Great recipe. I cut the butter by 1/4 cup and replaced it with peanut butter. DELISH!
I cut back on the butter a little, used about 3/4 cup and once the eggs were in I whipped it until nice and fluffy (this seemed to make a huge difference from the first time I made them). I put them in a 9x13 and baked for 18 min PERFECT!!
These are REALLY good!! I am trying to keep myself from eating the whole pan! I did take others advice and put in a 9x13 pan, which I like because they are nice and dense. I did for 24 mins and they still are soft and chewy and delish!!! Very easy to mix up, less than 10 mins. Batter was VERY thick, couldn't spread very well, not a big deal tho.
this is a *great* recipe for a quick "happy birthday" (or other celebration) cookie! I use a 14" pizza pan instead, and bake at only 20 minutes. Let it cool, and decorate...if you have a neighborhood pizza parlor that lets you have a box...even better! My son's friends always ask me to make them a birthday cookie!
Freakin YUM. And sooo easy. I mixed it up, used half a package of chocolate chips and 1 cup of m&m's, plopped it all into my 9" glass pie plate and baked for about 23 minutes, or until the top and sides were golden brown but the middle was still slightly underbaked. We let it cool about an hour, which was quite a feat of willpower. Talk abotu perfect...it was exactly how we love our cookies..firm edges and fudgy, just slightly underbaked centers. This was soooo good and so easy. I'm making more tonight! Thanks for posting.
I made this tonight for a New Year's Eve party and man did it go over well! I prepared the recipe just as it was written except I used two 9" cake pans instead of the dish recommended. I cooked for 18 minutes and found it to be done very well. I cut them up like pizza slices and the group really enjoyed it. I will definitely be making this one again! Thanks for a great, and easy, recipe!
This is a wonderful classic recipe that I've been making for years. The recipe I received years ago indicated a 9x13 pan and that's what I've always used baking at 350 for about 27 min. I follow the recipe exactly, but sometimes add an additional 1/4 c. of chips. Anyone who likes chocolate should like these pan cookies. The idea of adding peanut butter or M&Ms seems like fun. Thanks for sharing.
Great Recipe! Made these cookies yesterday for the grandchildren and they make a really big batch. So much easier than having to make pan after pan of cookies. I baked these at 350 vs. 375 and they were still done in about 20 minutes. Thanks for the great post!
Easy and delicious!! I baked them on a 15x 10 inch pan lined with parchment paper so they came out of the pan beautifully and I was able to cut into neat squares. I only had to bake them for 15 minutes and they were perfect! Chewy and moist. Thanks for an awesome recipe!!
These are great!!! I left the vanilla out on accident and found a suggestion that was fabulous! 1 teaspoon of instant coffee, 1 teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of salt. Easier to work into the dough and the coffee enhanced the flavor of the chocolate.

NAMI Eastside seeks NAMIWalks participants and volunteers; agency offers free mental health support
Each year, the NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Eastside office at Redmond's Family Resource Center responds to approximately 4,000 walk-in visits, phone calls or e-mails from individuals and families affected by mental illness.
Yet for each person or family actively seeking information about mental illness or support groups, many more suffer in silence. Some just don't know where to go for help. Others keep their struggles to themselves because of common misconceptions and prejudices against people with mental health disorders.
About 400 NAMI Eastside board members, volunteers and supporters will participate in the 2010 NAMIWalks-Washington event on Saturday, May 15 in Seattle's Magnuson Park. Joined by NAMI affiliates from Seattle, Spokane, Yakima and elsewhere, their goal will be to raise $150,000 for NAMI programs statewide.
"NAMI is the largest education, support and advocacy organization that serves the needs of all those whose lives are touched by brain diseases," said Paul Beatty, NAMI Eastside board member.
"This includes persons with mental illness, their families, friends, employers, the law enforcement community and policy makers," said Beatty. "NAMI does the work of no other agency. No one is charged for the services of NAMI and no one is turned away."
As well as raising money for NAMI, the NAMIWalks-Washington event strives to raise awareness of the prevalence of mental illness, to fight the stigma "and bring out the fact that our mental health system needs an overhaul," Beatty stated.
A handout from NAMI Eastside points out, "Mental illness is not a choice. Mental illnesses are physical brain disorders that disrupt a person's thinking, feeling, moods and ability to relate to others. One in four families is affected by a severe mental illness such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or major depression. Mental illnesses are more common than cancer, diabetes or heart disease. Mental illnesses are treatable just like any other illness."
NAMI Eastside holds monthly forums on mental health topics at Evergreen Hospital and Bellevue College, as well as classes and support groups at the NAMI Eastside office and other locations in Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah and Bothell. A Spanish-speaking support group is available. All programs and classes are free and open to the public.
But in addition to offering these organized events, NAMI Eastside staff and volunteers often are like a candle in the dark for individuals or families in unexpected, terrifying and life-threatening situations.
"Think of the family whose little 14-year-old daughter goes on Facebook, threatening suicide," said NAMI Eastside board president Mike Rynas. "We advocate for folks who don't know where to turn or are embarrassed."
Rynas described other calls to the NAMI Eastside office. "Kids are kicked out of school for odd behavior," he explained. In one recent case, a teenage boy was standing next to a school's flagpole in the pouring rain, despondent, head down. A police officer picked him up, not quite sure what to do with him. Mental illness isn't always recognized or understood, Rynas said.
"Someone takes a child (with mental illness) to the hospital four times — no one pays attention," Rynas continued. "We advocate for them. Kids with heart disease would be seen right away."
Beatty has spoken to many police department panels, because people with untreated mental illness often end up in the criminal justice system.
"Some police have been around a long time, but have never heard of NAMI," said Beatty. "We give our cards to them and let them know that we can be a resource."
Rynas agreed, "If we can cut the time between the crisis occurring and getting that family support, that is what we try to do."
Anyone in the community is welcome to join the NAMI Eastside contingent at the NAMIWalks-Washington event. For information or to make a donation, visit www.nami.org/NAMIWalks10/SEA/namieastside.
Volunteers, especially those with computer skills and/or Web design experience, are also needed at the NAMI Eastside office, 16315 NE 87th St., Suite B-4 in Redmond. For information, call (425) 885-6264 or e-mail email@example.com.

