Tax on Amazon purchases begins Saturday SACRAMENTO (AP) — Online retailer Ama- zon.com has tried to become all things to all con- sumers, but in California, it is about to take on a role it has fought against for years: tax collector. effect this weekend, comes after years of bitter back and forth between the world's largest online mall and the California Legislature over whether Internet retailers should have to charge sales tax. The two sides reached a deal in 2011 that included a one-year grace period set to end Saturday. The change, which takes The deadline has spurred at least some consumers into impulse-buying mode, making big-ticket purchases and stocking up on essen- tials before the tax collec- tion kicks in.

The looming deadline prompted San Diego artist John Purlia to finally buy that Samsung flat-screen television that had been sit- ting in his Amazon shop- ping cart for months. He also picked up four CDs, an external hard drive and an oddly decorated $17.99 kitchen cutting-board — a gag gift for his sister.

But fewer than 1 percent do, according to the Franchise Tax Board. Lawmakers have long complained that the increas- ingly popular e-retailer was depriving the state of mil- lions of dollars by refusing to charge taxes at checkout. But Amazon said it was shielded by a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prohibits states from forcing businesses without a physi- cal presence in the area to collect sales tax. looking to take advantage of this.

Each new center is expected to bring hundreds of jobs to California, where the unem- ployment rate is the third highest in the nation. The new warehouses are expected to shrink delivery times and may one day enable Amazon to offer some customers here same- day shipping, as it does in 10 U.S. cities, including Boston and Seattle. tage by carpeting the state with distribution centers. ''The irony in this is the closer Amazon gets to its customers, the more success it seems to have,'' he said. Amazon spokesman Scott Stanzel said the com- pany will continue to offer lower prices, even without the sales tax advantage, and is not worried about losing business. He would not say whether the tax deadline has affected sales. Similar fights have played out in other states, with Amazon sometimes threatening to shutter distri- bution centers to be able to continue selling tax-free goods. Now Amazon is making parallel treaties across the country, paving the way to start opening warehouses and offering faster shipping in areas where tax disputes had previously prevented the company from putting down roots. The company now collects sales taxes on orders shipped to seven states, including New York and Texas, and has agreed to start imposing levies in six more. zon's tax fight in California has allowed the company to start building a network of distribution centers.

Jerry Brown and thousands of uniformed officers from across the nation. Kenyon Youngstrom, 37, was shot Sept. 4 along Interstate 680 in Alamo.

His heart, kidneys and liver were donated to four people, including another married father of four. ''In the midst of our grief, we are comforted to know he continues to help others,'' Youngstrom's family said in a statement. His eldest son Alex, 17, made mourners at Mission Church in Vacav- ille burst into laughter with anecdotes about his father playfully tackling him at surprising moments.

''For me, most my friends and family, same- day delivery could be a big blow to our retailers down the street,'' said Butler, 32. As the tax deadline nears, Butler is stocking up on enough soap, printer ink and baby formula to last until the day he can scan a barcode in the morning and receive his toilet paper that afternoon. The brick-and-mortar stores that pushed for the ''Amazon tax'' to level the business playing field hope the changes will end the dispiriting practice of ''showrooming,'' when people browse electronics or books in a store but make their purchases online.

Calif. crane operator pulls mammoth tooth SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A wooly mam- moth tooth with its enamel still intact has been discov- ered during the excavation for a new transit center in downtown San Francisco. A crane operator came across the 10-inch-long brown, black and beige tooth on Monday while dig- ging a 200-foot hole for a piling at the Transbay Tran- sit Center. Woolly mammoths, ele- phant-like animals, roamed the San Francisco Bay area some 10 million to 15 mil- lion years ago in the Pleis- tocene era. The tooth is bro- ken in two and missing a chunk, but is otherwise in relatively good condition. fossils have been found in the Bay area, including in San Francisco, but Allen said the discovery right in the middle of downtown San Francisco as well as the tooth's surprisingly good condition are unusu- al.
