The Board of Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd at its meeting held on January 28, 2008, inter alia, approved the launch of a financial daily and has appointed Shubhrangshu Roy as Chief Operating Officer (COO) for the daily.
The company also announced a joint venture of its subsidiary Sieger Solutions with GroupM (a WPP company) to explore and create synergies in the space of sports and event management. The development assumes significance in the context of Deccan Chronicle recently winning the bid for the Hyderabad team of BCCI's Indian Premier League.
The Hyderabad-based group publishes Andhra Pradesh's leading English daily, Deccan Chronicle, which has also made its presence felt in Chennai in the last few years.
Speaking with exchange4media, P K Iyer, Managing Director, Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd, said, "The Board has taken a decision. We will go through the mathematics and let you know once things are finalised."
The Board also approved the appointment of Mohit Mohan as CEO of Odyssey India Ltd, the Group's retail venture. Prior to joining Odyssey, he was Head-Operations at WalMart International.
Meanwhile, Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd reported a net profit of Rs 102.94 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, a jump of 113 per cent as against Rs 48.44 crore posted in the same period of last fiscal. Net sales for the quarter grew by 48 per cent to Rs 216.20 crore as compared to Rs 146.39 crore in the year ago period. Net sales for nine months stood at Rs 577.32 crore, a growth of 42 per cent, as compared to Rs 405.23 crore posted in the same period last year. Net profit was at Rs 269.29 crore, a jump of 98 per cent as against Rs 135.98 crore posted in the same period of last fiscal, it said.
The company also informed the Bombay Stock Exchange on January 28, 2008 that it had received a certificate from ABC (Audit Bureau of Circulation) for having reached average net paid sales of over one million copies per day for the period July-December, 2007.

Yahoo and Alibaba, a Difficult Seven Years
Yahoo Inc. has finally come to a deal over its stake in Alibaba Group, signaling a resolution of an at times difficult seven year-long relationship between the two Internet companies.
"This transaction opens a new chapter in our relationship with Yahoo," said Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, in a statement. "I look forward to working with Ross Levinsohn (interim chief executive of Yahoo) and the Yahoo team as Alibaba builds China's leading e-commerce company."
Ever since former Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz was ousted last September, Yahoo investors, battered by an unending string of bad news, have been hoping that the company can at least come to an agreement with Alibaba.

Snapchat pens multi-year deal with NBCUniversal for original shows
NBCUniversal has penned a multi-year deal with Snapchat that will have it creating new shows of one sort or another for the messaging app. These original shows will in some way hinge on NBCU's more popular shows like SNL and The Tonight Show, but it isn't clear at this point exactly what form these shows will take. We do know, however, that the show "The Voice on Snapchat" will be the first to premiere.

How do you decorate a teen girls bedroom easily? WITH FABULOUS BEDDING
The color combination of orange and hot pink says your teenager is bold. The style of the bed set either in twin, full, queen or daybed size says she is sophisticated and chic.
The diamond pattern on this coverlet bed set is moderns and clean and yet the colors are very vibrant. The kids dust skirt is embellished with rhinestones to keep the fun and playful look. The girls bedding euro and standard shams are large to make the big statement and the beaded and embellished decorative pillows are just gorgeous.
Once you have a beddings set for teen girls like this in place you then can choose your bedroom furniture. Something simple so the beds set really stands out and becomes the art in the room.
Hanging lamps for this room would be great on either side of the bed and maybe a simple desk would finish the newly decorated room off just perfectly.

Hayden Panettiere's New Implants Tried To Be Christina Aguilera
I try to be nice to Hayden Panettiere. Mostly because she went through some shit recently, but also because of all those years I spent harboring a Hilary Duff-level crush on her thanks to the first season of Heroes when she was totally over the age of 18 (Nobody Google that.), and the hundreds of jokes I made about Wladimir Klitschko's giant penis murdering her mid-coitus. Seriously, though, how does she fit on it? How does she fit on it? Anyway, that said, here she is doing a horrible Christina Aguilera impression, which I wouldn't blame on Hayden Panettiere as much as whoever dressed her and said, "Oh, by the way, when Xtina performs she has a pine cone up her anus. Try and capture that."

