Ohio State Buckeyes: Ohio State Buckeyes
Helmet stickers: Week 5
QB J.T. Barrett
- The redshirt freshman is growing up in a hurry and his rapid development is turning the Buckeyes into the kind of high-octane attack Urban Meyer envisions for his program despite all the youth on the field -- including, obviously, at quarterback. The passing numbers are certainly impressive, and the Buckeyes will win a lot of games with Barrett completing 26 passes on 36 attempts for 330 yards and four touchdowns. But it was the work he did as a rusher by making the proper reads in the zone game and showing his elusiveness as a scrambler as he chipped away at the Bearcats with 79 yards on the ground that really impressed in just his fourth start.
- The task of replacing Carlos Hyde at running back actually seemed like a bigger chore than filling Braxton Miller's job at quarterback early in the season as Ohio State struggled early to establish itself as a threat on the ground. But Elliott is looking more than capable of taking the torch in the backfield now, and the Buckeyes didn't shy away from giving him a heavy workload as he relentlessly battered away at Cincinnati with 6.5 yards per carry on the way to a total of 182 with a touchdown. Elliott was also a factor as a target in the passing game, catching five passes for 51 yards to cap his breakout performance.
- Cincinnati had reasons to feel good about itself after delivering a huge touchdown pass early to take a quick lead, and the Buckeyes needed somebody on the defensive side of the ball to change that. It certainly shouldn't come as a surprise that it was the sophomore sensation who took it upon himself, bulling into the backfield and absolutely leveling Bearcats quarterback Gunner Kiel with a hit that jarred the football loose and led to a safety that allowed Ohio State to reclaim control and dictate the game. The Bearcats would come climb back to within five points in the third quarter thanks to breakdowns in the secondary, but the night might have looked far different without Bosa's sack and forced fumble.
Picks to click: Week 5
QB J.T. Barrett
- The redshirt freshman made the most of a confidence-building blowout over Kent State before the off date, showing off his accuracy, leading the offense with poise and tying the school mark for touchdown passes along the way. The Bearcats rank just No. 106 in the country in total defense early in the season, and there should be opportunities for the Buckeyes to rack up yardage and put up points if the offensive line gives him time to throw. With just three starts under his belt, Barrett is far from a finished product at this early stage, but that experience and the extra time to prepare should work in his favor against Cincinnati.
- It's no secret the Bearcats will come out firing the football all over the field, and Gunner Kiel has given them no reason not to with 10 touchdown passes in just two starts. Ohio State's revamped secondary has shown signs of improvement, but this will be the measuring stick to see just how far it has come since last season's embarrassing work defending the pass left it ranked No. 110 in the nation. Grant has been widely praised for his leadership in the rebuilding project, and he will no doubt be busy against a talented set of Cincinnati receivers. But considering the volume of passes that will be coming his way and some interception issues popping up for Kiel last week, Grant should break through with his first pick of the season.
- The sophomore looks explosive as ever when he gets the ball in his hands, but it likely hasn't been there as much as Ohio State would like so far this season. The versatile weapon has just eight carries and five receptions through three games, and while the Buckeyes have plans to spread the opportunities around the roster, Wilson probably needs a bigger share since he's averaging nearly 12 yards per touch. It seems like a safe bet Ohio State will start making a more concerted effort to get him involved against the Bearcats.
Helmet stickers: Week 3
With a bye week looming, these three Buckeyes stood out the most and could be ready to take some steps forward down the line.
H-Back Curtis Samuel
The true freshman has drawn rave reviews from coach Urban Meyer for his explosiveness, and he really had a chance to show it off against an overmatched Kent State defense. Samuel looked like the football version of an acrobat, spinning away from tacklers, flying through the air to pick up extra yardage and also sticking one notable landing in the end zone when it looked like he could have easily been stopped short of the goal line. The versatile weapon finished with a pair of touchdowns, complementing his 100 yards rushing and 40 yards on four catches in a performance that will keep Meyer excited about his future.
LB Raekwon McMillan
Breaking into the starting lineup still won't be easy with a steady veteran like Curtis Grant in the way at middle linebacker, but McMillan was another newcomer who took advantage of extra snaps in a lopsided victory. McMillan finished as the leading tackler for Ohio State with seven hits, but it was his three plays behind the line of scrimmage, including two sacks, that offered a glimpse at his athleticism and ability to read plays and react quickly. After spending the past two seasons low on depth at linebacker, the Buckeyes appear to be on their way to restocking the cupboards.
QB J.T. Barrett
Kent State would have been the ideal opponent for Barrett's first career start instead of his third. Maybe then the redshirt freshman and his inexperienced offensive line would have been able to build some confidence before facing an aggressive, physical defense like Virginia Tech's. Obviously it didn't work out that way for the Buckeyes, but Barrett looked to be in complete command and much more comfortable running the show on Saturday, throwing for 312 yards and tying a school record with six touchdown passes. Barrett still has room to grow, and Meyer plans on working him hard during the bye week, but he showed signs of progress with his accuracy and decisions.
B1G media days: Best of Day 1
Coaches are talking about the importance of taking it one game at a time while chasing a conference title. Players have busted out their finest suits and are raving about how difficult the offseason conditioning program was at their schools. And the media grabbed some free food between interviews.
There is one more day to go before the circus leaves Chicago, but before we get to that, the Big Ten blog is handing out some awards to put a bow on the opening day.
Best-dressed player: Michigan State safety Kurtis Drummond. The honors could just as easily have gone to teammates Shilique Calhoun or Connor Cook, the former for his bow tie and the latter for his accessorizing with his enormous championship ring. But Drummond stole the show as the sharpest of the Spartans, who clearly looked the part of returning conference champs.
I think the Best Dressed award has been locked up today. Kurtis Drummond, folks. pic.twitter.com/XAnHXjJWKP— Austin Ward (@AWardESPN) July 28, 2014
Most fun-loving players: The bright spotlight and huge crowd around him might have kept Ohio State coach Urban Meyer a bit guarded, but his players certainly welcomed the attention and weren't afraid of being playful with the media. Tight end Jeff Heuerman loosened things up by locking quarterback Braxton Miller in a headlock, and after that, both decided to moonlight as media members by sneaking over to ask Meyer a few questions toward the end of a session -- a rare glimpse at the personalities off the field of two of the league's best talents on it.
Ohio State's Jeff Heuerman and Braxton Miller decided to join the media today and interview Urban Meyer. pic.twitter.com/scWhYDZRNs— Austin Ward (@AWardESPN) July 28, 2014
Biggest missed opportunity: The Wisconsin-LSU matchup to open the season is appealing enough at a neutral site. But the Badgers and Tigers could have taken the intrigue to another level by hosting those games at two of the loudest, most hostile stadiums in the country -- if only Gary Andersen had been around a couple of years earlier. The Badgers' coach said he "would have said yes" to a home-and-home series at Camp Randall and in Death Valley, a tantalizing what-might-have-been if the Tigers might have been as willing as Andersen.
Most appropriate Twitter handle: Nebraska's Kenny Bell (@AFRO_THUNDER80). The 6-foot-1 receiver was probably the easiest player to pick out of a crowd, as his puffy afro towered over opposing players. Bell's play didn't earn him an award last season -- he was honorable mention on the All-Big Ten team -- but we just couldn't go one more day without recognizing that 'fro.

