Red spots in meat--improperly bled?
Posted 29 June 2007 - 06:40 PM
Any butchers out there tonight?
I finally got my organically-raised Berkshire pig today, and I've started cutting it up (so far just into primals for the most part). I started cutting part of the loin into chops, and I noticed they are spotted with red flecks. This doesn't seem normal to me, so I searched the internet, but couldn't find anything. It looks different than when you get a section of carcass that's been improperly bled and is bloodshot (I've had plenty of experience with that)--this is more like small spots rather than large sections of coagulated blood. The outside of part of the belly had spots too.
Anyone know if this is a problem? I'd hate to butcher the entire thing (290 lbs. live weight) to find out it's not going to taste right (or worse, have some sort of health issue).
If a photo would help, let me know and I can take one (although trying to get as much of this butchering done tonight as possible, so hoping someone knows what I'm talking about via the text description).
Thanks for you help from an amateur butcher! (Done several deer, a lamb, half a cow, several cooked pigs, but this is my first raw pig.)
Kind regards,

The USDA has a fact sheet of color variations in meat:
Click here for USDA fact sheet
If you have seen and recognize bloodshot meat (you never forget it, do you?) I think you have enough experience to rule that out, so I would trust your judgement on that.
According to the USDA, meat coloration can be very variable, even in the same animal. I remember the sort of color variation you are describing in the pigs my grandfather butchered. Of course it has been a very long time, and I am not sure I could even look at a photograph and be able to pass judgement. Can you get in touch with your purveyour, who might be able to reassure you?
I am sure there are other member's who have had much more and recent experience here than I have and will chime in.
Good luck.

I think I've determined the spots are some sort of small-scale bloodshot phenomenon, rather than the larger areas that I've seen in the past. I'm adding pics, in case anyone who has more experience can weigh in (two of the spots--one on a loin chop, the other on a trimming of butt/shoulder, and then a third of an obviously bloodshot section of butt).
So far, I've encountered this in the sirloin part of the loin (the rest of the loin seemed okay, but I left it as roasts, not chops), the butt part of the shoulder (haven't cut up the picnic part yet), and a bit on the surface of the "skirt steak" part of the belly (the flap that hangs off of the spareribs).
I can call both the farmers and the slaughterhouse, but I'd like to have a confirmation first about these spots being unacceptable and the cause of the problem the carcass being insufficiently bled (if in fact that is the problem), before contacting them.
So my real question is: are these little pockets of blood okay to leave in? Will they affect the taste like a larger area of bloodshot meat would? Is it okay, for example to grind the spots into sausage that will then be dry cured? Or if the hams have the same problem, will this be an issue (and I won't know until after they're cured, smoked, and dried)?
I'm guessing if I brine the chops the blood will dissipate (like when you soak marrow bones). But I don't want to have to brine everything, nor would that be appropriate for all the cuts.
I guess I don't have the ability to post images (not seeing any "attach file" option), unless I'm missing something. If anyone knows how I can do this, that would be great. I did take some pics today.
Thanks for any info!
Like I said, butchering's a new hobby, and usually a google search answers my questions, but not this one.

It's complicated but it works.
Posted 30 June 2007 - 07:36 PM
So it's definitely trapped blood (I fried up a sample to taste it, and the larger spotted parts have a definite liverish taste). The areas with tiny spots taste okay, and, of course, the non-spotted parts taste fine (very good, in fact).
So I guess I'm going to be tossing some parts (such a waste!), or (assuming the meat is safe to eat) seeing if I can incorporate the livery taste into sausage (but I'm the only one in the house that likes livery-tasting things). Some parts did not get spotted, as far as I can tell, e.g. with one of the hams, it's just one of the muscles--the others seem clear, the belly seems fine, the fat was beautiful, some of the loin cuts are clear, etc.
But what I really want to know now is, did the slaughterhouse really screw up with bleeding the carcass (there were some "normal" areas of bloodshot meat near the major arteries). Did they miss cutting a major artery or vein? Or is this due to something else (let's hope the blood speckles are not due to some disease, since I ate a sample)? I'm, of course, going to call the farmers tomorrow, but would really like to be informed as to the cause of my spotted pork.
And, of course, some input on my earlier questions re: Safe to use in sausage, for dry curing, etc.? Small amounts okay? Or do I have to cut out every last bit of blood? Will brining get the blood out?
OK, photos (let's hope this works):

Eh, that looks bloodshot to me. I would offer those pics to the farmers. As much as you are paying for Berkshire, you shouldn't have this sort of problem, and they need to make it right.
I will PM you some information this morning on embedding pics using ImageGullet.
Noooooooooo! Please don't teach anyone how to embed those pictures! They gave me the shivers, and I was terribly glad they weren't embedded!
Definitely go to the farmers with your pictures (and some of the meat). Don't discard any of it just yet, because they may ask to see it in person.

I don't know any answers to your butchering questions but those photos bother me a lot !

I did some intense internet research, and I think what happened to this pig is something called blood splashing. This is usually caused by the animal not being bled soon enough after being stunned, but can also result from the use of electric prodders or other stress on the animal pre-slaugher. If it is this blood splashing, the non-spotted parts are fine, and the spotted parts are fine for animal feed (so the dogs will be eating well for a while). So let's hope that's what it was, and I can still use the meat in some way without having to just throw it away.
Posted 01 July 2007 - 03:55 PM
I think they will make it right.
Lucky dog! Mine thinks it's really cool to get a bit of jerky!
Posted 01 July 2007 - 05:46 PM
What a reasonable response
Yeah, if they are raising Berkshire and take pride, they are going to take the situation hard. No need to be pushy.
I think they will make it right.

Anna, you could look into the inspection done at the abatoire. In most districts it will be done by a veterinarian on site and bad animals or problems will be rejected. How was yours slaughtered?

So it was indeed "blood splashing". I guess it happens in a certain percentage of hogs/pigs, and because I got mine minimally processed (just gutted, cleaned, and cut down the backbone) so I could butcher it myself, there was no way to tell. But all the non-spotted parts are fine. The rest can go to the dogs (got some cooking up for them right now). And so I guess I'll be making a lot of sausage from the spotted areas (although with the loin, I can cut the non-spotted parts into chunks for kabobs on the grill, or probably grind for lean pork meatballs or something). It will make me be more creative with what I do with the meat, so I guess that's the silver lining to the cloud.
The farmers had kept a hog and a half for themselves out of this batch (although they had it completely butchered by the processor and frozen), and they're going to give me an extra half a hog (one of the 400 pounders--mine was 290 pounds) as compensation for the parts I can't use (which seems to be maybe a quarter to a third of my pig).
So it all works out. I won't have my giant ham to cure as I wanted (they had the hams cut up into smaller hams), but I'll certainly be getting lots more practice making sausage (I just recently bought a new wine fridge that I'm turning into a curing box for dry-curing meat). Or maybe I'll just try curing the ham anyway, and see when I slice into it, what parts are affected. I doubt the blood taste would carry through the whole piece.
And if anyone else has this problem in the future, hopefully they'll search on egullet and this will help them!

