How Will the Fiscal Cliff Affect Your Paycheck?
These days it is hard to make it through the day without hearing about the Fiscal Cliff.
With congress and the president still unable to come to grip with the looming deficit deadline, financial experts say a fiscal disaster may soon hit the national government.
But what does that mean for you?
It's not an easy answer.
With congress and the president unable to agree it looks like massive spending cuts and tax hikes are becoming more of a reality.
With Washington in grid lock millions of Americans watch anxiously to see how it will all affect their pocketbooks and their local economies.
Certified Public Accountant Randy Greenway says income earners should prepare for a big hit and so should government run programs
"It's going to impact Texoma because there is going to be significant reductions in spending that have come about as a result of things that were put in place for budgetary reasons in 2012, 2011-2012," he said.
The president and congress continue to talk, but it remains uncertain if they can come to an agreement before mandatory cuts take effect.
And the uncertainty makes it difficult for companies and individuals to plant for the coming year.
If no decisions are made the so called bush tax cuts and other taxes and exemptions will expire.
The highest income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent.
Social security taxes on paychecks will also go up 2 percent from 4.2 to 6.2 percent.
And a tax will be imposed on high income brackets to pay for the new Affordable Care Act.
The tax policy center estimates that the income tax bill for the average middle class household will increase by two thousand dollars.
And while Greenway says there is little you can do to prepare for those hikes besides figuring out what you might be able to cut from your own budget he says higher income brackets are already planning ahead.
"They need to do some serious planning with regard to do you accelerate income into 2012, defer deductions into 2013 in order to minimize your tax liability in 2012 and 2013," he said.
How will it affect average Americans?

Former India Women cricketer Diana Edulji on Tuesday heaped praise on squash players Dipika Pallikal and Joshna Chinappa, who won gold medals in women's doubles in the recently-concluded Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2014 in Glasgow.
Diana said she was closely following the match. "In fact, I was on BBM constantly, with my closest friend of 40 years, Dipika's mother, Susan Pallikal," Diana was quoted as saying by Mid-Day. Diana revealed that she is a friend of Dipika's mother, Susan, who is also a former Indian Women cricketer.
Diana claimed that she did not know much about the sport till the time she started following Dipika. "I feel so proud that my friend's daughter has this huge achievement now to her credit. I did not understand the sport well then, but since following Dipika's game, I have started understanding it well and I must say it is a back-bending sport," she added.
Diana said that Dipika and Joshna's feat should be recognised by the country.

Positive outlook in the Australian job market
Whether you've just graduated from university or just a professional looking for a shift in career or a change in scenery, Australia may just offer you that place you're looking for. Living in Australia is not hard for new comers as long as you can speak the English language, you'll survived.
Australia is a highly industrialized country providing its people with a steady economy after the recession it suffered from the 1980s. Despite the great recession the world in the west is suffering now, Australia is still right on tracks providing decent jobs for its people with just a 5.2% unemployment rate since last December 2011. The number went down from a couple of notches from its average of 7.9%; is still set to get lower still when it can stabilize itself more on the worldwide recession occurrence. The country was the first to leave the world economic crisis in this early decade of the 21st century.
Australia is well known for its mining industry where it took a significant part in the country's job market, with trading activities around the Pacific rims, China, Japan and the United States this serves as important ties for the Australian economy. That's why they hire lots of overseas workers to them service on the service sector.
Working in Australia may not be a dream anymore for its relatively easy to look for jobs there. With the help of online job sites and easy passport immigration applications, a person who aims to work at the "Land of Oz" might just get there after all.

New Ride

oh no...she's heading over to the dark side!

The dark side indeed. You might as well go all the way and get yourself a matching Hummer too. There would be lots of room for saxophones.
Saxophone playing is kind of like biking in that, you have to have a bike/sax for every occasion. There is the road bike/alto sax, the cross bike/tenor, and the MTB/baritone. Those that are completely obsessed also have a time trial/soprano. But unless you are a trialthlete or Kenny G, that last one is optional and should probably be avoided if possible cause they are both pretty annoying. Although, come to think of it, Kenny does hold the world record for cycle breathing on the saxophone. I wonder if he rides?
Anyway, congrats on a fine win at Yarmouth. Check out my report on the race at www.startfinishbikenews.blogspot.com.

tbf I don't see any reason why SBW's boxing career would've made any waves in the Northern Hemisphere media prior to now, when he's a big name All Black and therefore I assume somewhat newsworthy. Was his departure from league a story up there?
Has had two fights, one this year and one last, both in Australia and both KO wins against novices including the fatty in the pic.

