    2008-07-02 10:03:03
    Today the NEFA Foundation published a paper I wrote on the overall weakening of the FARC in Colombia and the likely options for its future development. The new paper, "The FARC in Transition: The Fatal Weakening of the Hemisphere's Oldest Guerrilla Movement," is a followup to one I did analyzing the publicly released documents taken from the computer of the FARC's second in command, Raul Reyes, killed by Colombian troops in raid into neighboring Ecuador.

    MS on Symbian Foundation!
    2008-07-02 01:26:40
    StoryFor the most part, analysts have given their thumbs up on the news of the creation of the Symbian Foundation, seeing it as a positive for both Nokia and the industry, and a competitive threat to Android, LiMo and Microsoft The analysts at Strategy Analytics, for example, expected this development to lead to less platform fragmentation across the industry, with Symbian becoming a global standardized operating system with a unified user-interface. This will lead to reduced development times for vendors, lower handset prices, more and speedier innovation, and an expanded global smartphone market. Funny to hear that Microsoft is warning the public that an open-source model will lead to fragmentation for Symbian. "They're opening themselves up to some of the same challenges of all open source projects," said Scott Rockfeld, group product manager for Microsoft's Mobile Communications Business. The Microsoft executive points to the various splintered Linux versions and groups that exis

    REVIEW :: Urban Decay Surreal Skin Mineral Makeup Foundation
    2008-06-26 06:23:30
    So if you have been keeping up with my past entries, you know how I feel about the whole mineral makeup hype; and yes I am probably the only gal in the beauty world who hadn't found mineral makeup glory. So I have officially begun my quest for THE perfect mineral makeup, but my expectations are pretty high, so I anticipate this journey to end up on a very long road; as I am ready for many disappointments, like the one I had recently.Urban Decay is a line that I love. I find them so fun and vibrant, not to mention that they are a permanent resident in my holy grail hall of fame with their Eyeshadow Primer Potion , and honestly while I haven't tried too many items besides their eye makeup; I really have yet to encounter a disappointment with them. Naturally of course, when I first heard about their Surreal Skin Mineral Makeup I was intrigued, but when I heard that it reached its glory status by winning a 'Best of Sephora' award I was REALLY intrigued. However being stuck on my usual M.A.

    Connecting A Gutter Downspout to Foundation Drain
    2008-06-25 20:55:53
    Recently I had gutters put on our garage. When we built the house I only had them put on the main house to help save some money.In the photo you can see two down spouts coming down from the gutters. The one on the left comes from the house and was installed a couple years ago. I had it connected to the foundation drain so that the water can be directed out away from the house. The one on the right is the new down spout from the garage. As you can see it's not connected to the foundation drain.The first time we had a big thunderstorm this summer I realized I had a big problem on my hands. When I walked out onto the porch I could see about 3 inches of water pooled up where the hose is sitting. One of the big reason I put gutters up was to get the water away from the house. So obviously I needed to connect the new gutters to the foundation drains.So I decided to dig up the existing foundation drain, install a tee and connect the new garage down spout. Before I go too far some people may b

    Tax Foundation Testifies before Congress on Physical Presence for Business Taxation
    2008-06-23 23:00:00
    In testimony submitted today to the Commercial and Administrative Law Subcommittee of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, Tax Foundation Tax Counsel Joseph Henchman outlined the importance of a consistent and predictable presence-based standard for business taxation."Today, with new technologies, even the smallest businesses can sell their products and services in all fifty states through the Internet and through the mail," Henchman wrote in his testimony. "If such sales can now expose these businesses to tax compliance and liability risks in states where they merely have customers, they will be less likely to expand their reach into those states."The Tax Foundation testimony made two primary points: (1) the physical presence standard limits destructive and likely unconstitutional state efforts to export tax burdens, efforts that stifle interstate commerce and harm economic growth; and (2) a uniform physical presence standard would decrease transaction costs for int

    Tax Humor: New Tax Foundation YouTube Video

    Why is it so difficult to enact meaningful tax reform? It would take us all day to write a comprehensive answer to that question, but if you're searching for a quick, amusing answer, take a look at our new video on YouTube, "Takin' on the Tax Code." The video pokes fun at some of the special interests that create roadblocks to tax reform. In addition to injecting some laughter into the tax debates, this video should get everyone thinking seriously about the obstacles to fundamental reform and what needs to be done to keep the tax reform movement on track.Click here or below to watch the video.

