Japan moves to restrict information on Internet.

TOKYO _ Japan announced measures Wednesday aimed at preventing Web sites from carrying illegal or harmful information such as on group suicides and homemade bombs.

One of the proposed measures includes creation of a procedure for police to demand providers reveal information on webmasters of sites encouraging suicide, and promotion of filtering software to prevent children from seeing sites with harmful content.

An information-technology safety committee set up by the related governmental bodies is expected to decide on the measures officially as early as this week to reflect them on fiscal 2006 budget requests.

The measures also include enhancement of the so-called cyber patrol, or monitoring of information on the Internet by police in an attempt to identify those planning group suicides.

As for filtering software, the proposal calls for:

_Studying use of such software by central and local government offices, and promoting its introduction as quickly as possible.

_Working with schools to encourage households with children to use such software.

_Studying and developing software to filter content on cell phone sites and moving images.

In July, the Internal Affairs and Communication Ministry will establish a committee to look into enhancement of providers' self-imposed regulations, while in August, the Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry will set up a committee to discuss the business of operators providing information on the Internet.

The measures include compilation of a manual on how to coordinate between consultation services offered by the central and local governments and by nonprofit organizations. A special counseling service at the National Police Agency should be considered, according to the proposed measures.

The measures were drawn up following the June 10 bombing at a high school in Hikari, Japan. The 18-year-old male suspect is believed to have learned how to make bombs on the Internet.

COLES MYER/KODAK TEAM UP TO INTRODUCE DIGITAL PHOTO SERVICES.

MELBOURNE, Oct 20 Asia Pulse - Coles Myer Ltd (ASX:CML) and Kodak (Australasia) Pty Ltd have teamed up to introduce digital photo services at Coles retail supermarkets.

From today, customers at more than 480 Coles supermarkets across Australia will be able to order and collect digital photos for the first time.

Mr Barry Hendy, digital services manager at Kodak, said supermarkets were a popular consumer option for photographic ordering and a critical component in the company's digital strategy.

"We expect Coles supermarkets to become another key destination point for Australia's one million digital camera-enabled households - most users want to get prints from their digital camera easily," Mr Hendy said.

The service will enable consumers to order digital photos when processing their traditional film or collect 'real' photos from their digital camera after ordering via Kodak's internet print service, PrintKodak, available at www.kodak.com.au.

"With the rapid growth in the digital camera market it's timely that we provide greater options for users."

Coles' national business manager, grocery division, David Redmond, said the expansion into digital photographic services will provide a convenient offering to supermarket consumers.

"This service is the natural extension of our current processing offering with traditional film users and has the potential to transform the way consumers order their pictures," Mr Redmond said.

Creativity and Culture-Linked Industries are More Resilient to Economic Crisis.

New York (Vocus/PRWEB) March 30, 2011

Creative industries have shown more resilience to the impact of the global economic crisis than traditional manufacturing industries, according to the Creative Economy Report 2010 launched, today, at the United Nations.

Global exports of creative goods and servicesaideas and creativity-centred industries such as arts and crafts, audiovisuals, books, design, films, music, new media, visual and performing artsa have more than doubled from 2002 to 2008, reaching nearly US$600 billion, according to the Report.

Despite the 12 percent decline in global commerce in 2008, world trade of creative goods and services continued to expand with an average annual growth rate of 14 percent.

The Report entitled Creative Economy: A Feasible Development Option argues that creativity-centred industries are a source of inclusive economic growth.

"If well nurtured, the creative economy can be a source of socio-economic growth, jobs, innovation, and trade, while at the same time contributing to social inclusion, cultural diversity, and sustainable human development," said Rebeca Grynspan, Associate Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) during the launch.

"New technologies and the internet give developing countries a feasible option to promote their creativity and entrepreneurship in the global market," said Edna dos Santos-Duisenberg, Chief of Creative Economy and Industries Programme of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

The UNCTAD-UNDP publication showcases more than 40 concrete examples ranging from the fashion industry in Africa and Asia to soap operas in Mexico and Brazil, and from the film industry in India, to reggae in Jamaica and the carnival in Brazil and the Caribbean. Such industries in developing countries have been promoting trade, while often providing training and employment to the poor.

