IRS offices in Flagstaff and Prescott, Ariz. were temporarily closed Tuesday as protests of IRS offices around the country were planned by Tea Party activists.
"They have a notice up that says 'temporarily closed," said Tom Case, a Lake Havasu resident.
Case drove three hours and 200 miles Tuesday with his wife to participate in the IRS protest of the Flagstaff office, located at 1633 S. Plaza Way. This was going to be Case's first rally.
"I follow the politics of the Tea Party, I'm not necessarily a hardcore tea party person," Case said. "This IRS thing to me is just a total example of an out of control government. Benghazi, the AP, Fast and Furious those are all terrible things that are happening to us but this one at this point is just beyond all reasonable doubt that this Administration and big government in general is just totally out of control and none of the people in charge seem to know what's going on. That bothers me more than anything."
The voicemail message at the Flagstaff office states that the location is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and explains IRS closures for all offices on May 24th due to sequestration. The message also explains the office will "resume normal operations the next business day," which would be Monday, May 27. There is no mention of a temporary closing for Tuesday, May 21.
Townhall put in a request with the national IRS office in Washington D.C. for an explanation as to why these offices are closed, how long they have been closed and when they will re-open. Townhall also contacted Bill Brunson in the IRS media relations office for Arizona. At time of publishing, IRS officials did not respond with a comment.

Deep in Ecuador's Rainforest,
A Plan to Forego an Oil Bonanza
Ecuador's Yasuni National Park is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth and is home to remote Indian tribes. It also sits atop a billion barrels of oil. Now, Ecuador and the United Nations are forging an ambitious plan to walk away from drilling in the park in exchange for payments from the international community.
by kelly hearn
Hunched in the back of a pickup truck speeding down an oil road near the western border of Ecuador's Yasuni National Park, Juan Carlos Acacho — a short, wiry Shuar Indian — says he's never heard of email or the Internet. But the father of six, who supports his family on a small jungle farm plot, has heard that oil companies want to drill in Yasuni, and that the government has been resisting them — a move he applauds.
"But the oil companies always do what they want," he said, smiling and shaking his head.
The question facing Ecuador now is: Will the oil industry have its way in Yasuni?
From an airplane, the Yasuni National Park is a sea of jungle green, a 4,000-square-mile rainforest wilderness where the Andes Mountains, the Amazon basin, and the equator meet. Created in 1979, the park overlaps ancestral lands of the Waorani Indians and is inhabited by two groups of natives living in isolation. According to
a 2010 study
in the journal
PLoS One
, an average upland hectare in Yasuni contains 655 species of trees (more than the United States and Canada combined) and 100,000 species of insects. One section of the park held at least 200 species of mammals, 247 amphibian and reptile species, and 550 species of birds, making the park one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.

