Two former teammates of Chargers defensive end Corey Liuget were involved in a car accident Saturday morning in Irving, Texas, one of them killed and the other charged with intoxication manslaughter.
Cowboys linebacker Jerry Brown, 25, died of his injuries Saturday, and Cowboys nose tackle Josh Brent, 24, was booked into Irving City Jail after a single-vehicle crash about 2:20 a.m. on a State Highway 114 service road.
Liuget played with both at Illinois.
Police said Brent was driving at a high speed when the car hit a curb and flipped. He was arrested after a failed field sobriety test.
While at Illinois in 2009, Brent plead guilty to a DUI.
Brown, an undrafted rookie, was on the Cowboys practice squad after spending training camp with the Colts.
Multiple Chargers teammates, upon learning of the crash Saturday afternoon, said they'd look for Liuget and offer their support.
"Sad day for us Josh Brent and Jerry Brown," Liuget wrote on his Twitter account. "My prayers and heart pours out to both of you guys and family. Jerry will be missed."

US Airways (LCC) pullback, a good opportunity to enter? (self.investing)
submitted 3 years ago by AML225
All my analysis and research has suggested that US Airways (LCC) would be a good opportunity to make some money. Yesterday there was a significant pull back and when this short term downward momentum ends I'm thinking of getting in. My gut however is still hesitant. What do you guys think?
[–]InfamousPicks 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (1 child)
All airlines experienced a pullback recently especially Delta (DAL). I'm in the same boat and I do think this is a good opportunity to enter.
[–]AML225[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Well I got in and the stock continued down. I hate knowing I could've gotten in cheaper.

Hollywood Palms Theater, modeled after Hollywood Boulevard and the legendary Chinese Theater, engages moviegoers with its opulent design, a restaurant and bar, and seat-by-seat service. Winning praise from myriad press outlets, the movie house boasts nine distinctive auditoriums, each dressed to a cinematic theme, including Coconut Grove and The Rainbow Room. Within the confines of each theater, rows of high-backed leather chairs comfortably cradle bodies, while the latest Dolby surround sound swathes ears in the tummy rumbles of on-screen actors.

Good morning,
I want to use your plugin to have the comments from disqus on my post.
But I'm not able to display it on my post disregarding the different solution I tried.
I read many posts and tried those solutions:
1: Deactivate all plugins: Not working.
2: Revert to Twenty eleven them: Not working.
3: Activate the "Allow comments" for the post: Not working.
4: Check Output Javascript in footer: The Javascipt is displayed but still not working.
So now I have no more ideas on how to correct that. If somebody can help me, it would be great.
Here is the adress of the post I tried with:

Great concept, but for those of us who believe sites should be responsive, it may not be useful.
The page on which I tried the TOC lost its ability to respond to the width of the device displaying it.
Perhaps this is a problem with only the theme I'm using (Gridly), because the shortcode didn't work at all. I had originally set the required headings to 10 and inserted the shortcode. When I didn't get a TOC, I reduced the requirement to 4 and removed the shortcode. That gave me a TOC... and an unresponsive page.

Hopefully just because she doesn't want to, might not mean she wont. I helped take care of my grandfather. Not really something I *wanted* to do, to see him suffer daily, but I did it anyway because I loved him and he needed me. Didn't strain our relationship so much as my mental health. Its hard to watch someone you love be in pain.

Thanks for input everyone. I do want to clarify, we are not in a community property state. It's equitable distribution here. I guess my apprehension comes in the nature of everything. I was a single mother for a long time and had to scrape my way back through credit and financial issues. I am sure part of it is me not wanting to allow someone to jeopardize that. Up until this point I could handle things on my own if it came to that and there is still some security for me in that. That is probably residuals from always being in control.... Who knows and I won't get Dr. Phil on it (even though I already did).... However the largest part of my issue is that I need to maybe see more from him first in helping his own situation. I haven't seen the effort that I need to see to feel ok enough to "let my guard down". It's definitely something I will need to really think about. I am a prepare for the worst type of person (pessimist if you will). This really has nothing to do though with insensitivity, lack of love/caring, or not having his back. It's more like hauling said, I don't want to be an enabler. Either way, bottom line is that I need to make a choice I can live with.
There's a difference between a hand up and a handout.
Good luck to you. That's a tough position to be in, but it's probably an important stage in your relationship. And in the end, you do have that original responsibility to your kids, before anything else that comes along later. Hope it works out for you!

There are two remote servers, 01 and 02. I can ssh to 01 from the local machine, but not to 02 - ssh times out. That timeout happens intermittently, and I cannot correlate it with any activity going on the server or the network.
01 and 02 are on the same subnet.
What's strange is that I can always ssh to 02 from 01 (ssh to 01 from the local machine).
I'm trying to explain why this happens.

