Bombardier Delivers First Global 6000 Aircraft to Mexico-Based Operator
Bombardier's Global aircraft family celebrated a significant milestone with the entry-into-service of its first Global 6000 business jet to be operated from Mexico. The aircraft was delivered to Aero Angeles S.A de C.V., an aircraft operator based in Mexico, during a special ceremony at Bombardier Aerospace's facility in Montréal.
"We are delighted to see the first Global 6000 jet to enter service in Mexico," said Stéphane Leroy, Regional Vice President, Sales, Latin America, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "The Global 6000 aircraft has a solid reputation in the industry and is the clear leader in its segment, offering a unique combination of performance, range and cabin comfort. This aircraft provides the world's leading companies with the ultimate business tool to make most out of their business missions."
"Mexico and Latin America are key markets for Bombardier and we are proud to see our leading fleet of business jets grow even further," he added.
Over the next 20 years, Bombardier forecasts over 2,300 business jet deliveries for the overall business aviation industry in Latin America†. The demand, driven by economic growth, globalization and the increase in the number of billionaires in those markets, is expected to rise even further. With the industry's most comprehensive product portfolio and a commitment to leadership in customer satisfaction, Bombardier continues to grow its leadership position in the business aviation industry. From light jets to large, ultra long-range aircraft, Bombardier offers a solution to all customers, whatever their requirements may be.
Global 6000 aircraft: The Global 6000 jet's unrivalled cabin size and levels of comfort combined with an optional stand-up shower and the Bombardier Vision flight deck means no other purpose-built business jet comes close in terms of high-speed range capability and traveler comfort. Offering the ultimate in technology, this intrepid jet can link Toluca with Paris, non-stop, with six passengers and three to four crew*.

Skydiver breaks sound barrier
Published 10:23 am Monday, October 15, 2012
ROSWELL, N.M. — In a giant leap from more than 24 miles up, a daredevil skydiver shattered the sound barrier Sunday while making the highest jump ever — a tumbling, death-defying plunge from a balloon to a safe landing in the New Mexico desert.
Felix Baumgartner hit Mach 1.24, or 833.9 mph, according to preliminary data, and became the first person to reach supersonic speed without traveling in a jet or a spacecraft after hopping out of a capsule that had reached an altitude of 128,100 feet above the Earth.
Landing on his feet in the desert, the man known as "Fearless Felix" lifted his arms in victory to the cheers of jubilant friends and spectators who closely followed his descent in a live television feed at the command center.
"When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data," he said after the jump. "The only thing you want is to come back alive."
A worldwide audience watched live on the Internet via cameras mounted on his capsule as Baumgartner, wearing a pressurized suit, stood in the doorway of his pod, gave a thumbs-up and leapt into the stratosphere.
"Sometimes we have to get really high to see how small we are," an exuberant Baumgartner told reporters outside mission control after the jump.
Baumgartner's descent lasted just over nine minutes, about half of it in a free fall of 119,846 feet, according to Brian Utley, a jump observer from the FAI, an international group that works to determine and maintain the integrity of aviation records. He said the speed calculations were preliminary figures.
During the first part of Baumgartner's free fall, anxious onlookers at the command center held their breath as he appeared to spin uncontrollably.
"When I was spinning first 10, 20 seconds, I never thought I was going to lose my life but I was disappointed because I'm going to lose my record. I put seven years of my life into this," he said.
He added: "In that situation, when you spin around, it's like hell and you don't know if you can get out of that spin or not. Of course it was terrifying. I was fighting all the way down because I knew that there must be a moment where I can handle it."
Baumgartner said traveling faster than sound is "hard to describe because you don't feel it." The pressurized suit prevented him from feeling the rushing air or even the loud noise he made when breaking the sound barrier.
With no reference points, "you don't know how fast you travel," he said.
The 43-year-old former Austrian paratrooper with more than 2,500 jumps behind him had taken off early Sunday in a capsule carried by a 55-story ultra-thin helium balloon.
His ascent was tense at times and included concerns about how well his facial shield was working.
Any contact with the capsule on his exit could have torn his suit, a rip that could expose him to a lack of oxygen and temperatures as low as minus-70 degrees. That could have caused lethal bubbles to form in his bodily fluids.
But none of that happened. He activated his parachute as he neared Earth, gently gliding into the desert about 40 miles east of Roswell and landing smoothly. The images triggered another loud cheer from onlookers at mission control, among them his mother, Eva Baumgartner, who was overcome with emotion, crying.
He then was taken by helicopter to meet fellow members of his team, whom he hugged in celebration.
