Our entire line of Everything Shadows is being retired in order to make room for new & exciting products. Read all about it here!
Glitter Pro-Tips:
- Cosmetic Grade, custom created sparkles are curated by a Glitter Jedi in our Nerd Makeup Lab.
- To apply glitter liner OR glitter shadow: Using a clear eyelash glue and either your finger or a fine-tipped brush, apply a small amount on the area of your eye where you could use a bit of sparkle. Then use a separate brush to add your cosmetic glitter of choice, making sure to press it in to the glue. When done correctly, you can wear that glitter liner for 10+ hours without reapplication!
- To pick up fallout without grinding or brushing glitter into your makeup, have a roll of scotch tape on hand. Take a piece about 3 inches long and use the sticky side to gently and efficiently pick up the stray sparkles.
- Get creative! Everyone can use some more glitter in their life!

A first unit of about 1,000 soldiers was seen withdrawing from the southern town of Anantnag, witnesses said.
Mr Singh told a rally of 8,000 in Srinagar that India would talk with any Kashmiri groups that shunned violence.
Shortly before his arrival, separatist militants launched an attack near the stadium where he held his rally.
More than 40,000 people have died in the disputed region since the armed insurgency began in 1989.
India and Pakistan have fought two wars over their rival claims to the territory which was split during the creation of Pakistan in 1947.
Bullet-proof screen
On arriving in Kashmir, Mr Singh said he had been able to order the troop withdrawal because of the improvement in the security situation in Kashmir.
It remains unclear how many soldiers India plans to pull out. Further withdrawals would depend on reduced militant activity by separatists, Mr Singh said.
In a speech to medical students before the main rally, he said he was "committed to unconditional dialogue
with anyone and everyone in the state who abjures violence".
He added: "We are also committed to a purposeful dialogue with Pakistan to resolve all outstanding issues. The only condition is that territory under control of Pakistan should not be used to promote cross-border terrorism directed against us."
However, the BBC's Altaf Hussain in Srinagar says analysts believe his comments did not represent a fresh initiative to restore the dialogue with separatist leaders that was suspended after the change of government in Delhi in May.
Mr Singh also later ruled out any re-division of Kashmir "along communal lines".
Analysts said this effectively rejected one of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's recent proposals that some parts could be divided between the two countries.
From behind a bullet-proof screen at the public rally in Srinagar, Mr Singh also announced a $5bn development package for the region.
Our correspondent says a number of people in the crowd were shouting slogans demanding jobs before peace.
He says many Kashmiris recall a huge economic package promised by prime minister Rajiv Gandhi 20 years ago that never materialised.
'Big step'
The troop withdrawal, announced by India last week, began early on Wednesday.
Brigadier-general of the Srinagar-based 15 Army Corps, JS Kataria, told the Press Trust of India: "The first column of troops moved out of Anantnag at 0800 [0230GMT]."
The BBC's Nick Bryant in Srinagar says the withdrawal is a manoeuvre as important diplomatically as it is militarily.
The prime minister says he is taking a risk by pulling troops out of the region, but says it is a calculated one.
The withdrawal has been welcomed by Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, who described it as a "big step" towards restoring normality in the state.
Pakistan's foreign ministry spokesman, Masood Khan, also welcomed the move, saying he hoped it would promote respect for human rights in Indian-administered Kashmir.
But the United Jihad Council, an alliance of several militant groups fighting to end Indian rule in Kashmir, dismissed the withdrawal.
Its leader, Syed Salah-ud-Din, said it was an attempt to cover up what he called the repression of Kashmiris by Indian troops.
Gun battle
India is estimated to have between 180,000 to 350,000 soldiers in the state, including paramilitary special forces who would not be affected by the pullout.
India and Pakistan have fought two wars over Kashmir, but since January this year they have embarked on a peace process to try to resolve all their outstanding differences, including those over Kashmir.
The process continues next week when Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz makes his first visit to India.
Before Mr Singh's rally on Wednesday, two militants were shot dead after taking up position in a derelict hotel building in Srinagar and exchanging gunfire with the Indian security forces for more than two hours.
Two soldiers and a civilian were also wounded in the attack, a police official told the Associated Press news agency.

audience use this document?" The meta-purpose of your document is determined when you decide which document you are writing. Requirements documents have a different meta-purpose than a project plan; the requirements document describes the system functions and features, while the project plan explains the teams' approach and schedule for developing the software.
In the end, each audience determines exactly how they will use your document. The project team uses the requirements document to tell them what the system should do (the classic idea of a requirements document' purpose). In addition, the requirements document often serves as the linchpin for other documents, such as the design document, testing documentation, and configuration management documentation.
In addition to reviewing/approving the requirements for a system built in their department, departmental managers use the requirements document to gain support for the system. Therefore, the managers must be able to demonstrate the value of the system to its users. This value helps justify the expense of associated with the man-hours spent developing the system, the cost of new hardware or software, and explains to the customer why they should use the new system. In many ways, explaining to the customer why they should use the new system can be the most important support, for without customer buy-in, the system, no matter how well developed, is doomed to fail through lack of user acceptance.
The SMEs use the requirements document very differently than either the project team or the departmental management. While the SME does provide information about what the user needs, they also use the requirements document to tell the user how the software will meet their needs. In this way, the SME solicits feedback regarding the system and gains the user's buy-in and thus provide an informal, if not a formal, review/approval of system requirements documents to ensure they are complete.
Finally, the quality auditors use the requirements document to determine what the system does. Then, with the requirements as a starting point, the quality auditors will ensure that the design encompasses all the requirements, that all requirements are accounted for in the testing, and that the testing proves the code does what is required.
What Information Does Each Audience Need in This Document for Them to Use It?
Now you can ask yourself "What information does each audience in this document to use it?" The document must provide sufficient information for the audience to use it. Therefore, you must determine what knowledge each audience has and what additional information each audience needs in the document. When working on software systems, we need to determine what our audiences know in terms of technological knowledge and subject matter knowledge.
The project team should have a high level of technical knowledge; otherwise, they would not be creating the system. However, the team may not have much knowledge of the subject matter area. Therefore, we must include enough explanation, either in the requirement or in an introduction, to ensure that the project team will understand how their system is expected to perform the functions specified in the requirements. If the requirements specify that the system should perform date searches, describing the valid date range, the type of input, and what records to search will make the requirement more easily designed and tested.
Departmental managers have some technological knowledge because they are managers in an IT department, but we can not expect them to have in-depth knowledge of the newest changes in IT technology. However, they usually will not have much knowledge of the subject matter area. As a result, we must provide enough description of the subject matter

