DFSA Administered Laws
Primary Legislation, other than Federal or Dubai Laws, consists of DIFC Laws administered by either the DFSA or the DIFCA.(DIFCA administered Laws). Such Laws are enacted by the Ruler of Dubai and apply only in the DIFC.
The Laws administered by the DFSA are the core financial services related laws, which are as follows:
These Laws can be viewed under Administered Laws
The Registrar of Companies has delegated to the DFSA enforcement powers and functions under the following DIFC Laws:
This instrument of delegation can be viewed under Instrument of Delegation
DFSA Rules
A Rule is subsidiary legislation made under the Regulatory Law 2004 by the Board of Directors of the DFSA for the purposes of that, or any other, Law administered by the DFSA.
The Rulebook is made up of topic-area modules which specify their scope and the audience to whom they apply. These can be accessed under DFSA Rules.
The Rulebook also contains additional commentary as 'guidance' which is designed to assist DIFC participants in complying with the relevant Laws and Rules. Guidance is indicative and non-binding, and does not provide a 'safe-harbour' to protect those who comply with it from action for breach of an underlying Rule.
Certain other matters that are not Rules, such as application forms, prudential returns and associated guidance in the form of instructional guidelines are contained in the DFSA Sourcebook Modules, which are also made up of topic-area modules.
Note: The definitive version of the DFSA Rulebook text at any particular time is the version contained in the actual instruments (including amending instruments) made by the DFSA and published on the DFSA website. For all modules of Rules this will be the most recent relevant instrument setting out the entire consolidated module. The PDF of these published instruments can be found below under the links for "Rule-making instruments" and "Guidance-making instruments"
Amendments to Legislation
All the amendments that have been made to legislation administered by the DFSA since the first laws and rules came into force in September 2004 can be found under "Amendments to Legislation".
The DFSA exercises its rule-making power under Article 23 of the Regulatory Law 2004, in writing, in a document called a "rule-making instrument". Prior to April 2011 the "Rule-making Instruments" set out the amendments made to the rules. As from April 2011 the rule-making instruments do not contain this detail but simply repeal and replace an entire module of rules with an updated consolidated version. To ascertain what changes were made to a particular module of rules, reference must be made to the sub-section entitled Notice of Amendments to Legislation.
Amendments made to laws administered by the DFSA are to be found under the sub-section entitled "Amendment Laws".
Guidance may also be issued separately by instrument and can be accessed under the sub-section entitled "Guidance-making Instruments".
Amendments made to legislation are shown by way of striking through text to be deleted and underlining new text unless otherwise stated.
DFSA Codes of Practice
Guidance in the form of a code of practice which has not been incorporated into the Rules may be issued by the DFSA Board of Directors.
Waivers and Modification Notices
When the DFSA grants a Person relief from the effect of Rules pursuant to Article 25 of the Regulatory Law 2004, it issues a notice. Such a notice may be issued subject to conditions and unless the DFSA is satisfied that it is inappropriate or unnecessary to do so, the DFSA will publish the notice in such a way as it considers appropriate for bringing the notice to the attention of:
(a) those likely to be effected by it
(b) others who may be likely to become subject to a similar notice.
For further information on relief granted by the DFSA please click here.
DFSA Forms
Please refer to the DFSA Prudential Returns Module and the Application Forms and Notices Module which are located under DFSA Forms.
Public Consultation
We initiate policy proposals from sources such as feedback from DIFC firms, the European Union or international standard setters such as IOSCO, FATF, IAIS and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. We are required by law to consult the public for at least 30 days on any proposed legislation, unless any delay would be prejudicial to the interests of the DIFC.
We publish our Consultation Papers on our website and invite comments from the public. A Consultation Paper includes a summary of the draft legislation and the purpose for making these legislations. After evaluating the public's comments and consulting with the Dubai Government (the Supreme Legislation Committee) and DIFCA, the DFSA Board of Directors approves the legislation.
Draft Laws
When the legislation is a law, the DFSA Board of Directors may recommend the approved draft to H.H. the DIFC President so that he may submit it to H.H. the Ruler for his consideration and, if approved, enactment.
Draft Rules
When the legislation is a Rule or a Code, the DFSA Board of Directors has the power to make and issue these.
