Senate works on deal as edge of fiscal cliff near
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate leaders groped for a last-minute compromise Saturday to avoid middle-class tax increases and possibly prevent deep spending cuts at the dawn of the new year as President Barack Obama warned that failure could mean a "self-inflicted wound to the economy."
Obama chastised lawmakers in his weekly radio and Internet address for waiting until the last minute to try and avoid a "fiscal cliff," yet said there was still time for an agreement. "We cannot let Washington politics get in the way of America's progress," he said as the hurry-up negotiations unfolded.
Senate Republicans said they were ready to compromise. "Divided government is a good time to solve hard problems—and in the next few days, leaders in Washington have an important responsibility to work together and do just that," said U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, delivering his party's weekly address.
Even so, there was no guarantee of success.
In a blunt challenge to Republicans, Obama said that barring a bipartisan agreement, he expected both houses to vote on his own proposal to block tax increases on all but the wealthy and simultaneously preserve expiring unemployment benefits.
Political calculations mattered as much as deep-seated differences over the issues, as divided government struggled with its first big challenge since the November elections.
Speaker John Boehner remained at arms-length, juggling a desire to avoid the fiscal cliff with his goal of winning another new term as speaker when a new Congress convenes next Thursday. Any compromise legislation is certain to include higher tax rates on the wealthy, and the House GOP rank and file rejected the idea when Boehner presented it as part of a final attempt to strike a more sweeping agreement with Obama.
Yet lawmakers have until the new Congress convenes to pass any compromise, and even the calendar mattered. Democrats said they had been told House Republicans might reject a deal until after Jan. 1, to avoid a vote to raise taxes before they had technically gone up and then vote to cut taxes after they had risen.
Nor was any taxpayer likely to feel any adverse impact if legislation is signed and passed into law in the first two or three days of 2013 instead of the final hours of 2012.
Gone was the talk of a grand bargain of spending cuts and additional tax revenue in which the two parties would agree to slash deficits by trillions of dollars over a decade. Continued...
Now negotiators had a more cramped goal of preventing additional damage to the economy in the form of higher taxes across the board — with some families facing increases measured in the thousands of dollars — as well as cuts aimed at the Pentagon and hundreds of domestic programs.
Republicans said they were willing to bow to Obama's call for higher taxes on the wealthy as part of a deal to prevent them from rising on those less well-off.
Democrats said Obama was sticking to his campaign call for tax increases above $250,000 in annual income, even though he said in recent negotiations he said he could accept $400,000.
There were indications from Republicans that estate taxes might hold more significance for them than the possibility of higher rates on income.
One senior Republican, U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, said late Friday he was "totally dead set" against Obama's estate tax proposal, and as if to reinforce the point, Blunt mentioned the issue before any other in his broadcast remarks.
"Small businesses and farm families don't know how to deal with the unfair death tax—a tax that the president and congressional leaders have threatened to expand to include even more family farms and even more small businesses," he said.
Officials said any compromise was likely to ease the impact of the alternative minimum tax, originally designed to make sure that millionaires did not escape taxation. If left unchanged, it could hit an estimated 28 million households for the first time in 2013, with an average increase of more than $3,000.
Taxes on dividends and capital gains are also involved in the talks, as well as a series of breaks for businesses and others due to expire at the first of the year.
Obama and congressional Democrats are insisting on an extension of long-term unemployment benefits that are expiring for about 2 million jobless individuals.
Leaders in both parties also hope to prevent a 27 percent fee cut from taking effect on Jan. 1 for doctors who treat Medicare patients. Continued...
There also was discussion of a short-term extension of expiring farm programs, in part to prevent a spike in milk prices at the first of the year. It wasn't clear if that was a parallel effort to the cliff talks or if it had become wrapped into them.
Across-the-board spending cuts that comprise part of the cliff were a different matter.
Republicans say Boehner will insist that they will begin to take effect unless negotiators agreed to offset them with specified savings elsewhere.
That would set the stage for the next round of brinkmanship — a struggle over Republican calls for savings from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal benefit programs.
The Treasury's ability to borrow is expected to expire in late winter or early spring, and without an increase in the $16.4 trillion limit, the government would face its first-ever default. Republicans have said they will use administration requests for an extension as leverage to win cuts in spending.
Ironically, it was just such a maneuver more than a year ago that set the stage for the current crisis talks over the fiscal cliff.

