FIFA delays appointing anti-corruption officials

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) ? FIFA President Sepp Blatter's anti-corruption drive hit another delay on Tuesday, even as soccer's world governing body appointed the first woman to its inner circle.

FIFA pushed back plans until July to select independent outsiders who will spearhead a new investigations unit. Critics want these officials to probe past allegations of wrongdoing in their new jobs leading prosecution and judging chambers of a revamped ethics court.

However, FIFA said one candidate to chair the judging division declined on Monday for health reasons.

"In view of this, the executive committee decided to hold an extraordinary meeting to designate both chairmen together," FIFA said in a statement.

A previous promise by Blatter to identify officials who took million-dollar kickbacks from World Cup marketing deals in the 1990s has stalled since October.

FIFA's 24-man ruling committee did manage to propose Lydia Nsekera of Burundi as the first female delegate to join their ranks. She would accept an initial one-year tenure before an open election for the dedicated women's post next year.

Swiss industrialist Domenico Scala was suggested by the executive body to chair a new audit committee, which will monitor FIFA's billion-dollar annual spending.

FIFA's 208 member countries must finalize those appointments at their annual Congress on Friday. The congress will not approve leaders of a modernized ethics investigation team, which was hailed by Blatter as a "historic" move in March.

FIFA's existing ethics committee, composed of officials from inside the "football family," suspended seven serving and former members of FIFA's high command in the past 20 months.

Still, it struggled to cope with a spate of allegations of wrongdoing during bidding contests for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

The two-chamber court was requested by an expert panel led by former United Nations investigator Mark Pieth, who was picked by FIFA to advise on improving transparency and anti-corruption measures.

Pieth's 13-member group then submitted its list of candidates for lead roles which Blatter's executive committee was scheduled to present to Congress delegates.

They are expected to be leading figures from politics and civil society.

FIFA said the approved candidates and an updated code of ethics will be announced after its executive committee meets in the first week of July.

Nsekera can join that session in Zurich. She is the only female president of a national soccer federation, and a member of the International Olympic Committee.

She also serves on Pieth's reform advisory panel.

Scala brings years of experience working for Swiss biotech, pharmaceutical and food industry giants including Roche, Nestle and Syngenta.

He is also a member of the Board of Overseers of Tufts University in Boston, FIFA said.

In other decisions, FIFA will apply an insurance policy covering the salaries of players injured on national team duty to the London Olympics, instead of starting with 2014 World Cup qualifiers in September.

Uncertainty over host cities being ready for the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil has prompted FIFA and local organizers to prepare match schedules for four to six venues.

FIFA said it will "adapt smoothly to the actual situation in due time, at the latest in mid-November."

NATO to shed combat command in Afghanistan by mid-2013

NATO leaders on Monday approved a plan, promoted by the US, to shift the command of combat operations to Afghan forces by next summer. It's NATO's latest step in the transition out of a fighting role in the war.

With an eye to withdrawing their combat forces from Afghanistan by 2014, NATO leaders Monday approved a US-promoted plan to shift the command of combat operations to Afghan forces by mid-2013.

The shift, part of what President Obama called a ?phased transition ? to responsibly bring this war to an end,? is another step in the NATO alliance?s withdrawal from a fighting role in the decade-long Afghanistan war.

While the end of the Afghan war may be on the horizon for US and other international troops, that does not mean the conflict will be over in two years, regional experts say. The Taliban will remain a fighting force, they say, and the fundamental question of Afghanistan?s stability is likely to be just as uncertain then as it is today.

"This will not mark the end of Afghanistan's challenges, obviously," Mr. Obama said of the plan adopted at the summit to "transition" out of the Afghan war. But he said it is a plan for "helping the Afghans to stand on their own."

The handover of operations command to the Afghans by the middle of next year is a sign that the 28-nation alliance is accelerating its drawdown from Afghanistan, say some regional experts ? particularly as NATO faces pressure from countries, like France, that have announced plans to step up their troop withdrawals.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen rebuffed those charges at a summit-closing press conference, saying the 2013 transition to Afghan command ?does not represent an accelerated road map.?

He also cautioned that it does not mean the International Security Assistance Forces will cease to participate in combat operations ? a point the White House also emphasized in a statement.

