(NAPSA)—The next time you see a beautiful dance move on TV, you may want to consider some of the surprising people it took to put it there. For example, there’s Dr. Jennifer McCleary, who served as an on-site Doctor of Chiropractic for “Dancing With The Stars.” Everyone she treated, Dr. McCleary said, both the celebrities and the dancers, saw the value of her care and showed great appreciation. “Dancers,” she explained, “often need chiropractic care because of the wear and tear on their bodies, previous injuries and repetitive motions. The resulting conditions, however, are often the same as those of any patient: headaches, whiplash, sprains, strains, knee and ankle injuries and spinal conditions.” 2. Add steak to bowl, tossing to coat. 3. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours. 4. Preheat grill, or place a grill pan over high heat. 5. Remove steak from marinade and grill for about 5 minutes per side, until cooked through. 6. Mash avocados in a bowl and add chopped cilantro, chile and half of the lime juice to make guacamole. Set aside. 7. Transfer steak to a cutting board and thinly slice. Sprinkle remaining lime juice over steak. 8. Divide steak on King’s Hawaiian Sandwich Buns and top with guacamole and salsa. Cover with roll tops and serve. For more family-favorite recipes, visit the King’s Hawaiian Bakery website at www.kings hawaiian.com/recipes.

To treat the professional dancers, she needed “a lot of tools in her toolbox.” Dancers’ bodies are very flexible and the techniques she used had to be very specific to each person and problem. Dr. McCleary would not only help them feel better; they often gained something else, such as advice on staying well, from the interaction.

Closing A Tax Loophole That Limits Good Jobs (NAPSA)—Congress is currently considering a change in tax regulations that would support local businesses and create more jobs for people in the community. The Problem Technology seems to have gotten ahead of the country’s sales tax laws. Internet retailers say they’re exempt from collecting sales tax in states where they do not have a physical presence; states argue that sales taxes are already due on all sales and should be collected at the point of purchase. This tax loophole puts traditional, brick-and-mortar businesses—the backbone of their communities—at a distinct competitive disadvantage to remote sellers who don’t collect sales tax. This can lead to stores shutting their doors for good and jobs being lost. In the U.S., there are more than 12 million shopping center–related jobs. One out of every 11 U.S. jobs is shopping center–related and for every 100 individuals directly employed at regional shopping centers, an additional 20 to 30 are supported in the community. This means that a decrease in retail sales will have a ripple effect on other businesses that provide jobs, such as restaurants, movie theaters and gas stations. Moreover, states are losing critical funding, at a time when it is needed more than ever, for schools, law enforcement, first responders, government services and the jobs they provide. “While the Internet marketplace has rapidly expanded, tax collection for e-commerce sales More jobs might be available if Congress passes a bill to help states collect taxes they’re owed. lags woefully behind,” said William F. Fox, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Tennessee. “We urgently need a new commonsense solution for both consumers and businesses.” A Solution That’s where the Main Street Fairness Act comes in. It is expected to create a viable and equitable solution for both online and brick-and-mortar retailers. Through the Act, Congress gives states the ability to require out-of-state vendors to collect and remit sales taxes. It grants that authority particularly to states that have simplified their tax codes through the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement. Explained Michael Kercheval, president and CEO of the International Council of Shopping Centers, “The Main Street Fairness Act will give retailers a level playing field, allowing them to continue creating jobs and protecting local economies.” Learn More For more information, visit www.icsc.org/mainstreetfairness or call (202) 626-1400.
