LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
The Karli Parker Express continues to roll on as she scored all three goals in South Laurel's 3-0 win over visiting Boone County Saturday.
In three games, the talented junior has scored 13 of South Laurel's 17 goals. While she has done the bulk of the scoring, Coach Todd White was quick to point out that the entire team is contributing, especially in this game where the Lady Cards were without three players and dressed only 14 for the match. That left them three substitutes on a very hot day.
"It's good to have a player like Karli, but it takes a whole team to win," White said. "From almost start to finish we came out and took it to them (Boone). The heat did get to us, and we bent but never broke. The players didn't complain even though I had to put some of them in different positions. They did what they had to do."
White said he used the United States National Team as an example for his team on this challenging day.
"Abby (Wambach) and Alex (Morgan) never complain about the heat," White said. "They go out and do their job and when the game ends they are smiling. They are good roles models."
Two of Parker's goals came in the first half, in the 9th and 40th minutes, to give the Lady Cards a 2-0 advantage at the break. Her third goal came one minute into the second half to up the lead to 3-0. From there it was the defense that stepped up and kept the Lady Rebels off the scoreboard.
"Baily (Miller, South's keeper) said this was the best game our defense has played," White said. "They all covered for each other. Alex Davenport stepped up; I can see her role increasing. With three players missing, we had to become mentally tough and that's what we are doing."
White said he also saw the level of playing improving in his team and that the rest of the state is starting to take notice.
"We have to take pride in the fact that we are from an area that doesn't take notice and if our town doesn't take notice then the rest of the state will," White said.
The Lady Cardinals played host to Southwestern Tuesday night and will be at Madison Southern Thursday.

Empowerment Concepts was founded in 1995 to provide a vehicle to combine the experience and skills of David Patient and Neil Orr, with a specific focus upon the psychosocial aspects of living with HIV, based upon research findings regarding long terms survivors and PNI (Psychoneuroimmunology).
However, it became apparent that such principles and methods were equally effective in non-HIV areas, including personal empowerment and leadership development in corporate settings.
Although Empowerment Concepts is well known for its' Wellness programmes (Positive Living, Peer Educator Revitalisation, Primary health, nutrition, VCT, treatment advocacy), as well as Emotional and Relational Intelligence trainings (Leadership Development, Personal Empowerment, Values Counselling), its' reputation is founded upon its' pragmatic ability to create, adapt and customise programmes for its' clients, which include corporate, government, and NGO's, in diverse settings.
The approach and methods of Empowerment Concepts are influenced by Spiral Dynamics (method and design determined by prevailing group value systems), Neurolinguistic Programming (pragmatic change methodology), and Psychoneuroimmunology research (seeking physical evidence for psychosocial change processes).

on a comment on Ralph Reed Declares for GA Lt. Gov, Dems Show Signs of Life over 9 years agoaccording to a diary at Kos, a poll shows Hecht is actually leading Reed in the race. Early, but encouraging. I think Oxendine is the front runner right now. Plus, supposedly a lot of Republicans hate Ralph Reed for some reason, maybe cuz he didnt pay his dues, he wasnt there for the hard years, I dont know, I've heard something like that. I think we got a great shot at taking back the Governor's mansion with either Cox or Taylor.
comment on a post Bush Losing Ground In SS Deabte over 9 years agorevealed or admitted, that PSAs dont even fix the solvency problem?? So I think some began to realize, "Why the fuck do we need them?" You could get an IRA if you wanted. Also, Politicalwire.com notes that NH Dems were ready for his visit to the state, presumably tot push PSAs, and he got a cool receptions, with many empty chairs. Guess you wouldnt have to sign a loyalty pledge now.
comment on a post Could Pennsylvania Have two Senate Races in 2006? over 9 years agolike that could happen in CT, although not likely. If Liberman is defeated in a primary(unlikely) and Dodd runs for Gov, in Jan 2007, there could two next senators from CT.
on a comment on PA-Sen, RI-Sen: Santorum Vulnerable, Chafee Finished over 9 years agowhat about governor? Can we defeated Carcieri? Brown might want to go that way, and it might help Langevin down ticket.
comment on a post Republicans in the blogosphere want Rice in '08, will settle for Bush over 9 years agoand I certainly dont listen to slimey Dick Morris, but I think Hilary could probably beat anyone other than McCain and Giuliani.
on a comment on Senate 2006 Update over 9 years agoyeah I've heard this too. Kerry got 46% in MO, I believe, and he completely wrote it off. MO is more moderate I think, but not staunchly conservative.
on a comment on Senate 2006 Update over 9 years agoYup. This is what Tom Carper did too. He said he wants PSA which dont add to the debt, or cuts benefits. Well, hell, I'm for a plan like that too. :). So next year, Carper can say, " i wanted to work with the prez on SS reform, but his plan will cut benefits....."
comment on a post Potential 2008 Candidates, Part 1 over 9 years agoVP pick. He has 18 years in the Senate, but has been away from Washington for sometime. I think he endorsed Dean for prez. So maybe VP, but not at the top.
comment on a post Potential 2008 Candidates, Part 3 over 9 years agoI agree with Johnny. I think Harry Reid is doing a good job, but I think if we get the majority back or sometime in the future when we have a majority, Durbin should be the majority leader. I really like him though. If he wins the primaries, he gets my vote 100%. Actually, he might not make a bad VP candidate, especially if someone more moderate is at the top...
comment on a post Bush Approval Rating sinks to 49% in new Gallup Poll over 9 years agoAP had him at 45%, with 54% disapproving. Faux News had Bush at 51% last week; Newsweek at 50%. All those are from pollingreport.com Even Rasmussen's daily approval had him around 50. So 50-51 seems to be a ceiling not a floor. Isnt it interesting that CNN(at least there website) hasnt reported the Gallup numbers, but made a front page story of his 57%?

