The latest climate change report predicting an increase in extreme weather-related disasters is a further alarm call for the world to step up preparation for future emergencies, the Red Cross is warning.
The summary of the Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX), released on Friday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), points to increasing volatility and frequency of extreme weather and a growing risk for people across the globe.
"The findings of this report certainly tally with what the Red Cross Movement is seeing, which is a rise in the number of weather-related emergencies around the world," said Maarten van Aalst, director of the Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre and coordinating lead author of the IPCC SREX report.
"We are committed to responding to disasters whenever and wherever they happen, but we have to recognise that if the number of disasters continues to increase, the current model we have for responding to them is simply impossible to sustain.
"It is more effective and efficient, in terms of both money and human lives, to try to anticipate disasters, and build resilience and preparedness before they happen."
Colombia, a modern climate "lab", faces a dizzying array of extreme-weather impacts (not to mention seismic risk): drought alternating with flooding; the spread of malaria and dengue fever as the wet, warm mosquito-zone expands; more destructive storms; and in some locations super-fast coastal erosion.
After what was described as the most intense rainy season in the country's recorded history affected almost all Colombia's 32 provinces in 201011, nearly three quarters of a million people were directly affected in a flood disaster that a member of the government called "unimaginable".
"More than four million people in Colombia have been affected by floods or landslides over the past two years," says Walter Cotte, the secretary general of the Colombian Red Cross and one of the most experienced disaster managers in the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement.
"It's cumulative," he adds. "Now something like 10 percent of our entire population is directly involved, and these people need a lot of support from us. Not only on the emergency side but also how to manage early-warning systems, and deal with evacuations."
One location in Colombia where they hope Red Cross early-warning systems and drills are already saving lives is the town of Villanueva, at the foot of the towering Sierre de Perija in La Guajira province. Villanueva (population 20,000) is acutely vulnerable to flash floods that come crashing down from the mountains above until recently quite without warning.
Now a Red Cross river-level gauge, installed a short distance upstream, triggers powerful sirens that gives people in the town below about 10 minutes' warning of approaching flash-floods. They have gone off five times since installation three years ago. There may be no other warning of the potentially lethal floods there can be torrential rain in the mountains while skies are completely clear above the valley below.
La Guajira also includes the small peninsula that juts out into the Caribbean the most northern extreme of continental Latin America. The vulnerable-looking geography of the department somehow makes it seem less surprising that this part of Colombia's Caribbean coast should suffer dramatically high levels of coastal erosion that strikes at both the strong and the weak alike. Every year, the Chevron Company, whose processing plant is on the shore, has to replace a line of huge sandbags, which are now the only thing keeping the waves at bay.
The Red Cross, meanwhile, has supervised the total reconstruction of the indigenous Wayuu village of San Tropel, 30 kilometres north of the department capital, Riohacha, after the original settlement was swallowed by the sea, which has been advancing at a rate of some 20 metres a year.
The early warning systems in Villanueva and San Tropel are elements of the climate-oriented network of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) work undertaken in Colombia as part of the 2007-11 Netherlands Red Cross-supported "Pledge Project".
The rebuilding of San Tropel, completed using traditional materials and methods in September 2010, was intended to specifically address the changing climate risks this village will continue to face, and as such is the first settlement of its kind in Colombia.

(Adds salary range in fifth graph.)
June 2 (Bloomberg) -- California lawmakers will permanently forfeit their pay starting June 16 if they fail to pass a balanced budget by that date, state Controller John Chiang said.
Chiang, a Democrat, said a ballot measure approved by voters in November clearly calls for lawmakers to lose their salary and reimbursements for expenses from June 16 until a balanced budget is sent to the governor. Lawyers for the Legislature have said that a budget bill approved in March may have met the requirement, though it didn't erase what is now a $10 billion deficit.
"Presenting the governor with a balanced budget by the constitutional deadline is the most-important, if not most- difficult, job of the California Legislature," Chiang said today in a statement.
