DeLEON SPRINGS, Fla. - A DeLeon Springs woman attacked her boyfriend by pouring hot candle wax on his head and face during an argument over the couple being evicted from their home, according to sheriff's officials.
Denise Harris, 39, was arrested on charges of battery, a Volusia County sheriff's incident report shows. Harris was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail on $1,000 bond.
[LISTEN: 911 call made by victim's mother]
According to the report, Lemuel Courson, 38, was also bitten and punched in the attack.
Deputies were called to a home at Johnson Lake Road in DeLeon Springs at 11:15 p.m. Wednesday by Courson's mother.
"She hit him in the face and threw a candle on him or something. He said he's got candle wax all over the side of his face," Courson's mom said in a 911 call.
Courson told deputies that he was sitting on a sofa talking with Harris about the possibility of being evicted when she got angry, the report stated.
According to the report, Harris, a student at Florida Technical College in DeLand, picked up the lit candle and poured hot wax on Courson's face and hair.
Harris left the home to get away from Harris, but she followed him and bit him on the jaw, deputies said. When Courson pushed her off him, she punched him in the nose, according to the report.
Courson had dried wax on the side of his face and hair, deputies said. Dried wax was also found on the sofa and coffee table in the living room, the report said.

Parkington Sisters Announce New EP/Tour Launch
When Ariel, Sarah, Nora, and Rose Parkington of the Parkington Sisters pick up their instruments to strike up a song, the air begins to buzz. The chemistry between the four sisters is so present you feel like you can touch it - and as soon as they strike the first tone, it overwhelms the listener like tidal wave crashing down. Now their new single "Inside My Head" premiered with Paste Magazine. You can also stream and download it here via SoundCloud (please post & share).
Hailing from Wellfleet, Massachusetts, the Parkington Sisters cut their teeth on music from the very beginning. Daughters of a prog rock musician and a classically trained guitarist and songwriter, they were raised playing music on picturesque Cape Cod. They rebelled against summer jobs cleaning rental houses and performing in high-brow symphonies and instead became a band performing on the streets of Provincetown, on the tip of the Cape. Over the past 4 years they have performed for for hundreds of thousands of people, sharing the stage with artists ranging from Mavis Staples and Bruce Springsteen to Dispatch and the Dropkick Murphys, performing in radio studios and stages across the US, Canada and Europe, including New York's Radio City Music Hall.
The Sisters will be touring in October in anticipation of their 2014 full-length release. In commemoration of the dates, the band are releasing a special EP, featuring album track "Inside My Head". The new album and EP was produced and engineered by Joel Hamilton (Black Keys, Tom Waits), along with the sisters - and was recorded in haunted churches, basements, hotels and living rooms across New England - as well as at the new 5000 square foot Studio G in Brooklyn. It combines the influence of growing up on the picturesque Cape Cod and the sisters' individual talents - each of the sisters is a songwriter and a multi-instrumentalist. With soaring melodies, tumbling from optimistic heights to eerie lows, vibrant harmonies and intricate arrangements, their songwriting incorporates the eclectic songwriting of Joni Mitchell and Aimee Mann, the energy of June Carter and the hit potential of Mumford and Sons.
The Parkington Sisters released their debut album Till Voices Wake Us in 2011, which also was produced by Joel Hamilton.

The Impact of Financial Markets Globalization on Companies Capital Structure
Insuring the assets financing was a permanent concern in the companies. The aim of the financing policy was to identify the most profitable financing sources for the company, at the lowest cost possible and correlated in time with the need of resources. The modelling of the cost of capital, as well as that of the optimal combination of various financing sources in order to obtain a cost of capital able to lead to maximizing the companies value, especially in the conditions of a durable financing are permanent challenges for scientific research. The capital structure of the companies is determined by a wide range of quantitative and qualitative factors, which can be divided in two classes: on one side, factors independents on companies decisions (the stability of the economy, the fiscal system, the monetary and capital markets), and on the other side internal factors (the size of the company, the profitability, the percent of tangible assets in total assets etc.). The accessibility of the financing sources is in present influenced by the characteristics of the credit and capital markets are characterized in present by complex phenomena such as the globalization and the adhesion of certain countries to European Union.

Biography of Hari Bansha Acharya-चिना हराएको मान्छे
Our very own favorite veteran actor/singer/comedian Hari Bansha Acharya has launched a book on his autobiography called Cheena Harayeko Manche (चिना हराएको मान्छे) on April 28, 2013. The book was launched on the second death anniversary of his beloved wife Meera Acharya. The book was launched in a very new way by Cartoonist Durga Baral(Vatsyayan) by displaying a cartoon character designed by Baral. This cartoon character is trying to depict the replica of Acharya himself who is writing his own fate as his detailed horoscope was lost years ago.
It is a book on simple language about the Hari Bansha Acharya's ups and downs in his life. The book deals with the unexpected tragic events that has come in Acharya's life one after the other. He explains about his relationship with his late wife and his current wife Ramila Pathak. The book also includes light moments of how Acharya disliked his own name and had a strong urge to change it.
The book cost NRs.398 whereas the special edition book with Acharya's signature would cost NRs.2000. The 90 per cent of the collected money from the book selling will be given to Meera Care Centre, Sankhu Kavre which is working for the welfare of orphans. The book will also be sold online for the fans of Acharya outside the country as well.

Emerging Markets Institute's inaugural Fellow discusses the "decoupling" between the business cycles of advanced and emerging economies with audience at Johnson
Up until now, the United States and other advanced economies have set the stage for the global economic climate. According to Eswar Prasad, Johnson Emerging Markets Institute's (EMI) inaugural fellow and senior professor of International Trade Policy at Cornell, this relationship has changed: The success of emerging markets is no longer dependent on the success of advanced economies worldwide. Hitting the ground running with its mission to expand discussion and knowledge dissemination about emerging markets, EMI hosted a discussion between Prasad and EMI co-academic director Andrew Karolyi, to students, faculty and staff at Johnson on March 3.
In his recent book, Emerging Markets: Resilience and Growth Amid Global Turmoil, coauthored with M. Ayhan Kose, Prasad discussed the globalization process, its possible outcomes, and its effects on emerging markets. The Tolani Senior Professor of International Trade Policy at Cornell, Prasad is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, where he holds the New Century Chair in International Economics, and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Globalization, according to Prasad, can result in one of two outcomes. The first is a greater synchronization of the global business cycle, in which most of the economies of the world would experience booms and crises at corresponding times. The second is a greater strategic specialization among nations, which would result in less correlation between business cycles worldwide.
Following the recent economic crisis, there has been mounting evidence that the latter outcome of globalization is the most likely. "In the past, it used to be that when the U.S. caught a cold, everyone else caught pneumonia, but this is no longer the case," Prasad said.
Instead, there has been a significant amount of "decoupling" between the business cycles of advanced economies and emerging economies. Though the crisis had an impact around the world and the "propagation of shock" was felt in most countries, Prasad explained, emerging markets recovered much faster. "As a group, they did very well," he said.
Despite their relative success after the crisis, Prasad explained that there remains a gradient between different kinds of emerging markets, and that some are more resilient and successful than others.
Emerging markets in Europe, for example, did not do as well as those in Latin America or Africa because of the debt they accumulated. Emerging European economies often borrowed money in foreign currencies, and were unable to pay it back, which led to constantly increasing debt.
"Emerging markets in Latin America and Africa have more insular economies because they are more isolated and they are not exposed to the same kind of borrowing and debt that emerging markets experience in Europe, so they did much better," Prasad said.
Latin American and African emerging markets also may have done better because they maintained more reserves in the years prior to and during the crisis, but reserves are not necessarily the best way to avoid a crisis either, Prasad explained. "The lesson is that reserves are good," he said, "but if everyone stocks up and stops investing and spending, that will be a problem too."
Prasad also explained that though the emerging markets recovered more rapidly after the crisis because of "decoupling," they are not immune to future global economic issues. "If we have another crisis, they will probably still get hurt. They may be decoupling from advanced economies' cycles, but we are all still very much connected," he said.

