The Source Audio Programmable EQ is a thoroughly modern and highly streamlined upgrade to traditional equalizer pedals. This compact, rugged, cast aluminum stompbox provides quick, hands-free access to four different user programmed EQ settings. Whatever your instrument, playing style, or genre, the Source Audio Programmable EQ is the essential tone-sculpting tool for your live rig.
The Programmable EQ packs plus or minus 18dB of range over seven frequency bands, plus an additional frequency band at 62Hz, accessible via the Octave Extend function. Engaging the Octave Extend systematically optimizes the pedal's frequency spectrum to accommodate the specific frequency range of the bass. Once you've dialed in the desired guitar or bass tone, save it in one of four programmable user presets. Each preset is easily accessible via the hands-free footswitch scrolling function. Simply hold down the footswitch and let the pedal scroll through each preset at an adjustable rate – release to engage. The pedal's MIDI input also provides remote access to user presets or engages/disengages the effect. Run a MIDI signal from your POD, Eventide Space reverb, TC Nova System or any other MIDI compatible multi-effects unit and vastly expand your tone horizon within each preset.
The Programmable EQ offers a substantial clean boost of up to 12dB. Use the clean boost for an entirely transparent volume increase or go further and give your amp the front-end push needed for an aggressive natural break-up. The relay-based true bypass footswitch provides improved reliability, remote switching capabilities, and a completely unaffected, hard wire signal in bypass mode. As a bonus, the Auto-scrolling function, which automatically scrolls between all four presets at an adjustable rate, creates unique and dramatic effects similar to sequencer of tremolo units.
The pedal runs on a 9V battery (included) or with an optional external power supply.
Perfect your tone with the Source Audio Programmable EQ! The Source Audio Programmable EQ offers the user four, selectable tonal presets. With plus or minus 18dB of range over seven bands of frequency, the Programmable EQ offers endless possibilities. Scoop your mids, boost your bass, tame your treble; anything is possible with the Source Audio Programmable EQ.

Depending on the outcome, Michael Ignatieff's first kick at the electoral can could be his last. Though the Liberal Party is arguably better equipped and positioned to fight the next election than it was under Stéphane Dion, it will take a significant shift in public opinion to bump the Grits out of the opposition benches and into government.
But while a Liberal minority does not appear in the cards at the moment, there is an opportunity for growth. An analysis of the 308 ridings in Canada indicates that as many as 23 are likely candidates for a takeover by Mr. Ignatieff and his team, increasing their standing to 100 MPs in the House of Commons.
Nineteen of the 77 seats currently occupied by the Liberals, all east of Manitoba, can be considered to be Grit "fortresses." These are held by such party luminaries as Bob Rae, John McCallum, Carolyn Bennett, Denis Coderre, and Marc Garneau.
A further 47 ridings can be classified as "secure," more than half of them in Ontario. Only five are in the West, and include the ridings of Ralph Goodale and Hedy Fry.
This gives the Liberals a hard floor of 19 seats and a soft floor of 66, leaving 11 of their currently held ridings vulnerable.
The two most vulnerable ridings are in the Montreal region: Brossard-La Prairie, held by Alexandra Mendes, and Papineau, home of Justin Trudeau. The Bloc Québécois has seen its support increase in Quebec while that of the Liberals has sunk, and strong local campaigns will be required to keep these two ridings in the Liberal fold.
Andrew Kania and Ruby Dhalla, two Brampton MPs, will also likely have a tough fight on their hands, while Ujjal Dosanjh in Vancouver South won with the slimmest of margins in 2008.
The decision of two Liberal MPs not to run again in the next election puts Kingston and the Islands (Speaker Peter Milliken) and Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca (Keith Martin) on the bubble, while the rumoured candidature of Bernard Lord, former premier of New Brunswick, means Brian Murphy could face a stiff challenge in Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe.
Elsewhere, the New Democrats can be expected to try to wrest Winnipeg North back from newly minted MP Kevin Lamoureux, while fallout from his long-gun registry vote could hurt Larry Bagnell in Yukon.
One of the more interesting ridings to watch will be Lac-Saint-Louis in western Montreal. Larry Smith, former CFL commissioner and Montreal Alouettes president now sitting in the Senate, will be running for the Conservatives in this primarily anglophone riding. He has a gap of almost 23 points to overcome if he wants to defeat Liberal MP Francis Scarpaleggia. The success of the new Tory strategy meant to attract English Quebec could rest on Mr. Smith's shoulders.
Mr. Ignatieff's political fate, however, will be decided in the 23 ridings the Liberals have a good chance of stealing from the Conservatives, New Democrats, and Bloc.
Four of these seats are found in British Columbia. The candidature of Green Party Leader Elizabeth May makes Saanich-Gulf Islands a toss-up, while provincial polling trends put Conservative MP Andrew Saxton's riding of North Vancouver within the Liberal Party's grasp. Four nominees are currently vying for the Liberal nomination there.
The three-way race in Vancouver Kingsway makes the riding one to keep an eye on as well, while NDP MP Bill Siksay's decision not to run again in Burnaby-Douglas gives the Liberals an outside chance of capturing the NDP vote and the seat.
In Atlantic Canada, Conservative-held Egmont and Saint John could fall thanks to the soaring Liberal polling numbers in the region, while a few Bloc seats in Quebec, including Gatineau, could be at play. Martin Cauchon will try to get himself back into Parliament by way of Outremont, a riding for which the NDP will fight tooth-and-nail.
But it is in Ontario where the Liberals' electoral hopes lie, as at least 10 ridings in the province could switch allegiance to their side. There are the two very close races in the Kitchener region, and another four in and around Toronto. This includes Vaughan, where a surprisingly strong Liberal campaign only barely lost out to Conservative challenger Julian Fantino in a recent by-election.
As in Yukon, the long-gun registry vote that took place in September could be a factor in the two Northern Ontario ridings of Sudbury and Thunder Bay-Rainy River. Could John Rafferty's vote for scrapping the registry push some NDP support to the Liberals, and could Glenn Thibeault's vote for keeping the registry prop up the Tories and allow the Liberals to come up the middle?
If the next campaign goes well for Michael Ignatieff and his party manages to keep all of their ridings and win the targeted 23, that would still leave his party as the Official Opposition. If the party reaches 120 seats, however, a minority government becomes very possible.
There are another 54 ridings in which the Liberals have a long-shot chance of pulling off an upset. Does tanking NDP support in Atlantic Canada put Megan Leslie at risk in Halifax? Could the Liberal by-election victory in Winnipeg North spread to Winnipeg South? And could the Liberals return to ridings they have held in the past like Ottawa-Orléans, Richmond, Miramichi, Kenora, Pontiac, and Glengarry-Prescott-Russell?
In the end, a majority government seems completely out of the question for Michael Ignatieff. Adding up all of the ridings currently held by the Liberals and those in which they are likely to be a factor in the coming election puts them at 154 seats, one short of the Promised Land.
But a gain of 20 or more seats would be a moral victory of sorts for the Liberal Leader, and may not mean the end of his tenure. Both Lester Pearson and Wilfrid Laurier lost elections before becoming prime minister, and if Michael Ignatieff performs well in the next campaign and begins to be seen more widely as a viable alternative to Stephen Harper, he might have a future at 24 Sussex after all.
This is the fourth of a five-part series analyzing the electoral chances of each of the five federal parties. In the last three weeks, we looked at the Greens , the Bloc Québécois , and the New Democrats . Next week, we'll assess the Conservatives.

