The home is most people's biggest investment, and taking care of that home is important. People mow their lawns, trim their shrubbery and paint their houses. Others even put out silly gnomes, yard animals and bird feeders going that extra mile. However, some homeowners neglect the roof of their homes. Which is not a good thing to do. Below are four reasons why cleaning your roof regularly is a good practice. – Probably better than any gnome.
The Gunk
If a roof is not cleaned regularly, it will be a breeding ground for nasty bacteria and fungus that will basically eat away at your roof. Depending on where you live, the fungus will grow at an alarming rate and damage your roof for good. This will require roofing repair and or total replacement.
It's Your Biggest Investment
Other than the fungus problem, cleaning your roof is just a smart thing to do since, as mentioned earlier, you are caring for your biggest investment. – Well probably… If you are an average guy like me and don't own an airplane or something crazy like that.
You're the Neighborhood Eyesore
Have you ever driven through a neighborhood and seen those houses that made you think, "That house would be so nice if that roof didn't have those brown streaks."? Yeah, me too.
The house with the dirty, nasty, green and brown roof can be the eyesore of the neighborhood. You will become the neighbor that everyone dislikes because you are making the whole neighborhood look bad just because of your green and brown roof. Heck, it might even become the scary house that all of the kids in the neighborhood avoid on Halloween. Don't be that house!
It's Time to Sell
Consider this, it's time to sell your house. You are excited to get out of your house and move into your nice new house out in the country. However, you can't figure out why your house has been on the market so long. You take care of the yard, the flower beds, the paint. What is going on? The inside even has a new dishwasher and beautifully remodeled bathroom. The house also has new wooden floors that cost you an arm and a leg. – But here's the deal, if people can't get past that nasty roof as they drive by your house, they may never even make it to the inside of your house.
Your Kids and Their Significant Others
This is when you know things are bad with your roof. – And it's not just your roof exactly, but no matter how nice everything else is with your house, your ugly roof is making your whole house look bad. Because of this, your children are refusing to bring their new boyfriends and girlfriends home to meet you. If you want to make sure your daughter is not dating an ex-con, you may want to get your roof cleaned.

Master your computer by managing your data
The sheer amount of digital property we all have now can be tough to manage. Where did you save that photo? You know someone sent you a document, but to which e-mail address? If your house is flooded - let's say - will your data be safe?
Spend less time searching
It's nearly 2014, so you're presumably familiar with the concept of the cloud - storing data online so that you can access it from any Internet-connected computer. Most likely, the first service you ever used that did something like this was an e-mail service like e-mail from Gmail, Hotmail (now Outlook) or Yahoo! Mail.
There are risks of entrusting your e-mail and other data to the cloud - and as a friend says often, nothing is really free - but for many consumers, the convenience has been convincing enough.
Dropbox and Google Drive are the big players here, with Box and Apple's iCloud appealing to specific subsets of consumers. Microsoft's SkyDrive is a bit of a latecomer, but we know Microsoft has plenty of money and motivation to keep pace with Google and Apple.
Think of these services - many of which offer entry-level storage free, and paid levels for more space - like you think of your web-based e-mail. What you store in your Dropbox folders can be accessed from your computer at home, at work, on your tablet or on your smartphone. You can organize them just like you'd organize a folder system on your home computer, and you can tell them to sync each time you start up, so files are stored online as well as locally (or not). You'll always know where everything is: in the cloud.
Spend less time recovering
When backing up data, redundancy is the name of the game. A solid data-backup plan can save untold hours of work and consternation in case of a technical or natural disaster.
You may have your kids' photos on your computer and on an external hard drive in case of a hard-drive failure - but if something happens to your house, you'll be up a creek. Having a backup in a second geographic location can save your hide.
Backing up regularly to a hard drive that you can store at a relative's house or, again, in the cloud, is the way to go for basic stuff like photos you've taken and music you've bought. If you get into a good rhythm of backing things up and have something a little more sensitive to store, you could also stash a hard drive in a safe deposit box.
For a spendier option, there are also enormous storage devices that claim to be fireproof and waterproof. One example is the ioSafe 214 NAS RAID. The 2-terabyte version is listed at $899.99 and comes with one year of data-recovery service - and claims to protect data from loss up to 1550 degrees Fahrenheit for half an hour and from being at a depth of 10 feet underwater for 72 hours.

New products introduced over the last week include a website from Putnam dedicated solely to defined contribution investment, and WisdomTree's announcement that underwriters have exercised their option to purchase additional stock in a secondary offering.
In addition, Invesco announced that only three out of 123 ETFs will be delivering capital gains distributions for 2012, and Vista Equity Partners announced that it has completed its acquisition of Taxware.
Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:
1) Putnam Launches New Website Dedicated to Defined Contribution Investment
Putnam Investments announced that it has created a new, dedicated defined contribution investment-only (DCIO) website that captures the content most requested by consultants, recordkeeping firms and investment research professionals. The site is live.
Inustry research reported earlier this year by Strategic Insight indicated that the DCIO market is set to grow to 60% of total DC assets by 2017, up from an estimated 52% at year-end 2011.
The new site will include a variety of educational materials. Coming early next year will be links to the Putnam Fund Visualizer, an investment analytics tool that allows research and advisors to compare funds and model portfolios as well as plan investment menus.
Other resources include detailed product profiles, commentaries, and fact sheets on over 30 funds and Putnam's collective trusts; Putnam's quarterly market trends book; sector insights and analyst commentary on industries and market sectors; and weekly economic updates and monthly market summaries.
2) WisdomTree Announces Underwriters Exercise Option in Secondary Offering
WisdomTree Investments, Inc. announced that the underwriters for the public offering of 26,000,000 shares of WisdomTree common stock by certain of its existing stockholders exercised their option to purchase an additional 1,795,630 shares of its common stock. WisdomTree will not receive any proceeds from the offering, and is not issuing any new shares; therefore, its total number of shares outstanding will not change as a result of the offering.
BofA Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Goldman, Sachs & Co. are acting as book-running managers and Piper Jaffray and Sterne Agee are acting as co-managers for the offering.
3) Invesco to Deliver No Capital Gains Distributions for 120 of 123 ETFs
Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC announced that it expects to deliver zero long-term capital gains distributions across 120 of 123 equity and fixed-income ETFs for 2012. The three PowerShares ETFs expected to make capital gains distributions this year represent less than 1% of franchise assets, and are expected to see long-term capital gains distributions under 1% of NAV per share. It is the tenth consecutive year that the majority of the firm's ETFs did not deliver capital gains distributions, highlighting their tax efficiency.
The three ETFs with capital gains distributions, and their estimated distribution per share, are: PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio (PBP), $0.13–$0.16; PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio (PLW), $0.001–$0.003; and PowerShares Active Low Duration Fund (PLK), $0.045–$0.075. The ex-date for the 2012 capital gains distributions is anticipated to be Monday, December 24. The record date is anticipated to be Thursday, December 27, and the pay date is anticipated to be Monday, December 31.
4) Vista Equity Partners Completes Acquisition of Taxware
Vista Equity Partners announced it has completed its acquisition of the Taxware business from ADP in an agreement that was announced on Nov. 6. The company will continue to use the Taxware name.
Taxware also announced the appointment of Andy Hovancik as the new CEO. For more than 21 years, he has served a variety of software and technology companies in leadership positions. Most recently he was president and COO at Solarsoft Business Systems. Taxware will also be led by executives currently within the company, including Ken Zemba as chief technical officer, as well as new members including software executives Kevin Shone as chief financial officer and Matt Grill as chief operating officer.

Who are the Latino celebs who are prime examples of what it means to be out and proud? These ones! Here are the faces of LGBT pride in the Latino community. How do you show your pride?
MORE: Six Latino LGBT pride performance!
1. Dan Bucatinsky
Dan Bucatinsky:
CAME OUT: Scandal and Marry Me actor Dan Bucatinsky had a difficult time coming out in Hollywood, as he thought it would negatively impact his career. He finally embraced his sexuality after the release of his film All Over The Guy in 2001.
WHY WE LOVE HIM: The actor gave an emotional and thoughtful speech about coming out in Hollywood at a Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity's Town Hall meeting in 2014.
"In stripping away the layers of masks that hide our true selves, we become more honest," he said. "More open, more authentic. And I would say — I would dare say — better actors. So there is the rub."
These days, Bucatinsky has fully embraced his sexuality, and has even written a book about the experience of adopting a child as an LGBT couple — Does This Baby Make Me Look Straight? ($12.41, Amazon) He and his husband, Don Roos, have two children together.
2. Coming Out: Patricia Velasquez
Patricia Velasquez
CAME OUT: The Venezuelan actress and supermodel decided to come out in her memoir, Straight Walk: A Supermodel's Journey To Finding Her Truth.
WHY WE LOVE HER: Velasquez admits that her daughter inspired her to write the book and to be true to herself. "It's very difficult to face your past, so I put off doing anything like this for a long time," she told Yahoo! Parenting. "But as my daughter started growing up and I was teaching her to be honest and proud, I knew it was time for me to set an example — and that meant facing my truth.
