Brunswick football faces Trinity Pawling in finale
Wednesday, just when the Brunswick campus opened for the first time since Sandy, a nor'easter forced the school to close early, putting after school activities in peril.
Including football practice.
In fact, the Brunswick football team has held a total of two official practices in the last 10 days, leaving head coach Jarrett Shine scrambling to try and get his team together in some capacity before the campus closed Wednesday.
"It's a little difficult for them not to be active for that long when they are used to going out and hitting every day," Shine said. "I'm hoping they were thinking about football. I'm hoping they will be ready because it's the last game of the season."

The Bruins travel to Trinity-Pawling Saturday for the final game of the regular season after last week's game against Hopkins was canceled.
The Hopkins game would have been the last home game of the season and senior night for the graduating players.
Coming off a good showing against Erickson League leader Salisbury, the Bruins were hoping to ride that momentum into the final two games. Shine is now hoping his team can pick up where it left off against a tough Trinity-Pawling team.
"Trinity-Pawling is a big physical team," Shine said. "They have a good quarterback and fullback and are a solid running team. I feel like if we play our best, we can beat anyone."
Trinity-Pawling has been practicing and played last weekend against Salisbury.
More InformationBrunswick (2-5) at Trinity-Pawling (4-3) Where: Pawling, NY, 2:30 p.m. Trinity head coach: David Coratti Top players: QB Najae Brown; RB Zach Thornton; DB Carlo Perello About Trinity: The Pride have lost two in a row after winning three straight and need to beat the Bruins to finish above .500.
Shine said one benefit of the time off is the Bruins have been able to nurse some injuries and come into the game with everyone healthy.
With a full roster at his disposal, Shine's focus is getting not just the seniors, but all the Bruins to realize Saturday is the end of the road.
"I hope so, especially for the seniors but for the other guys too," Shine said.
"They have to realize that this is the last time they will put the pads on until August."

A redirect is a bit of code that forwards the user's browser to a new page. Creating redirects is helpful when there is more than one possible title for a page, or many different ways a user might search for a topic.
Creating redirects for potential titles helps your users find the existing page, and also helps to prevent the accidental creation of duplicate articles.
How do I create a redirect?
To make a page redirect to another, simply type this on the page:
- #redirect [[Page title]]
where Page title is the name of the page you want this one to redirect to.
You can also use:
- #redirect [[Page title#Section]]
This will redirect the user to a section header. Use this sparingly, because if someone who is unaware of the redirect changes the title of a section, the redirect will no longer go to that section but will take you to the top of the page instead.
Using either lower case #redirect or upper case #REDIRECT will work. The #redirect line must be the first line of the page. All other lines below it will be ignored.
Instead of creating duplicate articles for Melvin Harris and Big Smoke, you might want links [[Melvin Harris]] and [[Big Smoke]] to point to the same page.
If you want that page title to be "Big Smoke", then "Melvin Harris" should be a redirect. The Melvin Harris page would contain this:
- #redirect [[Big Smoke]]
How do I change a redirect?
It is possible to change the Melvin Harris redirect by editing it. First, try visiting the Melvin Harris page, which redirects to the Big Smoke page. Then, below the title of the page, you will see the text:
- (Redirected from Melvin Harris)
Click this "Melvin Harris" link to go back to the redirect page at Melvin Harris. You can then click "edit" to alter the Melvin Harris page as usual (making the redirect point somewhere else, or replacing it with a new article) like any other wiki page.
What is a "soft redirect"?
A soft redirect is a very short page that essentially tells the user to look at another to obtain the information they were seeking.
The technique is most often used when redirecting users across wikis, especially where cross-wiki redirects are disabled. On such a wiki, the text of a hard redirect will be displayed, but will not actually take the user to the other wiki.
See Help:Soft redirect for more information.
What is a "double redirect"?
A double redirect is a redirect page that points to another redirect page. For example, suppose that [[Melvin Harris]] points to [[Big smoke]] (lowercase s) which points to [[Big Smoke]] (uppercase S). Then visits to the Melvin Harris page will be forwarded only once and stop at the [[Big smoke]] redirect.
To fix this, click the (Redirected from...) link on the [[Big smoke]] redirect page, to go back to the [[Melvin Harris]] redirect. Edit Melvin Harris's redirect to point to [[Big Smoke]]. All double redirects are listed at Special:DoubleRedirects
Can I put anything else on a redirect page?
All text below the first line will be ignored, except for category links. Although this is rarely needed, there are a few circumstances where you might want to categorize redirects.
Where can I find more help?
See MetaWikiPedia:Help:Redirect for more detail on this feature.