Capello hoping for a 'miracle' in Turin
Juventus coach Fabio Capello insists the Champions League quarter-final tie with Arsenal is far from over even though the English side take a 2-0 lead into Wednesday`s second leg in Turin.
Juve were outplayed at Highbury a week ago, with goals by Cesc Fabregas and Thierry Henry putting the Gunners in the driving seat for a semi-final place.
The Serie A leaders will have to improve immeasurably if they are to turn the tie around and Capello believes his side have the ability to do just that.
'Miracles do happen,' said Capello. 'We are convinced we can do something extraordinary. In football anything can happen.
'People think we are dead in this competition - they are mistaken. We can do it, we have the determination to do great things.'
Juve have failed to progress through to the semi-final stage of the Champions League in either of the past two campaigns.
The Bianconeri will be hoping to avoid a second successive elimination at the hands of English opponents, having been knocked out last season by eventual champions Liverpool.
The game will be all the more challenging for Capello`s men considering they will be without four key players.
Captain Alessandro Del Piero, who missed the first leg, has failed to recover from a thigh injury and has not been included in Capello's squad.
The Turin giants will also be without suspended trio Jonathan Zebina, Mauro Camoranesi and former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira.
However, Capello does not believe his players should use this as an excuse.
'I am happy with the team I have,' said Capello. 'I prefer to be optimistic and I think we can do well.
'We are ready but it`s certainly the most difficult result to turn around since I joined Juve.'
Capello is confident his team have learned from the mistakes they made at Highbury - Juve struggled in both attack and defence, and ended the game with nine men following the sending-offs of Zebina and Camoranesi.
'We are well aware of the errors we made,' he said. 'We have learnt from them and with respect to my players` indiscipline, I hope it doesn`t happen again.
'As for the other aspects of the game, concentration and determination will be crucial. We respect Arsenal and we know they are strong but so are we.'
Capello acknowledged his attacking duo David Trezeguet and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will need to show their very best form if his team are to go through.
Arsenal have only conceded two goals in Europe this season while Juve have struggled of late to find the back of the net.
'I hope we can create more goalscoring opportunities than we did in the opening leg,' he said.
'It's obviously going to be more difficult considering the opponents we face but we must try.'
At least Juve have Czech Republic playmaker Pavel Nedved available in Turin.
Nedved returns having missed the first leg through suspension and will be responsible for driving Juve forward from midfield.
'We will have to attack from the very beginning,' said Capello. 'Nedved is a player who can change the game's rhythm and he is crucial for us.'
Juve will also have to hold their ground in defence for an Arsenal goal could all but end their hopes of progressing.
'If Arsenal score, we will need a double miracle,' said Capello.
Juve's defence will have to keep a close eye on Arsenal captain Henry, a familiar face at the Delle Alpi having played for the Italians earlier in his career before being sold to the Gunners.
When questioned about Henry's extra motivation when playing against his former side, Capello said: 'Having seen Henry's overall performances this season, it would seem as though he does well every time he plays against Juventus.'
However, Capello did admit Juve made a mistake in letting Henry go in the first place.
'With young players, you can make errors,' he said. 'You need patience and time for players to mature. But sometimes you make mistakes and other times it works well.'

Sad to see "more" crime listed.
But happy to see more, "suspicious-crap" being checked into.
thank you!!!
Keep up the good work.

Our PD sure wastes a lot of time on the suspicious B/S. Maybe we employ too many cops. But I guess it keeps the coffee shops busy.