Governor Jerry Brown, also a Democrat, and Republican lawmakers are at an impasse over how to fill the gap. Last year, the fiscal 2011 spending plan was a record 100 days late amid a similar deficit stalemate with then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Brown wants the Legislature to approve asking voters to extend more than $9 billion of expiring tax increases to offset cuts to schools and public safety.
California lawmakers earn $95,291 a year. Legislative leaders make as much as $109,584.
IOUs Possible
Chiang has warned that California may run out of cash to pay bills by July absent a budget. That may force him to issue IOUs again, as he did in 2009.
California's constitution says lawmakers must send a budget to the governor by June 15, about two weeks before the fiscal year begins. The Legislature has met that deadline five times in the last 30 years. Until this year, there wasn't any penalty for missing it.
Voters in November passed Proposition 25, which lowered the threshold to pass a budget to a simple majority from a two- thirds requirement. It also stripped lawmakers of salary and per diem pay for every day they are late in passing a spending plan. Chiang has withheld their pay during previous years, though they were reimbursed once the budget was passed.
While Democrats control both chambers of the Legislature, Brown needs the support of at least four Republicans to put his tax-extension plan on a ballot because it still requires passage by two-thirds vote.
New Momentum
In March, the governor broke off negotiations on a June ballot citing a lack of Republican support. Last week Brown said talks regained momentum as he has took up demands for pension overhaul, a state spending cap and other measures.
Democrats in March did send Brown budget bills that cut what was a $26 billion deficit to about $15 billion. Since then, better-than-expected revenue from the nascent economic recovery lowered the deficit to about $10 billion.
"We made progress in March, and over the next two weeks we will build on that progress and close out the remainder of the deficit by June 15th," said Speaker of the Assembly John Perez, a Democrat from Los Angeles.

Rescue Efforts Continuing in Navy Helicopter Crash
By SOF Editor on Fri, 02/19/2010 - 1:57pm
Printer Friendly VersionSend to a FriendRescue and recovery efforts are still ongoing following the Feb. 18 crash of a U.S. Navy MH-60S "Knighthawk" helicopter in a remote area of West Virginia, with the majority of the personnel safely extracted from the crash site. There are injuries reported to the 17 crew and passengers aboard, but none of the injuries are life threatening. There are no fatalities. The names of the injured are not being released at this time. The helicopter is assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Support Squadron 26 from Naval Station Norfolk. It was participating in "Operation Southbound Trooper X" at Ft. Pickett, Va., when the crash happened. Operation Southern Trooper is an annual exercise focusing on the integration of joint U.S. and NATO tactics and procedures as well as inter-service coordination and capabilities. A West Virginia Army National Guard search and rescue crew flying HH-60 "Blackhawk" helicopters and a C-130 located the downed aircraft on the evening of Feb. 18 in a rugged, snow-covered area near Lewisburg, W.Va. Medical personnel were lowered to the site to provide assistance for the injured. Other rescue personnel are enroute to the area with additional equipment and supplies. Those aboard the helicopter included Navy, Marine and National Guard personnel. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Early August is the doldrums of the NBA offseason, but late Tuesday evening, Knicks fans were jolted into high alert from this series of tweets from ESPN's Marc Stein regarding some potential player movement:
How 'bout a Knicks rumble? I'm told they're trying to find a new home for Pablo Prigioni as well as Wayne Ellington to create roster room
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 6, 2014
Attempts to move Ellington solo have been unsuccessful, so Knicks said to be weighing prospect of attaching Prigioni to deal as a catalyst
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 6, 2014
NOT a case of Knicks not liking Prigioni. It's more NYK being unable to move Ellington unless they attach likes of Prigioni or Shane Larkin
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 6, 2014
While this may sound sarcastic, or patronizing, it's not meant to: In just two seasons, Pablo Prigioni has become a darling in the eyes of many Knicks fans. He's represented the antithesis on a team that a times has came across as dull, unimaginative, and even selfish. His contributions have often been aesthetically pleasing: the extra (and usually correct) pass, the furtive back-court swipes. And the stats – especially during the 2012-13 season – tell the tale as well. The Knicks generally have shot better, moved the ball better, and been better defensively when Prigioni is on the floor. And in the intangible way that sports often provides, he's simply been fun to watch. The Knicks are almost never easy to root for, but rooting for Pablo Prigioni over the past two seasons has felt right.