Yasuni National Park is rich in plant and animal species.
"Yasuni is at the center of the richest zone in the Western Hemisphere," said Matt Finer, one of the authors of the
PLoS One
study. "It's the only area where the diversity of four key groups — amphibians, birds, mammals, and vascular plants — all reach their maximum levels."
In addition to its remarkable biodiversity, Yasuni sits atop a fortune of oil, making the park an emblem of a development crisis bearing down on the entire western headwaters of the Amazon basin. In addition to oil and gas activity, the region's forests are being besieged by illegal logging, biofuels agriculture, and an influx of colonists. But the remote northeastern corner of Yasuni near the Peruvian border has attracted the most attention because Ecuador's largest untapped oil reserves — nearly a billion barrels — lie below it.
In 2007, the Ecuadorian government proposed a way out of the green versus black dilemma: It would forego drilling in the pristine swath of the Amazon in exchange for payments from the international community. For more than two years, the idea seemed to languish. But on Aug. 3, Ecuador and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) signed an historic trust agreement for managing financial contributions from donors, a hard-won prerequisite for collecting pledges to pay Ecuador for foregoing the revenues it would have received from opening Yasuni to oil drilling.
Many questions remain about whether Ecuador can convince the world to pay it to keep "oil in the soil." But the August agreement has the potential to become a paradigm for global rainforest conservation programs known as REDD, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation.
"Nothing like this has ever been signed before," said Finer, a biologist with the U.S.-based group Save America's Forests, who says that any oil drilled in Yasuni would likely be sold on U.S. markets.
Esperanza Martinez, an Ecuadorian activist credited with first envisioning the Yasuni initiative, told
Yale Environment 360
that the signing was a "momentous occasion," adding, "Failure to sign the trust probably would have meant an accelerated invasion of oil in the Yasuní."
The Yasuni Initiative
Rafael Correa, Ecuador's president, unveiled the Yasuni initiative three years ago, proposing to forego drilling forever in a region known as ITT — which stands for the oil fields of Ishpingo, Tambococha, and Tiputini — if the international community would pay his country half of what it would otherwise get from drilling: an estimated $3.6 billon over 13 years. Along the way, the UNDP said it would oversee a trust fund for the project in order to calm jittery contributors concerned about future Ecuadorian governments reneging.
A socialist who came to power with the help of the country's social and environmental justice groups, Correa gained political points when he announced that Ecuador was prepared to take a financial hit in order to save the Amazon and steer trust money to alternative energy, sustainable development, and health projects, as well as to programs to protect two isolated tribes in Yasuni, the Taromenane and Tagaeri.
Observers say that Correa has put himself in a win-win situation. If the plan works, he earns domestic political credibility because of growing support within Ecuador for protecting Yasuni. Internationally, he can burnish Ecuador's growing green image. "Ecuador genuinely thinks that it can be a green pioneer by showing the rest of the world how one can build an economy while protecting the environment," said Remi Moncel of the World Resources Institute (WRI). "In fact, as is the case with the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador may benefit from ecotourism, one of the economic benefits of protecting nature and advertising such protective actions to the rest of the world."
If the plan fails, Correa gets to drill in the ITT while saying that he tried to save it.
The scheme would not only help shift Ecuador's economy away from oil, it would keep 470 million tons of carbon dioxide in the ground. Now, all eyes are on "the little country with a big plan," as Ecuadorian officials travel to the United States, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Norway, Spain, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Syria, and Lebanon to seek contributions in the coming months. The immediate goal: to raise $100 million in 18 months.
Isolated Rainforest Tribes
The sprawling Yasuni jungle is made up of moist forests cut by slow, brown rivers; looming trees flanked by buttress roots the size of small cars; giant butterflies; exotic insects; and the ear-popping caws of toucans stirred up by monkeys. Natives who only recently came into contact with the modern world — the Shuar, Waorani, and Kichwa — slip along silent jungle paths with shotguns or bows. Barefoot, they wear western-style clothes as they hunt spider monkeys and rodents in the dense underbrush. Deeper still, hiding in rainforest isolation but increasingly hemmed in by outsiders looking for oil or timber, are the uncontacted Taromenane and Tagaeri, a handful of nomadic family clans living in elongated, windowless huts, ardently rebuffing contact with modernity.

Ecuadorean Waorani natives in Yasuni only recently came into contact with the modern world.
But more and more, the Yasuni is under assault. Several years ago, the Ecuadorian government set out to limit illegal logging and colonization in Yasuni National Park by building a checkpoint on the one-lane ramshackle bridge where the Via Auca oil road crosses the chocolate brown Shiripuno River as it flows through Waorani territory into Yasuni proper. Today, young soldiers can be seen whiling away the hours in a small concrete building listening to soccer matches on the radio and flirting with local girls.
Maria Castro said she knew that the government wanted to keep oil companies out of some places in Yasuni, but that she had never heard of the ITT initiative. "People think the oil companies are the ones that are going to destroy Yasuni," said Castro, a diminutive Waorani woman in jeans and a bright green halter top. "But it is the loggers and the colonists who do the most damage." Skeptically, she nodded to the soldiers at the checkpoint. "They say they are stopping them but I don't believe it." Castro said that some Waorani natives wanted oil development, but others were frightened of its fallout: pollution, an influx of outsiders, and alcohol problems.
For the bulk of everyday Ecuadorians living in the country's grindingly impoverished eastern Amazonian lands, the Yasuni-ITT initiative means little. "I know the oil companies fight with the government, but that is it," said Marco Rodriguez a street vendor in El Coca, a chaotic jungle town in eastern Ecuador where trucks lumber across a bridge over the Napo River carrying illegally harvested timber from Yasuni. "People are too busy trying to live."
Castro said she doubts the plan will work because the government in Quito, the capital, can't be trusted to do what it says. "They can't even stop people from cutting the timber or selling animals from the jungle," she said. Others agree. Kelly Swing, a researcher at Ecuador's University of San Francisco in Quito, said that the world lacks confidence in Ecuador, with its history of political instability. "The plan sounds great," said Swing, "but I think lots of people simply don't trust that the government will be able to uphold its part of the bargain."
Others, however, see the UN's involvement in overseeing the fund as a key to success. And success means achieving three goals, explained Carlos Larrea, a professor at the Andean University Simon Bolivar in Quito and the technical director of the initiative. "We are mitigating global warming, preserving biodiversity in one of the most important hot spots on the planet, and mitigating poverty by creating sustainable employment," he said.
How would the Yasuni iniatiative work? Contributions to the fund would come from countries, international organizations, businesses, and individuals. Capital investments would be made in renewable energy projects while the interest earned from those projects would underwrite a separate fund dedicated to reforestation and energy efficiency projects, as well as investments in social programs and science and technology. The fund will give contributors Certificates of Guarantee (CGY) ensuring that "the crude stays, in an indefinite manner, below ground." The CGYs will be returned at full value if the Ecuadorian government ever opens ITT to drilling. The funds generated by the initiatives will be invested throughout Ecuadorian society, though there are no details yet about which organizations would receive the money.