Publication of Consultation Papers
We publish all past and current Consultation Papers on our website.
We issue Policy Statements when we need to explain:
The exercise of specific powers under our legislations.
How we interpret certain provisions of the legislations we administer.
The reasons behind our approach to certain matters or issues.

Our Designers
Making Design Matter is Michael Wolk's guiding philosophy……an approach that is integral to the timeless style, inspired solutions and ultimate comfort that Wolk brings to each of the design projects and furnishings collections that his studio undertakes.
As a student at Pratt Institute in New York, where he grew up, Michael Wolk's intense design focus and burgeoning talent attracted John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who hired him to design their Joko Recording Studio…..his first professional commission.
After graduating from Pratt, Wolk was invited to Miami to explore a variety of professional design opportunities. His classic, modernist approach melded perfectly with the needs of both residential and hospitality clients there….. and Michael Wolk Design Associates was established. The firm's more prestigious clients have included The Related Group, Dezer/Trump Developers, Burger King, Lionstone Development Corporation, Goldman Properties, MIA Shoes……plus numerous private clients. The firm's acclaimed style and versatility have resulted in clients who return frequently with new projects.
Equally well-known for his furniture and furnishings designs, Wolk creates collections for a select group of the country's leading residential and contract furniture companies. Many of his designs are now regarded as enduring classics. Among the manufacturers of current Wolk-designed collections are Brueton, Directional, Loewenstein, R. Jones, David Edward, DIA, Campbell Contract, American Leather, Della Robbia, Cabot Wren, Tomlinson, and Johnston Casuals, as well as lighting for Ilex and Boyd.
Throughout, Michael Wolk has maintained an abiding interest in creating one-of-a-kind art furniture and wall art. His art furniture has had repeated gallery showings and his wall art includes collections that he has designed for Rosenbaum Fine Art. One of which was picked up by Crate and Barrel.
Michael Wolk is the recipient of frequent accolades for his work, including Best of Neocon, AIA Interior Designer of the Year, ASFD Pinnacle Awards, the DCOTA Stars of Design Award for Best Product Designer, grand prizes in many Florida Style Furniture Design Competitions, the American Corporate Identity Award for Excellence, numerous Sandi Awards from IIDA and Sophie awards from NEWH.
The firm's interiors and product designs are regularly published in top publications in the US and internationally.
Dean Maltz's practice encompasses three areas: an independent architectural practice, a partnership with Shigeru Ban, and furniture design.
In 1990, Maltz founded his design practice, Dean Maltz Architect (DMA). The firm has a diverse portfolio of residential projects throughout the United States, including estates, houses, apartments, and lofts, as well as commercial projects, such as offices, retail space, building identity, and hospitality design. Maltz began working with Shigeru Ban Architects (SBA) in 1999 and is the Managing Partner of the New York office, responsible for all SBA projects in North and South America. Recent projects include the Cast Iron House (2017), the Aspen Art Museum (2014), the Metal Shutter House (2011), and the Nomadic Museum (2005).
Dean Maltz Architect designs furniture for leading residential and commercial furniture manufactures in the United States and Italy. Product categories include upholstery, chairs, bedrooms, dining groups, occasional tables, and storage systems. Maltz has received recognition in competitions and exhibitions such as Progressive Architecture's 3rd Annual International Furniture Competition, and he was awarded the ASID Pinnacle Award for furniture design (2005), the Society of American Registered Architects' Architectural Innovation Award (2012), and an International Property Award (2014).
Maltz graduated from the Cooper Union School of Architecture in 1984, and was awarded the A.I.A. Certificate of Achievement. Prior to completing his undergraduate education, he spent a year living and working in Tokyo, Japan. He attended the Harvard Graduate School of Design, graduating with a Masters of Architecture in 1986. Maltz has taught at a number of institutions, including Columbia University, Washington University, and Cornell University.
Stanley Jay Friedman is an American Furniture and Product designer . Born in New York, and a graduate of Parsons the New School for Design ( Parsons School of Design ). Friedman formed his own atelier in New York City in the mid 1970's. In order to express his belief's, Friedman's ethic is a total commitment to a design philosophy he has always believed in, which is to influence, control and design the entire project. Whether or not it proved successful he leaves it to the future to decide.
