Sins of the Brother
Pan Macmillan Australia, Nov 10, 2007 - Biography & Autobiography - 544 pages
Like the Beaumont children and the Azaria Chamberlain cases before it, the backpacker murder case in Belanglo State Forest has entered Australian criminal folklore. Seven young people, most of them foreigners backpacking around Australia, brutally murdered, their remains uncovered in 1992 and 1993. It would take scores of police over three years, countless hours of forensic investigation, thousands of false leads and a few precious clues to charge and convict Ivan Milat for their horrific deaths.
"Sins of the Brother" is the definitive work on Ivan Milat, his family and the murders. Almost four years in the making, informed by exclusive interviews with members of the Milat family, key police investigators and Crown lawyers, this book reveals a family culture so bizarre it would lead inexorably to murder. It also scrutinises the police investigation–its remarkable success and failures, the dramatic turning point and the backbiting and bitterness that followed Milat's arrest.
Thought-provoking, totally unsalacious, an exploration of the darker side of Australian life as a whole, "Sins of the Brother" is a detailed and gripping read–a psychological thriller come to life.

Review: Sins of the Brother: The Definitive Story of Ivan Milat and the Backpacker MurdersUser Review - Letitia Webb - Goodreads
The Backpacker murders are a chilling part of Australian history and this book captures the horror and fear Ivan Milat struck in the hearts of, not just Australians, but the world. Very well written and researched. It also begs the question, Did Ivan Milat act alone? Read full review

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Waiting For An Elevator
by Paul on 01/25/06 at 11:23 AM ET
Comments (0)
More than three dozen reporters waited to get into the elevator only to be told by the operator they would have to wait for it to go down and come back because Flyers General Manager Bobby Clarke, injured player Eric Desjardins and a couple of Flyers' flunkies had to take it and they did not want any reporters on it with them. ...It is no secret that the Flyers organization's arrogance is matched only by the number of years without a championship - - that's 30 in case you were wondering - - but Bobby Clarke's unabashed lack of class is really a sight to behold.more

Flying Saucer (at least here) gets everything from the local distribution we get anyway...then factor in a markup of about 200%.
In other words, I can get any beer there at the store for 1/3 of the price.
True, but that's true for just about any bar. It's the atmosphere that you are paying for, though it is hard to get one glass of draft beer at a store.
Yeah, it is kinda expensive.. but i love going there. It is kinda a meeting place for me and my friends. Plus the skirts.
Yes, the scenery in a beer bar minutes from the University of Texas Austin can be quite nice.
The Saucer is one of my Fav. bars... They run some good specials during the week also.
True. I've just found ours with service/selection/and the quality of food has declined some.
I'm not a member of the UFO club, but I have been going there for almost 7 years now so selection seems a tad thin now. It still is the only place I take friends because most other bars just aren't really my thing.
Welcome to the beerknurd club. Now lets see how long it takes for you to get a plate on the wall