Best-dressed coach: Penn State's James Franklin. Every day, the head coach spends 22 minutes to shave his head in every direction and trim that goatee ... so it seems slightly surprising that he is probably the coach who spends the most time on his head, considering he's bald. But, hey, it takes time to pull that look off -- and he was also looking dapper with that Penn State lapel, blue tie and matching pocket square. Franklin often jokes that he doesn't need to sleep, so maybe he uses some of that extra time to pick out the right clothes.
James Franklin and our Josh Moyer are sharing head shaving techniques. Seriously. pic.twitter.com/S7iVnnNvo9— Brian Bennett (@BennettESPN) July 28, 2014
Quote of the day: Penn State linebacker Mike Hull has learned under three head coaches -- Joe Paterno, Bill O'Brien and Franklin -- during his career, and their personalities really couldn't have been any different. Hull laughed while providing their takes on social media as an example.
"Yeah, I've seen the whole evolution," he said. "Joe didn't know what Facebook was, O'Brien called Facebook 'Spacebook' and, now, Coach Franklin probably has every social media there is to have. It's crazy."
Most Big Ten quote: "How are you going to approach the Rose Bowl?" -- Michigan coach Brady Hoke, lamenting some aspects of the College Football Playoff in years, like this season, when the Granddaddy of Them All is to serve as a national semifinal game. Hoke suggested that some of the pageantry associated with the game -- for instance, the Beef Bowl team competition at Lawry's, a prime rib restaurant in Beverly Hills -- will be eliminated because of the high stakes and need for a regular game-week regimen. Of the traditional Rose Bowl, Hoke added: "It's the greatest experience in America for kids."
Most Iowa quote (maybe ever): "Sometimes, old school is a good school." -- Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz on his program's resistance to some of the offensive innovation that has swept college football.
Best quote about a player not in attendance: "I don't like standing too close to him because it seems like the wind is always blowing through his hair. When he smiles, this little thing comes off his tooth like in the toothpaste commercial." -- Penn State coach James Franklin on sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg.

