Learn more about Corporate Income Tax
Currently, federal corporate income tax rates vary from 15% to 35%. Due to loopholes and offshore headquarters, many company pay significantly less with several major corporations paying no taxes at all. Some economists argue that the tax should be abolished in place of higher taxes on certain high earning individuals and stock market transactions. See recent corporate income tax news
More stances on this issue
Taxes are a necessary evil but corporations should pay a percentage of profits with strict guidelines on what they can claim as business expenses. Corporations should be provided with incentives to reduce their Taxes by developing programs they can support or by making donations to an approved list. The biggest problem here is still government waste. Government is the real monetary problem not the corporations. 1yr ago from a Republican in Somerville, MA.
Corporate Income Tax is ludicrous. It only passes the money burden onto other people (customers and retirement plans mainly) and adds a layer of complexity and cost that is highly inefficient. It also hurts our ability to compete globally. Corporate Income Tax is a bait and switch tax that hurts everyone and only helps corporate lawyers. 1yr ago from a Republican in Wichita, KS.
Better to allow a one time limited incentive to repatriate capital parked overseas. Incentive can include must invest in US. BTW, combine this with opening up US based oil and gas (including offshore) and the resulting energy independence will have the effect of rocketing the US to untold economic success and geopolitical power. 1yr ago from a Republican in Santa Clara, CA.
We have a spend problem not a tax problem. But then too, if a company is moving their operations off-shore to avoid taxes then that should be penalized. If moved for cheaper manufacturing cost reasons then penalize that too. We should encourage domestic manufacturing and reasonable taxation. 1yr ago from a Republican in Denver, CO.
Abolish the income tax & the IRS and adopt a consumption tax w/Constitutional maximum limits that cannot be changed along with balanced budget amendment. Tax consumption--not production. 1yr ago from a Republican in Midland, TX.
Abolish the I.R.S and implament the Fair Tax. 1yr ago from a Republican in Chicago, IL.
Of course, but for those who are afraid a person may benefit unfairly by living as a corporation, keep the corporate tax and keep it at less than 10%. This does result in double taxation, but not at the unreasonable rates of today. 1yr ago from a Republican in Kennedale, TX.
Adjust to the financial success of each business. Do not lean toward helping either big or small business, since each does give people jobs, and each may perform needed things. 1yr ago from a Republican in Marion, MA.
Govt has set up taxes to curry the favor of big contributors. Corporations should pay a fair tax on earnings, but that would require loopholes to be closed and it's to simplify the rules so everyone understood. Will never happen as govt is largest employer. The more inefficient it is, the more people needed to work for them & the more people beholden on being inefficient. 1yr ago from a Republican in Carmel, IN.
Yes, let all corporations operate with zero tax liability, but require that their product or service diminish in price an equivalent of the tax so that they are not just pocketing the tax as more profit and the end consumer will see a benefit. 1yr ago from a Republican in Butler, PA.
Flat tax with no deductions would be great! OR reduce for corporations who keep the jobs here!. 1yr ago from a Republican in Saint Louis, MO.
Publicly traded corporations should pay no income tax as long as top to bottom pay is within a limited ratio and 75% of all profits are paid out in dividend to share holders. 1yr ago from a Republican in Katy, TX.
We need to be competitive internationally so we need lower taxes, but we also need to curb the obscene compensation packages for officers of corporations who for the most part are glorified managers "stealing " from the public company coffers. 1yr ago from a Republican in New Britain, CT.
Yes, to zero because corporate taxes are merely a smokescreen to hide the truth that in the end the government is taxing the individuals who own stock. 1yr ago from a Republican in Valdosta, GA.
No, but give tax breaks for hiring exclusively American citizens. 1yr ago from a Republican in Hellertown, PA.
Only for companies that do not outsource their operations. 1yr ago from a Republican in Asheville, NC.
Corporate tax rates should be lower - (fyi, the average American income tax rate is no where close to 35% - I earn over $75K per year, my Federal Income Tax rate over the past 10 years has averaged 6% against gross earnings). Every penny taxed to corporations are paid for by the end user, typically the customer/American citizen and is actually paid as a cost at a much higher rate than that actually collected by the government from the corporations. 1yr ago from a Republican in Oshtemo, MI.
No, and get rid of the loopholes, offshore headquarters, etc. If you make money, just like the individual they should pay taxes no matter who they are and from what country. 1yr ago from a Republican in Corpus Christi, TX.
Abolish corporations, our Founding Fathers made them illegal for a reason. 1yr ago from a Republican in Belle Vernon, PA.
No, but the layers of taxation of physical assets should cease. 1yr ago from a Republican in Olivet, MI.
There should be a balance here. They need to pay their share of taxes yet don't over tax them and put them out of business. If they businesses don't make enough money they will either leave the country or hire less employees. Both hurting the economy. 1yr ago from a Republican in Sun Valley, NV.
They should pay the highest bracket, also they should not be aloud to move business offshore and offshore companies that want to sell in our country should be taxed at a level high enough to make it just as desirable to by made in the U.S.A. 1yr ago from a Republican in Campbell, CA.