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Just mere days before the NHL draft, the Bruins made some noise with their trade with the Florida Panthers. Boston sent Dennis Wideman, the No. 15 pick in Friday's draft, and a 2011 third-round pick down south in exchange for Nathan Horton and Gregory Campbell.
Horton, who has been criticzed in the past for his work ethic, managed to score 20 goals with 37 assists in 65 games last season.
"I want to be more physical and just all around be a better player. I think I have more to give. I'll be working pretty hard this summer. I want to come in the best shape. I think I'm just excited for a change. It's going to be great. I think it's going to work out good" – Nathan Horton
Horton, who has three years left on his deal, will hopefully beef up Boston's offensive attack, which was among the worst in the NHL last season with 206 goals scored (29th in the NHL).
As for his work ethic, many are confident that head coach Claude Julien can take control of this young buck and turn him into a productive member of this team.
Tags: Bruins, Florida Panthers, Nathan Horton
So the Bruins trade their worst defensive player (who admittedly was awesome just two years ago) and get what is now their best winger?
Great move.
[…] team's other first round pick (No. 15 overall), was traded to the Panthers in the Dennis Wideman-Nathan Horton trade earlier in the week. On draft night, the Panthers traded that pick to the Los Angeles Kings, who […]

Choosing a Motorcycle Injury Law Firm
Denver and Aurora Personal Injury Lawyer
[video_seo id=8 autoplay=0 width=480 height=270]
Riding a motorcycle through Colorado is a rewarding experience – but unfortunately, this reward comes with a risk. Since motorcycles offer their riders very little protection, motorcycle accidents can cause catastrophic injuries, resulting in severe and often permanent disabilities or death. If an accident does occur, it is important to retain an experienced Colorado Motorcycle Accident Attorney to handle your case. But how do you choose a Colorado Motorcycle Accident Attorney?
Choosing a motorcycle accident attorney while under physical and mental distress can be incredibly difficult. Therefore, it is important to consider all angles before choosing the attorney that is right for you.
Choose a Motorcycle Accident Attorney with Experience
A motorcycle accident attorney who has experience negotiating and litigating motorcycle accident cases, is the first step towards obtaining the compensation you need. As a motorcyclist, you need an attorney who understands motorcycles or who is an avid motorcyclist himself. Insurance companies unfortunately still believe motorcyclists to be reckless, even though motorcycle accident statistics show that the majority of accidents are caused by other drivers.
Choose a Motorcycle Accident Attorney who is Reputable
Just because an attorney has successfully won motorcycle accident cases, does not mean that he is the right attorney to represent your case. Talk with friends, family and colleagues to get referrals. If no one you know has been represented by a motorcycle accident attorney before, contact the Colorado Bar Association. The CBA will be able to recommend Motorcycle Accident Attorneys in your area who are specialized in the type of accident you were involved in and the type of injuries you sustained.
Choose an Motorcycle Accident Attorney who is Upfront
An attorney should always be upfront with you about your case, your legal options and his pay schedule. You should never be surprised by fees or options you were unaware of. In addition, a good motorcycle accident attorney will advise you of all your legal options and should never pressure you into filing a lawsuit. Your attorney should always have your best interest in mind and be honest and upfront throughout the legal process.
These are just 3 of the many points you should consider before choosing a Colorado motorcycle accident attorney. No matter who you choose, legal representation after a motorcycle accident is important. You have rights – a motorcycle accident attorney will make sure you aren't taken advantage of after a traumatic motorcycle accident.
Contact a Colorado Motorcycle Attorney
If you or someone you love has been injured in a motorcycle accident you may be able to recover for lost wages, pain and suffering, and medical expenses. Contact us for a free initial consultation and honest assessment of your legal situation. We're available 24/7 by phone, fax and e-mail. We return after-hours calls promptly and provide interpreters for our Spanish-speaking clients.

Keeping Those Pig Flu Germs Off Your Face
I finally saw my first mask-wearing subway riders today - one guy, and a couple seats away, the woman you see here, in this highly atmospheric and stylized photo. That was in the morning. This afternoon, I saw another woman walk out of a station with a mask on. That makes a grand total of three New Yorkers with masks on, which, if you think about it, isn't a whole lot, given the pandemic-level attention the swine flu has received.
Should more New Yorkers be wearing masks right now?
I put the question to a few people on the street. An actor I spoke to, Jeremy Beiler, said YES, they should be, and that he's not so comfortable riding the subway because it's such a 'petri dish' and no one's wearing masks.
'I haven't seen anyone with masks on, but it seems brazenly American to not wear masks,' he said.
But another guy I interviewed, a corporate chef named Mike Passotti, thinks the idea of wearing masks is silly, and would only reflect the media's swine flu hype.
'The media needs something to put on the front page,' he said. 'They need to scare us more. That's what I get out of it.'
So, what's your take? Are we going to see more New Yorkers wearing masks in the coming days, as more pharmacies replenish their stock (I checked a couple stores, and they ran out days ago)? Or are we so fashion-conscious in this city that we need people to actually die of the swine flu before we take that step?

