ST.
Womens Jerome Bettis Jersey . LOUIS --
Attorneys for the St. Louis Rams have filed a tax appeal with the state of
Missouri, seeking a refund of about $400,000. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
reports that the Rams have also asked the state to forgive an additional
$445,000 in unpaid taxes. So far, the state has refused to give any money back
to the NFL team. The Rams have contested tax assessments before -- theyve filed
six appeals since 2008, amounting to $4.7 million at face value. Theres no way
to tell what happened with each case, but the Missouri Department of Revenue
says four of the cases were settled. The state would not offer details, claiming
that sales tax receipts are closed records. A message seeking comment from the
Rams on Thursday was not returned. The Post-Dispatch reported that the appeals
began after a state audit in September 2008, when the Rams were told that the
team owed nearly $1.4 million in unpaid taxes on luxury club memberships. The
Rams protested that assessment -- the first of the six appeals. "Some people are
just a little more aggressive in trying to diminish their state tax bills," said
Henry Ordower, a tax law professor at Saint Louis University. He said appeals
have been more common in recent years because states have sought ways to
increase their tax collection. "Every state has been more assertive in
collecting state taxes," Ordower said. "States need money." The Rams collect
about 4 per cent in state sales tax, 4.5 per cent in city sales tax and an
additional 5 per cent for the city amusement tax, totalling about $13.50 on a
$100 ticket. The team also sells something called a "club membership." Club
memberships add $1,000 on top of the ticket price, and members get food and
beverage discounts, entry to draft previews, training camp practices and special
events, and other benefits. In the 2008 filing, the Rams argued that club
memberships are benefits, not tickets, and shouldnt be subjected to sales taxes.
In the other appeals, the team argued it is not subject to states sales tax at
all. Then in 2011, the Rams said they discovered they were "erroneously"
calculating sales taxes on a base ticket price inflated by the city taxes. That
means the city was collecting about 40 cents too much on each $100 ticket. That
led to appeals for reimbursement of $401,000 and $445,000 over the past two
years.

after shooting a 69. SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Buffalo Sabres got the lead for a
change, and held onto it thanks to a stellar performance in goal by
Jhonas Enroth. Steve Ott scored the go-ahead goal, Enroth made 44 saves and the
Sabres beat the Florida Panthers 3-1 Friday night to win for just the second
time in 12 games and break a three-game losing streak. Rasmus Ristolainen and
Cody Hodgson also scored for Buffalo. Coming into the game, the Sabres (2-9-1)
had led for only 9 minutes, 35 seconds this season, in their game against Tampa
Bay on Oct. 8. Their other win was in a shootout against the New York Islanders
on Oct. 15. Enroth withstood a steady barrage from the Panthers, who took a
season-high 45 shots. He only stumbled once when Jesse Winchester batted the
puck out of the air in front and into the net for Floridas goal. "I think I
played a pretty perfect game . well, it was a perfect game, that goal they
scored is one out of a hundred I think, so it was a good game for me," Enroth
said. "I dont think they can do that play over again." The Sabres went ahead 2-1
at 12:42 in the third on Otts goal. Christian Ehrhoff took a shot from the point
and Ott was able to tip it past Jacob Markstrom. Hodgson scored an empty-net
goal with 47 seconds left. "That was a huge goal for us to score in the third,"
Enroth said. "Usually we give up the goal with a couple minutes left. .
Hopefully we can start building on that. This is a special feeling, winning the
game instead of losing when you play good." Markstrom stopped 18 shots in the
Panthers fifth loss in six games. The Sabres tied it 1-all on Ristolainens goal
at 13:32 of the second period. The 18-year-old rookie got his first NHL goal on
a slap shot from the right circle that got past Markstrom. "We were able to get
a couple point shots through there, that was big, and on both goals we had some
good net presence," Sabres coaach Ron Rolston said.

fortunate to get those two and the guys turned in a real good third." Besides
Ristolainen, the Sabres played three other players that are teenagers:
Mikhail Grigorenko (19) Zemgus Girgensons (19) and Nikita Zadorov (18). "Theyve
done a good job. . I like where are young guys are right now and where theyre
going and where were heading," Rolston said. The Panthers took a 1-0 lead on
Winchesters goal in the first period. Sean Bergenheim passed from the left
circle across to Winchester, who was able to tip in the puck high into the net
at 13:58 for his second goal of the season. It was Bergenheims first NHL point
since April 26, 2012, in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against
New Jersey. "It was a pretty simple play. I just drove the net and hit it out of
the air," Winchester said. "It wasnt pretty, but it was great to see Bergy get
in on it, especially so early on in the game." Bergenheim played two games in
Finland during the lockout last year, but has spent 18 months recovering from
multiple surgeries on his abdomen, groin and hip. The Panthers outshot the
Sabres 18-4 in the first period, and led in shots 34-14 at the end of the
second. "There was a lot of hard work put into the game and theres no reward at
all. Theres no points," Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said. "At the end of the
day, were all about the two points. On that one, its not a good night." NOTES:
