Ailing state-owned coal miner Solid Energy's net value to the taxpayer has plunged from more than half a billion dollars to less than $100 million in three years, its annual result yesterday revealed.
The company reported a $335 million loss as it wrote down the value of mines, alternative energy investments and land to the tune of $215.3 million and incurred $102.2 million in one-off restructuring, redundancy and closure costs.
Chairman Mark Ford said the write-downs "draw a line under those parts of the business that no longer form part of our future and acknowledge that any future improvement in value will come from our core coal mining activities".
Solid Energy said the writedowns of its assets and other factors had reduced its existing shareholders' equity by $332 million to $91.6 million. Its shareholders' equity in 2011 before investments in alternative fuels failed to fire.
The Government this week announced a rescue package for the company, which is struggling under a $380 million debt pile and which has shed 700 jobs in the past year.
Most of its debt - $286 million - is owed to banks, which will exchange $75 million of that debt for shares. The company will also issue $25 million of new shares to the Government in exchange for cash.
The deal means the company's banks may own as much as 40 per cent of the company via their non-voting redeemable preference shares.
Labour's state owned enterprises spokesman Clayton Cosgrove called for an Auditor General's inquiry.
"National was warned time and again over four years that Solid Energy was in trouble, but ministers refused to listen and took no action.
"We need to know what decisions were made and what action and inaction caused the company's near collapse."

My primary carry is a Baby Eagle full size steel .40. Been on my hip (IWB) since 2007, 15 hours a day, 7 days a week.
First there was panic when there was a year and a half dry spell on importation from Israel (parts or replacement in case of failure). Then there was the bluing that was worn away on the frame by the holster and harsh environment and cancer set in. So began the hunt for a plastic carry for work.
Enter the Baby Eagle II full size poly that was finally developed and imported. All the features of my steel, virtually same grip (slightly smaller, and less clearance in the trigger guard, find something else every shooting session).
Granted I only have about 500 rounds through it, but I am still having a hard time getting in the groove with it. Shooting consistently 2" left, unless I reeeeallly focus on what I am doing, and then only about half the time I am within 1" of POA. Seems to take forever to get the sights back on target for a follow up shot, and an evil nasty flinch I cant get rid of (empty chamber/snap cap).
I know, practice, practice, practice.
Do I need to mindwipe everything I have learned and start fresh? Is there a trick I am missing here?
I'd love to hear the experiences of those who grudgingly made the switch from steel to plastic, and what you did to over come any problems (if any).

I would suggest you contact Ruger and see if you can acquire an owners manual which should answer most if not all your questions. Learn about the gun and it will be of much greater value to you.
I got a Ruger P90dc from my grandfather and I dont know anything about guns. I got it cleaned and it looks great but I have a few questions. I have noticed when I push the slide back and lock it back that it rattles a bit if its moved around...is that normal? When its cocked and the ready to shoot there is hardly any rattle just a tiny bit of movement between the slide and the frame. Also, what does the decocker do? probably a very stupid question as I can probably guess the answer. What type of ammo should I buy? He was an ex marine and this was his home protection gun but I'm not sure how long it has been since it was actually shot. ANY information would be great. Thanks.
I would suggest you contact Ruger and see if you can acquire an owners manual which should answer most if not all your questions. Learn about the gun and it will be of much greater value to you.
An owners manual will not tell you anything about a rattle.......there are lots of firearms that rattle a bit, if you have the funds, take it to a gunsmith and have them check it out, for piece of mind........I was looking at a Sig 250 about a week ago, which had never been fired, but it was behind the counter, and probably looked at by lots of people....the slide was a little loose and rattled, but no biggy, in that instance.
I would suggest two things ...first Ruger will send you the manual, second take a firearms safety training course if you intend to use the pistol, your grandfather was a Former Marine not an ex, as in "Once a Marine Always a Marine" sounds like a small difference, but to a Marine it means a lot and I am sure it meant a lot to him.....stay safe and Welcome.......JJ
I'm not familiar with that one but assume it's the same platform as the old P89.Don't worry over a couple thousandths slide play,it helps maintain reliability when it gets dirty shooting or if it's dropped in the dirt.
Any 9mm Luger round (guessing it's a 9) will work,but I wouldn't worry about +P or +P+ right now.Different loads and brands are going to shoot a little differently,so try a selection to see what the gun likes,all guns tend to favor a certain bullet and load over others.115 and 124grain will be your best bet most likely.If it is the original P series,the gun is tough and has a beefy chamber to handle hot loads like the +P and above.The concern shooting alot of the hot stuff isn't so much the chance of it blowing a case or barrel,it's the beating and accelerated wear that the barrel and frame take when the barrel unlocks and hits the stop for rearward movement.
yes it normal for it to rattle when the slide is locked back; my glock does it too.
my colt commander did it too
Contact Ruger -- get owners manual. Look over the pistol and see if you can discover what cartridge it uses. GOOGLE "Ruger P90dc" - and read about it. Look up any terms you do not quite understand.
DO NOT buy any ammo until you know what the pistol requires. Take to gunsmith for safety check.
If you intend to use it at all -- first learn how to SAFELY handle a gun. Perhaps get some basic training.
Then go forward. Do not be in a hurry. This is a potentially deadly weapon. Learning what and how will be appreciated by those around you.
I misread your first sentance,sorry.Definately find someone to teach you safety and how to operate guns and shoot.Basic safety and everything else can be found on these forums,but hands on is all that's going to work.
These are the 4 things that must always be remembered and practiced:
1. Every gun is loaded,know how to check and clear them.
There are only a few operating principles.You have a semi-auto,there's also pump,bolt,break open,the base principle is simple be it pistol,rifle,or a revolver.Different brands and models just move the controls,or have more or less than another.Either way it works the same as another in it's class.
2. Never point it at anything you don't want to shoot or destroy.
Alot of people have a problem with this-"it's unloaded".Funny (it really isn't) alot of accidental shootings and deaths are a direct result of breaking this one,but it's always an accident.Ingrain this so if 3 is broke,nobody is injured.Booting one in the base of the wall is bad,but hitting someone in that room is tragic.
3. Don't touch the trigger until you want a shot fired.
Self explanitory.
4. Always know the backstop,or where the bullet will be stopped safely.
They can go a long way,handgun or long gun.A riccochet is like the lottery-you don't know when or where it will hit.
It isn't anything hard,so don't let that scare you because it's just like learning to count and then math-safety is A#1.Learn from the beginning about guns,and spend a few bucks for a shooting class on the base level.A good instructor or friend can teach you quite a bit fast.

