It did not take clinching a postseason berth to convince the D-Backs that their man, Bob Melvin, is the 2007 NL manager of the year despite a group of candidates that include championship series opponent Clint Hurdle.
Times set for next two D-Backs playoff games
After Francis, Rockies not sure of rest of rotation
"He's pushed all the right buttons from Day 1," outfielder Eric Byrnes said.
"He's dealt with everything, with guys getting called up, guys getting hurt. Making do with what he has. He continued to juggle the lineup and the position players to make sure we got the right guys in there.
"He's very meticulous about making sure we have the right matchups."
The D-Backs were the only NL team to reach 90 victories in the regular season and also led the major leagues with 12 pinch-hit home runs.
Melvin used 146 different lineups in the regular season, and used two more new ones in the three-game sweep of the Cubs.
"It's not by accident that those guys have had success in those situations," Byrnes said.
Catcher Chris Snyder said Melvin has a good feel for the clubhouse.
"He's an old catcher. He knows what to do and what needs to be done," Snyder said.
"He knows when it is time for a pat on the back, words of encouragement, and when there is a time for a kick in the butt. He makes his point, and the point is taken well."
The manager of the year is selected by a vote of the Baseball Writers Association of America and is not affected by the postseason, since ballots are submitted at the conclusion of the regular season.
The award winner will be announced in the next few weeks.
The D-Backs are expected to announce their pitching rotation for the series today.
While there is a chance Brandon Webb could potentially start three games in the series, it appears the D-Backs will stick to a four-man rotation that includes Micah Owings in Game 4 following Webb, Doug Davis and Livan Hernandez.
Because the NL championship series has been lengthened to include an off day between Games 4 and 5 in Colorado, the pitcher who starts the series opener could start Game 4 on three days' rest before returning in a potential Game 7 on regular rest.
"I haven't heard any talk about that," Webb said. "If there is a must-win game, I'd like to be in there."
Owings, who has not pitched since beating Pittsburgh on Sept. 27 on two hours' notice, will get in his work by starting for the D-Backs' instructional league team in Tucson, manager Bob Melvin said.
Both Arizona and Colorado will enter the series with four days off, something Byrnes appreciates.
"I like the layoff. I think it's great. To have four days off this time of year, especially when we were playing so many big games down the stretch," Byrnes said.
"I don't think that's going to affect anything."
Colorado has won 17 of their last 18 games, the best such streak at this point of a season in baseball history.
They won 14 of their last 15 regular season games, their only loss against Webb at Coors Field on Sept. 28.
Like Owings, Colorado's Aaron Cook is expected to start and throw 80 pitches in an instructional league game, scheduled for Wednesday. Cook, who has been out since Aug. 11 with a left oblique muscle injury, is eligible to return from the 60-day disabled in time for a Game 4 start Monday, if the Rockies so choose. Josh Fogg also is an option. The Rockies are expected to use Jeff Francis, Ubaldo Jimenez and Franklin Morales in the first three games.
Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt is behind the D-Backs. He opened his weekly Monday press gathering by congratulating the D-Backs on their NL division series sweep of Chicago.
Why change now? As they did occasionally in the regular season, Hernandez and Davis flew their radio-controlled airplanes in Chase Field before a light Monday workout.
The D-Backs likely will carry 14 position players and 11 pitchers, Melvin saying Monday that 11 pitchers are probably more necessary in a seven-game series than in a five-gamer.
Although the D-Backs' ticket office originally said Game 2 would start at 1 p.m., it was changed later in the day to 7:18 p.m.
"We love (the change), because it will help our fans be able to get to the ball park. They won't have to choose between work and the game," D-Backs executive Shawn Rachau said. Game 1 begins at 5:37 p.m.

CP eHandbook: Dealing With Water Challenges
For chemical processors, the use of water in their processing can correlate to significant costs. Cost, coupled with an increasing focus on the environmental impact of both water usage and wastewater creation, are challenging processors to take a closer look at both their consumption of water and production of wastewater. Wide-ranging water optimization efforts, from fixing pipe leaks to minimizing cooling tower blowdown, are providing significant savings to chemical makers, but there's more.

'Lyft' rides cleared for Rochester, Buffalo
Rochester, N.Y. - You'll be seeing plenty of pink mustaches on the fronts of cars in our area - at least for now.
A judge ruled this week that the ride-sharing service Lyft can continue to operate in the Rochester and Buffalo areas, but will not be allowed to launch in New York City yet.
The smartphone app allows people to drive their own cars and pick others up through requests.
New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said that Lyft is violating licensing and insurance laws.
A hearing is set for Friday to discuss the issue.

