FIN 48-Friendly Tax Savings for Right and Left Coast Practitioners
New York and California have very lucrative location-based credits. Chances are one out of every five of your clients is eligible. This article describes how to take advantage of them.
July 12, 2007
by Chuck Swenson, CPA/PhD
New York and California have two of the most lucrative, yet underutilized Enterprise Zone (EZ) programs in the United States. Each year, the two states each give in excess of $400 million in tax benefits (see http://www.hcd.ca.gov/fa/cdbg/ez/HCD_Final_Report.pdf; and http://www.budget.state.ny.us/archive/fy0203archive/0203TaxExpend
Report.pdf). But, in my experience, these benefits could be much higher because only a fraction of companies actually take advantage of the programs. You may be able to zero out your clients' tax liabilities if you take advantage of these completely legitimate programs.
Life Is Like a Box of Chocolates
Just enter 10 California or New York client business addresses using one of the software products available (http://www.ntcgtax.com/eztrial.html) and chances are at least one of them is in a zone. Or, go to the California EZ site or New York government site and look up the addresses from a list. California has 45 large zones located in most major metropolitan areas, while New York has 73 zones with similar statewide coverage. Both states recently expanded the areas covered by these zones.
California Is the Golden State
Here are the benefits for a company locating in an EZ:
Up to a $35,000 hiring credit over five years for each qualified W-2 employee; sales-and-use tax credits of up to 8.75 percent on purchases of qualified machinery and machinery parts; lenders that make loans to Zone businesses may receive a net interest deduction; exclusion from taxation of net interest received on loans from EZ businesses; and up-front expensing of certain depreciable property. Unused tax credits can be carried forward indefinitely, and tax returns can be amended up to four years prior to claim tax benefits.
Filing requirements:
There are no pre-approval forms required. For the hiring credit, the taxpayer completes a vouchering form for each qualified employee and sends it to the local EZ coordinator before year-end. The hiring credit and other EZ benefits are claimed on Form 3805Z, which is filed with the annual California tax return.
Cashing In on the Empire State
Here are the tax benefits for New York:
NOTE: New Business Refund — Businesses new to NY are entitled to a 50 percent cash refund of unused EZ-WTC and ITC amounts. Other businesses may carry forward unused credits indefinitely.
Filing requirements
A taxpayer must be certified under Article 18-B of the General Municipal Law. This is accomplished by filing Application for Joint Certification of an Empire Zone Business Enterprise (Form EZ-1). To obtain the EZ Wage Tax Credit, complete Form CT-601 (PDF), Claim for EZ Wage Tax Credit, and file Form CT-601 along with taxpayer's NY State Income Tax Returns. For the EZ Investment Tax and Employment Incentive Credits, complete Form CT-603, Claim for EZ Investment Tax Credit and EZ Employment Incentive Credit, and file Form CT-603 along with taxpayer's NY State Income Tax Returns. For sales tax exemption, complete DTF-84, Application for Qualified Empire Zone Enterprise (QEZE) Sales Tax Certification and apply for Sales Tax Exemption number from NY State Department of Taxation within two weeks after receipt of Empire Zone Certificate of Eligibility. For the EZ Zone Capital Tax Credit, file Form Z10, Eligibility to Apply for a Zone Capital Tax Credit from Empire State Development Corporation. Attach a copy of Form Z10 to Form CT-602, Claim for EZ Capital Tax Credit, when applying for the EZ capital tax credit, and file Form Z10 & Form CT-602 along with taxpayer's NY income tax returns.
More States, Please!
Thirty-eight other states have EZ or similar location-based credits and incentives. Go to your state's economic development Web page and find out. Or, type in a client address on the EZ software mentioned at the beginning of this article; if it's in a state EZ, it will let you know.

" An historic castle on the edge of Paphos Harbour. "
Paphos is a very popular holiday resort on the west coast of the island of Cyprus. There's something here for everyone, whether you are interested in its architectural heritage, the shopping, or the many bars and restaurants, or if you feel adventurous enough to try water sports or a boat trip from the harbour then this is a place you will enjoy.
On our family holidays to Paphos, we always like to visit the harbour area and in fact do this several times.
Last year we stayed at the Ledra Beach Hotel and from there it was possible to walk to the harbour along a pathway which could cope with push chairs. It wasn't completely paved but seemed well underway. It was a hot trek in August, although if visiting outside the summer months when Cyprus is at its hottest then this would prove a pleasant walk, especially in the evening.
This year we stayed on the outskirts of Paphos and so we used the local busses to travel to the harbour. The bus service in Cyprus is quite good and reasonably priced. Most journeys cost 1.50 Euros, some are less.
Paphos Harbour is a lively, bustling area and well worth a visit.
The harbour's a great place for water activities. Along the harbour just before the restaurants you'll find the boat owners offering the best prices. It's worth haggling here. You can try scuba diving, take out a speedboat or, do as we did and hire the boat AND the driver. We decided on a half hour speedboat trip and it was a terrific experience.
Boats leave from here to take you on trips around the harbour or further out. All types of vessels- a pirate ship or why not try a glass bottomed boat?
There is an abundance of gift shops and mini marts in this area. Most shops are comfortably air conditioned and in the summer its worth shopping just to enjoy the cool air blowing through these shops. They sell everything here, with gift shops displaying souvenirs, postcards, swimwear, and beach shoes, and much more. There are sweet shops, leather shops, and a good choice of jewellers. The stores are varied with the usual gift shop to the more upmarket.
Paphos is a place of contrast because, as with its shops, there are also modern cafes and restaurants, while others remain more traditional. You can try Greek fare, Italian, Chines or Indian. There is, though not necessarily a good thing, a Macdonald's and a pizza hut, but they are not right on the harbour, thank goodness!
The owners of the many restaurants along the harbour will vie for your custom, offering free carafes of wine or a discount. You are spoilt for choice. Many are so keen to entice you into their restaurant, or to one of their outside tables, that they will often create something for you. Most have vegetarian options such as veggie moussaka or risottos, pizzas and omelettes. The meat dishes are wide in choice and if you like sea food well, as this is the harbour you really are spoilt for choice. Service is good as the competition is fierce, although everything, and everyone, seems to be in good humour.
This is a wonderful place to dine of an evening with the lights s reflecting from the boats onto the sea. The busses seem to stop around 11.30 p.m. but taxis are easy to obtain either by hailing, or they stop, or from the taxi rank near to the harbour. Please agree a price first.
Romans, Byzantines, Greeks all have their place in the history of the island of Cyprus. If you are interested in the history then you will enjoy the castle which was built in the Byzantine times to protect the harbour. The castle was reconstructed in the thirteenth century and then dismantled in 1570 by the Venetians, when the Ottoman Turks invaded the island. Part of the castle was restored in 1592. It has been used not only to keep invaders out but to keep prisoners in, when used as a prison. It has also been used, strangely as a salt store. Although this building was a protected one it suffered with the earthquake of 1953. The castle is a popular attraction for visitors to this area.
And if you would like to see the Roman mosaics then these can be seen here to, as can a Roman villa with its mosaic floor.
The harbour area has a lighthouse and an amphitheatre, which can hold over one thousand people, at its events. I think it's wonderful that this amphitheatre is still in use.
If you visit the Paphos area then I would recommend a trip to the harbour.