Outstanding service from the best! John's knowledge of the law regarding bankruptcy, his experience with the trustee, coupled with his genuine caring for his clients rehabilitation sets him apart from the rest. He provides guidance the whole way through for a reasonable one time fee. I have been his client for 4 years and I am now debt free !!
Jon Martin helped me through a very tough financial time in my life. He got the job done professionally, worked diligently on my case, and supported me though out the process. Taking on a mostly out of state case did not stop him and his team from getting to the root of each scenario of the case. I would personally highly recommend Jon L. Martin. I can't thank him and his team enough for helping me get my life back in order.
My Chapter 11 case was difficult, very uncertain in probable outcome but Jon never gave up on the goal and never abandoned me either emotionally or professionally. He is extremely knowledgable about bankruptcy law and has respect of the court. All of this played a part in the successful outcome of my case,Confirmation and case closed. If you are a small to medium business professional and feel you are headed for financial trouble do not wait hoping "things will get better" Make an appointment and receive his undivided attention before you are behind the financial "curve ball". It is impossible to process a Chapter 11 case in Federal Court without the assistance of an experienced lawyer and Jon Martin is the poster child of top notch bankruptcy lawyers.
Hired Martin earlier this year to do a chapter 7. promised to research my case and get it done on time. He showed up late for court and had not idea of the facts of the case. Refused to answer any questions about the case. Had to hire another lawyer to finish and clean up the missing in incomplete documents.
Jon Martin helped us get thru a problem period in our lives and we are very thankful he was there thru the whole thing.
My husband and I found ourselves overwhelmed because we had become one of the many people stuck in the housing issue. I got out the phone book and started looking for someone to help us. I found Mr Martin. We made an appointment for a consultation. We were very pleased to find that he was very knowledgeable, professional and straight to the point. Although we were embarrassed and ashamed, he did not judge us and made us feel more at ease. He explained what we should expect and kept us informed all the way through this very difficult time. We are so glad we found him, and would certainly recommend him to anyone.
Mr. Martin has been a positive source of great relief and confidence
for us. He has been professionally competent, and personally kind and considerate. His knowledge is impressive. No question is too trivial for him to answer patiently and explain thoroughly. We are grateful to have been referred to him.
Mr. Martin has been very responsive to every question, change in our circumstance and every need. He made sure we understood all options available to our situation and helped us to make the best decision to meet our need. Finally, Mr. Martin took the time to explain each and every document prior to submission on our behalf. He assured us that he would make any change necessary and he meant it, even after doing all the work to prepare the documents.
Jon L. Martin was very helpful in explaining the process of filing for Bankruptcy. My wife and I were very pleased with his staff from start to finish.
Jon Martin and his staff all were supportive, kind, and very capable. He handled our bankruptcy and helped fight and win a wrongful foreclosure action.

Yesterday, T.I.'s much-anticipated sixth album, Paper Trail, was released in stores and online. Thanks to the emcee's new outlook on life, as well as the album's many hit singles, Trail is expected to lock up the #1 spot on Billboard and reach platinum certification before the end of the month. While most of the album leaked ahead of the intended release date, there remains a few select records that didn't make the final track list. One of these leftovers is Propane, on which
Ricco Barrino guest stars. On the record, the two artists share a desire for superstardom— basically, the exact opposite of Tip's newest single, Live Your Life. Propane can be found on the mixtape The Empire & T.I. Present: I Know You Missed Me, available online now.

OMG. What a choke. Federer has now lost three tiebreaks against Nadal in his last 2 matches from 4-2 or 5-3 up... those tiebreaks are really his Achilles' heal. Nadal is more intense, and thus stronger in them.
Nadal the Roma beast! As much I dislike him, that is so fucking impressive to win two straight TMS Roma titles, both times in a final set tiebreak in the final after saving 2 match points.
Nadal vs. Federer is the Nadal vs. Coria matchup of 2006, and same dominator.

Čerín - Gothic church of Saint Martin from the 14th century. During Turkish invasion in the 16th century the church was being surrounded by a wall and in the 17th century there was added columnar belfry.Čerín - Gotický kostol sv. Martina. zo 14. storočia. Počas tureckých nájazdov v 16. storočí kostol obohnali obranným múrom a v 17. storočí pristavali stĺpikovú zvonicu.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

