IRS commissioner: 'Primary mission' is regaining public trust
Newly appointed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Daniel Werfel said the agency has lost the public?s trust because of a ?fundamental failure? by IRS management that included allowing the political targeting of conservative groups.
In his first appearance before a Congressional committee Monday, Mr. Werfel said his "primary mission is to restore? trust in the tax collection agency. Werfel, who has been in office 12 days, said he had ordered a review of a ?broad spectrum of IRS operations? and had installed new leadership ?at several critical levels? of the IRS. He pledged to ?permanently fix? the problems he found and to be ?open and transparent with the American people.?
The meeting of the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Subcommittee was the fourth hearing since the IRS Inspector General released a report in May. The document revealed that during the 2010 and 2012 elections groups with conservative sounding names that applied for tax exempt status were singled out for extended questioning by an IRS office in Cincinnati. At Monday?s hearing, Werfel called the conduct ?inappropriate and unacceptable.?

The hearing began with members of Congress from both parties railing against IRS misconduct. Rep. Hal Rogers (R) of Kentucky, chairman of the full appropriations committee, said the IRS ?has committed grave violations of the public trust? and that ?we will not tolerate another political enemies list.?
Ander Crenshaw (R) of Florida, the subcommittee chair, criticized what he called ?newly discovered incredible waste? in IRS spending on employee conferences and videos. The Inspector General?s office is scheduled to release a report on the conferences on Tuesday that the Associated Press says will show the IRS spent $50 million to hold 220 employee conferences between 2010 and 2012.
Among the embarrassing evidence: a video showing IRS employees dancing to the rhythm and blues song ?Cupid Shuffle? at a 2010 conference. Rep. Rita Lowey (D) of New York, the ranking Democrat on the full Appropriations Committee, said reports of the spending on employee conferences left her ?simply wondering what the IRS was thinking.?
The IRS scandals come at an especially sensitive time for the agency since it will play a key role in implementing the Affordable Care Act, President Obama?s signature legislative achievement. The Obama administration is seeking a 9 percent increase in IRS funding for the federal budget year that starts in October. Representative Crenshaw said Congress would have to ?think very carefully about how much money to provide the IRS.?
At Monday?s hearing, Commissioner Werfel said ?the solution here is not more money.? He said ?the right starting point is? finding the ?optimal footprint? for agency operations and only then turning to the question of agency funding.
The political impact of the controversy has been on display. On CNN?s ?State of the Union? Sunday, Rep. Darrell Issa (R) of California said interviews with workers in the Cincinnati IRS office show the targeting of conservative groups was "a problem that was coordinated in all likelihood right out of Washington headquarters ? and we're getting to proving it."
Representative Lowey asked IRS Inspector General J. Russell George whether there was evidence that the targeting of conservative groups was ordered by the White House. ?Within the White House, no,? Mr. George replied.
Congressional scrutiny of the agency will continue. The House Ways and Means Committee will hold a hearing Tuesday featuring representatives from conservative groups that were targeted by the IRS. As ABC News? ?The Note? reports, some of those groups filed a joint lawsuit against the agency last week.
Later in the week, the Inspector General will appear before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to discuss his audit of IRS spending on employee gatherings.
Material from the Associated Press was used in compiling this report.

The result is a sometimes gritty, occasionally charming Highland hybrid, but the final balance feels slightly off-kilter.
Loach takes us through the mysteries of whisky making, exploring the subtle tastes and scents in ways that will have audiences wishing they had a dram at hand. But a glass also serves more symbolic purposes ...
If you want to look for it, you'll find a layer of metaphor (the distilling process as a symbol of the characters' evolution) and social-realist commentary amid the gentle, life-affirming laughs.
[Ken Loach] and his longtime screenwriter, Paul Laverty, find a good balance between drama and wacky character moments.
A lark, but it's a serious-minded lark, addressing issues of class and culture, the haves and have-nots.
Charming enough to satisfy even the trenchant-commentary crowd.
Ken Loach walks on the lighter side
The title, by the way, refers to the distillation process: the 2% of whisky that evaporates in the barrel is known as "the angel's share." I'm afraid there's more than 2% evaporation going on in Loach's latest.
Much like a stiff drink at the end of a long day, "The Angels' Share" gets the job done, but you're probably not going to remember it in the morning.
Loach's realism lends an easygoing, ramshackle quality to the film that smoothes over any lack of tightness.
Director Ken Loach's latest glimpse of the U.K. underclass is really two rather different movies, either of which I would've enjoyed on their own. But they don't really fit together in any satisfying or even logical way.
A fairy tale with its feet firmly on the ground.
Whether Robbie pulls off his caper should be left for the audience to discover. But Loach's great cinematic switcheroo goes off almost without a hitch.
As heartwarming and uplifting as any tale could be that features vicious beatings and grand larceny.
While it has some likable characters, particularly its charismatic lead, it's impossible to shake the feeling that we've seen this movie before.
Lead actor Paul Brannigan, the product of Glasgow's working-class East End, is a natural.
The usual Loachian elements are all in place, but there is a gentle spirit at work here as well, and not just the alcoholic spirits around which the plot revolves.
The Angels' Share is a stellar bit of activist cinema with a light touch.