The first special issue, concerning thin-film photovoltaic (PV), was published in 2010. It covered progresses in first-, second-, and third-generation PV devices, respectively, including crystalline Si, CdTe, and CuInGaSe2 (GIGS), organic, and dye-sensitized solar cells that mimic natural photosynthesis. Even today, many researchers are involved to find efficient methods and materials to generate electricity in clean, renewable, sustainable, and economic way. Many of them are convinced that solar energy is able to provide valuable assistance to the world energy needs. In addition, due to apparent global economic crisis, many governments have tried to promote significant public and private investments in order to create new and more numerous jobs. In this special issue are presented scientific papers which also cover theoretical and technical aspects to encourage growth in the PV field. We wish to express our thanks to all the authors who have made this publication possible, and a brief summary of all the eighteen accepted papers is below.
In "TiO2/chitosan-NH4I(+I2)-BMII-based dye-sensitized solar cells with anthocyanin dyes extracted from black rice and red cabbage," dye -sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using anthocyanin dye and polymer electrolyte with ammonium iodide (NH4I) salt are presented. A study, taking into account different dyes, electrolytes, PH, and other parameters, is carried out. Photovoltaic performances are shown and discussed.
In "Performance of dye-sensitized solar cells with (PVDF-HFP)-KI-EC-PC electrolyte and different dye materials," a polymer electrolyte with poly(vinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene) matrix (PVDF-HFP) is used in DSSCs. The cells' performance with different dyes such as N3, anthocyanin, and chlorophyll are compared. The multidye natural mixture shows interesting conversion efficiency.
In "A convenient method for manufacturing TiO2 electrodes on titanium substrates," the possibility of developing microplasma oxidation (MPO) method to prepare TiO2 thin films, useful to achieve photoanodes for DSSCs devices, is presented. Photoelectricity properties and morphology of the films are investigated.
In "Influence of parameters of cold isostatic pressing on TiO2 films for flexible dye-sensitized solar cells," cold isostatic pressing (CIP) is used to make TiO2 working electrodes for flexible DSSCs. A study varying pressures and holding time, supported by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis, is performed on the working electrodes.
In "Indium-doped zinc oxide thin films as effective anodes of organic photovoltaic devices," indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO) thin films are prepared by low-cost ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP). The IZO films are investigated as anodes in bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, and photoelectrochemical parameters are shown.
In "Theoretical insight into the spectral characteristics of Fe(II)-based complexes for dye-sensitized solar cells—part I: polypyridyl ancillary ligands," a theoretical investigation on a series of polypyridyl Fe(II)-based complexes, as sustainable dyes for DSSCs, by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) is performed. Compared with Ru(II) sensitizers, Fe(II)-based complexes show interesting characteristics.
In "Optimization of recombination layer in the tunnel junction of amorphous silicon thin-film tandem solar cells," amorphous silicon/amorphous silicon (a-Si/a-Si) tandem solar cells are fabricated by high-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (HF-PECVD). Recombination and the intrinsic layer thickness effects, on the device performance, are investigated.
In "Three-terminal amorphous silicon solar cells," new three-terminal a-Si p-i-n/n-i-p solar cell, with low recombination rate of photogenerated carriers, is conceived. A comparison between the two-terminal a-Si p-i-n solar cell (control cell) and the former is done.
In "Characterization of nano-crystalline SiGe thin film solar cell with double graded-dead absorption layer," nanocrystalline silicon-germanium (nc-SiGe) thin films, obtained by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (HF-PECVD), are used in a silicon-based solar cell. Spectroscopic, microscopic analysis and I-V characterization of the cells are shown.
In "Effect of p-layer and i-layer properties on the electrical behaviour of advanced a-Si:H/a-SiGe:H thin film solar cell from numerical modeling prospect," a two-dimensional computer simulation in amorphous silicon band-gap for the optimization of the single-and double-junction hydrogenated amorphous silicon-germanium solar cells is presented. The electrical, photogeneration, and recombination rate behaviours are investigated.
In "Progress in thin film solar cells based on Cu2ZnSnS4," the paper reviews the wide range of techniques that have been used to deposit Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) semiconductor thin films. The performance of the thin film solar cells using the CZTS material is discussed.
In "Tailoring the composition and properties of sprayed CuSbS2 thin films by using polymeric additives," spray pyrolysis and polymeric additives, to prepare CuSbS2 thin films, are used. These are characterized by morphological and spectroscopic points of view. The polymeric additives represent a powerful tool for developing efficient n-p junctions in solid-state solar cells.
In "Preparation and characterization of coevaporated Cd1-xZnxS alloy thin films," homogenous Cd1-xZnxS thin films are prepared by the vacuum coevaporation of CdS and ZnS. Structural, composition, and optical properties are investigated. A novel Cd0.4Zn0.6S layer is introduced in the CuInS2-based solar cells.
In "Achievements and challenges of CdS/CdTe solar cells," the paper summarizes the latest research and techniques to solve the efficiency problem in CdS/CdTe photovoltaics. It is believed that these devices are good candidates for future low-cost solar cells, so new ideas are offered for further development.
In "Polarity switchable photovoltages in miscut La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 films," a potential application of the manganite film as photodetector is provided. This idea emerges from the photovoltaic effects observed in the La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 (LCMO) film and LaSrAlO4 (LSAO) substrate under pulse laser irradiation.
In "Load resistance- and voltage-tunable photovoltaic effect in tilting manganite films," the photovoltaic properties of miscut La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 films are investigated. The photoresponse depends on bias voltage (Vb) and load resistance (RS). The obtained results suggest potential optoelectronic applications.
In "Efficiency considerations and application limits of single-phase active power filter with converters for photoenergy applications," a new way of connecting PV sources to adaptive voltage active power filter (AVAPF) is compared with classic approach including active power filter (APF). Experimental results confirm expectations of increased energy transfer from additional DC source to network.
In "Charge-carrier transport in thin film solar cells: new formulation," is reported that conventional solar cells plays a major limiting role in the cell efficiency. Moreover a new formulation of the basic equations describing charge-carrier transport in the cell along with a set of boundary conditions is presented.