The Best Fitness Tips That You Will Ever ReadFebruary 17th, 2015
When you are looking for good information to help you reach your fitness goals, you may have to sift through a lot of useless information. There is so much good information to be had, finding the right information is important. Luckily, the best tips are in this article, and you can read them below.
Do not make it excuses. When it comes to working out regularly and sticking to it long-term, you can prove to be your own worst enemy. Once you make a plan to workout two or three times a week, stick to it. No exceptions. Don't let yourself put it off.
Work on keeping your muscles limber by holding your stretches. For those under 40, try holding your stretches for about 30 seconds. For those over 40, try holding them for about 60 seconds. The reason for the time difference is that muscles lose their pliability as you grow older and can become strained or receive injury more easily than when you're younger.
To prevent injury when working out, you should stretch after you've sufficiently warmed up your muscles. Do some cardiovascular exercises (jogging, running, bicycling, etc.) first and then stretch your muscles. If you stretch too early, you can leave yourself vulnerable to pulled or torn muscles. Stretching after cardiovascular exercise, also helps to improve flexibility.
Decrease your risk of cancer by adding some exercising time to your schedule. Even adding 30 minutes to your schedule can diminish your cancer risk by around 15%. By exercising even more, you can further diminish your risk for cancer. Moderate exercise is another thing that greatly reduces risks of cancer too.
Some people think that a weight belt will help them with their workout. While a weight belt helps keep your back and abdominals in line, if you continue to workout with the belt, you will actually weaken these areas. These areas will lose some of the workout that you deliver, so you should try to avoid the belt.
When exercising frequently, it is important to give the body breaks to rebuild the damaged muscles. If not, the body will not have time to grow. If one wants to take breaks while still being able to exercise, it can be done by alternating the muscle groups that one exercises. This will allow for the best of both worlds.
Form is crucial in many of the exercises that you will be doing. Many people do not have the right form when they perform a squat. To do this, but a bench underneath you before you squat. Then bend your knees until your butt touches the bench.
Never exercise if you are not feeling well. When you exercise, your body is causing a bit of damage to your muscles, which it needs to repair to make them stronger. If you are sick, your body is busy repairing other issues. Exercising will only make you feel worse.
Keeping yourself educated on fitness is one of the most important aspects of reaching your goals. You can make the best decisions when you have the best information available to you. Keep these tips in mind and you will reach your goals a lot sooner than you had originally hoped.

white cabinets - white underneath?
Hi all,
I just finalized cabinets with my contractor/cab maker today. He showed me the shelves for the inside which are a natural wood color (except for the glass cabs which will be white). He said he would use those on the bottom but i thought they should be white to match the cabinets. Is that correct? Or is it better to go with the easily wipeable natural wood color material?
What color are the insides of your cabinets?
The insides of mine are natural birch veneer (real wood veneer on plywood). The shelves are also plywood with the same birch veneer. The front edges of the shelves are white melamine so they look proper through the gaps between the doors etc.
Where we have glass, the interiors were painted white and we used glass shelves.
What do you mean by 'use those on the bottom'?
I only have one standard upper cab without glass. The shelves are the same material as inside of the drawers: sealed wood. The shelves in my glass uppers are the same wood as my cabinets painted the same white paint.
My white cabinet interiors are all natural wood-look. Same for where my UCLs are. There have been threads on people painting under the cabinets to match, but I can't see the wood with my UCLs in place.
In most lines, you would have to upgrade to all matching interiors to have the bottom of the cabinets to be cabinet body color. And you don't need to spend that extra money unless you want to because a light rail will hide the cabinet bottom unless you are sitting at table height close to where you will see the cabinet bottoms.

Immigration reform vital for cleaning industry employers
As the founder and principal of Janico Building Services, I understand how undocumented immigrants affect the cleaning industry.
For building service contractors in areas with high levels of immigrant labor, the hiring of undocumented workers is widespread. The practice of workers being paid under the table in order for unscrupulous companies to gain an unfair competitive advantage is a persistent source of contention. This hurts small employers like myself who play by the rules.
That's why immigration reform is so important. A poll by Small Business Majority found 7 in 10 entrepreneurs believe companies gain an unfair advantage by hiring cheap undocumented labor. What's more: a survey conducted by trade publication Services Magazine found a majority of respondents from border states listed illegal immigration as a major issue.
Lawmakers in both parties agree we need to fix the system. It's time they stop playing partisan politics and find a solution now.
-- Lorenzo Harris, Owner, Janico Building Services, Sacramento

