More is Less: Tax Gap Study Shows Increased IRS Efforts Yielded Lower-than-Expected Returns
The IRS will need help to reduce the $450 billion annual loss to the US Treasury.
On Jan. 6, the IRS released its latest measurement of the tax gap, a staggering $450 billion a year, 30% more than the previous tax gap study five years earlier. The tax gap is the amount of taxes that are owed but not paid to the US Treasury by individuals, businesses, employers, estates and other taxpayers. The IRS last measured the tax gap in 2005, using data from 2001 tax returns. The most recent update is a measurement of 2006 return data that was compiled from IRS data and the examination of 14,000 random tax returns.
To put the numbers in perspective, the national budget deficit was $248 billion in 2006. With a tax gap of $450 billion for the same year, the national loss in uncollected taxes might seem unacceptable to many Americans.
In fact, that's exactly how the IRS views it. The tax gap is made up of three components, each representing a breach with tax laws that the IRS expects taxpayers to follow.
- Non-filing: $28 billion a year lost to taxpayers who don't file required tax returns
- Underreporting: $376 billion a year lost to taxpayers who don't report income or overstate deductions and credits on tax returns
- Underpayment: $46 billion a year lost to taxpayers who don't pay what they owe
The new tax gap study also revealed that the overall compliance rate slipped slightly from 83.7% to 83.1%. However, the IRS noted that, when accounting for the study's margin of error, the compliance rate is relatively unchanged from the 2001 data.
Either way, the IRS has much to do to reach its target goal of an 86% voluntary compliance rate for tax year 2009 and Congress' goal of 90% voluntary compliance by 2017, both of which will be measured in the next decade. Legislators and the IRS may have to face the facts: To achieve voluntary compliance and close the tax gap, the IRS can't do it alone. Traditionally, the IRS has used compliances initiatives such as notices, audits and voluntary disclosure programs. However, to meet its compliance goals, the IRS will need help from Congress.
Tax gap study reveals challenges the IRS faces.
The IRS has some effective tools to collect taxes that it knows taxpayers owe. These tools include audits, liens, levies, matching programs and discrepancy notices. In 2001, the IRS used enforcement methods like these to increase the voluntary compliance rate from 83.7%to a net compliance rate of 86.3%, after enforcement collections. In doing so, the IRS collected an additional $55 billion. In 2006, the voluntary compliance rate was measured at 83.1%. The IRS used enforcement to raise the net compliance rate to 85.5%, collecting an additional $65 billion. Even though the IRS collected $10 billion more in 2006 than in 2001, the compliance rate slipped by almost a full percent.
A 1% change in the voluntary compliance rate represents almost $27 billion a year to the US Treasury. If the IRS met Congress' goal of 90% voluntary compliance, that would mean an additional $184 billion. From 2001 to 2006, the IRS increased its enforcement efforts to a far greater extent than the outcomes it realized. In that time, the IRS budget increased 21%, from $8.7 billion to $10.6 billion, and the compliance enforcement budget increased 36%, from $3.4 billion to $4.65 billion.
IRS compliance activity increases are shown below:
The IRS increased its compliance efforts disproportionately to the increase in individual and business taxpayers. In fact, from 2001 to 2010, the number of taxpayers increased by only 11%, from 141 million to 156 million individuals and businesses. But despite all of these efforts, the tax gap still increased by 30% from 2001 to 2006.
The biggest challenge the IRS faces in noncompliance is underreporting, which makes up 83% of the tax gap. From 2001 to 2006, despite 191% more underreporting inquiries and 72% more audits, underreporting still contributed $376 billion to the tax gap.
Individual small business taxpayers (Schedule C sole proprietors) represent almost half (48%) of all underreporting, or $179 billion a year in uncollected taxes. From 2001 to 2006, small business underreporting increased 21%. Taxpayers who report their own income, such as small businesses and independent contractors, are responsible for the most underreporting. Other individuals who receive income that is not reported to the IRS, such as landlords, make up a considerable remainder of underreporting noncompliance.
Without information statement reporting on these businesses and transactions, the IRS is left to "audit its way" to compliance. The tax gap data from 2001 to 2006 shows that the IRS cannot win that battle.
2001 and 2006 conclusions: The IRS cannot do it alone.
There are two major components of the tax gap that the IRS can't do much about: requiring information statement reporting and simplifying the tax code.Since 2001, tax law has grown exponentially. As the IRS Taxpayer Advocate illustrates, from 2001 to 2010, Congress made 4,428 changes to the tax code – an average of more than one per day. Tax reform, and more specifically, tax simplification, would help reduce the tax gap. But it probably would not address many issues related to underreporting for small businesses and other nonreportable transactions, such as asset sales.