By Paul Gardner
Let's see now, I think a few well-chosen words on the Barcelona vs. Arsenal game would be in order. Something like this:
Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi, Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi -- Messi. Messi, Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi; Messi -- Messi Messi -- Messi. Messi, Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi; Messi Messi Messi, Messi Messi, Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi; Messi Messi Messi -- Messi. Messi, Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi!!
I've read through that paragraph again, carefully checking the grammar and the syntax and the spelling and the punctuation and the meaning, and it all seems fine to me. No exaggerations, no purple prose, just the plain facts.
The game took place in the shadows of a blinding light called Messi. The light got more and more dazzling as play proceeded until in the end it eclipsed everything. I don't want to hear -- though, of course, I shall be forced to put up with -- all the silly-clever comments from our beloved technical experts, who will downplay Messi and point out that the key figure in the game was really Barca's goalkeeper, or something equally barmy. You can be sure that
The hell with the experts, let them shut up for once, let them keep their coach-speaking twaddle to themselves for a change, and let the rest of us wallow in the sheer luxury and beauty of a superb performance from a wonderful player. If only ...
So anti-individual, so anti-star has the sport become that it is now virtually impossible to praise an exceptional player without almost apologizing for doing so. When praise is grudgingly given it must always be wrapped up in a qualifying cocoon of ifs and buts and whys and wherefores and maybes all designed to dumb down the player's brilliance.
We'll start with the opposing coach last night, Arsene Wenger: "Messi can make a difference at any moment in a game. He can take advantage of any mistakes you make ..." which already diminishes what Messi can do. He doesn't create anything, he simply pounces on errors. Furthermore, "he has the team to help him. Barca is more than Messi."
OK, OK -- Wenger has just seen his team slaughtered, and Messi has been the chief executioner. Maybe he genuinely finds it difficult to heap unqualified praise on the Argentine. But I think there's more to it than that. Wenger is a leading member of the species Coachus modernus (a species that, in true Darwinian fashion, is slowly driving Coachus anticus to extinction). As such he feels, possibly subconsciously, that great soccer cannot be attributed solely to the players, and certainly not to just one player -- the coach has to be in there, playing an important, probably key, role. After all, isn't that what he's paid plenty of money to do?
Hence the post-game, or post-loss, autopilot switches on, and we're immediately made to feel that our praise of Messi should be reined in.
If I found Wenger's remarks too party-pooping, what am I to say when another Coachus modernus turns up and makes matters even worse? None other than Pep Guardiola, Messi's very own coach, who talked of "behind the scenes" work" (i.e. coaching) and pointed out that "There are many players who know they will not be in the headlines but play out of position sometimes for the good of the team ... If we don't play well, Messi might not do so well."
Remember: this was a night when -- in an era of soccer in which defenses dominate and goalscoring is mighty difficult, in the quarterfinal of the world's toughest club competition, against one of the world's top teams -- a remarkable player scored four wonderful goals. I for one do not want to hear, for the umpteenth tedious time, all that pedantic coaching jazz.
Of course Messi needs his teammates -- we all know that, just as we all know that soccer is a team game. We do not need to be repeatedly lectured on this point by people who -- to judge from their breathless wide-eyed enthusiasm -- have only just worked it out.
For once, it would have been nice to hear the coaches go to the microphone and straight away, without evasions or apologies, simply praise Messi. This was Messi's night, why not give him all the praise he deserves for making it such a memorable one for the entire sport of soccer?
Yet it was not a coach, but a goalkeeper, Arsenal's Manuel Almunia, who got it right: "He is a brilliant player. He was fantastic, he was great tonight. I think he is the best player I have ever played against and is the best in the world."
Of course, Guardiola did praise Messi. Mixed in among his qualifiers was this: "There is no way to describe Messi's performance. There are no words ..."
No, that's not true. There are words, and here they are: Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi Messi, Messi Messi, Messi Messi -- Messi Messi Messi. And Messi. If you appreciate the beauty of this sport, you will understand those words.
Thank you, Lionel.

Though Mr. Lin purports to attack "Chomsky's view of language" and to defend the "common sense view of language", he in fact attacks "views" that are basic and common to linguists, psycholinguists, and developmental psychologists. Indeed, though he cites W. V. O. Quine, L. Wittgenstein, and J. L. Austin in his support, they all sharply part company from his views, Austin particularly. Lin's views are not common sense but a set of scholarly and philological prejudices that linguistics disparaged from its inception as an organized science a hundred years ago.
Professor [of Philosophy]: I will explain to you the secrets of language in all its wealth and complexity.
Monsieur Jordain: & Great. Now I'll let you into a secret of my own. I am in love with a lady – a noble lady – and I would like you to help me write a little note which I can drop at her dainty feet.
Professor: ...Presumably you want it written in verse?
Monsieur Jourdain: Verse. No. I can't stand verse.
Professor: In prose, then.
Monsieur Jourdain: What do you think I am? Prose? Not [expletive deleted] likely!
Professor: Well, I'm sorry, but it has to be one or the other. You can only express yourself in prose or verse.
Monsieur Jourdain: What, [expletive deleted]-all else? Just prose or verse? ... That's a bit of a let down. Call yourself a philosopher? ...What about when I talk like I am doing right at this moment, what's that then?
Philosopher: That, Monsieur, is prose.
Monsieur Jourdain: You mean I have been talking in prose for forty [expletive deleted] years and never known it?

Following the loss of just two seniors from last year's 4-21 team, fourth-year head coach Edgar Wilson will have nine returning lettermen and eight incoming recruits to build his team around.
"We're going to improve," stated Wilson. "A year of maturity has benefited the returning players, and the addition of key newcomers will provide us with more depth and athleticism."
FSU's backcourt will be strengthened by the return of three senior guards, including 1998-99 leading scorer Ray Pope. The 6-foot-2 shooting guard averaged a career-high 13.0 points per game and received second-team All-GLIAC accolades for his efforts. In addition to being the only player to start all 25 games, Pope led FSU in steals (31) and finished second in three-point field goals (33).
Senior guard Aaron Nauta (6-0), the Bulldogs' leader in three-pointers (38) last year, will be counted on for his outside shooting and returns with a chance to become Ferris State's all-time leader in three-point field goals. Entering this season, he ranks fifth in team history with 117 – 26 behind all-time leader Joe Blankenship (1991-93).
The third member of Wilson's senior class of guards is Leaondre Salter (6-3). He led FSU in field goal percentage (.492) and finished tied for fourth in scoring (6.8 ppg) last season. Salter also improved his perimeter shooting, making 41.4 percent (12-29) of his three-point attempts.
Junior Donté Hill (6-1) returns for his second season with the program after benefiting from a year of experience. Hill, a transfer from Kellogg Community College, averaged 4.1 ppg.
Five incoming recruits will compete for minutes and provide depth at the guard positions. Donald Tinsley (6-4), a transfer from Wayne Community College, is capable of playing either guard position and could see time at forward. He was named Most Valuable Player at last year's Michigan Junior College all-star game.
The other four recruits, Kevin Harris (6-2), Kenyatta McCadney (6-3), Shawn Monroe (5-9) and Tony Rogers (6-0), join FSU as freshmen after graduating high school in the spring. Harris completed his prep career at Ypsilanti High School; McCadney, recruited by Big Ten schools in football, graduated from Detroit Southeastern; Monroe was an all-conference selection at Lindblom (Ill.) High School; and Rogers earned Detroit Free Press fifth-team all-state honors after helping Bark-River Harris to the Class D semi-finals.
Ferris State's frontcourt returns just two upperclassmen in senior forward Justin Hudson (6-5) and junior forward/center Dion Ferrell (6-7). Hudson started a career-high 10 games a year ago and responded with career bests in every major offensive category. One of the most physically gifted players on the team, he averaged 2.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. Ferrell showed glimpses of scoring potential late in the season by reaching double figures in two of the last four games, including a career-high 17 points at Northern Michigan. He also took advantage of his 6-7 frame to lead the team in blocked shots (22).
Other returning frontcourt players include a trio of sophomores – Adam Anderson (6-10), Jeff Guernsey (6-5) and Matt Miller (6-8). Anderson shot 47.7 percent from the floor and finished tied for fourth on the team in scoring (6.8 ppg) while blocking 21 shots. Miller averaged 3.2 points and 2.8 rebounds per game while compiling a respectable 49.2 shooting percentage. Guernsey made the team as a walk-on and earned playing time in 10 games.
Incoming players expected to provide support in the frontcourt are 6-8 junior Dennis Smolinski and freshman Phillip Fotré (6-3). Smolinski, who plays both power forward and center, averaged a double-double last year for Alpena Community College. Fotré was a two-time all-conference selection at Gage Park (Ill.) High School and averaged 19.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game as a senior.
When the Bulldogs return to the court this fall, they will be playing in the newly constructed 2,400-seat Jim Wink Arena in the Sports and Convocation Center.
"I believe that having a new arena will help us reestablish our home-court advantage," said Wilson. "It will allow us to build some consistency and continuity that is definitely needed in our program."
Coach Wilson and the Bulldogs will have the opportunity to get back on the winning track with their first home game at the new arena versus intra-state rival Calvin College on Tues., Nov. 30. Other non-conference home games include St. Joseph's (Dec. 11), Grace Bible (Dec. 18) and IUPU-Ft. Wayne (Dec. 28).
"We have toughened our non-conference schedule by playing more Division II teams than in the past," explained Wilson. "In addition to our home schedule, we have challenging road games at Quincy, Wisconsin-Parkside and Southern Indiana."

