It’s been an unbe- league, looking ahead… it’s humvaliant effort by the Atlanta Falcons, the legendary tight end’s last game goes down in the books as a loss as the Carolina Panthers held on tightly for a 21-20 win ending the 2013 season and closing the book on Gonzalez’s storied 17-year career. Tony Gonzalez will go down in history as the most decorated, most mobile and athletic player to line up as tight end. Second all time in NFL history in career catches to only Jerry Rice the Falcons tight end rewrote the book on not only how to play the position h also redefined it. Before Gonzalez a tight end pretty much was an additional blocker who would on occasion catch passes. That is now forever changed. In fact Gonzalez was a game changer, safety blanket and team leader. “It was great. Honestly, it went exactly as I thought it would go, except the winning part. We weren’t able to pull it out. The pre-game, during the game; I’m so flattered and so thankful that I’ve been able to be a part of this organization for the last five years, and obviously the 12 years before that in Kansas City. My career it’s
like Tony Richardson, Jason Dunn, Trent Green. The list goes on and on. The coaches, Coach Vermeil, Coach Shottenheimer, when I first came in, and to end it with these guys, Roddy (White), Matt (Ryan) and Coach Smith and Thomas Dimitroff bringing me over here. I look back at myself and I say; what did I do to deserve this? Somebody pinch me because it’s been a blast. It’s like a dream and I’m thankful for it,” said Gonzalez.
I’ve been working the Falcons beat since the 2000 season. I’ve been a fan since the days of Norm Van Brocklin (thus showing my age). I am probably the original pro football junkie having literally grown up watching and playing the game. My dad was rumored to be on the New York Giants taxi squad in the early ‘50s and he knew everyone in the league. It wasn’t as big a deal then as it is now. I remember him telling me about bringing me to meet Joe Namath when I was a toddler. Broadway Joe told him I had “hands of a quarterback” – supposedly. When we moved to Chattanooga, TN my dad would take me to the games and offer to bring me into the Atlanta Falcons locker room and meet his pal Dick lievable ride. It’s amazing. I’m still bling.

two teams come together to shake hands and share admiration Gonzalez probably shakes more hands, pats on the back and hugs than most players involved.
Fast forward to the off-season after the surprising 2008 Falcons who went from last place in the 2007 draft to an 11-win season under rookie head coach Mike Smith and rookie third overall pick in the draft Matt Ryan. Both Roddy White and Michael Jenkins blossomed as dangerous receivers that year but something was missing. The team was young and a little unstable at times in the passing game. Atlanta took care of that by trading for Gonzalez who was blazing unheard of trails as a tight end but was stuck on a perennial loser. This might be Tony’s chance to finally get a ring and provide some maturity to help the young quarterback.
And despite all this good will towards Gonzalez watching him play is a deeply religious experience. Hands of glue, in traffic, double-teamed, across the middle, along the sideline, jumping high in the air pulling down passes out of thin air. And then there was his trademark dunk over the goalpost when he scored. Gonzalez added to the Falcons what was truly needed, leadership, physicality and inspiration.
Since joining the Falcons beginning with the 2009 season Gonzalez became Matt Ryan’s safety net. Tony was like the big older uncle who was able to clear up any confusion and make things better. Until this unfortunate season the Falcons for the first time not only had back-to-back winning seasons they had five in a row until injuries depleted the ranks early this season. If a catch needed to be made Gonzalez found the ball or the ball found him. With the big tight end on the roster Matt Ryan’s maturity as a passer and team leader grew with each passing game. And now after six seasons Ryan is already the franchise’s leader in passing yards and touchdowns.
This was to be “Tony’s Year” after falling ten yards shourt of the Super Bowl last season. Things did not work out. They fell apart. Too many injuries all at one time and acquisitions acquired to fill holes did not pan out. It was obvious by midseason that the Falcons were no way headed to the playoffs. Did Gonzalez grumble? No, he played harder. Despite rumors of him being traded to a contender he dismissed them and said he wanted to finish up here.
“I can’t thank Tony Gonzalez enough for what he has brought to the Atlanta Falcons organization. He has been a great teammate, a great player and a great mentor to a lot of men that are going to play the game moving forward. There are a lot of lessons you can learn from Tony Gonzalez just by watching him. It has been a pleasure and an honor to have the opportunity to coach, in my opinion, the greatTony Gonzalez during his career est tight end to every play the exemplified everything that is good game,” said Falcons coach Mike about pro football and set stan- Smith. dards well above everyone around him.