Coincidentally, Baumgartner's accomplishment came on the 65th anniversary of the day that U.S. test pilot Chuck Yeager became the first person to officially break the sound barrier in a jet. Yeager, in fact, commemorated that feat on Sunday, flying in the back seat of an F-15 Eagle as it broke the sound barrier at more than 30,000 feet above California's Mojave Desert.
At Baumgartner's insistence, some 30 cameras recorded his stunt. Shortly after launch, screens at mission control showed the capsule, dangling from the massive balloon, as it rose gracefully above the New Mexico desert, with cheers erupting from organizers. Baumgartner could be seen on video, calmly checking instruments inside.
The dive was, in fact, more than just a stunt. NASA is eager to improve its blueprints for future spacesuits.
Baumgartner's team included Joe Kittinger, who first tried to break the sound barrier from 19.5 miles up in 1960, reaching speeds of 614 mph. With Kittinger inside mission control, the two men could be heard going over technical details during the ascension.
"Our guardian angel will take care of you," Kittinger radioed to Baumgartner around the 100,000-foot mark.
An hour into the flight, Baumgartner had ascended more than 63,000 feet and had gone through a trial run of the jump sequence. Ballast was dropped to speed up the ascent.
Kittinger told him, "Everything is in the green. Doing great."
As Baumgartner ascended, so did the number of viewers watching on YouTube; company officials said the event broke a site record with more than 8 million simultaneous live streams at its peak.
After Baumgartner landed, his sponsor, Red Bull, posted a picture of him on his knees on the ground to Facebook, generating nearly 216,000 likes, 10,000 comments and more than 29,000 shares in less than 40 minutes.
On Twitter, half the worldwide trending topics had something to do with the jump, pushing past seven NFL football games. Among them was this tweet from NASA: "Congratulations to Felix Baumgartner and RedBull Stratos on record-breaking leap from the edge of space!"
This attempt marked the end of a long road for Baumgartner, a record-setting high-altitude jumper. He already made two preparation jumps in the area, one from 15 miles high and another from 18 miles high. He has said that this was his final jump.
Red Bull has never said how much the long-running, complex project cost.
Although he broke the sound barrier, the highest manned-balloon flight record and became the man to jump from the highest altitude, he failed to break Kittinger's 5 minute and 35 second longest free fall record. Baumgartner's was timed at 4 minutes and 20 seconds in free fall.
He said he opened his parachute at 5,000 feet because that was the plan.
"I was putting everything out there, and hope for the best and if we left one record for Joe — hey, it's fine," he said when asked if he intentionally left the record for Kittinger to hold. "We needed Joe Kittinger to help us break his own record and that tells the story of how difficult it was and how smart they were in the 60's. He is 84 years old, and he is still so bright and intelligent and enthusiastic."
Baumgartner has said he plans to settle down with his girlfriend and fly helicopters on mountain rescue and firefighting missions in the U.S. and Austria.
Before that, though, he said, "I'll go back to LA to chill out for a few days … will take it easy as hell, trust me."

There were so many rocking babies at the NY Hilton Thursday, Friday and Saturday at BlogHer last week. 2,400 attendees - 1000 more than last year!
We ROCK!
We are STRONG!
We are the world, Bloggers!
We DO make a difference!
There's a terrific recap @Marketing to Women...I borrowed this paragraph:
"For the uninitiated, BlogHer, founded in 2005, is a network of over 2,500 female-centric blogs, a "curated selection of authentic voices," according to BlogHer's About page. BlogHer is also a community for female bloggers, where they can find support, help, and inspiration. And finally, BlogHer is a yearly conference, which this year was held in New York City, August 6 and 7." Next year it will be BlogHer'11 in San Diego There were panels all day and you could wander in and out. Design Sponge, Grace Paley, along with Gabrielle Blair of Design Mom and designer Alex Vega gave us the lowdown on Good Blog Design:The role of layout in an online medium - the room was packed. Did you know if you have Google Analytics you can 'heat map' your blog and see what readers are hitting on the most?
We all hit hard on the Hilton lunch buffet with lots of vegan choices - YUM
And two floors of BlogHer sponsors. Thank you P&G and Emily for the fab makeover...
Thank you Marmaduke for not messing my new hairdo...
Do you know Dianne Jacobs' blog? If food writing is your schtick go visit.
The updated edition has a new section for bloggers. My original copy was ripped in half to take to Paris, so I picked up the new one.
Thanks Dianne for reminding me I MUST create a separate 'About' page. So much to do post-BlogHer! Diane chaired the panel on How to use your blogging to make you a better writer.
In 2007 I wrote Elisa Camahort Page (one of BlogHer's founders and in the middle) requesting a panel for women online artists. I wrote again last October and Elisa was ready! So I got to speak on Transforming Online Spaces into Art Places, along with photographer-writer, Karen Walrond of Chookoolooks and performing artist Khadijah Ali-Coleman.
