Following WWII, Franco Simonini and his wife Margherita collaborated closely with the University of Bologna in a bid to identify the best clones of the noble variety prevalent in the area, Grasparossa di Castelvetro. After much experimentation, he succeeded in isolating a clone of Grasparossa which, years later, his nephew Francesco Gibellini – who now runs the company with his uncle Massimo – discovered to be unique among the range of clones registered with the Experimental Institute for Viticulture. Growing from an estate with only 2.5 acres to the 35 acres estate it is today, Pederzana remains focused on preserving its ancient strain of Grasparossa grafted onto Golia rootstock in Guyot-trained vineyards. The vineyards have the ideal conditions for cultivating Grasparossa with rich aromas and excellent polyphenol levels.
The terroir and microclimate of Pederzana are singular. Sunlight bathes the estate in the valley of Solignano Vecchio from the early morning onwards and it benefits from very cool air currents that create the ideal temperature fluctuation between day and night for the successful ripening of Grasparossa's aromas and polyphenols. The clayey soil allows the vines to cope well even for quite long periods without any rain, and the constant ventilation means that the vegetation always remains dry. The vineyards are divided into two main zones: One just below the winery with south-easterly exposure and the other facing due east. This results in different ripening times and the development of varied characteristics within the Grasparossa that, ultimately, result in a richer blend for the final wines. Harvesting at Pederzana takes place entirely by hand in order to carefully select the ripest and healthiest parcels of grapes.

Afghanistan: Kabul attack only increases need for Turkish military presence, says official
Ankara believes it must station forces in the capital to operate the airport and prevent a refugee wave into Turkey
A Taliban fighter at the site of the suicide bombs which killed hundreds of people at Kabul airport on Thursday, including 13 US troops, 27 August 2021 (AFP)
Published date: 27 August 2021 13:09 UTC | Last update: 4 months 3 weeks ago
Turkey believes the deadly suicide bombing outside Kabul airport on Thursday has only emboldened its argument to the Taliban that sizable Turkish forces are needed to protect the area in order that the airport can operate smoothly.
Turkey had mostly evacuated its military forces from Kabul airport before the attack, which claimed the lives of at least 110 civilians and 13 US service personnel.
On Wednesday, Turkey decided to withdraw its troops from the airport, after talks with the Taliban leadership failed to produce a deal that would see Ankara continue to station soldiers in Afghanistan following the US pull-out, as it had wished. For weeks, Turkey has been exploring the possibility of securing Kabul airport once US troops left.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that Turkish and Taliban officials, with the attendance of ambassador Cihad Erginay, tried to reach an understanding on the issue in a Kabul meeting earlier this week, which lasted for three and a half hours.
Afghanistan: With Taliban in power, Iran and Gulf states will vie for influence
"The Taliban offered to provide security but asked us to operate the airport," he said. "We haven't made a decision on this, because it is possible to see death everywhere in every moment over there."
Erdogan said if Turkey had been involved in running the airport and if people died, this could have been associated with the Republic of Turkey's name.
A senior Turkish official told Middle East Eye that Turkey is still interested in securing the airport, but the deadly attack showed that even running the civilian operations wasn't possible without sound security.
"The Taliban says it can secure the area, but they don't have a proper and professional security team. They only have fighters who hold rifles," the official said.
"This attack is proof that it would be extremely risky to carry on activities in the airport without the presence of the Turkish military and security personnel. And it only strengthened our core argument."
Turkey continues to keep its embassy in Kabul open, and hasn't evacuated the core of its diplomatic staff, including the ambassador. However, Turkish officials also left a number of special forces in Kabul to protect the embassy, and retain special forces in Islamabad for possible contingencies.
For the past few years, Turkey has been guarding the airport's military section against external attacks. Earlier this summer, Ankara was close to striking a deal with the US to continue the mission - but a sweeping Taliban takeover of the country has changed the circumstances dramatically.
'Without our presence on the ground in Afghanistan, it is hard to foresee an easy way to stop the new waves of refugees'
- Turkish official
Turkish officials have explored ways to maintain their presence in the country by negotiating with the Taliban, in a bid to protect Turkish commercial and political interests.
The official said the presence of Turkish soldiers at Kabul airport could continue to facilitate foreign aid and investment into the country during the transition period, and ensure relative stability in the city.
In recent weeks, the Turkish opposition has piled pressure on the government to do more to stop the arrival of Afghans in Turkey, which hosts around 5 million refugees.
"Without our presence on the ground in Afghanistan, it is hard to foresee an easy way to stop the new waves of refugees," said the official.
Erdogan said there are currently 300,000 Afghans in the country, more than half of them registered.

The Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General (HHS OIG) has recently created a new web page detailing some of the actions that have been taken to improve cybersecurity within the HSS as part of its efforts to improve transparency of its cybersecurity activities.
The new cybersecurity-focused web page will be regularly updated to include details of cybersecurity activities that have positively affected HHS programs and have helped strengthen the cybersecurity defenses, including reports of its audits, evaluations, and inspections of its offices and agencies that HHS OIG oversees.
On the new web page, HHS OIG explains that it currently uses a three-pronged approach to safeguard data and the systems on which those data are stored. They are IT security controls, risk management, and resiliency.
IT security controls are technological and procedural controls that protect against vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and systems. Risk management is proactively identifying risks and threats and taking action to reduce those risks to a reasonable and acceptable level. Resiliency is the development of policies and procedures for incident response that will ensure it is possible to recover quickly from a cyberattack.
HHS OIG explained it has formed multidisciplinary cybersecurity team that applies those three principles to the various offices within the HHS and agencies that it oversees. The team consists of auditors, investigators, evaluators, attorneys and other industry stakeholders who are focused on fostering enhancements in IT security controls, risk management, and resiliency to cyberattacks.
Independent IT and cybersecurity audits of HHS programs, grantees, and contractors are conducted by the OIG Office of Audit Services, Cybersecurity and Information Technology Audit Division. The audits identify risks and threats to data to allow action to be taken to prevent cyberattacks.
Broad evaluations of HHS cybersecurity-related programs are conducted by the Office of Evaluation and Inspections, expert legal support for OIG cybersecurity work is provided by the HHS OIG Office of Counsel, and criminal investigations into incidents and allegations that affect HHS programs are conducted by the HHS OIG Office of Investigations, Computer Crimes Unit, in particular, violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
Reports of HHS OIG activities have already been uploaded to the web page dating back to 2016 and, at launch, there are four reports of cybersecurity-related activities from 2018: A review of Medicare contractor information security program evaluations; A review of HHS compliance with FISMA; A report on an audit of the CMS enrollment system; and a report on a study of the FDA's review of cybersecurity in premarket submissions for networked medical devices.

JCCA President's Report
by Lorene Oikawa · April 24, 2016
Time flies and I don't just mean the one hour we moved forward. A year has passed since I was elected to be president of the Greater Vancouver Japanese Canadian Citizens' Association (GVJCCA), and I am honoured now, as I was then, to have your support and to be able to have the opportunity to work with an amazing group of people including the board, the committees, The Bulletin-Geppo editors, and all of our volunteers. I also appreciate the opportunity to work for all of you, our members.
As I start my second term, we are looking forward to completing a number of projects including the publication of a book, based on the internment stories from our Honouring Our People conference with survivors and their families, an updated human rights guide, and a new website for the GVJCCA.
At a visioning session held earlier this year, the board reviewed the work we do including on education; sharing Japanese Canadian history; producing The Bulletin-Geppo; providing social supports and advocacy; working on human rights and social justice; speaking out for Japanese Canadians and being a lead for other organizations; and being an ally to Aboriginal peoples. Our work which emanates from our purpose, goals, and vision informed our mission statement. "The GVJCCA is a non-profit organization that builds communities, and advocates for social justice primarily for people in Canada of Japanese heritage, and their families."
Leading a non-profit society provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the community and work with the community. There is also the unique challenge of fundraising to keep our work going.
We have been fortunate to have tremendous support and we look forward to that continued support. We wrapped up another successful Bowl-a-thon in February, and we are already planning ahead for our third annual Bowl-a-thon in February, 2017. On June 12th, the GVJCCA and Tonari Gumi team up for our annual golf tournament. On July 30th and 31st, we will have our delicious wild salmon barbeque and musubi food booth at the 40th Powell Street Festival. All of the funds we raise from donations and events go directly to the running of the GVJCCA and the production of The Bulletin-Geppo.
In May, we will celebrate Asian Heritage Month, and this year all eyes are on the Japanese Canadian community. The Asian Heritage Month Society chooses a community to focus on each year and it's our turn to highlight our arts, culture, music, food, and the creative talents in our community. Look for the explorASIAN programme guide coming out later this month which will list events from a range of Asian communities. Also, you can check out the events which will be featured in The Bulletin-Geppo.
Mark your calendars for the Asian Heritage Month opening at 10am on Saturday, April 16th at SFU Downtown. It's free for all. On June 11, the Recognition Gala, a major fundraiser for the Asian Heritage Month Society, will be held at Nikkei Place.
During the month of May, the GVJCCA will be popping in to support some of the events put on by Japanese Canadian and other Asian organizations, and we will also be busy organizing two of our own events.
On May 7th, join Vancouver City Councillor Geoff Meggs and me for a history walking tour in the Powell Street district around Oppenheimer Park. Geoff and I will be talking about the history of Japanese Canadians, their work in the district, and the role of the labour movement during those times.
Please also attend The Legacy of Redress Forum which takes place on May 14th at Nikkei Place. We will be looking at the forced relocation of 22,000 Canadians of Japanese ancestry from the BC coast, and how past injustices are acknowledged such as the provincial government's apology to Japanese Canadians in 2012. We are inviting survivors and their families to offer their ideas for what reconciliation should look like.
We had our AGM last month and it gave us the chance to welcome our nominees to the board and share a little bit about the work we've done, and what to expect in the coming year. Besides myself who is returning as president, we have the following board directors who are returning: Chika Buston, Judy Hanazawa, Gary Matson, Yuji Matson, Jack Matsushita, Susanne Tabata, and Grace Eiko Thomson. We bid farewell to board directors Angela Kruger, Rachael Nakamura, Rutsu Shikano, and Kathy Shimizu. In addition to their director duties, Angela and Rachael did a tremendous job with taking the lead for the Japanese Canadian Young Leaders Vancouver committee. Rutsu helped with our Bowl-a-thon as well as managing our phone messages. Kathy did an outstanding job with our administration, helping with our events, and generally filling in wherever we needed her. They are truly dedicated people who will be moving on to new challenges and we will miss them. However, their spirit of giving will continue, and in the case of Kathy with the assistance of Angela and former board director May Hamanishi, we owe them additional thanks as they will continue to help us with some administrative duties for a while. Our volunteers are amazing!
Every year we mark March 21st International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination to raise awareness and to call out for the end to racism. Racial discrimination doesn't happen just one day each year, and we must work together every day to speak out. It's one of the reasons why the work of the GVJCCA is so important. We are sharing the history of Canadians of Japanese ancestry to remember, learn, and foster understanding. Our history is used to promote welcoming, safe, and inclusive communities for all. We must use education and history to stop the racial discrimination and racism that happens today.