MONEY MANAGEMENT
ALL ABOUT THE EARNED INCOME CREDIT LIMITATIONS, AMOUNTS, AND THRESHOLDS The Earned Income Credit also known as the EIC credit is an amazing federal tax credit for the public. The credit is income based and helps low and medium income families out tremendously. The credit is a strategic economic move from the government to motivate the American people to work. The credit is only for EARNED income which means the tax payer with dependents must have income from a job or self employment in order to receive the credit. Unemployment or any other UNEARNED income does not count for this credit. Therefore, the credit was put in motion to encourage working. The EIC credit has thresholds and maximums, limitations, and is strategic to our
countries economy. The EIC has thresholds and maximums. If one has no kids then the earned income credit can be received if that person makes less than $14,340 (Joint $19,680). The maximum credit refundable is $487. If one has one dependent (under 17 years old) then they must make less than $37,870 (Joint $43,210). The maximum credit for them would be $3,250. One with two dependents that make less than $43,038 (Joint $48,378) would receive a maximum of $5,372. One with three or more dependents and make less than threshold $46,227 (Joint $51,567) would receive a maximum of $6,044. The amount that is given depends on your earned income. Think of the amount given as a bell

shaped curve. The less you make the less you get. Then the maximum is received around the median, then the amount decreases as you get towards the threshold amount.
you cannot be a qualifying child of somebody else a.k.a. nobody can claim you.
The EIC credit has a few limitations. First, you must be either Married filing Joint (MFJ), Head of Household (HOH), Qualifying Widow, or Single. You may not get the credit if you are Married filing single. The IRS discourages MFS for economic reasons. Second, dependents must be under 18 (17 in tax year) or be a full time student up to 24 years old. Third, household members must have a valid social security number. Fourth, you must be a U.S. citizen. Fifth, you must have earned income. Last,
The strategic economics of the EIC credit. The reason (besides motivating work) for the EIC credit is it helps low to medium income families. It gives them a huge tax break and pretty much always results in a refund. The EIC credit is a economic strategy that promotes the U.S. economy. The economy not only flourishes with the money that the tax payer spends, but also promotes work which boosts the economy.

Much Ado About Nothing
When we all look back on 2013, I’m sure we’ll remember it as the year Phil Robertson was wrongfully suspended from “Duck Dynasty” for just speaking his mind in that GQ interview. (Among other things, Robertson equated homosexuality with bestiality.) But seriously, folks, the amount of attention people pay to insignificant events has become simply mindnumbing. I’m not a fan of the “reality television” show about the long-bearded duck call millionaires, but a lot of people must be. The bayou-based show is the strongest ratings performer on the A&E net-
work. The “DD” Christmas special drew over nine million viewers, but legions of fans are threatening to boycott A&E to protest the net’s suspension of the show’s patriarch... ...Politicians are tossing in their (often ill-informed) opinions on the matter. Facebook, Twitter and other social media have been swamped with posts and tweets about the controversy. It’s truly a sad commentary on what really matters to people these days. “One of the first thing you have to conclude about this story is how ridiculous our political discourse in
this country has become,” says Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television & Popular Culture at Syracuse University…
…There is obviously some precedent to A&E’s decision. MSNBC cancelled Alec Baldwin’s short-lived primetime talk show after his use of gay slurs. (Why the network awarded a talk show to such a deluded nutjob is another matter entirely.) The Food Network ended its longstanding relationship with celebrity chef Paula Deen after her racist comments were made public. But the backlash against A&E’s decision has been huge. Cracker Barrel Country Stores briefly pulled “Duck Dynasty” merchandise from its stores’ shelves, but reversed that decision after being swamped with protests on social media… …In a sense, we can blame all of this on the 2007-8 Writers Guild of America strike. When the film, television and radio writers’ union halted work in an effort to gain more compensation in comparison to studio profits, “reality television” shows took off. The

industry term for such programming is “unscripted programming,” despite the fact that virtually all of these shows steer the “stars” into situations and discussions designed to create (relatively) interesting dialogue. It is exponentially cheaper for networks to churn out a seemingly endless array of unscripted series than it is to pay writers, actors, set designers, prop folks, etc. to work on more traditional dramas and comedies. And reality “stars” don’t get residuals… …I tried to explain “Duck Dynasty” to my father, who has never watched it… and probably never will. “It’s kind of like the Beverly Hillbillies,” I said, “if the Clampetts had never moved to Beverly.” (Sorry if that ancient pop culture reference makes no sense to our younger readers.) Lots of people enjoy “rags to riches” stories, I guess. I don’t get the immense popularity of the Louisiana duck call magnates, but I’m not really in the “Duck Dynasty” target demographic.

Dear Rocco, I love my wife, but she can’t cook to save her life. Her idea of cooking involves turning the burner on high and leaving a piece of meat in there until it resembles leather and is just as tough.