The village of Tsari and the surrounding areas are among the most
sacred places in Tibet. It was there that the most Venerable Khenchen
Rinpoche Konchog Gyaltsen was born in the spring of 1946, and it was
there that he spent his early years. In 1959, because of the political
situation in Tibet , Khenpo Rinpoche fled to India with his family.
The family then settled in Darjeeling , where Rinpoche began his
education. Even at a young age, he was an excellent and dedicated
student, and was able to complete his middle school studies in less
than the average time.
At about this same time, a new university, the Central Institute of
Higher Tibetan Studies, opened in Varanasi , India . Determined to be
among its first students, Khenchen Rinpoche traveled to Varanasi , in
October 1967 to seek admission. He then began a nine-year course of
study that included Madhyamika, Abhidharma, Vinaya, the
Abhisamayalankara, and the Uttaratantra, as well as history, logic,
and Tibetan grammar. In early 1968, he had the good fortune to take
full monastic ordination from the great Kalu Rinpoche and, shortly
after graduating from the Institute, he received teachings from the
16th Gyalwa Karmapa on The Eight Treasures of Mahamudra Songs, by the
Indian mahasiddhas.
Even after completing this long and arduous course of study, Khenchen
Rinpoche wanted only to deepen his knowledge and practice of the
Dharma. With the same intensity that he brought to his earlier
studies, Rinpoche sought out and received teachings and instructions
from great Buddhist masters. One was the Venerable Khunu Lama
Rinpoche, with whom Khenchen Rinpoche studied two works of Gampopa The
Jewel Ornament of Liberation and The Precious Garland of the Excellent
Path. Rinpoche's studies with the Venerable Khunu Lama also included
Mahamudra and many of the songs of Milarepa.
In all his studies, The Jewel Ornament of Liberation is one of the
texts that Khenpo found to be most inspiring. Lord Gampopa lays out
the teachings in a clear and systematic way that is understandable to
beginners. At the same time, the work is of such profound depth that
scholars and practitioners can study it over and over and still not
fully grasp its meaning. He has said on several occasions, "Anyone who
knows the Jewel Ornament well can say that they really understand
Maintaining a balance between theoretical understanding and the
practice of meditation, Khenpo Rinpoche began a three-year retreat in
1978 under the guidance of the enlightened master Khyunga Rinpoche.
During this time, he was able to deepen and enhance his understanding
of The Five-fold Path of Mahamudra and the profound Gong Chik text of
Lord Jigten Sumgon. He also received many other transmissions.
In 1985, Khenchen Rinpoche traveled to the main seat of the Drikung
Kagyu lineage, Drikung Thel, in Tibet . There, he was able to receive
personal blessings, as well as instructions and transmissions of
Mahamudra and the Six Yogas of Naropa, from the enlightened master
Venerable Pachung Rinpoche.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, has been released from the hospital after what the White House had described as a "very mild" heart attack.
Trump's press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, says in a statement that Kudlow was discharged from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center earlier Wednesday.
She says doctors say Kudlow's recovery "is going very well" and the president and his aides are happy Kudlow is back home and they "look forward to seeing him back to work soon."
Kudlow joined the Trump administration this year as director of the National Economic Council. He was with Trump in Canada last week for the meeting of the Group of Seven world leaders.
He's expected to make a full recovery.

Great American Art Works' has discovered new materials, techniques, and equipment they use to create uniquely excellent pastels. These handmade soft pastels are richly pigmented, and have superb brilliance of tone.
Color Swatches created using heavy to light application and were applied on 100 lb (163 gsm) drawing paper material.
calcium carbonate
Calcium carbonate, the mineral constituent of chalk, is a low tinting strength, inexpensive white pigment that is often used is a buffer and filler. Because of its low tinting strength, it is overwhelmed by other colors. It is used in gesso and other coatings to give the surface more tooth, a desirable characteristic for some painting techniques.
Calcium carbonate is lightfast. Like all carbonates, it reacts with strong acids
Calcium carbonate is completely non-toxic, and is used in many food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. However, excessive consumption is not recommended.
Naturally occuring chalk deposits have been mined since prehistoric times. Rocks and minerals that contain calcium carbonate include aragonite, calcite, vaterite, chalk, limestone. marble, and travertine. Calcium carbonate is the principle component of lime, used in many agricultural and industrial applications.
carbazole dioxazine
Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.
Dioxazine Purple, Chromothal Violet, Mauve, Carbazole Violet.