Francona led the Red Sox for eight seasons (2004-11) and compiled a record of 744-552. He managed the Philadelphia Phillies 1997-2000.
While it was a hectic afternoon with the main attractions, including Tennessee coach Dave Serrano and Tennessee Baseball Hall of Fame inductee R.A. Dickey, being tugged in different directions, InsideTennessee was lucky enough to steal Francona away for a quick interview.
IT: You've done some managing with the Birmingham Barons of the Southern League, what are some of your memories of being in east Tennessee?
Francona:They had a team in Memphis when I was a player. It goes back aways.
The ballpark was old. The old stadium was old. I came through as a player, as a manager. It was another stop in the Southern League, but I have good memories. It was good baseball everywhere we went. A lot of bus rides, but a lot of good baseball.
IT: While leading the Barons, you had the opportunity to make out a lineup card with Michael Jordan in the outfield. How did that media frenzy prepare you for life in Boston?
Francona:You get put into a situation where you're with media with arguably the biggest superstar in the world. Just a great learning experience — how to handle people because that's what being a manager is. So, it was a great learning experience.
IT: Do you still have a relationship with Jordan?
Francona:I hear from him from time to time. I try not to bug him. I saw first hand how busy he is, so I try not to bug him. But, I talk to him every once in awhile.
IT: How do the baseball player compare with Jordan athletically-speaking? Anybody you'd put up there in his category?
Francona:Michael Jordan's a pretty special guy. I played with Pete Rose, Dustin Pedroia, played with a lot of Hall of Famers. He's special, and I didn't get to see him on the basketball court, which is where he was truly special. But, the good ones or the great ones are all the same — if you tell them no, they're going to make the answer be yes.
IT: They've changed the bats on a few occasions in the college game, how does that help scouts diagnose what kind of a pro a guy could be?
Francona:I think it's got to be good. I don't understand the technology behind it. It was so difficult to gauge hitters. It was difficult to gauge pitchers. Pitchers didn't learn how to pitch. They were afraid to pitch in because you didn't get rewarded for it. You couldn't break somebody's bat and the ball would still go a long way. I think this will be a lot more fair. You might not see some of the prodigious numbers that you saw in the past, but I think it will make it a lot easier to judge whether a guy can play at the next level.
IT: With conference, regional and College World Series games on television these days, are you surprised at where college baseball is popularity-wise in 2012?
Francona:I think it's great. In Major League clubhouses there's always games on. Everybody's a fan of baseball whether it's college or Little League World Series. If it's televised, it's on in a Major League clubhouse.
IT: You had Tim Wakefiield under you in Boston. Current New York Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey is being honored. How tough is the knuckleball to develop as a pitch that you can take as your No. 1 pitch to the mound at the highest level?
Francona:You'd have to ask Tim that. There's only two. It's not easy to do. It's not easy to be a manager either because you've got to sit there and know there's going to be wild pitches, know there's going to be stolen bases. The truly great ones find a way to make it work. I'm proud of R.A. He's had arm problems. He was told by some teams he wasn't good enough, but he found a way to make himself a really valuable Major League pitcher.
IT:What are your plans moving forward?
Francona:I'm going to work for ESPN this year. I'm going to jump in with both feet and see how it goes and see where it takes me.
I'll do the Sunday night games with Orel Hersheiser and Dan Shulman.
R.A. Dickey

Kim Rothstein Sentenced to 18 Months in Federal Prison
via Twitter
Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein's wife, Kim Rothstein has been sentenced to 18 months in prison, followed by two years of probation.
The sentence was handed down Tuesday afternoon at Fort Lauderdale federal court.
While prosecutors were pushing for at least two years, the judge cited Rothstein's cooperation as to why she was given a lighter sentence.
In February, Kim plead guilty on her conspiracy charge to commit money laundering after it was discovered that she and her pals concealed more than $1 million worth of jewelry from the federal government, including a 12.08-carat diamond ring worth 450 grand.

Kim's former attorney Scott Saidel and her friend Stacie Weisman, had cooked up a scheme to sell the jewelry and then persuade Scott to lie during a sworn deposition when he was asked about the diamond ring.
Kim, 39, purportedly tried to stash and hide from the feds an intense yellow VS2 radiant-cut colored diamond, which is supposedly very rare and very large.
Scott had purchased the ring for $403,012 back in July 2008.
Before the feds seized the Rothsteins' assets back in November 2009, Kim Rothstein, Saidel, and Weisman "knowingly took action to conceal certain items of jewelry, valued in excess of one million dollars," according to federal prosecutors.
Kim filed for divorce from Scot just last week, and had requested that a federal court give her a break on prison time before Tuesday's sentencing.
Hiding a $450,000 ring from the feds and then pretending it never existed is far cry from the $1.4 billion Ponzi scheme her husband put together, but it's still a pretty big deal.
Or, at least, 18 months and two years of probation kind of a big deal, anyway.
"I'm willing to serve my time with dignity," Rothstein said in court today. "I'm very ashamed and I'm Willing to pay the consequences."
Now ex-husband Scott is currently serving 50 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to five felony charges for orchestrating the biggest investment fraud in South Florida history.

