The way I've always interpreted this direction is "1 cup sifted flour" means sift the flour first, then measure. "1 cup of flour, sifted" means measure 1 cup of unsifted flour, then sift it.
OMG I thought I was going crazy! My pudding would actually sink to the bottom of the cake as well as the jello in my strawberry cake! I did not realize the boxes were smaller-Go Figure!
Thanks for the info!
Does adding the pudding mix,stop the layers from rising as high? I too am not satisfied with the changes DH made to their boxes of cake mix.. If I try to make a 9 inch cake with one box of mix they look so flat compared to what they used to be. If the pudding mix doesn't make it even flatter I would like to try it.
Hi there ...
I just stumbled on this discussion, yours was the first item that I read, and it is exactly the same conversation I was having earlier this afternoon. So, I'll share what I learned today and in my own kitchen.
The recipe that you have quoted, even with the sparkling water, is almost the same as one I used to use to make years ago ... but bake in a crock pot. Maybe mine had one more egg. I used a large coffee can that filled up most of the crock pot, and a couple stones to keep the can 1/2" off the bottom. There was about an even 1/2" of space all the way around.
I greased the inside of the can, then floured the grease in the can, and used your recipe. Because the temps in the crock pot are no where near the 350 of an oven, (and you want to use High) the cake bakes for quite a long time. This allows even more of the moisture to evaporate and the oil gives you a heavy, dense cake. Whether there is any benefit from the carbonation in the club soda, I don't know. I do remember that I usually used milk, half-n-half, buttermilk, room temperature yogurt, kafir and stuff like that. (A box of double chocolate cake mix is a staple in my pantry. What happens to it next depends on what is floating around in the kitchen. You can't mess up a cake, for pete's sake.)
My favorite cake in the crock pot was double chocolate box cake, a package of chocolate pudding, a package of cherry jello and a can of cherry pie filling. This takes some experimentation to get it perfect. However, just close is incredible. I have tried putting everything in the coffee can and even do the mixing right in the can with moderate success. Then, after an hour or more of baking, depending on where you live. then I would add the cherry pie filling and just stir it in like fruit into jello. If I added the cherries too soon, they would all go to the bottom of the can. Adding later when the cake is a little more firm holds them in place. Then, return the coffee can to the crock pot to bake for as long as it takes. Having all the cherries at the bottom is not a problem if you like upside down cakes. If you wanted a pound cake type to cut nicely for tea, this cake is going to be firm but a little messy. Messy is goooooood. By the way, the coffee can has ridges in it. This will catch the cake and keep it from coming out of the can unless you let the cake cool completely. So, to use it at night, make it in the morning. Or, you can spend some bucks and buy a stainless steel storage can that fits the crockpot.
Remember, this cake is going to be heavy. Try making it with all chocolate, add some rum soaked
raisins, chopped peanuts like the sugary honey roasted ones (the salt makes the cake kind of sweet and sour). My all time best, in my opinion, was all chocolate Including smallish chocolate chunks with honey mustard sourdough pretzel bits ... they come in a brown bag ... crushed up nice and small. In this one, I added the pretzels at the very beginning so they would adsorb some of the liquid (don't be afraid to use chocolate milk) so, in the middle of baking, I just took a spoon and stirred up the mix to move the pretzel bits around. If you are totally out of your mind, Watkins Products sells, and Walmart carries, a Peanut Butter Extract. A dribble of that, the honey mustard pretzels crushed kind of small ... are you getting the idea? How about all chocolate, Peanut Butter Extract, some chopped peanuts and chocolate chunks. Serve with ice cream. And, more chocolate sauce. Wait ... how about sweet orange yogurt sauce ... with mandarin orange chunks ... hmmmm.
Mother John
I have several questions if any one can help that would be lovely. Can anyone tell me if I used box cake with adding the pudding to the mix will this work for a three tier topsy turvy with buttercream only? Will it hold up or be to moist to keep it from falling apart? I am asking because I made a friend a tall three tier cake a few months back made with boxed cake and pudding. I inserted dowels but when I transported it 30 min away and husband was driving carefully. The tiers cake was moving and the top ended up tilting the buttercream softened cake was very moist. I don't want this to happen again as I am new at making a three tier cakes. I was hoping that she wanted fondant on cake but that is not an option for me. Can anyone help me and tell me how do a go about stacking this topsy turvey cake for travel if using boxed cake? Should I stick with homemade? I have to make the three tiered and a large sheet cake. This is for a friend she wants white cake... which brand is best and how much of what should I use if box cake will work?
The top cake will also have a slanted tilt to it. Will the Wilton white plastic separates work to stack this cake? the only thing is that I will not be able to place a center dowel threw it. Also I will be using Edna De La Cruz crusted butter cream icing will this hold up or does anyone know of a better tasting crusted recipe that would work for this type of cake... please help I have to be prepared and i have less than three weeks to go. Thank you for your time.
I found a picture of the size she wanted on line but not sure if I am suppose to post someone else work on here even though I would mention it is not mine. Would like to be able to show you the size let me know if it is okay and I will post it. thx
Here is the link for that cake..

