Henderson's failures are all his own doing, led by a poor set of polices that attack his electoral heartland and a supine surrender to the Federal government's directions -- but he hasn't been helped by the loose cannons rolling around the deck of what passes for the sinking ship of state in the NT. |

* Form January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2009, Connecticut had no true estate tax exemption. An estate with $2,000,001 was taxed at "5.085% of the excess over $0." A 2008 Connecticut Department of Revenue study called this the "cliff" effect. |
* From January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2004, the gift tax also had a "cliff" effect because once the taxpayer was over the $2 million threshold, the tax was "5.085% of the excess over $0." |
The budget raises the income tax--retroactive to January 1, 2011--on individuals with taxable income over $50,000 heads of households with taxable income over $80,000, and joint filers with taxable over $100,000. It increases the number of tax brackets from three to six. It also increases the flat tax rate for trusts a... |

The budget includes a 20% surcharge on corporate income tax for the 2012 and 2013 income tax years. The bill analysis for S.B. 1239, as amended by the Senate, explains the surcharge. Currently a 10% surcharge applies, but this provision expires at the end of the 2011 income year. The surcharge for 2011 through 2013 app... |

4 What Do I Need to Start a Lunchtime Delivery Food Service? |
Most good cooks and bakers have been told at some time that "you should be selling this," but in the past, putting that idea into practice meant a head-on collision with food safety laws. Most states have now found a middle ground, passing "cottage food" laws that allow entrepreneurial cooks to sell food from home unde... |
Most cottage food laws have a few points in common. For one thing, you won't be able to sell your food product through retail stores or restaurants. You're typically limited to direct selling, either from your home, a farmers market or a nonprofit venue such as a church sale or community fundraiser. Minnesota permits s... |
You may need to obtain an appropriate business license for your jurisdiction and undergo periodic kitchen inspections, and you'll need to comply with your state's food labeling laws. You also need to complete a recognized food-safety training course and refresh your certification periodically. |
Cottage food laws typically restrict sales to foods that are considered nonhazardous or at low risk for foodborne illness. These include baked goods such as breads, biscuits and cookies, jams and jellies, and homemade pickles. Most other foods are prohibited, including meats, poultry and home-canned nonacidic vegetable... |
A good rule of thumb is that if a food requires refrigeration, freezing or precise handling to remain safe, it's probably not allowed. Check your state department of health's website for further details. |
A kitchen inspection isn't always required under cottage food laws. Instead, you'll usually be required to print a disclaimer on the food labels stating that your product was produced in a kitchen that is not inspected under state law. Even where inspections are not required, you should follow good practices such as ke... |
Another key limitation of the cottage food laws revolves around your total sales. Each state sets a ceiling on your allowable income from home-based food sales, and these vary greatly. Michigan's $20,000 annual limit and Minnesota's $18,000 are fairly typical. In Texas, where everything is proverbially bigger, the limi... |
Colorado takes a markedly different tack, allowing annual sales of up to $5,000 per individual product but placing no ceiling on total sales across all products. It's important to understand that this is not free money. It's earned income that you need to report and pay income taxes on, and you might also be required t... |
Cottage food laws are a boon to aspiring entrepreneurs, but you won't necessarily be able to make your concept work within the restrictions those laws impose. The laws are intended to provide a balance between uncomplicated entrepreneurship and public safety. If your sales volume places you squarely in competition with... |
It's often possible to rent or share a commercial kitchen on a part-time basis, so you can outsource the actual production to a commercial setting while remaining a home-based business. |

Dead Zone is looking very lively on USA Network. |
Sunday night for its second episode. |
The series premiere earned a 4.7 rating on June 17. |
Teenage talent Lewis Russell struck twice on his first-team debut for Bourne Town. |
Top scorer Zak Munton also got a double, including a penalty, at Huntingdon Town on Saturday. |
Jake Mason claimed four assists and a goal as the Wakes took their tally to eight points from four league games since Christmas. |
Boss Rob Middleton said: "We made hard work of it and Huntingdon have dramatically improved with a few signings. |
"We weren't expecting an easy game and we just weren't at it during the first half, even though we took the lead twice. |
"I was really disappointed with what we produced after setting higher standards since Boxing Day. |
"Huntingdon put us under a lot of pressure with attacking football and we were lucky to be level at half-time. |
"Their shape caused us problems so we tweaked a few things. |
"We got a reaction with the second-half performance as the players took on board what we wanted them to do. |
"We started to look more comfortable at 4-2 with 10 minutes to go but we were a bit worried again when they scored a third goal. |
"They kept coming back at us but we caught them on the break twice in the first half and right at the end. |
"Huntingdon threw everything forward and mixed it up with good football and more direct stuff. But they left themselves short at the back. |
"The changes worked for us, particularly when we were forced to bring on 19-year-old Lewis after 20 minutes as Reece Driscoll came off. |
"He showed maturity on his first-team debut. It was a bit of a gamble from our perspective because we had only seen him in training. |
"We had a chat on Thursday about his favourite position as I knew he had been playing well for the reserves. |
"Lewis is the fifth young player to go from the reserves into first-team football so far this season which is pleasing for the club." |
Bourne are back home on Saturday against St Andrews who have struck seven times in each of their last two games. |
Middleton added: "We seem to always play teams when they are improving, signing players and climbing the table!" |

Chief Financial Officer Indra Nooyi has become chief executive of PepsiCo Inc., making her the No. 2 female CEO in the Fortune 500. |
PepsiCo Inc. said Monday that Chief Financial Officer Indra Nooyi will replace Steven Reinemund as chief executive of the soft-drink and snacks company, making her the No. 2 female CEO in the Fortune 500. |
With her Oct. 1 appointment, Nooyi takes her place in an elite group of 11 female CEOs running Fortune 500 companies. Patricia Woertz at agricultural processor Archer Daniels Midland Co. ranks first. ADM is ranked 56th in the Fortune 500, while PepsiCo, the world's second-largest soft-drink company after Coca-Cola Co.,... |
"I'm very excited and at the same time very humbled," Nooyi told analysts during a conference call Monday morning. |
Nooyi said she felt fortunate to be taking over at a time when PepsiCo was in such a strong position, with solid growth across all its business units. She and Reinemund have worked closely over the past five years, and Nooyi described their relationship as one in which they complete each other's sentences. |
"Indra Nooyi is truly a star and has been working side by side with Mr. Reinemund over the past several years," Citigroup analyst Bonnie Herzog wrote. "She has been very involved with every major decision PepsiCo has made over the past five-plus years and therefore we expect this transition to be very smooth." |
Reinemund, 58, will continue as chairman of the board until his retirement in May. |
Wall Street analysts said they were surprised mainly at how early the transition is being made. |
"While we are surprised by this move, PepsiCo's deep bench gives us confidence that the strong momentum the company has delivered should continue," Morgan Stanley analyst William Pecoriello wrote. |
Shares of PepsiCo rose 62 cents, or 1 percent, to close at $63.95. |
