Tucked into the corner of a quiet speakeasy, Mathias Broohm reminisces over the days when his love for music was just a hobby. After moving from New Carrollton to Frederick in 2000, “I used to be in charge of the music for house parties,” he explains. His eclectic playlists garnered enough support from friends to make the transition into DJing a no-brainer.
After months of practice and sending off mixes for critique from other DJs, Mathias became a mainstay of Frederick nightlife, and in 2011 he took his first gig in D.C. at Spaghetti Garden in Adams Morgan. He hasn’t looked back since.
Inspired by the “anything goes” mentality of some of his DJ peers, like Stereofaith, Spinser Tracy, and Jerome Baker III, Mathias follows suit at his own parties. He can be heard spinning everything from current hip-hop to throwback pop to underground club music for diverse crowds at venues like Rock & Roll Hotel, Velvet Lounge, Marvin, U Street Music Hall, and everywhere in between. But to stand out amongst the crowd, Mathias has a unique sonic signature to make every set memorable. Whether it’s a guilty pleasure or a song long forgotten, “every time I play, I always wanna leave something in your mind,” he says.
While Mathias considers himself “just a guy who plays records,” the long lines to get into his monthly parties say otherwise. He can hardly walk down U Street without dapping up a familiar D.C. party-goer or a fellow DJ.
Mathias attributes his success to networking, meticulous organization, and an unwavering passion for a myriad of musical genres. At just 14, he would go see Junk Yard Band at D.C.’s go-go parties. “My mom would kill me if she knew that,” he laughs. Growing up in a Ghanian household, he also listened to a lot of pop, R&B, and gospel music, as well as hiplife—an African hip-hop/dancehall hybrid that he describes as “very instrumental with a lot of riddims and tribal sounds.”
Whether Mathias is playing grime at U Street Music Hall or moombahton at TROPIXXX—the forward-thinking party he and The Clown Prince inherited—being versatile means being organized. “You never know what you’re gonna be thrown into,” he explains. And as a DJ who is never afraid to break new ground, having a plan B is essential. “If you’re organized, you know you can try something [new], but if nobody’s moving, you can drop another song [you] know they’ll like.”
Five years later, Mathias’ perspective on DJing is still driven by curating playlists for house parties. “I just want people to come out and leave saying ‘I danced all night,'” he says. While breaking new records and exposing D.C.’s club scene to innovative sounds is essential to him, appealing to his audience’s emotions is just as important. “If I can spark a memory, hopefully a good one,” he says, “or if you had that one moment where you were so happy or Shazamed a song, I feel great.”
Mathias Broohm performs tonight at U Street Music Hall with Nadus and Araabmuzik at 10 p.m. $15.

World Bulletin / News Desk
NASA on Saturday successfully launched a spacecraft that will study the interior of Mars.
Data collected by the lander will likely be valuable for charting future human colonization of Earth’s planetary neighbor.
NASA’s Mars Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) mission will help scientists understand how often the planet is rocked by earthquakes and how the temperature changes underneath Mars’ surface. The lander will drill down into the crust of Mars to gather information.
The InSight lander was launched by a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 1105 GMT in Southern California. Launching before dawn local time, the rocket quickly disappeared into fog before heading out above the Earth’s atmosphere.
"This is a big day,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, who took over leadership of the space agency just last month, in a call with mission scientists. “We're going back to Mars. This is an extraordinary mission with a whole host of firsts.”
If the 483-million kilometer (300-million mile) trip to Mars goes smoothly, the InSight probe will arrive in the red planet in about six months and join five other NASA spacecraft studying Mars.
As part of its two-year mission, the 358-kilogram (790-pound) lander will burrow instruments several meters deep into the Martian crust to check the “vital signs” of the planet, according to NASA. It will be the first time scientists collect direct evidence from deep below the Martian surface.
“We’ve received positive indication the InSight spacecraft is in good health and we are all excited to be going to Mars once again to do groundbreaking science,” Tom Hoffman, the project manager for the InSight mission, said in a statement.
The probe is expected to reach Mars on Nov. 26 and conduct experiments until November 2020.