Pontiac Firebird Replacement Antenna Information
From the beginning Pontiac has built a reputation as a vehicle manufacturer that puts safety and performance at the top of the list. Your car's manufacturer sells solid and robust cars, but all cars have minor parts which occasionally break or need repair - our site has the replacement elements your car or truck is in need of. Your vehicle's Pontiac Firebird Antenna is sometimes inside the auto chassis, mounted on the hood, or may extend when in use but be retracted inside at other times. On lengthy journeys, whether on blue highways or urban congestion, your car's radio is a source of entertainment and news. Picking up a usable radio signal, however, is dependent on the function of your Antenna. On occasion, an Antenna won't function adequately if its wiring has become damaged or unhooked. Antennas function by marshalling radio waves sent by a radio station then directing them to the car radio.
They are available for the following Pontiac Firebird years: 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 88, 87, 86, 85, 84, 83. This part is also sometimes called Pontiac Firebird Car Antennas. We stock antenna parts for most Pontiac models including Bonneville, Grand Am, Grand Prix, Torrent, Solstice, Sunbird, 6000, Parisienne, Grand LeMans, J2000 Sunbird, Safari, Pursuit and J2000.
We stock these Antenna brands for the Pontiac Firebird: AC Delco.
Finding this site on the web without any referral, I was reluctant to order at first. The site itself is easy to move around and finding the parts you need is quick and painless. I received my co...
I am very about the parts and service you are doing. I will continue to do business in the future if the service continued the same way.

I think Bradley beats Rios easily. He is much faster and a much better boxer and Bradley takes a punch very well. Bradley is very good at 147 or he would not have done as well with Pacquiao as he did. As far as Pacquiao fighting Marquez to avoid a fight with Bradley I think that is ridiculous. About 95% of the fans and boxing writers thought Pacquiao won that fight by a mile. Even Pacquiao's sworn enemy, Floyd Mayweather Sr. said Pacquiao won by mile or words to that effect. If Pacquiao beats Marquez clearly he gains much respect from the many fans that thought Marquez deserved to win the third Pacquiao fight. If he beats Bradley again he gains little because damn near everyone thinks he already clearly beat Bradley.I believe Pacquiao chose to fight Marquez for those reason plus it will be a much better fight. He also picked Marquez because he pays much better and this is prize fighting. I don't even know if Bradley would accept a fight with Rios. Apparently he turn down lots of money to fight Guerrero.

It would be a great entertaining fight...
But Bradley would own it... Sure Rios may get Bradley in the corner every once in a while, but not even light fast hands of Pacquiao (along with the power) could catch Bradley enough times to KO him
Meanwhile, Rios has no chance on the scorecards... So, safe bet BRADLEY

Rios has a good chance since he can stay in the pocket and trade even when Bradley is scoring with combinations because of Bam Bam's sturdy chin and the fact Bradley doesn't throw too hard. Pacquiao exposed Bradley's lack of punching power. The fact he was able to blitz Lamont Peterson when Peterson gave Khan such a stern test is a little strange, maybe the PEDs Peterson was using contributed to that, or maybe he just improved as a fighter. Bradley would be favored in a match against Rios, but don't rule out an upset, I think Bradley is susceptible to fighters who are willing to take two to land one.

Campese declares England interest
ESPNscrum Staff
April 25, 2012
David Campese's declaration in the England job will be greeted with a mixed reaction © Getty Images
Australian legend David Campese has thrown his hat in the ring for the vacant England backs coach post.
The threequarter retired from the game back in 1996, with 101 caps and 64 tries to his name for the Wallabies, and has since coached the Natal Sharks and the Tongan Sevens team, alongside pursuing his commercial interests. With England potentially a backs coach short ahead of the trip to South Africa in June, Campese is adamant that he could do a job for Stuart Lancaster.
But even Campese admits that his declaration may be given short shrift by the Rugby Football Union after his history of provoking the English.
"This isn't a joke," Campese told The Times. "People will say, 'Oh, there's Campo sounding off again.' But that's not the case.
"I would love to help out if they were interested in talking to me. I think I could bring something, even if it was only in a consultancy or advisory role. I know Brad Barritt well from his time with the Sharks and he knows what I can do."
Despite Campese's offer, it seems that former All Blacks coach Wayne Smith is still the favourite to land the post on a full-time basis. Smith is reportedly considering a job offer from Lancaster to join the England backroom staff after the pair met in South Africa.
Due to Smith's Super Rugby commitments however, reports in the Daily Telegraph suggest that London Irish coach Mike Catt could be offered the role on an interim basis for the summer tour of South Africa.

