This article will introduce you to the complexities of Point of Sale (POS) system prices and give some examples of the costs you can expect to pay for a POS system in various industries.
|How Much Does a POS System Cost?
|POS Costs by Industry
|POS Costs by Supplier
POS systems are used by all manner of businesses - and for a number of different reasons. Apart from their obvious financial processing capabilities, they can be used by merchants of all sizes to understand which products sell well and which don't, which sell together and the times when sales are typically made.
They can also be used for the implementation of loyalty programs and targeting customer advertising. Indeed, due to their sheer versatility, a POS system, regardless of cost, will initiate an immediate return on investment for any firm.
How Much Does a POS System Cost?
Depending on the functionality required, point of sale systems can very dramatically in price. You can get a very simple cash register for $100 or less, right up to $2,000 or more for a sophistaicated, technically advanced system. One thing to consider is whether you are simply purchasing the hardware (the cash register) or if you need payment software too.
Some companies offer deals that allow you to purchase the machinery for a reduced price if you pay to use their software at a monthly cost. These monthly subscriptions can range from $40 per month to hundreds of dollars per month depending on the level of service and quality of software offered.
How Much Does a POS System Cost in Different Industries?
The table above shows some of the typical costs you could expect to pay for POS systems in different industries. These are just example costs and the actual amount will be dependent on your business's size, location and requirements.
For a more in-depth look into the average POS costs for each of these industries, see the sections below.
Restaurant POS Systems
Restaurants have unique needs, which means a standard POS system will not be suitable. A restaurant POS, on the other hand, is geared up to meet the needs of the environment it is designed to serve, with features such as table management, customized ordering, inventory management, automated ordering and customer loyalty services. These systems are also designed for ease of use so customers are served more efficiently.
Prices for a restaurant POS system can start from around $700. A typical low cost example is the Vend Premium which includes; POS software, a complete hardware bundle, PayPal card readers, thermal receipt printer, cash drawer and drawer mount.
Alternatively, at the top end of the market is the BCI Restaurant/Bar POS which includes a touchscreen POS X computer, receipt and kitchen printer, Aldelo Pro software and a cash drawer. Prices for this system start from $2,600.
Grocery POS Systems
Grocery POS systems are designed to handle large numbers of customers quickly and efficiently. As well as ringing up sales, grocery store systems can also help you keep track of your inventory, understand best and worst sellers, automate purchase orders and accept gift cards.
At the top end of the market is the BCI Grocery Premium Plus which retails for around $4,000. Features available on this model include; a 19 inch monitor, Inuit POS software, scanner, pole display, credit card reader and receipt printer.
For businesses looking for a budget option, the ShopKeep POS Basic is one to consider. This is an entry level POS system with iPad compatibility which allows users to take payment and monitor inventory levels. However, as with many of the cheaper systems, there is a monthly software subscription fee of $49 per month.
Salon POS Systems
Salon POS systems are designed to meet the needs of business owners through the inclusion of appointment management, employee time tracking, customer account management and inventory tracking.
One of the most popular models designed specifically for salons is the Stylist in a Box Point of Sale which includes; 18 inch monitor, HP hardware, MSR, barcode scanner, cash drawer and MIKAL salon software. This model retails for around $3,300 for a single terminal system.
On the other end of the scale a system like Rosy's cloud POS for salons and spas starts at just $29 per month for one user.
Bar POS Systems
POS systems for bars include credit card processing, inventory tracking and age verification tools.
The Bar Standard POS system from BCI costs around $2,300 and includes Aldelo Pro software, credit card reader, touchscreen, POS-X computer, thermal receipt printer and cash drawer.
Alternatively, the PayPal Standard POS system costs around $550 for a basic terminal and card reader.
iPad POS Systems
POS systems are no longer exclusively designed to support Windows based systems. There are now a number of iPad compatible systems such as the NCR Silver. To find out more about using an iPad as a POS System, please visit our dedicated iPad page.
Costs for this model start from $500 for the hardware which includes; a swivel stand for the iPad, cash drawer, credit card reader, and counter-top receipt printer. The company then charges $79 to register your device and 10 cents per transaction (to a monthly maximum of $29). This monthly fee provides access to live support seven days a week. New customers can sign up to a free 30 day no obligation trial to see if it suits their needs.
There are many suppliers of POS systems across the US, some local and some nationwide. Here are a few of the best suppliers for you to consider:
UNTILL's sophisticated POS systems incorporate many different features including; a messaging system, multilingual options so you can switch between English and any other language, differentiated menu options, historical data archive, time and attendance monitoring, chair ordering options, VIP accounts, pre-fix menu control, drive through and loyalty points.
With operation made easy via intuitive, touchscreen monitors, prices for their systems will depend on exactly what features you require, but generally start from around $1,800.
All MICROS systems include integrated back and front office to allow for improved customer service and optimized workflow. Other available features include wireless handheld devices, touchscreen monitors, alert manager, kitchen display system, digital signage, menu boards, customer waiting list display, customer pager, reservation management and table reporting.
Prices vary according to which system you choose, but basic MICROS POS systems start from under $2,000.
Retail Data Systems
Retail Data Systems (RDS) are the largest suppliers of POS systems in North America.Retail Data Systems cover all of the types of businesses mentioned above. All systems are highly customizable which will come as a great advantage to clients looking to meet the exact needs of their individual business.
Retail Data's POS systems start from around $2,000 although it is also possible to rent some machines which may help reduce the impact on your company's cash flow.

A recent interview with a bunch of drivers proved what we all knew already: while not every country music fan loves racing, nearly every NASCAR fan loves them some good 'ol country music! And it seems to be that Montgomery Gentry has a strong corner in NASCAR!
Talking to a handful of drivers in Bridgeport, US99's Jonathan West got them to open up about their musical tastes and what's on their radio right now. Turns out that country music is most of what's playing for these racing stars!
While Kevin Harvick says that he's loving Jake Owen's newest release, Carl Edwards digs the Avett Brothers' folky tunes, and Matt Keneseth is stuck with whatever his kids are jamming out to - there was one driver who declared his love for country music and, specifically, Montgomery Gentry!
Kurt Busch confessed that he's a huge country fan and gushed that he got to introduce his favorite fellas from Montgomery Gentry on stage once!
His other favorite country acts include Garth Brooks, George Strait, and Brooks & Dunn - but Busch isn't the only one that loves Eddie and Troy's boot-stompin' jams.
Back in 2010, NASCAR champion Bobby Labonte chose Montgomery Gentry's hit song "What Do Ya Think About That" as his pre-race introduction song. Talk about an honor!
Check out this duo's kick-ass performance during this year's Country 500 at Daytona in the video below!