President Barack Obama highlighted the housing crisis of 2007 and 2008 in his weekly address Saturday, calling on Congress to act and pass a mortgage refinance measure.
Meanwhile, Republicans introduced Vernon Parker from Arizona, who is running for Congress, and spoke on the jobs plans the party supports.
A bubble in the housing sector was at the center of the economic turmoil several years ago. A report released by the analytics firm Fiserv on Wednesday found the market nationwide was beginning to recover, but had a long way to go before returning to 2007 levels. Housing prices dropped a third during that time, and Fiserv projected average growth of approximately 3.7 percent over each of the next five years.
The hardest hit state - the election year battleground of Nevada - could be decades out from recovery: housing prices there dropped nearly 60 percent since 2007, and with Fiserv's projected growth of 2.3 percent, it would take 40 years for prices to break even.
Obama recognized this reality in his remarks.
"The truth is, it's going to take a while for our housing market to fully recover," he said. But it's going to take a lot more time - and cause a lot more hurt - if Congress keeps standing in the way."
He urged Congress to pass the Home Affordable Refinance Program measure that would triple the number of homeowners who would be eligible to refinance their mortgage, according to data from the White House.
And Obama included a jab at Mitt Romney, who said in a 2011 interview with a Nevada newspaper that the housing market would be served best by not trying "to stop the foreclosure process. Let it run its course and hit the bottom."
Obama said, "I know that there are some who think that the only option for homeowners is to just stand by and hope that the market has hit bottom. I don't agree with that."
The president has made a theme of calling for Congressional action in his recent weekly addresses, while Republicans typically use theirs to argue that Obama and the Democratic-controlled Senate is sitting in the way.

LG's flagship LED TV with onboard camera
LG announced a pair of five-figure TVs already, one OLED and another 4K, but among models mortals can afford, its flagship 2013 series of LED-based LCD TVs is the LA8600.
Unlike last year's LM9600 flagship, the LA8600 will forgo a full-array local dimming backlight in favor of an edge-lit variety. While that seems disappointing from a videophile perspective, it's worth noting that the LM9600 was among the worst-performing full-array LED TVs we'd ever tested.
Available in a 60- and 55-inch size, it will feature all of the latest tricks including an onboard, retractable camera. LG initially told … Read more

Cirque du Soleil: Quidam
Sunday, March 17, 2013 5:00 PM
Cirque du Soleil Quidam
Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 5:00 PM CST
Quidam had its world premiere in Montreal under the Big Top in April 1996. Since that time, the production has toured on five continents and been experienced by millions of people. In December 2010, Quidam embarked on a new journey, performing the same captivating production, but now in arenas throughout North America. The international cast features 52 world-class acrobats, musicians, singers and characters.
Young Zoé is bored; her parents, distant and apathetic, ignore her. Her life has lost all meaning. Seeking to fill the void of her existence, she slides into an imaginary world – the world of Quidam – where she meets characters who encourage her to free her soul.
Quidam: a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past and swallowed by the crowd. It could be anyone, anybody. Someone coming or going at the heart of our anonymous society. A member of the crowd, one of the silent majority. The one who cries out, sings and dreams within us all. This is the "quidam" whom this show allows to speak. This is the place that beckons – a place for dreaming and genuine relations where all quidams, by proclaiming their individuality, can finally emerge from anonymity.

The Sony VPCES2KGX/B 15.5" laptop computer is more than just a pretty laptop. Sure, it's less than 1" thick, and sports an impressively light 4.4 lb. frame, but inside it's a workhorse. With an Intel i7 processor, AMD Radeon graphics card, and 4GB of memory you can get more done whether you're watching a DVD, sorting family photos, or finishing up a spreadsheet (or doing it all at once).

4 Generations: My mother, Jane, Granddaughter Kim, and Lorraine |
You know, I liked her calling me that: biological mother. It was direct, honest and as accurate as natural mother. I liked that she didn't know she should be using PC language--aka birth mother--that she was asking, Did Jane and I share DNA? Before I could answer, I saw that she was with a few other of Jane's acquaintances from Toastmasters who were waiting for my response.

Stamford's Defense Is Strong
By: Eric Boynton
Updated: December 11, 2012
Often overlooked in the final box score, because of their high scoring offense, is their defense; which is one reason their having so much success this year.
"Our offense does get a lot of recognition. We do put a lot of points on the board. We are very explosive, and I think this year our defense is getting overlooked. I feel our defense is much improved. Much better than we were last year. I feel like our unit has stepped up and made plays when they've had too," said head coach Wayne Hutchinson.
"I strongly believe in our defense. I think it's one of the best defenses in the state, for [Class A]. We've got a lot of speed, and really rally to the ball. Pretty much just get off blocks and do what we've got to do. I mean you can hit us, and we'll just get back up," said Daniel Medina
:"Do what coach has asked us to do. It's worked to this point. So, we need to do what we need to [do] to hopefully win more," said Keontay Smith "We all need to elevate our game, and try to play with a higher intensity. So, we can get to where we wan to go, and that's Cowboys Stadium."
The one obstacle remaining in Stamford's path back to Cowboys stadium is the Italy Gladiators. Don't let their record fool you though. Since starting the season 1-4, Italy has peeled of eight straight wins.
They also feature a talented back, Rykheem Walker?, and stopping him will be a big key for the Bulldogs defense this Friday night in Wichita Falls.

