That night, one election commissioner told The Crimson that Driskell and Burton had exceeded their spending limit of $100. If this were true, election commission rules stipulate that they should have been immediately removed from the ballot. Candidates can only return unused campaign materials to offset fines for lesser election violations...
...offer a figure.) And the party has forbidden states to hold winner-take-all primaries, in which a candidate with only a narrow victory margin can rake in most of a state's delegates. That makes it harder for Bradley to win big, as he must do to offset Gore's built-in delegate advantage. In a wild spree of primaries and caucuses, 30 states will vote between March 7 and 14.

Edgecomb's urinary problems, painful as they are to watch, provide a small degree of comic relief, but the main source...
...time to take stock of your investment portfolio. If you've sold securities at a gain, consider weeding out some losers--offsetting taxable gains with an equal amount of losses and taking an additional $3,000 in losses against ordinary income. The first to sell are those you've held longer than a year. Long-term losses must first be applied against long-term gains. But once those have been offset, you may apply remaining long-term losses against short-term gains, allowing you to cancel a gain taxed at as much as 39.6% with a loss that should save...