My mum died nearly 6 years ago at the age of 75. She went down hill slowly with old age from 65 with she had a bleed in the brain. Our family was not the closest and I did struggle with looking after her and the awful attitude of my family at this time but I do not regret a thing as I did try to help but I did used to get upset I do wish I was stronger and could have done more. I feel like I have lost all my strength to go through life, I am not strong anymore, I struggle to be happy my smile has gone. I am not this confident person anymore I am a shell of my former self, that happy person is no longer in me. I struggle to talk sometimes as I don't find anything funny anymore,. People think I am ok as I hide it well but I am just on a wheel waiting for my death day as I don't think anything will ever make me smile again.. I am not me, I don't know who I am now , just this older woman who is looking sadder every year. I am making changes in my life and I still carry on but I don't feel like it , there is no smile on my face while doing it.
Life is such a struggle without the person that you knew was always always there for you. Would invite you round for dinner sometimes or if you just needed to feel you needed to be with your mum . You did not know it at the time how very much you would miss everything about your mum, to the little and big things she did for you.
You now know of your mothers love which was such a familiar presence and such a strong bond that you only know now how much it comforted you now that it is not here.
I still can't believe that it has been years since she has gone , she is constantly on my mind even if it is to say I still love you mum or how am I doing . You do still have chats and ask their opinion on anything and everything and you hope that you are still making her proud.

Glad we pulled out the win. I didn't think we were ever going to score. I stopped watching midway through the second. I ended up just switching between Boston vs New York and Florida vs Pitt. Much more exciting. I'm starting to lose passion for this team. It is kind of sad but when so much good hockey is being played elsewhere I can't sit by and watch these sleepers. I keep thinking, maybe I just need to find myself a new team. But then I feel like I've invested so much time in loving the Wild unconditionally that I can't just leave, but watching their games just makes me angry. With the way they have been playing I think I just need a break from watching the team so I can come back again later on and enjoy them again without nitpicking all the crappy things going on. These games have way too much of an effect on my mood than I want them to.

Breaded Lamb Cutlets,
Recipe by The Flying Chef
Crispy coated lamb cutlets, another of those quick easy recipes that taste good without a lot of effort. Just a simple mid week meal for the family.
Top Review by Diana 2
5 Stars all the way! First, I wasn't able to get lamb, so I used chicken breasts that I pounded into cutlets. The flavour in the breading is fantastic and the aroma while it was frying makes your mouth water. Did I mention how moist the meat was? Thanks Flying Chef, for another wonderful recipe. Made for the 12 Days of Christmas Recipe Swap.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 12 lamb cutlets
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, flakes (Japanese breadcrumbs you can use regular crumbs. I just love these as they come out more crisp than )
- 1⁄2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped fine
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped fine
- 2 eggs, beaten lightly
- flour
- olive oil
Directions See How It's Made
- Trim off any excess fat from each cutlet, flatten slightly with a meat mallet.
- Combine breadcrumbs, parsley, basil and cheese. Coat cutlets in flour dip into egg then coat completely in breadcrumb mixture.
- Lay cutlets flat on a tray or plate in a single layer, place in refrigerator for 10 Min's this makes them easier to handle.
- Heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in fry pan add lamb ( you may need to use a couple of pans) Cook until browned on both sides turn the heat down and continue cooking until cooked as desired, turning occasionally, I do this instead of finishing in the oven as the coating tends to lose its crispiness.
- I have allowed for three cutlets per person so make 16 if you want four per person.
- Serve with mash, roasted or boiled potato and vegetable.

My Research Philosophy
"I am passionate about the science, engineering and development of new materials for existing and emerging technologies in biomass utilization. It is immensely satisfying to address what I believe to be some of the world's most growing issues in the future which pertain to meeting global manufacturing and energy demands in a sustainable and green manner. The idea of creatively combining the utilization of NMR and research on renewable material conversion from the feedstock to application is particularly exciting and in my opinion provides an advantage with respect to other groups working on similar problems."

Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea
Last Modified:
Part of JZ1 Jazz
Additional artist to be announced
About This Performance
In 1978, jazz titans Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea toured together, playing alone as an acoustic piano duo. (Which surprised the music world at the peak of the jazz-rock fusion era; both were alums of seminal Miles Davis bands.) Both of them released double albums drawn from those live tour performances: Hancock's called An Evening with Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea: In Concert; Corea's titled CoreaHancock. The two haven't recorded together since, but they have reunited for acclaimed duo concert appearances.
Come for: The LA Phil's Creative Chair for Jazz Herbie Hancock shares the stage with fellow legend Chick Corea for an unforgettable night of improvisation and artistry.

Long-time Scrubs star Donald Faison is headed back to the TV world in a new series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Exes (which is the current working title) is about three divorced men who live together in an apartment across the hall from their divorce attorney. It also stars Wayne Knight, David Alan Basche and Kristen Johnston.
The Exes is one of two sitcoms green-lighted by the bosses at TV Land, a network primarily known for showing reruns. The other series is Happily Divorced, starring Fran Drescher, Tichina Arnold and Rita Moreno. "TV Land is committed to building a new home for situation comedies and we are ecstatic to build and expand on the success of our original scripted programming," said Larry W. Jones, president of TV Land. "Hot in Cleveland and Retired at 35 have proven to us that our audience is hungry for new sitcoms with relatable, experienced characters and smart, contemporary writing. We're looking forward to an amazing year working with all of this wonderful talent."

To travel or move fast: As for Godfrey's belting around in Air Force planes (1890s+)
I did not dare to keep the gun we had, but retained the revolvers in a belt around my waist.
He had kept his pistols dry and he rebuckled his belt around his waist.
The strange being had no gun, but a knife and tomahawk protruded from the belt around his waist.
He was wearin a gray suit with a belt around the middle an canvas leggins.
Those who cannot hitch the belt around themselves, are hissed, are pointed at with derision, and must pay a fine.
Fred had a belt around his waist filled with gold pieces, as well as a pocket full of change.
The chains worn by a prisoner were attached at one end to bands enclosing his ankles and at the other to a belt around his waist.
Powder-flask and pouch of tasty patterns; belt around the waist, with hunting-knife and pistols—revolvers.
A woman came up to him, and I saw him place the belt around the woman.
A belt around his waist contained about fifteen hundred dollars in bills and a small quantity of gold-dust.

