Directly to WBAN!
(NOV 11) Layla, first of
all, I would
like to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule
to be interviewed by WBAN. Your career, as you
probably know, began at about the
same time that WBAN came into existence in 1998.
Fox: When you
first entered the arena of professional boxing, what was your
impression as to where the sport was going at the time?
Thank you Sue. Always an honor to be included in a WBAN article.
Great question! When I turned pro in 1998, Christy Martin was
becoming a regular feature on Mike Tyson events. These were
major fight cards promoted by the most famous promoter of all
time, Don King. There seemed to be no limits to the potential of
women's boxing.
Fox: You had a rocky beginning in the sport and yet, you appeared
to be determined to get to a point that you would eventually
succeed, which you obviously have done throughout the
years. What changed your career around?
I was always focused on becoming the very best. I knew through
hard work and determination that anything was possible but
needed to make the choices that would take me there. I moved to
the boxing capitol of the world Las Vegas, Nevada to find a
manager and trainer that would give my career a chance. I was
very fortunate to meet Luis Tapia who did just that. Aside from
my own efforts, I owe all my success as a fighter to Luis Tapia.
He prepared me for war, we took every fight that came, but this
time around I won! Also, throughout my journey in boxing I�ve
been blessed with others who helped or inspired me, especially kickboxer Marc Costello who did both.

her longtime Trainer/Manager
Fox: In about what year did you relocate to Las Vegas, Nevada, and
how did you end up meeting and working with Luis Tapia?
McCarter: In early 2000, almost 16 years ago, I left Spokane, Washington
to make Vegas my home. I was almost 21, checking out the local
boxing scene and trying to survive. I was training at Richard
Steel's Nevada Partners gym and working at Pat Clark Pontiac. I
booked a fight with America Presents on Fox TV at the Regent
Hotel/Casino in Vegas. My undefeated opponent didn't show up, so
my fight was cancelled. Heavyweight contender Friday Ahunanya
was on the same show vs. Augustine Corpus. Friday was managed by
Luis Tapia. One of my sparring partners Dexter Williams
mentioned that Tapia managed many fighters and owned the world
famous Johnny Tocco's Ringside Gym.
Dexter briefly introduced us
at the fight and Luis told me to stop by the gym. Tapia had me
spar some guys there because he thought they would beat me up
and he could tell me to get lost. Didn't happen that way. Luis
eventually gave in and decided to help this persistent kid (me)
and the rest was history.
Fox: I know that sometime during the time from being in Las
Vegas, in your earlier career, you were attending college and
you earned a two-year degree in Criminal Justice, is this
something you look at in the future when you retire from boxing
to get in a law enforcement type of profession or do you see
yourself working outside the ring, but working with other
boxers, etc,. or both careers?
McCarter: Maybe both. Perhaps working with juvenile offenders. I have
assisted Luis with other fighters' conditioning etc. and have
worked as his cut person throughout the past 15 years. In the
future I'll continue to assist and advise young fighters to help
them make the right decisions in the ring and in life. I think
they can learn from my experience.
Fox: You have fought JUST about any and everyone in this sport,
and multiple times, I might add. I know you have been
wanting to fight Cecilia Braekhus (which do you think that will
ever be a reality for you?), But with that added to this
question, who else is on your hit list?
I would like to fight Cecilia Braekhus. That would be a great
fight. It just depends on whether K2 or any other promoters are
willing to pay us closer to what we are worth. The only people
left on my hit list are boxing promoters. Lol!
Fox: We have really hit a lull in women�s boxing at
late, especially in the United States, with you as a current
boxer in the sport, what do you think could be done to reverse
what we are seeing with the lack of activity on boxing cards for
McCarter: It is entirely up to the promoters to change the sport. Females
are being kept out of the game because of antiquated mentalities
about women and their roles. It's hard to show them what we can
do when good female fighters are never given a platform to be
seen. I want to take that next step and become a promoter. I�m
currently working toward this goal with some friends. I want to
ensure that young boxers, especially females will have a place
to build their careers. Hopefully by then, the networks and big
promoters will have a change of heart and promote women's boxing
the way it deserves to be promoted. UFC has done it with Ronda
Rousey. She is an excellent MMA fighter but no one would know
that if she was never allowed on the big stage. Good fighters
plus good promotion equals money!
Fox: Where do you see yourself in five years? Do you think you
will continue to fight for that amount of time or do you have
other ideas what you may be doing?
I'd like to fight as long as I'm able to enjoy it. The lack of
promotion and negativity is a downer but my instincts tell me to
keep going to the gym and keep pushing. Perhaps in 5 years I
will be promoting others from outside the ring. I also play
Texas Hold-em poker and will continue to do so.
Fox: If you were to give any advice to new female boxers on the
scene, what would want to tell them from your veteran
McCarter: There is currently no gold at the end of the rainbow but don�t
give up if it's really your passion. Follow it as long as it
makes sense to you. It's not only about the money. The
experiences I've had in my life because of boxing are worth much
To make a living you must be realistic and make money at
something because belts and memories don't pay the rent. Look
out for yourself because no one else will. Carve out a secondary
passion and work at it too.
Also, to get respect we must never lower the standards that male
boxers aspire to. Don't ever limit yourself. Due to jealousy,
insecurities, and other factors, people will always try to kill
your passion. Fight to keep it alive as if your survival depends
on it. ..It may in fact!
Fox: Any last comments, anything I may not have asked,
any other things you would like to say to boxing fans and the boxing
Thank you to Sue Fox of WBAN for your tireless and fierce
support for lady warriors. Takes one to know one! You are an
inspiration to me. Special thanks to all the fans and members of
the media who support and shed light where it's most needed.
Battling it out on our behalf in person and on the net, you are
appreciated more than you know! Thank you Sue Fox, Mary Ann Owen
& Butch Gottlieb, Stephen Blea, Amy Green, Franco
Fontanero, James "Quick" Tillis, Vanessa Williams, Jaime Estrada, Randy Howe, Steve Carp, David
Avila, Raymond Spencer, Rich Marotta, Rod Mahaffey (RIP), Chris Robinson, Jody
Kohn, Rich Mortars, Michelle Corrales-Lewis the NVBHOF, Michelle
Rosado and so many others!
To the fighters: we are here for a
short time and we must give the best of ourselves and what we
stand for. Your efforts may have the power to inspire the
changes that we are striving for today! Love and respect.