Big Ten Thursday mailbag
Now to the good stuff, which is your questions and my fair-to-middling answers:
@BennettESPN It's an odd question but who do you think has a better chance of going undefeated this year, OSU or Iowa?— Samuel Robinson (@samtrobinson) July 24, 2014
Brian Bennett: I haven't thought of it quite like that, but I get your point. Iowa has a definite shot with its advantageous schedule. With the Hawkeyes' toughest two games coming in the final two weeks at home against Wisconsin and Nebraska, they have a chance to be favored in every game. Meanwhile, Ohio State faces many more challenges, including nonconference games against Virginia Tech, Cincinnati and Navy, along with that East Division showdown on the road at Michigan State.
Yet, if I had to pick one team to go undefeated of those two, I'd take the Buckeyes. Iowa's conservative style means that more games are likely to be close -- five of last season's 13 contests were decided by a touchdown or less, while Ohio State had three such games in 14 tries. Looked at another way, the Buckeyes outgained opponents by 137.6 per game in conference play last season, while the Hawkeyes outgained their league foes by 52.5 yards per game. Though past performance shouldn't be our sole guide for looking forward, Ohio State has gone 12-0 in the regular season the past two seasons.
I like Iowa a lot this year and am leaning toward picking Kirk Ferentz's team to win the West Division. But I'd be surprised if it didn't stub its toe a time or two along the way, whereas another Ohio State undefeated season wouldn't be shocking.
Hussein from Ann Arbor writes: I was reading your DB position preview and couldn't help but notice that Michigan was absent. I understand why they might not be number 1 in the conference, but they are returning tons of talent and I would be surprised if they weren't in the top 3 this upcoming year. Blake Countess is a stud and should compete for All Big-Ten First Team (if not All-American), while Raymon Taylor is very solid at the opposite corner position. At least one safety spot should be locked up with Jarrod Wilson with the other seemingly up for grabs(?). And that's without even mentioning Jabrill Peppers ...
Brian Bennett: I strongly considered Michigan for one of the top two spots, Hussein, and as you can probably tell, those posts are intended to rank every single team. I like the Wolverines' returning experience, and Countess should be one of the top cover guys in the league. Peppers can take the group to the next level if he is the real deal, but I'm a little bit cautious about projecting so much on an incoming true freshman who didn't go through spring ball. I have little doubt Peppers will make an impact this season, but how much? Ultimately, I thought Michigan gave up too many big plays in the passing game last season and wasn't physical enough in the back end. If Peppers helps change that, this crew has a chance to be the best in the Big Ten.
Brian from Raleigh, North Carolina, writes: Hey, Brian, about the Fitz-calls-Nebraska-boring "controversy"... maybe I've got my purple-tinted glasses on, but where's the beef? How are there even Nebraska fans angry about this? I grew up in the middle of nowhere in rural Michigan, and we made fun of how empty and boring it was all the time. Fitz made a bad joke that almost every American has made at some point in their lives. Is this really such a stinging, controversial comment? Or has cliche coachspeak become so dominant that a coach acting like an actual human being for 10 seconds is news?
Brian Bennett: I'm glad you put "controversy" in quotes, because this isn't really a big deal. Pat Fitzgerald's comments about Cal coach Sonny Dykes, I thought, were more intriguing. I can see why Nebraska people wouldn't like it, though. For example, f I call my home state "boring" or insult it in some other way, that's OK; if you as a non-Kentuckian do the same, well, them's fightin' words! Still, Fitzgerald was simply yukking it up with some Northwestern boosters after a summertime golf event, so let's not make it into a culture war. If anything, it adds a little spice to a very dull period, and the Big Ten can be far too dry and polite at times.
Ed from Michigan writes: Hey, Brian. It seem like everyone who follows college football has heard of stories of cheating and then the Big 12 Commissioner says the same. My question: Where is the investigative reporting to uncover this cheating?
Brian Bennett: There is no question about two things, Ed. One, the overwhelming majority of NCAA infractions cases began with a media report, as journalists have been doing the hard legwork for NCAA investigators for years. And two, fewer newspapers and other media outlets are devoting time and resources to investigative journalism these days. Some places still are, for sure. The North Carolina academic scandal is a perfect example of an issue that would have quickly vanished (or never even bubbled up) without the great work of some dogged reporters. What's also true is that uncovering those stories is painstakingly difficult, as it's often nearly impossible to find tangible evidence of cheating and not just accusations. For all the outstanding reporting that went into the Cam Newton affair, for instance, that smoking-gun shred of a paper trail never surfaced.
The bigger issue here, to me, is not from the media side but rather how cheating will be policed in the future. Particularly if -- or, more accurately, when -- the Power 5 schools gain autonomy and write many of their own rules, who will be there to enforce them? Certainly not the understaffed NCAA enforcement division, which will have ceded much of its power anyway. It likely will be up to the schools and conferences themselves. There is a good chance, as Bob Bowlsby said, that cheating will continue to pay off. There will just be fewer rules to break.
@BennettESPN Chances @HoosierFootball finally makes another bowl game ? and how good can Tevin Coleman really be ?— Chris F (@ChrisF3105) July 24, 2014
Brian Bennett: The Hoosiers were close last year. Had they beaten Navy -- or had they given themselves a more manageable nonconference schedule, something athletic director Fred Glass regrets in hindsight -- they would have made their first bowl since 2007. Unfortunately, the schedule is tough again this season, with road trips to Bowling Green (the preseason MAC favorite) and Missouri, a crossover road game at Iowa and the rugged East Division. The good news is that Kevin Wilson had built a standout offense, and the defense has some small reasons for optimism, so IU should at least be within range of bowl eligibility.
As for Tevin Coleman, he's probably one of the most underrated players in the league. He's an outstanding athlete whose length and speed reminds me of Melvin Gordon. In fact, he scored as many rushing touchdowns (12) as Gordon did in four fewer games last season and averaged 7.3 yards per rush. With Indiana potentially relying on the run game a bit more this season, Coleman could put up monster stats.