To All Depository Institutions, and Others Concerned, in the Second Federal Reserve District:
The following is from the text of a statement issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System:
The Federal Reserve Board has approved a December 8, 1997 effective date to open the Fedwire funds transfer service at 12:30 a.m. Eastern Time (ET). The current operating hours of the Fedwire funds transfer service are 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET. The closing time of the Fedwire funds transfer service remains unchanged.
Previously, the Board determined that expansion of the Fedwire funds transfer service to 18 hours per day could be a useful component of private-sector initiatives to reduce settlement risk in the foreign exchange markets and to eliminate an operational barrier to potentially important innovation in privately provided payment and settlement services. Participation in the earlier Fedwire operating hours is voluntary for depository institutions.
In conjunction with the expansion of Fedwire operating hours, the Board also has approved a modification to the daylight overdraft posting times to fix at 8:30 a.m. ET the posting time for certain non-wire transactions that are tied to the current opening time of the Fedwire funds transfer service.
The text of the Board's official notice, as published in the Federal Register of November 6. Questions on this matter may be directed to Andrew Heikaus, Assistant Vice President, Electronic Payments Function.

Internal Disaster Fire Plan
Internal Disaster Plan for Fire
The purposes of this plan are to:
- prevent occurrence entirely or reduce the effects of the incident;
- rescue entrapped persons;
- prevent injury to patients, visitors and employees;
- prevent additional damage to property; and
- satisfy all applicable regulatory agencies.
University Policies & Procedures
Internal Disaster Plan 119.40
Attachment 2
A major aspect of this plan is for the development of measures that will prevent a disaster caused by fire. The following activities are necessary requirements for successfully preventing the initiation of a fire and to alleviate the effects of its damage.
- Annual fire safety training for all employees, with concentrated efforts in areas having high risks.
- New employee orientation covering fire safety procedures.
- Annual intensive training for employees who are assigned to the Emergency Response Team.
- Annual safety seminar for contractors.
- Annual familiarization tour of the facilities for local fire companies.
- Annual safety audits to be conducted in all buildings.
- Frequent testing of all fire alarm systems with immediate correction procedures for deficiencies.
- Fire drills in all buildings covering all shifts.
- Annual review of fire safety procedures.
- Scheduled preventive maintenance for all essential equipment.
- Quarterly meetings of the Jefferson Safety Steering Committee and its subcommittees.
Response to fire incidents will be handled by the Philadelphia Fire Department and The Emergency Response Team.
Security: Security will call the Philadelphia Fire Department and give the street address and floor number where the incident is occurring. They will also notify the Emergency Response Team and Facilities Services to assure that everyone is aware of the alarm. Security will meet and direct the Philadelphia Fire Department to the fire location. They will also maintain communications at the fire and direct those not involved in the emergency to evacuate the area. They are authorized to stop others from entering the building in jeopardy.
Facilities Services Control Room: Upon receipt of an alarm, Control Room personnel will dispatch via mobile radio all Emergency Response personnel assigned to the Emergency Response Team to the fire location. They will also notify Security to assure that everyone has received the alarm.
Emergency Response Team: Employees from the Facilities Services, Security, and Environmental Health and Safety Departments staff the Emergency Response Team. They shall immediately upon notification of a fire alarm proceed to the area of the alarm. They should obtain fire extinguishers as they approach the area in jeopardy.
The Emergency Response Team is directed by the University Fire Marshal, Director of Environmental Health and Safety, Director of Facilities Services or the senior team member present.
At the conclusion of any significant fire, everyone who had direct responsibilities in any aspect of the event will identify any:
- facility malfunction
- segment of the plan or procedure that may require a revision
- employee who performed exceptionally well during the emergency for the purpose of personal recognition
University Buildings - Discovery of a Fire
Fire: The Hazard
Fire contains potentially deadly components. Because of the varying degrees of occupancies within University buildings, it is important that employees and students are aware of the hazards that may exist in their individual areas.
The potential for a fire is much greater in a laboratory where Class I flammable liquids are used than in a library reading room. Because of this fact, a scientist who works in a laboratory must be more cognizant of dangers from fire than the student studying for an exam in the library. However, everyone needs to be aware of the procedures required once a fire is discovered.
Fire: The Defense
Unlike Hospital buildings where employees must assist visitors in a fire, employees in University buildings normally do not have that responsibility. However, the R.A.C.E. concept works equally well in any building and the same defense should be employed.
R Rescue or Remove anyone who may be in immediate danger.
A Alarm. Sound the building's fire alarm to alert everyone that a fire has been discovered. Dial 811 on a Jefferson phone to initiate a full response by the Emergency Response Team.
C Confine or Contain the fire by closing doors, especially the door of the room involved.
E Evacuate. Extinguish the fire, if possible, by using the appropriate fire extinguisher if you are familiar with its use. Extinguishment must not be attempted until the first three (3) have been completed.
Fire: The Reaction
Whenever a fire alarm is activated, it is the responsibility of everyone in the building to follow the specific procedures for fire evacuation from that building. In University buildings, evacuation must be vertical. Each building has its own individual identity as pertains to the fire alarm; learn to recognize these.
Total evacuation is necessary in the, Bluemle Life Sciences Building, Clinical Office Building, Jefferson Alumni Hall, Medical Office Building, and Scott Building and Dorrance Hamilton Building.
The following buildings have had procedures developed to allow occupants to enter the nearest fire exit stairway and remain in the stairway during the alarm period.
- Barringer Residence
- College/Curtis Buildings (Philadelphia Fire Towers only, all other exits require evacuation to the outside)
- Edison Building (South Fire Tower only, North stairway must evacuate to the street)
- Martin Residence (North fire exit only, South stairway must evacuate to the street)
- Orlowitz Residence
It is the responsibility of every employee and student to enter the nearest approved fire exit stairway every time a fire alarm is transmitted and to direct visitors and guests to the nearest exit.