Mom's Education Impacts Adult Kids' Depression Risk - Psych Central
Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on June 2, 2013
A new study shows that children of women who didn?t graduate from high school have double the risk of experiencing major?depression in early adulthood, compared to children of mothers who graduated.
?Our research indicates that a mother?s lack of high school education has a robust impact on her child?s risk of major depressive episode in early adulthood,? said senior author Am?lie Quesnel-Vall?e, Ph.D.,?of McGill University.
The higher risk of depression in children of mothers with less than a high school education could not be attributed to parental history of depression, early life adversity, or the children?s own education and income in early adulthood.
The study is the first in Canada to distinguish the impact of a mother and father?s education on depression in early adulthood.
For the study, researchers looked at a sample of 1,267 individuals from Statistics Canada?s National Population Health Survey.
Participants were first interviewed in 1994, when they were between 12 and 24 years old, and living with their parents. They were then followed for 12 years, and their risk of major depressive episode was assessed between the ages of 22 and 36.
?Depression in early adulthood strikes at a critical time,? said Quesnel-Vall?e.
?An individual may be pursuing studies or apprenticeships, or starting a career or a family.? A disruption caused by depression can potentially derail these events and have lifelong consequences.?
Interestingly, the father?s level of education has no impact.
?This, along with the fact that the effect of mother?s education was not explained by the children?s own education or income, suggests that mothers? parenting skills may be at play here,? she said.
Alison Park, a researcher at the Institut National de Sant? Publique du Qu?bec who worked on the research for her master?s degree, said, ?Education gives people practical skills, such as communication, analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as an increased sense of mastery.?
?A better-educated mother might be more confident in coping with difficulties arising from child-rearing.? This increased confidence and feeling of self-mastery might serve as a model for her children.?
The research is published in the journal Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology.

Italy confirms 3 cases of new respiratory virus
ROME (AP) ? Three people were being treated Saturday for a new respiratory virus that is alarming global health officials, in the first cases in Italy, the country's health ministry said.
A 45-year-old man who had recently returned from a 40-day visit to Jordan was hospitalized in Tuscany with a high fever, cough and respiratory problems, the ministry said. Tuscan regional officials say that a young child who is related to the man and a work colleague also have the virus, the ministry said.
All three patients were reported to be in good condition and were being treated in isolation.
The virus is related to SARS, which killed about 800 people in a global epidemic in 2003. The U.N. health agency said earlier Saturday that it had been informed of 51 confirmed cases of the new virus since September.
Thirty of those cases were fatal, including that of a Frenchman who died earlier in the week. Cases in Britain and Germany also have been reported.
Most of those infected had traveled to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan or Pakistan.

Blow to Egyptian regime: Court rules legislature illegally elected
CAIRO (AP) ? Egypt's highest court ruled on Sunday that the nation's Islamist-dominated legislature and constitutional panel were illegally elected, dealing a serious blow to the legal basis of the Islamists' hold on power.
The ruling by the Supreme Constitutional Court says that the legislature's upper house, the only one currently sitting, would not be dissolved until the parliament's lower chamber is elected later this year or early in 2014. The constitutional panel has already dissolved after completing the charter.
The ruling deepens the political instability that has gripped the country since the overthrow of authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak more than two years ago.
The same court ruled to dissolve parliament's lower chamber in June, a move that led to the promotion of the normally toothless upper chamber, the Shura Council, to becoming a law-making house. The Shura Council, long derided as nothing more than a talk shop, was elected by about seven percent of the electorate last year.
It was not immediately clear whether the ruling on the 100-member constitutional panel would impact in any way on the charter it drafted. The constitution was adopted in a nationwide vote in December with a relatively low turnout of about 35 percent.
But even if it does not, the ruling will question the legal foundations of the disputed charter pushed through by allies of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in an all-night session late last year. Critics say the charter restricts freedoms and gives clerics a say in legislation. The Islamists who drafted it hail the document as the best one Egypt has ever had.
In what appeared to be an attempt to remove any confusion over the ruling, Morsi's office issued a brief statement in which it emphasized that all state institutions must respect the constitution, that the Shura Council will continue to function as the nation's legislature and that the president will ensure that all the branches of state are fully functioning.
Regardless of its consequences on the ground, Sunday's ruling is likely to prolong the polarizing political transition that followed Mubarak's overthrow. Rival political groups disagree not just on policies and the future course of the nation but on the legitimacy of the basic institutions of government.
It will give heart to the mostly secular and liberal opposition, while providing fresh ammunition to the argument often repeated by the president's supporters that the judiciary is filled with Mubarak loyalists determined to derail the nation's political process.
Morsi, elected nearly a year ago, tried to reinstate parliament's lower chamber just days after he came to office on June 30 but eventually bowed to the court ruling and backed down.
In both rulings on parliament's two chambers, the court contended that political parties that fielded candidates for the third of seats set aside for independent candidates, as allowed by the election law, amounted to a breach of the principle of fairness.
The Shura Council's critics say it is ill-equipped to be the nation's sole law-making body, and complain that it's considering legislation that will have a far reach into the future rather than simply pass what is absolutely necessary during the transition period.
Of the chamber's 270 members, 180 were elected, and Morsi appointed the other 90. Five percent of its members are Christians ? about half the proportion of the population ? and four percent are women.
When Shura Council elections were held in early 2012, not only did many voters stay away but so did many political parties ? especially several of the newborn liberal groups with smaller budgets. Over 70 percent of the seats were won by Islamists.
The court on Sunday also ruled unconstitutional clauses in a 1958 law giving the president far-reaching powers under a state of emergency. The invalidated clauses allowed suspects to be arrested with little recourse and placed restrictions on the freedoms of movement and assembly.
The ruling comes ahead of the scheduled climax on June 30 ? the president's first anniversary in office ? of a campaign by anti-government protesters to collect 15 million signatures of Egyptians who want to see Morsi leave office.
Morsi has yet to say whether he intends to take any action against the campaign or its organizers, who plan to stage a mass protest outside his Cairo palace on June 30. But the president's supporters have denounced as illegal the campaign, called Tamarod, or "Rebel," and there have been several street scuffles between the two sides.
