Book review:
The One Man book by Andrew Gross review by Jill Silvius After taking a grad class on Holocaust Literature and forever after hearing the resonances of Theodore Adorno’s “To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric,” I am always hesitant to read a work of fiction about the Holocaust. Will the author tread carefully with his or her historical account? (Adorno’s quote, certainly, must be read in context, and to strip it of that is itself problematic; incredibly simplified, the passage in which the quote is found suggests that to keep on producing monuments of the culture that led to Auschwitz is the equivalent of perpetuating that culture). Nevertheless, I picked up Gross’ historical fiction/thriller with a (somewhat) open mind; the book is based in part on true events, and Gross includes information about his own father-in-law, a bibliography of sources, and an explanation of any changes (such as date alterations) he made. A young Polish man, Nathan Blum, is asked to sneak inside a concentration camp, find another man, Alfred Mendl (a brilliant, aging physicist), who is supremely important to the U.S.’ fight in WWII (although Blum doesn’t know exactly why) but may not even be alive anymore, and to sneak them both out. Things, however, do not go as planned - as they never do in contemporary thrillers. There is an abundance of characters to keep track of, as Blum’s story is accompanied by chapters about the American government’s role in the mission, Mendl’s fellow physicists, the Auschwitz commandant and other sadistic leaders, teenage camp chess champion Leo, German headquarters, etc. But most of the focus is on Blum. The young, wiry soldier is seeking escape from guilt for being the only one of his family to escape round-up in the ghetto. How to gain absolution? He accepts the President’s mission. At this point in the book, the narrative charges ahead at breakneck speed. The book’s structure reminds me of the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries I used to read as a kid; every chapter ends with a cliffhanger. As Blum escapes one predicament, another hurls itself in his way. Repeatedly! Chess master Leo’s eventual role was transparently obvious to me, but Gross ends the book with surprises: The person telling the chapters at the beginning and end of the novel, that sandwich Blum’s riveting tale, may not be the person you think it is. And the people who complete Blum’s mission may not be the ones you expect. And the hero of the story is not a hero at all, but (at least in my opinion) a heroine. It’s not poetry, and it’s not (solely) history. But if the reader keeps that in mind, The One Man is a great read.

Can You Believe It?Niagara Falls Resident Called Police to Stop the Wind From Blowing
NIAGARA FALLS , N.Y., (UPI) -- Loud noise caused by strong winds in Niagara Falls, N.Y., led one resident to seek help from local police in order to get to sleep.
A Niagara Falls police dispatcher informed officers that a resident had called to request police stop the wind from blowing, according to an audio recording obtained by The Action. "All cars be advised, someone called to see if the police could stop the wind from blowing so they could sleep," the dispatcher said. The dispatcher then requested any officers with command over the elements of nature contact dispatch to handle the situation. "If any of you guys could do that, could you let me know?" she asked.
Technology...Americans Have Less Tolerance for Power Outages in a Digital World
(BPT) - A flash of lighting, a loud clap of thunder and BOOM! Suddenly everything goes dark and you know the power in your home is officially out.