1. Gradual reduction. This can be achieved through the famous Japanese practice of Kaizen, a practice of continuous improvement which was introduced to the world by Masaaki Imai in his book entitled Kaizen: The Key to Japan's Competitive Success.What matters is to resolve to change and to be serious about it. Imagine that you have been stricken with an illness whereby you have choice between kicking your habit or dying.
2. Abruptly giving up the addiction by a sheer force of will. This is the approach advocated by Dr. Alan Carr in The Easy Way to Stop Smoking?em>. He disagrees with the gradual approach to overcoming addiction, since he sees that each reduction causes a renewed and increased sensation of reward whenever you have a smoke, and this is counterproductive to success.

The Messe des pêcheurs de Villerville (Mass of the fishermen of Villerville) is a missa brevis written by Gabriel Fauré in collaboration with his former pupil André Messager. The composers worked together[1] on the mass in the summer of 1881.
The sections of the mass run as follows:
- Kyrie (Messager)
- Gloria Benedictus (Fauré)
- Sanctus (Fauré)
- O Salutaris (Messager)
- Agnus Dei (Fauré)
The first performance took place in Villerville on 4 September 1881 accompanied by a harmonium and a violin. The concert and was in aid of the fishermen's charitable association. Messager orchestrated the first four sections, and Fauré the last. A second performance, this time accompanied by orchestra, was given in Villerville the following year.
In 1907 Heugel & Cie published a version of the mass, removing Messager's sections, and incorporating a new Kyrie by Fauré; this version appeared under the title Messe basse.

