"John North, the vice president of finance for Ashland-based Lithia Motors, said the auto retailer would see almost all its profits from Oregon stores wiped out under a tax measure headed toward the November 2016 ballot.
"That's not really sustainable," said North, adding that Lithia, one of the state's three Fortune 500 companies, might reduce its presence in Oregon if the measure passes.
"Everything is on the table," he said. "We may have to change our headquarters."
North said his firm now pays between $3 million and $4 million a year in state taxes, and he calculates that amount would increase to about $35 million. Lithia operates on an after-tax margin of about 2.7 percent, he said, and a sales-based tax of 2.5 percent "basically takes away all the motivation to do business in Oregon because there is no profit."

Has Justin Trudeau done ANYTHING for Canadians? He has a certain charm and is a popular international figure because of the liberal media but I can't think of a single thing he has done that I'm excited about. He gave Khadr $ 10.5 million, he welcomed tens of thousands of Syrian refugees, increased our foreign aid budget. He's talked A LOT about indigenous issues and multiculturalism and the benefits of trade. What has he done for us though?? Is our health care better? Is our military stronger? Is our air cleaner? Do we have more jobs? Is life more affordable? I would say meh, about the same no? | 0 | en |

Life is so much fun. Tyler is the light of our lives. He is HILARIOUS!The other day we were up in his room playing drums. He was obviously the band director. He was telling me what to play, the rhythm, the song we needed to play... It was either the ones he has made up, like 'Sola Ren', or 'We will rock you", So funny. Then Tim came home from work, and Tyler put him right to work with the guitar. It was hilarious...and here we are, a family band practice. It was a moment, let me tell you.
We have the best conversations. Tyler asks so many questions and he seems to really understand. He remembers everything. Well somewhere, he learned how to "fly"...last night Tim was telling me that he jumped from our ottoman to the sofa and yelled "super hero!" I find myself constantly saying to myself "Dude, you are 2!"
I was working on some pictures of the latest family I shot, and we were going through the "daddy" and who the "mommy" was and he pointed to me and said "mommy" and pointed to the picture and said "different mommy"... I was like WOW! It is unreal how fast they learn.
Ty is just my best little buddy. Very loving, very polite. We have a nighttime ritual...the brush the teeth, prayers, and now the new song he loves me to sing is "Somewhere over the Rainbow" (kinda fitting, huh?) I usually have to sing it 2 or 3 times. The other night he stood up while I was singing and acting like he was rocking a solo on the guitar...needless to say, so hard to sing watching that. Then Sat. night I sang it one time, he stood up in his bed, and started clapping...saying "One more time"... That was the best standing ovation/encore of my entire life. He is just the love of my life....
We now have a sticker reward chart, and he is LOVING that. He cleans his toys, throws trash away, follows directions... We are so blessed...I hope it lasts!
Ty, Daddy and I went to the Zoo the other day again. It was amazing weather, and we just had the greatest time.
Tomorrow we are heading to Terrific Tots class again with Eleni, Gus, and Conner ;) They are cutest little posse!
Alrighty...better get some work done while naptime is in progess...actually he is singing right now. Such a beautiful sound!

...and Ty is getting SO big. He speaks in sentences now and 90% of his words are clear and not "babytalk". He says motorcycle perfectly and after watching motocross with daddy yesterday he went and got on his bike and started jumping over toys on the floor. Candace and I just looked at each other and simultaneously thought "uh oh, we are in trouble". He is such a little daredevil. We were walking down the steps the other day and he got to the 2nd step and jumped. I just had to laugh, but we try to teach him he can get hurt doing that. When we go places he is very personable and at playgroup Can told me he walks in the house and waves and says Hi, Hi, Hi to everyone then goes over and starts playing with the other kids. He asks me "how I'm doin'" and is the funniest and funnest little guy I've ever met in my life. He makes our world complete and I've come to realize that everything else in the world means nothing if I can't share it with him. | 0 | en |

There is defensible theory unpinning the notion that severe economic contractions warrant debt fuelled public sector spending to kick-start the economy, and then repay the debt when the economy recovers.
Sadly, the vast majority of politicians find it convenient to turn every minor case of hiccups into an excuse for spending our children's taxes, and with rare exceptions, never find it convenient to repay.
The last set of Liberal election promises was a classic head fake in this vein, and their subsequent hemorrhaging act is definitely doubling down on stupid.

