Longtime Texas Rangers fan Robbie Parker was trying to calm his nerves before throwing the ceremonial first pitch in honor of a daughter who died in the Newtown school shooting.
So he turned to former star catcher Ivan Rodriguez and jokingly asked if they were the only two people around, even though they were on the field at sold-out Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on Friday. It sure seemed that way when the pair shared a long, emotional embrace after Parker met his goal of getting the pitch all the way to the 14-time All-Star's glove.
Parker's 6-year-old daughter, Emilie, was among the 26 people who died in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December.

A couple of homeless men discovered Edward Brandenburg's body on a cold March day in 2008. He was lying on the ground, a few feet from his blue two-man tent pitched in the woods near the Chattanooga Airport.
His fire pit was still warm, and underwear and socks hung on the clothesline.
Brother Ron Fender showed up after police had removed the body. He knew his old friend's camp well, and everything seemed to be in place. He went into the tent to see what Brandenburg had left behind.
Fender lay down in the tent for a few minutes, allowing the first waves of grief to wash over him. Then he set about gathering a tree saw, a pair of pliers, a flathead screwdriver, a pocketknife and a little leather pouch filled with wheat pennies.
"I wanted to gather something, anything, in the off chance that I might find his family someday," Fender said later.
Many times, there's nothing to hold onto after homeless people die. If they die in the hospital with no next of kin, whatever they went into the hospital with is usually thrown away. If they die on the street or in their camps, other homeless usually rush to claim what is still useful.
But when Fender is able to retrieve the items that belonged to a dead homeless person, he keeps them — hanging onto the hope that the grubby clothes, the old wallet, the one spoon — will mean something to whoever may come looking for that person some day.
Josh Brandenburg was 13 years old the last time he saw his father.
In Waterford, Mich., Edward Brandenburg drove forklifts at a number of workshops. Folks in town knew him to be handy with cars and a gifted artist. He sketched cars and nature, deer and birds.
He was also an alcoholic.
"The barkeepers would call my mom time after time saying, 'Ed's drunk again.' He smashed the family car. On weekends he'd go on 72-hour benders. But he never went to work drunk," Josh, now 31, said in a phone interview from West Bloomfield, Mich.
Old photos show Edward and Josh playing in the snow, riding a bike, pretending to have a boxing match. All smiles.
Josh was 3 when his parents divorced. The boy saw his father on weekends, usually at a different home every few months.
His father disappeared twice when Josh was a child.
The first time was between the time Josh was 4 and 9, and the second was when he was 10 to 12.
Edward's mother, Martha D'Andrea, got letters postmarked from Indiana and Kentucky. He wrote from a rehab facility in Iowa at one point.
"He kept writing things like, 'Until I stop drinking, I don't want to be an embarrassment to the family,'" D'Andrea said.
Both times, Edward came back sober, calling his ex-wife, Jackie, from the Greyhound bus station in Royal Oak, Mich., to ask if she could pick him up.
"He had a military duffle bag, and he looked haggard," Josh remembers. "I saw him, and I just wanted to squeeze him and hold him."
Josh's mother said Edward could stay with the family only if he refused to drink. And both times, Edward did well. He got a good job. He got his driver's license and a car. He rekindled his relationship with Jackie. He went to his son's hockey games.
"I just kept thinking, 'We're a family again,'" Josh recalls.
But though Edward enrolled in rehab programs and attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, the need for drink always surged back.
Edward had been sober for a whole year. Then one morning, Josh found him passed out in his car in front of the house.
A few days later, Josh came home from class to find his father loading his things into a taxi.
Edward Brandenburg, who died homeless in Chattanooga March 10, 2008.
"I'm sorry," Edward said to his bewildered son. "I'll always love you."
Then he got in the cab and pulled away.
"And he was just gone," Josh said. "I screamed and cried then. But now I realize that was him realizing that he would never be able to conquer this demon. He was tired of letting his family down."
He was gone for a year. But the next December, Josh's mother told him that Edward had come back for Christmas. Edward was staying with his mother, and Jackie went shopping with him so he could buy Josh a gift.
But just before Christmas Day, Edward was gone again. He had headed to Indiana, telling his mother, "I have a demon. If I ever get rid of it, I'll see you again. If I don't, I won't see you again."
Edward left behind a Christmas gift for his son: a pair of new work boots and a card. "Merry Christmas. I love you," it read.
And for 16 years, that was all Josh had.
Fender doesn't know why Edward Brandenburg drifted into Chattanooga, or where he came from. They never talked about it.
In 2005, Fender was wandering through the woods along Chickamauga Creek near the airport, looking for homeless camps that may have been set up recently. He spotted a path through the woods to a new campsite, and met Brandenburg.
His camp was startlingly tidy. He had pitched a tent, dug a fire pit, strung a clothesline. He stacked books neatly in his tent and kept his clothes folded. He said he fed corn to the deer and wild turkeys in the woods.
