As for the rest, if ice dancers are encouraged to use ballet, I haven't heard it and I kind of hope D/W don't use a ballet next season. Giselle was fantastic and it was different from the ballets previously used by other ice dancers but I feel that's kind of done and done. And I agree that ballet music is a very common choice of music for skaters!
And while Sylvia might have nice costumes, I'm not sure the story wouldn't translate well onto the ice.

MOSIX: A Cluster Load-Balancing Solution for Linux
MOSIX schedules newly started programs in the node with the lowest current load. However, if the machine with the lowest load level announces itself to all the nodes in the cluster, then all the nodes will migrate newly started jobs to the node with the lowest load and soon enough this node will be overloaded. However, MOSIX does not operate in this manner. Instead, every node sends its current load status to a random list of nodes. This prevents a single node from being seen by all other nodes as the least busy and prevents any node from being overloaded.
How does MOSIX decide which node is the least busy among all the cluster nodes? This is a good question; however, the answer is a simple one.
MOSIX comes with its own monitoring algorithms that detect the speed of each node, its used and free memory, as well as IPC and I/O rates of each process. This information is used to make near optimal decisions on where to place the processes. The algorithms are very interesting because they try to reconcile different resources (bandwidth, memory and CPU cycles) based on economic principles and competitive analysis. Using this strategy, MOSIX converts the total usage of several heterogeneous resources, such as memory and CPU, into a single homogeneous cost. Jobs are then assigned to the machine where they have the lowest cost. This strategy provides a unified algorithm framework for allocation of computation, communication, memory and I/O resources. It also allows the development of near-optimal on-line algorithms for allocation and sharing these resources.
MOSIX uses its own filesystem, MFS, to make all the directories and regular files throughout a MOSIX cluster available from all nodes as if they were within a single filesystem. One of the advantages of MFS is that it provides cache consistency for files viewed from different nodes by maintaining one cache at the server disk node.
MFS meets the direct file system access (DFSA) standards, which extends the capability of a migrated process to perform some I/O operations locally, in the current node. This provision reduces the need of I/O-bound processes to communicate with their home-node, thus allowing such processes (as well as mixed I/O and CPU processes) to migrate more freely among the cluster's node, for load balancing and parallel file and I/O operations. This also allows parallel file access by proper distribution of files, where each process migrates to the node that has its files.
By meeting the DFSA provision, allowing the execution of system calls locally in the process' current node, MFS reduces the extra overhead of executing I/O-oriented system calls of a migrated process.
In order to test MOSIX, we set up the following environment: 1) a cabinet that consists of 13 Pentium-class CPU cards running at 233MHz with 256MB of RAM each; and 2) a Pentium-based server machine, PC1, running at 233MHz with 256MB of RAM. This machine was used as an NFS and DHCP/TFTP server for the 13 diskless CPUs.
When we start the CPUs, they boot from LAN and broadcast a DHCP request to all addresses on the network. PC1, the DHCP server, will be listening and will reply with a DHCP offer and will send the CPUs the information needed to configure network settings such as the IP addresses (one for each interface, eth0 and eth1), gateway, netmask, domain name, the IP address of the boot server (PC1) and the name of the boot file. The CPUs will then download and boot the specified boot file in the DHCP configuration file, which is a kernel image located under the /tftpboot directory on PC1. Next, the CPUs will download a ramdisk and start three web servers (Apache, Jigsaw and TomCat) and two streaming servers (Real System Server and IceCast Internet Radio).
For this setup, we used the Linux Kernel 2.2.14-5.0 that came with Red Hat 6.2. At the time we conducted this activity, MOSIX was not available for Red Hat; thus, we had to port MOSIX to work with the Red Hat kernel. Our plan was to prepare a MOSIX cluster that consists of the server, PC1 and the 13 diskless CPUs. For this reason, we needed to have a MOSIX-enabled kernel on the server, and we wanted to have the same MOSIX-enabled kernel image under the TFTP server directory to be downloaded and started by the CPUs at boot time. After porting MOSIX to Red Hat, we started the MOSIX modified installation script "mosix.install" that applied the patches to the 2.2.14-5.0 kernel tree on PC1.