B1G awards watch list roundup
For one, there are far too many awards -- only country music likes to give itself as many trophies as this sport. There are often way too many players on these lists -- the Rimington Trophy list, for example, includes 64 players, or basically half the starting centers in the FBS, and 10 from the Big Ten alone. And, of course, eventual winners of these awards sometimes come out of nowhere, making the preseason lists even more meaningless.
We relegated almost all the watch list releases to tweets, but if you're interested, we thought we'd compile all the Big Ten players who were nominated in one place. If nothing else, you can come back to this page in December and perhaps have a good chuckle. Here you go:

Finally, watch this list of my preseason awards watch list, uh, awards:
Most nominated: Thanks to his inclusion on multiple defensive award lists as well as one player of the year recognition, Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory leads the way with four nods.
Biggest "snubs:" We use the word "snub" very, very lightly here. Still, it was a mild surprise not to see Venric Mark on the Doak Walker list (he was, after all, nominated for the Maxwell) or for Maryland defensive lineman Andre Monroe to not show up anywhere. Apparently, Monroe's 9.5 sacks and 17 tackles for loss last year weren't good enough to get him on the same list as dozens of other less productive players.
Weirdest list: The Butkus Award folks, bless them, either know something we don't or really swung and missed this year. Neither Maryland's Yannik Cudjoe-Virgil nor Ohio State's Curtis Grant were on anybody's radar for a major award, and you could make a very strong argument that neither is even the best linebacker on his own team (the Terps' Matt Robinson and the Buckeyes' Joshua Perry would have made more sense here). And then there's the omission of Rutgers' Steve Longa, who had 123 tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss. Just plain odd all around.
Just happy to be nominated: Northwestern's Chi Chi Ariguzo and Michigan's Devin Funchess are both outstanding players who should be in strong contention for all-conference and quite possibly All-America honors this season. But they have about as good a chance of winning a national player of the year award (which almost always goes to quarterbacks or running backs, anyway) as I do. Funchess was nominated for both the Maxwell and Walter Camp award, which means he has a great public relations man. Meanwhile, Wisconsin's Joel Stave isn't even guaranteed to start at quarterback this season for the Badgers, yet he found himself on the Davey O'Brien watch list. As usual, it doesn't hurt to cover all the bases when compiling a preseason watch list.

Big Ten Wednesday mailbag
@GeoffreyMarshal via Twitter writes: What do Wednesday's commitments say, if anything, about B1G recruiting? Is B1G recruiting too top-heavy?
Brian Bennett: Ohio State's additions of a pair of top 20 players in linebacker Justin Hilliard and defensive end Jashon Cornell is huge news for the Buckeyes, but not all that surprising. Urban Meyer and his staff have killed it on the recruiting front since they arrived in Columbus. We also know that James Franklin is going bonkers at Penn State, with ESPN's No. 4 nationally ranked class right now. And don't forget about Brady Hoke. While Michigan hasn't wrapped up as many commitments this summer as it has in years past, the Wolverines are still sitting on a top 25 class with room to improve.
But did we learn anything? Those three schools have long been at the forefront of recruiting in the Big Ten. If anything, the aggressive tactics of Meyer and Franklin might pull the rest of the league forward, because they risk getting left behind if not.
Then again, look at the last three Big Ten champions: Michigan State and Wisconsin (twice -- one impacted, of course, by Ohio State's probation). Neither of those programs usually finds itself among the elite in the recruiting rankings but instead both do a great job of scouting and developing talent. So just collecting star prospects guarantees nothing, though it is a nice place to start.
@hicksoldier via Twitter writes: What in your opinion is the reason that MSU keeps missing out on top recruits, especially on defense? And what can they change?
Brian Bennett: It's a stretch to say the Spartans keep missing out. Remember Malik McDowell, a top defensive tackle recruit Michigan State landed earlier this year after much drama? But I see your point. Michigan State made Cornell's final top five, but he ended up choosing Columbus. One would think, given Mark Dantonio's success in developing players -- especially on defense -- coupled with the team's rise toward the national elite would help the Spartans land a few more studs. But a school like Ohio State is always going to have some advantages in recruiting. The good news is Dantonio's staff does a tremendous job figuring out which players will fit the team's system and then polishing them into stars. And if Michigan State can continue to win big on the field and churn out pros, higher-caliber recruits should look toward East Lansing.
Glenn from Siesta Key, Fla., writes: Brian, why is it that during this offseason you constantly are mentioning the PSU OL as a weakness and question mark, while it seems OSU is pretty much in the same boat? Yet, all you talk about is how OSU will win its division and could be a playoff contender. Won't Braxton Miller have the same challenge as Christian Hackenberg if his OL doesn't show up?
Brian Bennett: For starters, I haven't said Ohio State will win the East Division. I'm not ready to predict that yet. You make a decent point, as both the Buckeyes and the Nittany Lions likely will be replacing four starters on the offensive line. I have written that the offensive line is a question mark for Ohio State. But the two teams also are coming from different starting points. Ohio State's offensive line was the best in the league the past two years, and the recruiting at that position has been solid. Ed Warriner is one of the best position coaches in the nation.
Penn State's offensive line wasn't as dominant last year as the Buckeyes', and depth is a concern given the scholarship limitations. But I do really like Herb Hand and think he very well could have a Warriner-like impact for the Nittany Lions. We'll see. If Ohio State's line doesn't come together quickly, the Buckeyes could have problems early on against Virginia Tech.
Chris from Princeton, N.J., writes: I know you guys don't see Rutgers as a bowl team this year but let's say they do manage to get six wins. Where do you see those potential wins coming from?
Brian Bennett: It's not out of the realm of possibility that Rutgers makes a bowl, but the Scarlet Knights will have to win all of their toss-up games for it to become likely, given the schedule. They figure to be heavy underdogs against Michigan and Wisconsin at home and versus Ohio State, Nebraska and Michigan State on the road. Going across the country for the opener against Washington State in Seattle looks very difficult as well.
That leaves very little margin for error. You can pencil in wins over Howard and Tulane at home. Beating Navy in Annapolis, while not an easy task, is doable and probably crucial. Conference games against Indiana at home and Maryland on the road could go either way. The Big Ten opener against Penn State should be played in front of a raucous atmosphere, and the Lions were often vulnerable on the road last season. So Rutgers is basically going to have to sweep all of its 50-50 games or pull off a big upset anywhere. Good luck with all that.
Craig from Braintree, Mass., writes: Brian, do you recall the days of Marion Barber and Laurence Maroney? Could the mix of guys the Gophers have produce two 1,000-yard rushers?
Brian Bennett: I sure do, Craig. Those two guys were loads of fun to watch. I'm not sure which is harder to believe, in retrospect, about the 2004 Gophers: that they finished only 7-5 with that pair in the backfield, or that they beat Alabama in a bowl game. But going back to your question, Minnesota has an awful lot of talent at running back this season. David Cobb somewhat quietly ran for 1,202 yards last season, 12th most in school history. Donnell Kirkwood came close to 1,000 yards in 2012, and Rodrick Williams Jr. is a 247-pound beast who's almost impossible to bring down on first contact. Add in redshirt freshman Berkley Edwards, who might be more talented than all of the, and quarterback Mitch Leidner, who's got great wheels as well. And that's not even considering top 2014 recruit Jeff Jones, who might not be academically eligible.
Can two Gophers get to 1,000 yards? Minnesota almost certainly will be a rush-first team again this year. The hope is that the passing game improves enough so the offense isn't rush-first, rush-second and rush-third as well. I'm not sure there will be enough carries for two players to get to 1,000 yards, and the offense has to stay on the field longer to provide more opportunities. There may not be a Maroney or a Barber in this group, but it still should be fun to watch.
Buckeyes climb in new ESPN class rankings
Back in early May, we heard from some concerned Buckeyes fans who were wringing their hands over Ohio State's slow start in the latest recruiting cycle. Back then, their team had only two commitments.
My reaction was simply to chuckle, because I don't see any reason to worry about the job Urban Meyer and his staff do on the recruiting trail. And just two months later, look at the Buckeyes now.
Ohio State landed two monster commitments this morning when defenders Jashon Cornell and Justin Hilliard gave their verbal pledges within minutes of each other. Both are five-star players, according to ESPN Recruiting, with Hilliard ranking as the No. 1 outside linebacker and No. 13 overall prospect in the ESPN 300 and Cornell checking in as the No. 5 defensive end and No. 16 overall prospect. Craig Haubert has a breakdown of how much impact the pair of five-star prospects can make on the Buckeyes' defense.
Cornell, who hails from St. Paul, Minn., eliminated Minnesota from his final list earlier this year. Michigan State and Iowa were also among his finalists. Hilliard, who's from Cincinnati, also considered Michigan and Iowa in his final five.
That gives the Buckeyes 12 total commitments and four in the ESPN 300. Our latest 2015 class rankings now have Meyer's team at No. 6 nationally, up 17 spots from their previous showing. The only other Big Ten schools in the top 25 are Penn State (No. 4 nationally with 17 total commitments) and Michigan (No. 23, eight commits).
The scary thing for the rest of the league is that Meyer and his staff have been known as great closers in the final weeks leading up to signing day, beating out marquee programs for top undecided prospects late. They're already built a great foundation in July. Hilliard said at his press conference that he and Cornell would try and recruit other elite players to join them in Columbus, including four-star Kentucky running back Damien Harris. He took note of today's news.