During our panel I met Jane Pollak, coach-author-artist of Soul Proprietor, 101 lessons from a lifestyle entrepreneur. I went racing after her to chat and she gave me her book. On the way home I opened to Lesson 56
"Go! You might meet somebody!"
Oh Jane, how did you know? Just the advice I need.
I'm so glad I went to BlogHer. I met and heard lots and lots of women tell their inspiring stories.
I met Libbydesign a PB fan.
Jo Packham of Where Women Create.
Vic DaChick of A Window into my life.
I met first year CIA student, Bekah of BeekEats.
Hi PBer, Cynthia of A shimmy in my spirit. Thanks for coming to the panel. I've got stacks more biz cards here :)

The "Pinecone Patchwork" derives its name from the longleaf pinecone, when looking at the bottom of a pinecone you can find this design. Our elders of the past and present weave these beautiful designs in quilts while hosting quilting bee's in their communities. Henry Berry Lowrey's daughter, Maggie hand made a quilt using the Pinecone Patchwork design. Hayes A. Locklear, artist and historian and Kat Littleturtle were inspired by the quilt and designed and made a southern style dress for Natasha Wagner a former Miss Indian World in 1993. Today our Lumbee Princesses wear the Pinecone Patchwork insignia on their traditional regalias during Pow-wows across the Nation. In 2000 Cyna's Jewelers fashioned the Pinecone Patchwork into contemporary jewelry with the idea that all people could wear a piece of Lumbee history. This beautiful design has become a symbol that has helped revitalize the rich heritage of the Lumbee people. Robeson County, North Carolina is the "Land of the Lumbee."
Preserving our heritage through our jewelry.

Toasted Coconut and Lime Layer Cake
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This cake is a melange of bits and pieces taken from other places. The first time I assembled it, the planets must have been aligned and Lady Luck deemed to smile my way. I wanted to make a coconut cake but needed a way to beat back its sweetness. I happen to have lime curd in the refrigerator and decided to use it to fill the cake. The next step was to find an icing that was compatible with coconut and lime. I found a lovely cream cheese frosting that was perfect once its taste was heightened with the addition of coconut extract. The frosted cake looked awfully white, so I decided to add color by toasting the coconut that is classically used to cover its surfaces. While the pros have nothing to fear, this cake has become a favorite of ours. I made it for this weekend because it is fairly easy to transport and does not need constant refrigeration. The layers are a cross between a sponge and a pound cake, so it is more dense than many of the layer cakes that are currently so popular. It can handle a little jostling without collapsing and spots can be covered with additional toasted coconut. The next time I make this, I plan to split the layers in order to use more of the lime curd I so love. I hope you'll try this cake. It really is quite lovely. Here's the recipe.
Toasted Coconut and Lime Layer Cake...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
Coconut Layer Cake courtesy of Bon Appetit
2-3/4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-3/4 cups sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup canned sweetened cream of coconut (such as Coco Lépez)*
4 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 cup buttermilk
To make layer cake:
1) Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 2-inch-high sides. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat sugar, butter and sweetened cream of coconut in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla and coconut extracts. On low speed, beat in dry ingredients and then buttermilk, each just until blended.
2) Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites with pinch of salt in another large bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold beaten egg whites into batter.
3) Divide cake batter between prepared pans. Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on rack 10 minutes. Run small sharp knife around pan sides to loosen cakes. Turn cakes out onto racks and cool completely. Yield: 10 to 12 servings.
Lime Curd Filling - recipe found HERE
Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting courtesy of One Perfect Bite
2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
2 to 3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
Place cream cheese in a medium bowl and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add butter and beat to blend. Add sugar and vanilla and coconut extracts and beat until well blended. Add drops of milk or cream, if needed, to make a spreadable consistency. Yield: 3 cups.
Final Assembly
2 cups toasted sweetened shredded coconut
Place 1 cake layer on cake plate. Spread 1 cup lime curd over cake layer. Top with second cake layer. Spread frosting over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle toasted coconut over cake, gently pressing into sides to adhere. The cake can be prepared 24 hours before serving. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours before serving.

Oh, it looks great, and I bet it tastes great too! To me coconut in deserts are synonymous to paradise- such I labeled one of my cakes I made way back in Moldova, where coconut used to be luxury in those days....and more layers would mean more curd, which would mean a greater, richer taste! Will try it.

sounds fabulous. I am a coconut freak, so I know I will like this. For my birthday, my daughter usually makes my all-time favorite cake for me--- a coconut layer cake, with fluffy white frosting, garnished with coconut. But this sounds like a nice change of pace...and toasted coconut is SO delish. Maybe it will be my request next birthday.