The Blount County School Board debated lowering the academic credits needed to graduate high school to balance with the new state standards that will start in the 2009-2010 school year.
Tennessee's new requirements will include additional courses in math, foreign languages and science. On top of the new courses, it will take students 22 credits to graduate with a state diploma rather than the current 21. At Blount County, it takes students 28 credits to graduate with a local Blount County diploma. This year, the board allowed students to request state diplomas and 30 students took advantage of the lower requirements.
The board moved the measure to the policy committee and did not take any action as the members were concerned over the educational value of lower standards. "Are we trying to educate our kids or graduate our kids," board member Mike Treadway said. Board member John Davis said he believes students in Blount County want to take more than the state's requirements. "Twenty-one credits are a base," he said. "We at Blount County go beyond that base. We are better than that."
Jane Morton, supervisor of grades 6-12, said if the board decides to lower the graduation rate there will be three different graduation policies next year, and each student will have the ability to graduate early with a state diploma. "Kids know that it is there, and we will have more requests," Morton said.
Patty Mandigo, principal at Heritage High School, said students asking for a state diploma need a written statement from parents which is sent to a counselor and is then approved by the principal. Her school had 10 state diplomas, and they were only approved because of "extenuating circumstances."
Steve Lafon, William Blount's principal, said some of the 20 students that received a state diploma from his school just wanted to start working. "They had to get out and start making money to support their families," he said.
Legally the board cannot keep a student from graduating after he receives 21 credits. Davis said that if he was still in high school, and he needed fewer credits, that's all he would do. "If they let me have 12. I'd have 12," he said.
In a few years, the early graduation loophole will close as new state requirements will force students to take one math course every year, Morton said.
One item the board did lower is the number of days that a student can be absent. Currently a student is allowed to miss 10 days a semester, excused or unexcused, before the student loses class credit. Now students can only miss seven days before there is loss of credit.
Morton said the policy committee all agreed that 10 days was too many and seven was a better fit. Once a student misses more than seven days of school, he can appeal the loss of credit. This new policy does not count school activities as missed days.
The board also heard from Supervisor of Technology and Facilities Brian Bell's recommendation to tear down the Porter Elementary School stadium and press box. He said the area was unsafe and needed to be addressed. The item was sent to committee for recommendation.
In addition, Bell read a letter from the city saying Porter Elementary is breaking the law with the amount of grease released into the sewer system. He said the city wants the grease trap replaced by next year and is now awaiting bids.

Blount County's largest bank is bringing jobs back to Maryville.
First Tennessee announced on Wednesday, June 30, plans to begin in-house management of its computer technology infrastructure, which will bring 65 information technology jobs to a bank-staffed Maryville data center that has been sitting empty in Blount Industrial Park.
The technology infrastructure will include all servers and mainframe. The 65 jobs will be staffed in the next three to 18 months.
The data center function is presently contracted to an independent IT service provider. In addition, technology purchasing and remote check capture employees will be relocated to the data center site from their current Knoxville locations. At full capacity, a total of 110 employees will work from the Maryville center including new and relocated employees.
"We are delighted to resume operations at our Blount Industrial Park facility and to bring new jobs to Blount County," said Greg Wilson, First Tennessee-Maryville regional president. "It is a significant development to have this building return to use and bring more spending power to Blount County."
The project has received support from the Blount Chamber, Blount Economic Development Board, City of Maryville and Blount County government.
"I'm proud to be a part of First Tennessee's announcement," said Fred Forster, president and CEO of Blount Partnership. "The 65 new jobs are positive signs that the Blount County economy is turning around. Blount County government, city officials and the economic development board have been working with the leadership of First Tennessee for the past year in helping them occupy this facility, and I'm pleased to see it come to fruition."
First Tennessee's roots in Blount County trace back to 1885, when the Bank of Maryville obtained its charter. The bank's Maryville headquarters moved to the corner of Cusick Street and Broadway in 1932, and this location remains First Tennessee's main office in Maryville today. The Bank of Maryville was subsequently merged into First Tennessee Bank on April 30, 1983.
"We're thrilled to have one of Maryville's oldest businesses in a position to increase their presence in our community," said Maryville City Manager Greg McClain. "The First Tennessee team continues to be leaders in our community, and the bank is a model corporate citizen statewide."
First Tennessee is the largest bank in Blount County, according to the latest deposit market share report from the FDIC, with more than 22 percent of the market share in the county as of June 30, 2009.
First Tennessee is placing increased emphasis on information technology enhancements as part of the company's corporate strategy. The new data center is part of that process.
"The desire to serve our customers better than any other bank is what's driving us to bring our technology management back inside the company," said Bruce Livesay, executive vice president and chief information officer for First Horizon National Corp., the parent company of First Tennessee. "We'll be able to more quickly respond to our customers' needs and the changes that are required of banks that want to compete in today's dynamic marketplace."

Windows Phone 7 Series Interface - Engadget
There's quite a bit of negative feedback floating around the internets about the new Windows Mobile OS. Some of it is warranted… but only some. Microsoft has made a pretty bold move with the design of this OS and we need to give some credit where credit is due. There are still a few rough edges, but I think the overall direction is looking very very nice.

For three months, a new "morning after pill" is available which not only 3, but five days after unprotected sexual intercourse or acts. It is based on the drug ulipristal acetate, which acts similar to preparations for early abortion.
He had been employed are used Levornogestrel drug within three hours, then stay for another 120 hours to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. The effectiveness of the new drug is as good as that of levonorgestrel. But both also applies: the earlier they are used, the more certain they work. Levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestin that ovulation depending on the administration time prevented or delayed. The structure of the uterine lining is disturbed, and a fertilized egg can not settle. Is it already come to an implantation, does not levonorgestrel.
Ulipristal acetate inhibits the other hand, progestin effects by binding to the Progesteronrezptor. The female sex hormone progesterone from the group of progestins during pregnancy regulates the growth of the embryo and provides it with nutrients. By inhibiting ovulation progesterone ulipristal acetate is disrupted and replaced the lining of the uterus. This is then shed as a menstrual period.
The "pill for even longer after that" is already in Germany, France and Great Britain on the market. Common side effects include abdominal pain and headaches or nausea. A possible pre-existing pregnancy at a later stage should be excluded from taking it, as there are no studies on the malformation risk. A pregnancy test with a doctor is essential.

