First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Pocono Medical Center's Biggest Winner Challenge is more than just a six-month weight-loss contest.
Sure, the person who loses the highest percentage of body weight wins.
But the goal of the challenge is to encourage and teach participants how to make lifestyle changes that lead to healthier lives.
Originally, the weight-loss program designed by Dr. Musa Tangoren, a PMC anesthesiologist, was offered to employees in two of the hospital's departments.
"Because of the program's success, the decision was made to offer the program to the community as the Biggest Winner Challenge," PMC spokesman Geoffrey Roche said.
The program launched April 22 when participants had their initial weigh-in.
"However, due to the incredible response we received, we then did an alternate launch on April 30," said Thomas Dimino, PMC's community outreach coordinator.
Meeting on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, participants are now approaching the challenge's halfway mark.
The last weigh-in and celebration for the winner, as well as all of the participants who accepted the challenge to become healthier, will be on Oct. 28.
The winner will receive an iPad.
Three of the participants shared their thoughts and what they learned about themselves during the first half of their journey to a healthier lifestyle.
Age: 52
Starting weight: 185
Current weight: 162
Motivation to join program: Lower cholesterol, increase my energy and better my health.
Secrets to success:
Discipline, clean eating and regular support from my sister, who also joined the program.
Favorite snack: Sliced apple with almond butter.
Favorite exercise: Zumba
What have you learned about yourself so far: I can be successful with support. This program has provided me with much-needed motivation and accountability through regular weigh-ins and inspiring lectures. Also, disciplined eating and exercise is rewarded in pounds lost, and energy and confidence gained. I've learned to enjoy this journey and be patient with myself and to stay consistent, and I'll reach my goal.
Age: 52
Starting weight: 190-ish
Current weight: 174.5
"Motivation to join program
I also play on a softball team, but so far the only running I've done is to first base.
What have you learned about yourself so far: There is no magic pill to make you thinner. I have learned that the reason I am overweight is because I eat way too much and don't exercise nearly enough. OK, honestly, I rarely intentionally exercise. But I'm working on that, too. That old habits can be changed, but only one at a time. If I try to change everything at once, I will be doomed to falling back into making not-so-healthy choices.
Age: 49
Starting weight: 273.5
Current weight: 267
Motivation to join program:
I wanted to be healthier and be around longer for my family.
I also have a friend that joined the same time as I did.
Secrets to success: Telling yourself you can do it. I found writing everything down helped. Then when I had a weigh-in where I didn't lose as much, I could go back and look at my journal and see what I ate and what might have made the difference. My friend also keeps me motivated when it comes to going to the gym. She keeps me from making excuses.
Favorite snacks: Greek yogurt is my favorite and so is granola, carrots and celery. I don't drink any soda anymore — just water. And I don't eat chips as a snack anymore.
Favorite exercise: I use the elliptical for 30 minutes. When I first tried it I could only do five minutes.
What have you learned about yourself so far: I have become a better person and happier with myself. I also learned that I make the choice to have a happy day.

The book you have in your hands contains select short stories chosen from the book "Dastane Rastan". I being a young girl was highly fascinated by reading this book. It struck to my mind that some of its stories should be translated for the benefit of those children who do not know Persian. Since this is my first effort, I have selected only fourteen most interesting stories of the pious men including Prophet Muhammad (SA) and some of our infallible Imams (AS).

Depending on the quality of your power, 3 weeks of not monitoring the
UPS is hardly the riskiest thing you'll ever do.
The essential purpose of monitoring the UPS is so that the server can
do a graceful shutdown. An old trick to use X brand UPS is to plug an
old modem into the UPS and cable it to OpenServer. Write a script to
sample the modem periodically. If it's not available, assume you're
on battery and act accordingly.
But to answer your question directly, OpenServer 6 comes with a simple
APC monitor. I'm using it with a Smart-UPS 3000XL.

Sea of Words
A pagragraph is like a sea of words. It's a rectangular block of words that are mixed with regular words along with articles, prepositions, adverbs, pronouns, etc Imagine that you are diving into the paragraph looking for words. How many of them do you know? How many don't you know? Choose the words that are chunky, not the little ones that cement the other words in place. Choose a Spanish book or a newspaper. Look at a paragraph and pretend it's a sea and you're diving for words. It will be interesting to put them in columns titled, "Words I Know" and "Words I Don't Know." Take the words you don't know and go to the web and type in "Sentence Maker Spanish." When you get the page of the sentence maker, type in the words you don't know one at a time. Can you figure out what the word means from the sentence that is given? Use the other words in the sentence to give you clues. This is an interesting way to get close to words and paragraphs.