US and other international forces ?will continue to conduct combat operations as necessary through the end of 2014,? the statement notes.?Still, ?after the mid-2013 milestone,? it continues, international forces ?will continue to evolve to reflect the new primary focus on training, advising, and assisting? the Afghan security forces.

Mr. Rasmussen said next year?s transfer of operational command to the Afghans would be a crucial step in reaching the December 2014 deadline for ending NATO?s combat role smoothly and successfully. ?It takes usually 12 to 18 months to actively implement a transition,? he said.

Military experts say the shift to Afghan command next year makes sense because it will give the US and other NATO officers time to mentor their Afghan counterparts on combat command while they are still on the ground in sufficient numbers.

Seven top tips for seeing the eclipse

During the annular eclipse, the moon will travel in front of the sun, blocking its light -- except for a so-called "ring of fire" around the edge. NBC's Lester Holt reports.

By Alan Boyle

It's time to put on your eclipse glasses, prepare your pinhole projectors or scout out a sun-watching website: The first annular solar eclipse to pass through the United States in 18 years is on its way.

The moon will start eating away at the sun's disk around 5 p.m. ET today ??although that's early Monday morning in Asia, where the eclipse begins. A wide swath of the world between south China and the American Midwest will see a partial solar eclipse, due to the moon's position between Earth and sun. And along a roughly 200-mile-wide track, skywatchers can witness a "Ring of Fire," in which just a thin ring of the sun's disk remains uncovered. There'll be no total eclipse this time around, because the moon is too far away in orbit to match the sun's apparent size. Nevertheless, it's a sight not to be missed.

Here are seven things you need to know about witnessing the eclipse:

Seeing the big picture: Solar eclipses occur when the moon, sun and Earth line up closely enough for the moon to throw its shadow on earthly locations. Annular eclipses, which create that fiery ring around the moon, are actually rarer than total eclipses because the moon has to be relatively far away in its orbit. Check out this interactive for the graphic details.

Seeing it in Asia: The moon's shadow races eastward across Earth's surface at more than 2,000 mph, starting in China's southern Guangxi Province. Theoretically, the "Ring of Fire" could be visible after 6 p.m. ET over Asian urban centers such as Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macau, Taipei, Osaka and Tokyo. But for many of those cities, the weather outlook isn't that great: Cloudy skies or even thundershowers are in the forecast.

Seeing it in America: The partial eclipse begins over the U.S. West Coast and Canada around 8 p.m. ET, and even earlier in Alaska. Skywatchers in portions of Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas can witness the "Ring of Fire" effect at its peak after 9 p.m. ET. As you go farther east, sunset becomes the limiting factor. The U.S. East Coast, for example, will miss out on all phases of the eclipse. Consult NASA's clickable map to find out what will be visible from your locale. The times are listed as UTC, so subtract five hours for Central Daylight Time, six hours for Mountain Time, and seven hours for Pacific Time. Don't forget to check the weather, too.

Seeing it safely: Experts emphasize that you should never gaze at the sun without appropriate eye protection, even when the solar disk is almost completely blocked by the moon during an annular eclipse. You can look at the sun through specially designed eclipse-viewing glasses, or through welder's glass. Those are in short supply now, but you might still be able to find the right equipment at national parks, science centers and other eclipse hot spots. You can also create a pinhole projector with supplies as simple as a sheet of paper, aluminum foil and a box. Or you can just look at the weird crescent-shaped and ring-shaped patterns created when sunlight streams through the trees. Check out this safety guide for more tips.

Seeing it online: If you're outside the eclipse zone, or if cloudy skies spoil your view, you can still choose from more than a dozen webcasts that are promising to follow the phenomenon. If one webcast isn't working, try another. Here's a list of the webcasts we've come across.

Sharing what you see: If you're a Twitter user, you'll want to use a hashtag like #eclipse, #eclipse2012 or #annulareclipse to let the world know about your sky sighting. And if you snap a great picture of the eclipse, won't you please share it with us, via?Twitter or Instagram?or Facebook? Flag your submission with the #EclipseMSNBC hashtag. We have an extra special option for DSLR users: Just upload your images using the drag-and-drop feature on this PhotoBlog page.?