Really cool place! Very cozy, comfortable and good-designed hotel
with quit relaxed atmosphere. You feel like owners were trying to
take care about all your needs and at the same time make everything
simple and still functional. It seems people feel very proud about
working there.... From the receptionists, to the cleaning staff, to
the host at breakdast. Btw, excellent breakfast! Also, this hotel is
very close to metro.
P.S. special thanks for the beautiful complimentary champagne, card, and s - Anonymous
I have been staying in this Hotel for over 13 yrs; it is like "coming home"; clean facilities; nice, friendly staff, excellent spa - Anonymous
The most important for me, speaking about the hotel always is the comfort and possibility to have all u need during your stay. In this case, I can admit that Aquamarine hotel was perfect- near the city centre (reach in 10 min by metro), calm place, good stuff. Possibility to work (if necessary) or just to relax after hard day in a traffic jumps, meetings ec. also good mood: clean, comfortable, good air conditioning system. - Anonymous
Staff friendliness is particularly noted. It was good that most of the
staff - mainly Reception - speak fluent english. The hotel was clean,
rooms and common space. Also worth noting that a big added value results
from the hotel being close to the Euro-mall shopping center and the
Vystavochnaya metro station. - Anonymous
A great experience of living in a "Stalin skyscraper"
building, beautiful lobby, small but comfortable rooms, excellent
breakfast! Clean, good service. Excellent swimming pool and sauna with
bath robes, showers - don't miss it! Close to several railway
stations - if you need to take a train, you do not need transfers. - Anonymous
Very close to the airport, free shuttle service every 15 to 30 minutes, you can even download their shuttle time table. If you are arriving late or have an early flight, you can't find a better place for this rate. Has a reasonably good kitchen. - Anonymous
This is my second visit to this hotel, location is good, it is near to underground station, breakfast and diner are good too. I can not say: Staff are so friendly and they do not know english, but staff of reception knows english and they are very frendly.
Clean and good hotel. I can prefer that hotel for stay on the future. - Anonymous
Nice, spacious, clean hotel with helpful English-speaking staff. Everything works as it should, including wi-fi in rooms and lobby, bathroom, heating controls etc. Breakfast buffet has plenty of choice, fresh, and tasty. Espresso machine provides nice coffee. Short walk to Metro station, and very close to (awful) Cosmos hotel, where many colleagues stayed for the same meeting. Convenient supermarket around the corner, restuarants (expensive) nearby. - Anonymous
Personal can speak English, clean, comfortable, compare to other russian-style hotels there was excellent breakfast, close to metro station Yugo-Zapadnaja. - Anonymous
The location is great. Metro, airport express(from/to Sheremetievo) and supermarkets are all with minutes' walk and easy to find. Tourists can take Metro to reach almost all the hotspots of the city. It's also very convenient to go to other train stations. The english-speaking stuff is kind and willing to help. Wifi connection is good. - Anonymous
I booked a standart room. The staff made an upgrade for me for the same price which was a great surprise. There is an access to wi-fi on the each floor (earlier it was only on 8th). The staff is friendly. The room has everything I need. Location is excellent especially for business trips as it is next to metropolitan. Also, there are supermarkets not far away. - Anonymous

I also used potatoes instead of turnips because I had no turnips. (I used what I had in the house.) This is really a good recipe! I followed your instructions except for the dried bean part. The vinaigrette dressing added just the right sweet and acid for the greens. I did add a little red pepper to mine because I like red pepper in greens but this was a super recipe without it! By the way, using the canned peas, my dish was done in about 20 minutes.
I used potato instead of turnips (I had none)and it worked out well. I added smoked sea salt at the end of cooking. It was a quick and easy recipe and is super filling with brown rice. I also made the balsamic vinaigrette at home so Yum!

