Tyler Perry Studios to Host Bishop Neil C. Ellis

Tyler Perry Studios makes plans to host Bishop Neil C. Ellis and some 50 members of the US Media, at a special press gala and luncheon on Thursday, March 18th at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta. This event marks the national release of Ellis' latest book, Pursuing the Glory, published by Pneuma Life Publishing. Neil C. Ellis is founder and senior minister of the 8,000 member Mount Tabor Full Gospel Baptist Church, based in Nassau, Bahamas; a chain of islands near the Florida Coast. He also serves as 2nd Presiding Bishop of the 500,000 member Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International, the second largest predominately African-American Christian denomination in the United States; founded by Bishop Paul S. Morton, Sr.; and only second to the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) -- founded in 1907 by Bishop Charles Harrison Mason.

In 2007, Ellis noticed complications related to what was then perceived to be a throat infection, which prompted him to seek the help of his Primary Care Physician. It was soon determined that he had severally damaged his right vocal cord, and was in desperate need of immediate repair; otherwise he would risk permanently losing his ability to speak and preach, if went untreated. Ellis agreed to surgery, and within a few weeks of voice rest from his first round in a series of surgeries; he began compiling sermon notes, which later became the book, Pursuing the Glory, and has become the central message of a new mandate he believes God has called him to. Joining Mr. Ellis in promoting this new message is colleague, and mega-church minister, Pastor Paula White, of Without Walls International Church, based in Tampa, Florida. "The body of Christ is in crucial times; we are in an age where we cannot afford to miss any opportunity to hear God -- even when we experience test and trials. While many times our first instinct is to react to stressful, challenging, or difficult situations with fear and panic, Pursuing the Glory encourage believers to recognize how unforeseen trials can offer us periods of reflections...," says White, who also wrote the book's Foreword.

Among those offering personal endorsements and support is film director and producer Tyler Perry; actors David and Tamela Mann of Meet the Browns; Bishop Paul S. Morton, Sr.; Pastor John K. Jenkins, Sr.; Bishop Walter S. Thomas; Bishop Joby Brady; Bishop Kenneth Ulmer, and Ellis' longtime friend and popular televangelist Bishop Eddie L. Long, of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, near Atlanta. Bishop Ellis says he is extremely grateful for the encouragement, input and tremendous support of the friends and colleagues across America, who has already participated in the promotional tour of the pre-release edition of the book -- which has sold over 10,000 copies. It is predicted by both critics and supporters alike that Pursuing the Glory is slated to appear on Amazon.com's top 100 Best Selling Books over the next few weeks. Books will be available in April at retailers nationwide

Earth Quake Safety

Earlier today, a magnitude-4.4 earthquake shook southern California at 4:04 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). It was centered approximately one mile from Pico Rivera, Calif., and about 11 miles from the Los Angeles Civic Center. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, authorities said. However, reports also stated that the quake may have caused damage to Interstate 5 in Lakewood, where two southbound lanes buckled and were closed temporarily. Although the USGS reports the temblor was centered 11 miles below the Earth's surface, the movement was enough to awaken some southern Californians. According to the USGS website, more than 1,000 people across Southern California reported feeling the earthquake.

Despite the lack of damage this morning's earthquake caused, given the recent earthquakes in Chile and Haiti, many people are concerned. Earthquakes can strike at any time without warning—preparation and knowing what to do when one occurs can help to ensure your safety.

