Republicans' resolve to oppose higher taxes is well established, but a growing number of conservatives are recognizing that a national online sales tax is more about leveling the playing field for brick-and-mortar retailers.
South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard is one of the Republicans seeing the light. "It's a matter of equity and fairness," he said.
The Senate, after a years-long debate, is poised to pass a bipartisan national online sales tax bill with as many as 25 GOP senators on board. They understand that the legislation will simply enforce a tax that's already on the books but seldom paid.
The House should follow suit and end local brick-and-mortar businesses' crippling 5 percent to 10 percent price disadvantage compared with Internet retailers.
California passed an online sales tax measure in 2011 that didn't go into effect until last year. Fears that it would harm business have not been realized. In fact, there was a 28 percent jump in online sales on Cyber Monday, after Thanksgiving, the biggest Internet retail business day of the year.
Only nine states — Arizona, California, Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington — collect online sales taxes. Few consumers in the remaining states realize they are legally obligated to calculate the tax on their online purchases and send it to the tax collector. State and local governments find these policies virtually impossible to enforce, and it's a borderline miracle when buyers take the time and effort to mail a check.
The federal bill is expected to raise as much as $11 billion in uncollected tax revenue that is desperately needed by states, counties and cities to provide essential services, such as keeping more teachers and police officers on the job.
Mom-and-pop online operations wouldn't be affected. The Senate legislation exempts businesses with less than $1 million a year in sales.
Internet giant Amazon supports the legislation — knowing it isn't likely to hurt sales and preferring a simpler, nationwide policy — although closer to home, eBay remains opposed.
Two decades ago it made sense to exempt online retailers from collecting sales tax on purchases. Congress wanted to spur the growth of a new form of business, and the challenge for retailers of figuring out what sales tax to charge customers from more than 7,000 jurisdictions was daunting.
Simple computer programs have eased that burden, and the online retail business is now a $230 billion industry. It no longer needs a built-in price advantage over local retailers, who are frequently fully engaged in their communities and support local charities and service organizations in meaningful ways. Nor should brick-and-mortar retailers suffer the pain of watching customers come to their showrooms, decide on a purchase and then go home and buy online.
Main Street and Internet shops should play by the same tax rules. Congress should force online retailers to calculate the required sales tax on consumer purchases and send the revenues to cash-starved states.

I didn't expect to find my history in these national parks.
Washington, DC (PRWEB) January 21, 2013
Experiencing Black History Month this February is as easy as a walk in the park… a national park, that is, says Audrey Peterman, author of "Our True Nature: Finding a Zest for Life in the National Park System," a recently published guidebook to many of America's national parks from the perspective of a Black woman.
Ms. Peterman describes the National Park System as "a collection of precious jewels spread out across our country. They are the places where history actually happened" and relates that - before visiting - she knew Valley Forge National Historic Park was where General George Washington made his heroic winter stand, "but until I visited, I had no idea that there were Americans of African, Native and Hispanic descent suffering alongside him in the Continental Army. Nor did I know that women were involved. That single piece of information has probably been more liberating to me than almost anything else in my life."
Discovering the circumstances and people who shaped the African-American experience was one of the thoughts that inspired Black historian Carter G. Woodson to establish "Negro American History Week" in 1926. It has since evolved into Black History Month, commemorated at many national park locations including the Carter G. Woodson Home National Historic Site in Washington, DC.
Ms. Peterman says the parks include the armory where abolitionist John Brown and his followers made their desperate bid to end slavery at Harper's Ferry National Historical Park in Va.; the birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the bed he slept in and the toys he played with as a child at the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site in Atlanta, Ga.; groves of 2,000 year old giant sequoia trees that "Buffalo Soldiers" (Black cavalry soldiers) protected in California's Sierra Nevada mountains at Sequoia, Kings Canyon and Yosemite National Parks; and within the "tabby cabins" built by enslaved Americans at Kingsley Plantation/Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve outside Jacksonville, Fla.
"When I began the journey of discovery that resulted in writing Our True Nature, I didn't expect to find my history in these national parks," says Ms. Peterman. "But that's what I found. Our national parks are our collective story as a people. They preserve America's most important natural, historic and cultural places, and communicate the story that every racial and ethnic group played a part in making this country what it is today."
Our True Nature is the first travel guide to the National Park System written from an African-American perspective. Ms. Peterman has traveled widely through the parks. Our True Nature is her second book about the national park experience, and she serves as a member of the board of directors of the National Parks Promotion Council.
"I've included my observations about visiting iconic national parks such as Grand Canyon, Yellowstone and Yosemite National Parks, and also described walking through the ruins of Fort Sumter National Monument in South Carolina where the first shots of the Civil War rang out, and the laboratory at Tuskegee Institute National Historic Site in Tuskegee, Ala., where Dr. George Washington Carver made his scientific breakthroughs. I share where the parks are, how to get there, where to stay, what to do, and how affordable and inspiring it is to visit them," she says.
"I truly believe the national parks have the potential to bring us together as a nation," she concludes, "They show that every racial group has contributed to our country getting to where it is today, and they inspire each of us to live up to the highest aspirations of our ancestors."
Our True Nature is available at http://www.legacyontheland.com and http://www.amazon.com.