    New Tax Foundation Study Analyzes New York Property Tax Reform Proposal
    2008-06-10 23:00:00
    Across the country people are upset about property taxes, and New York is no exception. In fact, New York State has some of the highest property taxes in the nation. But it looks like there might soon be some improvements to the state's property tax system. A new Tax Foundation Fiscal Fact analyzes the recommendations in a report recently issued by the New York State Commission on Property Tax Relief. The bipartisan panel was established last year by Governor Eliot Spitzer to propose solutions to rein in ballooning property taxes while maintaining the state's commitment to public education. Here's an excerpt from the Fiscal Fact, "Sound Tax Policy Coming to New York (?)," by Josh Barro:We've only preliminarily reviewed the Commission's report, but on balance it appears to contain a good set of recommendations. The proposals appear to improve an existing property tax rebate program that rewards school districts for raising taxes; provide a meaningful cap on property tax levies

    Big Buck Bunny - Free Open Film From The Blender Foundation
    2008-05-31 16:25:36
    Big Buck Bunny is an animated film created using Blender, and was released by the Peach open source animation project under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license. The film is a follow-up to the much downloaded "Elephants Dream," and was sponsored by the Blender Foundation, the initiators of both the open source projects. The hyper violent storyline of the film revolves around Big Buck Bunny, a good natured, obese "wabbit," who is harassed by three, pesky  rodents. The film has a  less-than-subtle nod to some of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s action scenes in the first Predator movie. You can download the movie in various file formats (including full HD with 5.1 channel sound), for absolutely free. Or you can watch it online right here.

    Blair launches his faith foundation
    2008-05-30 19:08:22
    Tony Blair, now a Roman Catholic, is still, to my mind, a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde character. That may sound terribly uncharitable and even downright unChristian, but I do think he has a few "issues" to confront. As an Anglican, apparently of the High Church tendency, he never really gave much support to Catholic issues. His ambivalence on homosexuality, abortion, and general moral matters seemed paramount in the New Labour pantheon. His wife, Cherie, and his children are all Roman Catholics. However, Blair thought it inappropriate to convert to Rome whilst Prime Minister. I cannot think why. Maybe he was under excruciating pressure from the secularists in the party, who are a bedevilment of control freakery. Maybe he felt the British public would rise up against him with Cromwellian fervour, seeking his head on a plate. I may find his politics unsavoury, but I do think Blair has his moral compass in the right direction. He's just a bit hazy with the pointing skills.His new organisatio

    Tax Foundation Urges North Carolina Supreme Court to Hold that Lottery Is a Tax
    2008-05-20 23:00:00
    On Monday the Tax Foundation filed friend-of-the-court brief with the North Carolina Supreme Court in Heatherly v. State, urging the court to reverse a lower court ruling and hold that the North Carolina Education Lottery generates tax revenue, not "profits."35 percent of lottery revenues is dedicated to general state spending, equivalent to a 35-percent tax on the sale of each lottery ticket. If that revenue is found to be a tax under the meaning of North Carolina law, then the lottery's enactment in 2005 did not meet the basic state constitutional requirements for enacting tax law.According to the Tax Foundation brief, the lottery revenue meets all three tests for defining a tax. Current U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer laid out the criteria for defining a tax when he decided the San Juan Cellular case for the First Circuit Court of Appeals in 1992. Breyer argued that a judge should consider who imposes the assessment, who pays the assessment, and what the revenue