In the Battle to Save Forests,
Activists Target Corporations
Large corporations, not small-scale farmers, are now the major forces behind the destruction of the world's tropical forests. From the Amazon to Madagascar, activists have been directing their actions at these companies — so far with limited success.
"This plan has the goal of creating a new model by making the country less dependent on revenues from fossil fuels and protecting Ecuador's most precious natural assets" said Moncel of WRI. "This is a good example of low-carbon development, where economic growth is pursued hand-in-hand with environmental protection."
Trust payments from the Yasuni initiative are designed to support reforestation and forest preservation programs even outside the boundaries of the park, potentially involving 5 million hectares across Ecuador — nearly 20 percent of the country. Larrea said that the Yasuni model could be a good one for a host of developing countries — such as Peru, Papua New Guinea, and the Republic of Congo — that have high biological diversity and reserves of fossil fuels in environmentally sensitive areas.
Many Ecuadorians are proud that their government is pushing back against global oil companies. Ecuador is home to what may be the world's largest environmental lawsuit, one pitting 30,000 Cofan natives against Chevron for environmentally injurious practices committed by its predecessor company, Texaco. Said Pamela Martin, a former Fulbright Scholar and political scientist at Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina who has worked in Yasuni since 2006, "Many involved in the Texaco situation have said '
nunca mas
' [no more] and have supported the Yasuní initiative because of what they've learned in their multiple-decade battle with Texaco and Chevron."

Thank you for your article, part of the succes of these plan will depend on how much of the international community is informed and involved. Although the Ecuador government has all my support on the project, because their initiatives are based on true precepts, we still need global watch to this project. This is NOT only an ecuadorian deal, this a global deal, and everyone should feel part of it, and everyone should have a saying on it. We, as ecuadorians, have the main responsability to make this work, but its up to to you (the world) to make it sustainable, succesful, and as a big startup plan for reporoducing in similar places around the world.
Everyone! be involved! listen to the ecuadorian vicepresident on sept 27th in the UN, and keep using any means to give comments about this.

Kelly Hearn has written a superb and absolutely accurate article.
I made a film ("Dream People of the Amazon") about a group of indigenous people, the Achuar,
who live very near to Yasuní National Park. The Achuar too have oil under their pristine rain forest. But for almost twenty years, they have been able to keep the oil companies out.
"Dream People" reveals how the Achuar have done this.

This is a very important article by Kelly. I hope this will function as eye opener for those who are being invaded by oil companies for making millions of dollars. If we can succeed in keeping away the oil companies we may succeed in delaying the adverse impacts of climate change globally. I wish all the best to Kelly and hope others especially in the western world would be encouraged to under take similar steps.

More than two-thirds of projected fastest growing occupations are in high wage jobs
December 09, 1999
BLS employment projections for 1998-2008 reveal that more than two-thirds of the 30 occupations expected to have the fastest employment growth had median hourly earnings in 1997 above the national median.
[Chart data—TXT]
Among those 30 fastest growing occupations, 11 are in the top quartile of median hourly earnings ($16.25 and over). The four occupations expected to experience the fastest employment growth—computer engineers, computer support specialists, systems analysts, and database administrators—all reported hourly earnings in the top quartile during 1997.
Ten of the 30 fastest growing occupations reported hourly earnings in the next highest quartile of earnings, from $10.89 to $16.14, during 1997. Desktop publishing specialists and paralegals and legal assistants are the two occupations expected to have the fastest employment growth in this earnings quartile from 1998 to 2008.
These projections data are a product of the BLS Employment Projections program. Find out more in "Occupational employment projections to 2008", by Douglas Braddock, Monthly Labor Review, November 1999.