Is CVD Equipment (CVV) a Graphene Investment?
In an earlier article, we discussed an amazing material called graphene and looked at several companies that have been said to provide exposure to the graphene story; Graftech and Graphene Nanochem. One other company that is discussed as a play on graphene is CVD Equipment, a company that offers a range of chemical vapor deposition and gas control equipment.
Founded in 1982, New York-based CVD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ:CVV) has 180 employees and a current market cap of 72 million. Revenues for the past five years are seen below:
With 8 consecutive years of profitability, the company has provided shareholders with a return of over +180% in the past 5 years. The decrease in revenue and backlog for 2012 is mainly attributed to the disruption caused by their move into a larger production facility. The company provides a revenue breakdown between their CVD and Gas Control divisions which represent about 80% and 20% of total revenues respectively.
What is Chemical Vapor Deposition?
Chemical Vapor Deposition or CVD is a method of applying a very thin layer of material on to a surface. For example, a company we highlighted earlier, P2i, uses this method to apply their nano polymer to shoes, phones, and many other products to make them waterproof. CVD has applications in coatings, semiconductors, solar cells, nanomaterials, LEDs, and many more. In 2008/2009 CVD was first used to produce graphene.
CVD Equipment and Graphene
In 2005, the Company acquired FirstNano giving them turn-key CVD systems for nanotechnology, solar, semiconductor and MEMS applications. Through this subsidiary, CVD offers the following products and services related to Graphene:
CVDGraphene™ Services
A fully equipped application lab that can be rented and comes with scientists for an additional fee. The lab is currently being used by several startups as an incubator of sorts.
CVDGraphene™ Materials
The Company offers several "starting" graphene products that are suitable for initial R&D applications and IP developments as a low-cost starting point for academic researchers and exploration R&D projects.
CVDGraphene™ Turn-Key Equipment and Manufacturing
Several Easytube CVD systems are offered for the production of graphene. The various components of the CVD system can be purchased individually or as a turn-key solution.
The company has also signed join IP development agreements with privately held companies Graphene Batteries and Grafoid.
While the company may have potential as a provider of CVD systems for the production of graphene, they aren't the only ones playing in this space. There are larger companies such as Aixtron and Veeco who compete in the CVD area with market caps of $1.7 and $1.4 billion respectively. Startup PlanarTech recently delivered a CVD machine for graphene production to 2-DTech Limited, a subsidiary of the University of Manchester where graphene was discovered. Another University of Manchester spinout, Graphene Industries, claims to produce the world's highest quality graphene and uses deposition equipment from Lesker and also Moorefield's nanoCVD equipment. According to the Photonics Buyers Guide, there are a total of 42 companies selling CVD equipment.
Since the company provides CVD machines that can produce graphene as many other companies do, and produces graphene for purchase as a number of other companies do, any sustainable competitive advantage should be supported by intellectual property or strong expenditures in R&D. The company currently values their intellectual property portfolio at around $41 thousand. Only last year the company expanded their laboratory staff and began conducting R&D independently of which incurred costs of $389,000.
CVV may be a good company to invest in for other reasons, however, the Company's ability to provide investors immediate pure play exposure to the graphene story is questionable. However, with the company's stated commitment to the future of graphene in their investor presentations, it certainly merits watching.
Pure-play disruptive tech stocks are not only hard to find, but investing in them is risky business.