The Chessmen of Mars HTML version
Chapter 1. Tara In A Tantrum
TARA of Helium rose from the pile of silks and soft furs upon which she had been
reclining, stretched her lithe body languidly, and crossed toward the center of the room,
where, above a large table, a bronze disc depended from the low ceiling. Her carriage was
that of health and physical perfection--the effortless harmony of faultless coordination. A
scarf of silken gossamer crossing over one shoulder was wrapped about her body; her
black hair was piled high upon her head. With a wooden stick she tapped upon the bronze
disc, lightly, and presently the summons was answered by a slave girl, who entered,
smiling, to be greeted similarly by her mistress.
"Are my father's guests arriving?" asked the princess.
"Yes, Tara of Helium, they come," replied the slave. "I have seen Kantos Kan, Overlord
of the Navy, and Prince Soran of Ptarth, and Djor Kantos, son of Kantos Kan," she shot a
roguish glance at her mistress as she mentioned Djor Kantos' name, "and--oh, there were
others, many have come."
"The bath, then, Uthia," said her mistress. "And why, Uthia," she added, "do you look
thus and smile when you mention the name of Djor Kantos?"
The slave girl laughed gaily. "It is so plain to all that he
worships you," she replied.
"It is not plain to me," said Tara of Helium. "He is the friend of my brother, Carthoris,
and so he is here much; but not to see me. It is his friendship for Carthoris that brings him
thus often to the palace of my father."
"But Carthoris is hunting in the north with Talu, Jeddak of Okar," Uthia reminded her.
"My bath, Uthia!" cried Tara of Helium. "That tongue of yours will bring you to some
misadventure yet."
"The bath is ready, Tara of Helium," the girl responded, her eyes still twinkling with
merriment, for she well knew that in the heart of her mistress was no anger that could
displace the love of the princess for her slave. Preceding the daughter of The Warlord she
opened the door of an adjoining room where lay the bath--a gleaming pool of scented
water in a marble basin. Golden stanchions supported a chain of gold encircling it and
leading down into the water on either side of marble steps. A glass dome let in the sun-
light, which flooded the interior, glancing from the polished white of the marble walls
and the procession of bathers and fishes, which, in conventional design, were inlaid with
gold in a broad band that circled the room.

It has less plenum volume? Since when? I thought it had more.
'01 A4 Avant
6MT|Built AWM|Built AEB|60Trim
True, but most see good results from just a quick bolt on. I would much rather make my own SRI.
ABA Turbo Club
228hp 271tq at 14psi with pte GT3561E
The MK4 manifold flows tons better over the mk3 manifold day in, day out.
The runners are larger, smoother, and there is less of an extreme transition from the upper to the lower manifolds.
It's been tested to give more horsepower by just bolting it on, I've gasket matched the lower manifold and checked them so they are all identical.
So If they give more horsepower on a stock N/A, then there is absolutely no reason it's not going to with FI.
At the end of the day, Flow is Flow, no matter what it's application. Didn't even know why this needed to be explained..
Oh, and this.
Last edited by AJmustDIE; 03-31-2011 at 02:13 PM.
1: Flow is subjective. Port velocity is just as, and in some cases more important then flow. Just because it is larger, doesn't make it "better."
2: Gasket matching the halves will create a varying port cross section through the runners. This will create turbulance, and cause the velocity to drop in areas which is not only bad for "flow", but causes turbulence in the port. Bad idea all around. "Gasket matching" causes WAY more cons the pros.
3: Comparing NA intake design to FI intake design is useless. In na, you Big long runners+ small plenum=terrible combo for FI.
4:At the end of the day, "flow" is not "flow."
In FI, "PSI" on the intake side, is a measure of the restriction in your intake tract. Increase VE, and your PSI of boost will drop per power figures. This is commonly looked at wrong. People "brag" all the time about how much "boost" they run, like its a measure of performance. The irony, is that by bragging that you ran say 25psi on a stock ABA, you are basically saying that you had a VERY inefficient setup, and componsated by cranking the boost. TQ (and RPM fatigue) kills internals, not "how many pounds of boost" you run. If a Rod can withstand 250ft/lbs of TQ before being compromised, it doesn't care if it comes from 20 PSI through a Gt20, or 10 PSI through a Gt30, or 15 PSI through a Gt20, with a large plenum, short runner, ported head, and suitable cam.Oh, and this.
PSI, or Pounds per Square Inch, actually is a measure of pressure, and measuring strength of components. Like compressor tanks, tires, among other things. lol.
I'd go on the explain the role of PSI on the exhaust side, and intake/exhaust pressure ratios, but honestly, with the replies already seen, I'm wasting my time.
Good luck with the build, I suggest you research ALOT more. Preferably outside of this community, as everyone here likes to repeat bad practices. Hence why built NA Vr6's are making less power then bolt on Single cam, 2.0 neon motors, and NA 2.0 8v ABA's "fully built" are making as much as stock SOHC engines of smaller displacement from many other manufacturers.
i wanna do the same thing bump for 8vt
for the boosted 8v club.
im running gt28rs@11psi on a stock motor and put down 225whp and 240wtq on a mustang dyno.
8v's can make power
Small update here guys.
Seeing as how I had to torch some of the nuts to get the exhaust manifold, I had to go out and get some new exhaust studs.
I went to go put them in and I realized they weren't gonna go all the way in, the studs were too long.
So the mighty dremel comes to the rescue again!
From top to bottom: Shortened new stud, old stud, out of the box new stud.
Got them all shortened.
That's all I was able to do because of the rain again today here in Florida.
BUT, tomorrow I should have the turbo mounted so I can start mocking up charge piping and such.
Take care until the next update
I didn't have any issues with my studs when I did this... but that there, is a great idea.
Micro sized update here,
The battle to get the remaining exhaust studs out is on-going.
I have them all removed but 1, it's almost broken off at the head so I'm curious as to how I'm gonna tackle that. But tomorrow I should have it out so I can bolt up the turbo so we can get back to actual progress.
This is been SO aggravating.
IF all goes as planned, and all the shipping goes off without a hitch. I should be able to turn this thing over soon.
List of things I still need:
Autotech Plug Wires
2 10" Slim Radiator Fans (stock setup has GOT to go)
Misc. Silicone Couplers and Clamps.
Btw, I also forgot to mention I will be using a Forge Splitter (recirc. & blowoff hybrid).
You guys should get some pics tomorrow after I get back from the lake.
I got the turbo "mounted" today.
It's just temporarily bolted up right now as to give me what I need to move on to the rest of the project. Forgive the cell phone pics, I wasn't near my d5000.
I unfortunately, and I will probably regret my decision to post this because I'm a novice at turbocharging, but wresting the turbo behind the motor took a LONG time, even though it's a tiny thing. Not one thought about rotating the compressor housing even came into my mind until I tried to unbolt my rear motor mount and snapped the bolt in half.
Anybody got any advice on replacing the bolt? Something I can order or do I have to go to a local store and seek through the rows of bolts myself. I don't think they include the bolts in the BFI motor mount kits.
Get a bolt out kit to get the bolt out of you rear trans mount. Or buy a new one.
Where'd you get those coolant lines for your snail? Come with it or is that all custom?
get bfi mounts they come with the botls and everything.
you will need a new top to the mount so it threads in. if you want send me a pic of the bolt i got one laying around here somewhere
(_fishbowl society_)
i wish i was a little less slower...i wish i was lower....i wish i had paint that looked good i would show her...i wish i had a rabbit with a hatch in the back with a custom fit boser.
I want to see somebody hang a billet 5756 on the back of an aba, and set up the right peripheral parts.
270ish cam
stock obd1 block with arp bolts

The project looks like its headed in the right direction!

