Personal and Business Insurance Tax Do's and Don'ts
(New York - WABC, March 10, 2007) - There are many questions around tax time about what type of deductions are available and what kind of income needs to be reported on a tax return. The laws are especially confusing in relation to personal and business insurance. In addition to having an attorney and an accountant, another professional to have is an insurance agent to handle all of your insurance needs.
.KSM and the missing 2nd shoe bomber
In the recent military tribunal hearing on his combatant status, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed owned up to 29 separate acts of terror in which he served, at the very least, as "responsible participant." Some such acts, Sept. 11 for instance, he claimed to have successfully masterminded and executed.
Others he helped plan but, happily, did not manage to pull off. These include schemes to destroy the Sears Tower in Chicago, the New York Stock Exchange and the Panama Canal as well as plots to assassinate Pope John Paul II and Presidents Clinton and Carter.
It is likely that KSM has inflated his role in many of these events, but just as likely that he was at least involved.
The Department of Defense does not edit a word out of 28 of the 29 acts that KSM listed. But one act, No. 3 in KSM's line-up, the DOD originally redacted entirely.

"All I had sitting out was a pair of shorts and a T-shirt," he said. "I was ready for the fast exit."

Can old rockers share the wealth?
To some, heritage rock acts like Rod Stewart, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones are the saviors of the touring industry. They are the cornerstones of the live-music economy because of their appeal to the mammoth and powerful boomer population, lazy record executives and radio programmers out for the easy sell. These acts pack arenas consistently with above-average ticket prices, and they annually top the year- end grosses as the most successful and powerful artists to hit the road.
But others see these rockers as part of a greater problem, one that threatens the very foundation of rock 'n' roll. If you're shelling out $29.50-$95 .