"For me," she continued. "Living life with truth and honesty is the one thing I want to make sure she understands."
3. LGBT: Patricia Yurena
Patricia Yurena
Came Out: The former Miss Spain recently came out as gay in a super-sweet Instagram post. The beauty queen shared a photo posing intimately with her girlfriend, Spanish DJ Vanesa Klein. "Romeo and Juliet," the caption read.
Why We Love Her: Yurena, who held the title of Miss Spain in both 2008 and 2013, told Spanish press that she came out because it made her happy to be in a relationship with Klein. "I did it, because I am happy about what's going on in my life," she said.
As the first openly gay national beauty queen, Yurena opens the door for other women to be true to themselves. The Spanish beauty shared her enthusiasm over the positive reception of her news with fans. "I published [the photo] quite naturally and impulsively," she wrote. "I appreciate the outpouring of support and even more rejoice in my happiness. Thank you!"
4. LGBT Emily Rios
Emily Rios
Came Out: The Bridge star recently came out as gay in an interview with TCA's FX Day, according to The Huffington Post. The character she plays on the FX show, Adriana Mendez, is also a lesbian. "I'm gay, personally, so being Mexican and a lesbian — this is why I love the character because I deal with the same type of things with my own family," Emily said.
Why we love her: Rios admitted that being a lesbian and Latino is hard, but not for reasons one might expect: "Mexican-Americans especially — because this generation, we come into America and your family wants to be proud. You want to come to this country and say 'This is what I have to show for it. I brought my family and we're living our better life.' For my family, my mom didn't want me to live a difficult life. She brought me here for a better one so she's like 'Your coming out… I don't want this to be this. I want you to be comfortable.'"
She also understands that characters are more than just sexuality, gay or straight, and hopes to depict a rounded character on the show.
"I want it to be an incidental thing, which is what happens in our everyday life," Rios said. "I wanted to make sure the whole lesbian aspect wasn't this whole coming out story and the character wasn't going to be made more flamboyant in any sort of way."
5. Coming Out: Ian Matos
Ian Matos, 24
Came out: Top Brazilian diver Ian Matos spoke publicly about his sexuality for the first time, citing British diver Tom Daley as an inspiration. "From a young age, I knew I was gay," he said. "But it was here that I got to live my sexuality."
Why we love him: Matos, who was the Brazilian 3-meter champion last year, is likely to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil. Although a friend told him to remain in the closet until after the games, Matos stood up for himself and declared that he is out AND proud!
6. LGBT Latino Celebs: Orlando Cruz
Orlando Cruz
Came out: In October 2012, the Puerto Rican professional boxer decided it was time to reveal to the world a little more about himself. "I've been fighting for more than 24 years and as I continue my ascendant career, I want to be true to myself," he told USA Today. The boxer, who declared himself a "proud gay man," recently married his boyfriend Jose Manuel Colon in a ceremony at New York's Central Park.
Why we love him: Although Cruz knew he'd be the first openly gay man in boxing, he wasn't afraid to make history, and remained proud of who he truly is, showing others they shouldn't be afraid either. "I want to try to be the best role model I can be for kids who might look into boxing as a sport and a professional career," he said.
7. LGBT: Michelle Rodriguez
Michelle Rodriguez
Came out: Fans have speculated for years about the Fast and the Furious star's sexuality. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she confirmed that their assumptions of her possibly being gay were very close to the truth. "Eh, they're not too far off," Rodriguez said. "I've gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f--king curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks."
Why we love her: Despite rumors constantly flying, Rodriguez has always kept strong and remained true to who she is. She also recently helped open up the conversation about some of the misconceptions others have about bisexual people and how we can discuss the topic as Latinos.
8. Linda Perry
Linda Perry, 48
Came out: Perry started dating The Talk co-host Sara Gilbert in 2011. In April 2013, they were engaged! The Brazilian songwriter planned a musical picnic to pop the question.
Why we love her: The rock musician looks out for her own. Perry is very involved with the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center and, through its annual event "An Evening with Women," helps provide a safe place and support for LGBT youth.
9. Coming Out: Ricky Martin
Ricky Martin, 40
Came Out: Following years of speculation and avoiding the uncomfortable question about whether or not he was gay, Ricky Martin came out of the closet in March of 2010, declaring on his personal website that he was a fortunate homosexual man.
Why we love him: The Evita star's coming out story has helped make being gay less taboo. "The power of his coming out narrative, in coming out with pride — it's been extraordinary," says Jarrett Barrios, the former President of GLAAD (the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation).
10. Coming Out: Perez Hilton
Perez Hilton, 34
Came Out: You might say he was born out of the closet. Perez has always been out and proud!