In the rocky hills above Nice, where Queen Victoria once took tea, there's a culinary revolution taking place. Jean-Marc Delacourt and his wife Annie just rode into town; sleepy scenic Falicon will never be the same again. Her Maj would not be amused; or perhaps she would. Anyway the old girl would certainly enjoy the food; more of that later. It's Delacourt's audacious concept that needs discussing. Think old musty "Le Bellevue" restaurant, the sort your folks liked because it was "part of the wonderful French tradition, dear". You were bored stiff, and apart from the stunning views probably sat ("don't put your elbows on the table dear, it's so rude!") thinking; wishing, why doesn't somebody open a "reality restaurant" with a TV in the room and hip designer-dressed dudes serving world wines and opening our eyes to unknown herbs and spices. Hey, now it's happened! And Delacourt's no maverick upstart – he recently threw in the tea-towel at the achingly posh Chateau de la Chevre d'Or, Eze, where he had 2-Michelin stars because; "I wanted to be chez moi, in a live restaurant".
And, no kidding, Delacourt's put the TV in the salle! OK, it's not showing Matrix Reloaded, but it does transmit the kibbutzing in the cuisine – so you can see if they lick the spoons and don't wash them; if they wash the lettuce; pat the dog; pick their noses; all in glorious technicolour. No it doesn't detract from the food, it's a good idea. The service is not fast because Parcours is packed (good gastronomic news travels fast in these parts) and there's only so much three chefs can do, especially when everything's cooked to order, there's no room for a freezer, the kitchen's too small. What you can do, while waiting, is discuss the eclectic wines with Jean Francois Lemoine the assistant sommelier. The main man, Franck Thomas, set the whole thing up, but he's always off searching for stunning new stuff and winning Meilleur Sommelier competitions so he's not there all the time. Lemoine's no slouch, knows his world wines, prestige wines, even changes mineral waters each month, because "there's certain types suitable for certain months". Coffee, champagne, everything changes continually, "selected to match the chefs creations", he explains.
"Passion rules here", insists Delacourt, who changes his menus (30€ or 45€) daily according to what he finds in Cours Saleya, the Nice market, and from little producers in the back country where he finds organic tasty beef, chickens and cheeses. "It's a question of sharing my art, I want as many people as possible to taste my cooking, that's why my menus are priced so low", says the man who has won more Meilleur Ouvrier Awards than you've had hot dinners. "There are no frontiers where my kitchen is concerned, my dishes are inspired by time I've spent in America (The Biltmore, Miami), The Conrad, Punta del Este, The Touessrok, Ile Meurice, St. Moritz, Switzerland and Japan (The Meridien Grand Pacific, Kyoto) and bien sûr, France!"
Parcours is open for lunch and dinner, leave enough time to wander through the cobblestone village, where time stands still – only Delacourt is moving. Contrasts, contrasts, Parcours will be copied, just like the vulgar Vuitton/Hermes/Pradas peddled on the beaches of the Côte d'Azur, but there's only one Jean-Marc Delacourt, the Picardy born perfectionist.

Truffle UK, an enterprising British company based in Dorset in the South of England, is selling oak trees impregnated with truffle spores. It'll cost you about 425€ and take between five and ten years for the trees to produce the famous "black diamonds" for which you'll pay between 680-850€ per kilo chez Hediard. It's up to you to decide because "results are not guaranteed" according to Adrian Cole, director of Truffle UK.

Categorical proposition, in syllogistic or traditional logic, a proposition or statement, in which the predicate is, without qualification, affirmed or denied of all or part of the subject. Thus, categorical propositions are of four basic forms: "Every S is P," "No S is P," "Some S is P," and "Some S is not P." These forms are designated by the letters A, E, I, and O, respectively, so that "Every man is mortal," for example, is an A-proposition. Categorical propositions are to be distinguished from compound and complex propositions, into which they enter as integral terms; in particular, being assertions of fact rather than of logical connections, they contrast especially with hypothetical propositions, such as "If every man is mortal, then Socrates is mortal."

British Guy the reason Serena gets attacked much more than Venus is not due to grandslam title count, Venus has 7 not Serena's 12 but 7 is a very high number. The reason Serena gets attacked is because of her personality. When you have a cocky, brash, flamboyant personality people are going to feel passionate either for the hate or love side. CR9 in football draws i hate him or i love him, no ahh he is ok i guess. Lebron james in basketball. Novak, and Murray are the same way in tennis (who by the way are not nearly as bad as Serena in the arrogance department). now compare that to Davy who is really shy and rarely do fans have passionate opinions of him. Serena I hate (yes she backs it up but doesn't change the fact thats how she behaves.) Venus i feel sorry for because she sometimes catches the heat unfairly due to being a part of the "williams due". And Imagine that i don't like serena, CR9, novak, murray, or lebron huh i wonder?

Manager Joe Maddon tempered the notion the Cubs are looking exclusively at upgrading their pitching staff.
"AlI I know is that (President) Theo Epstein and (general manager) Jed Hoyer have all kinds of different lines in the water," Maddon said before Saturday night's 6-1 loss to the Brewers at Miller Park. "Like any GMs at this time, they're always looking to make us better.
"If something were to make sense, I'm sure they'd consider it."
With about 60 percent of the season passed, the Cubs have managed 58 wins despite the season-long struggles of right fielder Jason Heyward and the recent slump of All-Star Ben Zobrist.