Description: This excellent new book is actually a companion to the fourth edition of Substance Abuse: A Comprehensive Textbook (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005). The editors and authors are nationally recognized clinicians and have produced a clinically useful book in the treatment of substance use disorders. This is a welcome addition to the psychiatric literature.
Purpose: The purpose is to "offer the field the most authoritative, clinically oriented information on the subject of substance use, abuse, and dependence, with an emphasis on diagnosis, treatment, and prevention." Indeed, the editors and authors have produced an extremely useful tool for clinicians to help their patients with these common disorders.
Audience: The intended audience includes all healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with substance use disorders.
Features: The book's 11 sections and 46 chapters cover every aspect of this field. Topics include etiologic determinants, detailing of the various abused substances, addictive behaviors, evaluation and diagnosis, a review of the numerous treatment modalities, management of associated medical problems, substance abuse throughout the life cycle, women's issues, occupational and professional issues, training and educations, and forensics. Each chapter concludes with a list of suggested readings.
Assessment: This is a very useful book for any healthcare professional. Every clinician needs to have a significant depth of knowledge of substance use disorders and this book is a step towards achieving that goal. I highly recommend it.

Re: Buy for Baby Jesus
Happy Holidays Bill!!! MSNBC's Keith Olbermann bequeathed Bill O'Reilly yesterday with the bronze, silver, and gold medals for "Worst Person in the World" just in time for the holidays, oops!, Christmas!
Media Matters, the site where I discovered these tidings of good cheer, also has a fun write-up on Fox's use of the term "holiday tree" instead of Christmas tree, and the O'Reilly Factor "holiday" ornament, instead of Christmas ornament on their website (which has been fixed after much internet mocking).
Merry Christmas and Enjoy!

Constant Vigilance Is How You Win Your Fantasy Baseball LeagueWe've all heard the story from a friend how he or she simply drafted their fantasy baseball team and forgot all about it until finding out they won the league in October. Generally, that doesn't happen very often thanks to injuries, slumps and inevitable bad luck. You have to stay on top of your team's roster all summer long to win.
Beware Players That Switch Leagues At The Trade DeadlineEvery year it happens: Big-league trades send hitters and pitchers from the National League to the American League—and vice versa. This isn't always a good thing, though, as pitchers have a hard time adjusting going from the NL to the AL, while hitters have a hard time adjusting going from the AL to the NL.

Don't Hog the Disability Seat on the Subway, Baby
A blogger has devoted a site to shaming perpetrators of a common subway crime.
There are a lot of ways in which people behave badly on the subway: There are the people who refuse to move all the way into a car. The people who lean on poles so you can't hold on to them. The kids who walk down the platform reeeeeeally sloooooowly. The leg-spreaders and the "my bag needs this seat" people and eaters of strong-smelling cuisine and the woman Jessica saw the other day whose kid smeared actual snot on the window. But the people who refuse to give up their seats for disabled or pregnant people are the worst, especially if they're sitting in the dedicated disability seats. In the past, this behavior has gone unpunished here on earth. But now a guy has dedicated a blog to posting their photos. It's called "People Who Sit in the Disability Seats When I'm Standing on My Crutches." Don't get caught on it!

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 2006
Running Time: 135
Director: Bobby Manila
Company: DVSX
Cast: Tia Sweets, Aaliyah Brown, Charlie Mac, Candace Von, Adina Jewel, Billy Banks, Alisha Madison, Jean Claude Batiste, Julius Ceazher, Mr. Marcus, Janet Nasty, Havana Ginger, Broc Adams
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Freak Nasty 2 has some ebony hardcore in mind for you, if you're up for it. This feature culls together some of the hottest chocolate around, and if you believe in miracles, you might just fall in love with some sexy thing here.
The best scene is the first one, featuring Aaliyah Brown and Janet Nasty (whose wardrobe malfunction is purely intentional here, thank you very much) getting it on with Mr. Marcus, a lucky man, indeed. The two of these ladies sucking a cock together would be more than a normal man could take. Of course, Marcus takes and gives back with equal pleasure, especially Brown's hot reverse cowgirl, which is a joy to watch.
Honorable mention goes to Tia Sweets for being gorgeous, having a thrilling ass, and giving one of the hottest blowjobs out there.
These two scenes make this feature worth watching. Definitely better than average.
Retailing: Solid ebony feature will appeal to fetishists and curious alike.