How To Download Movies From Internet
Want to save yourself some money by learning how to download movies from the internet? Times have changed. A few decades ago the only way to watch a full-length feature film was to go to the movie theater. This is no longer true. It's now possible to watch movies at home for free by downloading the movies from the internet, and it's easy to do! Many free-movie websites also offer free episodes of television shows to watch when it's convenient for you.
To download movies from the internet, you will need:
- A computer
- An active internet connection
- Log on to the internet. Do a search for free movie downloads. Several options will appear. Select one of the websites that shows up; there will be a lot to choose from, so many sure you select one that will allow you to watch the movies you want for free.
- Create an account. You will most likely need to open an account with the website you decide to use to download movies. At the website of your choice, create an account. This will involve entering your email address and a password. Write these down so you don't forget them, if needed.
- Search the site for a link to the movies available for download. Check out the movies shown or use the search box to find specific movie titles. Enter the name of a movie, such as "Flyboys" or "100 Girls" into the search bar.
- Click on the image or movie name to watch it. The movie will appear on your computer screen. A short advertising trailer will probably play before the movie begins. Use the play, pause, rewind, fast forward and stop buttons on the computer screen as you would on a remote control.
- Put movies in your queue. When you have time, take a few minutes to search the website and add movie titles to your queue so they're ready the next time you want to download movies from the internet.

The Digital Flipchart system captures notes and diagrams created on a standard whiteboard using a small video camera. Images are automatically saved to a Windows 95 PC for later review or printing. At the end of a meeting, one also may distribute copies of the electronic files via e-mail or publish them as HTML documents on the Internet.
One simply attaches the system's camera to their LCD projector, loads the Digital Flipchart software and installs the image-capture card in a desktop or notebook PC. The camera's "eyes" then capture any notes made with markers over the projected images. Plus, the software can project "virtual buttons" on the whiteboard, thus enabling one to control the computer by touch.
A Visualizer option even permits the capture of information from paper materials. Any bitmap editor can be used to edit captured pages or merge them into another file. TEGRITY, Inc., San Jose, CA, (408) 369-5150, www.tegrity.com.

John and Sue Elliot, owners of Davidson Chocolate Co., don't sleep much during the holidays. And though their two locations – the flagship in Davidson and a second shop in Dilworth's Kenilworth Commons shopping center – close at 7 p.m., it's a rare for the couple to lock up before 10:30, Sue said.
That's because they have thousands of seasonal confections to make, from eggnog truffles to chocolate sleighs, hundreds of orders to ship (wrapped and encased in freezer packs), and dozens of charity events to donate chocolates to.
It's all part of the responsibility of being a "personal chocolatier" to two communities fiercely supportive of their local small businesses.
The couple, both 61 and Mooresville residents, started Davidson Chocolate Co. in 2008 after five years spent restoring a formerly defunct chocolate shop in the North Carolina mountains.
John, a graduate of the Barry Callebaut Chocolate Academy with more than 25 years of experience in the food industry, is head chocolatier. Sue, whose background is in accounting, helps run the shops and manage the books.
The couple's son, John Jr., a Davidson College graduate, handles their marketing.
Sue said it takes an incredible amount of planning to come through the holidays intact and ready for the next big rush, Valentine's Day, so ShopTalk asked her to talk strategy.
Here are some of their guiding principles:
Don't hire uninitiated seasonal workers: Though Davidson Chocolate will often produce up to 2,000 confections a day during the holidays, Sue said they're very intentional about seasonal hiring and time management.
Rather than hire and train new employees, they made a policy only to rehire former employees – those who could re-enter the operation seamlessly. Usually that's college students home on winter break, Sue said.
"There's too much going on ... to stop and tell someone what to do and look over their shoulder," Sue said. If she and John had to do training on top of their hectic schedules, they'd get behind on orders or their quality would drop, she said.
Occasionally, however, she'll ask them to come back in January. Then they'll have time to fully train them before the Valentine's Day rush.
Start preparations months in advance: Sue said she and her husband are always on the lookout for new ideas, and trade magazines can be a great source of inspiration.
Sometimes it comes from lists of trends, but much of the time it's more subtle. For example, Sue said she noticed in a number of magazines (many not even food-related) that red-and-white polka dots were growing increasingly popular.
They key, she said, is testing out the ideas long before Christmas lights go up.
They got their idea for a gingerbread truffle in July and then began perfecting it, Sue said. They try to have all their new ideas determined and testing by September or early October.
Let custom orders breed innovation: At Davidson Chocolate Co., they try to accommodate nearly every custom request.
And afterward, they'll consider whether it'd be worth adding to their regular rotation, Sue said. One of their current best-sellers, chocolate-dipped wine bottles, started with a customer who brought in a single bottle.
The customer brought in the bottle, and Sue wrapped it in cellophane. Then she dipped it in chocolate, wrapped it again and added colorful ribbon. They now sell for $21.95 a piece (not including the bottle). The store sells so many of them that some passers-by think they sell wine at the shop, Sue said.
"As a thank you, we sent (that customer) one or two (chocolate-dipped) bottles for free," Sue said. "She suggested something, and it worked."
And though they rarely turn down a custom order, there's one chocolate-dipped request they haven't accommodated – yet.
"Bacon," Sue said, laughing. "We draw the line at bacon."