Candy Corn Kisses
I browse eBay a lot, just to see what sort of candy is being sold. It's a good place to "make a friend" in a particular area who can send you a special candy on a regular basis. Of course a good deal of the candy on eBay is also Limited Edition items, which can be devilish to find as inventories wear thin in parts of the country.
It's also a great way for me to find out about newer Limited Editions. Like the Candy Corn Kisses that showed up there last week. I immediately searched all my best spots (RiteAid, WalMart, Target & CVS) with no results. So I emailed Hershey's ... they confirmed that they exist at least.
Then yesterday I gave Target another try and there they were!
I must admit, they're lovely. The wrappers are silver, yellow and orange with little flags that say Candy Corn.
Upon opening the bag I can only say that they stink to high heaven, like fake butter flavor (perhaps I should be concerned that there's diacetyl in there and I'm going to get Pop Corn Workers Lung?).
Unwrapping the foil, they are super-cute layers just like candy corn. Wider on the bottom than normal candy corn, the proportions may be a little squat, the colors are also rearranged, with yellow on the bottom and orange in the middle, instead of the reverse. I can see why they did it though, it is a pleasant combo.
While I enjoy candy corn that has a slight honey or caramelized sugar taste to it, these go for the buttered corn flavor. I know that the Buttered Popcorn Jelly Belly is one of the most popular, but it's never floated by boat. Same with this one ... a little caramely white chocolate would have made me very happy. This doesn't. The fake butter just turns my stomach when I smell it. If I don't smell it, then they're not bad, not too sweet with a light little hit of salt.
Unlike many of the other white confection offerings from Hershey's, these are not white chocolate (which has a cocoa butter base). The ingredients go like this:
I think the idea is cute and I could actually see these being a great cookie decoration (as suggested on the package with a peanut butter cookie recipe). Other than that, I'm going to just admire the photos and the idea and keep the package way from me. I couldn't decide what rating to give this, mostly because my personal revulsion to fake butter flavor (it actually gives me a headache when someone makes microwave popcorn) is, well, a personal thing. The product is well executed ... I just wish they called them Butter Kisses and made them like real candy corn, not that Milk Maid Caramel Candy Corn. My nose said give them a two out of ten. But looking at the photos, I can't help but bump it up to a four out of ten ... what can I say, I'm a sucker for design!
UPDATE 9/25/2007: I found out from Hershey's that this is an item that they created exclusively for Target. So don't bother looking anywhere else but Target & eBay for these.
UPDATE 9/5/2008: The Candy Corn Kisses have returned for 2008. I found them both at Target and Rite Aid, so they are enjoying a wider release this year.

Shockers Squeez
Last year a new product came out called SweeTarts Squeez. It's basically a paste made of a little water and mashed up SweeTarts.
I never reviewed them here even though I tried them because it only came in two flavors: Cherry and Green Apple. Since they're not really my favorite flavors, I didn't think it was a good idea to evaluate them based on those, I kept thinking that they'd come out with the classic Grape, but no such luck.
However, last week I saw an announcement that Wonka was bringing out a Shockers version of the Squeez line and one of their first flavors was going to be lemon. I enjoy the SweeTart Shockers ... they're blisteringly sour (I'm salivating just thinking about them!) and the citrus flavors are undoubtably the best.
When I was a kid I used to make a version of this Squeez stuff. It involved taking Pixy Stix (or the cheaper and less flavorful Filled Plastic Fruit) and a little water and making a paste. This could then be spread (or glopped) onto lips as a special tangy lipgloss (and facial peel) or slathered onto a green apple Jolly Rancher Stix. As a special treat, sometimes I made something else: take a little single-serve pack of saltines (like you get with your soup at a diner), smash the crackers completely into a fine power while still in the wrapper. Then carefully open the package at the top and pour in as many Pixy Stix as you have. Jello-O powder will also do in a pinch. Add a small amount of water, enough to form a dough. Mash completely together. Spread on other crackers or eat by squeezing bits onto the tongue. )If the dough is particular firm, small balls can be created, lined up on the windowsill to dry for later.) The combination of salt, light crunch from the crackers that weren't completely soggy yet and the sour of the Pixy Stix was, well, an interesting way to pass a half hour in front of the TV watching old episodes of the Monkees.
But enough of about that!
Shockers Squeez comes in a little tube, larger than a travel size of toothpaste. Flip the top and squeeze some out onto your finger. The texture is rather like toothpaste, except that the "grit" actually dissolves.
Tongue Trippin' Lemon smells pretty good, but not much like lemons. It smells like that cloud of powder the comes out of a can of Country Time Lemonade Drink Mix. It's immediately sour and then has a metallic lemon note that tastes like, well, lemonade drink mix, but a bit more intense.
The sugary part feels slightly cool on the tongue, like Pixy Stix do.
Mouth Blastin' Berry also has a similar tangy scent, like a fruit punch drink mix.
The thick paste isn't quite as tart as the lemon, but still similarly sour like a SweeTart. Unlike Shockers, which start tangy and then become rather sweet, these are tart all the way.
There are probably many ways to eat these, I found that just squeezing a dot out of the tube and wiping it up with my finger and into my mouth was the cleanest and most satisfying. Amy, from next door, just put it directly onto her tongue in much larger proportions that I did. The blue does make the tongue, well, bluish.
I could see experimenting with other candies, like putting it on Red Vines or maybe throwing a dollop on a lollipop every once in a while. I can say that it doesn't go very well with coffee, but you probably already knew that. I haven't tried it on Saltines ... I could only find some Rye Crisps left over from the last time I got soup ... that's not so hot. They might make a good icing accent on some cupcakes. I'm eager to try them on my Peeps! But the price is kind of prohibitive. Regular SweeTarts are far cheaper.
These are available in stores now. I saw them at the checkout at Von's last week (the same day that these samples from Wonka arrived).
The first ingredient is high fructose corn syrup. The last two ingredients are yellow #5 and sodium benzoate. Kosher.