How To Save Our World Economy - Video
Posted in the Washington Post Forum

On the issue of saving and improving our world economy...
Here is a link for a very short video that I made about how to help to save and improve our world economy, I kept it really short and I left a lot of stuff out, but I was able to talk about a few things that I think are extremely important. I hope that you enjoy my video, and if you enjoy it then please share my video with other people on the world wide web, as that is the only way that we can get this message out there to people.
Here is the LINK:
When I was in college I had an extremely brilliant history professor who wrote an amazing dissertation for her doctorate about the Great Depression; she wrote about what caused the Great Depression, and she wrote about what America did to help America to overcome the Great Depression, and she wrote about things which were done to help to prevent another Great Depression from happening. I have always really loved history, and I read and studied a lot, and so the history professor and I were able to have some really wonderful discussions about history. I just loved her, it was a really great class, and many of the things which we discussed were really pertinent to problems which we are facing today. And it is important to know history so that we do not repeat past mistakes. There are many problems which are happening now in the present day for which the solutions can be found by studying and knowing history. Many of the answers pertaining how to save and improve our world economy can be found by studying and knowing history.
The way that people have been trying to save and improve our world economy is NOT working, the bail outs and stimulus schemes are NOT working, the world economy just continues to get worse and worse, and the world economy will just continue to get worse and worse until we take the desperately needed action and deal with the core issues which are hurting our world economy, we must take the correct action NOW.
Please help me to get this message out to people by sharing this on the world wide web. If we all work together as a team in good ways then we can help to save and improve our world economy quickly. Thank you very much.
Here is a link for a thread that I started on the Harvard University Topix forum pertaining how to save and improve our world economy...

I will post this just in case any of you are into the arts, after I attended college and received my Associate in Arts degree, I attended The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, some of you may like this...
Here is an acting scene on You Tube of me doing the Second Chorus from Anouilh's Antigone. My Uncle Dennis was my cameraman (He died in January, I miss him). I hope that you enjoy it. I will make more You Tube videos soon.
"Antigone, an adaptation of Sophocles's classic produced in the context of the anti-fascist French resistance, is Jean Anouilh's (19101987) most often-produced work today. Antigone premiered in Paris in 1944, but Anouilh had written his tale of lone rebellion against the state two years earlier, inspired by an act of resistance during Paris's occupation by the Nazis. In August 1942, a young man named Paul Collette fired at and wounded a group of directors during a meeting of the collaborationist Légion des volontaires français. Collette did not belong to a Resistance network or organized political group, but acted entirely alone and in full knowledge of his certain death. For Anouilh, Collette's solitary actat once heroic, gratuitous, and futilecaptured the essence of tragedy and demanded an immediate revival of Antigone. Aware of Anouilh's thinly veiled attack on the Vichy government, the Nazis censored Antigone immediately upon its release. It premiered two years later at the Théâtre de l'Atelier in Paris under the direction of André Barsacq, a few months before Paris' liberation. The play starred (his wife) Monelle Valentin as the doomed princess."

On the issue of oil and gas in North Dakota...
I was talking with an elder of a Native American Indian tribe in North Dakota, we worked on a film together, she said that they found oil on their reservation, and so her tribe is super excited because they will make desperately needed money from the oil. I absolutely love seeing good people here in America making money from the oil, instead of importing oil from the Middle East.
Drill baby drill!
By the way, I also met another Native American Indian elder while working on that film who toured with Jim Morrison and The Doors, The Doors hired him to dance on stage in full Native American Indian dress during their concerts. He was a cool old guy. I met some really cool people while working on that film.

Oil and Gas Boom in Indian Country! Tribal Leaders and EPA Meet in Denver
By Carol Berry
April 12, 2012
On April 3, tribal leaders met with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Denver to discuss a number of pertinent issues, including those related to booming oil and gas exploration on tribal lands and some of the accompanying problems.
Members of a six-state EPA tribal regional operations committee (ROC) analyzed recent oil exploration successes and drawbacks, hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and the difficulty of environmental protection when big money is at stake.
Boom Times
Indian country is poised for substantial new oil and gas activity, the revenue from which may equal or exceed the riches currently being extracted from the Bakken Formation, which lies beneath a 200,000 square-mile area in North Dakota and Montana that includes Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, home of the Three Affiliated Tribes.
Oil and gas production in North Dakota has yielded more than $1.3 billion annually and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) inspections on federal mineral operations on the Bakken Formation rose from 200 to 718 in a four-year period, according to that agency.
Jim Stockbridge, BLM trust liaison officer, said that on Fort Berthold the revenue from oil and gas is huge, but it may pale in comparison to projected extraction on Ute Indian Tribe lands on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in Utah, where oil resources exist that may be at least as big as the Bakken Formation.
Another area expected to see a phenomenal amount of activity in oil and gas exploration is around Farmington, N.M., which may add 1,000 new wells this year, he said.

People really need to stop blaming the bankers and Wall Street for all of the problems!
I watched a three hour show last night on one of the free channels on television about why they think the economy is in bad shape, and the show made the bankers and Wall Street out to be the bad guys in regard to why the economy is bad. From my point of view it is a blessing to be able to borrow money, and to be able to take your company public and sell shares to finance your business, and to be able to make money by investing in the stock market, etc. But on this show it made the bankers out to be predators, who loaned people money knowing that the people could never repay the loans, and who trapped people in debt, and then when the people could not repay the money the bankers and Wall Street were bailed out by the government. The show made the bankers and Wall Street out to be the scum of the earth. But, I just do not see it that way.
I would love to be able to borrow money to finance all of my dreams, and I would love to have a great banker who offered me unlimited credit at low interest rates. Having a great banker on your team can help you to achieve your dreams. That is how Trump got rich, he started out borrowing money, and he started out deep in debt, and he invested the money wisely that he borrowed, and now he is very successful. Lots of people who are successful started out deep in debt, and bankers helped them to achieve their dreams.
And it is up to you to work hard and invest the money wisely that you borrow, and if you fail it is your own fault, and you cannot blame your banker if you fail.
I tried to borrow money to do my production company from bankers, there are two banks in Beverly Hills that loan money to make movies, so I tried to borrow money from both of them, and I also tried some banks in New York, and the banks all turned me down. I also tried some banks on some other business ideas. If I could have found a good banker who would have loaned me money I would have been successful a long time ago.
People need to stop blaming the bankers for their own failure to work hard and invest the money wisely. You are one of the lucky few if you can find a good banker to loan you money to chase your dreams.