Cross-posted from Solutions Journal.
Founder and editor of Adbusters magazine, Kalle Lasn is largely credited for conceptualizing and starting the Occupy Wall Street protests in Zuccotti Park, New York City, which eventually spread around the world. Here, he talks to Solutions about his vision for the future.
Q. You have been trying to change consumer culture for years. How did the idea for Occupy Wall Street begin?
A. It began in early 2011. It was percolating in 2010. We were excited by the anarchist action in Greece and discontent among young people in Spain, and the Arab Spring began in Tunisia and spread to Egypt, and we saw how young people in Egypt were using social media to get tons of people out to the streets and pull off regime change. Our brainstorming sessions at Adbusters began and we said, "We need a regime change in America as well." Not hard regime change like Egypt where dictators were torturing people. We are after a soft regime change. We felt the heart of American democracy and found that, in Washington, D.C., things were rotten and corporations were getting their own way with lobbyists and money power. Wall Street people have created a global casino, and meanwhile young people are having a hard time finding jobs and are losing their houses. So let's try to create a Tahrir Square moment in America.
Q. How do you feel about how the protests ended? Did they flame out, or was it a success? What lessons were learned?

The best word to describe Silver Creek's run to a Class 3A North Harrison Sectional championship is simply "unbelievable."
The young Dragons got the worst draw possible, but they knocked off No. 13 Madison 55-51, blew out No. 6 Corydon Central 74-51 and shocked No. 7 Brownstown Central 37-36 for their first sectional title since 2000.
"You know what, it's still unbelievable to us," Creek coach Brandon Hoffman said. "We kind of knew that [winning the sectional] next year was what people thought. Our motto was kind of 'Why not us.' Wouldn't it be really cool if we knock off these three teams and do something special?"
At any point in the season against any draw, the Dragons knew that they'd have to win the sectional as underdogs. After losing their first three games of the regular season — and four of their last five — they became serious underdogs.
The regular season concluded with a 61-51 home loss to Seymour, a team that was 2-16 entering the game.
"It was a combination of a lot of things," Hoffman explained. "I think it was fatigue. I think it was frustration. [Center Christian] Reed didn't play the last week. It was definitely a low period for us. But even after we lost to Seymour, [senior Brooks Howell] stood up in the lockerroom and said 'Let's forget about this. We're going to win the sectional.'"
— Sports editor Greg Mengelt
Freshman Isaac Hibbard showed in Saturday night's Class 4A Seymour Sectional championship game that his future is bright at New Albany.
The 5-foot-9 guard scored nine of his 12 points in the final quarter in the Bulldogs' 55-49 victory over Jennings County. Hibbard hit two 3-pointers early in the period and then converted a crucial three-point play to help New Albany build a 48-40 advantage with about five minutes remaining in regulation.
"[Bulldogs' senior Leondre McBirth] found him and he hit two big shots for us," New Albany senior guard Dustin Cochran said about Hibbard. "We just took the momentum away from them."
Hibbard showed some maturity and poise late in the contest when he inbounded the ball without incident against the Panthers' full-court press. In fact, with 31.8 seconds left in the fourth and New Albany up 51-47, Hibbard calmly called a timeout when he could not find an open teammate while trying to inbound the ball.
"I think Hibbard has ice water in his veins. He does not fold under pressure," Bulldogs' coach Jim Shannon said. "Sometimes I can look at kids and they fold, but that kid can take it. I give it to them and I know he can take it. He's the leader of the future for us and he certainly gave us some leadership tonight."
Saturday's fourth-quarter performance was one of several examples this season where Hibbard has elevated his game to help New Albany succeed.
"What can you say about the Hibbard kid?" Shannon said. "I mean, my gosh, he's a freshman and he's stepped up big in every game."
— Staff writer Kevin Harris
Winning a sectional is special no matter how it happens. When nearly the whole team contributes to the cause, it becomes even more memorable.
Everyone knows that second-ranked Clarksville features two of the best players in Southern Indiana in Andrew Jones and Calvin McEwen. And while that duo played well in the tournament, it was players like Marquise Parrish, Evan Guenthner, Ahem Yennes, Wyatt Kissel and D.J. Coleman who stepped up to held the Generals win their second straight sectional title.
"We had seven, eight guys that did some big things for us," Clarksville coach Jason Connell said. "Everybody played a big, big part in winning the sectional."
Parrish lifted the Generals past No. 8 Crawford County in the first round and Guenthner had a big game in the semifinal win over Eastern. Kissel, who missed much of the season after sustaining a knee injury during football season, was all over the boards in the final two games.
"He's finally healthy," Connell said. "He's not even in real basketball shape yet."
Then there's the case of Coleman. The senior played sparingly a year ago but worked to become the Generals' top rebounder and defender and the team's No. 3 scoring option.
"He was really focused [during the sectional]," Connell said of Coleman. "The main thing with D.J. is he has worked so hard in the weight room. He is a strong kid. I think that helped his confidence. He's been our leading rebounder and, when called on to make big shots, he has. He's played a vital, vital role. He's done a lot of things to help us win a lot of games this year."
Jones left Saturday's championship game late with a hip injury. He went into the lockerroom with the team trainer and didn't return to the game.
Jones apparently landed on the hip late in Saturday's 41-32 win over Providence and was diagnosed with a bruised AC joint. He was limited in practice Monday but Connell said he should be perfectly healthy for Saturday morning's regional semifinal against Mid-Southern Conference rival Austin.
Defending state champion Borden's run in the Class A tournament ended in the first round after a 67-48 loss to Rock Creek Academy.
It was, of course, a bitter way for the Braves' season to end. Looking at Borden's season objectively, however, it's extraordinary what it accomplished.
After losing four starters from last year's state championship team, the undersized Braves went 16-5 and had four winning streaks of at least four games.
After Friday's loss, Borden coach Doc Nash wasn't ready to look at the upside of the 2014 season quite yet.
"Some may say we overachieved," he said. "Our expectations are to [win sectionals]. I think if you ask those kids, they'd tell you the same thing."
Coleman had a game-high 16 points in the Generals' 68-55 first-round win over Crawford County, another 20 points in Friday's 67-45 semifinal victory over Eastern and had 11 points and six rebounds in Saturday's 41-32 championship game win over rival Providence.
• Leondre McBirth, New Albany: McBirth went 8 for 16 from the field, 7 of 9 from the line and made five of his nine 3-point shots as the Bulldogs beat Jennings County 55-49 to wrap up the Class 4A Seymour Sectional title.
• Tanner Wesp, Charlestown: Wesp went 11 of 13 at the free throw line and scored 13 points in the Pirates' 53-51 comeback win over Salem in the opening round of the North Harrison Sectional.
• Gedeon Nzombi, Rock Creek: Nzombi had 14 points and 12 rebounds as the Lions knocked off defending state champion Borden 67-48 in Friday's Class A semifinals.
• Aaron Eldridge, Christian Academy: Eldridge scored 25 points to help the Warriors to a 61-46 first-round win over New Washington at Borden.
• Dustin Cochran, New Albany: Cochran scored 13 points and made several key buckets as the Bulldogs downed Bedford North Lawrence 61-51 in Friday's semifinal win over Bedford.