Haha, Jeff, low level staffer indeed. I'm not a staffer but I do have economic creds, so I know of which I speak.
In response to your comment, which apart from the little dig at me is quite legitimate, the economy works as much if not more on signals. This was Keynes' insight, that he termed "animal spirits."
We've seen that with the DOW rising on the expectations of Trump lowering corporate taxes, and now stagnating with the growing uncertainty. Likewise, the expectation of GDP increases due to promised fiscal stimulus becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy under the right circumstances. So you don't actually need shovels to hit the dirt, all you need is the expectation that they will.
Ironically, now that we no longer expect the metaphorical shovels, as they are not needed, the expectation of sustained growth without inflationary pressures should create its own momentum.
So I say again, thank you Mr. Trudeau! | 0 | en |

These officers are our front line in defense of life, limb & property. Without their personal sacrifices, we as citizens would be in dire shape, and it seems that no one is lining up to take these jobs. These people have jobs that the average citizen does not want to have, taking them to the underbelly of the city, to things most decent citizens turn a blind to if it does not involve themselves...and it is frightening the depravity of some of those who are loose out in the streets, they are out there - the predators, waiting & watching. So yes, the people who have these jobs to perform are very brave to stay on these jobs - we need them, but it is a job full of personal sacrifices to make our world a safer place to be. Thank you to all of you who work to make our lives a safer place to be. | 0 | en |

I would like to point out that drug is a word used to describe substances that we deem to alter our physiology or that are addictive. Chemically there is no difference between something that is a 'drug' and comes from nature and something that is a 'food' and comes from nature. Cocain is purified from a plant, THC comes from the marijuaa plant, psilocybin comes from magic mushrooms, salicylic acid ( from which acetal salicylic acid, aspirin, was developed) comes from willow tree bark, sucrose (white sugar) is purified from sugar cane. There is no difference between sugar and a 'drug' except in how we use it. In a sugar addiction, it's a drug. | 0 | en |

Certainly "a" capitol of the world (one among many capitols of the world, depending upon what kind of a deserved or undeserved "capital" you are looking for in the world). London has always felt more superior to itself than to its European or global equals. But confronted by global economies, resources far greater than London's (UK's), there is no way it can save its " world capitol-ness" or uniqueness except by compromise and forging mutual concessions with other great capitols, countries. Brexit, for example, isn't going to usher into the world any kind of "new age," as it were, or new Victorian epoch, empire and all (or even Elizabethan Age), with King Charles and his queen, Camilla, on the throne. UK is empire-less and, at home, at least, in great need of keeping itself together (with Scotland and Northern Ireland quite upset with the vote to exit from the EU). Even 96% of the citizenry of Gibraltar voted to stay in the EU. London has to deal with that angry dot of Europe, too. | 0 | en |
A multistep validation process of biomarkers for preclinical drug development.
Biomarkers that can be measured in preclinical models in a high-throughput, reproducible manner offer the potential to increase the speed and efficacy of drug development. Development of therapeutic agents for many conditions is hampered by the limited number of validated preclinical biomarkers available to gauge pharmacoefficacy and disease progression, but the validation process for preclinical biomarkers has received limited attention. This report defines a five-step preclinical biomarker validation process and applies the process to a case study of diabetic retinopathy. By showing that a gene expression panel is highly reproducible, coincides with disease manifestation, accurately classifies individual animals and identifies animals treated with a known therapeutic agent, a biomarker panel can be considered validated. This particular biomarker panel consisting of 14 genes (C1inh, C1s, Carhsp1, Chi3l1, Gat3, Gbp2, Hspb1, Icam1, Jak3, Kcne2, Lama5, Lgals3, Nppa, Timp1) can be used in diabetic retinopathy pharmacotherapeutic research, and the biomarker development process outlined here is applicable to drug development efforts for other diseases. | 0 | en |
The jump from 30th to 20th in scoring is impressive. This team is undoubtedly better offensively. But going from 30th to 16th in goals-against (3:37 to 3.10) still means you’re bad defensively."
I don't get this reasoning at all. Moving up ten spots offensively is "impressive" but moving up 14 spots defensively is "still bad?" By definition, in a 31-team league, being 16th is average, not "bad." And in shots allowed per game (which IMO is a better indicator of team defense than goals against) the Avs are 10th in the league, which is top third. It may not last but right now, the Avs D is not "bad." It's actually relatively decent.
And this is at least the second time I've read Chambers describe MacKinnon as a "natural goal scorer," which I also don't get. A natural goal scorer should average more than a goal every four games.