Training camp has only been underway for one week, but there have been plenty of notes and observations for the Baltimore Ravens. From the offensive line to position battles to surprising standouts to injured stars, all the takeaways from the first week of training camp are consolidated here.
Overall, it's mostly good news for the Ravens. The tests continue to get more difficult as the team moves from camp to preseason to the regular season, but the offense is coming along and young players are stepping up.
Tyrod Taylor, Kyle Juszczyk and Kamar Aiken have all made an impact in training camp, solidifying their roles or making their case to stay on the final roster. There is plenty of time left for other developments, but these are the first impressions from Ravens camp.

Guerlain is victorious once again–having won Brand of the Year in 2009 last–because of well-edited, interesting collections and launches of innovative new products. When I think about brand of the year, I think about the products that are most memorable, the ones that I continued to use outside of testing, products I know I'll return to. This year, Guerlain has consistently put out new favorites. You have Wulong (beautiful, glowy highlighter/finishing powder), Rouge G L'Extrait (Orgueil in particular), Turandot (an autumnal eyeshadow quad), Liu (holiday palette), lovely blush duos, more shades of Rouge G, and Shine Automatique. Guerlain delivers soft, divine textures paired with rich hues and luminous finishes, and they so often do it in beautiful, elegant packaging, too.
2012 Budget Beauty Brand of the Year
L'Oreal takes top honors this year, with the release of fantastic products such as their Infallible Eyeshadows and Colour Riche Nail Lacquers, in addition to their existing range. But these two new formulas really clinched the win this year, because they weren't just memorable, but truly fantastic products that captivated the beauty community at large. L'Oreal also has excellent core products, like their Lineur Intense, along with much of the L'Oreal HIP range.
2012 Best High-End Niche Brand of the Year
Le Metier de Beaute is a luxury line that is, luxury-priced, so it tends to fly under the radar, and while it seems to have popped up on more people's radars this year, it still seems like a quiet, niche brand to me. I feel like when Le Metier de Beaute launches a new shade or formula, they've done so with every intention of having perfected it already. They have stellar textures in their eyeshadows, glosses, blushes, and cream blushes. Even their nail polish is divine to use–very pigmented, beautiful fluidity, and great wear. Some of my favorite products include Echo blush, Papaya Creme Lipgloss, and their eyeshadows.
2012 Best Budget Niche Brand of the Year
This year, Fyrinnae, which is a brand that is already highly appreciated and lauded for its original colors and formulas, plus for its ever-famous Pixie Epoxy primer, they launched pressed eyeshadows. Ahh–if you, like me, still much prefer your pressed over loose in eye color (I love loose eye colors, but I very rarely reach for them!), this was such a welcomed release. It was particularly impressive how well they managed to translate the loose color to the pressed form. You could tell that a lot of care went into the rollout of the pressed eyeshadows. Fyrinnae also makes an assortment of intriguing, not-your-everyday lip colors in the form of Lip Lustres. One facet of Fyrinnae that is really nice the options to purchase sample sizes of many of their products, which enables you to try an assortment and only commit fully to your favorites.
2012 Most Underrated High-End Brand
Burberry is a brand that continually delivers impressive, near-perfect (and sometimes perfect) products, formulas, and shades, and yet, I don't hear the name Burberry often enough. I think the higher price point, combined with the somewhat limited distribution (or at least, in-store distribution) has contributed to that, but so often I hear from readers who've caved and purchased a Burberry Beauty product and then fallen in love. The texture of their powders is heavenly; so soft, finely-milled, and smooth. Their lipsticks are long-wearing, comfortable, and rich in color (and there is also a sheerer range, for those who prefer less color coverage). A few of my favorite products from the past year have been Earthy (natural blusher) and their Lip Velvets (matte lipsticks).
2012 Most Underrated Budget Brand
Drugstore brands have been doing some BIG! and INCREDIBLE! things in the past couple of years, and lately, Milani's been creating amazing products but isn't getting enough credit for them. In 2012, Milani released incredible cream shadow pencils and intensely pigmented powder eyeshadows that were quite fantastic. And they're two types of products that aren't always done as superbly as Milani managed to do at mass.