NASCAR team reports as the Sprint Cup Series pays its second visit of the year to Richmond (Va.) International Raceway, site of the last race of the regular season:
Kyle Busch, No. 18 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing
This week: Busch takes a whopping 208-point lead over Carl Edwards into Saturday night's race at Richmond, but that huge lead will disappear after the race. That's because this is the cutoff for the Chase for the Championship, and the top 12 in points will be reset after the Richmond event. Busch will remain first at the start of the Chase because his series-leading eight victories will give him 80 bonus points. He is looking for his first Cup win at Richmond and became a key figure in the May race when he and Dale Earnhardt Jr. collided, ending his chances at the win. Busch finished second to Clint Bowyer in that race, one of his six top-five finishes (he has no other top-10s) in seven starts at the short track. He was 20th in this race last year. Busch was the first driver to clinch a spot in the Chase.
Last week: Busch finished seventh, just one spot behind his rival, Carl Edwards.
Etc.: Busch believes Jimmie Johnson will be a major threat in the Chase. "I've always been worried about Jimmie Johnson," Busch said. "I take him as being probably the best driver on the circuit. You never know what he can come up with during a race or what him and Chad (Knaus, crew chief for the 48 car) can come up with in their cars to make it fast. We know that (Earnhardt) Junior has been ultimately consistent all year long. He's kind of fallen behind the past few weeks, but that doesn't mean anything. He can get right back going to where he was running top-fives and top-10s ever week. Jimmie is going to be a guy that you're going to have to worry about. Even the 31 car (Jeff Burton) had a strong run in the beginning part of the year. I think so many top-15 finishes — that's what it's going to take to win the Chase. You just never know who's going to come up or what's going to come up or what kind of scenarios — who can go on a winning tangent or whatnot. There's everybody out there that you've got to worry about."
Carl Edwards, No. 99 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing
This week: Edwards has six wins entering Saturday night's 400-lapper in Virginia, but he gets bonus points for only five of his victories (50 points instead of 60). That's because he was docked the 10 bonus points after his Las Vegas win in March, when his car did not pass the postrace technical inspection, among other penalties for those infractions. Richmond is not one of Edwards' better tracks. He has no victories and no top-five finishes at Richmond but has three top-10s in eight starts. His best finish was sixth in his first race in 2004. He was seventh there in May and 42nd in this race last year because of engine failure. Edwards is already in the 12-driver lineup for the Chase. "I'm looking forward to going to Richmond, especially since we are locked into the Chase," he said. "There isn't much pressure going into Richmond this weekend, so my Office Depot team and I can go out there and just have fun. Richmond is a challenging track to drive but fun at the same time. The Office Depot team had a good run there in the spring and since then my team has made tons of improvements, so I am really confident going into Richmond."
Last week: Edwards is coming off a sixth-place finish.
Etc.: Edwards will drive RK-587. Its last outing was in August at Pocono, where Edwards drove it to victory. The car made its debut at Richmond in May, when Edwards finished seventh.
Jimmie Johnson, No. 48 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports
This week: Johnson may be 369 points out of first place, but he has 30 bonus points based on his three Cup wins this season. Johnson has won twice at Richmond — he swept the two races last year — and overall has three top-five finishes and no other top-10s in 13 starts there. He was 30th at Richmond in May. Johnson, like Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards, has clinched his spot in the Chase.
Last week: Johnson dominated Sunday night's race, leading 228 of the 250 laps in the race to score his third win of the season.
Etc.: Johnson was glad to get a win on a track 1½ miles or larger when he was able to get to victory lane at the two-mile Fontana, Calif., oval last weekend. "The weak spot for us has been the 1.5-mile and two-mile tracks, and the Chase is full of those tracks," Johnson said. "And our results at the start of the season and early summer, there were some flashes of hope in there, but we weren't where we needed to be. Just before Chicago there were a couple of races where we were competitive and running well. I think Michigan was really the first sign that we were working in the right direction. We've been getting better each week, and this car is still so finicky. The second Michigan we got a little more aggressive with the setup of the car thinking we could get away from it, and it turned away from us and was loose and got into bad position there. The last couple races for us have been odd tracks for us and crashing and all that stuff. I'm happy to win and win on a big track, because of the bulk of the races are on these big downforce tracks, and I feel like we're doing the right things to have a fighting chance at the championship. ... That's really all we can ask for."
Dale Earnhardt Jr., No. 88 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports
This week: Richmond is one of Earnhardt's best tracks — he has three wins, seven top-five finishes and nine top-10s in 18 starts. He was 15th in May after he was knocked off the track by Kyle Busch and was 30th in this race last year. Earnhardt has clinched a spot in the Chase. "We're going to take back our normal setup that we ran there last time and try to improve on it," Earnhardt said. "I feel really good about Richmond. We've had some great runs there. And I'm glad we made the Chase this year. A lot of people would have expected us to make it, but we didn't know when the season started. I want to thank everybody at Hendrick and all the employees that worked really hard to help us have a good enough year to make the Chase, and we'll try to improve a little bit and win some more races before it's over with and battle like hell for that championship."
Last week: Earnhardt was 11th at California.
Etc.: Earnhardt ripped the changes to the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona next February, where the top six cars for each manufacturer will make up the starting lineup and the race will be a longer event. "I don't know what the extra five laps are for," Earnhardt said. "What the heck? They don't get it, you know what I mean? They've messed up the Winston and the All-Star race, and they're messing up the Shootout. They ought to line us up and make us run 10 laps. (If) they want us to run around there for 25 laps first, like a 25-lap segment, that would be cool. But 10 laps to go, all or nothing. That's what the fans want. That's what the drivers want. That last segment being 50 laps, I mean, we're all just going to sit there for 30 (laps). I just don't get it. They don't get it. I don't understand. I don't know what the focus group is they're talking to to get these kind of formats. It's frustrating because I want to like those races. I don't want to dread them, and right now I'm dreading running them because the formats aren't fun."
Jeff Burton, No. 31 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing
This week: Burton drove to victory at Richmond in this race in 1998. It's his only victory in seven top-five finishes and 12 top-10s in 28 starts at his home state's top track. He was 11th in May and 18th in this race last year. Burton is the last driver who has officially clinched a spot in the Chase. "I just think for the teams, for the fans and for everybody that it takes to make this sport work, it's the best all-around track," Burton said. "Richmond has good racing action. It's big enough where it's not wreck after wreck, but small enough where it's close side-by-side action since you have multiple grooves. To me, it's a really hard race track to beat, competition-wise. I take a lot of pride in running well at Richmond. Being from Virginia, Richmond is where I went as a kid to watch Cup Series racing, and it's a special place for me to come back to."
Last week: Burton made his 500th Cup start Sunday night and finished 17th.
Etc.: As the Chase enters its fifth season, Burton has become a big fan of the format. "I think it creates excitement," he said. "It's about performing your best at the right time of year. It's about positioning yourself and getting it done when it counts, and that's who the champion is. I think it's the best and most exciting way to do it. If there's a way to make it more exciting, then I'm all for it. I'm a big proponent of the Chase, and I think it's the right thing to do."
Greg Biffle, No. 16 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing
This week: Biffle is looking for his first victory at Richmond, where he has two top-five finishes and five top-10s in 12 starts. He was 39th in this race last year after his car conked out because of transmission issues. He was 14th here in May. All Biffle has to do to make the Chase is start Saturday night's race. "Richmond is definitely a drivers' track," Biffle said. "I think that's one of the biggest reasons I have always liked it. It allows for really good racing, and the night race this weekend will be exciting for the fans no matter what. There are a few guys, including a couple of my teammates, who are still looking for a good finish this weekend to lock in a spot in the Chase, so if I'm in a position to help them out and not hurt the finish for the 3M team, I'd like to be able to do that. Otherwise, we're just going into this race like every other race with a goal of winning and going into the Chase with some more momentum."
Last week: Biffle beat Jimmie Johnson out of the pits late in the race but couldn't hold the position and finished second.
Etc.: Biffle will drive RK 566, a car that finished third at Dover in June. "We had a little brake trouble during the first race this season at Richmond, so we are taking every precaution to make sure that doesn't happen again," crew chief Greg Erwin said. "The company as a whole didn't have the best results at Richmond the last time, so we have spent a lot of hours testing both at race tracks and with the simulators to try to come up with a better setup. There are usually a lot of cautions at Richmond, so pit strategy and pit stops will both be major factors. This pit crew is on a roll right now, though, so I am completely confident in the effort they will put forth on Saturday night."
Kevin Harvick, No. 29 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing
This week: Harvick has one win (September 2006), four top-five finishes and nine top-10s at Richmond. He was eighth there in May and seventh in this race last year. Harvick needs only to fire his engine and start the race to clinch a berth in the Chase. "It's a good feeling," Harvick said. "It's a big deal for us. We struggled a little during the middle part of the season but have been able to turn it on as of late. It shows how much work Todd (Berrier, the crew chief) and the team have been putting in the past couple of months. We have been running really well for at least 2½ months now. We didn't have the finishes to show for everything that had been turned around the last three months, really. Lately we have been building better cars, better engines and just better everything. It seems like everything is going our way now, and we're getting some breaks and doing things right at the shop."