Little snacks for small tummies
Little snacks for small tummies
Little people need a huge variety of food to take in the nutrition they need to grow into big people. The only problem is, little people only have very little tummies. There is no way they can take in the food they need at breakfast, lunch and dinner to get the big nutritional charge required to grow and grow ... and grow.
They need high quality snacks to get there - that is, five small meals a day that are sufficiently packed with nutrients to fill them up and power them along until the next refuelling stop.
Interestingly, the nutritional needs of the fussy kid who hardly eats a thing and the kid who doesn't stop asking for food from dawn until dusk are the same. Both types of kids need fresh, quality whole foods that provide them with the vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and other nutritional good stuff to develop and learn healthy eating habits.
Try these little snacks for small tummies next time your child needs a boost.
Fruit with yoghurt dip
Creamy yoghurt and tangy fruit are a tasty combination – and the calcium and vitamin C inside are a similar match made in heaven. Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces and use plain yoghurt with a little jam or honey plus a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg stirred through. It's delicious! If you were feeling especially creative, you could thread the fruit pieces onto kebab sticks for a fun snack on the go.
Cheese and homemade biscuits
Parmesan biscuits are a cinch to make and they bring out the flavour of fresh cheese so beautifully. There's a great recipe for the biscuits here, but I'd substitute wholemeal flour for plain and go easy on the cayenne! Serve individually wrapped cheese portions with the biscuits for extra fun – kids love unwrapping their little afternoon 'gift'.
Banana smoothie is a perennial favourite, but you can add all sorts of fruits to make a flavourful snack. Frozen berries are great – raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. You can also add a dollop of peanut butter or a sprinkle of chia seeds or LSA (linseed, sunflower seeds and almonds) for an interesting flavour.
Green smoothies pack a nutritional punch well above their weight. Made with spinach and herbs as well as fruits, they are a terrific way to get the dreaded 'green food' into little tummies. A great way to get your child interested is to allow them to grow their own herbs for their smoothies – mint, parsley and spinach can all be easily grown. You'll be surprised how enticing this makes green food!
Homemade bars
Bars are easy to make in batches to freeze and then it's just a matter of popping the number you need out of the freezer in time to defrost. My favourite bars for snacking small people include:
- Chia seed muesli bars
- Blueberry bliss breakfast bars
- German chocolate protein bars
- Choco tahini rice bars
- Oaty carrot bars
Soup is an underrated snack performer in recent times. Soup used to be what our parents came home to on a cold afternoon, but somewhere along the way leftovers started getting used for other dishes or (gasp!) thrown in the bin, and soup became a rare thing indeed. Which is such a shame as it makes a wonderful snack for children. Depending on the kind of soup you make, it's full of nutrients and a great way to get fussy vegetables eaters eating vegetables. My son won't eat pumpkin, broccoli or peas but he devours bowls of all three in soup form. Served in a cup, it's just a brilliant snacky treat. Try these recipes using leftovers or just because:
Mini muffins
The easiest homemade baking treat you could possibly make, muffins in all their forms are a glorious thing indeed. Of course, some muffins are no more than very dense cakes, but a good muffin recipe will err on the side of healthy rather than treat. Look for recipes using whole grains, seeds and fruits and watch the sugar content. Bake mini-muffins so you can keep an eye on portion size – those gigantic muffin tray holes are no friend to small tummies.