If you read up on history, you will see that lobotomies and eugenics were not actually based on science. The lobotomy was a primitive treatment that seemed outwardly to work (to effectively silence the mentally ill) but only because others would no longer see or hear the effects of the sick. There was no science behind it, and it was done in a time when there was little scientific understanding of mental illness. Mental health medicine was still in the "dark ages" then. As the science progressed, lobotomies were discontinued.
Eugenics was a belief system that had no basis in science, although there were those who famously tried to use science to justify their belief. They failed to do so, BTW.
As matt calgary correctly responded, electro-convulsive therapy is a valid treatment that is still used today. It is true though that it was overused in the past, for the same reasons that lobotomies were used...lack of scientific knowledge.
Science is evidence based. | 0 | en |

7.3 earthquake won't send tsunamis to Indonesia
A view of mass grave on the fifth anniversary of the 2004 Boxing Day earthquake and subsequent tsunami, on December 26, 2009 in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Aceh was the worst hit location, being the closest major city to the epicentre of the 9.1 magnitude quake, suffering a huge hit from the following tsunami and resulting in around 130,000 deaths. Throughout the affected region of eleven countries, 230,000 people in total were killed, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history.
Ulet Ifansasti/Getty Images
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia - A powerful earthquake hit waters off western Indonesia early Wednesday, prompting officials to briefly issue a tsunami warning. Panicked residents poured into the streets, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the 7.3-magnitude quake struck 260 miles off the coast of Aceh province just after midnight. It was centered 18 miles beneath the ocean floor.
People in the provincial capital, Banda Aceh - still deeply traumatized by the 2004 monster quake and tsunami - were rattled from their sleep. They fled their homes and waited outside as sirens blared from local mosques, some hopping in cars and motorcycles and heading for high ground.
"I'm afraid," said Fera, a resident, who skidded off on her motorbike with her two children and her mom.
In the town of Seumele, patients were evacuated from a a hospital.
Officials contacted by The Associated Press in several coastal cities, however, had not received any reports about serious injures or damage.
Nearly two hours after the quake struck, the local geological agency lifted its tsunami warning.
Indonesia is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.
A giant quake off the country on Dec. 26, 2004, triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed 230,000 people, half of them in Aceh. | 0 | en |
Europe’s Political Mainstream Gets A Wake-Up Call !
The resounding gains made by the anti-EU parties in last week’s European parliamentary elections have alerted Europe’s mainstream leadership to its fundamentally precarious position. This is a warning Stratfor sounded more than two years ago, when we predicted the rise of the far right and cautioned that these fringe groups should not be underestimated, precisely because they were tapping into very real and deepening sentiments that emerged from the economic and social malaise that has developed since 2008.
The highest levels of European leadership are finally and unequivocally feeling the political consequences of years of unemployment and stagnating growth across much of the continent. The dismal election results for many of the mainstream European parties (particularly in France, Spain and the United Kingdom) overshadowed the small but much-lauded gross domestic product growth figures for the year to date that dominated headlines until last week.
The current European leadership sees the rapid rise of Euroskeptical parties as an existential threat to the postwar order in Europe. This is not only because of old specters of Europe’s bloody nationalist past, but also because the economic and financial stability of the continent has been rigged (sometimes haphazardly) around the open market and common currency that these Euroskeptical parties want to recuse. | 0 | en |