Last week: Harvick continued his recent surge with a fourth-place finish.
Etc.: Harvick believes that when the points are reset for the Chase, many drivers have a legitimate chance at challenging for the title. "It seems like everybody has closed the gap on the No. 18 (Kyle Busch)," Harvick said. "Obviously, they've been running really good every week, but it seems like the No. 99 (Carl Edwards) has been running really good as well. I feel like we've closed the gap. We've got a little bit more work to do to get to where we need to be."
Tony Stewart, No. 20 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing
This week: Stewart's record at Richmond is among the best in the Series — he has three wins, including victories in this race in 1999 (his first career Cup win) and the May races in 2001 and 2002. Those are three of his seven top-five finishes and 13 top-10s in 19 starts. Stewart makes the Chase by (1) finishing 36th, (2) finishing 37th and leading at least one lap or (3) finishing 40th and leading the most laps. "I'm proud of my team, I'm proud of Zippy (Greg Zipadelli, the crew chief), I'm proud of our guys and how hard they are digging, but we just haven't found that one thing or two things that we need right now," Stewart said. "The great thing about this organization is that these guys won't quit. It doesn't matter if with two races to go we're 12th in the points. They are still going to keep working just as hard as we are right now. You keep doing the same things that we've always done for 10 years that's won us 33 races and two championships. You keep fighting and you keep working hard and you hope you find it, but right now we're not where we need to be."
Last week: Stewart puttered around to a 22nd-place finish.
Etc.: Stewart believes a driver's relationship with his spotter is important. "One hundred percent because you have to trust them to see where they can't see," Stewart said. "... Just like drivers' spotters make mistakes, drivers make mistakes and crewmembers make mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes. Media members make mistakes. So it happens to everybody, and that's just the case where it happened to a spotter. You have to tell your spotter what information you want. There's not very many times they can tell you too much information. You have to decide what you want and what you don't want. It's kind of like a driver/crew chief role. You find a crew chief that you like and you hang onto him."
Matt Kenseth, No. 17 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing
This week: Kenseth won this race in 2002, his only win at Richmond to go along with three top-five and nine top-10 finishes in 17 starts. Kenseth makes the Chase by finishing 26th or if he finishes 28th and leads at least one lap or finishes 30th and lead the most laps. "Richmond is a pretty cool race track," Kenseth said. "It's pretty wide for a short track, and that usually allows for side-by-side racing. It used to be the only short track that we went to where we could do that, but now you can race side by side at Bristol, too. We ran horrible at Richmond when we were there in the spring. We couldn't get our car set up right and were running in the back and got caught up in a wreck and wound up finishing 38th. With the way the points are now and how close eighth through 12th are, we can't afford a race like that. If we're going to be in the Chase, we have to have a solid run this weekend. So hopefully we'll be able to find a good setup and not have to struggle with that. If we can get the car handling good, I know my guys in the pits will do their part to keep me up front."
Last week: Kenseth is coming off a fifth-place finish.
Etc.: Crew chief Chip Bolin hopes he has prepared a bullet (chassis RK-574) for Kenseth at Richmond. "Richmond is one of those long-run, finesse, momentum tracks that Matt likes," Bolin said. "The toughest part of getting around Richmond is the apex of turn one and two. You have to have the front tires working together through this part of the track so you don't lose time waiting on the car to turn. If the car is too tight, it will snap loose on exit here and hurt even more than just being too free to go fast. Turns three and four are typically freer than one and two, so it's important to keep good forward drive in the car up off of turn four so that guys can't get by you coming down the frontstretch into turn one."
Jeff Gordon, No. 24 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports
This week: Gordon has two wins (spring 1996 and September 2000), 12 top-five finishes and 19 top-10s in 31 Richmond starts. He was ninth in May and fourth in this race last year. Gordon makes the Chase if he finishes the same as his car number (24) or finishes 28th and leads at least one lap or finishes 35th and leads the most laps. "If we run like we're capable of running, then we shouldn't have to worry about scenarios," Gordon said. "We need to have a complete weekend, from a good practice session on Friday to a strong qualifying effort Friday night, and follow that up with a strong run and finish Saturday night. Hopefully we won't have to concern ourselves with how the other teams are faring during the race. But I'm sure my crew chief Steve Letarte will be aware of the situation and will adjust the game plan, if necessary."
Last week: Gordon started third but finished 15th.
Etc: Rival driver Carl Edwards has tabbed Gordon as the driver to beat in the Chase. "I appreciate Carl saying that," Gordon said. "We certainly feel the same way. ... Honestly, you don't have to win a race to win the championship, in my opinion. I think we're one of the most consistent teams out there, but we do need to get our performance up a notch to compete with those guys."
Denny Hamlin, No. 11 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing
This week: Hamlin knows he can't relax in his bid to earn a spot in this year's Chase. He just has to recall what happened in the spring race at Richmond, when he won the pole and led an amazing 381 laps before a cut tire with 18 laps to go left him with a 24th-place finish. "I know we may never have a car that dominating again, but we are going to Richmond ready to compete for a win and make the Chase," said Hamlin. He has a second, a third and a sixth in five races at Richmond.
Last week: Hamlin finished third for the second consecutive week to strengthen his chances of securing a spot in the Chase. He has a 93-point cushion over 13th-place David Ragan. "We had a top-five car, really, from the get-go, and it's pretty rare that you can have a car that's as consistent from the day to the night," said Hamlin, who quickly moved from his 21st starting position into the top five, where he ran for most of the evening.
Etc.: The Chesterfield, Va., native admits he hasn't gotten over what happened to him in the spring at his home track. "We had an opportunity to sweep both races (Martinsville and Richmond, both in Virginia), and that opportunity to do that in your hometown just doesn't happen that often, especially in the shape and fashion that we almost did it (with two dominating victories)," said Hamlin.
Clint Bowyer, No. 07 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing
This week: Bowyer won the spring race at Richmond for his lone victory of the season and has never finished worse than 12th in five races at Richmond (he also has a ninth and a 10th in addition to his two 12th-place finishes). With only a 17-point edge in the race to earn the 12th and final spot in the Chase, Bowyer knows "it's going to be a battle right down to the end (the last lap). Anything can happen in Richmond. But there is a little bit of confidence knowing you're coming off a win there. Granted, circumstances played in our favor and certainly played a role in that win (when Kyle Busch collided with Dale Earnhardt Jr. while battling for the lead), but we came from a long ways back and had a really good car."
Last week: Bowyer has struggled at the intermediate tracks this season, and he knew he couldn't afford another stumble at California if he wanted to remain in the top 12. Bowyer accomplished his mission by finishing 10th. "This is definitely a step in the right direction," he said. "These guys have been working hard and I am really proud of this 10th-place finish, but we've gotta get better."
Etc.: Bowyer believes "Richmond is the perfect race track. We need to run tracks like Richmond every week. It's such a fun track to race at, and I'm a fan of the sport and a spectator, too. I've watched races at Richmond from the grandstands, and it's a fun track to watch a race from. I'd like to see the Chase start and end there."
David Ragan, No. 6 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing
This week: Ragan finished third a year ago at Richmond and would be delighted with a similar finish Saturday night in his last shot at making the Chase in only his second full season of Sprint Cup racing. "I have total faith in Jimmy (Fennig, the crew chief), and I think we have a shot," Ragan said. He was 17th and 20th in his other two races at Richmond.
Last week: Ragan lost ground in his bid to make the Chase when he finished 13th at California, while the man in front of him —Clint Bowyer— came in 10th. Ragan did help his cause by staying out during the fourth caution flag to lead a lap. The five-point bonus leaves Ragan only 17 points behind Bowyer going into the last race before the Chase begins. "We just didn't have the speed all night and battled poor track position," said Ragan.
Etc.: Ragan believes his mission Saturday night is a simple one. "We're forced to outrun everybody else on the race track," he said. "We've just got to have more speed and we've just got to beat them on the race track. We can't count on their misfortune. We've just got to have more speed and we've just got to make sure we're in the top two or three."
Kasey Kahne, No. 9 Dodge, Gillett Evernham Motorsports
This week: Kahne scored his first Cup win at Richmond in the spring of 2005, when he won the pole and led 242 laps in a dominating victory. He hopes for the same kind of weekend in his bid to jump into 12th place in the standings and earn a spot in this year's Chase. Kahne finished 10th in the spring race at Richmond, his third top-10 finish in the last four events at the track. "We've had pretty good success there in the past," said Kahne. "We just have to keep our Budweiser Dodge out of trouble, race hard and see what happens."
Last week: Kahne lost a last-lap battle with Kyle Busch for seventh place. But Kahne did finish in front of both Clint Bowyer and David Ragan, the two drivers right in front of him in the standings, to keep alive his hopes of making the Chase. Kahne is 48 points out of the top 12. "We just could never get over the hump and into the top five," said Kahne.
Etc.: Kahne said he is not disappointed with his spot in the standings (14th). "I feel like we've come a long ways since last year," said Kahne. "We were going for sixth in the points a few weeks ago and ended up 14th (after two straight 40th-place finishes). It's racing; that's the way it goes. I think that we have a good enough team that if we make the Chase, we can run in the top five."
Brian Vickers, No. 83 Toyota, Red Bull Racing
This week: Vickers won the pole and finished eighth in his first Cup start at Richmond in May 2004, but his best finish since then has been 24th. "We can't make the Chase, but we can still finish the year on a high note," said Vickers. "We feel we are getting closer and closer to that first win for Red Bull."