If this all sounds a little too reverential, it's because it is. As a Knicks fan who enjoys watching Pablo Prigioni play, I personally don't want to see the Knicks trade him. Judging from social media response to Stein's reporting, I sense I'm not the only one. There's an admitted emotional attachment and investment at play here. But, you know, the heart versus the head and all that jazz. Indeed, the Knicks probably should trade him.
The Knicks aren't going through your typical NBA rebuild, bottoming out and stockpiling high lottery picks, but they're definitely going through a transition. The realistic goal of the 2014-15 season isn't to win an NBA championship. With a bevy of contracts coming off the books after this upcoming season, the Knicks rightly have their gaze ahead to the future. Whatever the Knicks' plan is, Pablo Prigioni isn't likely to factor in whether or not it works. He's 37, and is a backup on a good team. For all of Prigioni's qualities, of which there are many, he's averaged just over 17 minutes a game in his two Knicks seasons. Even the many calls over the past two years for him to get more minutes have been mostly measured. Nobody with any sense is asking for Prigioni to be a 30-plus minute player, because he isn't one. He's a good player, at times a very good one. But like most rotation players, he has his limits, and unfortunately given his advanced age, those limitations will increase with time.
We don't know yet what the Knicks are attempting to get back by attaching Prigioni to Wayne Ellington. Perhaps we'll soon find out. As it stands now though, for 2014-15, it makes sense for the Knicks to give the majority of the backup point guard duties to Shane Larkin. Larkin may end up being the next Frank Williams, but the Knicks should try and find that out for sure. Keeping Prigioni as the backup to Jose Calderon and inhibiting Larkin (as well as making the back court more crowded for Tim Hardaway, Jr. and Iman Shumpert, guys more likely to figure into the future plans in some sense) might indeed help the Knicks win some more games this season. But as it often is in the NBA, for the Knicks, it's not about this season.
For now, Pablo Prigioni is still a Knick, and that's a good thing. But if he's soon a member of another team, that could be a good thing as well.

Shared IP error when adding new site
Hi, I'm having trouble setting up a new site with ISPConfig - I get a shared IP error.
When I set up the site, it only gives me the option of using the internal IP, which I assume is good. I've looked in the forums and tried changing the ISPConfig server address in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php between the internal and external IP numbers, and tried using one of the external URL FQDN's there too, but it didn't seem to help. My server is at www.bathskatepark.org, and I have www.reachmorse.org pointed to the same external IP. With no new sites installed, when I go to www.bathskatepark.org I get the default apache web page. When I add www.reachmorse.org as a new site, both domains give the shared IP error.
I have a linksys wrt54g router acting as a gateway. I have the following ports forwarded:
ispconfig 81
ftp 21
pop3 110
https 443
bind 53
ssh 22
smtp 25
http 80
domain 53
imaps 993...
and that is all that I have space for on the admin web site for the router. But, I also tried the turning off the fire wall on the router, and still no luck.
Likely I'm missing something obvious... any sugggestions what that might be? Thanks!!!
1) Point all your domains in DNS to your external IP address.
2) Forward the ports you named above to your internal server IP address.
3) Setup the websites in ISPCOnfig with your internal server IP, it must be the same IP where you forwarded the ports on your router.
Are there settings from my DNS provider (yahoo.com, both domains are set up as masked forwarding) that would effect this? Or router issues I could look into?
Thanks again,
The shared IP site is not an error or error site, it only says that you do not have a website with the corrct IP / Domain combination on your server.