So I ordered the VF Engineering rear mount off ECS as it's a whole piece I believe.
Now moving on to some updates.
Pulled the core support off the car so I can shave what needs to be shaved when I mount the Air/Water heat exchanger. Also looked at where I'm going to be mounting the radiator an inch or two back.
Then pulled some goodies out the box and just played around in my head for awhile trying to think out where everything is going to be.
Then I went to the trunk and pulled up the carpet and took out this thing.
So I could look at the nastyness that can be seen below.
Just threw in the Ice Box for the Air/Water to see my clearances and what not, I assure you when it's in there for good it will look very very nice.
Ordered the rest of my parts today as well,
That's all for today, gotta go work on the fiance's Jeep.

keep it up man. Aptuning is having a sale on there forced induction chips and i am thinkin about joining the boosted ranks. keep up the inspiration
does your ac still work?
Yeah my AC is fine, I live in Florida so that **** staying put! lol.
But thanks, this project is making me learn a lot and I do a little bit everyday so it doesn't burn me out when I run into problems.
I'm sorry, i didn't intend any sarcasm. That was my mental masterbating build. Your build looks to be headed to a nice place. I like aba-t's, i just have a weird way of showing my enthusiasm i guess.

Cambridge Audio AM10-BK
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I am not an expert on audio equipment, by any stretch of the imagination and am often disappointed with overly technical jargon-driven explanations. I needed a new integrated amp, however, as my sound with my budget rate amp was very distorted. I found the Topaz AM10 on line and it seemed to be what I needed. It was only when I spoke to the Crutchfield phone rep that I was confident enough to make the purchase. Without a lot of technical talk, he assured me that this would be the perfect product to go with my speakers in my mid-sized living room. He was 100% correct. The sound is brilliant, both very clear and well defined. I chose it over the comparable NAD due to price. I am in love with my new integrated amp and I am in love with Crutchfield. Thanks for the help!

Full Tilt Poker On Demand tournaments
After the success of Rush Poker, FTP continues to revolutionize the poker industry. The newest addition is called On Demand Tournaments.
What are on demand tournaments on Full Tilt Poker?
On Demand is a mix of SNG's and MTT's (sit and gos and multi-table tournaments). The game starts as normally: after the required number of players are registered, you get started. However there is one new feature: late registration. Even if the tournament has already started you are still able to register.
The tournament shows the On demand late registration level and after reaching this level no new players will be able to register. This is a great new feature for those who don't want to wait minutes for a tournament to begin. You will always find an On Demand tournament that just started a few minutes ago.
How do you know if a tournament is On Demand?
There is a new icon in the lobby. Next to the title of the tournament you will see a little "D" letter which stands for Demand.
Use the Full Tilt Poker referral code and try out Rush poker and On demand tournaments.

Wolves assistant manager Terry Connor will take charge of the struggling Premier League team until the end of the season.
The 49-year-old Connor will be the temporary replacement for Mick McCarthy, who was fired last week with the team in the relegation zone with 13 matches left.
Wolves chairman Steve Morgan has been interviewing candidates, including former Sunderland manager Steve Bruce and ex-West Ham manager Alan Curbishley, but believes hiring Connor "is a decisive step which creates certainty."
Connor has been part of Wolves' coaching staff for the past 13 years and has worked under four managers.
His first match in charge is a trip to Newcastle on Saturday.

removing load-bearing walls and moving the kitchen
We just bought a 22 y.o. home with a fabulous view, and we want to remove the two walls that divide the kitchen from the dining room and from the family room to capture the 180 degree view from any point on the first floor. WE are pretty sure that both walls are load bearing (unfortunately!). We want to completely remove the 14-ft wall between the living room and the kitchen. On the wall between the kitchen and the family room, we just want to open the top half of the wall to enable a kitchen sink/island combo by extending the existing wetbar
Question 1: What is the cost of removing these two walls? The house is a two-story with a day light basement. The walls to be removed are on the first floor. I figure we have to use professionals for this work because it involves structural changes.
Question 2: The existing kitchen is quite dimensionally challenged (14' x 5'). I am thinking of merging it into the existing living room, and moving the kitchen to the existing family room. The family room has a gas fireplace and a wetbar.
2(a) Would it be cost effective to convert the gas fireplace to an oven range with cooktop (as the gas line is already there) and the wetbar to a kitchen sink (as the plumbing is already there)?
2((b): Is there any part of the kitchen remodeling that we could do ourselves to save money?
We may have paid the house at least 25K over its market value because we were initially so blinded by the view that we overlooked the dysfunctional and outdated kitchen. So we would like to save in renovation to recoup some of the money loss by that boneheaded mistake. However, we want to do it safely.
Thank you so much for your help.
Costs depends upon the beam, support needed, which will need to be sized & how much you DIY
Plus any electric plumbing etc that may need to be moved
The place to start is with a structural engineer to determine how to go about doing what you propose. With enough money, almost any remodel can be accomplished. Whether it is feasible AND cost effective depends on HOW it can be done and still be code compliant. It will be a few hundred dollars well spent....

the feldman family came from the plonsk area of poland
I have not been able to completely verify this yet, but I have heard from numerous people in the family about parts of this to believe that this is correct. The only physical evidence of this in existence today, I believe, is on a family tree created by Abe Kushel. If anybody has a copy of this tree, I would appreciate a copy of it. But the story as I have heard it is that Zahasha's Mother was Alice Dorothy Feldman. Zahasha married Samuel Stollar, and they had at least two sons, Elias and Max Stollar. In the late 1870's the Russian army was coming into the town with lists of boys and were inducting them into the Russian Army. Elias and Max, not wanting to enter the Russian Army, changed their last name from Stollar to their Maternal Grandmother's name of Feldman. Therefore when the army came into their town, there was no Elias or Max Stollar.

Date of Stay: August, 2013
This is a beautiful place with lots of spots along the lake and enough distance between them. They were cool with a late check-in and the office is well-stocked with lots of fishing rods and useful things for kids, nice playground...they have a bluegrass festival we want to see in September. Great place.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Convenient to highway. This is a quiet and well-run place with very clean bathrooms and a clean lake to swim and fish in. We had a problem with our propane tank and the owner was super helpful and worked for a few hours to help me solve it while the kids swam in the lake. Very nice management and a great spot when in the area.

