, the latter sniffing her old Faulkner paperbacks for "that old paper smell." We also learned yesterday that the video segments will soon be on WNYC-TV, so you'd better click over so you can be there first.
- As awards season really kicks in, Melissa Silverstein at Women & Hollywood is keeping score about how many women are nominated; she found much to celebrate in last week's Producer's Guild noms. Silverstein was especially struck by the ones with Oscar implications: "Kathleen Kennedy is nominated for both best feature (War Horse) and best animated feature (The Adventures of Tin Tin)." But the awards, like the Golden Globes, also include TV, which gives us even more to cheer — including Christine Vachon (whose movies include Far From Heaven, Boys Don't Cry and I'm Not There) for the acclaimed and somewhat underrated HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce. Watch below if you doubt that there was any more to be made of that 1940s potboiler: you'll get chills.

It's probably fair to say that the appointment of Andre Villas Boas has met with a mixed reaction from the Spurs fans. On the one hand there's his unbeaten and trophy-laden season at Porto to consider. On the other, there is his ill-fated and brief tenure at Stamford Bridge.

They don't make double bills like they used to. I got in on the tail end of the double feature, which was a routine practice at second-run theaters until (at least) the early 80s. As a child my parents only took me to see one or two movies per year, so when I got to my teens and realized I could see two movies for the price of one, I became an addict (my all-time favorite double bill: Excalibur and The Howling). Nowadays you have to create your own double feature, and be willing to pay separate admission fees for each movie. Add in the cost of concessions, which is hard to avoid if you're at a theater for more than four hours, and the price can get out of hand.
Multiplexes don't make it easy to watch movies back-to-back, either, staggering their showtimes to maximize the number of screenings per day, accommodate the sharing of film prints in more than one auditorium, and so forth. All that is understandable from their standpoint, and doesn't present a problem if you're only seeing one movie at a time. But when I'm trying to catch up with several releases that I've missed, it gets to be a big challenge. Let me give you an example.
To varying degrees, I wanted to see all three movies that opened in wide release on Friday (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Julie & Julia, and A Perfect Getaway), ideally one after the one at the first available opportunity, which, for me, was during the day on Saturday.p>
So I had to study carefully the screening schedules of nearby multiplexes, taking into account the running times of each movie and allowing for approximately 15 minutes of pre-show trailers. One multiplex is best, obviously, because it saves on time (and personal wear and tear), but I've dashed to two or more theater complexes in a single day.
I like to use Google; just type "movie: city, state" (or "movie: zip code") into the search engine, and local showtimes appear in a text-only format that's easy to scan and compare. I couldn't work out a schedule to watch the movies in preferred order that didn't involve waiting around the multiplex lobby for more than an hour between screenings, but finally figured out how to see all three with a minimum of wasted time, and at the least possible cost.
Arriving just before 10:30 a.m., I bought my three tickets at the outdoor kiosk; which didn't print one of them. (The customer service attendant seemed surprised when I expressed concern, assuring me I could simply show my receipt if anyone asked.) I bought a bottle of water and a large popcorn, walked straight into my first movie, Julie & Julia, and joined the middle-aged and older crowd in laughing throughout the cooking comedy.
My reaction was slightly more favorable than that of Jette Kernion, probably because I'm such a huge fan of Meryl Streep, especially when she's sweet and funny. I noticed, though, that the "mature folks" in the audience treated the theater like their own living room, feeling free to talk to their neighbors about what they were seeing. "Oh, look, is that Sally Field! Oh, no, I guess not." No cell phones, at least.
I left before the credits had finished rolling and arrived during the trailers, just before A Perfect Getaway began. About the same number of people were in the auditorium as for Julie & Julia -- maybe 15 or 20? -- but almost everyone at that 12:50 p.m. show was sitting by themselves, lone figures in the shadows, myself included. That meant no talking during the movie! And no cell phones! Yay! Just a bunch of lonely single people, watching a suspense thriller about a happy couple being stalked by a psycho-killing couple. Wish fulfillment? I don't want to say.
The movie was not the greatest, as well-described by William Goss in his review, but had one really fine, extended scene, in which writer/director David Twohy let his words tumble out of the mouth of Milla Jovovich in the form of a great story, and that's really what I've come to expect from Twohy. His movies have been slightly above average, though not as good as they could be and too dependent on a twist that's not as clever as it might have sounded originally. Yet he conjures up individual moments that transcend their surroundings. The twist this time was one that I anticipated, yet still relished in the unveiling and delivery.
At the beginning, I wasn't sure I'd have the energy or desire to sit through G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, but I fueled up on a hot dog and a free refill of my large popcorn, and I was good to go. Conveniently, the theater was directly across the hall from A Perfect Getaway, so I got a decent seat and settled in for the 2:45 p.m. screening.
I don't have much to add to what Todd Gilchrist and Scott Weinberg have already written in their reviews; I love outlandish action sequences, probably more than the next guy, but director Stephen Summers has never been particularly gifted at shooting action that flows in a cohesive or graceful way. Watching G.I. Joe is like riding a wildly bucking bronco for 118 minutes: yes, it's quite a ride, but you're happiest when it's over.
My day at the multiplex cost me $20.00 in tickets ($5.00 for the early show before noon on the weekends, $7.50 matinee price for each of the two afternoon screenings), plus an additional $15.00 in concession stand purchases.
I can't afford to create my own multiplex triple bill every week, but once a month or so, it's a pleasant way to spend the day. Next time, I think I'll forgo the popcorn, smuggle in some beef jerky -- and head to the art houses.