Liquid Identities: Design in Every Dimension
Paula Scher, the principal of international consultancy Pentagram, has been at the forefront of graphic design for four decades. Iconic, smart, and accessible, her images have entered into the American vernacular. She has developed identity and branding systems, promotional materials, environmental graphics, packaging, and publication designs for a wide range of prominent clients including Bloomberg, Microsoft, Bausch + Lomb, Coca-Cola, the Museum of Modern Art, the Sundance Institute, the High Line, the Public Theater, the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Ballet, the New York Philharmonic, and Jazz at Lincoln Center.
As Scher states: "Identities are the beginning of everything. They are how something is recognized and understood. What could be better than that?" Identity is constitutive of culture and branding, and they forge identity.
This two-day intensive workshop will explore design in every dimension. Participants will select a not-for-profit organization and create an identity that can be recognized and understood in every form of media. Under the guidance of Paula Scher, participants will develop an identity system and apply this identity to function across various media: as websites, apps, environmental graphics, books, magazines, e-books, in sound, in fact, everything that is necessary for the new age of communication.
Come prepared: Select a not-for-profit organization that you want to design an identity for. Participants should bring their own laptop with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop installed.
* Please read the Terms & Conditions before the registration.
About the host
Paula Scher has been a principal in the New York office of the distinguished international consultancy Pentagram since 1991. She began her career as an art director in the 1970s and early 80s, when her eclectic approach to typography became highly influential. In the mid 1990s, her landmark identity for The Public Theater fused high and low into a wholly new symbology for cultural institutions, and her recent architectural collaborations have re-imagined the urban landscape as a dynamic environment of dimensional graphic design. Her graphic identities for Citibank and Tiffany & Co. have become case studies for the contemporary regeneration of American brands.
As the president of the Alliance Graphique Internationale, Scher serves as Commissioner on the New York Public Design Commission. Her work has been exhibited worldwide and is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Centre Georges Pompidou.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Elder Scrolls' started by blazinstorm414, Apr 14, 2013.
Just wondering what everyones favourite weapons are
I give my favourite weapons to my favourite character, and he's a heavy hitter, so I give him the enhanced dwarven crossbow and the stahlrim warhammer. Not so sure the stahlrim warhammer does the most damage in the game, but it has this thing that it just looks kinda weird, which makes it look good. Ya dig?
If I wanted my character to turn up to a fashion contest though, besides wearing Ulfric's robes (and looking incredible in that big-ass coat) I would get Chillrend, because of the frosty effects if it's charged, coupled with the Nightingale blade because that's a fancy little sword right there, and make my character adopt the silly exaggerated two-handed stance for posing.
The glass war hammer looks super badass
lol IGN ^^^
I seriously wonder why,Bethesda didn't add crossbows from the start! They are amazing! And Im obsessed with them
Chillrend, the blue glass sword, it's always my favorite.
Sword wise, I personally prefer the nightingale blade or just a plain old daderic sword But crossbows.... omg
Steel one-handed axe.
I call it Question, because I must axe you it.
Depends. My favorite weapon is my hands. Since my characters a mage, and it satisfies his... needs.
My Dragonbone Greatsword, I call it Crimson Thunder (Shock Damage, Absorb Health)
I also carry a Daedric Greatsword named Soulsunder (Soul Trap) for filling my Black Soul gems.
I tried to remake Umbra for Skyrim..anyone know the amazing sword from Morrowind and Oblivion? : http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Umbra_Sword_(Morrowind) http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Umbra_Sword_(Oblivion) Shame they didn't add that to skyrim
Umbra was awesome. I never got it in Morrowind but I did in Oblivion. I filled hundreds of soul gems with that weapon. It's easily done though. Just get one of those ancient Nord Swords (the colour matches, and it looks cool), Temper it as best you can, add a soultrap and absorb health enchantment and call it Umbra.
I eventually just got a mod that added it hah
I love the Nordic weapons that were added in Dragonborn DLC.
The armor is also sweet, I'm not too keen on the Carved Nordic 1h sword. Nords don't like curved swords and neither do I. It should have been like the Greatsword which looks awesome.
True...Im absolutely inlove with the armor, but I wasn't overly keen on the weapons...........But Stalrhim>
Haven't tried the Stalrhim yet, they look fucking awesome though, may have to craft a Stalrhim Battle Axe for my 2h Nord Barbarian, she's a vicious nymphomanic
Its amazing
Here's mine:
1. Blade Sword (Katana) because Katana's are my favorite weapons irl
2. Daedric Bow, (would be the nightingale bow had it not come pre-enchanted)
3. Scimitar, because fuck yea Moorish curved swords! The broad sword also one of my favorite irl weapons.
Awesome weapon for a Paladin character, even though it's a daedric artifact. But it's Meridia's artifact, she's the best of a bad bunch.
I actually love your screenshots haha...you should make a thread up with just them
She is awfully bossy though.
I have the Holyfire version, which also has added sun damage for vampires..... perfect for Dawnguard.
Dawnbreaker and Ari'Els Shield from Dawnguard is a good sword'n'board combo. Block and let the bastards beat the shield. Use shield bash an watch em fly. Then hit em with Dawnbreaker. Boom lol.
Sent from my Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk
I have the Red eagle burning sword,Ebony great sword, Glass dagger and a Glass bow of blizzards,all legendary
Keep in mind I haven't used every single weapon in the game. ATM I find the Dragonbane as my weapon of choice (runs out of juice pretty quickly though!), backed up abley by either Dawnbreaker or my Nordic Great Sword that absorbs health which I've named Sharky. Also I have Zephr (the kick-ass dwarven bow given to you by that Ghost in the Lost to the Ages quest), also I have Mehrunes Razor for those backstabbing sneak attacks.
I use a Daedric Bow, Nordic Battleaxe, and a Stalhrim Sword and Shield
A flacid strap on? lol
Careful with the emoticons RussNutter, that "shock" face kind of looks a little... ready... for that strap on lol (just kidding).

Right, it's a rather slow day on the internets and it's been a while since i've done a Best Of Cape Town 2012 poll. I've been saving up on them and to be honest i was waiting for something in particular, but i may as well do one in the mean time. If you don't know what the deal is with Best Of Cape Town 2012 then let me explain quickly – it's basically a go-to list for anyone wanting to know where in Cape Town they can find …for example the best burger, or pizza or coffee etc. But the list isn't compiled by experts or food guru's..its entirely crowd sourced by locals. Because why?…locals know best. So i throw out a poll on Life is Savage and you fine readers comment or make suggestions on Twitter or Facebook and i go count all the votes and then i make a top 10. Easy as that…in the past we've had amazing responses for Best Burger, Best Sushi, Best Coffee, Best Pizza and Best Mexican Food…and you can view all the top 10 results HERE.
And now it's time for a new poll my little bum fluff..and since it's winter and rather cold in Cape Town i thought it's rather fitting to find out the following:
Where in Cape Town do you go for the best curry?
And as is the case with all the previous polls..this is entirely based on votes. The nomination with the most votes will be ranked number one. Feel free though to leave a comment beneath this post justifying your pick..ie is it an India restaurant or a Thai one, price, portion size, variety of choice, how spicy it is, restaurant vibe or ambience etc.
If you make a nomination on Twitter then please use the following hashtags #BestOfCapeTown2012 and #BestCurry along with choice so i can track the results.

London-based Andrew Winch Designs has created an interior for super-yacht owners who want their AW189 to have the same "level of detail and entertainment technology" as their ships. The cabin features six full seats enhanced with built-in "whisper-dish" noise-cancellation systems. A glass dividing bulkhead, situated between the cabin and cockpit, displays flight information and entertainment.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 19-year-old man was arrested in a fatal shooting in East Arlington on Tuesday afternoon.
Jacksonville police said Christopher Charles told them he'd gotten into an argument over money with the victim, 33-year-old Ferneze Jones, and had been in an ongoing dispute for about six months.
Charles told police Jones left but threatened to come back and shoot up Charles' house in the 100 block of South Nadia Michelle Court, near Girvin Road and Atlantic Boulevard.
Police said Jones did return, and Charles had armed himself with an assault rifle in anticipation of his return.
Jones got out of his car and walked toward Charles' house, police said. They said Charles told him to leave, but Jones kept coming, and when he got to within five feet of him in the front yard, Charles shot him multiple times.
"After giving warnings to the victim to leave his property, he did not, and (Charles) fired on him four times, killing him," said Lt. Rob Schoonover, of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Police said Jones was not armed.
Schoonover said Charles told police he shot Jones in self-defense.
"In this case, our victim did not have any weapon," Schoonover said. "There was no physical contact. It was just a verbal (argument), and that does not give him the right to open fire on an individual, even though he was on his property."
"Based on the reports so far, there are somethings that make me question whether Mr. Charles should've been arrested for murder," said Attorney Eric Friday.
According to police, Charles said Jones also threatened to shoot him. Friday said if that's true, Charles had every right to defend himself.
"It doesn't matter if they're armed or not," said Friday. "If you believe someone is about to commit a forcible felony, you have right to use deadly force to stop the forcible felony."
Channel 4 Crime Analyst Ken Jefferson said there may be more evidence that police haven't made public, which led them to file murder charges.
"It's not uncommon for police to charge someone with a crime and later on have to drop it," said Jefferson. "That's not uncommon at all, so it's really left up to state attorney's office whether they'll file those charges."
Charles is charged with murder.