In 1997 , Friedman gave up his architectural interior design practice to concentrate solely on his major passion which is furniture and product design. His designs have been published and have appeared in many motion pictures numerous times. He has achieved many successes, as well as awards and commendations: including the Dupont Antron Grand Prize Award, IBD Awards, Roscoe Awards, Good Design Awards, The Pinnacle Award, and many others.
Although Friedman's name has been synonymous with designing product for the architecture and designer trade he also designs for notable American and European manufacturers. He is recognized by fellow designers and architects for his clean barrier-breaking modern designs. With an eye on cutting edge technologies, Friedman's passion for pushing boundaries and experimenting has led to his reputation for being a savvy forward thinking designer. Friedman's lecturing on the evolution of modernism has taken him to cities around the world from New York to Moscow. His focused concern is the relatively slow emergence of the understanding and acceptance of modernism in our homes. Friedman says he never tires of designing. He has more inspiration today then he had in 1970. Motivated by today's larger and younger audience, he constantly challenges himself and looks forward to doing his best work.

From the Momfilter Archive
In the last issue of Cookie, we had a quick Thanksgiving dinner how-to, and since the magazine folded before the issue came out, we never got to hear readers' reactions. It was bittersweet to get this lovely email from a Momfilter reader—but we're happy to post the recipe here.
"I used to subscribe to Cookie Magazine and was DEVASTATED when the magazine closed. I have most copies of the magazine, except the one that I have been searching for for years now. I made a Turkey using the November 2009 recipe and it was the BEST turkey I have ever had! It was also so simple, but I no longer have the recipe or the magazine. Is it possible to get a copy of the recipe?"
Turkey, Potatoes, and Brussels Sprouts
1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
6 shallots, peeled and halved
½ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons salt
1 10-pound turkey
3 sprigs each parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
6 strips bacon, chopped
1 cup turkey or chicken broth
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the potatoes and sprouts with 3 shallots and half the oil and salt; set aside.
Rub the turkey with the remaining oil and salt. Stuff the cavity with the herbs; tie the legs with twine.
Place half the bacon in a roasting pan with the remaining shallots, the broth, and the turkey (on a rack). Put it in the oven.
After the turkey has cooked for 1 hour, add the vegetables to the pan and baste the turkey. Roast for 30 minutes more.
Baste again, stir the vegetables, and add the remaining bacon to the pan.
Roast until a thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh reads 170 degrees, about 30 minutes.

Q. When, in ancient Greece, did Pheidippides run 26 miles to announce a Greek victory over the Persians at the Battle of Marathon, thereby starting the tradition of the Marathon run?
A. Probably never. The distance from Marathon to Athens is not 26 miles. Actually, the course that marathoners cover today is the distance from the now-demolished Shepherd's Bush Stadium in London to just outside the queen's bedroom at Windsor Castle. The 26-mile, 385-yard course for the Marathon run was standardized in the 1908 Olympic games in London. The longest race in the ancient games was about three miles.
Q. When did the ancient Greeks come up with the concept of lighting a torch with the rays of the sun and then relaying it to the games' location?
A. It never happened. The tradition of the torch traveling overland from Greece to wherever the games are being held was conceived in 1936 by Lenni Reifensthal, a talented German filmmaker who became famous that same year for her propaganda film, Triumph of the Will . The first Greek torch lighting was basically a publicity stunt to publicize the 1936 Berlin Games.
Q. Were the ancient games only athletic events that were held only in Olympia, Greece?
A. In ancient times, the games were part of religious ceremonies that included animal sacrifices, dramatic and poetic readings, singing and incense burning. Athletics were only one segment. The four main sites for the ancient Olympics were Delphi, Corinth, Olympia and Aegina.
Q. Why did the ancients insist on purely amateur athletics?
A. They didn't. The idea of purely amateur athletics came about in the 18th century when upper-class Europeans were thinking about starting the games of the modern era. The idea of amateur participation only was important then because only the rich had time for sports. Everybody else was too busy working 12-hour days, seven days a week.
Q. Why did ancient winners receive only token prizes like Olive wreaths?
A. The Greek city-states Elis and Corinth supported athletes year round. They lived at the expense of the state and trained in specially built gymnasiums. Many reaped financial bonanzas because winners brought prestige and status to their city-states. Many were given pensions, homes and earned the same type of wealth and fame as today's top pro athletes.