• Tyrise Major, Jeffersonville: Major had 15 points and three steals and keyed a comeback that fell short, 85-75 in overtime to Jennings County.
• D.J. Coleman, Clarksville: Coleman had a game-high 20 points in the Generals'
• Myles Ervin, Floyd Central: Ervin had a game-high 17 points in the Highlanders' 57-43 first-round loss to rival New Albany at Seymour.
• Nick Hayes, Providence: Hayes led the Pioneers with 16 points in Friday's 58-40 semifinal win over Henryville.
• Nick Tinsley, Silver Creek: Back at North Harrison, Tinsley scored 23 points as the Dragons stunned Corydon Central 74-51.

Many of the phenomena that occur in nature have uncertainty and are best characterized statistically as random processes. For example, the thermal noise in electronic circuits, radar detection, and games of chance can only be modeled and analyzed in terms of statistical averages.
This lab will cover some basic methods of analyzing random processes. "Random Variables" reviews some basic definitions and terminology associated with random variables, observations, and estimation. "Estimating the Cumulative Distribution Function" investigates a common estimate of the cumulative distribution function. "Generating Samples from a Given Distribution" discusses the problem of transforming a random variable so that it has a given distribution, and lastly, "Estimating the Probability Density Function" illustrates how the histogram may be used to estimate the probability density function.
Note that this lab assumes an introductory background in probability theory. Some review is provided, but it is unfeasible to develop the theory in detail. A secondary reference such as (Reference) is strongly encouraged.

These shoes are amazing! They were comfortable to ride in from the moment I took them out of the box. This site also is one of the cheapest ones out there. Every other store sold them for 20 dollars more expensive. The grip is nice but loose enough for you to slide your foot across the deck. All in all great price and a great product!

Everyone is going to be tired this NHL season because the schedule is so compressed due to the Olympics. But I'm putting the Sabres on notice right here and now: They might like to talk about how injuries impact them but I'm not listening to any excuses that they're tired from their travel schedule.
The reason? According to the chart on this fascinating analysis of the schedule, the Sabres will travel the fewest miles of any NHL team this year. A lot fewer. At 25,911 miles, the Sabres' travel load is less than half that of the Flames (who will log the most miles at more than 55,000). Only the Flyers (29,087) are even under 30,000.
Even with their one brutal Western swing, the Sabres' travel load is down 4,631 miles from last year. That's largely because there are no trips to Edmonton, Calgary, Minnesota, Colorado, Dallas and Chicago as there were in 2008-09. All of those teams are instead coming to Buffalo. "Western" road trips this year include games at Detroit, Columbus and Nashville, a big difference.
One other thing I've pondered in the wake of today's story breaking down the schedule.: The team needs to start well not only because it has many more home games early. It also needs to start well because just three of the first 12 opponents (the Canadiens, Red Wings and Devils) made the playoffs last year. Three are three meetings with the Islanders and one each with the Coyotes, Predators, Thrashers, Panthers, Lightning and Maple Leafs in that stretch.
You may recall from my season-ending breakdown that the Sabres' playoff hopes last year were ultimately quashed by their 5-8-5 record against the Senators, Thrashers, Lightning and Islanders. So they're going to get a quick chance to make up for that this season. They better take advantage.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
Doug Lorenzen was throwing as many clay bowls as he could Thursday morning before he was due into work.
"It's a hobby," he said. "I like creating something out of just a piece of clay and ending up with a usable vessel of some kind."
Lorenzen, of Joplin, is one of more than a dozen potters participating today at a Bowl-A-Thon at Phoenix Fired Art, 1603 S. Main St. The goal of the event, which will continue until 9 p.m., is to make 1,000 bowls that can be used in November for the art studio's Empty Bowls fundraiser for three Joplin charities.
"It's a big undertaking to make 1,000 bowls," Lorenzen said. "It sounds accomplishable, but that means between now and November, someone has to make 40 bowls a week. So if you can get a big group together and knock a bunch out, you can get a running start."
The public is invited to watch the potters at work throughout the day.