When former Communications Minister Andimuthu Raja, prime accused in the 2G spectrum scam, was asked a couple months ago why he was the only one who wasn't applying for bail when everybody else was, he was heard saying that he was the "captain of the ship" and was waiting for everyone else to get out first.
It looks like that day has finally come. On a day when the Supreme Court granted bail to former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura, accused No 2 in the case, Raja wasted no time in moving for bail in a Delhi court on Wednesday.
With both his former aides in government - Behura and former private secretary RK Chandolia (whose bail also has been upheld by the Supreme Court), Raja's chances of being granted similar relief seem high.
Behura, like Raja, had been charged under similar sections of the Indian Penal Code-criminal breach of trust by a public servant, criminal conspiracy, cheating-and under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Relief to Behura allows Raja to now seek bail on grounds of parity.
Firstpost had reported earlier that Behura would be Raja's test case.
Special CBI judge OP Saini had last year jointly charged Raja and Behura. They "dishonestly, in pursuance to the conspiracy, disposed of/allocated valuable spectrum, over which you were having dominion, which was entrusted to you in the capacity of public servants, to Swan Telecom Ltd and Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu) Ltd in violation of law with a view to cause wrongful gain to these companies..".
All three-Raja, Behura and Chandolia-were arrested on 2 February 2011. Raja and Behura have spent more than 15 months in prison.
Raja bail plea will be heard on Friday. He may be a free man after that - while of course keeping himself ready for his regular court appearances.
A smart politician, Raja declined to seek bail too soon because he wanted to pose as the victim. An early release would not have suited his purpose.
On the eve of his shift to judicial custody in Tihar jail last year, a senior CBI official asked Raja if he, like other VIP undertrials, would seek to shift to a hospital under some medical pretext or the other.
Raja said, "No. I will never like to lose public sympathy. I am a politician."

NEWYORK – Janet Jackson blames Dr. Conrad Murray for her brother Michael's death.
NEWYORK – Janet Jackson blames Dr. Conrad Murray for her brother Michael's death.
She told ABC News in an interview to air Wednesday that Murray should no longer be allowed to practice medicine. "He was the one that was administering," Jackson said. "I think he is responsible."
Prosecutors in Los Angeles are weighing charges against Murray in the pop singer's death. Murray told police he administered a powerful anesthetic to the singer shortly before Jackson died June 25.
A spokeswoman for the doctor, Miranda Sevcik, said he continues to maintain he neither prescribed or administered anything to Jackson that should have killed him.
Jackson told ABC's Robin Roberts that she was at her home in New York on June 25 when her assistant called to say Michael had been taken to the hospital. She told relatives to call her when they got to the hospital and grew concerned when she wasn't getting any calls back.
She says that a day doesn't go by when she doesn't think of Michael. "It just didn't ring true to me. It felt like a dream," she said. "It's still so difficult for me to believe." AP

From the book: "Who could resist Patch? This cuddly dog deserves a good home."
Please note: the yarn suggested in the book has been discontinued. However, the dog can also be made using (for example) Plymouth Encore Worsted or Rowan RYC Cashsoft DK. In that case, using the knit side instead of the purl side the pattern calls for will give much better results.
You'll need washable toy filling for stuffing.

'Rat Pack' re-creators back in Pittsburgh to croon Christmas tunes
As a young teen growing up in Glasgow in the '80s, Tam Ward had a Saturday ritual: he would start out his day watching kids' shows on BBC 1.
"Then sports would come on at noon, and I'd switch to BBC2 and watch movies," he recalls.
Many of the films were vintage movie musicals that starred Gene Kelly, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. While watching them, Ward developed a lifelong fondness for songs and singers from another era.
"In the '80s, I wasn't keen on pop music. I loved jazz and Elvis," Ward says.
Those movies turned out to be early research that paid off in a later-life career.
Ward is an actor, singer and dancer who has appeared in plays with Theatre de la Complicite and at the Royal National Theatre in London. His dance credits include the Stepbrother in Matthew Bourne's "Cinderella" in Los Angeles and The Prince in "Swan Lake" in Los Angeles and London's West End and on Broadway.
But he's most widely known for his performances as Frank Sinatra in "The Rat Pack — Live at the Sands" as well as in solo gigs at pubs, clubs and hotels.
He will be appearing as Sinatra from Dec. 24 to 29 at Heinz Hall, Downtown, in "Christmas With the Rat Pack — Live at the Sands'' a nonsubscription presentation of PNC Broadway Across America — Pittsburgh.
The holiday-theme show takes audiences back to the 1960s when Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop became known as the Rat Pack.
While filming "Ocean's Eleven" in Las Vegas, they spent their nights onstage at the Sands Hotel in seemingly impromptu shows of songs and patter that became wildly popular.
"Christmas With the Rat Pack — Live at the Sands" resurrects Sinatra, Martin, Davis Jr. and a bygone glamorous era with a score of songs they made famous.
Interspersed among signature classics such as Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon," Martin's "That's Amore" and Davis Jr.'s "Mr. Bojangles" are seasonal selections that include "Merry Little Christmas," "Baby, It's Cold Outside," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "White Christmas."
Accompanying Frank, Dino and Sammy are a 12-piece orchestra and a trio of elegantly gowned females.
The women, Ward says, "are an additional dash of something that wasn't present in the Rat Pack shows, and they can do a little bit of carrying on with Dean and Sammy."
Much of the show's dialogue and comedic bits are drawn from the original shows that were preserved on sound records, Ward says. But, he adds, he and his fellow cast members will transmit that air of spontaneity that made the original shows such a hit with Las Vegas audiences.
A long-time fan of Sinatra and his music, Ward didn't need to do a great deal of research before taking on the role five years ago. He did read some biographies on Sinatra to get a better understanding of the show's era. He tries to create an image of Sinatra without becoming an impersonator.
"It's a bit of a fine line. If, in your imagination, you are trying to be him, it goes off the rails and you're not doing justice to him or me. I try to create an atmosphere where I'm not doing anything too like him."
But, ultimately, he says: "It's really about the music. I tried to make it about being in the swing of the music."