Fresh Green Ginger
The discovery of this ginger from the Ivory Coast was a real 'eureka' moment for Charles and Tim. Unlike any other ginger, it has an incredible lemongrass freshness to its aroma due to the oils being extracted as soon as the ginger is harvested. Charles has visited the farmers in the Ivory Coast who are cultivating this unique ginger and distilling the oils specially for Fever-Tree. Read more about his story on the 'Latest' part of the website.
2 of 5 ingredients
Nigerian Ginger
The ginger that we source from Nigeria has an aromatic intensity to it that adds depth to the ginger flavour. It perfectly complements the fresh zesty notes of the Fresh Green Ginger and the rich, chocolately notes of the ginger that we source from Cochin in South West India.
3 of 5 ingredients
Cochin Ginger
Uniquely rich and earthy, almost chocolatey in its aroma, this ginger complements the flavour notes in the Nigerian ginger and Fresh Green ginger perfectly. Cultivated by a small specialist producer in the beautiful Cochin area of India, Charles and Tim recently visited the farmers to learn more about their techniques.
4 of 5 ingredients
Natural Sugar
Unlike most mixers and soft drinks on the market today which contain saccharine or aspartame, our products are sweetened with only natural sugars. In our regular products we use cane sugar and in our Naturally Light products we use fruit sugar. These natural sweeteners create a fuller mouth-feel with none of the cloying aftertastes associated with cheaper, artificial alternatives.
5 of 5 ingredients
Soft Spring Water
We use the very best quality natural spring water from a source in rural Staffordshire. With a low mineral content, this water is very soft, thus ensuring that our drinks are subtle in their taste and clean in their finish. High carbonation is a vital component of any mixed drink which is why we carbonate our products to an exceptionally high level. By using small, perfect bubbles we have been able to create an even smoother finish to our drinks. The smaller bubbles, combined with the viscosity created by using natural sugars, means that all of our drinks stay carbonated for longer - crucial when you are mixing them with spirits.
1 of 1 cocktails
Light & Stormy
- Naturally Light Ginger Beer
- Rum
- Lime Wedge
- Fresh Ice
Pour one part rum (we would suggest 50ml) into a high ball glass that is full to the top with ice. Top with Fever-Tree Naturally Light Ginger Beer and a couple of wedges of lime which should also be squeezed into the drink.

A five-alarm fire in a historic warehouse on San Francisco's famed Fisherman's Wharf caused extensive damage March 16, forcing Saturday night restaurant and bar patrons nearby to flee the scene. The building had been undergoing renovations to convert the facility into a luxury boutique hotel and maritime museum.
In February, Kimpton Hotel and Restaurant Group, San Francisco, signed a 57-year lease with the National Park Service, owner of the Haslett Warehouse, and planned to open the 268-room Argonaut Hotel this coming December. The renovation is being designed by Kaplan McLaughlin Diaz, San Francisco, with Cahill Contractors, San Francisco, as the general contractor.
Several neighboring buildings sustained fire and water damage, including The Cannery retail and restaurant complex, that together with the warehouse, once made up the world's largest fruit cannery. On March 18, Kathleen Bertolani, Kimpton's director of public relations, said the company was evaluating the damage to the 180,000-sq.-ft. warehouse, which is estimated to be in the millions of dollars.
The warehouse renovation includes the preservation of the 95-year-old building's red brick façade, which remained standing after the fire. However, had the building not recently undergone seismic retrofitting as part of its renovation, the façade probably would have collapsed, said San Francisco Fire Chief Mario Trevino.

California Genealogy and History Archives
Sacramento County
interests of occupational employment have taken Mr. Knight into various
parts of the country and have given him a broad knowledge not only
concerning his native commonwealth of California, but also in regard to
much of the south and east. Brief sojourns in many well-known cities and
temporary association with a number of industrial and railroad
corporations have made him conversant with the opportunities afforded by
different regions and with the condition of workmen connected with
various large corporations. He was, however, connected with the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company in a larger degree than with any other
organization and for five years was engaged as foreman of the drafting
department in the company's shops at Sacramento, filling the responsible
position with an energy which is one of his characteristics and with an
intelligent comprehension of the work acquired through former
associations with similar departments elsewhere. However, in 1912 he
resigned his position to engage in mechanical engineering.
the city where he now resides Mr. Knight was born during May of 1869
into the home of Capt. William L. and Mary D. Knight. The local schools
afforded him excellent advantages in the primary and grammar department,
after which from 1880 until 1884 he studied in the public schools of
Oakland and then completed his education by a year's course in the
Spencerian Business College. His entrance into the world of industrial
activity was made as an apprentice machinist in the printing press
machine shop of Hare & Berryman, printers, at San Francisco, with
whom he continued for a year. Returning to Sacramento he engaged as an
apprentice machinist with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company and
during 1892 completed the trade in these shops, after which he went back
to the coast and for two months worked as machinist with the South San
Francisco Land Improvement Company. The five months following were spent
in San Luis Obispo, Cal., as a machinist. Upon his return to San
Francisco he took a course in mechanical drafting in a school of
engineering, where he studied for one year, later until 1896 engaging as
a machinist with the Southern Pacific Company in Oakland. Next he spent
two years as a machinist in the government employ at Mare Island Navy
yard, where he held a position in the steam engineering department.
During April of 1898 he returned to Oakland as a machinist with the
railroad company and afterward with the same company at Dunsmuir,
Siskiyou county, to work in the railroad shops at that point, where he
continued from 1900 imtil March of the next year. From March until June
he was with the Southern Pacific at Tucson, Ariz., as a machinist. The
following month was spent at Denison, Texas, as a machinist in the shops
of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railroad, and he then worked for a
similar period at Pine Bluff, Ark., as a machinist with the St. Louis
& Southwestern Railroad. The next position was at Little Rock, Ark.,
with the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad.
A brief experience concerning conditions and environment in Indiana came to Mr. Knight when for two months he worked at Lafayette, that state, as a machinist with the Chicago, Indiana & Louisville Railroad. From Indiana he traveled across the line into Ohio and secured employment as draftsman with the American Steel & Wire Company, of Cleveland, with whom he continued until December of 1902. From that time until November of 1903 he held a position as draftsman with the Baldwin Locomotive Works at Philadelphia, Pa. Returning to Ohio he became draftsman with the Columbia Chemical Company at Barberton, but in March of 1904 he decided to resign and return to the south. After spending three months in Tucson, Ariz., as machinist with the Southern Pacific Railroad, he came back to California, where he entered the Southern Pacific shops at Rocklin, Placer county. During July of 1904 he was employed at Ogden, Utah, as a machinist with the same company, but in a very short time he returned to the company's Sacramento shops, where he was employed as a machinist until November of 1905 and then entered the drafting room as a draftsman, being promoted in 1907 as foreman of the department. In 1912 he resigned to engage as a mechanical engineer, opening an office in Sacramento, where he is practicing. He is loyal to his native commonwealth and maintains an active association with the Society of California Pioneers. Politically he votes with the Republican party, fraternally holds membership with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and in religion adheres to the doctrines of the Christian Science Church.