Thanks for sharing...I'll definitely be trying this.

Sergio Aragonés came to visit me one day to pitch an idea for a humorous comic book starring a funny, cheese-dip-loving barbarian character. Just one thing—he said he knew that Marvel had to "own everything," but he wanted to retain some small interest in the character. He knew Marvel had to own and control it, but he would like—he held his thumb and forefinger an inch apart—a little piece.
I told Sergio we could do better than that. No reason he couldn't own it lock, stock and cheese dip. Marvel would be perfectly willing to publish his comic book series under a normal, real world publishing agreement, that is, specified rights, all negotiable, for a specified term.
He didn't believe me. I introduced him to Publisher Mike Hobson. Mike assured him that I was empowered to make such a deal. We were willing to draw up a deal memo on the spot that Sergio could take to his legal advisors. Sergio said he had no time right then because he had an appointment somewhere else, after which he was going back to the Coast, but he'd be back in New York in two weeks.
A couple of weeks later, however, Pacific Comics announced that it was publishing a new comics series by Sergio Aragonés called Groo.
Not long after my meeting with Sergio, and completely independently, Frank Miller, Walt Simonson and Jim Starlin came to me in a group. They each wanted to do a non-work-for-hire series for Marvel. To create and produce titles to which they would retain the underlying rights.
I said, "Okay." I think I shocked them.
Why was everybody so surprised? I'd talked about Marvel publishing creator-owned work publicly, loudly and often ever since I'd started as Editor in Chief. And we were already publishing EPIC Illustrated. I guess they thought I was wishful thinking out loud or talking through my softball cap.
So, I took them all to see Mike Hobson. We agreed in principal on the spot.
First EPIC Interference
Straight from Mike's office I went to Archie Goodwin's office. I said, "Hey, Arch, I have a great idea. EPIC Comics! Regular monthly series but creator owned!"
He blew his top at me. Now, Archie, to my knowledge, never actually yelled at anyone, but he could get this edge, this tension in his slightly-raised voice that told you you'd better back off because he was five-foot-three, one hundred and forty pounds of razor-edged twisted steel.
The gist of what he growled was: Are you out of your mind? I don't have time for this! We (Mary Jo Duffy and he) are overworked as is! "Get rzzlefrzzlegrrr out of my honketyhoot room or frgglk die." Something like that.
I backed off.
Now what?
So, later I went to Al Milgrom and asked him if he's like to edit EPIC Comics. He was pleased as purple punch.
The next day, I'm sitting at my EIC desk dealing with one of the disasters du jour as usual. Archie came storming in, again, in full Archie-style fury.
The gist of what he growled was: Are you out of your mind? How the rzzlefrzzlegrrr DARE you give EPIC Comics to Milgrom?! EPIC is MY department! EPIC Comics are MINE! (Insert inarticulately snarled death threats and rude implications about my ancestry here.)
By the time he left my office, Archie had EPIC Comics back and the budget to hire a second assistant. And I had my life.
Milgrom was loathe to give up EPIC Comics peacefully. Especially since one of the first ones, Dreadstar, was going to be authored by his long-time buddy, Jim Starlin. But he cooperated, sort of. You'll notice that Milgrom shares editorial credit on the first issue of Dreadstar.
Second EPIC Interference
Sometime a couple of years later….
EPIC Comics were doing okay, but not setting the world on fire. They were a critical success and absolutely essential for Marvel's image. We needed to be a place where creators wanted to bring their ideas. And, I figured, sooner or later, an EPIC Comics title would take off, make some creator wealthy, and then the floodgates would open.
A few EPIC Comics were losing money. None were contributing much to the bottom line. Dreadstar was probably the most successful.
President Jim Galton spoke with me about possibly cancelling the line and devoting the resources to more profitable endeavors, say, another dozen X-Men titles. I told him EPIC Comics had something great, a big seller coming up, and secured a stay of execution.
So I went to Archie's office and proposed that we publish a limited series Frank Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz had been talking about doing—Elektra Assassin. If it came out through EPIC Comics, it could be grittier and edgier than if it had to bear a Code Seal and go on those "Hey, Kids! Comics!" spinner racks. Which would suit Frank.
(ASIDE: What else did those racks say? Something about "wholesome entertainment?")
Archie replied in full Archie-style fury.
The gist of what he growled was: Are you out of your mind? EPIC Comics are CREATOR OWNED! No rzzlefrzzlegrrr Marvel characters!
I started growling that unless we had a bestseller RIGHT AWAY there might not be any EPIC Comics any more. I was six-foot seven, two hundred and thirty-five pounds of rusty pencil sharpener blades.
He backed down.
I walked out with Archie's promise to contact Frank. And he had EPIC Comics' life.