Once we finished configuring the kernel and enabling the MOSIX features (using $make xconfig), we compiled it to get a kernel image:
cd /usr/src/linux make clean ; make dep ; modules_install
Next, we copied the new kernel image from /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot to /boot and we updated the System.map file:
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/System.map ln /boot/System.map.mosix /boot/System.mapOne of the configuration files that was modified was lilo.conf. We added a new entry for the MOSIX kernel to make the server boot as a MOSIX node by default. The updated lilo.conf on PC1 looked like Listing 1.
Listing 1. A MOSIX-Modified lilo.conf.
Having done that, we needed to complete the configuration steps. In /etc/profile, we added one line to specify the number of nodes in the MOSIX cluster:
# Add to /etc/profile NODES=1-14
We created /etc/mosix.map that allows the local MOSIX node to see all other MOSIX nodes. The mosix.map looked as follows:
# Starting node IP Number of Nodes 1 x.x.x.x 13 14 y.y.y.y 1We created the /mfs directory to be used as a mount point for the MOSIX filesystem. We added mosix.o to /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/ so it can be loaded at boot time by the MOSIX startup file. Then we applied the same modifications to the ramdisk that will be downloaded by the diskless CPUs at boot time.
Once we completed these steps, we rebooted PC1, and when it was up and running, we rebooted the diskless CPUs. After reboot, the diskless CPUs received their IP addresses, booted with the MOSIX-enabled kernel, and downloaded the ramdisk using the TFTP protocol. Et voilà! All 14 nodes mounted /mfs as the MOSIX filesystem directory. Figure 2 shows a snapshot of /mfs on CPU10.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

About the only thing the once and future Lakers coaches have in common is … well, a first name.
One of the more tumultuous weeks in Lakers history — and that's saying something — has taken the organization from Mike (Brown) to Mike (D'Antoni). They have gone from hiring a coach with no history with two of the team's cornerstones, Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash, to someone possessing rich and deep back stories with Bryant and Nash.

12 May 1940. Westminster, London, England: the early days of World War II.
Raybould Marsh, one of "our" Britain's best spies, has travelled to another Earth in a desperate attempt to save at least one timeline from the Cthulhu-like monsters who have been observing our species from space and have already destroyed Marsh's timeline. In order to accomplish this, he must remove all traces of the supermen that were created by the Nazi war machine and caused the specters from outer space to notice our planet in the first place.
His biggest challenge is the mad seer Gretel, one of the most powerful of the Nazi creations, who has sent a version of herself to this timeline to thwart Marsh. Why would she stand in his way? Because she has seen that in all the timelines she dies and she is determined to stop that from happening, even if it means destroying most of humanity in the process. And Marsh is the only man who can stop her.

Today at the Intel Developers Forum a new specification for USB 3.0 was released. This new connectivity standard will be completely backwards compatible and enhances the existing connection with some optical, yes – fiber, strands thrown in the mix.
Best part? It will offer ten times the existing bandwidth of USB, which means nearly a 5 Gigabit connection. While it may be some time before we can utilize such a fast connection – I'm sure something will have it slowing down in no time!

I'm always a little surprised at how young can be considered old by employers. In some industries, especially high-tech, even mid-thirties can be considered old. In fact, I spoke to one computer programmer who considered the workers in his office who were over thirty old!
Unfortunately for older job seekers, the older you are, the longer it can take to get a job and the harder it can be to get hired.
What can you do to address age discrimination and promote your candidacy for employment? There are strategies older job seekers can implement to help expedite a job search and to find gainful, and meaningful, employment.
Job Search Tips for Older Workers
Resume Tips for Older Job Seekers
One way to overcome the perception that your age is an issue, is to age proof and edit your resume. Limiting what you include on your resume, from a chronological perspective, can help job seekers avoid the stigma of being considered "too old" by a prospective employer.
Cover Letter Tips for Older Job Seekers
Your cover letter is critical, as well. Review these cover letter tips for older job seekers, including what to include in your cover letter, how to showcase your skills, and how to effectively market your candidacy to employers.
Emphasize Your Relevant Experience
When writing your resume and your cover letters, there's no need to mention every job you've ever had. Include only the most recent positions and, if you attended college, don't list your graduation dates.
Interview Answers for Older Applicants
Even though employers can't legally ask directly about your age, they sometimes ask questions during a job interview to try to determine how old you are. Here are some age-related interview questions and advice on how to respond.