Delta Air Lines Inc won European and U.S. antitrust approval to buy a 49 percent stake in British airline Virgin Atlantic, antitrust enforcers in Brussels and Washington said on Thursday. The U.S. Justice Department and the European Commission, which is Europe's competition watchdog, both cleared the proposed transaction. The U.S. Transportation Department must also approve the joint venture. The partnership would let both carriers expand at Heathrow, where constraints on landing slots have limited growth. It also gives Delta the firepower to attract prized U.S. corporate travelers as it competes with industry leader United Continental and others. Delta announced the deal in December, saying the purchase would allow the U.S. carrier to expand its access to London's Heathrow Airport. "After a thorough investigation of the competitive effects of the proposed equity investment and joint venture, the Antitrust Division concluded that the facts and circumstances did not warrant further investigation or action," the Justice Department said in a statement. Delta and Virgin would cooperate on frequent-flier programs and share travel lounge amenities. Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, is operating at close to full capacity after Britain's coalition government blocked its expansion in 2010. Virgin's chief executive, Richard Branson, has said he will keep his 51 percent stake in Virgin Atlantic.

All Christian churches on the Arabian Peninsula should be destroyed, said the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, on March 12, in response to a query from Kuwait's Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage. The Kuwaiti delegation had asked for a clarification from the point of view of Islamic law on a proposal to ban the construction of new churches in Kuwait. The Grand Mufti, the highest official of religious law in Saudi Arabia—where no churches have been built despite the presence of almost a million Christians—responded by observing that Mohammed believed the Arabic Peninsula must only have one religion. His conclusion was that all churches in the territory must be destroyed. The response went beyond the Kuwaiti proposal, which bans the building of new non-Islamic places of worship. European Catholic bishops denounced the statement as a "denial" of basic human rights for millions of foreign workers in the Persian Gulf.

- - 44th Regiment, Virginia Infantry (Confederate). Company G (Randolph Guard) - Page 227 of FHL book 975.565 H2a only casually mentions this regiment. Therefore, it is possible that only its commander was from Charlotte County.
- - 56th Regiment, Virginia Infantry (Confederate). Companies G (Charlotte Defenders) and I (Charlotte Grays).[14]
- - Staunton Hill, Virginia Artillery (Confederate), was formed, equipped and initially commanded by Captain Charles Bruce and later commanded by Captain A. B. Paris. This company is reported as having been composed of three sections, 1st, 2nd, 3rd with the 3rd section serving in North Carolina while the other two served in Savannah, Georgia.