This was in the news recently: Quran in hotel rooms soon. Excerpts:
A copy of the Quran and its intepretation will be made available in most hotel rooms in the country to allow both Muslims and non-Muslims to have “access” to the Holy book.
Ahmad Zahid said Jakim would be printing another 50,000 copies of the Quran’s interpretation for the purpose, costing some RM1.3mil, adding these books were in English to cater to foreign visitors and tourists.
50,000 copies. RM1.3 million. RM26 per Quran. Jakim is the Department of Islamic Development, Malaysia. It’s a Malaysian Government institution.
Now, if you’re in a 3-star hotel or above, you’re getting a Quran, courtesy of the Malaysian Government. Courtesy of your tax payer ringgit. I think there’s better ways to spend RM1.3 million of money from the rakyat – let’s feed and shelter the homeless, for a start.
Another healthy way the government of the day, is spending your hard earned tax ringgit!
Update: @nazroll tells me that this comes out of zakat payments, that only Muslims pay. I still believe there are better ways to spend zakat payments, but I don’t run the country, now do I? Zakat from the Malaysian government or Zakat via Wikipedia… Wikipedia describes zakat as “alms for the poor” – I don’t know how accurate that is, but if you’re staying in a 3-star hotel and above, you aren’t exactly poor ;)
Next up, time to read up on Islamic Banking/Economics. Looks like an interesting topic! (I mean I’m bombarded with signs about it, let’s see how it compares with regular banking)
Update 2: There was active chatter on Twitter! @ditesh tells us that the zakat is a tax credit, and Wikipedia explains the taxation behind it. @nazroll continues to tell us that development is OK, and people are curious to know how the money is spent, and it is available upon request. Lots worry about accountability, and @nazroll hits it spot on.

While stem cells can be found in most tissues of the body, they are usually buried deep, are few in number and are similar in appearance to surrounding cells. With the discovery of stem cells in teeth, an accessible and available source of stem cells has been identified.
Dental stem cells have significant benefits in the development of new medical therapies to treat a range of diseases contemporary medicine currently deems difficult or impossible to treat. Among them are:
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Brain Injuries
- Heart Disease
- Muscular dystrophy
- Crohn’s disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Periodontal Disease
- Sports Injuries
- Cosmetic and Anti-aging Applications
The tooth is nature’s “safe” for these valuable stem cells, and there is an abundance of these cells in baby teeth, wisdom teeth and permanent teeth. The stem cells contained within teeth are capable of replicating themselves and can be readily recovered at the time of a planned dental procedure. Living stem cells found within extracted teeth were routinely discarded every day, but now, with the knowledge from recent medical research, your Doctor provides you the opportunity to save these cells for future use in developing medical treatments for your family.
Aside from being the most convenient stem cells to access, the stem cells from teeth have been observed in research studies to be among the most powerful stem cells in the human body. Stem cells from teeth replicate at a faster rate and for a longer period of time than do stem cells harvested from other tissues of the body.
Stem cells in the human body age over time and their regenerative abilities slow down later in life. The earlier in life that your family’s stem cells are secured, the more valuable they will be when they are needed most.
Frequently Asked Questions about Stem Cell Recovery and Cryopreservation from Teeth
Why should someone recover and cryopreserve their own stem cells from teeth?
Healthy dental pulp contains stem cells that are among the most powerful stem cells in the body and replicate at a faster rate and for a longer period of time than other types of stem cells. Stem cells from teeth show great promise for future regenerative medical treatments of neurodegenerative diseases, heart disease, diabetes, bone diseases and brain and nerve injuries.
Which teeth are candidates for stem cell recovery and cryopreservation?
Any extracted tooth with a healthy pulp contains stem cells. Wisdom teeth, baby teeth and other permanent teeth i.e. healthy teeth that are fractured and teeth recommended for extraction for orthodontic purposes are all candidates for stem cell recovery and cryopreservation.
At what age am I no longer eligible to recover and preserve stem cells from teeth?
Age does not seem to play a major factor. All extracted healthy teeth contain stem cells. The younger you are then the younger the cells and these may be more beneficial in future regenerative therapies.
Is one tooth enough or should I try to bank as many teeth as I can as the opportunities arise. I banked deciduous teeth, should I bank third molars?
Diseases of different severity or tissue defects of different size will undoubtedly require different amounts of stem cells to heal. Conceptually, the more teeth are banked, the greater the potential for sufficient stem cells to treat various diseases.

In the Anishnabe language, Kebaouek means “at the narrows beyond which more water opens out”. Local elders say the term applies to all of Lake Kipawa, and refers to its many hidden arms and bays. What is now called the Kipawa River, runs through much of the traditional territory of what are now the Wolf Lake and Eagle Village First Nations. From its head waters at Matawashkwia Sagahigan (Grassy Lake), the river flows westward Mahingan Sagahigan (Wolf Lake), then southward through Minitigagook Sagahigan (Brennan Lake or Lac Sairs) and westward to Lake Kipawa..
According to the Elders, however, only the final stretch of water leading to Lake Temiscaming can properly be called the Kipawa River. The other sections have many different names. For example, the stretch from Grassey Lake to Watson Lake is called Matawashkwia sipi. And the long stretch from Wolf Lake to Lac Sairs is called Witigowiak sipi.
Along this river route are the rema\ins of numerous abandoned logging camps from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, complete with stump and rusting machinery. The red and white pine of the Kipawa region were among the last of the great forests of the Ottawa Valley to be cut over, and they provided lucrative returns for many decades to lumber merchants from Pembroke, Renfrew and Ottawa.