Why We Love Him: When gay teens all around the country started taking their own lives after being bullied in school, Perez changed the way he wrote about celebrities on his popular website, PerezHilton.com and toned down the bullying. The "Queen of All Media" continues publishing videos preaching tolerance.
11. Coming Out: Wilson Cruz
Wilson Cruz, 38
Came Out: When the Puerto Rican actor came out to his parents at 19, his mother was shocked and his father threw him out of the house, forcing Cruz to spend the next few months living in his car. However, Wilson and his father later reconciled.
Why We Love Him: Wilson was playing an out and proud character on TV (Rickie Vazquez on My So-Called Life) at a time when there were no other gay Latino characters on TV. There are more gay characters on TV today because of him.
12. Coming Out: Mondo Guerra
Mondo Guerra, 34
Came Out: The Mexican-American designer was already openly gay when he appeared on the 8th season of Lifetime's Project Runway, but on the show, Mondo came out as HIV Positive (he had been keeping it a secret for 10 years).
Why We Love Him: Mondo is a gay rights advocate who speaks openly about gay rights and HIV/AIDS.
13. Coming Out: Christian Chavez
Christian Chavez, 28
Came Out: In 2007, the RBD singer revealed that he was gay and said that he had not been open about his sexuality out of fear of rejection, of criticism, and especially because of his family and the consequences that being gay would bring.
Why We Love Him: Chavez's story of self-acceptance is one that many gay youths can relate to.
14. Coming Out: Vicci Martinez
Vicci Martinez, 27
Came Out: The Tacoma, Washington native came out to her religious parents as a teenager. Even though it wasn't the easiest thing to do, Vicci says she has no regrets about it. "It was hard for me coming out to my parents," says Martinez, who adds that she'll never again hide who she is. "I've already gone through that hurdle and I'm not going to go through it again. I've had people say, 'Well, why don't you just keep them guessing? You can hit all the markets.' No. Especially if you're with somebody; it's so disrespectful," she says.
Why We Love Her: The girl's a rock star—not just because she can jam out to songs like Florence and the Machine's "Dog Days Are Over" and Adele's "Rolling in the Deep"—but also because she's got the guts to live life by her own definition.

Boy charged in Detroit with street artist's death
DETROIT (AP) — A 14-year-old boy was charged Thursday with first-degree murder and armed robbery in the fatal shooting of a French street artist whose body was discovered a year ago near an abandoned Detroit public housing project.
The boy was 13 at the time of the killing of 23-year-old Bilal Berreni. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement that the boy and three other then-teenagers carried out the attack.
Dionte Travis, 17; Jasin Curtis, 18; and Drequone Rich, 20, were arraigned Wednesday on first-degree murder and armed robbery charges. They return to court Sept. 11 for a probable cause hearing.
On Thursday, the 14-year-old had his first court appearance in the case.
"I'm being charged as an adult?" the boy asked juvenile court referee Anthony Crutchfield at Thursday's hearing, according to The Detroit News.
"My son is innocent," his mother told Crutchfield. She said her son is a special education student and has a low IQ.
The referee ordered the boy detained until his next appearance Sept. 11.
The youngest defendant is designated as an adult in the juvenile court system, Worthy said. If he's convicted, a judge could sentence him as a juvenile, an adult or a juvenile for a period, then an adult.
Prosecutors aren't naming him because of his age, and The Associated Press generally doesn't name juveniles accused of crimes. The AP is naming Travis because he was charged as an adult.
Prosecutors said they didn't know if the 14-year-old has a lawyer. Lawyers for Curtis and Travis declined comment Thursday, while Rich didn't have a lawyer on record Thursday.
Berreni, a Paris native, was found with a gunshot wound to the face on July 29, 2013, outside the Frederick Douglass Homes. No identification was on his body, and it was seven months before Michigan State Police identified him, using fingerprints.
Berreni began painting on walls in his neighborhood at age 15, according to French media reports. He later graduated from an applied arts school, then left to pursue his work around the world. He signed his work under the name the Zoo Project, gaining attention in 2011 through work in Tunisia in which he made life-size pictures of people killed in unrest in that North African nation.
He visited Detroit in 2012 and again in 2013. His father said he occasionally may have lived as a squatter in vacant structures.

In case you're wondering what's a "correctly hashed" directory for the use with cainfo: it's simply a directory which contains CA public certificates in PEM/X.509 format. You can get such certificates either from the CA's website (they advertise it in visible places) or from your browser. In Explorer for instance you can click on the little yellow padlock, go to the CA entry and export it.