San Diego police slapped a cell phone camera out of a man's hands Saturday, claiming it could be a weapon, before pouncing on him and handcuffing him, lacerating his chin in the process.
Adam Pringle ended up jailed overnight on charges of obstruction because he refused to hand the phone over when the cop ordered him to do so.
But it's already been established by numerous court cases as well as the U.S. Department of Justice that police do not have the right to take your camera unless it is being used in a commission of a crime.
In this case, Pringle's only crime was smoking a cigarette on a Mission Beach boardwalk, a violation for which he was already getting cited.

The Cyclist. This picture was taken during the Dutch Championships in a little village called Echteld (nearby Tiel). One by one starting for a race against the clock. Walking on the new-made dykes, in february '95 there was almost a disaster in this area, I decided not to take an action-photo. Looking for a 'dreaming-photo' I took the grass and wild flowers almost as the main subject. By using a 300mm tele- photo lens the cyclist in the background is making the photo to a perfect combination of sport and art.

Foster Botanical Garden, Honolulu Reviews - Write a Review
I love that Honolulu makes city parks and gardens a priority. We live close to this place and have been to several events here like the art installation. The flowers and trees are beautiful. The park is a wonderful place to have a date or a picnic.
My mother asked me to take her to a garden in Hawaii. It came to our surprise how beautiful this Garden really is. We were able to experience thousands of plants we have never seen in our lives. We also saw the tallest plant in the entire world which is so unique & was a wonderful experience to have Witnessed. We spent few hours here appreciating the beauty here in Hawaii.
Beautiful botanical garden in the city. The old trees were amazing. The rainbow eucalyptus was awesome. Another must see botanical garden. I saw the Talipot palm in bloom!
Love this place, beautiful, historic, great guided tour... a bit long but worth it as the guide was wonderful and full of great knowledge, plus the gardens themselves are amazing. I've been several times and always love going back!
Really enjoyed our visit, perfect for little ones to run around and get dirty. Some of the trees just take your breath away. Will go again for sure! No playground. Yes bathroom facilities. Yes shaded. Yes gated.