7 thoughts on "Is CVD Equipment (CVV) a Graphene Investment?"
Tom Blakeslee says:
CVV is the only stock with a real, profitable business in graphene that isn't so big that it gets lost. They have wisely used the semiconductor equipment sales slump to regroup and are now positioned to benefit from the explosive growth to come.
Several mining stocks have tied themselves to graphene as a hot story to pump their stock but I don't think we will need to mine graphite for most applications. One layer of atoms isn't much carbon. CVV's equipment uses natural gas (methane) as a source of carbon. Very cheap and available.
The killer app will be supercapacitors, so I also bought MXWL, the leader in that industry. They have been doing joint research with UCLA and Nanotec on using graphene.
Nanalyze says:
Thank you for your thoughts Tom. Indeed there will be many companies attempting to use the word "graphene" to pump themselves whether maliciously or not and its equally useful to investors to expose the bad along with the good. One mining stock I'm sure you're aware of is Focus Graphite with their ownership stake in Grafoid. Will look to profile them in the future. Will also look into MXWL as I was unaware they were doing graphene research. Appreciate the input!
Ass. Proff. E. Mateev says:
Our institute is looking to bye CVD equipment for graphen deposition
Is that "bye" or "buy"?
what is the typical cost of a CVD Equipment (for making graphenes)?? Just a range..
thanks, Raj
It's best to contact the company directly.
Kum says:
I am curious to know..is starting a small scale company for the production of Multiwall-CNTs and Graphenes a good profitable business??
Please also share your input on the following:
1. Any good cheap equipment for the production of both CNTs and graphenes..I mean can the same equipment be used to produce both CNTs and graphenes.
2. If yes please give the generic name of it.
2. How easy to prepare these materials?
Raj.

Leprosy bacilli of human origin were inoculated into a white-handed gibbon by the i.v. and i.p. routes and locally into ears, testis and around an ulnar nerve. The animal was observed closely during a period of nearly 15 yr and did not exhibit any clinical evidence of cutaneous or neurological disease. At death, a wide range of tissues was taken for bacterial counts and histological examination, and a disseminated and progressive infection was demonstrated. Acid-fast bacilli were found in many sites; their morphological appearance, distribution in nerves, pattern of multiplication in mouse footpads, and the presence of anti-mycobacterial antibody in the serum and the absence of specific lymphocyte transformation were all in keeping with an infection by Mycobacterium leprae, at an early lepromatous stage. This is probably the 1st fully documented report of experimental lepromatous infection in a primate. The long incubation period of lepromatous leprosy and the difficulties of diagnosing the disease at an early stage in man are discussed.

Defra minister praises shooting and angling's contribution to conservation
Post author:BASCadmin
Post published:5th October 2010
Post category:BASC Central / BASC East / BASC North / BASC Northern Ireland / BASC Scotland / BASC South East / BASC South West / BASC Wales / Latest news
The Government recognizes and encourages the conservation work carried out by shooters and anglers, the Minister for Agriculture and Food Jim Paice told delegates at the Conservative party conference on Monday. Speaking at the Rural Reception, hosted by the UK's largest shooting organisation, the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC), and the Angling Trust, Mr. Paice said: "What you represent here is the Big Society in action. We don't go out in the countryside just to pull the trigger or float a fly; we are out there day in, day out working for conservation."
Independent research has shown that people involved in shooting carry out conservation work worth £250 million every year.* Mr. Paice also said that the Government does not intend to interfere with fieldsports where it is not necessary, but said it was important for shooting and fishing to ensure everything was being done properly and was above reproach.
Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP, chairman of the all-party parliamentary group for shooting and conservation, told the meeting that everyone who shoots or fishes should encourage others to come out into the countryside to find out the real story of what goes on. Mr. Clifton-Brown said the days of the perceived rural/urban divide are over.
Mark Lloyd, chief executive of the Angling Trust, called for reform of the Environment Agency, closer attention to water quality and greater protection for fish stocks in coastal waters. John Swift, chief executive of BASC, welcomed a Defra team with practical countryside experience and said shooting's main concern is the review of firearms law being carried out by the Home Affairs Select Committee. Mr. Swift called for a proper review on the basis of facts.

