Rising sales, falling foreclosures buoy area real estate outlook
Southwestern Connecticut's residential real estate market is going through an up-and-down period, but it isn't as iffy as it sounds. Real estate professionals are optimistic as foreclosures decline and home sales are on the rise.
Foreclosures among outstanding mortgage loans in the region fell to 3.97 percent in August form 4.84 percent during the same period of 2012, according to CoreLogic, a California-based provider of real estate data.
That's still higher than the national rate of 2.36 percent. The five states with the highest foreclosure inventory as a percentage of all mortgaged homes were Florida, 7.9 percent; New Jersey, 6.2 percent; New York, 4.9 percent; Maine, 4 percent and Connecticut, 3.97 percent.
There were 48,000 completed foreclosures in the United States in August, down from 72,000 in August 2012, according to CoreLogic, which reported that the overall residential "shadow" inventory as of July was 1.9 million homes, accounting for a value of $293 billion and representing a supply of 3.7 months.
The most-recent inventory figure is down 22 percent from a year ago when it was at 2.4 million and town 38 percent from its peak in 2010 when it reached 3 million homes.
"The foreclosure inventory continues to improve, as exhibited by these recent numbers," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. "A surge in completed foreclosures and a rise in the foreclosure inventory is unlikely, given continued house price improvements and shortages of supply in many markets."
CoreLogic also reported that the mortgage delinquency rate decreased in Fairfield County in August when 6.57 percent of mortgage loans were 90 days or more delinquent, compared with 7.69 percent for the same period last year.
The improvement in the foreclosure rates comes as housing permits across the state rise.
Housing permits issued in Connecticut are ahead of last year through August by 11.1 percent, averaging about 340 units per month, according to Berkshire Hathaway New England Properties HomeServices.
"This is significant because last year's total permits -- 4,140 -- was Connecticut's best year since 2008 when 4,910 permits were issued," said Berkshire Hathaway in its third quarter report. "We are projecting a year-end total of 4,085 this year, which would be on par with last year." The company said 58 percent of those permits were for single-family homes, while 40 percent were for multifamily homes or apartments.
Down-county sales, prices
Halstead Property, meanwhile, reported a marked year-over-year improvement in several important facets of the residential real estate market in the region.
Among some of the highlights, New Canaan experienced a 27 percent increase in sales in the third quarter, and a decline in the time on the market from 172 days to 169. Darien had a 20 percent rise in sales.
Prices were also up in most towns, according to Halstead.
Wilton saw the highest increase in prices across the region, as the median price rose 16 percent to $845,000. Norwalk also recorded a gain in prices, with the median cost of a house climbing 7 percent to $465,000. There also was 19 percent increase in closings.
Stamford had a 24 percent increase in sales and a 12 percent decrease in time on the market, but there were only modest changes in prices, according to Halstead.
"This has been another upbeat quarter as far as real estate goes," said Diane Ramirez, CEO of New York City-based Halstead Property, with offices in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York. "Though prices increased only modestly, it is still a positive trend overall. We were pleased to see the huge upswing in sales in some of the markets and in the decline in days on the market in many of the towns that reported."
In Greenwich, known for its high-end, manicured properties, single-family home sales increased 11 percent year to date, compared with 2012, with the median sale price up 2.6 percent to $1.67 million, according to the Greenwich office of Houlihan Lawrence, which reported that the market there is on pace to exceed 600 single family home sales in 2013 -- the highest level since 2007.
The firm also reported that the condominium market is hot in Greenwich with sales up 73 percent year-to-date, compared with 2012, and the median price is up 7.7 percent to $700,000.
"In the classic pattern seen at the end of a housing bear market -- one which has been playing out across the U.S. over the past several years -- prices fall until buyers perceive value and return to the market in enough numbers to halt further price declines," said Chris Meyers, managing principal of Houlihan Lawrence, in prepared comments. "This marks the proverbial bottom. "Eventually, continued sales growth and declining inventories lead to price appreciation as a new bull market cycle begins."
Typically, a sustainable housing market recovery starts at the lower price levels, he said.