Carolyn Hax: Daughter frets over late mom's estate
Dear Carolyn: My mother passed away. She was 98 and lived a full, rich life, so this is not about grief; it is about ethical distribution of money.
She and my only sibling were on the outs for 25 years. Because my sibling lives far away, I was the one called upon for doctor's appointments, midnight runs to the hospital, follow-up care, etc. I was placed on all of my mother's accounts, as well as on her condominium. Before she passed she verbally instructed me that my sibling was to get nothing (sib was apprised of this years ago), and that I distribute money to the grandchildren.
My mother had almost no relationship with my sibling's two children, and it was her intention that by leaving some money for them they would remember her. But she left no detailed instructions. After paying the bills, I distributed her savings among the four grandchildren. I sent a nice note with the checks to my sibling's children saying their grandmother wanted them to have this in her memory, but heard nothing back. I phoned my sibling to verify that the checks were received. This brought back memories of my mother's complaints that she never received acknowledgments for birthday checks.
Now the condominium is going to sell. This will be more money than the several thousand dollars I distributed from the savings account. Maybe it's unfair, but I have no interest in sending my sibling's children more money. I sense (maybe unfairly) that sending them more will not achieve my mother's goal in having them remember her. I would appreciate your insight. -- In a Quandary Here
Dear In a Quandary: Decide how much you'd like to give your own kids, and give the other grandchildren the same, after a self-protective consultation with an estate attorney.
Your mother instructed you to give money to the grandchildren, and hoped it would secure her memory. I see the instructions as your business, but not the hope. Your concern about the kids' indifference might be valid, and you were indeed given leeway to decide how much to give, but I don't think, ethically, it's your place to decide whether these grandkids showed sufficient gratitude.
Consider this: They might have no idea you're deciding how much they receive; they might believe that their grandmother decided the amount and therefore would be the one to (not) thank if they could.
If so, then to deny these grandkids more money would be to punish them for not understanding how this particular estate was set up.
That would honor neither your mother's wishes nor any general notion of fairness.
Plus, circumstances they didn't choose effectively denied them a grandma.

It is worth discovering though, the walks aling the edge and at the bottom are shaded from the hot sun by both broadleaf and conifers. The water is clear and trickles along the bottom. The paths are well marked and include circuits for pedestrians and bikes. And always in Luxembourg, lots of tiny dogs. There are a few bigger dogs but cat-sized is the mode!

Anders Behring Breivik was denied a public audience in court yesterday because of fears that he could use his testimony to send coded messages to two possible terror cells.
The 32-year-old extreme right-winger — who describes himself as a Knight Crusader against multiculturalism — was charged with terrorism and murder and remanded in custody for a further eight weeks. The first month will be spent in solitary confinement to prevent any possible contact with accomplices.
"The arraignment should be held in camera so as not to impede current investigations or threaten national security," said the judge, Kim Heger. "It is clear that

Chicago—Findings from a new study challenge current guidelines for the treatment of stage 2 hypertension.
The study's findings, presented at the American College of Cardiology's annual scientific session here in March, found that high-risk patients with hypertension who received a calcium-channel blocker (CCB) combined with an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor experienced 20% less cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than did patients taking an ACE inhibitor plus a thiazidetype diuretic. The difference was so significant that the study was stopped early.
Graphic Jump Location
A low-cost combination therapy that includes a calcium-channel blocker and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor may provide the best control of stage 2 hypertension while reducing risk for cardiovascular events.