How does that headline grab you? I wish it were merely for shock value. It is not. That is an actual summary of the ideas put forth by a group of medical ethicists at Oxford University in a recent article in the UK Telegraph. You can follow that link to read the details of the semantic wiggling and philosophical buffoonery that leads to their conclusion, but lets consider the actual title of Telegrapharticle, which is:
"Killing babies no different from abortion, experts say"
Now, I actually agree with that premise. After all, abortion and what the Oxford ethicists call "post birth abortion" clearly kills something… a living, growing something. Further, a living growing something that is human… we would all agree with that. So the obvious question is, "WHAT?" What is it that is being killed? Just using the obvious, what is being killed is a living growing human. Both in "traditional abortion" and in the newly proposed "post birth abortion" the same type of thing is being killed; a living growing human. So I would agree with the Oxford ethics group in the title of the Telegraph article; killing babies is no different from abortion. That's the point isn't it!? That's what pro-life argumentation has said all along!
Of course in the article the folks at Oxford agree that the newborns are living growing humans… but they say they are not "persons". My question would be, "What's the difference?" What is the difference between a human being and a person? I pose that question to you the reader. As food for thought, consider this line of reasoning from the great minds at Stand to Reason (str.org) in their article: Are Humans Persons?
Update – May 1st 2012:
Check out the philosophical and ethical road that led here in this jarring briefing in STR's Solid Ground publication.

No I'm not talking about the failings of the dual disc 360 version of the game, or the PSN version, I'm talking about the people in suits, government officials and the like.
The first complain comes from a local council official, David Paterson from a Scottish town called Hawick, who's name is used as a district in GTAV, here is what the councillor says about the game:
I am absolutely disgusted – there is a lot of history and a lot of good things happening in the town.
We have got a lot of good things planned for this coming year.
It is going to destroy the good reputation of the town.
Why did they pick on Hawick? , It is a lovely town. It is perceptions, it is how people will perceive the town.
They might perceive Hawick in a bad light and Hawick is a lovely place – a lot of people are very, very proud of Hawick.
The councillors of the small town are so annoyed, that they have invited the games producers to visit the area, the towns MSP had this to say:
I, like many other Hawick residents, was shocked to hear that the name of the town had been used in Grand Theft Auto V.
Not only is it a game which includes violence, sex and drugs, but the game's producers themselves describe the area of Hawick in the game as having a 'drug addict hipster vibe'.
While some may take the view that any publicity is good publicity, I am sure that many local residents will see this as an insensitive move from Rockstar North.

Oh my! Today is my 7th Birthday and I want to thank all my furiends for all the gifts and love sent my way! I just love Catster and all my pals! So glad we all all here and sticking through all the changes. I know good things will come to those who wait! I promise to send thank yous to all my wonderful pals!
Hugs and purrs,
Well, today I was scooped up and taken to see a new vet clinic today! It's been almost 4 yrs since my last visit. Mom has been a bit nervous about taking me back since the last time I had vaccines I had a bit of a reaction. This is an all cat clinic which mom liked! It's very nice and they even have their own office cat named Christina! I did pretty good but did cry on the trip there and was scared in the office. My temp was high and so was my heart rate! Geez! Who wouldn't be a bit nervous considering I didn't know what mom or these people were up to?! They weighed me and I'm 14.5 lbs! The vet said I could lose a few pounds so mom is going to start monitoring my feedings. Uh oh! She also thought I could use a dental in the near future since I do have plaque build up. Since I had a reaction to my last vaccines she suggested giving me one vaccine with an antihistamine prior which helps with reactions. I growled and hissed when they gave me the shots! I wasn't too happy! Mom says she never hears me hiss except when I get shots! Well, who wouldn't hiss with all that! Anyways, everything else was good and I should go back in a few weeks for the next vaccine. Maybe if I hide she won't find me!
Glad Catster is back up and running and we can visit with our pals once again!
Hugs and purrs,
Simon(with a sore butt)
Hello my dear furiends!
I can't believe this will be my last diary here at Catster. The news came as such a shock to so many of us and we all here are still in a bit of denial. When we first joined Catster we really didn't know how it worked or what things were but when we started to receive furiend requests and little gifts it was so exciting and we felt like part of the community! So many wonderful furiends we have made and wonderful memories over the years! We never thought it would end! It felt like a big family where we could come to play and support each other when there were birthdays, Gotcha Day anniversaries, DDPs, COTD, DOTD and Bridge anniversaries. We helped each other through all the good times and when things weren't so good we were all there to lend some Power of the Paw! We never heard of POTP until Catster but it sure does help those we love!
I want to thank you all for the love and support you have given me during my time here on Catster. The memories will last furever and I will keep you close to my heart no matter where you may go! Mom does want to look for another group where we can meet up with our pals so please let us know where you are going. Take care of yourselves pawsome furiends and keep love close to your heart!
Even though Catster may be coming to an end please know this is not goodbye but until we meet again!
Hugs and purrs,

There is little warmth to look forward to with the Patna Meteorological Office on Thursday forecasting that the cold wave over Jharkhand would continue for at least another 48 hours.
The present cold wave, the third of the season, has been prevailing for the last 72 hours. Meteorologists said with no signs of change in the wind pattern and in the absence of any adverse condition, the cold wave will continue for another two days.
"Cold wave condition will prevail as Jharkhand is in the grip of dry north-westerly winds which brings down minimum temperatures. The cold wave condition has been extended for another 48 hours while severe cold wave conditions would prevail at a few pockets for the next 24 hours," said A.K. Sen, director of Patna Meteorological Office.
At several places including Koderma, Hazaribagh, Deoghar and Latehar, minimum temperatures fell in the last 24 hours while in Ranchi, Jamshedpur and Daltonganj, where minimum readings had touched the season's lowest on Wednesday, showed an upward trend.
Ranchi recorded a minimum temperature of 8�C, up three degrees from Wednesday. The minimum temperature in the capital was still two degrees below normal.
The local weather office at Jamshedpur recorded a minimum temperature of 6.4�C, from Wednesday's 5.5�C, still a good six notches below normal. Severe cold wave conditions prevailed in the steel city.
Daltonganj, where the mercury had plunged to 3.2�C, on Thursday recorded 5.1�C. Severe cold wave conditions prevailed in Palamau too with the minimum reading six points below normal. Minimum temperatures hovered between 5.5�C and 8�C at places like Bokaro, Dhanbad and adjoining areas.
On January 12, 2011 Jamshedpur had recorded 5.4�C. Last year, the lowest temperature recorded by the local Met office was on January 15 when the night temperature clocked 6.2�C. Last year cold wave conditions had prevailed for over two weeks at a stretch in January.
The Regional Meteorological Centre in Alipore, Calcutta, said conditions were favourable for a further plunge in minimum temperatures. "The entire state is in the grip of north-westerly winds, which is resulting in a Celsius slide," said a duty officer at the Alipore office.

