Airbnb makes small admission on tax issue, saying its hosts should pay
Under pressure in San Francisco and New York City for violating local tenant and land use laws and refusing to pay local taxes, Airbnb has finally acknowledged that transient occupany taxes apply to the room rentals it facilitates. But the company still hasn't taken any public steps to collect the tax, nor has it admitted that it shares this tax debt with its hosts.
"Our hosts are not hotels, but we believe that it makes sense for our community to pay occupancy tax, with limited exemptions for those who earn under certain thresholds," CEO Brian Chesky wrote on the Airbnb blog yesterday, addressing the post to New York City and not San Francisco, where it is headquartered and where we have shown the company is shirking an annual tax debt of nearly $2 million.
Contacted by the Guardian, a company spokesperson extended the pledge to San Francisco, writing, "Yesterday, our CEO Brian Chesky announced that we believe it makes sense for our community of hosts to pay occupancy tax to the cities in which they live, with exceptions under certain thresholds, and we are eager to discuss how this might be made possible. We have been in substantive discussions with Board President David Chiu on these issues for some time, and we'd like to thank him for the open dialogue that helped lead to today's announcement. We look forward to continuing our work with him and others in San Francisco to set forth clear, fair laws that allow regular people to rent out their own homes, while giving back to the city that makes it possible."
As the Guardian has repeatedly reported, most recently in our Aug. 6 cover story "Into Thin Air," the San Francisco Treasurer/Tax Collectors Office has ruled that the city's TOT of about 15 percent applies to Airbnb guests, and that Airbnb shares that joint tax liability with its hosts.
The ability of individual hosts to receive business licenses for renting out rooms and to collect and remit the TOT is complicated by the fact that such rentals violate land use, tenant, and other city laws -- and Chiu has been developing legislation that would legalize and regulate the stays.
Airbnb could easily collect the TOT on each San Francisco transaction, as some of its online competitors have already been doing, but it has so far refused to do so. And when the Guardian asked Airbnb whether it now plans to do so, the company ignored the question.
In fact, Airbnb's public statements and private communications indicate its intention to pass the buck to its hosts rather than collect and pay the taxes itself, and several hosts who commented on Chesky's blog post expressed hopes they would get more support from the company on the myriad issues that complicate its simplistic business model.
Nonetheless, Chiu took the Airbnb's statement yesterday as a positive sign, telling us, "I am pleased to hear that Airbnb has acknowledged the need for their users to pay the occupancy tax. This policy was developed as a result of discussions that I've led in the past year to regulate and tax shareable housing activity in San Francisco. While we continue to negotiate with shareable housing companies, housing advocates, and the Mayor's Office to find sensible solutions, I am confident that we will be able to move forward on a regulatory framework that provides flexibility to residents, protects our affordable housing stock and collects the fair share of taxes for the City. I look forward to introducing legislation in the coming months."
AirBnB admits that their hosts owe the hotel tax even though, as they note, the hosts are not hotels.
But it seems reasonable that they should not have to do the Tax Collectors work for them.
So I suspect the details will probably require some type of measure to help with collection. Perhaps the contract between AirBnB and the Host will make explicit that the host owes the tax. And/or AirBnB will, upon request, supply details of the activity for a given host, in much the same way as employers provide W-2's and banks do 1099's.
The best solution is always the one where nobody gets everything that they want.

What do you think of my america cup win last week, it cost me some big bucks, but I can affourd it, i be very rich.
AirBNB is never going to pay the tax, Steven is just confused.
What Airbnb will most likely do is to add a tax recovery charge based on parameters supplied by the host, which is exactly what Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline and the rest do. Then that money is passed to the host and, hopefully, they use it to pay the TOT tax.
If you go to craigslist, under 'San Francisco vacation rentals' you'll see hundreds of listings where people can stay for a few days instead of a hotel. Nothing is in the works to get the TOT on those rentals. AirBNB rocks!
cheap shot at the Mayor there.
He had no problem when he knowingly broke his lease (yes, he rents, what a loser) by using AirBnB and not paying the tax.

Fuck taxes.
legalized mugging of the successful by the envious.
Taxes are the price we pay for living in civil society, something that only the reactionary right-wingers don't understand. Most of us don't want to live according to the law of jungle, where the strong are free to exploit the weak. And even libertarian heroes like Adam Smith understood that the rich (including billion-dollar corporations and their billionaire investors) should pay more in taxes because they have more. Frankly, I think Airbnb hosts should be offended that this wealthy company and its venture capitalists are throwing them under the bus in order to avoid their tax obligation and the simple task of collecting this tax from guests.
But Steven, you never met a tax you didn't like, that you didn't want to introduce, raise rates on, or enforce more aggressively.
Taxes are a necessary evil but not an endless gravy train.
Anyway, in this case, the taxes will be paid anyway, by the hosts who are the ones who are really profiting from these short-term lets. AirBnB is merely a broker and their fee for that is less than the tax you want to apply.
Do you support a tax audit for every tenant who makes money by illegally sub-letting his rented unit thru AirBnB? If not, why not?
To him the social contract is a unilateral type thing.
Those with more should be taxed more in all sorts of new ways and pay more on all of the old ways. The social contract runs one way, if you are a complete fuck up and have no interest in changing you don't need to, but the social contract needs to enable your fucked up status.
If you have read Steve for a while he has various entitlement issues, other than his bike entitlement racings, Steve gets all worked up if car owners want the status quo, he foams at the mouth if bike riders don't get free shit.
Steve gets irate when non-progressives have an opinion on general legislation and where tax money should go. The city throws money away on an endless string of idiocy and can provide basic services so the progressive "mind" wants to create new taxes on business to pay for MUNI, if you think this is a bad idea Steve will go into hysterics about race and class.

"But Steven, you never met a tax you didn't like, that you didn't want to introduce, raise rates on, or enforce more aggressively."
Not true! Steven opposes higher Nevada taxes on Burning Man!
You need to draw a line somewhere!