Designed to teach youngsters about Britain's geological history, the Box Rocks Circus looks set to last for an age to come, after it secured a long-term maintenance grant.
The outdoor classroom, which features a circle of sculptures and rocks was given a Watermark conservation award from Wessex Water last week, along with a £200 grant.
Maintenance manager Keith Dispain made the presentation to the monument's creator Elizabeth Devon on Thursday, along with a class from Box Primary School.
She said: "This is amazing, we're all very grateful for the award.
"Hopefully now it will last quite a long time. We will have to put some sort of algae control on so the rocks don't turn green, but it shouldn't need too need much maintenance."
The circus was built to teach children about the development of the Earth's geology, and features a large dinosaur fossil and a different types of rock.
Ms Devon said: "Because children are so interested in rocks ands fossils, and there is often not much done in schools I just wanted to make it mroe accessible for them. I think children learn better when things are hands-on, and with the circus they can touch and climb all over it."

Thank goodness it looks okay from the outside... I felt immediate uncomfortable tightness under chin extending ear-to-ear. Since the surgery, I have had accupuncture, trigger point therapy, an MRI, an EMG, and consultations with various local plastic surgeons. No one seems to know what the problem is... I feel like I have adhesions from the surgery. If I have a sinus headache, like today, it all seems even worse. One plastic surgeon recommended gentle massage to break up scar tissue.

2 Years after Facelift and Tightness
The tightness after facelift should resolve after several months to a year. Scar bands may be injected with steroids in problematic areas for symptomatic improvement.
Tightness after facelift surgery, implants
Dear Victoria54,
- The good news is that you have nothing serious going on that would be seen on those tests
- You have ruled out infection, tumors, muscle weaknesses which is great
- Have you noticed any increased stress or changes in your diet lately? Many people commonly get sinus headaches that are not related to the sinuses, and are more related to stress levels
- If it is increased scarring, massage and maybe some steroid injections may help
Best regards,
Nima Shemirani
Tightness following facelift
One of the goals of a facelift is to lift and tighten the skin of the face and neck. In order for the results to be long lasting, tissues deeper than the skin have to be lifted and tightened. This will causes a tight feeling in the face and neck which is a sign that the proper tissues were lifted. This is an uncomfortable feeling after surgery, but the feeling will greatly improve or resolve 6-12 weeks following surgery. However, every patient heals differently, and the tightness may last longer. Massage and exercises that improve the range of motion of your neck will help to improve this tight feeling. I do not recommend these movements unless the patient cannot tolerate the tight feeling because they will loosen the tissues that were tightened for the facelift. I would recommend speaking with the surgeon who performed your procedure to determine how you may safely ease some of the tightness if it is causing you discomfort. Thank you and good luck!

Periscoping – Kas Lemmens Leftover Part
From Postland Theory via Vimeo:
The Reels film festival in France just rewarded us with an award for best am film of the year. We couldn't be more hyped and already celebrated this but to share our joy with you we decided to edit up Kas' shots that he didn't think were good enough for either of his full parts
Kas has 2 full parts: one in Periscoping and one in Random Bastard's Daggers, not a single shot is used in both productions, and the same goes for this footage.
This friday we will be premiering both films in Stockholm at the Frontline Railjam pre-party, and after that Postland will be doing screenings in Munich, Innsbruck and Zurich. For more information: facebook.com/Postland/events

Jacobson family has long-standing ties to BYU, Southlake Carroll
BURLESON — McKay Jacobson's football bloodlines run BYU blue and Southlake Carroll green.
So it's fitting that his college career will end where his high school career started.
A star receiver at Southlake Carroll during Todd Dodge's heyday, Jacobson will finish his time at Brigham Young against Tulsa on Friday in SMU's Ford Stadium.
"It's definitely a fun way for me to go out, for myself and my family," Jacobson said.
He will probably start in his final game in front of his parents, Evan and Hally, both BYU grads.
A younger sister, Jeniel, will be on the sideline in her final game as a BYU cheerleader. McKay is the third of six siblings, four of whom attended BYU.
The ties run deep in Southlake as well.
Jacobson was a standout recruit when he left Carroll — a SportsDay first-team, all-area player as a senior, at the time one of only nine receivers in state history with 200 or more catches.
Jacobson had offers from Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State — but chose BYU after coach Bronco Mendenhall's first season at the helm, a 6-6 campaign in 2005.
Mendenhall said that Jacobson was the first highly touted recruit to choose BYU during his tenure.
"He holds a special place to me just by that decision he made, and the trust he put in myself and the program early on, before we really had a record to show how we would be," Mendenhall said.
Jacobson had a big freshman season for BYU in 2006 — named the team's offensive rookie of the year — with 28 catches for 547 yards and three touchdowns.
But after taking his two-year mission trip to Sapporo, Japan, his career never took off.
This season, he was one of six players on the BYU roster with 20 or more catches. Jacobson caught 23 passes for 279 yards and a touchdown.
"Coming back, these last three years have gone by pretty fast," Jacobson said. "It's hard to quantify how much [the mission trip] really took away from me. Definitely, I was out of shape coming back, but I gave myself the best opportunity to come back."
With a few weeks off during the winter break, Jacobson was been able to watch his youngest brother, Tanner, during Southlake Carroll's undefeated run to the Class 5A Division I title. Tanner was a starting safety.
According to Evan Jacobson, when Carroll won the title, McKay and Tanner met up on the field after the game. Tanner gave his older brother a little ribbing after the win, saying this year's version was better than McKay's teams.
"Southlake's won eight state titles, and we've got four championship rings in our house," Evan Jacobson said. "We've been here for a long time … and our kids have loved it, and lived it, and have been a part of it. It's just been quite a season for our family."