And homemade sausage is, of course, worth all the effort.
Posted 03 July 2007 - 04:42 AM
Some of the folks on the "Charcuterie" topic can advise you on what would happen with the ham, I'm sure:
The topic is 84 pages long but that link should take you to the last page.
Good to hear that the farmer's you were dealing with are making efforts to do the right thing by you.
Be sure and tells us about how everything turns out with the sausage!

Since the topic is right before us, I was wondering if anybody actually knows what the bloody spots in the flesh do the its flavor? They look bad, and are acknowledged as a fault, but how do they affect the way the meat tastes? Do they add iron flavor? Do they promote mealy texture? Do they accelerate spoilage? What exactly makes blood spots so undesirable and renders meat containing them suitable only for pet food?
That's a great question, and I am looking forward to hearing from someone who really knows what they are talking about.
I've heard everything from brining (draws the blood out) to "that's not fit to eat" to "just cook it up"
It would be interesting to find out what the effects of curing will have on the ham.

Well, being an adventurous eater, and figuring it's just blood, I did fry up a sample to see. The blood spots taste like, well, blood (kind of livery, but not in the good way of liver or blood sausage). Not particularly palatable. I'm actually guessing that there's probably no harm in eating them (in fact both the processor and one website I looked at noted that if the splashing is minor, it's okay to eat).
The bigger issue is the looks--the spots turn quite black when cooked, and I can't imagine many consumers being comfortable serving meat that looked that way. I do have a picture, but if the others caused cringes, this one surely would, so I will just use the link again, and not embed:
Right now everything's frozen solid, so I can't answer the accelerating spoilage question.
But, being an experimenter, I'm going to try some experiments! Brining the spotted chops, curing the ham. Why not? (PS--I LOVE that charcuterie topic.)
I'll be sure to post results.
Posted 03 July 2007 - 10:18 PM
As for weighing in on flavor and appearance...I think your appearance is shot if you are looking at it from a fresh steak perspective. Then again, you're also shot if you wanted to cure whole legs. The meat would cure ok, but it would look ugly. As for flavor when you get into cooking a steak that is bloodshot, you have a more mineral flavor, slight iron, but for the most part it can be masked if the steak is large enough. In other words, I don't think that it has to all become dog food. I know someone mentioned it before, sausage is a great alternative unless you think your dogs just really deserve it.

Women of Faith Awards
2014 Theme: Prophetic Women of Faith
Basis for the Theme:
One of the directional goals in the Presbyterian Mission Agency's Mission Work Plan (2013-2016), is Compassionate Prophetic Discipleship. As we recognize servants who work with God to make, receive, and send disciples, we also recognize women who are not only compassionate but prophetic. We don't always hear about prophetic women of faith, however, there are women who are part of the prophetic tradition in our church, following the example of prophets and apostles, who came before them.
Purpose of award:
This award recognizes prophetic women of faith who are not only compassionate but also prophetic, following the example of prophets and apostles in the church.
"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy." – Acts 2:17-18 (NIV)
2014 Women of Faith Award recipients named
Three women to be honored for prophetic witness
Three prophetic women have been named recipients of the 2014 Women of Faith Award by the Presbyterian Mission Agency of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) during its board meeting: Ruling Elder Joanie Lukins—Danville, Kentucky, Ruling Elder Helen Morrison—Grosse Ile, Michigan, and The Rev. Joyce Shin—Chicago, Illinois.
The recipients will be honored at the Women of Faith Breakfast on Sunday, June 15, during the 221st General Assembly in Detroit. The theme for this year's awards is "Prophetic Women of Faith."
Recipients of the award were announced following recommendations from the Women of Faith committee. Nominations are received from throughout the church, and honorees were selected by a committee of representatives from groups related to the Racial Ethnic & Women's Ministries/Presbyterian Women ministry area of the mission agency.

In October 2000, a group six county agencies, consisting of Montgomery County, Montgomery County Public Schools, Montgomery County Housing Opportunities Commission, Montgomery College, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, began purchasing power on a competitive basis. In March 2003, the county's energy policy was amended to incorporate the purchase of renewable energy and to expand energy-efficiency efforts. This resolution required all county agencies to purchase 5% of their total electricity supply from power generated by zero-emission renewable resources.
In May 2005, Montgomery County signed a contract with Washington Gas Energy Services and its wind energy supplier, Community Energy, to supply 5% of a multi-jurisdictional group's power with wind-energy resources, resulting in a purchase of 38.4 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year for two years from wind facilities in West Virginia. The contract applied to six county agencies, 11 municipalities and Prince George's County. In early 2006, the county and its partners doubled their commitment to 10% renewable energy (Resolution 15-1529) for FY 2007 with a further goal of 20% by FY 2011. The County further updated the green purchasing policy in October 2008, enacting a resolution setting an FY 2009 goal of 15% renewable energy while maintaining the FY 2011 goal of 20%. The 2008 resolution also updated the County's renewable energy qualification criteria to include only wind, solar, anaerobic digestion, landfill gas, biomass, geothermal, and tidal energy as defined under the Tier I resource definitions of the state RPS.
In April 2010, the County and its partners announced a new green power purchase of almost 162 million kWh, boosting the County's purchase to 30% of its annual electricity use. However, as of June 2012 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power partnership lists a current purchase of 134.6 million kWh, or 25% of electricity demand for the collective group. The County's FY2013 budget documents assume a continuation of these purchases, with most county agencies achieving a minimum purchase of 20% renewable energy through the extension of current contracts. The Montgomery County Clean Energy Buyers Group currently consists of Montgomery County Government, Montgomery County Public Schools, Montgomery College and The Maryland-National Park and Planning Commission. Also participating are the City of College Park, Chevy Chase Village, Chevy Chase Village Section 5, City of Gaithersburg, City of Rockville, City of Takoma Park, Town of Glen Echo, Town of Kensington, Town of Laytonsville and Town of Somerset.
The group's initial commitment to purchase wind power was influenced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's designation of metropolitan Washington, DC, as a severe ozone non-attainment area. As a result of this designation, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC, approved State Implementation Plans (SIPs) in February 2004 in order to meet the national Ambient Air Quality Standard for ground-level ozone. These SIPs include the first state submissions of wind-energy purchases as control measures in regional air-quality plans required under the Clean Air Act. The wind purchase was designed to reduce dangerous ozone transport caused by fossil-fuel power plants in upwind areas.