Man Charged with Kidnapping
By: Liz Gonzales
Updated: December 2, 2012
It happened late Friday night when 26 year-old Lafette Latrell Battee was pulled over. Police say he was driving without a valid license but more importantly they found Battee was involved in an aggravated kidnapping that happened on Thursday.
A witness who apparently saw him with the victim provided an affidavit and was able to pick him out of a line up. The victim of the kidnapping told police Battee injured her and tried to rape her. She also says she tried to get away several times but was forced into the vehicle.
Battee is charged with first degree felony aggravated kidnapping and is being held on a $75,000 bond.

Marketing a business – especially, a new one — through the web is tough. Most users are skeptical while dealing with the salesmen online. What if the entire online deal is a hoax? Where to go about hunting for the company representative? However, you can still etch out web marketing strategies to promote our new business through the Internet.
Consider a Good Domain Name
The website which showcases your business can surely be of any name. However, a good domain name is something which strikes an impression to the users. For instance, if the name is unique, similar to the name of the company or the brand, etc. it gives a sense of prestige to the site. Take care to use a domain that is easy to remember and is personal.
Built a Professional Website
Building a professional website has a lot of implications. As the website is the first impression about your business, the user should have a hassle-free surfing. He should also get what information he wants with just few clicks. Secondly, if he wants to contact your customer representative, he should effortlessly get the job done without taxing too much of his mind to it.
To get a professional touch of your website, you can use templates or hire a professional web designer for the purpose. Optimize your site further to highlight how well your site has been accepted by the search engine spiders.
Create a Friendly Environment
A friendly environment is where a representative is always around. The website also showcases the contact number, address, and other credentials of the company. Often, users first test out the site by sending their query though the email. Ensure that the comment box or ID is conveniently placed. Take care to answer the email quickly for better customer-seller relationship.
Proactive Stress on Communication
Gone are the days where nets were only for passive reading. Today, a website offers interactivity. With Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 technology, the extent of user participation has gone up even more. For a good communication system between you and your potential customers, send e-mail newsletters are regular intervals to highlight the new products that have been launched.
Go for Banner Ads
Apart from organic optimization, you should also go for banner ads. Make sure that the text is interesting to draw the attention of the users. With a suitable landing page and strategic placement of the banner ads, you are sure to increase traffic for your website.
Web Marketing is a long process and needs constant vigil. Especially for your new business, you need to put in more effort to rope in potential customers through Internet marketing strategies.

The opposite of a pussytator. When a dictator and pussytator get together, they make babytators. The dictator was too huge for the little pussytator.
5. | dictator | ||
A type of ruler who exercises total power over EVERYTHING, and typically has cruel punishments toward those who have even the slightest opinion against him.
Dictators are quite common in communist countries and third-world countries. No one will admit it, but George W Bush is not a dictator. How is he a dictator? Dictatorship is not allowed in the USA. "The reason this definition was removed:
BUSH IS A DICTATOR. GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT YOU FUCKIN' REDNECK Or something in that context. You know what, I think I'm gonna stop coming here on Urban Dictionary. You win. Seriously, anything intelligent or unbiased is not accepted in Urban Dictionary, when in fact it should be. It's as if there are more quality control fanatics than there are people who post definitions. I found out that a lot of my definitions were removed for the stupidest of reasons. You make me sick. If you want me to leave, so be it. Fuck you guys." -me |

A guy who spectates dicks. "DUDE! STOP BEING A DICTATOR! GET UR EYES OF MY WONG!"
7. | Dictator | ||
Another name for M.Bison the would be world "dictactor" and leader of shadaloo from Street Fighter games. In Japan, the character was named Vega, derived from the star of the same name. However, during localization of Street Fighter II for the English language market, Capcom's North American branch felt that the name sounded non-threatening to North American audiences for the game's final boss, and was more suitable for the androgynous bullfighter Balrog. At this same time another concern arose that the name of another character, Mike Bison, conceived as a parody of real-life boxer Mike Tyson, would be a legal liability for Capcom. As a result, the characters swapped names, and the game's final boss was dubbed General M. Bison for English language appearances of the character.2
In the context of the western versions, the initial in the name "M. Bison" is given the meaning 'Master' though some games, such as X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter and Street Fighter EX, omit it and simply refer to the character as Bison. Dictator is now used to avoid any of this confusion. |

