Where're TheTax havens of the world

It's an international marketplace after all, and there are plenty of nations willing to welcome expatriates fed up with the taxman.
Countries like the Bahamas make tax haven status an integral part of their marketing - relocate to Nassau, and you'll fear no tax man. That's because, for Bahamians and resident aliens there are no taxes on personal income, capital gains, inheritance or gifts.

Tax havens grew out of the late 19th-century British system that began granting independent economic governance to protectorates like Gibraltar, Hong Kong or the Channel Islands, which then became easy places for people to protect money - hence the term off-shore accounts.
By the 20th century, high net-worth individuals were flocking to small islands like Monaco and Bermuda, whose governments figured the money they could garnish off real estate transactions and sales tax made the tax-free incentives worthwhile.

Most countries assess taxes based on residency, not citizenship. As a result, people across Europe who settle down in Switzerland ease into the moderate tax rates. For Americans, however, there's no escaping the long arm of the IRS.
Americans living outside the country are exempt on their first US$82,400 of foreign earned income, but the most recent 2006 tax cuts boosted taxes by up to 20% for expatriates and made it possible for the IRS to dip into foreign retirement accounts for the first time. It is the highest such increase in 30 years, and ex-pats pay it on top of their host country taxes.

Even when relocating to paradise, moving abroad can be a tough adjustment. But it can also offer opportunities for you and your family to explore local culture or take up new hobbies.
Cities like Hong Kong and Geneva offer as many cosmopolitan amenities as you can expect to find anywhere, with many of the comforts of home, from cinemas showing American movies to top-notch international cuisine.
Moving to a small island, though, can make it harder to import your lifestyle - but fortunately the way of life most offer is alluring. Bermuda, for example, has nine golf courses crammed into just 20.6 square miles and temperatures that seldom fall below 60 degrees (16 celsius) or rise above 85 (29 celsius), meaning that it's a rare day you can't play. In the British Virgin Islands, it would be a sin not to work on your skippering skills, while a move to the Cayman Islands virtually requires an interest in snorkeling or scuba diving.

School Says NO to Cellphone and Ipod

Students at Notre Dame Catholic High School have reportedly been disconnected from their cellphones.
School administrators have banned the use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices on school property.
The move comes after a clip from a student's cellphone camera of a teacher and some students in a school hallway appeared on YouTube without the teacher's consent.
The Ontario Government has said it is up to individual school boards to ban cellphones on school property.
