Vermont's unemployment rate falls againStaff Report | March 29,2013MONTPELIER – Vermont's unemployment rate fell 0.3 percent in February to 4.4 percent, the state Department of Labor announced Friday.
The state continues to have the fourth lowest unemployment rate in the country. The national average last month was 7.7 percent.
February represents the seventh consecutive month without an increase in the state's unemployment rate.
"We were very pleased to see that the number of unemployed workers in Vermont continues to decline," said Labor Commissioner Annie Noonan. "This data which the department collects for this report also showed a decline in the total number of employed, but interestingly, Vermont employers are reporting an increase in jobs."MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

Urbanization and Republican Growth in the South, 1950-1968
Date: December 1975
Creator: Hughes, Dorene
Description: This thesis tests the hypothesis that increasing urbanization in the South is positively correlated with rising Republican voting in presidential and gubernatorial races. A measure of urbanization was derived by subjecting socio-economic data from three censuses for all southern counties to factor analysis. This measure was regressed against Republican percentages of presidential vote in 1952, 1960 and 1968, and against GOP percentages in governor's races closest to the census years. The coefficients of correlation were uniformly low, reaching as high as .50 only once in each case. It was concluded that urbanization accounts for little in explaining variation in Republican voting and that contradictory findings are the result of reliance on less powerful analytic techniques, misunderstanding of more powerful ones or inadequate operationalization of key concepts.

An Assessment of the Attitudes of the Personnel of Welfare-Oriented Governmental Agencies Toward the Poor
Date: August 1979
Creator: Valverde Rocha, Maria de la Luz
Description: This study explores and assesses the attitudes of the personnel of welfare-oriented governmental bureaucracies toward the poor. To fulfill these goals, a treatment and a control group were selected to compare their attitudes toward this group. They were measured by a disguised-structured instrument using the survey approach. It was found that the majority of respondents in both groups have a pro-poor attitude but it is more prevalent among the bureaucrats than among the students. In light of the knowledge we have of the effect of attitudes on the execution of policies, these results suggest that the policies governing the different programs studied are being executed to the advantage of the client.

Indo-Soviet Relations: The Implications of Soviet-United States Rivalry in the Indian Ocean, 1968-1976
Date: December 1978
Creator: Wannitikul, Udsanee
Description: This study presents an overview of Indo-Soviet relations in light of the U.S.-U.S.S.R. competition for a favorable position in relations with India. Both superpowers consider better relations with India to be crucial to the furtherance of their interests in the Indian Ocean region. The study provides background information on Indo-Soviet diplomacy, with emphasis on the period 1968-1976m during which the Soviets gained their greatest influence in the region. This period also represents the nadir of Indo-American relations, although India formally maintained a policy of non-alignment with either of the two superpowers. Conclusions are drawn about India's role as a non-aligned nation, its relations with the superpowers, and its quest for regional influence.

The Impact of U.S. Arms Transfer Policies on Relations with Peru, 1945-1978
Date: August 1979
Creator: Davison, J. Les
Description: This paper examines United States arms transfer policies as they have been applied to Peru since the end of World War II and analyzes the role of these policies in achieving the goals of the United States as delineated by Luigi Einaudi et al. in their Arms Transfers to Latin America: Toward a Policy of Mutual Respect. The paper traces the course of recent U.S.-Peruvian relations, with special emphasis on Peru's arms acquisitions since 1968. The author concludes that, while U.S. arms transfer policies have undoubtedly strained U.S.-Peruvian relations over the past decade, the refusal of the U.S. to provide advanced weapons to Peru will prove to be in the best interests of the United States in the long run.

Interdependence or Realism: A Study in United States-Iranian Relations
Date: May 1978
Creator: Akhavizadeh, Mohaimmad T.
Description: This study analyzes recent developments in U. S.- Iranian relations during the Nixon administration and attempts to portray the principal objectives of the United States and Iran vis-a-vis each other. Complex Interdependence is the model for development of the arguments. Due to the circumstances, however, the study substantially draws on Realism as well. Chapter I discusses methodology. Chapter II focuses on the Nixon Doctrine and its impact on U. S.-Iranian relations. Chapter III discusses the evolution of mutual interests between the two nations in the Gulf area. Chapter IV drawing on the previous chapters, concludes that an interdependent relation between the two nations has developed to the extent that in some areas policy of one nation would have an impact on the other, i.e., increase in the price of oil.

American Response to Military Coups among Her Allies: Greece--The Colonels' Coup
Date: December 1977
Creator: Frith, Roger W.
Description: The focus of this thesis is Greece after the 1967 Colonels' Coup. After an analysis of American responses to military coups among allies since 1949, the Greek situation is explored in depth. Emphasis is given to Congressional and Executive infighting and bureaucratic interpretations of policy. The two presidents who dealt with the Colonels are studied for personal reaction. Sources include the New York Times and its Index, the Department of State Bulletins, current Greek history books, Congressional Hearings and other documents relating to Greece. Major conclusions are that Congressional- Executive infighting produced a meandering non-policy toward Greece, and there was a difference in Johnson's and Nixon's reaction with the latter being more pragmatic verbally but less effective factually.

