The billionaire said that leaving too much money for the children of only negative rather than the positive effects.

And you will not be able to understand that all of a sudden there is money that the desired improvements" - Bill Gates said.

When the oath of office at noon on January 21st (U.S.), Obama will become the first president in the history of this country sworn to four times for the second term.
Obama was sworn in before Judge John Roberts in the Green Room of the White House on yesterday January 20th, 2013.
President Barack Obama was officially sworn in for a second term on Sunday, in a brief ceremony held in the Green Room at the White House. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has presided over the oath as required by the U.S. constitution. According to information from the White House, First Lady Michelle Obama, daughters Sasha and Malia attended this oath.
"He has done," President Obama told the girls after the oath of office.
Obama, in fact this is the third time he was sworn. In celebration of his historic inauguration on January 20th, 2009, Judge Roberts have read upside oath, so Obama must be sworn in the next day.
The inauguration ceremony ever done on 20/1, the first official day of his presidency. But because 20 this year falls on a Sunday, so public inauguration ceremony was held on January 21st.
So when President Obama was sworn in ceremony today, before an estimated 800,000 people flocked to the National Mall national park, it will be Obama's fourth oath.
According to ABC News, President Franklin Roosevelt was also sworn in four times, but because he was elected four times.
And in the forthcoming oath, Roberts and Obama certainly not going to happen any errors. After the presidential election on 6/11 "two men exchanged a copy of the oath, each word correctly, dots and place emphasis in word reading sworn 35", an official organization inauguration said.

Obama arrives in Hawaii for Christmas

President Obama and his family arrived Honolulu for a Christmas vacation in Hawaii early Saturday, just hours after he urged congressional leaders to take one last shot at crafting a bill that can prevent tax hikes on middle-class Americans.

The president, who optimistically claimed he would be back "next week" to handle a budget deal, touched down in Air Force One shortly after midnight and left quickly with his family for their vacation home.
Friday's pitch by Obama to jumpstart talks on a deficit-reduction deal came as he and virtually everyone involved were preparing to bolt Washington for the holidays.
House Speaker John Boehner, who until several days ago was Obama's negotiating partner, headed home to Ohio on Friday.
It remained unclear whether they really would return next week to strike a deal.
Time is running short before sweeping tax hikes kick in Jan. 1 -- followed by aggressive automatic spending cuts -- and the two left in their wake a cacophony of recriminations over stalled efforts to avert the looming fiscal crisis and growing doubts about the prospects for compromise.
After a Republican package collapsed in the House the night before, the president said Friday he remained optimistic. "I actually still think we can get it done," Obama said, after meeting briefly with Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and speaking separately with Boehner.
Obama specifically called on Congress to pass a bill that extends current tax rates for middle-class Americans, which he typically defines as those making under $250,000. He said such a package should also extend long-term unemployment aid and lay "the groundwork for further work on both growth and deficit reduction."
"That's an achievable goal. That can get done in 10 days," he said, adding he would "immediately" sign it into law before Jan. 1. "It's that simple."
The problem, though, is that Republicans are adamantly opposed to a bill raising taxes on families making over $250,000, claiming it would hurt the economy and particularly small business.
The array of proposals and avenues for a deal all have encountered serious issues.
Talks between Boehner and Obama aimed at crafting a compromise hit a wall earlier this week. The House has resisted the kind of bill that Obama and Senate Democrats are pushing. And the Senate has resisted a Republican bill that would extend current tax rates for everyone.
Adding to the complications, Boehner's "Plan B" to extend current rates for all but those making more than $1 million was pulled from the floor Thursday night after it failed to garner enough Republican support.
Obama said Friday that "nobody can get 100 percent of what they want," as he urged Republicans to come toward him.
Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said, in response, that "we remain hopeful he is finally ready to get serious about averting the fiscal cliff" and that Boehner would return to Washington after Christmas "ready to find a solution."
But Boehner, while signaling a willingness to resume talks with Obama, also wants the Senate to act first.
On the heels of his "Plan B" tax bill failing the night before, Boehner did not offer any specific proposal Friday. While expressing interest in a broad agreement, he added: "How we get there, God only knows."
As lawmakers peeled away from the Capitol, they delivered their parting shots. Each party was calling on the other to step up with a solution, but the tone was hardly in keeping with the holiday spirit. And it hardly stoked optimism that both sides were working toward an agreement.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi claimed Republicans were "taking food out of the mouths of babies and seniors" with their proposals.
Reid accused Boehner of wasting a week on a "futile political stunt."
Boehner complained that, "at some point, the United States Senate has to do something."
Boehner acknowledged Friday that his "Plan B" did not have enough support to pass. "It's not the outcome that I wanted, but that was the will of the House," he said.
He called on Democrats to step up and get serious about spending cuts, noting they control the Senate and White House. House Republican Leader Eric Cantor said "we stand ready to continue a dialogue with this president to actually fix the problem."
The reality remains that any package to avert the crisis must pass both chambers. Boehner may be facing the balancing act of his political career. Democrats claimed that without a robust coalition of Republicans behind him, Boehner would have to compromise with them.
But if the speaker goes too far to the left, he could easily lose Republicans.
Boehner's Republican allies were fuming Thursday night at the course of events.
"It's the same 40 chuckleheads that screwed this place up," Rep. Steve LaTourette, R-Ohio, said, referencing the conservative lawmakers who were opposed to raising tax rates at any level. "(Boehner's) done everything to make nice to them."
During an emergency conference meeting Thursday night, Fox News is told that Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., jumped up and implored members to reconsider. He asked: "Is this the best we can do? Is this the best we can do for John Boehner?"
The House was able to pass a plan Thursday to replace automatic spending cuts set to hit next month. The House bills, though, had been adamantly opposed anyway by Democrats in both chambers.