Some people are never going to warm to the deadpan comic aesthetic of writer-director Hal Hartley (The Unbelievable Truth, Trust, Simple Men). Screw'em. For the rest of us, "Amateur" is Hartley heaven, a sharp-witted thriller that takes off into dark and uncharted territory. French actress Isabelle Huppert (Madame Bovary) is new to the Hartley world, but she's up for every curveball he throws. Huppert is delicious as Isabelle, a nun who has left her convent to write pornography. At a Manhattan greasy spoon she meets an amnesiac named Thomas, played by Hartley regular Martin Donovan in peak form. He is mystified by this self-professed nympho who admits she has never had sex. "I'm choosy," she says.
Isabelle sees a sweetness in Thomas that doesn't jibe with his real identity as a sadistic pornographer who is wanted dead by the gang bosses he robbed, the accountant partner (wild-eyed Damian Young) he betrayed and the wife (the mesmerizing Elina Lewensohn) he forced into prostitution. The extraordinary cast brings snap and surprising heart to Hartley's riffs on sex, lies and exploitation. Amateur marks another creative leap in the career of a fervently inventive original.

Orano Canada and its predecessor companies have been exploring for uranium, developing uranium mines and producing uranium concentrate since 1964 — that's over 50 years!
Throughout our history, we have primarily operated within northern Saskatchewan with several exploration projects located elsewhere in Canada, such as Alberta and Nunavut.
Orano's presence in Canada began with the exploration and development of the Cluff Lake project in the western Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan.
In 1969, the first Cluff Lake uranium orebody was discovered and by 1980, operations began at the newly built mine and mill. The mine was shut down in 2002 and has since been decommissioned.
In preparation of future activities, in 1993, Orano acquired majority interest and operational control of the McClean Lake and Midwest projects in the eastern Athabasca, and the Kiggavik project in Nunavut.
In 1995, Orano began mining at the McClean Lake site while also starting construction on its uranium processing mill. By 1999, uranium concentrate (yellowcake) production began at the newly finished mill. In following years, McClean Lake became the first uranium operation in North America to achieve and maintain ISO14001 certification for its environmental management system and to obtain OHSAS 18001 international occupational health and safety management system certification.
From 2010 to 2014, the McClean Lake mill was placed under care and maintenance while awaiting the arrival of ore from the Cigar Lake mine, then under construction. By 2012, in preparation for the processing of high-grade ore from Cigar Lake, upgrade and expansion construction work began at the mill. In October, 2014, coinciding with Orano's celebration of 50 years in Canada, the McClean Lake mill restarted with the processing of all ore from the newly opened Cigar Lake mine.
Today, our exploration efforts continue near the Midwest project which has received approval for its environmental assessment. Ore from the proposed mine would be processed at the McClean Lake mill 17 kilometres away. There is also significant exploration activity near the now mined out Sue area mines at McClean Lake and near the Cigar Lake mine.
In recent years, the Orano exploration team has also concentrated its efforts on the Shea Creek orebody which shows significant positive results. Situated in the western Athabasca Basin, it is one of the largest known undeveloped uranium resources in Canada.
Headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Orano Canada is one of Canada's leading uranium explorer and producers. Today, we employ nearly 500 people in the province of Saskatchewan.

Björk is back at it again, diving head first into the world of VR, and there's no stopping her anytime soon.
After dropping a teaser for her upcoming VR music video for the Vulnicura track "Family" last week, the artist is teasing us once again with a glimpse of the VR video for "Notget" off the same album.
The 21-second preview clip continues the relentless work Björk has put into the immersive medium to complete a full VR version of her Vulnicura album in the coming months.
The "Notget" VR music video premiered Wednesday at a Björk digital exhibition at the Iceland Airwaves festival. Directed by Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones, the video features an underwater Björk figure filled with fire that looks like a beautifully animated TiltBrush sculpture.
Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones have been responsible for capturing much of the singer's various photographic looks in the past, and whose style can be defined by high production light painting type of imagery. Often times captured on surreal sets, we can't wait to see what the duo has helped create with Björk in VR.
Björk was early to jump on board the immersive medium, releasing a 360° music video experience early 2015 for "Stonemilker" from the album Vulnicura. This Summer, Björk went even further, hitting the road with a global tour of The Björk Digital exhibition that featured three more VR music videos.

La Porta di Erode (, Sha'ar HaPrakhim, , Bab az-Zahra) è una delle entrate alla Città Vecchia di Gerusalemme. Si trova nella parte nord poco distante dalla Porta di Damasco e conduce al quartiere musulmano.

Storia
Il 15 luglio 1099 i crociati penetrarono e conquistarono Gerusalemme aprendo una breccia nelle mura presso la porta di Erode.