Power Politics in a Federal Agency: a Policy Study in Federal Aid Programs for Students in Higher Education
Date: May 1977
Creator: Allen, Robert Lloyd
Description: This paper determines relationships between three elements of the American policy process: legislature, agency, and administrative clientele. It concerns interrelationships between these elements and their affect to agency functions. A model is constructed; revealing the policy process, illustrating behavior patterns responsible for normal functioning and failure of policies and programs. The model develops through study of a single policy area. Supplemental data are provided from a survey. The paper concludes that the process is based on legislation-- causing activity in an agency or substantial change in programs; agency actions, seated in its own organizational objectives, and resultant to internal conflicts; and by clientele behavior, determined by agency actions or inactions. This model may help predicting policy outcomes, but only after similar but more comprehensive studies.

A Time Series Analysis of the Functional Performance of the United States Supreme Court
Date: August 1990
Creator: Haynie, Stacia L. (Stacia Lyn)
Description: The focus of this investigation is the relationship of the United States Supreme Court's functional performance to its environment. Three functions of courts are noted in the literature: conflict resolution, social control and administration. These functions are operationalized for the United States Supreme Court. Hypotheses are developed relative to the general performance of these three functions by all courts. Box-Jenkins time series analysis is then used to test these hypotheses in relation to the performance of the United States Supreme Court. The primary analysis rests upon a data set that includes all non-unanimous decisions of the Supreme Court from 1916 to 1986. A supplemental analysis is conducted using all formal decisions for the 1953 to 1986 period. The results suggest that intellectual resources, legal resources, modernization, and court discretion are significant influences on the functional performance of the United States Supreme Court. Future research must consider these influences in the development of a general theory of courts.

Agenda-Setting by Minority Political Groups: A Case Study of American Indian Tribes
Date: May 1990
Creator: McCoy, Leila M. (Leila Melanie)
Description: This study tested theoretical propositions concerning agenda-setting by minority political groups in the United States to see if they had the scope to be applicable to American Indian tribes or if there were alternative explanations for how this group places its agenda items on the formal agenda and resolves them. Indian tribes were chosen as the case study because they are of significantly different legal and political status than other minority groups upon which much of the previous research has been done. The study showed that many of the theoretical propositions regarding agenda-setting by minority groups were explanatory for agenda-setting by Indian tribes. The analyses seemed to demonstrate that Indian tribes use a closed policy subsystem to place tribal agenda items on the formal agenda. The analyses demonstrated that most tribal agenda items resolved by Congress involve no major policy changes but rather incremental changes in existing policies. The analyses also demonstrated that most federal court decisions involving Indian tribes have no broad impact or significance to all Indian tribes. The analyses showed that both Congress and the federal courts significantly influence the tribal agenda but the relationship between the courts and Congress in agenda-setting in this area of policy ...

Vancouver, BC – The first listen to any type of audio can be a completely euphoric experience. It has the potential to grab hold of your senses for a short amount of time, and completely alter your emotional reality for a couple minutes. Vancity, experimental group, SO LOKI, dropped their highly anticipated mixtape this weekend, titled Supermaniac, and solidified their spots as the most boundary-pushing artists coming out of Vancouver. The release of this introductory, 12-track project was one that was extremely hyped within the music community, and it's release definitely didn't disappoint. On first listen, you may not understand – whether it fits into a straight genre, whether you're listening to rap or spoken word or an electronic group, and why you feel the need to listen to it again (and again). The groups sound is fluid, and non-definitive. It's electronic, but rap, but melodic, but also manages to insert jazz influences. It's exactly what you would classify as "experimental" but still surprising in the literal variety within it's composition. And, undoubtedly, it's epic.
Premiere: Tyler Skyy pays tribute to hometown in scenic video for "Going Home" featuring Erik Chirkoff
Vernon, BC – Vancouver is home to a diverse range of artists who come from a variety of backgrounds and origins. We caught up with Vancity artist, Tyler Skyy, to cop an exclusive premiere of his new music video "Going Home" featuring Erik Chirkoff. This is the second video drop we've seen from Skyy recently, and he recruited Buggatti Beatz onto the project to handle the production. The video features a set of picturesque landscape backdrops which sit in as a British Columbia signature. Check out the video below.
Vancouver, BC – Observatory Records is an indie hip-hop collective that released their latest EP An Autumn in Rome this past weekend. The group features Jakub Evolved from Vancouver hip-hop crew KIDS, emcee/producer Wax Monk, and the founder of Observatory Records – DJ Billy Bishop. The collective group was able to give a little insight into their most recent project, by describing, "This EP is assembled from some of the first recordings we made as a team in the late part of 2014. While they have been performed, these tracks have not yet been released." The EP offers up some introspective bars and vocals from some well known local artists to expose fans to a collective that we'll probably be seeing more from. Observatory Records is based out of Burnaby, BC, and was established as a recording studio serving as a safe haven for artists to cultivate and express their talents within. An Autumn in Rome serves as a product of these jam sessions, as well as an introductory offering from the newly developing trio.
Brampton, ON – Up-and-coming Brampton artist Brad Bonds just teamed up with Eestbound for this dope new tune titled "All On Me."
This song is a reflection on the last three months for Brad; he comes to a very humbling revelation that it is "all on" him; guy takes ownership. According to Brad, he was going through some family problems and decided to leave in order to jump-start his career. Brad disappeared on-the-low to develop himself as an artist and network in different cities. Admittedly, not even his best friends knew where he was at the time.
As Brad explained it to me: "I was going through a lot of family problems and I decided I needed to leave where I was at to try and get my career started so I was in different cities grinding and just trying to make different connections with people. Nobody – not even my closest friends – really knew where I was but I felt like I had to disappear for a bit because it was the only way I could keep the energy around me positive."
Guess it all worked out for the guy, though. Because he wound up working with Eestbound and just dropped one of the hottest songs I've heard so far this month. Check it out.