Yes and ALL taxes should be minimized. Our gov't officials seem to have forgotten that much of the reason for our Revolution was to throw off the yolk of oppressive gov't. 1yr ago from a Republican in Leander, TX.
Allow corporations to bring in money made from outside the US with out taxes if it is used expand and employe more Americans. 1yr ago from a Republican in Simi Valley, CA.
There should be a flat tax system but it should be kept at a reasonable level (10 percent of a workers' income and no more is what we should be working towards. Interestingly, there was a time in our nations' history in which there was no income tax. 1yr ago from a Republican in Cutten, CA.
No, but allow for credits for things like no layoffs, keeping jobs in America, and community charity. 1yr ago from a Republican in Graham, TX.
Yes, a corporation tax of 15% but only for corporations that hire exclusively in the U.S. and eliminate loopholes. 1yr ago from a Republican in Maggie Valley, NC.
Give tax breaks to small & medium businesses rather than big businesses. 1yr ago from a Republican in Florissant, MO.
Abolish US corporate tax--let states do the corporate taxing. 1yr ago from a Republican in Mukilteo, WA.
No matter what, it's an indirect tax that will be passed through to the end user of goods or services. 1yr ago from a Republican in Potwin, KS.
We are in trouble because we raised the cost of doing business in the U.S. to levels above what is cost to do whatever elsewhere. 1yr ago from a Republican in Saluda, NC.
Yes for corps that hire exclusively inthe US and if not pay the 35% and heavily penalize if they dont. 1yr ago from a Republican in Columbus, OH.
Only if the employ within the US, no outsourcing of product or employee, eliminate loopholes and pay a minimum base tax. 1yr ago from a Republican in Levittown, PA.
Yes, if the minimum wage is raised. 1yr ago from a Republican in Hoboken, NJ.
Set a flat rate of 25% for corporate with a penalty for raising prices to cover the loopholes that will be eliminated. 1yr ago from a Republican in Saint Paul, MN.
No, and they need to hold the big corporations like Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. responsible for all their cheating America out of tax money by hiding it offshore. 1yr ago from a Republican in Norwalk, CA.
All corporations doing business within the U.S. should be taxed at the highest personal income tax bracket on all revenue earned from domestic markets less expenses into domestic markets (to include dividends paid to US taxpayers as reported to the IRS by tax ID number). Foreign market transactions should be taxed only by import/export taxes, and dividends to non-US-registered taxpayers should not exempt the earnings from the Corporate Income Tax. For US-registered taxpayers who owe back-taxes, the company should issue the dividend directly to the IRS, and any remainder can be collected back by the individual by filing their annual tax return. The tax should be collected by banks on foreign electronic transactions paid to companies not registered to do business in the United States or persons without US tax ID numbers to prevent tax evasion through e-commerce, and the banks should receive a percentage of the tax collected, and foreign nationals living abroad should be able to register for US tax ID numbers and file annual tax returns in order to be taxed at their income level. 1yr ago from a Republican in Atlanta, GA.
Simplified tier system. Incentives are important but should be transparent and related to corporate productivity in the public sector (as opposed to corporate stockholder benefit). 1yr ago from a Republican in Denver, CO.
Do away with the current income tax system and replace it with a Fair Tax system based on sales. 1yr ago from a Republican in Austin, TX.
Yes, Corporate Income Tax is merely an indirect tax on the consumer. 1yr ago from a Republican in Jacksonville, FL.
No, but all corporations, foreign and domestic should be taxed only on the portion of their income earned from U.S. markets, and exemptions should be available only for dividends to U.S. taxpayers and expenses paid to other U.S.-taxable entities. 1yr ago from a Republican in Atlanta, GA.
The Supreme Court has ruled the Corporations are people when it comes to donating to political campaigns so they should pay taxes like people. Given their incomes the should be paying at the highest levels. 1yr ago from a Republican in Oklahoma City, OK.
Direct taxation was one of the causes which led to the Revolution and the reason it is expressly denied the Federal Government in the first article of the Constitution - - repeal the amendment and dismantle the IRS. 1yr ago from a Republican in Oreana, IL.
Yes, combined with an increase in personal income taxes for high tax brackets. 1yr ago from a Republican in Duncanville, TX.
Yes, but through investment initiatives which must result in technological advancement or job creation. 1yr ago from a Republican in Fort Benning, GA.
Corporations pass on the cost of doing business to their customers, including taxes. To encourage corporations to build and base their businesses in the US is to provide favorable tax rates, but eliminate the loopholes that encourage off shore "investments.". 2yr ago from a Republican in Orange Park, FL.
No, corporations should pay a minimum tax and loopholes should be eliminated that allow some corporations to pay nothing. An AMT for corporations like General Electric that pays close to zero (0%) !!!. 2yr ago from a Republican in Peabody, MA.
Tax deductions should be given to corporations who employ 100% within the America and with no a illegals and additional tax incentives should be given to those who hire Vets, disabled, and single parents. 2yr ago from a Republican in M C B H Kaneohe Bay, HI.
No, but then again private citizens should not either. Instead we should repeal the federal income tax and replace it with a simple consumption tax that would allow taxpayers to choose for themselves how much they will pay in taxes. 2yr ago from a Republican in Indianola, IA.
Yes, and all income tax rates should be reduced as to reduce the size and scope of the federal government. 2yr ago from a Republican in Tacoma, WA.