Q. Weren't the ancient Olympics a time of peace in the name of sports?
A. Actually, the games played in the ancient Olympics sprung mostly from the practice and arts of war. Games back then included Greco-Roman wrestling and fist fighting wherein the participants wrapped their hands with leather thongs. One of the most popular events on the ancient card was the Pankration, a violent and bloody free-for-all that resulted in eyes gouged from sockets and ears torn from heads. Other popular games included foot races, the javelin throw and the long jump.
Q. Did the ancients really stop wars to hold the Olympics?
A. Because the ancient Games were part of religious ceremonies, the four main sites were off-limits to those who bore the tools of war. Thus, one had to surrender one's shield, spear, sling, dagger, sword, bow and arrows and the like while there. Ancient wars did not cease for the Games although warrior-participants could obtain a safe conduct pass that allowed them to traverse battlefields at night when the day's fighting was done.
Q. Did the Olympic Games ever include horse races?
A. In ancient times, popular horse race events were divided into about every classification possible. In addition to two-, four- and ten-team chariot races, there were filly-only chariot, mule-only chariot and other similar divisions. When Nero of Rome introduced horse racing to his version of the Olympic Games, there was also massive betting—and cheating.
Q. Did the ancient Greeks really tear down the walls of their cities on occasion to honor an Olympic winner?
A. Never. That would have been the equivalent of the U.S. dismantling its nuclear submarine fleet to honor the winners of the Super Bowl.
Q. Did the ancients take part in any Games we moderns no longer observe?
A. Nero of Rome during the Olympic games of 66 A.D. introduced popular Roman singing, poetry reciting and more horse racing. It was widely suspected at the time Nero did not have both oars in the water. But all doubt was removed when he crassly declared himself winner of the poetry and singing contests. Historians also note that Nero entered a ten-horse team in the four-horse chariot race, fell from his vehicle and was almost killed. Nonetheless, he declared himself winner in that event, too.
Q. Why did the ancient Greeks quit holding the Games?
A. The Games never really died out; the world just became a much more dangerous and less organized place when Huns, Vandals and Visigoths started raiding Rome and the cities of Greece. There were also major earthquakes that changed the course of rivers and flooded the Game sites at Delphi and Olympia. Moreover, Christianity spread to Greece by the 4th Century and the religious nature of the Games became less important.
Q. When did the ancient Olympic games end?
A. The ruler Theodosius I declared an end to pagan rituals in 394 AD and that included—in his mind, at least—Olympic Games. However, historians note the same decree was issued about every 50 years which hints the Games went on, decrees and proclamations notwithstanding.
Q. In ancient times, weren't the Games only held in Greece?
A. The Games of the ancient era were also held in Syria in 1456. In 1621, Robert Dover organized Olympic competition at Cotswold Hills in England. The Games were also held sporadically among Northern Europeans and the English for the next 250 years. The Greeks staged their own Olympic revivals in 1859, 1870, 1875 and again in 1877.
Q. When did the Games of modern era begin?
A. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French nobleman, founded the Olympics of the modern era in 1896 and served as International Olympic committee president until 1925. The Baron knew about the ancients but he was probably really inspired by watching the English play some of the ancient Games.
Q. Do the five interconnected rings of the Olympic logo symbolize the continents of the world?
A. The Olympic rings don't symbolize the world's continents because there are seven continents—although no native population lives in Antarctica. Actually, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French nobleman who founded the Olympics of the modern era in 1896, borrowed the interconnected rings as the symbol for the International Olympics from a French rugby club.
Q. Have the Games always been held every four years since 1896?
A. The Games were suspended during World War II in 1940 and 1944. They were resumed in 1948 but excluded Germany and Japan.
Q. Why are politics never supposed to be mixed with the games?
A. Founder Baron Pierre de Coubertin wanted to bring the peoples of the world together in sport and friendship. Nonetheless, nearly every session of the Games since 1936 has been marred by some form of protest, unrest or boycott.