Halifax, NS – Aldean Alliston aka AL Boogie has been honing his craft for years mixing it up with the likes of Quake, his blood bother Miracle, Ghettochild, The IV League and R$ $mooth. He's been a beast with the wordplay for a while and he's starting to release new music under his own Looney Bin imprint. "Make A Killing," produced by Epik, was shot by WordOfMouthMedia.
Toronto, ON – It's that time of the month again! Toronto's infamous #BigTicket monthly hip-hop series is back once again with another incredible line-up on Friday, Feb. 26.
This time MoSS & Eternia the headlining duties which will include a performance and beat showcase. The supporting cast includes OSIYM, Blaq August, Chop-Z, TRPL-R and TrillGod6ix. And along with those performances, K-Fresh and Staalin will be premiering their latest videos for "Green Light" and "Grand Entrance," respectively. Music will be supplied by resident and award-winning DJ Law.
Doors open at 10 p.m. and the show kicks off at 11. This is a 19+ event so bring ID. Bottle and VIP service is available.
Vancouver, BC – Stealth Bomb sweetheart Jaclyn Gee just dropped a bouncy new video for her pop anthem "FML" from her most recent album Gypsy Rose. Miss Gee makes her way through the feels of being in love in the candy-coated Stuey Kubrick visuals.
This video is working for the young hustle babe in all the right ways. Aside from the fact that she's totally adorable "FML" puts Jaclyn at the height of her game. Peep the video below.
St. John's, NL – One of my favourite up-and-comers of 2015, Dope Piece just dropped his latest single titled "Tanqueray" (produced by Mike'L) off the forthcoming #dopeace project.
This song serves as an ode to the cult classic big green bottle of gin with a 40%+ alcohol content. This song also commentates on what happens when everyone gets sloppy drunk together…guaranteed some Tanqueray-sponsored sh*t is going to go down.
Shout-out (as always) to the man Vater for sending this video my way and keeping me in-the-loop with the East Coast. Vater is a legend. Now peep "Tanqueray" below.
Toronto, QC – Derek Wise and Tommy Kruise are two of the most intriguing and creative talents coming out of their respective cities. Both dark and mysterious, but certainly unique in their own right. Wise, a lyricist from the downtown Kensington Market core of Toronto, and Kruise, a trillwave production savage coming out of Montreal (by way of small-town Quebec).
Wise might have already made a bigger name for himself had it not been for some unforeseen setbacks in 2014 that would slow things down. To say the least, it couldn't of come at a worse time since songs like "KENZO" and "Hunnid" had him really poised for bigger things. But Wise fans will be happy to learn that a source has confirmed that those legals headaches are long behind him and he's more determined then ever to take the city by storm. Meanwhile Kruise shows why he's one of the top based (cloud rap) beatsmiths coming up; whatever you want to call that particular hip-hop sub-genre. Kruise is unquestionably in his own lane, but that new age, spaced out sound is doing wonders for his stock value… influential people are taking notice, and fast.
So our Song of the Day is a new collaboration between the two rising stars, with more hopefully in the works. With "GLAM," the XO-affiliate informs an unlucky soul that he's been played and that his now ex-girlfriend is rolling with Wise. "GLAM" is featured on the new Derek Wise EP, Glam Wave. Click here to take it on or check out the single below.

Client Success Stories
Connecticut Woman Receives Lifetime Benefit Valued at Over $44,000
The New England Pension Assistance Project recently helped a Connecticut woman with an unusual pension problem. She came to us a few months after she had retired from a manufacturing company at the age of 71, after having worked there for 46 years. The pension plan had been frozen in 1999, when she had 33 years of service. Her concern was that she was being told that her monthly benefit at age 71 wages the same benefit that would have been payable to her at age 65, and the client did not think this was fair. Read More
Rhode Island Man Receives Retroactive Lump Sum of $17,000
A 71-year-old Rhode Island man with limited English proficiency contacted us with a problem involving the insurance company responsible for his pension. The client had only applied for his pension recently due to the language barrier and other issues, but the plan's Normal Retirement Age for benefit eligibility was 65. Read More
Low-income Rhode Island Widow Finally Gets Her Survivor's Benefit Thanks to Years of Help From Center Staff and Volunteers
Our client, a 75-year-old Rhode Island widow living on an annual income of less than $20,000, contacted us in 2010 about a Notice of Potential Private Pension Benefit which she had received regarding a pension her late husband had earned from a small manufacturing company called P & C Quality Turned Components, Inc. Her late husband had died at the age of 56 without receiving the pension. Read More
Union Pension Fund Demands That Retiree Pay $2,000 (Plus Nearly $8,000 Interest!) For a Supposed Overpayment
Many clients contact us when, out of the blue, they receive a letter from the pension fund telling them that their monthly benefits will be cut so that the plan can recover the overpaid amount, and sometimes also demanding that the retiree pay back a large lump sum as well. Many retirees from Illinois received letters like this from their union pension fund, Sheet Metal Workers Local 73, this past summer, and contacted the Illinois Pension Assistance Project for help. We worked on many of these cases throughout the summer and fall of 2013.
Just a few months ago, a 75-year old retired mechanic who was in Local 73 called us because he had recently received a similar letter. Read More
Massachusetts Man Denied His Retirement Benefits Due to Frequent Changes in His Employer's Name and ID Number
Our client, a 70-year-old man from Central Massachusetts, told us that he had worked as a tool and die setter for a manufacturing company called North & Judd in New Britain, Connecticut, from about 1969 to 1980 or 1981, but had never received his pension and did not know who to contact about it. We opened a case and began to investigate in May of 2011.
We very quickly determined that the North & Judd plan had been terminated and was trusteed by the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC). We helped the client to file a claim with the PBGC, which asked him to provide Social Security Detailed Earnings in support of his claim, since it had no information regarding client's benefit status.