Q&A: Don Garber (MLS), Herbert Hainer (Adidas) Talk Tech, Soccer, Business
By Barry Janoff
July 25, 2012: In 1965, TV viewers were first treated to Get Smart, a comedy show in which spies used (and often misused) cutting-edge technology to gather information.
On July 25, Major League Soccer and adidas joined in an effort to help the league and fans get technologically smart at the 2012 AT&T MLS All-Star Game.
The match, which pitted MLS stars against Chelsea of the English Premier League, was labeled the first "smart" game in pro sports history. During the event, players from both teams — including David Beckham, Landon Donovan, Thierry Henry, Chris Wondolowski and Dwayne De Rosario — used adidas' miCoach Elite, a data-tracking system that provides coaches, trainers and players with such real-time performance metrics as heart rate, speed, acceleration, distance, field position and power.
Beginning with the 2013 season, the adidas miCoach Elite System will be used by all 19 clubs, in effect making MLS the first "smart" league.
According to adidas, the miCoach Elite System features a small data cell that fits into a protective pocket located between the shoulder blades in a player's base layer. More than 200 signals per second per player are sent to a central computer via a series of electrodes and sensors woven into the base layer fabric. Information is then displayed on the coach's iPad.
The integration of the miCoach Elite System is the latest result of an alliance with adidas that began in MLS' inaugural 1996 season. In 2010, MLS and adidas signed an eight-year deal, which industry analysts valued at more than $200 million, that replaced a ten-year, $150 million deal signed in 2005 for adidas to take a lead partnership and marketing role in MLS.
Marketing support inlcudes a miCoach Elite System TV spot, "MLS: This Is Smart Soccer," which launched on ESPN2 during the AT&T MLS All-Star Game in PPL Park in Chester, Pa. It features among others MLS players David Beckham, Fredy Montero, Darlington Nagbe, Brek Shea and Will Bruin.
NYSportsJournalism spoke with adidas Group CEO Herbert Hainer, MLS commissioner Don Garber and vp-adidas interactive Paul Gaudio about the impact of the new technology and the role adidas has played in the growth of the league.
NYSportsJournalism.com: Every league is working to develop and use technology to its advantage, so why is MLS the first-to-market with this system?
Don Garber: We are a league that can take more risks. You have to look at where we are in our growth, the strong fan support we have and the high percentage of fans who are tech-savvy and want be part of the next wave of technology. Also, we may be unique in the way we work so closely with all of our clubs and our players. And you have to credit our long-standing partnership with adidas and our combined goal to bring innovative and game-changing experiences to the sport of soccer.
Herbert Hainer: We started with football because that is the sport we know the most about. But, of course, it can be carried into other leagues.
NYSJ: How vital is is for MLS to be a leader in sports technology?
DG: There has always been a close alignment between technology and sports, but most of that has been involving television. Now, there are multiple ways to watch sports, but that is still mainly about broadcasting. This technology will take sports in America to a higher level. Our partnership with adidas has always been about making the sport better. Working with adidas, we are bringing players, coaches and fans across the league a revolutionary technology to help teams perform at the highest level.
HH: This is a major step forward in what adidas is doing in world football. The sport and business are evolving. And the technology is evolving. We have to continue to show what we are doing on the field and in technology. As the paths of sports and technology continue to converge, we are pleased to be pioneering in this area and continue to deliver cutting-edge innovations to teams and leagues worldwide.
"This technology will take sports in America to a higher level. Our partnership with adidas has always been about making the sport better."
NYSJ: When you sit down with NBA commissioner David Stern, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and other league leaders, do you talk about the ways in which MLS is advancing technology?
DG: [Laughs.] We talk about a lot of things. Including technology. Every league is looking at ways to improve in a rapidly changing landscape. Specifically regarding miCoach, I hope this can spread to other leagues in the U.S. The technology certainly can be accomplished. Adidas has relationships with the other leagues in the U.S. and I see them looking to take it elsewhere. Once this rolls out in the MLS league-wide, other leagues will have a better understanding of what it can do.
HH: Technological support is needed for different reasons in different sports. The miCoach Elite System is a big step forward and will create a lot of interest. We will talk to the NBA, to David Stern and Adam Silver. And, of course, we will be talking to all the other leagues.