Jets owner open to Revis offers
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson says the team is open to listening to trade offers for Darrelle Revis, but adds that the star cornerback is not being shopped around.
FREE FOR ALLNow that NFL free agency is open, who is signing where? Find out in our updating blog.
Johnson tells reporters at the NFL meetings Sunday that the Jets would like to keep Revis, the subject of rampant trade rumors, ''but we're trying to make the team better. He's on the team right now.''
There has been intense speculation during the past several weeks that the Jets will try to deal Revis, who is recovering from a torn knee ligament and has one year remaining on his contract.
''We would be open to a conversation,'' Johnson said. ''But we're not actively out there beating the bushes, because he's on the team and we expect him to be on the team.''

Gov't scrambles to get Filipinos out of Syria
MANILA, Philippines—The government will further intensify the mandatory repatriation of the more than 3,000 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) still in strife-torn Syria, according to the spokesperson of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
DFA Assistant Secretary Raul Hernandez on Monday told reporters that an additional 160 OFWs would be arriving in Manila this week.
"They have been issued exit visas by the Syrian government and have safely crossed the border to Lebanon," he said, adding that "more border crossings (by Philippine nationals) will be undertaken in the coming days."
"The Syrian government has assured them of its full support and complete assistance," Hernandez said.
Hernandez said the foreign office will continue to enforce the government's mandatory repatriation program to ensure the citizens' safety.
"We've been urging our citizens in Syria to get out of harm's way and seek immediate repatriation since we raised crisis alert level 4 (in March 2011)… we continue to urge them to seek immediate repatriation for their own safety and well-being," he said.
Last Friday, 14 more OFWs were flown back to Manila, bringing the total number of repatriates to 4,567 since the civil strife in Syria began.
In a statement, the DFA warned that "the security situation in Syria continues to deteriorate."
"For assistance, they may call the Philippine Embassy in Damascus, tel. +963-11-6132626 and +963-96-8955057. Relatives of Filipinos who are still in Syria may provide the DFA with information on their present location and contact details in the Middle East nation. They may contact the DFA's 24-hour Action Center at (02) 8343333," the agency said.

Walk Away From Diabetes Risks
June 24, 2003 -- Need another reason to put your walking shoes on and hit the pavement? Walking not only lowers the risk of developing lifelong diseases like diabetes, but a new study shows it can cut the chance of dying in half for people who already have diabetes.
Regular physical activity like walking produces healthy benefits, such as reducing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and death, among the general population. In addition, several studies have shown that regular physical activity can help people who already have diabetes keep their blood sugar under control.
But researchers say less is known about the long-term health benefits of walking for people with diabetes. People with diabetes are at increased risk for a variety of conditions, such as heart disease and stroke that raise the risk of death.
Live Longer
In this study, published in the June 23 issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine, CDC researchers compared the risk of heart-related death or death from any cause among some 2,900 adults with diabetes.
They found that compared with adults who didn't walk at all, those who walked at least two hours per week had a 39% lower risk of death from any cause and a 34% lower risk of heart-related death.
People who were even more physically active and walked at least three hours a week had an even greater reduction in risk with a 54% lower risk of death from any cause and 53% lower risk of heart-related death.
Researchers say the results suggest that one death per year may be preventable for every 61 people with diabetes who walk at least two hours a week.
Best Medicine
In an editorial that accompanies the study, Frank Hu, MD, PhD, of the Harvard School of Public Health and JoAnn Manson, MD, DrPH, of the division of preventive medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, say the finding has tremendous potential for reducing the risks commonly associated with diabetes.
The benefits of a moderate amount of walking appear to be even greater than those achieved through current diabetes treatments, including tight blood pressure control, lowering cholesterol, and strict blood sugar control, they write.
"For the vast majority of the population, the benefits of walking are enormous, with little or no harm. So far, walking is probably the 'best medicine' for both prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus," they conclude.

Funeral Home Probe: Sources: State Eyeing Louis Garzone Body-Parts Allegations
By Simone Weichselbaum, Kitty Caparella & Gloria Campisi, Philadelphia Daily News
Mar. 20–THE STATE AGENCY that monitors the funeral industry is investigating the Louis Garzone Funeral Home, according to sources close to the case.
The Department of State opened its investigation on Louis Garzone's funeral parlor, on East Somerset Street near Ruth, late last week after the Daily News reported that the funeral home allegedly supplied body parts to a Fort Lee, N.J., biomedical tissue company closed by the Food and Drug Administration last month, sources said.
The Department of State licenses and inspects the estimated 1,600 Pennsylvania funeral directors and uses its State Board of Funeral Directors to monitor them.
Officially, the agency would not discuss the investigation.
"We cannot confirm or deny the receipt of a complaint or any ongoing investigation," said department spokesman Brian McDonald.
The owner of Biomedical Tissue Services Inc., his business partner and two tissue-recovery workers were charged last month by the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office with harvesting body parts without legal consent, taking tissue from cadavers in unsanitary conditions and without proper screening for disease. All four have pleaded not guilty.
Ten patients from three Philadelphia university hospitals have learned they received potentially tainted human tissue from Biomedical in recent surgeries.
Those patients, like thousands of others across the country, face testing for HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis and other diseases as part of the alleged body-snatching ring, the Brooklyn D.A.'s office said.
The Daily News reported last Thursday that a former Biomedical employee, Kevin Vickers, said he sliced into dozens of corpses lying inside Louis Garzone's funeral home during the last two months of 2004. He said that after he harvested spines, veins, tendons and bones, he brought them in plastic bags on ice to Biomedical. A source familiar with the investigation said the Louis Garzone Funeral Home had sold bodies to Biomedical since the beginning of that year.
About 30 funeral homes in New York City, Rochester, N.Y., and New Jersey, and one in Philadelphia, that may have supplied countless bodies to Biomedical, still are being investigated by the Brooklyn D.A.'s office. Vickers and two sources familiar with the investigation have indicated that the funeral home in Philadelphia is Louis Garzone's.
Garzone has not been named in the indictment, nor charged with a crime. He has declined to comment to the Daily News.
After last week's Daily News report, the medical examiner's office – which directly or indirectly sent 128 unclaimed bodies to Liberty Cremation Inc., part-owned by Louis Garzone, between 2004 and 2005 – is now reviewing its cremation policies, said office spokesman Jeff Moran.
The medical examiner's office policy of rotating the disposition of remains among three crematories and one funeral home will be reviewed by the office's new administrator, David Quain, and by deputy health commissioner Brenda Shields, both appointed last week, Moran said.
Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham would not comment on whether the D.A.'s office is investigating the funeral home, said spokeswoman Cathy Abookire.
As city and state agencies probe the body-parts scandal, or review their policies, local elected leaders said they want to know more about Louis Garzone's business.
"I want to see what the city is going to do," said Councilman Juan Ramos, D-at large. "This is horrific, ghoulish. A lot of poor people deal with that funeral home."
Councilman Frank Rizzo said he also will look into the case.
"If there is something we need to address locally, I will get the ball rolling," he said.
Both councilmen said they recently attended funerals at Louis Garzone's funeral home and have known Garzone as a neighborhood fixture.
In the meantime, families across the city who used the Louis Garzone Funeral Home, particularly in 2004, are asking questions, worried that their relatives' bodies could have been cut up.
Karen Wilson, of Bridesburg, said that since 2001, five members of her family – all of whom died of infectious diseases – were memorialized and cremated at Louis Garzone's.
The most recent Wilson-family death occurred in July 2004, when her brother-in-law died of AIDS, she said, and was cremated by Louis Garzone's employees.
"My concern was: Did he take body parts from my brother-in-law and sell it to that company, who then sold it to a hospital?" Wilson asked.
It is unknown how many body parts Biomedical allegedly bought from Garzone and on what specific dates.
The FDA and Brooklyn prosecutors have said Biomedical failed to properly screen tissue for disease.
Louis Garzone, first licensed as a funeral director in 1966, had his license renewed in November 2005. Garzone is not one of the estimated 1,000 members of the Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association, according to John Erickson, who heads the association. The group asks its members to follow its guide to "Best Practices for Organ and Tissue Donation" – how to deal with tissue-donation agencies, hospitals and the families of the donors.
"I have never seen anything like this before and I hope to never see anything like this again," said Erickson, after reading the Daily News report. "People trust funeral directors."
Under Pennsylvania law, certified funeral directors can authorize the removal only of corneas from corpses. Family consent is required.
About 90 percent of a funeral home's business stems from families who keep coming back, Erickson said.
Community confidence is the essence of a funeral director's reputation, said Janice Mannal, former chairwoman of the State Board of Funeral Directors and longtime funeral director of Robert L. Mannal Funeral Home in Frankford.
"When I am contacted by a family, I view that as a sacred trust," Mannal said. "I view [my role] as keeping their [deceased relatives' bodies] safe."
Theresa Swider said she entrusted Louis Garzone with the body of her brother, Ted, in September 2002 after he died in an Atlantic City hospital because of a severe staphylococcal infection.
Garzone picked up the body and called her the next day and said "it wasn't viewable," Swider said.
"When I went down there, I was gagged by the smell," she said.
Swider said she believed her brother's body was not refrigerated or preserved correctly. She and two other relatives filed suit against Garzone. The case was settled in 2004 for about $46,000, she said.
"I never got any answers," Swider said. "And that bothers me."