I used kale instead of collards. The combination of turnips and black eyed peas along with the greens is delicious! This is easy to make! Great recipe!
Healthy but pretty blah. Definitely, needs the vinegar and oil.
Yum! And so good for me. I added a bit of salt.

Short $30k at end of Foundation / Remodel Project
We're close to wrapping up a massive build-out / remodel / foundation project and are out of loan money, trying to figure out our options.
We've got two mortgages out. We borrowed less than we wanted, mainly because we were signing our loan docs in the fall of '07, right when all the lending was tightening up. We re-negotiated with our two contractors to adjust for the decreased amount of cash we would have on hand.
But then the roof completely failed during foundation leveling. And we found some more dry rot. And the city wanted fire sprinklers. And the utility wanted $10k for a gas line.
Talking to both of our lenders, they want us in the house before they'll consider refinancing -- their definition of remodel vs. reconstruction is whether or not the house is occupied.
Anyhow, a couple of key items need to be wrapped up before we can occupy, including exterior railings, stucco, fire sprinkler, gas, and drywall. We were planning all along to take occupancy after that point, finishing the interior, exterior & landscaping ourselves.
With the banks saying "no more dinero," and us needing to spend ~$30k to move in, we have a few options:
- tap down-on-the-market retirement and already depleted savings accounts, which we would rather keep in tact as a emergency reserves
- run up the credit cards and work to pay them off (or roll in to a new mortgage)
- borrow from (???) as an unsecured loan (fine, but from whom?)
Anybody else in a similar situation in this down economy with advice?
Just to be clear, financially we're not up against a wall or in over our heads. The existing mortgages are leaving us plenty of money left over for the other work to get done in a pay-as-we-go fashion. And the sooner we can move in, that's another thousand bucks in our pocket monthly. But we need to get this money now so we can get moved in and refinanced.
I'm thinking credit cards are easiest, but I'd hate for two maxxed-out Visa accounts to affect our credit score when refiancing the home.
Seems like you're between a rock and a hard place. I feel for you. If you have $30K in a taxable account in a cash equivalent fund of some kind, I would use that. But I would not cash in a depleted stock holding because that would turn a paper loss into a real loss. And I would not use money from a tax deferred account especially this year when you can refrain from taking Required Minimum Distributions, which are taxable, a "gift" from the IRS due to the market collapse.
Aside from these suggestions, Is there some way of getting a certificate of occupancy (that would satisfy your bank) if only part of the building is so certifiable? Probably not, but maybe worth exploring any way.
Thanks all... some replies:
- Hitting up family isn't much of an option. This had been my in-laws' house that they were unable to maintain due to age, disability and income; the project was to build out a ground floor "apartment" combined with foundation work. They're in it with us, and have no financial resources to fall back on. And unfortunately, MY dad recently joined the ranks of the unemployed, so I don't want to impose (he's been a great help to me working on the house, and they've graciously contributed financially prior to his job loss).
- I don't want to count this an a rainy day emergency just yet -- we're doing fine living in a rental and we do have the option of ceasing all work and taking a break for a year (or whatever it takes) while we regroup. I'd rather have any savings banked for other financial hiccups, like job loss or true emergencies.
Do any of you have experience with unsecured loans from credit unions, other lending institutions, or even going to credit card companies? Just curious if these are options. Actually planning on hitting the street today to visit my two CU's, and thinking a call to my credit card holders might be worth while -- as long as they don't get scared off by my request and pull our credit!
We visited Wells Fargo Financial and here's what they offered to loan us:
145% of our value of our cars (we had to show them pink slips, so if we were financing, we would be SOL.
$6,000 unsecured with the potential to ask for an increase. This is basically a credit card with a 15% rate.
Added up, that amounts to $41,000. We're going to shop around a little. This would at least be a step towards getting us in the house and allowing us to refi, though Wells told us they're freezing all refi requests until October due to the number of existing requests in the pipeline.