What is masked forwarding? You need DNS A-Records pointing to your external IP, not any kind of forwarding.
What's in your Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?
Hi and thanks! It appears that getting rid of yahoo.com's "masked forwarding" and adding the DNS A records did the trick!
It is great that you guys are so tollerant of newbies like myself!
Thanks again, Amos
A friend of mine is having similar problems, shared IP error. The DNS is set up as a CNAME to a dyndns.org domain on this one however - is this enough for it to work or must it be an A record?
Thanks, Matt
What's the domain, and what is in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?
What's the output of
The domain is doodlebug.stanleyroad.org.uk
This is set up as a CNAME to stanleyroad.dnsalias.com, a free DNS redirection domain from dyndns.org.
ifconfig for eth0 is:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:E2:52:EA:97
Your domain isn't a CNAME, it's an A record:
dig stanleyroad.dnsalias.com

Nintendo confirmed as much via its Nintendo Direct broadcast today, in which it said the bespoke SKU will arrive in "limited quantities" later this year, but didn't reveal an exact date or retail details.
The special Pikachu-themed 3DS XL (3DS LL in Japan) will only be sold via the Pokemon Center store in Japan.

Vilarnau Cava Brut 750ml$15.84
Vilarnau Cava Brut
Vilarnau - Cataluna - Spain - Cava
The careful blending of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varietal grapes has long been the secret to the success of the famous sparkling wines of the Champagne region. The wines of this region have gone down in history as the finest example of France's sparkling produce, and the methods of processing the grapes in this region have been imitated in almost every wine producing country in the world. There are actually seven different grape varietals allowed to be included in a Champagne sparkling wine, although grape varietals such as Pinot Blanc, Arbanne and Pinot Gris are used less and less commonly in its production. Whilst the Chardonnay varietal grapes offer their distinctive biscuit flavor and wonderful astringency, it is the Pinot Noir grapes (most commonly used for producing beautifully light red wines) which give the Champagne wines their length and backbone.
With sixty thousand hectares of prime land under vine, and over two hundred bodegas and wineries operating there, the Spanish region of Catalunya is a vitally important centre for Spanish wine production and viticulture. It seems this has been the case for several thousand years, and recent archaeological findings have proven that Catalunya has a wine history which pre-dates Roman Spain by a considerable margin, making it one of the oldest wine regions in the world. Catalan wines today are dominated by the ever popular sparkling Cava wines, made in the methode champenois, and drank across the globe as a fine replacement for the more expensive Champagne wines. However, the excellent climatic conditions and terroir of Catalunya means that the bodegas of the region can also produce excellent still red and white wines, made from the wide range of grape varietals which thrive there.
From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
There are so many birth control options on the market today. How do you know which will be right for you? Do you understand all the pros and cons of each method? There are a lot of questions to be asked and a lot of avenues to explore. In this epinion, I hope to let you know what methods are available, a little insight into each option and a current list of efficacy. Remember the final decision is yours and should be discussed with your physician in depth.
A birth control pill usually contains both estrogen and progesterone to suppress ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). This is something that needs to be taken daily and approximately at the same time everyday. There is a pill that contains only progesterone and is usually given to post-partum women or women who have trouble tolerating estrogen. Due to the lack of estrogen it has a slight lower efficacy rate. Newer pills have come out within the last few years and have had fewer side effects than the older pills with higher amounts of estrogen. Birth control pills help women who have painful periods, heavy menstrual bleeding, ovarian cysts, and if taken properly have a very good rate of effectiveness. Some side effects may include: weight gain, bloating, acne, lack of period, nausea, and the risk of stroke, heart attack and blood clots (increased in women over the age of 35 and smokers). These last few risks are rare but do need to be considered.
EFFECTIVENESS: 99% If taken properly.
These are small matchstick like implants that are surgically placed on the inside of your inner arm. These sticks contain progesterone and can be left in for up to five years. The benefit of this product is you do not have to remember to take a pill daily. Some of the disadvantages are: irregular menstrual bleeding, this product needs to be surgically implanted, headaches, nausea, dizziness and sometimes difficulty removing the implants.