Zip Bomb
These Zip Bomb candies showed up recently in one of the 99 Cent Only stores that I visit. I thought maybe they were a knock-off of Zotz available in little pouches.
Warning: this is another story about how I am pretty much willing to try anything, no matter how much evidence is presented that it's a bad idea.
All wasn't sitting well with me long before I opened the package. Part of that was the name Zip Bomb ... that's a malicious file that's delivered as a .zip file with a gajillion files inside that will occupy scanning software while worse things go on. Perhaps these candies came along before that, right?
Of course this made me wonder what was going to happen when I put it in my mouth. Would it occupy my taste buds while it stole my wallet? Would it swell to the size of a 63 terabyte file with tart foaming sherbet and tasty hard candy and then delete all my photos?
The other thing that struck me as odd is that the website listed on the back of the package, www.zipkidz.com, doesn't exist. Oh, it might have or might someday, but as I type this, there is no website to visit for fun and games. A search on Archive.org reveals that there was a website at that address back in 2004-05. Hmm, could this code on the wrapper that says 021902 mean that they were made back in 2002?
Yes, these are the things that suddenly fill me with dread when looking at a package of candy.
But you know, I've already taken their photo ... what fun would this be if I didn't go all the way and eat some?
The little individual candies were cute in their wrappers. Sure, the design wasn't the most sophisticated in the world, but they were bright and colorful and said which flavor was which.
The candies themselves were bigger than Zotz, round instead of oval.
After putting one in my mouth I can tell you that they're not like Zotz! The hard candy has an intense sour layer on top. Seriously sour ... but it fades away pretty quickly to reveal a simple tart and flavorful hard candy.
At the center of the candy (whether you're a sucker or a cruncher) is a small reservior of sour powder. I was expecting it to foam, but it didn't. It was just sour.
The hard candies were nicely flavored, each one distinct. Blue Raspberry was my favorite followed by Strawberry and then Green Apple. Watermelon was odd, probably because I just have a stubborn part of me that thinks that sour watermelon is wrong.
I wanted more of the sour center than I got in the candies, there seemed to be more hard candy than I wanted. They're fun and something I probably would have enjoyed more as a kid than I do now, but I have to say, that first blast of throat-tingling sour is pretty fun at any age. They were probably much better when they were fresh.
Note: the candies were made in Thailand.

Niederegger Marzipan Orange
After Christmas last year I bought some marzipan that I actually loved. Made by Niederegger in Germany, these folks have been making marzipan for over 200 years. I wanted to buy more, but the only ones I've seen in stores are the regular flavor which I tried at the Fancy Food Show and found to be okay.
While I'm not ordinarily a marzipan fan, it's my dislike for Amaretto that prompts my avoidance, because I actually love almonds and eat them just about every day. But I'm coming around on marzipan ... Charles Chocolates makes an excellent and zesty set of marzipan and I was hoping that Marzipan Orange was a more easily available version of it. (But sadly, really not less expensive.)
I was a little irritated when I opened the bar to photograph it and found that it was slightly bloomed. At first I cursed myself for not storing it properly (this was before the Great Heat Wave of Labor Day Weekend '07 that got temps in my candy studio up to 99 degrees during the day when the power went out), but when I opened the other chocolate items my husband brought back from NYC (the Ritter Sport Schokowurfel and another bar) I found that it was just this one and then I raised my fist to curse the folks who sold him a SIX DOLLAR bar that had not been stored properly.
But you know, I ate it anyway. 'Cuz it smelled sooooo good. I feel pretty good about it, too.
It smells like someone has been in the kitchen juicing fresh oranges and perhaps baking cookies at the same time. The orange zest scent is lovely with an added note of vanilla and a sort of caramelly nut smell topped off with a light chocolate. It makes me happy.
Though the chocolate wasn't as creamy-melt-in-your-mouth as the capuccino one I had before, I'm pretty confident that this was still tasty stuff, with full chocolate flavor to add to the light zest of citrus. The marzipan was firm and a little on the dry side and only lightly sweet (one of the hallmarks of Niederegger). It wasn't a super-smooth, doughy version like a fondant or anything, this felt like a rustic almond paste. (It's pretty high in protein too, 4 grams per 1.4 ounce serving.)
I would definitely plunk down $6 again for a fresh and properly stored bar. I saw on the Niederegger website that they little foil wrapped pieces in various fruity flavors (this is how I've tried the plain), I'm going to keep my eyes peeled at the holidays at places like Cost Plus World Market. If you've tried these before, where have you found them? GermanDeli.com has the orange bar (and on sale for $4.99 right now).
Unfortunately it's not vegan (milk in the semisweet chocolate) but it is otherwise vegetarian.

Caramilk Maple
I guess if there were a national flavor for Canada, it'd be Maple. After all, there's a Maple leaf on their flag. How cool is it that a flag actually features a flavor? (I don't consider dragon or eagle to be a flavor ... though I suppose the Olive branches of Eritrea may count.)
Lately Canada has seen quite a few candy bars featuring Maple in it, including the shockingly red-centered Oh Henry! Oh Canada! bar and a version of the Coffee Crisp.
Caramilk are not found in the US, but its cousin, the Caramello is. It's just a Cadbury milk chocolate bar with a flowing caramel bubble inside each section. The simplicity Caramilk Maple bar really appealed to me, especially since I was hoping that the flavor of maple would cut through the intense sweetness that keeps me from eating Caramellos more often than every 5 years. (Yes, the sweetness is that satisfying!)
This Caramilk Maple bar was the full 100 gram version (3.5 ounces). A little too much Caramilk, really, but beggars can't be choosers (Amber brought this to me from Toronto back in April).
Even without breaking a section open to reveal the molten caramel, the bar smelled like sweet, woodsy maple.
Biting into the little section causes the caramel to ooze out. It's actually pretty nice, smooth and creamy and not too sweet ... it appears that the chocolate itself is the throat-burningly sweet part of this bar. The caramel filling is woodsy tasting without being too artificial and has a little salty hit to it. The milk chocolate, well it's Cadbury and it has a distinct milky flavor to it that many folks crave. I'm not one of them, but I find it interesting. It reminds me of baby formula or powdered milk.
It's a fun bar, and I think I'd probably like it in the single-portion size better (they also have a slightly different proportion of chocolate to caramel) and they also come in the Cadbury Caramel Egg for Easter. (I think they'll be back next year.)
Note: this was not marked Kosher, though American Cadbury products are.