Create a Ning Network!
FrontlineSMS let users send, receive and manage SMS over a mobile network.
While working on the Android port of FrontlineSMS, I currently come across the question, what the limits for SMS delivery are (per hour and per day) - and when you would need to consider a bulk service like IntelliSMS. It affects the way the software needs to be designed, and we might need to put a delay between each SMS in order not to hit the limit too fast.
The Android platform itself limits…

2011/8/6 TAK, RUDRA (ATTSI) <firstname.lastname@example.com>: > Recently we upgraded to tomcat6.0.32 and Oracle 11R1 G. We have Apache vs 1.3.41 and OS AIX5.3.

"Johnson's Boucaniere in LaFayette, LA"
You need to check out Johnson's Boucaniere in lafayette, la. This restaurant is a hometown favorite cooking Classic barbecue with a cajun twist. They offer plate lunches, which is a staple in south louisiana, but they do it better than the rest. They also have po-boys, boudin and bread pudding. This is real cajun food, not the stuff you see in New Orleans.

Siobhan McKelvey from Nynas was elected President of Eurobitume at the European Bitumen Association's recent EGM in Brussels.
Siobhan McKelvey was elected President at the European Bitumen Association's recent EGM in Brussels, where José Luis Prieto Menéndez from Cepsa was appointed Vice President and Markus Spiegl from OMV was elected Treasurer.
- A lot of hard work over the last year has achieved great steps forward for the development of Eurobitume. One of my key priorities is to continue to build on this strong foundation, support the full implementation of the new organisation and demonstrate the additional value it will offer, says Siobhan McKelvey.
Siobhan, previously Eurobitume Vice President, took over from Carl Robertus, who stepped down at the EGM having made a very valuable contribution in support of the development of Eurobitume's organisation and membership.
In their new positions, Siobhan, Jose Luis and Markus will champion the efficient, effective and safe use of refined bitumen in road, industrial and building applications throughout Europe on behalf of Eurobitume members. They will also help drive the continued integration of Eurobitume, creating an even more efficient and effective association, with a stronger voice, to represent the interests of members.
Eurobitume President Siobhan McKelvey is Marketing Director for Nynas Bitumen, sits on the Organising Committee for the 6th International Eurasphalt & Eurobitume Congress (which takes place in Prague on 1-3 June 2016) and has also chaired Eurobitume's PR & Communications Committee since 2006.
Long-term work continues to create an effective safety culture in connection with the handling of bitumen at depots and asphalt plants. Both investment and training are required in order to achieve success.Read more about Safety always the top priority
To keep up with the demands of Formula 1, the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria was resurfaced with Nypol 65.Read more about Pole position in Austria
This year Nynas began producing and delivering bitumen from its newest refinery, which will allow Nynas to maintain high supply reliability and consistency for customers.Read more about Harburg in action

The Rise of the Virtual Assistant
May 27th
Posted by Liz James in Guest post
Many small business owners and start-ups struggle to grow their business because they try to do too much. As business owners you seem to need superhero-like qualities to stay on top of your game, but it can be impossible to do everything – no matter how amazing you are. Outsourcing and working with a Virtual Assistant (VA) can allow you to leverage your time, become more productive, get organised and let you focus on your core business.
In broad terms, Virtual Assistants consist of either individuals or companies who work remotely as independent professionals, and use technology to deliver a wide range of products and services to clients. They've been around as a service for quite a while, but have only recently found a broad title for their services.