Seeing the next sky spectacular: The annular eclipse is a treat, but it's not the end of this year's big sky shows. If you have the right equipment ? for example, a telescope or a pair of binoculars equipped with solar filters?? you can watch the June 5 transit of Venus. (This will be the last such transit until 2117.) There's a total solar eclipse coming up on Nov. 13 that can be seen from Australia and the Pacific, as well as via the Internet. And in five years, totality will make a huge splash across the United States, for the first time since 1979. Sunday's event will provide good practice for all these coming attractions. ?

NASA's ScienceCast explains the why, when, where and how of the May 20 annular solar eclipse.

Come Home To Me (OOC)

Name: Regina Marylou Williamson
Age: Twenty-five
Personality: Regina has a confidence that spills over, and a lightness that brightens a room. Regina is the kind of girl that never sits still, there are only some sheer bliss moment when she is calm and collected. She's flirtatious, always holding hands, patting shoulders, kissing cheeks. Regina says sweet little things and prefers to whisper in one's ear, just to set a mood. She'd rather have physical affection than hear someone say that they love her. She's spirited, and does things on a whim without thinking about the consequences. However carefree and erratic she may appear she's got a guilty bit that eats away at her whenever she's found a sad moment alone.
Occupation: Secretary during the war ;; Housewife
Background: Regina wasn't an original part of the gang. Unlike the rest of these old timers she was born in a neighboring town. Regina was born to George and Helena Buckley, and grew up with younger brother named Tanner. She was awful bit of a sister, never staying in one place long enough to show him the beautiful and simple ways of life. He was her parents child, and she was some kind of wild thing they ended up with. She got into more trouble than she ever bargained for, and yet she was still labeled the golden girl. Beautiful, bright, happy. That's all that matters right? Regina and Tanner were never close, and the distance doesn't help. He is now a lawyer in D.C, and they rarely have ten words between each other in a year. As for her parents, they neither want to speak to her again, nor do they wish to see their grandchildren when the time comes.

Her father was the mayor of this town she comes from and George was always expecting more for her husband. Some rich CEO, a politician, a doctor. Anything connected to money, or anything that would get him ahead in his career. He was never a fair man. If things didn't go the his way, there would be hell to pay. He was never physically abusive, but he knew every which way to make anyone feel guilty. He was a master at deception and wasn't afraid to use his skills. He was a true politician.

Being the wanderer that Regina is, she married Guy 2. Purposely going against her father's will. Sometimes people wonder if she married him to do just that; to shove her parents away. On the day of the wedding, only her brother sat on the bride's side of the chapel. Her mother came later during the reception; made a scene, but that's another story. That was when she was truly happy, newly married. The big white beautiful dress, tied up hair, the whole deal. Then she moved to Guy 2's hometown.

At first the move was tough. The only people she knew in town were Guy 2's parents, and she wasn't about to spend all her free-time with them.. It wasn't that she wasn't fond of them, Regina just got nervous around them. But eventually she grew close with the neighbors, and now her best girlfriend is Evie. After all, when the war started they depended on each other for everything. Guy 2 was gone and Evie's suitors were all gone along as well. At times the girls would even spend weeks at a time together, taking turns cooking and telling long dramatic stories about their childhoods.
Other: Regina loves to slow dance and will take any opportunity to have that closeness. Her parents spent a load sum of money on piano lessons for her as a child, and she's a wonderful pianist. She only plays when she got something on her mind though, or if someone coaxed her into it. She takes special care of her wedding ring, and wears in everywhere, even when she with Guy 3.

I think she's done for now. I'll add in some details about the affair once we get our #3.

From A Disrupt Win To $18M In Funding And 4M+ Downloads, Soluto Tells All

Disrupt NYC 2012 begins in approximately 12 hours (tickets here). But it's been two years since Soluto, the software that will make your computer simply run better, took home the Disrupt Cup at the TC Disrupt NYC Battlefield in 2010. The company entered the competition with a total of $7.8 million, and after walking away with the $50,000 round, secured another $10.2 million in Series B from Index Ventures for a total of $18 million in funding under their belts. It's been a wild ride, starting with about 400 users as the then-stealth company stepped on stage, and only a few days later they were dealing with hundreds of thousands of users. In fact, CEO and co-founder Tomer Dvir said that the platform almost had trouble dealing with all the data being sent back by the flood of new users. But, in his own words, "Disrupt is one of the best ways to release." Here's the interview I had with Mr. Dvir in its entirety:

Construction industry showing pulse

by Jahna Berry - May. 19, 2012 02:11 PM
The Republic | azcentral.com

The Great Recession swung a wrecking ball through Arizona's construction industry, but this key sector -- with some help from rising consumer spending and stronger home prices -- has begun to recover.