Most commercial or industrial buyers of contaminated property, and virtually all lenders at contaminated sites, require sellers to either (a) obtain a No Further Remediation letter (NFR) themselves, (b) place money in escrow in an amount necessary to pay for the projected future cost of obtaining an NFR, or (c) reduce the sales price based on the projected NFR cost. The NFR is a document in which government agencies such as the Illinois EPA confirm that that no additional remediation is necessary for the protection of human health or the environment, as long as site conditions, as verified by a professional engineer, do not change.
A new rule issued by the Illinois Pollution Control Board (IPCB) adds a requirement to NFRs. After July 15, 2013, Illinois EPA will issue an NFR only if the applicant shows that vapor from soil or groundwater is not seeping into buildings and causing an indoor inhalation health risk, a process known as "vapor intrusion." Vapor intrusion is common at old gas station sites, dry cleaners, or other properties where underground storage tanks have been located, or solvents or other volatile chemicals have been used.
At many commercial or industrial sites, the new rule will require additional cleanup or installation of vapor extraction systems to prevent indoor exposure to volatile organics. For instance, in Chicago and many surrounding suburbs using Lake Michigan water, NFR applicants rarely, if ever, are required now to remediate groundwater contamination in order to obtain an NFR. The new rule makes groundwater relevant everywhere, as contaminated groundwater may be causing vapor intrusion. To obtain an NFR under the new rule, applicants may be required to make costly expenditures to remediate groundwater. While applicants could, alternatively, obtain a NFR by installing underground systems to block vapor from entering buildings, such systems can be expensive, unsightly and in many cases must be maintained for years.
While this article addresses only the new Illinois rule, the rule reflects national and state trends to regulate vapor intrusion. Vapor intrusion is quickly becoming a mainstream environmental concern that parties must address in commercial real estate transactions at sites throughout the United States.
In 1997, the IPCB first issued remediation standards for NFRs based on risks to human health posed by environmental conditions. This program, known as TACO (Tiered Approach to Corrective Action Objectives) provides alternative remediation standards depending on, among other things, the site's use (residential or commercial/industrial), the existence of engineered barriers such as asphalt to prevent exposure, and the use of institutional controls such as groundwater use restrictions. TACO has addressed exposure of contaminants from four pathways: (a) outdoor inhalation, (b) soil ingestion, (c) groundwater ingestion and (d) dermal contact with soil.
Historically, the Illinois EPA has not, except in extreme cases, regulated volatile organics migrating from the ground into buildings and impacting indoor air quality. Recently, however, the Illinois EPA expressed concerns about "public health crises and ensuing legal and financial challenges caused by vapor intrusion exposure at sites where the indoor inhalation exposure route was not evaluated prior to the issuance of the NFR letter or its equivalent." In response to these concerns, after long delays, in March 2013, the IPCB amended the TACO rule, 35 Ill.Adm.Code 742, to add evaluation of the indoor inhalation exposure route to future NFRs.
Illinois EPA will administer the new indoor inhalation pathway in manner similar to its management of TACO's other four exposure pathways. Applicants will continue to have alternative means of satisfying NFR requirements, including: (a) three tiers (Tier 1 look up-tables, or Tier 2 and 3, based on site-specific conditions), (b) the use (residential or industrial/commercial) of the property, and (3) whether the contamination pathway can be blocked or excluded, in this case using Building Control Technologies.
Although vapor intrusion arises from volatile chemicals in soil, soil gas and groundwater, the rule regulates only soil gas and groundwater. Illinois EPA explains that scientific literature is skeptical about determining indoor inhalation risks based upon volatile chemicals in soil. Consistent with the other exposure routes, the IPCB has published tables outlining acceptable contaminant levels under Tier 1. In determining acceptable contaminant levels at specific sites under Tier 2, the IPCB employs a modification of the Johnson and Ettinger (J&E) model. Environmental experts have used the J&E model for years to predict indoor inhalation levels. The new rule explains how to use the J&E model under Tier 2 and provides guidance for Tier 3 evaluations.
Perhaps most important to the regulated community is the rule's list of acceptable Building Control Technologies (BCTs), which may be used to block or exclude the indoor inhalation pathway. Like engineered barriers, as long as the BCT's remain in place, they can, at many sites, authorize the issuance of an NFR without any remediation. The regulations describe the requirements for four acceptable BCTs: sub-slab depressurization, sub-membrane depressurization, membrane barriers and vented raised floors. The IPCB states that these technologies are all "economically reasonable and technically feasible." As with other pathways under TACO, if the concentrations of certain contaminants are substantial, or if the contamination is close to the building footprint, BCT's may not be employed as the sole remedial measure.
The new Illinois vapor intrusion rule will, at many sites, impose additional remediation obligations, which may be onerous, on the large number of parties who, practically, must obtain an NFR to transfer contaminated commercial or industrial property. NFR applicants must now address the impact of volatile organics on indoor air quality at all sites, most notably former gas stations, dry cleaners, other sites with tanks, or sites that used chlorinated solvents such as TCE and PERC.
Illinois EPA justifies the new rule on grounds that it protects the public from potential health risks due to vapor intrusion. Furthermore, according to the Illinois EPA, in issuing NFRs under the new rule, it will have determined that vapor intrusion does not pose a health threat; hence NFRs will provide site owners with expanded protection. Illinois EPA also states that the new rule will facilitate real estate transactions, as the rule relies on industry-accepted ASTM vapor intrusion standards.
In an important and positive development for the real estate community, Illinois EPA states that it has no intention of requiring most sites that have already obtained an NFR to meet the new indoor inhalation rules. Instead, Illinois EPA explains that it "would take action only if new site-specific information indicates a vapor intrusion problem." As many buyers and lending institutions will be satisfied with pre-existing NFRs, the new rule will not, as a practical matter, impose the new vapor intrusion requirements on most sites that have already secured NFRs.
Illinois EPA's fact sheet on the indoor inhalation amendments, which includes a link to the new rule, is found at http://www.epa.state.il.us/land/taco/indoor-inhalation-amendments.html. Additionally, on April 16, 2013, the United States EPA issued final draft guidance documents for conducting vapor intrusion evaluations, which can be found at http://www.epa.gov/oswer/vaporintrusion/documents/vaporIntrusion-final-guidance-20130411-reviewdraft.pdf.

