The rapper paid tribute to his girl's ASSets in his new music video for 'Ice Cream Man' by. Ice Cream Man Power Pop And More. Compiled by Wayne Lundqvist Ford (Ice Cream Man). Dearborn ice cream man still awaiting deportation. Mahmoud Bazzi, a Dearborn resident accused of killing two Irish soldiers in Lebanon in 1. July by U. S. Two were found killed. The other, wounded. Any week now, his attorney says, Mahmoud Bazzi will be deported to Lebanon.
It has been more than five months since an immigration judge in Detroit ordered the U. S. The order from Judge David Paruch followed Free Press articles featuring interviews with authorities in Ireland and with retired Irish soldiers, who maintained that Bazzi abducted three Irish soldiers in war- torn Lebanon in 1. Two of them later were found tortured and killed. Another was wounded. American authorities have been officially mum on whether there are plans to prosecute Bazzi for war crimes, though they said the allegations played heavily in the decision to deport him. Fred Ajluni, Bazzi's Royal Oak attorney, said he believes Bazzi will be freed in Lebanon without charges. Ajluni last week in an interview blamed the deportation delay on Lebanese officials, who just recently issued Bazzi a passport that he needs to travel. Soon, perhaps in another week or two, arrangements will be complete to return him to Lebanon, Ajluni said. From the archives: Is Dearborn ice cream man a war criminal? He has been held in the St. Clair County Jail, which leases space to federal prisoners and is about an hour from Dearborn. Khaalid Walls, a spokesman for the the Detroit office of U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said recently the delay in deporting Bazzi is not unreasonable. Bazzi remains in ICE custody while the agency continues to finalize his removal from the United States. It was finally received about three weeks ago, Ajluni said. The deportation order followed published interviews with Steve Hindy, an American former journalist who was assigned to cover the civil war in southern Lebanon, and John O'Mahony, the wounded soldier who survived. Both men in the interviews identified Bazzi as the man who abducted them and five other members of a United Nations peacekeeping group in southern Lebanon. At the time, Bazzi was part of a Lebanese militia that sometimes clashed with the multinational United Nations troops, who had been installed to keep peace between Israel to the south and Palestinians to the north. Ten days before the soldiers' abduction, Bazzi's younger brother was killed in a skirmish with Irish UN troops. On local radio, death threats were made against the Irish, demanding a bounty or the lives of two Irish soldiers. Hindy was a war correspondent for the Associated Press at the time, covering Lebanon's civil war from Beirut. He accompanied the UN troops on April 1. The mission included the three Irish soldiers. A group of gunmen stopped the group, took them to a schoolhouse and separated the Irish from the others. O'Mahony said Bazzi shot him in the schoolhouse. The other two Irish soldiers fled, but were recaptured outside. Hindy said he saw Bazzi drive away with privates Tom Barrett and Derek Smallhorne. The soldiers' bodies were discovered later that day. Before his arrest last year, Bazzi denied in interviews with the Free Press being involved in the abduction and shooting of O'Mahony and the killings of Barrett and Smallhorne. Complicating matters for Bazzi, he claimed credit in the days after the killings on TV in Lebanon. He has told the newspaper that a militia commander forced him to go on TV and lie, threatening his life if he did not claim responsibility. In August, Bazzi admitted in court that he entered the U. S. He has supported himself and his family, in part, by selling ice cream to children. Contact Jim Schaefer: 3. Follow him on Twitter @Detroit. Reporter. Read or Share this story: http: //on.

July 29, 2016 • This week marked what would have been the 92nd birthday of Louisville civil rights legend Anne Braden. She began as a labor activist, but soon turned her attention to housing equality - or the lack thereof - in Louisville. In 1954, Anne and her husband Carl bought a house in an all-white neighborhood, on behalf of a black couple. That couple, Andrew and Charlotte Wade, had their windows broken when they moved in, and white neighbors burned a cross on their lawn. Days later, the house was dynamited. The Bradens were charged with sedition, while the bombers went unpunished. This week, Dr. Want to watch this again later? Sign in to add this video to a playlist.