Depo-Provera is an injection that contains progesterone only and is given every 12 weeks. As with the pill (that contains progesterone only) and the Norplant system the pros and cons are pretty similar. One other disadvantage is that it may take anywhere from six months to a year for your fertility and menstrual cycles to return to normal.
Vasectomy is a surgical procedure that is performed on men to prevent semen from coming out during ejaculation. This is usually an in-office procedure and the patient goes home after a very short stay. This is usually done by a Urologist. This is a continuous birth control method and attempts to reverse it are not always successful. This is a fairly permanent birth control solution.
A tubal ligation is similar to that of a vasectomy, but for women. This is another surgical procedure that is usually done in the hospital, but most of the time does not require an over night stay. In this operation, the fallopian tubes are either tied off or cut to prevent the egg from being fertilized by sperm. Again, this is a permanent form of birth control but some doctors are able to reverse this surgery and repair the fallopian tube.
An IUD is a small device that is placed into a women�s uterus to float around and make the lining of the uterus irritated so that implantation of a fertilized egg can not implant. The Copper-T IUD does not contain any hormones. Some of the reported side effects of the IUD are: heavier periods, more cramping, may increase your risk of pelvic infections and in rare cases may perforate the uterus. This method of birth control has been made safe enough to last for up to ten years.
Now condoms are made for women as well as men. Condoms come in many different forms from lubricated to non-lubricated and ribbed to non-ribbed. This is a personal choice. The great benefit of condom use is that it protects you against some sexually transmitted diseases, prevents pregnancy and are very easily obtained. The tip I have for you on condoms is do not use petroleum (Vaseline and the like) for a lubricant. It can cause a higher risk of the condom breaking. Use a water-based lubricant.
Is a silicone round shaped semi-dome that is smeared with spermicide and inserted into the vagina. It must be left inside for a couple of hours after intercourse. This method also does not contain any hormones. It can cause some interruption to have to excuse yourself to go insert it. Some men do claim that they can feel the diaphragm.
The cervical cap is very similar to the diaphragm but is smaller and covers the opening of the uterus to prevent pregnancy. The nice thing about it is you can insert it anywhere from 1/2 hour to 48 hours prior to intercourse. With using the cervical cap, you may run a higher risk of infections. Some have difficulty inserting it. This device needs to be fitted by a doctor certified in cervical cap fitting.
This is a method that requires no other intervention. This requires women to be exact with the timing of their cycles. The not so good side is that your time to have intercourse averages out to only about � the cycle. Not recommended for women with irregular cycles.
The nice part of spermicide is it is easily obtainable and works well with a barrier method. The purpose of spermicide is to kill sperm before it reaches the uterus. In most cases these products need to be inserted � hour prior to intercourse. They tend to be messy and may cause urinary tract infections when used in combination with the diaphragm. You may also run the risk of an allergic reaction.
This last method also requires no other intervention. It is a birth control method provided by the male partner. It requires a great deal of control and in some instances sperm can leak out prior to ejaculation.
Please remember to research all of your options and discuss them with your doctor. The smartest move you can make is to educate yourself. I hope those of you looking for methods of birth control have found this epinion to be informative.

I've had several people ask me if I knew anything about the purple triangles that resemble box-kites which have been turning up in trees along Adirondack roadsides.
I inquired at the DEC and was told the devices are being used to trap and monitor the spread of a rather nasty invasive beetle called the Emerald Ash Borer.
Originally discovered in southeastern Michigan in 2002, the beetle has slowly migrated east and was just recently discovered in the southern part of New York State.
That's bad news for the more than 900 million ash trees in the state - a number that makes up about seven percent of all the trees here.
As its name implies, the Emerald Ash Borer gnaws its way into the trunk of a tree. Damage is done by the larvae, which feed in tunnels called galleries just below the bark.