Illinois Pension Assistance Project Helps to Find Lost Pensions for Clients
The Illinois Pension Assistance Project (IPAP) has recovered nearly half a million dollars in pension benefits for clients since its inception in July of 2012. One of the project's areas of expertise is finding lost pensions. Workers and retirees can lose track of their pension benefits since, over time, companies may have gone bankrupt or changed ownership through mergers and acquisitions. Therefore, it is not uncommon for these companies' retirement benefits to become lost.
For example, a 52-year old Illinois resident recently contacted IPAP asking for help locating his pension. The company he worked for from 1984 – 1999 had gone out of business and he did not know who to contact regarding his retirement benefits. Read More
Union Misinterprets ERISA Provision and Improperly Denies an Illinois Retiree's Pension
A 58-year old Teamster contacted the Illinois Pension Assistance Project because the union pension fund had denied him benefits. The individual had been a member of Teamsters Local 734 and had worked in union covered employment at Hostess from 1987 through 1994. Hostess was a contributing employer to the Local 734 Pension Fund. In June 1994, the man transferred from his union job to a management position with Hostess and remained in that position through 1997. When he inquired into his pension, Local 734 told him he was not vested because he left union covered employment before earning 10 years of service.
Upon reviewing the client's documents, we realized that Local 734 was misinterpreting the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)'s provision for "contiguous non-covered service" and had improperly denied our client's pension. Read More
Illinois Man Couldn't Find the Pension He Earned 29 Years Ago
A 64-year old former employee of Caterpillar contacted the Illinois Pension Assistance Project for help finding a lost pension. A pension becomes lost because a company, has moved, been acquired, merged, or gone out of business. When this happens, former employees approaching retirement age don't always know how to collect the retirement benefits they earned.
The client worked for Caterpillar from 1972 through 1984 and was told when he left service that he was vested in a pension. However, 29 years later, as he approached age 65, the client was not sure whom to call for information about his benefit. Read More

PG Ryan Harrow returns to Kentucky after absence
Ryan Harrow was expected to be the next star point guard at Kentucky, following in the footsteps of John Wall, Brandon Knight and Marquis Teague. But the North Carolina State transfer has only played 10 minutes so far this season.
At first, it was announced that Harrow was dealing with flu-like symptoms. Then last week, he returned home to deal with family issues.
On Sunday, Harrow returned to the Wildcats, participating in practice.
"I'm feeling much better, and it felt really good to get back on the practice court with the guys today," Harrow said in a statement. "Unfortunately, when I started feeling better, I had an issue to tend to with my family over the holiday break. Everything is good with that now."
Harrow, a 6-foot-2 sophomore out of Georgia, has the ability to take Kentucky to the next level. Because the Wildcats have so many weapons, they have had the pieces to survive without Harrow -- aside from the loss to Duke in the first week of the season. Archie Goodwin has been playing at the point, and he had nine assists in Friday's win over LIU Brooklyn. But it's certainly no secret that Goodwin is far better on the wing as a scorer. Harrow's return enables everyone to play their natural positions.
Harrow is extremely athletic and has a world of potential. If he is focused and on the floor, Kentucky is simply a better team.

Pregnancy and Chemo a Risky Combo
In general, Gosden says, it's best that egg retrieval be carried out before most types of chemotherapy are begun. Although it is usually possible, there are certain types of leukemias that require starting treatment immediately, which could make it difficult for women to have the embryo-removing procedure done in time. Not wanting to delay starting chemotherapy has been a main reason doctors have performed egg retrieval and IVF with embryo freezing after chemotherapy has begun.
Gosden also says scientists have assumed that the children produced so far from embryos created by IVF prior to their mother's cancer treatment are healthy. But he says more research is needed to follow these children throughout their lives to make sure they don't develop health problems later in life. The same goes for women who have had natural pregnancies years after cancer treatment.
"Perhaps we need to do further checks to make sure our sense of complacency is well justified," says Gosden, of the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal.
The researchers also warn against becoming pregnant too quickly after being treated for cancer. In the animal studies, the risk for birth defects decreased as the time since chemotherapy increased.
Women with a diagnosis of cancer who are of childbearing age, those who are expecting to receive chemotherapy for cancer, and those who will be receiving cyclophosphamide for other conditions like lupus should talk with their doctors and/or with an expert in genetics or maternal-fetal medicine. If they do become pregnant, they also should inform their child's pediatrician that they received chemotherapy in the past.