Old Dominion University women's golf coach Pat Kotten announced the signing of Katelyn Linkski, Amanda Moore, Bailey Mosier and Meghan Schaefer to letters of intent for the 2004-05 season.
Linkski of New Market, Va., placed 14th at the Virginia State High School Girls Championship this season. She was named athlete of the week and also scholar athlete of the month. Linkski also lettered in volleyball and tennis at Stonewall Jackson High School.
"Katelyn Linkski will be focusing on golf only for the first time. She has good length off the tee and will develop into a solid player," Kotten said.
A Hudson, Fla., native, Moore earned all-county honors four times while at J.W. Mitchell High School. She was The St. Petersburg Times Golfer of the Year in 2000 and 2002 and The Tampa Tribune Player of the Year in 2000.
"Amanda Moore brings a solid game and leadership to our young program," Kotten said. "She could also challenge for the top spot on our squad."
Mosier of Las Vegas was named to the All-Las Vegas High School First Team by the Southern Nevada Golf Coaches Association and received the 2003 Southern Nevada Junior Golf Association Point Leader Award for girls ages 15-18. She qualified for the Southwest Section PGA and the Westfield Junior PGA Championships.
"Bailey Mosier is a tall, strong player with a tremendous upside. She has a nice touch around the greens and will develop into a longer hitter as she learns to use her height to her advantage," Kotten said.
Schaefer of Union, Ky. was named the Northern Kentucky Athletic Conference Player of the Year in 2003. She won the Northern Kentucky Regional Championship and the Northern Kentucky Junior Amateur Championship that same year. Schaefer won the Gatorade Advanced Series in 2002.
"Meghan Schaefer is a strong player with a solid tournament background. I feel that she could challenge for the top spot in the line-up before the end of the season," Kotten said.

Supreme Court Opens Door for Online Sales Tax Loophole
States may seek new online sales tax laws after Supreme Court denial.
Lawmakers in many states will convene their legislatures in January, but it is unclear whether they will move to collect sales tax from Web retailers doing business in their states in both a politically sensitive election year and a period of economic recovery.
[READ: Supreme Court Rejects Amazon, Overstock Online Sales Tax Cases]
The U.S. Supreme Court's move on Dec. 2 rejecting challenges by Amazon and Overstock to a New York state law may give legislatures greater ability to collect existing sales tax from Web retailers operating in their states.
Supreme Court precedent holds that states may not collect sales tax from retailers that lack physical presence in the state, but the New York law creates an exemption called a "click-through nexus" if a Web retailer has an online sales link built into the website of a company based in that state. At least 13 states already have adopted laws similar to New York's exemption and more could use that legislation as a model, says Dan Effron, a tax partner at Marcum LLP, a national accounting firm based in New York City.
If more legislatures broaden the scope of how Web retailers can be counted as having a business presence in the state, companies may raise prices to account for sales tax or to hire accountants to comply with the different state laws, Effron predicts.
"It would be a windfall for the state treasurers in the hundreds of millions of dollars," Effron says. It's unclear whether there would be a broad impact on the e-commerce industry through the passage of laws similar to the New York legislation, Effron says, but "thousands of small and medium-sized businesses doing sales on the Internet would clearly face a burden," he explains.
These state laws do not allow blanket collection of online sales tax because of limits set by the Constitution, Effron explains. That power would be provided to states by the Marketplace Fairness Act, which passed the Senate in May but has since stalled in the House of Representatives. The proposed legislation would affect retailers doing $1 million or more of their annual sales online.
[DEBATE CLUB: Should the Senate Have Passed an Online Sales Tax]
The National Council of State Legislatures estimated states could have gained $23.3 billion in revenue during 2012 by collecting sales tax from online purchases, reflecting how in recent years states have explored the possibility of imposing sales tax collection on Web retailers. The National Retail Federation argues e-commerce sites have an unfair advantage against brick-and-mortar stores because they do not have to collect sales tax, and that the Marketplace Fairness Act would help level the playing field.
While states likely will debate Internet sales tax laws similar to the New York legislation, 2014 might not be the best year to enact those laws, says Scott Pattison, director of the National Association of State Budget Officers. The recovering economy makes state budget officers less desperate to collect new taxes, Pattison explains, and the general fund budgets of 43 states for the 2014 fiscal year are higher compared with 2013, according to a report published on Tuesday by the NASBO.
Fiscal 2014 budgets are projected to increase by 3.8 percent during fiscal 2013 -- which is lower than the historical average of 5.6 percent -- but the report shows that growth is stable.
"It's a transition year for the economy so it is more difficult to predict what states will do," Pattison says. "States may be interested in reconfiguring existing taxes."
[ALSO: What an Online Sales Tax Will Teach Retailers]
Imposing sales tax collection onto Web retailers also may be politically difficult, since it potentially could discourage companies from doing business in a state, Pattison says. To appear more attractive to business development, 14 states decreased their corporate income tax for the 2014 fiscal year, while only four states increased it, Pattison says.
"There are a number of states with a Republican foothold where taxes are off the table," Pattison explains. "You are going to see some significant debate on whether to change taxes. But there is always the question of, 'Does this make our states attractive to business development?'"

- Place 1 cup of flour in a medium bowl. Mix in butter using a fork or a pastry blender. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of water over, and stir with a fork until dough comes together. Divide into two balls. Pat dough into two long strips on an ungreased baking sheet, about 14 inches long and 3 inches wide. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of water. Bring to a rolling boil. Add 1 teaspoon of almond extract and remove from the heat. Immediately stir in 1 cup of flour until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan. Gradually stir in the eggs until well blended. Divide evenly, and spread over the two crusts on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Allow to cool almost to room temperature before frosting.
- To make the frosting, mix together the confectioners' sugar, 1 teaspoon of almond extract and a splash of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if necessary to make a pourable glaze. Drizzle over the Danish puffs, and decorate with candy sprinkles.

This is a very yummy dessert, I've been making it for many years. I did change one thing, to save half the fat...skip the bottom layer. It doesn't really add any flavor, and the top layer is what's really the best part. Here's a tip on spreading that top layer out...use a wet spoon, it really makes the job easier.
I have used this recipe since 1960 I have always used slivered almonds over the frosting, carrying the flavor of the Almond extract that is in the pastry.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, I had this recipe years ago. This is from an old cook book, which I lost while moving. I would often put a thin layer of Solo fruit filling, or almond paste, over the crust, between the two layers. Easy and elegant dessert, great for company.