The only trick with the directory is that file names must be in the form "hash.#". The "hash" part is the 8-digit hex hash of the certificate, while the # part is a number which serves to differentiate certificates which give the same hash (yes, it can happen with certificates coming from the same CA). Usually # is 0, but you also can use 1, 2 and so on when having more certs with the same hash.
In order to obtain the hash of a certificate you can use the openssl command line utility like this:
openssl x509 -hash -in certfile.cer | head -1

by Elizabeth SheanAs I write this, I can hear Mom laughing. It's a delightful sound, and one that sadly occurs less and less frequently as Mom's dementia progresses. Mom is laughing because my sister, Jan, who is visiting from Colorado for the week, is regaling her with amusing stories from Christmases when we were kids. Mom has forgotten many of these incidents, even though they are firmly entrenched in the family lore. As Jan recounts each episode, Mom hears it as if for the first time and relishes each word.With Mom under Jan's watchful eye, I am enjoying a few moments of solitude. It's a good time to look ahead to what 2017 might hold.If you've been reading this blog for the past few months, you are aware 2016 has been a tragic year for Mom and me. My husband died unexpectedly in April. My mom's physical health, which had always been robust, has degenerated into high blood pressure and severe leg weakness that leaves her prone to tripping and falling. The progression of her dementia has accelerated, and I can almost see her brain cells being erased each day. I have lost my husband, and it appears I now am losing my mom. In a way, it all feels like too much to cope with.And yet I remain optimistic as I look forward. I have successfully navigated nearly nine months of bereavement without falling apart. In fact, I'm feeling stronger all the time. I see a thousand reasons each day to be thankful for my existence, and I see a future that looks brighter with each step I take toward it.
I am excited about my upcoming move back to Albuquerque. I've never bought a house all on my own. I feel a sense of adventure about it. Every day I scroll through the new listings on a real estate website. I aim to find a home where I can live out my days, and when viewing each listing I ask if I can picture myself rattling around in that house when I'm 80. Caring for Mom (and, earlier, my dad) has given me a new perspective on how to evaluate a prospective home for my needs in advanced age. In that respect, certainly, being a caregiver has been a valuable experience.When Mom looks ahead at 2017, she feels a sense of uncertainty. At her age, uncertainty is not adventure, it's anxiety. She worries about whether or not she'll be able to find decent doctors—and a wonderful CAREGiversm to take Anita's place. True, finding another Anita will be challenging. But I have no doubt the Home Instead Senior Care® franchise in Albuquerque will match us with another exceptional individual to provide Mom's care.Mom and I both look forward to being back in the Rocky Mountains, closer to Jan. She will now be within driving distance, so we can visit more often. She will happily drive down to provide me with abundant periods of respite. That will be a blessing, for sure.Yes, I am looking forward to the new year. A fresh start. It's just what we need to wash away the bad taste left by the past months. Welcome, 2017.

An unsecured personal loan is a loan issued by a financial institution like a bank, online lender, or credit union. Unlike most types of financing, unsecured financing does not require you to put up collateral like your home or car. Personal loans range from $1,000 up to $100,000 and are repaid fixed monthly payments. The rates and terms will be determined by the lender and is based on your credit as well as a multitude of other factors, so it is important to shop around before committing to a lender.
Individual lenders set their own borrower requirements and standards. Almost all online lenders use some type of alternative data to determine borrower risk (ex. educational status, income status, credit score, etc.) Typically online lenders only accept borrowers who are adult U.S. citizens with a social security number or permanent residence. They also typically only accept borrowers with a steady income and a minimum of fair credit history.

i recently saw Three Kings and i've known BN for some months now...
when i saw BN i was really amazed, he's a really talented actor, don't you think? i was sitting in front of my tv, thinking, "this man is incredible", that was everything i could think of, during the whole movie *g*
he totally prooved his talent during that scene with his mother, when he leaves and he tells her that she never believed in his talent and she don't know what he can do. when he almost starts crying (or is he crying,don't remember), that was one point when i was totally speechless.
(that's my opinion)
just love this guy!!
Three Kings is really really good, too!! in my opinion he prooved what he can do as an actor during that scene where they're giving him electronic-shocks (is it called so? i'm not from the states). when he talks about his daughter and so on... serious + lovely
c u on the road... kiddo

That's my opinion as well. This is him at his best acting-wise. I think that this movie made all the people that thought negative things about him for his bad boy history stand up and applaud! Plus it was a great cast, John C, Julieanne Moore and who could forget Burt 'Toupee' Reynolds, it's classic!