“A change is as nice as a holiday,” as the adage goes. This is true, and merely giving your property a fresh coat of paint will make it feel virtually brand new.
The first rule of colour selection is that there are none! There will be a lot of information regarding what colours work and where they work best. This is only counsel, to then you should listen but are not obligated to act. It is more crucial to select colours and colour combinations that you enjoy and can live with.
Bedroom Colors: You may choose from a variety of bedroom paint colour schemes such as cream, mauve-pink, apricot, and ochre, among others. The question in picking bedroom paint colours, however, is what specific combination would provide the best effects. Only when you correctly pick the colour mixture that provides the greatest painting effects will you receive the best results.
Paint textures have also take centre stage with bedroom paint. With a few simple tools, you can create unique Walls over fireplaces, where you may hang a sculpture or picture to highlight a focal point in the space. When it comes to bedroom paint treatments, another trick is to paint a divider, also known as a dado rail, around the room at roughly 900mm in height. This effect may separate two colours if desired, or it can just make the roof appear higher, creating the sense of space and making the bedroom appear lighter and larger.
Pink is the most popular colour, but it is also the image chosen for a girl’s bedroom. Blue is a popular colour for boys’ bedrooms. Green and yellow are both very attractive colours.
However, it is recommended to mix such colours with others so that each wall in the room has a distinct tone. This creates a stunning appearance in the surroundings.
When choosing bedroom paint colours, keep the size of your bedroom area in mind. If you use colours that make a small space look smaller, you will not obtain the desired effect. Look into as many different bedroom paint colours as you can to get one that is perfect for you. In this manner, you may be certain of receiving satisfactory results while painting your bedroom.
It’s no surprise that colours may influence one’s emotions. Consider the vibe you want to create in each space. There are roughly three distinct colour groupings, each with its unique influence on mood. Cool combination colours, such as blues and greens, are thought to be more relaxing.
Warm colour schemes, such as reds and yellows, give a room a warm, vibrant atmosphere – a place to visit.
Beige, grey, and taupe are examples of middle colours (earth tones). These are neutral colours that may be used to complement the warm or cold tones of carpets and furniture.
Shade and tint may also alter the appearance of wall colours. A dark blue will have a considerably different effect on a room than a light blue.
No matter how much you understand about paint colours, determining which hues would work best will always be tough. Look about, pop your head in the next time you’re at the neighbours’ house, and chat to your friends and relatives. Everything you do will assist you in making a decision.

Federal Government Considers PFAS
May 16, 2019
We are enormously proud of all of the amazing work that states have been doing to combat PFAS contamination. From banning PFAS in firefighting foam and food packaging to crafting protective maximum contaminant levels for drinking water, states are on the forefront of protecting the public from these dangerous toxic chemicals. To complement these efforts, the Federal government has recognized the urgency of the nonstick nightmare, and we have seen several pieces in play this year.
Yesterday, more than 20 motivated activists and community members from across the country made their way to Washington D.C. to meet with Congressional representatives to talk about turning off the tap on PFAS. In around 100 meetings, the groups educated lawmakers about the specifics of contamination and urged them to support certain Federal policies that would bolster state efforts. The coordinated endeavor was heartening as many lawmakers recognized the importance of addressing the PFAS crisis and expressed interest in supporting policies to tackle the PFAS problem nationally while allowing states the flexibility they need to respond to localized contamination.
One of the major challenges of the PFAS pollution problem is lack of complete data on where releases are occurring and how widespread contamination is. A couple of introduced bi-partisan Federal policies aim to help answer those questions. The PFAS Right-to-Know Act would add PFAS to the Toxics Release Inventory, requiring certain manufacturers and producers of PFAS to report their usage of the chemicals to the EPA, which would then be made publically available. This data will be hugely helpful as it will give us a much better understanding of where pollution is coming from, allowing better targeted prevention and cleanup efforts.
In a similar vein, the PFAS Detection Act of 2019 would authorize the U.S. Geological Survey to test surface and groundwater for PFAS, focusing on sites likely to be contaminated. Before communities can tackle PFAS clean-up, it is essential to know where to direct those efforts.
Another policy aims to help states with clean-up efforts by designating PFAS as hazardous substances under US Superfund law. The bi-partisan PFAS Action Act of 2019 requires the EPA administrator to designate the whole class of PFAS chemicals as hazardous under the 1980 CERCLA law, which means they would be eligible for cleanup using existing authority. Given the huge scope of PFAS contamination, this step would help alleviate the pressure on states to fund their own cleanup by providing assistance from the Federal government.
At the same time as activists were meeting with Congressional staff, the Environment and Climate Change subcommittee in the House held a hearing on 13 PFAS policies, including the three above. Other proposals included a ban on PFAS waste incineration and a program to provide grants to communities to install treatment technologies for PFAS in drinking water. Coinciding with the day of action was perfect as it allowed state activists a chance to encourage support of the best policies and answer member questions. Testimony from Emily Marpe, a mother from New York whose drinking water is contaminated with PFAS, powerfully made the case for regulation: “Human health should come first...The solutions are there. No family should go through what we've gone through. Nobody.”
Debate emerged over regulating all ~5,000 PFAS as a class. Some lawmakers recognized the risks of all PFAS and argued for stopping pollution at its source while others balked at the idea, favoring a slower approach that evaluates handfuls of chemicals. Nevertheless, the hearing was a good step forward as it opens the doors for further discussion on this critical issue.
States are at the forefront of protective PFAS policies, with bans on PFAS in food packaging and firefighting foam in Washington, penalties for contaminating water supplies in Vermont, and drinking water standards in several states passing last year. The Federal government has a major role to play too, and we are encouraged by the recent activity in Washington D.C.!
The Federal government has recognized the urgency of the nonstick nightmare, and we have seen several pieces in play this year.