The following is part of an outline of a deal on tax cuts that the White House and congressional leaders are discussing:
- extending lower Bush tax rates for EVERYONE for 2 more yrs;
- extending 99 weeks' worth of unemployment insurance benefits for an additional 13 months for approximately nine million Americans – without being offset by spending cuts;
- one year payroll tax reduction for employees — from 12.4% to 10.4% ($120 billion worth). This is instead of the "Making Work Pay" tax credit in the stimulus bill – an administration officials says this will "will have more than twice the economic impact next year as a one-year extension of Making Work Pay." It also will be more noticed than that tax credit, which many Americans didn't realize they had received;
- allowing businesses to deduct 100% of certain investments in the first year (President Obama pitched this in September).
Says an administration official: "this is the largest temporary investment incentive in American history and should be a powerful driver of growth";
- extending the American Opportunity Tax Credit (college tuition), Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit plus their refundability.
Says the administration official: "this represents about $40 billion in tax cuts for the hardest-hit families and students that would have been virtually impossible to achieve outside the context of this deal";
- two years of estate tax at 35%, with a $5 million floor (first proposed by Sens. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., and Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.)
This deal has not been agreed upon yet – and in fact President Obama's meeting with Democratic congressional leaders has gone longer than expected, indicating some possible pushback. The president, Vice President Biden, and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner have been working this proposal all weekend with congressional leaders.
The Daily Caller's Jon Ward was first to report some of these details.

So you can't hold too much against him, especially since EMI gives Richard X access to its catalogue to cut and paste as he sees fit on X-Factor Vol. 1. "Being Boiled" shows up again, this time paired with a revamp of Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody"; the result, "Being Nobody," is an electromagnetic pulse that makes the 1980s seem earthy -- in a good way. Human League gets even more love on "Finest Dreams," a tag team of its "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of" and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis' "The Finest" fronted by gifted singer Kelis that makes you wonder why she isn't a bigger star. She could sing over a dial tone and make it work.
Elsewhere, Deborah Evans-Stickland, late of New Wave novelty the Flying Lizards, turns up for a version of the Burt Bacharach-Hal David chestnut "Walk on By" recorded for play over the PA at Heathrow Airport; you half expect her to direct someone to the red courtesy phone. Soul II Soul's Caron Wheeler and Pulp's Jarvis Cocker (with sampled assistance from Mazzy Starr) also help bring Richard X's car-crash vision to life. It's a more thought-out (and certainly more official) take on the sloppy mash-ups that permeate the Net now as much as pop-up ads. No, Richard X hasn't sold out. But maybe you should buy in.

Abington Heights graduate and University of Scranton junior Justin Klingman played a key role in the success of the Royals men's basketball team this past season.
The Royals, who were defeated by Hobart in the first round of the Division III NCAA Tournament, finished the season with a 24-4 record and won the Landmark Conference title. It was the best record in head coach Carl Danzig's 12-year tenure.
Klingman came off the bench early in the season and moved into the starting lineup for the final 17 games. He shot 56.5 percent on 3-pointers, (65 for 115), which broke the school's season record for 3-point percentage in a season, previously held by Al Callejas (.541%).
Klingman led the Landmark Conference in 3-point shooting percentage and would have had the highest percentage in the country across all NCAA's levels, but was five shots shy of qualifying.