The serpentine galleries disrupt water and nutrient transport, causing branches, and eventually the entire tree, to die.
In the past seven years, the beetle has been linked to the destruction of more than 70 million ash trees. DEC officials are rightfully concerned at the presence of the beetle in NY, thus the purple triangles hanging in local trees.
The primary method of transport is through untreated firewood, which is why the DEC has banned out-of-state firewood and restricted intrastate transport of firewood that has not been kiln dried to 50 miles.
Still, that is a tough regulation to police. Attempting to stop hundreds of thousands of campers from tossing a few sticks of firewood into their trunk before visiting the Adirondacks is a tough order to fill.
Nevertheless, conservationists say it is crucial if we'd like to avoid economic and environmental impacts, the likes of which have not been seen since the Chestnut Blight or Dutch Elm Disease.

What a let down
Best Uses
Comments about Bush Vantage Corner Desk, Harvest Cherry:
I love everything about this desk except the back. The back was so badly screwed up by the company that I was forced to give this 2 stars. The back panel is a cardboard cutout that is black on one side and matching wood on the other...the only problem is that the wood side faces inward! So there is a big black cheap looking backside to it, and since the only position I can have it in my condo is facing outward, it is a huge eyesore! The worst part is, according to the manual, I can't leave that part out of it. The manual says that the desk will become unstable and collapse without that flimsy piece of cardboard. I called the company and asked if this black side was a mistake and they informed me that the desk was meant to be up against a wall. Who are they to decide where it will go? And how hard could it have been to make both sides of the back panel wood instead of just one? The woman told me that I could undo all my hard work putting it together and send it back as buyers remorse, but I had worked too long and hard to make it perfect and there was no way I could have repacked that thing.
Would you recommend this product? No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The Fed and the Exodus From Bond ETFs
NEW YORK ( ETF Expert) -- The familiar pattern of May-June gloom for stocks only led to a 5% selloff in 2013. Bonds, however, witnessed a repricing that many had not seen since 1994. Intermediate-term Treasuries lost 7% to 8%. Munis fell more than 10%. Meanwhile, investors trampled emerging market bonds for 12% to14%.
Why did people redeem assets from bond funds so quickly? Why did the pace of those redemptions create liquidity issues for the fixed-income marketplace?
In brief, the Federal Reserve had hinted that it might slow down the rate of its quantitative easing experiment of buying bonds to push rates lower. Consequently, the 10-year yield nearly doubles from 1.6% to 3% in an extremely short time frame.
Many are now suggesting that a future crash in bond funds is a near certainty. They maintain that when rates rise -- not if they rise -- bond mutual funds and bond ETFs will not be able to handle the selling due to a lack of liquidity in the underlying assets.Indeed, during the height of this year's chaos, municipal bond ETFs like PowerShares National Muni (PZA) and iShares S&P National Muni (MUB) were trading at net asset value discounts of 300 basis points for at least a week. In the world of exchange-traded investing, premiums and discounts are supposed to be negligible. Courtesy of StockCharts.com It is probably accurate to say that an erratic jump in fixed-income yields would cause trouble for bond funds yet again. As investors liquidate fixed-income fund positions, the huge number of bonds hitting the marketplace would likely overwhelm bond dealers and the liquidity of the bonds themselves. On the other hand, the Federal Reserve walked back "taper talk" in late June as it became clear that bond selling had been getting away from their control (and manipulation). Volatility notwithstanding, muni price depreciation has abated and muni tax-free income has been valuable ever since. Courtesy of StockCharts.com It follows that the central bank of the United States is aware of its power, not only to cause panic but also to quell panic. In fact, in a world where nearly all of the major banks are fostering exceptionally low interest rates -- in a global environment where the low-rate trend is likely to push forward into 2016, 2017, and 2018 -- a bond fund crash is unlikely. Rising interest rates? Sure. An overnight spike where rates nearly double (the way they did from 1.6% to 3%)? Not probable.