I have a taxation question regarding tax to e paid on a legal judgment. I won a $2,000 legal judgment in 2013 and the Plaintiff required me to send a W-9 before paying me. The $2,000 ended up reported to the IRS and it now appears that I have to pay taxes on it. However, the $2,000 was offset by property damage that the Plaintiff caused me. In reality, I did not gain anything because the damage I sustained equals the amount the Plaintiff paid me. Is there a way to avoid paying taxes on this amount? Is there a way to deduct the $2,000 of damages I sustained from my gross income such that the $2,000 payment passes to me tax-free?
Criminal Defense Attorney
A settlement of judgment in a suit for personal (physical) injury is excluded from income. This was not a personal injury suit. I would consult with a tax lawyer (you will need to provide more details about the cause of the damage, what was damaged, time of the damage and time of the recovery) to get a reliable answer to your question.
Tax Lawyer
If you received it for property damages it is probably taxable, probably as capital gains. Discuss it with a CPA. The CPA will have to see the complaint and the judgment.

Can I do this? --> tm1 structure = 1 jan 1970 midnight tm2 structure = current time from array[].
time1 = mktime(tm1);

DescriptionAdventure games emphasize experiencing a story through dialogue and puzzle solving. Gameplay mechanics emphasize decision over action. Puzzle solving usually revolves around combining or manipulating items to advance the story. Some sub-genres like visual novels often skip on the puzzle solving and focus fully on interactive narrative. The name Adventure stems from the game Adventure (a.k.a. Colossal Cave), and not to the unrelated film/book genre Adventure.