The 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
On Sunday evening two of Israel's main TV channels were continuing with news coverage of the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers, while another was broadcasting live coverage of the World Cup.At precisely the same time the game between Switzerland and Ecuador kicked off, some 25,000 people were gathered at the Western Wall to recite prayers on behalf of the kidnapped youths. In synagogues throughout Israel and the world, at precisely the same time, members of disparate Jewish communities, sharing different affiliations and religious beliefs, also gathered for similar events. There is a need to come together and to share the feeling of collective responsibility and shared anguish at the unknown fate of the three boys.I had intended this week to write my weekly column about the soccer craze gripping the world and about the 12,000 Israelis who, so it is reported, have traveled to Brazil to watch the games, despite the fact that Israel did not even qualify.It was one of those columns I had planned long in advance, checking the date on my calendar to remind me of the topic for this week. A tongue-in-cheek piece about the way the world takes a break from its normal activities for a month once every four years, disrupts all regular work and family schedules, and stays up late (if watching from distant countries such as Israel) to watch 11 overpaid young men, not that much older than the kidnapped teenagers, kick a round ball around a piece of grass.But how can one sit back and enjoy the antics of the soccer pitch when we are all so concerned with the fate of the three kidnapped teenagers? How can one enjoy the color and the singing of the football crowds when faced with the solemnity and fear expressed by the crowds gathered at the Western Wall and throughout the world? The media doesn't really have anything new to report. It regurgitates what it has been saying all day long, rolling out a long line of retired security officials, academics and politicians, all of whom have too much to say about a situation they actually know little about.One feels a sense of responsibility to keep abreast of the news, commentaries and analyses of the kidnapping situation, but the talking heads are no more knowledgeable of what is really happening than is the average citizen.They intrude on the lives of the families of the kidnapped children, pretend to have special inside channels of information with senior government or security officials, but don't really add anything to what could have been said in one 15-minute update.The boys were kidnapped somewhere along the Hebron bypass route. It is a route I travel on two or three times a week between Beersheba, Metar and Jerusalem. There are always young boys of high school age standing by the roadside waiting for someone to give them a ride. I am always happy to oblige. It gives me time to engage with people whose political views I do not necessarily agree with, but with whom I can agree to disagree even though we diverge on the basic existential issues concerning the future of the State of Israel and its long-term security.These kids are all self-confident. They are not afraid of anti-Semites stalking them on the streets of a far-off country. They feel secure in their homeland as a matter of principle and, as such, do not see the dangers which are lurking behind the closed windows of a passing car. They are, unfortunately, easy prey for terrorists and, as was just proved, this particular group of teenagers were caught in the trap.Beyond the kidnapped boys and the world football competition, other events are taking place in our immediate region. Islamic fundamentalists are taking over large parts of Iraq, leaving havoc and slaughter in their wake. The pictures of mass executions are too reminiscent of terrible events that happened to the Jewish people 70 years ago. Following on the deaths of 150,000 (estimated) people in the savage Syrian civilian war and the general upsurge of al-Qaida-sponsored violence throughout the Middle East, one would have thought that the world would have something to say, to do, to prevent the continuation of these atrocities.But this is pushed aside as here in Israel we are concerned with the fate of three individuals, not 300 and not 3,000, each of whom has a name, a family and a supportive community environment. There are those who argue that Israel's public concern with the fate of "just" three people in the face of the tens of thousands being slaughtered around us is a sign of weakness and that we are too concerned with the fate of individuals when we should be more concerned with the bigger picture.But not only is this not a weakness, it is precisely the strength of this country and society that, despite our many internal differences, we immediately come together in an act of global solidarity out of joint concern and anguish for the fate of every individual. The day when we start to respond to kidnappings and killings the way much of the world is responding to what is transpiring in Syria and Iraq is the day we lose our essential humanity and our raison d'etre to exist as an independent state.And with all our love for the "beautiful game," the day that football takes precedence over the fate of the three boys is the day that we lose our bearings on what is truly important in our lives. Escapism is a good thing to have in life, considering the stress of the workplace and providing for our families. But we can only engage in such activities when we can be sure that all around us are safe and free to enjoy the same escapism.That does not mean that we don't have much to improve and that we are perfect – we are a long way from that. The fate of the Palestinians and their future independence is still in our hands, but that does not, can never, justify the kidnappings of the three teenagers or any form of brutality practiced in the name of ethnicity, religion or nationalism.The country has rallied around the families and offered them support – religious, moral and political – in an admirable fashion. This support has absolutely nothing to do with their political beliefs.