- PHOTOS: Pictures from the president's visit
- FULL VIDEO: Watch President Obama's speech at Hyde Park Academy
- STORY: President Obama meets with Hyde Park Academy students
- STORY: State of the Union Address Full Text
- STORY: Hadiya mentioned in State of the Union
President Obama spoke at Hyde Park Academy High School, 6220 S. Stony Island, just days after his State of the Union address in which he spoke about the murder of Hadiya Pendleton just a mile from his home.
The president offered no new strategies to combat gun violence. What the audience heard Friday afternoon was mostly a pep talk to a demoralized South Side that has suffered through so many shootings and murders.
The people who heard President Obama speak agreed that the president's appearance back in his old Illinois State Senate district was long overdue.
Back in his old district, where he first won public office in 1996, Obama had plenty of hands to shake and old friends to meet, perhaps part of the explanation the event was 40 minutes late getting started.
"It is good to be home," said Obama, greeting the crowd.
The president's first order of business was gun violence and his proposed common sense firearms laws that would ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, and require more in-depth background checks on gun buyers.
"I recognize not everybody agrees with every issue," said Obama. "There are regional differences. But these proposals deserve a vote in the Congress."
Prior to his speech, Obama spent more time than had been set aside to meet with a group of teenagers, some of whom had already been in trouble.
"I had issues, too, when I was their age," said President Obama. "I just had an environment that was a little more forgiving, so when I screwed up, the consequences weren't as high as when kids on the South Side screw up."
The audience included Hyde Park Career Academy students, the families of gun violence victims, black community educators, and religious, civic, and political leaders.
The president also focused on an improved economy as a means to address violence as well as stable families.
"If we're striving with every fiber of our being, to strengthen our middle class," said Obama, "to extend ladders of opportunity for everybody who's trying as hard as they can, if we make that effort, I'm confident that we will write the nex great chapter in our American story."
The president did not mention the Jesse Jackson Jr. plea deal that came to light around the same time as his speech Friday. Obama endorsed Congressman Jackson's re-election last year.
The president departed Chicago's O'Hare Airport at about 5:30 p.m. and headed to Florida for the weekend.
Victims of violence eager to hear president's speech
Many Chicago families who have lost loved ones to gun violence were eager to hear what the president had to say about the problem.
The gathering was just a short distance away from the Kenwood park where 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was shot and killed in January.
Pendleton's mother and father were in the audience for Obama's speech.
"That's what I absolutely adore about the President and First Lady. They have hearts. And he definitely is a parent," Hadiya Pendleton's mother Cleopatra Pendleton said.
"What struck me the most was the call for the families and the communities to start doing more," Hadiya Pendleton's godfather Damon Stewart said.
Pendleton's family joined others rocked by gun violence.
Pam Bosley, the mother of Terrell Bosley who in 2006 was shot and killed in front of a church, used her face-to-face moment with the president to show him her son's photo.
"And he did look at Terrell's picture, and he said 'we're working with you'. And that really made a difference," she said.
For many, it was a moment of healing perhaps long overdue. The mother of Blair Holt, who was shot on a bus in 2007, said it is up to the community to take action now that Obama has visited.
"So many people were saying why won't the president come here? Why won't he come here? He's from here. Well, he came now. He did what he had to do, and he came. And he talked to us. Now it's up to us to do something," Annette Nance-Holt said.
One of the organizations that led the charge to get President Obama to visit Chicago is Purpose Over Pain, an organization that no one wants to be a part of, made up of parents who have lost children to gun violence.
ABC7's Leah Hope watched the president's speech alongside LaWanda Sterling. In 2010, her son Jeremiah was shot and killed while visiting Chicago from Colorado, where he had moved to get away from the violence.
Sterling was not invited to the president speech Friday, but she was glad to see some other parents were.
"If you invite every mom and dad that has lost a child, you might fill up some auditoriums, but if we can a few powerful people to make a statement so the world doesn't forget about Chicago, it makes a difference," Sterling said.
Sterling said she was glad to see the president in Chicago, but she is also a realist. She says she knows nothing will change overnight, but it is does help her to hear encouraging words and to know that she is not alone.
In three weeks, the young man accused of killing Sterling's son will go on trial.

