Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Back to school

Yes, it’s that special time when boys and girls wave goodbye to the family, wait for the bus, then travel to meet a new instructor. Sadly, I once boarded the wrong bus and ended up at a senior citizens' basketball tournament. But that's another story. On the plus side, a new school term allows students to get reacquainted with old classmates and find out if the cafeteria still serves “mystery meat,” then guess what reptile it comes from. On the […]

Back-to-school sales tax holiday unlikely in Illinois

SPRINGFIELD (The Center Square) -- Illinois is unlikely to join the list of states that offer a “back-to-school” sales tax holiday. Sales tax holidays are periods when specific goods are exempted from state, and sometimes local, sales taxes. Many states schedule the events for August when “back-to-school” shopping largely takes place. Illinois held a one-time sales tax holiday back in 2010, but Rob Karr, president of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, said it didn’t provide the boost some expected. “It […]

What to consider with multi-generational living on the rise

Since the financial crisis of 2008 occurred, multigenerational households have increased in popularity across the United States. It’s not hard to see why. A growing number of families have serious financial considerations to tend to, including children who are heading to college and aging parents that need care. For a significant majority of the population, cohabitating with multiple generations makes the most sense.  In 2009, the last year of the Great Recession, Pew Research found that 17 percent of Americans […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Dog days

I've always wondered why they call this month "the Dog Days of August." Frankly, that puzzle hounded me. Finally, after barking up several wrong trees, I sniffed out an answer. Long, long ago (before “reality” television), ancient astronomers named a star “Sirius.” They called it the Dog Star because it was part of the constellation Canis Major (the greater dog). Sirius usually rose during July, and burned brightest during steamy late August days, when everyone sweats more than an ice […]

SEATTLE (UPI) -- Coffee brewing giant Starbucks announced Friday it will stop selling newspapers in the cafes at U.S. stores in September.

For years, the Seattle-based chain has sold physical copies of The New York Times, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal on cafe newsstands. All three will be removed. "We are always looking at what we offer our customers in our stores and making adjustments," Starbucks spokeswoman […]

CONFIRMED: IRS trains staff on finding cryptocurrency wallets

WASHINGTON (CoinDesk) -- The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may consider subpoenaing major tech companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft in search of taxpayers’ unreported cryptocurrency holdings. That’s according to a slide deck presentation from an IRS cyber training session, which details a number of ways the agency’s criminal investigators might find potential crypto tax cheats. “Issuance of a grand jury subpoena should be considered for Apple, Google and Microsoft for the subject’s complete application download history,” says the slide […]