The 2001 and 2006 tax gap studies illustrate the importance of information reporting in compliance. According to the IRS, taxpayers who receive Forms W-2 and 1099, such as wage earners and retirees, are almost completely (99%) compliant. Taxpayers who self report their income and don't receive information statements, such as small businesses and independent contractors, are only 44% compliant. A 2010 IRS Oversight Board Taxpayer Attitude study showed that 66% of Americans surveyed said that information statements influenced their accurate reporting of income and deductions. Besides personal integrity, information reporting was cited as the most significant factor influencing compliance. This bolsters what some view as an IRS perception that "trust is good, but control is better."Information statements allow the IRS to better control compliance.
In the past, the IRS has been successful using information statements. The IRS receives more than 2.7 billion information statements each year. IRS systems trace these statements to individuals who have not filed or not reported all of their income on Form 1040. The IRS also uses these statements to question the validity of deductions and credits. For example, the IRS can match the returns of taxpayers claiming a Homebuyer Credit against Forms 1099-S for property sales in the past three years to determine possible ineligibility.
In 2010, the IRS started 6 million compliance inquiries for underreporters based on information statement matching. That was almost four times the number of 2001 inquiries. The IRS collected an additional $1,670 per tax return, on average, from taxpayers who underreported their income. However, because underreporting initiatives are usually centered on the most compliant taxpayers -- individuals who receive information statements and not cash-based small businesses -- the IRS can obtain only $5.2 billion a year from this program. That represents only a small fraction of the $450 billion tax gap.
In 2010, Congress passed new Form 1099 reporting requirements that were set to take effect for 2011 payments to businesses. This law would have required businesses to send Forms 1099 for all purchases of goods and services of more than $600 annually. As a result, the IRS would have received a wave of information statements to track nonfilers and underreporters. However, under heavy bipartisan pressure, the law was repealed in April 2011.
In another measure passed by Congress and set to take effect this year, the IRS will receive information from merchant card payers that may help with compliance. The IRS is expecting about 56 million new Forms 1099-K that will report credit card payments and third-party payments from banks and other payment sources, such as PayPal. For some businesses, these additional information statements will trigger unreported income inquiries by the IRS. Estimates have varied for how much in additional taxes the IRS will collect through the Form 1099-K requirements. Although there are no reliable estimates, the IRS estimates that the Form 1099-K reporting will generate about $1 billion a year in additional tax revenue. The IRS thinks it will have an impact on voluntary compliance for small businesses.
While the IRS can benefit from Congressional initiatives on information reporting, the legislation is typically unpopular with taxpayers and businesses -- similar to the 2010 Form 1099 reporting requirements that were repealed. Heading into an election year, the IRS probably can't look to Congress for much immediate help.
The IRS is moving forward.
The IRS hasn't wasted any time streamlining its own compliance efforts. From 2007 to 2010, the IRS used findings from the previous two tax gap studies to focus on specific compliance areas. The following are examples of current IRS efforts.
Worker reclassification. The IRS is the middle of a three-year study on worker classification. The IRS' objective is to properly classify workers, knowing that employees are 99% compliant. This initiative targets small business employers who file more than 85% of all employment tax returns.
Audits. The IRS is focusing on certain audit areas.
With little information reporting and a 53% error rate by taxpayers, rental property is a primary audit area for the IRS to reduce the tax gap.
The IRS is also focusing on S corporations. The IRS knows that about two out of three S corporations are single-owner entities that operate similar to sole proprietorships. The IRS is particularly interested in taxpayers who deduct S corporation losses. A US Government Accountability Office study showed that S corporation losses are overstated by an average of $21,600 per return. This misreporting is due largely to the failure of tax practitioners (who prepare more than 90% of S corporation returns) to consider whether the shareholder has basis to deduct the losses.
The IRS is getting more sophisticated with small business audits. It has asserted its authority to examine original small business electronic files, and although the results are not in yet, the IRS expects much better outcomes in these exams. In any event, the publicity associated with this IRS initiative will encourage taxpayers and their practitioners look more closely at the returns they file to make sure their records agree with the returns.
High-income taxpayers will continue to see IRS audits. In 2011, individuals with income of more than $1 million were audited 12.4% of the time, up from 8.4% in 2010. In 2010, IRS audits in this segment yielded more than $155,000 in additional taxes owed per tax return examined.
Foreign bank accounts. Taxpayers can expect to get questions about reporting of foreign bank accounts. In 2009 and 2011, the IRS used offshore voluntary compliance initiatives that corralled 33,000 taxpayers with unreported foreign accounts. These initiatives brought $4.4 billion to the US Treasury. The IRS announced Jan. 9 that it has reopened the initiative to foster taxpayer compliance with foreign bank account reporting. While the IRS encourages voluntary compliance in this area, it's also serious about prosecution. In fact, in 2011, overall prosecutions for tax-related criminal cases increased by 11%.