This is the face of the man police want to speak to after a Rolex watch was stolen from a jewellers.
The watch was stolen from the shop in Surrey Street, Croydon, by two men who went in and asked to look at the timepiece.
They returned to the store a while later and asked to look at the watch again.
It is believed that they then swapped the watch with a replica before leaving the shop with the original.
Staff realised a short time later and then called the police to report the theft.
The crime happened on January 28 but police have only just issued this image of 23-year-old Frederick Webb.
Mr Webb is also wanted for failing to appear at Guildford Crown Court on May 23, for an unrelated offence.
Anyone with any information about the whereabouts of the 23-year-old should call the police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.


text: Jan. 1 marked the start of Cervical Health Awareness Month. In support of this annual educational effort, Health Net, Inc. (NYSE: HNT) is working to increase awareness regarding the importance of women having regular Pap tests, as well as the importance of both boys and girls receiving HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccines. "We really want women to know that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable female cancers," says Jonathan Scheff, M.D., chief medical officer for Health Net, Inc. "Abnormal cell changes can be detected through Pap tests, and precancerous lesions can be treated and cured before they develop into cancer," he adds. "As a result, cervical cancer, once one of the most common cancers affecting U.S. women, now ranks 14 th in frequency – according to the National Institutes of Health." Scheff also commented on the HPV vaccine, noting, "Many people are under the impression that the HPV vaccine is just for girls, and are unaware that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the vaccine for boys as well. As part of Cervical Health Awareness Month, which is sponsored by the National Cervical Cancer Coalition, Health Net is focusing on sharing this information." HPV Vaccine According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), the most important risk factor for cervical cancer is infection from HPV, a sexually transmitted disease that is spread via skin-to-skin contact. The ACS also notes that the risk of contracting HPV is increased among women who've had many sexual partners, or who have a partner who's had many partners. The National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) reports that 6 million new HPV infections occur annually in the United States, and about 20 million people – men and women – are thought to have an active HPV infection at any given time. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), other factors that can increase the risk of cervical cancer include smoking, having HIV, using birth control pills for five or more years, and giving birth to three or more children.

Photo radar changes in St. Albert
With a new contractor comes different technologies, techniques
Saturday, Aug 23, 2014 06:00 am
Sharp-eyed motorists in St. Albert may have noticed some different photo radar techniques being used around the city in recent weeks.
At the beginning of July, Global Traffic Group took over the contract to provide photo enforcement in St. Albert, bringing with them a different way of doing things.
Gone are the photo radar vans everyone knew to look out for � Global Traffic Group has different vehicles, many of which are pick-up trucks.
They use different equipment that allows them to position their vehicles further back from the road.
�There�s absolutely nothing secretive that we do,� said Richard Kracher, general manager of Global Traffic Group at the company�s office in Devon.
�The most profound change is that it�s switched from radar to laser,� Kracher said.
While radar has its place � it�s handier in a moving police vehicle, for example � Kracher said they believe for a stationary unit, laser is the preferable tool.
�The reason for that is that it�s vehicle specific,� he said. Radar is designed to detect all the moving things � a laser is aimed at a specifically targeted item.
Their photo laser units also have a higher range of operation than photo radar.
�Laser generates its own light and can operate in distances exceeding 400 metres,� he said.
�In essence the immediate change you see at the side of the road is that the vehicle that is detecting your speed may very well be back in a position you didn�t expect,� Kracher said.
Rather than pointing the unit out the front window like is usually done with radar, they need an open air shot and so will aim out a side window or a back window.
�The vehicles tend to be pointed either perpendicular to the road or facing the other way. That�s not trickery at all, it�s just the way it functions,� he said.
While they�re not trying to hide the vehicles Kracher said, rather than people just slowing down for speed traps, they�d like to see an overall change in driver behaviour to slow down.
The laser units are made up of professional grade cameras and lenses, �the best law enforcement laser we think exists� and a tablet.
The officers operating the unit can aim it at the specific vehicles � it�s a fairly hands-on procedure for the in-vehicle units.
There are also smaller units that can go in other objects, like pylons or, as seen lately in St. Albert, garbage can-like structures, that will have an officer stationed nearby.
�We�re not limited to just vehicles on the side of the road,� Kracher said.
Locations for speed enforcement aren�t determined by Global Traffic Group. They get locations which are signed off on by the RCMP � though there�s input from the city as well.
Kracher says they will try and randomize which locations they hit when.
Global Traffic Group will be in St. Albert seven days a week at various times of day.
Many people do not realize that the operators who work the units are actually peace officers.
�The peace officers that are operating are indeed duly appointed Alberta peace officers,� Kracher said. Peace officers are appointed by the provincial government.
The contractor will also take charge of the intersection cameras, and will be installing their own technology at the same intersections where there are already red light and speed on green enforcement.
�It�s a technology we�ve imported from Italy,� Kracher said, noting their system is being used already in Spruce Grove.
Their method uses two camera lenses to simulate 3-D computer vision and uses that to establish the speed a vehicle is going.
�All speed is determined by distance over time, what this one does is it does it optically as opposed to something like radar, laser or loops on the road,� Kracher said.
The use of photogrammetry means they don�t have to dig up the road to install the equipment, and it integrates the speed measurements and photos.
The contract, which was announced by the city in May, lasts for five years and took effect July 2.
Fair warning to drivers � with the start of school will come an increased presence in school zones, something Kracher noted they�re usually asked to do in September in the communities where they work.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- One of Sarasota's oldest bait and tackle shops has been shut down-- at least for now. Hart's Landing, located near the base of the Ringling Bridge, was deemed structurally unsafe late Thursday afternoon and immediately closed off from the public.
"It's been an iconic spot along Sarasota Bay, but now because it's shut down, it's a big disappointment among many fishermen," says Jack Asbell, a local Sarasota angler.
Jack Azbell was fishing on the pier late Thursday afternoon when he saw the city closing down the popular bait and tackle shop.
"Just saw the code enforcement wrapping the place up with caution tape."
He's not the only angler that's enjoyed the popular Hart's Landing over the years.
James Philips and his 5 year old son fish at this very spot under the bridge 4 to 5 times a week. He depends on the shop for bait, snacks, and restrooms for his son.
"It's going to make it very inconvenient for people that do come out here and get there bait out there; and now there's no restroom facilities."
The city's building official says recently inspectors found that the shops' foundation pilings are deteriorating—4 piles are at a 100 percent lossand another at 80 percent. It was ultimately deemed unsafe for people to be inside the shop or on the dock.
But locals hope it's not the end for the dock and bait shop which has been here since the sixties.
"It's been here too long for them just to destroy it," said Alberta Ferguson, another local angler.
"I brought my son down here in the past fishin' when he was a little kid," agreed Sarasota resident Mark Haner. "He just graduated from high school so it's got some fond memories for me."
The city building official says they want to do everything they can to preserve the shop.
In the meantime, they're working with the county on how to add temporary restroom facilities on site.
The city says they've hired a structural engineer to do a more comprehensive study on Hart's Landing to see how they can move forward.