Over the next three years, the two men forged a close friendship. They read the paper and talked about what was going on in the world. Fender talked about his childhood, and Brandenburg told a few stories about a son — "My boy plays hockey," he would say.
Brandenburg only occasionally rode his bike to the Community Kitchen. Fender would deliver food to the campsite. Often, Brandenburg would hide when Fender arrived.
"That was when he was drunk. He never wanted me to see him drunk," said Fender.
Brandenburg was charged with public intoxication 30 times between 2005 and 2008, Hamilton County court records show. He often was ordered to perform community service, which he sometimes would work under Fender's supervision.
Around Thanksgiving 2006, Brandenburg decided he wanted to go back to Michigan to see his family. Fender bought him a bus ticket and dropped him off at the station. But just before the bus pulled out, he hopped off.
He just couldn't do it. He couldn't face his family, he told Fender later.
On Christmas morning in 2007, Brandenburg biked nine bitterly cold miles from the airport to bring Fender a box of Whitman's Sampler Chocolates. It was 5 a.m.
Tears filled Fender's eyes as he looked at the box. Brandenburg assured him, "Don't worry, I didn't steal it — I collected cans. Don't you like it?"
The Hamilton County medical examiner ruled that Brandenburg drank himself to death.
Photos from the book Edward Brandenburg 1957-2008
Fender hastily searched for Brandenburg's son, that boy who played hockey. But he had no names, no numbers, no luck.
He petitioned the court to allow him to cremate Brandenburg's body so he could give the ashes to his family if they ever were found, but the petition was denied.
Ten people were at Cofer Cemetery for Brandenburg's ceremony, along with the prisoners who dug his grave.
Afterward the group walked amid the graves, recognizing the names of some homeless people they didn't even know had died.
"We were depressed because so few of us were there to celebrate Edward's life," remembers Jens Christensen, assistant director of the Chattanooga Community Kitchen. "Then we realized that there were all these people who died and no one even knew."
Despite growing up without his father, Josh Brandenburg thrived. He went to college and got a degree in emergency medical technology. Working as a firefighter, he fell in love with a woman who was a paramedic. He bought a house.
But something was always lacking. In 2006, Josh started searching for his dad on the Internet.
"I just wanted to know was he dead, was he alive, was he in jail. I just needed to know," he said.
After several searches, he found out his dad had checked into a rehab center in Iowa. When Josh called, Edward was gone. Josh found arrest records in Iowa, but because the police could not verify who Josh was, they refused to give him information.
He checked online only a few times after that.
"I felt there was no hope to ever find him again," he said.
But in March 2009, Josh decided to try again. He Googled his father's name and something new flickered on the screen: a notice that a death certificate had been filed for Edward D. Brandenburg, 50, in Chattanooga. The date of death was almost exactly one year before.
Warily, Josh refined his search. Up popped a page from the Chattanooga Community Kitchen, a bulletin for an annual service held there to commemorate homeless people who have died. His father's name was listed.
When he phoned Fender the next day, the voice on the other end was gentle.
"Josh," Fender said, "I am so happy to finally talk to you."
That spring, Edward Brandenburg's mother drove the 600 miles to Chattanooga with Edward's brother to see her son's grave.
"I wanted to know where he had been living," D'Andrea said. "I know it had to be a lonely life for Eddie. Sometimes it's better not to know because you can't change it and it just hurts. But I wanted to know where Eddie was at the end."
Josh, his mother and his girlfriend drove down in May. It was pouring rain as they reached East Tennessee. They first pulled in to the Community Kitchen, where Fender was sitting at the front desk.
"I remember seeing them through the glass doors, and I knew at once it was Edward's son," Fender recalled.
The two embraced and started talking, sharing memories of Edward, piecing together the man's fragmented history.
"I hadn't heard anything from him for 16 years, and this was my only way to know about him," Josh said.
Together they drove to Cofer Cemetery. As Josh walked up the hill to his father's grave, he shed the firefighter, the paramedic, the grown-up. As he knelt at his father's grave, he was a kid who had always missed his dad.
"I thought it had been so long that I was numb to my dad being dead. But no — it was like your parent who you'd seen every day suddenly passed away."
For half an hour, he stayed at the grave, weeping, talking to his father — asking him why, telling him he loved him, telling him he had missed him.
"I wish I could have told him, 'I'm doing fine, I'm doing good. I don't hate you at all. I love you. … I wish I could have understood.'"
Edward Brandenburg's gravestone.
Before the day was over, Fender handed Josh his inheritance: Edward's saw, pliers, screwdriver, knife and pennies. Josh cradled them in his hands.
Relief, grief and awe stirred Fender as he stepped back.
"Edward had held these things and now Josh was holding these things," Fender said. "... It was all I had of his father to give him. That and the love — the assurance that his father wasn't friendless when he died."
For Josh, a long-unfinished chapter was finally closed.
"To hold something my father held …" he pauses for a long moment as he remembers. "I'm not a huge religious man. But in a strange way, I had a moment with him. It was like we were able to meet again."
I can think of few things more difficult than researching a person's tortured life and their lonely death and then writing their obituary.

Thank you for your informative article and highlighting the issue of homelessness, putting a face and humanizing these people who have addictions, biological brain disorders,etc. which result in their being lost in this society which often seems so uncaring and so unkind. I remember walking across the Walnut St. bridge and saying hello to what appeared to be a homeless man sitting on one of the benches. You could almost see a light in his eyes for just having someone not look past him as though he were invisible. Sadly, this is the stance that many people take as they just accept homelessness as a "normal" state of being and these people as being dehumanized and not worthy of notice.

Dick Foran was born on June 18th, 1910 in Flemington, New Jersey with the birth name John Nicholas Foran to parents, Arthur Foran, a New Jersey senator Elizabeth Foran. He had five siblings and grew up in New Jersey attending the Hun School which was a college preparatory school. As a teenager, Foran excelled in sports and also sang in the school choir. After completing High School he went to study at the Princeton University earning a degree in geology.
Foran then proceeded to study music at the Leibling Studio in New York and had developed an interest in acting while taking some acting classes during college. He also supported himself by working aboard a freighter and as a special investigator for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Soon, he decided to relocate to California and pursue a singing career on the radio. He first became a band leader and soon formed his own orchestra. Warner Brothers took notice of him and signed him to a contract.
He began working on such films as "Change of Heart" (1934), "Moonlight on the Prairie" (1935), "Song of the Saddle" (1936), "Treachery Rides the Range" (1936), "Guns of the Pecos" (1937), "Empty Holsters" (1937) and "Cowboy from Brooklyn" (1938). He was nicknamed "The Singing Cowboy" and was slightly limited to western films.
However, as his career progressed to the mid 40's he was given the opportunity to play other types of supporting roles in non westerns films and also made a number of television appearances on such series as, "Science Fiction Theatre" (1955), "Crossroads" (1955-1956), "Maverick" (1957) and "Justice" (1954) amongst many others.
Some of his final film roles were in "Donovan's Reef" (1963) starring John Wayne and Lee Marvin and "Brighty of the Grand Canyon" (1967). Dick was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contribution to the film industry.
Throughout his lifetime, Foran married three times, first to Ruth Piper Hollingsworth from 1937 through 1940 and they had two children together. His second wife was Carole Gallagher in 1943 and they had one child before ending their marriage in 1945. His third and final wife was Susanne Rosser whom he wed in 1951 and they had one child together and remained married until he passed away on August 10th, 1979 in Panorama City, California and is buried in San Fernando Mission Cemetery.

The story discusses issues at some U.S. transit agencies in recouping enough funding through fares and high usage in U.S. cities when public transportation was free, as well as success in moving to a fare-free system in other cities throughout the world. For the full story, click here.

Yes its time -- BUT! Europeans transit services are far closer to reaching the critical mass that facilitates their efficiency, better urban form, and more importantly, much far more intelligent system design. So their costs are significantly lower. U.S. paratransit services typically operate at 1/3 the efficiency that any system I ever designed (of any size) did. So the answer is two-fold: We need radical changes in efficiency, mostly through more enlightened system design, and then should move toward a free system. But other energy-saving changes must also be made -- like a Federal mandate for the utility companies to run the "meter backwards" for homeowners and businesses who invest their own resources in technology to capture heat, wind and energy from water currents. This is not a change that makes sense as a "stand-alone" change.
Full government subsidies of freeways and highways caused urban sprawl and made it nearly impossible for the senior, disabled, youth, and poor to get around a much more spread out city. As a result, we now need to subsidize transit for them. Why not fix the first problem instead of creating a second problem? Why not tax gas appropriately and have gas consumers pay for the Iraq War as well as the social and economic costs of urban sprawl (including transit)? Why not force developers to pay for extending not only municipal services to serve their area but also transit and the social and economic costs of urban sprawl? If you took everything into consideration, buying a house in the inner-city would then be cheaper than a house out in the middle of nowhere. Why not end government public school monopolies and allow parents to send their children to any school they wish with school vouchers, hence fewer affluent families would move further and further away from the poor inner-city? The answer is less government subsidization not more.