International Taxation in an Integrated World
AbstractThe ongoing process of increased integration of national economies, culminating in the single European market of 1992, still leaves as virtually separate the national fiscal systems. In this book international economists Jacob Frenkel and Assaf Razin join forces with public finance economist Efraim Sadka to provide a new treatment of international taxation, one that focuses on the interactions between fiscal policies of sovereign nations and the magnitude and directions of international capital and goods flow in an integrated world economy. They unfold a lucid and clear analysis of the implications of tax competition, tax harmonization, capital flight, external imbalances, and the terms of trade for the design of efficient national tax systems. The book extends concepts developed in Frenkel and Razin's Fiscal Policies and the World Economy and includes a theory of taxation in an open world economy. International Taxation in an Integrated World presents the stylized facts and concepts and outlines the main issues of international taxation and the implications for the international movements of goods and capital. It reviews the principles of international taxation and international macroeconomics, analyzes the international transmission of various tax and budget policies, and provides a rigorous analysis of optimal open economy tax policy in an integrated world economy. Special emphasis is placed on the interdependence between direct and indirect taxes and on the international allocation of saving, investment, and production.

I'm new and Arduino is sooo easy for a professional programmer with about 3 dozen languages!
I would suggest that the instructions for the blink test include the simple addition to edit either value after the initial test. So I tried a longer pause, a shorter blink, a longer blink, and a shorter pause. In 4 tests. It is so quick and easy! But now I have absolutely verified that I AM doing something. Took less than 2 minutes.
Happy coding!