In the Flex app, the metadata is loaded as xml which has very good functions for searching deep into the xml nodes. In the extjs version I have converted the xml data to json, keeping the deep hierarchical content, and am loading to an extjs Store using a json reader. I have not created a model, deeming this not necessary as the model does not add add any search functionality(?). I am looking at store.find, store.findBy which can use a function, store.findRecord etc, but these functions look very 'one-levelish'. I need to go to the 'Tabs' "node", find its child 'Tab' with 'Name' of 'Tab1', and find the value of its attribute 'Title' ... am using the description "node" but it is hierarchical json data. Am I missing store functionality that would do this, should I use the store's raw json data - does json have better search functionality, or shall I revert to brute-force javascript by looping through all the "nodes"? I was hoping to avoid looping and find a function of some kind. As always, tia
Well, what I understood from our comments is that you need a kinda storage to access your JSON data as quickly and easily as possible. JSON means JavaScript Object Notation, so it's an object!
Ok, I give you two examples. First of all, setup JSON data:
And now here we got two ways to follow:
First way: we can imagine the above JSON saved into a file called nested-json.json and we read it with a simple store. Than, we can use findBy search to find what we need:
The other way is to imagine the above JSON as an object, read directly from a raw JSON data. At this point, just use it as a javascript object:
Here's a jsfiddle to test this last one: jsfiddle
I hope to have understood what you requested. If I didn't, please let me know with an example made by yourself ;)

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J. ( TheStreet) -- The Federal Reserve's monetary policy is to keep interest rates extremely low to stimulate the economy. How low are interest rates as a result of decisions at Ben Bernanke's Fed? The average taxable money market fund pays 0.02% and two-year U.S. Treasurys yield a miniscule 0.34%. So a $1 million portfolio invested in two-year Treasurys today would generate roughly $3,400 in annual income. Even worse, those yields are pretax, so the net yield to an investor is even lower.
Making a few simple tweaks can yield a much better income stream on that same $1 million portfolio, though as always extra return comes with additional investment risk.
|Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and policies at the Fed have kept interest rates -- and yields -- low on Treasurys and cash.
The answer, and risk, lies in diversifying beyond risk-free assets such as cash or U.S. Treasurys. A good place to start is with a U.S. short-term bond mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. The Vanguard Short Term Bond ETF (BSV) yield as of June 24, according to Morningstar (MORN - Get Report), was 2.1%. This fund also has a low duration (2.6 years), so it will be less susceptible to rising interest rates than bond funds with a longer duration.Moving further out on the risk spectrum, an investor could add a U.S. intermediate bond fund such as Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND). The fund as of June 24 was yielding 3.3%. The duration of this fund is in the 4.5-year range, which means it is more sensitive to rising interest rates. World bond funds can also be added to the mix to increase yield and potentially hedge against a declining U.S. dollar. For investors willing to take on even more risk, consider adding a U.S. large-cap ETF such as Vanguard Dividend Appreciation (VIG). This ETF's dividend yield is just shy of 2% and provides additional upside in the form of capital appreciation. This fund aims to provide a quality dividend yield from strong companies by looking for companies that have increased their dividends for the past 10 years. Given the likelihood of rising interest rates, an allocation to a quality dividend-paying equity ETF makes sense. Since this is an equity-based investment, an investor is obviously subject to equity-market risk. In 2008 this fund declined roughly 27% -- vs. 37% for the S&P 500, but retirees still have to consider their stomach for risk before investing.