Hey there! This is Sophie or Aslan, one of the mods over at the PC Battle Server. Quite a few newcomers recently have been asking how you get promoted, what you need to do etc. I'm sure people have explained in the past, but I can't be bothered to check unfortunately. However I will try and clarify along with throw in a few details on some of the things you will need to do, to be considered worthy of moving up a rank! Also please remember rank isn't the world's most precious thing, you can be a regular user and still enjoy the server, regardless of rank. But it is a good thing to have I suppose, so onwards we go!
How to move up... well there a few important things you need to remember. You are not going to get promoted on your first day, setting foot on the server. If that happened, there would be a total imbalance of ranks unfortunately, also things like that don't really work to be honest. Try and be active, if you have been to the server before, think when was the last time you visited? Try and check back regularly, rather than disappear off the face of the Earth, if you want to be considered. :3
What about you as a person? Rudeness and being hurtful to other members, or making them feel very uncomfortable and continuing to do so even if they tell you to stop is not tolerated. Try and be polite, along with helpful towards other members. But remember to always be yourself, don't try and fake a personality, we love people for who they are not a fake personality.
Do you follow all of the rules? Are you a troublemaker? Try and follow all of PC's and the Battle Servers rules while you are chatting. That means spamming, trolling, flaming, harassing or posting pornographic content is prohibited. We like mucking around a bit, as in joking with others and swearing is alright, but try not to use swearing excessively. Also please speak English while on the server, if you cannot understand Google Translate can be provided. However if you continue to do so, you may be muted.
Also there is a golden rule for most things that involve promotions- do not ask or you will not become one. It won't do you any benefit, in fact it might actually do the opposite. Asking for authority will most likely lessen your chances, be patient it will come to you eventually. Asking could even remove your chances, if done repeatedly.
I've been waffling on a bit and to cut straight to the ca- I mean point, generally we look for helpful people, activity and other statistics. Also battling as well, we're a battle server for a reason :x. You don't have to be a legendary trainer but try and do a few battles as well while you're at it. And well that is basically my guide.
Also if you would like to see the ranks for the server, you can always do /groups and check. Other than that thanks for reading and if anyone else would like to add something in or give feedback feel free too :3.

Will Retailers be Ready for EMV by Oct 2015?
In October 2015, the much-discussed Payment Networks' Liability Shift associated with EuroPay, MasterCard, and Visa (EMV) is due to take effect in the United States. It's a major milestone for financial companies (meaning banks and credit unions), credit card issuers, retailers, and more. There is a great deal of information, and misinformation, afloat regarding the US EMV migration roadmap as presented by the Payment Networks. Shedding some light on the realities involved is helpful for everyone concerned.
There are an estimated 1.24 billion payment cards and 15.4 million POS terminals currently in use, most of them in other countries. Making global financial transactions work across many cards and devices are smart chips embedded within new EMV-compliant credit and debit cards. These chips make interfacing with the various POS terminals possible. However, the EMVCo standard has yet to be adopted globally, a situation that the Payment Networks' EMV migration roadmap for the US intends to correct. To date, Europe, Canada, Latin America, and the Asia/Pacific region are all well on their way with migrating from the legacy magstripe standard to EMV chip card technology. The U.S., the world's single largest user of payment cards, has just begun the process. However, the potential impacts of being the last bastion of magstripe technology is forcing U.S. financial entities to take the idea seriously.
The main driver behind the EMV migration is card-related financial fraud. Despite the best efforts of global law enforcement agencies, global losses have risen steadily, increasing pressure to find a global solution. Annual costs of card fraud in the U.S. alone are estimated at $8.6 billion per year. Experts believe that figure will rise to $10 billion or higher by 2015, especially if the U.S. does not make significant progress with chip card adoption.
The rising cost of fraud is accompanied by a concurrent rise in mobile payments. In 2010, the total gross dollar volume of mobile payments in the U.S. alone was $16 billion; some experts expect this volume to rise to $214 billion by 2015. If ever there was a time to ensure compliance with a global chip-compatibility strategy that reduces fraud, it's now. This is especially true in light of the fact that many countries are now considering banning traditional magnetic stripe cards, a technology standard in use for over 40 years.
It's estimated that 40% of the world's cards and 70% of its terminals deployed outside the U.S. are today using the EMV standard. Visa, a prime mover in the US migration to EMV, states that the pace of EMV-adoption is accelerating globally, estimating that right now, 62% of transactions conducted across international borders involve a chip-enabled card used at a chip-enabled terminal. Currently, our government is content to let the financial industry set its own course- but that hands-off approach may not last long.
One key component in the EMV discussion is its accompanying liability shift. This liability shift means that those issuers and merchants using non-EMV compliant devices that choose to accept transactions made with EMV-compliant cards assume liability for any and all transactions that are found to be fraudulent. MasterCard defines the liability shift this way: The party, either the issuer or merchant, who does not support EMV, assumes liability for counterfeit card transactions. Understand that by issuer, the card companies do not mean themselves; the term refers instead to banks, credit unions, and any other financial institution issuing credit or debit cards.
Liability is an emotionally charged power word with potentially huge and disturbing ramifications. Still, the threat of assumed liability does not mean that entities involved in card-based transactions must move toward EMV compliance immediately. What it does mean is that issuers, acquirers, merchants, and others must start planning their course of action. For some, like ATM acquirers for which cross-border EMV transactions are minimal, accepting the risk imposed by the liability shift in favor of implementing compliance later might be the best strategy. For others, some EMV-related implementation is essential, so planning must begin soon, if it's not underway already.
Funding that implementation of EMV-compliant cards and devices represents a major expense item. Courtesy of Javelin Strategy & Research, here's a big picture look at potential costs involved in achieving EMV compliance in the U.S.:
No matter how you slice it, $8.65 billion is a big number, however, there is a positive aspect to this. Earlier in this post, I pointed out that by 2015 it is estimated that the annual cost in this country for card-related fraud is $10 billion. If companies commit to the $8.65 billion spend in 2014, then fraud-related costs for 2015 could drop exponentially. With improved EMV-compliant technologies and continued reduction in the frequency of fraud thanks to intensified law enforcement efforts, improvements should continue, adding up to a positive ROI.
There are other advantages worth noting:
• Many of the ATM manufacturers have already changed over to EMV-compliant technology, reducing costs on this front.
• Chip-enabled cards, while initially more expensive to produce, have a longer shelf life than magnetic stripe cards, as well as being capable of 'flash-updating,' lowering their costs over time.
• VISA offers merchants who make the conversion an incentive package, relieving some of the financial burdens on that side.
• Adoption of EMV-compliant cards and devices is seen by many as a step toward wider adoption of mobile payment methods.
So where do we stand today?
• According to EMVCo, 1.55 billion EMV cards- accounting for 41% of the total payment cards in circulation worldwide- have been issued as of Q2 2012.
• It also reports that 18.7 million EMV-compliant POS devices- accounting for 71% of the total number- were installed in Q1 2011.
This chart, courtesy of EMVco, provides a quick glance at how far along adoption is in other countries:
As far as timelines for compliance, the main entities behind the EMV Mandate have individualized their requirements. Courtesy of the SmartCard Alliance, here is a chart listing their timelines:
These dates make one thing clear: While EMV may not impact your business today, it soon will. Are you prepared?
MyrddinWilt at 11:42 pm
The cost of deploying EMV is probably greater than the annual fraud losses.
But the reasons that EMV deployment is inevitable are (1) card fraud is a major source of funds for organized crime and terrorism, (2) the costs of dealing with the fraud falls on the public purse and the government does not want to continue to pay for investigating and prosecuting preventable fraud or locking up the convicted criminals and (3) Target and Home Depot are fed up of the banks making their rubbish card security model their problem.
I think Home Depot is going to be litigating any attempt by the banks to hold them liable for the data breach. It was the bank's own negligence that made it possible.