Last week: Pit-road problems, including a penalty for allowing a tire to roll across pit road, kept Vickers from contending for a top-five finish. Instead, he had to settle for 12th. "The penalty (forced to start at the rear of the longest line) absolutely killed us," said Vickers. "No matter how good a car you have, when you get in traffic like that it's just hard (to pass). You can only do so much."
Etc.: Vickers admits he is "getting tired of being beat off pit road. They (his pit crew) are good people, and I know they work really hard. They put the effort in, but this is becoming an every week thing where we are losing 10 or 15 spots off pit road — not one, like 10 or 15."
Ryan Newman, No. 12 Dodge, Penske Racing
This week: Newman seems to run much better at Richmond in the spring — his last four top-10 finishes at the track have all come in the May event, while his best finish in the last three September races has been 11th. But Newman did score his lone win at the Virginia facility in September 2003. "Not making the Chase doesn't change our focus," said Newman. "We are still here to win races, and that's still our goal each time we unload at the track."
Last week: Newman finished 16th at California as he dropped one spot in the standings. "We had good strategy (a two-tire pit stop during the sixth caution flag), which moved us into the top 10," said Newman. "But we just didn't have it (enough speed) on the last run. The car was decent in the corners but struggled on the straightaways."
Etc.: Newman said "you can't be too loose getting into the corners or too tight in the center, which is something that you typically fight at Richmond — even with the old car. The key to racing at Richmond is that you have to be considerate of the entries to the corners. Both ends are different, so it really is a drivers' race track."
Martin Truex Jr., Chevrolet, DEI
This week: Truex finished a career-best fifth in the spring Richmond race and will be buoyed by the return of crew chief Kevin Manion and car chief Gary Putnam now that they have served their six-race suspensions. "Those guys are an important part of the team, and not having them at the track each weekend has been tough," said Truex.
Last week: A loose left-front tire forced Truex to make an unscheduled pit stop, ending any hopes he had of a top-10 finish. Truex did rebound from the mishap to finish 19th. "We just couldn't get any overall grip in the tires," said Truex. "That's something we'll have to work on because our one-and-a-half mile and two-mile program is a little off."
Etc.: Truex spent two days this week elk hunting in New Mexico. "I just needed to take a break from racing," said Truex. "There's just something about being in the peace and quiet of the outdoors that takes my mind off of everything else. It's the best way I know of to relax and get refocused on the job. I always come back in a better mood than when I left."
Jamie McMurray, Ford, Roush Fenway Racing
This week: McMurray has scored only two top-10 finishes in 11 starts at Richmond but hasn't finished better than 19th in his last five starts at the track. "I don't know what it is about Richmond, but I can't seem to finish a race there on the lead lap," said McMurray. "In the spring race, we were in the top 10 with about 30 laps left when we were wrecked in turn 1."
Last week: McMurray ran into tire problems on the second lap of the race to quickly end any thoughts of another top-10 finish. "It's pretty disappointing to have your night end before you even complete two laps of the race," said McMurray, who rallied to finish 24th. "I thought we had a really good shot of running well."
Etc.: Crew chief Larry Carter said that because this weekend's race is an impound race, "it's important to get to the track, unload well and work on your race setup. We've had some good runs over the past few weeks (three top-10s in the last six races). Hopefully that can continue this weekend. We need to just be there at the end of this one and we'll come out with a solid finish."
Kurt Busch, No. 2 Dodge, Penske Racing
This week: Busch has finished in the top 10 in two of the last three races at Richmond, but in the spring Busch got caught up in a multicar accident and finished 42nd. His lone win at the track came on Sept. 10, 2005. Busch will be racing the car that he drove to victory earlier this year at New Hampshire. That is the only time he has driven the car before this weekend.
Last week: Busch and Martin Truex Jr. bounced off each other early in the Pepsi 500, and Busch suffered a cut left-rear tire. The tire problem caused Busch to spin in turn 1, bringing out the second of eight caution flags. The early race problems dropped Busch two laps back of the leader, and he never recovered on the way to a 39th-place finish.
Etc.: Busch hopes to play the spoiler and "grab the headlines away" from the drivers trying to make the Chase. "There are about five or six guys who are on pins and needles right now," said Busch. "And then for those of us who are out of the Chase and not concerned about points at all. We just want to run well."
Elliott Sadler, No. 19 Dodge, Gillett Evernham Motorsports
This week: Sadler has six top-10 finishes in 25 starts at his home track. "Richmond is a special place for me," said Sadler. "I'm a very proud Virginian (born and raised in Emporia, Va.), and those fans are proud of all their drivers who make it into NASCAR. I used to sit in those very same stands when I was a kid with my family members. It means a little more when we race at Richmond."
Last week: After qualifying sixth fastest, Sadler had high hopes for the weekend. But an early race mishap ("We got hit from behind") damaged the right-rear quarter panel, and Sadler struggled with an ill-handling race car for the rest of the evening. He finished 34th. "It's a shame," said Sadler. "The guys put a lot of hard work in this car to bring it here."
Etc.: Sadler said this weekend's race is "kind of like a homecoming football game when you are in high school or college where everyone you know comes out to the game and cheers for the hometown team."
Juan Pablo Montoya, No. 42 Dodge, Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates
This week: Montoya has not fared well at Richmond. In his three starts, his best finish has been 26th. While Montoya hopes for a much better run Saturday night, Steve Lauletta, the team's president, is concentrating his efforts on finding a sponsor to replace Texaco/Havoline. "I feel confident we'll have something put together pretty quick," said Lauletta.
Last week: Montoya was not happy with his 20th-place finish. "We had a top-10 car up until it got dark, and then we just didn't hit on the right adjustments," said Montoya. The top-20 finish did allow Montoya to pull to 11 points back of the top 20.
Etc.: Car owner Chip Ganassi announced Tuesday that Dario Franchitti would return to the IndyCar Series in 2009. Franchitti, who won the Indianapolis 500 and the IndyCar championship in 2007, decided to try his hand at stock car racing this year, but sponsorship problems left him without a Cup ride this summer. "I have really enjoyed my time in stock cars and have not completely closed that chapter, but this opportunity I could not pass up," said Franchitti.
Bobby Labonte, No. 43 Dodge, Petty Enterprises
This week: Labonte has earned 10 top-10 finishes in 31 starts at Richmond, including two second-place finishes. He is 28 points out of the top 20, and he admits the year has been a frustrating one. "We're not where we want to be in points, but we're focused on a bigger picture. The Boston Ventures partnership has been great for Petty Enterprises. We're becoming a stronger organization every day."
Last week: Labonte finished 21st at California. "We struggled with track position early and got a lap down," said Labonte. "We struggled down the straightaway. We could have been better in the corners, but we just didn't have the momentum down the straightaways. That's a little bit better than we've been on these mile-and-a-half tracks."
Etc.: Labonte believes "we need more tracks like Richmond on the schedule. There is no doubt that it's one of the most exciting tracks that we go to. It just promotes good, hard racing. What's great about it is all of the room you have. It would make for a great place to hold a Chase race."
Travis Kvapil, No. 28 Ford, Yates Racing
This week: Kvapil's best finish in five starts at Richmond is an 11th. He finished 16th in the spring race. "The car we're bringing with us is the same exact car from May's race and we haven't raced it since then, but I feel very confident about our chances," said crew chief Todd Parrott.
Last week: After the No. 28 car finished 28th at California, Kvapil said, "As the sun went down and the track began to change, my car got pretty loose as the runs went on and it was difficult for me to be able to throttle up going in the turns. We kept making changes trying to help me get better grip, but we just never got it to where we wanted."
Etc.: Kvapil said he is a big fan of the Richmond facility. "Richmond is a great track because it's a short track, but it's still fast enough to where you need to make sure you have a really good aero package and, of course, a great motor," said Kvapil. "More than anything it's just a fun Saturday night race where the fans seem like they're right on top of the action."
Casey Mears, No. 5 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports
This week: Mears is still looking for his first top-10 finish at Richmond; his best finish in 11 starts at the track is 11th. He did lead six laps a year ago at Richmond before finishing 17th. Those six laps are the only laps that Mears has ever led at the three-quarter-mile facility. Mears will be racing a new car that has never even been tested.
Last week: Mears ran into major handling problems after the sun set Sunday night and, as a result, finished 26th at his home track. "We had a great handle on it early in the race and worked our way through the field," he said. "But when the sun went down, the car got really loose off the corners."
Etc.: Crew chief Alan Gustafson is a football fanatic, and he couldn't be happier that the series has Sunday off this weekend so he can watch his favorite professional team. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers open their regular season with a game against the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome.
David Reutimann, No. 44 Toyota, Michael Waltrip Racing
This week: Reutimann's best finish in three starts at Richmond is 13th. He hopes to continue to surprise people this weekend with another top-10 run. "The new cars that our guys have been building in the fab shop have been great, and we're finally reaping the benefits of the hard work our guys have been putting in all year," he said.
Last week: Reutimann finished a career-best ninth at California but admitted he was disappointed. "I felt like we had a top-five car," said Reutimann. "We didn't luck into anything. The pit stops were pretty good and the car was real good. It was a lot of fun. Nights like tonight, it doesn't seem all that hard when the car drives like it did."
Etc.: Reutimann said one of the biggest lessons he has learned during his second year of Sprint Cup racing is how important qualifying is. "When you start up front, you tend to race around guys that you need to be racing with," said Reutimann. "You watch their cars and see what they're doing. You learn, and you get better information."