Whatsapp Has Been Blocked Totally In China
Presently, China has totally blocked WhatsApp in an attempt to tighten censorship as the country prepares for a major Communist Party gathering next month. I'd say this is quite pathetic.
It's not the first time China is blocking services owned by Western Companies, in fact they have a long history of blocking and limiting access to web services, especially social networks and Western-owned sites through their "Great Firewall" .
You'd be surprised to know that the service currently blocks 171 of the world's leading websites, including Wikipedia, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and many Google services in mainland China.
And now, it is WhatsApp. A friend of mine based in China hasn't come online for a couple of hours and It's probably because of the Whatsapp ban.
WhatsApp can only be accessed through VPN's that can circumvent China's Great Firewall.
But, in case you are unaware, China has begun a 14-month-long crackdown on VPNs and proxy services in the country and made it mandatory for all VPN providers to have a license from the government to use such services.
China now expects its Citizens to use Wechat that provides the Chinese government with data of its citizens.
Tecno Camon i4 – Full Specs And Cheapest Price
Tecno just launched a new device into the Camon lineup the Tecno Camon i4 and the device comes with very impressive specifications and a very good price in this post I'll be looking at the specs of the Tecno Camon i4.
The TECNO CAMON i4 ships with a mid-range MediaTek Helio A22 processor for the 2GB / 3GB RAM version and a MediaTek Helio P22 processor for the 4GB RAM version and 32GB / 64GB of internal storage.
The Camon i4 runs on Android 9.0 with HiOS 4.6 on top, keeping the lights on is a 3500mAh battery with support for fast charging.
I do hope the fast charging isn't the same as the Xcharge on the Tecno Spark 2 because that means it's not actually fast charge. Tecno deserves this shirt on that note
Design And Display
I'm quite impressed with the fact that Tecno decided to go with the dewdrop notch on this device instead of that lousy Apple-like rectangular notch. This one is quite similar to the one on the Samsung M20 and I'd say it's not bad at all considering the fact that they've been giving us phones with notches since the release of the Camon 11 Pro.
You basically get a 6.2-inch IPS Capacitive display with an 81.3% screen-to-body ratio. It's not something you would call totally bezelless as there's still as small chin below the device.
The Camera is one of the selling points of this device as the smartphone's triple camera has a 13MP, 8MP, and 2MP lens combination, which means you would get an impressive performance while taking photos and recording videos at 1080p. The secondary camera at the front is a 16-MP lens and great for selfies. You also get better quality when calling someone via video so cheers to the Snapchat and Instagram Slay Queens.
Software And Hardware
In the specifications department, I'll give Tecno a B+ on this. The Camon i4 comes with a MediaTek Helio A22 chipset clocked at 2-GHz combined with a Cortex A53 quad-core processor, which takes charge of the Camon i4's performance. In the graphics department, you get A PowerVR GE8300 GPU to take care of the graphics. There's also a 4GB variant that comes with a higher Helio P22 Chipset.
The Camon i4 comes with 32GB of internal storage that can be expanded to 256GB via a memory card. There are 2GB, 3GB, and 4GB variants.
Network And Connectivity
The new Tecno Camon i4 offers a variety of options for easy connectivity, which includes 4G with VoLTE (Voice Over LTE), Wi-Fi, mobile hotspot, micro-USB, GPS, Bluetooth, etc.
The Tecno Camon i4 ships with a 3500 mAh non-removable lithium-ion battery which means you get a battery that's enough to last you 10 hours when used actively and about 36 hours when on standby
TECNO Camon i4 Specifications
- Display: 6.217-inch (1520 x 720) pixels) HD+ display
- Chipset: 2GHz Quad-Core MediaTek Helio A22 12nm processor / 2GHz Octa-Core MediaTek Helio P22 (MT6762) 12nm processor
- RAM+ROM: 2GB / 3GB RAM with 32GB storage, 4GB RAM with 64GB storage, expandable memory up to 256GB with microSD
- Operating System: HiOS 4.6 based on Android 9.0 (Pie)
- SIM: Dual SIM (nano + nano + microSD)
- Camera: 13MP + 2MP rear camera, 8MP 120° ultra-wide camera, quad LED flash; 16MP front-facing camera
- Sensor: Fingerprint sensor, AI Face Unlock
- Dimensions: 156.9×75.8×7.96mm
- Network: Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth, GPS
- Battery :3500mAh battery
The price of the Tecno Camon i4 for the 2GB + 32GB variant is N49,000 ($140)
The price of the Tecno Camon i4 for the 3GB + 32GB variant is N55,000 ($154)
The price of the Tecno Camon i4 for the 2GB + 32GB variant is N63,000 ($175)
So what do you think? Is this your next smartphone
How Multiple Cameras Work On Android And iOS Smartphones
How multiple cameras work on smartphones have always been a question on the minds of most people and 2019 is the year of multiple cameras and many if not all smartphone brands have released phones with multiple cameras. You've probably seen the Nokia 9 Pureview with 5 cameras and the Huawei P30 Pro that comes with 4 cameras (40MP + 20MP +12MP +TOF Camera) and 50x optical zoom.
These two devices come with crazy specifications but I won't go into that right now, maybe in another post.
However, have you ever tried covering the main camera of your device with a dual camera?
If you haven't, try doing that right now.
You'll notice you are actually blocking the whole camera. That leaves the question – What do the secondary cameras do and how do they work.
How Multiple Cameras Work
Now I want you to understand this. Most OEMs have other uses of their secondary camera other than the ones I'm going to mention below. These are just the basic functions of the secondary camera.
The secondary camera improves the overall clarity of the image with the help of a "Monochrome" feature. The secondary camera only records the black and white version of the image. With the help of the Monochrome sensor, the primary camera measures how much light is coming from the point of focus.
Previously (with the exception of the Google Pixel 3), the primary camera in smartphones normally handled the measurement so there was a very high possibility of losing some detail while measuring light intensity since it would still need to work on the color filtering.
So this extra burden is handled by the second camera which takes care of that area. Combining the monochrome image which has detailed information about the light and sharpness with the colored image that was captured by the primary camera will produce a rich and detailed image.
In some phones, the secondary camera acts as the zoom lens. Huawei uses their cameras on the P30 Pro a bit differently but going into the entire details might end up making this post a bit lengthy and a bit boring for people who aren't hardcore techies so I'd try to keep this balanced. However, if you'd like to see that in another post do let me know in the comments.
So that's basically how multiple cameras work on smartphones

Six days after Whitney Houston was found dead in her hotel room, the singer's on-again, off-again boyfriend Ray J has finally spoken.
"Over the past few days, I've tried to process the emptiness that I am experiencing. What my heart feels cannot be expressed in words," he tells Us Weekly in a statement. "The world lost an icon, but I lost my close friend."
"Nippy, I miss you so much! You were so happy and full of love," Ray J, 31, says. "Your smile will live in my heart forever."
At Tru nightclub on February 9, Houston was spotted pounding tequila shots and champagne with her daughter, Bobbi Kristina, 18, an eyewitness tells the new issue of Us Weekly (out now). She was also spotted cuddling with Ray J before jumping on stage for a duet of "Yes, Jesus Loves Me" with Grammy nominee Kelly Price.
When Ray J learned of Houston's death on Saturday, he "rushed over" to the Beverly Hilton Hotel and "spent the night comforting Bobbi Kristina," an insider says. "He's absolutely devastated."
Houston will be laid to rest at noon Saturday at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey; it will be broadcast online and on BET.
Kevin Costner, Alicia Keys, Clive Davis, Aretha Franklin, Tyler Perry, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Kim Burrell, Rickey Minor, Donnie McClurkin, Marvin Winans and Cece Winans are expected to attend the service.