Hi Jeri,
My apologies for the late response. But I am a Certified Payment Professional in the electronic payment industry (formerly known as the credit card processing industry). I understand that you may not see any card and that your payments are keyed-entry, but if you are key entering online, you would have to check with your payment processor to see if your credit card terminal online has EMV transactions enabled.
You also may want to check to see if you have Tokenization encrypted payments. Tokenization is another key to also make sure your payments are well protected. Tokenization is a process that will replace sensitive data information with a unique identification (that includes data with numbers and possibly letters) that will retain all information needed for the process of the transaction without compromising its security.
Let me know if you have any issues with this.
Glad that we could help.

I appreciate the time of allowing me help grow your business. Unfortunately, I do have some bad news to share with you. Your Verifone VX510 terminal is not EMV Compliant. The way to determine whether or not you have a terminal that is EMV Compliant, is if you look at your terminal, and you see a slot of some sort and the symbol on the top or side of it looks like a sim card, then your terminal would meet the EMV Compliance. If your terminal does not have a slot either in the front, or side(s) of the terminal, then it would not meet EMV Compliance, therefore you would have to upgrade your terminal. Your terminal does have to be EMV Compliant because whether you are key entering your transactions, or swiping them, you still don't know whether the card you are taking an EMV Visa or EMV Mastercard.
If your transactions fault in a Chargeback, (where your customer calls their bank forcefully resulting reversal of funds), the transaction(s) could result in a Liability Shift where you could lose your funds that were transacted if you have a Non EMV terminal.
If you have any further questions regarding whats discussed, please feel free to email me. Thank you again for allowing me help grow your business successfully.

Hi Hiawatha,
I happen to be a selling card solutions to merchants and was kinda new to EMV compliant terminals. So you are saying that regardless it's a key-in or a credit card is swiped physically in the terminal, the possibility of losing the data transactions are some of the big issues that is why a merchant should migrate to EMV Compliant Terminals. Is it also true that by October 2015, merchants who do not comply with the EMV Compliance will now borne the cost any fraudulent transactions or any claims that their customers who calls their banks to reverse payment. Thanks
Hiawatha Colbert at 12:49 pm
Yes. It is vital that every merchant complies with EMV Compliance. For whom that doesn't meet the deadline before Oct. 1st 2015, will in result pay any fraudulent transactions or claims that are due because of this new "Liability Shift". That's all what EMV is. The SIM card on the new credit cards that are currently being issued everyday as I speak, are the new keys to transactions. They have a track record of who the customer is regardless if it's keyed or swiped.

Thanks Hiawatha,
Sorry to be so 'dumb' with this technology. I need to read more. But since your are here, can I ask one more question? Just to anticipate same questions that might be asked.
I saw a payment terminal with different readers Swipe, Proximity and Chip. I believe this terminal is EMV compliant. Is it the CCARD with the SIM are the ones protected? How about the CCARD WITH mag stripes? Or even proximity app sensors? Can you explain? Thanks again.
Hiawatha Colbert at 1:21 pm
Credit Card with Mag stripes are the same cards that would be carrying now in your wallet. The credit card with a SIM card on the card are the cards that are being replaced with.
NFC (Near Field Communication) is a better way of acceptance of your using Apple Pay due to Tokenization encryption. Google Wallet and SoftCard are also good too but weak in the encryption compared to Apple Pay. But there are terminals now that offer all 3 (EMV, NFC and Credit/Debit).