Skip to comments.Obama shifts debt-talk tactics, drops call for end to Bush tax rates
Posted on 06/27/2011 3:21:33 PM PDT by Siena Dreaming
President Obama, seeking a Republican agreement to raise the nation's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling by Aug 2, will not insist that any deal include an end of President Bush's controversial tax rates on the wealthy.
Obama's tactics are coming into clearer focus: they involve seeking higher taxes not on a broad swath of high income earners but on a narrower band of the super rich, such as owners of private jets. This means that those who earn $250,000 have got a reprieve.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
If the article is correct, it may be that oil/gas will be their main target in tonight's negotiations.
which means its still a tax on everyone, just called something else.
I say if the green energy cannot bring their take away all subsidies
Name names. Let Obama confiscate all assets above ten million from the following:
George Soros
Warren Buffett
Bill Gates
David Geffen
Steven Spielberg
Geoffrey Immelt
et cetera until every Marxist billionaire in America has given his all to Uncle Sam.
"Obama's tactics are coming into clearer focus: they involve seeking higher taxes not on a broad swath of high income earners but on a narrower band of the super rich, such as owners of private jets." So did MaCaskill pay up the taxes owed for the jet she owns part of?
How about a flat 99.8% tax rate on anyone who has given more than $100 to the Democrat party or any Democrat candidate.
no end of Bush tax cuts, i think i just heard some heads explode over in DUmmieland.
Ah yes, get those who work for the super-rich in the unemployment lines.
That's how to turn this economy round!
A transparent attempt to find a way to give the GOP a fig leaf when they cave.
I can see a token loophole closing if the cuts are real and large. But what I suspect is Obama targets oil companies because 1) they are not individuals, so easier to scapegoat, and 2) anything that tends to raise energy prices is a good thing as far as he is concerned.
Ideally, you'd have a tax structure which would have minimum loopholes. However, once you've put them in, investments have been made on that basis, and changing the rules screws up business calculations, and makes business wary of new investments. Also, the loopholes are often a way of selling the original raised tax rates that they avoid, so this is like pulling the football away from Charlie Brown yet another time.
The real issue is not taxes, though, but spending in the sense of how much of the economy runs through government hands. Anyone who has dealt with a city, state, or federal bureaucracy knows that they are not efficient because it isn't their money they are handling, and there are very few employment consequences to inefficiency. Ergo, a modest government is best.
Any negotiations must be framed around the fact that Obama's initiatives have taken the Federal government from its traditional level of 18 to 20% of GDP to 25%. At the same time, the states are spending more and more, in part due to Federal mandates. If cutting isn't the major focus, none of the dancing around the "loophole" edges will make any difference.
my thinking as well-
call it poetic justice as i remember reading this article before the '08 election (my work computer does not allow me to open blogs)...
The Rich Support McCain, the Super-Rich Support Obama
Oct 13, 2008 · blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2008/10/13/the-rich-support-mccain-the-super-rich-support-obama
based on the actions of the criminals in this WH towards car dealerships that donated to the GOP in '08 and their actions on the pensions of non-union auto workers my guess is they'd prefer that tax rate be assigned to anyone who donated GOP...
I just got a Phone Bill.
FCC Reg Fee on CTV srv = $0.08.
Fed Acs Single Line = $6.50.
Internet Regulatory Fee = $1.47.
County 911 = $1.50.
Federal Tax = $0.22.
Universal Service Fund = $0.97.
State Tax = $0.78.
County Tax = $0.59.
CTV Franchise Tax = $2.60.
A hundred years ago, evil people pulled a gun on you and robbed you of what you had. Today, government takes it in a thousand little bites. F@ck you Obama.
Good plan. A billionare TaxMeMore tax on any billionaire who favors higher taxes. A 1% wealth tax would do, with an exemption form like this:
( ) I support Big Government, I will pay the tax. This will count as a charitable deduction for income tax purposes.
( ) I believe in small Government, I decline to pay the tax
Then raid the Ford Foundation and McArthur Foundation and the other liberal foundations on a likewise basis.
I went over there to watch some fireworks, but so far no sign that this rumor has hit them.
Oh sh!t, dude...you just used the real numbers and exactly like they were on your effing bill, dude!....Now, all NSA gotta do is search and match...you're screwed - they know who you are!......
Genius Mitch McConnel looks more like the idiot he is for making his Christmas Deal to "Take Tax Hikes off the table" for two years. RINO Morons strike again.
the DUmmies are usually about 4 hrs behind the rest of the world, its because it takes a while for the ostrich to get its head out of the sand and unplug the fingers out of the ears.
NO MORE TAXES, DAMMIT! The federal government already takes in $2 TRILLION a year. That is MORE than enough!
Republicans and especially The Wino RINO Weeper, DO NOT DO IT!!
Don't forget Nancy Pelosi - net worth 26 million
How about Barbara Streisand and Opra Winfrey? They should be on the list!!
I thought they'd all be for it, but was surprised to see that the majority of them look at this ban as "nanny-statism".
One of them actually wondered if he's getting conservative in his old age because he's getting tired of these bans on food, etc. and said it's odd that these kinds of bans are nowadays attached to liberals when he always thought they were associated with the right wing LOL.
"will not insist" You don't get to "INSIST" on anything, SUCKER. We are holding all the cards.
Universal Service Fund = $0.97.= the Algore internet tax.
IIRC, he was the tiebreaker vote
The more the merrier!
Obama ruins everything he touches.
The Al Gore internet tax what a joke!
One of the reasons I despise the GOP is they won't talk about the rich democrats in congress. Everytime one of them gets in front of a camera he should mention how much obama "earned" last year and how much Pelosi is worth.
I don't know why they won't do this. It would never make it past he editing room on any network but FOX. And I'm not sure about that.
Obama is garbage, but if you seriously think these taxes are of 2008 vintage you are mistaken.
No. I don't. He will make more like them. They are just examples of the bullshit names and purposes of things to come in larger sizes.
Didn't Carter do this to the luxury boat business when he decided large boats needed an extra tax on them?
IIRC the ones that suffered were the boat builders.
And Nancy Pelosi....her net worth went up 66% in 2010...so she must have some spare cash.
Don't know if you heard Berney Goldberg on Oreilly tonight but I agree with him. The pubs and all conservatives need to call out the demons for every hypocritical comment they make. Racism, class warfare etc.

|Willowhaven Country Club -- Great Greens, A Little Short on Length
|Review by: Anonymous
|I'm not a member at WillowHaven CC, but I've played the course about 8 times and each time has been a great experience. I'm 10 handicap who has both scored well and bad at this course. Though the course can be considered to be somewhat short (6400 from the tips), it has a definite identity with its dog legs, tree lined fairways and excellent greens. You can truly end up over par on a hole if you're approach shot is not placed in the proper location on or around the green. I have played many courses in Pinehurst and around Raleigh and I always look forward to a round at this course. I'm very suprised that this course has not received much pub when I search on the Internet.