Dangerous Man
Book by: steveanna12
Status: Finished
Genre: Personal Finance
Chapter1 (v.1) - Dangerous Man
Dream Of Death
I sat quietly on the middle of my bed staring non-stop at the black walls.I had a feeling from when I was small that someone or something was watching me, that they where out there to get me and take me to hell.A strong source of energy hovered over me like a force pulling me away.Being scared and quiet I looked up and their I saw a man of black and a bloody face as if it were a mask.I quickly looked away as my vision went a blur .I laid down and prayed to cast away this fear and this monster.Kate Jones is my name I was born near a cemetery on July 12th 1987.My father Henry Jones died in 9/11.A tragic day for me and my mother Katy Jones. To night I went to my bedroom thinking about the image I saw.Who could it be? I could not see the face but something was familiar about it. Night fell and I grew tired.I lie my head down on my fluffy white pillow and fell asleep right a way,I started to dream.A dream I haven`t dreamt before I saw the image again but it was clear.I could almost see who it was BUT THEN IT DISAPPEARED!!! I woke up and felt a sudden presence in my room.The walls started to cave in ,it felt like people were all around me,sucking away my soul.I gasp and gasp for air .I ran out the room hoping someone could help me,but it was to late.I could almost feel them tearing me apart I screamed in agonizing pain.Then realize that I was dreaming I tried to wake up but I couldn`t I was locked into my own dream of death.
I was always pronounced as a AB-normal child.From the day I was
born. I saw these images men, women and children haunting me and threaten to kill me and take away my soul.For many days people tried to help and fix me but nothing worked.To me I have a gift, a blessing but as I got older it turned into a curse..A week past and I was stuck rocking in the corner of my room as my eyes blinked rapidly and my hair started to rise. Approaching me a little girl covered in blood and magots.She had no pupils here eyes had rolled back.I tried not to look but the force of fear kept my head still.I started to scream and cry ,my mother rushed into the room to comfort me and asked me about what I saw, but when I tried to show her it was gone.I slept with my mother that night ,I felt safe when she was there with me .Now I have no friends, I don't go to school and I never left the neighborhood where my house was.My mother would die if she had seen me hurt or seeing images on the street ,because of what happened the last time.
I was playing on the street with my ball when they came to visit me,the spirits. I started to stumble and fall when a car was coming and my friend came and rescue me just in time, but she got injured.She had to spend a week in the hospital with a broken leg.
Every night I would sleep and get stuck into a death dream and wake up paranoid.It had gotten worse I would fall asleep and when I wake up scars and bruises was found on my body. I would go in comas and be trapped in dreams for days even months.My mother took me to a psychiatrics and he couldn`t help me.He said that my problem was so mess up that he got paranoid and quit his job.A year past and my birthday was near.I was so excited because it was only six months away.Today I overheard my mother talking to a friend about getting remarried to a man named Joseph Miller.I was not fond of that idea and was mad that she did not talk to me about it first.But I may never know if that would happen,but it did.

Lew brushes off smears and taunts
The recent election campaign was a nasty business for an energetic supporter of Leung Chung-ying. Lew Mon-hung was smeared as a triad associate, called a 'negative asset', distanced by Leung, and had his family subjected to high stress. Even so, he says he remains loyal to Leung.
'I never regretted my choice to offer unswerving support to C.Y. [Leung] - although it has affected even my family members,' said Lew, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
While not an official member of Leung's campaign team, Lew called himself a key adviser, assistant and promoter through his newspaper columns. 'Since September, I had been using my nine weekly columns to support [Leung's] ideals and policies. I lined up support from some newspapers to back him ... I do not understand why some called me a negative asset.'
Lew's difficulties began with the now notorious February 10 dinner at a restaurant in Lau Fau Shan, which he attended along with Leung's campaign office director Fanny Law Fan Chiu-fun and her deputies Karen Tang Shuk-tak and Lau Ping-cheung.
In the aftermath of the dinner, he became ensnared in the complicated web of accusations, counter-accusations, admissions and suspicions related to 'black gold politics' - collusion between triads and politicians.
The meal was planned as an ordinary meeting between Leung's campaign chiefs and Heung Yee Kuk leaders. But it turned into a major controversy when Kwok Wing-hung - a businessman known as 'Shanghai Boy' and thought to have triad links - appeared at the dinner.
The media and graft-busters later wanted to know if Leung was getting support from triads, and whether Kwok had been involved in triad threats against Leung's main election rival, Henry Tang Ying-yen. Also, who paid for the meal? The Leung camp could be liable to prosecution if they treated the rural leaders to a meal and canvassed during it.
Amid the back-and-forth accusations, Lew was accused in media reports of arriving at the restaurant with Kwok and sitting next to him during the meal - which he and his driver denied - raising public suspicions that Lew was friendly with triads.
On March 8, with the controversy at its peak, Leung announced: 'Lew is not a member of our campaign office.' Lew was one of his 'many supporters of whom I cannot explain each of their words and acts'.
Looking back, Lew takes it all in stride. 'I understand his need to distance himself from me when the truth [about who organised the dinner, paid for it and invited Kwok] was not yet revealed,' he said.
That 'truth' was a confession made later by the chief of Kam Tin Rural Committee, Tang Ho-nin, who admitted the dinner had been organised by kuk members of the Election Committee.
'On voting day, March 25, [kuk voter who attended the infamous dinner] Leung Fuk-yuen apologised to me, saying they made up facts to frame me - because they supported [Henry Tang],' Lew said.
When Leung gave his victory speech, Lew was not even on the stage. 'I met C.Y. after the vote and had a telephone chat with him ... but I cannot disclose the details,' Lew said. 'Things cannot always go as we wish.'
What made him saddest about the campaign was that he became 'a target of smearing', called a 'negative asset' despite all his hard work for the campaign. 'I was targeted because I am an iconic supporter of Leung,' he said.
It is still unclear who invited Kwok to the dinner and who he sat with. But Lew seems to have moved on: 'Leung is the next chief executive. I will just support him quietly, and the city's 7 million people can see my efforts.'

