A tax on indoor tanning would reduce demand in EuropeBMJ 2012; 345 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmj.e6550 (Published 02 October 2012) Cite this as: BMJ 2012;345:e6550

The use of indoor tanning beds has been established to be a serious risk to human health.1 In the European Union, Northern Ireland is the latest country to pass legislation that prohibits under 18s from using indoor tanning equipment. Although this will protect children from this risk, more needs to be done if we are to respond to the International Agency for Research on Cancer's suggestion that we need also to "discourage young adults from using indoor tanning equipment."1
Globally, the incidence of cutaneous melanoma has increased faster than any other common cancer, with an approximate doubling of rates every 10-20 years in countries with predominantly white populations.2 For instance, in 2008 there were about 70 000 incidences of, and more than 14 000 deaths from, melanoma in the European Union.3 Although attempts at public education by health agencies and charities have increased, these are being obscured by spurious claims by the indoor tanning industry of the benefits of indoor tanning.4
Recent lessons from tobacco control in the EU teach us that tax increases are the single most effective intervention to reduce demand for harmful products.5 The EU needs to follow the example of the United States by introducing a so called tan tax; an excise on indoor tanning services. A new EU directive for the taxation of indoor tanning services would complement existing directives focused on product safety.6 Importantly, these excise duties would provide additional revenue for governments and reduce numbers of melanomas and other skin cancers—something that would also subsequently reduce governments' healthcare costs. All or a portion of this revenue could be earmarked for public health education initiatives warning of the dangers of ultraviolet radiation exposure.
As part of its attempt to fund healthcare reform, the Obama administration introduced in July 2010 a 10% excise duty on indoor tanning. It is estimated that the tax will raise $2.7bn (£1.67bn; €2.1bn) in revenue over a decade.7 Subsequent research from the US suggests that there has been high compliance with the legislation, with 80% of salons collecting the tax from customers. Also, early evidence indicates that use of indoor tanning equipment has declined after the introduction of the tax, with salons reporting about a quarter fewer clients.8
Taking the United Kingdom as an example, I estimate that over a decade a 10% excise duty on indoor tanning could raise revenues of between £95m and £113m. The price elasticity of demand is a measure used in economics to denote the percentage change in demand for a product after a change in the price of that product. Although substantial data are lacking on price elasticity of demand for indoor tanning services, I can make some predictions. Despite early US evidence of an overall decline in use, indoor tanning services might still have a relatively low price elasticity of demand.8 That said, indoor tanning services may be more elastic than tobacco, given its addictive nature, and therefore more sensitive to price increases.
The average price elasticity for demand for tobacco in EU member states has been estimated at between −0.5 and −0.7 (price elasticity values are usually negative).9 As such, we might suggest that the lowest price elasticity for demand for sunbeds would be −0.5; that is, with a 10% tax induced price increase, the use of indoor tanning services would probably decrease by 5%. It is more likely, however, that the price elasticity of demand for indoor tanning services would be somewhere in the region of −1.0 to −2.0 (where a 10% price increase would mean a 10-20% decrease in use). Additionally, because businesses in the UK and EU are accustomed to the collection of consumption taxes on the purchase price of products (for example, value added tax), there is little reason to suspect that compliance will be a problem. Using lower and upper elasticities of demand of −0.5 and −2.0, I estimate basic revenue in the UK of £95m to £113m over a decade (see box). Of course, this amount would change in the event of additional tax increases.
The most price sensitive populations (that is, responsive to tax increases) are low and middle income populations.5 Data from the UK show a strong trend between the number of indoor tanning outlets in an area and its level of deprivation, with about twice as many indoor tanning outlets found in low income areas as in high income areas.10 Given that current demand for indoor tanning services in low income areas is double that of high income areas, and given that the price elasticity of demand is likely to be higher for the former, public health gains from the introduction of a substantial excise duty on these services would be maximised.
More research is needed to update our knowledge of indoor tanning behaviours in the EU and to establish more specific price elasticities of demand for indoor tanning services. However, as the case of tobacco has shown, for substantial public health gains, taxation at higher rates is necessary. When you consider that the current EU directive for cigarettes ensures that the overall excise tax is a minimum of 57% of the total (tax inclusive) retail sales price,11 then a 10% tax on indoor tanning services is probably inadequate from a public health perspective. Indoor tanning salons and manufacturers of indoor tanning equipment are likely to oppose such an intervention. However, the profit margins of any industry should not be allowed to compromise policies that enable gains in public health.
We should also explore ways in which indoor tanning salons can promote so called spray tanning services at the expense of ultraviolet tanning. Making high quality spray tanning services more available and affordable, particularly to poor customers, might help to offset opposition from some indoor tanning advocates to the introduction of an excise duty. However, at the very least, the introduction of an excise tax—at any rate—on indoor tanning services is essential as a starting point for future tax increases, and as a means of acknowledging that indoor tanning, like tobacco, is a primary tier carcinogen that warrants its own sin tax.
I calculated the estimated projected revenue using this equation:
Estimated total number of regular sunbed users (not including home use) × mean number of sessions per year × mean cost of a session × tax percentage × percentage of reduction in use of tanning services × number of years = estimated 10 year tax revenue.
Assuming a −2.0 price elasticity of demand: 1.5 million × 11 × £7.20 × 0.1 × 0.80 × 10 = £95 million
Assuming a −0.5 price elasticity of demand: 1.5 million × 11 × £7.20 × 0.1 × 0.95 × 10 = £113 million.
I adjusted the estimated baseline tax revenue using price elasticities of demand to take into account the reduction in use after the tax induced price increase. The figures assume a 100% compliance with the legislation, and do not take into account any tax offsets.
The estimated number of users and the average number of sessions per year were derived from consumer research, including a 1996 report on suntanning and sunbeds.12 This report is to my knowledge still the most complete data source on adult sunbed use and behaviours in the UK. It was considered as recently as 2009 by the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment10 and by the National Assembly for Wales.13 Additionally, data from the US suggest that sunbed use has remained at similar levels to those of the mid 1990s.14 More research on the use of indoor tanning services is needed. If use has increased in the UK, then this of course represents a greater threat to public health, but also an opportunity for additional tax revenues and public health gains to be made from the introduction of an indoor tanning tax. The average cost of a session was derived from data from an online sample of UK tanning salons throughout the UK and their services and prices (mean length of session × mean cost per minute).