The eight issue Elektra Assassin limited series sold over two million copies. While not creator owned, the contract was far more beneficial to the creators than the normal (and excellent, by the way) Marvel deal. Advance against royalties, more participations, a generous share of international revenues…and more.
That kept them going for a while.
Now this….
No Interference, But Righteous Wrath
Sometime before the Elektra drama, Sergio parted company with Pacific Comics, I believe because they were in the midst of the financial turmoil that led to the company's collapse. Sergio turned up on EPIC Comics doorstep, and was welcomed in. We began publishing Groo the Wanderer.
(NOTE: I never checked EPIC publications before they went to the separators. Never felt I had to, with Archie at the helm. The first time I read most EPIC books was when the printed copies came in.)
As I recall, the first page of the first EPIC Comics issue of Groo featured a cartoon of Sergio at his drawing board, speaking directly to the readers. I don't have a copy, so I'm doing this from memory, but Sergio was explaining that he had taken Groo elsewhere at first because Marvel wouldn't let him keep the rights to his creation, but now that Marvel had finally seen the light, he was happy to work with EPIC.
I was furious. It was probably the only time I ever spoke harsh words to Archie. How could he allow that? It was NOT TRUE, and in our OWN PUBLICATION we were giving credence to a LIE.
After I calmed down, I realized that Archie probably didn't know about my meeting with Sergio years earlier. Not his fault. Sorry Archie.
Sometime later, I ran into Sergio at a convention in Victoria, British Columbia.
Sergio and I had always been friendly. We, and other folks, occasionally got together for food or a beverage or three at cons or after work. He regaled us with his stories. He listened to ours. We got along. He even came to play volleyball with us in Central Park after work a few times when he was in town. Sergio and I always had a great deal of mutual respect. Still do.
But I was very unhappy about the Groo intro page and told him so. He wouldn't give me straight answers. He waffled around about it.
That told me it was probably the doing of his co-writer/assistant/whatever, Mark Evanier, either out of ignorance or spite.
Other than that, everything EPIC was pretty groovy.
A final aside, apropos of nothing. A few years ago I was sitting beside Sergio on a panel at the Baltimore Con. The panel was taking questions. Someone in the audience asked me if I was aware that, in terms of years of service, I was the eldest comic book writer still active. I said, that can't be. What about Sergio? Sergio said to me, "I started in 1967, my friend. When did you start?"
1965. It's been a long road.
NEXT: Superman, the Playboy Club, Decorating Higgins, the Secret Theater and other Strange Tales

The largest U.S.-based companies expanded their untaxed offshore stockpiles by $183 billion in the past year, increasing such holdings by 14.4 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc. and Google Inc. each added to their non-U.S. holdings by more than 34 percent as they reaped the benefits of past maneuvers to earn and park profits in low- tax countries. Combined, those three companies alone plan to keep $134.5 billion outside the U.S. government's reach, more than double the $59.3 billion they held two years earlier.
The build-up of offshore profits — totaling $1.46 trillion for the 83 companies examined — is increasing because of incentives in the U.S. tax code for booking profits offshore and leaving them there. The stockpiles complicate attempts to overhaul the tax system as lawmakers look for ways to bring the money home and discourage profit shifting.
"The corporate system is broken and it's broken primarily because of international law," said Edward Kleinbard, a tax law professor at the University of Southern California.
The ability to defer U.S. taxes until profits are brought home, the ease of shifting profits to low-tax countries and the world's highest statutory corporate rate have all contributed to the growing stockpiles outside the U.S.
A report last year by analysts at JPMorgan Chase & Co. estimated that all U.S.-based companies had $1.7 trillion in accumulated offshore profits. In the data compiled by Bloomberg, 83 companies had about 75 percent of last year's total, which suggests that the total for all companies now exceeds $1.9 trillion.
$108 Billion
General Electric Co. again leads all U.S. companies with $108 billion held offshore, up from $102 billion a year earlier. Pfizer Inc. is second with $73 billion, followed by Microsoft, Merck & Co., Johnson & Johnson and International Business Machines Corp. The data comes from companies' annual regulatory filings.
Eleven companies, including Apple, Cisco Systems Inc. and Citigroup Inc., have at least $40 billion in profits reinvested overseas, up from six companies that had crossed that mark last year and three the year before that.
The data compiled by Bloomberg examined 83 U.S.-based companies that each reported holding more than $4 billion in earnings outside the country indefinitely in one of the past two years.
Foreign Parents
It excluded companies such as Eaton Corp. Plc that now have foreign parents, and it also excluded United Technologies Corp., which disclosed a $22 billion balance this year and hadn't reported the numbers before then.
The analysis relies on the most recent filings for the companies. Those with fiscal years that end Dec. 31 filed their 10-Ks over the past few weeks.