Amen to that, Ron. And when there's a decline in patronage to Danville businesses because folks are tired of being unjustly harrassed by Danville's finest, we may need to employ more cops to keep the economy humming, because the cops will be the only one's left to keep those coffee shops busy.

Ron, You are obviously not a very smart person. As a citizen of this town I like to see that our Police department is handling suspicious activity. I believe officers get a break for meals. Just like anyone else does. Matter a fact wish I had more opportunity's to buy them all a cup a coffee once in while. Thank You DPD..

Went for my regular Botox treatment to soften furrows between eyes. The RN suggested Dysport, said it was stronger, lasted longer, etc. Ahe also said there was a $75 rebate (this was September 2010).
Disastrous results. Dysport caused my eyebrows to drop, which intensified the furrows between my eyebrows (try this at home: put your fingers above eyebros and gently push down. See?). It was so bad, even my husband was shocked, and he never notices much.
Went back for some corrective injections (per the RN) of Botox, but the Dysport was so strong it overrode any Botox benefits.
FIVE months later, I'm still frozen in a scowl. Horrible.
Adding insult to injury, I applied for the rebate, sent in all the receipts, etc, and never received it.
Highly recommend steering clear of Dysport. It may last longer - but if the results are not what was intended, you've got a loooooong wait for it to wear off. Plus, I'm wondering if these months of furrowing is creating permanent creases. Middle-aged skin is not resilient - what makes us think it will spring back?
Never Again - Washington, DC

Went for my regular Botox treatment to soften furrows between eyes. The RN suggested Dysport, said it was stronger, lasted longer, etc. Ahe also said there was a $75 rebate (this was September 2010).
I appreciate all the responses from surgeons...
I appreciate all the responses from surgeons taking the time to answer my question. I do want to make it clear that I spared no expense and went to a very well-known dermatologist practice here in DC, and to an RN with literally hundreds of successful "before and afters" in her portfolio. Believe me, when it comes to my appearance, no corners are cut.
However, this RN *did* fall short of success, and I am still furious when I think of how many months I have suffered - looking angry and old because of the injections. Finally - eight months later - the effects are wearing off.
So I am here to tell you - Dysport lasts a looooong time. Great news if it's successful - a disaster if not. My final analysis is that I will stay with Botox, if only because there is a shorter turnaround if something goes wrong. Worth the money and the more frequent office visits.
When I returned for her to see the results of the Dysport, she said "Look on the bright sided, it will wear off." NOT acceptable attitude.

Severe forms of rash may progress to widespread
peeling of the skin which can be life threatening.
These serious skin rashes are often preceded by
headache, fever, body aches (flu‑like symptoms).
If you develop a rash or these skin symptoms,

When we first got the keys to the new house, i pretty much went straight form the Lawyer's office back to the house to pull up all the carpet. Part of me was dying to see what was under there, while another part of me was dreading to see what was under there. You really never know what you'll discover when you pull up carpet that someone else has put down in an old house.
Here's what i found, some of it was quite a surprise for me:
The Good - I started pulling up carpet on the main floor and i got really excited when i found that the original 100 year old quarter sawn white oak was still intact. I got even more excited when i realized the living room also had a beautiful hardwood border inlaid around the perimeter. As i peeled back the carpet i felt like i was hitting the reno jackpot.
The wood was dull, dirty and covered in paint splatters, but hopefully they could be refinished. I was feeling pretty good...That is until i hit The Bad.
The Bad - Turns out the closet in the foyer isn't original. I already figured as much, because the house has two foyers (one after the other), which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I know in the other neighbourhood houses we looked at, there would be one large entry hall, often with a fireplace in it. The kind of hall where you could put a large Christmas tree or a grand piano if you wanted too. Well ours once upon a time was like that too. At some point the corner fireplace was removed to put in a double coat closet. And once i removed the carpet i discovered the large ugly concrete remains of where the corner fireplace once stood. You can see it under the broom in the picture below. If i wanted to refinish the floors, i would need to find a way to cover up the concrete.
As i worked my way up the house pulling off carpet, i learned a lot. First i learned that 30 year old carpet smells and gives me big red hives. Secondly i learned that the builders of this house used the best stuff on the main floor (all quarter sawn white oak with herringbone and inlaid borders), meh stuff on the second floor (mix of rift cut and flat cut red oak), and cheap stuff on the third floor (soft wood). Even the stairs and landings used cheaper wood the high up you went. The stairs from main to second were ash, and the stairs from second to third were soft wood.
The Ugly - Unfortunately the second floor hardwood was completely shot. They had been sanded down to the point where nails and sharp shards of wood were beginning to stick up and become quite dangerous. This was not salvageable.
Decisions, decisions, decisions - I knew i couldn't leave the second floor as is, and wasn't sure if i could salvage the beautiful main floor hardwood, i worried about the cost to get the floors back to a safe and presentable state.
Re-carpeting would be the easiest and cheapest option, to recarpet everywhere that i had just pulled carpet off, would probably run 8K for anything decent. I however am not a fan of carpet (the big red hives were still fresh in my memory), and i felt that carpeting over the splintery second floor, is like burying your problems. I knew replacing the hardwood everywhere would be ridiculously expensive, and frankly not something i was willing to entertain. So i decided to use the same sort of ingenuity the builders of the house used.
Here was my plan - Restore the hardwood on the main floor, and pray to the reno gods, that the floors had enough left for another sanding, and more importantly that the hardwood in the closet could be used to patch over the concrete, where the fireplace once was. Replace the hardwood on the second floor with what would have always been there, 2" wide red oak strips in a mix of rift and flat cut then as a cost saving measure - paint the third floor floors.
After talking to many other hardwood guys, who encouraged me to just replace it all with pre-finished hardwood (um...NO!), i finally found Bill from Smithwood Floors. And i'm glad i did, cause this is what my floors look like now:
Living Room:
Patch over the concrete remains of a fireplace, made up of pieces salvaged from the closet:
The hallway:
I'm over the moon with how the floors look now.