It's difficult to approach the Lancer with proper expectations when it looks so much like its beloved big brother. Same aggressive snout, same racer-boy wing, same cheap interior, but no rally car suspension or hopped up turbo. Buying this car and expecting great performance is a little bit like buying a pair of Air Jordans and trying to dunk from the foul line.
When considered in its proper context though -- that would be, an inexpensive compact car -- the Lancer isn't bad at all. The 2.4-liter is smooth, especially for a large-displacement four-cylinder, and is well-matched with the five-speed manual gearbox. As Evan noted, there's plenty of body roll, but at the speeds this car is capable of traveling on public roads, it's never really an issue.

Feds raid at least 4 dispensaries in Seattle, Olympia, Tacoma
OLYMPIA, WA — Federal agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration launched a new battle in the war against medical marijuana dispensaries in Washington on Wednesday, raiding several medical marijuana dispensaries the Puget Sound region.
A number of dispensaries in the area were closed for business as word of the raids, which began around 11 am PDT, spread among the community.
Raids were reported at Seattle Cross, Tacoma Cross, and Bayside Collective in Olympia, according to Seattle attorney Douglas Hiatt.
"A client of mine who was talking to a D.E.A agent was told that there were going to be 18 places raided today up and down the corridor," said Hiatt, referring to the I-5 corridor that connects the cities.
DEA spokesperson Jodie Underwood confirmed Wednesday that an operation was currently under way, but declined to provide any details about how many dispensaries were being targeted or how many search warrants were being executed.
Addy Norton, an employee at Bayside Collective, told the Olympian that she was "terrified" during this morning's raid, telling the newspaper that DEA agents pointed guns in her face as they entered the building.
Another employee from Bayside Collective, Casey Lee, said that agents took 11 or 12 plants and seized about a quarter pound of marijuana, but did not arrest anyone working at the dispensary, saying they would be federally subpoenaed.
"I don't think we're doing anything wrong here," Lee told the Olympian. "This is really disturbing. We just opened last month."
Lee added that in the short time they have been open, they have done everything they can to comply with Washington state law, which allows medical marijuana collectives to provide cannabis to authorized patients.
Since 2011, federal agents have been cracking down on medical marijuana dispensaries in states that allow them, citing federal supremacy over state laws.
Officials from the US Department of Justice have claimed they are not cracking down on small dispensaries or caregivers helping legitimate patients, only those that they perceive as fronts for drug trafficking, but Lee disagrees.
"We're late on our rent," he said. "We haven't even paid ourselves since we opened."
While other dispensaries in the area closed their doors Wednesday afternoon in fear of being raided, at least one dispensary owner stayed open, who said he was not nervous about being raided.
"We can't stop them from coming in whenever they want to come in," said Louis Johnson, owner of Urban Medicinals.
Jonson said that while they try to follow state law to the best of their ability, closing the door to the dispensary would not stop DEA agents with a warrant, as they would likely break the door down.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Suicide Bombing in Istanbul
October 31, 2010 | 1207 GMT
Suicide Bombing in Istanbul
BULENT KILIC/AFP/Getty Images
A policeman at the scene of a suicide bombing in Istanbul's Taksim
Square on Oct. 31
A suicide bomber detonated explosives near a police bus in Istanbul's
Taksim Square at 10:35 a.m. local time Oct. 31, injuring at least 22
people, including 12 civilians and 10 police. Istanbul police chief
Huseyin Capkin said a second device was found next to the dead
attacker's body. Witnesses said that the attacker tried to approach the
police bus in Taksim Square under the guise of asking for directions,
but the explosive device he was carrying detonated a couple of meters
before he reached the bus. Other witnesses said that the suicide
attacker was shot dead by the police after he detonated a smaller
explosive device of some kind.
Taksim Square is a crowded area in central Istanbul frequented by both
locals and tourists. As such, police are constantly deployed there to
prevent security threats. The hour of the attack, however, suggests that
police and not civilians were the primary target of the attacker (though
civilian casualties were not intentionally avoided), since Taksim Square
would have been much more crowded with civilians in the afternoon and
the evening. Police, and specifically police buses, have been the
frequent target of attacks in Turkey by the Kurdish militant group the
Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in recent months. Even though no militant
group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet and the police chief
said the investigation was ongoing, given the target and timing of the
attack right before a unilateral PKK cease-fire was set to end, it is
likely the work of the PKK, though other militant groups such as
Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP/C) that use suicide
bombers cannot be ruled out.
As STRATFOR has noted, imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan has warned
that the unilateral cease-fire declared by the PKK in August and
extended for another month in September could end at the end of October
over the militant group's dissatisfaction with steps taken by the ruling
Justice and Development Party (AKP) to meet its demands for an
indefinite cease-fire. This stance was repeated by several politicians
of the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy party (BDP). Moreover, the attack
is similar to a previous attack by the PKK against a bus carrying police
in June 2010, again shortly after the PKK declared that the cease-fire
was over. By attacking the police on the last day of October, when the
cease-fire was set to end, the PKK could be sending a blunt message to
the Turkish government that the cease-fire is now over and police are
among its targets in major cities in addition to military outposts in
southeastern Turkey.

Question: What was the highlight of your summer?
Mason and Keegan Cardman
Mason Cardman, 4, and her sister, Keegan, 8, enjoyed spending time with their grandma and grandpa, Karen and Bill Cardman.
"We had tennis, golf and swimming lessons at the Longboat Key Club," Mason said.
Keegan added: "And we saw a turtle nest."
But, most of all, Mason loved, "swimming and the beach."
Jeanine Stebbins
"It was watching my 16-month-old son, Trey, continue to learn. In sign language he was always asking for 'more cookies,' and he did learn how to say 'thank you.' He attends The Learning Chest in Sarasota."
Tom Greeley
"Definitely the highlight of my summer was learning that I am going to become an uncle. My brother, Tim, and his wife, Lauren, are expecting their first baby, a girl, in January. I think they are going to name her Olivia."
Mollie Dutton
"The highlight of my summer was the same as it has been every summer since the late 1950s — spending time at our cottage on Walloon Lake in northern Michigan. It is a wonderful place to relax with family."
Alan Ackerman
"A lot of my friends went to Europe, China and world cruises, but I went to Hayes, Kansas, a little town in the middle of nowhere. I visited an old friend, Chap Rackaway, who is a professor at the university there. It was hotter than blazes and, fortunately, I only stayed three days."
Paulus Egers
"I read a few more books, relaxed a bit, but, really, my summer or vacation time is here on Longboat Key. I am an interior architect from the Netherlands, and each year I visit and stay at our family condo. I am looking forward to a month here."

So pretty. Especially love whats going on in the fourth pic. Really like the basket arrangement with the candles. While I love Christmas more than anything, wish fall had stuck around a little longer...just went by so fast this year. |

Jaybird, you know we love any holiday decor at any time someone wants to post it! Your white dishes and your transferware always look so pretty and they work well with the additon of some fall decor. I see you did the lantern with the gourds/pumpkins, looks really nice. And your table--what a pretty arrangement. I really like the burlap cloth and the soft tones of the leaves with your turkey and all. Great job-very pretty. Luvs |