GAAD lightning talks on tech, empathy and social inclusion
May 2nd
Posted by Sarah Pulis in Autumn
We're seeing an increased interest in the subject of empathy in design, and it's about time. As creators of things that other people have to use, it's always a good idea to be able to understand what people do, and how they do it.
This coming 9 May (Thursday) is Global Accessibility Awareness Day. Events are being organised organically in each city to mark the day, and Sydney has something special lined up for us to flex our empathy muscles.
So this coming 9 May, come to an evening of lightning talks at A11yBytes – a11y being the shorthand for "accessibility" (11 characters between a and y), and bytes because – ok, ok… You get it. It's a community event focused on raising the profile of digital accessibility.
A11Y Bytes. 9 May. 7 lightning talks. 6 pm. Mr B's Hotel at 396 Pitt St.
There's a great line-up of diverse and mind-widening lightning talks around social inclusion, technology use, gamestoring and more. This isn't just for web geeks – it's for anyone who wants to learn what accessibility means in this day and age, and how systems and technology can affect and enhance life. The heart of accessibility is not about guidelines or codes or regulations. It's about people, and life, and how we live, how we access information, and how our lives are affected by the technologies of today.
So what are you doing on 9 May? Grab your free ticket to A11yBytes, bring a friend, and come learn something new over a beer or two, and flex those empathy muscles!

The first webBlastSYD membership survey
Apr 9th
Posted by wheelyweb in Membership
webBlastSYD has always tried to be about you, the web-working community in Sydney. Since we went quarterly in 2009 we never undertook a formal survey of you all, until now, that is.
Please take 3-5 minutes and take our survey to help us give you more of what you like from webBlastSYD.
As an incentive, EngineRoom Chippendale the co-working space for digital services, is offering two free weeks on the Shared Casual community desk, worth $100, to everyone completing the survey. For a few moments of your time, you'll have the opportunity to discover the value of co-working for yourself.
It is important to us that webBlastSYD reflects the evolving membership. Please tell us a little about yourself, what you think about the event, and what you'd like to see at future events.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Vimily talks to you at webBlastSYD
Apr 2nd
At the last webBlastSYD, in the gorgeous Pumphouse, Darling Harbour a few crack interviewers from Vimily came along to ask a few questions and demo their innovative technology to record, edit and distribute interviews and vox-pops quickly and efficiently.
Each person was asked 5 questions, and each question was automatically separated out into 20-30 second video clips and published on the Vimily site. The amazing thing was that everyone knew they were there, recording, but they created no interference to the event, surreptitiously taking part in and encouraging the discussions on the floor but not disturbing the vibe of the evening.
if you're interested, talk to Katrin after you've had a look at the vids to see if they'll work for your event.

webBlast Sydney, December 2012
Nov 27th
Posted by wheelyweb in Christmas
WebBlast will be on again at the Pumphouse Bar in Darling Harbour on the 13th of December and we invite you to come and drink to family, health, friends, and spirit in an evening of networking and casual conversation. If you happen to bounce around some work conversation too – you are surely a skilled juggler!
Thanks once again to our brilliant sponsor Campaign Monitor, and welcome to our new sponsors Acquia, LaVolta, and Virtual Offis all of whom will be providing drinks and refreshments on the night.
We've got a policy of one ticket per registration. Let us know via email, Twitter, or telepathy if you can't make it and we can free up your unneeded ticket.
"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit … and you're keeping all of these in the air.
"You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit – are made of glass… You must understand that and strive for Balance in your life."
– Brian G. Dyson (c. 1991)
webblast Autumn 2012
May 11th
We're just getting the sponsors to sign on the dotted line and planning the ticket release for early next week, hopefully on Thursday May 16. But of course you've already blocked off May 31st in your calendar, right?
We thought you'd like to know that the last webBlastSYD was a top Sydney Twitter trend that night. Considering the Foo Fighters were in town and it was the anniversary of John Lennon's assassination (and we all remember who he's "bigger than") I think that was very special of you all to keep mentioning us. Thank you.
The next morning, we were still in the top ten Trends in Sydney, which was full of you all reporting great times and sore heads and excellent post-#webBlastSYD dinners. I'm still waiting to hear about babies conceived on the night but maybe that's asking too much!
Look forward to new sponsors, new activities and hopefully, a fresh stack of embarrassing photos tagged in flickr!
See you there!