'Breaking Dawn' Vs. 'Killing Them Softly': Box Office Battle (POLL)
Brad Pitt's new movie, Killing Them Softly, is (literally) gunning after Twilight: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 for box office supremacy this weekend. But will Pitt in badass mode be enough to dethrone Bella and Team Edward?
Celebuzz wants you to weigh in on this weekend's battle at the box office.
In one corner, Pitt reunites with his Assassination of Jesse James director Andrew Dominik for the gritty crime thriller Softly. The movie, based on the novel Cogan's Trade, centers on Pitt's pursuit of two crooks who thought it was a good idea to rob a Mob-backed card game.
This is Pitt's first movie since last year's Moneyball, and if the reviews are any indication, it looks like Softly will need more than putting a shotgun in Pitt's hands to conquer the box office.
Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 enters its third frame as the movie to beat. Since opening on November 16, the final Twilight film has retained the number one spot at the box office, despite strong competition for holdover Skyfall, the highest-grossing James Bond movie in the U.S.
Will Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and a crazy amount of end-battle decapitations be enough to fend off the competition?
Which movie will you see this weekend? Watch Celebuzz' interview with the cast of Breaking Dawn - Part 2, and then choose your pick in the comments below!

Not that more is expected, but the SD940 is limited to three shooting modes. A small switch on back moves you between Canon's improved automatic scene recognition called Smart Auto, Program/Scene, and Movie. The Smart Auto mode is very reliable and since it's now picking from 22 different scenes (up from 18 on the SD780), the bases are well covered. In Program you can control things such as ISO, white balance, light metering, and autofocus type or you can switch to one of 17 scene shooting options including common ones like Portrait and Indoors or specialty choices such as Long Shutter and Color Accent. The Movie mode is capable of recording at an HD-quality resolution of 720p. (For quickly connecting to an HDTV, there's a mini HDMI output behind a small door where your thumb naturally rests while shooting.) But sadly, the 4x optical zoom doesn't function while recording.
The SD940's performance is mixed. For a camera this size, a fast startup time is expected and that's what we got at 1.4 seconds. Its shutter lag was on the long side at 0.6 second in good lighting and 0.9 second in dimmer conditions. Regrettably its shot-to-shot times are not good either, taking 2.9 seconds without flash and more than 6 seconds with it on. In addition, its continuous shooting mode comes in well under some of its competition at 0.6 frames per second.
The SD940's photo quality is very good, but it is still subject to problems characteristic of point-and-shoot cameras of this size and price. Some smudginess from noise reduction starts appearing at ISO 200, but for the most part, photos are sharp with good fine detail. Subjects get noticeably softer and smoother as the ISO gets higher, but detail remains reasonably good up to and including ISO 800. While large prints may be out of the question, the noise is suppressed just enough to make 4x6-inch or smaller prints and Web use possible. A lot of the credit goes to this Canon's ability to produce photos with very good exposure, white balance, contrast, and color--especially if you like your colors vibrant, but not unnatural. There's some mild barrel distortion on the left side--typical of compact wide-angle lenses--and chromatic aberration (purple fringing) is in good supply in high-contrast areas and, depending on the picture, is visible in prints of 8x10 inches or larger.
Just like the SD780 IS, the Canon PowerShot SD940 IS is a fun camera to use. The combination of its incredibly small, simple, attractive design, ease of use, and generally fantastic photos makes it a fairly irresistible ultracompact. Performance could be better and the amount of purple fringing in my test shots bugs me, but neither are real deal breakers for me in this class of camera.