Can you imagine showing affection with the touch of a hand and then saying the right words of love? Wow! Who can resist that?
Love makes us feel alive in a way that nothing else can. True romance exists when two individuals show that they care for each other by doing small acts of love that demonstrate care and affection. It makes us feel loved and cared for when we know that our significant other is communicating in a way that pleases us. Communication and romance, not to be confused with sex, are the keys to keeping the sparks flying. Without them, a relationship will soon lose its luster.
So, if you are a pro at romantic relationships, please share your words of wisdom. If you are inexperienced in the ways of romance or unsure of your ability to express your feelings, use LovePoemsAndLyrics.com to find the right words to say to that special someone.

For Best Female Performance, that is. For Best Male Performance, it's Ben Affleck against Bradley Cooper, Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx and Daniel Day-Lewis.
The Oscars, this is not. Tatum also nabbed a nomination in one of the show's two new categories, Best Shirtless Performance. Gotta love MTV.

NEWS: Why Combining Rdio and ONErpm is the Best of Both Worlds
If you didn't already know, we've been changing up our platform a little bit and more is to come. We're now making it completely free to upload your music to Rdio if you only follow us on Twitter, but that's not the big news this morning.
Rdio, itself, has announced its new Artist Program that essentially pays bands $10 every time they bring in a new Rdio subscriber. Now, if you do the math, that's $10 per subscriber and all the royalty money you make off the site with your music. When you add ONErpm's free distribution to Rdio, it's a dream scenario for musicians.
Follow us on Twitter and get started today.

"The French Stallion" Tom La Ruffa signs with WWE: August 8, 2012
The Stallion is headed to WWE developmental, according to the Wrestling Observer. His last appearance in a WWE ring was on the losing end of a three-on-one match against the Big Show (La Ruffa tried to bail on the match but was introduced to the Weapon of Mass Destruction punch). He was also on the first season of World of Hurt with Lance Storm, which was broadcast in Canada. His WOH bio says:
"Portraying the life of a pro-wrestler is one thing, living it is another. Having an ego is vital to becoming a superstar in the wrestling business. Leaving that ego in the ring can become a problem for the French Stallion."
The Stallion's favorite quote: "I like looking good, I like seducing women you know and when you got a body like mine, you're just a Stallion."
The guy does like his Ab Roller.

Catfish Courtbouillon
Kate Sears
Stephen Stryjewski, Cochon. Stephen and co-owner Donald Link conceived Cochon as a shrine to ultra-authentic Cajun foods. That means using the freshest local ingredients available and making ingredients like boudin and andouille sausage the old-fashioned way in the back of the restaurant. Unlike its French ancestor, a light broth used for poaching, a Cajun-style courtbouillon is a thick sort of fish stew, here made even more delicious by frying the fish first.
Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings

Recipe Time
Cook Time:
Prep Time:
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 green bell peppers
- 2 poblano peppers
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 3 medium tomatoes
- 1 whole head garlic
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 6 medium cloves garlic, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- 2 cups fish or seafood stock (for testing purposes, we used Kitchen Basics brand)
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- Hot sauce, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup self-rising white cornmeal mix
- 2 pounds small catfish fillets
- Hot cooked rice
- 1. Preheat broiler. Broil peppers and tomatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet 5 inches from heat, with oven door partially open, about 5 minutes on each side or until blistered. Place in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal and let stand 10 minutes to loosen skins. Open bag, and allow to cool. Peel peppers and tomatoes; remove and discard seeds and stems from peppers.
- 2. Reduce oven temperature to 400º. Cut off pointed end of garlic head; place on a piece of aluminum foil, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Fold foil to seal. Bake at 1 hour; remove and allow to cool. Squeeze pulp from garlic cloves, and place in a food processor with peeled peppers and tomatoes. Pulse until roughly chopped and a chunky consistency.
- 3. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until soft and just beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Add chopped raw garlic, and cook 1 minute more. Stir in chopped pepper mixture.
- 4. Add stock and vinegar, and bring to a low boil. Simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes or until sauce has a thick, stew-like consistency. Season with hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir in mint and next 3 ingredients.
- 5. Combine flour and cornmeal in a shallow dish. Season catfish with salt and pepper, and dredge in cornmeal mixture, pressing to adhere. Heat remaining 4 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat, and fry catfish in batches, 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet, and place in a 200º oven to keep warm.
- 6. Place rice on a large serving platter. Remove fish from oven, and arrange on top of rice. Spoon sauce over fish and serve remaining sauce alongside. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste.