Through Jim’s travels and connections in Peru over the past many years, he became aware of indigenous photographer Martin Chambi. Chambi has an amazing story: he was born in 1891 into a Quechua-speaking peasant family in one of the poorest regions of Peru. When his father went to work at a gold mine on a small tributary in a nearby province, Chambi went along and happened to learn the rudiments of photography from the mine photographer. This encounter sparked an interest in photography for him that led him to move to Arequipa in 1908 and serve as an apprentice in the studio of Max T. Vargas, and then to eventually establish his own studio in 1917.
Jim became aware that members of Chambi’s family are maintaining an archive of Chambi’s work in Cusco and has made a few attempts over the years at trying to contact the administrator of the archive, Chambi’s grandson Teo Chambi. On this trip, we were fortunate that Teo Chambi was in town and available and we were able to go and meet with him, hear stories of his grandfather’s life and experience as a photographer, and see the amazing trove of items that are being preserved.
If you’ve traveled in or read about Peru, particularly the Cusco region, you’ve probably seen at least one of Chambi’s photographs at one point or another. He was a pioneer in the subject matter of the people and landscapes of the Cusco region; many of his photographs of indigenous people and the Inca ruins throughout the Sacred Valley, including Machu Picchu, were the first of their kind that many had seen.
What makes his work all the more impressive (at least to a photography novice like me) is that at the time he began his career, photography was a newer art (or science) involving glass plates, chemicals (like nitric acid), and lots of other heavy equipment. For example, when Chambi visited a site like Machu Picchu, we would have with him a maximum of 30 glass plates for 30 photographs; very different than how we approach photography today with our digital cameras and iPhones, taking as many pictures as we want and deleting the ones we don’t like. He would have had 30 chances to get the ‘right’ shot. Such a different approach at such a different time. From his work, it’s evident that 30 was plenty, but amazing to think about the time and preparation that probably went into each shot when such a limited number were available. What has also struck me looking at his work is that despite how much set-up and preparation may have been involved, many of his subjects and the subject matter still seem to be captured in their natural state. Even in the posed, formal shots, he captures so much of the spirit and character of his subjects. His body of work is beautiful, and definitely work looking into (much is available on the archive website) if you are interested in Peru and the Cusco region.
Our visit to the archive wasn’t something the kids would put at the top of their favorites list, but even for the first 45 minutes of the 1 1/2 meeting, they were very busy looking through the books featuring his work and the examples around the studio. Very fun and interesting to get off the beaten tourist track (even a little further!) and get introduced to and more familiar with such an amazing artist.
This is a photograph of Martin Chambi, his wife, and their 6 children, including our host’s mom, second from the right in the checkered dress.

The archive meeting room, and coffee table FILLED with wonderful books of Chambi’s and other artists’ work:
We even got to pose against a re-creation of the backdrop that was used in many of Chambi’s studio portraits:
There will be an exhibition of Chambi’s work at the SF Moma in 2017, so Bay Area friends can see his work firsthand.
So many unique adventures in such a relatively short trip! We’re feeling very fortunate (and sometimes tired!) and excited to come home soon and share more tales of our travels with everyone in person.
Tchau for now!
All of us!