Former President George W. Bush is among leaders who have high praise for Texas Tech Chancellor Kent Hance at word the long-time West Texas politician will retire at the end of the year.
Bush, who went head-to-head with Hance in 1978 for the Lubbock- and Midland-based District 19 U.S. House seat that Hance ultimately won, sent a written statement to A-J Media Friday afternoon, Oct. 11.
"Texas Tech was fortunate to have Kent in a leadership position," Bush said. "He loves the Red Raiders and leaves behind a better university. I wish my friend all the best."
Gov. Rick Perry:
"Chancellor Kent Hance's decision to step down as head of the Texas Tech University System marks the end of an incredible era not just for the System, but for higher education in Texas," Perry said in a statement. "Thanks to his leadership, higher education is more affordable and accessible to thousands of Texans. As chancellor, Hance helped the Texas Tech University System raise an astonishing $1 billion, much of it during the nation's economic downturn."
Rep. John Smithee, R-Amarillo:
"Kent Hance was perfect for the job," said Smithee, a Tech School of Law graduate who has known Hance for three decades.
"He had a strong background on government relations and on fundraising, two of the most important qualifications for the job," he said. "And what has helped even more is that he is completely loyal to the university because he taught at Tech and it's important to have roots."

Shortly after the Redskins acquired the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, I jumped on my computer.
I didn't really have a plan when it came to writing my first Robert Griffin-actually-being-a-Redskin article, I just let it flow.
I just thought about how much this team means to me. Being a Redskin fan is more than just throwing on a burgundy and gold jersey on Sunday.
I looked forward to writing about the former Heisman Trophy winner on a regular basis, and as I sat down in front of my desk, I came up with the perfect scenario.
I thought of RGIII running down the field and executing a play with relative ease in crunch time. I imagined thousands of fans screaming their heads off with "RGIII! RGIII! RGIII!" chants. I imagined us winning.
Obviously, my heart is involved, I can name every single player on the roster and where they went to college (challenge me). I analyze every personnel move and attempt to predict every play during the course of a game.
Although our lowly 3-6 record is not a reflection of it, Griffin has made this team dangerous. Maybe not now, but it's hard to imagine a talent him not succeeding one day.
He's been spectacular in limited work, and it's going to be interesting to see how Griffin makes the adjustments now that opposing defenses have enough film on him.
It's funny how the NFL changes on almost a weekly basis. In the first month of the season, Griffin and the Redskins were the talk of the league as Andrew Luck noticeably struggled.
Soon fans, analysts and various members of the media began to question the Colts' decision to draft Luck over Griffin.
Weeks later, Luck is now carrying the torch as the Rookie of the Year (arguably) and RGIII and his Redskins are in a major funk.
Despite all of that, I'm going to tell you why Griffin still deserves that honor.

First off, you can drink wine at many bars; I'd make the mistake of sticking w/ beer, myself, and it wasn't until a night of getting shitfaced on wine that I noticed the beer-shits the next morning weren't normal. As far as dairy intolerance, it is a side-effect of gluten sensitivity.
Onto failing your diet-
Addiction is the continued use of a mood altering substance or behaviour despite adverse consequences,[1] or a neurological impairment leading to such behaviors.[2]I thought wiki would be a slightly better source, but they don't have the list of most addictive behaviors or breakdown "food addiction" beyond overeating. I know someone who has an addiction, that they admit, to sugar. Whereas your behavior doesn't indicate a severe compulsion to eat unhealthy food, the temptation of "social eating", if it's recurrent, does seem analogous to people who break sobreity or smoke when they've quit. Maybe framing it that way in your mind might help you remain more stalworth in the future.Behavioral (non-chemical) addiction is a form of addiction which does not rely on drugs like alcohol. Increasingly referred to as process addiction[1] or non-substance-related addiction [2][3]) behavioral addiction includes a compulsion to repeatedly engage in an action until said action causes serious negative consequences to the person's physical, mental, social, and/or financial well-being.[4][5] One sign that a behavior has become addictive is if it persists despite these consequences.
Behavioral addiction, which is sometimes referred to as impulse control disorders, are increasingly recognized as treatable forms of addictions.[6] The type of behaviors which some people have identified as being addictive include gambling, food, sex, viewing of pornography, use of computers, playing video games, use of the internet, work, exercise, spiritual obsession (as opposed to religious devotion), pain [7], cutting, and shopping.

Baseball Batting Tees
Improve your swing with a baseball batting tee! Whether you are looking for a tee ball tee for your league or simply are looking to improve your form and technique, a baseball tee is an excellent tool. Baseball is still America's pastime, and Sports Unlimited is the place to go for all your baseball equipment needs!
Batting tees, baseball tees, tee ball tees... no matter what you call it, it's a staple of the game. Crusty veterans and newbies alike all have room to improve their swing. A batting tee provides the ability to get the repetitions you need to improve your t ball game and baseball skills. You won't meet a legend of the game that hasn't used a tee because they are one of the most essential baseball training aids in existence.
There are multiple styles of batting tees these days because with such a powerful and impactful tool, there will inevitably be innovation. Other than the standard batting tee, a similar style tee with a modification for improvement is the flex top tee that uses a rubber or soft material at the head of the tee where the ball is place so that the bat can pass through the are in which the ball will be struck with minimal interference. This keeps the tee standing upright and allows the ball to travel in its most natural path once hit. Some tees have multiple angles at which the stem can rest so that you are able to practice hitting pitches placed in every part of the strike zone and beyond.