Great Detour8501 Pantsby Janus - verified purchaser
Just got these in after exchanging sizes. Great pants, will get me through winter no problem.
Great Buyby Ricky - verified purchaser
I purchased these pants to ensure that I'm covered for all elements. These pants have been phenomenal so far. I completed my MSF class during a torrential down pour and I was completely dry. As warm as the pants were while wearing them in 50 degree weather, I have no doubt they will suffice in the winter. I highly recommend this product.
Detour8501 Excellent Pants For The Priceby EdtheMoose - verified purchaser
I've been using these for several months, and overall I'm very pleased with the purchase. I normally wear 33 waist/31 inseam jeans, and the Medium size for these pants is just right. I have not tested out the crashworthiness, but they do seem sturdy. Easy on and off over jeans or work pants, with good adjustments to fit snug but not too tight. With the liner, I'm good to ride in temperatures down to 40ºF (maybe a little lower, but I generally avoid that). Without the liner, they are decent up to about 75ºF - above that, you notice that they don't allow much ventilation. I have not taken them out in any serious rain, but they kept me reasonably dry when caught in passing showers. They come with a zipper in the back to connect with a jacket.Overall I would absolutely purchase these again - they're pretty darn good for the price.
Detour 8501 Pants Reviewby Pete Yuckly - verified purchaser
I was a jeans and chaps guy for quite some time and eventually got tired of buckling, zippering, suspending, and adjusting everything for 15 minutes to get suited up. I was also freezing in the frigid temps of winter.. i was looking for pant to just "pull on' and be ready to go, and also provide warmth in the winter months. The Detour 8501 provided a solution to all my issues! Some of the stitching is very weak on certain areas of the garment. First, when taking the pants off i tore out the flimsy loop the secures the inner lining to the inside of the pant leg. I sewed that back in- REALLY well!!! Next, putting the pants on i tore off half off the webbing material that holds in the armour on the knees. This section is very vulnerable to tears and is not as strong of a material as it should be. If you have the inner liner in, this should not be a problem but beware. I just duct taped it up and I was good to go- i will repair it properly later... Here's the thing, i love the pants soo much that it didn't matter about these two details. These pants are awesome!! Not $200-300 pants, but a great option for a low-budget rider. I wear a 40 waist and 34/36inseam and need a tall size, so i got the 3XLT- Great fit and long enuff when sitting on the bike I personally just added a pair of $9 suspenders from WalMart that clip to the back zipper flap and the waistband under the velcro front closures in the front. Absolutely perfect!! On and off in seconds and ready to ride!!!
Detour 8501 Pants Reviewby Pat - verified purchaser
very nice well built pants. I wear a 34 waist with a 32 inseam and got the large size. It was big on me so I sent it back for a medium. I now own Joe Rocket, Feldsheir and Tourmaster pants and I really don't think you can get a better overall motorcycle pant than the 8501'S for this price anywhere.
Detour 8501 riding pants Reviewby Ken Kirchhoff - verified purchaser
Absolutely great riding pants that were exactly as described and a fantastic price! These are comfortable yet heavy duty. The liner is warm and pants have great insulated feel. The added safety features are perfectly placed. If you read the reviews there is no way you will order the wrong size. You will never find this quality at this price.
great pantsby Deinis - verified purchaser
true to size, I wear a 38 pants so ordered the xl. fit great. wore them in 30 degree weather and was plenty warm without jeans underneath. thanked the wife for a perfect Christmas present.
Good Dealby Craig - verified purchaser
These Detour 8501 come closest to what I have been looking for in motorcycle pants. They have 4 pockets,not just two, adjustable side straps for tightening the fit around the waist and CE armor where it is needed. The only thing I would have preferred would be belt loops, so that you can add a belt in order to carry more gear and tighten the waist further should it be required. These are good pants at a great price.
Detour 8501 Motorcycle Pants Reviewby bmicmcd - verified purchaser
I need a pair of warm, windproof riding pants, and these seem to be just what I need. I like the fact that I get to choose both the waist and the length. I bought L-short, and they fit well. They're functional but not attractive, but I don't care.
Detour 8501 Motorcycle Pants Reviewby Nate Roberts - verified purchaser
A very good pair of pants at an excellent price. You don't seem to expect much after paying less than $100 for riding pants, but I'm here to tell you that they're well worth it. If you don't have a ton of money to spend on expensive gear, these pants are the perfect buy. I normally wear a 30 or 31 size jeans, I bought the small size Detour pants and they fit excellent. They are very comfortable, warm, and stylish. I commuted 60 miles round trip on the interstate to and from work in the cold Northwest on one of its coldest mornings of the year (about 20-30 degrees), and these pants kept me very warm with only jeans under them. Keep in mind, I was doing speeds of 60-70 the majority of the ride. Very cost effective pants, and you can remove the thermal liner when it gets too hot. The liner hook and loop design to hold the liners in place are poor and will tear when removing pants over biots if not careful, but I just take my boots off first and it's no problem. Sew some extra thread into the loops in the pants if you want them tNo be fully secured. Overall, I am a very pleased customer. Thanks Jafrum for an awesome experience.
