I've seen (previous home office) deductions of anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000.

Most home-based business owners already qualify for the standard home office [tax] deduction. This new tax break is really going to impact the professionals who meet clients outside their home, but aren't able to do administrative work, such as billing and scheduling, elsewhere.

That is not insignificant. But it isn't enough to dislodge traditional video services such as home video rentals, box office and traditional TV watching, because you only have 25 percent of the American TV households capable of doing it.

I don't like to be disturbed at home; I tell the cable office not to call me before 6:30 AM, unless there's a war.

The Home Office did not think it necessary to give a single word of explanation to those individuals as to why this morning they can be safely deported to their respective countries of origin when last night they could not. If there are 'memoranda of understanding' between this country and the brutal regimes from which they have fled, those have not been provided to those men or to us.

Of course the detention and the threat to seize the pastor's home are not pleasant. But unfortunately our Office cannot currently intervene in legal cases.