Support to internally displaced in Turkey
Within the framework of the Internally Displaced Persons' (IDP) Protection programme, training workshops for Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Damage Assessment Commissions were held in Ankara and Mersin during June.
New Horizons - The first workshop was organized in Ankara on 8-9 June for 34 members from 24 NGOs. The participating NGOs are working in the fields of human rights, legal issues and service-delivery for IDPs. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) attended the workshop as observer. Turkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation's working group on IDPs was also represented at the workshop and shared insights on the recent developments in national IDP response. Conducted by the facilitation of two trainers from the Norwegian Refugee Council/Internally Displaced Monitoring Center (NRC/IDMC), namely Christophe Beau and Kim Mancini, the training covered the following topics:
• Who is an Internally Displaced Person?
• Testimonies: Who is an IDP?
• The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement: General Presentation
• The Guiding Principles: Legal Origins and International Obligations
• Protection from displacement
• Protection during displacement
The next step in this programme will be a 'training of trainers workshop', following the preparation of a one-day training module on IDP protection.
The training seminars held in Mersin during 15-16 June and 19-20 June were organized for Damage Assessment Commissions. 125 commission members from 19 provinces in South, Southeast and Northeast Turkey attended these seminars. Mersin Governor Hüseyin Aksoy made the opening speech, and representing the Ministry of the Interior, Deputy-General Director Vasip Şahin, Branch Director from the Provincial Administration General Directorate Ali Fidan, and Abdurrahman Savaş from the Strategy Development Board also participated as speakers.
Rhodri Williams from the Brookings Institute and Peter van Auweraert from International Organisation for Migration were the international resource persons who provided an analysis of different global experiences regarding compensation. Kerem Altıparmak from Ankara University's Political Science Faculty also participated at the seminars to draw conclusions. UNDP Turkey and UNHCR attended the seminar as observers.
Global experience on internal displacement highlights that ensuring a voice for civil society and active engagement by NGOs in IDP return and integration processes is vital for rights-based durable solutions to the problems of IDPs. The UNDP's work on supporting the development of a national IDP response program is therefore equally focused on capacity building for the civil society and on supporting platforms for the voice of civil society to impact government policies.
Presentations at the Training Programme for the Members of Damage Assessment Commissions – June 2006
· Ali Fidan - Reparation of Damages Arising From Terror and Fight Against Terror
· Peter Van der Auweraert - Operational Challenges in Large-Scale Reparation Programmes
· Rhodri C. Williams - IDP Joint Training Program for Commission Members
· Vasip Sahin – Training Seminar "Implementation of Law No.5233"

fantastic" by Mr Allen
My Kitchen Cook & Bake 20cm Loose-Based Sandwich Tin
I think the My Kitchen range is simply fanstaic. I have two of these cake tins and they make a perfect cake every time. I am slowly in the process of adding to my "My Kitchen" collection as I have not found a better quality non-stick product before.
Featured Review
Disappointing" by Mrs Curtis
My Kitchen Cook & Bake 20cm Loose-Based Sandwich Tin
I was really hoping this to be a great product as I have had so many great things from Lakeland.
I bought the 6 inch, 8 inch and 12 inch tins from the Reading shop. They are heavyweight and looked the part but every cake I have made in all three tins have burnt around the outside and struggled to cook in the middle.
As a result I am throwing them out and going back to my old bakeware that cooks lovely cakes each time. Such a shame as I really wanted them to perfect, I'm just glad I hadn't got round to getting rid of the old tins.
A note from the team: Thanks for taking the time to write your review and speaking to me on the phone. Our colleagues at the Reading store will be happy to help.

The days are slowly getting shorter, the nights are slowly getting cooler, and before you know what's happening, summer is quickly coming to an end. For most families, that means getting into back-to-school mode. Although you're probably dreading the school supplies shopping rush at your local bargain department store, you might still be secretly excited for a little more free time that comes with the kids back in class. However, as delightful as the thought of a little time to yourself sounds, the end of summer also likely means less opportunities for family time... for a while.

Marie McCarthy, Head of Marketing at DeSL commented, "We are delighted to launch this initiative and help do what we can to support the career development of tomorrow's fashion designers and production teams.