The curious tale of Edward Salcedo has taken another strange turn.
Salcedo, a shortstop out of the Dominican Republic, was regarded as one of the hottest prospects coming out of last summer's international signing period, and at least one Dominican newspaper reported him signing a lucrative deal with the Indians.
But there still has been no official announcement of him reaching a deal with a major league organization. Adding to the intrigue is Major League Baseball's recent firing of three investigators in the Dominican, including one who was working on Salcedo's case.
All MLB says at this point is that it is still investigating the case of Salcedo to establish the validity of his documents and confirm that he is 16 years old. At least four international scouts, speaking anonymously, told Baseball America they believe Salcedo is older than 16.
"I've heard the rumors myself," said Ronaldo Peralta, MLB's manager for Latin American operations. "A lot of word spread around, but the truth is that we haven't finished the investigation process of his documentation. We cannot tell you if his documents are in order or not.
"When you sign a player for a lot of money, there's going to be jealousy, people spreading all kinds of rumors, but the truth is that we haven't finished, we haven't completed the process."
"I don't think there has been any confusion," said Scott Boras, who is representing Salcedo. "The information we have from everyone involved is that there's no dispute into Edward's age. There were some issues I think regarding the lineage and the number of family members and the things of that nature, but those are standard investigatory steps that they take. And it's been verified that Edward's age and documents are in fact his documents.
"The documents they we've been presented with and presented to Major League Baseball establish that he's 16 years old," Boras added. "We have not gotten any information from MLB to suggest that these documents are not in order."
The firing of three investigators by MLB has ignited the rumor mill in the international scouting community, but Peralta said the two things are not connected.
"This had nothing to do with the Salcedo case. It had nothing to do with it," Peralta said. "The Salcedo case has nothing to do with these three guys not working for us any more.
"There's a lot of jealousy. People enjoy creating these kinds of rumors and creating this mysterious atmosphere. The other two were not even close to that case."
Though no one will confirm whether Salcedo has agreed to a contract with a major league team, an investigation to verify the birth date and identification of a player from Latin America is not uncommon, especially with the potential dollars at stake.
"We do an investigation that requires us to visit the hospital where the player was born, the school record and the offices of the government agencies of the (Dominican Republic) that control the birth certificates," Peralta said. "We go to all those places, and then we do a little bit of field work, according to what we find, and we visit those places."
El Caribe, a newspaper in the Dominican Republic, reported in February that Salcedo had signed with the Indians for $2.9 million. The newspaper also featured a picture of Salcedo posing in Indians attire. Indians officials, however, have denied making any deal with Salcedo.
"The Cleveland Indians as a matter of policy and professional courtesy do not comment on players who are not members of our organization," Indians assistant general manager John Mirabelli wrote in an e-mail.
Baseball America previously reported that several sources said Salcedo had rejected a $2.5 million offer from the Giants. The Diamondbacks have also been rumored to have interest in Salcedo. That level of interest could significantly diminish if Salcedo proves to be older—perhaps significantly older.
"When a guy's older, a lot of times that changes your projections on him," said one international scouting director. "If you've got a guy doing things at a younger age, it leads you to believe that he'll improve more as he matures, but if he's older, the margin for projection is smaller."

Dogs are omnivorous animals and can obtain their needed nutrients from a variety of animal and plant foods. This is good news for fruit-loving dog owners who love sharing ripe, juicy treats with their four-legged best friends. Yet some fruits are better for dogs than others and a few are downright dangerous to feed Fido. Like any particular food, fruits should be fed in moderation and as part of a varied, nutritious diet.
Forbidden Fruits
Some fruits can cause severe illness, and even death, if fed to a dog. Avocado contains a fungicidal toxin called persin that can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. Unknown toxins in grapes and currants can cause kidney damage. And the seeds in persimmons can inflame a dog's small intestine. The dried version of any of these fruits, such as raisins or dried currants, should never be fed to a dog.
Citrus & Tropical Fruits
Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemon and lime; and tropical fruits such as pineapple and banana may spark a dog's interest. However, many dogs go no further than a sniff or a lick with citrus and tropical fruits. As similarly occurs in humans, some of these fruits may irritate a dogs' digestive system due to their acidic nature. Yet none appear on the ASPCA's list of People Foods to Avoid Feeding Your Pets.
Temperate Tree Fruits
Some dogs enjoy a bite or more of apples, pears, cherries or other temperate tree fruits. Small amounts of these fruits can be a nutritious treat or beneficial addition to a dog's regular diet. These types of fruits are best fed raw, as part of a dog's meal or as a special training snack. When introducing fruit or any new food to a dog, feed small quantities and carefully monitor your dog afterward to see how well the food is tolerated.
With all the superfruit status berries receive in the news, dog owners may be compelled to include them in their pet's diet. Berries are safe for dogs to eat. They do not show up on the Merck Veterinary Manual's list of food hazards for small animals. However, the website Pet Education advises against feeding currants to dogs, stating they have the same toxic effect on a dog's kidney function as raisins and grapes. This might refer to grape currants and not currant berries, but it's worth noting.

Attraction to Colorado grows with energy needs
Colorado's mineral reserves, from molybdenum to uranium, will become increasingly more attractive to worldwide interests as the global economy grows.
That's why, Colorado State Geologist Vince Matthews said, interest in the state's molybdenum deposits won't fade away.
When the nation needs energy and minerals, "They are not going to look to Kansas," Matthews said Wednesday to about 25 people at the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce's energy briefing.
Demand for natural gas won't fade, he said, because even with the drilling now under way in the Rockies, the United States still is importing 16 percent of the natural gas the country uses.
Increasing demand for electricity will boost demand for the state's significant uranium deposits, he said.
"Get ready," he said, for development of more than 10,000 claims filed on federal land in 2007 alone.
The only thing holding back mining is the lack of uranium mill capacity, he said. The nation has only one mill, and it's in Blanding, Utah.
Once uranium mining and production get in full swing, "We need to do it right this time," he said. "We need to not spread mill tailings all over town."
Sandy mill tailings were used frequently in building foundations and walls in Grand Junction and had to be removed in the federal uranium mill-tailings removal program.
A mill is proposed in the Paradox Basin of western Colorado, however.
To meet growing energy demand, Matthews said, competing suppliers need to work together rather than against each other.
"We need to quit the squabbling between the natural gas industry and coal," he said.