Wikipedia:Peer review/Baichung Bhutia/archive2
Baichung Bhutia[edit]
This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I want it to be a Featured Article. I think it would be great to have an Indian footballer up there as the majority of the football FAs are British and besides that he is an influential figure both on and off the field.
Thanks, Spiderone 15:38, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Comments by Eddie6705
Don't need to mention he is captain of the Indian team twice in the lead section. What did he do in the 1992 Subroto Cup to bring him to the notice of the football establishment? The chronological order seems awkward when it goes from since then including the Arjuna Award in 1999. to In 1997 he returned to East Bengal Club. Perhaps the award could be mentioned further down. He became team captain in the 1998–99 season[9] where East Bengal finished / signing a three-year contract[15] and became the first Indian / He had difficulty obtaining a visa[18] and could not - Needs a comma before the citations. On 15 April 2000 he scored his first goal - Needs a comma after 2000. As a result of the Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa incident he was suspended for - Shouldn't link to the same article as it is in.
Thats all for now. Eddie6705 (talk) 14:22, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments. They have helped. Spiderone 16:15, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Finetooth comments: This is an interesting article, and it seems comprehensive to me, an outsider. I have suggestions about the layout and a few aspects of the prose.
MOS:IMAGES says in part, "Do not place left-aligned images directly below a subsection-level heading (=== or lower), as this sometimes disconnects the heading from the text that follows it." For this reason, the image directly under "Professional career" should probably be moved to the right. MOS:IMAGES also says, "Images should be inside the section they belong to (after the heading and after any links to other articles), and not above the heading." For this reason, the third text box and the final two images should probably be moved. The shortness of the existing sections makes this difficult. You might consider combining some short sections to make room for images. Extremely short sections are not such a good idea in any case.
The ref for his birthplace should come after the comma, not before.
- Why do so many boxes in the list of senior career stats have question marks instead of numbers?
- No data is available on his appearances as far as I know. Spiderone 16:26, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Instead of starting three sentences in a row in the first paragraph with "He is", I'd suggest variety. For example, the second sentence could be flipped to say, "Currently the captain of the Indian team, he plays for East Bengal Club." "As well as this he has played for JCT Mills, where he won the league once, and Mohun Bagan, where he failed to win the league once during his two spells, in his native India." - This sounds odd because he didn't win the league or fail to win the league by himself. Would something like " ...which won the league once during his tenure; and Mohun Bagan, which failed to win the league once during his two spells, in his native India."
Professional career
"He became team captain in the 1998–99 season where East Bengal finished second behind Salgaocar in the league." - Comma after "season" and then substitute "during which" for "where"?
It would be good to add that Bury is in Manchester, England. Many readers will not have any idea where Bury is. "However his stint at Perak ended in a 3–1 defeat to Sabah FA in the Malaysia Cup semi-finals with Bhutia describing himself as "the villain of the piece"." - "With" doesn't make a very good conjunction. Suggestion: However his stint at Perak ended in a 3–1 defeat to Sabah FA in the Malaysia Cup semi-finals, after which Bhutia described himself as "the villain of the piece". "The 2004–05 season saw East Bengal finish in third place behind SC Goa and champions Dempo SC with Bhutia scoring nine goals." - Suggestion: "During the 2004–05 season, Bhutia scored nine goals for East Bengal, which finished in third place behind SC Goa and champions Dempo SC." "The 2007–08 season (the league was now known as the I-League) saw Mohun Bagan finish slightly higher in the league in fourth place, with Bhutia scoring 10 goals in 18 matches." - Suggestion: "During the 2007–08 season (the league was now known as the I-League), Bhutia scored 10 goals in 18 matches, and Mohun Bagan finished slightly higher in the league in fourth place." I see other "with" conjunctions further down in the article. They would all be easy to fix in ways similar to these three suggestions.
East Bengal "Homecoming"
Lowercase "homecoming"? "claiming damages of Rs. 10 million, against Mohun Bagan" - Constructions such as Rs.10 million need to be held together with an nbsp code to prevent the parts from being separated by line break on computer screens. WP:NBSP has a full explanation. Also, no space should separate the "Rs" from the "10". Ditto for instances lower in the article.
International career
"Bhutia played a significant part in the final as he was involved in the build-up to N. P. Pradeep's winning goal against Syria where India won 1–0 to become champions." - This sentence uses "where" in an odd way. "During which" might be better. Ditto for similar instances lower down in the article.

The Greedy Hand is an illuminating examination of the culture of tax and a persuasive call for reform, written by one of the nation's leading policy makers, Amity Shlaes of The Wall Street Journal.
The father of the modern American state was an obscure Macy's department store executive named Beardsley Ruml. During World War II, he devised the plan for withholding taxes from your paycheck, thereby laying in place a system that allows the hand of government to reach into your wallet and take what it wants.
Today, taxes make up more than a third of our economy, the highest level in history outside war. We live in the nation revolutionary father Thomas Paine foresaw when he wrote of "the Greedy Hand of government thrusting itself into every corner of industry." This book is a cultural examination of the way taxes influence our behavior, how they force us into an arbitrary system that punishes families and individual enterprise.
Amity Shlaes unveils the hidden perversities of our lifelong tax experience: how family tax breaks do little to help the family, and can even hurt it. She demonstrates how married women pay a special women's tax rate, higher than anybody else's. She shows how problems that engage and enrage us--Social Security problems, or the things we don't like about schools--are, at heart, tax problems. And she explains why the solutions Washington offers merely accelerate a vicious cycle.
Finally, Amity Shlaes shows us a way out of this madness, endorsing a number of common-sense reforms that will give all Americans a fairer and simpler tax system. Written with eloquent compassion for working Americans and their families, The Greedy Hand makes the best case yet for rethinking our tax code. It is a book no tax-paying citizen can afford to ignore.
Editorial Reviews
"Ms. Shlaes has provided a thoughtful overview of the system's many contradictions and inequities. She defines the debate over what we ought to do and gets you thinking constructively about the problems she identifies."-The New York Times
"In far less time than the IRS says it takes to file the short form, you can read The Greedy Hand and finally understand just why taxes drive you crazy, or should. . . . You won't find a better tour of our country's arcane tax system."-USA Today
"Succeeds brilliantly at showing how our present approach just doesn't cut it."-San Francisco Chronicle
"Succinctly describes a bad situation. Let's hope our politicians read it."-The Financial Times