NYSJ: Have any players or coaches been reluctant to add the miCoach technology to their game?
DG: Not really. Soccer players live in a world that is more engaged in what I call a new demographic: They are more tech-oriented, as are most athletes. Some of the biggest traffic on Twitter is from professional athletes. So they are engaged with technology and are interested in and supportive of what we are doing. The purpose is to help improve the level of play on the field, take the skills they have learned and combine that with technology that can measure what an athlete is doing, what he doing correctly or not, and make them better players. And to get data that would also avoid injuries by monitoring heart rates and other physical measurements.
HH: We are always trying to make the game more interesting and fun for players and fans. We always look for ways to get more people to follow soccer. This provides much more information. Players and fans are interested in information that shows what happens to players, how hard are they working, how fast can they run, how fast can they accelerate. When you buy a car, you get every description: How fast it accelerates, how many seconds from 0-to-100. You get a lot of information and details. That makes you more informed and with the sport makes it more accessible.
Paul Gaudio: [Coaches and players should embrace this because] clearly this will have an impact relating to on-field injuries. You can monitor if a player has slowed down or if his performance has changed somewhat or dramatically. You would be able to tell that something is wrong. But it would not be used relating directly to concussions. There is no correlation. But as we gather data on each player, moving forward what makes this system so exciting is that we can measure where a player is when performing at his best, and then work to get the data back to those levels after an injury. We would have a benchmark against which you could measure data.
NYSJ: How would you describe the relationship between MLS and adidas?
DG: They have the sport in their DNA. They have long been committed to growing the sport in the U.S. and around the world. They see MLS as a key driver in helping to make this country more passionate about the sport.
HH: We are very proud of the role we have had in the growth of MLS and soccer in the United States. We are proud to partner with our long-term partner Major League Soccer to debut our latest innovation the miCoach Elite System at the MLS All-Star Game and then across the league in 2013. We have been with MLS since the beginning and have continued to look for ways to expand our role with them to build the sport and, of course, our business.
NYSJ: How long has miCoach been in development?
PG: We have been working on this technology for well over two years. There are a lot of good ideas in the works, but without the right partner they just stay on the shelf. There was a problem between what could be measured and what could be analyzed. How do you bring the information to the competitive level in real time with reliable data. It is not as much about the technology as about how we can serve it up. Coaches want the data they need to make on-field, real-time decisions in such areas as speed, distance, power, heart rate. This will help us to better understand the impact of physical activity on the body, both good and bad.
HH: You can be sure this has been thoroughly tested under many conditions before we reached this point where we will use it in the All-Star Game and then next season bring it to all the MLS clubs. We have tested it in other games, which we did not announce, to make sure that it performs the way we want it to under soccer conditions. We just tested it in a game [last week] and it was perfect.
NYSJ: Will fans in stadiums and viewers on TV be aware of the data being measure and how coaches and players are using it?
DG: They will be aware that the adidas miCoach Elite System is being used. We will give them a peek behind the curtains. Fans [were] able to follow the miCoach Elite System statistics via adidas Soccer's Facebook page.
NYSJ: How will this technology impact MLS, adidas and the relationship moving forward?
DG: The league is moving in the right direction. All of the indicators we look at to measure growth have been particularly good this year. It helps to have great partners. With adidas, we work with them on day-to-day situations regarding what we have to do to improve the level of play, make the athletes better, give the fans a quality of play that is always improving. But that goes beyond the basics of uniforms, shoes, balls and equipment. The technology is more apart of the game than ever. We have to continue to innovate, whether it's the technology we are using or the decisions we are making to advance and enhance soccer.
HH: This will definitely have an impact. I am absolutely certain about that. If you follow sports in general, you see that more and more technological support is going in. Hawk-Eye (the system that tracks the trajectory of a ball and can then show in virtual-reality replay where the ball landed) in tennis at Wimbledon. At the Olympics in all sports. FIFA is talking about goal-line technology. Technological support is needed for different reasons in different sports.
This is a very busy time for adidas, with MLS, the MLS All-Star Game and the Olympics, where we are a partner with the IOC. It is a challenge, but this is what it is all about. We had a very good start in 2012 and we are looking to reach record sales and profits. This is what is helping to drive our business.