Deputize practitioners. Consider that more than 60% of individuals use a tax preparer, and about 90% of S corporations and partnerships use a paid professional to do their taxes. Compliance is best leveraged through practitioners. Hence, in the past three years, the IRS has instituted:
- Preparer registration and annual educational requirements
- Increased penalties for preparer negligence
- Increased due diligence requirements for high noncompliance areas, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit
- Elimination of the IRS "debt indicator," which preparers used for refund-anticipation loans – a contributor to erroneous refund noncompliance
State information. To find potential areas of noncompliance, the IRS can leverage the use of more state information. Recently, the IRS displayed its willingness to use this method in the gift tax area, when it was successful in enforcing a John Doe summons to the State of California to obtain the names of individuals with property transfers. The IRS will use this information, as it has done in 15 other states, to find taxpayers who haven't filed gift tax returns. For small businesses, the IRS can look to leverage information at the state and local level to initiate various compliance projects. For example, the IRS currently uses state employment information in employment tax audits. However, initiatives like these are resource intensive, and the IRS is going to have fewer resources in 2012 than it had in 2011.
Doing more with less. The IRS is facing a $305 million budget cut in 2012. But Shulman will not sacrifice an effective filing season. If the IRS cuts resources, it will be in compliance. Last year, the IRS offered some employees a buyout to reduce its compliance-related expenses. This year, the IRS will likely lose about 1,000 employees by attrition.
In the future, the IRS will have to do even more with less. For example, it will have to administer the upcoming 2014 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The IRS has already absorbed some of the new tax laws associated with the PPACA. However, in total, it will have to administer 47 new tax laws and collect what is projected to be more than $400 billion in additional taxes before 2020.
Looking ahead. Given the IRS' stagnating resources and increasing work, it must use a cost-effective approach. Using insight from the past two tax gap studies, the IRS has aimed to focus and improve its compliance efforts in areas where it can collect more taxes.
But, as evidenced in the latest tax gap data, the IRS can't drastically increase compliance with this approach alone. For the IRS, substantially narrowing the tax gap will mean legislative changes, such as new information statement requirements and simplification of the tax code.
Without major changes like these, future tax gap numbers aren't likely to go anywhere but up.

I've heard it said that there are a finite number of basic plots for a novel. Things like "the quest," "the coming of age," "the discovery," etc. ...that all stories at the simplest level fall into one of the set number of plot structures. I've also seen books panned because "the plot is derivative." Eragon, which I happen to like btw, has dozens of one and two-star reviews on Amazon, the majority of which decry the story for being a rip off of LotR and Star Wars. Thing is, Lucas "borrowed" much of his plot from Arthurian legend, and Tolkien, all-time-master-story-teller that he is, borrowed heavily from Norse traditions. So my question is twofold: 1. Are there plotlines out there that have just been "done to death?" 2. What can an author do to revive or renew familiar plots so that they will feel original to the reader?
I can't speak for the Eragon book, but the movie I felt was largely a rip-off of Star Wars, and I mean plot point by plot point: Young heroic character has older relative killed and house burned down, meets crazy old mentor, breaks into fortress and rescues princess while mentor is mortally wounded while fighting sorcerer (Hello Death Star and Darth Vader), heroic character retreats to secret rebel base, hero engages in climatic aerial battle with sorcerer (Think Luke and Vader over Death Star). Other fantasy flicks like Dungeons and Dragons and Willow, even if they had similaries to LOTR or Star Wars, didn't feel that slavishly derivitive. Phew! Okay, now on to the questions! Plots done to death? I think if you add nothing to the plot, it will feel worn out and tired. The neat thing about Star Wars was that it was those old Arthurian legends redressed in science fiction trappings. I think, as an author, you would want to say something that you feel someone hasn't said before, or has said and you don't agree with, or you think could be clarified, and so on. You can do all of that in the context of these basic plots. The Door Within is a coming of age story, but as you've also said, it's about finding out there's more to life than what we see with our own eyes. I do sometimes think that certain genre conventions might need to be scaled back some. For my first fantasy story, I threw in a no "dragons, wolves or lions" rule because they've all been done. What else could I add to them? Maybe in the future, lighting will strike and I'll include a dragon, but for the moment, I look at the fantasy landscape and wonder how my story would be distinctive. So I go looking for less explored territory. I think there are two very common plots in fantasy. I addressed one of them in a Spec Faith post: Youngster or youngsters from Earth are transported to a fantasy realm, where they typically battle a dark force threatening the land. C.S. Lewis did it, a certain author named Wayne Thomas Batson did it )) and so on. And having digested a lot of Japanese animation, it's even more common there, so this plot is as familiar as old socks. Sharon Hinck did a nice variant on it by having a soccer mom make the journey. I tried putting some plot twists on the story myself in my revised Rigel Chase story. I think, even though this is getting to be very familiar, you can still do a lot with it by creating different worlds and looking at how it relates to our real world. Also, there's the "YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE!" story, which we've seen a lot from Star Wars, The Matrix, Dune, the Terminator movies, and Lord of the Rings. Here, basically an unwitting chap is yanked from his regular, hum-drum life and is told he has a special destiny, in many ways it's a variant on Christ's story. This plot, to be honest, is one I think needs to be retired or at least semi-retired, because the moment the bearded (or in Morpheus' case, the shaded) one reveals the chosen one's destiny, the suspense is pretty much gone. You know he's going to receive his special powers or whatever and defeat the evil forces, because "he's the chosen one." (I know Lucas made Anakin the chosen one, but he turned out to be a bad guy, and I still don't understand what Lucas was trying to tell us with that) I just think things like that, and old prophesies fortelling the hero's fate, really sucks a lot of anticipation out of the story, unless it's done really really well. I'd put Bryan Davis in this category because he made his prophecies into poems and put in a little wiggle room in the prophecies so that what happened next wasn't quite so obvious. Okay. I'm done for now. Phew!