This is in response to a recent letter discussing the proposed Fair Tax.
The Fair Tax is a good idea. Will Americans be paying fewer taxes with it? No, but they won't be paying more either.
The whole idea is to simplify the tax system. It would make it easier for the government to collect and prevent the rich from manipulating the tax laws in their favor.
What the Fair Tax boils down to is a big sales tax that covers everything.
There would be no more income taxes, property taxes, capital gains taxes or death taxes (at least for the federal government). So instead of taxing your income on the way in, they tax it on the way out, universally.
The Fair Tax is not a new idea; it has already been working well in other countries.
The system is also smaller and more efficient. The income tax system has a reputation of being corrupt with evasion, not including the legal loopholes and offshore bank accounts.
Instead, the Fair Tax is regulated at points of sales. Every business is checked and reviewed based on the most visible of all things, receipts. No more lengthy personal finance audits on over 280 million individuals.
So who shouldn't like the Fair Tax? Good question. There are certainly some groups that will not benefit from the Fair Tax.
How about illegal immigrants living in our country? Some estimates put them at 12 million, using our roads, police protection, firefighters, military security, etc., and not paying a dime.
But with the Fair Tax, every time they go to the store, they, too, can contribute to Uncle Sam.
That's 12 million paying customers right there. Sign them up!
Who else? How about drug dealers or other criminals who earn their living (sometimes substantial) without ever reporting it?
They would pay their share every time they bought a new suit or bought a train ticket.
Of course, others who will be affected are those who have the luxury of not working anymore.
That's right, those who have huge bank accounts or investments that are taxed at a fraction of the income tax rate.
Yes, our current tax system is an island paradise if you don't have income coming in.
Now, some people are thinking retirees.
Yes, that's one group, but think of it more exclusively.
If you plan on working in retirement, owning a business or have a pension, then you still have income coming in that won't be touched with the Fair Tax.
And if you already own your house, land or other big-ticket items, then you have a distinct advantage. You won't have to pay the Fair Tax in purchasing them.