Questa porta si apre all'interno di una torre posta tra le mura. È una delle porte più recenti di Gerusalemme. Al tempo in cui Solimano il Magnifico costruì le mura cittadine (1537-1541), c'era una piccola porta situata nella parte est della torre che veniva raramente utilizzata.

Nel 1875, per offrire un passaggio verso la città vecchia e in nuovi quartieri che stavano sorgendo fuori dalle mura, gli Ottomani aprirono una nuova porta nel lato frontale della torre che offriva un accesso migliore e serrarono la porta laterale.

Nomi
Porta di Erode è il nome cristiano attribuito nel XVI - XVII secolo dai pellegrini cristiani i quali credevano erroneamente che l'abitazione di Erode Antipa fosse nelle vicinanze.

Bab az-Zahra è il nome arabo poiché in prossimità della porta è situato il quartiere arabo di Bab az-Zahara. Az-Zahra è una storpiatura del nome As-Sahira dato al luogo dove venivano seppellite le persone che avevano sostenuto l'Hajj alla Mecca.

Sha'ar HaPrakhim, "Porta dei fiori", è il nome ebraico viene comunemente interpretato come una traduzione del nome arabo Bab az-Zahra. L'etimologia potrebbe fare pensare anche ad un collegamento con la rappresentazione floreale che decora la porta.