Taurus TCP 738
Just bought a Taurus TCP 738 to accompany my berretta nano 9mm and my Davis Industries D32 derringer . What do you taurus owners think about the taurus 738
After a rough start, and a trip back to the factory, it's my tee-shirt and shorts pocket companion. Reliable and very accurate too!
I've had my TCP for about a year. No problems to speak of after about 150 rounds, cleanings and oiling. I guess that was the "breaking in" that I've read about. I may not be as confident with the
.380 as with .40, 9mm or .38Sp. that I sometimes carry. As de4nra mentioned it is good to have in tee shirt & shorts weather. Shoot it a lot. See how it works out and enjoy carrying it!
Thanks for the info
Mine has a C after the serial no. I don't really have any other info but I do know the earlier models had some issues, so far this one has worked just fine, I have put one box of Monarch fmj w/metal case and about 25 or 30 rds of Rem. UMC fmj w/brass case. I haven't tried and hollow points in yet.
I have a "B" model. First round out of the pipe and it broke! Sent it back on a Monday (Taurus paid the freight) and had it back by Thursday and nary another problem. Have put several hundred rounds, HP&FMJ, through it. Flat out love it now! And its a tack driver to boot, at least at 20' :)
I have a "D" model. Put 100 rounds through mine and not one failure.
Small enough to put in my pocket when I don't want to stuff my LC9 in my waistband. For a few hundered dollars its worth it.
Bought a 738 this past weekend, time constraints allowed only about 35 rds fmj to be fired. No problems, the trigger on my gun is excellent. The sights are pretty small, so I bought some bright almost fluorescent green fingernail polish and applied to the sights. Also purchased Sticky brand pocket holster - cut hay this weekend on tractor with gun in front pocket of jeans hardly noticeable at all, same at work. I do a lot of road bicycling-20 to 50 mile rides- this gun fits in back pocket of jersey in the supplied bulldog case perfectly, the case also can hold a Samsung Galaxy S3. I have a Taurus 709 slim in 9mm as well, these compliment each other pretty well.

Next up for the RCR NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams is Sunday's Great American Race. The 56th running of the Daytona 500 airs February 23 at 1 p.m. ET on FOX and will be broadcast live on the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Satellite Radio, channel 90.
Austin Dillon Finishes in 19th Place in Duel at Daytona; Slated to Start Daytona 500 from the Pole Position on Sunday
Austin Dillon drove Richard Childress Racing's No. 3 Dow Chevrolet SS to a 19th-place finish in the first of two Duel qualifying races contested at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday evening, after leading the field to the green-flag for the 60-lap event. Dillon chose the high line at the start of the race and led the first 13 laps before a pack of cars utilizing the inside line made a charge towards the front, causing Dillon to drop to eighth in the running order. The Welcome, N.C., driver pitted for right-side tires and fuel on lap 37. Dillon and his Gil Martin-led team played a conservative strategy, ultimately posting a 19th-place finish. They will start first in Sunday's 56th running of the Daytona 500.
Start - 1 Finish - 19 Laps Led - 13 Points - N/A
"I can't say enough about Gil Martin and all of the guys on the No. 3 Dow Chevrolet Team. They have given me an extremely fast and well-handling car. We came out here tonight and did what we needed to do. We have the fastest car for Sunday and we sit on the pole."

Paul Menard Finishes Fourth in Duel 150 No. 2 at Daytona, Will Start 10th in Daytona 500
Paul Menard and the No. 27 Peak/Menards Chevrolet SS team of Richard Childress Racing had a task ahead of them before the green flag even waved over the 24-car field in the second Duel 150 at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday night. Despite posting the 10th-fastest time the previous Sunday in Daytona 500 qualifying, they were caught up in a multi-car wreck during practice on Wednesday afternoon forcing them to their back-up Chevrolet. The result was starting at the tail end of the field for the 60-lap race to determine the final starting line-up for this Sunday's Daytona 500. Menard utilized a conservative strategy for the early stages of the race to see how the back-up car was going to perform. When the field went single-file racing by lap eight, he was in 12he place. After making his only pit stop on lap 36, to only take on fuel, he returned to action in eighth place. During the white-flag lap, he worked his way to fifth and used some side drafting, decisive moves and ECR Engines power to take the checkered flag in fourth place. As a result, he will start 10th in the 56th running of the Daytona 500.
Start - 10th Finish - 4th Laps Led - 0 Points - NA
PAUL MENARD QUOTE: "The car was pretty solid and I was able to side draft pretty good with some cars out there, but not all of them. I'd try to make a run and the momentum seemed to stall out a little. When I went to make something happen to gain positions, it didn't' work out. But, we did well on our gas-only pit stop. I learned a lot of things we can use in Sunday's Daytona 500 and everybody at RCR - the fab shop, body shop, ECR engines - they build fast race cars as we have shown all Speedweeks. All of our cars have been really quick."

Ryan Newman Finishes 10th in the First Daytona Duel and Will Start 19th in the 56th Annual Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway
No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet SS driver Ryan Newman finished 10th in Thursday night's first Daytona Duel that helped determine starting positions three through 31 for Sunday's Daytona 500. Newman used the 60-lap, caution-free event to shake down his CAT Chevy for the first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race of the season. Shortly after the halfway mark, Newman raced in sixth position and reported no handling issues. The first, and only time, crew chief Luke Lambert called his driver to pit road was on lap 38 for two right-side tires and fuel. Newman returned to the track to draft with Chevrolet teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr., for the final 20 laps and crossed the line in 10th place. The result secured the 19th-starting spot in the Daytona 500 for the No. 31 Caterpillar Chevrolet team.
Start - 5 Finish - 10 Laps Led - 0 Points - N/A
"The outside lane won the race. The outside lane won the start of the race and the outside lane won the end of the race. I had a big run there at the end and I got blocked. From that point on, I just didn't want to take the risk and damage this CAT Chevrolet. It's a really good car. Like I say, my race isn't until Sunday and we will see how we do then. The guys had a good pit stop and I feel confident. All and all, I really feel good about our chances and I hope I can make another trip to Daytona's victory lane on Sunday."