|Demographics the key to any strong business
Business development attorney Shawn Jackson readers' questions each week about owning and operating a business.
Q: I am working on a business plan with my team. Can you better explain "demographics" and why they are putting so much importance on me developing this?
A: Demographics are part of the three foundation stones for "lead generation" for increased sales, along with psychographics and temporal graphics.
Briefly stated, demographics are those objective measurable criteria of your intended target market.
Demographics include such things as age, marital status, income and physical location…all-important for the business to understand if you are to communicate with your intended target market.
Q: What is the main reason for running my business under a corporation?
A: As a general proposition (to which there are some exceptions), a corporation's shareholders have "limited liability."
They are not personally liable for the debts of the corporation, but rather can only see their investment rendered worthless (or diminished) should the creditor pursue the corporate debtor.
Corporations enjoy relative ease in raising and operating capital and in transferring the ownership interest represented by its shares. In other words, it is relatively easy to buy and sell shares of stock as compared with the sale of assets or partnership interests.
However, issuances and transfers of corporate securities must be done in a manner that complies with applicable federal and state securities laws.
Q: Any problems with having my business just be a simple partnership?
A: The most important is that general partners are jointly and severally liable for all of the partnership debts.
That liability extends not only to the value of the partner's investment in the partnership, but to all of his/her personal assets.
While most catastrophic liabilities can be insured against by a partnership, the risks of partnership form can still be significant. This general liability feature of the partnership works to undermine the entrepreneurial spirit.
Q: What is the best way to increase sales?
A: Reconnect with your past customers. Many businesses do not realize one of the best ways to increase sales is to reconnect with your past customers who already know and appreciate you and your services or products. Tell them what's new.
Q: Do e-mail marketing campaigns really work?
A: Well, that depends…first upon the quality of the e-mail database and then upon the nature of the email. If the information is useful to the designated audience and you have some level of "call to action" that is easy and simple with a real benefit for the email recipient, then you will have a marketing campaign that serves both you and your customers.
Q: Should I form a corporation this year or wait until the beginning of next year?
A: If we are in the first nine months of the calendar year and on the assumption you would benefit from the liability protections and tax advantages of a corporation or a LLC, then yes, it is to your benefit to have a business development attorney help you form a corporation or a LLC.
Keep in mind that if your business has a high exposure to liability, it may be advantageous to form the corporation at any time of the year, because protecting your personal assets is often very important.

About the International Music Foundation
Al Booth, Founder of the International Music Foundation
History: The International Music Foundation was founded in 1976 by Chicagoan Al Booth to present the Do-It-Yourself Messiah, a large public sing-along of a Baroque masterpiece with world class conductor/soloists and an 80-piece orchestra. It was the first of its kind in the city.
In 1977, we added the weekly Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts in Preston Bradley Hall of the Chicago Cultural Center to provide performance opportunities for emerging musicians early in their professional careers and a 'lunch-break for the soul' for the public. We are proud that many of today's classical music stars appeared at the Hess series early in their careers, and indeed, enjoyed their Chicago debuts on the Hess series. Over 3,500 artists have appeared on the series; many have been prize winners from such competitions as the Tchaikovsky, Naumburg, Van Cliburn, Leeds, Chopin, and Rubenstein.
Both the Do-It-Yourself Messiah and the Hess series have continued uninterrupted since their beginning. This remarkable longevity is due to the enthusiasm of our audiences and the generosity of our donors and funders.
In 1982, we introduced Live Music Now! with the support of Yehudi Menuhin. Under the Live Music Now! imprimatur, we send musicians into the Chicago Public Schools to perform for students in grades K – 8.
Impact & Leadership: We are proud that in 2015 the IMF presented 230 concerts of the highest quality to approximately 72,000 adults and children. The high quality we strive to maintain was recognized by Chicago Tribune music critic John von Rhein when describing the 35th anniversary of the Hess series: "Such is the loyal following the series has built that Preston Bradley's 450 seats are invariably filled for every concert. That comes out to more than 23,000 audience members a year, an impressive turnout for live classical music. These listeners know there are few better places around to spot talent on the way up."
The organization is led by Ann Murray, with assistance from Maria Valdes-Vargas and John Lee. Hess performers are selected by our esteemed Artistic Committee, and guidance is provided by the Board of Directors.
What Keeps Us Moving Forward: All of us continue to be inspired—just as Al Booth was—by the example of Dame Myra Hess. This remarkable woman, speaking of her founding of the National Gallery concert series in WWII London, said: "I have felt again and again that music was available almost exclusively for a privileged section of the community; and I have wondered how it would be possible to reach the many thousands of potential music-lovers who were surely to be found outside this limited world of concert-goers. Though it seemed so impossible, I longed to throw open the doors to the very best music… "
We here at the International Music Foundation are still driven by Dame Myra's words, and are proud to work passionately to bring free music of the highest quality to adults and children in Chicago.