OOOooo I love this movie! It was when I first became a marky mark fan, I think this movie depends on what kind of humor you have. Some people I know thought It was offending, I thought it was hilarious. Especially the recording studio part. But the whole movie was just great the way it had all the different stories and let us into each character. Paul Thomas Anderson is a great director/writer. I think that had a lot to do with it, also the great cast. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is ****ing hilarious..I dont know, its just one of my fave movies,I recommend getting the platinum series dvd.
Theres a cast commentary track and marks on it of course, although he doesnt want to be there, but one funny thing. Dont ever throw a marshmallow at John C. Reilly!
Ew, and towards the end, where the very special scene is mark tells this really disgusting story that made me sick...just watch, I think he was lying..he had to be lying..if not, I feel bad for him and I feel bad for the girl too.....

A hard-fought election campaign in which billions of dollars were spent brought us to exactly where we started – with President Obama in the White House and a divided Congress, and now a lame-duck session that carries the weighty responsibility of shepherding the nation past the fiscal cliff.
So says Andy Friedman, political analyst with The Washington Update and a regular on the advisor lecture circuit, in a post-election commentary about the strangely familiar political landscape and the effect investors can expect in financial markets.
Friedman said, "Presidents spend their first terms worried about getting re-elected. They spend their second terms worrying about their legacy."
That legacy depends heavily on the massive federal budget deficit, a problem that he says cannot be solved without reforming Social Security, Medicare and the tax code. It remains to be seen whether the president will follow through on a statement he made last month that he would address the deficit early in his second term.
There will be no respite for legislators in the balance of this year, as the expiration of Bush-era tax cuts and severe spending cuts mandated by Congress last year are scheduled to take effect in 2013, a combined fiscal jolt that is widely projected to throw the economy back into recession.
Friedman notes the straitjacket-like circumstances of the next couple of months. Politicians on both sides of the aisle want to avert this fiscal cliff, but Standard & Poor's and Moody's have warned they will downgrade U.S. debt if the nation does not adopt budgetary discipline.
That's where the political jockeying comes in. "If Congress passes a bill that extends the Bush tax cuts for all Americans, will Obama veto that bill because included is an extension of the tax cuts for the wealthy?" His advisors have signaled he would, Friedman says. If that is the case, then Republicans will have difficulty. If they take no action in the lame-duck session, the Bush-era tax cuts they support will expire; a compromise that would allow taxes to rise for the wealthiest Americans would run afoul of their core principle that only a simplified tax system promotes efficiency and growth.
Friedman expects the Republicans to request an extension of the Bush tax cuts till Congress can enact broad reform next year and he foresees the president rejecting that request, preferring to enact any changes in the law after tax increases take effect next year.
"Regardless of what happens with the Bush tax cuts, we already know taxes will increase in 2013," Friedman writes, looking beyond the lame duck session. That is because two new taxes enacted as part of Obamacare and legally vetted in the Supreme Court's decision upholding the controversial legislation will take effect in January: a compensation income tax of 0.9%and an additional tax of 3.8%on interest, dividends, capital gains, rents and royalties for families with income over $250,000.
The increased taxes on investment income, capital gains in particular, could prompt further stock market sell-offs as investors seek to lock in their gains before the new tax regime takes effect.

|Southern Living Off the Eaten Path: Favorite Southern Dives and 150 Recipes that Made Them Famous
"If you truly want to learn a place, eat the food of its people."
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!
Being a fan of all things diner and off the path eateries, I was thrilled to be asked if I would give the brand new Southern Living Off the Eaten Path (Favorite Southern Dives and 150 Recipes That Made Them Famous) book a review. There are indeed recipes in Southern Living Off the Eaten Path, 150 of them in fact, but, this book is much more than that.
Written by humorist, noted food critic and former travel editor for Southern Living, with a foreword by Southern novelist Fannie Flagg, Morgan Murphy takes us on a literal adventure, state by state, from the Deep South to the Old South to the Border States, you'll get a bite of some of Murphy's favorite eateries along the way.
For each state we visit, Murphy offers a "Best Drive" feature - a little snippet showcasing an area that gives us some of the character of that state, and even gives us an idea of the length of travel. In Mississippi that's 444 miles of the gorgeous Natchez Trace.
|Houston, Texas - Goode Co. Seafood - Campechana De Mariscos (Mexican Seafood Cocktail)
If there's a gawk-worthy, kitschy roadside attraction in the area, like the UFO House in Pensacola, Florida, or the legendary Crossroads Memorial at the corners of Highways 49 and 161 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, it's featured.
