“The Internal
Revenue Service said
in a report released Wednesday afternoon that average effective tax
rates — the percentage a taxpayer actually pays after deductions and other
breaks — fell for every income group above $500,000. The decreases were largest
for the top category, households with income exceeding $10 million. The average
rate fell for that group to 20.7% from 22.4% in 2009.”
“But DesJarlais said he is not the same man
who supported his first wife's decision to have two abortions. The
physician-turned-congressman said he also deeply regrets sexual relationships
with multiple women, including two patients, three co-workers and a drug
company representative while he was chief of staff at Grandview Medical Center
in Jasper.”

is already looking to places like London, Rotterdam, Hamburg and Tokyo, where
sea walls, levees and wetlands, flood plains and floating city blocks have been
conceived.”
“Denied the

tracks any cross-border movements.”