Actually, that isn't true, I thought Black Rock City LLC should have just paid the higher fees that Pershing County was requesting rather than suing. The fees were a relative pittance for a $25 million company. As for the original point, when wealthy individuals and corporations return to paying their fair share for our collective needs -- going back to the tax rates of the '50s or '60s, for example -- then we should all be just fine. The problem is that greedy conservatives have slashed those rates, not that those on the left want ever-more tax revenue, which is an intentionally misleading accusation.
of the 50's and 60's. It was blue-collar so-called Reagan Democrats who voted for a revolution in taxation.
Nor was that particularly an American thing anyway - almost every Western nation reduced taxes from the punitive rates of 50 years ago. Those that did not, could not compete.
Drop the pipe dreams and focus on the real world. Even Obama preserved the Bush tax cuts almost in their entirety. Your ship has sailed.
I see "troll barrier" has no problem posting the same shit, so let's see if there is anyone watching, I suck cock and love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's great that people have a new way to make some cash on their too-expensive dwelling. It would also be great if these people would pay any applicable taxes on their new cash. They still come out ahead. And it would be great if Airbnb stepped up and created whatever user interface/backend is needed to make it easy for hosts to pay their taxes. Everybody wins.
If hosts owe tax to their locality, then they can pay it or take a risk that they won;t get caught.
But AirBnB operates in hundreds of cities. They cannot reasonably be expected to deal with all that complexity any more than tenants have to deduct income tax from their rent and pay it to. the government
Read the Treasurer's memo - both the renter AND Airbnb (Orbitz, Priceline, etc.) are liable for the tax. There are many software programs that track sales and the related tax. Presumably not everyone working at Airbnb is stupid and can learn to operate some simple software program in order to remit the correct amount of tax.
But before the city allows SF's valuable rental stock from being exploited by savvy landlords and speculators, let's hope the city requires a registration system, inspections for health and safety requirements before the short-term rentals commence, imposes some restrictions on street parking for the short-term renters, and requires adequate registration fees to cover the city's costs for ensuring compliance with the regulations and tax responsibilities. Failure to comply with these minimum requirements should be a misdemeanor, subject to increasing fines and jail sentences for willful non-compliance of the city's regulations.
Rather than chase down hundreds of tenants for taxes, they'd rather get it all from one place with deep pockets. Of course they would. But that doesn't eman their "opinion" (and that is all it is) would stand up in court.
If the opinion was valid, AirBnB would be sued by the city for being in default, and it is significant that the city feels it has no real power or right to do that.
No, SF will just have to do it the hard way - one host at a time.
The rest of your rant is just an appeal for mass over-regulation - the Achilles Heel of the left.
I'm not sure whether you're connected to Airbnb or just a little dense, but the issue here is very simple. Airbnb collects the money from guests. Only Airbnb does so, not the hosts, who are paid by Airbnb. Guests are the ones who generally pay the TOT, not the hosts. Ergo, only Airbnb can collect and remit this tax in an efficient manner. And since the company is legally responsible for the tax, it should just collect and pay it rather than being a petulant tax scofflaw and have its minions made dumb comments on blog posts rather than just being an honest and accessible member of this community.
AirBnB has lots of people wondering whether they're a good neighbor right now, during an important phase in their growth as a company. That's a major branding problem. There must be some potential hosts out there who might have considered renting out to guests on AirBnB, but now they're worried about the fallout, tax-wise, regulation-wise, landlord-wise, neighbor-wise. Bye-bye to those hosts and that revenue and that market share.
And AirBnB has the government breathing down their neck. That's also a branding problem, and it's got to be a major distraction from their business operations at times. I would not like to spend part of my day contemplating the possibility of a civil or criminal penalty, brought against me by a city where I am trying to do business.
But to think of every problem as an opportunity: I would like to see AirBnB take the criticism with a smile, even though they don't have to, and show us all what a truly-innovative top-growth company can come up with. Write a user interface/backend that takes care of this tax issue in a way that turns your critics into cheerleaders. That's good branding, and worth every penny of developer time. You can even take a slug at the government, with slogan that says something about teaching the IRS how to calculate taxes in the 21st century.
AirBnB than they are to tax collectors who are too lazy to go after the hosts and instead want someone else to do the work for them for free.
The city can pressure AirBnB, maybe, because AirBnB happen to be in SF. So if there is any impact from hassling them it will simply be to drive hosts to use other online services that are not based in SF. Maybe not even based in the US.
If I rent out my home to Europeans using a European version of AirBnB, good luck chasing them down for taxes or even knowing that I am doing this.
The one good thing I can see coming out of this is what landlords will now have a register of tenants who are using AirBnB to sublet illegally, and can then evict them with just cause for breaching their lease.
There's only one "transient occupancy" tax rate and it's based on property addresses known to Airbnb and other short-term rental companies since the address is the first piece of information received from the customer renting out their house/unit. Although "anon" and numerous "Guests" continue to tell us that the people who work at Airbnb are stupid who can't read or figure out simple tax rules, even Airbnb will be able to find a bookkeeper who can aggregate the rents and fees received for addresses located in the city, apply the tax rate, and send a check to the government each month. This is a job for a clerk, not a college grad. If Airbnb wants to eliminate a clerk's job, software programs either currently exist on the market or the task can be done with a simple extract of the billing system onto an excel worksheet with a sort by zip code and address.
Consider the tens of thousands of businesses that sell into Texas. Since Texas doesn't have an income tax it relies on layers upon layers of regressive sales taxes. The tax rate for each customer address is completely different since city, county, school, transit, and special-use tax districts are a hodgepodge of overlapping lines. Next door neighbors can have different tax rates depending on where these random tax lines are drawn. Yet these tens of thousands of companies are able to easily comply with the thousands of Texas tax rates because it's simple enough to sort billing information by address, or license software from numerous vendors such as Vertex or CCH and feed the billing system info into the tax software. It's a trivial process performed by thousands of tax clerks across the country. If thousands of companies can figure out their tax liability in Texas based on customer address, I think a clerk can figure it out when one tax rate applies in SF.
