For all New Mexico's need for revenue in these dire times, our Legislature this year gave short shrift to an effort by Albuquerque Rep. Eleanor Chvez to tax online sales. Her bill failed to pass a single committee.
All kinds of concerns came to her colleagues' minds -- some legitimate, some downright bogus. Lots of the hemming and hawing was over enforceability: How do you track down sales to New Mexicans from faraway Internet sites? If the online merchant doesn't have a store here, what's the justification for making that company a New Mexico tax collector? And if we impose such a tax, will the Amazon.coms of the world retaliate electronically in some way or another?

Speaking of young children, the children cast in this film: Malik Hammond as "John-John," Jeremy Gumbs as "Mikey" and Khail Bryant as "[Emily]" are adorable. Union, divorced with no children, said she drew from her sister's and mother's experiences as parents stating, "No, I don't have children and I'm not even close. The children in this film all have very distinct personalities and I tried to treat them like little individuals. They (the filmmakers) actually found kids who were very natural and had not been exposed to the Hollywood life. They were so great and their reactions were so real. When we were filming the scenes in the mall with a real Christmas tree and a Santa, they wanted to see Santa just like the other kids at the mall. They were great and well-behaved.
A child's wish i...

Daniel and Andrea Raffo are married and share a career in the circus. Their talents come with different perils, however: She minds her hair while he minds his hide. Andrea is a hair hanger - she literally hang from ropes attached to her long hair. Daniel is a tiger trainer. Both come from a long line of family members who do or did the same thing they do for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Andrea, a fifth-generation circus performer, said her sisters are hair hangers and her mother, now retired, used to be a hair hanger. Yet she recalls the first time she tried to hang by her long ponytail, when she was 11 or 12, I was like, Yeah, I cant do that, she said. But you do it gradually. You learn all of the tricks from the ground, and you get used to your hair holding your bod...

The Ministers want to stay in touch with their audience, which will be wide ranging and will have all kinds of questions on their minds," said Hugh Riley, director of marketing for the Americas of the Caribbean Tourism Organization. "Young people will want to know what's in it for them, in terms of getting involved in the tourism industry back home. There will be people in the audience who are looking for investment opportunities; and perhaps to retire in the Caribbean and who are wondering how the tourism industry can touch their lives in some way," he said. Immigration and the CARICOM Single Market and Economy are topics that are likely to surface.

Members of the Utah Senate must be out of their ever-loving minds to approve relaxing liquor laws. Drinking begets disturbances of all kinds, thus creating an unsafe environment for everyone around. You don't have to be LDS to recognize that drinking generates too many tragedies. Domestic violence and the killing of the innocent by drunken drivers are just two such tragedies worth mentioning in the hope that the Utah legislators will see the error of their ways.