Apple, whose stock has fallen 38.7 percent from its Sept. 19 closing high of $702.10, has been under pressure to return cash to investors in the form a dividend or buyback. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook has said the money isn't burning a hole in the company's pockets and that it's considering different strategies to reward investors with a new payout.
A reason for the overseas cash growth can be linked in part to Apple's performance. Sales in Asia, Europe and Australia rose 43.7 percent to $80.2 billion in fiscal 2012. Unlike most other U.S.-based companies, Apple has already taken accounting charges for eventual taxes on some of its unrepatriated foreign holdings and reports an associated deferred tax liability of $14.7 billion.
Cash Holdings
The company's permanently reinvested overseas earnings were $40.4 billion while its foreign cash holdings were $82.6 billion, as of Sept. 29, 2012.
Steve Dowling, a spokesman for Apple, declined to comment.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has asked some companies, including Google, to assert that they have enough liquidity in the U.S. to justify their contention that the offshore money will stay overseas indefinitely.
Google wrote in its annual filing that $31.4 billion, or 65.3 percent, of its liquid holdings were outside the U.S.
"Our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations," the filing said.
Niki Fenwick, a spokeswoman for Google, declined to comment.
Twelve of the 83 companies in the analysis reduced their offshore holdings from the previous year's level, including Exxon Mobil Corp., Las Vegas Sands Corp. and General Motors Co.
Vegas Sands
Las Vegas Sands in 2012, according to its filing, repatriated $1.37 billion tax-free because it had enough foreign tax credits. The company said it would consider future foreign earnings not to be indefinitely reinvested, and its total accumulated earnings declined to $4.3 billion from $5.6 billion the year before.
The U.S. operates what is known as a worldwide tax system, which means the country applies its 35 percent corporate tax rate to profits that U.S.-based companies earn around the world. Most other industrialized nations impose minimal taxes, if any, on their companies' foreign earnings.
U.S. companies receive foreign tax credits for payments to other countries, meaning that they can bring home previously taxed earnings with little residual tax owed to the U.S. They also can defer the U.S. tax until they bring the profits home.
"If you lowered the corporate tax rate, some of these problems, they don't go away, but they're reduced," said Rob Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a Washington-based group that promotes policies favoring technological innovation. The group's board includes executives from Microsoft, Apple, Cisco and Intel Corp.
Annual Filings
In their annual regulatory filings, companies are required to report foreign profits that haven't been repatriated and for which they haven't provided for U.S. taxes.
The balances aren't necessarily held in cash and may never realistically be subject to U.S. taxes, particularly if invested in physical assets in high-taxed foreign countries, said Susan Morse, a tax law professor at the University of California, Hastings.
"In many cases, it really is permanently reinvested and it's not an earnings management game," she said.
The incentive to accumulate overseas profits in cash is acute for technology and pharmaceutical companies that generate income from intangible assets such as patents. They can sell the patents to their foreign subsidiaries and then shift them to low-tax jurisdictions and book the profits there.
Intangible Income
"They're using the law to their advantage, as all companies do," Atkinson said. "And it's easier to do that with intangible income."
That pattern is evident from the filings of the minority of companies that disclose how much they would have to pay if they brought their offshore profits home.
Microsoft, for example, reported that it would owe $19.4 billion if it repatriated its $60.8 billion in offshore holdings. That 31.9 percent rate indicates that Microsoft has paid as little as 3.1 percent in foreign taxes, or somewhat more if the $19.4 billion includes state taxes and foreign withholding taxes.
In testimony before a Senate subcommittee last year, Bill Sample, Microsoft's corporate vice president for worldwide tax, said the U.S. tax system is "outdated," uncompetitive and provides disincentives for U.S. investment.
Global Business
"Microsoft's tax results follow from its business, which is fundamentally a global business that requires us to operate in foreign markets in order to compete and grow," he said. "In conducting our business at home and abroad, we abide by U.S. and foreign tax laws as written."
Citigroup reported that it would owe $11.5 billion if it repatriated its $42.6 billion, suggesting a foreign tax rate as low as 8 percent.
"More companies know how to do it," said Kleinbard, a former chief of staff of the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation who said international tax-avoidance techniques are spreading. "They've learned the technologies from the innovative leaders, the tax technology leaders."
U.S. lawmakers are examining changes to international taxation as part of a tax-code rewrite that would have to address the built-up earnings in a transition to a new system.
Senators Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, and Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican, said last month that they saw room for an international system that would lower the U.S. tax rate, let companies bring home new profits mostly tax-free and limit companies' ability to move profits out of the U.S.