You've probably heard that a daily glass of wine can give your body an antioxidant boost. Caudalie's grape-derived moisturizer delivers the same benefits directly to your skin. This advanced gel-cream blasts skin with hydration while simultaneously reducing redness. It's great for all skin types, from sensitive and dry to oily and acne-prone.
If you're looking for a lightweight moisturizer, this is the product for you. But if you're looking for something to soothe your flaky, dry winter skin, this may not be your best bet. I did not feel that this gave my skin enough moisture to relieve it from the winter weather.4

Photodynamic Therapy For Acne
Jan Bowers
One of several light-based technologies under investigation for the treatment of acne vulgaris, photo dynamic therapy (PDT) has shown impressive long-term results that may approach those achieved by isotretinoin. Defined as the interaction of a photo sensitizing agent, a light source, and oxygen, PDT is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) only for the treatment of actinic keratosis.Its off -label application in the treatment of acne was first reported in two studies in 2000, and numerous studies investigating different aspects of the treatment have been published since then. While some clinicians have embraced its use, PDT faces a number of challenges to becoming a mainstream acne treatment, in addition to its lack of FDA approval: a lack of consensus around optimal treatment parameters and methodology, and severe side effects resulting in patient compliance issues.
alternatives to conventional treat Ment needed
"I feel there's increasing interest in PDT right now because it's getting more difficult to prescribe is otretinoin, and clinicians need an alternative for those patients who don't Respond to conventional treatment," says Fernanda H. Sakamoto, M.D., instructor in dermatology at Harvard Medical School and a researcher at the Wellman Center for Photo medicine, referring to the hurdles the iPledge program creates for patients and isotretinoin's side effects, which may give patients pause. Dr. Sakamoto and coauthors Jose Daniel Lopes, M.D., Ph.D., R. Rox Anderson, M. D., and Luis Torezan, M.D., published a comprehensive, two-part continuing medical education article examining the literature and the state of clinical practice of PDT for acne in the September 2010 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. Explaining the need for an alternative to isotretinoin for treating moderate to Severe acne, the authors point out that up to half of patients receiving isotretinoin relapse within two years, and that oral isotretinoin poses a high risk of fetal defects when taken before or during pregnancy. In addition, the patient's liver function and serum lipids must be monitored, and side effects can include dry skin and lips, gastrointestinal symptoms, headaches, and mood changes. The side effects of isotretinoin drive some patients to discontinue treatment, while the risks cause other acne sufferers (or their parents) to decline this treatment.
Pdt Shows Efficacy
Noting that bright visible light can moderately improve acne, Drs. Sakamoto, Lopes, and Anderson say it appears that "naturally occurring porphyrins within sebaceous follicles act as endogenous photo sensitizers to visible light." Intense blue light is an FDA-approved treatment for acne, but the authors state that all light-alone treatments have only temporary effects and seem to be effective only against mild to moderate acne.
One of two approved photosensitizers, 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), was observed to induce strong porphyrin fluorescence in sebaceous glands and hair follicles in an early test of the efficacy of PDT, co-authored by Dr. Anderson and published in the August 2000 issue of the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. The investigators applied a 20 percent formulation of ALA under occlusion for three hours, then delivered high-dose broadband red light to large sites on the skin of adults with back acne. The ALAPDT combined therapy was compared with red light alone, ALA alone, and no treatment, and a group receiving only one PDT treatment was compared with another receiving four treatments at one-week intervals. The results, summarized by Drs. Sakamoto, Lopes, and Anderson, showed "statistically significant and obvious improvement of acne assessed blindly" and reduction of sebum output over 20 weeks of patient follow-up in the patients receiving PDT, with the best results observed in the group receiving four PDT treatments.
Though PDT's mechanism of action is not completely understood, the JAAD authors suggest a number of ways in which the treatment tested in the 2000 study likely achieved its results. These include: destruction of sebaceous glands, decreasing sebum production, a possible enhancement of epidermal turnover (which in turn would reduce hyper keratosis and unplug follicles), and a possible down-regulating effect on infiltrating inflammatory cells Within acne lesions. They note that investigators in the 2000 study did not observe a reduction in the number of Propionibacterium acnes. More recently however, a review in the September 2010 issue of the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, co-authored by Mohammed L. Elsaie, M.D., and Sonal Choudhary, M.D., cited two studies that showed ALAPDT did reduce the number of P. acnes; the mechanism of action therefore remains uncertain.
oPtiMal treatMent ParaMeters elusive
In addition to choosing between two available photosensitizers (ALA and its derivative, methyl-aminolevulinate [MAL]), clinicians offering PDT to their patients must consider various light sources and wavelengths, light dosimetry, drug incubation time, and skin preparation (see sidebar below). Despite the wealth of published studies examining PDT for acne, none of the variables has been optimized for this treatment, says Dr. Sakamoto. "Because there's no consensus about this right now, there's a lot of Debate and people don't agree as to the best way to deliver PDT," she says. "We wrote our review article to try to raise the question and come up with the best we could out of the current literature."
Drs. Choudhary and Elsaie expressed a similar goal in conducting their review for the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. "There's no consensus, no standardization, no rationales for the PDT treatment of acne," says Dr. Elsaie, an instructor of dermatology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and instructor of dermatology at the National Research Center in Cairo, Egypt. Dr. Choudhary, a clinical research fellow in the department of dermatology and cutaneous surgery at the Miller School of Medicine, says she suspects that "probably very few dermatologists have tried PDT for acne. So a review of this kind may help build awareness of where this modality stands." Drs. Sakamoto, Torezan, and Anderson analyzed 18 clinical studies published through 2009 on the subject of PDT for acne. Drs. Elsaie and Choudhary analyzed 22 studies.
Making Sense Of The Evidence
Looking at the combinations of treatment parameters most frequently studied, Dr. Sakamoto views them in two broad categories: "high-dose" and "low-dose" PDT. These terms refer not only to dosimetry, but also to the wavelength of The light and the length of the incubation period. In this context, "high-dose" PDT uses high fluence red light after an incubation period of at least three hours and for multiple sessions. "The high-dose treatment seems to be giving a more prolonged result by destroying the glands," says Dr. Sakamoto. "The low-dose PDT would be any variation with shorter duration, different concentrations, and so on. But with low-dose treatment, there's not much scientific proof that we are actually destroying the glands; maybe we are treating the acne temporarily."
While the JAAD review authors note several studies that utilized shorter incubation times, lower fluences, and wavelengths other than red, they point out various shortcomings in these studies ranging from suboptimal study design to poor statistical analysis. Despite this, Dr. Sakamoto says she believes "most clinicians who are treating acne with PDT are using low-dose methods" in an effort to make the treatment more easily tolerated and less time-consuming. Drs. Elsaie and Choudhary also state that "multiple treatments appeared to be superior to single treatments, especially at longer follow-up periods."
Side Effects A Stumbling Block
The most common side effects of PDT for acne are moderate to severe pain, erythema (typically lasting three to five days), edema (usually occurring one to four days after treatment), and hyper pigmentation which can persist up to four weeks after a treatment. Other adverse effects can include sterile pustular eruption, crusts, purpura, and acute transient acne flare. Pain typically begins within a minute of light exposure, peaks within several minutes, subsides as photobleaching of the porphyrin occurs, and ceases when the light is turned off.
Drs. Sakamoto, Elsaie, and Choudhary all cite these side effects as a key barrier to broader adoption of this treatment method. "Because the treatment is so painful and because you need to restrict your exposure to sunlight for 48 hours following treatment, patient selection and patient compliance are very challenging issues," says Dr. Elsaie. "In addition, PDT can Require up to six weekly or monthly treatments. For all these reasons, teenagers in particular tend to drop out of treatment."
While some studies indicate that pain during PDT can be minimized by spritzing the treatment area with cool water and using a fan to blow air across the skin, pain and other side effects are currently an inevitable part of the most effective forms of PDT. "If you want to get a good result, as a patient you have to bear with the side effects," says Dr. Sakamoto. "As for the clinician, you have to spend a lot of time with the patient during a long incubation, and then patients will likely call you about their side effects, so you have to have a very good support team."
Future Directions
The goal of duplicating the best results of PDT studies while mitigating the adverse effects is driving researchers to tweak various treatment parameters and to investigate other forms of light-based treatment for acne. Researchers at the Wellman Center are focused on optimizing PDT treatment using the current photo sensitizers, says Dr. Sakamoto. "We're changing the techniques of how we do the treatment, playing with many of the variables such as incubation period, application of the drug, and light radiation," she says. "We're running some clinical trials right now and anticipate that eventually our research will have an impact on the side effects of PDT."
At the University of Miami, Drs. Elsaie and Choudhary are preparing a protocol for a Phase 3 study to test a photo pneumatic therapy that uses a vacuum-assisted pulsed light device emitting broadband light in the range of 400 to 1200 nm. "The effect is very similar to what PDT would do: causing the reactive oxygen species to target the bacteria P. acnes," says Dr. Choudhary. "The device does not use a photo sensitizer, and therefore it is reported to be painless. The first patient we treated, a year ago, is still coming back for follow-up, but not for additional treatment. We have treated several patients, and they're all happy with the results." The device is FDA-approved for treating mild to severe inflammatory acne.
In the meantime, experts agree that PDT may still have a place in the treatment armamentarium. "The role of PDT is a little dicey, but we believe dermatologists should discuss it with patients as a treatment option," says Dr. Choudhary. "There are many people who can't take isotretinoin, so PDT seems to be a great alternative treatment," says Dr. Sakamoto. "It's a trade-off. The way PDT is best performed today, in a high-dose modality, it's not easy on the patient. But in the end, they're very happy with the results."
Key Pdt Parameters
The variables associated with each of the key treatment parameters involved in PDT include:
PHOTO SENSITIZER – ALA, available in 20 percent hydroalcoholic solution, and MAL, available in a cream formulation of 16 percent, have different mechanisms of cell uptake and transport. New ALA derivatives are in development, but clinical results are not yet available. In studies of acne therapy using a long incubation time and high fluence red light exposure, ALA and MAL have shown similar efficacy. While more comparative studies are needed, they seem largely equivalent.
LIGHT SOURCE AND WAVELENGTH – Continuous wave (CW) and pulsed light sources, including intense pulsed lights (IPLs) and pulsed dye lasers (PDLs), and diode lasers have all been studied in PDT for acne. Light sources tested include light-emitting diodes, filtered incandescent or arc lamps, slide projectors, fluorescent lamps, filtered xenon flash lamps, lasers, and sunlight. Red light (a longer wavelength with deeper penetration) and blue light (a shorter wavelength with the strongest porphyrin absorption) are the most frequently studied in PDT for acne research.
DOSIMETRY – The primary units of dosimetry are wavelength range of the source, irradiance (the rate at which energy is delivered per unit area of skin) fluence (the total energy delivered per unit area of skin), and exposure time. At the present time there is no consensus on the optimal dosimetry for PDT of acne.
SKIN PREPARATION – No clinical comparison of pretreatment care has been reported for PDT using either ALA or MAL. Drs. Sakamoto, Torezan, and Anderson note that skin preparation was not mentioned in several of the studies they analyzed. Among those that did describe preparation, methods included cleansing with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol, mild skin cleansers, 2 percent salicylic acid, and soap and water followed by alcohol scrubbing. Ten of 18 publications recommended occlusion during the drug incubation time, which may increase drug uptake.
INCUBATION TIME – The time between drug application and irradiation can range from as few as 10 minutes to three to four hours. While a few studies have suggested shortening the incubation period to 10 to 30 minutes, Drs. Sakamoto, Torezan, and Anderson report that the strongest evidence points to a period of at least three hours.