Parents, teens in Thousand Oaks take best shots at pool tournament trophy
For the third consecutive year, Adam Premo won the parent-teen pool tournament at the Thousand Oaks Teen Center.
Premo, of Camarillo, and his partner, Matt Munowitch, beat nine other teams in the annual event Saturday. The pair received a 2½-foot trophy.
Chris Rasmussen, 13, and his father, Steffan Nielsen, took second place.
"The real special part about it is: Not only do the kids get to play with a parent or volunteer, but we barbecue tri-tip sandwiches, and that's a favorite," said Jay Dodwell, teen services coordinator.
The teens were paired with adults in teams of two to play the other pairs for the title. Volunteers accompanied teens whose parents were unavailable so everyone could participate.
"They rotate shots," Dodwell said. "The kid will shoot once and then the adult until they miss."
Charles Hacker, the center's recreation leader, who runs the weekly Friday night billiard program, said the biggest challenge was organizing tournament play.
"We never know ahead of time how many teams will be here so we want to make sure we have the right set for the right amount of teams that are here," Hacker said. "We want to do the round robin and double elimination so they can play all the teams and get the most out of it."
Premo, 17, has enjoyed playing the past few years but will be ineligible next year because he will graduate high school this year. He brought Munowitch to play with him because his father had to work.
"I have a pool table at home," he said. "I play almost every day. My dad is at work, so I brought a sub dad."
Munowitch, 27, said he's "not bad" at pool.
The center also hosts Friday night tournaments. Thousand Oaks resident Michael Estiandan, 14, who leads the Friday play, said he wanted to compete for the trophy at the tournament.
"Michael was excited about this," said Arthur Estiandan, Michael's father. "He texted me telling me that there was a parent-teen tournament, so I couldn't get out of it. This is some nice bonding time, but last time I played pool was probably 20 years ago."
"But he's doing pretty well," his son said.
"We're not here to win or lose, we're just here to hang out," Arthur Estiandan said.
John Charles, 15, said he came for fun. He described himself as a nonpool player who likes to play pool.
His teammate, volunteer Mike Spitzlberger, said: "By no means, am I a pool player, but I'm competitive. I'm not very good, but we'll see. There's some luck in the game."
Rasmussen and Nielsen lost the first round by one ball but were enjoying an afternoon of bonding.
"It was a good game, though," Nielsen said. "This is a lot of fun. We came to have a Saturday afternoon together."
"We're having fun," Rasmussen said. "I'm enjoying spending time with my dad. We don't get to do it enough."

RAYMONDVILLE - Three people were taken to Massena Memorial Hospital following an accident Wednesday morning on state Route 56 in the town of Norfolk that involved a beer truck owned by Cappione, Inc., Massena.
Norfolk Volunteer Fire Department Chief Greg Monroe said the accident occurred at approximately 6:50 a.m. on a bend in the road near the Parkway Express convenience store.
State police said a pickup truck operated by Kevin LaPage, 47, of Raymondville was navigating around the bend, just north of the convenience store when he entered the oncoming lane of traffic, striking the beer truck nearly head-on.
The beer truck was operated by Randy McGregor, 53, of Raymondville. A passenger inside the truck, Andrew Phillips, 36, of Brasher Falls was also injured.
Troopers said each of the three men were taken to Massena Memorial Hospital, where they were treated and released.
In order to better manage the scene, Mr. Monroe said state Route 56 from state Route 310 to West Hatfield Street was closed. That stretch of Route 56 was reopened at 10:10 a.m.
When asked if weather played a role in the accident, state police said that it likely did.
In addition to Norfolk Fire and state police, Mr. Monroe said, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the Norfolk Volunteer Rescue Squad and Seaway Valley Ambulance all responded to the scene.
DEC Spokesman Steven W. Litwhiler said approximately 30 gallons of diesel was spilled as a result of the accident.
The company hired Op-Tech (Op-Tech Environmental Services, Massena) to come and clean it up, and they were off the scene by 10:30 a.m., Mr. Litwhiler said.

WOONSOCKET — Inside the Barry Field meeting/locker room hangs a sign reading simply, "Discipline: Do what has to be done; when it has to be done; as well as it can be done; do it that way all the time."
Excepting a couple of fumbles (one lost) and five penalties for a minus-32 yards, Woonsocket High pretty much followed those instructions to a "T" in its Challenge Cup non-league tilt against East Providence High on what became a soggy Saturday afternoon.
In the final three quarters alone, the senior-junior rushing tandem of Jalen Evans and D'Andre Thomas accumulated a whopping 297 yards on 29 handles, and the Villa Novans sailed to a rather satisfying 21-0 victory before a crowd of perhaps 200 at Barry Field.
Evans closed with 139 yards and three touchdowns on 12 handles, while Thomas hustled for 158 yards on 17.
Those outings, coupled with a solid defensive outing, delivered Woonsocket a triumph to build on as it prepares to battle host Johnston at 7 p.m., Friday.
"I'd say we were disciplined somewhat, but we still have some things we need to clean up," head coach Carnell Henderson stated matter-of-factly afterward. "We had some offsides penalties and some other mistakes, but – for the most part – we played fundamentally solid.
"I'm satisfied with the overall effort; they had tremendous effort and execution at certain parts of the game, and the energy they played with was terrific," he added. "We've got some guys who were playing for the first time, and it was good to see them capitalize on their opportunities."
As for his stellar rushers, Henderson noted, "Those are the unknowns. They were pretty much hurt all last year, and I know they're looking ahead to the challenge of playing a complete season (together). They stepped it up (Saturday); we're hoping they'll be 100-percent healthy the rest of the way."
Defensively, the Division II Villa Novans yielded the D-I Townies to only 28 yards on 12 rushes (over the last 36 minutes), and two signal callers – including junior John Costa and senior Jashaun Bennett – completed just five of 15 aerials for 59 yards, and were intercepted once.
Standouts included sophomore tackle Shawn Ingram and classmate Jaston Robinson, junior cornerback Will Andino, senior lineman Brian Cahill and junior Francisco Torres, to name just a quintet.
Three plays into the second quarter, Woonsocket quarterback Brett Bouchard fumbled at his own 40, senior tackle Benjamin Veiga recovering, and EP sophomore running back Trystan Casey's 31-yard jaunt down the left sideline, gave the Townies a first-and-goal at the 9.
The 'Novans eventually drove it to the 4, but sophomore Corey Resendes' 21-yard field goal caromed off the crossbar. On the play, however, officials whistled a defender for roughing the kicker, giving EP a first-and-goal at the 2.
On fourth-and-goal at the one, though, Robinson downed Casey for a three-yard loss, and Woonsocket took over, but not for long.
After Thomas' 24-yard hustle and an incomplete pass, Evans went off-left tackle, broke to the outside and ran untouched 72 yards for the initial score. John Poirier added the extra point.
With 1:27 left before the break, the Townies took advantage of Poirier's six-yard punt, which gave them the pigskin at the Woonsocket 37, and maneuvered it to the 13. On a third-and-10 situation, however, sophomore Ralph Garcia intercepted, and quarterback Brett Bouchard ran out the clock.
The 'Novans opened the third quarter with a five-play, 66-yard drive, that culminated by Evans' 10-yard sweep around right end; that cushioned the lead at 14-0.
EP suffered a fumble on its next possession, and Woonsocket took over at the 26, though nothing came of it. But it did take advantage of the Townies' second fumble at its own 20. Two snaps later, Evans raced six yards around right end – again untouched – and Poirier added his third PAT for the 21-0 lead.
Head coach Sandy Gorham's bunch opened its next drive with a 15-yard kickoff return by senior Edwin Rivera and a 32-yard hustle by Casey, who later ran 13 more yards to take the ball to the 7. But a five-yard procedure penalty, an incomplete pass, a sack of Bennett and two more incompletions ended that threat.
The Townies had one more chance to score, this after another six-yard Poirier punt landed at the Woonsocket 39. Four plays after, that possession stalled with a dropped ball.
"At face value, and looking at the score, you'd think we'd be pretty discouraged," Gorham offered after the tilt. "We had a TD called back because of a penalty (late in the first quarter, senior Joshua Rambert raced 53 yards down the left sideline for the TD, but it was negated due to an illegal block), , and we moved the ball down to the 3 but couldn't push it in.
"We had our opportunities, but couldn't capitalize," he added. "It really wasn't unexpected, as we're a very young team searching for an identity, especially on offense. We've been working on a shotgun set, and we looked very slow out there. There's still a decision to be made (with that philosophy).
"You've got to hand it to Woonsocket; they played very well defensively, and those two backs, especially Evans, can really move. They deserve a lot of credit."
It doesn't get any easier for the Townies, who will host Foxboro in another non-league contest at 7 p.m., Friday at Pierce Field.