Enzi, Camp
That would mirror the proposals offered by Senator Mike Enzi, a Wyoming Republican, and Representative Dave Camp, a Michigan Republican and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Camp's proposal would impose a 5.25 percent tax on the accumulated earnings, whether repatriated or not, payable over eight years.
That plan, released in 2011, will eventually be part of a tax code overhaul that Camp plans to push through his committee this year. Meanwhile, the offshore stockpiles keep expanding.
"It is definitely symptomatic," Morse said, "of companies' incentive to keep offshore profits offshore."

- For information about setting up conversions in Google Analytics 4, go to [GA4] How to set up a conversion in Google Analytics 4.
- For information about creating and modifying conversion events in Google Analytics 4, go to [GA4] Create or modify conversion events.
- For information about how to mark a user interaction as a conversion event in Google Analytics 4, go to [GA4] Mark events as conversions.
You need the Editor role at the view level to perform the tasks or use the features described in this article.
Create a new goal
Navigate to your goals:
- Sign in to Google Analytics.
- Click Admin, and navigate to the desired view.
- In the VIEW column, click Goals.
- Click + NEW GOAL or Import from Gallery to create a new goal, or click an existing goal to edit its configuration.
Note: If + NEW GOAL and Import from Gallery are not visible, then you have already created the maximum of 20 goals for the current view.
You have 3 basic options for creating goals:
- using a goal template
- creating custom goals
- creating Smart Goals
Option 1: Goals from a template
Follow the steps to create a new goal (above), then:
- Select a Template from the list.
- Click Next step to continue setting up your goal.
Goal templates are designed to help you set actionable goals that meet standard business objectives. You can edit any template field before saving a goal. The goal categories (Revenue, Acquisition, Inquiry, Engagement) are the larger business objectives that motivate the goal templates. Use them as an organization tool to help you think about the purpose of your goals. Try to create at least one goal for each category to get a better understanding of how users interact with your content. These categories don't affect any data or your reports.
Don't see any templates? Goal templates are tailored to meet the needs of businesses within specific industries (automotive, entertainment, etc.). Templates are disabled if you haven't selected an industry within your account. To get templates that are relevant to your business, edit your property, select an Industry Category, and save your changes.
Option 2: Custom goals
Follow the steps to create a new goal (above), then:
- Select Custom from the list of options.
- Click Next step, then select a goal Type.
- Click Next step again to continue setting up your goal.
See the Goal types section below for more information about setting up custom goals.
Option 3: Smart Goals
If your account meets the prerequisites, you will have the option to select Smart Goals. Follow the steps to create a new goal (above), then:
- Select Smart Goals (if available).
- Click Next step to continue setting up your goal.
Goal configuration options
Goal types
As described in About goals, there are a number of different goal types, each used for a different kind of action you can measure. If you use a template, the best fit will be suggested for you. If you set up a custom goal, select the type that best fits the action you need to track. Expand the sections below to learn more about the details of each goal type.
Destination goal detailsUse destination goals to treat a pageview or screenview as a conversion. Enter the screen name or page URL in the Destination field. Specify the match type as Equals to, Begins with, or Regular expression.
A funnel refers to the path your users take to reach a particular destination. You can specify the screens or pages the user must visit prior to the final destination goal by turning on the Funnel option. For each step in the funnel, click +Add another Step, then enter a page name or an app screen name, as you did in the Destination field.
The funnel steps use the same match type as the Destination. For example, if you specified a regular expression for the Destination, all the funnel steps must match that same expression.
Measure user engagement by treating minimum session duration as a conversion. The Hours, Minutes and Seconds fields specify the minimum session time that qualifies as a goal conversion. Any session longer than this amount of time will generate a conversion..
Treat user interactions with your site or app as a conversion. You must first set up at least one Event to use Event goals. Use the Event conditions to configure the event components. Learn more about Events.
Measure user engagement by treating the number of pages or screens per session as a goal. Users who view more than the specified number of pages or screens will generate a conversion.
Set up Smart Goals
Smart Goals require no additional set up. If your account meets the prerequisites, all you need to do is select Smart Goals from the goal Types list and then give your goal a name. (That's why we called them "Smart Goals!")
Goal value
Assigning a monetary value to a goal gives you a way to compare conversions and measure changes and improvements to your site or app. All goal types except Smart Goals let you assign a value during the setup process. There are special considerations when setting up an Event goal or a goal that involves Ecommerce Tracking. Expand the sections below to see these considerations.
Values for Event goalsThere are two ways to set the goal value for an Event type goal:
- Use the Event value as the goal value. This will be whatever is defined in your Event tracking code as the value. Depending on your setup, this might not be a monetary amount. If you haven't defined an Event value, the goal value will be empty. Change the goal value option to YES in the setup for this configuration.