Hyundai, LG Semicon deal on
Little says Hyundai should get large but LG cross
The local South Korean press has reported that Hyundai will take a controlling 70 per cent stake in a merged chip enterprise with LG Semicon. Wall Street consultancy Arthur D Little yesterday announced that it recommended Hyundai have that stake because it would be more competitive than LG Semicon. According to English language newspaper The Korea Times, LG immediately hit out at the proposal, saying it did not agree on the criteria. But whether LG likes it or not, it is likely that the South Korean government will insist the merger goes ahead. If it rejected the proposal, it would breach promises it has already made. Both Hyundai and LG had until this weekend to sort out the merger. A government minister said that Hyundai and LG would have no choice in the matter. If they rejected Arthur D Little's proposal, creditors will pull various rugs from under the companies. The new chip company is expected to take shape by April of next year. If the deal does finally go ahead, it will create a company almost equal in size to Samsung Electronics, but it is unlikely to be welcomed by US DRAM companies such as Micron, which have made allegations that the large Korean chaebols have dumped product. We don't know whether Arthur D Little is exhausted by all of the negotiations, but we at The Register certainly are... ®

I have now officially been to every German manufacturer's museum... Well, not Opel but who cares? Here is my thread from BMW Welt and the Audi Museum last fall: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...plus-some-more) It didn't get much traffic, but I thought I'd put a thread together for this trip.
My brother, ErikGTI, was in town last week so we ran all over Germany... We saw a ton of cars and some F-4F Phantoms (thread to follow in the Aviation Forum). Here is an assembly of pictures that I found interesting - it's way too much work to add captions, sorry.
Now that I have seen all of the museums I rank them as:
1. Porsche
3 (Tied) BMW
5. VW Museum
6. Autostadt
The Autostadt is severely underwelming... The architecture is amazing but the selection of cars is lacking. The Zeit Haus has an excellent collection of all sorts of cars, but the brand specific pavillions are lacking. The R8 GT Spyder was cool, but the rest of the place was a little boring. It wasn't really any better when I was there in 2008, other than having the Bentley building then. The Speed 8 has now been replaced by the Oil Sheihk/Russian Gangster Veyron.
If you've never been to Germany before and you reall want to see car stuff I suggest skipping Wolfsburg. Stick to Bavaria (BMW and Audi) and Baden-Würrtemberg (MB and Porsche) with a foray into Rheinland-Pfalz to hit the Nürburgring. Niedersachsen is too flat and boring... the beer sucks too.
An observation: German tourists love touching stuff that they shouldn't. At Autostadt a bunch of guys decided it would be cool to open the door of the W12 Nardo car. At Porsche some lady thought it would be a good idea to open the door of an original 356. And at MB another lady felt it she really needed to lean over the display to touch an old SL. WTF?
Anyway, here are the pics - let's see how long my Photobucket account can handle this:

Are Japanese obesity criteria useful for screening at risk Japanese? Consideration from anthropometric indices- percentage body fat relationships
Kagawa, Masaharu, Tahara, Yasuaki, Byrne, Nuala M., Moji, Kazuhiko, Tsunawake, Noriaki, & Hills, Andrew P. (2008) Are Japanese obesity criteria useful for screening at risk Japanese?