  1. Identify potential hazards in homes, office and schools, and then fix any problems.
    • Anchor appliances, heavy furniture, hanging objects and cabinet doors
    • Cover windows with multi-layered mylar film, or replace with safety glass
    • Brace water heaters
    • Know how to turn off your water, gas and electricity
  2. Design a disaster plan; make lists of "What to Prepare" and "What to Learn and Practice."
  3. Create disaster plan supply kits:
    • Personal disaster kits: walking shoes, medication, out-of-state emergency contact numbers, cash, vital documents and personal hygiene supplies
    • Household disaster kits: radio, flashlight, batteries, two-weeks supply of bottled water and canned food, whistle, cooking fuel, medical supplies, blankets, tools, pet supplies and warm clothing
  4. Fix any structural weaknesses, such as:
    • Inadequate foundations and first stories
    • Unbraced walls
    • Compromised masonry
    • Vulnerable pipes
  5. During earthquakes and aftershocks:
    • Indoors: Drop, cover and hold on
    • Outdoors: Move clear of buildings, power lines and trees
    • Driving: Pull over to a safe spot away from structures
    • Stadiums: Stay in your seat
  6. After the shaking stops, check for injuries requiring immediate attention.
  7. Once safe, follow your disaster plan.

33 Haiti Oprhans find first homes

SOS Children's Villages announced today that the 33 children who were to be taken to the Dominican Republic by ten US citizens and were temporarily cared for at the SOS Village in Santo, Haiti, will be reunited with their biological families. SOS Children's Villages is a global organization that provides family based care for children without parental care, and social services for families at risk.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100205/SOSLOGO)

The children arrived at the SOS Children's Village in Santo, Haiti, on January 30th. SOS was assigned the task of temporarily caring for the 33 children by Haiti's child welfare authority IBERS (The Institut du Bien Etre Sociale et De Recherches) following the arrest of ten US nationals who attempted to transport them to the Dominican Republic under dubious circumstances.

After a lengthy process of family verification handled by IBERS, the children, aged four months to twelve years, will return home today.

"It has turned out that all of the 33 children have parents and SOS Children's Villages is convinced that in most cases, the best place for a child to be cared for and protected is within the family," said Celigny Darius, National Director of SOS Children's Villages in Haiti. "In any case, poverty and lacking resources must not be allowed to be the cause for separation. We are therefore very supportive of the decision of the Haitian authorities to reunite these children with their biological families."

During their stay, all 33 children participated in the daily life of the SOS Children's Village and have been integrated into a household. Siblings and cousins lived under the same roof and all received medical care and professional help from psychologists and SOS social workers.

After the children are reunited with their families, SOS Children's Villages will be able to provide additional support to that of IBERS and UNICEF, should it be required.

"The devastation in Haiti shed light on a very important question," said Heather Paul, CEO of SOS Children's Villages in the U.S. "What happens to children who have lost their parents during a natural disaster or civil war? The first responders must put children first…and that is what SOS Children's Villages has been doing for 60 years."

More than 400 unaccompanied and orphaned children have found their way to the safe haven of the Santo SOS Children's Village, near Port-au-Prince, since the earthquake. All are in the process of being registered in a national database, used to facilitate the tracing of relatives. Since the earthquake, SOS Children's Villages has helped reunite 65 children with their families.

In addition, the SOS Children's Villages emergency relief program in Haiti ensures a daily, home-cooked meal for 12,500 children in earthquake-affected areas of the capital. SOS is also active in NGO networks to provide further assistance to children in need.