CROWN POINT — New York state and Vermont announced Monday that they have finalized a bi-state agreement to replace or repair the Champlain Bridge between Crown Point and Chimney Point, Vt.
Years of delayed maintenance on the 2,184-foot-long bridge have left it in deteriorating structural shape, and an environmental-impact statement must be completed before any work commences.
The HTNB Corp. of New York City was selected as the design consultant for the project.
The Champlain Bridge opened in 1929 as a toll bridge connecting New York and Vermont across Lake Champlain.
Many local leaders want the historic multi-truss bridge rehabilitated before its condition worsens.
The most recent repairs to the bridge were completed in late 2008, and included removing loose concrete, doweling reinforcement into existing concrete and pouring new concrete pier caps. A yellow flag warning that had been placed on the bridge was then taken off.
According to the State Department of Transportation, HTNB will first do an evaluation of the bridge to determine the feasibility of rehabilitation and the cost.
DOT spokesman Peter Van Keuren said all options will be identified and evaluated, and public input solicited before any decisions are made.
Van Keuren said the study will also address the potential impact of rehabilitation or replacement on motorists. Statistics show about 3,400 vehicles a day crossing the bridge in both directions.
"The project is in a preliminary planning stage," he said. "Construction is tentatively planned to begin in 2013."
He said a public advisory committee was set up to review the project, comprised of community members from the towns around the bridge on both sides of Lake Champlain. Business, agricultural and environmental groups are also represented on the committee, Van Keuren said.
Public informational meetings will be scheduled during the design phase to gather community input, he said.
"The bridge's condition will continue to be monitored during the development of this project, to ensure the safety of the traveling public."
The project to address the bridge's deteriorating condition started in 2006, as a joint operation of the DOT and the Vermont Agency of Transportation.
The bridge is owned by both New York and Vermont, although New York has been entrusted with the bridge's maintenance. Under a prior agreement, the two states would share the cost of major rehabilitation or replacement.
The Adirondack Architectural Heritage group is actively advocating for preservation and rehabilitation of the Champlain Bridge, AARCH Executive Director Steven Engelhart said.
"We have argued that this option would not only save an important regional landmark, but early indications are that it would be the least costly, result in minimal disruption in traffic during reconstruction. It could be brought to completion the quickest of any alternative, and it's consistent with New York state's policies regarding the preservation of its engineering legacy."

Reading. A pleasurable pursuit for the Everyman, that can be done nearly anywhere, thanks to our technological age. But I can't seem to let go of the paper versions.
I do a lot of reading, most of it online. Emails, websites, blogs and posts from various Social Media outlets consume much of my time and attention. I don't think I'm alone. Work and what has become mainstream culture, dictates this medium for my personal use as well. I feel perfectly comfortable using this format, and indeed it's quite enjoyable.
But when I really want to read, I always mean a book. There is something about a book that means substance to me, that brings a kind of nourishment. The wonderment of being able to live another life through the words of another, my shock and delight to access of whole other worlds, of passionate souls and brilliant minds, revealed through that magic door, that only writers are wardens to.
Then, there are the physical and ritualistic pleasures I experience from a book. The weight of it in my hands, sometimes light and airy, sometimes heavy enough that I can feel the slight strain on my wrists after a while. Seeing where my tattered bookmark is, its placement either mocking my sluggish pace, or torturing me by holding all of its secrets hostage, as I count the minutes until I can pick it up again.
Curling up with a good book on a winter day, white with cold, nested in a crocheted afghan of off-colors, the sound of turning pages that is a pleasant blend of a crinkle and a flip, and the dark scent of coffee steaming in a cup nearby. Why, this is comfort in all its' entirety.
I have been known to enter into used book stores, and gaze and wander for very long stretches of time. Admiring leather bound covers with worn gold lettering, beautiful with illustrations and lithographs, inhaling the smell of the pages; musty, slightly sweet, steeped with age. And if I am lucky, I will find a handwritten sentiment from someone long ago, my own little discovery of a book turned time capsule.
Enjoyable nuances that only paper can bring.
I have yet to read an e-book.
I am behind the times, I know. Technology is improving all the time to make it easier to access and share, easier to read on the eyes, easier to carry. Easier. But I haven't been able to bring myself to convert yet.
I recognize that my refusal to switch over to an e-version is illogical. The writing's on the wall, books will one day become obsolete, or at least be rare.
I realize I will get the same information reading great literature on a screen, that I do on paper.
But it won't be the same experience.

FAIR ISN'T FOUL: Dooley just wants a hand waved
Derek Dooley isn't going to make another change in personnel.
The Tennessee coach doesn't think he needs to alter the way signals are called in on special teams either.
All the Vols really need from their punt returner is a fair catch, a point Dooley is again trying to drive home with Anthony Anderson this week to fix a problem that has quite obviously embarrassed him heading into Saturday's game with Kentucky (TV: WVLT, 12:21 p.m.).
"Well, they're allowed to fair catch it if the blocking isn't there," Dooley joked during his press conference on Monday. "There's a new rule they put in that I told our guys about, that if there's a guy in your face, they're going to let you stick your hand up and they won't hit you.
"Janzen (Jackson) didn't know that. I'm just kidding."
It was no laughing matter after the Vols safety muffed the ball and his opportunity to win the job against Ole Miss, sending Dooley back to the drawing board against Vanderbilt.
UT came up with Anderson as an option, though he had his own problems against the Commodores -- fielding a bouncing ball in traffic and later fumbling on another attempt. But Dooley was quick to point out it was a fumble and not another drop, a significant difference to the coaching staff.
"There's always issues blocking, that's why they allow you to (wave your hand)," Dooley said. "This one was a call that you're supposed to (fair catch) because we didn't block them because we were trying to block the kick. We were going for a block, and our returners know when we go for the block that it's automatic fair catch.
"But when you've got a new guy in every week, they make mistakes. He actually caught the punt, I don't know if you all know that, he just fumbled. If he had just stuck his hand up, we might not be having this conversation. But he didn't."
This week, the Vols are counting on Anderson doing it.