Both childhood and adult obesity are of serious public health concern in Japan. While Japan has diagnostic criteria for both childhood and adult obesity and metabolic syndrome, the appropriateness of the proposed criteria has been questioned. The present study aimed to determine screning ability of anthropomenric indices relative to estimated percentage body fat (%BF) and tp propose gender-and maturation-specific cut-off points using 1,393 Japanese (552 malesand 841 females; 7.6 - 66.3 years old). Between 20%-50% of individuals with high fat deposits were misclassified using body mass index (BMI), abdominal circumference (AC), abdominal to height ratio (AHtR), and sum of two skinfolds (sigma 2SF). Using the WHO public action point of 23kg/m2, AC of 80 cm, AHtR of 0.5 for all groups and sigma 2SF of 25 mm for males and 40 mm for females were estimated to be potentially useful cutoff-points. The results may indicate a need for further research for appropriate screening cut-off points for Japanese.

Biosecurity officials are warning travellers to declare high-risk items after two ostrich eggs were discovered in the luggage of a passenger at Auckland airport.
The two eggs, weighing around 1.5kg each were found wrapped in newspaper.
The passenger was fined $400, Ministry for Primary Industries spokesman Steve Gay said.
The eggs posed a high biosecurity risk because they could carry avian diseases, he said.
"And we can't write off the idea that the eggs were going to be used for breeding."
Mr Gay said it "beggars belief" that the passenger could forget to declare something so obvious.
"Air passengers pass more than 30 signs asking them to declare or dispose risk items before they even speak to a quarantine inspector," he said.

MasterCard has publicly released a road map of strategic priorities for the next five years, emphasising the importance of improved security measures, new capabilities and pricing transparency.
Although not listed in Australia, MasterCard announced a series of deadlines yesterday to make contactless card payments more ubiquitous, add a cash-out facility to its debit cards – currently something only offered on eftpos – and migrate all transactions to microchip from the more vulnerable magnetic stripe.
The payments company has been working with its member banks and other stakeholders such as major merchants for over a year on the plan and, while not revolutionary, the roadmap comes at a time when the Reserve Bank of Australia is pushing for more innovation in payments and eftpos is undergoing a major reinvigoration.
MasterCard's divisional president
"There is a significant amount of change in our business and after consultation we thought it would be to everyone's benefit to have a clear view of the longer term," he told The Australian Financial Review.
Although MasterCard was not directly involved in the events, the last 12 months has seen a string of debacles in Australia's ageing payments infrastructure, stretching from individual bank problems to system-wide security breaches. The main components of the plan are:
All MasterCards to have the brand's PayPass contactless technology by October 2012 with new merchants required to have at least one contactless terminal.
All merchants able to offer cash back with purchases made using PIN on debit cards by the same date.
A new mandate commencing in October for new cards to be compliant with the EMV microchip security protocol.
A requirement for member banks to provide merchants with clear pricing on fees for credit and debit.
Mr Grobler said the transparency requirement would better inform consumer and merchant understanding at a time of increasing surcharging by merchants on transactions.

– The Georgia Tech women still haven't come up with a way to handle Duke.
Although the Yellow Jackets have beaten national powers like North Carolina and Maryland over the last two seasons, they can't get over the hurdle that Duke presents. On Sunday, Georgia Tech lost its 36th straight game to the Blue Devils, 64-47 in the ACC opener for both teams.
"We've got eight sophomores and freshman and for most of them it was the first time facing Duke," Georgia Tech coach Machelle Joseph said. "As we grow and get better, the defense will get where it needs to be, the rebounding will get where it needs to be and we just need to make those shots."
Georgia Tech shot only 26 percent from the floor and lost the game, despite limiting the Blue Devils to only 39.7 percent shooting and outrebounding Duke 51-47. Georgia Tech hasn't beaten Duke since Feb. 27, 1994.
This time it was Duke center
Elizabeth Williams
who was the difference. The 6-foot-3 junior was 8-for-10 from the field, including 6-for-6 in the first half, with 11 rebounds. It was the second consecutive double-double for Williams and third career double-double against Tech. She also extended her streak of consecutive games with a blocked shot to 84.
"I was really excited to get started in ACC play," said Williams, who is averaging 21 points and 11 rebounds in three games against Georgia Tech.
Joseph expected Williams to present problems. "She's so agile and nimble for someone her size," Joseph said. "And she works hard on both ends of the court. There's no question she's one of the elite players in the league."
Duke also got a double-double from
Haley Peters
, who had 11 points and 15 rebounds.
Tricia Liston
added 16 points, 11 in the second half, and point guard
Chelsea Gray
had nine points and nine assists.
Georgia Tech (10-4) was led by Tyaunna Marshall's 18 points and season-high 15 rebounds. Marshall passed Karen Lounsbury (1989-92) moved into second place on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,744 points. She was the only Georgia Tech player in double figures.
"This was a great defensive effort for us," Duke coach Joanne McCallie said. "We had everything to do with their shots being missed because of the timing of the shots and where they came from.
"We're working toward a 40-minute game. The whole thing is to push through and keep that grit and fight regardless of the score, to keep charging forward."
Duke took command midway in the first half when Williams scored on a layup with 6:51 remaining to cap a 19-7 run and give the Devils a 26-14 lead. Georgia Tech shot only 21.6 percent (8 of 37) in the first half and Duke held a 34-20 lead at halftime.
"They did a good job making us take the tough shot with a hand in our face," Machelle Joseph said.
Georgia Tech tried to mount a comeback in the second half. The Yellow Jackets trailed by 19 points with 13:45 and outscored the Blue Devils 13-0 over the next 5:04. Georgia Tech cut the lead to 49-43 on a putback by Katarina Vuckovic with 9:03 left, but failed to score for four minutes, allowing Duke to quickly regain a double-digit lead.
"We missed a lot of layups and free throws," Joseph said. "You've got to make every layup and free throw against a team like Duke."
Georgia Tech freshman Kaela Davis, who entered the game averaging 18.5 points, was 2-for-14 from the floor and only 1-for-9 on 3-pointers to score seven points, her lowest output of the season.
"We knew she could shoot the ball," Williams said. "But we also knew she was a freshman playing her first ACC game. We tried to call her name and get in her head a little bit."