Interview Tips for Older Job Seekers
Tips and advice for successful interviewing for older seekers, including how to make experience an asset, what to wear, how to address age issues and how to stay positive when interviewing can be especially challenging.
Fashion Tips for Older Job Seekers
You can strategically write your resume and cover letter, but you can't change the basic facts - your actual age and your employment history are etched in stone. However, there are ways you can work on your appearance when you are job searching. And that can make a big difference when you're interviewing. Here's how to update your job search image.
Use Your Network
Networking is still one of the best ways to find a job. Regardless of when you graduated, if your alma mater has a career network use it to contact alumni in your field of interest. Use online and offline networking resources to make connections to help with your job search.
Consider a Career Change
It can be easier than you might think to change careers. Here's advice on how to successful implement a mid-life career change.
Get Job Search Help
If you're struggling with your job search, consider seeking assistance. There are no-cost programs provided by OneStop Career Centers, non-profit groups, and local libraries, for example, that can assist.
Keep Your Skills Current
Everyone applying for employment, regardless of age, needs to be computer literate. If you can't send an email, or don't know what Instant Message is, take a computer class. There are classes offered, free or low-cost, by continuing education centers, churches, libraries, and school. The more current your skills, the better your prospects for finding employment.
Don't Give Up
Job searching typically isn't easy, regardless of how old you are. So, don't give up. It might take a while to find a job, but, there are employers who understand the value of an older worker with maturity, life experience, and skills.

Most people have treasured books of which they are extremely fond, so pine bookcases make a fantastic place in which to safely store them. Pine is well-known as an easily crafted wood which always looks splendid. Our selection of pine book cases come with shelves of varying heights, so you can pick a model which will accommodate large tomes if needed. Some people choose to select a pine bookcase with drawer, which is a useful repository for maps, leaflets and other written material which wouldn't fit easily on pine bookshelves. Not only will your reading matter be safely stored and protected, but a solid pine bookcase forms an attractive focal point wherever you choose to locate it.
For areas where there's no room for a pine bookcase with drawers, individual shelves or a solid pine shelving unit can still accommodate books but take up less space. It's worth noting that our book cases in pine come in various sizes, so there's normally one which will fit your requirements. A solid pine bookcase is a weighty piece of furniture, so you may wish to take advantage of the option of a two-person delivery team to ensure its safe arrival. This service is available for a small extra charge. Regardless of its weight we will deliver you waxed solid pine book case anywhere on the mainland UK for nothing if you spend more than £300 with us.

New Castle News
Gold is on the line.
History is at stake.
And two familiar foes are ready to do battle to settle it all in the WPIAL Class AAAA championship game.
The New Castle and Hampton high boys basketball teams will meet at 9 p.m. today in the title tilt at Duquesne University's A.J. Palumbo Center.
The top-seeded Red Hurricane (25-0) can win its second consecutive WPIAL championship and become the first program in district history, regardless of classification, to claim consecutive crowns in different classifications. It would mark New Castle's ninth WPIAL basketball championship.
The 'Canes topped the Talbots in last year's Class AAA title game, 57-44.
"That's obviously something that would come with it," New Castle coach Ralph Blundo said of the attempt at making history. "For us, we just want to win this game."
New Castle is ranked No. 1 in the WPIAL in Class AAAA by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and No. 5 in the state by the Patriot-News of Harrisburg.
Another historical first would occur if New Castle upends Hampton because no team ever has won a WPIAL title with an unbeaten record two seasons in a row. The WPIAL crowned its first district champion 104 years ago and there have been 252 winners in four different classes since the first titleist.
The third-seeded Talbots (21-4) stand in New Castle's way. The teams are Section 3 rivals and the 'Canes won both regular season meetings, 75-54 at the Ne-Ca-Hi Field House and 54-50 on Hampton's floor. In fact, the four-point margin was New Castle's closest regular-season verdict the last two seasons. The 'Canes led the first meeting by just two points after three quarters before pulling away.
"I spoke to my team about that accomplishment today and just how great of an accomplishment it is," said Talbots coach Joe Lafko, who is in his 17th season at the helm, of returning to the district championship game. "It's great to play for a Quad-A championship.