Year in Coaching: 45th
Year at Arizona: Third
Veteran defensive line coach Bill Kirelawich is in his third season at Arizona. He was named defensive line coach in January 2012 by head coach Rich Rodriguez.
He joined the Wildcat staff after three decades of coaching defense at West Virginia University. His grasp of Rodriguez's overall program and Jeff Casteel's 3-3-5 defense is second to none. Kirelawich's defenses ranked nationally No. 1 in 1996 and No. 3 in 2010.
Arizona's defensive front has significantly improved its production in year two with Kirelawich. In 2013, the Wildcats totaled 77 tackles for a loss of 255 yards. Last season, UA totaled 67 tackles for loss and 16 sacks over a 13-game season. Starting defensive linemen Sione Tuihalamaka (11.0 TFL, 5.0 sacks), Reggie Gilbert (7.0 TFL, 4.0 sacks) and Tevin Hood (7.5 TFL and 1.0 sacks) have combined for 25.5 tackles for loss and 10 sacks this season. Last year, that trio totaled 11.0 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks.
In 2012, Kirelawich saw seven different players start at the defensive line positions. His group racked up 18.5 tackles for a loss of 67 yards.
Kirelawich started coaching at West Virginia in 1979 when he spent a year as a part-time assistant. He coached the defensive line from 1980-87, outside linebackers from 1988-90, the line again from 1991 to 2000, was an administrative assistant in 2001-02 and coached the line for the last nine years.
His tenure in Morgantown was marked by bowl appearances, high statistical rankings, coaching All-Americans and all-conference players, and the collegiate training of numerous players who went on to the professional ranks. He was 2010 FootballScoop Defensive Line Coach of the Year.
He began his coaching career with a nine-year stint as head coach at Cardinal Brennan (Pa.) High School from 1970-78. Kirelawich graduated from Salem University in West Virginia in 1969. A team captain and linebacker, Kirelawich still owns the school record with an 89-yard interception return.
Kirelawich and his wife, Maggie, have three children, Billy, Miki and Jake, and a newborn granddaughter, Kate. Billy is Assistant Director of Operations for the UA football program.

Wheaton North quarterback Clayton Thorson brushes off Glenbard North's Alex Smith. | Patrick Gleason ~ For Sun-Times Media
Several of the area's top prospects visited Big Ten schools over the weekend, including De La Salle offensive lineman Jamarco Jones and Plainfield South linebacker Clifton Garrett who both visited Ohio State.
"It was a great visit," he said. "I liked being able to meet the players and having a chance to stay on campus to see what it's like."
Jones continued, "They were just saying that they really like me and are going to continue to recruit me hard."
Another top prospect who took a visit this weekend was Bolingbrook defensive back Parrker Westphal to Michigan on Sunday.
"We left at 5 A.M. to get up to Michigan," Westphal said. "During the visit we got to speak with some of the coaches and go to the basketball game. I also got to speak with some of the commits while on campus."
Westphal has visited Michigan several times before and has an offer from the Wolverines.
Offensive lineman to watch
Several Chicago-area offensive lineman have seen their recruiting take off in a big way.
St. Charles North junior Chase Gianacakos picked up his first offer from Kansas on a junior day visit.
"I was very surprised about getting my first offer and I was very excited," Gianacakos said. "I mean I probably had the biggest smile on my face, plus I had a very good time on the visit."
Glenbard West's Eric Shute also picked up an offer during an unofficial visit to North Carolina State.
"What I liked most about the visit was the football center," Shute said. "I really liked how it looked over the football stadium. Really I just liked everything about N.C. State."
The Wolfpack are the third school to offer Shute, along with Illinois and Toledo.
Thorson on two more
Wheaton North junior quarterback Clayton Thorson is into double digit offers, and added the latest two from Kansas and Boston College.
"Kansas is impressive because they have a great offense with Charlie Weis as the head coach," Thorson said. "And Boston College is historically an awesome school and the new coaching staff seems like they will have success in the coming years.
"My timetable for committing is probably before next season, and maybe before the summer," Thorson said.
First offers in
St. Francis freshman quarterback Justin Berry added his first offer from Temple. Plus Neuqua Valley wide receiver Mike Dudek and Evergreen Park receiver Jacquet McClendon received their first offers from North Dakota.

Francesco Maazei favours Mammole, the traditional variety of artichokes from Rome, for this classic Italian dish, but others could be substituted. Whichever variety you use, choose globes that are heavy, firm and plump.
4 artichokes, preferably Mammole variety
1 lemon, cut in half
4 garlic cloves
1 tbsp salt
6 anchovy fillets
20 leaves fresh mint, finely chopped
20 leaves fresh parsley, finely chopped
20 leaves fresh marjoram, finely chopped
2 tbsp grated pecorino
2 tbsp breadcrumbs
2 tbsp olive oil
2 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
200ml/7fl oz white wine
50ml/2fl oz vegetable stock
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Pull off the tough outer leaves from each artichoke and cut off the stalks. Trim off the tops of the leaves with a pair of kitchen scissors and rub each artichoke with the cut lemon to prevent them from discolouring.
Finely chop one of the garlic cloves and mix it with the salt and the anchovy fillets in a bowl to form a paste.
Add the chopped herbs to the paste with the pecorino and breadcrumbs; mix well.
Rinse the artichokes under cold running water, shake off any excess water and gently prise the artichokes leaves open.
Sprinkle the artichokes with a pinch of salt and rub the paste inside the leaves.
Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof pan. Thinly slice the remaining garlic cloves and add them to the pan, then add the artichokes and potatoes.
Add the white wine, let it bubble and then add the vegetable stock.
Cover the artichokes with greaseproof paper and place a lid on the pan. Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes. Serve hot or warm.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

Best Buy Employee: Pressure To Cram Credit Cards Down Customers' Throats Now Intensifying
The next time you're shopping at Best Buy, try not to get too angry when employees attempt to cram store credit cards down your throat. They're not personally out to scam you, or hawking cards to line their pockets. They're just trying not to get written up, reprimanded, or fired. A very insightful tipster who works at a Best Buy somewhere in the United States shared with us the impossible credit application quotas now in place. Update: The tipster reports that Best Buy management has backed down on this particular threat. Hurray! [More]
HSBC Really, Really Doesn't Want Reader To Cancel Best Buy Credit Card
James applied for a Best Buy Mastercard from HSBC. The initial application was easy enough, but the three separate confusing calls from outsourced customer service reps, and the low limit and annual fee on the card he eventually received led him to cancel his account. This should have been a straightforward transaction, but company representatives tried to bully James into keeping the credit card.