- In low- and middle-income countries, HIV is a leading cause of death among women of reproductive age.
- 74 percent of young men know that condoms are effective in preventing HIV infection, compared to just 49 percent of young women.
- Globally, 26 percent of all new infections are among young women 15–24 years of age — and most do not know their status.
- Young women make up more than 60 percent of all young people living with HIV. In sub-Saharan Africa, the number is a staggering 72 percent.

Ghosts and Ghouls take over streets around the world on Halloween night, but underneath those disguises you won't always find a human.
Many people like to dress up their four-legged friends.
We have some tips for pet outfits that go beyond Halloween to any clothes you may put on them.
"The pumpkin is always popular," said Judy Dorland, a shift manager at Party America in Pueblo. "You can see we have one left."
Halloween pet costumes can be fun, but you'll want to make a safe choice.
"Nothing that's going to make them too hot," said Dr. Tiffany Barr, a veterinarian and part-owner at Mesa Veterinary Clinic in Pueblo. "Nothing that's going to be too tight. Nothing that's going to pinch or rub in the wrong places."
Plus, be sure to watch your pet's behavior.
"If they're really fighting you on it, I would just let them be," said Dorland.
"If they hate it and their miserable with it, then I say it's probably not for that pet," said Dr. Barr.
Dorland sells costumes, and she definitely knows what her dog hates.
"She's old, and she would just try to fight us and try to take it off," said Dorland. "I do have a friend who has a smaller dog, and he loves to be dressed up."
If that's your plan for your pet, try to ease them into clothes.
"Start slow with something that's pretty comfortable to them, or start when they're puppies," said Dr. Barr.
Because if you force them to wear it...
"They're going to associate dressing up or going around with something very stressful, as opposed to something that could be enjoyable for them," said Dr. Barr.
This goes for any clothing you may put on your pet throughout the year.
If they act different, you may want to let them run clothes-free to keep them happier.

Bell Helicopter has delivered two 407GX aircraft to Helicopter Flight Services, Inc., a New York based company offering tours, charters, aerial photography, lift work and custom projects. Helicopter Flight Services is the first to operate a Bell 407GX in a sightseeing capacity.
Helicopter Flight Services operates a fleet of five Bell 407 aircraft and two Bell 407GXs. John Kjekstad, owner of Helicopter Flight Services, opted for the 407GX Quiet Cruise kit to proactively address helicopter noise complaints from residents in New York. The Quiet Cruise kit reduces the external noise signature of the aircraft; the decrease in decibels results in a significant noise reduction to the human ear. Helicopter Flight Services says it is the only company to move forward with noise reduction technology in the area, and the first tour company to operate a 407GX.
"The 407 and 407GX are both great ships. We chose to add two 407GXs because of the fantastic technology. The Garmin G1000HTM flight deck is user-friendly and is a big safety feature for us – we are able to see the New York traffic at a glance. Our clients love the 407GX and we could not be happier with it," commented Kiekstad.
Helicopter Flight Services began in 1985 with a Bell 206 Jet Ranger. Over the years it has developed into a provider of helicopter services in New York, offering custom sightseeing, chartered trips, aerial photography and lifting.
"We are honored that Helicopter Flight Services has chosen the 407GX for its tours, charter flights and other business needs," said Danny Maldonado, Bell Helicopter's executive vice president of Commercial Sales and Marketing. "With their range of services, Helicopter Flight Services demonstrates the capability and versatility of the 407GX. The addition of the Quiet Cruise kit reflects savvy decision-making and consideration of the community. We are happy to meet Helicopter Flight Services' mission needs and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them," added Maldonado.

There will be free food, games and a bike rodeo.
For more information the carnival or becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister, email email@example.com or call Cathie at (530) 626.1222.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of El Dorado County
In 1977, someone saw a need. Many of the children in our community had unusual challenges in their lives. Some lived in single parent homes, were growing up in poverty, or were coping with parental incarceration. They needed support and encouragement to succeed. Given the proven success the national Big Brothers Big Sisters program had achieved, the solution was obvious. And Big Brothers Big Sisters of El Dorado County was born.
Our vision: all children achieve success in life.
Our mission: provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
Our results: National research has shown that positive relationships between Littles and their Bigs have a direct and measurable impact on children's lives*. By participating in our programs, Little Brothers and Sisters are:
- 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
- 27% less likely to begin using alcohol
- 52% less likely to skip school
- more confident in their schoolwork performance
- able to get along better with their families
Think of the possibilities. Together we can start something BIG.