Charles M. Arlinghaus: How the Internet sales tax would unravel the NH Advantage
New Hampshire in particular needs to be careful. The new tax will lead to the elimination of the sales tax competitive advantage that is the foundation of our retail economy.
Under the American tax system, states may apply taxes to entities that have a physical presence (or "nexus") in the state. It would of course be ridiculous to expect an orange grower in Florida to apply your state's sales tax on fruit you buy on vacation or to exempt you if you came from a state with no sales tax. So, in general, one state's tax collector has no authority to reach across state lines and regulate you from beyond the borders.
For decades, mail-order catalogs annoyed state tax collectors. Because they weren't located in a state, they didn't pay taxes to that state just because a local placed an order. After many skirmishes, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the retailer and ruled that taxing a company with no state presence was a violation of the interstate commerce clause.
If mail order companies annoyed tax collectors, the Internet angered them even more. My buying a shirt or book online and not paying sales tax apparently threatens the foundations of democracy.
By the way, how much of a threat to regular stores do you think the Internet is? It's less than you think. Total retail sales in 2012 were $4.3 trillion. The e-commerce share of sales was 5.2 percent of that total.
Nonetheless, Congress is trying to pass a law to force every Internet retailer to collect sales taxes for every jurisdiction in America. That's not 50 different tax schemes. There are 9,646 different tax schemes. For example, in Chicago you would pay sales taxes on a purchase to four different entities - five different ones on certain purchases.
If you are a giant retailer like Amazon.com, this is less of a problem for you because of your size, so you support the law. It won't put you out of business, but it will be a nightmare for your smaller competitors. If you are a small, home-based retailer that does a little business through eBay, you'll just go out of business. Thank you, Congress.
So far, Congress is only punishing the e-commerce people. For the 95 percent of sales that go to "brick-and-mortar" stores, this tax-collection scheme is considered burdensome. (I'm not sure what the pinheads in Congress think it is about using the Internet that makes a regulatory burden not a burden to business conducted online, but then logic is not Washington's strong suit).
Don't expect the state tax collectors to be content with leaving the physical stores alone. Massachusetts has been trying for decades to force New Hampshire retailers to collect sales and use taxes from Massachusetts residents. The Internet sales tax bill gives Massachusetts both a mechanism and a precedent.
If we can force mail-order and Internet companies to collect taxes for more than 9,000 jurisdictions, then how hard will it be for Massachusetts to force tire stores or appliance stores to collect its taxes? The day is not long off when Massachusetts brings action under the new scheme to force our state liquor stores to collect and remit Massachusetts taxes on all those cross-border sales.
Sens. Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen are both opposed to the bill, but the New Hampshire Legislature is technically helping to fund the effort to tax us. The Legislature pays dues to the National Conference of State Legislatures ($126,761 annually to NCSL and others in the current budget draft). The NCSL is pushing this bill as some sort of state tax relief (I'm not making that up) and promises to "continue to advocate vigorously for" the new tax. (By the way, New Hampshire House Speaker Terie Norelli is president of the NCSL.)
When the federal government interferes in state tax policy, it is never to help you pay less. Somehow "reform" always involves you paying more and the politicians having more to control.
Should every retail business in America, large or small, have to collect taxes for all 9,646 different tax jurisdictions? Garage sales, flea markets, the guy selling old records on eBay, an out-of-print book I bought by mail from England?
Congress should stick to destroying the federal government. It's good at that. But I wish it would leave state tax policy alone.

Campbell County High School's varsity baseball opener Monday afternoon at Clinton looked more like two different games.
With three errors against them and faced with the grim prospect of being run-ruled, the Cougars rallied from a 12-0 deficit by scoring half a dozen runs in the top of the fifth inning to stay alive.
Clinton eventually won, 14-8, but Campbell County proved it can play with its District 3-AAA rival when push comes to shove. Ryan Hutson was tagged with loss for the Cougars.