US: First Funerals Held for US School Rampage Victims

A small town in the northeastern United States is beginning the grim task of holding funerals for the 20 children and six adults killed in a shooting rampage at an elementary school.

A shooting at a Connecticut elementary school has resulted in the deaths of many children and teachers, reports say. Police went to Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown at 9.41am responding to reports of gunfire. Police have put all schools in Newtown on lockdown as a result of the shooting. The status of the gunman or possible gunmen is unknown at this time.
Funerals for two six-year-old boys are being held Monday, the first for those gunned down at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. The children killed in the attack Friday were six- and seven-years old.
A state police official, Lieutenant J. Paul Vance, said the school and a secondary site are being held as crime scenes. He said authorities are examining evidence and interviewing witnesses.
"State police major crime detectives have been working 24 hours a day since this tragedy occurred and will continue to do so indefinitely as they continue to answer questions surrounding this tragedy and how and why it occurred," said Vance.
No motive has been given for the attack.
President Barack Obama joined mourners at a vigil Sunday in Newtown, telling then they are not alone in their grief. He vowed to use his power to prevent another such tragedy, noting the rampage was the fourth U.S. mass shooting during his presidency, almost four years ago.
"We can't tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end, and to end them we must change. We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true," said Obama. "No single law, no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world and prevent every single act of violence in our society. But that can't be an excuse for inaction."
All the adult victims were women, and included the school's principal, who reportedly tried to stop the shooter, and a teacher who is credited with saving lives by putting herself between students and the attacker.
Authorities say the killer was Adam Lanza, who died at the scene of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Connecticut's chief medical examiner Wayne Carver said the victims were killed at close range by multiple gunshots from an assault-style rifle. According to law enforcement officials, Lanza's mother legally owned the rifle used in the massacre, as well as two handguns reportedly found near his body.
Friday's attack was the second worst school shooting in U.S. history. The worst occurred in 2007, when a gunman killed 32 people at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. Before that, the deadliest U.S. school shooting was the 1999 rampage at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, where two teenagers killed 13 students and staff before killing themselves.

Obama offers 'love and prayers' to Newtown, says these tragedies must end

President Obama came to Connecticut on Sunday to express his sorrow for those suffering after the fatal mass shooting of 20 children and six adults and to call for an end to such incidents -- offering “the love and hope of a nation” and saying “these tragedies have got to end.”