Read an Excerpt
What's the biggest tourist destination in america? Disney World and the Epcot Center, in Florida? The Grand Canyon? Graceland, perhaps?
The answer is none of the above. The nation's proudest leisure-time travel destination is a seven-year-old collection of square footage in a second-ring suburb of Minneapolis-St. Paul. It is the Mall of America, a megamall so huge its developers once referred to it as the Ninth Wonder of the World. Visitors come from neighboring states like North Dakota and Iowa. They also come, and in great number, from Illinois, New York, and California. They even fly in from Winnipeg, Amsterdam, London, and Osaka. Every year the Mall of America gets nine times as many visitors as the entire population of Minnesota. Its traffic of 42 million a year makes the Mall of America a larger attraction than the Big Three of tourism combined.
In some ways, the Mall of America is any mall. It has Macy's. It has B. Dalton. It has Sears. It has a teenager problem, at times so bad that one year it had to institute a special policy of "escorted kids only." Like most modern malls, it cocoons shoppers from the harsher elements. Its air temperature is "seventy degrees, all the time," an advantage not to be dismissed in an iceland like Minnesota in February.
But the Mall of America also has things no other American mall can compete with. It has more stores than any other American mall, 520 of them. It has an amusement park called Knott's Camp Snoopy, where parents can park their children to play on a million dollars' worth of equipment, including a roller-coaster (the rate is $6 for infants, $7 for bigger kids). It has UnderWater World, a 1.2-million-gallon walk-through aquarium that takes visitors on a simulated trip of the nation's waterways. It has Golf Mountain, an eighteen-hole miniature-golf course. It has novelties like the Rainforest Cafe, where real mist sprays into the air over lunchers and thunderstorms--complete with lightning--happen every twenty minutes. And it has one other, powerful attraction: the Mall of America is a tax haven. Minnesota charges no sales tax on clothing.
At Play with the Greedy Hand
Tax shopping is a national pastime in this country, a game we take up frequently and sometimes seriously. Economists have all kinds of labels for this behavior--they call it things like "tax arbitrage" and build charts around it. In reality tax shopping depicts something simpler: citizens at play with the greedy hand. Governments, in this case state and local authorities, try to pretend the hand isn't there and that it isn't greedy--what's a 6 percent levy here, a little 1 percent charge there? People for their part don't fight with government head on: you rarely see a crowd picketing against a sales tax. But they do dodge and duck, dancing away from the Greedy Hand to shop where it can't reach. And their faces do show a trace of satisfaction: "I'm here to get something, and I'm getting it now. This is my turn."
These days, this play often seems lighthearted. Americans don't evade sales taxes on anything like the scale Europeans do. There a punitive sales tax called the value-added tax, a tax with rates of 17 percent, 18 percent, and more, has converted the tax fun to an out-and-out war. A black market in everything from autos to plumbing services thrives on the Continent. But there are plenty of signs, signs that show up in our tax shopping, that Americans too are ready to break the law--to have some real fun--the moment we decide that Paine's hand is intruding too far. It was not for nothing that the Boston Tea Party was called a party.
Our national game starts with the states, towns, and counties, the levels of government that control most sales taxes. These governments set their tax rates--often rates that differ from one another's. And shoppers respond--by surveying their options and buying at the best price--the price with the lowest tax. Every day purchasing decisions are made on the basis of tax shopping. Americans look for low taxes for the same reasons they wait for sales or transport themselves to outlet malls in rural backlands or buy products that come with cash rebates. They want to save a few pennies. Saving a few pennies along the way makes them feel a little better about the decision to shop that they made in the first place. Not all the tax shopping in this country involves such extravagant excursions as a pilgrimage to the Mall of America. From Florida to Alaska, American citizens regularly cross town, county, and state borders in the name of saving on taxes when we shop.
How important are these decisions? Taxes are rarely the main reason Americans name for choosing to shop how they do. But they are always a factor, a factor that places like
the Mall of America have proven can be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Indeed, tax shopping has grown so much in recent years that businesses that didn't have a tax advantage--in this instance, retailers in high-tax states--felt the need to send an ambassador to Washington to warn the House Committee on Small Business that the tax-free world was growing so fast it soon might kill off that most American thing, the old-fashioned, full-tax retail mall.
Among consumers, the American tax-shopping game has distinct winners and losers. Take the examples of Washington State and Oregon: Washington has no income tax, and Oregon has no sales tax. Citizens of Washington's border towns, therefore, drive over the Columbia River to Portland, Oregon, to do their shopping, avoiding both levies. They have their tax cake and eat it too. The losers in that equation are Oregonians. The reverse trip up Interstate 5 gains them nothing, except the opportunity to pay Washington sales tax along with their home income tax. In Illinois and other old, industrial states, the losers are city dwellers--cities like Chicago and New York tend to charge urban shoppers an extra penny or more in sales tax on their consumption. In Louisiana the losers are Louisianans: the state offers a rebate on sales taxes to foreign visitors, but locals must pay the full levy. In Florida the losers are people with weak bladders. Gas taxes change from county to county, and the fixed-income crowd tend to pick their rest stops accordingly.
Part of the challenge confronting the players of the tax game is that the tax-scape doesn't stay the same. From time to time lawmakers will change the rules--often, it seems, just to amuse themselves. But the pleasure of victory for tax shoppers is important to them, so important that they willingly fight back by traveling farther, or altering their habits yet again, just to keep their tax breaks.