YouPorn, Perez Hilton Exploit Bug to Obtain Your Browsing History
The bug extracts browsing information via a color-changing mechanism that many browsers use to mark sites that you've already visited. A script on YouPorn, for example, would exploit the privacy leak to check which other links to porn sites have already been changed to purple (meaning that you've already clicked on them). "Our study shows that popular Web 2.0 applications like mashups, aggregators, and sophisticated ad targeting are rife with different kinds of privacy-violating flows," the researchers wrote [PDF].
Forbes's Kashmir Hill investigated the sites mentioned in the paper, and discovered that some, including YouPorn and PixMac, had created the code themselves. Others, meanwhile, seemed to obtain it from third-party developers. Hill's trail ultimately led to three advertising networks, including one called Interclick. "Interclick purchases anonymous audience data from several vendors for the purpose of targeting advertising campaigns," the company said in a statement provided to Forbes. "Consequently, it has a number of quality control measures in place to understand the quality and effectiveness of this data. The code observed in the paper was a quality measure being tested."
A spokesman for Morningstar, a finance site cited in the paper, insists that the company was unaware that Interclick had gathered user information via the script. In that particular case, the code automatically scanned a visitor's browsing history for any car sites he or she had previously visited. Interclick, however, says that the test was unsuccessful, and that it stopped running the script in October.
Researchers insist, though, that their findings underscore a "pressing need to devise flexible, precise and efficient defenses" against such history-hijacking practices. Fortunately, not all browsers are vulnerable to the bug. Chrome and Safari, for example, automatically guard against it, as does the latest version of Firefox. Internet Explorer, on the other hand, is still susceptible, but users can protect themselves by activating a feature called InPrivate Browsing.

Air Force General to Speak at LDS Church
General Carlson received a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Minnesota, Duluth, in 1971, graduated from U.S. Air Force Fighter Weapons School at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, in 1979, and earned a distinguished graduate master of arts degree from U.S. Naval War College in 1989. He was appointed the 17th Director of the National Reconnaissance Office on June 12, 2009. Prior to his appointment, he spent 37 years in the U.S. military, rising to the rank of four-star general in the Air Force. During his time in the Air Force he commanded the Air Force's first stealth fighter wing and held several senior staff positions at the Pentagon.
He was born October 3, 1949, in Hibbing, Minnesota, to Clifford and Helen Carlson. He spent most of his childhood moving throughout the northern half of the state as his father was promoted within the Minnesota Forestry Department. When the family moved to Brainerd, Minnesota, Helen Carlson (who had been baptized into the Latter-day Saints faith in her youth) was able to take her children to a small branch of the Church that met nearby. Bruce and his wife, Vicki, have three children and nine grandchildren.

I have a standard invoice / invoice detail form / subform relationship. On the detail subform, the sku field is enabled to delete the record on the double click event. The code works as expected except that when I return to the subform the last remaining sku replaces the first sku (of the invoice detail). I've traced code to see if there is anything in the double click event that could cause this, and there is not.
Any suggestions?