Out of work and taxes

Many Americans found themselves out of work this past year, and high unemployment rates indicate it's still hard to find a job. If you've been out of work for some time, you may think you don't owe taxes or need to file a return, but think again. Higher amounts of unemployment compensation are taxable and there are credits that could get you money from the IRS. It's important to do a thorough job of completing your tax returns so you receive the refund you deserve or pay only what's needed. As the tax deadline nears, the Illinois CPA Society wants to be sure you're aware of these points when you file:
  1. Job hunting costs are deductible. If you accumulated expenses greater than two percent of your adjusted gross income, it may be worth the time to itemize your eligible deductions. Costs for long-distance calls, agency fees, unreimbursed travel - including mileage, lodging or other transportation for out-of-town trips - and resume printing and mailing costs, qualify as deductions. However, these deductions are not available to people looking for their first job out of college or just a different line of work.
  2. Unemployment over a certain amount is taxable, so are payments from former employers. Taxes do not have to be paid on unemployment compensation up to $2,400 per recipient, but amounts over $2,400 are still taxable. If a husband and wife both received unemployment compensation in 2009, they can each exclude $2,400. Looking ahead to next year, you can request withholding on your benefits payments if you expect to owe tax on benefits by the end of the year. Severance pay is also taxable as are any additional payments you might have received from a former employer for unused sick or vacation days.
  3. It pays to check out available credits. This year there are more credits available, so don't just skim over tax forms and fill them in as you have in the past. Do your homework at www.irs.gov and take advantage of education credits like the improved American Opportunity Tax Credit and Lifetime Learning Credit and others designed for those in a lower income bracket such as the Earned Income Tax Credit.
  4. Cancellation of Debt may add to taxable income; Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief may exclude income. If you have settled a debt for less than the amount owed, you may be subject to taxes on the forgiven amount. A taxpayer will receive a 1099-C form from a federal agency, credit union or financial institution if they have forgiven more than $600 of debt. For taxpayers in a foreclosure situation, the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act allows them to exclude income from the relief of debt on their principal residence or mortgage restructuring. You may also be able to exclude all or part of debt income that occurs in a Title 11 Bankruptcy case if you are considered insolvent. In these more complicated circumstances it might be a good idea to consult a tax professional, such as a CPA, or check what low or no-cost assistance is available in your community.
  5. The IRS has new rules on negotiating settlements. The IRS recently announced they'll be doing more to help taxpayers who are having trouble paying their taxes because of unemployment or other financial problems. Among the steps the IRS is taking are more flexibility on payment compromises, such as using current income to calculate the taxpayer's ability to pay, and "open houses" for taxpayers to work directly with the IRS employees to resolve issues. They have also created a new section on their website (www.irs.gov) which serves as a tax center to assist unemployed taxpayers, providing them with more information and resources.

It's important to file tax returns by April 15th - and not ignore collection notices - in order to get the help you need from the IRS and avoid problems with them in the future. Visit the Illinois CPA Society site – www.icpas.org - for more information about credits, deductions and other tax filing season facts, including direct links to IRS topics.

Wachovia Bank, N.A. broke the law

Wachovia Bank, N.A. (Wachovia), one of the largest banks in the United States, has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida and the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice to resolve charges that it willfully failed to establish an anti-money laundering program. Today's agreement is the result of an investigation into Wachovia's transactions with Mexican currency exchange houses, commonly known as "casas de cambio" (CDCs), announced Jeffrey H. Sloman, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Lanny A. Breuer, Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division, Mark R. Trouville, Special Agent in Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Miami Field Division, Daniel W. Auer, Special Agent in Charge, Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division (IRS-CID), John C. Dugan, Comptroller of the Currency, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and James H. Freis, Jr., Director, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The agreement also resolves Wachovia's admitted failure to identify, detect, and report suspicious transactions in third-party payment processor accounts.

A criminal information, filed March 12, 2010, and unsealed today, charges Wachovia with willfully failing to maintain an anti-money laundering program from May 2003 through June 2008, in violation of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). According to the information and other documents filed with the court today, including a detailed factual statement and a deferred prosecution agreement (the Agreement), Wachovia failed to effectively monitor for potential money laundering activity more than $420 billion in financial transactions with the CDCs.

As part of the agreement filed today, Wachovia has agreed to forfeit $110 million to the United States, which represents proceeds of illegal narcotics sales that were laundered through Wachovia. FinCEN also assessed a $110 million civil money penalty that is deemed satisfied by the forfeiture to the U.S. government, for serious and systemic BSA violations. Moreover, pursuant to the terms of the agreement and the OCC's separate Cease and Desist and Civil Money Penalty Orders, Wachovia has agreed to pay an additional $50 million fine to the U.S. Treasury. The total sum of $160 million is due within five days from the date of the agreement.

In light of Wachovia's willingness to acknowledge responsibility for its actions and omissions, its cooperation and remedial actions to date, and its promised continued cooperation and remedial actions in the future, the government has agreed to defer prosecution of the criminal charge in the information for 12 months. If Wachovia fully complies with its obligations under the agreement, the U.S. agrees to dismiss the criminal information at the end of the 12 months. Earlier today, the agreement was accepted in federal court in Miami by U.S. District Judge Joan A. Lenard.