This may come as a shock, but listening to local music for a quasi-living isn't all sweetness and light. So it's that much more of a disappointment when some of the best bands in town called it quits at the height of their powers. This fall found Bad Folk, the Rats & People and the Bureau all hanging it up; the latter two released two of the best local CDs of 2007, and Bad Folk was set to release its long-awaited LP right around the time of the split. Here's hoping the scattered band members do something productive with their newfound freedom.

Attention, Beyonce's lyrics: If a woman chooses a man who's replaceable, then who's the bigger loser when she replaces him with the same model? If liking it means putting a ring on it, who owns the identity? "Mrs." Sasha Fierce? Bish, please. Depth isn't a personality we assume, it's what becomes us after we learn to live without mommy management. If you were a boy, you'd be Justin Timberlake imitating you in a leotard on SNL, and I'd like you a whole lot more.

Their live shows are "legendary," an "experience." They "writhe" and "wiggle." They are "all that and a bag of chips." These are quotes from the press kit of buzzed-up Philadelphia band Man Man. Plus — "real mustaches" and "white body paint." Would tunes be too much to ask? Apparently, because "ardent fans," dressed just like their barking, bawling, irony-peddling heroes, "carry the message out to the world." It's all about "rocking out" to the "fucked up dance party." Hipsters will do that when they can't afford Blue Man Group tickets.

text: I was wondering if any of you experienced step moms could tell me how long it takes for your stepchildren to finally fully accept you? For visits to feel comfortable and without tension. It has been two years and we have made tremendous progress. At times though I still feel like I am the outsider…the odd woman out. I often feel that I am basically just their father's wife. I was unhappy that neither of my stepchildren wished me a happy birthday after their dad told them it was my birthday. Is this what stepmother hood is all about? I guess my problem is that I shouldn't seek validation of myself as a person by the way my stepchildren treat me. I mean this is what I chose…to marry a man with children. I don't want to be up there with "mom"- that is reserved for their mother and the fact that they only visit with us part of the time makes the whole getting to know you thing a little difficult since I don't see her much. Just when I feel that I've finally reached the point where I am accepted my sd will make a comment about how horrible divorce is and how she is still devastated and will make comments when we watch movies and there is a step mom in it that step mother's are all evil. It's been 8 years since her parents divorced. Her mother moved on right away with a man and married and her dad had a few serious relationships before me. I had nothing to do with the divorce and her parents have clearly moved on so why am I being punished? They are never disrespectful or mean to me and I know from reading some of the posts that it could be MUCH worse. It's subtle. Like on our one-year anniversary. My ss gave us both a big hug and said happy anniversary. My sd was sullen and said nothing all day. Any suggestions on how I can deal with this without taking it personally?