Rather than focus on the trivial tax compliance issue, the much bigger concerns should be about opening up the city's precious, limited housing stock to short-term rentals. When I pay $1.3 million for a 2-bedroom hovel in West Portal, or Bernal, or the Sunset districts, I didn't expect to be living near short-term rentals, with vacationing yahoos partying all night, disobeying parking rules, and introducing a transient element that makes the families who live there potentially less safe from the transients. My insurance premiums may now increase since I now live in a rental area rather than a single-family housing neighborhood. And if I don't tell my insurance company that my neighborhood now includes short-term rentals, they may deny any insurance claims based on my failure to notify them of the changed circumstances in the neighborhood.
When I travel to Singapore, Shanghai and Columbia I'm required to notify the local police of my presence and they copy my passport and travel documents. If every house in the city is potentially a short-term rental with the potential for unsavory characters roaming the safe neighborhood I had thought I lived in, at a minimum these transients should also be required to check in with the local police authorities where dissemination of the quiet hours, local parking rules, and the transients' identification documents can be exchanged. And every owner who rents out their house via a short-term rental company like Airbnb should be bonded with a $5 million insurance policy and an attorney/agent identified where they can be served with a lawsuit when one of their transients causes my house to burn down or my "quiet enjoyment" to be violated.
1) It's not true that you can tax regardless of jurisdiction. Suppose AirBnB moves to Dubai, and clearly they can exist anyway since their business model requires no physical location. There is no way you can enforce any tax collection unless Dubai agrees to co-operate with SF, which it wouldn't.
Companies like AirBnB can simply move offshore and give SF the finger, And of course SF will have no other way of knowing who is renting out their homes anyway.
Archaic taxes like the hotel tax, even if you accept that it applies to non-hotels (and I do not) will still find it very hard to enforce the collection of any taxes they make up, because of the very nature of a shared economy.
2) The rest of your views are little more than a xenophobic rant against foreigners. The fact that you want a secret police force that visitors have to register with just shows how pernicious is your desire for an anal retentive level of control over everyone and everything.
I have sublet thru AirBnB a number of time and have encountered only police, civil, respectful foreigners. Frankly I would take them over someone like you any day of the week. They pay more, they whine less, and they are a joy to interact with. If you're finding it hard to find a home, it's because you're an ass.
Of course AirBNB is not responsible for the taxes.It just wouldn't work.
Imagine that you are the tax collector in Key West, Florida. You notice that a local homeowner has been renting out her guest house. So you go to her for the TOT and she gives you a check for half of it.
So you ask about the other half and she tells you that one half of her business is from AirBNB, and she tells you to go track them down in San Francisco. The half that she just gave you if from craigslist or other sources. So now it is up to you, the tax collector, to manage the multiple sources that she uses within her business. Silly. No tax collector in the world allow that.
Of course the person who owns or leases and manages the property is responsible for the tax, just like with hotels. AirBNB probably should do a better job of building it in to their web site, and they probably will.
But the whole Steven Jones thing about AirBNB "owing" taxes and breaking laws is just because Ron Conway is an investor, and because Steven gets confused easily.
Steven hates that a successful business in Sf has some link with people more powerful and wealthy than he is, and so he misuses his role here to conduct a smear campaign, supported by his resident but clueless lapdog.
The moment a company takes ANY effort to exploit a market for profit, then local, state and federal tax authority is allowed under the Due Process clause of the 14th amendment. So let Airbnb go to Dubai. Once they advertise a SF rental on their website, then SF - and CA and the feds - are allowed under the 14th amendment to regulate and tax the activity. Even if the owners and managers of Airbnb remain in Dubai forever, the tax and regulatory liabilities arising from their profit-making activities in the SF and US remain. Forever. If the IRS or local tax authorities can't reach them, then Interpol can take over to drag these tax evaders back to the US for justice, with heavy fines and long jail terms.
You've misstated the tax jurisdiction rules for months now, which makes me think either you don't even live in the US or you believe that tax evasion is admirable. We know you're a big supporter of Mayor Lee, who has governed at a time when the city has become a haven only for the very wealthy who can afford high rents and high housing prices, and whose favored policies are to build housing only for rich people (and a few token units for very poor people) and who supports companies like Airbnb that willfully ignore the local tax laws. What a nice city you, the mayor and BOS are creating. The sooner you and the mayor are gone from the city, the sooner the city can try to repair the incredible social and economic damage your favored policies are causing the city.
And transient occupancy taxes are hardly archaic. The city has invested billions for tourist related expenditures, including tens of millions for annual subsidies to the "arts" favored by the wealthy travelers (the opera and symphony for starters), transit investment, landmark preservation, and marketing the city to foreign travelers. Imposing a focused tax like a transient occupancy tax to recapture a small portion of these billion dollar tourist-related expenditures is both smart and equitable.
If you hate the US and SF tax and regulation rules so much, the rational question is why do you even waste energy fighting equitable tax rules and reasonable regulations? You seem to be wealthy enough, so you could easily live in other countries that are far more to your liking, while profiting off the local tenants and supporting governments that are compliant to economic exploiters and tax evaders like yourself.
Google "tax nexus". It is all about having a 'sufficient physical presence' in order to be subject to local taxes.
No tax jurisdiction outside of San Francisco would accept being told by a local business that they had to track down AirBNB in San Francisco to collect the tax on money generated by the local business.
Unless maybe you think that San Francisco should be the only jurisdiction to place this burden on AirBNB. Because, after all, they did locate and create jobs here. For that, we should do all we can to make their life miserable. And let it be a lesson to other businesses that might want to locate here.
He presumably thinks that a Bulgarian website can be charged a SF tax.
I have news for him. I represent the North Korea government and we have decided to collect a $1,000 tax on all SF liberals who post here.
That makes no less sense than trying to tax a website that can locate anywhere it wants.
Clearly the host has the primary responsibility to pay the tax as it is the host who us making almost all the money.