Spring into webBlastSYD
Sep 5th
The venue sorted, the sponsors lined up, the eventbrite listing almost ready to go and the mail-out poised for release. Full details to be published shortly but the tickets will become available on Wednesday Sept 7, midday, or thereabouts.
If you're not already on the mailing list you might want to make sure you get on the list as the tickets for this upcoming webBlast, the webBlastSYD September 2011 edition is just around the corner. Sponsored by Campaign Monitor, Happener, Microsoft and Stamford Interactive the spring 2011 edition will be a very warming affair, in part from the drinks and nibbles the sponsors help with but also the fantastic atmosphere created by the attendees. J J Halans has some excellent pics from the previous webBlastSYD in June in case you want to spot yourself in the crowd.
Everyone is talking mobile this year, and while we've been noticing the huge wave of mobile activity for quite some time, it seems the field is quite mature now and the depth of understanding growing. The number of people I'm talking to who are involved in mobile projects has grown rapidly this past year, and I'm sure will continue to take up more of our attention as we get to the end of the year. Interestingly, the number of mobile sites and apps attracting ire has reduced, as more people learn to understand how to construct an experience that makes sense for people using the internet on the go.
All our sponsors this month are very interested in your mobile projects, and your opinions on their mobile projects, so be sure to bring your devices and betas to the party to share and get feedback.Oh and of course the back-channel at @webblastSYD, #webBlastSYD is always open to pre-, during- and post-event discussions as well.
See you there!
Just one more thing…
Oh, and speaking of mobile, one more thing, in the inimitable fashion popularised by Mr Jobs.
As some of you may know, I'm rather keen on two wheeled travel. I decided to put my wheels on the line and join up with 99 other people and raise funds for the very worthwhile organisation, The Black Dog Institute, who are in constant need of financial support due tho the current Australian government's completely lacklustre investment in mental health. Full details on how to donate are on my own fund-raising site
To fundraise, I'll be donning lycra and polyester and riding from Sydney to Dubbo, over The Black Mountains.That is 420kM, over three days, over a mountain. Day one: up a mountain, day two: further up the frikkin' mountain, then over the other side, Day three: no more MoFo mountains thank you, but 115k still to go…. The full details of the route can be found on the organiser's site, zoo2zoo if you're interested.
The Black Dog Institute is an educational, research, clinical and community-oriented facility offering specialist expertise in mood disorders – a range of disorders that include depression and bipolar disorder (formerly called 'manic depression'). The Institute is attached to the Prince of Wales Hospital and affiliated with the University of New South Wales.
Therefore I'll be asking you to consider supporting my efforts and donate generously to the ride, in order to help the 50% of Australians directly affected by depression and mental health issues.
A wonderful time was had by all

Focus Quickly Shifts From Managing Mobile Devices To Managing Apps And Data
August 8, 2011
Why Read This Report
The managed mobile environment services market is about to go through a fundamental change. Currently, traditional providers focus on managing the device and its security.

To account for this shift, we revised and increased our prediction for the size of the mobile device management market in 2015 from $3.9 billion to $6.6 billion.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Will i be receiving a civil demand? They took my information, i am banned from the store, but the LP said i may or may not receive a letter based on the dollar amount. I will pay civil demand if received, but the question is will i get one?
It is up to the store. You can't worry about the unknowns. A civil damand letter is an attempt by the store to extort you for money to pay for their loss prevention procedure. Just let it go for now and if you receive a letter then decide. There is no way to predict how aggressive a grocery store will be.Ask a similar question
In Indiana, there is precedent for stores to send civil restitution letters for restocking fees. However, as indicated by another attorney, do not fret over when the demand my possible occur. If received, consult with an attorney to avoid and 5th Amendment implications nd make decisions based upon your attorney's advice.Ask a similar question
I don't think anyone here can tell you if you will actually get one. I generally advise clients to ignore these civil demand letters. You don't owe them anything. In order for you to owe them something they would have to sue you, (in some jurisdictions prove damages which they most likely couldn't do), and win. Even if they could win, the cost of pursuing this is substantially greater than any amount they can possibly recover so they usually don't. They send out these letters because it doesn't cost much and they are hoping that you don't know better and simply send them the money. Nothing will happen to you if you don't pay it.