Rubuguri Village WalkLocation: Bordering Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Reached by rustic roads clinging to steep hillsides, this small community makes up for its isolation with the warm welcome of its inhabitants. The Village Walk takes you past a swamp to a small homestead, where you will have the chance to meet the residents and learn about life in Rubuguri, as well as participate in a crafts demonstration.
You will then visit the lively St Peter´s Primary school to meet the pupils and teachers, and to watch this region´s most famous cultural attraction – the dynamic Kiga dance. The best dancers are said to be those who make the earth shake – and as the barefooted students leap several feet into the air to the rhythm of joyful songs you will be able to decide for yourself if they achieve their goal!
- Get involved in daily life, with a visit to a traditional homestead
- Be amazed at the energy of the local students as they leap into the air to perform the regional dance
Responsible Travel
- This tour is operated by the Nkuringo Cultural Centre (NCC) in Rubuguri, which creates work opportunities for local residents. It promotes tourism and related activities as an alternative income to the timber, meat and honey that residents used to obtain from Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
- The profits are split evenly between the site owners, the community guides and the NCC for community projects.
- Handicrafts are sold at the nearby Wagtail Eco-Safari Camp - all proceeds are returned to the artisans.
- NCC has begun an IT project – it will have four computers, and IT classes will be run for up to 12 students at a time with just a small fee to cover basic costs.
- A stage is also being built at the Centre to allow for cultural performances to take place here, by local residents as well as the nearby Batwa community.
- NCC has purchased costumes for the dance groups who perform at the Centre.

Martha A. McSteen
MARTHA A. McSTEEN
Although I do not have direct experience of the tremendous accomplishments of the 1930's, it was then that the original Social Security Act was designed, the fundamental principles that have guided the program ever since were conceived, and many of the innovative administrative approaches needed to run a national program of earnings-related social insurance were first developed. By the time I came on the scene in 1947, we were paying monthly benefits to almost 2 million people at an annual rate of nearly $500 million. A far cry from the very early days, when I'm told we once made a 17 cent lump-sum retirement payment. And how much further from today, when OASDI benefits are going to 37 million people at a rate of $182 billion a year.
Yet, as far removed as today's Social Security statistics may seem from those of 1947, let alone still earlier times, there are certain fundamental principles that form a direct linkage between the program as it was then and the program as it exists today. They reflect, I believe, our ability to learn from history and experience, to see what worked and did not work, and to couple this pragmatic knowledge with a visionary sense of what the country needed in order to build the most effective and important social programs in the United States. To my mind, the past--and indeed the future--success of Social Security is rooted in these four basic principles.
I do not mean to imply that adherence to these principles has always been accomplished without difficulty, or that we have a flawless or trouble-free Social Security system. Anyone who has read the newspapers, watched television, or followed the news some other way during the past few years surely knows that this is not the case. But the financial crises of the early 1980's in the OASDI programs have been resolved by the Social Security Amendments of 1983--the Board of Trustees recently reported that the combined programs were in sound financial shape for the next 75 years--and we are well on our way to correcting other deficiencies in the disability insurance program.
Most important, as President Reagan stated when he signed the 1983 amendments, is the Nation's continued commitment to the vitality of the Social Security programs:
This Bill demonstrates for all time our nation's ironclad commitment to Social Security. It assures the elderly that America will always keep the promises made in troubled times a half a century ago. It assures those who are still working that they, too, have a pact with the future. From this day forward, they have our pledge that they will get their fair share of benefits when they retire.
We have a sound basis for the next 50 years of Social Security. We have 50 years of experience in the successful application of proven principles. If we, as a Nation, learn from this experience and apply it wisely to the challenges and opportunities that face the Social Security programs--the treatment of women in a changing society, increases in longevity and their implications for retirement policy, and a host of others--these programs will continue to well and faithfully serve our national needs.