Yes. Unfortunately. The deadline for Petroleum Merchants (Gas Stations) is set for Oct 1st 2017.
Hiawatha Colbert at 4:56 pm
First of all, for e-Commerce merchants, those won't be needing an upgrade. The EMV upgrade are for Face to Face merchants regardless if its keyed entry.
Wanda Love at 11:35 am
And with my anti-credit card theft idea, it doesn't matter if they are swiped, wiped, or keyed in. If the persons , who invented this idea, just took a step outside the box, for a moment. None of that is needed. Not even a chip. Why? Look at my first name and remember it. Bc you can thank me later. I can't believe that all of the ideas out already, no one can be 100% guaranteed. If I , as one person, can be, then a group of millionaires should be twice as strong. Maybe not..hmm.
Zach at 11:40 am
The information provided to you below by Hiawatha is WRONG. I am the Director of IT and Technology for a major credit card processor in the U.S. EMV requirements only impact businesses that do "Card Present" transactions. Keyed transactions are not card present. All EMV cards will continue to have card numbers and can still be keyed into a machine that is not capable of EMV. EMV has NO IMPACT on businesses that do keyed transactions. Anyone who tells you that you are not compliant is lying to you so that they can sell you a new machine that you don't need right now. I would be happy to answer any questions for you about EMV. I'm not your processor, just a nuetral voice who doesn't like to see people being taken advantage of.
email@example.com at 2:31 pm
Hi Jeri,
Zach is right, I have been in the business 14 yrs and can tell you it is in your best interest to stay away from agents who leave out the most important information… COST. Hiawatha , hopefully you are just ignorant to these fees and not intentionally leaving them out.
Lauren Tanis at 10:53 am
Hi Hiawatha — Help Please —
Someone please explain to me how this "shift in liability" is any
different than it is today — If a merchant takes any kind of
transaction that is disputed as "fraudulent' — if they can't produce a
signed receipt, the merchant will lose the chargeback — how is this any
Or reciprocally — if a merchant is EMV compliant, and someone pays with a Chip card — is that transaction chargeback proof?
Clarification please?

I have an idea that is going to be 99.9% fraud free, whether it be
keyed in or swiped. All of the ideas now by Visa and EMV are cute, but
as a consumer, I want to be protected 100%, not just a guess or hope.
I want myself and all Americans to be safe. This is the US and we are strong
in everything else, why not be stronger in securing the money we worked
for, and that helps America to continue to grow? Right now , I am just
researching the ideas that my competitors, and came across this one, which I was
already familiar with. After I find a company that will take on my idea,
the consumers are not going to want chip card.For 'what? It's not
100%! I work to hard for my money.
Wanda Love at 11:43 am
@Jeri and Hiawatha: Here are the facts:
Part of the October 2015 deadline in our roadmap is what's known as
the 'liability shift.' Whenever card fraud happens, we need to determine
who is liable for the costs. When the liability shift happens, what
will change is that if there is an incidence of card fraud, whichever
party has the lesser technology will bear the liability.
So if a merchant is still using the old system, they can still run a
transaction with a swipe and a signature. But they will be liable for
any fraudulent transactions if the customer has a chip card. And the
same goes the other way – if the merchant has a new terminal, but the
bank hasn't issued a chip and PIN card to the customer, the bank would
be liable.
The key point of a liability shift is not actually to shift liability
around the market. It's to create co-ordination in the market, so you
have issuers and merchants investing in the migration at the same time.
This way, we're not shifting fraud around within the system; we're
driving fraud out of the system.
Deborah Salanitro at 3:29 pm
OK I run a very small winery/tasting room. We use Square as our register and have a card swipe docking station we got at Staples. Since we are new – a start up really – I am hoping we wouldn't have to incur any other costs – I only recently found out about this the other day from a friend – and I am far from a "tech" or finance person so…any help is appreciated!
Amanda M at 9:43 pm
Square does have a chip reader that makes them EMV compliant. As long as they sold you the new reader you should be good. The reader would allow you to not only swipe the old mag stripe cards but also insert the portion of the card with the chip in it into the reader to read the chip data.
Hiawatha Colbert at 2:16 pm
As a Certified Payment Technologist, Square are money movers. They are not a True payment processor. They are backed by Chase Paymentech. Chase Paymentech receives a cut of that high cost 2.75% which is too much for a small business startup. Why receive on a $100 ticket $97.25, with Square when you could receive $99.93, which is 0.07% with Capital Bankcard of New York. We would be happy to take a look at your processing to provide more details.
In addition, we will have your business meet the updated Compliances & Regulations for your processing needs. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 718.723.0849. Thanks for allowing me to grow your business.