Paris Hilton to guest star on the upcoming season of "Supernatural". I would make a joke about Supernatural being lame, but I've noticed lately that its fanbase is especially rabid when it comes to these things... so I'm putting up the white flag. The show's great! Love it!
"Orphan" comes home on DVD and Blu-ray on October 27th. Wow... that was quick!
Bryan Singer to produce 2012 themed miniseries for Syfy. Wow, that's the greatest/worst sentence I've ever typed. I don't think I'll be able to resist.
News landed today that starting on September 2nd, the unreleased episodes from last summer's "Fear Itself" will be available on FearNET. There will be 5 episodes in total.
On casting news, "True Blood's" Ann Woll joins the cast of Darren Lynn Bousman's "Mother's Day" remake. No word on what character she'll be playing. The production is shooting for a Spring release, so expect production to ramp up pretty quickly as we move into late Summer/Fall.
So Robert Rodriguez's "Machete" has the weirdest cast ever. Robert Deniro, Lindsay Lohan, Michelle Rodriguez... I'm pretty sure this is some kind apocalyptic sign here. Syfy should write this into their miniseries.
This guy's scam to cheat on his wife and swindle women through Craigslist was going really well, until he got caught and they super-glued his dangle to his stomach. Awwwwww shit... I don't care what that guy did, that is NOT COOL.
Newscorp says online news will not be free for much longer. He added, "unless of course you visit bloodygoodhorror.com, that's the greatest site ever and it's totally free". Ya I thought that was weird too, but I thought it best not to question.
1945: At 9:15am, Col. Paul Tibbets releases "Little Boy" over Hiroshima and executes a hard, 159-degree turn. 40 seconds later, the Atomic Bomb detonates, yielding a 12.5 kiloton explosion and a huge, black mushroom cloud. About 45,000 people are killed immediately, and another 200,000 are killed in later years by leukemia and other radiation illnesses.
Bowling, there's nothing quite like it. What other game gives you countless excuses to make jokes about how heavy your balls are. It's really a amazing sport. Well this week's episode of Eureka titled "It's Not Easy Being Green" revolved around a bowling match between the town of Eureka and Area 51.
Alright here we go, week three. Now we're getting somewhere. This past week's episode promised two wonderful things, the title would have a Cypress Hill reference, "Insane In The P-Brain" and we would finally get some info on these radio signals that are directed at Eureka. Well both premises were delivered on but the latter was probably more of a dry hump then anything else.
Cool new motion poster for "Saw VI". This seems to be the new studio trend and I like it, except of course for the incredibly obnoxious music that you can't control. Might want to do something about that, guys.
The Syfy channel's remake of "Children of the Corn" will debut in September... just in time for harvest!
No one's sure exactly how it is going to happen, but news was reported yesterday that the original "Saw" is going to be converted into the new "Real-D" 3D technology. Would you pay to see the film again in a theater, with the new spin?
I can't possibly imagine that this is the first still from "Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever", a film that seems like it's been in development for about 6 years now, but that's what the internet tells me. It was directed by a talented guy named Ti West, which is good, but all of the delays and the behind the scenes rumors do not give me hope.
"The Strangers 2" begins filming in September. Any ideas for a subtitle? How about "The Strangers 2: Even Strangier".
Man sues Apple and the FBI for allegedly colluding with the Mob in an attempt to force him to be a model. Sounds like an airtight case to me.
Woman shoots husband, uses the old "I was trying to release demons from his crotch defense". Ahhhhh yes, THAT defense, it's the first thing they teach you at law school.
This guy holds the record for witnessing the most executions in history. I bet he gets a lot of chicks.
1981: In Milwaukee, George Carlin is arrested for obscenity and disorderly conduct for performing his "Seven Dirty Words" routine in front of a group of wheelchair-bound children. He is released after posting $150 bail.
"Eureka" took a few months off from the Syfy channel last year but a whole hell of a lot of crap happened before it did. Henry became mayor, Allison discovered she's preggers by her dead ex-husband, Eve Thorne flew the coup and probably most importantly Jack Carter got fired. So little was made of this that I was pretty sure that "Eureka" had actually been canceled, so I was happy to see that it's back with a vengeance every Friday night now.
The official website for the Del Toro-Produced "The Strain", some type of vague vampire film that we don't have a lot of details on yet. Someone let me know at what point we get annoyed that he's got 20 projects going right now but he's not currently directing anything. I always jump the gun on these things.
The teaser poster for "Sorority Row", the remake of the early 80's film "House on Sorority Row". Check it at the link.
New "True Blood" poster. Nope... still don't think Anna Paquin is attractive... sorry, guys.
A crapload of new stills from "Blood: The Last vampire". Blah Blah Blah Japanese School girl who fights vampires.
Warner Bro's snags a movie deal for the SyFy show "Primeval", which is about "ferocious prehistoric and futuristic creatures that appear through wormhole time portals, and a covert team headed by an evolutionary scientist tries to close the doors and quietly thwart the creatures". I haven't seen this show yet, but it sounds like they just mashed up every SyFy feature film ever into a TV show. Anyone a fan?
If only that guy who yelled out the now infamous line "don't tase me bro!" had a 1 year old child to block the taser with, like this lady, maybe we'd all have bought and then thrown out T-shirts with "don't tase my baby, bro!" instead.
Vinnie Jones goes to trial for assault charges stemming from a bar brawl that took place in South Dakota last year. That's so surprising. He really seemed like a big teddy bear when he was running around bashing people's heads in during "Midnight Meat Train".
College student who was growing pot in her room forgets to clean plants out when she leaves for summer. No need for a punchline on that one.
1991: Alan Cooper stands trial in England for "committing a lewd, obscene, and disgusting act on the 12-foot dolphin called Freddie as they frolicked for 20 minutes off the harbor mouth at Amble, Northumberland." Cooper responds by claiming that his accuser was a sworn enemy and had trained dolphins for a movie to jump out of the water and tear off a woman's bikini bra. He is eventually acquitted of masturbating the cetacean.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Summary: Jimm Juree was a crime reporter for the Chiang Mai Daily Mail with a somewhat eccentric family. When she is forced to follow her family to a rural village on the coast of Southern Thailand, she's convinced her career-maybe her life-is over. So when a van containing the skeletal remains of two hippies is inexplicably unearthed in a local farmer's field, Jimm is thrilled. Shortly thereafter an abbot at a local Buddhist temple is viciously murdered. Suddenly Jimm's new life becomes somewhat more promising-and a lot more deadly. And if Jimm is to unravel the inexplicable events, it will take luck, perseverance, and the help of her entire family.

