| Canada Proposes Expanding Censorship for Film Tax Credit Recipients | | 2008-06-05 23:00:00 | | A few days ago we wrote about some of the reasons why film tax credits are poor tax policy. They are corporate welfare for a profitable industry, they almost never weigh costs and benefits after enactment, they distort economic behavior, and they paper over deeper business tax climate problems. We also mentioned censorship—Canada has started vetting movies financed with film tax credits and other subsidies. The recent proposal to expand this censorship in Canada (spearheaded by the Minister of Heritage) has caused an uproar:The mayors of Canada's largest cities say their economies would take a major blow if the federal government is allowed to deny tax credits to film and TV productions it deems too violent or pornographic. "We share a concern. That concern is about our economy," Toronto Mayor David Miller, who was speaking on behalf of the mayors, told the Senate banking committee yesterday."But it is also about Canadians' continued ability to tell our own stories | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |
| | Volkswagen Golf TDI Hybrid Concept expanding battery cooperation with Sanyo | | 2008-05-29 08:02:00 | | Volkswagen Group CEO Martin Winterkorn has announced that the company will be partnering with Sanyo to further develop lithium ion batteries for automotive applications. Earlier this month, the group's Audi division announced that it would use Sanyo's nickel metal hydride batteries in upcoming Q7 hybrid. This agreement goes beyond that with the focus being on lithium for both hybrid and all electric vehicles. In the past nine months, VW has shown two concepts using lithium ion batteries, the A1 project Quattro and the Golf TDI Hybrid. Volkswagen's target is to get a lithium ion battery hybrid to market by 2010. That time line is also likely to be when the first VW/Audi hybrids start coming to the U.S. market. When I spoke to Audi engineers in Europe last month, they indicated that they didn't plan launch a U.S. market hybrid until they could do a lithium ion battery. Eventually the VW Group plans to introduce full battery electric vehicles, probably powered by Sanyo lithium batteries.V | | By: Autoshows | | |

| Sony Ericsson is Expanding G Series With a New Sony Ericsson G502 | | 2008-04-22 03:39:00 | | Tomorrow (On the 23rd of April), Sony Ericsson will be announcing a new handset from G line, early known as "Emelie" - Sony Ericsson G502...It's strange, but the upcoming G502 is not a smartphone. I thought that the next handset from G series would be featuring some "smart" possibilities, but no! Unfortunately, Sony Ericsson G502 is yet another mid-end mobile phone, working on A2 software platform...So, it looks like that the upcoming device from G series is made in a "Candybar" form-factor (Housing reminds Sony Ericsson K530i) and will have a standard 262K TFT display with a 240x320 resolution. It will be equipped with a 2MP camera and built-in memory will be up to 32MB and will support Memory Stick Micro (M2) cards. G502 will also support Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and USB 2.0 for cable connectivity.With Tri-Band GSM/EDGE connectivity, Sony Ericsson G502 is 3G-enabled and will be provide HSDPA for fast data transfer speeds and will come with pre-installed NetFront web browser and GoogleM | | By: Sony Ericsson Blog | | |

In the past decade, several authors have written books to articulate this feeling and to begin the move towards a second synthesis. In the past decade, several authors have written books to articulate this feeling......I framed the debate in terms of the integration of development, environment and genetics by articulating the concept of "developmental reaction norms"......Jablonka and Lamb provide a framework that includes not one but four sources of inheritance in living organisms: there is the standard genetic one, based on nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA; there are epigenetic in | | By: Evolution Research - Main Blog | | |