Is Amazon Android's Last Stand for a Hit Honeycomb Tablet?
Is Amazon Android's Last Stand for a Hit Honeycomb Tablet?
The Amazon Android tablet meme was revived in full force last week after stories by the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times unearthed more details about a media consumption device that could challenge Apple's iPad or other e-reader devices.
The Journal said consumers can expect a tablet equipped with a 9-inch screen that connects users to Amazon's extensive media content, including Amazon MP3 music and Cloud Player and Amazon Instant Video. Such a device would run the Android "Honeycomb" tablet-tailored OS.
Amazon also has an Android Appstore to offer users thousands of applications written for the open-source platform, though the device will not have a camera. The company is having an Asian hardware manufacturer-some have said Samsung-build the machine.
The Times meanwhile said Amazon has struggled with how to position the device, debating "the pros and cons of an Amazon tablet running Android versus Amazon building its own operating system based on the existing Kindle platform."
The market is increasingly saturated with Honeycomb tablets such as the Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Toshiba Thrive and Acer Iconia Tab 500, among others. None of them have proven hot sellers to date.
Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdry-who has criticized Honeycomb tablets in the past as buggy and not efficient or particularly user-friendly for the vast majority of consumers-doesn't believe Amazon will deliver Honeycomb's salvation.
Chowdry believes that if Honeycomb were going to succeed in this digital, Internet-oriented age, it would have been an instant hit, noting that a successful market product is usually defined within the first hour or two of its launch.
As examples, he pointed to Apple's iPhone, iPad and even the new Google+ social network, which racked up 10 million users in two weeks.
"In the Internet space, there is no second chance. You get it right or screw it up and move on to the next project," Chowdry said. "In these areas, you have exponential growth, or no growth. Honeycomb is a failure, period."
However, Forrester Research analyst Sarah Rotman Epps, who has been expecting an Amazon Android tablet for months to try to challenge Apple's iPad domination, doesn't think this is Honeycomb's last stand.
Epps pointed to Sony' S1 and S2 slates, which are coming to the market in September, as high-quality Honeycomb tablets.
Honeycomb Tablets Not Done Yet, Epps Says
"We're in inning 2 for Android," Epps said. However, she acknowledged, "It's fair to say the Honeycomb software is not as developed as iOS and it doesn't deliver the features consumers expect from an operating system like Windows."
Epps does believe Amazon, with its vast content ecosystem and e-commerce distribution of customers, could provide a strong, low-cost alternative to the iPad.
The device might not stack up in hardware sophistication, but it could be subsidized-$300 or less-by Amazon, which could eat the remaining costs or offer a tablet paired with advertising.
"I have no doubt that Amazon's tablet will far outsell the other Android tablets that have been on the market so far, but it's not Android's last gasp," Epps said.
Epps said Amazon will compete with the iPad in three ways: on price, assuming they sell the hardware at a loss as they have done with the Kindle; in the cloud, where Apple is behind; and in e-commerce, where Amazon is the undisputed leader. She said 47 percent of tablet owners have reported researching and purchasing products from their tablet.
IDC analyst Bob O'Donnell believes Amazon will offer two tablets: one low-cost device priced around $249 to compete with the Barnes & Noble Color Nook e-reader and one more traditional 10-inch tablet for $399 to rival the iPad.
IDC considers this Android-based device a tablet; O'Donnell said it was one of the best-selling Android tablets in the first quarter this year, better than even the Amazon Kindle sales.
"Here's the problem: All of these Android guys are pretty much offering the same product," O'Donnell said. "They're all of the same thing and have been priced the same. Now you're seeing the PC guys [Acer, Toshiba] come in cheaper."
Whether the Amazon Android tablet is targeted at the iPad or the Nook, Chowdry believes Apple will be unfazed by the salvo. He said Honeycomb's ecosystem is "fundamentally broken because Google is going with reach," diluting its value proposition.
"You have got to have a good balance between reach and profitability, and Apple iPad has it right," Chowdry told eWEEK. "Developers are getting more traction, more revenues, better support and better tools from Apple's ecosystem versus Android."