Romi Mayes Lucky Tonight
Published Apr 23, 2011
How did you come to make this album with Jay Nowicki?
We've been really good buddies for about 20 years and I always thought he was a kick-ass guitar player. We were just going to try it for a couple tours, but we were on fire when we played together; it was pretty crazy mojo. We had a full band for a while, but our electric duo shows were even better, so it was kind of a no-brainer: let's make an album.
Tell me about the decision to record the album live.
The electric duo shows that we were doing on tour were pretty serious ― we're sweating, we have the crowd going crazy and we've just got these two guitars. I knew we would be great in the studio and we could pull it off, but I thought it would take away what was cool about it: this tight dynamic, this sort of weaving and bobbing between each other's guitars. I was pretty inspired by Time Fades Away, an album Neil Young did in '73.
Did it feel like a risky move?
It was terrifying! When you go into a studio, you don't even have to have your songs arranged. You can work on that as it goes, you can rewrite lines and you can add instrumentation and watch it come to fruition during the few weeks you're in the studio. But to do it live meant the songs had to be ready and done for that day, so we had a lot of work to do. I kept thinking, "this is crazy, why are we doing this? We could nail a great album in the studio; I don't know why we're taking this chance." It felt really gutsy, but it was a challenge we rose to and we're really happy with the results.
I read online that Neil Young doesn't actually like Time Fades Away. What was it about that album that inspired you?
I just think Neil Young has so many great ideas. Why would you go in a studio and record when your band sound awesome on stage? That whole rock'n'roll purist part of him really appeals to me. I love that he does that album live. It's a pretty cool album; it's not one of my favourite albums of all time, but the balls behind it are so amazing. I really think that rock'n'roll is dying. It might have a resurgence, but I feel like it might be on its way out over the past few years. And I really just love straight up rock'n'roll. Even though my album's not a rock'n'roll album, the heart of it is. These over-produced studio albums, these over-made up indie rock bands, there's so much crap out there. And Neil Young's a good example of someone who was never trying to be anybody; he was just loving rock'n'roll. (Independent)

International Campaign to Monitor Fall of Russian Spacecraft
The wayward Russian Marscraft, Phobos-Grunt, is expected to soon dive into the Earth's atmosphere, destroying itself during a fiery re-entry process.
Phobos–Grunt was launched on November 8 of last year, but due to a propulsion failure, the spacecraft was marooned in Earth orbit, not propelled on an Earth-escape trajectory to Mars.
The spacecraft's mission was to land on Phobos – one of the two moons of Mars – and return to Earth samples of that body.
The spacecraft was declared lost by the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, in mid-December.
The lost-to-space spacecraft is now officially a target for the 12-member Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee, or IADC for short. This group of international partners will establish a coordinated prediction campaign focused on the fall of Phobos–Grunt.
Participants in this international campaign include NASA and Roscosmos – active members of the IADC.
When and where…a tough call
As for predicting the exact time Phobos-Grunt will fall – and over what part of the Earth the craft will re-enter – is a tough call.
"Right now, due to the large number of uncertainties in the orbit and space environment affecting the satellite, the indications are that Phobos-Grunt could reenter between January 13-17, between 51.4°N and 51.4°S," said Heiner Klinkrad, Head of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Space Debris Office.
ESA's Space Debris Office, located at the European Space Operations Centre, Darmstadt, Germany, hosts the IADC reentry event database that is used to exchange orbit data and reentry predictions among IADC members.
According to its Russian owners, Phobos–Grunt has a mass of 13.5 tons, including about 11 tons of toxic propellant.
Fuel load
Analyses by Roscosmos and NASA indicate that the fuel tanks, filled with unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine — UDMH — will burst high above the Earth, releasing its load of propellant and largely demise thereafter.
Roscosmos expects that at most, some 20 to 30 fragments of Phobos-Grunt leftovers may reach Earth's surface. However, given that most of the Earth's surface is covered by water, the chances of these fragments landing on terrain is very small.
"Since the beginning of the space age, there has been no confirmed report of an injury resulting from reentering space objects," according to an ESA statement.

The Houston County Board continues to weigh its options on Highway Department facility needs and expected to gain insight from an appraisal on the Roverud Construction building in Spring Grove. The board is considering re-purposing the Spring Grove building for the Highway Department.
A previous board had offered the owner, Curt Roverud, $1.2 million, according to Commissioner Steve Schuldt. But, Bi-State Realty & Appraisals of West Salem, Wis., came up with a market value of just $465,000.
"Curt (Roverud) didn't like it," Schuldt said.
The board asked County Assessor Tom Dybing to share his thoughts on the appraisal. "I had a few concerns with it," Dybing said, adding that he would have liked to see a cost approach in the conclusion in addition to the sales comparison and income approach that were provided. He said the cost approach allows you to look at what it would cost to build the same facility today.
Dybing said he was also concerned the comparables were too far away. "Two are in Bemidji, one is in Miltona and one is in Spicer. I realize trying to find comparables is a hard thing to do, but I'm wondering if there are some in Winona or Rochester," Dybing said.
"Comparables" is a real estate term referring to properties with characteristics that are similar to the property whose value is being sought.
Schuldt said he was wondering where the firm would get the comps and questioned if La Crosse sales would be germane.
Commissioner Justin Zmyewski asked if the concerns warrant a second appraisal, but County Auditor Char Meiners had the budget in mind. "How much money do you want to stick into appraising," she asked.
The first appraisal cost $2,000.
The board decided to go back to Bi-State Realty & Appraisals and press for more information, such as a number calculated by the cost approach.
As the county continues to weigh its options, it's noteworthy to mention that estimates on building new have floated around the $6 million mark. So far, $600,000 has been set aside to address the situation, which has grown more and more dire over the years. In fact, just last year the building was sited by OSHA for its deficiencies.
Big time tax issue
In other news, Dybing warned the board that Minnesota Energy Resources has filed a tax court petition to address what they believe is an unfair utility assessment.
Dybing explained that all utilities and railroads in the state are evaluated by the state. These valuations represent significant dollar amounts. For example, in the city of La Crescent alone there are $2 million worth of natural gas pipes.
If Minnesota Energy Resources were to prevail in tax court it will have significant implications for Houston County's budget. Even a 10 percent reduction in valuation would equal less tax revenue for the county.
Even worse, the county really has no say in the matter. "We'll just find out the results," Dybing said.
Personnel matters
Several personnel items were brought before the board by Human Resources Director Tess Arrick-Kruger, many of which address upcoming staffing vacancies.
First, the board approved internally posting a full-time jailer position. On Oct. 8 the board approved internally posting the lead jailer position with the expectation that there will be a good amount of interest in the lead position from current staff. Once someone is selected as the lead jailer, their slot will be vacant; thus, a need to post the job.
Similarly, once the full-time jailer position is filled, a part-time jailer position will open up, so the board approved posting that as well.
To address the upcoming loss of Public Health Director Deb Rock, Arrick-Kruger asked that Mary Thompson be named the interim director as of Nov. 4. Thompson is currently on phased retirement and will only work as a .6 FTE, but her experience will certainly remain useful as the county looks to fill this significant slot.
Road work
Four more road reconstruction projects were closed out by the board prior to adjournment.
They include:
• County 5 at a cost of $38,726.
• County 15 at a cost of $12,357.
• County 8 at a cost of $50,558.
• County 17 at a cost of $12,785.
The four projects were completed by Generation X Construction out of Rushford.

Deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman has condemned "horrible and untrue" allegations about her historic involvement in paedophile rights campaigns.
Ms Harman said she was the victim of a "politically-motivated smear campaign" by the Daily Mail, saying she had "done nothing wrong".
Loading article content
"They have accused me of being an apologist for child sex abuse, of supporting a vile paedophile organisation, of having a relaxed attitude to paedophilia and of watering down child pornography laws. These are horrific allegations and I strongly deny them all of them," she said.
Ms Harman and her MP husband Jack Dromey broke their silence after the newspaper ran a series of stories about their actions while officials at the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL) in the 1970s.
The body granted 'affiliate' status to the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), and is said to have lobbied for loosening of laws.
Ms Harman said: "The editor and proprietor of the Daily Mail are entitled to their political views and they are of course entitled to oppose what I stand for but they are not entitled to use their newspaper to smear me with innuendo because they disagree with me politically and hate my values."
Ms Harman denied that she had ever supported lowering the age of consent to 10, scrapping the law on incest, or sought to water down the law on child pornography.
Ms Harman said she had gone to work for the NCCL because she had supported its work on gender and racial equality, and against domestic violence.
Labour strategists are understood to have decided they needed to tackle the allegations "vigorously", as they did after the Mail criticised Ed Miliband's late father Ralph last year.
Mr Dromey - a shadow home affairs spokesman - said the allegations were "beneath contempt".
"Sexual abuse of children is evil and I have always viewed paedophiles and any group associated with them as evil," he said.

Since github is git based, this is no longer an issue. It costs me nothing to push my stuff up to github--I always end up with a full repo in my local copy. No history or metadata is out of my reach. I believe they even use git for their custom web pages--meaning even your project docs and such are similarly protected.
With github you won't lose anything if they go out of business or become evil.

A nice piece
I hear a hint of violin?
I personally love the strings, So I think in the few areas that they exist you should play them up some more. The same for where the piano really comes in to play, you should give them there moment in the sun.
The beats come threw song which really five this Remix it's place.
I think it could be pushed just a little more though. Just enough to get it over the top.
Very nice job
Rated 5 / 5 stars
wow amazed
this sh*t is tight maybe you can do me a beat doe my game?
Yeah sure, maybe you might like some of the ones ive already made :D Or I could make you something special :D Just pm mE!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Really enjoyed this
The combination of strings, bass and drums work great. Lots of variety and the bass and/or drums doesn't overshadow the instruments like I hear in other songs. I especially like the violin parts and the combo of soft musical parts and more upbeat. Good job ^^
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This song was just amazing, everything was great.
Its the sorta song you'd see in the intro, or trailer of a James Bond Movie.
I love it, 5/5 and favorited.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Flows really well from one part to the next.
I don't really like it when the drums go really deep at the beggining.
Could be good if you tried to a similar song but without the drums so it's kind of like an orchestra. I reckon that could turn out really good.
Really good, keep it up.

There is always something interesting going on at the Utley Homestead. There was the time the chimney almost fell off the house in a wind storm and the time the tractor slipped out of gear sending us careening down a hillside. Oh, and we mustn't forget the time we were held hostage in the dog kennel by a rabid raccoon. It's always something and there is always another lesson to be had. Today was no different. This is what I learned:
- Never mow the lawn if you are home alone. You never know what might go wrong.
- If the weeds are over a foot tall you might want to check to make sure there is nothing important in there that you wouldn't want to run over…like an exposed propane line.
- Be sure to store important numbers like the propane company in your phone because in a panic you might call the electric company to report a propane leak…or the feed store…or your father who lives in another state.
- If you ever do happen to run over an exposed propane line with your lawnmower, make sure you know how to turn the little knobby thingy to shut it off. (See illustration above.) This way the firemen won't have to show the little lady how she could have done it herself.
- Don't just assume that everyone will believe you when you say, "No really the lawnmower seat was wet when I sat down." …even if it is true.
- Bribing firemen with free fishing privileges is not necessary. Their services are free of charge. The propane company's services are not.
- Finally, there are other good ways to be prepared should a call to the fire department be unavoidable. Like always attempt to be wearing matching socks and never ever leave your bra just lying around the living room. *Hits self in face with palm.*
So that's what I learned today. Firemen are gone, house is safe for reentry, propane line is repaired and buried, and my blood pressure is back to normal. Oh, I just discovered my underwear drawer was open. Add that to the list of lessons learned. I am mortified.
P.S. Thank you Rivermont Volunteer Fire Department. You guys rock. And yes, the invite to go fishing was genuine. You know where to find me.

Juan: Roma season is a failure
Roma defender Juan has labelled his team's season as a failure after missing out on Champions League football next term.
The Giallorossi lost 2-1 at Catania yesterday to drop five points behind fourth-placed Udinese with one Serie A game remaining.
''We had great hopes this season following last year's campaign,'' said Juan. ''We had a good team but we weren't able to achieve our aims. Things haven't gone as planned this year.
''We are disappointed and our season can be considered a failure. Now we must think about the future. We still have one more game to play and we have to end the campaign with dignity.''
Roma, who finished runners-up in Serie A and the Coppa Italia to Inter Milan last season, beat Lazio 2-0 in the Eternal City derby on March 13. However, since then, Vincenzo Montella4s side have mustered just two victories in eight games.
Roma host already relegated Sampdoria on Sunday needing a point to guarantee Europa League football next season.
The Giallorossi are three points clear of Juventus, who host Napoli on Sunday.

Hammer introduced two sponsors whose donation – the largest in the history of the festival, Hammer said – is bringing back the raft race and helping support other festival programs.
Bill Bean, of Hanning and Bean Enterprises Inc., and Bruce Dye, of Hotel Fitness, are fronting the prize money. Hammer declined to say how much money in all the men are contributing to the festival, saying the figures would be available in the festival's tax disclosures next year. Sources close to The News-Sentinel said that the total donation is $114,000. That makes the sponsorship worth $100,000, in addition to the previously mentioned $14,000 in cash prizes.
A long list of rules and conditions – which doesn't appear to be posted on the TRF website yet – will bind participants in the raft race. Most are geared toward making the event safe, but at least one provides an immediate return for a race sponsor: Each raft must have the "Hotel Fitness" name or logo displayed on the raft.
Prizes will be awarded for the first-, second- and third-place rafts in two categories – fastest and most creative – and two divisions – commercial and individual or non-commercial.
The News-Sentinel first reported March 29 on the likelihood of the raft race's return.