Megachurch's Anti-Vaccine Stance Results In God's Measles-y Wrath
from the or-maybe-it's-just-nature dept
Here's a fun question: what if there is a God and he/she/it has a sense of irony? I'm not sure whether that thought is comforting or terrifying. For instance, let's say you're a Christian down in Texas and you belong to a megachurch.You're a good Christian, part of a good Christian community, and you go to church every Sunday to celebrate your faith. All good, right? Now, let's say this megachurch then tells its parishoners that they shouldn't immunize their children against the measles because the pastor has been spending too much time listening to Jenny McCarthy and a horribly flawed/fraudelant study done by a quack doctor years ago. Pretty dumb, yeah? Again, what happens next if God, or even just the universe, has a sense of irony?
Well, I'd say that the result would be religion doing what religion does best: performing a resurrection. Only this time, the resurrected is an officially obliterated disease that hasn't been seen for years due to vaccinations. You know this disease better by the name measles.
The latest measles outbreak is in Texas, where the virus has sickened 25 people, most of whom are members or visitors of a church led by the daughter of televangelist Kenneth Copeland. Fifteen of the measles cases are centered around Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, Texas, whose senior pastor, Terri Pearsons, has previously been critical of measles vaccinations.Previously critical means that Copeland told her parishoners not to get the vaccines over concerns that they cause autism in children. Make no mistake, no matter what your views on her religion, this is easily the most falsifiable thing Copeland has ever said from the pulpit. I'd suggest that people in positions of authority and power, including religious leaders, have a responsibility to not advocate endangering children. Could this be a form of child abuse? I'm not sure, but it's a discussion worth having, because when someone uses their religious platform to advocate the kind of nonsense that can directly kill people, that's a problem.
Now, to her credit, Copeland has since done an about-face and urged her community to go get the vaccine.
"Our children and even adults of all ages need to be immunized now to stop the spread of measles and prevent those potential complications," Pearsons said. "The disease is only shut down when all are immunized."It's nice to see such strong, difinitive statements from Copeland that are actually true. People, immunize your children. Doctors know more than quack researchers and plastic-boobed playmates.

Bananas from the Canary Islands
Introduced from Asia, the Canary Island Banana became acclimated to the islands in this archipelago during the 15th and 16th centuries.
It comes from the large plantain tree, which produces bunches of fruit weighing between 15 and 50 kg. The fruit, once ripe, is long, slightly curved and cylindrical. Its colour is yellow-gold, with small brown spots on the peel when it has reached its maximum sweetness, flavour and smell. It is most often eaten as a fresh fruit, although in the Canary Islands it is typical to eat fried bananas with Cuban-style rice. Bananas are also used in fruit cocktails and they are also making their way into the recipes of modern cuisine.

Earth, Wind & Fire
- Philip Bailey
- Larry Dunn
- Johnny Graham
- Ralph Johnson
- Al McKay
- Fred White
- Maurice White
- Verdine White
- Andrew Woolfolk
Musically tight, boldly experimental and universally loved. Earth, Wind and Fire had it all.
Earth, Wind and Fire took jazz, soul, gospel, pop and more and wrapped them in one psychedelic, mystical package. Few groups were as innovative yet beloved by critics and audiences as EW&F.
Earth, Wind and Fire drew from various streams of black music, synthesizing soul, funk, R&B, pop, gospel and African styles into a polished, precision-tooled approach.
During the latter half of the Seventies, the band issued a string of albums that changed the face of black popular music, linking thrilling music with uplifting messages of racial pride, African consciousness and spiritual unity. A large and visually resplendent ensemble, its members often wore colorful African robes. The group was known for employing magic tricks (often directed by the late Doug Henning) in their elaborate late-Seventies stage shows. Even so, the anthemic power of "Shining Star," "Serpentine Fire," "Getaway" and numerous other crossover hits proved that Earth, Wind and Fire's music could stand on its own.