The Mall's Story
To see the full extent of the shopping-tax game, it helps to look at a place like the Mall of America. For starters, it is no accident that the mall, which could be sited anywhere, chose Bloomington for its site. When they were ready to build, the mall's developers did some some tax shopping of their own. They obtained various tax favors to undertake the project, a daring one given its scope and the fact that, at the time, America lay mired in a recession. The mall got tax breaks on $100 million in financing from Bloomington to help it build its parking decks and transit station where public buses arrive.
Minnesotans themselves don't gain any advantage on clothing tax by driving to Bloomington--they don't pay tax on clothing anywhere in the state. But if they choose to eat at the Mall of America, they get a break. That's because the Mall of America doesn't have a restaurant tax, whereas the Twin Cities, for example, have a 3.5 percent levy. Minnesotans' overall tax load is high: when the Tax Foundation, a Washington think tank that charts tax burdens, compared Minnesotans' total tax load with that of citizens of other states, it found that Minnesotans' burden was the sixth-heaviest in the nation--only tax hells like New York or California were worse. So some citizens of Minneapolis-St. Paul notice that they are saving when they choose to show relatives a good time at the Rainforest Cafe.
When it comes to out-of-state shoppers, the tax game at the Mall of America gets serious. Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota all have a 5 percent tax on clothing. The fact that Minnesota has none is an accident of the state's progressive Northern European heritage. State lawmakers long held that taxing necessities like clothing and food put an unjust burden on the poor. Today Minnesota's progressivism is fading, but the progressives' work is still in place. Clothing--all clothing--is tax-free. You have to wonder whether the state's fathers, doubtless stuffy fellows all, actually envisioned young women converging from four states to slither into tax-free camisoles in the dressing rooms of the mall's two Victoria's Secret shops. But that's what happens.
Indeed, Minnesota's clothing-tax advantage ensures that the Mall of America is a regional shoppers' mecca. When time comes for a spree, many of them hop into one of the shuttle flights Northwest Airlines operates to Minnesota and the Mall of America. Northwest WorldVacations, the tour operator for Northwest Airlines, saw a 47 percent increase in package passengers to Mall of America from North America cities in the first quarter of 1998 over 1997.
Miles as Money
The savviest of the tax shoppers don't pay for such flights. They use another tax advantage--their "miles"--to get to Minnesota. Frequent-flier miles are a marketing phenomenon, a trick airlines and now credit card companies have learned to use to build customer loyalty. But, in their way, miles are also a form of tax shopping. Many people build up their miles while working. When their employers let them keep the miles, they are giving the employees something of value--something that neither employer nor employee pays tax on. In this sense, miles really are tax-free money, which escapes the greedy hand altogether.
Then there are the international tax gamesters, more than two million of them a year by the mall's count. Citizens of Winnipeg pay Canada's onerous goods and services tax, which is 7 percent. Manitoba drops an additional 7 percent on top of that. With Northwest offering flights from Winnipeg at $258 round trip, the draw of saving 14 percent begins to look worthwhile. Shoppers know that if they stay forty-eight hours, Canadian customs will allow them to bring up to $500 in purchases back home, duty-free. (The deal is $200 in purchases for shorter stays.) Are tax savings important to these shoppers? "Big factor," sums up one of Northwest's booking agents telegraphically.
Among these arrivals number the truly international tax shoppers. Europeans and Asians pay giant sales taxes ranging in the high teens. The evidence: Minnesota's Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has 240 international flights a week--seven each from Tokyo, Osaka, and London, and twenty-one from Amsterdam. This is up from a mere sixty-one in the mall's younger days. Frankfurt added on a direct flight for summer shopping. "Jerusalem has the Wall, but Minneapolis has the Mall," announced the Jerusalem Post from high-tax Israel. In August 1997 the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported what has to be the ultimate tax-travel factoid: couples from ten countries have held their weddings in the Mall of America's little chapel.
Some of this international behavior is due to another kind of economic pastime: currency shopping. The dollar in this decade has been relatively weak, so that foreigners from developed countries can buy more with their money here than they can at home. But a good part of it is taxes. You can tell this because foreigners often betray an expertise worthy of a state revenue official when it comes to the minutiae of our sales-tax laws. Switzerland's stuffy Neue Zuercher Zeitung complained that not everything in America was a bargain--"especially when you're looking for the sort of quality the Swiss are accustomed to." The paper's reporter, though, went on to hand his readership a few well-valued tax tips: "In the city of Chicago, 8.75 percent is the rule, but in the bordering parts of Illinois, it's only 6 percent. In New York a sweater from the same retail chain costs 2.25 percent more than in Florida. For foreigners New Orleans is particularly attractive. There you can get sales tax you pay back at the border." The title of the article? "America, Land of Unlimited Shopping."
All this activity has made a deep impression on Minnesota's tourism officials, who for years had only more traditional attractions like the state's fifteen thousand-odd blue lakes, or the Edward Hopper at Minneapolis's Walker Art Center to compete with. The mall elevated Minnesota to a new class as a tourist destination, and the officials know that tax is part of that. The government employees are of course not eager to spell out the amounts of business they are taking away from fellow states and foreign governments. But they do confirm that tax is a huge component of their tourism success. "I can't say it's fifty percent, but it's a big share," says Brian Dietz of Minnesota's Department of Trade and Economic Development.
The Tax Frog