Every Memorial Day Weekend two things happen: I remember those who served and sacrificed for our country — it's the meaning of the holiday — but then I inevitably traipse off to the beach with family in tow and am reminded of what it means to be a Floridian as summer sets in.
It's the weekend when we Floridians emerge from our cocoons and rediscover a world filled with sun, sand, waves and incredible tans that make us look like coconut-scented gods.
I knew what I was in for when I played the voicemail message and heard what sounded like a train wreck being swallowed by a tornado to the tune of whirling banshees.
Children. Three of them. All staying at my house. One of them mine. Two from out of town.
They had decided to leave me a message: "BONGO JIMMY," they screamed. A phrase I made up. Played back to me it sounded like an ice pick to the ear drums.
I considered phoning a travel agent and booking a trip somewhere quiet and peaceful and heavy on the Mai Tais.
Oh no. It's July 6. Deep into summer. Cresting the hill. No, heading downhill. Picking up speed. And with so much left to do.
Daggone summer house projects!
I live in an old house. A really old house. One that needs what all old houses need: Money. Attention. Brain cells. (And I long ago filed for bankruptcy on that last one.)
Old houses will consume you. They will turn your summer into one long, unending project. That is, unless you procrastinate long enough and never begin any projects. Then your house will literally fall down and consume you.
"Dad!" pounced the kid as I walked in the door for lunch. "Ready to do some science experiments?"
Ambushed is more like it. Was it even at the door? Maybe it was out by the front gate. She jumped me from the bushes like some kind of jungle cat.
"Come on. Let's get to work!"
I didn't even have time to put my keys down before I was dragged off.
Pop was in town. That's my dad. He went shopping. "I hope it's OK," he said.
Ah, how I missed you, oppressive, swarming, relentless Florida heat.
It seems you were on vacation this year. Took some time off. Came back late. But I realized last weekend you're finally home. You've unpacked and you're ready to torch.
I was outside cutting down tree branches. It was Sunday morning. Father's Day. There are few better ways to celebrate being a father than firing up a chain saw, gnawing through some wood and praying that the teetering branch the length of Texas doesn't come down on you like a cartoon fly swatter.
Sometimes you have to let your inner stupid out. Other times you need a good smack to the forehead, lodging him deep, deep inside.
That's what I'm wrestling with as the little voice in my head keeps imploring me to let my inner stupid free.
Do I listen? Do I?
It's all thanks to a colleague. He approached me at a work picnic and asked if I wanted to partake in something life changing. Something liberating. Something I would never forget.
That's the size of the red bike helmet with pink tiger stripes. It arrived in the mail for my daughter. (Not for me! I would have picked butterflies.)
The size? I'll say it again. Youth!
With an exclamation point. As in, "Daggone" or "Are you kidding me?!?"
Because that's the way it made me feel when I read it.
More like, Youch!
The old bike helmet had started fitting her like a Yamaka. Like one of those silly, undersized hats that monkeys sometimes wear.
Now comes the time when talk turns to getting out of town like you've robbed a bank. Travel books come home from the library. Credit cards are polished and prayed over — "Please have money on you! Please!" It's vacation-planning season. Time to start thinking about where to go, how to get there and most of all, how to screw it up when you arrive. I love vacation planning. Almost as much as the trip itself. So as we all ready for excursions, here are some planning tips from my years of experience:
And now the day in which we give many thanks to moms everywhere. (And try to do something nice, like make a huge Mother's Day mess in the kitchen that mom will feel obligated to clean up — she knows her family is a bunch of incompetent boobs.)
Happy Mother's Day! You deserve it!
At 41, I've decided it's finally time to start listening to my mother. At least on some things. Like Little Joe. Her cat.
Little Joe threw his knee out. How he did this, no one knows. In fact, no one even knew cats had knees until this. My mother worried the vet would think she did something to him. Because how else can you explain a cat whose knee started popping out of its socket?
It was my first car. A white 1965 Ford Mustang. I was 15, and couldn't even drive it alone.
It had a puny 6-cylinder engine. It would have struggled to beat a sewing machine in a head-to-head race. And if it was uphill, forget it!
My mother intended it that way. She didn't want her boys to have speed. My brother had a nearly identical Mustang — just as glorious to look at. Just as slow.

Authorities in St. Maarten say a man and a woman have surrendered to police in connection with an attack last month on two CBS News employees who were on vacation from New York. The victims say their attackers shouted anti-gay slurs.
The two, who were arrested on Saturday, are suspected of inflicting grievous bodily harm and attempted manslaughter in the April 6 attack, according to Taco Stein, St. Maarten's chief prosecutor.
Stein declined to release the names of the suspects, who both live in St. Martin, the French side of the island. St. Maarten, the other half of the island, is Dutch. The two countries share the island, which is a popular Caribbean tourist destination.
A third suspect - another man from St. Martin - was arrested in mid-April. Stein says authorities will probably make more arrests.
The victims - Dick Jefferson, a senior producer at CBS News, and Ryan Smith, a production secretary at CBS News - were outside a bar in St. Maarten with a group of friends when they were beaten by attackers they say were yelling anti-gay slurs.
Both victims were airlifted to Miami for medical treatment; Jefferson was later released from the hospital and returned to work. Smith, who was more seriously injured, is being treated for brain damage and is still in the hospital.
In a letter to friends, Smith says he intends to make a complete recovery.
"The night of the attempted murder, the attackers verbally assaulted me and my friends, hit me with a chair with the intent to do bodily harm, and left me with no doubt that the monsters had every intention of killing me and friends outside the bar," he said in the letter, written on Monday.
Smith could not read, write or understand what people were saying for more than two weeks after brain surgery, but "decided early on in the healing process that I would not let the killers have the power to determine my destiny ... I have every intention to do whatever I can to reach a full recovery, and I know the cards are in my favor," he wrote.