Finding urban sophistication and comfort cooking in the same
spot is no easy feat, but sometimes that's just what a family needs
to keep everyone satisfied. It's also the goal of Jared Case,
Tribute's new executive chef and the father of a new baby.
"Right after getting this job, my family took a driving tour
through the south and was inspired by the down-home cooking," he
He aims to combine these authentic flavors with the elegance and
sensibility of the restaurant's Michigan Avenue location. The
deliciously rich "Lobster Mac n Cheese" is one example of that
We also enjoyed tangy "Dry Rub Ribs," "Pete's Fried Chicken" and
"Shrimp & Grits." While these dishes may not sound elegant,
their beauty is found in the details. Perfectly crisp lettuce
accompanies the ribs to balance their spicy kick. (My 9-year-old is
still raving about those.) In my "Shrimp & Grits," I found
peeled grape tomatoes, which added a nice touch of acidity.
Admittedly, the Essex Hotel restaurant may not seem an obvious
family destination. But with brunch, lunch and dinner options and a
very reasonably priced children's menu, Tribute makes for a fun and
fancy day or evening out.
We all appreciated the sleek setting and beautiful views. My
sons were impressed by the selection of Filbert's sodas. And
afterward, with full stomachs, we walked through Grant Park.

In the first day of a long-awaited legal battle, the banks insisted they have the right to charge the fees that can be as high as £38 even if a customer has slipped only a few pence into the red.
Campaigners claim the actual cost to the bank is as little as £2.50.
Experts estimate that banks make about £3.5billion a year from unauthorised overdraft fees.
The case, which follows a two-year Daily Mail "Fair Play on Charges" campaign, could force banks to pay billions of pounds in compensation.
An army of 60 legal advisers representing seven banks - Abbey National, Barclays, Clydesdale, HBOS, HSBC, Lloyds TSB and the Royal Bank of Scotland - and the Nationwide building society were in court yesterday for what has been described as the biggest commercial legal case for more than 20 years.
Laurence Rabinowitz QC, for Royal Bank of Scotland, told the court that the outcome is "eagerly awaited up and down the country".
Customers have launched a 'torrent of claims' against banks following a "deluge of complaints" about charges, Mr Rabinowitz told the court.
The Office of Fair Trading, representing consumers, claims that the overdraft charges are unlawful and too high.
The case is about whether unauthorised overdraft fees are subject to the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations.
The banks argue that customers agree to overdraft conditions, including charges, when they open an account.
They deny accusations that the conditions are not written in "plain, intelligible" language.
Mr Rabinowitz argued the OFT was partly responsible for the consumer revolt after "ill-informed" comments made following an earlier ruling about credit card charges.
He told Mr Justice Andrew Smith: "A hornet's nest had been disturbed and something had to be done."
The case was sparked by an extraordinary consumer backlash against bank charges.
Millions of people have won back thousands of pounds from their banks after complaining about excessive charges.
But many other complaints have been put on hold for almost a year pending the outcome of this crucial case.
Experts warned that if banks are forced to scrap, or reduce, their fees, they will try to make money in different ways from their customers.
This is most likely to include axeing 'free' current accounts.
If they lose, it is almost certain that the banks will appeal.
Marc Gander, of campaign website Consumer Action Group, said: "This is just the first part in what could be a very long process."
The hearing, at the International Dispute Resolution Centre in Central London, is expected to last three weeks.