The Evolution of American Foreign Policy
Already, however, as Charles A. Beard pointed out during the 1930s, some American politicians—mostly Republicans—had laid out new principles that would give the United States a kind of dominion over the entire globe, based on our economic needs. One such was Senator Albert Beveridge, a famous Progressive, who essentially adopted approvingly the same thesis that the liberal J. A. Hobson and the Bolshevik Lenin were developing from a critical perspective—that the demands of capitalism required economic expansion. Around the turn of the century Beveridge stated the case thusly:
"American factories are making more than the American people can use; American soil is producing more than they can consume. Fate has written our policy for us; the trade of the world must and shall be ours. And we will get it as our mother [England] has told us how. We will establish trading-posts throughout the world as distributing-points for American products. We will cover the ocean with our merchant marine. We will build a navy to the measure of our greatness. Great colonies governing themselves, flying our flag and trading with us, will grow about our posts of trade. Our institutions will follow our flag on the wings of our commerce. And American law, American order, American civilization, and the American flag will plant themselves on shores hitherto bloody and benighted, but by those agencies of God henceforth to be made beautiful and bright."
Interestingly enough, the idea that the spread of our economy can spread our values survives today in the belief that free markets and democracy go together. In other ways, however, our economic needs have changed. We no longer produce surpluses—indeed, we make, and grow, less and less of what we consume every year. Our trade deficit is enormous and unprecedented. Our corporations require free access to the rest of the world—and especially its poorer parts—not to sell goods, but to invest capital where wages are low, hours are long, and environmental regulations hardly exist. And meanwhile, we depend on imported oil, a dependency which has gradually led us deeper and deeper into the affairs of the Middle East, where so much of the world's oil is located. Indeed, one could easily argue that since the 1973 embargo and the accompanying price rise, much of our foreign policy has been devoted to making sure that Middle Eastern states spent their oil revenues in ways we found congenial, such as construction contracts with American firms, investments in American debt, and weapons that they would use only to further American interests. Our long quarrel with Saddam Hussein, one might suggest, began in 1990 when he proved that we could no longer trust him, and the Bush Administration decided to overthrow him because it was becoming harder and harder to maintain sanctions and they did not believe they could prevent him from spending his revenues on support for terrorism (as he was in Palestine) and potentially on new weapons of mass destruction.
When President Wilson did decide to enter the First World War, he made the promotion of democracy his most important war aim, and endorsed the idea that a democracy in Germany would be more pacific than its existing constitutional monarchy. Not only were those hopes dashed when the Nazis eventually took power largely through democratic means, but Beveridge's vision of an open international order collapsed during the 1920s and 1930s as well.
When the Second World War began, Franklin Roosevelt quickly identified the Axis as a worldwide threat to American values and interests. In a political master stroke, he defined American and British war aims before the United States had even entered the war, in the Atlantic Charter he issued with Winston Churchill in August, 1941.
"The President of the United States of America and the Prime Minister, Mr. Churchill, representing His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, being met together, deem it right to make known certain common principles in the national policies of their respective countries on which they base their hopes for a better future for the world.
"First, their countries seek no aggrandizement, territorial or other;
"Second, they desire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned;
"Third, they respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self government restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them;
"Fourth, they will endeavor, with due respect for their existing obligations, to further the enjoyment by all States, great or small, victor or vanquished, of access, on equal terms, to the trade and to the raw materials of the world which are needed for their economic prosperity;
"Fifth, they desire to bring about the fullest collaboration between all nations in the economic field with the object of securing, for all, improved labor standards, economic advancement and social security;
"Sixth, after the final destruction of the Nazi tyranny, they hope to see established a peace which will afford to all nations the means of dwelling in safety within their own boundaries, and which will afford assurance that all the men in all the lands may live out their lives in freedom from fear and want;
"Seventh, such a peace should enable all men to traverse the high seas and oceans without hindrance;
"Eighth, they believe that all of the nations of the world, for realistic as well as spiritual reasons must come to the abandonment of the use of force. Since no future peace can be maintained if land, sea or air armaments continue to be employed by nations which threaten, or may threaten, aggression outside of their frontiers, they believe, pending the establishment of a wider and permanent system of general security, that the disarmament of such nations is essential. They will likewise aid and encourage all other practicable measures which will lighten for peace-loving peoples the crushing burden of armaments."
In 1945 these principles became, in essence, the founding principles of the United Nations. Perhaps their most striking emphasis is the independence of various states and their right to choose their own form of government. They include economic liberalization, but they specifically link it to improved labor conditions and social security. And they propose the disarmament of the aggressors and the gradual disarmament of other states as well as the long-term solution to the problem of war and peace. Because Europe has never abandoned these principles, Europe and the United States are now on different paths. This is especially true in the economic field. The American business press routinely criticizes the European nations for failing to get with the program and use international competition to force European labor to give up the gains it has made over the last 50 years. Indeed, the expansion of the European Union into Eastern Europe now threatens to have that impact.