The group was founded by Memphis-born Maurice White. His father was a doctor, and his grandfather was a New Orleans honky-tonk piano player. White studied at the Chicago Conservatory, then became a session drummer with Chess Records from 1963 to 1967. He recorded with Muddy Waters, the Impressions and Fontella Bass, among others. After leaving Chess, he played with the Ramsey Lewis Trio from 1967 to 1969. He then formed a band called the Salty Peppers with Wade Flemons and Don Whitehead. They signed with Capitol Records and released two singles: "La La Time" and "Uh Huh Yeah."
White then moved to Los Angeles and invited his brother Verdine, who played bass, to join him in L.A. In 1971 they formed Earth, Wind and Fire. The name was derived from White's astrological chart, which contained only earth, air and fire signs. The group's original lineup included Maurice on vocals, African kalimba and drums; Verdine on bass; Whitehead on keyboards; Flemons on electric piano; Michael Beale on guitar; Phillard Williams on percussion; Sherry Scott on vocals; and Chester Washington and Leslie Drayton on horns. The band signed with Warner Bros. Records and released its first album, Earth, Wind and Fire, in February 1971. That November, the band released another album, The Need of Love.
After that second album, Maurice White reconstituted the band, retaining only Verdine from the original lineup. The group also left Warner Bros. and signed with Columbia Records. Earth, Wind and Fire's second Columbia album, Head to the Sky, came out in 1973. It reached Number Fifteen the following year and included two hit singles, "Evil" and "Keep Your Head to the Sky." In 1975 the group released what would become its breakthrough album, That's the Way of the World, which yielded "Shining Star," a Grammy Award-winning Number One hit on both the pop and R&B charts. Earth, Wind and Fire's conquest of the Seventies continued with an unbroken run of multiplatinum albums: Gratitude (1975), Spirit (1976), All 'n All (1977), The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1 (1978) and I Am (1979).
Earth, Wind and Fire's definitive nine-man lineup coalesced around a core of the two White brothers and Philip Bailey on vocals. The group's tight, punchy horn section became a featured attraction, but the musical currents ran deeply. "Our whole vision," Bailey has commented, "derived from the greats before us: Miles Davis and John Coltrane and all the great singers...We were jazz musicians at heart playing popular music." Moreover, they were driven by idealism. "The essence of this band is hope," White has said.
Earth, Wind and Fire attracted a then-untapped audience of hip, young urban black and white fans that reacted to the energetic music and charismatic presentation. In addition to overseeing Earth, Wind and Fire's albums and tours, Maurice White was fast becoming one of the hottest producers around. He even started his own label, ARC, in 1978. Without question one of the hardest-working bands in show business, Earth, Wind and Fire found themselves physically and creatively exhausted by the early Eighties. The band took a four-year hiatus, during which time White devoted himself to production, while Philip Bailey launched a dual solo career, finding success in both the Christian and pop fields. The much-in-demand Earth, Wind and Fire horn players, known as the Phoenix Horns, teamed up with Genesis and its singer/drummer, Phil Collins, on a number of hit recordings. Collins and Bailey collaborated on "Easy Lover," a Number Two hit in 1984.
The reunited Earth, Wind and Fire bounced back in 1987 with a strong album (Touch the World) and single ("System of Survival"). They became an active recording and touring entity again, albeit at a less frantic pace. A career-spanning box set, The Eternal Dance, was released in 1992. Maurice White retired from the road in 1996 after coming down with Parkinson's disease. However, he remains Earth, Wind and Fire's producer and guiding light.
Earth, Wind and Fire was inducted into the NAACP Hall of Fame in 1994, and the band received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame the following year. In 1997 Earth, Wind and Fire released its seventeenth studio album, In the Name of Love, on the Pyramid/Rhino label. In 2003 the band issued another studio album, The Promise. It reached Number Nineteen on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart. Two years later Earth, Wind and Fire released Illumination. The album included the single "Show Me the Way," which featured a guest appearance by Rafael Saadiq and which was nominated for a Grammy. The album also included appearances by will.i.am, Kelly Rowland and Big Boi.
Yet another Earth, Wind and Fire album, the group's twentieth studio album Now, Then & Forever, was released in September 2013.