- Use a goal value. This works like setting a value for other types of goals. Keep the goal value option to NO in the setup for this configuration, and manually set the value.
If have a goal that you're also tracking as a transaction or purchase with the Ecommerce Tracking code, leave the Goal Value blank.
The value of the transaction will come from the Ecommerce tracking code in your shopping cart.
Information about the goal (e.g., goal completions, funnel steps, the number of sessions in which the goal was completed) will appear in the Goal reports.
You can change the currency unit for the goal Value in your view settings.
Verify your goal
Click Verify this goal to test your goal setup. This will calculate a conversion rate for this goal based on your data from the past 7 days.
This test is based on data in your account, and not actual conversion data. It is not a projection of how well your goal will perform.
Revise or Edit a goal
You can revise a goal you are in the process of defining by clicking the Edit link next to a previous step.
To edit an existing goal, navigate to the goals list and click the goal name to follow the step by step flow again.
How do I find my goals?Navigate to your goals:
- Sign in to Google Analytics.
- Click Admin, and navigate to the desired view.
- In the VIEW column, click Goals.
- Click an existing goal's name to edit its configuration.
Recording status
As soon as you create a goal, it starts recording data. You can pause a goal by changing the recording status to OFF. No data is recorded for a goal when turned off.
To change a goal's recording status:
Because goal conversions are calculated and applied as your data is processed, it is not possible to delete a goal. If one of your goals becomes obsolete or irrelevant, turn off recording instead.
- Navigate to your goals.
- Locate the goal you wish to change.
- Turn the Recording toggle ON or OFF.
Share and import goals
After you have created and saved a goal, you can share it with other Analytics users, just as you can other assets, such as Dashboards, Segments, Channel Groupings, etc. To share a goal:
When you share assets, only the configuration information is shared. Your data remains private.
Learn more about sharing assets.
Importing goals from the Solutions Gallery
Instead of creating your own goals, you can import them from the Solutions Gallery. When you import an goal from the Solutions Gallery, only the template is imported into your account. You can use that goal to track the conversions in your Analytics account, not the conversion data from the person that created the goal.
Learn more about the Solutions Gallery.
Troubleshoot issues with goals
If you're having issues with how your goals are set up, use the goal-setup troubleshooter to identify and resolve issues.
If you're having issues with discrepancies in goals, transactions, and Google Ads conversions, use the discrepancies troubleshooter to identify and resolve issues.

The child with a terminal illness has the same need for love, emotional support, and normal activities as any person facing death. Love, respect, and dignity are all important factors in caring for a dying child. Consider these psychosocial needs of the dying child:
Time to be a child. Engage in age-appropriate activities and play for children.
Communication/listening/expression of fears or anger. The child should have someone they can talk to about his or her fears, joys, or anger. Being alone at the time of death is a common fear for dying children. Listening to them is the most important way to help. Accepting that the child doesn't want to talk about dying is also important. The parents' needs may often be greater and they should seek out someone they can talk to. If "big" issues are not discussed, we should never underestimate the importance of a nonjudgmental and caring presence.
Depression and withdrawal. Independence and control need to be given to the dying teen whenever possible. Many physical changes that happen before death can make the child very dependent for even simple tasks. Loss of control and depression may cause withdrawal. It is important to validate these feelings without forcing communication.
Spiritual needs. Respect and provide for spiritual and cultural needs. Rituals allowing the child and his or her family to remember, giving thanks and expressing gratitude, and saying goodbye are all ways to honor the transition from getting well to letting go or dying. What and how much to tell a child is dependent on the culture and ethnic background of the family.
Wish fulfillment. Some organizations provide funding for a "wish" for seriously and/or terminally ill children. If possible, help the child decide what they would most like to do before they die. A shopping spree, Disney World, a new computer, or meeting a famous star are examples of children's "wishes." These wishes often create wonderful memories for families of children with a terminal illness.
Permission from loved ones to die. Some children seem to need "permission" to die. Many children fear their death will hurt their parents and leaving them behind will make them very sad. It has been observed that children will cling to life through pain and suffering until they get "permission" from their parents to die. This has been described in the dying adult, as well. Sometimes, parents are not always the best people to give this permission. Someone close to both the parents and the child may be more appropriate.
Comfort in knowing they are not alone in the dying process. The dying child most often wants reassurance that he or she will not die alone and that he or she will be missed. Parents and loved ones need to comfort the child and tell him or her that, when death happens, they will be right at the bedside. This is often a difficult promise to keep, but every effort should be made to be holding or touching the child when he or she dies. The presence at death benefits both caregivers and the child.
Limit setting. Parents need to continue setting appropriate limits on a child's behavior and not let their guilt or grief influence their normal parenting. If not, the consequence can be children becoming or feeling out of control.