I did an interview recently for a friend's internet podcast radio show. His name is Charley Miller, and he does his interviews in a different way, he gets into the character of Groucho Marx, and then he interviews his guests as Groucho. For this episode of his show he talks about Memorial Day, and then he interviews me as Groucho. I think he has a great radio voice, and he did a great job.
Here is a link for the download of the show...
I referred Charley to another friend, Jon Nelson, who is a guitar player, Jon played guitar for The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and for Suicidal Tendencies, and for other bands, his current band is NASTY HABITS, and Charley will interview Jon next. I wish Charley the best with his internet podcast radio show.

I was just reading about education in the USA, and people in the USA are earning their high school diplomas and are getting college degrees at all time record high numbers.
This is good for the USA, because the USA is self governed, and is "Of the people, by the people, for the people," and thus it is important for the people of the USA to be educated.
I think that what is going on is that with the bad economy people are staying in school longer before entering the work force. Also, people who are unable to gain employment are becoming better educated and better trained in order to gain employment. And of course those who have an education and training earn more money.
Some people claim that there is a "dumbing down" of America, but the opposite is true, Americans are becoming educated in record numbers.
With all of the negativity, it is nice to see something positive. There are some good things happening right now that are going unreported. Americans are becoming better educated and better trained, and this is a good thing for America.
All the best,

Here is a link for a thread that I started on the Backstage message board pertaining how to save and improve our world economy...
We CAN save and improve our world economy if we all work together as a team globally in good ways.
And we have modern technology to help us.
Slavery is alive and well in the world, only instead of using black slaves in the South of the United States, they are using communist slave labor in China and in Vietnam. And that is what is wrong with our world economy, all of the jobs are being lost to communist slavery, and the communist slave workers are working their asses off but they cannot afford to buy anything and they cannot afford to participate in the world economy. Whenever good paying jobs are lost to slavery then everyone loses, and it is killing our world economy.
Here is a link for a thread that I started on the Topix forum for China about how to save and improve our world economy...
Here is a link for a thread that I started on the Topix forum for Vietnam about how to save and improve our world economy...
Here is a thread that I started on the Topix forum for the Philippines about how to save and improve our world economy...
And here is a link for a thread that I started on the Topix forum for Greece about how to save Greece...
If we want to save our world economy then we need to think global, and we need global teamwork.
Here is a link for a thread that I started on the Teamsters forum pertaining how to save and improve our world economy, the Teamsters can help.
The Teamsters, and other unions around the world, all supported Lech Walesa and the labor movement in Poland, and the unions around the world need to support the workers in China the same way, and we also need to support the workers of Vietnam, and globally. There needs to be a brotherhood amongst the workers of the world, and we need to support each other. By fighting for fair pay and for good treatment for all workers we help to ensure our own.

Does Mitt Romney have the balls to take on China in order to fix things?
Does Mitt Romney have the balls to support a labor movement in China?
Does Mitt Romney have the balls to enforce our fair trade rules, and to help create new fair trade rules if needed for our survival and betterment?
Does Mitt Romney have the balls to support FAIR trade instead of just free trade?
Does Mitt Romney have the balls to fight for the same environmental protection rules for everyone globally?
Mitt Romney has already stated that he will not borrow money from China, how hard will he fight to help to save and improve our world economy, and to help make our world a better place?
I would love to hear Mitt Romney answer these questions.

Isaiah 10:1-2

Here is some more good stuff from the Bible...
"Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
Psalm 82:3-4
And always remember the Golden Rule to treat other people the same way that you would wish for them to treat you, and love your neighbor!
This is how we can and should save and improve our entire world economy, we need to treat other people the same way that we would wish to be treated, and we need to help those who are oppressed. Seriously, it is what our world needs.

Mitt Romney Releases New Ads In Ohio, Nevada, Targeting Obama's Economic Record
The Huffington Post | By Sabrina Siddiqui
Posted: 10/05/2012
Mitt Romney's campaign released three new ads on Friday targeting President Barack Obama's economic record, two of the spots tailored to swing states Ohio and Nevada.
The central themes are consistent with other ads from the Republican presidential nominee's campaign during the election cycle. The message is that the president has failed to create jobs and stand up to China, and that Romney would be more effective in steering the economy down the right path.
In the commercial focusing on Ohio, Romney continues a recent trend of making a direct on-camera appeal to voters and touts his plan to create 12 million jobs. He also emphasizes the need to crack down on China.
Here is the link...

What is cancer? What causes pancreatic cancer? What are pancreatic cancer symptoms and signs? How is cancer of the pancreas diagnosed? What is the treatment for pancreatic cancer? What are the side effects of treatment for cancer of the pancreas? How do patients and families adjust to cancer of the pancreas? What is the prognosis for pancreatic cancer? What resources are available to cancer patients and families? What is the pancreas? The pancreas is a spongy, tube-shaped organ about 6 inches long. It is located in the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. The head of the pancreas is on the right side of the abdomen. It is connected to the duodenum, the upper end of the small intestine. The narrow end of the pancreas, called the tail, extends to the left side of the body. The pancreas makes pancreatic juices and hormones, including insulin. Pancreatic juices, also called enzymes, help digest food in the small intestine. Insulin controls the amount of sugar in the blood. Both enzymes and hormones are needed to keep the body working right. As pancreatic juices are made, they flow into the main pancreatic duct. This duct joins the common bile duct, which connects the pancreas to the liver and the gallbladder. The common bile duct, which carries bile (a fluid that helps digest fat), connects to the small intestine near the stomach. What is cancer? Cancer is a group of diseases. More than 100 different types of cancer are known, and several types of cancer can develop in the pancreas. They all have one thing in common: abnormal cells grow and destroy body tissue. Healthy cells that make up the body's tissues grow, divide, and replace themselves in an orderly way. This process keeps the body in good repair. Sometimes, however, some cells lose the ability to control their growth. They grow too rapidly and without any order. Too much tissue is made, and tumors are formed. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not cancer. They do not spread to other parts of the body and are seldom a threat to life. Often, benign tumors can be removed by surgery, and they are not likely to return. Malignant tumors are cancer. They can invade and destroy nearby healthy tissues and organs. Cancer cells also can break away from the tumor and spread to other parts of the body. The spread of cancer is called metastasis. Cancer that starts in the pancreas is called pancreatic cancer. When pancreatic cancer spreads, it usually travels through the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system includes a network of thin tubes that branch, like blood vessels, into tissues all over the body. Cancer cells are carried through these vessels by lymph, a colorless, watery fluid that carries cells that fight infection. Along the network of lymphatic vessels are groups of small, bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes. Surgeons often remove lymph nodes near the pancreas to learn whether they contain cancer cells.