The test for tax nexus isn't "physical presence." The test under the due process clause is "purposeful economic activity" within a taxing jurisdiction. If a business involves renting property or earning fees in a jurisdiction, which Airbnb's business does, then the business is subject to tax even if the business or its managers/workers never set foot in the jurisdiction.
But it appears Airbnb is owned and operated by morons who can't read or follow basic tax rules. I'm sorry, but being a moron is no excuse for willfully evading the laws. Let's hope the city enacts substantial fines and eventual jail time for multiple violations of its tax rules since obviously there are lots of businesses out there who like to ignore reasonable regulations and tax rules. Maybe some 6-figue fines and a few months in jail will help them learn that complying with laws helps create a more perfect and just society.
OK, OK, calm down! It's just that every source out there says that there must be a significant physical presence. Here is an example from the Journal of Accountancy:
So you see, I'm not really a moron, I just have trouble understanding why every source out there is wrong when they say that a significant physical presence.
Also, I buy stuff from eBay all the time and never pay a sales tax.
So again, they must all be wrong and you must be right.
Hey...maybe it's not me who is the moron!
Sales tax has to be charged only if the seller has a physical presence in the State of the purchaser. That's federal law - interstate commerce.
So all my Amazon purchases were always free of sales tax at the point of purchase, but as the buyer i am supposed to declare those purchases and pay the tax.
Amazon changed their policies recently because they want physical warehouses in each State for quicker delivery, but other online vendors still sell tax-free and I only used those, at least for big-ticket items.
Another good reason for this is simply a matter of collection and enforcement. If an entity is not in your jurisdiction then you can levy all the taxes you want. You just can never collect unless they volunteer.
The US Congress passed a special law to exempt sellers of tangible PERSONAL property from collecting tax - IF AND ONLY IF - the sellers of tangible PERSONAL property are merely conducting SOLICITING activities within the state. The law was designed to protect companies when they send traveling salesmen (and women) into states looking to drum up business, but it is not a blanket of protection that will cover Airbnb's willful tax evasion violations.
The law does not protect companies that actually sell within a state; the law does not protect companies that sell, rent or earn fees from REAL PROPERTY located in a state; and the law does not protect companies that perform activities that go beyond the MERE SOLICITATION of sales (such as signing contracts, performing repair services, maintaining a distribution center in the state, etc.)
Airbnb and its ilk do not sell personal property. End of story. But Airbnb appears to hire only morons who either can't read and figure out simple tax rules or have so many political and powerful law firm connections behind them they can tell the rest of society to "F___ Off, we're too cool to pay your stupid taxes."
They are selling the use of the most personal of all properties - your home!
You'd have been on stronger ground arguing that the interstate commerce provisions apply at the State level rather than at the municipal level.
But the common sense argument prevails here. Taxes apply at and in the location where the economic activity takes place. If the let was in SF then it really doesn't matter where the broker is located EXCEPT that the taxing authority has no jurisdiction over entities in other locations.
The IRS could ask tenants to withhold federal income tax from the rent they pay. Wanna argue that should happen too?
compute the hotel tax due then it would not be trying to shove the work off on an intermediary rather than do it themselves.
This is just SF being lazy and opportunistic. If AirBnB was based in Zurich, Dubai or Hong Kong, SF wouldn't even be trying this on. They'd be going after the hosts themselves.
To put this burden on AirBnB only because they are based in SF, but not on their competitiors, would be discriminatory and would no doubt cause AirBnB to relocate where they will be immune.
Oh, and there is no "law" about this yet. There is just an self-serving opinion by the SF tax collector. Hasn't been tested in the courts.
who lives in the US than you are with a visitor from another western country. Not only are their crime rates lower than the US anyway, but the ones who can afford to visit here are less likely to be criminals than most of the Americans on your block.
You're really just looking for an excuse to bash AirBnB if you're trying to claim that AirBnB guests are all anti-social foreign criminals. The exact opposite is much closer to the truth.
As to these short-term rentals reducing the amount of long-term affordable rental homes in SF, all I can say is a big fat "duh". It's rent control that makes it far more profitable to let your home short-term than long-term.
Repeal rent control and you will suddenly find lots more rentals available to you, and of course with the lower rents that extra supply always entails.
That's one of the best comments that I've seen anyone make of this issue, Rocket. Bravo. It's been baffling to me why the greedy kids who run Airbnb are fighting this battle.
Wow, gee, I'm shocked.
Not true. There are so many hosts on Airbnb, that in order to successfully rent your place you really can't charge more than what you're already paying to rent the place. You come out even, in my experience, and now with this tax I'll take a little hit.
>"There are many software programs that track sales and the related tax."
Please name one.
Name one software program that calculates and files up to date hotel occupancy taxes across all of the cities in all of the countries in the world that companies like AirBNB have hosts. Something like 40,000 cities in well over a hundred countries.
You said that there are many, so it shouldn't be hard for you to provide us with one name.
supposed to compute the Moscow tax due on a Swiss tourist staying in a Moscow home he found through a Dubai-based online competitor to AirBnB.

Dimercaprol is a chelating (KEE-late-ing) agent. A chelating agent is capable of removing a heavy metal, such as lead or mercury, from the blood.
Dimercaprol is used to treat poisoning with arsenic, gold, or mercury. It is also used together with another medication called edetate disodium (EDTA) to treat lead poisoning.
Dimercaprol may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about dimercaprol?
If possible, before you receive dimercaprol, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have liver or kidney disease.
Dimercaprol may contain peanut oil. Tell your caregivers if you have a peanut allergy.
In a poisoning situation, it may not be possible before you are treated to tell your caregivers about any health conditions you have or if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. However, make sure any doctor caring for you afterward knows that you have received this medication.
Dimercaprol is most effective when used within 1 or 2 hours after a poisoning. It may not be as effective in treating long-term poisoning.
What should I discuss with my health care provider before receiving dimercaprol?
If possible, before you receive dimercaprol, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have liver or kidney disease.