Proposed civic center property a plum for the city
Mr. Gilmore
Mr. Walgamott
are opposed to the City of Woodinville acquiring the Sorenson School for use as a community complex. I cannot resist stating the facts about the ownership of the Sorenson School site.
The site belongs to the Northshore School District. The Northshore School District is all of the Northshore School District--not just the taxpayers thereof that reside in the City of Woodinville.
The residents of the City of Bothell, the town of Kenmore, the areas of Moorlands, Canyon Park, Cottage Lake, parts of Juanita, Hollywood Hill, parts of Kingsgate--all those people also own the Sorenson complex.
I don't think it would be very satisfactory to the taxpayers in Woodinville if the Northshore School District gave a school site in Bothell to the taxpayers of that city, and furthermore, they are precluded by law from doing so.
Mr. Walgamott and Mr. Gilmore are trying to cloud the issue by convincing you, the taxpayers, that you already own the Sorenson School site. In effect you do, but as a taxpayer of the Northshore School District--not as a taxpayer of the City of Woodinville. Therefore, you must reimburse all the other taxpayers of the Northshore School District for their site.
Now, if the situation was turned around and the Northshore School District wanted a site in the City of Woodinville that the taxpayers of the city owned, wouldn't you be expected to want reimbursement for it? If the taxpayers in the City of Woodinville had paid for it, wouldn't they expect all the taxpayers of the Northshore School District to reimburse them?
You think about it--and if the bonds are on the ballot again this fall, you do the only rational thing the City of Woodinville can do and that is acquire that complex while they still can. No other city I can think of has ever had the opportunity to aquire such a plum right in the center of the city for a Civic Complex.
And don't listen to naysayer Mr. Dixon, either. Those buildings are not ready to be torn down. The only thing wrong with the old school is that the wiring and the plumbing are inadequate--but aren't we all grateful that Jim and Rosemary McAuliffe didn't tear their old schoolhouse down?
The Sorenson School could never be replaced for the cost it is being sold for. That building is almost maintenance free, has movable interior walls and will serve the city with adequate office space for decades to come. I know, because my husband was on the School Board when the site was selected and then worked for the School District and helped plan and supervise the construction of the school.
I would personally be the first in line to vote for this bond issue, but, you see, I can't. I don't live in the City of Woodinville. So I think the city should acquire this property and then charge all of us that weren't bright enough to be in the city a fee to use it!
Since the School District has declared the site surplus, they will have to put it on the market within a reasonable time and sell it to the highest bidder. Urge your city councilperson to support putting it back on the ballot this fall and then get out and get everyone you can to vote for it!
Donna DeYoung, Hollywood Hill

Clean and functional
I had a one night stay on business, before needing to get a train from Paddington early the next morning. It was fine - functional and small, but very clean and with everything I needed. The bathroom is tiny but again, for a short, functional stay it was perfectly fine.

A Toledo man has filed a lawsuit against the estate of Judge William Skow, claiming he was struck by a vehicle driven by the judge while he was walking across an intersection in 2008.
Mark Lewis II's complaint was filed Monday in Lucas County Common Pleas Court. His attorney, William Lindsley, asks for $1 million in damages to pay for Mr. Lewis' medical bills and other costs.
According to the complaint, Mr. Lewis was crossing Sylvania Avenue at Upton Avenue about 10:50 p.m. March 14, 2008, when a vehicle struck him. Mr. Lewis apparently was in the crosswalk, and the driver "failed to yield the right-of-way," the lawsuit said. The lawsuit further said Judge Skow was driving the vehicle.
Judge Skow died June 21.
Mr. Lewis incurred about $100,000 in medical bills from his injuries, the suit said. The case was assigned to Judge Frederick McDonald.

WILHITE: Warmer weather on the way, but severe storms lurk | VIDEO
Warmer weather is expected to filter into the area today through Thursday, but there's a downside to the improved temperatures: Severe weather will be possible later this week when a cold front sweeps through the region.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed the region in a "slight risk" area for severe weather for Thursday, with damaging winds the main threat. Isolated tornadoes and large hail are also possible.
Check out Michael Wilhite's video for more information on the forecast.

If you're gearing up to watch Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen testify today before the House Ways and Means Committee, here's a preview of what to expect. Committee Chairman Dave Camp's (R-Mich.) formal announcement of the hearing, which begins at 9 a.m. Eastern Time today (Friday, June 20), says the he and his colleagues will focus on the IRS' recent statement about Lois Lerner's emails, both the communications furnished and those lost in a computer crash. So far, according to the IRS, the agency has or expects to hand over around 67,000 emails relevant to the investigation into the... Read more →

Find C-SPAN on your local television provider's schedule and set your DVRs. Things are going to get exciting on Friday, June 20, and Monday, June 23. That's when Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen will be on Capitol Hill to explain why his agency can't hand over a chunk of emails to and from Lois Lerner. Koskinen is the only witness for the 9 a.m. Eastern Time hearing Friday, June 20, before the House Ways and Means Committee. He also will be solo at 7 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, June 23, when he answers questions from the House Oversight... Read more →
Anyone who uses a computer knows that unfortunate things happen. You hit a wrong key and that email you meant to send to just your best buddy ends up in the mailboxes of all your coworkers. Thank goodness at least the boss wasn't on that mail list! A stray finger stroke and all your hard work disappears. Please, please, please IT guys, save me! Or your machine suddenly decides to give up the ghost, taking your digitized life with it. Well, it seems that our federal tax agency also has its own technology troubles.

The Internal Revenue Service's policy that allows it to award bonuses to employees who haven't paid their taxes is wrong. So is rewarding employees who faced disciplinary action. That, however, is what happened. A Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) audit found that the IRS paid $2.8 million in bonuses to employees with recent disciplinary problems. Just more than $1 million of those rewards went to workers who owed back taxes. In addition to cash rewards, the employees in question also received additional time off from work as bonuses.

What did we learn during IRS Commissioner John Koskinen's appearance today before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee? First, real witnesses aren't necessary. Koskinen was making his first visit before the Oversight panel to discuss how the Internal Revenue Service previously handled and is now dealing with applications for 501(c)(4) nonprofit status. Just in case you have 3½ hours and want to watch the fireworks yourself. The new IRS chief was treated the same way as most other witnesses on this topic have been. He was asked long, politically-tinged questions and then, for the most part, was not allowed... Read more →
We didn't learn anything new about how the Internal Revenue Service used to handle 501(c)(4) applications at the contentious Congressional hearing this week, but since its dramatic ending, things have changed. In case you missed the hearing, Lois Lerner was back before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as it continued its investigation into the IRS' questionable tactics in reviewing applications for that favorable tax-exempt status. The quick recap is that Lerner showed up but once again took the Fifth and didn't testify. An irked Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chair of the committee, ended the hearing early and abruptly....

