...Florida is the only state that levies fines for submitting registration applications late or not at all, says Wendy Weiser of the Brennan Center for Justice at the NYU School of Law, who also represents the plaintiffs. And the LWV of Florida claims the impact of the fines could be devastating. "The League of Women Voters' entire annual budget of $80,000 would be decimated if only sixteen voter registration applications collected by its volunteers were lost in a flood, or if its volunteers took 11 days to submit the few hundred applications they often collect during...
That's apparently sufficient for now. Despite the troubles of its flagship label, and growing competition from giant mass marketers like Procter & Gamble and Avon, Lauder's revenues have been climbing at an 8% clip annually. "If the deal works, great," says Linda Bolton Weiser, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. "If it doesn't, they aren't betting the ranch."

Mattel's Fisher-Price division is already sending out its own catalog. Can Hot Wheels bumper-car birthday parties be far behind...
...Most people don't view their residence as a capital asset, but that's exactly what it is," says Andrew Pincus, a tax lawyer at the accounting firm M.R. Weiser in Edison, N.J. He doesn't endorse frequent moves. But he advises anyone contemplating an addition to think about moving instead. One of his clients did just that and figures to save a bundle. The client paid about $400,000 for his first house, which roughly doubled in value. He wanted more space but liked his neighborhood and considered building a big addition. But he soon would have been amassing...