Performed as describedby Gary - verified purchaser
I was pleased with the durability and features on t he riding pants. Zippers were heavy duty and vents were useful in the warmer time during ride.
Good riding pantsby 04SportyGuy - verified purchaser
I am a 32 waist and that is what I ordered. Fits very nicely Zipper is heavy duty. Easy off and on with side zippers. Button loops on removable lining has not been sewn on and fell out of pant leg the first time I put them on. Resewed them with heavier string and now the are 100% Rode today in 54 degree weather and they were warm and comfortable.
Detour8501MC Pantsby Ken Lehigh - verified purchaser
The last pants I had fell apart in 6 months. I'm sure these will last a lot longer. They are made from a very tough material. They are made for cool/cold weather though. I wear base layers under them to soak up the sweat.
Great Pants, Great Buy!by DAPST3R - verified purchaser
Comfortable and great fit, I definitely recommend getting at least 1 size up. Warm on the 30-40 degree mornings without the additional liner.
Detour 8501 Motorcycle Pants with Removable CE Armor Reviewby Billy - verified purchaser
Fit true, good construction and material. Knee pad pocket does get in the way when putting on and fly could give more room when putting on but overall awesome for the price.
Detour 8501 Motorcycle Pants Reviewby jamie - verified purchaser
just as others say, a little snug getting on but are great ! I have worn in them in 30's and 40's with a pair of jeans and all claims are on. Half the price of tourmaster with equal quality
Great pants!by Phil - verified purchaser
Had a excellent experience shopping with Jafrum! Fast shipping and superb quality pants! I am 5'11 and weigh 180 lbs, the size large fit perfectly. Opened the box tried on the pants and decided to go for a 'short' ride, well about 200 miles later in 50 degree weather, wind chill drops that into the 40's, pants kept me nice and warm! Comfortable the whole ride! Thank you Jafrum!
Detour 8501 Pants Reviewby WT - verified purchaser
The pants fit great and appear well made and a great value for the price. Although I normally wear a 32 inseam The pant appeared baggy if they break on the boot. The short does not appear baggy and are very comfortable. My normal waist size is in the 36 - 37 range and the large fit great. I have not ridden in them yet but I have worn them enough to expect they will be very comfortable and warm on a long ride
Great bang for the buckby Craig - verified purchaser
I bought these pants as I am on a limited budget and needed a pair of riding pants. I ordered the next size up as suggested in other reviews. After removing the inner liner and rain liner, the pants fit me perfectly. (note: I didn't need the other liners and the pants would have fit fine with them on.) They breath well in the heat and I felt comfortable on the bike. These are good quality and I'm happy to have them. All the gear, all the time!!! Thanks Jafrum
8501 Follow up...by Pete Yuckly - verified purchaser
in addition to the other weak areas of stitching, the crotch seam tore. Great fitting and protective pants, just didn't last a week of riding everyday. Returning. I am sure that Jafrum will take care of me! they always do!!
These Detour 8501 Textile Riding Pants are made of a durable water and abrasion resistant polynylon, and are an incredible value for the features and details that you get with these pants. They have a huge size range including regular sizes XS thru 4X, and Short and Tall sizes M thru 3X. Our model is 5'10", with an average build and proportion, and fits perfectly in the medium regulars. They have reinforced panels in all of the high-wear areas like the rear end and the knees, and all of the seams are double stitched. For protection, there is CE approved armor in the knees, and extra padding in common impact areas like the hips, shins, and lower back.
Storage is plentiful with the 8501's. There are polyester lined hand warmer pockets at the waist and mesh lined pockets on the thighs that double as vents.
The main closure features a zippered and gusseted fly with dual hook and loop straps for adjustability. The leg openings feature lightweight nylon zippers that are protected from the elements by these hook and loop flaps with reflective trim at the bottom. Inside the leg closure, you can see the removable quilted thermal liner that has its own metal zipper and the fixed waterproof liner with taped seams to keep the wet off of you.
The only things that separate these pants from ones that cost two to three times as much is that the exterior material is not completely waterproof nor are the zippers. You can treat the material, though, with a waterproofing spray, and the liner is waterproof. The other would be breathability of the waterproof liner. This liner is not going to allow hot air out of the garment like a high end Gore-Tex type liner will.