Catherine Fos'l, from UofL's Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research, joins us to share some of the remarkable story of Anne Braden's life. We talk about what inspired her to activism, and the role of white allies and accomplices in the movement of today. Then we check in with WFPL's Jake Ryan, who reported this week on Louisville's lack of progress in dealing with abandoned and vacant homes. Strange Fruit #182: Celebrating Anne Braden's Birthday. Strange Fruit #181: "You Can't Swim!" Paddle Boarding While Black. July 22, 2016 • Summer is in full swing, and it's the time of year when most of us head outside to enjoy the fresh air. Maybe you take to the hiking trail with just what you can carry on your back. Or maybe your idea of being outdoorsy is having drinks on a patio. (We'll let you figure out which option #TeamStrangeFruit favors. ) If you're a person of color, especially a black person, data shows you're less likely to participate in traditional outdoor activities. NPR's Code Switch talked about it recently in their podcast, noting the National Parks Service's statistic that around 80% of its visitors, volunteers and staff last year were white. 12045552_10205580003002972_7170443638992725955_oExplore Kentucky We decided to see what the situation looks like closer to home. So we spoke with Gerry James, founder and director of the Explore Kentucky initiative. He says it's not unusual for him to be the only black camper, hiker, or paddle boarder in his group — and people notice. He's heard everything from, "Hey, it's great to see you out here, brother!" to "Get out of the water, you can't swim," accompanied by racial slurs. So his work with Explore Kentucky encourages everyone to enjoy our state's beautiful scenery. They offer classes, workshops, and donation-based activities to all interested parties, regardless of income level or experience. We talked about some of the factors that might prevent people of color from engaging more with nature, including the fact that public parks and pools were tightly segregated under Jim Crow laws. We also promised Gerry to be more open to the idea of spending time outside (not counting patios), and he even has us ready to try out his favorite sport: the ancient Hawaiian practice of stand-up paddle boarding. In our Juicy Fruit segment, we talk about Melania Trump's speech at the Republican National Convention, and how Dr. Story plans to use it to teach her university students about plagiarism. Strange Fruit #181: "You Can't Swim!" Paddle Boarding While Black. Strange Fruit #180: Reflections On Three Summers Of Black Lives Matter. July 15, 2016 • Three years ago this week, a Florida jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of the murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Like many people across the country, we were stunned, and saddened at the loss of life and lack of justice. We asked Lucie Brooks to join us in the studio that week, and help us analyze the cases presented by both the prosecution and defense, and what may have lead to the not-guilty verdict. Lucie taught us about jury demographics and how they affect trial outcomes (Zimmerman's just was made up of five white women and one Puerto Rican woman). And we also talked about something more personal: Lucie's experiences as the white mom of four black sons. Just over a year later, a police officer shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri. Protests sprung up in the neighborhood, and the police responded with curfews and riot squads. International media descended on the St. Louis suburb. We thought surely things would change. Police departments would implement extra training about de-escalation, internal biases, and use of force. All the attention on Ferguson would bring change. The Black Lives Matter movement, formed in the wake of the Zimmerman verdict, was galvanized. At that time, we spoke to now-Representative-elect Attica Scott, about the interplay between police departments, local governments, and their communities. Like Lucie, she spoke about raising black sons. Now, three years later, Philando Castille and Alton Sterling were both shot by police, in different cities, just days apart. They became the latest in what seems like an unending cycle of shootings, administrative leave, hashtags, protests, and acquittals. We're listening back to parts of our conversations with Attica and Lucie this week, since they are, sadly, still just as relevant here in the summer of 2016. In our Juicy Fruit segment this week, we talk about a Yale employee who pulled a Bree Newsom in the Calhoun College dining hall, where he worked. Corey Menafee smashed a stained glass window that depicted enslaved people picking cotton. He was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor for reckless endangerment in the second degree and a felony for criminal mischief in the first degree. Yale has asked the state's attorney in Connecticut to drop the charges, and Menafee has since resigned. And on a brighter note, the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors returned this week after a six-year hiatus, with a special show honoring the genre's female pioneers. We talk about the performances we loved, and women's importance