It was a rough ride on Capitol Hill to come up with the fiscal cliff deal, but there is good news for consumers: the uncertainty over what taxes will look like for the foreseeable future is finally over. A number of changes introduced during George W. Bush's time in office have been made permanent and Congress updated the Alternative Minimum Tax, or AMT, to automatically adjust based on inflation each year. This removes much of the angst about what future tax rates will be and makes it possible do do some planning.
Continue Reading Below
Here's the bad news: the folks in Washington, D.C., have arbitrarily decided a number that makes people "wealthy" and those people can expect to pay significantly more in taxes starting this year.
However, even if your income doesn't run into six digits, you're going to see a bigger bite out of your paychecks thanks to tax increases. The amount that is deducted for Social Security tax is going up nearly 50% to 6.2%. That rate was that high before the 2008 economic crisis, but in an attempt to help spur a recovery, in 2011 politicians figured that lowering the so-called OASDI(1) tax to 4.2% would increase the amount of take-home pay folks received and ultimately increase consumer spending. (2)
What's that? You didn't notice the increase in your paycheck over the last few years? Don't worry, you didn't miss anything. The biggest impact this policy had was to add hundreds of billions of dollars to our national debt. As I pointed out last February, an extensive study of 34 industrialized countries by the non-partisan Tax Foundation concluded that "payroll tax cuts have no impact on long-term economic growth." But, hey, never let the truth get in the way of a great political story.
Of course, in addition to paying more in Social Security tax, the "wealthy" are also going to see other types of tax increases, notably on income and capital gains.
For instance, once the income of a married couple (who file jointly) exceeds $450,000(2), their marginal tax rate rises from 35% to 39.6%. Below are the projected tax rates and brackets for 2013 as estimated by CCH:
Notice that in the 10% and 15% brackets, the income levels for married taxpayers are double that of a single individual; a "marriage penalty" begins when you get to the 25% bracket. Whereas a single person would still be in the 25% bracket with an income of $87,850, the upper income limit for married couples in this bracket is less than twice that amount. The disparity grows until it reaches the top bracket: married couples are subject to the highest tax rate when their income hits $450,000- not 200% (twice) as much as a single person, but just 11% more.
Your income also determines the tax you will pay on interest, capital gains, qualified dividends and investment returns this year. Technically, the top rate rises from 15% to 20%- a 33% increase. But in reality, it's 59% higher, thanks to the new Medicare surtax on unearned- i.e. investment- income. According to Thomson Reuters, here are the rates for 2013:
Tax Rate on Dividends & LT Capital Gains
Keep in mind that if you make a profit on the sale of your home this is considered a capital gain and is subject to the applicable rate above.(3) Of course, depending upon your marital status, you get to reduce the taxable profit by either $250,000 (single) or $500,000 (married). Thus, this exclusion could completely eliminate your taxable profit. "Bear in mind, this [tax break] does not apply to a vacation home," reminds Bob Scharin, senior tax analyst for Thomson Reuters. It only applies to your principal residence.
Furthermore, he points out, "You could be hit by the 3.8% surtax [on capital gains] before the higher tax rate on capital gains." That's because, in the case of a married couple filing a joint return, the Medicare surtax applies once your MAGI hits $250,000, while the higher capital gains rate doesn't kick in until your MAGI reaches $450,000 or more.
"If you're below the $200,000 [single] or $250,000 [married/joint] threshold you're not going to be affected" by the recently-enacted tax increases. If your income exceeds these amounts, you're going to be affected by some of the changes. "If your income is greater than $400,000 [single] or $450,000 [married/joint], you're affected by all of the changes."
To find out how your federal tax bill might change, visit the Tax Foundation's "My Tax Burden" calculator.
Frankly, if your income is high enough that it throws you into the top bracket or makes you subject to the Medicare surtax, there isn't a lot you can do. Here are a few strategies to consider, with the caveat that you should consult with a tax and possibly a legal expect before pulling the trigger:
Make gifts of appreciated assets to relatives in a lower tax bracket
For instance, suppose you are providing more than 50% of the support for a parent. Instead of cash, consider giving your dad appreciated property- shares of a mutual fund or appreciate stock, for instance. Dad then sells the shares to generate the income he needs "If his income is low enough, he might be paying zero to 15% on the gain rather than you paying 20% and potentially the additional 3.8% surtax," says Scharin.
Reminder: there are limits on how much property you can gift before you start to affect something called your "unified credit," the amount you can leave to heirs estate tax-free at your death. Also, be careful about transferring property to minors; they could be subject to the "kiddie tax," negating any benefit of making the gift.
Think about municipal bonds
Since the interest that munis pay is not subject to federal (and sometimes state) income tax, they always look more attractive when tax rates go up. This is especially true now because of the Obamacare surtax. As Scharin points out, "The 3.8% Medicare surtax is on taxable investment income only."
Consider "like-kind" exchanges for real estate you want to sell
This only works for real estate owned for investment or business purposes, not a personal residence. The tax code allows you to essentially swap your property for a similar piece of real estate owned by someone else and avoid paying tax on the transaction. "For instance," says Scharin, "Suppose you're getting on in years and no longer want to be responsible for doing repairs on a small apartment building you own. You can exchange that for another type of investment property where, say, the tenants are responsible for the upkeep."
Look at life insurance
The cash value of a life insurance policy is not subject to current income tax. When you die and the policy is paid out, the proceeds pass tax-free to your beneficiary. "There are estate planning considerations," says Scharin.
Convert to a Roth account
As you probably know, Uncle Sam is a little short on cash these days. As a result, our political leaders have decided to loosen the rules on Roth conversions inside company retirement plans. Yes, folks,it's now easier than ever to save for your nest egg! Gone are most of the restrictions that made this difficult to do. Essentially, all it takes are two conditions: 1) your company 401(k), 403(b), 457, etc. plan includes a Roth component, and 2) the plan specifically permits you to convert assets held in the pre-tax side of the plan to the after-tax Roth side.
Why are they being so nice to us? Because converting requires that you pay the income tax you avoided when your original contribution went into the pre-tax side of your plan. You convert = Uncle Sam collecting more tax money.
Why would you want to do this? Because once in a Roth account, your money grows tax -free forever. Essentially, Congress is looking for a way to raise money today as opposed to the future when you're retired and drawing income from your account.
You should really consult a tax expert before doing this, because, according to Scharin, "You don't want the conversion amount to push you into a higher bracket." While the amount converted is considered "earned income" and, thus, not subject to the Medicare surtax, when added to your other sources of income, it could raise your total income above the $250,000 threshold. That would make your unearned income- dividends, capital gains, interest on bank accounts- subject to the 3.8% tax, a tax that might not have applied if you had not done the conversion.
If none of the above suggestions make sense for your particular situation, be patient. In Scharin's words, "It's quite certain that tax laws will change."
1. Old Age and Survivors Disability Insurance.
2. The reduction applied only to employees. Employers did not get a break; they have continued to contribute 6.2%.
3. If you have owned your home for at least a year, you qualify for long-term capital gains treatment; otherwise, the profit is taxed at your higher, "ordinary income" rate.