The most sophisticated approach to measuring differences in how states tax business — the representative firm model — addresses many of the problems with examining the average level of business taxes.
There are two prominent representative firm models produced in recent years: The Council on State Taxation (COST) report Competitiveness of State and Local Business Taxes on New Investment and the Tax Foundation's Location Matters. These mathematical models allow for more complexity and nuance because they acknowledge that companies and facilities vary greatly in how they interact with tax codes, and they are aimed at measuring how tax systems impact plant expansions or relocations. Unfortunately, both models have serious flaws and fail to take full advantage of the methodology.
How a Representative Firm Model Works
First, theoretical representative firms are constructed from publicly available information on the financial characteristics of actual firms in particular sectors, primarily sectors that are relatively mobile or able to operate profitably in a variety of geographic areas. Then those firms are subjected to the tax systems of all 50 states. Such models can measure the tax that would be incurred by making an investment—a new plant or a facility expansion—as well as the tax paid by an existing business. The effective tax rates are likely to be quite different for new versus established firms because of the prevalence of economic development incentives tied to new capital investment or jobs.
Each of the current representative firm models has significant problems. COST's model excludes pass-through entities such as S corporation or LLCs, which are very common among small-businesses. And even though it models five different kinds of facilities and three kinds of taxes, it hides those disaggregated results and only provides two blended numbers per state. In a huge omission, it fails to account for tax incentives, even though such subsidies can greatly reduce tax liabilities and thereby affect investment returns. The COST model also assumes every facility sells five percent of its output in-state, whether it is located in, say, California or North Dakota. Finally, it uses the property tax rates of each state's largest city, which are often far higher than statewide averages.
The Tax Foundation report models seven theoretical facilities. It assumes that six of the seven companies have payroll and property only in the state being examined and distributes sales among the 50 states according to the sizes of their economies. This is an unrealistic scenario and the Tax Foundation acknowledges this. This assumption artificially penalizes facilities in states with both singles sales factor income tax apportionment and throwback rules.1
As a result, the COST and the Tax Foundation representative firm findings should be used with considerable caution.
The Unfulfilled Promise of the Representative Firm Approach
The representative firm approach shows considerable promise, despite the flaws of the COST and Tax Foundation models. It explains why crude "one size fits all" business climate ratings have no real-world applicability. In turn, understanding the wide variability of company inputs and costs helps dispel the misleading impressions left by business climate studies that single-variable "silver bullets" can shape something as complex as a state economy. The differences in tax rates among sectors within a given state are often larger than the differences among states for a given sector.
We hope that future versions of the COST and Tax Foundation studies overcome the deficiencies noted above. In the meantime, it should give us considerable pause that these two studies, employing the same general methodology and nearly the same economic sectors (with only two exceptions), should come up with such different results due to the differences in the key assumptions made. For example, the COST report's average tax rates for Nebraska rank it 37th and 41st among the states, while the Tax Foundation's report shows Nebraska ranks from 1st to 3rd best depending on which of the five representative firms are considered. COST has Oregon 2nd best, while the Tax Foundation ranks it from 25th to 44th. Clearly the results of these representative firm models are highly sensitive to the underlying inputs used to calculate effective tax rates.
Given the problems with both studies, serious reliance on them should wait until methodological improvements have been implemented.
Finally, it is worth reiterating that even the best possible representative firm model would not provide us the answer to the question: where is the best location for a particular firm? That's because the answer to this question depends not only on the particulars of a site within a state, but on cost factors that in general weigh far more heavily in the location decision than state and local taxes: differences in wages, transportation access, energy prices, availability of particular skills, sources of inputs, access to suppliers, access to markets.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets will be the only Canadian teams in this year's Stanley Cup playoffs. But which one has the better shot of ending Canada's 25-year championship drought?
June 9th will mark 25 years since the last Canadian-based club celebrated a Stanley Cup when Kirk Muller put the Montreal Canadiens ahead for good early in the second period of Game 5 of the 1993 Stanley Cup final against the Los Angeles Kings at the Montreal Forum.
Since then, the Vancouver Canucks (1994 and 2011), Calgary Flames (2004), Edmonton Oilers (2006) and Ottawa Senators (2007) have each made trips to the final only to come up short.
Hopes are high this spring for the Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs to end the Canadian championship drought. Both clubs have enjoyed excellent regular seasons and appear bound for bumper playoff runs. But which team, the Jets or Maple Leafs, has the better chance? It's an interesting question.
They meet for the second and final time at the Air Canada Centre on Saturday, five months since the Maple Leafs hammered Winnipeg at the MTS Centre back on opening night. There's been plenty of development on both sides in the 178 days since their initial meeting.
The Jets and Maple Leafs have watched their dynamic young talent continue to develop. For Winnipeg, 24-year-old netminder Connor Hellebuyck has come into his own and is now considered a top-10 goalie. Captain Blake Wheeler, 31, has enjoyed a banner season with a career-high 86 points.
Centre Paul Stastny was an excellent addition at the trade deadline and has helped sniper Patrik Laine pick up his goal-scoring pace. Like Wheeler, 28-year-old Toronto forward James van Riemsdyk has enjoyed an outstanding season with a career-high 35 goals in limited ice time — he averages only 14 minutes and 53 seconds a game.
Toronto also added a checking centre at the trade deadline in Tomas Plekanec and call-ups from the AHL Toronto Marlies, Kaperi Kapanen and Andreas Johnsson, have boosted the speed of the bottom two lines.
As you can see, not much statistically separates the two Canadian-based teams, so we enlisted the services of three NHL pro scouts to determine which team is better.
The first scout sat on the fence. He believes the difference between the teams is a toss-up. He did add that both Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice and Toronto's Mike Babcock have enjoyed strong seasons. They put their young players out in key situations at critical times and now late in the season, you can see the dividends with how well both teams have been playing.
The Jets and Maple Leafs have identical 18-6-2 records since the all-star break. The Leafs have defeated top teams like the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins at home as well as the Nashville Predators on the road in recent weeks.
Winnipeg has a six-game win streak entering its road match against the Blackhawks on Thursday and have also knocked off the Predators and Bruins with shootout wins in the last two outings.
"These are both capable teams," scout No. 2 said. "They both have strong goaltending, balance up front with young game-breakers like Laine, [Mark] Scheifele and [Auston] Matthews. Babcock is the better coach, but I still would give Winnipeg the edge because of their defence and they manage the puck better.
"[The Jets] have three good decent pairings, but Toronto, even though [Travis] Dermott has come in and done a nice job, still needs one or two defencemen. "Toronto still relies on outscoring the opposition to win games. We know that doesn't always work in the playoffs. They need better puck management."
Our third scout agrees that the Jets have the better group right now. But he also looked down the road and he believes the Jets have the tougher road in the playoffs because the Predators stand in their way in the West.
"But if you're asking me who would win in a seven-game series between Winnipeg and Toronto, Winnipeg would win," scout No. 3 said. "The Jets play a big, heavy game and would wear down Toronto."

Man Faces Prison In Deadly Road Rage DUI
Michael Moreno, 32, faces up to 29 years in prison after being involved in a deadly road rage DUI incident in Naperville, Illinois. On June 13, 2012, Moreno chased a 16 year old driving a Honda in a bout of road rage before turning left onto another street's oncoming traffic and striking 63 year-old motorcyclist Gerald Puglise and killing him. According to police, Moreno fled the scene of the crash but was quickly apprehended by police. Police then took Moreno to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries where he also tested positive for marijuana and cocaine. The 16 year old girl driving the Honda was not involved in the accident and did not suffer any injuries.
George Bakalis, the Dupage County judge presiding over Moreno's bench trial found him guilty of leaving the scene of an accident involving death, disorderly conduct and 2 counts of aggravated driving under the influence of drugs. State Attorney Robert Berlin issued a press release on Wednesday, saying, ""Mr. Moreno should never have been behind the wheel of a car that afternoon. Because of his reckless actions, Gerald Puglise is no longer with his family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them. While nothing can be done to bring Mr. Puglise back to those who loved him, perhaps today's guilty verdict will provide some measure of solace to those he left behind". Moreno now has a pre-sentencing hearing scheduled for April 22, 2013.
If you have been arrested for driving drunk, contact an experienced and skilled Illinois DUI attorney for legal assistance.