According to the documents filed with the court, Wachovia was aware, as early as 1996 and through 2004, of the high risk that drug money was being of laundered through the CDCs. Wachovia was also aware that other U.S. banks had stopped doing business with the CDCs because of these concerns. Wachovia, however, continued to expand its business with the CDCs. Indeed, from at least May 2004 through December 2007, Wachovia provided correspondent banking services to various Mexican CDCs, including wire transfer, bulk cash, and pouch and remote deposit capture services, among others.

According to the documents, Wachovia allowed CDCs to wire transfer funds through accounts at Wachovia to recipients throughout the world. Wachovia also offered a "bulk cash" service to CDCs, through which the CDCs collected large sums of dollars that would be physically transported to the United States for deposit. In addition, Wachovia offered a "pouch" deposit service and later, a "remote deposit capture" (RDC) service, which allowed the CDCs to deposit at Wachovia items drawn on U.S. banks, including checks and traveler's checks, presented by their Mexican customers. According to the documents filed today, Wachovia did not have an effective anti-money laundering policy or procedure to monitor these transactions to detect and report potential money laundering activity, as required by the BSA. As a result, from May 1, 2004 through May 31, 2007, at least $373 billion in wire transfers were made from the CDCs to Wachovia accounts; more than $4 billion in bulk cash was transported from the CDCs in Mexico to accounts at Wachovia; and approximately $47 billion was deposited at Wachovia accounts through the RDC service. These monies included millions of dollars that were subsequently used to purchase airplanes for narcotics trafficking operations. Ultimately, more than 20,000 kilograms of cocaine were seized from these airplanes.

According to court documents, Wachovia also maintained account relationships with certain third-party payment processors for the telemarketing industry from 2003 to 2008. These processors deposited more than $418 million using remotely-created checks into Wachovia accounts on behalf of the telemarketers. Remotely-created checks are created when the holder of a checking account authorizes a payee to draw a check on that account but does not actually sign the check. In place of the account-holder's signature, the remotely-created check generally bears a statement that the customer authorized the check. These checks were often returned as "unauthorized" resulting in return rates that, in some cases, exceeded 40 percent of the deposited checks. Wachovia admitted that it failed to identify, detect, and report the suspicious transactions in the third-party payment processor accounts, as required by the BSA, due to deficiencies in its anti-money laundering program. Specifically, Wachovia failed to conduct appropriate customer due diligence by delegating most of this responsibility to business units instead of compliance personnel. Wachovia also failed to monitor high return rates for remotely-created checks and report suspicious wire transfer activity from the processors' accounts.

U.S. Attorney Jeffrey H. Sloman stated, "On the heels of the UBS international banking case, in which we held accountable the largest bank in Switzerland, today we announce the deferred prosecution of Wachovia, one of the largest banks in the United States. Wachovia's blatant disregard for our banking laws gave international cocaine cartels a virtual carte blanche to finance their operations by laundering at least $110 million in drug proceeds. Corporate citizens, no matter how big or powerful, must be held accountable for their actions. Today's historic agreement makes it clear that such conduct will not be tolerated and imposes the largest penalty in any BSA case prosecuted to date."

"As this case demonstrates, financial institutions - no matter how large - will be held accountable when they allow dirty money to pollute the U.S. banking system," said Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Criminal Division. "With billions of dollars flowing through our financial institutions each day, it is imperative that banks maintain robust anti-money laundering controls to identify possible illegal activity."

"A narcotics investigation always involves two things: drugs and money," said Mark R. Trouville, Special Agent in Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration, Miami Field Division. "DEA Agents and our law enforcement partners investigating a multi-national drug trafficking organization were able to seize drugs and identify the associated financial trail. Diligent investigative work exposed how this organization capitalized on weak anti-money laundering practices at Wachovia to further their drug trafficking abilities."