Full-Service IMb made mandatory Jan. 2014
June 5, 2013
NNA objections led to some concessions
By Max Heath
Postal Tips
The Postal Service plowed ahead, no doubt running over some small mailers, in deciding to implement the mandatory "Full-Service" Intelligent Mail Barcode, effective Jan. 26, 2014, when the next postage price increases are to happen.
The National Newspaper Association fought hard to resist the mandatory IMb in order to get Automation Barcode discounts. In the end, we got some concessions. But USPS was on a mission to implement this project, mostly for its own internal benefit, over the objections of newspapers and small mailing shops and their customers.
The key takeaway from NNA's success in pushing back, though, was contained in NNA's news release to members April 16. Here are the improvements:
Mailings of fewer than 10,000 copies per issue will not need to comply with the requirement to assign individually unique piece numbers in the barcode to every copy in the mailing. Instead, software can assign just one "serial" number, used for each piece in the entire mailing.
Mailings of fewer than 10,000 copies per issue may submit their postage statement through the Postal Wizard at the Business Customer Gateway into PostalOne! (the USPS business mail accounting system).
That said, NNA still believes that software vendors should provide Mail.XML or Mail.dat programming to allow electronic transmission of the postage statement and USPS Qualification Report. Mail.dat is uploaded using a tool provided by USPS, whereas Mail.XML is sent directly to PostalOne! from your software. Either saves lots of time and minimizes errors that may come back to haunt the newspaper.
For newspapers that print other newspapers, the identification of the "mail owner" (read "newspaper") will not be required when mailing fewer than 5,000 pieces. It's not clear how much advantage this is for newspapers and their printers, though it continues to be a requirement for mail-sorting outfits that handle bulk mail for others—and could affect a newspaper that uses a sorting bureau for non-periodicals mail
The benefits of IMb are mostly to the Postal Service, which will use it to measure service success. USPS also says the IMb will enable it to claim efficiencies by understanding where the mail is in the pipeline. But with its currently rigid staffing rules, it isn't clear how those efficiencies will materialize.
For the mailers, NNA is still dubious that the benefits will match the costs of implementation for many newspapers. But there are some benefits of the Full-Service IMb that we must share:
• Primary will be free electronic address change service that will allow newspapers to avoid multiple yellow-tagged hardcopy address changes for the same address at 55 cents per copy (though the DMM allows a refund on all but one if properly presented).
• Tracking of delivery. This will be of value—over time—mainly for distant addresses where problems have been hard to solve for many years. USPS wants to use Full-Service IMb to track mail through the system as a diagnostic tool to allow it to solve problems.
There are two problems with both of these: The mailer has to bear the expense of the new tracking system by buying or upgrading software, and newspapers must really be scanned on flat-sorting equipment for USPS to be able to give back that delivery tracking. But most newspapers are not sorted by machine, so the possible "hit" from the scan will elude us for some time to come.
NNA is hopeful that container scans may be useful in reading tray numbers assigned by software to show when the sack or tray (preferably) was handled at a specific processing plant closest to the recipient.
One dubious benefit offered by USPS last year in response to continuing mailer objections to costs of implementing Full-Service IMb is a so-called "tech credit" to be refunded to mailers PostalOne! accounts when properly-prepared mailings reach a certain level.
The credit is offered from June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014 and is termed a "promotion." It would offer:
• $2,000 postage credit for mailers of 125,001-500,000 "qualifying" pieces from Oct. 1, 2011, through Sept. 30, 2012 (the last postal fiscal year).
• $3,000 credit for 500,000-2,000,000 qualifying pieces.
• $5,000 credit for more than 2 million qualifying pieces.
Mailers who qualify to receive the tech credit will receive a notification letter from the Postal Service.
The problem is that many community newspapers, especially weeklies, mail fewer than 125,000 pieces over 12 months, (a little more than 2,400 copies per issue). NNA has requested the addition of a new, lower threshold of $1,000 credit for mailers of 62,500 to 125,000 pieces.
USPS Marketing, which is handling the "promotion," was not initially open to that, saying the filing of this request at the Postal Regulatory Commission will not be resubmitted. NNA is continuing to push for the addition.
The tech credit request has taken on a life of its own, with mailer opposition since it was presented in its PRC filing as a plan to take the money away in the next rate filing by raising the "market dominant" rates over the price cap. The PRC may not approve the credits.
Newspapers must depend on their software vendors to figure out how to meet the minimum requirements at lowest possible cost. Talk to your vendor immediately about its progress on meeting these requirements. NNA is strongly encouraging vendors to provide Mail.XML to send mailing info electronically, rather than having publishers forced to do laborious manual entry into the Postal Wizard.
That depends. Because carrier-routed mail, especially when entered at the office of delivery, gains no value from IMb, you have to compare loss of barcode savings on other pieces to the cost to implement, both initial and any ongoing cost.
It now appears that some software vendors will provide these services for no additional cost other than the annual charge for the software package. Whether that may require price hikes for the annual fees remains to be seen. But USPS is clearly trying to push the industry in this direction, so other mandates and embellishments are likely to be ahead.
Encourage your vendor to avoid wasting print time and ink on labels that are carrier-route sorted. Standard Mail shoppers, especially, are near 100 percent carrier-route mailings entered at DDU, thus the IMb provides no value.
Brad Hill, NNA's MTAC rep and president of Interlink software, will soon present a webinar via the Online Media Campus. Watch for info on that. Brad leads NNA's technical "interface" with USPS, and his work is responsible for most of the relaxation to proposed requirements made in the final announcement in April. He'll tailor the webinar to newspapers, whereas USPS information tends to be more generic or applicable to large mailers. © Max Heath 2013