For example, Nigeria's US$2.75 billion film industry is the third largest in the world, following the US and India. Nigeria's 'Nollywood' produces more than 1,000 films annually, creating thousands of jobs and is the country's second most important industry after oil. In recognition of its importance, the Government has invested in the film industry, reforming policies and providing training to promote film production and distribution.

The 2010 Creative Economy Report concludes with 10 policy recommendations on how creative industries can promote inclusive growth.

Scamstersgetbusyasdeadline to file taxes draws near.(Real Estate)

Fraud schemes purporting to involve the Internal Revenue Service always proliferate this time of year, as homeowners and other taxpayers seek to raise their deductions and boost their refund.

Q. I received an e-mail that is supposedly from the Internal Revenue Service, stating that a review of its books indicates that I am owed an additional refund for the tax return I completed last year. The e-mail says the IRS will send me a check if I can verify a few pieces of information, including the account number of my mortgage loan, the PIN number I use to pay my loan online and also my Social Security number. Is this e-mail legitimate?

A. Absolutely not. The IRS never sends out e-mails or text messages, an agency representative says. Nor does it ask for detailed personal and financial information, such as a password or personal identification number you use to access online banking or other accounts.

And as for the request to supply your Social Security number: If anyone knows your nine-digit number better than you, it's the IRS. There's no reason for the agency to ask you to confirm it.

Tax and identity-theft scams always proliferate this time of year, as homeowners rush to complete their individual returns by the April filing deadline and desperately look for every money-saving write-off. Many of the schemes originate on the Internet and often direct the e-mail recipient to an official-looking website or to call a toll-free phone number to provide the so-called necessary information in order to claim the additional refund or deductions.

If you fall for the ruse, the information then quickly can be used to steal your identity and empty your bank accounts.

To protect yourself, the IRS says you should never reply to an e-mail or text message claiming to be from the agency and never open any attachment found in one of these e-mails, because it could contain a computer virus.

Also remember that the only official IRS website is www.irs.gov. Fake ones end with ".com,"".org,"".net" or other designations.

Finally, if you instead get a phone call or letter purporting to be from the agency, refuse to provide any personal information until you first call the IRS at 800-829-1040 to ensure that the contact is legitimate. Don't confuse this phone number with others, many of which are nearly identical but are operated by identity thieves and other scamsters.

Q. Dave, what is the most expensive housing market in the U.S.? My wife says it must be Manhattan or Palm Beach (Florida), but I say that it must be Beverly Hills or maybe Malibu, Calif. We have a rib dinner bet on this, and you are the judge!

A. Sorry, but "Judge Dave" rules that both of you will be treating yourselves to homemade meatloaf or TV dinners tonight.

The priciest housing market in the nation is now Aspen, Colo. Public records show that the average home price in the resort community, which includes expansive ranches and glitzy condominiums owned by Hollywood stars, climbed to $6 million last year from $5.4 million in 2006. And the median price for a single-family home -- the figure at which half of homes sell for more and the other half goes for less -- is $4.6 million, a new report from the respected Altos Research in San Francisco says.

A recent check of the Multiple Listing Service, which real estate agents use to market properties for sale, showed that the cheapest single-family home that was available in Aspen was priced at $559,000. It is in a trailer park.

Q. My wife and I purchased our home as joint tenants in 1991, so I automatically inherited her one-half interest in the property when she passed away in 2004.Now I want to sell, but her name is still on the title. Will this cause a problem when I find a buyer and try to close the sale?

A. It shouldn't cause a major problem, but you probably will have to do a little extra paperwork.

In most states, a living spouse who wants to have a deceased spouse's name removed from the title to a home must file a certified copy of the death certificate with the county recorder or similar government agency. It must usually be accompanied by a document, often referred to as an "affidavit of survivorship."

You can get more information from the recorder's office, or from the escrow officer or closing attorney who will coordinate the upcoming sale. Although you could begin filling out the additional documents after you have found a buyer, it would be better to start the process now to help ensure that your eventual closing will go as smoothly and quickly as possible.
