#State Deficits to Shrink & Taxes Drop-Good News for Biotech Forecasters at the National Conference of State Legislatures2011 Legislative Summit expect a dramatic reduction of state deficits in the coming years,
which state governors and legislatures are allowing for the expiration of temporary business taxes. Notably, the Michigan Business Tax was eliminated
and replaced with a six percent corporate income tax that essentially exempts small business. North dakota has also cut the corporate income tax rate
while Indiana and Arizona will soon phase in similar tax cuts. Florida also raised the corporate income tax standard exemption from $5, 000 to $25, 000.
Unfortunately these corporate tax cuts do not provide much-needed capital to small biotech companies because their lack of profits makes tax benefits unredeemable.
Most emerging biotech companies with promising scientific innovation are small, research-intensive and not yet profitable because they do not have approved an FDA product on the market.
Biotech start-ups generally struggle to raise capital to finance their research, and BIO advocates two important policies that enable them to continue critical R&d of advancements and breakthroughs.
The biotech industry has shrunk dramatically in recent years based primarily on the continued tight capital markets and increased aversion to risk on the part of investors.
As a result, scores of small companies have shut down operations and closed their doors. Eckl evidenced that the worst may be behind most states in that revenues are generally growing and year-end balances are stabilizing following the longest recession since WORLD WAR II.

Mastercard said a pop-up will ask for authorisation after people buy something. They can choose fingerprint or facial recognition.
Users who choose facial recognition have to stare at the phone and blink once. Mastercard's security researchers believe blinking is the best way to prevent a thief from just holding up a picture of a person
and fooling the system. Mastercard said it does not actually get a picture of the user's finger or face.
All fingerprint scans will create a code that stays on the device. The facial recognition scan will map out a user's face,