Since Patagonia founder Yvon Choinard began his outdoor outfitting business’ first foray into environmentalism with the introduction of his reusable aluminium climbing chocks, designed specifically to prevent damage to pristine rockfaces (known as “clean climbing”), Patagonia has been at the forefront of producing environmentally-friendly and eco-conscious products.
Patagonia’s second major leap forward as an environmentally conscious business was in 1993 when the company began producing its first line of fleece made from recycled plastic bottles that were once destined for thousands of years of degradation in a landfill. Today, Patagonia is a certified B-Corporation with the mission of building great products that cause no unnecessary harm all while using the business to develop solutions to the ongoing environmental crisis. Recognized around the world for its commitment to authentic product quality and environmental activism, Patagonia has contributed nearly $80 million dollars in environmental grants and donations.
And now, Patagonia is going even further with the announcement of their fall 2016 “re\\\collection,” a line of down jackets, shirts, sweatshirts, and pants made with 100 percent recycled down, 100 percent recycled wool, 100 percent recycled polyester, 80 percent recycled zippers, and 50 percent recycled buttons.
Patagonia’s Creative Director of Product Design, Miles Johnson, says of the new collection, “From the insulation to the outer materials—all the way down to the buttons and drawcords—this collection is an experiment in creativity and responsibility.”
It’s also an experiment in streamlining down clothing so that each piece is not only warm, but slim with a stylish silhouette. You won’t look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man with this collection, especially in the v-neck pullover ($149) or reversible vest ($179).
The collection also features a down shirt ($199), a down shirt jacket ($199), and most amazingly of all, waffle-cut down pants ($149), which may take the top prize for most amazing lounge-pants ever. If you like your legs feeling like they’re tumbling around in a warm cloud, these are your pants.
Filled with 100 percent Patagonia Recycled Down (a mix of 600-fill-power goose and duck down) reclaimed from used items, the re\\\collection boasts identical performance benefits as virgin down, with none of the negative environmental impacts. As Patagonia says, “By plucking some of [our] down (and associated fabrics) from the trash, Patagonia is reducing discards and helping to grow and add value to a recycling stream.”
“We have to take responsibility for what we make, from birth to death and then beyond death, back to rebirth.” Yvon Choinard, Patagonia founder and owner writes in his book Let My People Go Surfing. With Patagonia’s new recycle-focused re\\\collection, that ethos is obvious.


text: Sub Pop have a promising new signee on their roster with Rose Windows, a 7-piece Seattle band led by songwriter Chris Cheveyo and — of particular note on this track — vocalist Rabia Qazi. Potential influences abound on “Wartime Lovers,” from ’60s psych-rock on its sleeve to traditional folk and eastern music woven in the stitches. Qazi even closes with a dramatic Goldfinger-tinged run in the final notes. It speaks to the septet’s singular, hippie vision that they’ve culled this all together seamlessly, not to mention found the most inspired place for a solo flute since Michael Kiwanuka’s “Tell Me a Tale.” Hear it above. Their full-length debut, The Sun Dogs, is due on June 25th.

Decentralized supply chains with competing retailers under demand uncertainty
Coauthor(s): Fernando Bernstein.
Adobe Acrobat PDF
In this paper, we investigate the equilibrium behavior of decentralized supply chains with competing retailers under demand uncertainty. We also design contractual arrangements between the parties that allow the decentralized chain to perform as well as a centralized one. We address these questions in the context of two-echelon supply chains with a single supplier servicing a network of (competing) retailers, considering the following general model: Retailers face random demands, the distribution of which may depend only on its own retail price (noncompeting retailers) or on its own price as well as those of the other retailers (competing retailers), according to general stochastic demand functions.

Danish label printer Scanket A/S recently installed their second MPS UV flexo press to accommodate production growth of self-adhesive labels in their Birkerod, Denmark facility.
DIDAM, The Netherlands – MPS today announced an increased presence in Denmark with the successful installation of a Scanket's second MPS UV flexo press. Nearly one year since the installation of their first MPS press, Scanket purchased a second EF UV flexo multi-substrate MPS press to accommodate an increased production demand of self-adhesive labels. This press marks the fifth MPS press installed in Denmark over the last 12 months.
The newly installed EF-UV flexo press with 8 colour UV print stations and a web width of 420mm includes the APC advanced package with double servo positioning motors for the positioning of both the print sleeves and material thickness settings.

Built with register and control systems, job memory, NPC (Nonstop Print Change) and MPS technology that controls print lengths, the new EF UV flexo press enables Scanket to run print jobs at an ideal production speed, guaranteeing optimal print quality and productivity.
Martin Fundal, managing director of Scanket said: "The need for a second UV flexo press was to accommodate increased production and new markets generated from our initial MPS UV flexo press investment. We simply needed to replicate the stability and high-performance provided by our first MPS press in our production expansion. We are very happy with the new capabilities and opportunities that these presses have brought us."

