A friend of mine recently sent me an article on Obama and McCain Tax Proposals. The article shows that while McCain offers a $269,364 tax cut, Obama would raise the taxes, on average, by $701,885 - a difference of nearly $1 million. Check out the image below to see exactly what i’m saying…

A press release from the Greens with a quote from MEP Caroline Lucas, concerning a Green Party policy idea to replace road tax with increased taxes on petrol.

Art, Fact, and Artifact: The Book in Time and PlaceJanuary 8-10, 2009hosted by the University of Iowa Center for the BookThe art of the book has been at once visionary and documentary, imagining a future that has yet to exist while finding inspiration from the resources of the past. The first biennial conference of the College Book Art Association seeks to bridge the worlds of book art, book history, cultural criticism, and curatorial work through appreciation of the book as an aesthetic sensorium. Scholarship, artistic practice, and the digital age have evoked for us the multimedia nature of the book experience. Animated by practices that define anew the cultural record, contemporary book creators unsettle the categories whereby art is valued and appreciated, making new objects that expre

There are only about a dozen electric cars licensed to travel on British Columbia’s roads. Ernie and Elvena Slump of Penticton own one of them. Although the vehicles are seen by some as a way to become more carbon-neutral, the Lower Mainland company that makes them - Dynasty Electric Car Co. - says proposed new government regulations will completely dry up an already small market. In fact, Dynasty has been sold to a company that is moving the entire operation to Pakistan to build electric cars for the U.S. market. The Slumps have owned two different electric cars over the past three years. Their current model was manufactured by Dynasty at its plant on Annacis Island, near New Westminster. Dynasty has manufactured about 200 electric cars since 2001 in a pilot production project after

Gold prices correctly shrugged off the announcement of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that wants to sell 403.3 tons of gold, worth some $11 billion, to cover annual losses of $400 million. While this transaction appears arithmetically strange from the outset, the idea is not exactly new. Like the Loch Ness monster IMF gold sales have been a reliable page filler in the past couple of years.A Google search for "IMF gold sales 2007" lists 77,100 documents and leads to Doug Casey's treatment of yesteryear's idea of the IMF. Casey could simply copy his 2007 item into this year's list of columns and he would not have missed any important beat. As in 2008 the IMF proposed a drawn out sale of 400 tons of gold in 2007 too.The long story does not stop here. Combining the same search terms wit

Problem: Many homeowners are trapped by declining home values, prepayment penalties and high variable interest rates.Proposal: The Emergency Home Ownership and Mortgage Equity Protection Act would allow bankruptcy judges to modify the terms of a mortgage loan to strip out prepayment penalties, high interest rates and other fees and charges. Judges also could reduce the principal amount to the actual present value of the home. Current law already allows modifications to payments on second homes; the bill would extend that to primary residences.

The development proposals for 425 new houses and a business area on the Factory Lane site at Vernon Carus in Penwortham are currently in the public domain and will be submitted for Planning Permission over the coming weeks (possibly in the same or amended form from the current plans).The good news is that the developers are promising to ensure the long-term survival of the Vernon Carus sports pitches.The bad news is that the development is NOT JUST proposed for the factory site itself but extends back behind the factory right across the south of the site to Leyland Road at the Sumpter Horse (which will be demolished to make way for a roundabout and access road and further developments) and to The Cawsey at the old gas works.In fact, by far the larger part of the development will obliterate

The Board of Investment (BoI) today will consider eco-car projects proposed by the Japanese automotive giants Suzuki Motors Corporation and Nissan, according to a senior BoI official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Suzuki has proposed spending 9.5 billion baht to build a new plant in Rayong province for eco-cars with completely knocked-down (CKD) kit parts. It will have an annual capacity of 138,000 units and begin operations in 2010. Nissan would invest 5.5 billion baht through subsidiary Siam Nissan Automobile to build more facilities and equipment for eco-car production at its assembly plant in Samut Prakan, as well as a CKD production unit.