"Going to the finals in back-to-back years is a challenging feat. I'm very proud of my guys. We're taking a workmanlike attitude to this game."
The Talbots have played in five WPIAL championship games since 2006 and their fourth in the last five seasons. They won the crown in 2009.
"We're very proud of our tradition," Lafko said. "Having a chance to reach the (WPIAL) finals is a goal of any western Pennsylvania team. To have the opportunity to play for the championship is always a goal of ours."
Hampton's top weapons are in the form of size and wingspan courtesy of junior twin brothers Ryan Luther and Collin Luther.
Ryan Luther, a 6-foot-8 forward, paces the Talbots at 21 points and 7.5 rebounds a game. He has Division I offers from Dayton and Duquesne, while receiving interest from other schools such as North Carolina-Wilmington, Davidson, Iowa and Virginia Tech.
"Ryan is just a special player," Blundo said. "He can play inside and he can play outside.
"He does it every way you can do it. He'll post up. He gets to the cup. Any way you can do it, he's able to get it done in that fashion."
Ryan dominated the 'Canes in the first matchup, posting a game-best 30 points. He has scored 58 points in the last two playoff games.
Collin Luther, a 6-7 guard/forward, checks in at 16 points and 4.3 boards a matchup.
"Collin is the stabilizing force for that team," Blundo said. "He handles the ball. He's big, strong and he can finish around the cup.
"He's been doing it for three years now."
Collin is receiving Division I looks, with Bucknell and Navy expressing interest.
Jon Floss, a 5-11 junior guard, sat out Hampton's home loss to New Castle with the flu. Jack Obringer started in Floss' absence that night, but Floss will be in the starting lineup for the Talbots tonight.
Floss contributes eight points a game and Obringer chips in six.
"It's certainly good to have Floss back in the lineup," Lafko said. "He's athletic and he will give us more depth."
David Huber, a 6-2 sophomore guard, tosses in 17.3 markers and 3.1 rebounds a matchup and Joey Lafko, the coach's son, adds 10 points a game.
"David Huber continues to improve," Joe Lafko said. "He continues to learn the game.
"Joey Lafko has continued to step up and battle injuries for us. He made some big plays and big shots for us this year."
The Talbots, who placed third in the section, average 61.3 points and give up 52 a contest.
"Offensively, they'll take the easy one if they can get it. If not, they'll slow it down," Blundo said. "We shortened the game in the fourth quarter at Hampton because we had a lead. They can play a variety of different styles. Man, zone press and they'll show a couple of different zone defenses."
Blundo knows repeating as champions won't be easy.
"We just have to continue to do what we've done and that's play New Castle basketball," he said. "We need to play extremely hard and do a good job on the boards.
"I just think we're playing our best basketball right now. But both teams are playing well."
Shawn Anderson, a 6-3 senior guard/forward and Navy recruit, leads New Castle in scoring at 20.7 points a game. He ranks second in the county in that category to Neshannock's Ernie Burkes (21.1 ppg.).
"Shawn Anderson is a very good player," Lafko said. "The thing that stands out the most to me is his ability to shoot from the perimeter.
"He can score from anywhere on the floor. He can pull up and knock down 3s. He's a quick rebounder and he's a good jumper."
Anderson is averaging 8.4 rebounds, three assists and 2.4 steals a game. He has tossed in 76 total points in the three playoff games this season.
"His level of consistency is the same," Blundo said of Anderson. "The way he plays is the same every single game. Shawn always plays well in big games, as has other guys. For us, every game is a big game. That's the atmosphere we try to create."
Malik Hooker, a 6-2 junior guard/forward, backs up Anderson's numbers at 17 points, 7.8 boards, three steals and 2.7 assists a contest.
"Malik is another improved shooter for New Castle," Lafko said. "His athleticism makes him a tough player to guard."
Anderson and Hooker were a lethal one-two punch against the Talbots at the Field House. Hooker paced New Castle with 24 points and Anderson chipped in with 22. Anderson scored 17 markers in the rematch and Hooker added 15.
Anthony Richards, a 5-9 junior guard, tallies 9.5 points a game to go with a county-best 64 3-pointers. Brandon Domenick, a 5-9 senior point guard and Gannon recruit, contributes 9.1 markers a matchup along with 56 3-pointers.
