Trayvon Martin PSAs: Chaka Khan, Other Celebrities, Ordinary People Pay Tribute to Slain Teen

A pair of videos - one featuring celebrities, one starring ordinary people - have surfaced online as public service announcements and tributes to Trayvon Martin.

In the first, singer Chaka Khan enlisted the help of celebrity friends Kelly Price, Eric Benét, Eva Pigford, Kenny Latimore, Terry Crews, Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine and Kimberly Elise for a public service announcement for Trayvon Martin:

Chaka Khan - Super Life (Trayvon Martin Tribute)

Donning a black hoodie, Chaka sings “A mama’s cryin’ ’cause another young man has gone and died. He’s not some statistic. He’s an awesome destiny denied.”

In a second video, filmmakers from Newark, N.J., assembled 30 African-American males to lend their voices to speak out on the Trayvon Martin case and the way they believe black men are being perceived in the media and society.

They, too, wear hooded sweatshirts as audio of a 911 dispatcher speaking to George Zimmerman, and Geraldo Rivera's comments, play in the background:

Trayvon Martin PSA

These tributes are moving, however, some have suggested that Martin becoming a national symbol and media obsession has indirectly led to bias against George Zimmerman, who claims self-defense and has not been charged with a crime.

Do you agree?

Home Improvement Tips That Can Work For Anyone :: Multiverso ...

There are many home improvement jobs that you don?t need to hire a professional to do if you take the time to learn how to do them yourself. This article offers invaluable advice for improving every area of your home.

Are you thinking about starting a home improvement project? For inspiration, look at the artwork potential in items you have already, and save money as well. Purchase neat frames that coordinate with your decor.

A little wallpaper can add appeal and distinction to your bookcase. Choose a design that is different and eye catching. Place the wallpaper behind your bookcase, then you will see the design as you stack books. This can really tie the room together and make a very nice aesthetic look.

Don?t neglect your porch when doing home improvements. When someone comes to your house it will be the first thing they see, giving them an impression of what lays inside. Take away any junk strewn about, add a fresh coat of varnish, and try adding little touches like furniture, flowers, and lighting. This can increase the property value of your home.

Don?t start on your kitchen or bathroom re-do project without first turning off the water supply. Whenever you will be working with pipes or the water supply, find the shutoff valve before you begin. This will make sure you don?t flood your house.

Sort your tools in various toolboxes by project. If you have a plumbing project, keep all tools related to plumbing in a separate box. Another box could be used for electric projects, and might include items such as fuses, zip ties, or electrical tape. When you have your supplies organized, you will have no problem finding what you need to complete any home improvement project.

When you are planning to do home improvement projects, do plumbing and wiring first. Because these are the most internal issues you will address, it seems logical to work from the inside out. If you have your walls open already it will make it easy to do any other renovations.

A good tip is to put some insulation on your plumbing, so that your water will stay hot in the lines and will not freeze during winter weather. Weatherizing tape, which you apply to your pipes, is simple to find in most hardware and home improvement stores. If you can prevent your pipes from freezing in the first place, then you won?t have to fix a burst pipe.

If you decide to renovate a kitchen or bath, be sure to substitute old sheet rock with drywall specifically made to resist water. Water-resistant wall board referred to as ?green board? is made to resist moisture and also to prevent dangerous mold from forming.

A nice front door will not only look inviting, but it can potentially up the value of your property by 10%. If you want to add a bit of pizzazz to your front door, update its knob and lock with one of the dozens of styles on the market.

Now that you?ve seen these ideas and tips, you should be more prepared to start off your own home improvement projects. You can make your dream home a reality, take care of your own maintenance issues, and deal with any home-related crisis, if you just learn a little about it.

Osaka University wants to shake your hand with its robotic glove (video)

Feel like you aren't connecting with the people you video chat with? A team from Osaka University has developed a robotic hand that'll start a chat by gripping your paw with the warmth and firmness of a rugby player. Assembled from silicone and sponge, the researchers fitted a film heater to keep the electrical extremity at 37 degrees Celsius -- the theory being that if its warmer than your own hand, you're more predisposed toward it. Future plans for the mechanical metacarpus include adding a pressure sensor so it'll match your grip and welding it to a telepresence robot for executives to harass their colleagues with a constant stream of formal greetings. If you're wondering, the answer's yes; we do have footage of terrified exhibition guests giving it a go after the break.

Analysis: Gas price spike revives fight over energy taxes

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil, the world's most profitable corporation, says it paid more than 45 percent of its 2011 income in taxes, while critics say it paid much less.

So which is it?

The answer is that it depends on how the calculation is made and who is making it - a point that is becoming more important as gasoline prices and oil company profits soar.

Energy industry taxes are again a political issue, with just months to go before the November 6 congressional and presidential elections. President Barack Obama says he wants to kill $40 billion in tax breaks enjoyed by giants such as Exxon, Chevron and Conoco.

"Oil companies are making more money right now than they've ever made," Obama said earlier this month.?"On top of the money they're getting from you at the gas station every time you fill up, they want some of your tax dollars as well."

But the companies say they already pay among the highest corporate tax rates.

"We're the highest taxed industry that I'm aware of," Chevron Chief Executive John Watson said earlier this month.