The president spoke at the Newtown High School after meeting privately with families of the victims and emergency personnel who responded to the deadly shootings Friday inside the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
“I am very mindful that words cannot match the depths of your sorrow,” the president said. “But whatever measure of comfort we can provide, we will provide. … Newtown, you are not alone.”
The president spoke at a lectern, in front of which was table set with 26 glass-covered candles, one for each of the 6- and 7-year-olds fatally shot.
“Surely, we can do better than this,” said Obama in what was his fourth trip as president to a grieving city after a mass shooting.
The president vowed during his roughly 18-minute speech that in the coming weeks he will use whatever powers possible to “prevent another tragedy like this” -- including calling upon law enforcement and mental-health experts to help.
A White House official said Obama was the primary author of his speech and edited his remarks on the flight to Connecticut with White House speechwriter Cody Keenan.
The president was introduced by Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy, who said Obama told him Friday was the hardest day of his presidency.
“We need this … to begin our long journey through grief and loss,” said the Rev. Matt Crebbin, of the Newtown Congressional Church, who began the prayer vigil. “We are all in this together.”
Authorities identified the shooter Friday as 20-year-old Adam Lanza. He fatally shot his mother before going to the school and killed himself.
Last summer, Obama went to Aurora, Colo., to visit victims and families after a shooting spree at a movie theater in the Denver suburb left 12 dead.
He went to Tucson, Ariz., in January of last year after six people were killed and 13 were wounded, including then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, outside a grocery store. Keenan also helped Obama write that speech.
In November 2009, Obama traveled to Fort Hood, Texas, to speak at the memorial service for 13 service members who were killed on the post by another soldier.
After the Colorado shooting in July, the White House made clear that Obama would not propose new gun restrictions in an election year and said he favored better enforcement of existing laws.
However, the Connecticut shootings may have changed the political dynamic in Washington, although public opinion in favor of gun control has declined over the years. While the White House has said Obama stands by his desire to reinstate a ban on military-style assault weapons, he has not pushed Congress to act.
Several Democratic lawmakers, during appearances on the Sunday talk shows, said the gruesome killings at the school were the final straw in a debate on gun laws that has fallen to the wayside in recent years.
"This conversation has been dominated in Washington by -- you know and I know -- gun lobbies that have an agenda" said Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate. "We need people, just ordinary Americans, to come together, and speak out, and to sit down and calmly reflect on how far we go."
Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent who is retiring, suggested a national commission on mass violence that would examine gun laws and what critics see as loopholes, as well as the mental health system and violence in movies and video games. Durbin said he supports the idea, and would add school safety to the list of topics to examine.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said she would push legislation next year to ban future sales of military-assault weapons like those used in the elementary school shooting. The bill will ban big clips, drums and strips of more than 10 bullets.
Gun rights activists remained largely quiet on the issue, all but one declining to appear on the talk shows. However, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, defended the sale of assault weapons and said that the principal at Sandy Hook Elementary School, who authorities say died trying to overtake the shooter, should herself have been armed.

The plane crashed during aircraft-carrier training near Waukegan on Dec. 28, 1944. The FM-2 "Wildcat" Fighter went down in about 200 feet of water in an accident blamed on engine failure. Crews recovered it Friday.
The Naval Aviation Museum Foundation sponsored the recovery. The foundation wants it to eventually go on display in the Chicago area.
More than 17,000 pilots completed the training in Lake Michigan. That included World War II pilot and future president, George H. Bush.
The aircraft carriers useful for the training docked at Chicago's Navy Pier. The pilots flew from Glenview Naval Air Station in Glenview.
US: 200 Teenagers Have Been Taken in Afghani War

The U.S. army has taken more than 200 Afghani teenagers who had been taken within the war for around a year at a period at a army prison next to Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, the United States Of America has told the United Nations.
The U.S. State Department characterized the detainees held since 2008 as "enemy combatants" in a document sent every 4 years to the United Nations in Geneva updating U.S. compliance because of U.N. Convention in the Rights of Child.
The U.S. army had held them "to prevent a combatant from returning to the battlefield," the document said.
A few are still confined during the Detention Facility in Parwan, which will be turned over to the Afghani government, it said. "Nearly all them have been released or transferred to the Afghani government," said the document, distributed this week.
Nearly all of juvenile Afghani detainees were about 16 years of age, but their age was not usually determined until after capture, the U.S. document said.
If the average age is 16, "This means it is highly likely that some children were as young as 14 or 13 years of age when these people were taken by U.S. forces," Jamil Dakwar, director of Our Civil Liberties Union's human rights program, said Friday.
"I've represented children as young as 11 or 12 who possess been at Bagram," said Tina M. Foster, executive director of International Justice Network, which represents adult and juvenile Bagram detainees.
"I question the sheer number of 200, because there are thousands of detainees at Parwan," Foster said Friday. "There are other children whose parents have said these children are under 18 during the time of their capture, and the U.S. doesn't allow the detainees or their families to contest their age."
Dakwar also criticized the length of detention, a year through average, according to the U.S. document.
"This will be an extraordinarily unacceptably long period of time that exposes children in detention to greater risk of physical and mental abuse, especially if these are typically denied access to the protections guaranteed in their eyes under international rule|statute|regulation," Dakwar said.
The U.S. State Department was called for comment in the criticism, and a representative said these people were seeking an officer to reply.
The previous Our document 4 years backwards offered|presented|as long as an overview of focus of U.S. army's effort within the endgame of Bush presidential term after years of warfare and anti-terrorism campaigns. 4 Years Backwards, the U.S. said it held about 500 juveniles in Iraqi detention centers and then had only about 10 during the Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. A total of some 2,500 youths was indeed taken , almost all in Iraq, from 2002 through 2008 under the Bush administration.
Barack President obama campaigned to get the presidential term 4 years backwards partially through winding down active U.S. involvement within the Iraq War, and shifting the army focus to Afghanistan. The latest figures through under-18 detainees reflect the redeployment of U.S. efforts to Afghanistan.
Because the teen detainees were not charged with any crime, "a detainee would generally not be offered|presented|as long as legal assistance." these people were allowed to attend open hearings and defend themselves, and a personal advocate was assigned to the document, each detainee said.
"These are basically sham proceedings," Foster said. "The personal representatives don't do anything different to get the child detainees than they do to get the adults, and is nothing."
The document added that "the purpose of detention is not punitive but preventative: to prevent a combatant from returning to the battlefield."
It cited a 2004 U.S. Supreme Court case, Hamdi vs. Rumsfeld, as establishing that "the rule|statute|regulation of armed conflict permits the United States Of America to detain belligerents until the end of hostilities without charging such individuals with crimes, because they may not be being held as criminals facing future criminal trial."
"The U.S. army is fighting irregular forces?" Al-Qaida, the Taliban, and an array of similar shadowy insurgent or terrorist groups. So it is not clear when "hostilities" would ever formally end, since there is no declaration of war and no enemy government to defeat. Only the United States Of America can decide when it deems a conflict to be over, in those circumstances.
Foster said that the teens seized are not in uniform or even typically taken in combat.
"We're not discussing about battlefield captures, we're discussing about people who happen to be living at home, and four or five brothers might be taken together. It might take them a year or more to figure out that one of them was younger than 18, to determine the identities among these kids," she said.
Within the State, January Department will send a delegation to Geneva to present the document to the U.N.'s Committee in the Rights of Child, and to response any more questions the U.N. committee members could have.