in hip-hip history. Strange Fruit #180: Reflections On Three Summers Of Black Lives Matter. Strange Fruit #179: The Same Conversation. July 9, 2016 • When we sat down in the studio to record this week's show, it was Wednesday evening, and our hearts were heavy with the news of Alton Sterling's death. Sterling was shot and killed by police in Baton Rouge. He'd been selling CDs outside of a convenience store. It's a conversation we've had more times than we can accurately remember in our four years of producing Strange Fruit episodes. The details change, but our analysis stays the same. A police officer who hasn't been trained to recognize his own internal biases is more likely to see a black man as a threat. Media outlets look to the victim's past, and behavior during the stop, for evidence of guilt. Police who shoot people are rarely convicted of crimes. These are all factors in this cycle of police violence we're seeing in the United States — and now that most people have cell phones with video cameras, we actually see the incidents, all over the internet and TV. The morning after we recorded our episode, the whole world was watching a Facebook live video taken by Diamond Reynolds showing the last minutes of her boyfriend's life. Philandro Castile was shot by police during a traffic stop. Reynolds's 4-year-old daughter, who was in the back seat during the shooting, could be heard on the live stream telling her mom, "It's OK, I'm right here with you. " And then, the next night, a sniper shot at police during a peaceful protest in Dallas, killing five officers. The violence perpetrated by and involving the police is so constant, we can't keep up with it. So this week, we're bringing you the show as we originally recorded it, focused on Alton Sterling. We'll be at Louisville's vigil on Sunday, and we'll keep you posted on further developments. And we sincerely hope we never see another week like this. Strange Fruit #179: The Same Conversation. Strange Fruit #178: Violence Against LGBTQ People Of Color Is Part Of U. Makeup. July 1, 2016 • Americans seemed stunned by the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Commenters on TV and online blamed easy access to guns. Some blamed lack of mental health care. Or radical Islam. Or homophobia. The culprit usually varied based on the ideology of the opinion holder, and arguments popped up over language use: Was it a hate crime? Is he a terrorist (and if so, why wasn't Dylan Roof)? We're a show hosted by LGBTQ people of color. We saw the shooting as an intentional targeting of LGBTQ people of color. Omar Mateen had done some research on Pulse, and would have certainly known it was Latino night. So how does that shape the way we think about the shooting? Eric Stanley is an assistant professor in the Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of California, Riverside. In his essay, "Near Life, Queer Death," he asserts that anti-LGBTQ violence is not an aberration, but rather the natural result of an white-supremacist, hetero-supremacist society. Stanley connects large-scale acts of violence, like the Pulse shooting, to high murder rates of transgender women of color. "Often times it gets explained as being the work of one discrete bad person or the "bad apple" syndrome," Stanley says. "Anti-trans, anti-queer violence, which is always racialized, which is always gendered, is one of the foundational forms of violence that makes up the United States. " We also talk about the hits and misses of the BET Awards, including their Prince tribute, and Jesse Williams' earth-shattering acceptance speech. Strange Fruit #178: Violence Against LGBTQ People Of Color Is Part Of U. Makeup. Strange Fruit #177: Governor Matt Bevin. Can he do that. June 24, 2016 • Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin continues to do things his own way. He's been using executive orders to make changes with far-reaching implications — and getting sued for it. This week, we check in with Kentucky Public Radio's capital bureau chief, Ryland Barton, to get an update on Bevin's latest acts as governor. The one that got the most attention this week was Bevin's announcement that he was disbanding the University of Louisville's board of trustees (and that university president Dr. James Ramsey would step down). Bevin dismissed all the trustees and replaced them with three interim board members of his own choosing. But can he do that? A group of university faculty members (including our own Dr. Kaila Story) say they're worried the shakeup could affect the school's accreditation. Attorney General Andy Beshear is taking Bevin to court over this and other board reorganizations he says violate statutes. Dr. David Owen, chair of the Philosophy Department, joins us this week to talk about faculty concerns. And Lexington's EMW clinic closed this week after Bevin sued the abortion provider, saying they were performing abortions without the correct license. He's also sued Planned Parenthood of Kentucky and Indiana. Reproductive rights activist Molly Shah talks about what the loss of reproductive choices could mean in women's lives. Strange Fruit #177: Governor Matt Bevin. Can he do that. Strange Fruit #176: Faith After Violence. June 18, 2016 • When we on #TeamStrangeFruit heard about the shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando last Sunday morning, we reached out to each other. Throughout that day, we reached out to our community, our friends at the Fairness Campaign, and our counterparts across the river at Jeffersonville Pride, and helped create the beautiful vigil on the Big Four Bridge. In the week that's followed, we find ourselves reaching out to the people in our lives who are wise, and who maintain their ability to love in the face of hate and violence. One of those folks is Reverend Alvin Herring, friend to the show and LGBTQ ally (and the officiant of Kaila and Missy's wedding, earlier this year!). It's been a week since the shooting. Life goes on, but nothing feels normal, and maybe it never will again - at least not like it was before. So instead of recording a regular episode, we just brought Reverend Al into the studio, and he and Kaila had a conversation about faith, hate, love, recovery, and support. This week we bring you that conversation, and we hope it is as healing for you as it was for us. Thanks for listening, and we'll be back with a regular show next week. Strange Fruit #176: Faith After Violence. Strange Fruit #175: What The Brock Turner Case Says About Race & Justice. June 11, 2016 • New information continues to surface about the Stanford rape case. The latest news is that Brock Turner, who was caught raping an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, will serve only 3 months of his 6 month sentence — a sentence already surprisingly short, given that he was convicted of three felony counts of sexual assault. New York Daily News's Senior Justice Writer Shaun King wrote a piece contrasting Turner's outcome with the sentence handed down to Corey Batey, a Vanderbilt student who raped an unconscious woman in a dorm room. The similarities are striking: Both were star athletes on campus, both were 19 years old, both had ample evidence against them, and both were convicted on three felony counts. But there are two big differences: Batey is black. Turner is white. And Batey is serving a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 to 25 years in prison, while Turner is scheduled to be released before the pools close at the end of this summer. King joins us this week to talk about the case, and Turner's short sentence. "All of us know, and some of us have family and friends, who've served devastating hard time for doing far less than this young man," King says. "He was given breaks that black folks never get. And it's desicable. " Research consistently show that black defendants tend to get longer sentences than white defendants, even for the same offenses. A 2014 study by the ACLU found the disparity around 20% — in the federal system, black males tended to receive, on average, a 20% longer sentence than white males for the same crimes. "In this case between Batey and turner, you're talking about a 3000% difference," King says. We spend this episode talking about the different ways the criminal justice system treats people according to race — including incidents where black people have died in police custody or while being arrested. And we explore how efforts to bring more equality to the justice system, like Louisville Judge Olu Stevens' attempts at bringing diversity to the jury box, have been met with resistance. Strange Fruit #175: What The Brock Turner Case Says About Race & Justice. Strange Fruit #174: Race & Racism In The Gorilla Pit Conversation. June 4, 2016 • It's an all-Juicy-Fruit episode of Strange Fruit, where we tackle some topics that have been in the news, on the timelines, and on everyone's minds. Joining us in the studio are attorney Joe Dunman and PR guru Walter Walker. We start off talking race and racism in the national conversation about the child who fell into the gorilla exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo. Then we bring you the story of Black Lives Matter activist Jasmine Richards, who recently became the first black person in U. History to be convicted of lynching (we didn't get it either - it was a good week to have a lawyer in the room!). And we close out the show with reactions to a new Angel Soft commercial where people who were raised by single moms wish their mothers a happy Father's Day. They mention things like how their moms taught them to fight, and knew how to fix the car. So we wondered, is there a difference between mothering and fathering? Are they antiquated concepts? Is parenting just parenting. Strange Fruit #174: Race & Racism In The Gorilla Pit Conversation. Strange Fruit #173: What If You Use A Wheelchair & You Need An STD Test. May 27, 2016 • "I just tested positive for syphilis. " That's the text message Andrew Gurza received from a recent partner, and like any responsible queer man, he knew what to do — if not exactly how to do it. Andrew wasn't sure if the local clinic would be able to accommodate the wheelchair he uses. "STI and STD clinics are kind of crammed in these really small areas where somebody with a big power chair like mine can't go," he says. He would also need people or equipment to lift him out of his chair and help him disrobe (unlike some other STDs, like HIV, the test for syphilis involves