Just about everyone has experienced a power outage due to a seasonal storm in their lifetime and it is a trend that continues to grow between super storms and ageing infrastructure. And with more and more homeowners relying on technology to run their homes -- from appliances to utilities to entertainment -- when the power goes out, consumers are more easily frustrated. Cummins, a global leader in backup power solutions, conducted a Harris Poll survey to better understand Americans' intolerance of power outages in today's digital age. Has modern technology and digital homes made people more intolerant of losing their power? The survey polled 2,000 adults and 61 percent reported they feel frustration when the power goes out. In addition, 22 percent said there was nothing fun about a power outage. Of those who reported they could be entertained for some time with no power, 32 percent said it stopped being fun after one to four hours. It's no surprise then that 29 percent of respondents would rather wait in line at the DMV than lose power. The research also shows Americans' tolerance for a power outage is at its lowest during the busiest home periods of the day. Sixty-three percent of respondents said the worst time for a power outage was in the evening (6 p.m. to 10 p.m.). This was followed by the morning when people are getting up and trying to get ready to go to work. When inconvenience turns dangerous In some cases, a power outage is more than just an annoyance, it can also be dangerous and costly. "Winter outages are especially dangerous because people take desperate actions to try and provide the heat they need and that can lead to further problems or injuries," says Natural Disaster Preparedness Expert and Meteorologist Cheryl Nelson. For example, if your power should go out during the winter, you should never look to kerosene heaters, grills, or any other type of outdoor heater to fill the void. These heat sources can pose fire and carbon monoxide risks. In addition to the dangers of winter storm, losing power can mean losing dollars from spoiled food and costs to repair frozen pipes and water damage. Nelson says a safer and reliable solution to avoid losing power all together is to invest in a standby generator. The Cummins QuietConnect line of generators present a dependable, energy-efficient solution that turns on automatically in the event of a power outage, allowing power to seamlessly continue running. You can learn more at powertohomes.com. Power outages increasing While power outages due to weather seem to be a situational event, research from CNN shows power outages across the world have increased 124 percent over the last 20 years. In the United States, the worst winter storm in recent memory occurred in January 2009, when an ice storm spanning across Arkansas and Kentucky left 1.3 million people without power, many for as long as 10 days. Forty-two people died and debris from the storm lingered into the summer. No one knows when another storm like that could appear again, so it's important to be prepared. Because when your world suddenly goes dark, it's good to know there's light at the end and throughout the storm. Personal Finance...Life Changes that Affect Your Taxes
((BPT) - Life changes often mean tax changes. Whether it's getting married, buying or selling a home, moving abroad or having a baby, misunderstanding the tax and financial implications of these life changes can lead to taxpayers making mistakes or leaving money on the table. Depending on your situation, there are new tax implications that will impact your benefits, tax bill and how you file. If you experienced a life change in 2016, here is a list of tax implications and how they will affect you. Marriage Many couples close the book on their "wedding to-dos" once the last thank you card has been sent, but looking at your new tax situation is an important first step in your married life. There are some instances when getting married can have negative implications for a couple's tax situation. Once you're married you must file either as married filing jointly or married filing separately. In some cases, a couple where one spouse earns most of the household income will benefit because their overall tax bracket may decrease. However, a couple with two high earners may find they face a higher tax rate than if each paid tax only on their own income and added the taxes paid. However, there are some ways to protect against potential negative tax implications. After your marriage is official, update your W-4 with your employer to account for your new marital status. If you're self-employed or a small business owner, make sure to adjust your quarterly estimated tax payments. Buying a house Purchasing a home may open the door to more deductions through itemizing if you weren't already doing so. Once you become a homeowner, you can deduct many of your home-related costs, including your qualified home mortgage interest, points paid on a loan secured by your home, real estate taxes and private mortgage insurance premiums paid on or before Dec. 31, 2016. If you choose not to itemize, you may benefit from other tax advantages such as penalty-free IRA withdrawals if you are a first-time homebuyer under the age of 59 and a half, or residential energy credits for purchases of certain energy efficient property. New homebuyers should be on the lookout for Form 1098 Mortgage Interest Statement, which is used to report mortgage interest. This form can help you identify these deductions when completing your Form 1040. Moving abroad Are you excited to move abroad, but have no idea what will happen to your taxes and how to file? Many Americans living and working overseas will not owe tax to the IRS because of the foreign earned income exclusion and foreign tax credit. However, even if you qualify for those benefits, you have to file a U.S. tax return each year if you received income over the normal filing threshold. It is also important to understand your Social Security coverage before moving abroad. Knowing whether your earnings overseas will be subjected to Social Security taxes in the U.S. or the country you are residing in will be an important factor when analyzing the economics of your move. Having a baby A new baby means you may be able to take advantage of tax breaks, including the Child Tax Credit (CTC). The CTC is worth up to $1,000 for each qualifying child younger than 17, a portion of which may be refundable as the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) depending on your income. A tax preparer can help you understand the qualifications to determine whether a child is considered qualified for purposes of the CTC. Some of those qualifications include but are not limited to their relationship and residency. You may also qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) which is a benefit for working people with low to moderate income that reduces the amount of taxes you owe. However, it's important to note that due to the new "Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes ACT" or PATH Act, this year the IRS is required to hold any refund from those claiming the EITC and ACTC until at least Feb. 15. This delay will be widely felt by tax filers who typically file as soon as the IRS accepts e-filed returns and who normally expect to receive their refund by late January. To learn more about this new tax law change, how it may delay tax refunds in January and February, and H&R Block's free solution to this delay, visit www.hrblock.com/refundadvance or make an appointment with a tax professional.