    Dynasty 1, Foundation the kingdom
    2008-05-13 13:23:00
    The Two Lands were finally united by a pharaoh whom Manetho calls Menes. Two archaeologically attested pharaohs have been considered likely candidates for Menes: Horus Narmer and his son, Horus Aha. Early EgyptologistsNarmer. felt Narmer was the unifier; then for some time the evidence pointed more strongly at Aha. In recent years, the balance of the evidence seems to be swinging back to The excavations at Nekhen yielded an object made of green schist, usually described as a “palette”, inscribed for Narmer. The palette depicts the king, wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt, striking down a foe, and then wearing the Red Crown of Lower Egypt in a parade, reviewing the captives and booty taken in his conquest. A mace-head of Narmer’s was also found with hieroglyphs indicating that 120,000 men and 400,000 oxen were captured. Furthermore, a mysterious figure near Narmer might represent the princess of Lower Egypt, Neithhotep, whom Narmer married to solidify his position, though

    NEFA Foundation: Al-Qaida Reports "Martyrdom" of Senior Saudi Terrorist Abu Sulaiman al-Otaibi in Afghanistan

    Tax Foundation Cigarette Tax Op-Ed in Wall Street Journal
    2008-05-06 23:00:00
    An op-ed by Tax Foundation chief economist Patrick Fleenor appeared in the Wall Street Journal today. The op-ed, "Cigarette Taxes Are Fueling Organized Crime," discusses the damage inflicted on society by high cigarette taxes, which often cause consumers to turn to the black market. The amount of criminal activity related to cigarette taxes is staggering, as Fleenor explains:While the problem first surfaced during the Great Depression, tax hikes in the early 1960s created a major profit opportunity for smugglers and kicked the epidemic into high gear. By 1967, a quarter of the cigarettes consumed in the Empire State were bootlegged. New York City's finance administrator labeled cigarette smuggling the "principal stoking facility of the engine of organized crime."Crime rapidly spread beyond New York's borders, as trucks carrying cigarettes across the country were hijacked and businesses selling them robbed to supply New York's black market. In 1972, the cha

While in prison, jihadists have caused officials fits by radicalizing fellow inmates, planning jailbreaks, distributing propaganda to associates, continuing to exercise operational control over their organizations, and plotting attacks.

    Tax Foundation Files Brief to Ensure Uniform Application of Tax Code and Prevent Harm to Taxpayers
    2008-04-28 23:00:00
    In May, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether to hear the case of Centerior Energy Corp. v. Mikulski, an appeal from a lower court decision opening the door to fragmented state-by-state interpretations of the U.S. tax code. The Tax Foundation has filed a friend of the court brief urging the Court to take the case, which raises the question of whether taxes paid to the government can be recovered from a business instead of from the IRS.Like many taxpayers, Centerior Energy Corp. was confronted with applying complex tax laws to its individual situation. The tax law in question, 26 U.S.C. § 7422, was left ambiguous by Congress, which had expected the IRS to issue further regulations. Since the IRS never did, Centerior and other taxpayers had to choose between two conflicting, but equally plausible, interpretations. The plaintiffs in this case (the Mikulskis) allege that Centerior chose wrongly, and as a result, caused them to overpay their income taxes. The lower court agreed, s

    REVIEW : M.A.C Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation (Loose) - Am I The Only One NOT RAVING About It???
    2008-04-25 12:09:00
    I probably feel like the only person in the beauty world who has not hopped on the mineral makeup bandwagon. Yes I hear great things about it and how amazing its supposed to be for your skin and I keep hearing raves about certain companies that are supposed to be phenomenal, but something in me is hesitant and wants to continue to go the eh, lets say... 'traditional' route. Perhaps I am just being vain (and forgive me if I am!) but maybe I would just seriously feel better about trying it out if one of the higher end lines would release a mineral makeup line. So when M.A.C. launched the Mineralized loose powder I was immediately intrigued. I missed the limited MSF collection and now the shades that they have available (both regular and natural) don't match my skin tone at all so this is something that I immediately began eyeing from the day it hit Nordstrom's website.Not too many people have reviewed this product and the reviews that I have seen have been mixed, but certainly nothing t