more than just drawing blood). He thought the hospital might be his best bet. "I think they were just surprised that I had come into an ER and not to a clinic that was for STI testing," he says. A doctor initially tried to persuade Andrew that he didn't need the test, but he insisted and the test was eventually administered. The whole long process (including an hour-long bus ride each way) made him realize that something needs to change in order for people with disabilities to more easily access sexual health resources. Andrew Gurza joins us this week to talk about an article he wrote on the subject for Out. com. He's also the co-founder of Deliciously Disabled Consulting and the host of the Deliciously Disabled podcast. He says gay culture, with its focus on aesthetics, is not always kind to those with different bodies. Potential partners often seem to see his disability and assume he isn't sexual at all. "All guys can ask me in the club or online or on Grindr is, 'Uh, can you have an erection? Can you have sex?'" he says. "Why can't you ask me something more nuanced and sexier than that?" We spoke with Andrew about the intersection of disability, queerness, and sexuality, and why our thinking about these things should matter, even to folks without disabilities. "In ten, twenty, thirty years, you might need some help too, and you might need a cane or a walker, and you might need some sort of assistive device," he says. "And when you do, wouldn't you want somebody to still find you sexy?" In our Juicy Fruit segment this week, we talk about a Maryland theater's plan to stage a production based on the life of Paris Is Burning star Dorian Corey. And we pay our respects to Mercedes Successful, the 12th (known) transgender person to be killed in 2016. As our Auntie Monica Roberts at TransGriot reports, the 32-year-old drag and pageant performer was found murdered in Haines City, Florida, and local media misgendered her in their coverage of the crime.

Monster Tunes enlists the production talents of Irishman Gary Maguire and Polish born American Thomas Datt to remix a complete classic from the Monster vault in time.Jaws (film) - Wikipedia. Jaws is a 1. 97. 5 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Peter Benchley's 1. In the story, a giant man- eatinggreat white shark attacks beachgoers on Amity Island, a fictional New England summer resort town, prompting the local police chief to hunt it with the help of a marine biologist and a professional shark hunter. The film stars Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody, Robert Shaw as shark hunter Quint, Richard Dreyfuss as oceanographer Matt Hooper, Murray Hamilton as Larry Vaughn, the mayor of Amity Island, and Lorraine Gary as Brody's wife, Ellen. The screenplay is credited to both Benchley, who wrote the first drafts, and actor- writer Carl Gottlieb, who rewrote the script during principal photography. Shot mostly on location on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, the film had a troubled production, going over budget and past schedule. As the art department's mechanical sharks suffered many malfunctions, Spielberg decided to mostly suggest the animal's presence, employing an ominous, minimalistic theme created by composer John Williams to indicate the shark's impending appearances. Spielberg and others have compared this suggestive approach to that of classic thriller director Alfred Hitchcock. Universal Pictures gave the film what was then an exceptionally wide release for a major studio picture, over 4. Now considered one of the greatest films ever made, Jaws was the prototypical summer blockbuster, with its release regarded as a watershed moment in motion picture history. Jaws became the highest- grossing film of all time until the release of Star Wars (1. It won several awards for its soundtrack and editing. Along with Star Wars, Jaws was pivotal in establishing the modern Hollywood business model, which revolves around high box- office returns from action and adventure pictures with simple . It was followed by three sequels, none with the participation of Spielberg or Benchley, and many imitative thrillers. In 2. 00. 1, Jaws was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, being deemed . While treading water, she is violently pulled under. The next morning, her partial remains are found on shore. The medical examiner ruling the death a shark attack leads Police Chief Martin Brody to close the beaches. Shark Week tells you everything you want to know about sharks and their world. Shark Week; Season 2012; How Jaws Changed the World; Shark Week. Mayor Larry Vaughn overrules him, fearing it will ruin the town's summer economy. The coroner now concurs with the mayor's theory that the girl was killed in a boating accident. Brody reluctantly accepts their conclusion until another fatal shark attack occurs shortly after. A bounty is then placed on the shark, resulting in an amateur shark- hunting frenzy. Local professional shark hunter Quint offers his services for $1. Meanwhile, consulting oceanographer Matt Hooper examines the first victim's remains and confirms the death was from a shark attack. When local fishermen catch a large tiger shark, the mayor proclaims the beaches safe.
