Dear FSB: My wife and I are owners of a small, incorporated business. We are the sole officers of the corporation. Will we come out ahead financially by removing ourselves from the corporate payroll (i.e., avoiding the corporate payroll taxes) and paying ourselves strictly by way of dividends?
The state's African-American constituency remains strongly in Obama's camp. But is the candidate taking them for granted?
Dear FSB: I began a business about two years ago and I didn't make any money, so I left it alone. Do I need to close it out somewhere? How should I file the taxes for it?
Dear FSB: I have grown my business - I sell lingerie and fit bras - for three years, from a corner shop to a larger retail space. Bras are the most important part of my business. The problem is that my store is in a suburb outside Indianapolis and foot traffic is slow. Should I relocate to the city?

A friendly bit of advice for the hoards of Bruins, Jayhawks, Tar Heels and Tigers fans and others who might be contemplating a trek to San Antonio this weekend: Unless you're holding a ticket already, don't go. Take it from a frequent visitor -- save yourself the effort this one time.

The final chapter of the 2008 NFL combine was written Tuesday afternoon when the last group of defensive backs walked off the turf at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis. Now that the measurements have been recorded, the 40s have been run and the interviews completed, teams will digest the players who impressed and those who did not. Here's a quick overview of the headliners from this year.
INDIANAPOLIS -- The offensive linemen were the first to take to the field at the RCA Dome on Saturday morning and most of the top prospects chose to workout. There were a number of outstanding performances turned in from early first round selections as well as middle round choices.
On a cold and snowy day in Indianapolis, the long, bitter and divisive IndyCar "Cold War" has come to an end, ironically with the stroke of a pen in Chicago and not the "World Capital of Auto Racing" in Indianapolis.
More than 325 of the top prospects available in April's NFL draft descend upon Indianapolis this week for the annual combine. The coaching staffs, scouting departments and medical staffs from the league's 32 teams will join them. Over the course of six days teams will test the players physically, mentally and medically. Here's a look at the players who have a lot hanging in the balance.
RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- I've got opinions about Spygate, the best receiver you never appreciated enough and the ridiculously challenging schedule of Myron Cope's favorite team. All in due time. First, I take you to the lobby of the Renaissance Hotel here, a few long spirals from Giants Stadium, to meet a man you're going to get to know very well over the next few years.
This week's deadly shooting at Northern Illinois University leaves police, campus officials and students with many unanswered questions.
With the scouting combine less than a week away from cranking to life in Indianapolis, the start of the NFL's full-blown draft season is almost at hand. Here's our second attempt to mock out the April 26 first round, replete with an early change at the top, where Virginia defensive end Chris Long is now projected as Miami's No. 1 overall pick, ahead of LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey. But keep an eye on Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan, who may still find himself headed for the Dolphins before all is said and done. (Feel free to send comments to siwriters@simail.com.)

Open the Mailbag boasting about how clean tennis is, and look at what you get: "As the NBA grapples with a betting scandal, tennis must now confront a potential gambling scam of its own. Officials on Friday were investigating suspicious betting patterns on a match involving top-seeded Nikolay Davydenko of Russia, who retired with an injury against a low-ranked opponent at an ATP tournament in Poland." -- Jim Bartle, Huaraz, Peru
It is a fact of life in modern track and field that major events are defined as much by the athletes who are absent as by those who are present. This is the unfortunate reality that attends a sport where euphoria is attended by suspicion and fans are advised to embrace a primal and terrific game with great caution, lest they be burned for loving too much.
This Sunday marks the 91st running of the Indianapolis 500. To get you caught up on what, and who, to watch, SI.com's Tim Tuttle offers a brief primer to "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Sam Hornish Jr. wants a double dose of Indy this year.
There continues to be much talk about All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas, the first time the game was held in a neutral site, if anything about our Gomorrah can be called neutral.
Over the last several offseasons, one question has become more and more important to all 32 teams: Which free agents are legit and who are the ones who've just been fortunate to prosper in a system that maximizes their potential? I'd argue that, aside from money, it's probably the most important issue facing any general manager sifting through this year's free agent class.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Dwayne Jarrett doesn't want to hear about the inevitable Mike Williams comparisons. Joe Thomas moved quickly to distance himself from the specter of Robert Gallery. Troy Smith and Chris Leak have questioned why their lack of NFL prototypical height should have anything to do with their quarterbacking skill, and Brady Quinn seems genuinely puzzled as to why his most recent performance seems to be all anybody wants to focus on.
My serious playoff action on the road began with a lonely trip to Indianapolis and ended in the rain in Miami. Why was the Indy trip lonely? Because usually the Flaming Redhead makes these journeys with me, at least to the Championship round, but there were one-thousand-one-hundred-and-forty-eight reasons why she didn't make this one. That's right, $1,148 was what Continental Airlines wanted, round trip from Newark, when you don't book at least a week in advance.
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The big strategic issue everyone wants resolved this week, and it is actually a two-pronged question, is this: What in the world happened to the Indianapolis run defense this postseason, and will it be similarly formidable against Chicago in Super Bowl XLI?
It just makes sense that the Colts and Patriots would meet in the AFC Championship Game. Indy-New England has become the premiere rivalry of the 21st century, although it hasn't been an even one. Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has done little in the last two games to shed his label as a postseason underachiever and no one gives him more trouble than the Pats. Meanwhile, New England quarterback Tom Brady is coming off another miraculous performance in the divisional playoffs and now stands 12-1 all-time in the postseason, including 6-1 away from Foxboro.
BALTIMORE -- In one of the biggest games of his pressurized nine-year NFL career, Peyton Manning played with the cool detachment of the greatest Colt of them all, Johnny Unitas, on Saturday. It wasn't anywhere near the best game of his life, but under the circumstances -- a playoff game in the city that now lives to hate the Colts, against a Baltimore defense that was both the most feared and top-rated in the NFL this season -- it was one of the most rewarding.

Up the stairs and past the velvet rope at the Vapour Lounge not too long ago, Michael Jordan was just one of the many smartly dressed folks clinking glasses with friends on the suede couches and chairs. Three stories below, through the open atrium, a deejay spun records next to the club's dance floor and 50-foot arched ice bar. But upstairs you couldn't even think about ordering a shot. The cheapest drink on the menu was a $125 bottle of Absolut. Bottles of Dom Perignon were $300.

$67 Million Cash raised by Windrose Medical
I only just started contributing 5 percent of my income to my 401(k) this year. Since I have more than 40 years until I retire, I was advised that my investments should be moderate to high risk. So I put 80 percent of my contributions in high-risk stocks and the other 20 percent in international stocks -- in the second quarter I had a 19 percent loss. For now, I've decided to let it ride, but I can't help worrying whether my account balance is withering away to nothing. What should I do?