Awww, mannnn, Jason, just wait for my next fantasy series. I am SO going to turn this cliche on its head.
The Chosen One The Chosen One as overused plotline: I had to speak up on this one. I do agree it is a bit overused, but I still like it. I don't think it always lends itself to a Messiah figure though. I think what appeals to me is the fact that we are all chosen. We each have a destiny to fulfill. The question is, are we willing to make the choice to be chosen. I guess I am not a fatalist, so I don't expect a prophecy will necessarily be fulfilled exactly as spoken or written. When you know a character is the fulfillment of a prophecy, you tend to expect them to be infallible. As galacticlord said, you pretty much know what is going to happen. What I like, and what I am trying to do in my own writing, is to show how the hero/heroine has to make choices along the way that will lead to the fulfillment. And sometimes they make bad choices that keep the prophecy from being completed. The suspense comes for the reader when they wonder if it can be fixed and when they find themselves saying "you idiot, why'd you do that, you should have turned left like the wizard told you!". I enjoyed Bryan Davis' books because his hero does make bad/questionable decisions. I remember being surprised about that. I suppose my particular worldview affects my perspective since I've been thinking alot about how our decisions affect our life. As far as other overused plotlines, there is always the love triangle, especially when it involves best friends of the opposite sex. There's the evil technologically advanced alien plotline in sci-fi. Or conversely, the highly advanced conservationist mind reading aliens who think earthlings are animals so they can't be part of the galactic empire unless they prove themselves worthy. I think for me it is the overused characters that bother me more than overused plotlines. The brutish claymore wielding King who thinks only of war and honor, the wise wizard that never actually does anything useful. The superintelligent chamberlain who manipulates the brutish king. The sensitive prince who cares more for his people than his position. The girl who doesn't know she's beautiful and captures the heart of the sensitive prince who loves his people. I could go on, but I won't. The second part of your question is much harder to answer. It's something I ask myself on a daily basis. I think unhappy endings are sometimes an attempt to make a familiar plot original. I was just thinking about Robin McKinley's retellling of several well-known tales. She has done Beauty and the Beast twice, and although there are similarities, the endings are completely different and both seem fresh and original. I think a lot of people try to give their characters odd quirks to make them seem different. It takes the focus off the tired plotline. I hope I made sense. I've just been thinking about this all day, so I wanted to write before I forgot what I was thinking.