PESHAWAR – The allotment of the education ministry in a militancy-hacked province in north-western Pakistan to a mainstream religious party is sparking a new face-off between Islamists and secularists in the Asian Muslim country.
"My message to the secular parties is not to worry about any kind of radicalization," Siraj-ul-Haq, the deputy chief of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), told OnIslam.net.
"Our major aim is not to engage in any kind of controversy, but to create an environment where each and every child of KP can go to school, and introduce one curriculum across the province."
The JI has won seven seats in the provincial assembly in the militancy-hacked northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhuwa (KP) province in the May 11 elections.
Cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) emerged the largest majority party in the province with 33 seats of the 99-member assembly.
The two parties have reached an agreement under which the JI will take over three portfolios, including the finance and education ministries.
But the move has sparked warnings from secular educationalists that the JI could radicalize the curriculum and fuel the already growing militancy in the province.
"I don't think that it would be a wise step to give education department to a party, which has been opposing the changes to bring the message of peace in the curriculum," Professor Fazl-i-Rahim Marwat, the vice-chancellor of Bacha Khan University Peshawar, told OnIslam.net.
He argued that the JI had opposed attempts to introduce changes to the curriculum to help promote peace in the province.
"This is on record that the JI had opposed these changes, and forced us to reverse them from the text books of Islamiat, and English," he said.
The move to remove verses about Jihad from Islamiat and topics about war heroes from English textbooks triggered widespread protests from Islamic parties and teacher unions.
"Our history is distorted. We depict the invaders as our heroes, which is one of the causes of growing extremism in our society," said professor Rahim, who was appointed the vice chancellor of Bacha Khan University, which was established in the name of later Bacha Khan, the founder of left-wing Awami National Party (ANP), referring to King Mahmood Ghaznavi, Shahabuddin Ghouri, Ahmed Shah Abdali, and other Muslim generals who had invaded united India in different times.
"We tried our best to put things in order, but we could not due to opposition from parties like JI," he said.
"Now, the things are going to be in the hands of JI whose inclinations are very much evident."
Our History
But the JI dismissed the secular accusations.
"Neither the people of KP nor the secular lobby should be worried about radicalization of curriculum if our minister takes over the education department," said Siraj-ul-Haq, who is also senior minister-designate of the KP government.
"We are the citizens of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, which has an Islamic Constitution," said Siraj-ul-Haq, who is going to take over the finance ministry for the second time.
"Therefore we do not need to go beyond the constitution. We will act completely in line with the Constitution."
Siraj had acted as the finance minister from 2002 to 2007 in the government of Muttehida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), an umbrella of six religious parties.
During his tenure, the KP was declared the most financially-disciplined province by the international financial institutions, including the Asian Development Bank.
The JI deputy dismissed the secularist contention regarding the introduction of invaders as heroes.
"One historical fact is defined by different nations in different ways. One's hero can be other's villain," he said.
"Non-Muslim historians dub the companions of noble Prophet (peace be Upon Him) as invaders. Does professor Rahim want us to follow these historians," he asked.
"We have our own history. We cannot change it just to appease the West.""How can we deprive our children of their history just to counter stereotypes. Our children should know about our history."

We've come a long way from the time when Lord Montague of Beaulieu bought a 1923 La Buire at auction for £60 and exclaimed, "This unrealistically high level of bids can only be attributed to sales hysteria!" But spending serious money on a collector car is certainly nothing new. In 1979, Christies staggered not only the automotive auction world, but the mainstream press when it sold a 1935 Mercedes-Benz 500K roadster for the then-outrageous sum of $400,000.
Trends in what collectors will spend big dollars on ebb and flow like the tide at the Bay of Fundy, making speculation on what's going to be hot next year a dangerous business. Ask anyone who built a slew of custom hot rods, figuring that after 2003, custom cars were a license to print money at Barrett-Jackson. In 2004, customs made up the bulk of the top ten auction cars sold at that auction. In 2005, there were two customs in the top ten cars. In 2006, there were none.
Which brings us to the tricky business of profiling the Bonneville Special, and trying to evaluate the trend that's going on at Barrett-Jackson today. A trained chimp could figure out that when a Hemi 'Cuda convertible sells for $2 million that muscle cars are hot. He'd only have to look at what else sold for big money over the last five years to figure that one out.
But when a car like the 1954 Bonneville Special sells for $2.8 million (without premium), is it a trend or an anomaly? Sure, last year's tremendous sale of the Oldsmobile F-88 concept car for $3 million gave us an indication of where one-off, custom-built GM show cars were headed. But when the gavel fell at $2.8 million for the Bonneville Special, there was almost an atmosphere of anti-climax, especially given all the hype.
Is $2.8 million something to cheer about, or an indication that maybe the tremendous dollars traded for these cars will cool faster than they've heated up? Naturally, $2.8 million is nothing to sneeze at. But some experts were expecting the Bonneville Special to outpace the $3 million F-88 by at least a million, and some were eagerly speculating that the car would crack $5 million.
There is a finite stockpile of these cars available at any given point. And, like vintage lithographed automotive posters from the 1920s, they were never considered to be valuable when they were new. They were often crushed as soon as the show circuit was completed. When the F-88 sold last year at Barrett-Jackson, one of Harley Earl's designers, David North (who also worked up the design of the original Toronado), told Hemmings Classic Car that show cars and prototypes like the F-88 and the Bonneville Special were never intended to leave the building, but through diversion, skullduggery and sleight-of-hand, a small few managed to be snuck out Johnny Cash-style, one piece at a time.
So, obviously, their rarity makes them inherently valuable. But there are at least two more restored versions of the GM Futurliner bus in existence, and seven more that are unrestored from the original twelve built. Yet, when it came up for auction, the one-of-twelve Futurliner bus outgunned the one-of-two Bonneville Special by almost $1.3 million.
Condition may have had something to do with the sales number the Bonneville Special generated. In this case, better may not actually be, well, better. The F-88 showed that certain patina a vehicle gets when it's stashed away in a barn, under nothing much more than a cotton tarp. When it was presented, it was certainly in decent condition, but it wasn't perfect, by any means.
The one unanimous comment about the Bonneville Special, however, was that it sure looked better than it ever did when it was on the show circuit. Under the hood, the engine gleamed, and the twin suspenders Harley Earl finally kicked off the rest of the Pontiac line's hoods in 1957 shone with a perfection that could only be generated by a master restorer. It just didn't have the more "out-of-storage fresh," original appearance that the F-88 did.
So what's going to be the big draw next year? Success breeds success, and the masses are always clamoring for a sequel, but there simply aren't enough of these cars around in top-notch condition to satisfy the current demand… unless someone decides to liquidate the Banshee.