If you have any of these conditions, you may not be able to receive dimercaprol, or you may need a dose or special tests to safely receive this medication.

Five Ways to Get Girls into STEMMarch 7, 2013 | Karen D. Purcell,...
As a society, we learn about the world and advance our well being through science and engineering. The United States may be known around the world for its higher education, but compared to many other leading and steadily emerging countries, we lack a strong focus on educating scientists and engineers. One significant reason that we have fallen behind is that we do not encourage our female students to pursue career paths in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).
This needs to change, as the lack of women in STEM will continue to plague our country until all students, regardless of sex, have adequate opportunities to explore math and science throughout elementary, middle and high school. If we want to attract the best and brightest minds into the fields that will move us forward, we must look to all of the population. More women can contribute to our field, and we can help make that happen. Below are a few strategies for how we can help.
Expose Young Girls to STEM
As a country, we stand to gain a lot by exposing young girls to STEM fields and encouraging those who are interested to follow their hearts and minds. Simply focusing attention on one age group cannot cure all societal issues that influence career choices among females. Correcting the negative perceptions that girls develop at a young age can, however, lead them to embrace math and science when they reach high school, rather than avoid the subjects. Administrators and educators must strive to create environments in high school and college math and science programs that are inviting to females if we want to prevent the likelihood of their choosing a different direction. As long as young boys and girls are exposed to science and technology and are equally encouraged to study those disciplines, those with talent and a genuine interest in those fields will be able to develop that interest. Science and technology are and will continue to be important factors in what we are able to accomplish in our lifetimes.
Encourage Participation in Special Programs
More and more workshops are sprouting up nowadays that encourage young girls to maintain their interest in STEM fields. In-school and out-of-school programs are gaining popularity, and in order for that to continue, those of us in STEM fields have to support both local and national efforts to foster girls. Without understanding the opportunities that are available to students of math and science, young women may think they have made a mistake when facing the challenges of completing a STEM major. The good news is that current programs focused on increasing young girls' interest in those fields are tremendous. But without them, there are potential long-term consequences, even for girls who select a STEM path in college.
Support Learning Opportunities in the Community
Popular national clubs such as Girl Scouts of the USA have started to give added attention to introducing girls to STEM. There has been an improved focus on motivating young girls to explore typically male-dominated fields. This shows an important shift in thinking. Today the organization has really stepped up its programs to help ensure that girls succeed in all areas.
Companies and organizations that offer summer internships provide a chance for girls and women to learn more about different possibilities in the STEM fields. Many firms also now offer job shadowing programs or career days. Job shadowing allows those interested in a specific field to follow an individual already working in that field for a day or a given amount of time. This lets the observer see typical job duties and activities, and get a feel for what that job may entail.
Serve as a Mentor
The value of mentorship is irreplaceable. Finding a mentor early on can do wonders for building confidence and translating it into career satisfaction. The people that are chosen as mentors need to have the capacity and capability to lead young people toward success. A mentor is not only someone who is willing to spend time teaching techniques and processes, but also someone who takes an interest in long-term advancement. Mentoring is one of the most important confidence builders that can be found day to day on the job or in school. Teaming with a mentor is a career strategy that can bring huge benefits, especially to women in unbalanced work environments like engineering. Time and time again, the majority of successful women credit their participation in some sort of mentorship for dramatically helping them reach their career goals.
Take Charge and Educate
We're an information-rich society, and every one of us has access to vast resources -- they're available online for any women interested in the STEM fields. Women can visit the websites of multiple professional organizations such as the Society of Women Engineers, Women in Technology International, Association for Women in Mathematics and Association of Women in Science, to name just a few. These resources present a tremendous opportunity to learn a great deal about the field, about what it's like to be a woman in a specific STEM profession, about career opportunities, and so on. While it might not be as enlightening as face-to-face communication with a professional in the field, it will certainly give women an informed starting point from which they can grow.
As women become more prevalent in STEM careers, more and more young girls will begin to recognize the additional career opportunities open to them. With more women in the field, it will become more evident to young girls what they can offer the world.

My student teaching
My student teaching experience was completed at a STEM school. Here, all the students, girls and boys, find the joy of science and mathematics. It is very interesting to see how my students comment and assess things differently than peers in other schools in the same district. The girls are exploring and questioning. They enjoy going outside and examining the world around them. They have learned and now commonly use the scientific method when they come across something they do not know. I think that introducing these students, especially the females, to this different way of thinking will really set them apart from their peers and allow them to go far in life.
All-girl HS classes
I recently encountered an interesting approach to this problem - creating "all girl" sections of engineering courses: http://www.pltw.org/recent-press-releases/bridging-engineering-gender-gap
The results seem to be incredibly promising (and more importantly - replicable). Our school is currently exploring implementing this "all-girls" section approach for next year (assuming we get enough to sign up). I'd be interested to know if others are taking this approach...
All Kids are Scientists
Encouraging girls to explore the sciences using encouragement and equity will yield many more Madam Curies and Mae Jemisons. A positive word from Teacher always helps, too.

Report: Reclaiming Our Democracy
Contribution Limits And Competitiveness
For years, academics, political theorists, and campaign finance reformers have debated the causal relationship between campaign contribution limits and the outcome of elections. Some argue that limiting campaign contributions amounts to "incumbent protection;" others contend that limits make challengers more competitive. This study is the first of its kind to comprehensively examine the states with contribution limits and empirically measure changes in competitiveness. Based on an analysis of 30,000 elections in 45 states, this study found that campaign contribution limits slightly favor challengers by reducing the incumbent margin of victory. The chief findings are:
• Placing limits on individual contributions reduces the vote margin in state House races for all candidates first elected after the limits have gone into effect by 7.6%. Incumbents who were first elected prior to the enactment of contribution limits see their races become closer by 3.1% due to contribution limits. Placing contribution limits on PACs, corporations, labor unions and parties also reduces margins of victory.
