Virginia Tech gains an unfair edge by not collecting meals tax on campus and doing so would level the playing field and help the town of Blacksburg, a grassroots group says. The members of Play Fair, Tech want to tiffany heart link bracelet impart that message as they begin a campaign to urge Tech to collect the tax. Blacksburg restaurants charge a 6 percent tax for meals purchases. The university is state property, and state code doesn't require it to collect the town's meals tax. "It's really about the fairness issue," said Michael Sutphin, a member of the group. The group formed in March, and Sutphin said the focus now is to get signatures from people in the community on a petition the group will present to Tech in August. According to the group's website, , the petition has more than 200 signatures so far. Petitions are available in various Blacksburg restaurants, some of which are listed on the site. Sutphin said the group doesn't call for the meals tax to be applied to student meal plans, but only to cash and credit card sales at campus dining halls. "Where the law stands is the town can't compel the university to collect the tax. ... If it is collected, they would have to do it voluntarily," Town Manager Marc Verniel said earlier this year. The meals tax issue on campus has been talked about for decades by both community leaders and residents. Mayor Ron Rordam wrote letters to Tech President Charles Steger in 2009 asking for the school's cooperation in collecting the town's meals tax at its restaurants, as well as its lodging tax at the Inn at Virginia Tech. Rordam wrote that the town "is not looking to tax Virginia Tech or its employees," and the university would receive portions of the revenue generated. Earlier this year, Tech spokesman Larry Hincker said because the meals tax issue is important to town officials, "We'll continue to address it to try to resolve the concern. I just don't know if we'll be able to do what people want us to do, though." ed hardy hoodies University officials don't think state code gives Tech the authority to voluntarily collect the tax, Hincker said. Officials on both sides say they will continue to discuss the issue and explore options. They also say traditionally the town and Tech have a good working relationship. Sutphin said especially in tough economic times, the additional revenue generated by an on-campus tax would be beneficial to the town. A town of Blacksburg study showed that collecting meals tax from Tech would yield the town an additional $200,000 annually, Sutphin said. Furthermore, implementing the tax wouldn't cost Tech anything unless staff had to reprogram cash registers. Like everyone else who collects the tax, the university would get to keep 3 percent of the total tax collected, he said. fake nike shoes "This is a win-win situation for the town and the university," he said. Play Fair, Tech will hold its next meeting at 6 p.m. Aug. 2. The location has not been announced, but those interested can visit for more information.

LLOYDS Banking Group yesterday confirmed a deal to offload investments including cinema chain Vue and shirt maker TM Lewin, which were bought by HBOS in a buying spree prior to its collapse. The part-nationalised bank said it is selling about 70 per cent of the portfolio to a joint venture with private equity firm Coller Capital for [pounds]332m, valuing the assets at [pounds]480m - a "small premium" to the current market price, according to Lloyds. Lloyds, which saw shares rise slightly yesterday on the back of the disposal, has now raised more than [pounds]750m from asset sales to shore up its finances following the rescue cheap bandage Dress of HBOS and subsequent taxpayer bail out. However, it still holds the ill-fated property and housebuilding portfolio, which has also landed the group with hefty write downs since the credit crunch. The HBOS portfolio, which is said to have been up for sale since 2008, is widely blamed for many of the financial problems at HBOS, which bought the assets at the height of the market. The portfolio includes minority stakes in 40 investments covering an array of British businesses, such as Sir Terence Conran's restaurant empire D&D, gym chain David Lloyd and newsagent and convenience group Martin McColl. Coach Outlet Lloyds, which will hold a 30 per cent stake in the joint venture, confirmed Coller will retain the former HBOS team responsible for snapping up the assets, led by Graeme Shankland. A spokesman for the bank said the decision to keep them on was made by Coller for "continuity to get the best out of these assets". But it is understood Lloyds has negotiated strict terms and conditions in contracts with the former Bank of Scotland integrated finance employees over any future bonus payments. Yesterday's deal was said to enable Lloyds to realise value immediately in the assets being sold, while also taking part in any future profits from the venture through its retained stake. Coller - chosen as partner after a competitive bidding process - indicated there would not be any fire sale of the stakes. Jeremy Coller, chief investment officer of Coller, said the group would work with Lloyds to ensure the investments "get access to the resources they need to reach their full potential". wholesale sexy lingerie Analyst Bruce Packard at Seymour Pierce was critical of the deal. He said: "We would not see a disposal at a small premium to 'book value' as a positive. "Presumably the investments were written down aggressively in the first half of last year, when Lloyds took a [pounds]13.4bn impairment charge for HBOS assets which were outside the traditional Lloyds low-risk appetite."

LLOYDS TSB is set to reap a massive Olympic bonus after its [pounds]30 billion merger with HBOS. Lloyds TSB paid [pounds]80 million to become the official bank of the 2012 Games and marketing chiefs were today relishing the prospect of promoting the deal across the Halifax network. Staff were today in talks with the 2012 organising committee to approve a deal which will make the Olympic brand almost ubiquitous on the high street. tiffany silver jewelry on sale The extra coverage is likely to come at no extra cost to the bank and will be the envy of the six other "tier-one" sponsors such as adidas, British Airways and BT. Already the Olympic rings and 2012 logo can be used by Lloyds TSB and its insurance arm Scottish Widows and will be emblazoned on Halifax outlets if they take 深圳南山搬家公司 the Lloyds TSB name in a post-merger rebranding. Olympic promotions will run in thousands of former Halifax branches and Lloyds TSB will be able to aim marketing at former Halifax customers and its 70,000 extra staff. Games organising committee Locog could gain from the merger as it will have extra exposure without threatening exclusive deals with existing sponsors in other categories. Lloyds TSB is an official ticket distributor, a role also enhanced if it doubles the size of its branch network when tickets go on sale in 2011. The bank is expected to invest more in marketing programmes. http://www.wubags.com/handbags-g/ A source said: "Clearly this is good news for our sponsorship deal.