Never too late, jay! Are you kiddin! First thought, that chocolate turkey would lose some feathers left alone here with me! (well, I hope he's a faux turkey!) Love the arrangement of your white dishes...looks buffet style ...so pretty & the transferware I've grown a great appreciation for since coming on this forum a yr ago...beautiful! Basket of candles & goodies looks warm & inviting sitting on your desk(?) ...but the centerpc is really quite inventive...I like the natural material of burlap...but I really like how you've extended the leaves & berry picks outward like "fanned out turkey tail feathers." and using the acorns & candleholders kind of nesting around the choc guy! Looks pretty cool! TFS! Jeanne S. |

JB. I second what the others have said. Especially bleigh about Fall not hanging around longer. I sure was enjoying my decorations, and everyone else's here, and hated to see them go away this year. So a treat to see yours now! I like it all, especially your pretty turkey. hugs, Karen |

Now that we've celebrated Opening Day, it's time to start talking about the real news this baseball season. No, nothing about Marlins' manager Ozzie Guillen's political opinions, or how long it will take the Boston Red Sox to have a winning record.
The real news is how exponentially better it is to eat and drink in baseball stadiums than ever before. No doubt, ballpark food has been steadily improving for years (credit Boog's BBQ in Camden Yards in the 90s with starting the trend). But this is the best time ever to be eating and drinking while you keep your eyes on home plate. Marlins Park - Miami, Florida Major League Baseball's brand-newest stadium boasts the Taste of Miami Food Court which means outstanding local specialties like Cuban sandwiches and ham croquettes from Latin American Grill and Papo Llega y Pon's ridiculously good roast pork sandwiches.
The Marlins are also being supremely good hosts, featuring signature dishes from the visiting teams' cities when that team rolls into Marlins Park. Say the Red Sox are in town - you'll find lobster rolls. The Brewers means bratwurst. For some teams, that dish might be a little more obscure: When the St. Louis Cardinals were in town for opening day, the special was the city's beloved dish - toasted ravioli.
Rangers Ballpark - Arlington, Texas Look for several new options at the Texas Rangers Ballpark. Notably the $26 Champion Dog, a.k.a. the Boomstick. It's a two-foot long, one-pound hot dog on a custom baked bun with cheese, jalapenos, sautéed onions and chili, with fries on the side.
For reference, a two-foot-long hot dog is roughly two-thirds the length of a baseball bat. And supposedly it serves three to four fans, but in Texas where they do things so big, I'd guess a two-foot-long dog is a single serving.
Angel Stadium - Anaheim, California This year, the Los Angeles Angels are taking their local drink very seriously. The Orange County Register reports on a new stand specializing in craft beer, called Draft Pick (how brilliant is that name?). Draft Pick is serving on-tap selections from Bootlegger's Brewery, like the German-style unfiltered wheat beer Old World Hefeweizen and the award-winning Amarillo pale ale and Orange wheat beers from Hangar 24.
Great American Ball Park - Cincinnati, Ohio Say you want to watch the Cincinnati Reds play at home but eat like you're at the state fair. You'll be happy to know about the Great American Ball Park's new State Fair Stand. Look for lots of fried options: deep-fried pickles; fried bologna sandwiches; fried dough; fried tortillas with a banana inside.
Likewise, the stadium's sports bar Machine Room has a brand new menu this year, with dishes like the Skinny Legs signature hot dog with arugula, avocado, roasted corn and lime mayo. And if you want more hot dog options, try the stadium's Food Network Hot Dog bar, which has both traditional and creative toppings for the Queen City dog.