Use Storage QoS to Manage Performance for Multiple Workloads
Free Download
An Introduction to NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP: Architecture and Core Capabilities
In highly virtualized and cloud environments,storage quality of service (QoS) is becoming more and more critical for preventing workloads or tenants from adversely affecting one another and for meeting service-level objectives for storage performance. The need for storage QoS in virtualized data centers is being driven by the accelerated use of shared storage infrastructures to support multiple workloads. Those organizations deploying public and private clouds have gone further, adding automation, policy-driven provisioning and multi-tenant architectures to support service-level agreements (SLAs) for a diverse group of users, all of whom may be running on a common infrastructure. Let's look at three use cases where storage QoS can make a critical difference in managing performance for multiple workloads.
Gain in-depth insights into NetApp's clustered Data ONTAP® by joining an upcoming webcast.
Storage QoS Example 1: Throttle Performance for Misbehaving Applications
Perhaps the most common use case for managing storage QoS is the need to throttle an application that is hogging resources at the expense of other workloads. Identifying the rogue application, notifying the owner and correcting the application can be a time-consuming process. For most storage administrators, a simpler and faster solution is to throttle the resources for the offending LUN or volume. Advanced storage QoS features enable a storage administrator to throttle throughput in terms of IOPs or MB/second for multiple data container types, such as a storage virtual machine (SVM), volumes, LUNS, or VMDK files within an SVM.
Storage QoS Example 2: Set Storage Performance Limits for Specific Workloads
One approach to managing QoS for workloads with different service-level needs, such as development and test, is to house them in dedicated infrastructure silos. However, this leads to lower resource utilization and higher costs. With storage QoS, it is possible to run both types of workloads on a cost-effective, shared infrastructure by assigning the data containers mapping to the dev/test workloads to a policy group with a throughput limit so that they do not adversely affect the production workloads. With NetApp® Data ONTAP®, you can define up to 3,500 different policy groups in a storage cluster.
Storage QoS Example 3: Limit Maximum Storage Performance for Cloud Tenants
Cloud providers, whether internal or external, can be faced with a different type of QoS problem. In a multi-tenant cloud environment, the first customers may enjoy access to infrastructure resources over and above their service-level agreements (SLAs). This can be great while it lasts, but can also create a perception of performance degradation as additional customers are added to the shared storage infrastructure, and those early customers are required to operate within their SLA. In multi-tenant environments, it is often desirable to set a maximum performance limit for each tenant (per their SLA) in order to manage performance expectations as additional customers are onboarded and overall resource utilization increases.
NetApp Data ONTAP and Storage QoS
Data ONTAP 8.2 introduces new QoS capabilities to simplify performance management for a shared infrastructure environment, enabling administrators to quickly and easily allocate shared storage resources to applications, servers, departments or cloud tenants. For more information, or to engage with NetApp experts and discuss best-practice recommendations for Storage QoS, visit the NetApp community page for Data ONTAP.