interesting... One thing I would add to this discussion is that engaging characters which are thoughtfully written can overcome the cliched storyline. As far as the chosen one storyline: I'm through book two of Jonathan Rogers "Wilderking Trilogy" and his young character is so well written that you just want to read more. The story even has a unique twist in that the basic "chosen one" premise parallels the story of young king david from the bible. The prophet choses him from among his older brothers, the youngest and smallest, a sheperd boy. He ignites the fires of hope in his bewildered countrymen by slaying the enemy's giant champion. this might seem like he's ripping it off, but it's been done in such a fresh way and with so many additives brought in that you have the familiarity of a wonderful story and the fresh twists that make it seem new and invigorating. I think if you can write the characters in such a way as to make them beloved in of themselves then you can overcome those cliches because the characters become alive to the reader and they still want to cheer for them...no matter the plotline. This is where the writer has an opportunity to engage the reader. Let me give you an example from ISLE OF SWORDS. Wayne has given us an evil villian -- nothing new there. We've seen the way-evil villian guy in tons of other stories. But it is the ability to pull you right into their world and their mind that causes the reader to become engrossed with them all over again--not on the basis of being "run-of-the-mill evil villian," but because he puts you in their head...gives you the unique qualities of this particular character. You see the villian for his individuality rather than his commonality with other similar characters in other stories. This kind of writing draws you in rather than repelling the reader. What makes DArth Vader such a great character? In ANH he was just run-of-the-mill...though we hadn't seen such a character in this manner, because of the great sci-fi and it was all new to us then...but now? NO, he would be very run-of-the-mill now...except for the fact that as the story progresses, we are called in closer to the inner conflict...something is boiling beneath the surface we can't figure out until--BAM!--"I AM YOUR FATHER, LUKE!" Whoa, baby...now we've been sucked in and it all thickens dramatically. Now we've got to know how he became evil, and what he will do when it comes to being ultimate baddie or redeemed baddie...see what I mean. Twists like these and making the characters themselves as real to us as possible can overcome the cliched plotline everytime. The trick is to look for the twists and really get the reader into the characters head...hidden motives, etc. James
My two cents Probably just one cent's worth (since I'm just a reader and wannabe author), but... There's a reason why certain plotlines are over-done. People like them. If a plot line works, writers are going to keep using it - and the reading public is going to keep wanting more of it. Of course, a lot depends on whether you're out for literary respectability or commercial success. If the former, disregard what I said. Go for originality. (Although, even here, I'd say the "originality" is just well-disguised composites of already used plotlines). If the latter (commercial success), then I think we go with what works - so long as we maintain a sense of ethics in doing so. I've got no problem, for instance, with Paolini borrowing from Star Wars. My problem with Paolini is his books are too slow. He takes too long with his descriptions. And the story tends to drag along. His books are much longer than they need to be. But that's my opinion. Otherwise, I have enjoyed both Eragon and Eldest. The book Eragon was much better than the movie.
Brian--welcome aboard over here...and thanks again for the interview! I would agree with what you've said...in fact, publishers tend to look for well established plotlines. When something is so far out there readers aren't likely to connect with it, the publishers / agents will pass it by many times as unsaleable. Truth be told, people like familiar territory. I listened to the audio for Eragon. I enjoyed it, but it was very, very long even in that format. This is where I would have to give kudos to WAyne's books--he really does keep things moving along. I've recently finished the Wilderking Trilogy by Jonathan Rogers and this could be said for Jonathan as well. He really keeps things moving, so you never get bored. In fact, I'd say The Wilderking Trilogy goes right up on my best loved list--right next to Door Within. Isle of Swords is shaping up to be a great trilogy as well...loved it! James
I think the discussion here is essential reading for hopeful authors. It's not that familiar or even cliched plotlines are off limits. But if you use them, then some other element of your story must stand out as particularly interesting: maybe your characters are so engaging that the reader will want to follow them anywhere. Maybe your setting is so lush and enchanting that your readers will want to read just to spend time there. Or maybe, beneath the cliched surface plot there is a "deep story" that hits the reader where they live. This is harder to do, but theme development, take home value so to speak, is what I believe separates a "good read" from the "book that is dear to you."
In the book I'm writing, I use the "character in a murderous family" plotline, but the way it's resolved... not so normal. I'm hoping to lure the reader into a false sense of security before slapping them upside the head. Well, I like it at least!
Sounds cool, ALEXRIDER--BTW I loved the Alex Rider novel series. I think Scorpia and Arkangel were my favorites. Very cool. James
A professor of a friend of mine said it best: There's only one story. There's everyday life and then something different happens. The rest is just details.

Georgia receiver Reggie Davis (81) hauls in a pass for a touchdown against North Texas defensive back Zac Whitfield in the first half Saturday. (John bazemore / Associated Press / September 21, 2013) |
ATHENS, Ga. -- Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score, and led No. 9 Georgia to a 45-21 victory over pesky North Texas on Saturday.
Murray overcame an early interception in the end zone, hooking up with freshman Reggie Davis on a 98-yard TD — the longest pass play in school history. Arthur Lynch and Chris Conley also had touchdown catches for the Bulldogs (2-1).
The Mean Green (2-2) came in as a 33-point underdog, but big plays on special teams helped make a game of it. Brelan Chancellor returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown, and Zac Whitfield fell on a blocked punt in the end zone early in the second half to stunningly tie the game at 21.
Murray made sure the Bulldogs avoided the upset. He scored on a 1-yard sneak and went to Conley on a 4-yard TD.
No. 4 Ohio State 76, Florida A&M 0
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Kenny Guiton again starred in place of the injured Braxton Miller, setting a school record with six touchdown passes — all in the first half — to lead No. 4 Ohio State to a 76-0 victory against Florida A&M.
It was the most lopsided Ohio State win since 1935.
The Buckeyes (4-0) needed a total of four offensive plays and 46 seconds to go up 21-0 in the opening 6 minutes and never looked back. It was an epic mismatch between a team with national-title aspirations and a Football Championship Subdivision member getting a $900,000 guarantee.
FAMU (1-3), which suffered its worst loss ever, trailed 48-0 before picking up its initial first down in the second quarter.
Guiton completed 24 of 34 passes for 215 yards.