Fantastic put up, very informative. I wonder why the opposite experts of this sector do not notice this. You must proceed your writing. I am confident, you have a great readers' base already!|What's Taking place i'm new to this, I stumbled upon this I've discovered It positively useful and it has helped me out loads. I am hoping to contribute & help different customers like its aided me. Great job.
Excellent goods from you, man. I have be mindful your stuff prior to and you're just extremely excellent. I actually like what you have acquired right here, certainly like what you're saying and the best way in which you say it. You're making it entertaining and you continue to care for to keep it sensible. I can't wait to read much more from you. This is actually a great web site.
26 dollars for a f-ing hot dog? that my friends is an example of what is wrong with america......
and by the way...i don't care if the hot dog is 10 ft long, i'm not paying 26 bills for it
What about the Schmitter at Citizen's Bank Park in Philly?
Gotta include the Sheboygan at the "K" in Kansas City. Huge brat covered in peppers, onions and kraut, then topped off with Boulevard spicy mustard. No trip to the ballpark is complete without one.
WHAT!!!! How do you mention Cincy and NOT mention Skyline Chili!!
Don't remind me of Skyline chili..I've still got stains in my Baseball Uniform from that stuff.
How could you leave out the garlic fries at AT&T Park? The best ballpark food anywhere!
Those garlic fries are -evil!- I was in SF for a Giants/Dodgers doubleheader a few years ago, and am still telling friends "You gotta try those fries when you see the Giants."
Yanks fan here, but CitiField has got to be up there with Shake Shack and Blue Smoke BBQ. The line at Shake Shack is easily 2 innings long.........
Anyone know if Atlanta still has the worst food in MLB?
Seattle's hot dog buns are so stale they crumble into pieces when you take a bite.
Why would anyone get a hot dog at Safeco? Try Ivar's (fish n chips), Grounders/Kidd Valley (burgers and garlic fries), Holy Smoke! (bbq sandwiches), or Rice N Roll (Japanese) for the good stuff. Or spruce it up a bit and reserve a table a the Hit It Here Cafe overlooking left field. So many better options than hot dogs....not to mention the 30+ beers on tap in The 'Pen in center field.
Turner Field has some pretty great BBQ and bison burgers.
Oh, how i wish I was back in SoCal at an Angels game to enjoy Hangar24 beer from my hometown of Redlands!
hey .... how you all doing?
"For reference, a two-foot-long hot dog is roughly the length of a baseball bat."
Nice journalism.
It says "roughly two-thirds the length of a baseball bat" which is fairly accurate.
Nice quoting.
Editing mistake. Fixed. Thanks!

(Updates with comments by Ouattara in third paragraph.)
Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Ivory Coast aims to increase its gold production to 17 metric tons in 2015 and 25 tons in 2020, President Alassane Ouattara said.
To meet the goal Ivory Coast will have to step up exploration, revise the mining code and be more efficient and transparent in granting permits, Ouattara said today at the inauguration of the Tongon mine, operated by London-based Randgold Resources Ltd., in the north of the country.
"The Tongon mine is a first step toward our ambition to turn mining into a key sector in the economic and social development of Ivory Coast," Ouattara said. "The mining sector could create tens of thousands jobs."
Tongon will bring Ivory Coast's annual gold output to 13 tons, said Adama Toungara, the minister of mines and energy.
"We aim to make mining the second sector of our economy after agriculture," Toungara said.

Send Michael a message explaining your needs and you will receive a response by email. Have you already emailed Michael or another tutor? If so, you have an account! Sign in now
If you select this option, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
I have been a tutor for the past ten years, working with under privileged students in my home town of Peoria, Illinois. The experiences I have had are an integral part of my life. Of the many students I've had over the years, they have all found a way into my heart. It has been a great privilege of mine to work with special needs children as well, thus my training is quite extensive and diverse. The primary subjects I have taught range from general elementary education through high school science. I have specialized in English, Literature, History, Philosophy and Art, as well as maintaining a keen understanding of human psychology.
The teaching methods I have developed are very meticulous, which allows my students to investigate the details of what they are learning and apply them to the world outside of their books. Teaching is a great passion of mine and I hope to inspire that same passion for learning in my students. The most effective results transpire when the student is completely engaged in the material at the same level as myself. This requires great discipline, fortitude and patience to accomplish. These are the values I try to foster and they have proven to be quite successful over the years.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have worked as a fine art photographer for about seven years now, and I have acquired a great deal of knowledge about it. My technical proficiencies are vast, ranging from 35mm film through digital SLR cameras, as well as studio lighting equipment. My work is photodocumentary in nature and I have done a great deal of traveling in order to find incredibly interesting characters for portrayal. In my view, photography is a way to communicate with other people and exchange ideas through catharsis.
Standard Hourly Fee: $40.00

This brings back memories – oh what a time was had watching as Mum & Dad preserved all these goodies and what excitement when the decision was finally made to open them, especially the preserved fruit.