The Final Report of the Committee along with the draft TAS represents a significant move towards providing a uniform basis for computation of...
The draft TAS will also remove one of the significant impediments to adoption of Ind AS
In order to bring greater clarity around computation of taxable income, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) constituted the Accounting Standard Committee (the Committee) in December 2010. The Ministry of Finance had subsequently issued a Discussion Paper on Tax Accounting Standards (TAS) on October 17, 2011 with draft recommendations by the Committee. The CBDT recently issued the final Committee report along with the drafts of 14 individual TASs for public comments.
The Final Report of the Committee along with the draft TAS represents a significant move towards providing a uniform basis for computation of taxable income. Many of the differences between the TAS and the Accounting Standards (AS) issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(ICAI) are intended to harmonise the basis for computation of taxable profits with the existing provisions of the Income-Tax Act 1961 (the Act). Companies would therefore have a comprehensive framework based on which adjustments may be made each year to their accounting profits to determine taxable income.
The draft TAS will also remove one of the significant impediments to adoption of Ind AS since the TASprovide an independent framework for computation of taxable income regardless of the accounting framework adopted by companies (Indian GAAP or Ind AS). The Committee has recommended that transition to Ind AS should be closely monitored and appropriate amendments relating to MinimumAlternate Tax (MAT) should be considered in the future based on these developments.
Given the complexity around accounting standards and the resulting tax implications, it can be extremely challenging for tax and finance professionals in the corporate sector to assess fully the implications of TAS.
KPMG in India is pleased to announce its "Full-daycourse on Draft Tax Accounting Standards (TAS)".The program is designed for tax and financial reporting teams to gain an in-depth understanding of requirements of the TAS and evaluate the practical issues that the teams will face in implementation of TAS.

Brain Control of Blinking

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to study how the brain controls movement of muscles in the face-in particular, those involved in eye blinking. TMS is a procedure that activates areas of the brain with magnetic pulses that travel through the scalp and the skull.
Healthy normal volunteers 21 years of age and older may be eligible for this study. They must be free of any serious medical illness, have no neurological or psychiatric disorders or history of seizures, and must not be taking any medications that can affect nervous system function.
Participants will undergo TMS and the electrical activity in muscles activated by the stimulation will be recorded. For TMS, an insulated wire coil is placed on the patient's scalp, and a brief electrical current is passed through the coil. This creates a magnetic pulse that travels through the scalp and skull and causes small electrical currents in the outer part of the brain. If the coil is placed over a nerve that controls muscles, there may be a twitch in the muscles, sometimes large enough to move the face. In other cases, there may be a feeling of movement or tingling sensation in the face. Stimulation over the muscles on the side of the head may cause some discomfort there or twitching of the jaw. During the stimulation, subjects may be asked to tense certain muscles slightly or perform other simple actions.
Electrical activity of the muscles activated by the stimulation is recorded. This is done with both metal electrodes taped to the skin over the muscle and with fine needle electrodes inserted into the muscles around the eyes.
The study usually takes less than 3 hours, with frequent breaks. If more time is required, the study will be broken into more than one session.