Tempers flare at IRS hearing. Reality show, anyone?
Wednesday, March 05, 2014
A couple of U.S. Representatives have stumbled across a way for Uncle Sam to raise more revenue without worrying about raising anybody's taxes. Just turn the halls of Congress into a reality show. I know, there's C-SPAN. I'm a big fan of the public affairs channel. But with just a tinch of tweaking as happens with the so-called reality shows that are already so popular, Congress could have a hit on its hands. In fact, Reps. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) filmed the potential program's pilot today during yet another hearing on Internal Revenue Service operations. Check it... Read more →
Maybe the National Taxpayer Advocate's recommendations came too late in the budgeting process. Or maybe members of Congress just like whacking the most hated federal agency with a fiscal bludgeon. Whatever the reason, the Internal Revenue Service is going to have to make do with less money in fiscal year 2014 under the omnibus budget bill worked out this week on Capitol Hill. UPDATE: The House passed the spending bill Wednesday, Jan. 15, afternoon by a bipartisan 359-to-67 margin. It now awaits Senate action. And that means all of us taxpayers will probably suffer at least a little bit this... Read more →
You remember the Internal Revenue Service's inappropriate targeting of groups seeking tax-exempt status based on the organizations' political leanings, right? When the word about the clumsy application review process was leaked to the media by now retired IRS executive Lois Lerner in advance of a damaging Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) report, Congress jumped right into the middle of the mess. Republican-led House committees held what seemed like daily hearings on IRS tax-exempt review techniques, particularly as they applied to Tea Party and other conservative groups. Democrats countered with evidence that liberal and progressive groups also got added... Read more →
A lot of attention has been paid, rightfully, to the federal workers who are on furlough or working for free until Capitol Hill agrees on a fiscal 2014 budget. Among those sitting out the political stalemate are around 86,000 Internal Revenue Service rank and file workers. But as the shutdown approached, there also were some changes -- or not -- at the IRS' executive level. Werfel remains, for a while: First, the top guy's status. Daniel Werfel stepped in as Acting IRS Commissioner (his title was tweaked for administrative reasons in June) after word broke, and Congressional hearings began, on... Read more →
Just like filmdom's persistent poltergeists, Congressional attacks on the Internal Revenue Service are back. House Republicans are hoping that new looks into IRS improprieties in dealing with applications for tax-exempt status will recapture public attention. IRS email appetizers: The stage was reset by an unbylined outlook piece in the Wall Street Journal this week entitled "Lois Lerner's Own Words." House Ways and Means Chairman Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.) posted the column in full on the committee's website and sent out an "in case you missed it" notification of the article via email. The newspaper looks at emails between Lerner, now... Read more →
Since May, we -- OK, primarily tax geeks and members of Congress -- have focused on the issue of tax-exempt status. This is because on May 10 we learned that the Internal Revenue Service had a questionable system of assessing whether a group that might engage in some political activity should be allowed to operate as a nonprofit. The main issue is whether the IRS improperly relied on its perception of the organizations' political leanings. Tea Party groups said they did and cried foul. It later was revealed that more liberal groups also got extra IRS scrutiny. That battle is... Read more →
The controversy over how and which groups the Internal Revenue Service targeted in assessing applications for nonprofit status is heading to court. Maryland Democratic Rep. Chis Van Hollen, the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, will be the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit expected to be filed today in federal district court challenging the IRS' interpretation of the law that governs the tax status of social welfare organizations. UPDATE, 2 p.m. Aug. 21: It's official. The lawsuit has been filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. You can read the press release issued by the... Read more →
The richest 20 percent of Americans enjoy more than half of the benefits from 10 major tax breaks. That's the analysis of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office in its report, "The Distribution of Major Tax Expenditures in the Individual Income Tax System," released last week. The tax breaks -- or expenditures as they are known in legislative circles -- include tax deductions, tax credits, preferential tax rates for certain types of income and income that is excluded from taxes. The CBO grouped the expenditures into four categories: Exclusions from taxable income, which includes employer-sponsored health insurance, net pension contributions and... Read more →
A whistleblower who exposed a tax fraud scheme by Enron and Wall Street firms has been awarded a $1.1 million reward by the Internal Revenue Service. The payout came from the new IRS Whistleblower Office, but was made under prior, less generous guidelines. Those older rules, which still apply in some instances, call for a reward of up to 15 percent of the money that the IRS recovers based on the information. The whistleblower office was revamped in 2006. Now when whistleblower information about alleged tax cheating leads to IRS collection of unpaid taxes and the subsequent recovery amount exceeds...

The National Hot Rod Association's tax-exempt status could soon be under IRS scrutiny.

Owens, a senior member in the Washington, D.C., law firm Caplin & Drysdale. Photo... Read more →

