USC exercise science department head Dr. Teresa Moore agrees with the considered changes — to an extent. “I think it’s confusing to the consumer,” Moore said. “I think a lot of people look at just the total calories, and they don’t really go past that and look at the smaller print above that to see the actual size of the serving.” The current food labels are accurate, Moore said, but the information could be presented more clearly to consumers to reduce the amount of effort put into assessing the nutritional value of their food.

fi gures of current state tax revenue based on current taxation rates in a number of tax categories. By manipulating proposed tax changes with the tool, users can immediately see the potential impact that the change will have on the amount of tax revenue collected by the state. The tool keeps a running track of proposed changes and impacts and allows for side-by- side comparison to the baseline fi gures. “For the very fi rst time, all of you that are interested in tax policy will be able to use an objective, unbiased, neutral tool that takes the hassle of the math out of your decision-making process,” Teegen said. As an example, Teegen used the tool to demonstrate how a hypothetical decrease in the corporate tax rate from 5 percent to 4 percent would result in a $50 million negative implication for total state revenue collected from corporate taxes and fees. Teegen also said the model does not advocate any particular kind of policy change; it is a neutral tool to help policy-makers understand better and more easily the impact of the choices they might make.

Columbia gets annual Clean Sweep Saturday

Columbia’s annual Clean Sweep will be held at the State Fairgrounds Saturday. The one-day fundraiser, sponsored by the Junior League of Columbia, is the city’s ultimate garage sale — on a slightly grander scale. New and lightly used items, donated by League members, Columbia residents and local businesses, will be in the Cantey Building in the Fairgrounds. Customers will have the chance to play detective and scout out the hidden gems in the rows and piles of donated treasures. The Sweep houses everything from handbags and maternity wear to electronics and sporting goods, all at college-budget prices. Doors open at 8 a.m. and admission to the Clean Sweep is $3. Parking, through Gate 6 of the Fairgrounds, is $2. All sales are cash only.

Men’s baskeball to return home Saturday to face Georgia after 39-point defeat to Florida Kyle Heck [email protected]

Saturday can’t come fast enough for South Carolina, as they return home to take on the Georgia Bulldogs . The Gamecocks are looking to rebound from the loss to Florida Wednesday night. The Gators dominated USC in every area of the game en route to a 75-36 win. The 36 points by the Gamecocks were the fewest they have ever scored in a SEC game . The last time the Gamecocks were at Colonial Life Arena , they blew out Arkansas 75-54 . USC will face a Georgia team that is 9-11 overall, 3-4 in the SEC and averaging just 59.4 points per game , which is the 325th best average out of 345 NCAA Division I teams . If USC (12-8, 2-5 SEC) hopes to surpass its conference win total from last season on Saturday, head coach Frank Martin said they must do a better job of executing on offense. The Gamecocks shot just 31.1 percent against the Gators after shooting 57.7 percent against the Razorbacks. Martin says a good offense can also lead to improved play on the defensive side of the ball. The Gators shot 52.8 percent against USC and out-rebounded them 38-24. “Teams that are real good on offense are usually pretty good on defense because you have good offensive possessions, you don’t turn it over, you take good shots and you move the ball, which makes defense work,” Martin said during his weekly press conference. Martin has also stressed teamwork all season, and said USC will need to come together after the loss in Gainesville, Fla. . “Being a good teammate is even when you aren’t feeling good or things aren’t going your way, you owe it to your teammates, you owe it to your coaches, you owe it to the school that is paying for your schooling, to go out there and fi ght and compete to get better.” Martin said. Freshman Michael Carrera led the team against Florida, recording 13 points on 6-9 shooting to go along with nine rebounds . The rest of the USC starters combined for 15 points on 5-23 shooting. Junior guard Brian Richardson did not score against UF in three minutes of play after tying his career-high of 20 points in the win over Arkansas . Junior Bruce Ellington chipped in seven points and three assists . When the Bulldogs came to Colonial Life Jeffrey Davis / THE DAILY GAMECOCK Arena last season, the Gamecocks escaped with a Head coach Frank Martin suffered the most lopsided loss of his coaching career in Gainesville, Fla. against the Gators. 57-56 win . Guard Brenton Williams had 10 points in 17 minutes in that game . “I can tell you our guys are playing hard; our where we were at Dec. 1 or even Jan. 1 for that Martin said he hopes his team can get back to guys are trying,” Martin said. “Offensively and matter.” their strengths and continue to improve. defensively, we are leaps and bounds ahead of DG Gamecocks prepare for visit to Clemson