Salem police ask for public's help after lewd incidents at bookstore
Salem police are looking for this man in connection with an alleged lewd incident at Barnes and Noble on Tuesday. (Courtesy)
SALEM – Salem detectives are investigating several incidents of indecent exposure and lewd activity in the Barnes and Noble store on South Broadway and are asking for the public's help in identifying the most recent suspect.
"There have been three documented incidents since June with what detectives believe are three different suspects," said Deputy Police Chief Shawn Patten. "The latest incident occurred this past Tuesday."
In the latest incident, a woman said she was sitting on the floor reading at the bookstore around 7 p.m. on Tuesday when an unfamiliar, older white male with tan shorts and curly grayish hair approached her.
The woman said the man knelt down next to her, exposed himself, and began masturbating, according to Patten.
"The victim said that she threw her book on the shelf and ran to find and employee," said Patten.
The suspect then fled the store. Police have several photos of the suspect from the store and are asking anyone with information to contact Detective Robert Genest at (603) 890-2381.

Hungary's national dish is hearty goulash, but also is known for its excellent salamis, cheeses, nut-flavored pancakes, fresh-water fish and preserved fruits. It is perhaps desserts for which Austrian cuisine is most famous: From strudels made with all kinds of fruit and nuts to soufflés and elegant chocolate cakes such as the world-famous Sachertorte. Thick soups of veal, beef and venison flavored with cranberries, onion and paprika are popular, as is the renowned Wiener Schnitzel. Fish-lovers will find abundant options of wild trout, roast carp and crayfish. Czech food is typically large portions of veal, beef and potato dishes. Some of the world's finest beers are produced here, including the original Budweiser and Pils.

[UPDATE: Bungie has now responded to this issue its official forums, stating that,
"As always, all of the characters in our games are fictional. Any similarities between real life and the characters in our games are purely coincidental.
That said, this is both an unfortunate and untended [sic] coincidence."]
This is strange. This is very strange indeed. While poring through the now-traditional garbled text in the just-released trailer for Bungie's next mysterious Halo project, we noticed this:
The message is only up there for a grand total of three frames, but given the possible relationship to the real-life disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann last year - and the still-running international media frenzy around the tragic case - it really made us sit up and take notice.
What do you think? Is this a direct reference to the case? Or has Bungie's usual random cryptic nonsense just accidentally synchronised with its details? And if the message does relate to the McCann case, what purpose could it possibly serve (except of course to whip up more media interest around the trailer, which this story is admittedly now part of)?
Heartfelt pondering? Bad taste? Complete coincidence? Let us know what you think.

Each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during the month of March, a blue shamrock (shown to the right) will be placed somewhere on LVC's campus. Throughout the day, clues as to its location will be provided until the shamrock is found.
Once found, contest participants must take a photo with the shamrock and post it on Instagram using the hashtag #ShamrockSearch. The theme for each day will decide the winner. For example, some days the winner will be the first one to find the shamrock, while other days the winner will be the most creative photo or just a random winner based on all those that find the blue shamrock.
The winner each day will receive an LVC Prize Pack, including a $10 Dutchmen Den or InterMetzo gift card, as well as other fun LVC prizes. Additionally, an overall contest winner will be selected at the end of the month to receive a larger gift card based on participation.

How concerned should BYU fans really be after ACC snub?
Mark A. Philbrick
Thursday's report that the ACC wouldn't consider BYU a "Big 5" opponent under its new scheduling rules had some Cougar fans running for the panic button. Now that the dust has settled and the initial emotional flares have died down, how much does this really matter?
BYU fans are right to be concerned, but it's way too early to hit that panic button.
For those not familiar with this news, the SEC and now the ACC will require their members to play a member of the so-called "Big 5" every season starting in 2017. The "Big 5" comprises the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC with Notre Dame added as an independent. ESPN's Brett McMurphy reported on Twitter that the ACC will not count BYU as part of the "Big 5."
It's easy to understand why BYU fans are concerned. The so-called "Big 5" conferences are trying to build a wall around themselves with as much of the prestige and money of college football as possible, and as of right now, the Cougars are on the outside looking in.
That's nothing new. Ever since BYU won the national championship in 1984, power teams and conferences have tried to make sure that as few teams in as few select conferences as possible have a chance to win it all. In a nutshell, that's what's wrong with college football.
So, what does the ACC's decision really change?
Certainly, this was a rude awakening for many fans about how at least two of the power conferences view BYU as an independent. It's infuriating to Cougar fans to think that teams such as Indiana, Boston College, Wake Forest and Colorado will be considered power opponents while BYU will not. This move was a slap in BYU's face, no doubt about it.
But again, what does that really change?
The Cougars have played just four ACC and SEC teams since the Cougars went independent. In comparison, BYU played seven Pac-12 teams. Out of the "Big 5," BYU will play more games against the Pac-12. While the Pac-12 doesn't seem to want BYU as part of its conference, there's plenty of teams in that conference that are willing to play the Cougars.
The bulk of BYU's "Big 5" opponents will come from the Pac-12, Big 12 and to a lesser extent the Big Ten. If Pac-12 teams stop scheduling the Cougars, then it's time to panic. With games against Utah, Cal, USC, Arizona, Washington State, Arizona State and Stanford all on future schedules, the Cougars don't have anything to worry about there.
BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe has the hardest job in the FBS, and this move does make his job a bit harder. With that in mind, Holmoe has done an incredible job with scheduling given the difficulties of being independent. Holmoe will have a harder time convincing ACC and SEC teams to play the Cougars given that they don't fulfill these conferences silly new rules.
However, BYU does have a good relationship with a conference in the Eastern U.S.: The American Athletic Conference.
Conference commissioner Mike Aresco already said as much to USA Today: "Our league has almost developed a quasi-alliance with BYU. We really did that on purpose. They're gonna be in our first bowl game at Miami Beach and we've got a lot of teams playing them over the next five or six years two or three times, and we might even do more of that."
That should be excellent news to BYU fans.
Sure, the American doesn't have teams such as Florida State, Clemson and Virginia Tech of the ACC. That said, BYU probably has the same odds of scheduling those big-name teams as they did before Thursday's report. So, isn't playing teams such as UConn, Cincinnati, Central Florida and Houston on the same level or better of playing teams such as Boston College, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech and Virginia?
So, what's really changed?
Yes, the ACC's new silly elitist scheduling policy hurt BYU fans' feelings. It's certainly been an eye-opener to see where other conferences view BYU. The Cougars clearly have work to do to build its reputation, and not losing games such as the one against Virginia last season will certainly help.
But for now, it's best to keep that panic button safely locked away under a thick layer of glass.

It's that time of year again, the holidays have crept up on us and the tell-tale signs are all around. It may be too early just yet for many of us to get into that holiday spirit, but the HOSA and Key clubs of Kamiah have gotten the jump on holiday gift giving by organizing a project for military personnel overseas to bring them a bit of holiday cheer.
Kamiah High students and staff work to fill holiday cheer packages that will be sent to military personel overseas. Janene Engle/Progress

Schoolteacher Amanda Leach beat the odds and accomplished what every serious runner dreams about—running in the New York City Marathon.
Leach grew up at Kamiah and graduated from KHS in 2001. In only her second marathon ever, she had no podium plans. She was just hoping to be a part of something magical. She wasn't disappointed.
Kamiah city officials are cautiously optimistic about finding enough money to fix and reopen the pool after closing the facility a year ago.
Grantwriter Debbie Evans visited with the Kamiah City Council during a brief regular council meeting Nov. 12 to discuss the topic.
The Clearwater Progress is pleased to offer a new choice in reading the local news. The Progress is now offering online newspaper subscriptions.
So if you live in Tahiti or Texas and want to keep up on the news of the Clearwater Valley, it's only a couple clicks away.
For the past six months the Progress has been looking at ways to provide better service to subscribers who live outside our immediate area. A number of readers have expressed a desire to receive the paper faster than what the Postal Service can provide.
The new online subscription option is the solution to those requests. In brief, the entire newspaper—just as it appears in the print version—will be viewable online for those who purchase an online subscription. Well, there will be one noticeable difference. Subscribers to the online paper won't have to wash any ink off their fingers.
Online subscriptions include access to optimized pdf files of The Clearwater Progress print version, posted on our website www.clearwaterprogress.com that can be enlarged to the size that fits the reader's eyesight.
The online version of the paper will be viewable on Thursday morning, just as the print version is provided to local postal boxes on Thursday. In fact, thanks to the marvel of technology, online viewers, depending on when they log in, may be able to read the week's news before all of the local papers hit mailboxes.
Subscribers to this new service will have full access to our entire website. They will be able to scroll through the paper page by page online, viewing all the news as well as the advertisements. Online subscribers will access our website via a secure password. We will also be archiving our pages so if subscribers miss an article they can always go back and find it.
Non-subscribers will have limited access to postings on our website, such as our real estate guide, Service Directory, Business Profile and brief news postings.
Instead of repackaging the paper in some form on the website, which can be difficult for readers to find their way around and tends to be less effective for advertising, we feel it is most beneficial for readers and advertisers to post the digital newspaper pages on our website in sequential order.
This method gives added value to advertisers because their ad remains right next to the news copy for people to see, instead of being lost in a sea of website tab options.
Anyone is welcome to subscribe to this service. We recognize that some people prefer to read news on a computer just as some love doing so in their favorite chair in the living room, the kitchen table, or the bathroom.
In addition to either online and print subscription options, readers may also choose to have both.
Those who have purchased subscriptions to our print edition will continue to receive the paper until it expires. If they wish to renew the paper version, they can do so. Or, readers may choose to purchase an online subscription instead.
Online subscription rates are $16 for six months and $27 for one year. For more information, click on Online Subscription Plans on the left side of the screen.