EMCC Lions ink hardwood standouts Donovan Walker and Joe McCoy |
SCOOBA, Miss. – Meridian High School's Donovan Walker and Joe McCoy of Raymond High School have become the first two men's basketball signees of the current signing period for East Mississippi Community College. The signings were announced Wednesday by EMCC men's basketball coach Mark White.
A 6-foot-4, 190-pound guard/forward, Walker averaged 14.6 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals per game as a senior in helping lead head coach Randy Bolden's Meridian Wildcats to a 25-5 overall record and No. 1 regular-season Class 5A state ranking by The Clarion-Ledger newspaper. Walker was named MVP of this year's Jackson Public Schools/Pepsi Holiday Tournament after averaging 16.8 points during the four tournament games, including 19 points in MHS's 61-49 win over Provine in the championship contest. "Donovan's most productive days on the basketball court are definitely ahead of him," EMCC's White said. "He comes from an outstanding program at Meridian High School, and we believe Coach (Randy) Bolden prepares his players extremely well to compete successfully at the next level." McCoy averaged a team-leading 17.4 points along with eight rebounds and three steals as a junior for head coach Willie Neal's 23-9 Raymond High Rangers. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound guard was named All-District 6-3A and voted team MVP in 2007-08 in helping pace Raymond to the semifinals of the Class 3A South State playoffs. Highlighted by a season-high 30 points against Bailey, McCoy averaged 28 points during a 14-game stretch as a junior. His career high of 45 points came against Forest Hill during his sophomore campaign. "Joe has a tremendous upside and should be a very successful player in the community college ranks after receiving a solid foundation under Coach (Willie) Neal at Raymond High School," White noted. "Joe is a strong, physical guard who should make an immediate impact for us next season." |

