FISCAL YEAR: The 12-month period government uses for collecting taxes, appropriating spending, and otherwise tabulating its budget. A government's fiscal year need not be identical to the standard January to December calendar year. The fiscal year used by the U.S. Federal government, for example, runs from October through September. State and local governments often have fiscal years running from July through June. For most governments, the fiscal year is self-contained spending period. The revenue appropriated to a government agency needs to be spent during the fiscal year.

GREEN LOGIGUIN
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who seeks a balance in everything that you do. Family and friends want you to settle their disputes and conflicts, and rightfully so. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time strolling around a discount warehouse buying club hoping to buy either a replacement nozzle for your shower or a decorative windchime with plastic . Be on the lookout for letters from the Internal Revenue Service. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter H, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 135818. Your preferred shopping venue is strip malls. Your special symbol is the equal sign (=).
Is this You?
As a Green Logiguin, you seek a balance in life and your market activities. You are logical and reasonable, always seeking to weigh costs and benefits, pros and cons, ups and downs, ins and outs, goods and bads. You are the embodiment of yin and yang. You know that there are two sides to every story and every market exchange. Sometimes you buy. Sometimes you sell. You search out the best deals, with the highest quality and lowest price.
This isn't me! What am I?

Stealing A Few Moments For CRIMELike most consumers, workers, and taxpayers, I engage in market exchanges for a lot of stuff -- food, labor, shelter, entertainment, confectionery products. But as I wandered through the peaceful community of Shady Valley, U. S. of A., I entered a "market" that I would have rather avoided. That's right, as the title indicates, I exchange some crime. I was mugged -- relieved of several valuable possessions -- right in front of the Shady Valley police station. I did the selling and my mugger did the "buying." While my part in the exchange was involuntary, the mugger's part was quite voluntary. In fact, the perpetrator of this crime acted much like any consumer headed to Natural Ned's Nursery and Garden Center in search of a creeping juniper. Let's see why?