No. 7 Louisville 72, Florida International 0
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Teddy Bridgewater threw four touchdown passes and Louisville's defense allowed a school-record 30 yards, helping the seventh-ranked Cardinals blow out Florida International, 72-0.
It was the highest scoring game for the Cardinals (4-0) since a 73-10 victory over Murray State in 2007. It also matched the school's fourth-largest margin of victory.
Bridgewater hit DeVante Parker for two TD passes and Gerald Christian and Eli Rogers for one each before Will Gardner came in to throw another touchdown to Michaelee Harris in the fourth quarter. Dominique Brown, Senorise Perry, Michael Dyer and Brandon Radcliff rushed for scores.
Charles Gaines returned the second-half kickoff 93 yards for a TD and recovered a muffed punt to set up Bridgewater's second TD pass in the second quarter. Louisville's defense meanwhile didn't allow FIU (0-4) a first down until early in the second quarter and just two overall.
SEATTLE -- Keith Price threw for 213 yards and three touchdowns in less than a half, Deontae Cooper scored his first career touchdown after three major knee surgeries, and No. 17 Washington routed Idaho State, 56-0, in the Huskies' final tuneup before the start of Pac-12 Conference play.
Bishop Sankey, the national leader in yards rushing per game, barely broke a sweat against the Bengals (2-1) of the FCS. Sankey saw action on the Huskies' (3-0) first three series and scored on a 3-yard TD run in the first quarter. Sankey finished with 77 yards on four carries.
Price played a little more than 1 1/2 quarters, throwing TD passes of 1, 6 and 5 yards and adding a 1-yard TD run as the Huskies led 42-0 at halftime. It was the second straight season the Huskies overwhelmed a lower division opponent in the first half. Last year, Washington led Portland State 45-0 at halftime.
No. 18 Northwestern 35, Maine 21
EVANSTON, Ill. -- Linebacker Damien Proby and defensive end Dean Lowry each had an interception return for a touchdown to lead No. 18 Northwestern to a 35-21 win over Maine on Saturday.
Northwestern improved to 4-0 as it wrapped up its non-conference slate, but this was not the consistent, steady performance coach Pat Fitzgerald was looking for heading into the Big Ten season. If not for the interception returns for scores, Maine (3-1) very well could have been shooting for an upset down the stretch.
Running back Mike Trumpy and quarterback Kain Colter each had rushing touchdowns for Northwestern. Marcus Wasilewski was 25-for-40 for 237 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for Maine, which had a 379 to 373 edge over the Wildcats in total yards. Northwestern had posted better than 500 yards of offense in each of its first two games against California and Syracuse.
No. 19 Florida 31, Tennessee 17
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- After starting quarterback Jeff Driskel was lost to a season-ending ankle injury, Tyler Murphy led No. 19 Florida to five scores in a somewhat ugly game, helping the Gators open Southeastern Conference play with a 31-17 victory over Tennessee.
Murphy had a 52-yard touchdown throw to Solomon Patton, a swing pass that went the distance, and made several plays with his legs as Florida (2-1, 1-0 SEC) won its ninth consecutive game in the series.
Murphy's 7-yard TD scamper in the fourth quarter made it 31-10 and sent fans scrambling for the exits.
The Volunteers (2-2, 0-1) had hoped to rebound from an embarrassing, 59-14 loss at No. 2 Oregon a week ago. Instead, Tennessee and first-year coach Butch Jones left Gainesville with another double-digit setback.
No. 20 Baylor 70, Louisiana Monroe 7
WACO, Texas -- Bryce Petty threw for 351 yards with four touchdowns and ran 2 yards for another score as No. 20 Baylor kept piling up the points, beating Louisiana-Monroe, 70-7.
The fast-paced Bears (3-0) had seven offensive touchdowns in the 10 drives Petty played. Those TD drives took a total of 6 minutes.
Baylor is the first FBS team since LSU in 1930 to open a season with at least 60 points in three consecutive games, according to STATS. Those Tigers had at least 70 points in each of those games — Baylor scored 69 in its opener before 70 points in each of its last two games.
ULM (2-2), coming off a victory at Wake Forest of the ACC last week, suffered its worst loss since a 73-7 loss at Auburn in 2003.
No. 22 Notre Dame 17, Michigan State 13
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Cam McDaniel scored on a 7-yard run following a questionable pass interference call, one of several penalties that hurt Michigan State, as Notre Dame beat the Spartans, 17-13, for their 10th straight home win.
The Irish (3-1) also took advantage of another questionable pass interference in the first half that set up a 2-yard touchdown pass from Tommy Rees to TJ Jones and a holding penalty that kept alive a drive that led to a 41-yard field goal by Kyle Brindza. The Spartans (3-1) had 10 penalties for 115 yards by the Big Ten officials.