About the Movie
A gripping tale of love and honor forged between fierce enemies of war, inspired by true events and starring Matthew Fox and Academy Award®-winner Tommy Lee Jones as General Douglas MacArthur. Immediately after Emperor Hirohito's World War II surrender, General MacArthur (Jones) suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation. He challenges his expert on Japanese culture - General Fellers (Fox) - to provide evidence in 10 short days to decide if the Japanese Emperor, worshipped as a god by his people but accused of war crimes, should be punished or saved. The fate of a nation awaits…

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Mr. Jones's performance is the only spark within this otherwise dull, well-mannered exercise.
Rotten: The effort to put a personal face on the major issue of occupation is as timely as Iraq and Afghanistan, but the execution is clumsy and cliche-ridden.
Rotten: The subject is intrinsically compelling, yet the central story is padded with an uninvolving love story that functions mostly as obvious symbolism about compassion for the enemy.
Rotten: Half crinoline romance, half crusty military-history lesson.
Customer Reviews
Excellent casting in this movie. I enjoyed every minute of this movie, and learned a few things along the way. You can't trust Tomatoes, watch this movie.
A Movie With Learning
This movie's review of a little known piece of the end of WW II in Japan, and one that served a foundational moment for the emergence of Honda, Toyota and Japan in general in the world we know today, should be a mandatory watch in most US schools, as the key components of history just don't get taught anymore like this. Fantastic subject, well acted, and again much better than many attempts in film to portray history.
Actually, this is a pretty fantastic movie that sheds light on a little known moment in history of our country. And the ruins of Tokyo look cool in a post apocalyptic kinda way.

Microsoft is confirmed to be working on a version of its wildly popular Office productivity suite for Apple's iPad, and The Daily managed to get some hands on time with the highly anticipated software ahead of its release. Microsoft Office for iPad will bring Word, Excel and PowerPoint functionality to Apple's tablet — presuming the app is approved by Apple — and it is unclear if Microsoft has plans to add additional Office applications in the future. The app has a similar look to Microsoft's OneNote app for iOS, which borrows largely from the Metro-themed Office software on the Windows Phone platform. The Daily's report states that Microsoft plans to submit Office for iPad to Apple for approval in the

text: Yeah, it's definitely true that a lot of people use this as an excuse. For me, it's about eating cilantro lime rice in a homemade burrito bowl about once a month, NOT that I can have rice whenever I want. I think this is something that a lot of newbies struggle with. It doesn't mean you can eat as much ice cream as you want, but you can have it once in awhile & you shouldn't feel guilty.

As leaders of companies based and created on Long Island, we reaffirm our full support for veterans who have served our nation's defense and strength at home and abroad;
We understand our obligation to honor those serving, remember those who have fallen, and take care of those who have returned home; and
Service members transitioning out of military service and back into civilian life face many challenges, one of the most difficult is finding gainful employment; and
In the year two thousand and thirteen, the unemployment rate for veterans in the State of New York was 8.2% while the national average was 6.6%; and
Veterans possess a wide range of invaluable skills, education, training, character and experience that translate well into professional environments; and
Therefore, we have joined with Representative Steve Israel, County Executive Mangano and County Executive Bellone in a Long Island Veterans Work Initiative including:
- Encouraging veterans to apply for positions in our companies.
- Coordinate and intensify efforts to identify, train, and hire veterans through the Nassau County and Suffolk County Departments of Labor and Veterans Affairs.
- Engage with local and regional groups to broaden outreach to veterans with relevant skills and experiences.

Tiger Stone is a Brick Printer Machine
Tiger Stone is an incredible brick laying machine, or the better way of describing it is that it is a brick printer. Loads of bricks are piled into it and the machine keeps rolling them out in a unique pattern. It will be cool to see this tool in the hands of some artists and designers. This machine is used to make some insane patterns and murals.

