| New York court finds pole dancing revenue can be taxed Posted: 23 Oct 2012 01:23 PM PDT ALBANY, New York (Reuters) - Pole dancers might be athletic and artistic but their performances don't qualify for tax-exempt status under New York law, a state court ruled on Tuesday. The owners of Nite Moves, an exotic dance club near Albany, New York, had sought to have pole dancing and private lap dances qualified as tax exempt since revenue collected from "dramatic or musical arts performances" is not taxable under state law. But the Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, decided against the club in a 4-3 ruling handed down on Tuesday. "Surely it was not irrational ... ... |
| Court blocks Indiana law cutting Planned Parenthood funds Posted: 23 Oct 2012 12:47 PM PDT (Reuters) - A federal appeals court has blocked Indiana from enforcing a law to cut off Medicaid funds for Planned Parenthood, a law that critics said would deprive thousands of low-income people of medical services. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ruled that Indiana had broad authority to exclude unqualified providers from its Medicaid program for the poor, but could not deny funding to a class of providers for an unrelated reason -- in this case, because Planned Parenthood clinics perform abortions. ... |
| Colorado rampage case lawyers oppose letting victims see files Posted: 23 Oct 2012 06:13 PM PDT DENVER (Reuters) - Lawyers in the murder case of accused Colorado gunman James Holmes oppose allowing victims suing the theater chain where the rampage occurred to review sealed evidence in the criminal case, court filings showed on Tuesday. Both prosecutors and defense lawyers told the judge that allowing the victims access to the investigative files while the murder case is pending would unduly complicate the process. ... |
| Michigan considers locking clean energy mandate in constitution Posted: 23 Oct 2012 04:15 PM PDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In less than two weeks, Michigan voters will decide on a hotly contested ballot initiative on whether the state should become the first in the country to enshrine a renewable energy mandate in its constitution, a move that backers say could put clean energy in the national spotlight. The measure, known as proposal 3, would require that one-quarter of the electricity produced in the state to come from renewable energy sources by 2025. Michigan, a battle ground state in the U.S. ... |
| Teenager accused in Ohio Craigslist murders says: "I was terrified" Posted: 23 Oct 2012 02:27 PM PDT AKRON, Ohio (Reuters) - A teenager accused in the killing of three men lured by a job ad on Craigslist testified on Tuesday he was shocked when he saw a man he viewed as a father figure kill the first of the victims and then terrified when the man threatened him with a knife.

"I didn't think it was real," Rafferty said in three hours of testimony. ... |
| Colorado girl's killing tied to prior botched abduction: police Posted: 23 Oct 2012 01:22 PM PDT DENVER (Reuters) - Police investigating the murder of a 10-year-old Colorado girl who was snatched as she walked to school said on Tuesday they have definitively linked her death to the botched abduction of a jogger. Jessica Ridgeway vanished October 5 on her way to school in the Denver suburb of Westminster, Colorado. Two days later, a man reported finding her backpack on a sidewalk in front of his house, six miles from where the girl disappeared. Police later confirmed that dismembered remains found at a park about 10 miles from the Ridgeway home belonged to the missing girl. ... |
| U.S. Army vehicle contracts may escape automatic budget cut axe Posted: 23 Oct 2012 11:53 AM PDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Army on Tuesday said its ground vehicle procurement programs may escape significant impact from mandatory additional budget cuts due to start taking effect in January, since most of the programs are only in the developmental phase at the moment. Scott Davis, program executive officer for the Army's ground combat systems, said most of the Army's ground vehicle programs were not multi-year agreements or large-scale production contracts, which limited the impact of across-the-board cuts. "We're sort of in a transitional phase right now. ... |

| Obama administration agrees to ease in Medicare benefit rules Posted: 23 Oct 2012 04:25 PM PDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration has agreed to relax Medicare's requirements for skilled nursing and home health care, allowing beneficiaries to qualify for benefits even if their conditions are not expected to improve, according to court documents. A proposed settlement of a national class-action lawsuit, filed October 16 in U.S. District Court in Vermont, says the government will revise its Medicare manual to make benefits available when care would only "maintain the patient's current condition or ... prevent or slow further deterioration". ... |
| Volcker group to say Illinois budget is unsustainable Posted: 23 Oct 2012 11:53 AM PDT CHICAGO (Reuters) - Illinois has dug itself into such a huge financial hole that it may not be able to provide basic services to residents or meet employee benefit obligations, according to a national task force that is due to release a report about the state's finances. The report, prepared by the nonpartisan State Budget Crisis Task Force and expected on Wednesday, will also say that the state's fiscal stress is a "serious drag" on its economic performance, a statement from the task force said. ... |
| New York lesbian couple accuses wedding venue of discrimination Posted: 23 Oct 2012 08:40 AM PDT NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York lesbian couple said they were barred from booking an upstate farm for their wedding because they are gay and filed a discrimination complaint against the venue. Melisa Erwin and Jennie McCarthy of Albany, New York, said in their complaint with the state Division of Human Rights that Liberty Ridge Farm in Schaghticoke refused to allow them to book the venue next summer after learning they were lesbians. "That's when she said, 'Now we have a problem,'" Erwin told WNYT, a local news channel. The couple could not be reached on Monday for comment. ... |
| Americans favor water recycling, but there's an "ick factor" Posted: 23 Oct 2012 09:22 AM PDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Most Americans have scant understanding about their water supply, but they are concerned about it, and believe recycling water gives the United States an advantage over other countries, a survey said on Tuesday. However, Americans are less accepting of drinking recycled wastewater in a practice known as toilet-to-tap, the survey found. With clean water growing scarce in much of the world, and with shortages possible in 36 U.S. ... |
| Nissan recalls new Altima in U.S. on loose steering bolts Posted: 23 Oct 2012 11:08 AM PDT (Reuters) - Nissan Motor Co is recalling 13,919 of its top-selling Altima sedans in the United States because bolts that may not have been tightened properly during production could fall off, increasing the risk of a crash, according to U.S. safety regulators. The Altima sedans are from the 2012 and 2013 model years and were made at the Nissan plant in Canton, Mississippi, from May 10 to July 26, Nissan North America told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. ... |

The nonpartisan research organization found that in fiscal 2010, New York residents paid 12.8 percent of their incomes in the taxes, while in Alaska, the taxes accounted for only 7 percent of incomes. In fiscal 2009, New York ranked just behind New Jersey on the high end of taxes, while Alaska was the lowest. For the entire country, state and local taxes accounted for 9. ... |

The glitch only affects 2013 Volts when owners use the delayed charging function, which allows them to program the vehicle to recharge at specific times. When the motor shuts down, the steering and brakes still work, allowing drivers to safely coast to a stop. The vehicle functions properly again after being off for two to five minutes, GM spokeswoman Michelle Malcho said. ... |
