The IRS has just announced an Offshore Voluntary Offshore
Disclosure Program for 2011. Under the program if you have
failed to file past US tax returns or report foreign assets,
you can reduce the penalties and eliminate the possibility
of criminal prosecution. The IRS Commissioner also
announced stronger and tougher enforcement against expats,
unfiled returns and undisclosed foreign assets in the
future. He mentioned the many programs they currently are
conducting in foreign countries to discover bank accounts
and other foreign assets that US Citizens have not disclosed
on filed tax returns. Read more at

QUESTIONS
a. I was recently in Los Barriles as race director for the
Lord of the wind Shodwown. I had a great time there by the
way. Back in Scotland now and the sun is just coming up
which I can see just above the horizon as I look out my
bedroom window. Anyway, I was in touch with Wylie and asked
him if he had any photo's of the arroyo's in full flow. I
would imagine it can be pretty dramatic! Wylie pointed
me towards bajapony express3 but
when I went to that site there were no photo's or blogs. If
you have a link to any I would really appreciate a viewing.
Thank you from Scotland

increase the distance of the wireless signal? Ed