It seems to me possible that a Democratic presidential candidate might take the Atlantic Charter as a starting point for a more reasonable foreign policy of his own, but meanwhile, we have moved in quite a different direction. A tolerant world based on mutual respect is no long enough. Here, once again, is the opening of the new National Security Strategy that the Bush Administration adopted in 2002.
"The great struggles of the twentieth century between liberty and totalitarianism ended with a decisive victory for the forces of freedom—and a single sustainable model for national success: freedom, democracy, and free enterprise. In the twenty-first century, only nations that share a commitment to protecting basic human rights and guaranteeing political and economic freedom will be able to unleash the potential of their people and assure their future prosperity. People everywhere want to be able to speak freely; choose who will govern them; worship as they please; educate their children—male and female; own property; and enjoy the benefits of their labor. These values of freedom are right and true for every person, in every society—and the duty of protecting these values against their enemies is the common calling of freedom-loving people across the globe and across the ages.
"Today, the United States enjoys a position of unparalleled military strength and great economic and political influence. In keeping with our heritage and principles, we do not use our strength to press for unilateral advantage. We seek instead to create a balance of power that favors human freedom: conditions in which all nations and all societies can choose for themselves the rewards and challenges of political and economic liberty. In a world that is safe, people will be able to make their own lives better. We will defend the peace by fighting terrorists and tyrants. We will preserve the peace by building good relations among the great powers. We will extend the peace by encouraging free and open societies on every continent."
Instead of respecting "the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live," we now proclaim that we know what form of government that should be. Instead of increasing social security and pushing for "improved labor standards," we now simply endorse peoples' right "to enjoy the benefits of their labor"—especially, if the Administration's tax policies are any guide, better-off people. And instead of looking forward to disarmament around the world, we boast of our military superiority and the benefits it should bring, and announce that we shall simply disarm any nation that seeks weapons we do not think it should have. The phrase, "a balance of power that favors human freedom," seems somewhat anomalous within the broader document, and probably represented a concession to the Department of State. Balance implies opposition, and the basic documents of this Administration leave little room for opposition.
In his inaugural address last January the President laid out even more sweeping goals.
"The great objective of ending tyranny is the concentrated work of generations. The difficulty of the task is no excuse for avoiding it. America's influence is not unlimited, but fortunately for the oppressed, America's influence is considerable, and we will use it confidently in freedom's cause.
"My most solemn duty is to protect this nation and its people against further attacks and emerging threats. Some have unwisely chosen to test America's resolve, and have found it firm.
"We will persistently clarify the choice before every ruler and every nation: The moral choice between oppression, which is always wrong, and freedom, which is eternally right. America will not pretend that jailed dissidents prefer their chains, or that women welcome humiliation and servitude, or that any human being aspires to live at the mercy of bullies.
"We will encourage reform in other governments by making clear that success in our relations will require the decent treatment of their own people. America's belief in human dignity will guide our policies, yet rights must be more than the grudging concessions of dictators; they are secured by free dissent and the participation of the governed. In the long run, there is no justice without freedom, and there can be no human rights without human liberty."
This was not simply idle rhetoric. Led by the new Secretary of State, Condolezza Rice, Administration officials now travel the globe lecturing other states for failing to live up to our standards. This does not seem to be improving our standing worldwide very much. The Secretary suffered a setback this weekend, when the Egyptian government prevented a conference of Arab states from adopting a joint declaration on democracy and a plan for subsidizing democratic groups. And the President found on his trip to Latin America that anti-Americanism apparently has more resonance to the South than his own plan for extending NAFTA across the entire hemisphere. The rhetoric seems more idle, or empty, when compared to what is happening here in the United States, where the President refuses to allow anyone who might disagree with him into his public appearances and the government releases less public information than any Administration in history.
Meanwhile, in Iraq, the introduction of democracy—or at least, elections—has had some paradoxical effects. The elections have allowed the Kurds and Shi'ites to take giant steps towards setting up at least semi-independent states in the north and south of Iraq—but they have done nothing to convince the Sunnis, who ruled a united Iraq for 80 years, that the country should dissolve. Civil war and ethnic cleansing have already begun. The influence of fundamentalist Islam is increasing, rather than decreasing.
In continually attempting to extend its power further and further, the United States is following in the path of nearly every great empire, including Athens, Rome, Napoleonic France, and Imperial Germany. (Britain was somewhat exceptional because of its lack of a large army—and Britain did not entertain the fantasy that it could extend its power by extending British institutions all over the world.) Each of those nations also entertained some version of the idea embodied in the National Security Strategy, that it was destined to continue expanding because it had discovered some fundamental secret of life. But each one (and here again Britain was the exception) eventually came to grief as a result of diplomatic and military catastrophe. Our own need to adjust our goals to more reasonable levels before we encounter something similar is among the greatest challenges of our entire history.
P.S. Next weekend I shall be attending a conference in Dallas on the Kennedy Assassination, the subject of my next book, and will not have an opportunity to post. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