Smartphone adoption is greatest between the ages of 25 to 55. Why? The past/current prices of smartphones are significantly higher than feature phones and users between the ages of 25 to 55 have the available disposable income to purchase these pricy gadgets. However, in the near future, research predicts that prices for smartphones will start to decline and smartphone penetration will increase up to 50% with teenagers and adults ages 45 to 64 will see a comparable increase.
So, what does this all mean? There's the obvious, content consumption will grow to match the capabilities of the smartphones that these new age groups acquire.
This also means the increased market penetration of smartphones will grow the amount of consumers looking for new ways to acquire engaging content on their smartphones. Which will more than likely be technologies such as 2dbarcodes, Near Field Communication (NFC) and other triggers that will be existing in the wild that connect users to the real and digital world.
Furthermore, since all 2dbarcodes, Near Field Communication (NFC) and other triggers that will be existing in the wild connect to mobile web application or native mobile applications how are you going to optimize these experiences for the upcoming demographics? The relationship between mobile phones and their users are extremely personal and the mobile optimized sites that currently exist might not relate to these new demographics of smartphone users. With this in mind I'll leave you with an open question for discussion, what are your thoughts on how mobile optimization will adapt for this growth of smartphone users in teenagers and adults between 45 to 64 years old?

Downtown Cleveland Attracts Leasing but Loses Skylight Financial Group
By Adrian Maties, Associate Editor
The Cleveland office market had a strong start to 2013, and it continued to see activity throughout the first half of the year. According to CBRE Group Inc., the office market finished the second quarter with 124,568 square feet of positive absorption. The overall vacancy rate, while still high, decreased to 20.2 percent.
The Central Business District had 67,069 square feet of positive absorption, higher than the suburban market, with the vacancy rate decreasing to 19.7 percent from 20.3 percent in the previous quarter. A series of lease renewals and expansions suggested that tenants are striving to lock up space.
In spite of this trend, though, there are still some companies looking to leave downtown Cleveland.
According to The Plain Dealer, Skylight Financial Group will move roughly 100 workers from the Skylight Office Tower at Tower City in downtown Cleveland to the United Bank Building at West 25th and Lorain Avenue in Ohio City. The company has signed a 10-year lease for nearly 18,000 square feet on the top floor of the building. Skylight will also occupy a penthouse that building owner MRN Ltd. will construct for it.
This is an unusual move for a financial-planning firm, as Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood is better known for its breweries (it has the largest concentration of breweries in the city). However, Skylight executives told The Plain Dealer they see this move as an opportunity to contribute to the revitalization of the neighborhood and also recruit more young professionals. They selected Ohio City because they believe the company will have a greater impact in this area than in Cleveland's downtown.
The move is just what Ari Maron of MRN Ltd. has been waiting for. It provides the United Bank Building with the right anchor and also brings its occupancy up to 95 percent.
Skylight Financial Group isn't the only company to leave downtown Cleveland. Eaton Corp. left its former offices at 1111 Superior Ave. downtown in February. It moved 700 employees to Eaton Center, a 580,000-square-foot building in Beachwood.Photo credits: Skylight Financial Group Tags: Acquisitions/Dispositions, Central Business District, Cleveland, Cleveland Lead Story, Commercial, commercial real estate, Downtown, economy, leasing, Local, MRN Ltd., National, Office, Ohio City, Regional, Skylight Financial Group, Skylight Office Tower, United Bank Building

The popular UC Browser has just added a new platform to its compatibility list, as the developers have announced the availability of BlackBerry version.
Developed by UC Mobile, the UC Browser runs on a wide range of platforms such as Symbian, Android, Java, Windows Mobile, MTK, iPhone and Brew.
Currently, the browser is compatible with more than 100 phone brands and about 2000 models. UC Browser was originally launched in April 2004 as a Java-only application, but it has seen dramatic changes over the years.
It appears that all the features that makes UC Browser one of the fastest browsers for mobile phones have also been included with the Blackberry version, including traffic saving, powerful downloading function, and user experience oriented features.
According to the developers, the UC Browser is 2 seconds faster than the Opera Mini when various webpages are loaded.
In addition, UC Browser saves 30% more traffic than Opera Mini, which means users could save up to 30% of their bills to the carriers.
The application supports more WAP2.0 tags and upgrades the compatibility to WAP 2.0 page.
One of the most useful features included with the UC Browser 7.8 for BlackBerry is the Start Page Site Navigation, which allows users to access their favorite websites with only one click.
Furthermore, the application now supports the multi-tread download, as well as the ability to pause and resume any downloads.
UC Browser for BlackBerry supports "remember current page" and "clear all browser history" operations.
Obviously, the browser supports customization, so users will be able to change themes and make the browser more crisp and vivid.
UC Browser 7.8 for BlackBerry is now available as a free download from Softpedia.
However, the application will soon be available directly from the phone via BlackBerry App World.

Burst! is an indie rhythm game where players detonate fireworks to the music and unlock Periodic Table Elements to unlock colors! Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 1, 2012.
Burst! is an indie rhythm game where players detonate fireworks to the music and unlock Periodic Table Elements to unlock colors!
About this project
(Read below to learn more about Burst! then play the Flash powered proof of concept over at http://teamkaizengames.com/games/burst-web-edition/ !!)
Burst! Is the indie rhythm game for indie musicians! Originally built as a Flash proof of concept on the Android platform (look up Burst! Beta by AEC Mobile, requires Adobe Air to be installed separately), we got some great feedback from that and are now ready to take Burst! to the next level by developing it in Unreal 3 via the Unreal Dev Kit program!
In Burst!, players detonate fireworks to the beat of music. As they progress through the game, they unlock elements off of the Periodic Table to increase their color palate (different minerals and metals off of the Periodic Table are used in real life to make different firework colors). This kind of game design element (including real Science, Technology, Engineering and Math aka STEM naturally in gameplay) we call 'educational lite'. Burst!'s goal isn't to enable people to pass chemistry tests necessarily, but just to show how STEM elements enable real life experiences like firework shows and help gamers have a deeper understanding of the world around them! We also enable players to design their own Special Shell (that detonates when they blow up fireworks on 5 beats back to back) that puts their own unique design in the sky!
In the final version of Burst!, we aim to make a web tool where indie unsigned bands can upload their music, add the beats players need to respond to and make their own DLC tracks for fans to download at shows. Players will be able to download these songs from the Burst! Store (there's a button for it in the Flash beta, but it's not live right now) so they can discover new acts and use the music as their canvas for a pyrotechnic masterpiece!
This is the standard gameplay screen for the Flash powered beta (in the final version, it will be 3D in an actual 3D environment).
Wanna try Burst!? You can try it on the Android Market (Burst! Beta by AEC Mobile) but, due to the current nature of Air Mobile, performance can be heavily impacted by the specs of your phone. You can also try the Flash powered beta in web browser form on our site over at: http://teamkaizengames.com/games/burst-web-edition/
While you're at it, why not sign up for our forums and tell us how we did? We can actively take that input into consideration for the Unreal 3 build!
Also, if you enjoyed the song in the build and trailer (Bad Battery Door Burst! Remix by North Central Montana rockers M-79) you can download the song for free! The link is: http://teamkaizengames.com/m-79/
Just repay us by helping spread the word about this Kickstarter page and also show the M-79 guys some love over at http://www.facebook.com/MSEVENNINE !!!!
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Pledge $1 or more
About $1.00 USD