Indeed, when Minnesota had good news about taxes to give its citizens, the Mall of America was one of the places it chose to make its announcement. On one Friday in February of 1998, Minnesotans who shopped at the Mall of America encountered a new entity: a huge felt frog figure, the "Tax Frog," who handed out tax forms that would allow them to collect a statewide tax rebate. The state's revenue officials sent out a wire explaining helpfully why they had chosen a frog as their symbol. "The answer is simply because frogs say, 'rebate-rebate.' "
IKEA's Example
The Mall of America is only the most visible symbol of this kind of activity. New York City, for example, clearly has it over Bloomington when it comes to the variety of attractions it offers. But when it comes to shopping, New York citizens spurn their hometown. They have a single word they use to describe their tax shopping--"IKEA." IKEA, pronounced "i-KEE-a," is a Swedish housewares giant. The store closest to New Yorkers is located in a place highly inconvenient to them: an old industrial park off the highway in Elizabeth, New Jersey. But New Yorkers travel to IKEA quite willingly--by car through the clogged Holland Tunnel or by special, free IKEA buses departing the city's grimy Port Authority terminal on the half hour.
IKEA, like Mall of America, has many attractions. It is giant--shoppers confront thousands of articles, all displayed in a charming, Swedish manner. But its most powerful attraction is, arguably, its tax rate. Elizabeth, New Jersey, is an urban enterprise zone with a sales-tax rate all its own: 3 percent. Since New Yorkers normally pay 8.25 percent, they save over $5 per hundred dollars. So many of them apparently found this deal worth it that New York's department of revenue got excited. In IKEA's early days, they sent revenue officials to IKEA's parking lot to note down New York shoppers' license plates so they could go after them, by claiming a "use tax" on goods imported to New York. This caused a lot of disgruntlement among shoppers.
New York shoppers in search of clothing and shoes also travel outside their state to evade an 8.25 percent sales tax. The numbers crunchers estimate that the state's retailers lose something like $700 million in sales just because people choose to buy clothes outside of New York rather than pay the tax. Pennsylvania newspapers brag that the state's booming outlet business--no sales tax on clothes or shoes--have made it the "outlet capital of the world."
Indiana has enjoyed a similar advantage, for cigarettes. In May 1994 neighboring Michigan raised its cigarette tax from 25ó to 75ó a pack, the second-highest in the nation, according to scholar Patrick Fleenor and Price Waterhouse, who made a study of it. During the next year, Fleenor reports, cigarette sales fell in Michigan by 26.7 percent.
Just across the border, though, many Indiana store owners found cigarette sales rising up to 40 percent. The reason was clear: consumers who drove from Union Pier, Michigan--to name a border town--down the road to Michigan City, Indiana, saved $5.95 in taxes on each pack they bought.
There are those too who respond to tax intrusions in the opposite way: by not shopping, or by shopping at a moment when the greedy hand isn't around. The state of Alaska found this out the hard way when it planned a huge increase in its cigarette tax, to a dollar a pack. The tax was to go into effect October 1, 1997. Smokers struck back by buying an astounding 175 million more cigarettes than usual in the three months before the tax deadline. Richard Watts of the Great Alaska Tobacco Company told the local papers that some smokers even bought sixty-carton cases--at $1,200 each--rather than pay the tax. As for Alaska's Department of Revenue, it saw its revenue estimates go up in smoke: collections slowed 60 percent following the infamous increase date.
L. L. Bean
Most tax shoppers know yet another way to play the game with the greedy hand: by mail. When a Californian or a Pennsylvanian orders from L. L. Bean in Maine, California's and Iowa's revenue departments dearly like to collect tax on that purchase. But states don't have power over interstate commerce--Congress does--and Congress can't--and won't--enforce a state tax. So local tax authorities from California (6 percent base rate), Illinois (base rate 6.25 percent), Nevada (6.5 percent), and Pennsylvania (6 percent) lose when their citizens shop by mail at J. Crew or L. L. Bean. So, by the way, do the local tax authorities in those states: Maine may be home to L. L. Bean, but its authorities don't get the sales tax either. In many cases money saved in tax on a pair of sweaters just about offsets the price of the shipping bill, a pleasure that does not elude shoppers. Everyone likes the feeling of getting a UPS package for "free."
Frustrated states of course do their best to pursue the escaping revenue, which one group estimated at $3 billion a year. But this is an area where consumer rage commands some respect. When the Direct Marketing Association, the lobby that represents the mail-order giants, opened negotiations with the various states to work toward a general collection arrangement, shoppers protested. The mail-order houses saw the light. Suddenly, everyone was denying plans to collect the sales taxes. On fax letterhead complete with leaping stag and trout, L. L. Bean responded to an inquiry from The Wall Street Journal on the matter that the firm "has no plans to change its practices . . . related to sales tax collection for out-of-state orders."
A Serious Conversation
At some point one has to ask: what's going on? Why will people put up with waistlines that don't fit because they ordered them from a catalog or spend dollars in gas and time to save pennies on cartons of cigarettes? Why are honest citizens willing to lie and ship clothing to false addresses in order to spare themselves sales tax? Tax shopping generates a frenzy of activity, not all of it logical.
Beneath all the noise there is a very serious conversation going on here, a conversation between our governments and our people. Officials--town, county, state, and federal--regularly pretend to the world that they may choose the tax rate, and that their tax receipts will grow or shrink accordingly. This pretense is actually codified in American law and regulation--the technocrats call it "static analysis." Static analysis says that a 5 percent tax will bring in 5 percent of a certain revenue pool, and an 8 percent tax will bring in 8 percent--enough. Most government officials write their budgets with such assumptions and expect the people to go along in the name of deficit reduction, necessities, or the general social good.