Have you not paid attention to current events in the last decade? In the past week? OW is protesting at the epicenter of the corporate world. Wallstreet is in the back yard of the folks who are bribing our politicians and making it impossible for the democratic process to be revealed in this country. The fact that we are coming to Snellville is not to protest anybody in Snellville in particular, but to stand by our friends and family in the larger cities and show the locals that we agree with their position.
When the Tea Party planned a rally at Gwinnett Mall 2 years ago, were they seriously thinking that anybody in the Mall would be able to give in to their demands? NO! They wanted to go there to be heard! Too bad Simon Mall had other plans and didn't allow them to protest on their property.
Nobody is trying to be cute or trendy. The folks in New York who have slept out in the cold and snow didn't think about being cute or trendy. The folks in Richmond who had their personal possessions bulldozed and slashed by the police weren't being cute or trendy. The folks in Oakland who are being gassed and shot at with rubber Bullets aren't being cute or trendy.
Shame on you for wishing harm to your fellow Americans who are merely standing up to the bullies who have been running the country for far too long. Shame on you for not realizing that this movement effects the entire country. Shame on you for labeling us second class citizens just because you disagree with our opinions.

When dealing with weights Crossfit typically has a "Mens" and "Womens" Rx weight, with the womens usually being approximately 2/3 the mens.
The question I have is when dealing with Body Weight based WODs like "Lynne" and "Linda" should the weights be subject to that scaling as well?
For example: If you have a 150lbs. man and a 150lbs. woman both doing the "Linda" WOD, would Rx weights be:
Deadlift: 225lbs.
Bench: 150lbs.
Clean: 115lbs.
Deadlift: 225lbs.
Bench: 150lbs.
Clean: 115lbs. (112.5)
Deadlift: 150lbs.
Bench: 100lbs.
Clean: 75lbs.
Thanks for the input.