Sabi ni Bistek na isa sa dahilan kung bakit raw dapat palitan ang Constitution natin (to Arroyo's version) ay para mawala na raw ang "gridlock." Translation: What he and other pro cha cha supporters want is to get rid of the "checks and balance" in our system, so that the illegimate president can do whatever she wants without being challenged -- just like marcos.
And IIRC, gridlock wasn't a big issue panahon ni Cory, Ramos at Erap and even during Arroyo's first term as president. in fact, maganda ang working relationship ni maam Arroyo at ng senate majority, led by franklin drilon.
But I guess you can say na mas grabe at halata ang "gridlock" ngayon... pero hindi naman ito kasalanan ng senado, kundi dahil puro stonewalling ang ginagawa ng malacanang ever since nabuking sila sa GLORIAGATE scandal at naging questionable ang legitimacy ni Maam. And of course, arroyo's EO 464 did not help matters at all.
so, wala namang problem sa sistema natin dati eh. yung malacanang occupant ang may problema, kaya gusto na ng mga kaalyado ni arroyo na i-abolish ang senado.
Sen. Serge Osmena reveals documented Palace plot to rig Cha Cha
Backed up by Malacañang documents showing the mapping up the scheme on the signature drive through the people's initiative, which bared the Palace's fingerprints all over it, a senator yesterday disclosed the probability of the Senate calling for a referendum or a plebiscite for the Filipino electorate to decide on whether to hold snap elections to end President Arroyo's time in Malacañang.
Sen. Sergio Osmeña lll yesterday said: "This is going to be a referendum on her performance because we see this as a dirty trick that they're trying to pull a fast one on the Filipino people, all of them," he said in reference to the ongoing efforts of Malacañang to rig a constitutional change, explaining that on the contrary, instead of signatures for Cha-cha, the public sentiment on her continued stay in power will be reflected as the end result.
"She (Mrs. Arroyo) is looking beyond 2010. As far as we're concerned, if you are pro-Cha-cha, you want her to stay for life, if you're anti-Cha-cha, you want her to step down," he said.
"That is her doing…of course it benefits her. It will allow her to stay in power for life," the senator stressed.
Apart from the Senate's move virtually declaring the ongoing signature drive or people's initiative as illegal in their signed Resolution 478, senators are prepared to go on a collision course with Malacañang by engaging in similar public forums, and gathering signatures to counter Cha-cha.
"I think we will have our own signature campaign for an amendment to the Constitution allowing snap elections, if a majority in the Senate call for snap elections," Osmeña said.
"We might even come up with a bigger number of signatures…we could start today or tomorrow.
"The members of the Senate, at least, agreed to be more active in discussing this in public forum, that's number one."
Osmeña also corroborated charges on Malacañang's involvement in the ongoing signature campaign under the guise of people's initiative, baring documents showing a well-mapped-out scheme on the signature drive, saying as much as P500 to P1,000 is being "given" to each signatory-voter.

DILG operators caught faking Cha-cha 'yes' votes
Malacañang's poll cheating operators are back at work again, this time manufacturing the signatures for Charter change (Cha-cha) through the people's initiative, and done at the old Byron Hotel, which has been renamed the Horizon Hotel in Edsa.
GMA-7 cameras yesterday caught Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) officials at the hotel while their operators were carting away several boxes, believed to be the documents bearing the faked signatures, but in their haste to be caught by the TV crew, left one box behind.
During the canvassing of presidential votes and even after the proclamation by Congress of President Arroyo as the President-elect, certificates of canvass (CoC) were being manufactured and election returns altered by her poll operators, to ensure Mrs. Arroyo's victory. There were also break-ins at the House of Representatives where ballot boxes were reportedly carted off and said to be taken to the home of former Commission on Elections (Comelec) officer lawyer Roque Bello for the switching of election returns.
All these previous cheating incidents were caught on camera and audio tapes, from which serious political instability stemming from a legitimacy issue of Mrs. Arroyo's presidency has been plaguing the nation.
GMA-7 in its primetime news, identified the DILG official as Rolando Acosta. There were several other DILG officers as well at the hotel.
Huli ka!
Neal Cruz on why this is the worst to to Cha cha cha...
THERE ARE many reasons why we should not change our Constitution now. One is the motive of those who want to change it. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo wants to use it to cling to power. Speaker Jose de Venecia wants to be prime minister because he knows he will never be elected president. Former President Fidel V. Ramos wants to go back as chief executive through the prime ministership. The congressmen, governors and mayors want their terms extended. In short, their motives are selfish. Although they cite other reasons, it is clear to everybody that it is to benefit themselves that they want to change the Constitution. This is the worst reason to change it.
The framers of all our constitutions recognized the temptation of lawmakers to abuse their powers and pass laws that would benefit themselves. That is why there is a provision in the Charter that laws passed by Congress (such as increasing their salaries) cannot apply to them but become effective only after the election of a new set of legislators. Following the spirit of the Constitution, that should also apply to the writers of a new Charter. They should not benefit from the Charter that they themselves wrote.
Another reason that we should not change the Constitution at this time is the brazenness of the administration in using all means to achieve its ends. Bribery, in cash and in kind, is being used on everybody who would accept the bribes. A free three-year extension for local government officials, cash for barangay officials, jobs for relatives and friends of politicians, cash and food items to the poor herded to the barangay halls to sign the petition for a people's initiative.
Bribes, sacks of rice and more bribes. That's the best way to get the "people's intitiative" going.
Malaya Editorial: A regime of rule-breakers
See what ruthlessness in pursuit of self-interest can do? Gloria Arroyo is in perennial danger of being impeached for stealing and buying votes in 2004 and for the continuing cover-up of the original crime. The solution: Scrap Congress and the impeachment process through a shift to a parliamentary system. The immediate danger is eliminated. The bonus is the possibility of staying in power beyond 2010.
Ruthless indeed.