• The lower the limit, the tighter the election. When controlling for the number of candidates in a race, lowering the contribution limit by $1,000 leads to a decrease in the margin of victory by three percentage points for races involving incumbents, and 2.6 percentage points for all races.
• Because most incumbents win by very large margins, reducing contribution limits by $2,000 in every state would have led to just four percent of successful incumbents losing their reelection bids. So while contribution limits do make elections closer, they do not dramatically reduce incumbent reelection rates.

Glendale >Carrabba's Italian Grill
5646 West Bell Road, Glendale, AZ | Directions 8530833.639244 -112.180884
M-Th 4pm-10pm, F 4pm-11pm, Sa 11am-11pm, Su 11am-9pm
Very disappointing experience! After calling for a reservation that was not honored and being told a 10-15 minute wait ending up to being a 45+ wait to be seated. Was told a manager will come to speak to us and that did not even happen... I'd advise to drive to another location as I will be going to have a great experience as I have had at other locations!
An open kitchen churns out wood-fired pizzas and fresh-made pastas at this casual Sicilian-American chain. – In Short
Decorated with family photos of founders Damian Mandola and Johnny Carrabba, the open dining rooms pack groups of friends and extended families into four- and six-person tables and booths; smaller parties or couples can grab stools at the open kitchen's adjoining bar to watch chefs make dinner. The traditional southern Italian menu offers grill specialties like steak Marsala and fire-roasted chicken breast with sun-dried tomatoes; pasta dishes include fettuccine Alfredo and garlic-sauteed shrimp with linguine.
Great italian – I sorta got introduced to this place on a really bad date, but the food was great and I've gone back a zillion times and brought my current beau with me. The best thing about this place is that everything is good - the food, service, staff, dessert, mood. That's why I keep going back. They make great amaretto sours and if you're there make sure you get the Mezzaluna or the Pasta Carrabba they kick butt.
Good food with good friendly people – When i first got there i was greeted with friendly happy smiling hostesses, and the wait was a resanable one. We got seated ( i went with three family members) all picked out what we wanted to eat. the waiters were very friendly and cheacked up on us frequently. We got our food, and one plate had a delay but that was a 5minute delay which was worth while, the lasagna was terrific. Overall the experiance was a good one, the mood was light and it was a fun place to be at.
Better than Olive Garden for sure! – Great food, great service, great drinks but a little crowded...to be expected though! Will definitley come back. I thought it was better than the Olive Garden and I'm sure they are competing for business now!

Whether you're buying groceries or hitting the store for a new outfit, your carefree days of perusing the aisles and racks are numbered...unless you leave the kiddos at home! Every woman thinks that her offspring will be the exception, but eventually just about every tot throws up, pitches a fit, or climbs into a clothing rack. Here are some pointers on how to deal with the dreaded mall trips. Source: Getty Figure Out the Way to Roll What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A grocery cart can carry many kids! Motherhood is the mother of invention. Once you've got a few children, life — shopping, lugging, carrying, and carting is a juggle! I've tried a myriad of ways to manage my three kids while we're out running errands — one in the front of the cart, one in the back, and one riding it like a scooter or two walking and one in the stroller — but every woman has her own preference depending on the store. Figure out what combination of things including a baby carrier or buggy work for you and roll with it! Source: Getty 1 / 5 The Art of Distraction What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When you take a tot to a toy store, the child will likely want something. Set a shopping list and stick to it by skipping the aisles that you don't need to go down. Challenge the youngsters to a game of I Spy and see if they can spot and get the goods first! Then, tally all the points while you wait in the checkout line. Source: Getty 2 / 5 Exhaust Their Energy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Before you go shopping, head to the park for a few hours of tag or sandcastle building to get your child's energy out. They'll be less likely to take off while you're making purchases when physically fatigued. If you have to buy a big ticket item like a car or an appliance, research it online first. This cuts down on in-person questions and the overall time you'll need to occupy your offspring. Source: Thinkstock 3 / 5 The Dressing Room Trick What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Not all dressing rooms are created equal. Handicap ones (when they aren't occupied) are a mom's best bet. The large changing areas easily accommodate a stroller and normally have seating so the kids can sit and won't be as tempted to pop open the door, escape or peek under the partitions while you are changing. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 5 Shop When Opportunity Knocks What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The green light often comes when you least expect it. If your babe is soundly sleeping, make a mad dash to the mall! While he slumbers in the stroller, stock up. In the event that he wakes up and howls, be happy you brought your sense of humor.

I worked at E*TRADE Financial full-time
Pros – Good place for a young person starting out in the securities industry to get licensed and learn a few things. They pay for your licensing. You don't really have to take your work home with you.
Cons – Low pay. It's a call center. Low employee morale. Every second of your day is micromanaged. Rude customers. Promotions are actually just lateral moves to other departments doing the same thing. Company touts promoting from within but sought after positions are filled outside.
Advice to Senior Management – De-emphasize the "CE" requirement. Many excellent reps do not receive the recognition they should because they choose to not abuse the referral system like other reps. Being able to "put on over" on management with inflated referral leads shouldn't be rewarded. Top referral performers are the least likely to allow others to observe their habits for a reason.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Direct-Q® 3, 5, 8 Laboratory Water Purification System
• The Direct-Q® lab water purification systems produce pure and ultrapure water from potable tap water
• A choice of dispensers provides convenient point-of-use ultrapure water delivery
• The Direct-Q® systems are compact all-in-one systems that economize laboratory space
The expanded and updated Direct-Q® range now includes models capable of supplying 50, 100 or 150 liters of pure water per day, and up to 30 liters per hour of ultrapure water. Systems are also available with an integrated dispenser. Users can choose a system with an integrated 6-liter reservoir, or a configuration that includes a 30- or 60-liter reservoir, depending on their volume needs
The high-quality ultrapure water produced by the systems is suitable for critical applications – such as chromatography work; the preparation of blanks and standard solutions in spectrophotometry, spectroscopy and other analytical techniques; and the preparation of buffers for biochemical experiments. Pure water from the system can be used for general glassware washing.