Swing state: Foreclosure and Medicare issues make Lehigh Acres vote key
On Nov. 6, voters will decide whether Florida will swing Red or Blue.
The Sunshine State is the most important of the battleground states where this year's presidential election will be decided. Naples Daily News reporters and photographers have fanned out across Florida, talking to elected officials and ordinary people about their concerns, the issues that will determine how they vote, and grassroots efforts to sway the undecided.
How is the state leaning this year? This is the third in a series of online reports on Florida as a Swing State. The report publishes beginning Sunday, Oct. 7, for eight days in the Daily News.
■ Swing state: Florida the prize in determining if Obama or Romney wins White House
■ Swing state: Hillsborough County has track record of choosing presidential winner
LEHIGH ACRES _ In this sprawling community of senior citizens and the chronic unemployed, yard signs for Barack Obama and Mitt Romney aren't as common as for-sale signs.
But that doesn't mean presidential politics isn't on the collective mind of Lehigh Acres residents. They're having the same conversations about the economy, the unemployment rate and senior issues as the politicians.
And as Election Day nears, the vast bedroom community about 20 miles east of Fort Myers could be the perfect illustration for what will be on the minds of voters Nov. 6.
Dubbed the "ground zero" of the economic crisis by national media in 2009, Lee County has had its fair share of hard times over the years.
The county's jobless rate in August 2012 was 9.5 percent, down from 9.8 percent a month earlier. The dip may seem small, but compared to a year ago, when the unemployment rate was 11.5 percent, it's a move in the right direction.
It's difficult to gauge how many Lehigh residents factor into the countywide numbers, but an official at one local nonprofit said she doesn't think 2012 is as tough as 2011 was.
And while the real estate market may be on the rebound, for-sale signs still dot Lehigh's lawns and large tracts still sit vacant, overgrown and undeveloped.
Those factors — combined with a growing senior population concerned about potential changes to Medicare and Social Security — mean Lehigh Acres residents could play a pivotal role in who becomes the next president.
About 73 percent of Lehigh Acres voters turned out in 2008. The turnout was closer to 57 percent in 2004, but economic times have changed and experts said candidates need Lehigh voters to turn out again in 2012.
"When people are out of a job or lost their homes or had an economic shock, it also has a social shock to life. They don't connect to the promises, because they have already been scarred by their economic life," said Peter Bergerson, a political science professor at Florida Gulf Coast University in Estero. "They become disillusioned. They tend to lose faith in the system. The hardest thing ... is going to be to convince them they need to vote."
* * * * *
It would take a miracle for Democrats to win Lee County in November.
The county is a Republican stronghold. There hasn't been a Democrat elected to a major county office since the 1980s.
Sen. John McCain handily defeated Obama in 2008 with 147,608 votes to Obama's 119,701. In 2004, President George W. Bush trounced Sen. John Kerry with 144,176 votes to Kerry's 93,860.
That isn't stopping Democratic voters like Terrence Hampton from heading to the polls, though.
Hampton knows first-hand what it's like to be part of an ongoing discussion about the hurting middle class. He moved to Lehigh Acres last year from Atlanta, leaving behind his lawn maintenance business, and is one of thousands of Lee residents looking for work.
But finding work isn't easy, and most Lehigh Acres residents have to travel to Fort Myers or Collier County to work, something that isn't possible for many because of long commutes, the high cost of child care and rising gas prices.
Hampton tried it for a while. He worked in southern Collier for a few months, but said he didn't have enough money for gas to continue to make the daily trek.
He isn't alone, said Rae Nicely, executive director of Lehigh Community Services.
Nicely said about 28,000 people in 2011 used the agency's services, which range from a food pantry to literacy classes. That is up from about 10,000 people in 2010.
And everyone who comes through her doors is talking about how the presidential election will touch their lives, she said.
Lee County
Population: 631,330
Registered voters: 375,723 (166,624 Rep; 110,748 Dem; 98,351 other)
2008 result: 147,608, McCain; 119,701, Obama
2004 result: 144,176, Bush; 93,860, Kerry
2010 governor result: 107,460, Scott; 68,041, Sink
2008 voter turnout: 85.3 percent countywide, second-highest in state; about 73 percent in Lehigh Acres
Demographics: 70.7 percent white, not Hispanic; 8.8 percent black; 18.6 percent Hispanic
Unemployment: 9.5 percent
"You go through (the food pantry) and you can see that people are concerned about what their future is going to be," Nicely said. "You can hear them talking about it."
Hampton said he thinks about the election – and its ramifications on his family – often. He didn't vote in 2008, but plans to vote for Obama in 2012. Hampton said he thinks the president inherited a lot of the problems and isn't ready to give up on him quite yet.
"It's going to take more than one term," he said.
* * * * *
The bingo hall at the Lehigh Acres Senior Citizen Center quickly filled up on a recent Tuesday night. It's the place to go for Lehigh's senior community, and as players set up their bingo cards and wands, the room buzzed with conversation about the day's news.
For some, that means chit-chat about their grandchildren and neighbors; for others it means politics and the current state of the economy, Medicare and the upcoming election.
"I don't see that (Obama) made any changes," said Jeannie Smith, 62, of Lehigh Acres. "But I don't think either are any good. I'm voting for the lesser of two evils."
For Smith and several other regulars playing bingo, Romney is the lesser of two evils.
Smith and her husband bought land and built a house in an up-and-coming neighborhood about a decade ago. The pair decided to move to Lehigh Acres because the land was cheap and they'd be able to get a house for much less than they would have elsewhere in Southwest Florida.
Nine years later, two of her neighbors have lost their homes because they couldn't get help from their banks. Smith said her home likely has decreased in value, and both she and her husband are unemployed and on disability.
Still, that doesn't worry her — and others like Ray Zoslow — as much as what could happen to Medicare in the coming years.The president has said the 2010 health-care law improves Medicare benefits by adding better coverage for seniors with high prescription costs. Romney, on the other hand, has said he would introduce subsidies to help retirees buy private insurance or join a government plan modeled after Medicare.
"Barack Obama needs to go," 44-year-old Zoslow said. "These seniors need … all the help they can get."
* * * * *
Some signs point toward recovery in Lehigh Acres. But who is responsible for that recovery, and what role it will play in the 2012 presidential election, isn't entirely clear.
"If they were counting on the Obama administration to turn things around, that hasn't happened in Lee County," said Lee Commissioner Frank Mann, a Republican who represents Lehigh Acres.
Yet, Lee County received more than $43 million in grants from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – the $800-billion stimulus package the president touted during a 2009 visit to Fort Myers.
That money went to projects across Lee, including two multimillion-dollar grants to fix up foreclosed homes and either sell or rent them to low- or middle-class households.
There were plenty of foreclosures to choose from then. In February 2009, the month of Obama's visit, there were 1,966 foreclosure cases filed in Lee.
Three years later, there were 654 foreclosures filed in January 2012.
Romney, during a campaign stop that month in Lehigh Acres, stood in front of a foreclosed house at 2929 17th Street SW, promising to create jobs and keep more people in their homes.
Today, at the house he stood in front of, there are no political signs in the yard. Instead, it's under bank ownership and signs in the window warn against trespassing.
Here, there's no sign of the change promised by either presidential candidate.

Rummaging through some of my saved gift/high-end shopping bags for a care package, I came across my Barneys bag from the Chicago BN meet-up... Discovered an unmarked sample in there, with a distinctly Lutens purple/grey color and I seemed to recall having requested a sniff of the reformulated Feminite du Bois... It was like a birthday present a couple of months late out of the blue!
The original FdB never worked on my skin, though I recognized it as a beautifully constructed fragrance and it made me sad that I couldn't wear it. The reformulated version probably has some synthetics, but I *LOVE* how it smells on me! I must have the skin of a peasant - can't handle the real, high-end ingredients. I'm also likely to end up with a peasant's wallet adding this one to my Wish List... Ah, well. Perhaps I can manage some self-control ::running to freeze credit cards in the nearest ice tray::
Feminite du Bois notes: Ginger, cinnamon, clove, plum, peach, orange blossom, violet, cedar, sandalwood, vanilla, benzoin.
Its thought that people who hope too much will just waste their life away and never get down to doing any real work. Theyre confusing Hope with Wish, its lazy cousin... When Wish whispers, Something is just around the corner, what comes or not is never what was wished for. When Hope whispers Something is just around the corner, something always is. -- Charlie Elberson

Hi, nice to read this! I know we share some Passion about Guerlain classics. (There`s no such thing as matured Mitsouko Parfum). But this Samsara is REALLY big fun. But it needs even more time to evolve as I thought. While I can go quite liberally with all kinds of Mitsouko, Jicky, the classic masculines like HR or even Vol de Nuit - this one has a too feminine structure if not used sparingly. I used 3 little spritzes this morning and most of the day Samsara was mostly a cool, radiant, clean Jasmine. Now the Sandalwood is creeping around - excuisite! And btw. it was 25 Euros on Ebay ...