Air Force promotes literacy among school age children
by Staff Sgt. Ian Hoachlander
Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas – Reading a book is a reward in and of itself, but that does not always persuade children to read. To help promote literacy, the Air Force Personnel Center is sponsoring an incentive reading program until March 7.
The One Page at a Time program is open to youth ages five through 13 years, who are eligible to use force support squadron facilities. This program is designed to drive youths to read books, document their literary accomplishments, and earn incentives for each level of their literary successes.
"We want to establish a lifetime desire to read with this program," said Sally Petergal, Air Force Personnel Center child and youth specialist. "We view literacy as being very important and with this program we open the door for children to develop better reading skills. Even though the program is at the halfway mark, families can still sign up for the program."
To participate in this program, families should visit their installation's Youth Programs or library. Following registration, children may create their own book lists from required reading lists at school, their installation's library, or from a list of 15,000 suggested titles located on service's website, www.afyouthprograms.com [ http://www.afyouthprograms.com/ ].
Once the child reads a book, they should have their parent, teacher or mentor sign their registration and reading log to document the child's accomplishment.
At the conclusion of the program, the incentive form and the results report should be submitted to Youth Programs no later than March 12, 2014.
"Children can earn rewards such as a light-up pen, book light and backpack depending on the number of books they read," said Petergal. "While this program helps promote literacy we just want children to have fun."

It'll soon be time for the holidays, and many local residents will receive a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal courtesy of Western Fairfax Christian Ministries (WFCM). But this nonprofit organization can't do it alone; with so many people to feed, it's counting on help from the community to complete this huge undertaking.
WFCM serves those in need in Centreville, Chantilly, Clifton, Fair Oaks and Fairfax Station. And with so many people struggling financially in these tough, economic times, more and more families are coming to WFCM for help.
"Thanks to support from the community, we were able to provide food for over 1,236 families in 2011," said Jennie Bush, WFCM's community outreach manager. "But we expect the need to be far greater this year and really need some help in meeting it."
If someone can sponsor a family with a food basket, she'll match them up with a recipient. If donors want to shop for the items for a holiday meal and put together the basket(s) or food boxes themselves, she'll give them a list of suggested items to include.
Even those unable to provide a whole basket full of food – or who just don't have the time to go shopping – can still help out by contributing supermarket gift cards in $25 or $50 amounts so families who aren't sponsored may purchase their own holiday meals.
"All families who'll be receiving baskets or gift cards have been pre-screened for eligibility," said Bush. "If there are children in the family, all of them already qualify to receive free or reduced-cost lunches at school. If a family doesn't have children, they've had to provide sufficient proof of income to document that their need is real."
To sponsor a family or families for holiday food, contact Bush at email@example.com. See WFCM'S Web site, www.wfcmva.org, to obtain a list of suggested food to include in the basket – which may also be bags or boxes.
Gift cards may be dropped off at the WFCM food pantry at 13981 Metrotech Drive in Chantilly (near Backyard Grill and Bar), Monday through Friday, between 9 a.m.-2 p.m. (No cash donations). Mail supermarket gift cards with a note saying "food basket program" to: WFCM, P.O. Box 220802, Chantilly, VA 20153.
"We'd like to receive grocery store gift cards by Saturday, Nov. 17," said Bush. "We'll be distributing cards and food to clients on Monday, Nov 19."