In addition, water quality can be "fine-tuned" to meet specific requirements. Direct-Q® systems are available with a built-in 185/254 nm UV lamp, which serves to reduce the level of organics for critical applications such as HPLC work, as well as destroy bacteria. EMD Millipore's range of Application Pak polishers provides further tailor-made water quality for researchers who need water free of particulates, pyrogens, bacteria, nucleases, endocrine disrupters or VOCs.
System parameters are easily visible on the intuitive color graphic displays, and documentation, including a concise "Quick Reference Guide," can be stored on the unit. Regular maintenance is minimal with an all-in-one SmartPak® cartridge that can be replaced easily and quickly.

Alexandria, Va. - March 24, 2010
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) today announced that Bruce T. Roberts, RPh, has decided to conclude his eight-year tenure as Executive Vice President and CEO on June 25, 2010. NCPA's leaders have started the search for an executive who can build on the many accomplishments under Roberts' direction and lead the well-positioned association to serve its members in the future. "After nearly nine years at the helm of NCPA, the time seems right to turn over the reins of the association," Roberts said. "I'm proud to have led a team that has done so much to position community pharmacy in a more favorable light in our health care system. The stronger voice we've developed for NCPA in the political arena is producing policies that help local pharmacists continue to care for their patients. With NCPA on solid footing and well positioned to do great things in the coming years, I have decided it's time for me to move on to the next chapter." "Bruce Roberts' vision and passion for independent community pharmacy have greatly benefitted NCPA members and his service has been deeply appreciated," said NCPA President and Arlington, TX pharmacy owner Joseph H. Harmison, PD. "Bruce helped NCPA develop into both an extremely effective advocate for community pharmacists as well as a source of market-oriented solutions to support our members. On behalf of NCPA's Executive Committee, I and many others wish him all the best and know that he will continue to be an energetic supporter of community pharmacists and their patients." "At the same time, the opportunities and challenges before independent community pharmacists wait for no one," Harmison added. "So the association's leaders have already started the search for the right leader to guide NCPA to new heights in advocacy for and support of our members. NCPA's next CEO will inherit a strong organization with vibrant members who are true pillars in their communities and in the health care system. We're also taking steps to ensure that NCPA doesn't miss a beat in the interim." NCPA Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer B. Douglas Hoey, MBA, RPh, has been designated to serve as Acting Executive Vice President and CEO after Roberts' departure in June and until a replacement is named. Roberts will join BeneCard PBF as President and CEO. The company was founded by Richard Ullman, RPh, who has deep roots in pharmacy and pharmacy benefits management. As a prescription benefit facilitator (PBF), BeneCard is a transparent alternative to the traditional pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) model. "In joining BeneCard, I hope to bring about meaningful change in the world of the pharmacy benefit management," Roberts said. "BeneCard's success in the marketplace demonstrates that there is a better way, built on core principles such as absolute transparency and an aligned interest between the beneficiary, plan and the pharmacy. I see this next chapter as a logical extension of the work we've done at NCPA over the last eight years. That is, to bring about positive change to advance pharmacy's role in our health care system and reversing the commoditization of what we do as pharmacists." The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA®) represents America's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 22,700 independent community pharmacies, pharmacy franchises, and chains. Together they represent an $88 billion health-care marketplace, employ over 65,000 pharmacists, and dispense over 40% of all retail prescriptions.

There are many forms of sexual misconduct that fall under Gonzaga's policy. For specifics, please see the Student Handbook at www.gonzaga.edu/studenthandbook. A few common forms are highlighted below to give you some ideas of how to notice the behaviors and what to do.
Stalking isn't just someone creepy following you. It's someone who persistently and continuously contacts you again that your wishes, someone who continuously calls and texts after having been told to stop, someone who just always seems to show up wherever you are. Stalking goes on after the person has been asked to stop. Examples of stalking type behaviors include:
- Continuing contact after requested not to
- Always seeming to "show up" where the other person is
- Unwanted contact via phone, mail, electronic means (e-mail, social networking sites, etc)
- Leaving unwanted gifts
- Threats, intimidation, or intrusive behavior
- Breaking into car, house, etc.
At Gonzaga, stalking that is based on your sex or gender is considered a violation of Title IX and is considered sexual misconduct. Stalking that is not based on sex or gender is still a violation of Gonzaga's policies.
If you want someone to stop contacting you, don't be afraid to be direct and firm about saying that you aren't interested or requesting that this person stop contacting you. This conversation can be hard-sometimes people are worried about being mean, and instead become too nice in how they say something. Being too nice or leaving an opening for future communication could be interpreted as an open invitation. Don't worry about coming off as rude-being blunt, direct, and firm is very important. Have a friend or support person with you when you have this conversation. This person is there not only to support you, but also to witness this conversation.
Unfortunately, technology such as social networking sites has made stalking much easier. Remove personal information, such as address and cell phone numbers from your accounts. Lock your profile so that only those you allow can see information about you. Don't post information online about where you are going or who you are with.
If you feel you are being stalked, contact Campus Security (509-313-2222) or Spokane Police (911) immediately. It's important that you report what is happening so that you can receive support and assistance. Click on the Support and Resources tap on the left to learn more about support and assistance that is available.
Intimate Partner Violence (Domestic Violence)
Intimate partner violence includes situations in which one partner is physically, emotionally or sexually abused by the other partner. Intimate partner violence can occur between individuals who are dating, married, sexually intimate, or who reside together. Intimate partner violence can occur between individuals of the same or opposite sex. This is often commonly referred to as domestic or dating violence.
Intimate partner violence, commonly referred to by students as domestic violence, is something that many students think could never happen to them. It can take many forms including physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. This type of violence is often about control over another person. In most cases, domestic abuse starts with small things-threats, nitpicking, or verbal insults, and moves to physical abuse. Domestic violence doesn't only happen in heterosexual relationships. In fact, the rate of domestic violence in same-sex relationships is roughly the same as domestic violence committed by heterosexual mean against heterosexual women. Domestic violence that is based on sex or gender is a violation of Title IX and is also a violation of Gonzaga's sexual misconduct policy. Domestic abuse or violence that is not based on sex or gender is still a violation of Gonzaga's Student Code of Conduct.