Dissertation proposals are the stepping stone to entering the arena of research work. It is the first formal written representation of the work that a masters graduate is proposing to undertake with a view to opening up a new area for development in his chosen field. Its importance lies in its persuasive powers. So it must be convincing enough to excite interest in the future research to be undertaken. By definition such a proposition is a statement of intent; that is a forceful stating of the idea of research along with the logic and feasibility of doing such work. This extremely delicate work of writing is one of the most difficult that a prospective scholar or researcher faces. There is very little guidance available to him and he has to depend primarily on his personal resources and understanding. The situation can be quite daunting and often it frightens students more than the subsequent work he undertakes. The primary problem lies in the fact that he does not know what to wri

Cool response to Bush plan on Capitol Hill, where rival measures are already pendingThe Bush administration presented its plan to beef up product safety today, one week after a Senate committee passed a bill that would give the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) more power and money.But on Capitol Hill, there were complaints that Bush had omitted the most important part of the proposal: funding."I am pleased the President finally recognizes the threat of tainted imports to consumers," said Rep. John D. Dingell, Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce. "Unfortunately, there is little new information in today's announcement. In fact, the critical issue of funding is curiously absent from the proposal."Noting that Congress is already considering legislation to provide increased funding and authority to the CPSC and other agencies, Dingell said his committee would soon hold hearings on Bush's proposals "to determine whether they respond to the problems our Committee

Call for Panel and Paper Proposals: IEEE International Professional Communication Conference 2008 (IPCC 2008)Conference Theme: Opening the Information EconomyConference Location: Concordia University, Montréal, CanadaConference Dates: July 13-16, 2008The information economy is based on the collection and the exchange of data and ideas. We all either contribute to or use materials from the information economy in most aspects of our everyday lives. As a result, the information economy exists as an environment in which we are all contributors and consumers. Within this system, effective communication is essential to success, allowing individuals to contribute ideas and information effectively and to make efficient use of the goods and services. Few of us, however, understand all of the nuances of the information economy or the communication factors that affect its operations.This conference seeks to examine or to "open" this economic model by examining the connections between communicati

OverviewThe term social computing is used regularly to describe research projects, technology systems, conference sessions, and even research groups, but what are the research questions and strategies that will help move forward a deep understand of social computing?The commonalities - the causes, effects, and motivations- in the human and technological factors underlying social computing systems are the big issues we are searching for with this workshop. Social psychological processes of online groups, crowd behavior in large online forums, social organization structures in online games, identity and deception in online dating sites, and creating and enforcing norms in media-poor environments are examples of work in this purview.How can we pull together a research effort effective and large scale enough to really address these and similar phenomena?Attempting to identify and define research directions in social computing implies a somewhat larger goal, which is to take a step toward s

by Joe CarrollShareholders of Exxon Mobil Corp., the world's largest oil company, rejected a resolution calling on the company to cut greenhouse gases and voted to retain director Michael Boskin. A proposal for Exxon Mobil to develop a plan to reduce emissions from its refineries and the fuels it makes received 31 percent in balloting at the company's annual meeting in Dallas. Initiatives to cap pay for top executives, including Chief Executive Officer Rex Tillerson, at $500,000 a year and increase investment in ethanol got less than 8 percent of votes. Boskin, chairman of the board committee that deals with environmental issues, survived a challenge by an investor group that included the California Public Employees' Retirement System, the largest U.S. pension fund. Other holders said Boskin deserved support after the company's shares jumped 36 percent last year, the stock's biggest annual gain since 1980. ``We're very happy w

In thinking about our country’s situation, where we are headed, and what can be done to fix our obvious problems, it is time to go beyond the timid ideas of the current presidential hopefuls. We need more basic solutions, on the federal, state, and local levels. The ill-conceived and horribly mismanaged war in Iraq must prompt us to reconsider foreign and military policy in general. At home, anyone who has ever had to fill out endless forms for medical insurance, let alone suffer the disasters that afflict the 46 million Americans without insurance, knows that numerous aspects of our health care policy are simply broken. We have no serious energy policy. Poverty is increasing, not disappearing, and we have no policy on illegal immigration. The middle class and the poor have lost considerable ground over the past several decades. It is appropriate, morally correct, and necessary to redistribute some of the astonishing wealth accumulated by the upper classes of the U.S. No one has the

Strange proposalsRight before moving to London I met a an English guy and saw him once or twice in a few parties, chatted a little, didn’t know him much but thought he was nice, and that’s about it. Apart from my good friends, I kind of left behind a drastically different lifestyle to move on and come to Britain, even though I had an amazing year. One day I chat with this same guy, he was curious about what I was up to, and was telling me that he was coming to the UK to spend a week-end with his girlfriend. They’re both from Nottingham and decided to take a couple days off in London together. He said he would maybe give me a call to meet up and have a drink somewhere. Then he started to ask me strange questions like “do you have a boyfriend at the moment?”- No. “So are you the serious type when it comes to being in a relationship? – Um, it depends, but usually I like sticking to one person only. Although when I’m single I wouldn’t mind a one night stand. “Oh really?