- Chili Lemon Olive Oil Recipe
Have ready a hot, sterilized bottle.
Pour the olive oil into a small nonreactive saucepan. Working directly over the pan, grate the zest from the lemons, letting it fall into the oil. Add the chilies and bay leaf. Clip a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan. Heat the oil over medium-low heat until the thermometer registers 200ºF, then cook at 200º to 225ºF for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Using a funnel, pour the oil into the bottle. Cover tightly and store at room temperature for up to 2 months. Makes 1 pint.
Note: To make orange-rosemary oil, substitute the zest from 1 orange for the lemon zest and 3 fresh rosemary sprigs, rinsed and patted dry, for the chilies.

In comments about the tragic Lane Bryant shooting, Elusis said:
At this point I'm really scared to hear what the late-night shows and the Interwebs will dredge up in terms of "comedy" responses.
Lots of discussion about the inevitable fat jokes followed that, and Richard Roeper — yes, as many of us have been saying, THAT Richard Roeper — even wrote about our automatic leap to that assumption. Hard to say whether he thought that specific part was paranoid or merely sad.
Unfortunately, turns out what it was is prescient.
I'm going to cut here, because the "satire" piece I'm about to link to is a fucking vile exploitation of this tragedy, and you might want to avoid it. But I want a record of it here as an example of just how HI-LARIOUS some people think a bunch of brutally murdered fat women are.
Lane Bryant unveils new plus size body bag collection just in time for store shooting.
That's this fuckstick's headline. It goes on a bit about the body bags in mock press-release style, but then we get to the real point:
"With our innovative line of new products for the morbidly obese, we aim to make people as comfortable as possible no matter how fat they become. We actually manufacture [sic] novelty sized 12x shirts and slacks, as a joke, only to see sales skyrocket. It almost seems as though we can't manufacture an outfit big enough, that someone won't actually fit into. 'Free to be me', that is the Lane Bryant promise."
Ah, see, it's funny how fat people need clothes! I mean, it's like they think they should have the same right to cover their naked bodies as thin people! Next thing you know, they're going to want to be allowed to eat in restaurants! NO MATTER HOW BIG THEY GET!
And those five women who were murdered? Well, what were they doing in a plus-size store in the first place? If they'd just learned to put down the donuts and hit the gym, they could have been in Forever 21 instead of a store that ludicrously chooses to cater to a significant demographic. (As if it's just a perfectly NORMAL thing for fat women to want clothes!) As always, whatever befalls a fatty is ultimately the fatty's fault.
And as always, whatever befalls a fatty is ultimately funny to some fucking asshole. Even being the victim of a mass murder.
You know what the worst part is? There probably is a real need for more plus-size body bags. And it is not remotely funny.

Japan disasters drive U.S. sales of disaster kits
The earthquake, tsunami and nuclear calamity in Japan jolted Americans, who now are snapping up disaster kits.
Backpacks and other containers packed with three days' worth of food and water, blankets, first aid and other supplies are selling quickly at both stores and Internet locations.
"We've just been crazy the last week," said Delois Stinson, owner of Utah-based Survival Solutions, where sales have nearly quadrupled since the Japan quake. "Any major thing anywhere around the world, it gets people thinking and realizing they need to have some supplies."
The Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends that people keep a kit with supplies for each family member for three days, in case help cannot arrive following a disaster or attack. It should contain water, nonperishable food, a manual can opener, a first aid kit, a flashlight and extra batteries, a whistle, a battery-powered or hand crank radio, a dust mask, plastic sheeting and duct tape, garbage bags for sanitation needs, a wrench or pliers to turn off utilities, local maps and a cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger.
States prone to earthquakes and hurricanes, like California, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana also have encouraged residents to keep emergency supplies on hand.
A catastrophe at the level of the one in Japan has motivated people all over the country to purchase kits, several online sellers said. In addition, they said, businesses are buying supplies for workers.
Since the Japan disasters, California-based American Family Safety has sold as many as 200 kits to businesses, said owner Michael Baruch. Those customers include Fortune 500 companies, banks and two U.S. embassies that are located overseas. Baruch declined to say where those embassies are located.
Businesses typically buy either a large cache of supplies for all their workers, Baruch said, or individual packs for each worker. Those contain a light stick, thermal blanket, rations of food and water, a respirator mask and whistle.
Sales of individual kits at American Family Safety are up about 500 percent, Baruch said.
"Most of them just said, 'I've been thinking about this a long time, we've had a wakeup call, now is as good a time as any,'" Baruch said of the recent customers.
At the earthquakestore.com, an online store based in a Los Angeles suburb, kits are back-ordered two weeks. At Custom Safety Ltd., a shop in Victoria, British Columbia, "they're lined up at the front door," said owner Richard Clarke.
Victoria sits in the "Pacific Ring of Fire," a horseshoe in the Pacific Ocean Basin where the majority of the world's earthquakes and volcanoes occur. Japan also sits in the area.
"Every minute there's a sale going through," Clarke said.
The city of 350,000 tends to be prepared, he said, but many were updating kits they already had. He has also sold to about 200 to 300 businesses, he said, and Canada's Department of National Defence.
All of the shops said they are sold out of one item: potassium iodine tablets, which can be taken to mitigate the effects of nuclear radiation exposure.