CODY ASCHE'S absence from the lineup last night wasn't as notable as Ryne Sandberg's choice to replace him.
With a lefty starter on the mound, Sandberg elected to go with Jayson Nix instead of Freddy Galvis as his righthanded hitting third baseman. While it might not have been a major story line, it was a good indication of the improvement that Galvis needs to show at the plate if he ever hopes to make the transition from utility whiz to Gold Glove regular.

Joseph Palermo: President Obama's much anticipated speech outlining his jobs agenda for the 2012 election year will sound a lot like a tiny mouse trying to make a loud roar. Instead of clarity, we'll get hedging; instead of "bold," we'll get wishy-washy.
You're Not Supposed to Be Happy
Tina Dupuy: The whole idea of a democracy is accepting you'll never fully get your own way in government.
Ding Dong, but Which is Dead?
James Livingston: The man was waiting and wanting to be captured, assuming the American legal tradition would protect him, even in a time of war.
White Elbows: "Better Than What?"
Rodolfo F. Acuña: My mother always knew that Mexicans had to be better than gringos if they were going to make it. We had to be cleaner; she would scrub my elbows until they were raw, trying to make them white. She bought us an Encyclopedia Britannica that none of us could read.
Mandatory E-Verify Is Not All It's Cracked Up to Be
Michele Waslin: While everyone agrees that high unemployment levels must be addressed, simplistic measures like mandating E-Verify are not going to open up jobs for millions of unemployed workers.
What Is To Be Done About the State of Our Union?
Lydia Howell: Nine months after taking office, Obama began slamming the Democratic Party's liberal/progressive base for daring to notice, much less criticize, his corporate-friendly policies and center-right positions. In the wake of his Simpson-Bowles Deficit Commission, Obama will likely make a sober call for national sacrifice.
Daring to Be Ourselves…Financially
Manisha Thakor: Women who consistently negotiate their salaries throughout their careers earn $1 million more over their work lives than women who do not. We pay a high price for not speaking up for ourselves financially in the workplace. Here are a few money mantras that may help.
Being There to Be Counted Isn't the Only Thing That Counts
In the end, if mutual respect and solidarity are ever to be constructed "interfaithedly", even the most ardent of believers will have to learn how to present what they see as The Truth as instead, Their Truth.

What I Learned in My 16 Years on the Tax Beat
System Is Shaky, but a Series of Changes Are on the Way; Some Funny and Sad Moments
Nearly 40 years ago, as a recent college graduate, I made a painful discovery: I couldn't figure out how to do my own federal income-tax return.
That was embarrassing, and it made me wonder what other Americans do. So I wrote my first major tax story: I asked five different tax-preparation services in the Atlanta area to prepare returns for a family of four with fairly typical finances. The results: At one extreme, a tax expert said the family was entitled to a federal income-tax refund of $652.04. But another said the family owed $141 -- a difference of $793.04.
That experience made me feel somewhat less dumb, but the article didn't have much impact: Since then, our tax system has evolved from a mess to a nightmare. The pace of change has accelerated in recent decades as lawmakers increasingly have tried to use tax laws to reward or punish conduct. The number of pages in the CCH Standard Federal Tax Reporter, which records tax law, regulations and related material, has soared to 70,320 from 26,300 in 1984.
More than 60% of all individual returns are signed by professional preparers, up from 46% in the mid-1980s. Joel Slemrod, an economics professor at the University of Michigan, estimates that the time and money individuals spend on tax compliance now comes to about $90 billion a year.
I am subjecting you to this semi-rant because this will be my final Tax Report as a full-time staffer for The Wall Street Journal, which I joined after graduating from college in 1968. After well over 1,000 articles on the tax beat since 1993, I have decided to retire, although I probably will write occasional pieces on taxes and other personal-finance subjects. I also plan to do more teaching at the college and graduate-school levels.
I leave with enormous respect and affection for the many talented lawyers, accountants, enrolled agents, Treasury and IRS officials and others who have taken pity on me over the years, supplying me with ideas and background for this column. I leave with special respect and admiration for my colleagues at this great newspaper, the only place I've worked since college. And I leave with high regard for our readers, whose questions and comments have helped and inspired me. As my friend and former colleague Glynn Mapes once said, it's not what you do. It's who you do it with. On that score, I have truly been blessed.
But I also leave with a growing sense that our tax system is in shaky condition and needs a major overhaul. We need a system that is much simpler and less burdensome. That won't happen with mere tinkering around the edges. Many people who have held top jobs at the IRS and Treasury agree. Our federal tax system is "so shot through with deductions, credits, exclusions, loopholes and outright noncompliance that it fails in its essential job of raising revenues efficiently," says Charles Rossotti, a former IRS Commissioner. "The complexity and instability of the tax system also leads people to believe that the average person always gets stuck, while the big hitters find ways to avoid paying, regardless of the advertised tax rates."
As Will Rogers once observed about tax forms: "Even when you make one out on the level, you don't know when it's through if you are a crook or a martyr."
Here are a few thoughts about what may lie ahead:
IRS crackdowns: President Barack Obama is asking Congress to give the IRS more money, especially for "enforcement." The message: Prepare for more audits, especially if you make $100,000 or more. Increasing the IRS audit rate is comparable to putting more police cars on the highways. When you see more patrol cars, you're more likely to stay within the speed limit. Also, it makes more sense to squeeze more money out of people who really owe it, instead of raising taxes on the vast majority of compliant taxpayers.
But there is a dark side: Many routine audits result in little or no change in the amount of tax owed. That means many taxpayers have to spend large amounts of time -- and money -- defending themselves when they already have paid what they owe.
IRS officials also are stepping up long-running efforts to nab more Americans hiding taxable income in secret foreign bank accounts. This initiative comes at a time when increasing numbers of legendary tax havens, including Switzerland, have pledged greater cooperation in combating tax cheating.
Tax shelters: IRS officials vow to continue their crackdown on shelters, or transactions they say have no real purpose other than to dodge taxes. Also, Congress might enact legislation that backers hope will help clarify the "economic substance" doctrine, long used by courts to disallow benefits from transactions that judges say have no substance or purpose other than tax avoidance. This is dangerous territory. Some lawyers think legislative proposals along these lines are so vague that they could torpedo legitimate business transactions. They say judges have done just fine deciding shelter cases without such a law.
Death and taxes: Congress will make major changes in the federal estate tax this year. If they take no action, the tax will disappear entirely next year, only to spring back to life in 2011. For 2009, the basic estate-tax exemption is $3.5 million, and the top rate is 45%. (However, one spouse typically can leave everything to the other spouse, tax-free.) Don't count on the estate tax disappearing next year. Instead, look for Congress to extend this year's rules, or something very close, into future years and make a few other tweaks.
New system? At some point, lawmakers will make a serious effort to overhaul the tax system. But don't expect that to happen anytime soon. Why? The pithiest explanation comes from Pam Olson, a Washington tax lawyer. As a Treasury official in 2002, Ms. Olson wrote a memo underscoring the need for a major tax overhaul. But in a section entitled "political risks," she warned: "Any reform is likely to have vocal losers and largely silent winners."
A few parting notes:
* * *
Strangest request: A reader who called himself a "senior, senior citizen" wrote several years ago to say he had amassed $2.1 million of stock-market losses.
"In order to use (and not lose them), I would have to marry a woman with large capital gains," he wrote. He said his accountant told him "it is not necessary to live together, and a divorce can be had after the tax loss is used up." If he filed a joint return, "her tax savings would be split between us. Needless to say, she can be properly protected by a prenuptial agreement. Your advice on how I might find such a lady would be greatly appreciated."
He added: "And should a fee or reward not be paid (and how much) to a person finding her?"
* * *
Worst day: Sept. 11, 2001. I was in my office at 200 Liberty Street, next door to where the twin towers stood, when the terrorists struck.
I dashed across the street to our home and told my wife, Marilyn, we had to leave the area immediately. As the first tower collapsed, we ran up the West Side highway, hand in hand, to escape the debris storm, and walked several miles to the Marriott Marquis hotel near Times Square, where I was scheduled to give a speech at a tax conference organized by Sid Kess, one of the nation's leading tax authorities. I assumed the conference had been cancelled. No, Mr. Kess told me. About half the 400 attendees were still there, and the show must go on.
I can't remember what I said, other than struggling to avoid tears.
* * *
Biggest embarrassment: I wrote a column late in 2001 mentioning the IRS's toll-free phone number and mistyped one digit. The next morning, I stared at the paper, thought the number looked odd, called it -- and reached a "psychic hotline" service. Senior IRS officials thought it was funny. My editor did not.