Residential- and commercial-construction jobs long have been the backbone of the state economy, which traditionally has relied on spending from new residents to help create jobs.

As shoppers gradually spend more at stores and return to car dealerships, they also have begun to spend on housing. Home prices are up, and owners are making repairs and upgrades.

Many of the new construction jobs are in specialty trades, such as plumbing and drywall, state economist Aruna Murthy said.

The construction industry has a lot of rebuilding ahead. It lost 74,600 jobs in 2009 and 2010, according to state figures. It gained 200 jobs in 2011 and is forecast to gain 5,900 this year, she said.

Job growth

Arizona's April jobless rate was 8.2 percent, down from 8.6 percent from March. The state jobless rate is higher than the U.S. unemployment rate in April -- 8.1 percent -- but Arizona's is falling at a faster clip. In April, Arizona had 46,000 more jobs than it had in the same month the year before.

Jobless claims

The number of workers who filed for jobless benefits for the first time fell in March by more than 3,000 compared with the same month in 2011, an 11 percent decline. For three years in a row, March first-time jobless claims have fallen. It's a sign that the pace of layoffs has slowed.

Motor-vehicle sales

February car and truck sales, which are reported in March, were brisk in Arizona. Dealers rang up $515 million in sales, up nearly 16 percent from February 2011. Vehicle sales through 2011 surpassed 2010 numbers every month. Strong 2012 sales may repeat that trend.

Retail sales

Arizona shoppers continued gradually to spend more money. February sales, which are reported in March, climbed to $4 billion. That figure is 7 percent higher than what consumers spent during February 2011. Consumer spending is closely watched, because it helps generate jobs.

Gasoline prices

The price of a gallon of fuel fell 7 cents in April, to $3.83, after three months of increases. That's slightly higher than the national average of $3.80. This chart shows the average statewide gas price in AAA Arizona's April fuel report; it doesn't include any price fluctuations since that time.

Bashir says Sudan, South need peace: Mbeki

Sudan and South Sudan need peace and Khartoum is committed to all security agreements it has signed, African Union mediator Thabo Mbeki on Saturday quoted the Sudanese leader as saying after talks.

"President Bashir confirmed that he believes the two nations... are in need of peace," Mbeki said in a statement following a meeting with Omar al-Bashir.

The meeting capped two days of talks with Sudanese officials as Mbeki tries to push Sudan and South Sudan back to negotiations, which were suspended after border fighting last month.

He was expected to continue his diplomacy in the South Sudanese capital Juba on Sunday.

Sudan and South Sudan did not comply with a United Nations Security Council demand that they resume the talks by last Wednesday, but Mbeki and other diplomats were nonetheless trying to get negotiations restarted.

The South has said it is ready to talk and accused Khartoum of stalling.

The May 2 Security Council resolution made a number of other demands in an effort to avert a "serious threat to international peace and security" caused by the situation along their disputed border.

It called on both sides to establish a "Safe Demilitarised Border Zone" of 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) and jointly begin monitoring the frontier, in line with agreements made about a year ago.

"President Bashir confirmed that Sudan is committed to all security agreements that have been agreed to," Mbeki said.

"This means Sudan is committed to have a buffer zone on the border between the two states, 10 kilometres on each side, and also Sudan is committed to have a joint mechanism for monitoring the border and the buffer zone."

Although South Sudan said it had pulled back its forces according to the UN's call, Khartoum's foreign ministry said the border must be agreed to before a withdrawal can occur.

The UN resolution, however, says its demand "in no way prejudices" negotiations over disputed areas, and border demarcation.

The resolution gave Sudan and South Sudan two days to cease hostilities and two weeks to unconditionally resume negotiations. It threatened sanctions if its demands are ignored.

"Now we are doing the preparations for the negotiations to solve the pending issues," Mbeki said.

Following months of AU-led talks, Sudan withdrew from the process after South Sudanese troops seized the north's main oil region of Heglig on April 10.