Mac'n Soul Food Wins Spot on Trucks on the Beach
Last month, we gave four trucks the opportunity to compete to the sixteenth and final truck to be invited to park on the sands of Miami Beach for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival's Trucks on the Beach event hosted by Andrew Zimmern on February 26.
Mac'n Soul Food, Miso Hungry, Sugar Rush, and the MexZican Gourment all hoped you the reader would help them win the popular vote for the chance to feed Zimmern and slew of other TV personalities, chefs, and, of course, the regular crowd. However, only one could make it and Miami's 100 percent vegan food truck Mac'n Soul Food won the big prize.
"It's so awesome!" said co-owner Francesca Lacuesta. "We're excited and proud that we had the support. The support of our followers is why we won, and we can't thank them enough."
So what can we expect Mac'n to serve the crowds on the beach?
"I don't know what I'm going to serve yet, but it's going to be delicious, and people will be surprised that it's vegan."

where to get a windshield?
:D Where do you guys think I can find a winshield for one of these?
I'm doing a bunch of work on my buddy's '65(the car pictured s not his) and one of the must fixes is the windshield. I was looking at it the other night and it appears to be a standard Caddy winshield that has been stood more upright than the factory angle. Anyone know if this is true, or where I may be able to find out? Thanx! :D
if all else fails call a boneyard or glass shop, i'm sure thier books can tell you what fits. to me it looks like the stock glass that has been stood up. i kinda dout that a coach shop would have a special windshield made for those deadsleds since that would of added $$$$$ to the cost of building these....joe
:D Yeah, that's what I was thinking. There is a '66 in the yard across from work, maybe I should go out the and measure it. Standing the glass up would definately be more economical... :D
Ironicly i know how you feel and your very lucky that none of the glass panels in the rear are needing replaced, because all of the rear glas is custom made by the coach builder....as for the windsheild it is a normal caddy windsheild kicked up as you mentioned, i replaced one on my 72 s and s....but you are correct when you say its a stock windsheild...at least it aint a 59...im still trying to find a good windsheild for mine.......and i think i started looking when i was about 15 lol,very nice example of a coach tho....that thing be bad with some side pipes glasspacks and some very metallic candy red flames on the black

MasterCard Gets a Rude Jolt
After MasterCard (MA on Feb. 9 announced a profit and rising numbers of transactions during the three months ended Dec. 31, the Purchase (N.Y.) company's stock price hit a new 52-week high. But it soon plummeted more than 11% as investors worried about the credit card company's ability to keep profits growing in 2007.
MasterCard's bank customers, which issue MasterCard credit cards, are consolidating into larger entities -- and with more bargaining power, they're able to negotiate lower rates from MasterCard(see BusinessWeek, 12/5/05, "When The Bill Comes Due").
The company has taken steps to change some of its pricing in recent months, such as a restructuring of cross-border transactions implemented in April 2006. This year MasterCard has "no significant pricing increase plan," CFO Chris McWilton said in a conference call. As a result, the company could see "some pressure on margin" this year, he said, according to a report from Dow Jones Newswires.
The stock-price drop overshadowed some positive news for the company. It reported net income of $41 million during the quarter, including the impact of litigation settlements, compared to a loss of $53 million during the same period of 2005. "The pace at which we are driving commerce in markets around the world gains momentum," CEO Robert W. Selander said in a press release Feb. 9.
During the quarter, the company processed $532 billion on credit, charge and debit card transactions worldwide, nearly 14% more than the same period of 2005. Customers took 817 million new cards during the quarter - more than 12% year over year.
CEO Selander is reaping the benefits of investments in promotions like the "Priceless" marketing campaign. The company had spent heavily on advertising and marketing earlier this year to support the 2006 World Cup soccer event. Such expenses declined by 8.5% during the fourth quarter compared to the year ago period. But at the same time, as people move away from paper money to the convenience of electronic payments and plastic, MasterCard's sales are rising and its revenues rose 17.2% year over year to $839 million during the fourth quarter.
It's not all rosy. Mastercard faces hundreds of millions in legal fees, as it battles consumers, regulators, and merchants worldwide over issues ranging from data security breaches to processing fees. The company only had to pay $1.7 million in litigation settlements during the fourth quarter, compared to nearly $27 million during the same period of 2005. That doesn't mean the litigation hangover is over. "Litigation expenses are lumpy and unpredictable," Morningstar analyst Ryan Batchelor said.
The company's share price surged to a new high of the year of $118.07 per share on Feb. 9, but plummeted back down by more than 11% in early afternoon trading to $102.06 per share on the New York Stock Exchange. MasterCard's stock price has rocketed from around $40 per share in May 2006, when the company went public.
"Having invested significantly in our global brand and payments network over the past 40 years, we enter our fifth decade with a leveragable infrastructure that will allow us to provide cutting-edge payment solutions for our financial institution customers as well as merchants, consumers, corporations and governments who are increasingly turning to the convenience and security of electronic payments," Selander said in the press release. "We expect this will enable us to continue to drive value for our shareholders."
MasterCard is planning to pay out a cash dividend of 15 cents per share, 66.7% more than the prior level, on May 10.

Convection ovens remain popular pieces of cooking equipment because of their versatility. These units can bake, rethermalize and roast large quantities of food product. These units use fans to circulate heated air around a cooking cavity.
Available in either a gas or electric format, a single convection oven can take up as little as 10 square feet and operators can choose to double stack them.
Convection ovens come in 3 standard sizes, including full, which means cavity dimensions can accommodate 5 or more standard 18-inch by 26-inch sheet pans; bakery depth, which can hold a standard sheet pan in either direction; and half-size, which has a cavity that holds a half-size sheet pan.
Full-size convection ovens can come with single or double doors. Double-door ovens are available in two formats: independent, with doors opening separately; and dependent, where both doors open and close simultaneously. Programmable controls allow staffers to pick pre-set time and temperature menu settings, utilize cook-and-hold features and utilize individual rack timing features.
Fully insulated synchronized doors, which open together, may feature cool-to-the-touch handles. Other standard features include stainless steel door seals; double-pane thermal glass windows; two-speed fans with high and low settings; interior lights; porcelain interiors with multiposition, removable rack guides; and mechanical dial controls, including cool-down functions and continuous ring timers.
Ovens are fairly simple machines, and it is not unusual for a well-maintained oven to last 20 years as long as replacement parts are available. Here are three signs it might be time to replace a convection oven.