LUX BERLIN APARTMENTS are 2 design boutique apartments right on the Oderberger Strasse, one of the best-loved streets in Berlin. The Oderberger Strasse is in the hip, vibrant district of Prenzlauer Berg, bordering on artistic, cosmopolitan Mitte. It is a very lively yet very relaxed street that offers the distinctively bohemian vibe Prenzlauer Berg has been made famous for. Artsy cafés, quaint boutiques and laid back restaurants make it a favourite destination of locals and visitors alike.
LUX BERLIN APARTMENTS are former East Berlin tenement flats that have been beautifully renovated and elegantly refurbished with an eclectic mix of contemporary design furniture and vintage pieces from the 60's & 70's. They offer all mod cons and are fully equipped for short or long stays. LUX BERLIN APARTMENTS combine old-Berlin charm with modern-day comfort and offer an exclusive living environment in one of the prettiest, most vibrant neighbourhoods of Berlin.
The apartment is smart, minimalist but with everything required for staying in or eating out. The location is brilliant, above a street with bars and interesting restaurants. It is quiet and very comfortable. Be aware it is four floors up - 98 stairs! But good for you. Slight problem getting used to some of the doorsteps which were of uneven height and easy to trip up over - but once used to it - it was fine. I would recommend the apartment and location which had easy transport facilities nearby. And Berlin was great - buzzy and fun.
Excellent property in an eclectic neighbourhood close to all transportation and eating places. Lovely and helpful owner. Large apartment and comfortable beds. Would come back again on a heartbeat. Thank you.
I stayed in Lux Berlin 1 for 8 nights in February 2015 and absolutely loved my stay in this apartment. It is a beautiful apartment containing everything needed for a comfortable visit, including a full kitchen and cooking supplies. It is a convenient, close walk to public transit as well as supermarkets, including an organic grocery store. It is quiet in the apartment despite being close to neighborhood restaurants and the apartment temperature was perfectly comfortable during a winter stay. I traveled by myself and felt safe in the neighborhood and in this apartment complex. Lena continuously provided excellent customer service by responding immediately with my initial inquiries and met me when I arrived. I would highly recommend this apartment and appreciate Lena's help and communication.
We stayed in Lena's lovely apartment for 5 nights. The apartment is just beautiful and had everything that we required. The bed is huge and extremely comfortable, all the furnishing are very trendy!
The apartment is located in an area packed full with cafes, restaurants and great little shops. It was really easy to get around using the various forms of public transport, or walking most places as we did! We all slept so well at night as it was very quiet in the apartment.
Lena provided great information and was very welcoming on our arrival. We hope to return for another visit in the near future.
We spent a great week in Berlin, in a nice apartment, comfortable and enjoyable. Well located in a nice neighborhood and a few minutes from public transport, it was perfect for visiting Berlin. In summary, we loved the place.
Lena wasn't free to meet us when we arrived, but her boyfriend, Lars, was there and was very helpful and welcoming.
We were pleasantly pleased with the apartment. The photos are accurate, and the place was very clean and tidy. Lena was very thoughtful to make sure we had everything we needed - lots of information on things to do in Berlin, coffee, fruit, and manuals on all electric equipment. There is more than enough space for two or three people.
The location is also fantastic. Very easy access to the tram, but quiet enough at night. Close to the Mauerpark market and lots of shops and restaurants.
Lastly, I was catching a flight out of Berlin at 6am and Lena was kind enough to call ahead for a taxi for me. She was thoughtful and helpful throughout my stay.
All in all, I feel very lucky to have found this apartment. I whole-heartedly recommend it!
Thanks again Lena and Lars!
The Oderberger Strasse, often called the 'hippest' street in Berlin, is a beautiful, wide street right on the limits of Mitte & Prenzlauer Berg. The apartments are located between the Kastanienallee with its myriads of bars, restaurants and coffee shops -among which the renowned Prater, Berlin's oldest beer garden- and the Mauerpark with its very popular Sunday flea market. The entertainment complex of the Kulturbrauerei is just around the corner, as well as the Kollwitzplatz with its fine wining and dining (and, of course, shopping). Berlin landmarks such as the TV Tower or the Museum Island are a leisurely stroll. This is an ideal base for exploring Berlin: right in the heart of the city but quieter than touristic Mitte and charming day or night.

A Baltimore Catechism for the New Atheists
By QUINE
Updated: Mon, 06 Aug 2012 13:04:07 UTC
The Catholic-supporting blog, First Things, has today put up an essay by Edward T. Oakes titled: A Baltimore Catechism for the New Atheists.
This piece starts out with a serious mischaracterization of the book "A Universe From Nothing" by Lawrence Krauss, and then goes on to strawman the positions of many of those involved in the so called "New Atheist" movement. I have written about the distinction between "physical nothing" and "metaphysical nothing" on a previous discussion thread here at RDnet, but would be interested to hear the thoughts of others re the vast collection of other strawmen piled together to be burnt at the stake by Mr. Oakes.

North Harbour shocked Canterbury 22-19 in Albany with Dan Carter failing to impress.
Carter proved his fitness in club rugby last weekend but still looked rusty in this New Zealand Cup fixture.
Stuff.co.nz's Marc Hinton reports that Carter came through 64 minutes' work, if not impressively, certainly solidly.
He slotted five of his six shots at goal and even landed one long-range attempt from near halfway.
According to Hinton, it was a mixed bag of a night out of hand for the No 10. He kicked a lot, but much of it was off the mark. He also made one bad handling error midway through the second half, grassing a fairly regulation reception that may have hastened his replacement in the 64th minute.
'It was good. I really enjoyed it out there,' Carter told Sky TV afterwards. 'They were tough conditions, and it was tough going at times, but just to be back playing was awesome.
'I've got no qualms with the Achilles either playing or training – and that's the main thing.'
New Zealand Cup results:
Tasman 9 Taranaki 21
Bay of Plenty 19 Northland 14
Wellington 22 Otago 19 (Ranfurly Shield)
North Harbour 22 Canterbury 19