Water torture: Tankers on standby with supplies for Ulster as families tell of misery
- Crisis deepens as families struggle by without water for tenth day
- Homes flooded with raw sewage after pipes burst during cold snap
- Doctors fear for health of the elderly and vulnerable people
- English tankers to be put on stand-by to take more water to NI
Stocking up: A youngster smiles as he walks away an armful of water bottles which have been delivered to East Belfast
Tankers of water from the rest of the country are to be offered to Northern Ireland as thousands
of people face the prospect of coping for a fortnight without a running supply.
The mains crisis deepened last night as it emerged that supplies may not be restored until next week.
Around 32,000 properties are still without water in Belfast and surrounding towns after pipes burst during the freezing weather and subsequent thaw before Christmas.
Some families have been living without drinking water and unable to flush their toilets for 12 days. Others have had their homes flooded with raw sewage.
Mother-of-three Diane McKay, who lives in an isolated part of County Down, near Castlewellan, has been without water since Monday.
Mrs McKay, who has a baby and two children aged under three, said: 'We have been poorly from Christmas Day and have had no water in the house since Monday.
'You cannot flush the toilets, you cannot get washed, it is a disaster.'
She said her husband farms 300 cattle and has been forced to draw water from a nearby river to keep them alive.
Mother-of-two Lillian Kennedy in Lisburn has had no water for eight days.
'I've two young children and I can't bath them,' she said. 'To me, it's unhygienic, you don't feel as if you are clean.
'You can't flush the toilet, it's like living like a tramp. All the shops round here are out of bottled water and the nearest depot is 40 miles away.
'You say to yourself there's only so long you can cope without water. How long is it going to go on?'
Doctors have warned that the lack of water – coupled with the onset of the winter vomiting bug – could cause a major public health scare among the elderly and vulnerable.
Engineers have identified one property in the north of the region which was losing enough water to provide for 2,000 to 3,000 homes each day.
Although an extra 5,500 million gallons are being pumped into the system each day, the vast majority is being lost in leaks, Northern Ireland Water said.
The Stormont executive held an emergency meeting yesterday as the chief executive of NIW faced fresh pressure to resign over the company's handling of the crisis.
An elderly man with a walking stick arrives at a collection point to take away a water canister in a plastic bag he has brought. The water being distributed to residents in Belfast has been provided by the Scottish government
Last night, the deputy First Minister said sackings should be made at the water company. Martin McGuinness said: 'There has to be accountability and, under those circumstances, we are not going to stand here and make excuses for a body that has so miserably failed our citizens.'
Glynn Roberts, chief executive of the Northern Ireland Independent Retail Trade Association, said: 'How come other parts of the UK went through similar weather conditions, but haven't suffered the drought we have?
'Heads should roll because of the disastrous response.'
Bringing in additional tankers of water from Britain is one of the measures being discussed after the Department of Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs offered to step in and help. Tens of thousands of bottles of water have already been given by the Scottish government.
Bosses said many of the problems stemmed from burst pipes in vacant business premises, whose owners could still be unaware of the leaks because of the Christmas break.
End of the line: Families fill bottles and cans from temporary supplies set up at public centres
Thirsty work: A man carries away free bottled water, provided by the City Council, from outside the Olympia Leisure Centre in Belfast
Helpful neighbour: A Northern Ireland Water employee in Belfast delivers bottled water supplied by the Scottish government
Yesterday it also emerged that the
fire service has been forced to step in to help after NIW shut off
supplies to two hospitals – only restoring them following complaints
from health chiefs.
In Belfast, people queued at leisure centres for access to showers and bottled water.
Emergency water supplies were also delivered to elderly residents at three sheltered housing developments in the east of the city. Father-of-six John McMahon, from Rostrevor, has been without water for a week.
Helping hand: Lord Mayor of Belfast Pat Convery loads bottled water as families and businesses are warned repairs to the pipes which has stopped the supply of water will take longer to complete
Supplies: The Scottish government have donated 160,000 litres of water to ease the shortage
He said: 'NI Water are very poor at
communicating information. I'm in an exceptional position with six young
children, so people like me are really suffering.
'Our Christmas has been effectively ruined.'
Ministers are anxious to bring the emergency to an end before hundreds of schools reopen next week.
Trevor Haslett, director of
engineering at NIW, said the situation in urban areas was improving and
should be better by this afternoon.
However, he added: 'It could be early next week before everybody is on supply.'
Water firms across the UK have been flooded with calls in the aftermath of the cold snap - with one receiving more than 40,000 calls since Christmas Eve.
North West water company United Utilities said it had answered an 'unprecedented' volume of calls - ten times the usual number - to report burst pipes and leaks.
United Utilities said the problem was caused by ice melting following the prolonged cold snap. This can cause the ground to move, putting unusual stress on pipes, causing them to leak or burst.
Meanwhile, above ground, frozen pipework in homes and businesses is beginning to thaw, leading to more leaks.
Scott Beard, United Utilities' regional water network manager, said: 'It is not unusual to see the number of bursts increase when the temperature shifts after a prolonged cold snap.
'We are fully geared up, with extra call takers, engineers and specialist leak detection teams all giving up their holidays and working round the clock.
'We have also brought in additional 4X4 vehicles to make sure our engineers can get to more remote areas which are still snowbound.'
And the picture is the same up and down the country.
Yorkshire Water, which covers 32,000 kilometres of pipes, doubled their call centre staff to more than 100 to cope with approximately 8,000 calls in December.
A company spokesman said: 'It's been a really, really busy, challenging last four weeks.
'We are dealing with around 250 bursts across the region and typically we are repairing around 160 leaks a day.'
He added that most customers were calling about frozen pipes in their homes, which water companies are not responsible for.
He said: 'North Yorkshire local authorities discovered 80 leaks on schools within their jurisdiction yesterday.
'That's an incredible amount and gives perspective to the scale of the problem.'
From mid-December Anglian Water, which covers 13 counties, has had 'just short of 3,000 bursts,' it said and has managed to fix two-thirds.
Spokesman John Clare said: 'Winter started earlier than we expected but we were prepared with extra staff and kit because of previous bad winters.
'There has been a 300 per cent increase in work in recent weeks.'