Atos SE[3] is a French multinational IT services corporation headquartered in Bezons, France, that provides hi-tech transactional services, consulting and technology services, systems integration and managed services. Atos also receives contracts for outsourced public services from some governments, such as the United Kingdom. Atos operates under the brands Atos, Atos Consulting & Technology Services, Worldline and Atos Worldgrid.[4][5]
In the UK, from 1998 - 2014, Atos was at the centre of serious controversy in the United Kingdom over the management won in contracts by their healthcare division of the widely derided Work Capability Assessment for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP),[6] The DWP negotiated an early exit from the existing WCA contract with Atos, after raising concerns about the quality of its work.[7]
The company was formed in 1997 through a merger of two French IT companies; and combined with the Dutch-based company Origin B.V. in 2000 to become Atos Origin.[8] It subsequently acquired KPMG Consulting in 2002 and SchlumbergerSema in 2004.
In 2010 Atos Origin announced the buyout of Siemens IT Solutions and Services and finalized the acquisition in July 2011. Afterwards, the company name reverted to Atos.[9][10]
In 1996, Origin B.V. was created after a merger of the Dutch company BSO and the Philips C&P (Communications & Processing) division, while a year later in 1997, Atos was created following a merger of the French companies Axime and Sligos.[11] In 2001, Atos Origin sold its Nordic operations to WM-data. In 2002, it made a major acquisition by buying KPMG Consulting in the United Kingdom and in the Netherlands. Then in 2004, it acquired SchlumbergerSema, the IT service division of Schlumberger and took over the infrastructure division of ITELLIUM, a subsidiary of KarstadtQuelle.[12]
At the same time (2004), the company created a new subsidiary, Atos Worldline, and the renaming of its consulting activities as Atos Consulting. Also in 2004, Atos Origin Australia, originating from Philips, was sold to Fujitsu. In 2005, Atos Origin sold its activities in the Nordic region, which had become part of the company with the acquisition of Sema Group, to WM-data while in 2006, Atos Origin sold its operations in the Middle East to local management.[13]
In October 2007, Philippe Germond replaced longtime CEO Bernard Bourigeaud. Two shareholders, the hedge funds Centaurus Capital and Pardus Capital, tried to gain control over the company via the supervisory board.[14] In November 2008, the boardroom battle came to an end when Thierry Breton replaced Philippe Germond as chairman and CEO.[14]
In August 2010 Atos Origin acquired Indian payment company Venture Infotek. In December 2010 Atos Origin agreed to acquire the IT Solutions and Services subsidiary of Siemens for €850 million.[15] As part of the transaction, Siemens agreed to take a 15% stake in the enlarged Atos, to be held for a minimum of five years.[15]
The company dropped the "Origin" suffix of its name in July 2011 after completing its acquisition of the Siemens unit.[16]
In June 2012 the CEO of the UK Border Agency revealed that Atos was responsible for major disruptions in the Agency's IT systems over the prior months.[17]
In November 2011 Atos and software services provider Ufida International Holdings formed the joint venture Yunano. The two companies invested EUR 5.7million. Atos has 70 percent and UFIDA has 30 percent. The joint venture has its HQ in Bezons, France, a suburb of Paris.[18] In 2012 Atos announced the creation of a new company called Canopy.[19] The CEO is Jacques Pommeraud.[20] In 2011 Atos introduced a Zero Email initiative,[21] banning email as a form of internal communications, except for use with customers and prospects.[22] As part of the intitiative, Atos acquired the French software company blueKiwi in early 2012, rolling out their ZEN social networking software across its organisation.[23]
According to a National Audit Office report on the government's four biggest suppliers, Atos earned £700 million in revenue from the public sector in the UK in 2012; of £7.2bn sales worldwide.[24] Atos has been dogged by allegations of bad practice in recent years yet has continued to win massive contracts from the UK government. Atos holds £3bn worth of UK government contracts providing services to a wide range of organizations including:
In addition, Atos provides occupational healthcare at more than 150 centres in the UK.[29]
In late 2008, Atos Origin was one subject of a government enquiry after a memory stick with passwords and user names for a government computer system was found in the car park of a public house.[30]
In 2012, Atos, who operate the IT system for the Home Office, was responsible for the "great computer freeze" of the UKBA which left hundreds of people queuing at the UK Border Agency offices in Croydon when the system broke down and caused chaos at Heathrow Airport.[31]