Selflessness and sacrifice have always been trademarks of Jared Laverdiere's game.
From elementary school basketball to the college ranks, he has shown a willingness to share the ball with his teammates and his body with the floor.
Laverdiere just wrapped up a stellar career at Maryville College, where he led the Scots to four conference championships, four 20-win seasons and four appearances in the NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Tournament.
"Jared won over 80 percent of his games while a Scot," said his coach Randy Lambert.
Campbell County High School senior post player Candice Seiber was selected to the Girl's All-Region 2-AAA Basketball Team following her 25-point performance against William Blount in the quarterfinals.
Seiber led the Lady Cougars to a 19-12 record this year.
There was no deviation from the norm Tuesday night during the girl's championship of the District 3-AAA Basketball Tournament at Knox Halls.
Oak Ridge High School (24-5 overall) added a tournament championship to its regular season title with a 75-68 victory over No. 3 seed Campbell County (19-11 overall), which ended a seven-game winning streak for the Lady Cougars.
Campbell County's last loss came at the hands of the Lady Wildcats on Feb. 4, almost three weeks ago.
Having a one-dimensional attack likely cost the Jellico High School boy's basketball team a chance to move on in tournament play.
The Blue Devils (18-11 overall) could not find their shooting touch from long range Saturday night during a 77-59 loss to Grace Christian Academy (GCA) in a Region 2-A quarterfinal game. The defeat eliminated Jellico from the tournament. Meanwhile, the Rams (18-9 overall), who avenged a two-point loss to Jellico on Jan. 9 at Knoxville, advanced to play Harriman in the region semifinals Tuesday at Wartburg.
Basketball tournaments have little margin for error, especially during the elimination rounds.
So when the Campbell County High School girl's basketball team didn't play its best Friday night while hosting a Region 2-AAA quarterfinal game, William Blount was quick to take advantage.
The 2009-10 season hasn't been easy at times for the Oliver Springs Bobcats, as early season injuries and illness made it difficult for Tony Ingram's squad to hit their stride.
Through it all, however, coach Ingram knew that the postseason was all that mattered and now that the Bobcats are playing at 100 percent, they seem to be peaking at just the right time. Jellico found out just how good the Bobcats can be when they're clicking on all cylinders Tuesday night as Oliver Springs bombed the Blue Devils 72-48 to capture the District 4-A Tournament championship.
Sign-ups for LaFollette Little League Baseball and Softball will be held on Saturday, March 6 at the LaFollette Community Center. The time period will be 1-4 p.m. The registration fee is $35 per child.
Bring a copy of your child's birth certificate and three documents that show the address of the child. All children ages 3-15 and who live in Campbell County are eligible to play.
For more information, call Marvin Rutherford at 423-566-1400.
Caryville Youth Baseball sign-ups will be held on Saturday, March 6, from 9 a.m. until noon, at the Caryville Municipal Building.
Campbell County High School's varsity baseball team got a thumbs up from coach Brad Collette during three pre-season scrimmage games Saturday against Knoxville West, Sevier County and Fulton.
After opening with a 4-1 loss to West, the Cougars defeated Sevier County, 2-1, and Fulton, 11-5.
"I was extremely pleased with the way we played on Saturday," said Campbell County coach Brad Collette.

I have heard on the grape vine that Robert Childs is no longer doing the adjudication for the champ section as he is going into hospital for an operation on the Friday before, does anyone know who is taking his place? My source didn't have that information to hand, he said it was someone with a surname beginning with H that used to play cornet for Dyke and Faireys, (Hudson? I can't think of anymore!!)

Band secs should all have had notification of the change of adjudicator by post last week - so if yours hasn't told you yet, kick 'em!
I've been trawling through our old records to see if Mr H has ever adjudicted us before but don't think he has - does anyone have insight into his 'style'? Any major likes or dislikes?

There will also be three other cornets helping out from Cranbrook who are experiencing Stevenage for the first time. I'm trying to thing of something good about it to tell them about.