NASHVILLE — Georgia officials say they want access to Tennessee River water. Badly want it. Desperately want it.
So just how far would Peach State lawmakers be willing to go if it came down to a trade?
"We'll take the Atlanta Braves and they can have the water," Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam told Nashville Chamber of Commerce members in this morning.
Or maybe Sea Island, the governor suggested.
But before Georgians get too excited, the governor emphasized he was only joking.
"We're not actually going to trade them for our water," Haslam said.
Water-parched Georgia lawmakers this year once have again raised the long-disputed Tennessee-Georgia border question as they seek ways to satisfy the Atlanta area's need for water.
State lawmakers there recently passed a resolution pressing for negotiations with Tennessee with authority to go to the U.S. Supreme Court to settle the 19th century dispute if necessary.
Tennessee lawmakers have adopted the position that they'll just have to see their Georgia counterparts in court.

Newsletters for July 2011
Fixed Assets and Depreciation
By: Dave Thomsen, Partner | email
Over the past few years or so, issues have arisen in our world of accounting for cooperatives that have brought the way we historically looked at property, plant and equipment, and the depreciation of those assets, under question. The first issue came about a few years ago when the loan commitments required to finance cooperative operations became so large that your lender saw it necessary to share some of the risk involved in certain loan packages. Thus, fixed asset appraisals became the norm in many cases. A second issue has occurred with new accounting standards related to mergers and the requirement to recognize business combinations at fair value.
Textbook Depreciation: Most accountants were taught in school to compute depreciation in the following manner: "Asset Cost" less "Salvage Value" divided by the "Useful Life of the Asset." For example, a steel grain bin built for a cost of $500,000 with a scrap value of $25,000 that will be used for 25 years would have an annual depreciation expense of $19,000 and would have at least some book value for 25 years. However, in most cases today, salvage value is routinely ignored and the estimated useful life is based more on acceptable IRS tables than on the actual life the asset is used to produce income.
Actual Practice: Most of our cooperative audit clients take a "conservative" approach to depreciating their fixed assets. In the example above, the salvage value would be ignored and the $500,000 bin would depreciated over 10 years based on the IRS class life tables amounting to annual depreciation of $50,000. The asset is fully depreciated after 10 years and for book purposes has no value for more than half of its actual useful life.
Why do we do this? The accelerated depreciation expense lowers the bottom line thereby reducing income and income available for patronage dividend allocations, saving the cooperative cash. However, this conservative approach may be distorting the real value of the balance sheet by recognizing no or less than actual value of assets the company owns. Depending on the circumstances, appraisals may be necessary to give companies credit for the unrecognized value of those assets, or major adjustments will be required under the new fair value requirements in accounting for future mergers.
Maybe its time to re-think this process as we look at ways to further strengthen balance sheets and search for the right mix of allocated and unallocated members' equity. We can still use these conservative ideas for tax purposes, but we must also consider alternatives to bring book balance sheets more in line with actual values. We are available if you would like to discuss this issue further and will be encouraging this debate as we begin our upcoming audit engagements.
Filing Requirements and Sales/Use Tax
By: Chris Coldiron, CPA, Tax Manager | email
Recent surveys indicate that individuals and businesses purchasing goods over the internet are not properly remitting sales or use tax, many times in violation of state law (the estimated non-compliance rate in California was greater than 98%). With states becoming more desperate for revenue sources to offset record deficits, this area becomes an easy target for state auditors. If you are unsure of your state's laws regarding the payment of sales or use tax for internet purchases, please contact us so that we may research the matter and advise you accordingly.
State auditors are also on the lookout for businesses that might have a filing requirement in their state that is not being met. If your business engages in transactions outside your home state and you are unsure if this activity generates additional filing requirements, please contact us so that we may help you make that determination.
1099 Reporting Changes, Again
By: Chris Coldiron, CPA, Tax Manager | email
As you may have heard, H.R. 4, the "Comprehensive 1099 Taxpayer Protection and Repayment of Exchange Subsidy Overpayments Act of 2011" repealed all new 1099 reporting requirements that were set to take effect January 1, 2012. The Act was signed into law by President Obama on April 15th. Basically, 1099 reporting requirements will continue to be the same as they've always been. This change will significantly decrease the compliance burden small businesses were anticipating. However, this recent change does not do away with the requirement that payers obtain and retain a form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, for all payees. This requirement applies even to governmental agencies and corporations, although these entities are typically exempt from the 1099 reporting requirement. Absent obtaining a W-9 that either documents an exemption to the 1099 reporting requirement or provides the necessary information for that reporting, backup withholding at a rate of 28% is mandatory.
Section 199 Amended Returns
By: Chris Coldiron, CPA, Tax Manager | email
The case for Section 199 amended returns continues! The first pre-settlement appeals conference with the IRS Appeals Office is scheduled for August 8th and 9th. Please be aware that if you filed an amended return to claim an enhanced Section 199 deduction and have not heard from the IRS, please contact us so that we may follow up on and track the status of your amended return.
Standard Business Mileage Rates – 2011
By: Chris Coldiron, CPA, Tax Manager | email
To help offset the bite of rising gas prices, the IRS announced on June 23rd that the standard business mileage rate will increase for the second half of 2011 (beginning July 1st) to 55.5 cents per mile, up from 51 cents per mile for the first half of 2011. The mileage rate used in computing deductible moving expenses and medical transportation costs also increased by 4.5 cents per mile to 23.5 cents per mile with the same effective date. The rate used to compute mileage for charitable driving did not change and remains at 14 cents per mile for all of 2011.

Pet Peeves
Pick Up The Phone, Give Us A Call!
We all have pet peeves. Whether it is slow drivers, loud talking at the movies, etc. I know that I have too many to list during this blog, but last weekend perhaps my biggest pet peeve when it comes to sports reared it's ugly head again.