|Atlanta Georgia - Antica Posta - Farfalle All'Aragosta (Bow-tie pasta with white wine & lobster)
And of course, there are the recipes! Bacon Infused Cocktails from Benton's in Madisonville, Tennessee, BLT Hash Browns from Lynn's Paradise Cafe in Louisville, Crab and Shrimp Cakes from Whitey's Fish Camp in Orange Park, Florida, Country Smothered Pork Chops from The Dinner Bell in McComb, Mississippi.
|Louisville Kentucky - Lynn's Paradise Cafe - Pecan Chicken in Woodford Reserve Maple Cream Sauce
|Henderson, Louisiana - Pat's Fisherman's Wharf - Snapper Patrick
Morgan Murphy has written for Forbes, Vanity Fair, and Harper's Bazaar. His diverse background includes an M.B.A. from the University of Oxford and a love of vintage American cars, a passion that led to the launch of the world's first online social network for classic car enthusiasts, Motorpool.com. Murphy resides in Mountain Brook, Alabama.

While France's most famous actor, Gerard Depardieu, is now the latest in a wave of tax refugees to flee the country before a new wealth tax kicks in in 2013, new data from the U.S. Census Bureau suggests that ordinary Americans with average incomes continue to flee high-tax states like California for low-tax states like Texas.
Reports say that Depardieu was likely motivated by tax avoidance considerations in moving to a small town in Belgium adjacent the French border city of Lille. The move comes after French luxury magnate Bernard Arnault made a similar cross-border move.
Depardieu was famous for representing the French "everyman" so it is no surprise his moving has set off both introspection and fury among your average Jacques.
Meanwhile, your average American Joe, with far less in earnings than French millionaires and billionaires, continues his migration from places like New York and California.
The Census Bureau reports that the most common state to state moves in 2011 were New York to Florida (59,288), California to Texas (58,992) and California to Arizona (49,635).
Notably, the Census Bureau data shows that job-related factors such as a new job or transfer were most commonly cited reason for moving among the top two income categories ($85,000 to $99,999 and $100,000 and above).
A comprehensive recent study of a two-decades long exodus from California conducted by the Manhattan Institute made the link between migration and the tax and jobs climate of California explicit, saying:
"The data … reveal the motives that drive individuals and businesses to leave California. One of these, of course, is work. States with low unemployment rates, such as Texas, are drawing people from California, whose rate is above the national average. Taxation also appears to be a factor, especially as it contributes to the business climate and, in turn, jobs. Most of the destination states favored by Californians have lower taxes. States that have gained the most at California's expense are rated as having better business climates. The data suggest that many cost drivers–taxes, regulations, the high price of housing and commercial real estate, costly electricity, union power, and high labor costs–are prompting businesses to locate outside California, thus helping to drive the exodus."
Mark Perry's U-Haul Index, tracking the number of one-way truck rentals, has also confirmed a pattern of ordinary people moving in the direction of lower taxes, the American Enterprise Institute economist maintains.
Perry's U-Haul Index may become increasingly important to economists, demographers and other researchers if the IRS and Census Bureau go forward with a reported plan to discontinue monitoring tax migration data. National Review reported Tuesday that the Obama administration is "quietly killing" continued studies of this metric, for which the government has compiled data since 1991.
The politically conservative publication opines that "blue states with high state and local tax burdens have come out looking bad in recent years. California and New York have been embarrassed publicly, as a steady exodus is underway from both."
The IRS has not officially explained the move, but "unofficially it is suggesting that the problem lies in coordinating with the Census Bureau," National Review continues. "It is asking for comments on how people use the data and how important it is, presumably so that higher-ups at the agencies can reverse their decision if necessary."

Priests navigate 'the digital continent'
With its blessings and pitfalls, social media offers another way for clergy to bring Christ to the world
by Susan Klemond, OSV Newsweekly
As Facebook turns 10 this month (the social media giant officially was founded Feb. 4, 2004), priests who maintain a strong presence on the network say it is a vital tool for evangelization.
Using both personal and ministry accounts, priests regularly reach out to thousands of Facebook friends — including some they haven't met in person — with the Good News in the form of articles, photos and videos. But social media evangelization, while beneficial, brings with it its own challenges and responsibilities for clergy.
An online presence
With the overwhelming popularity of social media in our digital world — especially among young people — it only makes sense that priests would join the fold.
"The Church has asked us to step out on the digital continent and to have a presence there," said Oblate of the Virgin Mary Father Jeremy Paulin, vocation director and provincial councilor for the oblates in Boston. "The way technology has expanded so dramatically in recent years, there are people who perhaps that's the only way to reach them in our time."
Father Mike Schmitz, director of Newman Catholic Campus Ministries and chaplain at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, agreed that social media makes it possible to reach many people with the Gospel.