The first sign of an abusive relationship may be realizing that you are afraid of your partner. Here are some other signs of an abusive relationship:
- Excessive jealousy
- Constantly wanting to know where you are, who you are with, when you will be back
- Isolating you from friends or family
- Constant insults, put downs or criticism
- Have an unpredictable temper or blow up constantly
- Hurt or threaten you
- Threaten to hurt him/herself if you leave
- Humiliating or yelling in private or in front of others
- Criticize you for never doing anything right
Gonzaga wants to help and support those who have been or are being affected by domestic violence. Please click on the SUPPORT AND RESOURCES tab at the left for more information about Gonzaga and local resources that are available.
Sexual Assault
Sexual assault includes having or attempting non-consensual vaginal, anal, or oral penetration, however slight, with any object or body part, with another person. This includes intercourse or attempted intercourse under circumstances where the other person does not consent, where the other person is incapacitated and that incapacitation is reasonable apparent , and/or including the use or threat of coercion or force. . Sexual assault happens against someone's consent and without a mutual agreement between parties involved.
Many things can impact how someone reacts after sexual assault, including how well the persons involved knew each other, where it happened, and the level of violence involved. Some people recover very quickly; for others, it may take a long time. It is not uncommon for survivors of sexual misconduct to blame themselves for what happened to them. The hardest thing about sexual violence is that the person who experienced it has had control taken away from him/her. Comments such as, "I shouldn't have drank so much" or "I should have known better than to be alone with him" are common and frequent. Reinforce the message that (s)he is not at fault.
Various kinds of support are important after an incident of sexual misconduct. Medical attention may be necessary to address healthcare needs such as STD testing, injuries and other needs. Getting prompt medical attention can also allow for the collection of evidence that is very important should filing a police report be pursued. Students considering filing a police report should have evidence collected at a local hospital within 72 hours of a sexual assault.
Assaults can have significant impacts on a person's emotional wellness. Counseling and other support services are often vital. There is free counseling available at Gonzaga, and through local agencies and services. Please see the Support and Resources tab on the left for more information about Gonzaga and local resources that are available.

Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata insists he is solely concentrating on playing football amid transfer speculation that he could make a move away from Stamford Bridge.
Mata, 25, has been influential since his 2011 switch from Valencia, being named the club's Player of the Year twice in a row and also featuring in last season's Premier League Team of the Year.
However, with the reinstallation of Jose Mourinho as Blues manager, Mata has been linked with a departure from west London and has reportedly attracted the interest of Spanish champions Barcelona.
Mata, who is currently on international duty with Spain at the Confederations Cup, rubbished talk he was set for an exit from the club and with his nation facing Tahiti on Thursday, he is completely focused on playing football.
"Obviously it's tough, talking about it physically, but I don't feel down, I still feel fresh and all I want is to play as many games as I can," Mata is quoted by Sky Sports as saying.
"I really enjoyed this season. It was a tough and long for us, but at the end we won a trophy so it was good.
"I really love to play with my national team, so all I can do is train and look forward to playing, because I love to play football."
Mata is not the only Chelsea player to be linked with Barca, as compatriot Fernando Torres has recently played down reports of a summer return to Spain.

i was very impressed with this soap. it lasts for a long time and it is very effective. it cleared my skin and kept it clear.
It's pretty drying. I have to wear a moisturizing toner and a moisturizer after washing my face with it. For a while it kept my combination-oily skin that's prone to breakouts pretty clear, but lately I've been breaking out again. I'm starting to alternate between a few face washes, two of which are creamy, nondrying washes, so maybe that will balance it out. My skin is pretty sensitive, and I can't use this every day anymore. The bar lasts a while, though. I bought it about 5 months ago and I'm about halfway through the bar, so that's a plus.
I purchased this product because my skin was irritated by the soaps I have been buying recently. Since using this product my skin has had fewer problems and is feeling softer! I would purchase this again.
Perfect for daily use. I've used it as an exfoliant with a loofa, for shaving and on my face. Smell is a little odd but doesn't linger. Keep in as dry of a place as possible, you get more use of the bar when it dries after use.
I bought this for my teenage son. He has problems with blemishes and blackheads and we've tried so many other products. He's been using this for the last week or so and I've seen an improvement in his skin. He has fewer blemishes and the overall feel to his skin is better. He said he feels the need to moisturize after using the bar, and he's not thrilled about the scent, but he's pleased with the results.
I really liked the tingling feeling while washing my face with the soap. I will try it for a month to see if really does help with battling my blemishes.
My husband ended up using this to was his face and body. He's a welder and gets pretty dirty. I use it when a zit pops up overnight. It works great.
This soap does it all- and I am extremely picky about cleansers. My skin is breakout prone, so I demand a lot from my cleanser- remove makeup, no residue, don't strip my skin, don't break me out... phew! i had read about African black soap and I was motivated to have a simple cleaner with good natural ingredients. I'm not a freak about organic, but natural is always a good option. This soap does the job extremely well: it removes all my makeup, doesn't clog or dry out my skin, and leaves it extremely soft. Plus it lasts sooo long- one bar can easily last one year. Tip- cut it off in pieces to use at a time, and put it on a slatted soap dish so it doesn't sit in water.
I bought this because I had read a few articles about black soap being good for acne prone skin. I have a light complexion. My skin feels wonderfully clean after washing with it but after a week or so I noticed that my pores on checks, forehead and nose seemed much darker. I stopped using it and went back to my normal routine and my pores went back to normal as well. It may help complexion but I would recommend maybe alternating it with an exfoliate scrub. I'm not sure if I will buy again.
OMG I love this soap. I have Lupus and I have skin that brakes out easily. I use the soap in the pm and it clears up and softens overnight