I wouldn't charge a per item fee. If you were on our free terminal program, then there would be a .35 cent batch fee. There would be $2.50 statement fee if you wanted paper statements. Annual PCI Compliance fee is $89. Call our office 718.723.0849 to discuss more. Thank you.
Hiawatha Colbert at 2:49 pm
Okay. Here is an example. For a merchant processing $10k, for the interchange rate priced at 0.07% , the cost would be $7 dollars. Then if you your transaction fee is .07 cents and you process 200 transactions that is total of $14. So your total cost will be $21 plus any statement fees or AMEX fees.
Hiawatha Colbert at 4:38 pm
I am familiar with the fact that under interchange the card-issuing bank (customers bank) deducts the interchange fee from the transaction total to pay the acquiring bank.
Thomas Brown at 3:05 pm
Why do you act like he is so wrong you can't tell what card they are gonna get to actually be accurate on the interchange charges that's like a needle in a hay stack. The right way is to send statements to see what they do and show them the real #'s he is right for the processing fees solely, but there are other fees that collectively make up a merchant account. I mean really can you tell me what cards they will get? Is it a business card, a rewards 1, EIRF debit, CPS Small Ticket Debit?

https://squareup.com/emv?gclid=CMLW863H5cQCFZRgfgodgRkAIA … It's $29.00..If you didn't pay for it you don't have it..
grewpy.com at 2:06 pm
For a startup with low volume, a solution such as Square or PayPal Now is actually the most simple and best choice. Traditional payment processing is convoluted and there's fees left and right and it can get overwhelming. When we were starting out (e-commerce business, almost no in-person transactions) we made the mistake of doing that, and the monthly fees, even if we were doing no sales, was too much to bear. I'd rather pay a few basis more PER TRANSACTION when they happen, because as a start-up you don't really know what your sales will look like one month to the next. It just makes life simple…
And by the way, Square does have the new EMV-enabled reader (which still reads magnetic stripes) available for pre-order on their site. It's $49, but if you do $100 worth of transactions in 3 months, they give you back the $49 as a credit. Like I said, start-up friendly…
(If you are e-commerce only, there are also many other new solutions out there. We are currently using Stripe.)

EMV tech is at a slow crawl because some businesses either can't be bothered, or are trying to figure out a way to put it off for the absolute last moment that the mandate allows. People like Mr. Hiawatha Colbert only serve to complicate things by saying "hey you need to comply eventually, oh look, I happen to sell EMV technology so buy it from my company" being awkward as hell towards his potential customers and not necessarily fostering a culture of understanding, mostly to try and get a foothold in the burgeoning payment technology (in the US). (Also Mr. Colbert, the CEO of Capital Bankcard New York, suddenly appears on a comment board for some reason to give "advice" aka sell his company's services? If this really you, MAYBE review the way you're approaching people to sell your services, especially as your company's lead exec?? Other people have been explaining the situation better.)
Phil Nicholls at 11:04 pm
I too work in the payments industry, but am not going to sell anyone something here! Having worked and lived in Europe and Canada I am very familiar with how these systems work for the consumer. Although all Canadian merchants use NFC or chip as default, if one uses a pre-chip Wells Fargo card in Canada, one simply swipes it (as all readers have both). Also every "at pump purchase" of gas in Canada requires that the pump "grabs" your card and hold it while you enter you PIN. It helps reduce some sorts of fraud, but statistics show that fraud simply 'shifts". Signing for a card transaction is loose security, but "tap" near field transaction (though limited in $ value) offer no security. EMV mandates are a great windfall for those making cards and devices. Frankly as a consumer the chips are durable and I like the "password protected nature". Everyone will get used to the switch. High fraud merchants will still have some types of issues and low fraud merchants will continue to have low.
darknesscrown at 4:15 pm
I own a music post-production studio and if any of my clients try to pay with a magentic strip card, I simply tell them to get cash. People aren't going to get on board and change the way they do things unless they are forced to do it. This discussion about the "cost" of converting is imbecilic. There is no cost-benefit analysis to do here. At all. It must be done whether you want to spend the money on it or not. It's 2015. Adapt or die. When I lived in Europe in 2007 they were using this technology and actively trying to get people to stop using cash. I move back to the U.S. and Americans simply refuse to change. Well, too bad. You will now. LOL

Things are looking a bit bleak at the moment.. there are indeed many dark days ahead. I would like to think that if & when we can overcome this current crisis we will be ok but we do not seem to have that particular momentum to get ourselves moving in the right direction!There are a few of us out there who are old enough to remember how much it hurt to be relegated in the 1975-76 season, it hurt like hell back then and it is hurting like f**k now!!Anyway back to the present... so if we get rid of Ramos who do we get in to replace him? Martin Jol? - thats not really an option as he is happy at Hamburg. Its not always a good idea to replace a manager so early into the season anyway!!I personally think that this crisis will eventually end and we will survive... just about, but this season will certainly be no pleasure-cruise for us and any talk of Europe next season will just be a distant pipe-dream!!

My geek sons have been helping me with some work on my site. All was going well until yesterday morning when the site suddenly wouldn't load. (Just get a blank white page in browser, though correct URL displayed in address bar.) It was loading OK the previous night.
I checked with my host's support. They said the domain (or sub-domain to be precise) is loading fine from their end. They suggested it might be an incompatible plugin. Then they observed that it seems to be an issue with the www. string - i.e public page loads without the www. but not with it. (However admin won't load either way, so nothing I can do about plugins etc.). In connection with that they suggested it
may be an issue with the .htaccess that is included with your WordPress site.
I'm too noob to understand what the .htaccess file does or what its contents might mean. (Actually my host support added it in for me a couple of years ago to address some other issue at the time.) But I can report that removing it from my blog folder makes no difference either way to this present problem.
Can someone suggest something I could investigate? Thanks.

Mississippi Power Company will ask state regulators to reconsider conditions they placed on the utility for building a coal-fired generating plant in Kemper County.
The Public Service Commission last week approved the plant application but with a lengthy set of conditions that Mississippi Power said after the decision would make it impossible to finance or construct the plant.
The three-member Mississippi Public Service Commission voted 2-1 in favor of the proposal, detailing its decision in a 50-page document.
Mississippi Power spokeswoman Cindy Duvall said Tuesday that the company's request for a rehearing will include a brief on why the conditions in the PSC's order would not allow the company to act in a fiscally responsible manner.