But people aren't automatons. And shoppers, who are also citizens and taxpayers, do react to avoid government's demands when they are able. In shopping, unlike other areas, they actually have a choice about taxation, even if it is a choice of saving a penny on a dollar. And the vigor with which they exercise this choice reflects the seriousness with which they question government and its taxes. They are saying, "This is too much." Or "This I won't take." Or "I will live with this, but only if something else compensates for it." They talk back to government by modifying their behavior--by buying less and thereby giving back less in tax to the government. The result is that the revenue officers very often find themselves disappointed with their take. If they want more revenue, they are going to have to listen to shoppers.
The conversation is not a new one. It dates back to the American revolution, when Americans told the British they wouldn't stand for their sorts of taxes. Several of the founding fathers tried to figure out which takes the new American citizens would live with. They thought a lot about excise taxes, one of the names for sales taxes. They thought that people would tolerate them better than other taxes. Alexander Hamilton praised these consumption taxes: "The amount to be contributed by each citizen will in a degree be at his own option, and can be regulated by an attention to his resources. The rich may be extravagant, the poor can be frugal; and private oppression may always be avoided by a judicious selection of objects proper for such impositions." He also wrote, "It is a signal advantage of taxes on articles of consumption that they contain in their own nature a security against excess." Government's excess, that is. Another thing that Hamilton liked about the excise taxes was that they were visible. People knew when they were encountering the greedy hand and could avoid it if they chose. So the young nation tried its excise-tax experiment, imposing, at different points, taxes on spirits and other goods.
A Reply from Citizens
It turned out that early Americans didn't want to encounter the greedy hand, even in the form of an excise tax. When the founding fathers levied their tax on spirits and the like, America's early citizens talked back--with violence. During the Whiskey Rebellion, and Shays' Rebellion as well, they picked up muskets and pitchforks. It was a bloody conversation between a people and their government, but a real one. Government listened, and by 1800 the United States, led by Thomas Jefferson, had given up on internal taxes altogether.
Today the descendants of those rebellions are the tax shoppers. And they, too, have an effect on their government, albeit a more moderate one. In 1992, for example, Minnesota was having budget problems. Lawmakers proposed introducing a sales tax on clothing. And why not? Minnesota's coffers badly needed one. But there was an outcry from citizens against the tax. Among the louder complainers were representatives of the then-new Mall of America. The lawmakers backed down.
At this writing, Minnesota is in surplus. Much of that surplus is due to the general prosperity of the nation. But some of it--a healthy share of it--comes from the Mall of America. Today the mall employs twelve thousand Minnesotans. Shoppers who spend at the Mall of America do pay tax--6.5 percent--on nonclothing items. That money has played a role in swelling the state's surplus. Today the state estimates that the megamall has had a $1.5 billion impact on the state. In this sense, Minnesota is a winner. It got the revenue that governments in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Manitoba, Bonn, and Tokyo lost.
New York's IKEA story provides another example of the give-and-take. In the beginning, New York officials just sat back and watched in frustration as state and city lost much desired revenue to New Jersey. They were particularly unhappy that shoppers were traveling to New Jersey malls to buy clothing without paying sales tax. Then IKEA was so bold as to boast about the advantage in advertising, announcing "whopping" tax savings in advertisements it posted in New York. Finally, New York had a convenient scapegoat. James W. Wetzler, New York State's commissioner of taxation and finance, lashed out at the store. He sent staffers to copy down the license numbers of New York cars in IKEA's lot. Wetzler also threatened to subpoena delivery records for the tables, chairs, and garden furniture people bought at IKEA and had shipped to New York. But the news of these snoops also set off the shoppers. "First of all, I have a right to spend my own money where I want," Donna Currington, a thirty-three-year-old nurse from the Bronx told The New York Times. "That's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard," Lisa Halgren, a thirty-two-year-old Manhattanite, told The Times when it told her about New York's enforcement efforts, "I work hard. I pay taxes. If I want to save a little money, that's my business and no one else's."
IKEA retreated, confining its ad copy to vaguer talk about affordability. But so did New York. Fast-forward to the late 1990s, and IKEA is still benefiting New Jersey. And, even though transfusions from Wall Street have improved New York's fiscal health, the state is still facing shortfalls because shoppers travel to places like IKEA. New Yorkers are still angry about taxes. So angry that New York Health & Racquet Club, a local chain, publishes a series of ads under the title "Tax Break." The health club of course doesn't have the power to offer a tax break, just the simple price break, $300 off on a membership. But the copywriters recognized that New Yorkers are so hungry for tax relief that an advertisement mentioning the topic can sell gym memberships.
Finally, New York's mayor and governor started responding to the music. They announced an experiment: state and city would hold weeklong "tax holidays" on clothing purchases twice in a year's time. The consumers talked back--with tax-holiday spending sprees. Heartened, the lawmakers began to plan a broader and more permanent sales-tax decrease on clothing.
Governments, though, aren't always willing to give up their power. So they find ways to turn the tables on the tax game. One way they do this is by concealing their work, in the hopes that taxpayers won't react. This is why lawmakers don't break out what we pay in gas taxes on the gas pump. And it is why, whenever they introduce a new tax, they like to call it a charge, a fee, a license--anything other than a tax.