The Ebola outbreak is in the news a lot, but experts say the risk to Americans is low.
On the day you hear that a struggling restaurant is going out of business, you don't expect to find the phones there ringing relentlessly, or people lining up for lunch.
Then again, Pewter Rose has been different since the year it opened - 1988.
"It wasn't a chain," says owner Susie Peck. "It was an individual unit that had personality."
Peck was one of the operating partners back then. Now, she runs it with family. And in recent years, the sluggish economy has made things tough for them, as it has for many other restaurants.
"It's just been hard to have a stable business," Peck says, "enough of a lunch and dinner crowd every day to maintain where we all need to be pay our bills."
But Pewter Rose's bills are especially big. It is housed in a historic building, and maintenance issues have been piling up. Last weekend a pipe broke, and (Peck tears up as she tries to explain) there just isn't enough cash to fix the damage.
As beloved as it is,somewhere along the line, Pewter Rose turned into one of those places you start to take for granted.
"I run into people all the time who are like oh, Peter Rose is my favorite restaurant. But I don't think I've been there - we haven't been there since our 20th anniversary and that was seven years ago," Peck says.
Plenty of people showed up Friday, though, when they heard Pewter about the closing.
"It's a sad moment," says Jimmy Bookout. Bookout has been playing music here with bandmate Tom Billotto for twenty years. "How many wonderful, old line, kind of iconic places have we lost in Charlotte. And that's not a Charlotte thing, that happens everywhere. But we all need to take care of those places because one day they're gone and we're all sitting around going what happened?"
Still, Peck wants you to know she's grateful.
"I really appreciate all the support I've had in this city," she says. "I mean, it's been incredible."

Browns executives are lining up to speak with spread-offense mastermind Chip Kelly about their head-coaching vacancy after his University of Oregon team faces Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday night in Glendale, Ariz., Jason La Canfora of CBS reported Tuesday.
Owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner fired coach Pat Shurmur and General Manager Tom Heckert on Monday morning after the Browns finished their 12th losing season since 1999 with a record of 5-11. In a news conference a few hours later, the franchise's new bigwigs explained they will hire a head coach first and then find a personnel executive to complement him.
Haslam and Banner said they wouldn't comment on potential candidates during their search. But by Monday night, Kelly was labeled as their top choice by two high-ranking NFL personnel executives who spoke to Adam Caplan of TheSidelineView.com.
Banner was in Arizona on Tuesday, where he interviewed Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton, La Canfora reported. Interviewing Horton would satisfy the Rooney Rule, which requires NFL teams to interview at least one minority candidate for their head-coaching vacancies.
But by being in Arizona, Banner would also be in position to interview Kelly. The Philadelphia Eagles, who fired coach Andy Reid on Monday, and Buffalo Bills are also looking to meet with Kelly after Oregon's bowl game, La Canfora reported.
Last year, Kelly turned down a chance to coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and it's unclear whether he would leave Oregon this year. La Canfora reported there's a growing sense he might stay put. Kelly, 49, has been bombarded with questions about his future, and he'll likely be asked to address the topic this morning, when he's scheduled to hold another news conference to preview the game.
"I've got a game to play," Kelly said during the Fiesta Bowl's media day on Monday, according to the Associated Press. "We're playing in the Fiesta Bowl. That's the biggest thing in my life. If I allowed other things to get into my life, then they would be distractions, but there aren't. Our focus 100 percent is on the Fiesta Bowl.
"My heart is to win today and that's it. I know everybody wants to hear a different answer. And I know that at times when I don't give you guys the answer that you guys want, then I'm being evasive. I'm not being evasive."
Kelly might be influenced to enter the NFL because of potential NCAA sanctions stemming from a recruiting scandal. Some are skeptical he could succeed in the league because he has no NFL experience. Others doubt his high-powered, spread offense would work in the NFL, but that doesn't seem to bother Banner.
"I think the game evolves and there is always some stealing from college into the pros and some stealing from going in the other direction," Banner said Monday when asked if collegiate spread offenses are transferable to the NFL. "You probably can't just take a pure NFL system and put it in college and have it work, and you probably can't just take a purely clean current college system and put it in the pros and have it work. But that doesn't mean there are things that the right coach could integrate from both systems that could work very well at this level."
Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden, the 22nd overall pick in this year's draft, was asked if Kelly's scheme is compatible with his skills.
"I don't think I can run the zone read," Weeden said.
But Banner believes a good coach could find a way to succeed even if he doesn't have the right quarterback immediately.
"There is nothing that you're going to do in which you're not going to hit some obstacles that could keep you from reaching your goals," Banner said. "That's 100 percent of us all the time. There are some people that no matter what those are find ways to overcome them and find ways to achieve their goals. So whether you've got the right player at this position or that position in place at this moment, to the right person who has a history and a track record of finding ways to overcome obstacles and succeed, those will be temporary challenges."
Kelly, though, is not the only high-profile college coach on the Browns' radar.
If they can't get Kelly, the Browns will push for Penn State University coach Bill O'Brien, La Canfora reported. The Cardinals, Eagles and San Diego Chargers are expected to court him as well. On Tuesday, Peter King of Sports Illustrated tweeted that O'Brien "is strongly considering interviewing with an NFL team."
O'Brien, a former New England Patriots assistant who served as their offensive coordinator in 2011, was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year after he guided Penn State to a record of 8-4 in his first season. O'Brien, 43, succeeded Joe Paterno and led the Nittany Lions in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal.
Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported that when O'Brien accepted the Penn State job, school officials told him the Sandusky scandal was a criminal matter, not an NCAA issue. However, Penn State received a four-year bowl ban and scholarship reductions. It could cost $9.2 million to buy out O'Brien's contract, Mortensen reported.