A subsequent 10-day occupation coincided with Sudanese air raids on South Sudanese territory, leading to fears of wider war.

The talks aim to settle critical issues left unresolved after the South's separation in July last year following a 1983-2005 civil war.

These include oil payments, the status of each country's citizens resident in the other, the status of the contested Abyei region, and resolution of disputed and "claimed" border areas as well as demarcation of the frontier.

Mbeki arrived in Khartoum Thursday night as the UN Security Council made a new demand that Sudan "immediately" withdraw all troops from Abyei, which it occupied one year ago.

Withdrawal from Abyei was one of the demands under the May 2 Security Council resolution, but Sudan said it will leave the area only after a joint administration for the territory has been set up.

South Sudan, which withdrew its forces from Abyei as demanded, says Khartoum is blocking the creation of that administration.

Khartoum accuses South Sudan of backing a major insurgency in South Kordofan state, as well as in Blue Nile, but Juba denies the charge and accuses Khartoum of supporting insurgents south of the border.

The UN ordered both sides to stop the practice.

"President Bashir confirmed that the two countries have to stop supporting the rebels on each side," Mbeki said.

Ibrahim Gandour, foreign affairs chief of Sudan's ruling National Congress Party, confirmed that Sudan wants to have the buffer zone but he also repeated a demand that Southern troops allegedly on Sudanese soil must withdraw.

"We confirm that solving the security issues is the top priority," he said at the briefing with Mbeki.

Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi is due in Sudan on Sunday for talks with Bashir focused on relations with South Sudan, deputy Arab League chief Ahmed Ben Hilli said in Cairo.

Three Ts of Business Innovation Leadership

Gartner analysts see many CIOs and IT leaders who are frustrated that they are unable to lead technology related innovation in their companies. IT is too often pushed back into a supplicant role. So I?m always on the lookout for examples of people in business who are really breaking through walls of disinterest and cynicism, against the odds ? to see how they are doing it.

I recently had the opportunity to chat briefly with the CEO of a company that is trying to advance human spaceflight (no ? it wasn?t Richard Branson).? Now that?s a tough sell. I mean, many of us may fantasize about going into space one day .. but we don?t really believe it will happen. Imagine you had to sell the idea that it can be a reality. That it is worth funding. That government should take it seriously. That one day space tourism could be a major industry.. not easy. But this gentleman is making quiet progress.? So I asked him how. What would he say to other leaders seeking to learn from his technique. The answers he gave me boiled down to three things.

Tenacity. He pointed out that he has been pursuing the same direction for thirty years.? We all know how easy it is to give up in the face of others disinterest. He just keeps going. Maybe you are a bit ahead of people. One day the time will be right for your idea. Don?t walk away from it. One thing I have learned from watching Hype Cycles over the last 20 years .. is that most SciFi sounding ideas in IT become everyday realities in the end.

Talent. He says that whenever he needs to convince people, he invites them to the company site and they go away mightily impressed. But it is not because of what they see, it?s because of who they meet. He looks hard for truly talented people to join the firm ? and visitors can?t help but to be impressed and a little more convinced that what he?s suggesting really can be done.
Do you take the same approach ? really? Are you ?filling slots? or searching for the best talent you can get?

Team. To make real progress, he bonds the team tightly. They share a lot. They visit each others families. There is a sense of mission, not just ?a good place to work?.? If you want to really innovate ? that is a very important factor. People must build in tight collaboration and they must have zealous intent. That way they convince each other and the rest of the world that what they are saying can be done is not only feasible ? it will be done.

You don?t have to convince people to build a space port for a future space tourism industry. Maybe you ?only? have to convince your business to take mobile apps, gamification or the Internet of Things seriously.? I reckon some of this ?three Ts? thinking might help.

Countdown To Personal Debt Consolidation. | Home Finance Help

The Five Step Plan.

Joe had a problem?he needed to take charge of his personal debt consolidation, but he simply didn?t know where to start.

Are you in the same situation?

Do you have creditors calling you, or do you want to clean up your credit so that you?ll be able to purchase a home in the future?

If so, don?t despair?instead read our five step plan for taking charge of your personal debt consolidation today!

Personal Debt Consolidation. Countdown To Personal Debt Consolidation.