I've been using various versions of the iPrint 4.x client on several of my networks, and always seem to get annoying delays when doing a File – Print. The job prints fine, it just takes a while for the OK box to appear (up to two minutes in extreme cases). Of course some users think the job failed or was never submitted, which results in help desk calls and people repeatedly clicking the print button.
TID 3611869 states that the iPrint client 4.30 fixes this issue. The cause appears to be the way IPP: attempts to resolve on the network. I'll deploy the new client to a test group of users next week, and I'll report back if any differences, good or bad, are noticed.

Billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates thinks Donald Trump has the chance to be like JFK during his presidency.
Gates told CNBC Tuesday that he thinks Trump has the opportunity to establish "American leadership through innovation," adding that a lot of Trump's message since his candidacy has been about "where he sees things not as good as he'd like."
He continued: "But in the same way President Kennedy talked about the space mission and got the country behind that," Gates continued, "I think whether it's education or stopping epidemics ... [or] in this energy space, there can be a very upbeat message that [Trump's] administration [is] going to organize things, get rid of regulatory barriers, and have American leadership through innovation."
Gates has recently spoken to the President-elect on the phone about the "power of innovation," he told CNBC, adding that "he's sure" there will be more conversation on the matter in the future. The conversation was the first time the two had ever spoken, he said.
"Of course, my whole career has been along those lines [innovation]," he said. "And he was interested in listening to that."