Nicholas of Cusa wrote a book back in the 15th century called De Docta Ignorantia, often translated as "On learned ignorance". It has nothing whatsoever to do with this post. Well, it sort of does.
Nicholas, a Cardinal, held that human reason was limited, and could not reach knowledge of things beyond the world. In short, he was an agnostic. Wait, I hear you saying – a Cardinal of the Catholic Church who thought that nothing could be known of God? Well yes, as Cusa held that "knowledge" of God was had solely by faith.
The world, as we are so often reminded, divides into two kinds of people. In this case, it divides into those who do not know about God, and do not care, and those who do know about God, and who do care. I am firmly of the former camp – an apathetic agnostic (don't know, don't care), or apatheist, as some like to call it.
The Rest of the World is further divided into those who think they do know about God and do care, and those who think they know there is no God, and do care. Ken Miller is one of the former. Richard Dawkins, and recently PZ Mghlsls and Larry Moran are of the latter. And what the latter think of me and my ilk (it appears to be ilk hunting season) is that we are wimps, irrational, Neville Chamberlain types who seek only to appease the former.
Now I know both PZ and Larry well enough to know they are fine fellows. Both have bought me beer, so I cannot disparage their character. But I ask you, oh neutral reader, is it really useful or important to attack those who agree with nearly everything you say, irrespective of their metaphysical commitments, because you think that certain kinds of religious believers are ignorant and misinformed?
Of course
There is a long-standing tradition among atheists – it goes back as far as I can recall (the early Quaternary) – to attack those who reject religion, but do not condemn it, as wishy washy. I can only speculate on why this is. It seems to me a peculiarly American thing (not the nation, but the continent) to divide the discussants into sharp team like that. The British tradition is much looser – you can be an Anglican agnostic, a bit like Cusa, or you can be a hard atheist who respects others' beliefs. Perhaps it has to do with the all-encompassing nature of religious discourse in America. You really cannot escape religion there, while in more apathetic nations like mine, you have to go looking for it to have a really good debate (and even then you are likely to find it hard to get a good discussion going; in my atheist post-Christian period, I really wanted to have it out with some folk, but they unaccountably weren't interested).
Why is it that atheists of that ilk (more ilk! Be vewy vewy qwiet; I'm hunting ilk!) want to both attack us of the Mediocracy (fence sitters, wimps, appeasers), and at the same time claim that really, we are in their camp? Do we need camps? If, as PZ suggests, we are choosing teams, then there are going to be a slew of us who are left at the end not being chosen to play, and I hate that.
Fact is, all I'm interested in is getting people to understand science (and the odd bit of philosophy). I do not care if they believe in the divine right of kings, the absence of one or more gods, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster… hmmm, maybe I'll make an exception in that case, because global warming depends on the number of pirates who worship His Noodliness). I don't care if they think that evolution is true – truth is for the believers (of both kinds). I only want people to know the facts of the science. If someone tries to enter a university course on biology who doesn't know the basics of that science, then of course they should not be granted entry. But that has nothing whatsoever to do with their believing in it.
Of course, it may be hard to maintain disbelief in the face of actual data, but that's a taxon of another clade.
Incidentally, Chamberlain is badly treated by history. It made perfect sense to try to avoid a devastating war with an industrially superior nation. He was not to know what is in hindsight perfectly obvious, that Hitler would not keep his treaty obligations (Stalin found that out as well). This is hardly an analogous case – we know perfectly well what the fundamentalists want, and it has nothing to do with science per se, but with social control. But that simply isn't true of most religions or religious believers. The loss of secularism in social policy in America is not the agenda of most denominations, although we can expect they won't cry if they are in the ascendancy. It is not the goal of most religious folk I know. And we can deal with the fundies without needing to draw sharp lines in the sand, and daring people to cross them.
So my unasked-for advice is to chill. If you want, in your heart, to think I am atheist, do so. I don't think I am. I am a learnedly ignorant person, who moreover thinks the whole debate is rather irrelevant to what really matters: science. That's all that counts.
So I'm with John Lynch on this. For God's sake, cool it.