This volume deals with operations on the upper and lower jaws, surgical affections of the oral cavity, pharynx and salivary glands, surgery of the facial and cervical nerves, and surgery of the brain. There is the same general clinical character which was described in the review of the first volume of this work (The Journal, Feb. 5, 1916, p. 451), and this volume is also profusely illustrated with excellent colored plates. The chapter on the surgical treatment of epilepsy is interesting, and the author is conservative in his views as to the operative results in this condition.

BBC Olympics Site Revokes Jerusalem's Status as Israel's Capital
Latest update: July 25th, 2012
At this year's Olympics in London, there will be some unusual competitors. For one thing, for the first time there will be an Olympic competitor without a country. For another, there will be an Olympic team with a country, but no capital.
Guor Marial is a sleek runner from the newly-formed country of South Sudan. His country seceded from Sudan in a bloody civil war and is so new it has not yet had time to create a national Olympic committee.
The International Olympic Committee decided to allow Marial to compete as an independent athlete in clothing that does not have any flag or national identification. He will race under the Olympic flag.
Less heartwarming is the decision by the BBC, which won the right to broadcast the Olympic games, to present Israel to the world as a country without a capital.
Jerusalem originally showed up on the official website as the capital of a country, but it was East Jerusalem, and the capital was "Palestine," not Israel.
Following complaints filed last week by Mark Regev, a spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Olympics site was changed. Now Jerusalem does not appear as the actual capital of any country at all. Israel, shorn of its capital, appears with the cumbersome and questionable listing as having its "seat of government is Jerusalem though most foreign embassies are in Tel Aviv." And as for "Palestine," its key fact is that its "intended seat of government is East Jerusalem." For now, however, it at least has an "administrative capital" which is Ramallah.Lori Lowenthal Marcus