RENO, Nev. — U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials say they agree with a Nevada sheriff's position that rancher Cliven Bundy must be held accountable for his role in an April standoff between his armed supporters and the federal agency.
Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Bundy crossed the line when he allowed states' rights supporters, including self-proclaimed militia members, onto his property to aim guns at police.
Bureau spokeswoman Celia Boddington, in a statement Saturday, said the case remains under investigation and the bureau is "working diligently to ensure that those who broke the law are held accountable."
But she disputed Gillespie's contention that the agency mishandled a roundup of Bundy's cattle 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas. The roundup was thwarted by Bundy and his armed supporters.

Entdecken Sie MSC Bellissima
Die Voyages Selection entdecken
The Northern Europe that MSC Cruises brings you is a blend of both Man's and Nature's masterpieces. MSC Splendida will show you five things to see and do: from Loch Ness to the North Cape, from geysers to tulips, and a visit to Bergen for an unforgettable journey.
The waterfalls of the Norwegian fjords meet the works of art from the Hermitage in St Petersburg, the chiming of Big Ben in London seems to echo in the Tivoli Gardens of Copenhagen, and the remains of the Berlin Wall skirt the glacial peaks – not just one journey, but many that coalesce, where the lines between fable and reality become blurred.
The summer routes of MSC Splendida run between the British Isles, the Norwegian fjords, and Iceland, and these are our top five suggestions. Five things to see and do. Five easy highlights to remember – one for each finger on your hand: pointers to guide you through these extraordinary landscapes.
A close encounter with the Loch Ness monster: reality or legend? As we have said, in Northern Europe the lines are blurred. The fog, the castle ruins and the darkly reflective lake. It is easy to believe that there may be a monster in the depths of these waters; the atmosphere is certainly sinister enough.
North Cape. Vertigo is the breathtaking sensation you may feel upon arrival. It is like looking down unexpectedly from the highest of skyscrapers. There is only one small monument, and little or nothing other than the expanses of ice and limitless horizons. So much silence. It is an unmissable opportunity to take a photo as a memento.
Krysuvìk is a short distance from Reykjavik, Iceland's capital. It is a desolate location, but just wait for the Geyser explosion. An unbelievable natural show that will continue to surprise you with each new eruption. In the midst of total stillness, without warning, an enormous column of water and vapour gushes out from underneath the ground. It lasts only seconds, then silence once more.
Bergen: the perfect place for shopping. A city hemmed in by the sea, where beside the splendid fish market is the old Hanseatic district with its typical colourful houses that have become workshops, shops, bars and restaurants. But what should you buy? Maybe a cosy goose-down duvet, a few woolly jumpers, some elegant ceramics or a carved wooden troll – the options are endless.
The scent of Amsterdam's tulips
is intense and all-embracing. The city is full of them; they grace all the windowsills and small local markets. Out in the countryside there are tulip plantations where their cultivation is assisted by the numerous windmills; they become a palette for painters in the home of Rembrandt and Van Gogh.
MSC Splendida is based at Hamburg, and MSC Orchestra and MSC Sinfonia depart from Copenhagen, Kiel and Warnemunde; all summer long they travel the Northern European itineraries from fjords to capitals, from the British Isles up to the northern reaches of Iceland. Journeys last seven days but there is the possibility of combining, according to your tastes, several different itineraries in a single Grand Tour.
Info and details can be found in the brochure, travel agencies and at www.msccruises.com.

This playground honors neighborhood resident Sergeant William T. Dougherty (d. 1944), a United States Marine of the 155th Infantry, 27th Division who fought and died in the World War II (1939-1945) Battle of Saipan.
America entered World War II after the Japanese Empire bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. After several years of naval skirmishes, battles, and island-hopping amphibious assaults, the United States and her British ally had managed to push Japan's forces back towards their home islands. Servicemen taking part in the Allied invasion of the island of Saipan, however, saw some of the bloodiest fighting of the war from an enemy that refused to surrender. Twenty thousand United States Marines, including Sergeant William T. Dougherty, came ashore on Saipan on June 15, 1944 with orders to wrest control of the island from the Japanese. The Japanese had controlled Saipan since 1920, and fought tenaciously.