A digital camera is
|[a] still camera that records images in digital format. Unlike traditional analog cameras that record infinitely variable intensities of light, digital cameras record discrete numbers for storage on a flash memory card or optical disk.[1]
Overview Edit
A digital camera can do things film cameras cannot: displaying images on a screen immediately after they are recorded, storing thousands of images on a single small memory device, recording video with sound, and deleting images to free storage space. Some can crop pictures and perform other elementary image editing.

Time to foster packaging's contribution towards a resource efficient Europe
Packaging is part of the solution for overall sustainability. Across the packaging supply chain efforts will continue to deliver resource efficiency, promoting the transition towards a circular and competitive economy.
These efforts relate to improving packaging's performance and at the same time delivering packaging solutions with a low environmental footprint, across the whole life cycle of packaging (from sourcing over end of life management to the production of secondary raw materials). Over the past two decades much has been achieved, but, as always, challenges remain and new opportunities can be seized.

Packaging innovation, including environmental improvements are not only market driven, but go hand in hand with the right and relevant regulatory framework. The ongoing EU waste legislation review provides a key opportunity to enable and strengthen the positive contribution of packaging towards resource efficiency through clear, effective and proportionate legislation on packaging and packaging waste.
The European Commission is currently reviewing EU waste legislation, including the EU Packaging & Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC) (PPWD), with legislative proposals on revised EU waste management targets expected before summer.
This review – mainly focused on the end of life management of (packaging) waste – is set to contribute to the EU's overarching objectives in transitioning towards a resource efficient, low-carbon and competitive economy.
Packaging's positive contribution to resource efficiency can and should be advanced by ensuring better implementation and enforcement of existing EU Waste legislation in the Member States. In addition, significant market and regulatory changes related to packaging and packaging waste management have occurred in the last two decades, now requiring regulatory updates and legal clarity in the PPWD and Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC).
The PPWD has been – and still is - a successful and effective legislative framework for driving recycling and recovery of all used packaging. Based on official EU data, the EUROPEN in-depth analysis on the evolution of packaging waste recycling and recovery rates shows that between 2000 and 2011, the amount of (non-wood) packaging going to final disposal (landfill) in the 15 oldest Member States fell by 49.5% and that in 2011 in the same countries 65.3% of all packaging was recycled compared to 47.3% in 1998.
The recycling results for the packaging waste stream considerably exceed the 40% recycling rate of general municipal waste in 2011, up from 27% in 2001.
Realistic and achievable targets
However, the analysis also shows substantial disparities in Member States' recycling and recovery rates, explained by differences in implementation deadlines, waste management infrastructure and reprocessing capacity, but also a lack of consistence in the national reporting of packaging recycling and recovery rates to EUROSTAT.
Future EU targets and timelines should therefore be realistic and achievable, taking into account these national specificities, and based on harmonised rules for calculating and reporting packaging and packaging waste data across the Member States.
In order to meet their legal obligations, industry has set up Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance schemes in virtually all Member States, which manage the end-of-life of their packaging. EPR has proven to be a successful policy tool used by Member States to meet packaging recycling and recovery targets set by the PPWD. However, since the PPWD's adoption in 1994, divergent practices are undermining efforts to meet national targets.
In order to drive higher recycling and recovery rates, it will be of key importance to clarify EPR for packaging waste. A clear EU legal framework for EPR in the PPWD will help address current market distortions to ensure a level playing field and fair competition between competing EPR compliance schemes.
This can be done by assigning clear roles and responsibilities for all actors involved in packaging waste management operations (Member States, municipalities, and economic operators), as well as introducing minimum legal performance criteria for all EPR compliance schemes.
The PPWD has proven invaluable in safeguarding the free movement of packaging and packaged goods throughout the EU, while at the same time protecting the environment. It therefore remains the appropriate and effective regulatory framework for driving and accelerating efforts towards greater resource efficiency in a true European Single Market for packaging and packaged goods.
Over the past years, packaging has moved from a negative value to a positive value and resource, amid increasing material costs, better end-of-life solutions for packaging waste management and corporate objectives.
An updated EU regulatory framework, taking into account the above points, will allow packaging and packaging waste management to optimally contribute to deliver resource efficiency with waste finally being recognised and marketed as a valuable resource.
EUROPEN's positions on the EU waste legislation review are available here.
Virginia Janssens is the Managing Director of EUROPEN, the European Organization for Packaging and the Environment, an EU industry association presenting the opinion of the packaging supply chain in Europe, without favouring any specific packaging material or system. EUROPEN members represent the packaging supply chain from raw material suppliers, packaging producers to brand owners.

Since his immigration to Canada in 2001, Georgia Straight journalist and Radio India broadcaster Gurpreet Singh has interviewed relatives of the 329 people killed on Air India Flight 182 on June 23, 1985.
The first-ever bombing of a 747 jet remains the largest mass murder in Canadas history and the worst fatal disaster to occur over a body of water.
Intending to write a book with the working title of Canadas 9/11, Singh published a preliminary study, Fighting Hatred With Love: Voices of the Air India Victims Families (2012 $9.95) distributed locally by Asian Publications of Surrey and published by Punjab-based Chetna Parkashan.
Singhs interim work was launched at a memorial ceremony held at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in July. He has voiced criticism of the South Asian community in B.C. for failing to fully adopt the terrorist attack as a distinctly Canadian story, instead preferring to view the event within a broader South Asian perspective.
According to his website, "Gurpreet Singh is a newscaster and talk show host with Radio India in Vancouver. Before immigrating to Canada in 2001 he worked with The Tribune, Chandigarh, India. After completing his Masters degree in journalism from Panjab University, he started his career as a journalist with Indian Express in 1996. He has been working with Radio India since 2001 and has freelanced for Surrey Now, Georgia Straight, South Asian Post and People's Voice. He occasionally writes for India based publications, like The Hindustan Times, Frontline and Daily India Post. He is currently working on a book tentatively titled, Canada's 9/11: Lessons from the Air India Bombings."
Having researched the Komagata Maru Incident, Singh self-published Why Mewa Singh killed William Hopkinson?--Revisiting the murder of a Canadian Immigration Inspector (2013).
Other B.C. Books about Air India Flight 182:
The Death of Air India Flight 182 (W.H. Allen 1986) by Province reporter Salim Jiwa examined Indias political tensions within the context of the disaster only one year later after the debris had settled in the Irish Sea.
Loss of Faith: How The Air-India Bombers Got Away With Murder (M&S 2005) by award-winning Vancouver Sun reporter Kim Bolan appeared in the wake of the acquittal of Sikh leaders Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri. It also examines the same-day, terrorist explosion at Tokyos Narita Airport that killed two baggage handlers for Air India Flight 301.
Jiwa also co-wrote Margin of Terror: A Reporters Twenty-Year Odyssey Covering the Tragedies of the Air India Bombing (Key Porter 2006), with Donald J. Hauka, adding information about the 20-year Air India investigation and the 19-month trial that resulted in a verdict of not guilty for the accused in 2005.
In Children of Air India (Nightwood 2013),
Renée Sarojini Saklikar examines, among many things, why 9/11 resonates more strongly with most Canadians than the Air India disaster of June 23, 1985 that killed 329 people, making it Canada's worst mass murder. The accused were acquitted after a 20-year investigation. Her poems subtitled "un/authorized exhibits and interjections" explore individual loss within public trauma. Unstated in promotional materials, Saklikar, a graduate of SFU Writers Studio, is also the wife of Provincial NDP leader Adrian Dix.
Inspired by her familys history, Padma Viswanathans novel The Ever After of Ashwin Rao (Random House 2014) is set almost twenty years after bombing of the Air India flight from Vancouver that killed 329 people off the coast of Ireland. As the long trial of two terrorist suspects is underway, Ashwin Rao, an Indian psychologist trained in Canada, returns to interview people wholike himselflost loved ones on the plane. His "study of comparative grief" unexpectedly leads him into a deep association with one family in particular.

I thought this would be a really easy list to write, but when I thought about it, I couldn't describe what is so amazing about Zutara. This doesn't give the ship justice, but I tried. If I can think of better reasons, I'll post them.
12. It's a whole lot more interesting than Kataang or Maiko.
11. The hints ARE there.
10. They need each other.
9. They're gone through so much, together and alone.
8. It's far more complicated and passionate than Kataang.