I'd love your advice!
Here are my 5 rostered goalies.
I know. FIVE? Drafting error of a rookie manager.
Henrik Lundqvist (NYR - G) 8-5-1 SV% .918 GAA 2.52 SO 1
Jaroslav Halak (Mon - G) 5-2-0 SV% .893 GAA 2.85 SO -
Jose Theodore (Was - G) 3-2-4 SV% .907 GAA 2.92 SO -
Marty Turco (Dal - G) 4-2-3 SV% .917 GAA 2.26 SO 1
Cam Ward (Car - G) 2-7-3 SV% .898 GAA 3.07 SO -
I think that Lundqvist is the easy keeper.
How would you rank the other 4 in order to keep and who is going to be a bust?
I need to cut 2 or 3 to start making up some offense in the non-goalie catagories.

Right now I have Smith who is on fire, but I just can't fit him in my line up and concidering packaging him in a trade. Also I have 2 centers on the bench (Spezza and Pavelski who should make my top 2 since Kesler is a machine these days) ( I would like a few option since I won't trade with team a head of me in ranks)
C -Ryan Kesler
C- Antione Vermette (filler until eithe Spedza or Pavelski is back)
D-Dunca Keith
D-Kyle Quincey
D-Jason Demers
D-Zach Bogosian
BN-Joe Corvo
BN-Ryan Smyth (I put him last week and he burned me and now thsi week he shows up, argh)
IR-Joe Pavelski
G-Ilya Bryzgalov
G- Chris Mason
BN- Jose Theodore
My Goaltending won me alot but it feels a bit shaky. My Head to Head loss are mostly in Goals, +/-, PIM and PPP.
Overall right now I'm doing good in my league (ranked 3) but that's after playing againts the bottom feeders in my league and having the best team bashing each other a few times.
Since FW is key in my league, once Pavelski comes back, I fear Marleau will get alot less FW which will hurt me alot.
What would be your sugestion on my roster? Wait it out, Bench Kane for Smyth? Trade either Spezza or Pavelski for a power play D man?
i have Toews (DTD) Hossa (IR) Kovie (IR) wondering if i should pick up any of the good FA's aval. in my league.
the FA's are Samuelson Plekanak Peverly Borrows MoulsonOkposo dubinsky. Thats the top ^ available i am 2nd in my 12 team roto league and 12 points back of first.

my team is 3 and 0 (CBS league) but i still think my team can be better. i was gunna offer my zetterberg, brad richards and cam ward for his M.A. fleury and kopitar. Note goals are worth more than assists and richards is on my bench. my team looks like this:
Marleau F
Cammalleri F
Parise F
Perry F
Penner F
Zetterberg F
Boyle D
Phaneuf D
Erhoff D
Barker D
Ward G
Lundqvist G
Richards Bn
Selanne Bn
Bieksa Bn

Another offer is maybe richards, penner and ward for fleury and kopitar. This way i trade them while they are hot and get to keep zetterberg. Another trade i know is in my favor but am not sure he will accept. My zetterberg, penner, richards and bieksa for his crosby, Alfredsson and doughty. would this even possibly get accepted? any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.

Hey I'd love your advice on a trade I am in a 20 team h2h league there are 11 offensive cats and 6 goalie cats. I was just offered stamkos and wolski for price, my other goalies are huet, toskala and McElhinney. Should I take it or is price to much to give up? any help is appreciated, thank you.

It's a funny little story about a 1950's American tomboy named Lucy and her spoiled older brother. With her vivid imagination, Lucy lives vicariously through her older brother's awesome Christmas gifts. Things take a turn when she receives her own lackluster gifts. Tanks for Nothin' is a great little cartoon with a retro aesthetic and classic art direction.
I spent a year developing and animating the story. It also has a great musical score composed by Travis Ragle and Joe Cisneros. All that my short film needs now is a great Sound Designer. Sound design is often undervalued, however, a good Sound Designer can mark the difference between the success or failure of an animated film. The sound effects often have a greater impact on the audience's response than the visuals.
I've been approached by a talented Sound Designer who created the sound design for an Academy Award winning short film. In order to have this amazing artist collaborate with me on Tanks for Nothin', we need to raise the funds for the sound studio/overhead. Being a student film, Tanks for Nothin' has no production budget. So I really need contributors to help me add this last and vital ingredient to my film.
I invite all animation lovers to contribute to this awesome project. I've poured my heart and soul into this short film and tenderly crafted every last frame. Help me take it the last leg of the journey.