On February 11th, 1979, a revolution was declared in Iran to the surprise of both many observers and participants. But what does a revolution feel like to those in its midst before the term is even used to define this great upheaval? Through a combination of archival documents and ethnographic interviews with a variety of people (including ordinary citizens who demonstrated or who stayed at home), Professor Naghmeh Sohrabi will present her preliminary findings on the theoretical and empirical issues that arise in bridging the gap between historians' understanding of the revolution (by nature a cohesive narrative) and the ways in which it was experienced (often fractured, and muddled). The talk will conclude by laying out some of the new insights that this methodology provides for understanding the Iranian revolution and revolutions in general.
Speaker: Dr Naghmeh Sohrabi, Brandeis University
Chair: Dr Roham Alvandi, LSE

Emerging coal seam gas producer
Oil and gas giant Santos, in joint venture with Petronas, and British Gas have secured approval for refineries at Gladstone at a cost of around $15 billion each.
But tensions between north-Queensland residents and the coal seam gas companies have been heightened by the detection of cancer-causing agents in drilling wells owned by coal seam gas player Origin Energy.
Bow Energy chief executive John De Stefani has labelled concerns over cancer-causing chemicals found in eight of Origin Energy's exploratory coal-seam gas wells in Queensland a "beat up".
He said Bow Energy and most coal seam gas developers do not use the banned chemicals at its Bowen Basin tenements, and hastens to add that chemicals discovered in wells are banned substances in Queensland.
"It was half a cup in an Olympic-sized swimming pool, it's very small," Mr De Stefani said.
"It's an isolated event that has been blown out of proportion."
Last Friday Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke announced tight conditions on the two approved projects, with 300 conditions imposed on Santos and BG Group's plans to process gas at the Curtis Island site.
Bow is currently investigating the conditions, but its deposits are found far from water reserves in the Great Artesian Basin, where the majority of community concerns have been voiced.
The company hopes to seek development approval for gas fields in the coal-rich Bowen Basin and pipelines in 2011, but negotiations between coal producers and coal seam gas companies over jointly held land access approvals are causing tensions in the state.
A senior mining partner of a Brisbane-based law firm said the tensions have heightened with the approval of the Curtis Island projects and could cause delays as the proponents fight for their competing interest in the deposits.
Bow's deposits overlap coal mining tenements held by more than 20 coalminers in the region, and the company has commenced negotiations to settle the rights over the deposits.
Mr De Stefani has ruled out a challenge to the legislative framework that surrounds the issue despite industry concerns that law does not serve the needs of either of the rival industries.
"The legislation is not conducive to efficiency in the way these arrangements work," Mr De Stefani said.
"We're not going to force legislation changes, we're focused on co-development outcomes with the coalminers."
While the recent approvals have been a win for the industry, two further projects proposed by Shell and Origin face several hurdles if they are likely to gain approval.
"The construction of more than two [projects] at the same time will be a logistical challenge, with the same contractor doing the same projects," Mr De Stefani said.
He says further consolidation is likely as Santos and British Gas move towards final investment decision on the Curtis Island projects.
"I can see consolidation happening, it's just a matter of when," Mr De Stefani said.
Bow Energy is looking to finalise commercial offtake agreements with major players, for gas held primarily in the Bowen Basin.
"For us it's a matter of working the scenarios and pulling the trigger," Mr De Stefani said.

In the new on-set picture shared by Vin Diesel, the six-time WWE world champion is seen bringing a machine gun as he is seemingly ready to conduct a raid with some other bounty hunters.
Another revealing photo from the set of "Riddick" sequel has been shared by Vin Diesel. Taking to his Facebook page, the actor who plays the titular character in the film posted a new on-set image that uncovers a first look at WWE star David Bautista as a mercenary leader.
In the picture, Bautista is featured donning a full mercenary costume complete with a mask, a weapon vest and boots. He is seen carrying a machine gun while seemingly getting ready to launch an attack with some other masked mercs.
In the untitled Chronicles of Riddick sequel, Diesel is set to reprise his role as Richard B. Riddick. Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before.
Soon, mercenaries from throughout the galaxy descend on Riddick. With his enemies right where he wants them, the anti-superhero unleashes a vicious attack of vengeance before returning to his home planet of Furya to save it from destruction.
Joining Diesel and Bautista in the cast ensemble are Katee Sackhoff as Nordic mercenary Dahl, and Jordi Molla as supervillain Santana. Karl Urban, meanwhile, will return as Lord Vaako. David Twohy serves as the director in addition to penning the script for the sequel, which still hasn't set a release date yet.

The fall semester kicked off this week at the Harvard Allston Education Portal with over 110 Allston-Brighton youth and students from the Gardner Pilot Academyenrolled in its mentoring program.
Building on Harvard's commitment to education beyond the classroom, the program provides academic mentoring by Harvard undergraduates to Allston-Brighton children and youth in the subject areas of math, science, and writing. More than 25 Harvard undergraduates serve as Harvard Allston Mentors each semester.
The curriculum for the program is guided by the Ed Portal's Faculty Director Professor Robert Lue, Harvard professor of the practice of molecular and cellular biology and director of Life Sciences Education; educators from the Harvard's Life Sciences Outreach program; and Dr. Tom Jehn, Sosland Director of the Harvard College Writing Program.
Mentoring sessions take place once a week during the semester and are held on the same day and time each week. Different mentoring options are available depending on a mentees' grade-level. For example, Science Club is available to children in 1st through 5th grade. Activities may be interdisciplinary, incorporating writing, math and the visual arts as appropriate for the grade level. Whereas traditional mentoring and academic subject area mentoring is offered to high school students. The student can work one-on-one with a mentor to develop projects focused on an individual interest or the session could be highly content specific based on the subject area.
As part of the mentoring program, students from the Gardner Pilot Academy's after-school program also come to the Ed Portal four to five times a semester to engage in hands-on inquiry-based science enrichment activities in small groups with the mentors.
The 10-week long semester concludes in the beginning of December and includes a Student Showcase and Open House where mentees and mentors share their work and projects from the semester and host interactive displays and demonstrations for their families, friends, and anyone in the community. Save the date for this semester's Ed Portal Student Showcase and Open House on Sunday, December 2nd.

Have Jeep Questions? Ask a Jeep Repair Expert for Answers
Hello and welcome to JustAnswer!
What is it doing? Does the blower motor blow air but it's not hot? Or do you get no noise or airflow when you turn it on?
Did you check the bottle to make sure it's full even though you may not have seen any leaks? It's very important that you check the bottle, it's very common for the coolant level to be low when you don't see a leak on the ground.
If the coolant is full the next thing you'll want to do is run the engine until it's full hot and feel the heater hoses at the firewall to see if they are hot. If there is a large difference in temperature between the hoses it's because the heater core is plugged and would need to be replaced or flushed.
If the hoses are hot at the firewall and you have no heat at all the next thing to do would be to check the operation of the blend door actuator. This is the door on the heater box that changes the temperature. The actuator or control head may have failed or the door itself could be broken.
If you need more help please hit the reply button rather than opening another question. I've closed the duplicate that was opened.
The blend door is inside the heater box, and the actuator is mounted to the outside of the box and drives the door. The blend door actuator is located direcly on top of the heater box next to the heater core, and requires instrument panel removal to get to the actuator.
Before digging into it make sure fuse 25 in the fuse box in the dash is good. if it is you could remove the a/c control head from the dash, find the dark green/yellow wire in the control head connector, start the engine and momentariily ground this wire a few times. This would drive the actuator and the temperature should change. If it does you know the problem is in the control head, but if it doesn't change and you do have good hot heater hoses the next step would be to remove the instrument panel and inspect the actuator and door where the actuator engages it.