Huskers and Hooisers set attendance record
Mon, 26 May 2014 01:33:39 GMT —
The crowd of 19,965 at the Big Ten tournament final between Indiana and Nebraska set an NCAA record for attendance at a conference baseball tournament game.
The tournament was played at TD Ameritrade Park, the home of the College World Series. Nebraska was the host, and its appearance in the championship game Sunday accounted for the big crowd.
Top-seeded Indiana defeated the No. 2-seeded Cornhuskers 8-4 to earn the Big Ten's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.
The Big Ten tournament's five-day attendance was a conference-record 62,020 - 10 times the total for the 2013 event held at Target Field in Minneapolis. The previous NCAA record for single-game attendance at a conference tournament was 17,860 for an Atlantic Coast Conference game between Florida State and North Carolina in 2005.

TEL AVIV (Oct. 19)
The Liberals and Israel's two leftist parties–Mapam and Achdut Avoda–made public today the conditions on which they would join Mapai in a new coalition Government.
The Liberal party demands are: state hospitalization insurance, a move toward general public health insurance; gradual abolition of foreign currency controls; and four portfolios in the next Cabinet, including Trade, Justice, Education and Health or Transport.
Mapam and Achdut Avoda agreed on the following conditions: abolition of military government in Arab sections or a free vote on this question; Parliamentary control over Israel's security network; coalition discipline but freedom in legislation; an end to the current ban on party youth movement activities in public schools; freedom of voting in connection with the sale of arms to West Germany; and imposition of taxes on property.
The Mapai central committee was scheduled to meet tomorrow. Mapai would have to decide whether to choose between the Liberals or the two leftist parties. Mapai strategists were reported as hoping to achieve a compromise on some of the demands, whatever the final Mapai choice turns out to be.

WASHINGTON, DC, May 4, 2011 — I really appreciate the warm welcome from Ambassador Roy and Orville Schell.
I'm pleased to be here, roughly one week from the start of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue, to help launch this report on Maximizing the Benefits of Chinese Foreign Direct Investment.
For decades, the U.S. has welcomed foreign investment with:
- A market-based economy supported by a fair and transparent legal system;
- The most productive and best educated workers in the world; and
- Vast natural resources.
This openness has made the U.S. the world's largest destination for FDI.
And the Obama administration wants to keep the United Statesas the world's premier destination for the ideas, the innovations, and, indeed, the capital of foreigners.
That's why the President's 2012 budget aims to make such significant investments in education, innovation, and infrastructure. We've got to maintain these building blocks of a vibrant economy to keep attracting foreign and domestic investors.
Because wherever you see foreign direct investment in American communities, you will see businesses and jobs being created and supported.
Foreign-owned companies employ some 5 million American workers across every single one of our 50 states.
And increasingly, we are seeing more investment coming in from China.
Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that investors from China have a total stock of FDI in the United States of about $2.3 billion.
And the report being released today shows Chinese foreign direct investment to America doubling in each ofthe last two years. Chinese investors now have investments in at least 35 of our 50 states, across dozens of industries.
And the big question we're really getting at today is pretty straightforward: Is more Chinese FDI in America a good thing?
The answer is yes. It's a good thing for American workers. And it's a good thing for American businesses.
That is why today, there are few industries where the Chinese or other foreign investors are restricted from investing in America.
Unfortunately, that is not the case for American companies operating in China, where they are frequently shut out of entire industries, orthey are forced to give up proprietary information as a condition of operating in China.
This imbalance of opportunity is a major barrier to continued improvement of the United States and China's commercial relationship. And it is part of a broader trend of China recently narrowing its commercial environment after a long and fruitful period of opening.
Today, I want to talk about some of America's concerns and about how we can move past them to take our trading relationship to the next level.
China's turn towards economic openness over the past few decades is perhaps the chief reason why it has been able to bring hundreds ofmillions of people out of poverty and into a thriving middle class.
This openness extended to foreign direct investment in many industries where China saw growth potential, and it helped:
- Put Chinese people to work;
- Transfer tremendous know-how to Chinese companies; and
- Give those companies enormous capacity to become major manufacturers and major exporters.
China's policies have also provided opportunities for foreign investors to enjoy substantial profits from their China operations.
It has been a mutually beneficial relationship.
But we could be at a turning point in our economic partnership. A partnership defined less by China making and U.S. consumers taking and more by empowered Chinese consumers buying more goods and services from U.S companies. A partnership marked by Chinese and American innovators working side-by-side to develop breakthrough technologies.
Just look at what's happening with General Electric, which has formed a joint venture with China's Shenhua Energy Company to advance cleaner coal technology solutions for industrial chemicals, fuels, and power generation.
Or look at the agreement that was signed earlier this year to establish a U.S.-China Public-Private Partnership on Healthcare.
This partnership will draw its strength from U.S. and Chinese companies working together to help China achieve its goal of improving healthcare for its people, and it will open new export markets for U.S. companies that are world leaders in healthcare innovation.
These are but a few examples of our countries' best minds working together on breakthrough technologies that could open up hundreds ofbillions of dollars in new commercial opportunities in both China and the United States — opportunities that could create millions of good, middle-class jobs in both countries.
Unfortunately, for every success story, there remain far too many stories of American and other foreign companies being prevented from investing or operating freely in the Chinese marketplace.
In my travels across the U.S., I continue to hear stories of exasperation from American business leaders concerned about the commercial environment in China.
These concerns are shared by businesses around the world, and the most frequent complaints revolve around:
- Lax intellectual property protection;
- Lack of predictability and openness in government decision-making; and
- A series of policies that unfairly discriminate against foreign companies operating in China.
When it comes to market access problems for foreign companies, the issues may be different, but the fundamental problem often boils down to the distance between the promises of China's government andaction.
Perhaps an agreement is made in Beijing, but it never gets put into practice. Or perhaps there's a well-written law or regulation at the national level, but there's lax enforcement in the provinces or cities. Whatever the case, we don't often see enough real impact on the ground.
Let me just cite a few examples.
First, look at the issue of transparency, where U.S. companies find that laws and regulations are often developed or change unpredictably without notice or the opportunity for public input.
In 2008, China pledged to institute a 30-day public comment period for all proposed trade- and economic-related regulations.
But a recent US-China Business Council report found that, over the last year, less than 3 percent of proposed regulatory measures have been published as promised.
That's not close to good enough.