Yoho wants to cut off aid to Mexico amid immigration crisis
Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Gainesville, wants to suspend U.S. aid to Mexico amid an influx of illegal immigration at the border.
"Mexico should not be accepting American generosity with one hand and covering their eyes to the situation at the border with the other," Yoho, a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said in announcing his legislation, which has little chance of passage.
"The House of Representatives controls the 'purse strings' and if the Executive Branch refuses to address this crisis, the House of Representatives should act. In addition to us securing our border, Mexico should be securing theirs. While Mexico, as a sovereign nation, is free to act how they want---their negligence should not be rewarded with our foreign aid. Our unsecured border is a national security situation and we need to act now."

Brock Holt has been a busy man lately, and that isn't about to change this weekend.
The do-it-all utility man will make his second career start at shortstop Saturday night, replacing Stephen Drew and batting leadoff for the Boston Red Sox as they take on the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.
Holt and rookie catcher Christian Vazquez helped spark Boston to an 8-3 win in the series opener Friday, but Vazquez will get a break Saturday as David Ross starts behind the plate, batting eighth.
Also returning to the Red Sox's lineup are first baseman Mike Napoli, who will bat fourth after Mike Carp took his spot Friday, and Mookie Betts, who will start in right field and bat ninth.
Jonny Gomes also returns to the Red Sox's lineup, playing in left field and batting fifth.
Amid swirling trade rumors, right-hander Jake Peavy will take the mound for Boston, hoping to earn his second win of the season.
For the Astros, outfielder George Springer is back in Saturday's lineup after missing Friday's contest with "general soreness."
Check out both full lineups below.

ONE in five passengers is "resigned to poor service" on Britain's railways, according to a new study.
Long-term issues have resulted in "high levels of disillusionment", a report by dispute resolution organisation Ombudsman Services found.
Complaints about rail services increased by almost a third (31 per cent) to two million last year, its survey of 2,477 people suggested.
The most common complaints were over punctuality, poor customer service and overcrowding.
Public transport campaigners said it was "simply unacceptable" that some passengers were paying "thousands of pounds for poor service".
The survey reflects r ecent figures published by regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) showing that the rate of passenger complaints per 100,000 journeys between July and September last year was 13 per cent higher than the same period in 2015.
The ORR noted that methodology changes might have affected the data.
Campaign for Better Transport campaigner Lianna Etkind said late or overcrowded trains can "genuinely blight people's lives" and claimed no other service industry would " get away with treating its customers so appallingly".

DENVER, April 15, 2002 - Qwest Communications International Inc. (NYSE: Q), today issued a study by a well-known consumer advocate Ron Binz documenting customer benefits once Qwest re-enters the long-distance business. ?The Binz Report? finds that Qwest has sharply improved retail and wholesale service quality and has acted more aggressively to open its markets to competitors than other incumbent phone companies. The report concludes that policy makers should move quickly to endorse Qwest?s long distance entry once legal and technical requirements are met.
?The Binz report confirms what we have been saying all along,? said Steve Davis, Qwest senior vice president of policy and law. ?We are a different kind of company, and customers will see real savings, more choices, and the convenience of a single bill, once Qwest re-enters the long-distance market.?
Ron Binz, author of the study funded by Qwest, is a telecommunications industry analyst and former director of the Colorado Office of Consumer Counsel, the state's utility consumer advocate. Binz frequently testifies in regulatory hearings on behalf of consumers. As the former president of the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates (NASUCA), he testified before Congress on more than a dozen occasions. Binz is also president of the Competition Policy Institute (CPI), a Washington, D.C. based non-profit organization focused on bringing competition to the telecommunications sector.
Binz noted that Qwest?s actions create a favorable attitude toward competition and competitors, often breaking ranks with other incumbent local companies. Qwest?s positions on recent FCC issues such as collocation policies, along with its decision to terminate its membership in the United States Telecommunications Association are cited as evidence of the policy shift, which Binz attributes to the influence of the company?s out-of-region competitive lines of business.
Binz noted that the most recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reports show the level of competition in Qwest-served states exceeds the national average. His report cites several Qwest states as examples of robust competition, especially in less populated areas. Data show that, at the end of December 2001, local competitors had captured nearly 16 percent of all access lines in states where Qwest is a local provider.
The FCC reports market penetration by competitors in Iowa, Minnesota, Utah and Colorado is surpassed by only five other states, including New York and Texas, both of which have already received permission for the incumbent carrier to provide long-distance service.
?The experience in New York and Texas, the first two states in which the FCC approved long-distance applications, shows consumers benefit greatly from competition,? said Binz. ?That translates to better service and lower prices.?
Binz determined customers have more choices for both local and long-distance service when the local telephone company is allowed in the long-distance business. In addition to more choice, consumers will be able obtain all their telecommunications services from a single company.
Binz?s analysis is consistent with that of other consumer interest organizations, including TRAC, and Consumer Action. Consumer Action, an independent consumer non-profit organization, found that long-distance rates are increasing everywhere except in states where the local telephone provider has been approved to offer competitive long-distance services, such as Texas and New York. The study found that consumers in these states were offered rates for basic service plans that were up to 66 percent lower than the big long-distance companies? plans.
Additionally, Qwest?s long-distance re-entry will save customers throughout its local service territory more than $1 billion annually, or approximately $70 to $170 per residential customer, according to a study by Professor Jerry A. Hausman, director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Telecommunications Economics Research Program.
Also included in Binz?s 83-page analysis:
- Qwest has made progress in improving retail and wholesale service quality since acquiring US WEST.
- Competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) give Qwest high marks for its flexibility and willingness to work with competitors.
- Qwest is positively distinguishing itself from Verizon, SBC and BellSouth, in its positions on competition issues.
Qwest is making significant progress toward receiving federal approval to re-enter the long-distance market. Qwest has completed a critical and comprehensive systems test in Arizona as well as a similar comprehensive systems test covering its 13 other local service states. Qwest expects to file its first application with the FCC within weeks.
Qwest has improved customer service for seven consecutive quarters. A report by the FCC found that Qwest leads the industry in service quality. In December 2001, the FCC issued its "Quality of Service of the Local Operating Companies" report, which showed that Qwest was first among the major local service providers in four of the seven critical customer service categories measured by the FCC and that Qwest improved in six of the seven.
When Qwest acquired U S WEST, the company had to divest itself of its long-distance operations in the 14 western states where U S WEST provided local service. Under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Qwest can re-enter the long-distance business once its application to the FCC has been approved.