DECATUR (WKZO) -- Alcohol is believed to have played a role in a crash that's left two west Michigan men severely injured. Van Buren County Sheriff's deputies were called to the scene of a one car accident in the 94000-block of 35th Street in Decatur around 2 p.m. Monday.
On arrival, the driver of the 2000 Chevy Prism, a 30-year-old white male from Vicksburg, was found lying on the ground and bleeding from the head. A passenger, a 24-year-old white male from Decatur, was trapped in the vehicle with severe leg and hip injuries. Both were suffering from cuts, bruises, and internal injuries.
Witnesses that called emergency responders told police the driver had initially asked them not to call law enforcement authorities because he was afraid to go to jail, asking them instead to just help his friend get out of the vehicle. The passenger was extricated by fire personnel and both were taken to Bronson Hospital for treatment.
Both men are expected to recover from their injuries. The case has been forwarded to the Van Buren County Prosecutor's Office for review.

The incredible story of Charlotte who was thought to be a terrorist because of her origins.
The document is an extract from a report entitled "Caught in the Backlash" from the ACLU, an association whose aim/goal is to defend individual rights.
The main character is called Charlotte Wu. She's a 22 year-old sophomore who's fond of videogames/ interested in videogames / who plays videogames all the time.
One day in late 2001, Charlotte played a videogame with her friends. Then she left the game. Later, a player phoned her and she helped him by telling him to use a bomb in the game. Then the police came to her room and interrogated her because of the call. They did not arrest her, but she wonders who alerted them.
Part 1:
We don't really learn in the text the reasons why she left the computers and went home.
– Maybe she had a date with a boy. –> She may have had a date with a boy
– Perhaps she had to go home before the dorm was closed. –> She might have had to go home before the dorm was closed.
– Maybe she wanted to finish some homework for the day after. She must have wanted to finish some homework.
– She can't have left because she was losing (since we can read she was the master of the game).
– She can't have left because the game was over (since we can read…)
Charlotte's friend phoned her because he wanted some help / tips about the game / because he was stalled/stuck. Since Charlotte is a whiz at videogames, she probably knows the game inside out / like the back of her hand and that's why she was the one to call.

Bel Marra Health, who offers high-quality, specially formulated vitamins and nutritional supplements, reports a new study revealing an association between expectant mothers' iodine levels and their child's mental abilities and test scores.
As Bel Marra Health reports in its article, (http://www.belmarrahealth.com/healthy-eating-2/is-moms-health-to-blame-for-juniors-test-scores/), most pregnant women and women in their child-bearing years are already aware that a healthy diet should consist of fruits, vegetables and minerals such as calcium. However, the importance of trace minerals like iodine is rarely spoken about. Doctors know that severe iodine deficiency during pregnancy can cause mental disabilities in children; but new research now shows that even milder iodine deficiencies during pregnancy can lead to significant effects on children's mental development.
Iodine is necessary for proper thyroid function; however iodine is not produced by the body. Therefore, it must be obtained from the diet. Current recommendations by Dietitians of Canada state that adults should consume a minimum of 150 mcg of iodine per day, pregnant women should consume a minimum of 220 mcg per day, and breast-feeding women should consume a minimum of 290 mcg per day.
Iodine can be found in dairy foods (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc.), certain fruit and vegetables (sea vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, strawberries, etc.), and some types of fish (cod, haddock and tuna). However, the primary source of iodine for most of us is ionized table salt. A healthy route to obtaining sufficient iodine is through food sources and modest salt intake.
Kristen Hynes, from the University of Tasmania, conducted a study that evaluated 228 pregnant patients from The Royal Hobart Hospital between 1999 and 2001. The women were divided into two groups – patients with urinary iodine levels below 150 mcg (mildly deficient) and patients with urinary iodine levels above 150 mcg (normal). Educational assessment data from the Australian national curriculum and Tasmanian state curriculum evaluated the children born to these women, 9 years after birth.
The children that were born from mildly iodine-deficient mothers scored, on average, 371 points on the national spelling test and 377 points on the grammar test. Conversely, the children of women who had sufficient iodine levels scored significantly higher – specifically, 412 points on the spelling test and 408 points on the grammar test, on average. In addition, children that were born to women who were mildly iodine deficient scored approximately 6 percent lower on English literacy tests compared to children that were born to women who had sufficient iodine levels.
The research indicates a definitive relationship between mild iodine deficiency during pregnancy and poorer test scores in children born to these women. These results fall in line with other studies that have shown that iodine deficiency interferes with auditory pathways in young brains. This interference affects the child's ability to process verbal information, as well as other forms of auditory stimulation.
While this research may leave expectant mothers questioning whether they should take an iodine supplement during pregnancy, it's important to remember that too much of this mineral is not a healthy either. The safe maximum limit for healthy adults and for pregnant women is 1,100mcg.
Excessive consumption of iodine can lead to thyroid dysfunction and/or goiter. In addition to an overall healthy diet, Doctors at Bel Marra Health recommend adding in a few extra portions of iodine-rich dairy foods, fish and sea vegetables to your diet, to help ensure healthy and sufficient levels of iodine intake.