April 15? Piece of cake, as far as the Internal Revenue Service in Chicago is concerned. Friday is the Cubs` home opener, so nobody will be home working on taxes or calling the IRS with questions.
To the IRS, the big crunch is right now, Cubs notwithstanding.
``Monday is always the busiest day of the week`` at the IRS, because people have worked on their taxes over the weekend and come up with questions, said IRS spokesman Steve Mongeluzzo. ``The Monday before April 15 is historically the busiest day of the year.``
That means Monday will constitute the peak for this year`s questions, said Virginia Rankin, a taxpayer service representative who answers phone calls. The later in the week that April 15 falls, the less activity is expected. So Friday should be fairly calm, she said.
Especially when Friday is the Cubs` home opener, Mongeluzzo added.
That`s not to say that the IRS and the Illinois Department of Revenue don`t expect plenty of action this week.
The IRS figures that 1.5 million people in the Chicago district, which includes 26 counties in northern Illinois, had not filed as of April 1. Verenda Smith of the Illinois Department of Revenue said that as of last week, only 2.7 million of the expected 4.7 million state returns had been filed.
``So there are 2 million laggards,`` she said.
Those ``laggards`` tend to fall into two categories: People who owe money or people whose returns are complicated.
Tax specialists at major accounting firms say clients are not coming in later, but returns are taking longer to complete, so they are being filed later.
``People are coming to us at about the same time as they did in the past, but they`re not as fully prepared,`` said Dennis Marx, a tax partner at the public accounting firm Ernst & Whinney in Chicago.
``If they had investments in tax shelters or business partnerships or S corporations, that information is being delayed. Tax shelter partnership information is tardy from the partnership itself. It`s not the taxpayer`s fault.``
Even once the preparer gets all the information from the taxpayer, things are running at a slower pace.
``People heard what the law was doing back in 1986,`` Marx said. ``But now they`re having to apply the law to an actual tax return, and it`s taking a long time to make sure you`ve got it right.``
In some cases, the preparers are making only educated guesses as to the right step, said James C. Stephenson, tax partner at the Skokie public accounting firm of Miller, Cooper & Co. Because the 1986 Tax Reform Act was so sweeping, the Treasury Department hasn`t been able to write all the regulations necessary to show how the law will be enforced.
``We do get forced into interpreting without benefit of regulation,`` he said. ``We look at reports of congressional committees that wrote the law. Oftentimes you can find intent in there, and you can follow that.``
Another problem is that computer programs used to compute taxes have changed with the tax law.
``We have had to learn what the computer vendor has done as well as the law,`` Marx said.
Regardless of the reason, ``the amount of time we`re spending on each return has increased almost across the board,`` Stephenson said. ``So that results in increased cost to the client.``
Despite those problems, Mongeluzzo said that tax filings are less than 2 percent behind last year`s pace.
``But the refunds are going out quicker. We`ve already issued 50,000 more refunds this year in the Chicago region than we did this time last year. Processing is having absolutely no problems.``
Illinois has not begun issuing 1987 refunds.
But though things have moved along smoothly, the IRS is prepared for an onslaught of questions. In some cases, solutions are embarrassingly simple.
Lloyd V. Greenfield III, a taxpayer service specialist in the Chicago IRS office, cited his most common bit of advice: ``It`s real helpful if the taxpayers have read the instructions.``
Even if the instructions don`t make the situation clear, they enable a taxpayer to ``phrase the question better,`` he said.
Rankin, the taxpayer service representative, said people often get confused by getting ahead of themselves. ``Take your steps one at a time,``
The most common error the Chicago IRS office is seeing stems from allowable exemptions and standard deductions. This year, taxpayers get both.
``A lot of people are finding it hard to believe that not only can they reduce their income by their exemptions, they get this gift of the standard deduction, and they`re forgetting to do it,`` Greenfield said.
The Illinois Department of Revenue said its most commonly spotted error is senior citizens taking two exemptions instead of one, as they could in the past. That mirrors the change in federal law, where people older than 65 can take only one exemption instead of two under the 1986 tax law.
``That`s a major sore point, it seems, with senior citizens this year,``
said Helen Adorjan, spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Revenue.


