All eyes on them, Senate leaders seek fiscal deal
An impatient President Barack Obama pressed top lawmakers to cut a deal, even one that falls short of the ambitions he and congressional leaders may once have harbored for a bigger deficit reduction package. Without a resolution, he warned, "every American's paycheck will get a lot smaller."

Reid says fiscal cliff dive likely; blasts Boehner for lacking leadership
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (R): Boehner will be to blame “if we go over the cliff, and it looks like that’s where we’re headed.”
"Nothing can move forward in regards to our budget crisis unless Speaker Boehner and Leader McConnell are willing to participate in coming up with a bipartisan plan,” Reid warned. “Speaker Boehner is unwilling to negotiate, we’ve not heard a word from Leader McConnell, nothing is happening. Democrats can’t put together a plan on their own,” he said.

Majority of Rich Want Themselves Taxed More: Poll

But the survey clearly shows most One Percenters favor taxing themselves. More than half say that they support taxing those making $500,000 or more.

LeBron James says he will never enter the Slam Dunk Contest
James told FOX Sports Florida that, while he has thought seriously several times about entering the dunk contest during All-Star Weekend in his nine previous seasons, it never will occur.
"No," said James, who turns 28 on Dec. 30. "It's over with. I'm getting too old for that. ... There were times when I wanted to do it. But I came into All-Star Weekend a few times banged up and I didn't want to risk further injury."
No Christmas miracle for fiscal cliff. Do not mean to bring bad news on Christmas Day, but has to be discussed and solved for the sake of the American people. ADVICE: Take all you money out of all US stocks! Congress is to blame for this mess.

The greatest threat to our planet is obviously pollution. I saw this video on youtube that actually brings a new look to urban living. "New Urbanism" is a movement by The Congress for the New Urbanism aka "CNU" to promote walkable pedestrian friendly streets in all urban neighborhoods and liveable urban housing. Living in New York City and Philadelphia over the years has been kind of.....well lets just say "cluttered" with very few parks to simply sit and relax and I always have to park my car on the street and usually apartments do not include indoor parking mostly in NYC. Check out this video made by The Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) at CMU.ORG

Contractor and Full-time Jobs Increase at Similar Pace
http://news.dice.com/2012/09/14/contractor-and-full-time-jobs-post-similar-growth-rate/
For anyone who works in Information Technology, this is becoming a problem for all IT professionals like myself. More and more companies of all types are going with hiring "contractors" rather that full timers due to risk in the market for IT. In my opinion, the IT career may not seem like a real job/career since technology becomes more mobile and involves more risk in terms of purchase license software for employees to utilize, and giving certain rights to use equipment and accessing certain sites that involves sensitive information. Companies can face severe penalties and massive lawsuits if not utilize property and puts IT employment in jeopardy. If an individual was working in the field of IT, he/she may want to reconsider alternative career choices.