Ivory I was rooting for you.
OMG!! I am soooo glad they FINALLY kicked Ivory's little stank a** off the show!! She is soo maniplative,she never wanted to take any responsibilty for sh**t that went wrong,she's rude,and over bearing. She should've NEVER picked a battle with Ms. Ebony honey. Wamp,wamp,wamp to you Ivory…….
Diddy you lost the winner. I dont even want to watch the ending now cause Ivory was the best for the position. I knew you would eventually get rid of ivory. Ebony was the weakest and she is not a leader. I hope you dont pick anyone in the end. Dan is too political but it looks like will win. Ivory you will get hired by somebody. I am proud Ivory that you were yourself and didnt change and took control. Ivory = Leader. Ebony = Follower. Dan = In between both
Im glad she's gone she was dirty
She still doesn't get it. Yes, she is a strong woman but she needs her own business. She is not a team player and even if she did have her own business people wouldn't want to work with her because she has a terrible attitude. If everyone says the same thing about you…you might want to listen and try to make a change.
I really think a mistake was made last night. Ivory should not have gone home. This girl has the "lets get it done" attitude. I truly think she would have been an $+_&!`_~~`~+$*( et to Diddy. While I think the other two are good contestants, Ivory wanted and deserved this more than anyone. She made a mistake in the past, so what. Just like one of the judges said he thinks Daniel could grow if given the opportunity, so could Ivory. She needed the opportunity to grow.
Ivory, I am sooooo glad you are finally gone. Your attitude alone should have gotten you kicked off long ago. I am so glad Ebony mentioned the incident with the excerise ball (real petty Ivory) yet you thought you were capable of ^%&(@_`~+^)$)$( isting a multi-million dollar enterprise are you kidding me? Maybe you should sit back and watch the tapes and maybe you'll see what we see, you SUCKED!!!!!
really think a mistake was made last night. Ivory should not have gone home. This girl has the "lets get it done" attitude. I truly think she would have been an A S S E T to Diddy. While I think the other two are good contestants, Ivory wanted and deserved this more than anyone. She made a mistake in the past, so what. Just like one of the judges said he thinks Daniel could grow if given the opportunity, so could Ivory. She needed the opportunity to grow.
Thank God the "roach in a hair piece" is gone. You have to treat people how you want to be treated no matter who's watching. She was a head nodding butt kisser to Capricorn, Phil, Andre, and Diddy. She was a yelling, cursing, terror around the house. The ball nonsense was ridiculous. I'm sick of the loudest, meanest, black women being showcased on tv. I think that is part of what Capricorn meant when she said it makes "us" look bad. "Us" is Bad boy and black women. She was a little sharper than Dan or Ebony, but I'd rather work with either of them and let them learn on the job than deal with that nasty attitude.
I'm so glad that Ivory was booted off last night, she wanted all the credit for what was done right and when things were done wrong it wasn't her fault it was the other persons fault. Like when she set up payment with the prop guy she was the one communicating with him not Ebony, she felt like she was doing everything by herself, she barked more orders than she took them with her thick, long azz "yes sir" forehead, by broad go run your own business and see how you prosper.
i had to see this for myself she is gone I'm in shock didn't see it coming but they went hard on her and threw her under the rocks, don't worry ivory you'll come out as a diamond when you shine love ya I'll support you when you come on top
In the beginning Ivory stated that she should go home if the event didn't go well, so she went home.On the other hand, all of them should get hired because they will be woderful workers.Diddy should give Ivory a job, because she will get the job done fa'sho. DIDDY HIRE THAT SISTA BECAUSE SHE GONNA GET THAT BREAD..
I Want To Work For Diddy is a great show. It inspires me to be more effective.
Ivory…Did not understand the definition of Integrity, Team work or Servitude Success is not an Island. Especially When a Team of People are involved its very neccessary to always be open to New Ideas, Change(most important) and submission b/c even as a team its important to be one mind to get the job done. A great choice was made to remove Ivory…She will be an awesome !$$++__#_`)!^~) et once she goes through some Humble beginnings and she learns how to submit to others…then she will have followers and become a great lead…..cyb
Ivory…was the best one for the position. She took criticism from the panel about her attitude and she toned things down. The incident with the ball happened episodes back and should not have been the reason for her dismissal. She was called names in her face by Poprah and she stood firm. If I had to hire someone, it would have been Ivory. Always ready to grind…always prepares and plans. She took the initiative everytime..and the others followed. The others never had any idea or clue as to how to even get started. Ivory…she was ready for anything..I guess Capricorn was afraid she may take her damn job. Now that's what's really up!
Ivory…should not have been dismissed. I think Ebony should have. Ivory, took charged and she was never afraid to so. If I had to hire someone it would have been Ivory. She was ready for every challenge by preparing and planning, which it's what an *(!@*&$!%+`(#^# istant is suppose to do. All the others needed direction and quidance all the time. Capricorn got chewed out by Diddy for not 911 him about problems with fashion show. Maybe she's really afraid for her position at Badboy. The ball incident happened episodes back and should not have been the reason for letting Ivory go. Had nothing to do with any of the challenges.
Ctl just said EVERYTHING I was thinking. LMBO!
Did I just type that??? lol -
Ivory held things together. We'll see how Dan and Ebony actually get things done without someone checking over their shoulders. She was the best contestant and always backed down when talked to by the judges. Ebony is actually the manipulative one, she had a pact with Ivory and threw her under the bus using the stupid ball example which happened right at the beginning and had nothing to do with a challenge. Ivory has already calmed down since then. It's interesting how Ebony got her biggest competitor eliminated so that it would be Dan and her. The funny thing is, Ebony didn't go after her she honored the pact. So who is really the shady one? Dan constantly lies covering up the rediculous mistakes he has made through out the competition while Ebony just covers her own mistakes and breaks deals. They definately eliminated the wrong person.
It's time to get your shine on and come up with your own show maybe called "This is how's done".
How about that, Mr. Call the Lawyer to get the paper work done!!!
Is it true that the winner has not been hired yet by Bad Boy Entertainment? If so, maybe the others should count themselves blessed. I have always wondered what kind of position would be available to the winner. In what capacity is last year's winner working? Does anyone know? Has there been any release of pictures or publicity showing last season's winner doing an internship? Does anyone know whether this is just another trumped up show or is it for real?
I just read that the winning contestant has not yet been given a job or an internship at Bad Boys Productions. Maybe the other contestants should be glad that they were not the winners. Is this show for real? Was there ever a job to be had at BBP? Has anyone ever heard what the first winner's internship was? It was the same with the Trump's Apprentice. After the first person won, you never heard anything about the other winners. Just curious.
the think is Ivory came on real strong and sometimes that happens until it's pointed out to you. You have to be strong in order to make it. Who wants a weak person to work for them. Then you will have to tell them their job when they should already know what it entails. I thought Ivory or Ebony could have won. You don't turn your back on people or sell them short. Ivory had guts to do whatever and she did take ownership of alot of things. Working in the office is one. They told her the very first time how strong her attitude was and she calmed it down realizing what needed to be done. SHe stepped up alot to handle her business when noone else would. She was strong headed to get whatever done and she was right for the position. Maybe he can still hire her :)