The involvement of Atos in government benefit contracts dates back to 1998. A good deal of the criticism from claimants was directed at the way Atos staff dealt with them personally, on a human level.[32] The Welfare Reform Act 2007 introduced Work Capability Assessments (WCAs) to determine who should receive Employment and Support Allowance (ESA). Decisions are taken by officials at the DWP using evidence from the assessments, carried out by the Atos subsidiary Atos Healthcare.[33] Following the implementation of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 ESA claimants have been subject to rigorous WCAs to determine their level of disability and ability to work.[34][35] Atos has received extensive allegations of severe distress and also widespread deaths amongst those assessed. MPs, the clergy and leading charities have demanded the assessment be withdrawn.[36][37] According to the Financial Times, Atos staff have received death threats as a result of its assessments.[38] On 21 February 2014, Atos confirmed that it is seeking an early exit from its £500 million WCA contract with the DWP.[33] Its departure was announced in March 2014 with a replacement contractor to be appointed in early 2015.[39] Facing questioning by the Commons Work and Pensions Committee, Atos senior vice president Lisa Coleman conceded an inability to make a sufficient profit was a factor in the firm's decision to withdraw from the contract, for which it has had to pay compensation.[40]
Atos was also awarded a contract in 2013 to carry out tests for the new Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for disabled people, with the aim of reducing the projected cost of the benefit by 20 per cent by 2015-16. PIP replaces the Disability Living Allowance and determines whether people are entitled to extra money to help cope with disability – such as cars, equipment or nursing. Atos's £400m PIP contracts over five years cover the southeast and north of the UK, accounting for about 75 per cent of disability living allowance claimants. Capita, a rival outsourcing company, has the remainder.[41]
In early 2014 Atos was awarded the contract for the care.data General Practice Extraction Service (GPES) program run by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC).[42][43]
The total value of contracts that had been awarded to Atos by June 2013 was approximately £1.6bn.[44] It was disclosed in November 2013 through the National Audit Office that Atos paid no Corporation Tax at all in the UK in 2012.[45]
In 2004, the BBC contracted out its former BBC Technology division to the German engineering and electronics company Siemens IT Solutions and Services (SIS), outsourcing its IT, telephony and broadcast technology systems.[46] When Atos Origin acquired the SIS division from Siemens in December 2010 for €850 million (£720m),[10] the BBC support contract also passed to Atos, and in July 2011, the BBC announced to staff that its technology support would become an Atos service.[47] Siemens staff working on the BBC contract were transferred to Atos and BBC technology systems (including the BBC website) are now managed by Atos. In 2011 the BBC's Chief Financial Officer Zarin Patel stated to the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee that, following criticism of the BBC's management of major IT projects with Siemens (such as the Digital Media Initiative), the BBC partnership with Atos would be instrumental in achieving cost savings of around £64 million as part of the BBC's "Delivering Quality First" programme.[48] In 2012, the BBC's Chief Technology Officer, John Linwood, expressed confidence in service improvements to the BBC's technology provision brought about by Atos. He also stated that supplier accountability had been strengthened following some high-profile technology failures which had taken place during the partnership with Siemens.[49] In February 2014 the BBC announced the intention to extend its contract with Atos for a further two years as part of transitioning to new supply arrangements involving multiple suppliers. The Atos contract is now expected to run until 2017 instead of 2015 as planned at present.[50]
In 2012, Atos won a seven-year contract to implement Manchester's planned "Oyster Card" public transport scheme to manage a planned electronic smart card ticketing scheme on behalf of Transport for Greater Manchester, the region's public transport agency.[51] The company says the cards will be available to use on trams within two years, before being further rolled out to cover buses and trains in the region.[52]
Atos has been the official IT Partner for the Olympic Games since 2001 and is expected to continue until at least 2020.[53] Atos, through the SchlumbergerSema's acquisition, was involved in previous Games during the 1990s, starting with the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992. Atos has been one of 11 major sponsors for the Olympic Games since 2001.[54]
In 2011, some UK-based disability campaign groups called for a boycott of the 2012 Summer Paralympics due to Atos' sponsorship of the games and Atos Healthcare's UK contract to perform Work Capability Assessments on behalf of the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP)[55] During the first week of the Paralympics in the summer of 2012, activists and disabled people targeted Atos in a series of nationwide protests.[56] This culminated on Friday 31 August with a demonstration outside Atos headquarters in London,[57] which ended in a confrontation with the police.[58]
Through the International Olympic Committee's TOP (The Olympic Partner) programme, Atos has sponsored athletes from all over the globe in order to support their Olympic ambitions, including Danny Crates, the 2004 Paralympic Champion in the 800m.[59][60][61][62]
Atos have been named as an Official Supporter of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.[63] On 26 June 2013, "Glasgow Against Atos" occupied one of the Commonwealth Games venues in protest against Atos sponsorship.[64]