Domenick owns the program's all-time record for 3-pointers made with 194.
"Richards is a good shooter and he plays extremely good defense," Lafko said. "He pressures the ball very well.
"Brandon is a very good point guard. He has had an exceptional four years at New Castle. He's the all-time leading 3-point shooter in New Castle history, that stat alone speaks volumes to him playing the game and his team's success. He distributes the ball. He finds the open man and he can knock down open shots."
The uptempo 'Canes are averaging 80 points a game, second in the district behind Vincentian Academy (83.6 in Class A). New Castle is giving up 52.2 markers a contest.
The 'Canes' defense forces 25.5 turnovers, while opponents are causing just 10 New Castle miscues.
"New Castle gives you great defensive pressure," Lafko said. "They really put a lot of pressure on the ball and they make you work to bring it up the floor.
"New Castle creates offense from their defense. They run traps at you and rotate well. They also run the break as well as any team I've seen. They fill the lanes and can finish off the fastbreak. That factor is something that very few teams in the history of basketball can do. This team does it as well as any team I've seen."
Hampton has lost its last four matchups against the 'Canes by an average score of 66-52.
"I think there are three keys to victory for us," Lafko said. "It will come down to how well we handle New Castle's pressure. Another key will be how many open shots we will get off transition.
"The third is we're going to have to limit their second and third opportunities. They're quick to the ball and that's a credit to their athleticism. They get a lot of rebounds and loose balls."
Both teams have secured spots in the PIAA playoffs as well, which starts March 9 in Quad-A. The winner will meet the fifth-place team out of the WPIAL, which is Gateway. The loser will battle the District 8 (Pittsburgh City League) champion Westinghouse.

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
IGNACIO – They say basketball is a game of runs.
They didn't mean it like this.
The Bloomfield Bobcats went on a 9-0 foul run in the third quarter of the Ignacio High School boys basketball team's home opener Tuesday night, then the IHS Bobcats returned the favor with an 8-1 foul run of their own between the third and fourth quarters.
"You see it sometimes," IHS head coach Chris Valdez said, after chuckling about those runs. "And it's neither here nor there."
It certainly wasn't Tuesday in Ignacio, where the home court-variety Bobcats used a 17-4 first-quarter lead to propel them to a to an easy 56-34 victory.
"We just outhustled them and were more aggressive, crashed the boards and tough D," said Clayton Jefferson, who had a game-high-tying 15 points for the Bobcats.
Quarter 1 mattered most when it came to building Ignacio's mostly constant lead.
Although Valdez said his team's defensive intensity was lacking early on, its shooting touch was not.
Freshman Wyatt Hayes made two of his three first-half 3-pointers in the first frame as Ignacio powered through a 17-2 scoring run while Bloomfield's shots refused to drop.
"Wyatt with his three 3s in the first half really engineered (our lead)," Valdez said.
Hayes finished with 11 points for IHS.
But the second quarter didn't go quite as well, as Bloomfield started to pick apart that intensity-light defense. Bloomfield crept within nine at 20-11 with about two minutes to play before Jefferson sank two consecutive 3-pointers to open the lead back up.
"I've been working all week on them and previous weeks, and they seem to be coming along," Jefferson said.
Then, after the break, Valdez decided to institute a trap defense for the first time this season.
The trap started churning Bloomfield turnovers.
"It's a good trap defense," Kelton Richmond said.
He would think so; he was the biggest beneficiary of Bloomfield's turnovers.
After scoring just three points in the first half, Richmond scored 12 after the intermission for a game-high 15 points.
"Got out in transition more ... got some easy buckets," said Richmond, son of Denise and Jeff Richmond, who got some help with slick, in-paint passes from Adison Jones and Austin Haire, who had eight and six rebounds, respectively.
"Kelton's turning into a quiet leader and a quiet scorer for us," Valdez said.
"He doesn't look like he's doing much" but that score line, and his teammates, say much differently, the 13th year head coach said.
So by the time those runs of a different sort came along in the final two quarters, the game already was well in hand for Ignacio (4-0).
Still, Valdez said there's plenty to work on after four games in six days, including limiting turnovers (18 on Tuesday), that trap defense, crisp passing and better conditioning before taking the weekend off then hosting Sargent on Dec. 14.