A knotty problem involving the EMV chip card standard, debit card transaction routing, and the Durbin Amendment may take a crucial step toward resolution next month when the country's two largest card networks are expected to indicate whether they will support a potential solution proposed by a debit-network group, according to sources.
Complicating matters, however, is an April 1, 2013 deadline set by the major card brands for when U.S. merchant processors must be capable of handling EMV transactions. The deadline calls on processors to be capable of processing a new data field containing EMV authorization information.
Processing EMV debit transactions could be an expensive and complex affair without the proposed solution, sources say. Even with it, an extension of the deadline will likely be necessary to allow processors time to implement the solution, says one source close to the matter.
The possible solution comes from a working group of the Secure Remote Payment Council, a trade group representing electronic funds transfer networks. Representatives of 14 networks have fashioned a proposal for a so-called common application that would allow merchants to have the routing choice mandated by the Durbin Amendment and would also make it easier for issuers to switch networks or add new ones.
EMV, which refers to the Europay-MasterCard-Visa chip card standard, will be introduced in the United States over the next several years according to deadlines set by the major card brands. But unlike mag-stripe cards, the global EMV standard , which is widely deployed in Europe, Canada, and Asia, does not allow for the Durbin requirement that debit cards must offer merchants a choice of at least two unaffiliated networks on which to route transactions. Each EMV application is proprietary to a card brand, so while multiple payment methods may be available on the app, it supports only one network.
"The issue with EMV is that the technology can't comply with U.S. law," says Terry Dooley, senior vice president and chief information officer at the Johnston, Iowa-based Shazam Network, an SRPC member. "We need to make sure the technology complies with U.S. law."
The proposed common app would attack this problem by specifying a method for EMV transaction data to be accepted at a merchant terminal, sent to a processor, and then processed against a table of bank identification numbers to determine which networks the issuer belongs to and which one the merchant prefers. A separate solution would address a problem involving so-called issuer portability. With EMV, issuers can't change networks or add a new network without writing or acquiring a new application and reissuing cards, an expensive proposition when each card contains a microchip.
A further complication stems from the question of whether Visa Inc. and MasterCard Inc. will support the common app. If they don't, it will be up to individual debit networks to support the common app on their own or an app of their own devising. That could fragment the market and make it harder for the debit networks to compete, "which is what the merchants and issuers don't want," says one observer who asked that his name not be used. But even if the two network giants accept the common solution, processors will have their work cut out for them in trying to deploy it by April 1, sources say.
A decision from Visa and MasterCard is expected by Jan. 18, according to sources. "It's not inappropriate to say [the debit networks] are waiting on Visa and MasterCard," says the observer. A spokesperson for Visa was not available to comment regarding the January deadline. MasterCard did not respond to a Digital Transactions News inquiry.
Also involved in the issue is the EMV Migration Forum, which is part of the Smart Card Alliance, a chip card trade group based in Princeton Junction, N.J. The Forum has created a debit working group, which comprises 116 individuals from 51 organizations, to address issues stemming from EMV and debit. The SRPC is working with the debit working group to craft a solution to the Durbin problem and for issuer portability. "Everyone's acutely aware of the urgency of addressing the problem," says Randy Vanderhoof, executive director at the Smart Card Forum. "We're struggling to find common ground."

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
hi,when a power outage or power surge the control board is one of the first to go out
When we came back from our holiday I noticed that some of the fuses had tripped. All but the Spa circuit went back on OK.
did you get an error ?
We noticed that the fan on the oven wouldn't go off. This evening we tried to cook something and the oven wouldn't heat up. The light works, the clock works and can be adjusted it does everything other than heat up. There is no error message
a shortage is most likely the cause on the control board
The cook top works OK and shares the same power supply. I am certain that the oven has gone into Demo mode. How do we turn Demo mode off?
i have no info on that,i will option out so that another expert can better assist you.
I have just read the post.
Often this fault of the fan staying on and no heat is Element failure.

Inside CI: Quality Counts
On March 9, Miller Brewing Co. announced that it would begin packaging a large majority of its beer products in plastic bottles. Beer drinkers around the nation groaned at the news.
Sure, the plastic will allow the company to sell more of its product where glass containers are prohibited, such as stadiums, parks and beaches. And it may be a good alternative to plastic cups and aluminum cans. But for anyone who really enjoys the taste of beer, a glass bottle wins hands down. For me, it's just about the same with any beverage-give it to me in a plastic bottle, and I'll pour it in a glass. There's just something about glass that makes things taste better. It's a material indicative of the finer things in life-a material indicative of quality.
According to Joe Cattaneo, executive vice president of the Glass Packaging Institute, Miller's switch to plastic isn't anything new-it's been going on for at least two years, and the announcement is more than anything a marketing strategy. However, production and shipments of glass containers for beer products have not declined in the past two years. In fact, they've both continued to increase steadily. Recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Commerce show that shipments of glass containers for beer increased 21% between 1994 and 1999, with more than 5% of that growth occurring between 1997 and 1999 alone.
The announcement is cause for some concern, Cattaneo says, if only because it's a major glass bottle user touting certain advantages of plastic over glass. But "the plastic bottles will primarily be a stadium package, brought in to replace plastic cups," he says. And beer drinkers who appreciate quality will no doubt continue to demand glass bottles.
Glass and ceramics have always faced their share of challenges from alternative products. In some cases, the alternatives gain market share because they're less expensive, more easily attainable or more widely accepted in certain applications. But in any application where quality is at stake, ceramic and glass will continue to stand their ground.
As evidenced at some industry exhibitions and conferences, these materials are increasingly found on the cutting edge of technology; for example, one of the main topics of the upcoming American Ceramic Society (ACerS) annual meeting symposia is "Ceramics in Information Age Technologies and Systems." And at shows like Powder & Bulk Solids, which focuses on a wide range of materials and industries, ceramics and glass are increasingly stepping into the spotlight. (See pages 53-59 for previews of these two shows.)
So yes, Miller may be switching to plastic bottles. But when a situation calls for fine china, you can be certain there won't be any plastic on the table.