The Phone Tax
The most recent example of this came up when the Federal Communications Commission was planning a new tax on telephone calls. The tax was a high one--up to 5 percent on long distance calls. The goal of the tax was a noble one: funding the wiring of schools to the Internet. But the FCC guessed people didn't want to fund the wiring of schools, at least not to the tune of 5 percent a call. So it disguised its tax by calling it a "universal service charge." And the commission did its very best to conceal even that phrase from consumers. It begged major phone carriers like AT&T and Sprint to bury the cost in bills, not to itemize at all, so consumers wouldn't know what was driving up their costs. In the old days--before the breakup of AT&T in the early 1980s, this might have worked. AT&T did all sorts of favors for the federal government in exchange for the power to keep its national telephone monopoly.
But these aren't the old days. AT&T isn't a monopoly. The phone companies, all of them, must operate in a competitive market. AT&T, Sprint, and MCI were legitimately afraid they would lose customers if they didn't explain the new cost to customers. Eventually--after an enormous fight--they prevailed and itemized the tax on monthly statements. The FCC began to hem and haw about the size of its tax, even talked about reducing it. It seemed the invisible hand might get the better of the greedy hand, at least for the moment.
Meanwhile, though, the greedy hand, always on the lookout for new pockets, was busy elsewhere. As soon as Internet shopping took wings in the mid-1990s, state revenue departments got to work trying to find a way to tax it. The state of Ohio was the most aggressive of the tax collectors. But Americans didn't like the notion of tax coming to their Internet lives, an area that had heretofore seemed blissfully free of government intervention. They complained. Eventually Congress passed, and President Clinton signed, the Internet freedom bill, severely curtailing Web taxation.
Over the years state lawmakers and those who levy shopping taxes have gotten cleverer about this. They have figured out that the greedy hand can keep its control--and continue to jerk citizens around--if it dispenses tax favors. The Mall of America's tax financing was one such example. Elizabeth, New Jersey's, special urban-enterprise zone is another one.
Taxpayers shouldn't necessarily welcome these changes. That's because many of them end up losers in the game. Minnesota's losers are the citizens of Minneapolis and St. Paul, who pay more to subsidize the breaks the state gives to Bloomington's Mall of America. They are the purchasers of furniture, batteries, cars--anything but clothing or food--who subsidize the citizens who make those tax-free purchases of clothing and food. Over the years this form of patronage has become very expensive: states spend hundreds of millions to lure particular businesses. That's a form of corporate welfare that hurts a silent majority who don't have a lobby to pound doors at the state office for industrial development.
The Case of Cigarettes
Today this has particular relevance, because in coming years America will see one of the greater experiments in tax shopping in our history. Federal and state lawmakers have joined hands to raise tobacco taxes, an effort to gain revenue by punishing a behavior we've come to know is dangerous: smoking. But if they raise tobacco taxes too much, people will react. They will manufacture bootleg cigarettes here. Or they will cross the border to buy cigarettes off the books in Mexico, or pay runners and smugglers who do that for them.
Canada ran such an experiment when it raised cigarette taxes in 1991. Soon there was massive smuggling, which led to terrible crime and a general breakdown of order. The Mounties were called out: the government took to running elaborate sting operations. But not all provinces went along. Bruce Bartlett, an economist who studied the matter, noted that a carton of cigarettes can be bought for $26.40 Canadian (U.S. $18.50) in Ontario and resold illegally for $48.55 in British Columbia or $50.62 in Newfoundland. A new round of smuggling ensued. The papers reported that enough cigarettes were being smuggled into British Columbia to feed the habits of 130,000 smokers.
To those who say that can't happen in America, the sobering answer is that it already has. In the 1930s, Prohibition's constraints on the sale of liquor showed how angry citizens can become when government intrudes too much on the matter of their sin. The result was the greatest lawlessness of this century. While heavy cigarette taxes are not the same as an outright ban, they too are likely to do wonders for the underground sale and smuggling of the punished commodity.
Meanwhile the tax game goes on, move and countermove, an amusing exercise but also a grim one. To know what it means to consumers, one only has to talk to people who plan trips to the Mall of America, or look at the faces of the parents filing under the blue-and-yellow awning of IKEA stores. They are excited, but they are also determined: their bargain better be there at the other end, their excursion had better deliver the excitement and the savings they hope for. They have come this far, and damned if they aren't going to get something back.

Clarendon man denies assaultJune 19,2014Man denies guilt in assault charges
A man charged with beating and kicking a woman in a Rutland parking lot denied a pair of charges in Rutland criminal court Monday.
John Christian Jr., 22, of Clarendon, pleaded innocent to misdemeanor counts of domestic assault and interfering with access to emergency services.
He was released on court-ordered conditions that include a restriction on having contact with the woman he allegedly assaulted.
Rutland police arrested Christian early Saturday morning after a woman told police he beat her in the parking lot adjacent to the former Blockbuster Video store.
The woman told police that Christian held her down on the trunk of a car shortly after 3:30 a.m. and punched and slapped her. He then allegedly threw her to the ground and kicked her.
The woman also told police that Christian has repeatedly threatened to kill her, and she said she was forced to run to a house for help.MORE IN This Just In

Good except for dosa and chapathiIt is a good one to make curry, pressure cook, idli. The dosa setting is awful with a non stick. The dosa or chapathi takes ages to cook.

that plowed into the back of a minivan stopped at a red light south
of Miami.