Your first step is to stop spending! That?s right, you should cut down on buying anything (other than the essentials, like rent, food, etc), and only buy something if it is an absolute emergency.

Next, you?ll need to analyze your situation. You should list all of your debts, from the ones with the highest interest rates, down to the lowest. The ones on the top of that list should be your highest priority because all of that interest is literally eating away your money!

Figure out how much you can realistically afford to pay every month as your next step, and then put it in writing. You have to commit to this amount each and every month in order for your personal debt consolidation plan to succeed.
Now, it?s time for action. Begin by paying all of your monthly payments, and then whatever is leftover from your committed payment amount, put it towards that high interest debt. Do this every month until that loan is paid off.

Whew! You?ve finally got the highest interest rate debt paid off, but don?t slack off now! Go back to your list and find the second highest interest rate debt, and begin to put all of your extra available money toward that one.

Do this debt by debt until, finally, you are debt free!

Gov. Nikki Haley says South Carolina Senate must cut more taxes ...

Associated Press

COLUMBIA ? South Car?o?lina Gov. Nikki Haley called on senators Tuesday to cut more taxes in their 2012-13 state spending plan as debate opened on the chamber floor ? a demand the Senate?s financial leader called a political resume booster.

The Republican governor said the Senate must incorporate $93 million worth of income tax cuts in the Finance Committee?s $6.6 billion proposal to prove to residents and small businesses that they?re the priority.

The plan already includes one of the two bills Haley is demanding. It reduces the income taxes that small business owners pay on their profits. That four-year phase-in is expected to reduce revenue by $15 million next year and $65 million annually when fully implemented.

Asked about that, Haley said she appreciated that inclusion, but felt it doesn?t go nearly far enough. Haley insisted the Senate also include a second tax-cutting bill the House passed last month, which collapses personal income taxes from seven brackets to three. It doesn?t take effect until 2013, but Haley said the $78 million should be set aside now.

At a Statehouse news conference, Haley likened South Carolina lawmakers to Congress and said they should learn from the budget crisis caused by the Great Recession: ?Don?t spend it all.?

Senate Finance Chairman Hugh Leatherman said they?re not. He noted the budget plan already includes $752 million in tax relief, most of which comes off the top of tax collections due to previously passed laws, as well as $395 million set aside in reserves ? nearly $60 more put in a rainy-day fund than state law requires this year.

?That?s not the way to look at things,? Leatherman, R-Florence, said of Haley?s spend-it-all assertion. ?When I look at a budget, I won?t do tax relief to build a political resume. If I do it, I think it?s good policy.?

Haley, who campaigned both in- and out-of-state for Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, has been mentioned as a possible running mate, though she has repeatedly said she would reject any job offer from him.

Leatherman said pride comes in meeting needs across the state, not in tax cuts expected to provide less than $100 per tax filer.

The Finance Committee wrapped up work on its plan after the Board of Economic Advisors certified that more money is coming into state coffers than projected. Haley has said any excess should either pay down debt or be returned to taxpayers. On Tuesday, she likened the additional $292 million in one-time and recurring money to both a tree and a piece of meat.

?The House never gets the money tree,? she said. ?The Senate always gets the money tree. When that money tree falls, it is like a pack of wolves on a steak, and I?m telling you that steak belongs to the taxpayers.?

Compared to the House plan passed in March, the proposal being debated in the Senate includes higher raises to state workers, more money for special needs students, more new school buses, more deferred maintenance at public colleges, more law enforcement officers, and more college tuition aid.

Both the House and Senate plans provide state workers their first pay raise in four years, set aside $180 million to pay South Carolina?s full cost of deepening the Charleston harbor, provide $77 million in business tax relief through unemployment insurance, and add $153 million to a key education funding source that increases the per-student allocation to $2,012.

Haley said her executive budget provides senators a path for cutting more taxes.

Many of Haley?s recommendations are incorporated into legislators? plans. Haley recommended, for example, adding dozens of law enforcement officers, increasing money for mental health services and providing health insurance through Medicaid for 80,000 additional children. Key differences are that she provided for no pay raises, put $25 million toward state ports, put no money toward the unemployment insurance trust fund, and decreased education spending. Rather than reduce taxes for small businesses, her proposal called for eliminating corporate income taxes over four years.