A tax expert's take on illegal political activity by tax-exempt organizations
Wednesday, October 06, 2010
I love it when the tax stars align. Yesterday I noted that some political watchdog groups and the head of the Senate's tax-writing committee have asked the IRS to look into whether tax-exempt groups are illegally engaging in political activities. Then today, TaxProf points me to Election Law @ Mortiz, where Donald Tobin, senior fellow for election law at Moritz College of Law at Ohio State University, examines whether these tax-exempt groups are as clever as they seem. These Section 501(c)(4) organizations are, according to the section of the Internal Revenue Code that gives them their name, "social welfare organizations."... Read more →
Karl Rove group, other tax-exempt orgs under fire for alleged political activities
Tuesday, October 05, 2010
You've got to love the theater that is U.S. politics even if you don't like the actual results. As the Nov. 2 midterm election day nears, mud (and other organic material) definitely is being slung. And some folk are worried that not only are aspersions being cast, but that they're being done so improperly. So they asking the IRS to look into suspected improper political activities. Democracy 21 and the Campaign Legal Center contend that Crossroads GPS, a conservative group back by Karl Rove, is violating tax laws meant to limit political activity by nonprofit groups. In a letter to... Read more →
Earlier today, nearly 100 pastors spoke to their congregations about political issues. The special sermons were part of this year's Pulpit Freedom Sunday. Like the first Pulpit Freedom Sunday in 2008, also a general election year, the ministers are defying tax laws that say tax-exempt organizations cannot support politicians and keep their tax-advantaged status. The ministers, egged on encouraged by the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based nonprofit Alliance Defense Fund, say they are just exercising their right to free speech. Yes, reverends, you, like every other American, can say pretty much what you want. But if your group is getting a tax break,... Read more →

In preparing future Christian leaders, Campbellsville University has expanded its campus footprint throughout Kentucky with Regional Education Centers. These centers can be found in Louisville and Somerset, in addition to the main Campbellsville campus. Offering part-time and long-distance coursework for continuing students, our three Campbellsville University locations allow you to fulfill your academic dreams.
Currently, the CU Louisville center offers associate, bachelor, and master degrees in a wide variety of fields. These include programs in Business, Criminal Justice, Education, Social Work and Theology all of which are grounded in Christian values. Furthermore, the Louisville center also boasts an English as a Second Language Institute (ESLI), which guides nonnative English speakers to improve their speaking, reading, and writing skills. To speed up the learning process, CU Louisville offers programs on an accelerated 8 week term basis with classes that only meet one night per week (Monday-Thursday). At this pace, students can expect to receive a degree in as little as 18 months.
Meanwhile, the Larry and Beverly Noe Somerset Education Center offers five accelerated bachelor's programs for adult learners. These include the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (with a Human Resource Management emphasis), Criminal Justice Administration, Early Childhood Education, Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education, and Social Work.

Tuition fees are also reduced for Somerset Community College students.

Tracking B2B Acknowledgenents in BPEL
Oct 8, 2008 12:38 AM
Hello Team,
Kindly Advice on the below given requirement that we have.
Use Case:- 10.1.2 BPEL and B2B
1. A BPEL process (BPELA) populates the header and payload for 3B2 Rosettanet message and sends it to B2B.
2. An Ack message generated by the Host TP can be seen in the B2B reports.
Our design is such that, we would have to persist all the Acks based on the msg_id that we generate from BPELA in to a separate customer database for reporting purposes.
Now, we want to get the Ack through either in BPELA or a new BPEL Process
The things we tried
1. We had a Recieve Activity bound to the Host TP Partnerlink, having a correlation set defined based on the MSG_ID on the header
We found that the correlation sets can be applied only on the payload and not on the headers
2. We wrote a new BPEL listening to IP_IN_QUEUE,
We got the "Reciept Acknowledgement" Message but could not correlate it with the MSG_ID that we generate out of BPELA
3. We want to listen only to the "Receipt Acknowledgement" message from the IP_IN_QUEUE (tried a couple of steps like "message selector" with funny and sensible values like(having a condition on "ACTION_NAME=='Receipt Acknowledgement" etc.) never worked for us.
Also, we know that b2b_messageinstance view provides this information, but we dont want to go to the database to pick it up.
We would greatly appreciate if you could advice on a best possible way to address this through B2B-BPEL channels.

Nice mild sweet combination of mango and sweet potato without it being too artificial. My baby is 9 months old and can't quite pick up the small pieces on his own yet but enjoys it alot with I pop it into his mouth. Convenient container but it is not airtight. I have to store the whole bottle in the fridge else it'll get stale easily. Will definitely try the other flavours! >>>>>>>>>>> Click on my page link above to read about my favourite iherb purchases for my family.

Good treat snack for infants practicing their fine motor skills. They are a real test for little ones learning hand eye coordination and probably better for toddlers.