A giant great white shark arrives on the shores of a New England beach resort and wreaks havoc with.Hooper disputes it being the same predator, confirming this after no human remains are found inside it. Hooper and Brody find a half- sunken vessel while searching the night waters in Hooper's boat. Underwater, Hooper retrieves a sizable great white shark's tooth embedded in the submerged hull. He drops it after finding a partial corpse. Vaughn discounts Brody and Hooper's claims that a huge great white shark is responsible and refuses to close the beaches, allowing only added safety precautions. On the Fourth of July weekend, tourists pack the beaches. Following a juvenile prank, the real shark enters a nearby estuary, killing a boater and causing Brody's son, Michael, to go into shock. Brody finally convinces a devastated Vaughn to hire Quint. Quint, Brody, and Hooper set out on Quint's boat, the Orca, to hunt the shark. While Brody lays down a chum line, Quint waits for an opportunity to hook the shark. Without warning, it appears behind the boat. Quint estimates the shark's length at 2. At nightfall, as the three swap stories, the great white returns unexpectedly, ramming the boat's hull and killing the power. The men work through the night repairing the engine. In the morning, Brody attempts to call the Coast Guard, but Quint smashes the radio, enraging Brody. After a long chase, Quint harpoons another barrel into the shark. The line is tied to the stern, but the shark drags the boat backwards, swamping the deck and flooding the engine compartment, forcing Quint to sever the line to prevent the transom from being pulled out. He then heads toward shore, intending to lure the shark to shallower waters and suffocate it, but the overtaxed engine quits. With the Orca slowly sinking, the trio attempt a riskier approach: Hooper dons scuba gear and enters the water in a shark- proof cage, intending to lethally inject the shark with strychnine using a hypodermic spear. The shark demolishes the cage before Hooper can inject it, but he manages to escape to the seabed. The shark then attacks the boat directly, killing Quint. Trapped on the sinking vessel, Brody stuffs a pressurized scuba tank into the shark's mouth, and, climbing the mast, shoots the tank with Quint's rifle, destroying it. The resulting explosion obliterates the shark. Hooper resurfaces, and he and Brody paddle to Amity Island clinging to boat wreckage. Production. Zanuck and David Brown, producers at Universal Pictures, independently heard about Peter Benchley's novel Jaws. Brown came across it in the literature section of lifestyle magazine Cosmopolitan, then edited by his wife, Helen Gurley Brown. A small card written by the magazine's book editor gave a detailed description of the plot, concluding with the comment . The 2. 6- year- old had just directed his first theatrical film, The Sugarland Express, for Zanuck and Brown. At the end of a meeting in their office, Spielberg noticed their copy of the still- unpublished Benchley novel, and after reading it was immediately captivated. Principal photography was set to begin in May 1. Universal wanted the shoot to finish by the end of June, when the major studios' contract with the Screen Actors Guild was due to expire, to avoid any disruptions due to a potential strike. Spielberg sent Gottlieb a script, asking what the writer would change and if there was a role he would be interested in performing. He passed the audition one week before Spielberg took him to meet the producers regarding a writing job. Many pieces of dialogue originated from the actors' improvisations during these meals; a few were created on set, most notably Roy Scheider's ad- lib of the line . According to Gottlieb, Quint was loosely based on Mundus, whose book Sportfishing for Sharks he read for research. Spielberg described it as a collaboration between Sackler, Milius, and actor Robert Shaw, who was also a playwright. The first actors cast were Lorraine Gary, the wife of then- president of Universal Sid Sheinberg, as Ellen Brody. Details and Analysis of Donald Trump's Tax Plan. Key Findings. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s tax plan would significantly reduce income taxes and corporate taxes, and eliminate the estate tax. Trump gets down to business on 60 Minutes. Scott Pelley interviews Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who lays out key policy details and reveals a major. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Programs and services that support the employees and stakeholders in state government enterprise. According to the Tax Foundation’s Taxes and Growth Model, the plan would reduce federal revenue by between $4. The amount depends on the nature of a key business policy provision. The plan would also significantly reduce marginal rates and the cost of capital, which would lead to higher long- run levels of GDP, wages, and full- time equivalent jobs. After accounting for the larger economy and the broader tax base, the plan would reduce revenues by between $2. The plan reduces revenue by substantially less than the plan proposed by Trump last year, on both a static and dynamic basis. On a static basis, the plan would lead to at least 0. The plan would lead to at least 1. Introduction. Last Thursday in New York, Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Knowing