The Second Annual Big BBQ Bash at the Alcoa Springbrook Center was bigger and even better than last year. Lots of folks came out to enjoy barbecue, music, and fun in the sun. Attendance looked to be much higher than last year, and there were new competitors from all over. One welcome change was the addition of a dining tent which provided a shady spot sit and enjoy your barbecue.
The Big BBQ Bash is a charity event put on by local businesses and community organizations who donate their time, effort, and barbecuing skills to support local charities. This year's charity was the Blount County Community Campus, a joint effort between local government, private not for profit organizations, and local philanthropic companies to develop "a central location for essential social services for Blount County residents."
The BBQ competition ("not sanctioned by any barbecue organization or any one else") features these divisions:
1) Pork Shoulder or Butt - pulled, chopped or sliced
2) Brisket - sliced, 5 lbs. minimum, pre-cooked weight
3) Pork Ribs Whole
4) One Half Chicken - chopped, sliced or pulled.
5) Anything But (trophy only, "must be edible and you may have to prove it!"
Entries are judged on "Aroma, Color, Texture, Taste, Overall." First prize in each division is an impressive $3000, $1500 to the team and $1500 to their designated charity. We didn't stick around for the awards, so you'll have to check their website tomorrow for the list of official winners.
Congratulations to the City of Alcoa and everyone else involved for putting on a great event. It's shaping up to be a major new regional festival and we're looking forward to next year.
Some photos after the jump...

Big Special Thanks to Smoke on the Water
I want to give a big special thanks to Charlie Wear and all the members of Smoke on the Water, winners of the pulled pork. Charlie Wear, Jim Koons, Alan Jones, and Jennifer Connors not only did a great job on their pulled pork entry, they also did a good deed for the animals. They made Blount CARE, Blount County Animal Rescue Effort, their favorite charity for the prize money. The $1,500.00 prize money for their charity will help a lot of animals.
Thank you very much, Smoky on the Water! And a big hug to all of you! (I can even get you all a big, wet doggy kiss from Layla, my big grinning yellow lab foster, the fastest tongue around!)

United Nations (AFP) Apr 25, 2006
The UN Security Council will consider a draft resolution that would legally require Iran to comply with demands that it freeze all uranium enrichment activities, US Ambassador John Bolton said Monday. Bolton told reporters the 15-member council would be discussing this week possible responses to a report by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) head Mohamed ElBaradei.
The report assesses Tehran's compliance with UN demands to stop enrichment activities among other things by a Friday deadline set by the council on March 29 in a non-binding statement.
"Our expectation would be that assuming no change of direction by Iran and there's no reason to think there will be a change of direction, we'll look at a 'Chapter 7' resolution to make mandatory all the existing IAEA resolutions," Bolton said.
Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which is invoked in case of threats to international peace and security, can open the door to sanctions or even military action.
"We will be consulting this week on the nature of the language (of the draft)," Bolton said.
US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, Nicholas Burns, said Friday that Britain and France were expected to present the Chapter 7 draft next week.
But China's UN envoy Wang Guangya, the president of the council for April, warned Monday:"I don't think it (a Chapter 7 resolution) will be a productive move."
Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday rejected Security Council demands that Tehran take concrete steps to allay Western suspicions that it is seeking a nuclear weapons capability, and warned that the Islamic republic could quit the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
He also confidently dismissed any threat of sanctions or even a US military attack.
Commenting on Iran's assertions that sanctions were unlikely because of opposition from Russia and China, two veto-wielding permanent members of the council that have close ties with Tehran, Bolton said: "I don't know what the Security Council is going to do.
"I said repeatedly I think this is a test for the Security Council and we're going to take it step-by-step," Bolton said.
"The first step will be a Chapter 7 resolution."
But some diplomats said there was no certainty that the Council would hold a formal meeting on the issue this week.
US officials have said the political directors of the council's five permanent members -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- were likely to meet in Paris some time next week to thrash out a common strategy.
In addition Wang spoke of "proposals that the IAEA board of directors should have a meeting first before the council takes up the action."
Iran insists that its nuclear program is peaceful and that it only wants to enrich uranium to make reactor fuel to generate electricity, as is allowed by the NPT -- the cornerstone of efforts to avert the spread of nuclear weapons.
Washington has meanwhile not ruled out taking military action against Iran if diplomacy fails.