OKLAHOMA - An Oklahoma resident was dreaming of a green Christmas but ended up spending a bit of time behind bars after a special task force in Pottawatomie County found $600,000 worth of marijuana stashed in his mobile home. Authorities say 48-year-old Floyd Wren showed up in the middle of the sting operation and told deputies it was simply a misunderstanding. Apparently Floyd never learned that simply denying everything only works on women. He allegedly admitted to being a “bad Santa” and growing the weed for Christmas presents. In fact, Wren said he had been out delivering the merry marijuana and had just come back to restock. The Pottawatomie County Sheriff said, “My deputies said he was the ‘Green Santa.’ He was out delivering marijuana Christmas gifts.” Wren was arrested and charged with cultivation, possession and distribution of marijuana.
The task force also seized guns and hundreds of dollars in cash. Authorities say they plan to burn the weed to make sure all of it is destroyed. Most likely in thousands of small, individual fires.

STEVE-O
STEVE-O (A.K.A. STEPHEN GLOVER) HAS BECOME A HOUSEHOLD NAME AND IT ALL STARTED WHEN HE SNATCHED A VIDEO CAMERA FROM HIS FATHER'S CLOSET WHEN HE WAS FIFTEEN YEARS OLD. FROM THERE HE STARTED PRODUCING HOMEMADE SKATEBOARDING VIDEOS FEATURING DANGEROUS STUNTS MIXED WITH COMICAL BEHAVIOR. EVENTUALLY, STEVE-O'S VIDEOS MADE IT INTO THE HANDS OF JEFF TREMAINE (JACKASS CREATOR/DIRECTOR/PRODUCER) WHO WAS WORKING WITH JOHNNY KNOXVILLE TO CREATE A STUNT BASED REALITY SHOW. THE REST IS HISTORY. MTV AIRED THE FIRST SEASON OF JACKASS IN 2000. IN 2001, STEVE-O LAUNCHED HIS OWN "STEVE-O DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME TOUR", ESTABLISHING HIMSELF AS AN ACCOMPLISHED STAGE PERFORMER, AT VENUES THROUGHOUT THE U.S. AND IN A DOZEN COUNTRIES.

Like Corpses Normally: Wierd things happen to families while attempting to get along with the loss of a member. In 2010, a lady was travelling with her little girl from Berlin to Manchester. There was a third traveler with her on this voyage which was her 91-year old dead spouse, Terse Willi Jarant. Jarant was bound to a wheelchair; when asked of her spouse's dozy silence, she informed them that he was an Alzheimer patient under medication. She additionally covered Jarant's eyes with sunglasses, telling them that he was suffering an eye contamination. However, When the officials tried to look at Mr. Jarant, his body was cold. On further examination, they figured out that Jarant was dead. The family has contrived the whole fake plot to evade corpse transportation expenses. 5) Pigeons: Australia has an exceptionally strict approach against animal smuggling. The guilty party could be sentenced up to 16 years in jail and a huge fine. In 2009, an Australian man made an attempt of animal smuggling.

DO WE REALLY NEED A BIG GOVERNMENT IN THE USA? Many folks in different parts of the country see this question, the title of this article, differently. Some believe that we do in fact need a big government because we have a big country and we need the government to help us and take care of us. Others see a big bloated bureaucracy that needs a diet, consumes and borrows vast resources and runs so inefficiently they can't imagine anyone agreeing to feed it anymore taxpayers money, not yours, mine or theirs. Let's talk. The other day, someone who thinks the Tea Party is a bunch of radicals, mostly because our media has maligned the Tea Party explained to me that a big efficient government is the way to go. I disagree actually, mostly due to issues of economics, freedom, liberty, longevity, and cost - and of course, in hindsight of history abroad and in the US.
Feeding a monstrosity and growing blob of bureaucracy like that through tax dollars money stolen from the individual and re-diverted after the wasteful process (35-45% of tax revenues are burned up in the administration of those monies in the US) is unwise. No one should be so na誰ve to believe such methodologies and anti-Six Sigma strategies are feasible long-term or the remote bit "sustainable" I guess is the word you'd prefer used here. Our Federal Government's number one job was to pool the assets of the States for a common defense, our constitution proclaims a strongstate system - not a heavy handed centralized control Federal Government. Thus, due to inefficiencies, overbearing mindset of our broken Washington DC gravytrain at the taxpayer's expense, we need to shrink the blob of bureaucracy to a manageable place, first proENIGMA
viding the mandated obligations prior to add-ons; and things like ObamaCare in the present period are merely proof positive that things are not working. So, until government gets its act together, we need not have them do more.
Builders. You see, I know we need regulations, some government, standardization, common language, currency, and police, fire, and military amongst other things, but too - I am a believer in the power of free-markets and when left alone without crony-capitalism or mass incestuous manipulation they tend to do quite well in creating abundance in the most efficient manner. Please consider all this and think on it. If you care to debate - contact me and we can continue this dialogue in another article.
If the government cannot get out of its own way - and if it isn't working, then it is not needed. Still, even Ludwig van Misses postulates in his book "Bureaucracy" the need for a government to provide basic standardization and stability - things we all agree to. But if it doesn't or cannot perform, then giving it more good money after bad is a Lance Winslow losing proposition only enjoyed by the Bubble