the ins and outs of your plan helps you manage your health care costs. One new tool TRS health plan participants can access is ALEX. Plan 9 from Bell Labs is a distributed operating system, originally developed by the Computing Sciences Research Center at Bell Labs between the mid-1980s and 2002. Trump released a tax reform plan. Furthermore, it would broaden the individual income tax base. The plan would also lower the corporate income tax rate to 1. Finally, the plan would eliminate federal estate and gift taxes while eliminating step- up basis. Our analysis finds that the Trump tax plan would substantially reduce federal revenues from both individual income taxes and corporate income taxes. These reductions in revenue come primarily from lower rates on individuals and businesses. One particular tax rate, the individual income tax rate on pass- through business income, is not clearly specified in current plan documentation. Trump released details of a tax reform plan. Assuming that the individual income tax rate on pass- through business income is the same as the rates on other individual income, the Trump tax plan would reduce federal tax revenue by $4. But if the tax rate on this income is instead intended to be the same as the tax rate on corporate business income, the plan would then reduce federal revenue by $5. In addition to these possibilities, which we see as upper and lower bounds for total revenue generation, the policy may reduce federal revenue somewhere in between. As a result, we estimate that the plan would boost long- run GDP, raise wages, and increase the equilibrium level of full- time equivalent jobs. Due to the larger economy and the broader tax base, the plan would reduce revenue by less on a dynamic basis: by $2. Our analysis does not consider how or if this revenue loss would be financed, or the macroeconomic effects of such financing. Nor does it consider any policy proposals from Trump on subjects other than taxes, even though these are likely to have substantial effects on the economy as well.

Increases the standard deduction from $6,3. Eliminates the personal exemption and introduces other childcare- related tax provisions.

Other Changes. Eliminates federal estate and gift taxes but disallows step- up in basis for estates over $1. Pass- throughs are businesses that pay their taxes through the individual income tax code rather than through the corporate code. Under current law, such businesses distribute all of their earnings to their owners every year, and such earnings immediately appear only on the owners’ tax returns. They are taxed at ordinary individual income tax rates. In contrast, traditional C corporations can retain earnings without distributing them immediately to any particular shareholder. This allows shareholders to defer, but not permanently avoid, personal income tax liability on the gain in wealth that is tied up in the corporation. A substantial tax drawback to C corporations, though, is that they have to pay two layers of tax: an entity level tax on retained profits, and the personal income taxes for the shareholders who receive the profits when they are disbursed. Donald Trump’s tax plan, as described on the website as of today, “will lower the business tax rate from 3. This rate is available to all businesses, both big and small, that want to retain the profits within the business.” . For example, two different facts were reported Friday by The. Wall Street Journal alone, on the same information. An editorial piece states: “Mr. Trump is more consistent on the corporate side, recommending a more globally competitive income- tax rate of 1. Trump would lower the corporate tax rate from 3. He also appeared to abandon a core plank of his earlier tax plans, which called for a 1. Small- business groups had praised the single business tax rate but the Clinton campaign criticized what it called the “Trump loophole,” because much of Mr. Trump’s business income is taxed on his own return and could have gotten the lower rate. The Trump campaign revised its website on this throughout Thursday. A late- day version suggested but didn’t say clearly that the lower rate is only available for corporations. Under this interpretation, the phrasing indicates that the 1. C corporations. One indicator is that the sentence describes lowering the rate from 3. C corporations. A second indicator is that it is available to businesses that want to retain the profits within the business, which is a property of C corporations. Under Donald Trump’s tax plan, as in current law, after paying the 1. One middle ground between the two interpretations may be the idea that the Donald Trump’s tax plan would allow more businesses to file their taxes in the way that C corporations do, even if their legal structure today would have them pay taxes as a pass- through. These businesses could instead adopt paying an entity- level tax and then reduced shareholder taxes. However, a simple calculation of rate parity would suggest that the total tax burden on C corporations in the Donald Trump’s tax plan is in fact not substantially different than the top individual rate. A 1. 5 percent entity- level tax with a 2. It is not immediately clear that pass- throughs would benefit from adding a second layer of taxation by opting for the 1. Trevor Moran - Wikipedia.