But Jefferson, son of Robert and Tina Jefferson, didn't have too much to complain about after Tuesday's rout in the Bobcats' home opener.
"It was fun; good to go out and give the crowd another show," he said.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — It's time to stop talking and start replacing Cass Road Bridge, county officials said.
Several community leaders recently raised concerns about rebuilding Cass Road Bridge and asked whether the Grand Traverse region might be better served by an east-west connection river crossing at Hartman and Hammond roads. The Grand Traverse County Commission and the county's Road Commission met Tuesday to discuss that question and its effect on the multi-governmental effort to remove several dams on the Boardman River.
Road commission officials appeared ready to commit to a new Cass Road crossing in conjunction with the removal of the Boardman and Sabin dams — in part because more than $3 million in state money secured for that project cannot be reallocated for other uses — even if the bridge won't fix regional traffic congestion.
"If we don't put in a bridge there, we are going to have a significant local negative impact," road commission member Marc McKellar said. "We have the money. Personally I think we should move forward with this project."
Both the Boardman Dam and the Cass Road crossing are in poor condition. County Administrator Dave Benda, a member of the dam removal implementation team, said in a previous meeting the dam removal project is living on "borrowed time."
A firm answer on the Cass Road crossing question allows the implementation team to select an engineering firm for the next two dam removals and to pursue funding for that work. The team has secured about $1 million from various funding sources to date. Officials estimate the two removals will cost $10 million overall.
County commissioners Dick Thomas and Charlie Renny said replacing Cass Road Bridge will do little to improve traffic congestion on a regional basis or on the overcrowded South Airport Road.
Other officials saw an east-west regional traffic connector as a separate issue from Cass Road Bridge, which serves a local traffic need. Regional traffic is a problem that needs to be addressed, but not at the expense of the Cass Road crossing and the longstanding dam removal project.
"For two years or two and a half years this project has been talked about," road commission Manager Jim Cook said. "It's like a lot of projects, everybody knows its coming but nobody believes its real until it slaps you in the face. And we're really at that point."

Several players missed practice today with injuries. Redshirt freshman running back Jordan Johnson (Sweet Home) was on the sidelines with his left arm in a sling.
"Jordan banged up his elbow, so we're going to have to keep a close eye on that and see how long it's going to take," head coach Jeff Quinn said.
Junior wide receiver Cordero Dixon, who is expected to compete for the slot position, was in street clothes. Dixon took a big shot Monday from corner Cortney Lester and was on the ground for about five minutes before walking off under his own power.
Junior right guard Dillon Guy was on crutches, but Quinn said the injury -- a rolled ankle acquired in the team's morning session -- is not too serious and he expects Guy back soon.
"Dillon's a tough kid, and we're expecting he'll be out for a few days and we'll see what happens," Quinn said.
Senior wide receiver Fred Lee got hit today and was surrounded by the medical staff for several minutes before he walked off. It appeared he simply had the wind knocked out of him.
"He kind of laughed," Quinn said. "Freddy's one of the toughest kids I've ever known."

Avik Roy, Forbes Staff
Last night, House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) pulled his "Plan B" off the House floor because it lacked support from the House Republican caucus. The media is atwitter about Boehner's failure to control his troops, because they believe that President Obama has gained a tactical victory from it. But as a policy matter, it's far better that Republicans pass nothing, than pass a tax increase without any accompanying reform of our runaway spending on health-care entitlements. Indeed, despite all of the dramatic hyperbole about the "fiscal cliff," it's important to remember that going over the fiscal cliff will reduce the budget deficit by $503 billion in 2013, and $682 billion in 2014, relative to the "solutions" being bandied about on Capitol Hill. What's so terrible about that?
First, let's review the key components of what will happen in 2013 if Congress passes nothing this month.
Fiscal cliff component #1: Tax increases
The first aspect of the fiscal cliff is that taxes will go up. Income tax rates will revert back to the rates we had under President Clinton, leaving aside the additional $1.2 trillion in tax increases that Democrats passed under Obamacare. The top income tax rate will rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent.
In addition, there are a number of other temporary tax provisions that will expire. Congress steps in every year to add an inflation adjustment to the Alternative Minimum Tax, because the AMT was not originally indexed to inflation. Without an inflation adjustment, more people will meet the income threshold for the AMT.