But Michigan State made some costly mistakes on its own, including a trick play after the Spartans appeared to be gaining momentum. After opening the second half with a field goal, receiver R.J. Shelton threw a pass that was intercepted by safety Matthias Farley and led to Notre Dame's go-ahead touchdown.
No. 24 Wisconsin 41, Purdoe 10
MADISON, Wis. -- Melvin Gordon ran for three touchdowns, James White added 145 yards and a 70-yard score, and No. 24 Wisconsin opened Big Ten play with a 41-10 win over Purdue.
Gordon scored from 5 and 27 yards in the first half before capping the opening drive of the second with a 15-yard touchdown run for the Badgers (3-1, 1-0).
Nose guard Warren Herring had a sack, and Chris Borland added six tackles to lead an active defense.
Wisconsin moved on nicely from last week's stunning 32-30 loss to Arizona State, after officials mishandled the final seconds to deprive the Badgers of a game-winning field-goal try.
No late worries this week.
Quarterback Rob Henry's 22-yard touchdown run provided one of the few highlights on the day for the Boilermakers (1-3, 0-1).
Penn State 34, Kent State 0
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Running back Zack Zwinak scored three times for the second consecutive week in leading Penn State to a 34-0 win over Kent State.
All three of Zwinak's runs came from inside 2 yards a week after his three touchdowns weren't enough in a 34-31 loss to Central Florida.
Bill Belton had 90 yards rushing and also scored on a 15-yard catch for Penn State (3-1), which now gets an extra week off before opening its Big Ten Conference schedule against Indiana on Oct. 5.
Kent State (1-3) lost its third straight game since opening the season with a 17-10 win over Liberty. And the Golden Flashes' offense continues to lack spark minus its top threat, running back Dri Archer, who did not play because of an injury to his left ankle. Quarterback Colin Reardon finished 12 of 28 for 100 yards passing and an interception as Kent State was limited to 190 yards offense.

Full lips provide a more youthful appearance, but as we age the skin around the mouth loses collagen and lips become visibly thinner. In addition, the environment dries out lips, leaving them dehydrated and prone to chapping. Perricone MD Lip Plumpers are a non-invasive solution to thin, dry lips. Dr. Nicholas Perricone has developed a unique, three-tiered approach to healthy aging. An anti-inflammatory diet, nutritional supplements and topical antioxidants combine to visibly reduce the signs of aging. Perricone MD Lip Plumpers provide a potent antioxidant treatment to reduce fine lines around the mouth and improve the contour of the lips.
While it is possible to enhance the lip area through cosmetic surgery, this approach carries significant risks. Perricone MD Lip Plumpers are a highly-effective, non-invasive alternative to surgery. Through daily application, these topical treatments plump and hydrate the skin around the mouth, erasing fine lines and making the lips appear fuller and more luscious. Perricone MD Lip Plumpers also provide a great base for lipstick or lip gloss. It prevents feathering and increases the staying power of your chosen color.
Daily use of Perricone MD Lip Plumpers will result in a perfect pout. This fabulous cosmeceutical treats your skin and pampers your lips, while providing a more youthful appearance. Lips become plumper and fuller, as a result of powerful hydration and superior antioxidant protection. Forget temporary treatments which wear off after a short period of time. Perricone MD lip plumper has a cumulative anti-aging effect. Used every day, it delivers a long lasting improvement to the look and feel of your lip and mouth area.
Packed full of Alpha Lipoic Acid and DMAE, the patented formula of Perricone MD Lip Plumper restores and repairs your lip and mouth area. This potent lip treatment not only enhances the appearance of your lip and mouth area, it also drives hydrating nutrients deep into the epidermis. As a result, you will derive maximum benefit from the proprietary formulation. Apply this cream-based balm over and around the lip and mouth area. Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth will be smoothed out, reducing the aging effect that can build up over time. The lip area will become plumper and fuller, resulting in a sculpted effect. The natural color of the lips is also enhanced, but should you choose to wear lipstick or lip gloss the lip plumper provides an ideal base coat. Your color will last longer and will not run.

Gebhardt & Kiefer Law Offices 21 Main Street Clifton, N.J. July 11,1962 Hon. John F. Kennedy President of the United States The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. President: At a church service on a recent Sunday morning, I had the great privilege of hearing one of your assistants, Hon. Brooks Hays, take part in a dialogue with Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, President of the Council on World Tensions. Although I am just a country lawyer, I have heard hundreds of speeches in my time and I think that this was one of the best public presentations that I have ever heard. Mr. Hays has the wit of Mark Twain, the sincerity which Cicero once said was indispensable in a speaker, and the silver tongue of F.D.R. It was no wonder, therefore, that he had every one of those people which filled that church, hanging on his every word! He has had such a rich experience and he has such a great gift in this field, that I would hope that it could be arranged for him to devote as much time as possible to filling speaking engagements, particularly for High School and College students. An additional reason why Mr. Hays can be very effective, is the fact that he possesses a very strong and sensitive spiritual character, which is what young people of today need more than anything else, in my humble opinion! I should like to add a personal word: that as a life-long Democrat, I have a tremendous admiration for you and the splendid job that you are doing, difficult and harrowing as it is, in our country and in the world today! More power to you! With my very warmest wishes, I am Very truly yours, W. READING GEBHARDT WRG:GLB

When it comes to the greatest names in British motoring, there are few names so redolent with prestige, luxury and performance than Aston Martin, Jaguar and Land Rover. This is why Grange are so proud of our association with these three highly respected automotive manufacturers.