The silence of the forest. It is the second gentlest kids' film of this summer, after Steven Spielberg's . There are nods to Spielberg- inflected movies as well, including . But it might ultimately have more in common with movies by Terrence Malick, a Transcendental hippie Christian poet who isn't afraid to put the plot on hold and wander around with a camera, letting us experience a rarefied vision of the natural world.
The whirring insects, the owls hooting in the treetops. Advertisement. Lowery, who brought the Malick in . The forest and its animals feel present, physical, in ways that you rarely experience in this post- analog era of movie- making. You hear birds chirp, streams running, wind creaking the boughs of trees. You get nice, long looks at faces, treetops and sunsets. And you appreciate the distinctive noises the dragon makes when he's re- positioning his scaly- furry belly on the forest floor, or unfurling his wings like a schooner's sails. They don't sound like cartoony monster noises. They're like a child's memory of a beloved dog that was really big, or seemed big because they were so little. Elliott is a magical creature, but more than that, he's a very large animal, smart and full of feeling. He doesn't move like so many CGI- rendered beasts in contemporary film. He moves like a medium- sized dragon would move if he actually existed, like the dinosaurs in the . And when he looks Pete in the eye, you sense a personality there. There isn't much, and maybe it's a good thing that there isn't more, because the film runs an hour and 4. Young Pete (Levi Alexander) is in the backseat of a car during a family vacation to the Pacific Northwest, reading his favorite book, . When wolves menace the terrified child, Elliott appears like a guardian angel, saves him, and parents him. Peter (Oakes Fegley) es un misterioso ni Pete's Dragon on DVD November 29, 2016 starring Oakes Fegley, Robert Redford, Oona Laurence, Bryce Dallas Howard. For years, old wood carver Mr. Pete's Dragon (2016) summary of box office results, charts and release information and related links. Pete's Dragon develops into a sentimental bit of fluff. It certainly helps that young actor Oakes Fegley is extremely natural and the CGI creature is realistic as well. Then comes a stretch that plays like desert island sequence of . It's five years later, though perhaps not in the present; the movie is vague about its time frame, but the lack of modern tech suggests it's set before the '9. Pete and Elliott are getting along like missing characters from . In one memorable image, showcased in the trailer, the boy leaps off a cliff and the dragon sails upward to catch him; you can tell by their nonchalance that it's not the first time they've done this. Advertisement. An old timer in town, Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford), is known as the only living person who's seen the dragon. The beast has a local mythology, like Bigfoot or the Yeti or the Jersey Devil, but it's kept alive mainly by Meacham's stories. His daughter Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard) hasn't seen it, nor has her fiance Jack (Wes Bentley), a logger, or his daughter Natalie (Oona Lawrence). When Grace finds Pete living in a self- built shack in the woods and takes him to the hospital for treatment, the film enters Frankenstein- and- the- villagers mode. Will Elliott save Pete from civilization? Will Pete save Elliott from being captured and put on display like a freak of nature, or worse, death by posse? Will the dragon breathe fire? Mommy, when will the dragon breathe fire? This is one of those medium- sized (or medium- sized seeming) movies with a big heart and lots of family appeal. Common wisdom says Hollywood doesn't make this kind of movie anymore. The studios make one of them every few months, and whether they're great or merely good, they give us respite from the clanking, bashing, burning and pouting that passes for fantasy now. We've seen at least three live- action films this year in a . It'd be a shame to think of this genre of movie vanishing from theaters in a haze, like Elliott turning invisible. |
