...will pay those taxes? Obama's plan to target the highest earners has merit, given that almost all income gains in recent years have gone to the top 1%. But because the rich can afford good tax lawyers, there are diminishing returns to increasing their tax rates. Returning to the pre-2001 top rate of 39.6% (from 35% now) would surely bring in more money, but going much higher might not. Also, the bulk of the recent gains at the top of the income spectrum has come from huge paychecks in the financial sector--paychecks that are almost sure...
Stark's brand of distance healing is not unique. It's called telemental health - the burgeoning field of online and remotely delivered mental-health services - and while many people say they benefit from it, some experts remain unconvinced of its long-term merit. Certainly, more and more doctors and patients are taking advantage of the convenience and, in most cases, the lower cost of Web- or phone-based sessions.

The team’s first victory came at the Dartmouth Invitational, as the Crimson came in first with scores of 314 and 302. Freshman standout Christine Cho was the star that weekend, tying for the individual championship by shooting a four-over 148 on the two rounds. Harvard won the team...
...sets itself apart from the current trend flooding YouTube these days. The video is neither overly artsy nor X-rated, but is familiar enough in concept to be just that fresh breath of desert air you need (trust me, all that brown and red grows on you). Essentially, the merit of the song, with its catchy hook and earnest, personable lyrics, is what makes the video work. Seriously. So why shouldn’t these Las Vegas natives cash in on a formula tried and tested by the likes of Coldplay and U2? After all, there?...