Rice Concerned Over Iranian Diplomat In United States
Shannon (AFP) Apr 25, 2006
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday that she was worried because the United States had granted a residence permit to a senior official from the Iranian foreign ministry. "It is concerning and I think we were very concerned when we learned about it," Rice said, speaking to journalists in an airplane heading to Europe, ahead of a stopover in Shannon, Ireland.

2GHz dual-core smartphone from Samsung could come in 2012
We thought 2011 was going to be an awesome year for smartphones and tablets, but after hearing this news, it looks like 2012 can't get here fast enough. Samsung is going to be launching 2GHz dual-core Exynos processors for smartphones next year, making their devices with these powerhouse processors just as fast as most PC sold in stores today.
This news was leaked by a "high-ranking" Samsung executive here. Also, Samsung may be pulling a NVIDIA, and selling the 2GHz Exynos dual-cores to any manufacturer that wants them in their hardware too. Smart move.

Researchers have urged policy makers to field test any new strategy to control the spread of TB between badgers and cattle. The recommendation comes in a new study published in the British Ecological Societys Journal of Applied Ecology that reveals evidence of a close spatial association between bovine tuberculosis (TB) in badgers and cattle.
Using data from the Randomised Badger Culling Trial, Dr Rosie Woodroffe and colleagues from the Independent Scientific Group on Cattle TB looked at local geographical associations between TB (Mycobacterium bovis) infection in badgers and cattle. They found that TB infection occurs in clusters in both badgers and cattle and these clusters are spatially associated on a scale of 1-2 km.
The study found that most TB-infected badgers are caught within 1km of infected cattle herds, while uninfected badgers live further from infected cattle, and that badgers and cattle carrying the same strain of TB live especially close together. "This suggests that TB is indeed transmitted between the two species - but this could be because cattle give TB to badgers, as well as badgers giving TB to cattle," the authors say.

The formation of stars in distant galaxies is still largely unexplored.

Legendary African striker Samuel Eto'o faces a legal battle with Spanish prosecutors for alleged tax crimes committed during his time at La Liga giants Barcelona.
According to court documents released , the prosecutors want the four-time African Football of the Year sentenced to 10 years and six months, in addition to paying a fine of $15.1 million for the four counts of tax fraud that supposedly defrauded Spain's tax authority of almost $4 million from 2006-09.
The prosecutors also want the player's agent at the time, Jose Maria Mesalles Mata, to receive the same punishment, while the administrator of a company that facilitated the deals, Manuel de Jesus Lastre Abreu, faces more than six years in prison and a fine of $2.3 million.
Eto'o and his lawyers are yet to respond to the current charges, but the Cameroonian had in the past denied any wrong doing, saying he was not directly involved in his tax matters.
Already the Spanish prosecutors have convicted Barcelona stars Lionel Messi, Neymar and Javier Mascherano of tax issues.