The managers of Austin's Circuit of the Americas race track are arguing the $7 million-plus property-tax bill they receive in January is more than 2½ times higher than it should be, an assertion disputed by the arm of the local government that sets property values.
The two sides have been in district court since the fall, and Wednesday, in a separate hearing, Circuit of the Americas will argue that government appraisers are trying to overvalue the track for the second year in a row.

MANHATTAN, Kan. - The Alcantara family held a memorial service and a burial service for Alheli Alcantara, 18, of Topeka, who was found dead Sunday morning outside a Quality Inn in Manhattan.
The Mass was held Saturday, Oct. 18 at Seven Dolors Catholic Church in Manhattan. Her body was buried in Topeka. Click the video to hear some of the comforting comment.
Alheli's mother and older sister are both students at Kansas State University and in an effort to support them in this time of unexpected need, a fund has been set up to help with funeral and other associated expenses. After those are covered (roughly $12,000), the family plans to convert the fund into a scholarship for students who work with victims of violence, studying criminal law/investigation.
The Alheli Alcantara Memorial Fund has been set up at Commerce Bank.
People wishing to make a contribution may contact Christina McCarty or Jill Hagadorn at 785-776-1234.

The Silver Eye reader Aceofstars has thrown together a Secret Santa for TSE fans! You can read info about it on Deviantart or Tumblr, plus I am doing sketches for everyone who participates! A lot of the prompts people have come up with so far are hilarious.
I made a new winter Enel portrait! Partly to promote the Secret Santa, and partly because we need to see a happy Enel. It has been too long.
Patreon supporters got special things this week! I talked a bit about Syllor's Curse with this page for all patrons. Behind the Scenes got a look at a new(ish) character. Spoilers are getting a mini-comic that features Melete, Enel, and kid Noah! It gives me many feels. I offer you a preview of it to the right because kid Noah is adorable.
I like Apen's "Is that what's supposed to happen?" face in the fourth panel, you can vote TWC to see it at full size! (And ignore that the preview on the banner is still Melete, I'm just going to leave it like that because it's a hassle to update it every time I change the vote incentive)
Thanks for reading!

The Cleveland Cavaliers reduced their roster to the 15-man limit by waiving forward/center Michael Eric, forward Eric Jones and guard D'Aundray Brown. It's possible all three players will be on Cleveland's Canton affiliate in the NBA Developmental League. With the cuts, Cavs coach Byron Scott decided to keep three point guards with Donald Sloan and Jeremy Pargo backing up rookie of the year Kyrie Irving. Cleveland opens the season on Tuesday at home against Washington. The 6-foot-11 Eric averaged 0.5 rebounds and 3.5 minutes in two exhibition games. Jones, who played at West Virginia, 2.5 rebounds in nine minutes in two preseason games. Brown was signed on Thursday. He played at Cleveland State, making 91 career starts for the Vikings.

Slim and portable like a credit card, matte silver like a stainless steel refrigerator and sleek like an iPhone, this pipe is an ideal product for the medical marijuana smoker. The pipe is only 3 x 2 inches and thinner than an iPhone which allows it to be stored in a pocket or wallet. The durable construction means you're more likely to lose the tiny convenient pipe before you find a way to break it.
We at AZmarijuana.com have seen the Palm Leaf pipes being used amongst Arizona medical marijuana patients and they all seems to really enjoy the neat and functional pipe.