Over the years, Earth, Wind and Fire has won numerous awards and honors. The band has been nominated for seventeen Grammys and has won six; it has been nominated for twelve American Music Awards and has won four. In 2002 the group won the BET Lifetime Achievement Award, and the following year the band was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame. In 2011 Earth, Wind and Fire received the Legend Award at the Soul Train awards show, and Maurice White and Philip Bailey have received honorary doctorates from the Berklee College of Music.

Chris Santos, the 41-year-old "Chopped" judge and chef-owner of late night hotspot Beauty & Essex, is used to hosting fellow cooks into the wee hours. "Dave Chang was here last week," the 20-year city veteran says. "Scott Conant and Marcus Samuelsson are in here quite a bit. Eddie Huang comes here late night with a posse. " Meanwhile, at Santos' sister restaurant, the Stanton Social, after-hours regulars include Mario Batali and Gavin Kaysen. When he's not entertaining his culinary colleagues well into the evening, he satisfies his own midnight cravings at their joints. These are his late-night NYC eats.
1. Blue Ribbon, 97 Sullivan St., between Spring and Prince streets, 212-274-0404
"I moved here in 1993. I'm old. Nothing makes you feel older than saying I've been a chef in New York City for 20 years. One of the places that remains on my list is the original Blue Ribbon on Sullivan Street. It's still always packed. It used to be the only late night hangout spot, and I'd go there a minimum of three times a month. I still order the duck club (above), which has been the same sandwich since 1997."
2. Casa Mono, 52 Irving Place, 212-253-2773
"The foie gras with five onions (above) is outrageous. I love to get there for the very last seating, around 11:45 p.m. I'll usually go with (Buttermilk Channel's) Ryan Angulo. When we get there, it's full, and then it winds down. It's a nice way to relax after a busy night, and we end up being the last ones there. I'm usually out of there by 1:15 — I'm super aware I don't keep the staff late and be 'that guy.' "
3. Minetta Tavern, 113 MacDougal St., between Bleecker and Third streets, 212-475-3850
"Mark Pastore [president of Pat LaFrieda meats] does signature [hamburger] blends for several restaurants, including mine. He introduced me to the chef here, so now I call the chef myself and get in. I like the corner booth in the main dining room where you can see the entire room in front of you and people watch. I usually go after 10:30 or 11 p.m. and get the Black Label Burger and a tequila, neat. I'm 41 years old so I'm not chugging shots of tequila anymore. That's so 2001. Mark goes for a steak — I think he's tired of hamburger."
4. Avenue, 116 10th Ave., between 17th and 18th streets, 212-337-0054
"It doesn't even begin to pick up until after midnight, so I go around 1 a.m. and leave around 2:30 a.m. I've shared tables with Gordon Ramsay. He was very nice. It's not unusual to bump into him or Todd English. I like to do 1942 Don Julio tequila — the good stuff. It's expensive but really worth it."
5. La Esquina, 114 Kenmare St., at Lafayette Street, 646-613-7100
"Roble Ali gets super excited about food, he's like my protégé, so we go and grab a bite to eat. We usually go to La Esquina, downstairs past the kitchen – say 'hello' to Akhtar [Nawab] the chef. The roasted pork tacos are crazy good, usually paired with a lot of tequila."
6. Maison Premiere, 298 Bedford Ave., between Grand and S. First streets, 347-335-0446
"I love this place. If it were in the East Village, I'd go every night of the week. It feels like stepping back to an earlier time, it oozes sensuality. It's a great date place. My girlfriend lives in LA, and it's usually our first date when she gets in town. We get there at midnight or later. I like to sit at the center of the bar. My girlfriend orders oysters and I get the gumbo and the Blind Boy Paxton. It's unbelievably delicious, so easy to drink. Very dangerous. It's frothy and has some body from egg whites. There's also mezcal, white rum, lime, chile, cinnamon syrup."
And where will Santos be dining al fresco this summer? At the very least, the annual "Chopped" barbecue, an all-day/all-night affair, which host Ted Allen throws at his home in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, for his co-stars. "Last year, Geoffrey Zakarian did an amazing tomato and peach salad with burratta, and Amanda Freitag made amazing jerk-chicken thighs," he says. This year, Santos will be making grilled chipotle shrimp — and now, you can, too. Note: Recipe makes enough marinade for about 50 servings.