Yes, there is an app for that. There's an app, it seems, for everything.
"It's pretty cool actually," said Zack Wilson, executive director of High Plains Food Bank. "It's a nice convergence of technology and needs."
Wilson, who heads the nonprofit that distributes more than 6.5 million pounds of food annually in the Texas Panhandle, always is on the hunt for donations, be it food or money. He never imagined the food bank would be getting them through a combination of a phone app and perspiring fitness buffs.
"These days, there a lot of unique and special ways to raise money," Wilson said, "and this would certainly be up there."
It's a free application for an iPhone or Android called Charity Miles, which allows those who run, bike or walk as part of their exercise regimen to do so for one of 24 national charities.
"I'm a little biased on which way to go," Wilson said, "but it's a great deal."
Charity miles works like this: A national corporation, currently American Express, donates 25 cents for every mile run or walked, or 10 cents for every mile biked to that person's selected charity.
The two dozen charities include Habitat for Humanity, standup2cancer
.org, and Wounded Warrior Project, plus Feeding America, a national network of more than 200 food banks that includes High Plains Food Bank.
If a runner heads out on a five-mile run and clicks the app, the money doesn't go to the national headquarters, but stays where the miles were run, walked or biked. A GPS system tracks location and distance, and money stays where the miles were.
"And so anything done in the Panhandle stays here," said Wilson, "but if you were in Lubbock and ran there with the app, it would go to the South Plains Food Bank."
Charity Miles, and its website, charitymiles.org., was the idea of Gene Gurkoff, a New York marathoner who had spent 11 years running and raising money for Parkinson's Disease on behalf of his grandfather.
"I was always trying to find ways for corporations to sponsor me, but I'm just one person," said Gurkoff, whose app has been — ahem — running for nearly 14 months. "I never had the sources to get meaningful corporate sponsorship.
"So the idea is to use an app to pool activists together and give us a tool to get corporate sponsors to support a lot of worthy causes."
There's a couple of drawbacks. It won't work indoors, so a treadmill wouldn't help. And the phone has to be along for the ride, which at times can be awkward. But doing so can make a difference, particularly with the High Plains Food Bank.
Two miles run or walked, or five miles on the bike, may mean just 50 cents, but that will pay for two meals based on Food Bank figures. Is the equivalent of two meals a big deal? Bigger than most think.
September is Hunger Action Month for local food banks. High Plains collects and distributes approximately 600,000 pounds of surplus food a month, 30 percent of which is fresh produce, to 165 agencies throughout the 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle as well as three more counties to the southeast. They wouldn't do that if it weren't needed.
"It's a silent problem," Wilson said, "but it's a problem and not something everyone talks about. You're not going to the coffee shop and say I didn't have anything on my plate today. That's not a conversation that's usually public and our job is to make it public."
Hunger agencies use the term "food insecure," which means those who are not sure of their next meal or don't have the resources to adequately fulfill a daily nutritional diet.
In the Texas Panhandle, 15 percent fall in that category, with a high of 20 percent in Hall County, where Memphis is the county seat.
Before 2008, the food bank assisted 5,000 to 6,000 families. After 2009, it spiked to 11,000, and for the last two years, it has been near 9,000 families.
"We don't see any increase or decrease," said Wilson. "This is the way it's going to be for a while."
So a few miles in motion with the right app could feed a few folks.