Internal Revenue Bulletin: 2005-50
December 12, 2005
Table of Contents
This revenue procedure updates Rev. Proc. 2004-73, 2004-2 C.B. 999, and identifies circumstances under which the disclosure on a taxpayer's return with respect to an item or a position is adequate for the purpose of reducing the understatement of income tax under section 6662(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (relating to the substantial understatement aspect of the accuracy-related penalty), and for the purpose of avoiding the preparer penalty under section 6694(a) (relating to understatements due to unrealistic positions). This revenue procedure does not apply with respect to any other penalty provisions (including the disregard provisions of the section 6662 accuracy-related penalty, which are subject to an exception for adequate disclosure).
This revenue procedure applies to any return filed on 2005 tax forms for a taxable year beginning in 2005, and to any return filed on 2005 tax forms in 2006 for short taxable years beginning in 2006.
.01 Editorial changes have been made in updating Rev. Proc. 2004-73.
.02 Section 1 clarifies that the disregard provisions, and not the negligence provision, of the section 6662 accuracy penalty are subject to an adequate disclosure exception (and that this revenue procedure is not applicable to the exception for the disregard provisions).
.03 Section 3.02 reflects the amendment of section 6662(d)(1)(B) by section 819 of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Pub. L. No. 108-357, 118 Stat. 1418 (2004) (the AJCA of 2004) which revises the threshold for determining whether an understatement is substantial for certain corporations.
.04 Section 3.06 explains the effect of tax law changes effective after December 31, 2005, on the use of this revenue procedure for fiscal year and short year returns.
.05 Section 4.01 has been divided into paragraphs: 4.01, General, and 4.02, Items. The first paragraph provides general guidance relevant to all items in the revenue procedure, and the second paragraph identifies the items for which the entry of an amount on the line of a return is adequate disclosure.
.06 Section 4.01(3) adds a new paragraph cautioning that the entry of an amount on a line will not provide adequate disclosure when an understatement arises from a related party transaction.
.07 Section 4.01(4) adds an example (using Schedule M-3, Net Income (Loss) Reconciliation for Corporations With Total Assets of $10 Million or More) for disclosing an item on a line that does not have a preprinted description identifying that item.
.08 Section 4.01(5) adds a new paragraph cautioning that the entry of an amount on a line in conformity with this revenue procedure will not provide adequate disclosure for the section 6662 accuracy-related penalty if the item or position is attributable to a tax shelter or if it does not have a reasonable basis and supporting records. The paragraph also includes limitations on the effectiveness of a disclosure for purposes of the section 6694 return preparer penalty.
.09 Section 4.02(1)(d) reflects the enactment of section 170(f)(12) by section 884 of the AJCA of 2004. Section 170(f)(12) concerns the amount that a donor may deduct for a charitable contribution of a qualified vehicle, boat, or airplane having a value of more than $500.
.01 If section 6662 applies to any portion of an underpayment of tax required to be shown on a return, an amount equal to 20 percent of the portion of the underpayment to which the section applies is added to the tax. (The penalty rate is 40 percent in the case of gross valuation misstatements under section 6662(h).) Section 6662(b)(2) applies to the portion of an underpayment of tax that is attributable to a substantial understatement of income tax.
.02 Section 6662(d)(1) provides that there is a substantial understatement of income tax if the amount of the understatement exceeds the greater of 10 percent of the amount of tax required to be shown on the return for the taxable year or $5,000. Section 6662(d)(1)(B) provides special rules for corporations. A corporation (other than an S corporation or personal holding company) has a substantial understatement of income tax if the amount of the understatement exceeds the lesser of 10 percent of the tax required to be shown on the return for a taxable year (or, if greater, $10,000) or $10,000,000. Section 6662(d)(2) defines an understatement as the excess of the amount of tax required to be shown on the return for the taxable year over the amount of the tax that is shown on the return reduced by any rebate (within the meaning of section 6211(b)(2)).
.03 In the case of an item not attributable to a tax shelter, section 6662(d)(2)(B)(ii) provides that the amount of the understatement is reduced by the portion of the understatement attributable to any item with respect to which the relevant facts affecting the item's tax treatment are adequately disclosed in the return or in a statement attached to the return, and there is a reasonable basis for the tax treatment of the item by the taxpayer.
.04 Section 6694 imposes a penalty of $250 on an income tax return preparer for filing a return or claim for refund that results in an understatement of liability due to a position for which the preparer knew or should have known that there was not a realistic possibility of being sustained on the merits and the position was not disclosed in accordance with section 6662(d)(2)(B)(ii).
.05 In general, this revenue procedure provides guidance for determining when disclosure is adequate for purposes of section 6662(d)(2)(B)(ii) and section 6694(a)(3). For purposes of this revenue procedure, the taxpayer must furnish all required information in accordance with the applicable forms and instructions, and the money amounts entered on these forms must be verifiable. Annual guidance under Treas. Reg. § 1.6662(f)(2) and Treas. Reg. § 1.6694(e)(1) and (2) for returns filed on 2004, 2003, and 2002 tax forms is provided in Rev. Proc. 2004-73, Rev. Proc. 2003-77, 2003-2 C.B. 964; and Rev. Proc. 2002-66, 2002-2 C.B. 724, respectively.
.06 Fiscal and short tax year returns. (a) In general. This revenue procedure may apply to a return for a fiscal tax year that begins in 2005 and ends in 2006. This revenue procedure may also apply to a short year return for a period beginning in 2006 where the return is to be filed before the 2006 forms are available. (Note that individuals are generally not put in this position as a decedent's final return for a fractional part of a year is due the fifteenth day of the fourth month following the close of the12-month period which began with the first day of such fractional part of the year. See Treas. Reg. § 1.6072-1(b).) In the case of fiscal year and short year returns, the taxpayer must take into account any tax law changes that are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2005, even though these changes are not reflected on the form.
(b) Tax law changes effective after December 31, 2005. This document does not take into account the effect of tax law changes effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2005. If a line referenced in this revenue procedure is affected by such a change and requires additional reporting, a taxpayer may have to file Form 8275, Disclosure Statement, or Form 8275-R, Regulation Disclosure Statement, until the Service prescribes criteria for complying with the requirement.
(1) Additional disclosure of facts relevant to, or positions taken with respect to, issues involving any of the items set forth below is unnecessary for purposes of reducing any understatement of income tax under section 6662(d) (except as otherwise provided in section 4.02(3) concerning Schedules M-1 and M-3), provided that the forms and attachments are completed in a clear manner and in accordance with their instructions.
(2) The money amounts entered on the forms must be verifiable, and the information on the return must be disclosed in the manner described below. For purposes of this revenue procedure, a number is verifiable if, on audit, the taxpayer can demonstrate the origin of the number (even if that number is not ultimately accepted by the Internal Revenue Service) and the taxpayer can show good faith in entering that number on the applicable form.
(3) The disclosure of an amount as provided in section 4.02 below is not adequate when the understatement arises from a transaction between related parties. If an entry may present a legal issue or controversy because of a related party transaction, then that transaction and the relationship must be disclosed on a Form 8275, Disclosure Statement, or Form 8275-R, Regulation Disclosure Statement.
(4) Where the amount of an item is shown on a line that does not have a preprinted description identifying that item (such as on an unnamed line under an "Other Expense" category) the taxpayer must clearly identify the item by including the description on that line. For example, to disclose a bad debt for a sole proprietorship, the words "bad debt" must be written or typed on the line of Schedule C that shows the amount of the bad debt. Also, for Schedule M-3, Part II, line 26, Other income (loss) items with differences, or Part III, line 35, Other expense/deduction items with differences, the entry must provide descriptive language; for example, "Cost of non-compete agreement deductible not capitalizable." If space limitations on a form do not allow for an adequate description, the description must be continued on an attachment.
(5) Although a taxpayer may literally meet the disclosure requirements of this revenue procedure, the disclosure will have no effect for purposes of the section 6662 accuracy-related penalty if the item or position on the return: (1) Does not have a reasonable basis as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.6662-3(b)(3); (2) Is attributable to a tax shelter item as defined in section 6662(d)(2) and Treas. Reg. § 1.6662-4(g); or (3) Is not properly substantiated or the taxpayer failed to keep adequate books and records with respect to the item or position. See Treas. Reg. § 1.6694-2(c) regarding limitations on the effectiveness of a disclosure regarding the section 6694 return preparer penalty.
(1) Form 1040, Schedule A, Itemized Deductions:
(a) Medical and Dental Expenses: Complete lines 1 through 4, supplying all required information.
(b) Taxes: Complete lines 5 through 9, supplying all required information. Line 8 must list each type of tax and the amount paid.
(c) Interest Expenses: Complete lines 10 through 14, supplying all required information. This section 4.02(1)(c) does not apply to (i) amounts disallowed under section 163(d) unless Form 4952, Investment Interest Expense Deduction, is completed, or (ii) amounts disallowed under section 265.
(d) Contributions: Complete lines 15 through 18, supplying all required information. Enter the amount of the contribution reduced by the value of any substantial benefit (goods or services) provided by the donee organization in consideration, in whole or in part. Entering the value of the contribution unreduced by the value of the benefit received will not constitute adequate disclosure. If a contribution of $250 or more is made, this section will not apply unless a contemporaneous written acknowledgment, as required by section 170(f)(8), is obtained from the donee organization. If a contribution of property other than cash is made and the amount claimed as a deduction exceeds $500, attach a properly completed Form 8283, Noncash Charitable Contributions, to the return. In addition to the Form 8283, if a contribution of a qualified motor vehicle, boat, or airplane has a value of more than $500, this section will not apply unless a contemporaneous written acknowledgment, as required by section 170(f)(12), is obtained from the donee organization and attached to the return. An acknowledgment under section 170(f)(8) is not required if an acknowledgment under section 170(f)(12) is required.
(e) Casualty and Theft Losses: Complete Form 4684, Casualties and Thefts, and attach to the return. Each item or article for which a casualty or theft loss is claimed must be listed on Form 4684.
(2) Certain Trade or Business Expenses (including, for purposes of this section, the following six expenses as they relate to the rental of property):
(a) Casualty and Theft Losses: The procedure outlined in section 4.02(1)(e) must be followed.
(b) Legal Expenses: The amount claimed must be stated. This section does not apply, however, to amounts properly characterized as capital expenditures, personal expenses, or non-deductible lobbying or political expenditures, including amounts that are required to be (or that are) amortized over a period of years.
(c) Specific Bad Debt Charge-off: The amount written off must be stated.
(d) Reasonableness of Officers' Compensation: Form 1120, Schedule E, Compensation of Officers, must be completed when required by its instructions. The time devoted to business must be expressed as a percentage as opposed to "part" or "as needed." This section does not apply to "golden parachute" payments, as defined under section 280G. This section will not apply to the extent that remuneration paid or incurred exceeds the $1 million-employee-remuneration limitation, if applicable.
(e) Repair Expenses: The amount claimed must be stated. This section does not apply, however, to any repair expenses properly characterized as capital expenditures or personal expenses.
(f) Taxes (other than foreign taxes): The amount claimed must be stated.
(3) Differences in book and income tax reporting.
(a) Form 1120, Schedule M-1, Reconciliation of Income (Loss) per Books With Income per Return, and
(b) Schedule M-3, Net Income (Loss) Reconciliation for Corporations With Total Assets of $10 Million or More, Form 1120: Column (b), Temporary Difference, and Column (c), Permanent Difference, of Part II, (reconciliation of income (loss) items) and Part III (reconciliation of expense/deduction items).
The information provided reasonably must be expected to apprise the Service of the nature of the potential controversy concerning the tax treatment of the item. If the information provided does not so apprise the Service, a Form 8275 or Form 8275-R, must be used to adequately disclose the item (see Part II of the instructions for those forms).
Note: An item reported on a line with a pre-printed description, shown on an attached schedule, or "itemized" on Schedule M-1 may represent the aggregate amount of several transactions producing that item (i.e., a group of similar items, such as amounts paid or incurred for supplies by a taxpayer engaged in business). In some instances, the potentially controversial item may involve a portion of the amount disclosed on the schedule. The Service will not be reasonably apprised of the potential controversy by the amount disclosed. In these instances, the taxpayer must use Form 8275 or Form 8275-R regarding that portion of the item.
The combining of unlike items, whether on Schedule M-1 or Schedule M-3 (or on an attachment when directed by the instructions), will not constitute an adequate disclosure.
(4) Foreign Tax Items:
(a) International Boycott Transactions: Transactions disclosed on Form 5713, International Boycott Report. Schedule A, International Boycott Factor (Section 999(c)(1)); Schedule B, Specifically Attributable Taxes and Income (Section 999(c)(2)); and Schedule C, Tax Effect of the International Boycott Provisions, must be completed when required by their instructions.
(b) Treaty-Based Return Position: Transactions and amounts under section 6114 or section 7701(b) as disclosed on Form 8833, Treaty-Based Return Position Disclosure Under Section 6114 or 7701(b).
(5) Other:
(a) Moving Expenses: Complete Form 3903, Moving Expenses, and attach to the return.
(b) Employee Business Expenses: Complete Form 2106, Employee Business Expenses, or Form 2106-EZ, Unreimbursed Employee Business Expenses, and attach to the return. This section does not apply to club dues, or to travel expenses for any non-employee accompanying the taxpayer on the trip.
(c) Fuels Credit: Complete Form 4136, Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels, and attach to the return.
(d) Investment Credit: Complete Form 3468, Investment Credit, and attach to the return.
This revenue procedure applies to any return filed on a 2005 tax form for a taxable year beginning in 2005, and to any return filed on a 2005 tax form in 2006 for a short taxable year beginning in 2006.
The principal author of this revenue procedure is John Moran of the Office of the Associate Chief Counsel, Procedure & Administration (Administrative Provisions & Judicial Practice Division). For further information regarding this revenue procedure, contact Branch 2 of the Administrative Provisions & Judicial Practice Division at (202) 622-4940 (not a toll-free call).