The deficit impact of extending these provisions, as people on both sides of the aisle want to do, is $330 billion in 2013, and $420 billion in 2014, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
If Congress were to extend all of these temporary tax provisions except for the lower tax rates on individuals with incomes above $200,000, as President Obama has advocated, the deficit impact would still be steep: $288 billion in 2013, and $382 billion in 2014.
Fiscal cliff component #2: Spending cuts
The second aspect of the fiscal cliff is that, if we go over it, spending will go down. Temporary payroll tax holidays, which reduce the Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes paid by employed individuals, will expire. In addition, the "temporary" extension of unemployment benefits undertaken during the recession will finally end. Continuing those temporary tax holidays and temporary unemployment benefits will increase the deficit by $108 billion in 2013, and $150 billion in 2014.
Importantly, Medicare's Sustainable Growth Rate will take effect, reducing Medicare's payments to physicians by tens of billions of dollars. This provision, and a few others, will reduce federal spending by $40 billion in 2013, and $61 billion in 2014.
In addition, the Budget Control Act—the law passed last year during the epic debt-ceiling fight—automatically sequesters, or reduces, defense spending by $24 billion in 2013 and $51 billion in 2014.
Fiscal consolidation is inevitable; if not now, when?
Adding all of that up—and understanding that the payroll tax holiday more closely resembles economically impotent stimulus spending—kicking the can down the road comes at a steep fiscal cost. Now, I'm not in favor of going back to the Clinton tax rates. I believe that we should keep tax rates where they are, and reduce spending to get rid of our budget deficit. But President Obama has promised to veto any bill that does so. So what should responsible politicians do?
Remember that continuing to spend money we don't have isn't free. Deficit spending is a tax increase on our children and our grandchildren, and on people who have done the responsible thing and built up their savings. Going over the cliff means that the accounting gimmicks are over. No more "temporary" this and "temporary" that, so that Congress can pretend to be more fiscally responsible than it's actually being. Going over the cliff means that a broad swath of Americans will be required to pay for the enlarged government that they voted for in November. I don't think that's such a bad thing.
Much of the Republican behavior on Capitol Hill has been driven by fear of how the electorate will view Republicans if they don't continue to pass temporary tax cuts. But reducing the deficit will have to happen sometime, and whenever it happens, it is likely to have some negative impact on the economy. If Republicans don't want to reduce the deficit two years away from the next election, under a Democratic President and a Democratic Senate, they'll never reduce the deficit. The time to reduce the deficit is now, before a real fiscal crisis emerges, one that makes Greece look like a picnic.
By leaving town and letting America go over the fiscal cliff, Republicans don't have to vote for tax hikes that they justly oppose. Economically counterproductive spending, like the unemployment benefit extension, will come to an end. And an enormous amount of irresponsible accounting gimmickry, like the annual wrangling over the Medicare "doc fix," will end also.
And once Democrats gain their generational victory—returning to the Clinton-era tax rates—what case will they be able to make for even higher tax increases next year? Instead, the conversation will move back to what it always should have been about: the fact that the government spends too much taxpayer money, money it doesn't have.
A responsible alternative to doing nothing
Now all of this is not to say that there wasn't a better policy solution to be had. Raising Medicare's retirement age is far preferable to drastically cutting physician reimbursements, and would save more money over the long term. Across-the-board defense cuts are far clumsier than letting the Secretary of Defense propose his own optimized version of the same amount of spending cuts. And Mitt Romney's approach to tax reform—reducing loopholes and deductions in exchange for lower tax rates—would stimulate the economy and increase tax revenue.
Democrats have vowed to block such measures. But we can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. A package along these lines should have formed the basis for Speaker Boehner's "Plan B," instead of the politically expedient tax hike he actually proposed, one that his own caucus could never support.
The key for Republicans is to also do the right thing in 2013. Democrats will come back in 2013 and attempt to pass all of their spending priorities, along with the Bush tax cuts for everyone making less than $200,000, and dare Republicans to oppose them. But Republicans should indeed oppose them, unless those tax cuts are accompanied by serious entitlement reform.
President Obama has insisted that he would be happy to go over the fiscal cliff in order to ensure that the wealthy pay more in taxes. The responsible thing for Republicans to do is to let him.
Follow Avik on Facebook and on Twitter at @aviksaroy.