Our association with Aston Martin, arguably some of the most sought after cars in the world, has spanned over a decade. In recent years Aston Martin has continued to flourish and push the boundaries of performance, whilst staying true to their legacy of style and luxury. These factors combined make the current, wide-ranging, line-up of the V8 Vantage, the DB9, the V12 Vantage, the Rapide, the DBS and the Virage incredibly desirable propositions. The new Cygnet has also revolutionised luxurious, yet economical city driving.
Our association with Jaguar dates back to 1983, where we became the first standalone Jaguar Dealership of the company's modern era. Since then Jaguar cars have become some of the most recognisable and anticipated autos in the world, cultivating a truly international fanbase. The current range of the XF, the XK, the XJ and F-TYPE are taking on all competitors on the market and the upcoming C-X16 is set to blow them away.
Our new association with Land Rover (as of July 2014) is exciting for Grange. Land Rover are one of the few automotive companies that have retained a single engineering vision throughout their impressive six decades of car manufacturing. The range of Defender, Discovery, Evoque, Freelander, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport offer luxury, capability and strength for any driving conditions.
If you are looking for a new or used Aston Martin, Jaguar or Land Rover, look no further than Grange.co.uk and our dealerships in Barnet, Brentwood, Croydon, Exeter, Swindon and Welwyn. You have come to the right place to find the perfect car from these prestigious manufacturers.

Tom Brady wears a Mike Vrabel jersey to practice / @CoachVrabel50
That's Tom Brady, practicing in his Patriots helmet and pants, wearing the old Ohio State jersey of former teammate Mike Vrabel. The quarterback evidently made a bet with his former teammate on last weekend's game between their alma maters, Michigan and Ohio State.
The Buckeyes won, thus Brady had to rock the scarlet.
Vrabel seemed all too happy to tweet the picture.
He recently completed his first year as defensive line coach at Ohio State. He played with Brady from 2001 to 2008, winning three Super Bowls.
As Busted Coverage notes, Brady also donned the No. 94 in 2006 after No. 1 Ohio State beat No. 2 Michigan in one of this century's first "game of the centuries." With that in mind, Vrabel should have changed the stakes this time. Brady's already worn the OSU jersey. Why not make him wear something he'd really hate, like jorts and/or a non-cashmere sweater.
Brady and Vrabel's wasn't the only Michigan-Ohio State bet in the NFL. Arizona Cardinals kicker Jay Feely recently wore the scarlet and gray after losing a wager with Beanie Wells.
Vrabel and Wells should see if they can make any bets with current or former teammates for Ohio State's bowl game. Oh, wait.

GOUVERNEUR None of the 16 residents who attended Mondays meeting of the Gouverneur Central School Board of Education publicly commented on the possible closure of Fowler Elementary School, but district administrators will research answers to written questions submitted for a report to be given at a Feb. 11 forum.
Questions included the actual savings of closing the school, other options that might be considered, whether a nurse has to be at every building and how parents were informed of the potential closure.
The board scheduled the 7 p.m. Feb. 11 meeting in the high school auditorium to give the public a chance to weigh in on the schools future.
District officials have identified savings of $224,000 in the first year if the school is closed, mostly from reduced utilities and building maintenance.
The staff, excepting one teaching position possibly eliminated because of retirement, would transfer to East Side or West Side elementary schools. Average class sizes would remain at 18 to 23 pupils.
Potential savings already outlined by administrators do not include money the district is saving by not filling positions that have been vacated by retirements, proceeds if the building were sold, a more efficient use of existing facilities or the fact that some children 28 of the buildings 116 pupils would not be bused from Gouverneur to Fowler.
Superintendent Lauren F. French said she appreciates being able to investigate questions before the forum.
Put on the spot, I might not have accurate information, she said.
The board is expected to make a decision on the schools future Feb. 25.
This is not what anyone wishes to do, Mrs. French said.
The closure is being considered not only for monetary reasons, but because of declining enrollments. The district has a total of 12 empty classrooms at its other two elementary schools.
For the same reason, the district closed the Balmat Elementary School in the 1960s and elementary schools in Brasie Corners and Richville in 1981, Mrs. French said.