2010 Bowman Chrome Bryce Harper Superfractor on eBay (again)
Without a doubt, the only person to receive more hype in their young career than Stephen Strasburg is Bryce Harper. Fresh off consensus 2010 Golden Spikes award, given out to the years best amateur player, and his Number 1 overall selection by the Washington Nationals in this year's MLB Draft, this 17-year-old phenom has caught the eyes of the media and made believers out of many baseball fans.
When Topps announced the addition of the USA set in their 2010 Bowman release, collectors began to speculate about the possibilities of Haper being included in the set – and the possibilities of the Harper Superfractor.
Harper has had previously released USA themed cards released by Upper Deck in 2008 and 2009, along with a promotional 2009 Bowman AFLAC card handed out at the 2008 AFLAC All-American game. Not until now, has anyone released a real "chase" card like the Superfractor.
The 2010 Bowman Chrome USA Bryce Harper Superfractor is currently (back) on eBay. Much like it's much publicized Strasburg counterpart, it's original listings were all ended due to improper and false bidding. The current auction, at $4,600 with the reserve not met, is just a fraction of what the Strasburg superfractor sold for. Red refractor version of Harper, which are numbered to 5, have been selling anywhere from $2,200 (ungraded) to $13,000 (BGS Pristine).
This card certainly has the potential of reaching near-Strasburgian heights in regards to price, however, I am not sure how well the price will maintain once Harper is included in a Draft version of Bowman, presumably at the end of this year. Hopefully, as an autographed version.

Published Editorial
Give foreign investors legitimate tax benefits
The Economic Times
Sudhir Kapadia
National Tax Leader, EY
The finance ministry's move last November to notify Cyprus as notified jurisdictional area forced Cyprus to send its officials here to negotiate a solution. It used the provision under Section 94A of the Income-Tax Act that provides a toolbox of countermeasures on transactions with persons located in a "non-cooperative" jurisdiction.
Action was taken as Cyprus had failed to provide information sought by Indian tax authorities under the exchange of information provisions of India's tax treaty with Cyprus. The notification implies that the deduction of expenses on transactions with Cyprus residents would be allowed subject to stringent conditions, and any payments made to Cyprus residents would be subject to a high withholding tax rate of 30 per cent. India and Cyprus are now negotiating amendments to the tax treaty, pending which the notification has been kept in abeyance. What lies behind this new-found belligerence by the finance ministry on bilateral tax agreements?
The answer lies in the OECD's 2013 report on Base Erosion and Profit Sharing (Beps). The report is a "game changer" because it recognizes that globalization of business has enabled multinational enterprises (MNEs) to minimize their tax burden.
It has enabled centralization of several income-producing functions at a regional or global level into jurisdictions with a significantly lower tax burden. Thus, MNEs are legitimately able to minimize their tax burden under the current tax rules if significant economic activities are done in higher tax jurisdictions. The Beps report also recognizes that the interaction of different tax rules sometimes results in unintended double non-taxation.
The Beps report recognizes that these weaknesses put the existing consensus-based framework at risk and a bold move by policymakers is necessary to prevent worsening problems. The fear is that unilateral action by countries, ostensibly to protect their tax base, will result in global tax chaos and re-emergence of multiple taxation of the same profits of an MNE.
The Beps report reckons treaty abuse to be a big concern. Tight anti-abuse clauses in the treaty coupled with the exercise of taxing rights under domestic laws will contribute to restoring source-taxation in many cases. It would be advisable for India to resist any unilateral action till Beps action reports are announced in the next 12-18 months.
Meanwhile, India is well within its rights to enforce information-sharing arrangements with treaty partners and responsible tax jurisdictions. Mauritius has set an example, being largely compliant with information-sharing requests and allowing finance ministry representatives to be physically present there to access and share information on offshore activities in relation to India.
Latest reports suggest that Cyprus may agree for similar steps to be taken. However, the larger question about tax certainty for foreign investors still remains. Over the years, the applicability of the India-Mauritius tax treaty and the consequential availability of capital gains tax exemption in India has been widely debated.
A similar provision for capital gains tax exemption is available in the India-Cyprus tax treaty. It is understood that India is negotiating a limitation of benefits (LoB) article with Mauritius and Cyprus, prescribing conditions relating to economic substance or business presence in those countries for the relevant tax treaty to apply. This is a salutary development as it will, hopefully, provide a measure of certainty for foreign investors from these two countries on the applicability of beneficial provisions of the tax treaties.
Clarity is also required to state that once LoB conditions are fulfilled, the general anti-avoidance rules (Gaar) will not apply. "Specific" rules like LoB must prevail over Gaar.
It augurs well for India if reluctant jurisdictions are made to cooperate with the country's efforts to prevent erosion of domestic tax base. But in the zeal to enforce tough measures on tax evaders, India would do well to provide clarity and certainty that legitimate foreign investors availing of bilateral tax treaty benefits — within the framework of proposed LoB conditions — shall not be denied the benefits. Else, we run a serious risk of adding yet another global tax controversy to its pile of unresolved tax disputes.
Views are personal.