Summary: His second major venture into nonfiction (after Death in the Afternoon, 1932), Green Hills of Africa is Ernest Hemingway's lyrical journal of a month on safari in the great game country of East Africa, where he and his wife Pauline journeyed in December of 1933. Hemingway's well-known interest in -- and fascination with -- big-game hunting is magnificently captured in this evocative account of his trip. In examining the poetic grace of the chase, and the ferocity of the kill, Hemi ...show morengway also looks inward, seeking to explain the lure of the hunt and the primal undercurrent that comes alive on the plains of Africa. Yet Green Hills of Africa is also an impassioned portrait of the glory of the African landscape, and of the beauty of a wilderness that was, even then, being threatened by the incursions of man. Hemingway's rich description of the beauty and strangeness of the land and his passion for the sport of hunting combine to give Green Hills of Africa the freshness and immediacy of a deeply felt personal experience that is the hallmark of the greatest travel writing. ...show less

By Emily Rems in Feminism on Mar 31, 2010
The Chicago Reader's Jessica Hopper reported yesterday that on the revived Lilith Fair's Facebook page, fans are encouraged to choose a women's charity in their hometown to receive $1 for every ticket sold to the Lilith concert in that city. Cool right? But the truth about what organizations are in the running for this grant is not so cool. According to Hopper:
"Minneapolis and Indianapolis fans are given the option of supporting Metro Women's Center and Indianapolis Life Center, respectively—institutions whose approach to women's reproductive health services (especially birth control and abortion) is guided by an explicitly anti-choice agenda. Several other cities, including Atlanta and Seattle, have potential beneficiaries that offer so-called abortion alternatives and faith-driven pregnancy counseling."
These anti-abortion religious groups are by no means the only organizations fans can vote for. But it's pretty disturbing that they are casually mixed in there among other potential beneficiaries who are much more in keeping with the fest's seemingly feminist ethos. When Hopper contacted Lilith co-founder Terry McBride about the selection process for Lilith Fair's charities, here's what he told her:
"McBride insists that the Lilith organization hasn't changed its principles and that it didn't 'purposefully' select the anti-choice groups featured on the Facebook voting site. He says the organizers haven't even read the mission statements that appear there. 'What is posted are the results of the most cursory search, and it's really up to each community to help us decide,' he says. 'We aren't the experts, and so it needs to be up to people working in those communities.'"
Be that as it may, it seems to me like the folks at Lilith should really decide what side of this issue they're on before they let people vote. Doesn't inclusion on their voting ballot at all come off as a form of tacit endorsement? It does to me, but maybe I'm just being a cranky feminist.

The 14th Amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The rich got richer in 2000, according to a study by the Internal Revenue Service released Wednesday night.
A separate IRS report released Thursday showed that in 2000 there were nearly 2.8 million "high-income" returns, those with adjusted gross income of at least $200,000. That's a 14.1 percent increase from 1999 (the total number of filed returns increased just 1.8 percent in that time).
The first study shows that in 2000 the wealthiest 400 taxpayers in the United States accumulated nearly $70 billion in adjusted gross income. That marked 1.1 percent of total AGI versus 0.5 percent in 1992.
Members of this elite group had AGI of at least $86.8 million, a big increase from $67.4 billion in 1999. The IRS did not say how much income the No. 1 filer had.
Though its share of total reported AGI more than doubled, the group's share of the total tax burden grew at a slower pace. The group's share of the tax burden grew to 1.6 percent from 1.04 percent in 1992. The average tax rate for the group, meanwhile, declined to 22.3 percent in 2000, from 26.4 percent in 1992 and a high of 29.9 percent in 1995.
Had President Bush's latest tax cuts been in effect in 2000, the amount of taxes paid by the wealthiest Americans would have dropped an additional 20 percent, according to analysis by the New York Times.
According to the IRS, here were the key sources of income for the wealthiest 400 taxpayers and how they changed as a percentage of the group's AGI.
Salaries and wages: 16.7 percent of AGI in 2000 versus 26.2 percent in 1992.
Long-term capital gains: 64 percent in 2000 versus 33 percent in 1992.
Taxable interest: 3.9 percent in 2000 versus 7.4 percent in 1992.
Dividends: 2.8 percent in 2000 versus 5.8 percent in 1992.