UPDATE 1: On Twitter, Ryan Ellis, tax policy director at Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform, writes that I shouldn't consider the payroll tax holiday to be a spending increase, because it's really a tax cut. From an accounting standpoint, it's hard to argue with him.
Elsewhere, Peter Suderman expresses skepticism about my cliffmanship. "After all," he writes, this is "the same GOP that just voted against a strategic tax hike that wasn't going to become law—despite the fact that it might have given them leverage to actually prevent real tax hikes from happening." Erick Erickson, however, is on my side.
UPDATE 2: One point I should have mentioned in the article is that the U.S. already has the most progressive tax code in the developed world. Boehner's "Plan B," by raising taxes on millionaires but maintaining temporary tax holidays for everyone else, would worsen this problem. We're never going to build consensus for entitlement reform if the burden of funding entitlements falls largely to 2 percent of the population.
Go right ahead. And then the Republican House will again lead the US into another downgrade of government debt. This time there should be significant blow back from the public. If you cannot compromise you cannot govern.
Are you an escaped member of the Branch Davidians? Your paranoia is only exceeded by your ignorance.
It's the entitlement programs that're bankrupting us, not military spending and tax cuts. Under Obama, government spending has skyrocketed to 25% of GDP. Democrats have been in charge the last 4 yrs, w/ majorities the first 2 of the 4 –and you're blaming Republicans? Wake up buddy and take off your blinders….
Business pays no tax; it just collects it.
"the stock market collapses".
Along with it millions of IRA's, 401k's – pension plans. What is the matter with you? Good grief. You want more people on the "dole"?
Can't see for the red-mist racism, now can you?
Are you on the payroll for the DNC?
No. These problems started when the Bush tax cuts went through in 2000. There are two sides to this equation — not enough taxes being collected AND too much spending. The fiscal cliff is exactly the right answer. With our huge trade deficit and lax trade policies, our standard of living should absolutely drop as they rise around the rest of the world. We have simply been borrowing to stave off the impact. Now, it is time to pay the piper.
All of this "saving businesses" stuff is complete bull. Some of the "small" businesses make multi-billion dollar profits, they don't need tax cuts. Also, how will not taxing the wealthy generate ANY income? All the republicans complain about all of the debt, but they are the ones who created it with the war and the tax cuts. Bill Clinton SHOWED America that the way to go with policy is high taxes, that was a time when we had a budget SURPLUS.
Summary: republicans complain about debt, but make no solutions to actually reducing the debt, and businesses that are "small" are making more money than most people will make in their entire life.

They met on the Pacific Crest Trail, and by the time they completed the trek from Mexico to Canada, they were a couple.
Adam Bridges and Brittney Yolo of Occidental found a mutual love in hiking that didn't stop with the five-month, 2,660-plus-mile journey through California desert, over the heights of the Sierra Nevada and into the Cascade mountain ranges of Oregon and Washington.
After their first adventure five years ago, they then took on and completed the Appalachian Trail in 2010, a 2,200-mile route from Georgia to Maine.
Brittney Yolo And Adam Bridges
And in late August, they topped it off by completing an approximately 3,100-mile walkabout on the Continental Divide Trail, from New Mexico over the peaks of the Rocky Mountains and through Montana.
Bridges, 30, and Yolo, 31, are now members of a relatively rarified "triple crown" club of about 200 people who have hiked the length of all three trails.
And they've taken another big step.
"I proposed to her on the Continental Divide," Bridges said last week. "We're engaged."
"He carried the ring the whole way," Yolo added. He popped the question in August, near the end of their hike at a spectacular pass in Glacier Park, Mont., amid cathedral cliffs and shimmering lakes.
Earlier this month the couple returned to their Coleman Valley Road home. They caretake property and have seasonal jobs.
Bridges is employed at Martinelli Winery, putting in long days during the crush as a grape press operator. Yolo works for the Sonoma County Agricultural Commissioner's office as a trapper of the European Grapevine moth.
Yolo had never done any hiking when she met Bridges in a group they were part of on the Pacific Crest Trail.
The Analy High School graduate had a strong athletic background, including a softball scholarship to University of Nebraska.
Bridges, who grew up in Maine an Florida, had already done a lot of backpacking with the ultralight gear they favor.