    Makeup Tips - Foundation and Concealer
    2008-04-20 22:17:50
    Beauty is one of our prime pursuits as we go about our daily lives. The society we live in places a lot of emphasis on our looks. How we look greatly determines how the society around us will consider us. We subconsciously draw conclusions about individuals within the first one minute, often before anything has been said. Within this one minute, you will have decided whether the person is nice, has money, his social status, whether you may like him; among numerous other things. We can therefore not afford to neglect our looks. An important tool to enhancing our beauty is makeup. Makeup will enhance our strengths and will also cover those embarrassing blemishes we don't want seen in public. However, incorrectly applied make up can lead to embarrassment. It is therefore wise to learn the correct way of applying makeup. The following beauty tips explain the process of applying the foundation and concealer.Beauty tip number one is that when you decide to apply makeup, you must first carry

    Tax Foundation Urges a Stop to South Dakota's Discriminatory Insurance Taxes
    2008-04-15 23:00:00
    The Tax Foundation, in a friend-of-the-court brief filed with the South Dakota Supreme Court, urges that state to stop its discriminatory insurance tax system that taxes out-of-state companies at twice the rate of in-state companies. The case, Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. v. Kinsman, is currently before the court on a petition for rehearing. Since explicit discrimination in rates was struck down as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1985, South Dakota is one of 8 remaining states that seek to protect their domestic insurance companies by imposing heavier taxes on out-of-state companies doing business in the state. While on paper all companies pay the same 2.5% rate, in-state companies automatically receive rate reductions, lowering their tax bill to 0.75% to 1.25%. The result is effective discrimination against out-of-state companies which violates the Equal Protection Clause, as the trial judge concluded.While the trial judg

Also, the computers were not initially programmed to transmit the large amounts of data necessary.Many years ago I managed one of those big box retail bookstores. One of the many difficult parts of that job was a required annual inventory. The company I worked for contracted this job out as being too time consuming and important for the employees to take care of. So one night every year this company would come into our store and count everything. In order for this to work properly a select group of my own employees would have to stay to supervise the workers. One might ask why I needed my own workers there, often late at night.

    New Tax Foundation Study Shows Half of U.S. States Tax Businesses More Heavily than Any Other Nation Does
    2008-03-18 00:00:00
    A new Tax Foundation Fiscal Fact shows that half of U.S. states tax job providers at a higher rate than any other country in the developed world. Counting the federal rate alone, the U.S. has the world's highest corporate tax rate, but including average sub-national rates (federal plus state in the U.S.), Japan edges out the U.S. for the highest-tax location.This study breaks the tax down by state, adding each state's corporate tax rate to the federal corporate tax rate. The results show that 25 states impose, when combined with the federal rate, a higher business tax rate than in any other nation. In fact:25 states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than top-ranked Japan.35 states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than third-ranked Germany.46 states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than fourth-ranked Canada.All 50 states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than fifth-ranked France.According to Tax Foundation president Scott Hodge, the study's author:This

One really good show, that I enjoyed a lot, but due to us playing a bit later that night, didn't have the focus enough on the "Said The Shark" show.But what they did this thursday, was a bit like what they did there in Hildesheim.

    People Press Play and Blue Foundation...

    After some domestic negotiations, I managed getting Saturday evening off, so I could join a couple of friends at our local venue to experience Blue Foundation live. As usual my hometown showed its appreciation when a lesser-known band drops by, as around 100 persons (we actually tried counting them) showed up. So the band certainly won't come around these parts again any time soon, as there cannot have been much money left for the pension fund. Overall the band delivered a fine concert and the songs work very well when performed live. Afterwards I spoke a few words with Bo of the band, but in my usual ill-mannered way I was more interested in talking to him about him being the 4th member of The William Blakes than the concert he had just been a part of.The big revelation of the evening however was the supporting act People Press Play.

But I did it.Last time I went to the store the pretty boy behind the counter informed me that they didn't carry the tube but only the bottle."Hmm... How much is the bottle?"$52. A big smile from behind the counter pierced right through my wallet.Hmm... Ok... I'll take it.I had nothing left in the tube at home, so I had to buy it.But imagine how I felt.Fifty two dollars...For a foundation that wasn't anything spectacular, really.So on my next trip to the local drugstore, I did something I hadn't done in a while: I browsed the makeup section.I started looking at the different brands and I took