COLUMBIA Gov. Nikki Haleys budget vetoes are as much about symbolism and nurturing her relationship with supporters as they are about spending priorities, political analysts and consultants said.
Whats next
The Senate meets today to take up Gov. Nikki Haleys budget vetoes that were overridden Tuesday by the House. Two-thirds of the Senates voting members must also vote to turn back a veto before an override becomes official.
As the House easily overrode Haleys most attention-grabbing vetoes Tuesday, the observers said her choice to veto some items that stood little chance of being sustained by the Legislature also reflect the governors desire to feed a narrative her office has embraced: that she is combating an entrenched good ol boy network of lawmakers.
Overriding concerns
The House overturned 51 of Gov. Nikki Haleys 81 budget vetoes Tuesday. Those upheld reduce the Legislatures $6.8 billion combined budget and reserve spending plans by less than $4 million. The Senate must vote to turn back vetoes before they are officially overridden. Overridden:Vetoes of state funding for Charleston-based S.C. Sea Grant Consortium and S.C. Arts CommissionVeto of $10 million in one-time money to help fund 2 percent teacher raisesVeto of $454,000 to help fund nonprofit rape crisis centersVeto of $1.5 million for information technology services within the S.C. Judicial Department Veto of $2 million in state matching funds for College of Charlestons interactive digital technology pilot projectVeto of use of $10 million from national mortgage settlement for S.C. Commerce Departments Closing FundVeto of $200,000 for upgrade of The Citadels Jenkins Hall Arms RoomVeto of $5.5 million for Medical University of South Carolinas Ashley Tower renovationSustained:Veto of $200,000 for city of Charlestons African- American historic sites preservation project
Those vetoes, which drew the most protests and involved considerable amounts of funding, include $10 million to help fund teacher pay raises and hundreds of thousands in state funding to keep the S.C. Arts Commission and Charleston-based S.C. Sea Grant Consortium running.
Scott Buchanan, director of The Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics, said the budget strikes are a way for Haley to please her base.
You can go and run on that in two years and say, Look what I did, but it was the Legislature who overrode that veto, he said.
Haleys office objected to the idea that Haley was motivated by anything other than her fiscal priorities of rejecting the use of one-time funds for recurring expenses and parochial earmarking.
Those were her motives no more, no less and any speculation otherwise is misinformed at best, Haley spokesman Rob Godfrey said in a statement.
And Godfrey said the administration cant control what vetoes the media chooses to fixate on, so were not entirely sure what the metric for high-profile is.
GOP consultant Chip Felkel said Haleys office likely didnt anticipate it was going to be successful with the major vetoes.
But Felkel said the stands allow her to court the support of S.C. tea party groups some of which have expressed disappointment with Haleys regime.
The activist groups helped fuel Haleys victory in 2010.
She can tout that she stood firm with the base, and she can perhaps pick up some political capital with those who believe she has lost her way, Felkel said.
Felkel and Buchanan said Haleys predecessor, former Gov. Mark Sanford, took a similar tack that valued ideological purity over possibility of success.
Charleston Democratic Rep. Leon Stavrinakis said Haley and Sanfords approach to budget vetoes is disingenuous because their administrations knew their high-profile budget strikes stood no real chance of passage.
That means the potential consequences if the vetoes were upheld were never truly on the line, he said.
Godfrey responded, We werent aware that the idea of living within your means, avoiding using one-time money for recurring expenses, and not passing a budget that ensures well start the next year in a deficit were partisan ideals.
Mark Tompkins, a political scientist at the University of South Carolina, said the relative structural weakness of the S.C. Governors Office is in part responsible for Haley and other governors approach to budget vetoes.
Unlike governors in other states, Haley isnt considered to be the leading voice on state budget issues.
That power lies with the General Assembly and S.C. Budget and Control Board.
But Tompkins said some S.C. chief executives, former Democratic Gov. Dick Riley and former GOP Gov. Carroll Campbell, have been able to move lawmakers to their side.
Tompkins said Haley and Sanford didnt bring those political instincts with them into office.
With Haley, it may be a choice, Tompkins said.

SALEM-The Salem track program has had a tendency to run in cycles over the years.
After a long period of great distance runners, the focus has shifted to sprinters over the past few seasons with a number of relay teams making it to state. It seems only natural then, that at the 2013 state track meet, the Quakers will be well represented in the field events.
Seniors Anthony Shivers and Ciera Trybend will compete in both the shot put and discus, while senior Zack Wukotich is a finalist in the high jump.
"These things are bound to run in cycles," Salem boys coach Todd Huda said. "This program has been strong for a long time. Eventually we were going to have a strong run in field events."
Shivers will be making his second straight trip to Columbus. He is the defending state champion in the discus and has his sights set on a repeat after a qualifying throw of 190-feet-4, which bettered the second-place effort by 12 feet. His personal best of 198-1 is tops in all of Ohio this season.
Despite being the favorite, he is taking nothing for granted.
"One thing I learned from last year is that everyone comes to compete down there," Shivers said. "I know I'm going to have to be at my best in order to repeat."
Shivers will also have the shot put on his schedule this year after taking first at the Bedford regional meet. He finished seventh at regionals last year.
"I was disappointed with the result last year in the shot put," Shiver said. "It made me hungry to come back stronger this year. Throwing coach Bill Neapolitan really worked with me on my form and I spent more time in the weight room getting stronger."
The success of Shivers has helped inspire Trybend.
She is going back to Columbus in the shot put with a throw of 41-5 after finishing 10th at state last year. Like Shivers, Trybend has done herself one event better as a senior, qualifying in the discus with a second-place finish (134-5) at Bedford. Trybend was sixth at the regional meet last year.
"Having Anthony around has definitely helped," Trybend said. "He's a great teammate and works very hard. When you see someone who strives to be good like him, it carries over."
For most of her career Trybend has concentrated on shot put, but was surprised by last year's regional appearance in the discus and resolved to see how good she could be. She began doubling her practice time with the discus and has set personal records in nearly every meet this season.
"I never really saw myself as a discus thrower until this season," Trybend said. "I was surprised to make regionals last year and that made me want to start working on it harder. The more I've practiced, the better I've gotten."
"Ciera worked so hard this offseason," Salem girls coach Amie Cochran said. "She wanted to be on the podium so bad last year and has built a ton of confidence. She's been a joy to coach."
Rounding out the Quaker field event trio is senior long jumper Zack Wukotich, who finished second at Bedford with a jump of 6-6, a mark only bettered by two competitors this weekend. It will be his first trip to state.
"Much of this season was stressful for me," Wukotich said. "Early in the year, a bunch of little things just weren't working out. I started getting better late in the year and really felt I was peaking for the regionals."
However, the day before the Bedford regional meet, Wukotich had a bad practice that made him unsure of his chances.
"It was stressful the night before the meet," heh said. "I knew I had to do better in order to make it to state. The next day when I knew I had made it I felt a huge relief."
Wukotich is a third-generation state qualifier. His grandfather, Dick Farmer, and uncle, Rich Farmer, both competed at state for United - Dick in the high jump and Rich in the long jump.
"My parents wanted to show me a picture of what it was like when my uncle went, but I don't want to see it," Wukotich said. "I want to save the anticipation until I get down there on Thursday."
The Salem track program has been a model of consistancy over the years, with a state runner-up finishes in 1916, 1931 and 2007. Though the events may have changed, the Quakers remain as strong as ever.
"This program was great long before I got here," Huda said. "The sucuess is something that has built on itself. We're just trying to keep it rolling."