Tecnargilla 2004 Draws International Crowd
The international scope of the show was also reflected in the exhibitors. Of the 773 exhibitors, foreign companies accounted for 292 (37.8%) and included a variety of companies involved in the supply of machinery, raw materials, goods and services to the ceramic and brick industries. Kromatech, a special section devoted to color and glazes that was introduced at Tecnargilla 2002, was slightly larger at this year's event. With more than 220 exhibitors (55% foreign), Kromatech represented approximately 28.5% of the show. Claytech, a new section devoted to brick and tile technologies, featured more than 100 exhibitors, nearly half of which were from outside of Italy.
The next edition of Tecnargilla will be held in 2006. (The exact dates have not yet been announced.) For more information, visit http://www.tecnargilla.com.

THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, OUR AMERICAN COUSIN and More Set for Parson's Nose Theater's 2014-15 Season
Parson's Nose Theater, led by Artistic Director Lance Davis, announces its 15th anniversary season of classic theater in Southern California.
"It's our fifteenth season introducing classic works to the people of Los Angeles. And we are just as committed to their relevance," says Mr. Davis. "Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice presents two warring cultures, one behind the walls of the other. The Pied Piper is from an Eastern European legend of children lost in a war. Dickens' A Christmas Carol has reminded us for 160 years what it is to be human. Beaumarchais' The Barber of Seville sails two young lovers through the rapids of authority. Giraudoux's Madwoman of Chaillot ends the fracking of Paris. And Tom Taylor's 1859 comedy sends our boorish American Cousin to visit an erstwhile Downton Abbey. Come get to know the lights of our past, that shine on our present and into our future."
The company's season presents three Reader's Theater Series performances and three Full Productions. The Reader's Theater Series includes October's The Merchant of Venice, A Christmas Carol in December, and The Barber of Seville in January, 2015. Adding an additional full production to their 15th Anniversary Season, the works included in the Full Production Series are The Pied Piper of Hamlin - A Musical which opens in November, The Madwoman of Chaillot opening in February, and Our American Cousin, opening at the end of March and running through April. All Reader's Theater and Full Productions are original adaptations by Parson's Nose Artistic Director, Lance Davis.
Parson's Nose presents their 2014-15 Season with a mixture of readings and full productions. Performed readings are presented one weekend only, allowing audience members to be introduced to a play they haven't read before, or to enjoy a performance where the language and characters are the focus without the distraction of costumes, props, and sets. Full productions will have a 4-week run, including sets, costumes, and props, but keeping those elements to a minimum so that the story doesn't get lost in the spectacle.
Parson's Nose is also happy to announce that they will continue selling their entire season - both Reader's Theater and Full Productions -- as "Pay What You Will". Says Davis, "It's essential that all people have the opportunity to hear the works of some of the greatest writers in history. Thanks to our generous supporters, we can keep all of our shows affordable -- no one is ever turned away because they couldn't afford a ticket."

About Parson's Nose Theater - Parson's Nose Theater is a non-profit, 501(c)3 theater company located in Pasadena, CA dedicated to introducing classical theater to modern audiences. Through condensed adaptations of the works of Shakespeare, Molière, Shaw, Goldoni, Goldsmith and more, lives of the old, young, and in-between are enriched with this introduction to the works of some of the greatest writers who've ever lived. Productions are presented in a fun, commedia dell-arte style that makes them both engaging and easy to understand. Parson's Nose believes the classics are stories that have endured because they speak illuminating truths to each generation. The joys and problems of 17th Century families form a bridge to those of the 21st.
Parson's Nose Theater was founded in 2000 by Lance Davis and Mary Chalon Davis. After previous relationships with InterACT Theater and The Geffen Playhouse, Parson's Nose took up residency at Lineage Performing Arts Center in Pasadena, CA. Parson's Nose takes pride in paying actors above the Actors Equity requirements because they believe artists should be paid appropriately for their talents. To date, Parson's Nose has introduced approximately sixty-five fun, condensed, professional presentations of thirty-two comedies to over 65,000 kids and adults. Parson's Nose takes pride that no one is ever turned away from attending a production because they could not afford a ticket. Parson's Nose is the only company in America devoted to this new way of experiencing the classics.
Parson's Nose Founder and Artistic Director, Lance Davis, is a classically and comically trained actor who spent over twenty years working in New York. A guest teaching opportunity brought Lance to Los Angeles where he quickly realized that many students had little, if any, experience with live theater, and none with live classical theater. Many of his own friends admitted that they too never experienced Shakespeare or other classical theater out of fear they wouldn't understand it. With the help of his wife, Mary Chalon Davis, and the generosity of Terry Perl, they founded Parson's Nose Theater in 2000 to inspire the young and reward the old, by developing in them an appetite that would lead to further exploration of the unique art form, 'Theater'.