With 20 percent of the Tulane regular season in the books, here's the most pertinent statistic about the Green Wave: In 11 games, there have been 11 different starting lineups.
Obviously this is a work in progress, one caused in large part by the rib injury which has the team's top hitter of 2008, sophomore third baseman Rob Segedin, on the shelf indefinitely.
It's a process that is likely to continue this week as Tulane (7-4) hosts Southern California (3-4) in a three-game series at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
"We're still trying to offset the loss of Segedin both offensively and defensively, " Green Wave Coach Rick Jones said. "The bottom line is that when you lose a guy like that, you don't fix it immediately, especially when you have the depth issues we have player-position wise."
Segedin, who began the season at designated hitter because of lingering problems from offseason back surgery, has missed the past six games with a stress reaction in his ribs, which is a precursor to a stress fracture. It is considered unrelated to his back condition.
No timetable has been given for Segedin's return, although Jones said he must be pain-free before he can begin rehab. At the least, Segedin won't be making next week's trip to UC Irvine, and his return could take considerably longer.
Segedin's absence has created a problem at third base, where senior Steve Moritz, freshman Evan Mistich and redshirt freshman Matt Ryan all have been used.
"You may not see the same guy there all weekend," Jones said.
It's not just replacing Segedin's bat (.322 average with 59 RBI in 2008). Despite 17 errors last year, he was a much better fielder than Moritz and Mistich, and Ryan failed to earn the spot with his preseason offense.
Segedin also was the team's closer last fall with five saves. That has been less of a problem thus far because of a deep pitching staff, but as the quality of opposition markedly improves, his 93 MPH fastball will be missed.
Jones said it is extremely doubtful that Segedin can pitch any this season.
"We can turn this into a positive by giving guys experience they might not be getting otherwise," Jones said. "But right now, it's a balancing act."
Moritz's time at third also has made for some adjustments at catcher, where freshman Jeremy Schaffer has displaced returning starter Jared Dyer. Moritz was the prime backup at the position last season and started Wednesday's 12-3 victory against Northwestern State.
Otherwise, the Green Wave's position lineup has been consistent, even if the batting order has changed daily.
One player who has benefited from change has been shortstop Josh Prince, who hit .214 batting second but in two games against Northwestern State hitting ninth was 6-8, including his first home run.
"There's a lot less pressure hitting in the nine hole," Prince said. "You see more fast balls, and with the guys hitting behind me a 1, 2 and 3, there's no pressure to do anything extraordinary."
Regardless of who's hitting where, timely hitting is a major need. Tulane has stranded 34 more runners than its opponents. More hits like Moritz's two-out, two-run single Wednesday would be greatly welcomed.
The pitching has been solid for the most part, holding opponents to a .240 average with a 3.40 ERA, both improvements on last year's marks. A big boost has been received from senior Josh Zeid, who worked only 16 innings last year but is 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA as the Sunday starter this season.
"So far, we're not good enough offensively to offset days when we don't pitch and play defense at a high level," Jones said. "Some days, we're just rolling the dice to see who has the hot hand."
There is another number that has Jones' attention. The Wave's 7-4 record has been fashioned against teams which do not figure to make the NCAA Tournament. Last year, Tulane was 18-1 against similar non-conference foes.
"It's a concern," Jones said. "We always set that standard for ourselves, although I think last year's team started with a higher expectation level than what we started with this year.
"But we can't bring those games back. What we do is build and try to get stronger."

I've been playing Pokemon a lot lately, haven't I? Well, at least this one's a new release. So here's my team:
Nickname: Vegan
Like my replay of White, I went with Grass for this entry. It's the only one of the starters where I like both the initial guy and what he evolves into. While Snivy has trouble taking out guys on his own, he's a great team player and has an unusual mix of bulk and speed. Last time I nicknamed him Han Solo, but this time I wanted to focus on a group of people. I think I found the smuggest of them all.
Nickname: Dug
I had to catch someone to help out Vegan early on since he can't dish out too much damage and the second gym used Poison types, which ironically is only strong against Grass types. So once I found a Growlithe in the wild, he earned an automatic spot on the team. He's one of my very favorite Pokemon. I especially love how he looks like a normal animal, but his design has it make sense that he breathes fire in the Pokemon universe. He's also a great choice for a team, as he can take a hit as well as dish one out all at a good speed.
The nickname's because I really love the movie Up.
I spent a surprisingly long time with just Vegan and Dug. Eventually though, I needed someone else for Triple and Rotational battles, and right around that time I was given a Zorua. So I just kept him on my team. He did well, with great speed and attacking stats. The real star though was his ability. It made him take the appearance of the last guy on my team. So if I sent out my Arcanine, he'd look exactly like one down to the nickname, but would still have his own moves, typing, and stats. Which worked amazingly with a Pokemon I later caught.
Couldn't nickname him. Basically, he used to belong to the last game's kind of villain until he released all his Pokemon, so he just had the name Gamefreak gave him. I guess it's not that bad, since I didn't have enough letters to name him Mystique Jackson (blend of Mystique and Michael Jackson.)
Another one of my all time favorites. I'm not a huge fan of Trapinch, like the design, but man is he a pain to use. Once he evolves though, he gains a Dragon typing which works well with his other Ground typing and ability Levitate (gives an immunity to Ground moves). Fortunately, he was just three levels away from evolving when I caught him, so it didn't take long. I like Flygon and Vibrava because they have the image of a dragon Pokemon that doesn't feel like some kind of demi god mythical creature. They're just another awesome creature in the wild.
Flygon's one of the few Pokemon I can never come up with a nickname for though, so he just stayed Flygon.
Nickname: Steve Holt
As you people know, I really love Heracross. I kind of had to made him fit on my team later on as his weaknesses and resistances left me vunerable to some other typings, but it was worth it. His attack stat and the power of the moves he gets makes him incredibly deadly. I really love everything about this guy. He was either first or last, as Zoroark would love the Psychic attacks he was immune to, but trainers constantly used against him while under disguise.
This should explain the nickname when you look at how these two pose:
(Temporary) Spheal/Sealeo/Walrien
Nickname: JohnLennon
I picked these guys to get a Water type to carry me around places. They were a big help for most of their time on my team, especially when I had to go against the Dragon type gym leader (their secondary Ice typing really puts a dent on Dragons). Eventually though, my team needed someone replaced in favor of something that resisted Rock and Flying type moves, as no one else did.
I was going to make a Big Lebowski reference by naming him STFU Donny or VI Lennin, but instead opted for the one that was funny whether or not you saw that movie enough times to remember that joke.
Nickname: Xavier
There is a guy who evolves into Metang, but he doesn't appear in the wild for Black 2, only his big brother Metang does. He resisted Rock and Flying, which combined with his Psychic typing to put a dent in Fighting types, made him a staple on this team. I love Metagross because he looks badass while having such a unique design. There's no animal or mythical creature that looks anything like him, he's just Metagross.
The nickname was an X-Men reference for the Professor for two reasons. The first is the steel X on his face. The second was because he just has that look of the guy whose purpose is to brief the others for their missions while he stays behind. Unlike Xavier, he didn't just have Psychic powers, he'd beat the crap out of anything in his path.