Many people are making donations for breast cancer research, with October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Local businesses and organizations have been a part of the trend, soliciting monetary donations, as well as marketing products and services in support of finding a cure to this disease, said Dottie Callina, spokeswoman for local Better Business Bureau (BBB).
"To avoid being misled, or even scammed, the BBB is encouraging consumers to look for companies that disclose a charity name, the amount of a sale going to the charity, the duration of marketing campaigns and, if applicable, the maximum or minimum contribution amount," she said.
The company should share its ultimate contribution goal, and what portion of the purchases will go toward the charity, she continued.
Potential donors, she said, must ask the right questions when giving to any cause.
It is recommended that consumers research the charity with the BBB, said Callina. The BBB provides reviews of charities through its charity report –– even unfamiliar ones –– at : www.bbb.org/us/charity.
The BBB also provides consumers a list of accredited charities, she said.
If a business claims that a percentage of a product or service purchased will go toward a charity, the consumer must identify the charity, she advised.
"Confirm the charity's corporate partners," said Callina. "Many national breast cancer charities list the names of corporate partners and sponsors on their [web sites]."
She added that the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month organization doesn't solicit contributions, and has not authorized the use of its name for solicitation purposes.
The organization is a partnership comprised of national public service organizations, professional medical associations and government agencies, according to its web site, www.nbcam.org.
"Be wary of appeals that are long on emotion, but short on describing what the charity does," she warned.
Consumers who decide to donate should not use cash as a form of payment, said Callina. Use a check or money order and make it out to the charity, and not to the individual collecting the donations. A credit card is also another way one can execute a monetary donation, she said.
"Watch out for excessive pressure for on-the-spot donations," said the spokeswoman. "Be wary of any requests to send a runner to pick up your donation."
Consumers should take it as a warning, if a charity is unwilling to answer questions regarding its operations, finances and programs, she said. People also have the right to ask how much of their monetary donation will be used for activity explained in the appeal, and how much of it will be used for other programs, as well as administrative and fund-raising costs, she said.