"Years ago you would have to be Mother Angelica to start your own TV channel or TV show," he said. "Now, all you have to do is sign up for an account and you can start bringing the truth and the love of Christ through these other social media outlets."
While some priests are on Twitter, most find Facebook to be more effective. Along with sharing the Gospel, they can also stay in touch with family and friends, create a dialogue and better understand public opinion.
Father Michael O'Loughlin, pastor of Holy Protection of the Mother of God Byzantine Catholic Church in Denver, has friends who aren't practicing Catholics, yet he hopes that he can use Facebook to evangelize to reach them.
"I'm not approaching them directly as a priest who wants to lead someone to Christ but indirectly," he said. "They shouldn't feel offended or attacked because my posts are going to everybody. They're seeing that not as something that is directed at them. If the Holy Spirit wants to, he can direct it at them."
Potential dangers
Because of the increasing number of clergy active on social media sites, many dioceses have developed guidelines that give the dos and don'ts of online behavior.
|Priests Online
Many priests use social media to share the light of the Gospel with the world. Here are three of the most popular:
Father Robert Barron
The founder of Word on Fire ministriesuses his Facebook page to post images of saints, videos, links to his blog, articles and photos.
Jesuit Father James Martin
Father Martin, an editor at America magazine, sets the tone for a personal community on Facebook while posting news stories, photos and other nuggets of faith.
Jesuit Father Mitch Pacwa
President and founder of Ignatius Productions, Father Pacwa uses Facebook to promote content, speaking appearances, saints and feast dates.
Seminaries, too, instruct future priests about online image and behavior. At Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg, Md., for example, seminarians take a course on the "priest as a public person," in which a priest's online presence and the need for a paper trail are discussed, said Father Kenneth Brighenti, vice rector for pastoral formation.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops also has its own "Social Media Guidelines," in which the bishops state, "The Church can use social media to encourage respect, dialogue and honest relationships — in other words, 'true friendship.'"
It must be approached as a "powerful means of evangelization," and the Church's role in providing a Christian perspective on digital literacy must be considered, the guidelines say.
Because social media sites are public, priests need to be careful about what they post, how they respond to others and how others respond to them, Father Paulin said. Priests could be exploited, or spend too much time on social media, or post something that doesn't properly reflect the Faith. Personal social media sites of priests and other Church personnel, the U.S. bishops state, should reflect Catholic values.
"Church personnel should be encouraged to understand that they are witnessing to the Faith through all of their social networking, whether 'public' or 'private,'" the guidelines state. These guidelines are a synthesis of best practices, which, except for where they pertain to civil law, are not binding on dioceses.
In California, the Diocese of San Bernardino's social media guidelines are not meant to discourage priests from using the outlets, said John Andrews, diocesan spokesperson.
Rather, the goal is to avoid priests posting teaching that is not in line with the Faith, or posting too much personal information. Or to, of course, avoid lying, gossiping, bullying, stalking or using inappropriate language.
Father Schmitz said he tries to promote intelligent discussion, but if responses become rude or disruptive, he deletes them.
Father Andrew Vogel of the Diocese of Winona, Minn., said his diocese doesn't discourage priests from using social media and other means to spread the Gospel.
"But at the same time there are a lot of checks and guidelines in place to protect the children and those who may be vulnerable based on things that have happened in the past that we need to be well aware of," he said.
While following guidelines is important, priests noted that prudence also guides social media behavior.
Father Schmitz said priests who want to use social media should know what they want to do and why.
Concern about minors
In its Information and Communication Technology guidelines, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia directs that adult leaders, including priests, who communicate with minors about their ministry through Facebook or other social-networking sites "should create a separate account and/or group for this specific use whenever possible."
The guidelines also direct that "written permission from a parent/guardian should be obtained prior to a minor's participation on a social-networking site, such as Facebook, sponsored by a parish organization. Minors should not be given access to the private or personal postings of an adult. All interactions should reflect the ministerial/professional role of the adult."
Meeting where they are
While Father O'Loughlin participates in social media, his main goal is to encourage his friends to get off the social media network and to meet in person at the parish. Through his posts, he shares the times, dates and locations of parish events.
He senses a need for real social contact among frequent social media users, he said.
"If they're spending too much time on social media, there's an inherent loneliness," he added. "One of the ways that we can be the Church, and individual priests can be encouraging throughout the world, is to use social media to get people off social media."
But for the millions of people not abandoning the virtual world, social media offers a different way to be "a light to the nations."
"If social media is a place where people are, then we'd want to be there, too," said Father Melancon. "Our mission is hearts and bringing the Gospel to them. We do that any place where hearts are found."
Susan Klemond writes from Minnesota.