Just some precisions: i made some tests.
I used Time machine to restore to the v10.0.2 and Lion 10.7.2. Updating to 10.0.3 gives me the same behavior with Lion 10.7.2 and 10.7.3: no video preview at all, freeze when play button is clicked: totally useless. I have to precize that i use H264 AVCHD file without transcoding.
Does anybody use successfully non-transcoded AVCHD files with 10.0.3? (If yes, i would say that there is an incompatibility between FCP 10.0.3 and my mybookpro mid 2009 9600MGT). Strange as v10.0.2 is working quite well.
I'm having the same problem, just slightly different. My preview window is still intact and plays, but my viewer window is either a black or static screen upon playback and skimming. The audio plays, but the video does not. It's not a problem with any other projects, just this one. My quick fix so far has been to add random effects. This lets me play the video, and edit, but once I change something such as color, it goes back to black or static. Hopefully, someone will know the answer to our problem soon.
FWIW, I seem to be having similar issues. Used 10.0.3 for the first time earlier today (under Snow Leopard, on an 8-core Mac Pro now with 24GB of RAM). Constantly losing video -- audio plays fine. Never seemed to have this problem in 10.0.2. (Lots of other problems, mind you -- just not this one.)
Found I can usually get video back by opening Playback Prefs and making a change (like switching between "use proxy media" and "use original/optimized"), then waiting 2-3 minutes while the orange bar which has now appeared over the ENTIRE timeline -- even though NO changes have been made to the timeline whatsoever -- slowly goes away.
One of the triggers for losing the video in my case seems to be letting the Timeline play through till past the end. And I say "past" the end, because there's now suddenly a weird 2-3 minute void after the final clip of video. No audio, no "gap clips", just a big stretch of nothing. I can't figure out how to get rid of it, and the fade out I'd applied long ago to the last video clip no longer works. When the playhead reaches that transition (or nears the end of the last video clip, even with the transition removed) the video just cuts to black. The audio then ends normally while the playhead just keeps going into this mysterious blank emptiness for almost 3 minutes -- at least that's how much extra black I get when I do an Export of the Project.
Naturally I've tried re-doing the end transition; and have of course made sure there is no media of any kind down at the end of timeline which might be causing this strange empty section. Even tried carefully selecting all the real clips on the Timeline and Copy/Pasting them into a whole new project. No difference. The gap at the end just reappears.
(Meantime, as others have reported, I also experienced loss of parameters on several simple titles in Projects created in 10.0.2 and updated/imported into 10.0.3. Likewise for the irrational re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-rendering. Have not yet had time to test any of this on a newly-created 10.0.3 project, but I really do look forward to the day when the bulk of my work in FCP-X might actually involve editing, with the time spent in trouble-shooting and unpaid beta-testing perhaps reduced to just a few hours a week. A crazy idea, I know -- but I can still dream.)
I just went there, and in my case that's what was already checked and selected. And no separator bar in the list, just three instances of "Cinema HD" and then a fourth option of "Cinema HD w darker 2.2 Gamma". I'm presuming three of those four choices represent various attempts of mine to custom calibrate the display in the distant past.
It's currently set to the third "Cinema HD" option in the list. The path to each of those three (when you mouse over them) is Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/, followed by "HD-42463609.icc" for one of them (which I'm guessing was the pre-installed default), and "HD- +much longer number strings" for the other two (which I'm guessing are profiles I created at some point in time.
The fourth option ("Cinema HD w darker 2.2 Gamma") shows a path beginning with MY Library folder (i.e. "~/Library"), followed by "/ColorSync/Profiles/" and then "Cinema HD w darker 2.2 Gamma.icc".
When I switch between the four different profiles in the list, the differences I can see onscreen in my current work environment are so subtle as to be unnoticeable. So based on what you wrote above, should I try choosing the "Cinema HD" profile with the shortest filepath (the one I'm assuming is the default), and see if it makes any difference to this loss-of-video issue in FCP-X?
BTW, that loss of video issue is now also happening each time I do a Share or Export of any kind. In this scenario, I don't lose the video in FCP's Viewer, but what gets exported (regardless of which output option I've selected) is Audio Only. So after each successful export of Audio&Video -- even though the video for that project still plays in the Viewer, I have to go through the same nonsense of changing my Playback Prefs and and then resetting them (and waiting a couple of minutes for the orange bar to go away), otherwise the NEXT export from that exact same, unchanged timeline will be Audio only -- guaranteed.
Weird, weird, weird.
I tried several exports (one after another, sometimes making changes to the test project in between), and I cannot reproduce your issue of no video on export. I'll experiment some more.
Re ICC profiles. I found this Apple Knowledge Base article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4589
In the release notes for FCP 10.0.1 it says:
- Fixes an issue in which custom ICC color profiles affected the image in the Viewer
Perhaps they've reintroduced that old bug. (As was the case with some titles reverting to their default settings in 10.0.2, for example.) At least we know that this is not a new bug. Later today, I'll send a bug report to Apple and attach the offending ICC profiles. I recommend you do the same.
I am in the same situation. Black viewer/canvas skimming any type of clip. Audio skims. Trying to play means an endless spinning beachball. Tis happened three days ago, after an Apple software update, I suoppose: three items I don't even remember, I thought not so important.
I have a deadline on wednesday and I'm desperate. DigitalRebellion software didn't help. I tried creating another administrator User: Final Cu Pro x 10.0.3 works as usual. Now I'm copying events on an external HD in order to work from as a new user. Sad...
I realize this is an older thread, but I was having the same issue. Everything in FCPX worked BUT playback. If I tried to play a video (event preview, import preview, timeline) it would hang FCPX. I tried to reinstall, trash prefs, etc.
What fixed it? Using a different color profile. I was using my custom profile, switching back to the default profile restored all FCP functionality.
I had worked on a prior project with the same version of FCPX, but an older version of OSX (10.8.1?). Seems it may be a bug reintroduced to 10.8.2 (what I am now using).
Ok, here was the solve that worked for me. I finally gave in and called Apple Care.
They had me create a test log in and launch fcpx through that account. It worked fine that way. (System Preferences>Users&Groups>Unlock the padlock at the bottom>Hit the plus button>Call it "Test" and no password. Log out of your account and into the Test account. Launch FCPX. They also had me go to apple.com/trailers and download a movie trailer to bring in as a test, although during a second test they just had me generate blobs in FCPX to see if things were working.)
Once I was clear in the test log in, I logged back into my main account. Still wasn't working. They had me go into my home, then my "movies" folder. They had me create a "Movies Backup" folder and move everything into there and relaunch. Bingo! Since there were only 3 movies and one other folder, it was easy to pinpoint. There was a folder called "Motion Templates" that I had not been deleting. I was just deleting the final cut events and projects folders. The Motion Templates did have a plug-in, but I saved that file and will reinstall. In the meantime, I trashed the Motion Templates folder and am back in business!