Product Description
"Set in Calgary, this slim book will have universal appeal ... A hardcover edition would be welcome in any juvenile collection" (Highlands Regional Library Cooperative Book Evaluation Program)
"The book's strengths are many, including fast-paced action, a likeable first person narrator, and realistic conflict. It is refreshing to see well-written Hi-lo novels that offer options for fast-paced reads that reach beyond "at-risk youth" themes and may appeal to a different demographic of reluctant readers."
Recommended. (Devon Greyson CM: Canadian Review of Materials 2012-02-17) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Sharon DeVellis: Inside Scoop
It's no secret I love StumbleUpon but every once in awhile I come across a gem that I bookmark, this was one of them. It's MulticolorEngine. What is it exactly? In their words,"We extracted the colors from 10 million Creative Commons images on Flickr. Search this collection by color. Addictive and very likely the best color search engine in the world*!"
Read the whole post
Lately I've been struggling with writing about my boys. When I first started blogging they were young, a toddler and baby. The stories I told may have been about them but they also were mine. When they didn't sleep through the night, it was also about my own sleep deprivation. When they fought, it included my frustration.Now they are older, boys with opinions and experiences all their own and those stories no longer belong to me–they belong to them.
You're probably close to being done your Christmas shopping, right?
Ya, me either.
But I've got some of the major stuff including an iPod for Son No. 2, and yes, I struggled with that one because I really don't believe kids need as much tech as they have access to, but I digress.
Last year when I dropped my phone I learned you want to purchase a cover for any techy hand-held devices, especially when tiny hands and expensive gifts are involved.
Ta da!
One of the moms I sit with in the stands at speed skating every week pulled out her camera on Sunday and showed me a picture of a friend of hers wearing this.
Like many of you with kids, my boys have been getting Santa photos since they were babies. I love the pictures but they would be put on display at Christmas and when the holidays were over they'd would be packed up in a box or album never to be seen again. This year I decided to use them as part of our Christmas decor.
We were decorating our Christmas tree on Saturday when it happened.
I have these ornaments that are special to me. They're from my childhood and when my mom passed away my sister and I divided them between us. They always sit front and centre on our tree reminding me of my mom and memories from Christmases past. Unfortunately, the ornaments are also quite delicate and through the years some have broken—there are only four left that are whole.
In case you live in a cave, this is the newest internet video to go viral. It's a public service announcement campaign by Metro Trains in Melbourne, Australia and ever since my kids showed it to me I can't get the catchy little song out of my head so now I'm going to pass that favour on to you.
You're welcome.
We received an email update from my sons' school informing us that the teachers will be in position to participate in strike action on December 13th. As someone who works from home, I'm lucky in the sense that this will not affect me to the point it will be disruptive. While it's not ideal to try to work with two active boys racing around in my office space, I don't need to take time off work nor will I have to arrange for childcare. But I know it will affect many parents out there. So I'm wondering...
I have fond memories of making magazine Christmas trees as a child using the Sears catalogue. In retrospect I realize how smart my mom was to give us such a big magazine to make these cute crafts. This is a fun project for kids of any age and I'm happy to report my two boys had an absolute blast making them.
The holidays are coming up which means kids are home from school and lots of time to create fun memories (or keep from going completely insane). While we do a lot of old-school stuff like sledding, skating, and gingerbread house making, here are a few ideas—some new, some tried, tested and true—to help you over the holiday hump.
Dear Drivers,I get that you're being polite and nice. And typically I love polite and nice. I'm the mom who leans over her kids nudging them with an elbow when they're given a treat, toy, or money, and gently remind them "What are you supposed to say?""Thank you," they sing-song back in unison.I make them write thank-you notes, hold doors open for the people behind us, keep the elevator door from closing when someone is running towards it, and apologize when they've wronged a friend.
When my son was six, he began to wear ties to school. I can't even remember the first time it happened or why he chose to wear a tie that first day. Had I known how it would evolve I would have written it down, because now, years later, he wears either a dress shirt and tie or full suit and tie every single day.
It has become such a normal part of our lives, I don't even see it anymore. But others do.
It makes sense to me.
It happens all the time—PR agencies sending out bulk emails beginning with Dear Mommy Blogger. A few weeks ago an email was sent out to the masses that was clearly supposed to be a mail merge but someone forgot to actually do the merge part and the email was sent out addressed to: Dear [First Name] [Last Name]. Oh the tweets about that one!
I've read the rants time and time again—bloggers complaining about PR people being 'lazy' and 'I'm not just a mom blogger' and 'that term is so insulting.'
Every year I leave Blissdom feeling inspired but this year I left feeling lucky.
Lucky that I work with such a talented, diverse, fun group of people.
Lucky that so many of the women I admire are now also my friends.
Lucky that Twitter has allowed me to connect with people I would never have met otherwise.
Lucky that I've been offered amazing opportunites I will never take for granted.
Lucky that I know learning never ends and there are no stupid questions so we need to continue to ask.
The birds in my neck of the woods have been acting a bit cuckoo lately. There's been large flocks flying around in swarms and it's kind of ruffling my feathers because I don't know why. Thankfully, I was a lucky duck and able to catch a bit of it on video. Can someone tell me....is it Armageddon? Or simply natural behaviour?
If you know me, you know I love doing my nails. I've had denim nails and used nail polish that changes colour with your mood.
One of the hottest nail colours of Fall 2012 is grey (thank you Anastasia and Christian) so when I went grocery shopping this past weekend I couldn't help but scoop up four bottles to try out an ombre look.
Spill it! What do you think - Yay or nay to Ombre Grey Nails?
A long time ago I wrote about how to pitch a story idea to a website/magazine. The most frequently asked questions I received after writing it were, "How do I build a relationship?" and "How do I get my foot in the door with an editor?"
Blissdom is coming up and there is much talk about relationships.
Forget about hell having no fury like a woman scorned, that fury has nothing, NOTHING, on me when I'm PMSing.