Tax Office rulings23/11/2017 by Collins Hume Multi-Award Winning CPA Accountants Ballina Byron Bay Lismore
What Makes a Genuine Business?
Tax Office ?
This topic can get pretty finicky, but the usual starting point for discussions to determine if someone is carrying on a business is set out in "Tax Ruling 97/11 Am I Carrying on a Business of Primary Production".
Although the title talks about primary production, this ruling is the key ruling often used by the Australian Taxation Office and sets out the indicators that the courts have stated are relevant:
- Whether the activity has a "significant commercial purpose or character".
- Whether the taxpayer has more than "just an intention to engage in business".
- Whether the taxpayer has a "purpose of profit as well as a prospect of profit from the activity".
- Whether there is "repetition and regularity of the activity".
- Whether the activity is of the "same kind and carried on in a similar manner to that of the ordinary trade in that line of business".
- Whether the activity is "planned, organised and carried on in a businesslike manner such that it is directed at making a profit".
- "The size, scale and permanency of the activity".
- Whether the activity is "better described as a hobby, a form of recreation or a sporting activity".
These tests are pretty specific and outline simple tests which, if answered, give a good indication of whether someone is carrying out a genuine business or a hobby.
If you are thinking about an activity and you would like clarification of your potential status, please contact Collins Hume in Ballina, Byron Bay or Lismore on 02 6686 3000.

Crowd-Sourced Funding Update21/11/2017 by Collins Hume Multi-Award Winning CPA Accountants Ballina Byron Bay Lismore
Crowd-Sourced Funding Update
ASIC has announced that it is now processing applications from businesses with Australian Financial Services Licenses that have applied to be a Crowd-Sourced Funding Intermediary.
ASIC has indicated that the first of the intermediary appointments should be finalised by around the end of October 2017.
If a proprietary limited company wishes to convert to an unlisted public company, so as to take advantage of the Crowd-Sourced Funding legislation, the company will need to lodge a Form 206 "Application for Change of Company Type".
ASIC is required under the Corporations Act to publish a notice in the ASIC Gazette stating it intends to alter the details of the company registration.
One month after the notice is published, the change of company type will take place.
If you are contemplating utilising the current law to become a Crowd-Sourced Funding Company and you would like to have a discussion with us about the process, please contact Collins Hume on 02 6686 3000.Connect with @CollinsHume on Facebook Google MyBusiness Instagram LinkedIn Ballina Byron Bay Lismore 02 6686 3000

Of concern to the government, is the identification of the directors involved in recurring company failures which the government estimates cost over $3 billion each year in lost taxation and GST revenue.
The government is very concerned that, in many of these instances, assets are moved into a new company but the debts are left behind in the original company.
The proposed reforms also include a significant extra obligation for directors of companies, in that directors would be personally responsible for outstanding GST obligations. These obligations are in addition to directors potentially being liable for PAYG withholding of employees and superannuation.
Directors of companies will need to ensure that the company is paying all of its

Collins Hume win two more prestigious industry awards14/11/2017 by Collins Hume Multi-Award Winning CPA Accountants Ballina Byron Bay Lismore
Collins Hume win two more prestigious industry awards
Collins Hume represented the NSW Northern Rivers region by being named SMSF Firm of the Year at the inaugural 2017 SMSF & Accounting Awards held in Sydney this month.
Collins Hume Partner Peter Fowler also received a second accolade as SMSF & Accounting Professional of the Year – Regional.
The inaugural SMSF & Accounting Awards recognise individuals and businesses making their mark in SMSF and accounting advice by championing professionalism, quality advice and innovation.
Upon accepting the SMSF Firm of the Year award for Collins Hume, Business Manager David Keith said he was lost for words.
"I'd like to dedicate this award to all of the Collins Hume team," David said. "It's through their collective hard work that we get to shine as a business. As accountants we realise we have the ability to change lives on a daily basis; not only with our clients and the advice we provide to help them improve their business and
Peter Fowler added, "Both awards reflect the great work our team does, especially in our SMSF division. It hasn't been easy with recent superannuation rule changes and ASIC licencing, but we have faced these challenges head-on with success."
The judges commented on the exceptional quality of nominees this year and particularly remarked on the efforts firms and individuals are going to with innovation and client servicing standards.
"We recognise that awards programs aren't always the right fit for professionals who are concentrated on their locale, and we are pleased that we can acknowledge their contribution to the industry," said SMSF Adviser's head of partnerships, Terry Braithwaite. "Congratulations to all finalists and winners for their outstanding achievements at the very first SMSF & Accounting awards."
Founded in 1980, Collins Hume offers tax, accounting, business advice, financial advice, mortgages and lending services across three offices in Ballina, Byron Bay and Lismore. Collins Hume was shortlisted as NSW Finalists for Accounting Firm of the Year, Community Engagement Program of the Year, Customer Service Firm of the Year, Multi-Service Firm of the Year, Small Business Adviser of the Year and SMSF Firm of the Year.