Release Information
Official worldwide release date - September 26, 2011
Since the release of his debut Overnight, Mark McKnight has emerged as one of the most significant new voices in European jazz guitar, representing his native Ireland at the 12 Points! Festival as well the UK in the European Jazz Orchestra. Having recorded his debut in NYC with a band comprising some of the city's finest musicians, the intervening two years have seen McKnight focus primarily on the development of his own UK based organ trio.
"I was fortunate to meet the amazing young Hammond organist Ross Stanley in late 2008, shortly after finishing my first record," explains McKnight. "I have always felt at home with the sound of the Hammond and having just finished the acoustic quintet music of Overnight, I was looking for something new to explore."And indeed it's the searching but always melodically-defined writing, just as much as the virtuosic playing displayed by all four musicians, which sets Do or Die apart. McKnight states, "I've been very lucky to find the perfect combination of musicians for this project in terms of their collective understanding of the musical aesthetic I'm looking for. In addition to Ross, I'm featuring another of the UK's foremost young talents, drummer James Maddren. James' rhythmic and textural invention in combination with Ross' incredible ear and harmonic ingenuity create a truly inspiring and unpredictable rhythm section for any soloist or listener."
The quartet is completed by one of the world's most celebrated saxophonists in tenor icon Seamus Blake. "Seamus has always been one of my favorite saxophonists and someone whose music I've been checking out for years," McKnight adds. "As a result he fits perfectly with the vibe of the group and of course brings his own unique and personal voice to what I've written."
From start to finish, this is an album that not only reinforces the ever developing voice of McKnight as both an improvisor and composer, but also confidently announces the arrival of a significant new interpretation of the Hammond organ group.
Press Highlights
"There's a strong sense of narrative in [McKnight's] soloing which blurs the line between improvisation and composition, and he mercifully resists the temptation to show off his technique, though it is prodigious."
The Sunday Business Post
"[Do or Die] reveals the depth of songwriting that McKnight has achieved....truly inspirational."
Guitar Techniques
"Mark McKnight is a phenomenal guitarist whose fluency and dexterity have created a stir in recent years. On [Do or Die], there is much to admire."
Sunday Independent
"Outstanding new album...[McKnight] is a phenomenal young Belfast guitarist."
The Irish News
"If you're going to title your disc Do Or Die, your music had better have some compelling urgency going for it. Happily, the sophomore disc from the young, Belfast-raised, Berklee College of Music-educated guitarist Mark McKnight lives up to the promise of its name."
The Ottawa Citizen
"A superb recording...what appeals, quite apart from the high level of musicianship are the clarity, hunger and sense of enquiry in McKnight's, and indeed the whole group's playing...a fresh and invigorating approach to the [organ trio] format."
"Gorgeous explorations of the theme by McKnight and saxophonist Seamus Blake, who trade with fluidness, intensity and feeling. Both soloists' voices are richly drawn: McKnight, in particular, creating a canopy of thought-provoking and emotive mood."
All About Jazz
"'Do or Die' is an album that confirms McKnight's status as a rising star with its blend of intriguing compositions and top quality playing all round."
The JazzMann
"A class act."
"A fine album, which is hopefully the first of many from this line-up."
Drummer Magazine
"McKnight, Ross Stanley (organ ), James Maddren (drums) and Seamus Blake stretched out on McKnight's compositions to dramatic effect, stretching the fabric of the tunes, changing the order of the solos and generally blowing the hell out of the material."
The Jazzmann
"Superbly played, unexpectedly original, and definitely grows on you."
The Guardian
"McKnight has formidable technique, a fluent flow of ideas and an instinctive appreciation of contrast."
The Irish Times
"A growing presence on the international jazz scene....[McKnight's] guitar style combines a singing sound with searching, bluesy energy and a quick witted sense of form...[Do or Die] showcases a band that takes the classic hammond quartet into its own zone...McKnight and Blake tear up the guitarist's variously elegant and urgent melodies."
The Herald
"McKnight's crisp, inventive guitar work assiduously avoiding cliches."
The Scotsman
"Musicianship of the highest order....McKnight's fluency is something to behold...a contender for gig of the year."

After dropping their first game of the Braymer Invitational, coach Kirk Thacker was pleased with how his Bulldogs finished with strong back-to-back performances. The Dawgs improved to 4-6 Friday as they stopped Breckenridge 76-51 in the consolation game.
It was Hardin-Central's second victory over Breckenridge, but Thacker felt his team played much better than their earlier 2-point decision.
"We felt like we didn't play well or showed what we could really do a few weeks ago," he said. "We wanted to make a statement that when we want to, we can get in and play very good basketball. It was a solid performance."
Hardin-Central jumped out to a 27-13 lead after the opening 8 minutes, and held a 41-30 advantage at the break. Breckenridge opened the second half with a 7-0 run, but the Bulldogs held off the challenge as they closed out the period on a 15-2 run to take a 56-39 cushion into the final period.
The Bulldogs took advantage of their free throw opportunities by hitting 20 of their 36 attempts, while Breckenridge visited the stripe just 14 times and converted half of them.
Patrick King paced the Hardin-Central attack with 30 points and 12 rebounds to go along with 3 steals and a blocked shot defensively. Daniel Carpenter just missed a double-double with 15 points and 9 rebounds. He also dished out a team-high 5 assists. Chris Herring was the third Dawg in double figures with 10 points.
Mark Carpenter hit for 8 points, while hitting the boards for 9 rebounds with 4 assists, with Chris Wilson adding 7 points with a half dozen rebounds and 3 assists. Also scoring for Hardin-Central were Randy Estenbaum and Damon Johnson with 2 each, while Jake Harris and Grant Wheeler hit one free throw apiece.
Josh Sayers, Tyler Morgan and John Adams each hit for 11 points to lead Breckenridge.

