and 1,600 rounds per officer,
while the U.S. Army goes through roughly 350 rounds per soldier.He noted
that is "roughly 1,000 rounds more per person.""Their officers use what
seems to be an exorbitant amount of ammunition," he said.Nick Nayak, chief
procurement officer for the Department of Homeland Security, did not challenge
Chaffetz's numbers.However, Nayak sought to counter what he described as
several misconceptions about the bullet buys.Despite reports that the department
was trying to buy up to 1.6 billion rounds over five years,
he said that is not true. He later clarified that the number
is closer to 750 million.He said the department, on average, buys roughly
100 million rounds per year.He also said claims that the department is
stockpiling ammo are "simply not true." Further, he countered claims that
the purchases are helping create broader ammunition shortages in the U.S.The
department has long said it needs the bullets for agents in training
and on duty, and buys in bulk to save money.While Democrats likened
concerns about the purchases to conspiracy theories, Republicans raised
concern about the sheer cost of the ammunition."This is not about conspiracy
theories, this is about good government," Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said.Rep.
Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who chairs the full Oversight and Government Reform
Committee, said he suspects rounds are being stockpiled, and then either
"disposed of," passed to non-federal agencies, o
ies to collect sales taxes if the store has a physical
presence in the state. As a result, many online sales are essentially
tax-free, giving Internet retailers an advantage over brick-and-mortar stores.While
Republicans generally oppose higher taxes -- and agreed to an increase on
top earners as part of the fiscal crisis deal only after negotiating
a narrower hike than the administration originally envisioned -- supporters
of the Internet sales tax bill insist it is not a tax
increase.Instead, they say, the bill merely provides states with a mechanism
to enforce current taxes."This bill has nothing to do with imposing any
kind of new tax or revenue generator," said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn.
"What this law does is allow states that already have laws on
the books to carry out the implementation of those" laws."South Dakota Gov.
Dennis Daugaard, a Republican, called it a "matter of equity and fairness.""The
same people who are selling the same products should be paying the
same taxes," he said.Supporters say the bill is about fairness for businesses
and lost revenue for states.But opponents say it would impose complicated
regulations on retailers and doesn't have enough protections for small businesses.
Businesses with less than $1 million a year in online sales would
be exempt.While online giant Amazon has come around to the tax, major
online retailers like eBay are strongly opposing it.Many of the nation's
governors -- Republicans and De

<p style="font-size:xx-small;"> The office in charge of implementing President Obamas health care law is
being spared from sequestration cuts and furloughs. Gary Cohen, director
of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, said Wednesday
his office was not forced to cut worker hours due to the
across-the-board spending cuts that rolled out in March, The Hill reported.Republicans
have accused the Obama administration of cherry-picking projects and agencies
that would be slapped hardest by sequestration. Most recently, furloughing
FAA workers have caused massive delays at airports across the country.Rep.
Greg Harper, R-Miss., reportedly said the fact that ObamaCare officials
havent had their hours cuts highlights the political nature of the cuts."We're
talking about at least a 15 percent furlough of current air-traffic controllers,
resulting in delays and perhaps safety concerns, but yet this has been
a selective political item by the administration," Harper said.Cohen maintains
his office is still feeling the pinch because they are under a
hiring freeze but Harper said during an Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee
hearing that he wasn't buying it.Click for more from The Hill.

I did not want to do, Niko, who has been back in
Pennsylvania for more than a month, told FoxNews.com.A world away, he had
a determined mother who would spare no expense and even risk her
own safety to save her boy. After a torturous struggle that included
false leads, false hopes and more than $100,000 spent, Kalli Atteya finally
showed what the love and determination of a mom can doI was
really nervous, but I was bound and determined to take my son,
she told FoxNews.com during an interview in Chambersburg, Pa., near where
Atteya and her son now live.With the help of a local guide,
the 45-year-old mother had tracked her only child and her ex-husband, a
man she had married more than a dozen years earlier, after meeting
him at the Harrisburg, Pa., restaurant where he worked as a dishwasher.
Mohamed Atteya, 38, who speaks Arabic, English and Chinese, and is wanted