Israel initiated hostilities have escalated in the Gaza Strip and Israel's losses have been estimated. Israeli Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Finance may pay a terrible price in human and economic.
This estimate is based on the previous war.
This photo is becoming an anti-war symbol, and spread throughout the world: Jihad Masharawi hug the body not yet one year old son were killed when Israeli bombs fell on their house in Gaza. "My son has done nothing to deserve that? Incompressible Masharawi painful - A 11-month-old baby, what mistakes ". His eldest son was seriously injured and her 19-year-olds were killed - Photo: Huffington Post
These estimates are based on the "East Germany" in 2008 or the 2nd Lebanon war, though the number depends on the severity and duration of the conflict. Besides, the difference in cost is due to the nature of the attack. According Ha'Aretz, not fight often less expensive than on the war, in contrast to the equipment involved as fighters are generally more expensive than ground weapons such as tanks or artillery.
Campaign "crowded" lasted 22 days and cost over 3.8 billion Shekel ($ 960 million), of which about 2.4 billion Shekel by the Ministry of Finance and the remainder from the source of funds of the Ministry of Defense . Lebanese war in 2006 forced the Israeli Ministry of Finance to more than 8.2 billion Shekel (more than 2 billion U.S. dollars), not including the additional provisions in times of emergency.
Costs for air campaign
Alert Ha'Aretz calculate Israeli airstrike campaigns cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour. To operate an unmanned aircraft to 6,000 Shekel (about 1,500 U.S. dollars) per hour, while a helicopter to spend $ 5,000 / hour. Cost for an aircraft flying in the sky each hour is $ 15,000. The deployment of military reserve force Israel to pay 450 Shekel (more than 110 USD) per person / day.
Besides the indirect costs of the war, such as loss of labor productivity due to the troops were forced to leave or production capacity. The wave of violence these days a strong impact on southern Israel when many factories, offices to narrow or shut down operations temporarily. About 1,000 factories in the area hit hard by artillery, not to mention other types of businesses. In addition, many schools are closed due to the fighting force the parents to stay and the cost of insurance agency must pay for the employee to do a huge amount. Finally, the material damage caused by artillery shells. Campaign "crowded" four years ago caused losses of up to $ 25 million.
Israeli Finance Ministry unveils measures to ease pressure on businesses, such as allow deferred tax report a week. David Zaken, Israeli officials to monitor the bank, said the bank has directed to support people within 40km of the Gaza Strip. As a result, people in the affected areas of the shells are allowed to exceed the credit limit or perform transactions over the telephone without an agreement manually.
Not intended armistice
Prime Minister Netanyahu government is planning to expand the campaign air strikes in the Gaza Strip, an official campaigner said. Israel Air Force attack command has been enhanced to prepare a campaign on the other.
"We're not talking about a cease-fire, it is not in the plan," said an official of the consultation meeting between Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. Declaration on Channel 2, Mr Barak said the Palestinians pay the price for the shelling of Tel Aviv. A military spokesman said it plans to summon 30,000 reserve soldiers.
Conflict escalated from 14-11 days after the Israeli air strikes targeting the Gaza Strip killed a military commander of the Islamist movement Hamas, the group which controls Gaza. In response, Hamas returned fire hundreds of missiles at Israel, but most of the intercept.
At least 51 Palestinians were killed, half of them civilians, including 14 children and hundreds injured since the outbreak of violence. Towards Israel, missiles, killing at least three civilians were killed and dozens injured. The tragic story recounted the last few days are carved the civilian loss that both sides suffer.