Mountains are my thing really. Climbing is mainly an excuse for getting out in the fresh air and getting a bit of a thrill. Not into the grade thing. For now ;-)

Arriving at the summit of the Weismeiss after as hour or so of THE most intense lower leg pain from slogging up the final snow slope of the SE Ridge. The pain went, swept aside by being at the top of my 1st 4000m peak, only clouds below and a blue sky above. Heaven.

text: I'm a long-time subscriber to Scientific American, and lately (year or so) I've begun to notice that the magazine has begun to take on a strikingly liberal bent. In the July issue, currently hitting news stands, there's an article on Page 35 called "Undercutting Fairness". Right away the title is a bit of a red flag, but if you go through the article the guy is clearly biased towards on side of the issue. If that issue were scientific in nature, I wouldn't have a problem with it. In fact I think he has some interesting points -- certainly his numbers seem to indicate that at the state and local level taxation is slanted in favor of the wealthy. We've been hearing a lot lately about how the *Federal* tax system is heavily in favor of the poor (clearly the author is aware of this, referring to that as "progressiveness" in his opening paragraph), and it's interesting if that's not reflected at the state and local level when taking all taxation into account. Interesting, yes. But is it science? Last month SciAm, one of the great historical bastions of scientific reporting, ran an editorial entitled "Bush League Lysenkoism", ripping the administration for its position on stem-cell research. Here I don't have a problem -- in fact I expect SciAm to take an editorial position and they clearly marked this as editorial. They may even have a valid point. But I wonder if this indicates a definitive bias on the part of the magazine when it comes to reporting scientific *news*.

PALO ALTO, Calif. & CAMBRIDGE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Open Monoclonal Technology, Inc. (OMT) and Recombinant Antibody Technology, Ltd (RAT) announced a publication about OmniRat™ in the Journal of Immunology (www.jimmunol.org/content/early/2013/01/09/jimmunol.1203041). The publication by scientists from OMT, RAT and Pfizer is entitled "High-Affinity IgG Antibodies Develop Naturally in Ig- Knockout Rats Carrying Germline Human IgH/Igk/Igl Loci Bearing the Rat CH Region" and covers eighteen months of close collaboration between the teams.
"High-Affinity IgG Antibodies Develop Naturally in Ig- Knockout Rats Carrying Germline Human IgH/Igk/Igl Loci Bearing the Rat CH Region"
The manuscript describes a comprehensive comparison of wild type animals with OmniRat, the first genetically engineered rat to generate fully human antibody specificities. While there have been numerous transgenic mice expressing human antibodies, this is the first genetic engineering project that resulted in an animal that makes antibodies with fully human idiotypes as well as wild type animals make their own antibodies.
Antibodies from transgenic animals have proven to be the most productive platform for human antibody drug discovery and development. Six of eight currently approved human monoclonal antibodies are from transgenic animals and many more are in the pharmaceutical industry pipeline.
Dr. Marianne Brüggemann, senior author of the manuscript, Research Director of RAT and scientific advisor to OMT, said: "We generated the first mouse expressing human antibodies 25 years ago. Many others followed but none of these worked as well as normal animals. I am pleased that we finally managed to generate an animal that makes antibodies with human idiotypes as well as wildtype animals. The data convinced Pfizer that OmniRat is a valuable tool for routine generation of high affinity human antibodies."
Open Monoclonal Technology, Inc.
Open Monoclonal Technology, Inc. (OMT) is a leader in genetic engineering of animals for the development of human therapeutic antibodies – naturally optimized human antibodies™.
OMT has created OmniRat™, the first fully human monoclonal antibody platform based on transgenic rats. OMT's genetic engineering is based on an improved understanding of B cell development and a new approach to inactivation of endogenous antibody expression, which enables OmniRat to make antibodies with human idiotypes as efficiently as wild type rats make normal antibodies. OmniRat represents a novel and proprietary technology with unrestricted development options for fully human monoclonal antibodies, available worldwide for all targets and indications.
OMT also develops a transgenic mouse, OmniMouse™, to complement OmniRat and further increase epitope coverage in human antibody development.
OmniAb™ integrates OMT's transgenic animal platforms, proven protein and DNA immunization and Gel-Encapsulated Microenvironment (GEM) deep antibody screening to enable fast and costefficient generation and identification of preferred human therapeutic antibody candidates.
Recombinant Antibody Technology, Ltd.
Recombinant Antibody Technology, Ltd. (RAT) is a leader in genetic engineering of animals using novel strategies for assembly and modification of mini-chromosomes.
As a research affiliate of Open Monoclonal Technology, Inc. (OMT), RAT has been instrumental in creating OmniRat™ and OmniMouse™.