Owners of All Ages, Professional Backgrounds and Points of Origin Now Call The Mark Condominiums Their Downtown San Diego Home
xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The Mark San Diego
San Diego (PRWEB) June 25, 2008
Regional population studies predict there will be nearly 46,000 residents in downtown San Diego luxury condos by 2010, including people of all ages, professional backgrounds, and points of origin. Nowhere is that diverse range of urban dwellers more apparent than at The Mark, located in the heart of downtown San Diego's East Village.
Bankers and other finance industry professionals, doctors, business owners, attorneys, engineers, Realtors, public safety officers, and even a couple of professional athletes comprise the growing roster of homeowners who have migrated from different area suburbs to downtown San Diego's luxury real estate community — specifically to become homeowners at The Mark.
The reasons are numerous and varied. The Mark not only exemplifies the finest in contemporary design, solid construction and luxurious amenities, it is a two-block walk to the neighborhood's anchor attraction, PETCO Park, home of the San Diego Padres baseball team.
That's one reason Dr. Walter Emery, and his wife, Marilyn, last year moved from a San Diego suburb where they had lived for 47 years to enjoy San Diego urban living in the gleaming 33-story, metal-and-glass tower that offers sweeping views of the ballpark, San Diego Bay, downtown and Balboa Park.
"We're big Padres fans and had been watching what was taking place in downtown San Diego for the past few years – well before construction began for The Mark," said Mrs. Emery. In fact, the Emerys reserved their San Diego luxury condo at The Mark two years before ground breaking.
Today, their 29th -floor home offers a panoramic view overlooking PETCO Park and to the bay beyond.
"We wanted something new and different and we were familiar with the Douglas Wilson Companies' reputation for building quality and value in the San Diego real estate market," she said.
Baseball games are not the only downtown attraction the Emerys enjoy.
"We like being able to walk a short distance from our new home to the restaurants and stores that are close by," Mrs. Emery said.
Nine floors down from the Emerys, National City firefighter Jeremy Day enjoys all the rich, urban amenities of his 20th-floor high-rise residence, including its dramatic northward view overlooking downtown San Diego.
"The Mark is very chic with a lot of lifestyle amenities and quality everywhere. It really stands out compared to the other new San Diego condos surrounding it," he said.
Day moved from a single-family detached house in a San Diego suburb to The Mark so that he could "be in the middle of everything" and not have to drive as much. "I like the convenience and simplicity of it all," Day said. "When I want to work out, I go to The Mark's fully equipped gym downstairs. When I want to go to the pool or have a barbecue, those facilities are right here. I also can walk across the street or up the block to see friends or I can choose to have privacy and stay at home."
Second-home buyers also find The Mark the place to be among downtown San Diego condos, including Jerry and Pamela Carollo who keep their 18th-floor condominium for weekend getaways.
Carollo, a high-tech company executive from North San Diego County, and his wife had owned a condominium loft at Parkloft, another downtown San Diego real estate project in East Village built earlier by the Douglas Wilson Companies.
In addition to spending most of their weekends at The Mark, Carollo often spends weekday nights there before catching an early-morning plane from Lindbergh Field.
Aside from enjoying The Mark's many amenities, including their sweeping view of Balboa Park, the Carollos are bicyclists who enjoy rides throughout the San Diego community.
"We'll take off for Point Loma on a weekend morning; stop to have breakfast along the wharf; ride a while before another stop for lunch and then barbecue something when we return home later. We'll then go somewhere for a drink to cap off the evening," Carolla said.
The Emerys, Day, and Carollos chose their residences from the 53 one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 739 to a spacious 2,430 square feet. Their homes, as well as the 241 other residences at The Mark, feature German-made Studio Becker cabinetry, GE stainless steel appliances and gas cooktops; upgraded GE Monogram appliances in specific residences on the 20th floor and up; nine-foot ceilings in units on floors 2-19, 10-foot ceilings for those on the higher floors. Kitchens have granite slab countertops. Bathrooms feature beautiful limestone surrounds for showers and tubs and high-quality Toto bathroom fixtures.
Common area features include secure parking for 427 automobiles on three subterranean levels, a 24/7lobby attendants, concierge, onsite general manager, interior courtyard area complete with swimming pool and hydrotherapy spa.
Prices range from the mid $ 400,000s to more than $ 3 million. The Mark is located at 800 The Mark Lane, between Eighth and Ninth avenues, and Island Avenue and Market Street.