The difference between the effective tax rate cited by Exxon and lower rates cited by groups such as Citizens for Tax Justice, a left-leaning tax activist group, has several causes.

One is that the company counts foreign taxes paid, while Citizens for Tax Justice does not. Another is that Exxon counts deferred taxes, as well, but the consumer group does not. Still another is which profits are counted by the company and critics.

There are other technical variations shaping the calculations of effective tax rates, but these subtleties are often lost in the sound bites of the ongoing tax policy debate.

Depending on your perspective, oil industry tax breaks are either a vital part of reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil or a giveaway to rich and powerful corporations. Politicians from both parties play regularly on these themes.

Either way, as lawmakers slowly move toward revamping the U.S. tax code for the first time in 25 years, the oil industry's tax breaks and tax rates are under growing scrutiny.

Democrats in the Senate on Monday will begin debate on repealing the tax breaks. There is little chance of repeal happening now, but the issue will carry into the campaign.

Republican presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum have blasted Obama for over-regulating the industry.

The next big action on taxes is expected at the end of the year, coinciding with the December 31 expiration of individual tax rates enacted under Republican President George W. Bush.

"That will be crazy and chaotic and anything can happen in that kind of scenario," said Jim Lucier, an analyst at institutional investor advisory Capital Alpha Partners.

GRAPHIC-Big Oil's tax rates http://link.reuters.com/hyk37s

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^>

BIG OIL EARNS BIG

Four of the five biggest oil companies ranked among the top 10 most profitable companies in 2011, according to Fortune, with collective profits of about $80 billion. BP Plc, beset by costs from the Gulf oil spill, had losses, bringing down the average.

The biggest oil companies' tax rates are relatively high when the foreign taxes that they pay are included. On a U.S.-only basis, their rates vary.

There are many ways to calculate how much a company actually pays in U.S. taxes. One roadblock to making independent tax rate estimates is that tax filings are confidential, and filings with securities regulators use a different accounting method.

"Most of what they are putting on their financial statements doesn't really tie to what they are putting into their tax returns," said George Yin, a former chief of staff at the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation.

When calculating the headline tax rates it displays to the public, the industry lumps together U.S. and foreign taxes. It includes taxes that are deferred and thus not paid yet. U.S. companies must pay taxes on profits earned abroad, but they can defer these taxes until they bring the cash into the country.

That is the method behind the American Petroleum Institute's 41 percent estimate for the industry as a whole.

Citizens for Tax Justice considers U.S. profits and U.S. taxes paid only. By that measure, Exxon Mobil paid 13 percent of its U.S. income in taxes after deductions and benefits in 2011, according to a Reuters calculation of securities filings.

Chevron paid about 19 percent by that method, near CTJ's average for all industries.

It is a far cry from the 35 percent top corporate tax rate.

Still, the three-year average for telecom companies is 8 percent; for information technology services companies, it is 2.5 percent, according to CTJ.

"A lot of the techniques that multinationals use to reduce taxes are simply not available to big energy companies," said Howard Gleckman, a fellow at the Tax Policy Center, a centrist think tank.

BIG OIL LACKS IP EDGE

One way big technology and drug companies cut U.S. taxes is by shifting intellectual property income to lower-tax countries. Oil and gas companies, in general, don't benefit from that.

Bob McIntyre, president of Citizens for Tax Justice, said the fact that oil companies still drill in high-tax countries like Saudi Arabia proves they will keep drilling if their U.S. taxes go up. "Their foreign tax rates are very high, and they don't leave Saudi Arabia," McIntyre said.

One major tax break for energy companies is a nearly century-old benefit letting them deduct "intangible drilling costs" (IDC) immediately rather than over time.

Most of the IDC is for the labor costs of drilling a well.

Legislation drafted by Democratic Senator Robert Menendez would limit this break, among others. Ending it completely would raise $14 billion over a decade, according to the White House.

Energy companies liken this benefit to the research and development tax break employed by companies like Apple Inc.

"All the labor (that) tech companies spend on research and development, everything that Apple spends designing the next new product, they recover," said Brian Johnson, a tax expert at the American Petroleum Institute. "Cost recovery is cost recovery."

Not exactly. Many tax experts across the political spectrum said the IDC is a clear exception made for oil. As a rule, expenses that produce income in the future are not immediately deductible.

LITTLE OIL

Most oil companies are not as big as Exxon or Chevron. Mid-sized, independent producers include Devon Energy Corp and Chesapeake Energy Corp. These companies get even more generous benefits than the giants.

Indeed, the Center for Tax Justice finds Devon recorded a 5.5 percent three-year average tax rate and Chesapeake had an 8.1 percent average over the period.

"What is absolutely critical is the profound distinction between little oil and big oil - the smaller companies receive pretty generous breaks," said economist Alan Viard of the conservative American Enterprise Institute.

For example, the so-called percentage depletion allowance lets these mid-sized companies take an annual 15 percent deduction for depletion of oil and gas resources in the ground, instead of deducting the decline in value over time.

Obama wants to repeal this benefit as well.

The biggest oil companies don't get this benefit. Viard called it an "indefensible loophole."