What makes a successful rehabilitation these days? How do you know when it's OK to face the world, after that terrible thing you did, two or five or 20 years ago? How much conspicuous shame must you express before the general public likes you again?
Once it was simple. You did something bad, you were found out, and that was it. You either clamped a 12-bore to your head or emigrated to Australia. But after the 1960s, British society came over all magnanimous. When John Profumo resigned as MP after sleeping with a prostitute, lying to Parliament and toppling the Conservative government, he worked as a volunteer cleaning lavatories in an East End charity hall – and in 1975 he was given the CBE, perhaps for services to hair-shirt wearing. Shame in sufficient quantity brought rehabilitation.
High-profile Americans don't do shame. They do confession. When Winona Ryder was caught shoplifting clothes, she went on TV to explain how she suffered from anxiety and depression. When Robert Downey Jnr was arrested for drugs and gun possession, he discussed his addictive personality on Oprah Winfrey's show. And they didn't need to wait for the public to forgive them; they had to wait until they were pronounced insurable by film companies.
These reflections are prompted by the case of Angus Deayton, a man whose career has been shadowed by scandal and whose last 10 years have been a curious journey of enforced rehabilitation. In 2002, Deayton was forced to resign from Have I Got News For You after allegations in the News of the World of coke-snorting and three-in-a-bed malarkey. Deayton never displayed remorse, nor presented himself as ill. He simply bided his time, while the BBC tied itself in knots wondering what to do with him. They knew most of his audience wanted him back in the show, but had to pretend to be ashamed on his behalf.
There followed a cat-and-mouse game in which the Corporation proffered their former star to small, try-out audiences, like a lion-tamer offering little snacks to the lion to see if it would eat them or devour him instead. After a year, he was allowed to be a guest on a radio comedy show. After two years, he was cast in a TV comedy that went out on the wastelands of BBC Three. After four years, the Beeb let him present a TV charity show. After another decent interval, he was finally back on BBC1 in 2007 fronting Would I Lie To You? until he got into trouble again for making rude jokes about Jimmy Savile. Yesterday, the BBC announced Deayton's coming back to the fold in Waterloo Road, the mainstream drama set in a dysfunctional school.
It took Profumo 12 years to have his transgression officially forgiven. It took Deayton five. And guess what? It took Winona Ryder the same period to get back into movies (with A Scanner Darkly in 2006.) And Robert Downey Jnr had to wait five years before the insurers would trust him again. So it's five years. That's the decent interval now.
The battle for Papal disapproval
Just before midday yesterday, seated on a white throne, with awful majesty the Pope extended a prehensile forefinger to a papal iPad and sent his first tweet. His account @pontifex has already got 840,000 followers, most of whom immediately leapt into action to complain about abusive priests, ask if he likes Justin Beiber or suggest he gets in touch with @DalaiLama.
This is not, I fear, what the great man's advisers had in mind. He hoped to communicate with millions longing for spiritual refreshment. What the millions really long for is to be hilariously abusive enough to be blocked on Twitter by the Supreme Pontiff. How cool is that?

These are the pictures Melissa and I took while standing outside the Paramount Theatre in Austin at Kristen's premiere of The Runaways. Honestly, I was expecting a much bigger crowd, especially since we got there about ten minutes before the premiere started. Melissa and I were bolting to the front doors in order to see Kristen! (In a non-stalkerish way of course) It's funny because I always thought I'd maintain my cool if I saw her or Rob. It seemed pretty easy, just hold my excitement inside, that way I wouldn't freak them out if they actually saw me. Nope…not me, I kept hearing "OMG KRISTEN!!!!!" coming out of my mouth. Sweet jesus!..haha Such an amazing night though! One of the best!! 🙂
Here's some pictures so you can see just how close we really were:

Civil identification
Distinguish individuals, recognize a person's unique identity and prove it, make sure it's secure and manage it… All of these operations are prime concerns of governments and other authorities in charge of managing rights and delivering aid and services to citizens. Safran offers complete identity management systems to address these needs, including data registration services; identity verification and management solutions; production and personalization of secure ID documents; systems that facilitate access to online services.
Safran is the world leader in automated fingerprint identification systems (AFIS), and is developing reliable biometric solutions for identity management. These solutions will first support the creation and management of databases such as public registries. Subsequently, they will be used to print secure documents, including voter cards, ID cards, Healthcare system cards, driver licenses, passports and visas.
Reliable solutions for identity management
Safran has developed a very innovative solution, namely 3D Photo ID™, a technology that gives ID documents an unprecedented degree of security. It's based on a stereoscopic process that enables the 3D display of the document holder's face, making it impossible to replace or falsify the photo.
Based on reliable, mobile and secure management of digital identities, Safran is also developing systems that facilitate secure online access to public and private services.
One of Safran's flagship civil identification programs is the Aadhaar program in India. Chosen in 2010 by the Indian government, Safran helps assign each resident of the country (on a voluntary basis) a unique 12-digit ID number, guaranteed by multibiometric information on the cardholder (10 fingerprints, two irises and a photo of the face). Safran is one of the few companies in the world with the ability to create a multibiometric database for more than a billion people.
Safran Identity & Security: Safran is the world leader in identity management systems and the production of secure ID documents. It offers a range of products and solutions tailored to the needs of governments, agencies and administrations in charge of protecting citizens' rights and identity.