LEAD DISTRIBUTION IN GROUND-LEVEL ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOL OF ZAPORIZHIA CITY
Authors: V.O. Yemelianov, Ye.I. Nasiedkin, A.V. Sachko, І.V. Kuraieva, Т.О. Kоshliakova
Number of views: 10
The results of long-term observations on the geochemical peculiarities of technogenic lead distribution in atmospheric
aerosol of Zaporizhia, as well as in soils, bottom sediments, suspended matter from Dnipro river and substance from wet gas
filters of open-hearth furnaces PJSC Zaporizhstal are presented. The actual material was obtained on the basis of comprehensive field monitoring during 2015-2019. Simultaneous involvement of data on hydrometeorological conditions (seasonality, precipitation, wind speeds, directions and duration) in the study area provided a integral approach to the processing and generalization of research results. A number of peculiarities of sedimentary substance distribution in air, interrelations of its anthropogenic and natural components are defined. Correlations were revealed between lead concentrations changes and aeolian mineral component distribution, seasonality, and a number of other factors. The highest concentration of lead was found in solid aerosol particles accumulated by the sedimentary trap at the monitoring site. It was revealed that the average concentration of investigated element in river suspension of Dnipro exceeds significantly background values, and for soils exceeds more than 3.5 times the permissible norms. At the same time, the fixed form of lead in atmospheric aerosol, in contrast to other environmental objects, loses its domination, giving the way to easily soluble forms, so the evidence of environmental hazard. Monitoring of seasonal patterns of the element distribution in the city air showed excess concentrations in the cold period of the year, which, according to the authors, is due to both meteorological conditions and redistribution of natural and anthropogenic factors that serve the driving force in processes of arriving and conversion of lead in atmosphere during different seasons of the year.

WASHINGTON (AP) An Associated Press-GfK poll finds 86 percent of Americans lack confidence that Democratic President Barack Obama and the Republican Congress can work together to solve the nation s problems.
Approval ratings for the president and Congress are about the same as before the election, with 41 percent approval for Obama and 15 percent for Congress. In general, however, the December poll of 1,010 adults finds the public more frustrated with politics than they were four years ago.
Expectations for the next two years are dim. Most say Obama is likely to prevent Congress from repealing the health care law passed in 2010, while nearly half say the Republicans are likely to block Obama s executive order on immigration. But fewer think either side can enact the policies on their agenda.

Three Quebec pharmacies join project to help abused women call for help
Calls to shelters have dropped but domestic violence is probably on the increase because of the confinement, support organization La Débrouille says.
An organization that provides support for women and children who are the victims of domestic violence has launched a program that allows women trapped with abusers while in social isolation a chance to call out for help — via their local pharmacy.
Marie Beauchesne, head of La Débrouille, a support organization that operates in Quebec’s Bas-Saint-Laurent region, said the project calls for signs posted in pharmacies to indicate women in need of help can have access to a telephone to call a shelter or even the police.

Thus far, three area pharmacies have agreed to participate in the plan while two others that are operating but banning public access have posted information on their entrances on how to contact La Débrouille.
Similar programs have been launched in pharmacies in Europe.