Chipotle Marinade:
1/4 cup lime juice
1 can of chipotle
2 tablespoons ancho powder
1 bunch of cilantro
15 garlic cloves
1 quart of blended oil
Blend the lime juice, chipotle, cilantro and garlic. Slowly add the oil. Pour over shrimp, poultry or fish, and chill for one day.

Recent Developments in Corporation Income Taxes
BY NORMAN R. KERTH Partner, New Orleans Office
Presented before New Orleans Chapter of the National
Association of Accountants — January 1960
HE YEAR 1959 did not produce major income tax legislation such as
was produced in 1954 when the currently applicable Internal Revenue Code was adopted, or as was produced in 1958 under the Technical Amendments Act. However, there have been some important
and significant developments brought about by legislation and judicial decisions, and by the Treasury Department in the administrative
area of regulations, rulings, and other releases. This discussion will be limited to some of the 1959 developments that are believed to be of concern and application to corporations.
There were several developments in the legislative area that affected life insurance companies, state taxation of interstate commerce,
Subchapter S, and corporation income tax rates.
The Life Insurance Company Income Tax Act (PL 86-69) signed into law by the President on June 25, 1959, furnished a new formula for the taxation of life insurance companies, which is the culmination of seven years of temporary legislation. As the Act is of very limited interest, an analysis has not been considered as being within the scope of this discussion.
The new Interstate Income Law (PL 86-272) signed by the President
on September 14, 1959 was emergency legislation to deal with the expanding problems brought about by attempts of various states to tax net income derived from interstate commerce. It is intended to lessen the impact of the United States Supreme Court's historic decision
in February 1959 in the cases of Northwestern States Portland Cement Co. v. Minnesota and Williams v. Stockham Valves & Fittings, Inc. (358 U. S. 450, 79 S. Ct. 357). The Northwestern-Stockham cases were concerned with the constitutionality of state net income tax laws

Look – Quick & Dirty Smokey Eyes
Quick and dirty smoky eye 🙂 So, I finally get my foundation to match my skin in *natural* light… but then either the foundation or my setting powder reflects light and it doesn't match in photos! Apparently, my bathroom light is terrible, because so many foundations looked like they were a match, only to look in my car mirror and see a totally different story. Sigh!
HAPPY FRIDAY ALL! Hope it speeds by (well, the work part of it!) so you can play. How's everyone doing? Any exciting weekend plans? (I'm off to spend the majority of today studying with some fellow MBA students… so exciting. I know you're jealous!)
You will need the following…
- Eyes: Soft Ochre paint pot (neutral beige base), Electra eyeshadow (bright silver), Smoke and Diamonds eyeshadow (dark silver-gray), Copperplate eyeshadow (matte gray-brown), Pincurl eyeshadow (duochrome gray-pink), Shroom eyeshadow (soft highlighter), Mystery kohl power (teal-black), Plushlash mascara (black)
- Cheeks: Guerlain Shell Illuminating Sun Powder (bronzer), Guerlain Nacre des Mers Pressed Meteorites (sheer shimmer)
- Lips: Tiger Tiger lipstick (orange-y nude), Style Minx lipglass (hot pink)
- Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 214 (smudge brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Smoke and Diamonds = Silver Ring; Pincurl = Vex; Mystery = Teal-o; Tiger Tiger = Peachstock; Style Minx = Pink Poodle
Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Soft Ochre paint pot all over the lid as the base. On the inner half of the lid, apply Electra eyeshadow using the 239. Apply Smoke & Diamonds eyeshadow to the outer half of the lid. Darken the outer lid using Copperplate eyeshadow using the 239. Darken crease with Copperplate eyeshadow using the 226. Accent inner tear duct with Pincurl eyeshadow using the 226. Sweep Shroom eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Mystery kohl power on lower lash line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Guerlain Sun Powder using the 129, then highlight with Guerlain Nacre des Mers Meteorites with the 188. Apply Tiger Tiger lipstick to lips, and then top with Style Minx lipglass for color and shine.