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

You might've heard the catchy-as-hell club hit "Ladyfingers" on the Yes New York compilation, but this Brooklyn band's got a few more memorable ruses in mind. "Slow Club," the album's highlight, stumbles along in literal motion, with a Bauhaus-lite bass line, stuttering drums, and a sing-along chorus that manages to usurp half the Rapture's catalog. "Cold Blooded," "Artificial Heart," and "Scorpio" are filled with the dark, spastic fervor and calculated new/no wave that maintains camaraderie with the Faint. As with most bands of this ilk, it can't all be neon-lit roses, and tracks like "Nite Vision" get carried away in muddled aggression.
The Fever isn't likely to usher in the umpteenth wave of next-big-thingness, and the tired "I'm hip and from New York" act (like the promo shot that includes singer Geremy Jasper with a cigarette dangling from his mouth) doesn't add any urgency to the album. Just enjoy the jams before they burn up. -- Kiran Aditham

The highly experienced and dedicated instructors at TC Dance Club International teach students the ways of gracefully gliding across a dance floor. In private and group lessons, they elucidate steps in styles such as swing, salsa, waltz, rumba, and merengue, prepping students to strut their stuff at the social dance parties. During these mingle-friendly events, the staffers encourage rug cutters to partner up with dancers of varying skill levels to hone their moves and meet new folks.
Inside the 9,000-square-foot University Performing Arts Centre, dance students as young as three years old tumble, pirouette, and tap through five studios. The centre's courses accommodate students of all ages and concentrations, ranging from classic ballet for kids to fitness-based jazz classes for adults. In the summertime, Princess camps are offered Monday through Friday, keeping kids active during the day with dance practice and dressing up like royalty.
Artistry, technique, and creativity dominate the curriculum at The Center for Contemporary Dance. The nonprofit organization is supported by the United Arts of Central Florida and its instructors—many of whom have credentials spanning decades of professional dance—adhere to the National Standards for Dance Education. Mindful of these standards, they stage classical, contemporary and world dance classes for adults, teens, and kids. Their facility features two air-conditioned studios, each outfitted with a sound system, sprung wooden flooring, and mirrored walls so that people can flirt with themselves using their new dance moves. In addition to fostering the future of dance, The Center for Contemporary Dance celebrates movement's current state by producing a new season of dance performances each year.
Marino Dance Club founders Cindie and Jose Marino each bring more than 28 years of experience to the dance floor as they edify couples, kids, or solo dancers in the art of ballroom dance. Students can bring a partner or meet someone new in the intimate studio characterized by warmly painted walls and lighting that turns down when the music comes up or multiple microwaves are used at once. Group or private lessons cover the fundamental steps, spins, and transitions of styles such as the waltz, tango, and cha-cha, and practice parties provide a social gathering to try out newly acquired skill sets. Twice a year, Marino Dance Club invites its student body to the Grand Ballroom of the Sheraton Orlando to showcase their talents with freestyle dances and solo exhibitions in front of a panel of judges and an enthusiastic audience.
Teaching hips to swivel to new circumferences, dance instructors impart their masterful moves unto students in the respected tradition Arthur Murray schools have upheld since 1912. Students can bring a partner to their lessons or fly solo and dance with the instructor. Protégés may find their new moves applicable in a number of settings, such as when prepping for a wedding dance or when blending into an airport crowd that breaks out in the cha-cha. Embodying the three-count time of a stately waltz brings partners in close, and rumba moves or swing steps add vibrancy and playfulness to a repertoire.
The Orlando studio provides a warm, aesthetically sound environment for engaging in private and group dance lessons. The full class schedule is well suited to teaching feet to slice and dice a rug until it is no longer recognizable.
Personal trainer Nicole Williams founded Allure Dance & Fitness Studio to bring clients closer to their health goals through fitness classes, personal-training sessions, and intense, empowering pole-dancing lessons. Having dubbed the pole "the new dumbbell," Nicole now draws on more than 10 years of experience training everyone from housewives to celebrities as she brings full-body pole workouts to the masses. Nicole and her coterie of instructors specialize in pole dancing, but also lead personal-training sessions and classes that incorporate kickboxing, plyometric, and cardio techniques. Along with classes, Allure hosts private pole parties to sprinkle some spice into birthdays, bachelorette parties, and routine training for streetlight cleaners.

This is my second credit line increase.
Waited exactly four statements, hit the trigger and went from 900 to 1100. I love how reliable paypal smart connect is with increases.
I got my bbrzmc and smart connect at the same time. Difference is the bbrzmc is still at 100 and ppsc went from 300 to 1100.
What a huge difference. I wonder what card gets the most money from me??? mmhmm lol
I hate HSBC
where did you see that increase credit line button on your BBRZMC website?i couldn't find it anywhere.