Single Touch Payroll coming09/11/2017 by Collins Hume Multi-Award Winning CPA Accountants Ballina Byron Bay Lismore
Another Challenge – Single Touch PayrollThe Australian government has passed legislation for the introduction of Single Touch Payroll from 1 July 2018.
Businesses will be required to commence reporting under Single Touch Payroll (STP) if they are a "substantial employer" on 1 April 2018.
A business is a substantial employer if you have 20 or more employees or you are a member of a wholly-owned group and the group has 20 or more employees in total.
Once you become a substantial employer you must continue to report under STP even though you may no longer have 20 or more employees, unless the Taxation Commissioner grants you an exemption.
The introduction of the STP represents the biggest payroll reporting change in Australia's history.
Substantial employers will be required to submit information electronically to the Australian Taxation Office every time the business pays its staff instead of once a year.
These advances will probably necessitate an upgrade to your payroll recording system. You will need to be able to access the new payment summaries and tax file declaration form.
There are also benefits for employers with less than 20 employees moving to the STP system. If you choose to report voluntarily, you will receive relief from your current obligations sooner than other businesses with less than 20 employees.
If you would like to have a discussion with us relative to the impact that this change will make on your business, please contact Collins Hume on 02 6686 3000 at your earliest opportunity.

Disruptive Innovation: Parting.com
Article originally appeared on The Funeral Commander
Parting.com launched its site which has virtually every funeral home in the United States with pricing for services listed for consumer comparative analysis. This disruptive innovation is the first of its kind in the funeral industry; the FTC, State and other funeral directory websites have never been able to accomplish…listing General Price List information for consumer comparison. It's reported that a small percentage (9%) of funeral homes offer any pricing information on their website which provides Parting.com with a tremendous opportunity for consumer search using the internet for funeral homes.
Parting.com offers line item pricing from the GPL for basic services, embalming, visitations, etc. as well as direct cremation from the funeral homes listed. As a service to the consumer, the listed funeral home's prices for at typical funeral (basic service fee, transfer of remains, facilities for viewing, facilities for ceremony/staff, embalming) are conveniently added from the GPL listed. Average national prices for a casket, dressing/casketing and outer burial container are separately listed but all added together to provide the consumer a comparative look at firms in the particular area of search.
In addition, most of the funeral homes listed have photos of the location (most look like Google earth shots), a link to make an appointment as well as a function for a consumer to review the service provided at the funeral home.
Innovation in the funeral industry continues to evolve especially in technology sector. I remember in the recent past funeral homes that did not have a computer in the building (I still get applications for one of my companies that appear to be completed on a typewriter) and had a fax with the rolled paper. From my vantage point, Parting.com has created a truly disruptive innovation site that no doubt is defined below:
Wikipedia defines Disruptive innovation: is an innovation that creates a new market and value network and eventually disrupts an existing market and value network, displacing established market leaders and alliances. The term was defined and phenomenon analyzed by Clayton M. Christensen beginning in 1995.[2] More recent sources also include "significant societal impact" as an aspect of disruptive innovation.[3]
Interestingly, if a consumer is already searching the internet for a funeral home, they certainly have no or very little relationship with a provider. Consumers now will have the benefit of comparative pricing if they are so inclined to use Parting.com instead of having to call or visit the funeral home for additional information. Parting.com has "upped the ante" for funeral homes to create more interactive and informational websites to showcase their particular value, services, etc. to secure the internet shopping consumer.
Want to know more? Tune into Episode #9 of Funeral Nation TV we interview the founders of Parting.com and learn about their disruptive innovation in the funeral industry. From behind a thick fog of smoke and the Command Post, Cheers Y'all! #thefuneralcommander
