TIDBITS® EXPLORES SOME OF LIFE’S

CROSSINGSby Patricia L. Cook

Tidbits crosses many paths in researching information for your reading pleasure. This issue will look at some familiar crosses and crossings that we all encounter. • Thefirst typeofcrossingthatcomestomind

for most is a railroad crossing. Many drivers encounter railroad crossings every time they drive. Rail lines are prevalent in North America, which highlights the fact that railroads play a huge part in transporting goods and people across this continent.

•Where railroads exist, crossings also exist.Railroad crossings are intersections where a roadway crosses a railroad at-grade. In the United States, they are referred to as grade crossings. In Canada and many other places, they are called level crossings.

•Asof2005, therewere147,681publicgradecrossingsand94,583privatecrossings in theUnitedStates.Publiccrossingsaremaintainedby a public authority, but private crossings,notintendedforpublicuse,arenot.Theyarefor the use of the owners of the property and usuallyonfarmsorindustrialcomplexes.

•Grade crossings in all countries have alwaysbeen accident-prone areas.When vehicles orpedestrians cross the paths of trains, trains win. The good news is that in recent years, accident rates have gone down.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

Fine-Tune Finances Before Year's End

The quiet week at the end of the year is a good time to review finances and make any needed changes before the New Year.Tax deductions: The trick is to balance payroll deductions with the taxes you'll owe in April so that you come out with nothing due and no refund. If too much money is taken out, you're essentially giving the government an interest-free loan. Instead make the changes to your W-9 form and put that extra money from each paycheck into a savings account.The biggest event that should make you review your deductions is buying a house. You'll get a mortgage interest statement (Form 1098) for the interest you paid, which can

become a deduction on the Schedule A of your tax forms if you itemize. (You'll also be able to claim the property taxes you've paid.) If you can, make a 13th mortgage payment in December to add to the amount of the

mortgage interest. Better savings interest rate: If your emergency fund is safely in place, likely in a savings account, considering putting further savings into a CD or money market account. You'll get a bit more interest, and the money is still easily accessible in case of an emergency.Health Savings Account: If have a high deductible on your medical insurance, investigate putting money into a Health Savings Account. The money you put into an HSA is tax-preferred, which means that it's not taxable when earned. Balances roll over from year to year, and the only stipulation is that it be used to pay medical expenses. "High deductible" is defined as $1,200 for yourself or $2,400 for family coverage for 2011. Go online to irs.gov and look

for IRS Publication 969 for more details about how much you can contribute.If you're self-employed, stock up on the consumables you normally use. Those become a business expense that you can deduct. If you'll likely need a new computer soon, or telephones, consider buying those before the end of the year. If you've planned to make charitable donations, do it now. It's a deduction on the Schedule A if you itemize.Invest in an early copy of the 2011 tax software and run the numbers. This will help you fine tune your year-end strategy.

Houseplants are not just for making your house look pretty. They can help filter the air in your home and rid it of pollutants. Experts recommend one houseplant for every 10 square yards (8.4 m2). Different plants help with different pollutants. Philodendrons and aloe plants help protect against formaldehyde. Gerbera daisies, peace lily and English ivy help with benzene and trichloroethylen. Make sure you place your plants where children and pets won’t be harmed. Some plants may be good for your indoor air but harmful if ingested by pets or children.