For those that like something a little 'different' in their gaming library, The Path may be for you. The title is said to downplay the value of advanced technology and "sophisticated" gameplay in favour of "focusing entirely on emergent storytelling and the visceral experience of "being there". While it's surely an eclectic piece of art, creators point Auriea Harvey & Michael Samyn out they're "not really doing anything new":
"We're just removing the parts of game design that we feel stop the medium from growing and expanding. Sure, some purist gamers may not appreciate The Path. But that's only to be expected. We want The Path to be a game for people who have been neglected by the industry. People who sullenly stood by while their boyfriend was shooting alien monsters and their grandmother was collecting virtual diamonds. A game that allows you to explore, to fantasize, and to grow."
Tales of Tales is the studio behind it, who will be releasing the game next week. With that, a trailer has been made which you can see below. Yes, it's 'different', too:
The Path is a modern retelling of Little Red Ridinghood. The player controls six sisters who are sent out, one by one, to bring their sickly grandmother a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine. The path to her house is straight and short and no obstacles prevent you from swiftly completing your mission. But what about that forest along the way? Mother told you not to enter it! But isn't that how the story goes? Aren't you supposed to meet the wolf?
Cool or what? Apparently though, they were going to go the traditional route, but that stuff just didn't fly:
"At first we were going to make a traditional launch trailer." explain creators Auriea Harvey & Michael Samyn, "You know, a little movie that explains the narrative premise of the game, shows some gameplay and then serves some kind of challenge. And our first sketches were just fine. But then we started cutting things up and working with the recordings of [composer] Jarboe reading the original fairy tale. The end result much more clearly reflects the experience of the game: strange, disjointed and completely open for interpretation while simultaneously feeling very comfortable and intimate."
For those interested, the music and voice acting are done by Jarboe, a solo artist and former member of Swans.
The Path releases March 18 on Steam and Direct2Drive for $9.99 USD. Keep your eye on this one -- we may have a review up for you shortly.

Prided myself on being the first IRI member to report on a journey by the DD Express STD HWH at 8.30 am today. Reached HWH at 7.45 am and met our admin AnandNambyar, presently caming at SAMPATH RAIL YATRI NIVAS, at the New Complex. Proceeded with him to PF11 at the Old Complex. Bought the customary RAIL NEER and The Telegraph newspaper. Anand and I had a cup of tea each for the princely sum of Rs. 3 each in the earthern pot (also called, bhand, khullar or matka depending on which part of the country you come from). We were both standing on the platform indulging in our favourite passion of railfanning.

They can even start it in between SBC-MAS, all 2 shatabdi are packed for all days. I am from Kolkata but wastage of public money is not at all advisable. If they dont want to give it to other zone then they can start the service in-between HWH NJP, it will be hit one.

The state's teacher unions for decades have prevented change, including last year. But 2010 can and should be the time for reform. Laws must be changed so that good teachers are encouraged, supported and respected. And roadblocks to removing ineffective teachers must be dismantled.
What's changed? Plenty. Most significant is the wave of teaching reforms rolling across the nation.
Making an especially big splash: Randi Weingarten, head of the American Federation of Teachers, the second largest teachers union. Last month she announced her group backs teacher evaluation systems that take student achievement into account, as well as "a fair, transparent and expedient process to identify and deal with ineffective teachers."
Her dynamic leadership has given her members new clout in the national conversation on improving and valuing the teaching profession. Meanwhile, the AFT's rival group, the larger National Education Association, is looking like a dinosaur — and many of its leaders and members know it. Pressure is building on the NEA and member groups (including the Michigan Education Association) to stop defending outdated tenure systems and start creating new systems that support teacher excellence.
Another example: Major urban school districts are crafting teacher incentive pay programs based on effectiveness. Most notably, the Tampa, Memphis and Pittsburgh school districts, plus some Los Angeles charter schools, are taking part in a $300 million teacher excellence program funded by Bill Gates. He has challenged them to create smart and supportive teacher evaluation programs that incorporate mentoring and systems of gathering feedback from students, parents and fellow teachers. He has also set aside $45 million to study fair, reliable measures of effectiveness.
Such national forces make it difficult and unwise for the MEA not to adapt. Feeling this pressure, MEA President Iris Salter recently said she "has no interest in protecting bad teachers," But she also stated "absolutely no change to (Michigan's) basic tenure model is necessary."
An influential reform group, the National Council on Teacher Quality, doesn't agree. It just released an encyclopedic state-by-state analysis of teacher quality policies. It gave Michigan a "D-" overall, and a "D" for its poor system of "exiting ineffective teachers." Florida had the highest overall grade, but even that was a "C." The group's conclusion: "Taken as a whole, state teacher policies are broken, outdated and inflexible."
The Press in 2008 dug into what protracted tenure battles can mean for taxpayers. It found that 17 districts had paid $763,251 in salaries and benefits in order to oust 29 teachers for poor performance or bad behavior. And that figure didn't include the cost of substitute teachers or legal fees, which often hit $75,000 per case.
In December the Michigan Senate made steps toward reforming teacher tenure. It passed a bill sponsored by Sen. Patty Birkholz, R-Saugatuck, who said many teachers support the bill because they are embarrassed by bad performers who demean the profession.
The measure didn't survive intact as part of a successful package of major school reforms to qualify Michigan for the federal Race to the Top grant competition.
Birkholz and other supporters shouldn't let that setback deter them from seeking a successful reform bill this year.
The national reform wave is only gaining power. It should sweep Michigan along with it.