Iowa visits Northwestern on Sunday winless in three Big Ten games. The Wildcats managed to reach the conference win column after an unsurprising victory over Penn State.
But don't let the records fool you. It's a big game. It's a major opportunity for NU. Time for some long overdue drama at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
With all the adversity in the past few months alone, you could argue this team deserves it. But, of course, they have to earn it in a Sunday home date with the Hawkeyes – a team far better than their record suggests. All three of their Big Ten losses were to ranked opponents.
For Iowa, a team clinging to tournament aspirations, this is very nearly a must-win game. Leading scorer Roy Devyn Marble may return after missing Thursday's three-point loss to No. 22 Michigan State due to an ankle injury. Regardless, coach Fran McCaffery needs his team to rebound from a poor start to the conference season.
Just one week into the academic quarter, the Northwestern home crowd should be at its loudest. A loss, and the students will leave pessimistic, wait for that one game against Indiana, and sit at home for the rest. A win, and there might just be some hope.
It's a relative term. This season has little chance of ending at the Big Dance. Given the team's overall talent deficiency in the deep Big Ten, the NIT seems a reasonable and fair goal. But these are college athletes. Every win is important – especially for Reggie Hearn and Jared Swopshire. The seniors have no stake in next season's performances. They took no consolation when Crawford was scratched for the season.
No Cobb. No Crawford. So? There are 15 games and about two months left in the regular season. To the masses that counted them out of even competing, a winnable home game would provide a statement.
On Thursday, the team adjusted. The guys showed some life. Sure, a mediocre Penn State program also lost its best player for the season. But for future purposes, one thing stood out: Jared Swopshire was back.
Swopshire looked talented instead of timid. He scored. He went to the free throw line – where he knocked down six of eight attempts. The team cannot take any more on-and-off play. For every Illinois State (15 points, 10 boards), there was a Butler (0-for-6, 3 points). If Swopshire can set aside the inconsistency and step into a scorer's role, the team dynamic changes completely. Iowa boasts gobs of potential under McCaffery – a good coach – but can they slow a motivated team with players on their A-game?
I hate to present this promotional material and this storyline. But I'm looking forward to Sunday.
Northwestern always appears doomed for bad luck in basketball. Juice and John Shurna failed to lift the team over the top. Pat Forde kicked the team when they were down.
The expectations are even more modest this season. Fans are no longer praying for a last-four-in twelfth-seed miracle, but instead for a win that makes everything seem all right.
I won't crown the team after a win against Iowa. If things fall correctly, it might happen.
But we can all appreciate that every win means something.
Forget about the end result of this season. Concentrate on Iowa. And see you on Sunday.

webOS: The latest open source, Linux distribution
Elation does not come close to describing what I am feeling right now. Euphoria does not even do it justice. Every cell in my being is in a state of extreme, joyful excitement as I speak (or write).
The source or cause of the joy is none other than the announcement from HP that webOS will be, in their own words, a "pure open source project." Awesome! Did I see this coming? Yes, sir! Did I influence HP's decision? Perhaps.
Ok, alright, that last one is a stretch, but back on August 19 2011, after HP had announced that it "will discontinue operations for webOS devices, specifically the TouchPad and webOS phones," I suggested in a blog post (see what HP should do with webOS), that "to not let webOS be a failed distribution, here's what I think HP should do with webOS – make it a free, Linux distribution, such that the relationship between it (HP) and webOS would be akin to that between Red Hat and Fedora, or Canonical and Ubuntu."