Another difficult day for CU Buffs at NCAA women's golf championship
Playing for the first time in a NCAA Women's Golf Championship, 10th-ranked Colorado may be showing its lack of experience in handling the pressure and the surroundings.
On Thursday at the Vanderbilt Legends Club in suburban Nashville, Tenn., Colorado shot its worst round of the tournament, 305, and after the morning wave the Buffs sat in 17th place at 900.
In college golf it's usually not a good sign when the score of one of a team's top players is thrown out, and that's what happened to the Buffs. Senior Jess Wallace, a national top-100 player, recorded seven bogeys and a double bogey and shot an 8-over-par 80.
Making matters worse, CU's No. 1 player, sophomore Alex Stewart, shot 79.
The Buffs also counted a 76 from senior Emily Talley, 76 from Kristin Coleman and 74 from Jenny Coleman. The Coleman twins are sophomores.

Subscribe To The Avengers: Age Of Ultron Confirms Aaron Taylor-Johnson As Quicksilver Updates
I've already subscribed
After what must have been months of negotiations, The Avengers: Age of Utron appears to have found the actor it wants to play Quicksilver - and it's the only actor who we've ever heard about being up for the part. The Wrap is now reporting that Aaron Taylor-Johnson - who was first rumored for the part back in June - has signed a deal and is now attached to play the speedy superhero in the Avengers sequel. According to the latest report, the biggest thing holding up negotiations was the need for the actor to work out his promotional schedule for next year's Godzilla reboot. Now that that situation has been sorted Taylor-Johnson will be ready to suit up.
For those unfamiliar with the Quicksilver character from the comics, he is actually the mutant son of Magneto (from the X-Men movies) and has the ability to run at superhuman speeds. He is often found paired with his sister Scarlet Witch, who is also set to appear in The Age of Ultron, but the production has not yet officially settled on an actress to play her (Elizabeth Olsen is seen as the frontrunner for the part). Because of contract deals with 20th Century Fox, the origin story for Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch from the comics will need to be altered slightly, as Marvel Studios doesn't have the rights to say that the characters are either Magneto's children or even mutants (meaning that writer/director Joss Whedon will have to come up with some kind of clever idea to explain their powers).
Taylor-Johnson has opened up about the role in the past, and in August he told Total Film all about his approach to the role and how he pitched his take on the character. Said the actor,
"I always thought it'd be quite funny if you saw him eating loads and people asked him why and he'd explain it's because he's burning so much energy all the time. Or ideas that you'd see him come back round - but he's already nipped out and got his lunch somewhere else. He just got bored - his attention span is so fucking quick."
The star does have some comic book movie experience, having starred as the title character in both Kick-Ass and Kick-Ass 2, but obviously this new material will be a horse of a completely different color. Do you think that Taylor-Johnson is a good pick for the part? Are you upset that he's already been a superhero character before - even if it was a character without any superpowers? Tell us your thoughts on the casting in the comments section below!