Daniel W. Auer, Special Agent in Charge of the IRS-CID in Miami, stated, "The law requires all banks, including Wachovia, to notify the Department of Treasury when they detect suspicious activity. By failing to maintain an adequate anti-money laundering program, Wachovia disregarded numerous financial transactions that should have raised "red flags" and caused their bank to act a as conduit to launder money."

"The practices targeted by today's enforcement actions reflect a totally unacceptable breakdown in the standards expected of banks' anti-money laundering systems and compliance. Today's actions by the OCC and other agencies demonstrate our firm commitment to the highest standards of compliance in this arena and the success of continued coordinated efforts by the Department of Justice, OCC, and FinCEN to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act," said John C. Dugan, Comptroller of the Currency. "Financial institutions must maintain anti-money laundering compliance programs and policies that are adequate to identify, analyze and report suspicious activity and are commensurate with the risks being undertaken. With these actions, we are sending another strong message that we will not tolerate use of the U.S. financial system to launder illegal monies."

"In the recent past, Wachovia was the fourth largest commercial bank in the United States, and held itself out as a global leader in correspondent banking," said James H. Freis, Jr., FinCEN Director. "During FinCEN's joint investigation with our law enforcement and regulatory agency partners, it became evident that, despite such a prominent role in the domestic and international banking sectors and accompanying resources, Wachovia did not institute systems, controls and other measures to manage risk commensurate with the scope and magnitude of its products, services and business lines, particularly foreign correspondent banking."

Wachovia Bank will merge into Wells Fargo Bank later this month. The Agreement binds Wells Fargo, as Wachovia's successor, to continue to implement remedial measures to fully bring Wachovia into BSA compliance.

The CDC-portion of this matter was investigated by the DEA's Miami Field Division, IRS-CID's Miami Office, FinCEN, and OCC. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Andrea G. Hoffman and Jared E. Dwyer of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida. The investigation of the third-party payment processors was prosecuted by Trial Attorneys Constantine Lizas and Matthew Haslinger of the Criminal Division's Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section. This portion of the case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, Philadelphia Field Office and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Philadelphia Division.

Congress Approves Bill Curbing Internet Tobacco Sales in Victory for Kids and Taxpayers

Kids buying smokes over the internet has become a new trend. With the risk of Cancer and other illness related to smoking, people still have a strong desire to smoke cigarettes. Well, the United States Government just passed a bill to put a stop to selling cigarettes to minors over the internet.

Voting 387 to 25, the U.S. House of Representatives today gave final congressional approval to the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act, legislation to curtail the growing sales of tax-evading, low-cost cigarettes and other tobacco products over the Internet and through the mail. Passage of this legislation is a milestone in the fight to keep kids from smoking and prevent tax evasion that costs state and federal taxpayers billions each year.

We applaud Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), the chief House sponsor, and Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI), the Senate sponsor, for their leadership and persistence in pursuing this legislation and winning its approval. The Senate unanimously approved the bill on March 11. We look forward to President Obama continuing his strong leadership on tobacco control by signing the PACT Act into law.

Internet sales of tobacco products are a serious and growing problem that keeps prices down and smoking levels up. Such sales make it easier and cheaper for kids to buy cigarettes, facilitate tax evasion and cost federal and state governments billions in revenue. Many vendors that sell cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products over the Internet or through other mail-order sales do not pay applicable tobacco taxes and do not have sufficient safeguards to prevent sales to children, such as effective policies to verify a purchaser's age.

The PACT Act will:

  • Require Internet sellers to pay all federal, state, local or Tribal tobacco taxes and affix tax stamps before delivery to any customer;
  • Mandate that the age and identification of purchasers be checked at purchase and at delivery;
  • Require Internet vendors to comply with state and local laws as if they were located in the same state as their customers;
  • Provide federal and state enforcement officials with new tools to block delivery of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products that evade federal or state laws; and
  • Ban the delivery of tobacco products through the U.S. mail.