Q. Were live animals ever harmed in the Olympics?
A. The 1900 Olympics in Paris featured a pigeon shooting event. The birds were released in front of a participant with a shotgun; the winner was he who knocked the most birds from the sky. But the event turned out to be too messy with maimed birds on the ground and blood and feathers swirling in the air. The live pigeon shoot was dropped and replaced with trap shooting which uses clay pigeons.
Q. Aren't most Olympic winners in their 20s and 30s?
A. The oldest medal winner ever was 72-year-old Oscar Swahn who took a silver medal in the 1912 Olympics for the deer shoot (which uses moving targets on a rail, not live deer).
Q. Haven't the modern Olympics always been track and field events?
A. Not really. Olympic Games have included many now-forgotten events. Some examples were: tug-of-war, rope climbing, cricket, lacrosse, golf, croquet, polo, club swinging, motorboat racing, the 3000-meter walk, kayak slalom singles and dueling pistols.
Andrew Strenk, PhD, a former University of Southern California (USC) history professor, competed as a swimmer on the 1968 U.S. Olympic 4x200 freestyle relay team. While studying for his Master's degree in Germany, then his doctorate at USC, Dr. Strenk covered the '72 Munich Olympic games; the '76 Montreal games and the Moscow Olympic Games in 1980. Later, in 1983 and 1984, he worked for the L.A. Olympics Organizing Committee as official historian and dug from the archives much unpublicized material. Moreover, Dr. Strenk later taught a college course, "History and Politics of the Olympic Games." He reveals much of what we commonly believe about the International Olympic Games are really myths, yarns, tall tales, half-truths and rumors.

A sensational double eagle finish from Rory McIlroy gave him a six-stroke cushion going into the final round of the British Open as he crushed a chasing pack of challengers who tried and failed to hunt him down during a rain-hit third round.
The 25-year-old Irishman, looking to add a third major to his collection and a first on British soil, started Saturday with a four-stroke lead.
But by the time he reached the 12th hole that had vanished and he was caught in a dogfight with American shot-maker Rickie Fowler, hungry to win his first major.
That was when McIlroy, who had been struggling off the tee, produced his best golf of the week at Royal Liverpool.
A birdie at 14 eased him back ahead, and with Fowler going off the boil, McIlroy struck what could prove to be two tournament-winning blows with magnificent eagles at the 16th and 18th.
That put him at 16-under for the tournament six strokes clear of Fowler who had eight birdies en route to a 68.
It was the biggest lead at the third-round stage of the Open since Tiger Woods at St Andrews in 2000. Woods eventually won by eight strokes on that occasion.
A further stroke back came Spaniard Sergio Garcia who had a 69 and Dustin Johnson of the United States with a 71. Frenchman Victor Dubuisson was next best on eight under after a 68.
It was already a remarkable day for the British Open because for the first time in its 154-year long history the field went out from both the first and 10th tees instead of just everyone going off the first.
That was due to a decision taken by tournament organisers the R&A to bring forward the start times and share them between 1 and 10 in an effort to complete the round in the face of bad weather forecast for later on.
As it was, the 72-strong field was greeted with torrential rain as they arrived at the historic links layout on the Wirral peninsula south of Liverpool.
McIlroy was the man to catch and when he bogeyed the first hole, the chase was immediately on.
Johnson, Garcia, Jim Furyk and Charl Schwartzel all made early surges, but McIlroy struck a timely birdie on the fifth and then a series of fine approaches and clutch putting allowed him to keep his nose in front.
Then Fowler emerged from the chasing pack with three straight birdies from the 10th. When McIlroy dropped a stroke at the 12th, the solo lead he had enjoyed from the first day had gone.
But with the rest of the pack scenting blood, McIlroy suddenly put his foot on the accelerator with his two eagles, leaving his stunned rivals in his wake.
Catching him on Sunday will be a momentous task for any player as the Irishman seeks to add the British Open to the US Open crown he won in 2011 and the PGA Championship title of 2012, both by eight strokes.
Phil Mickelson saw his chances of defending the title he won last year at Muirfield vanish as he shot a 71 to stand at one under for the tournament, while world number three Justin Rose ended the day at five under after a 69.
World number one Adam Scott had a fine 69, but at six under is too far back to pose a serious threat.
Woods, meanwhile, had another mixed day as he carded a 73 to stand at three over, 17 strokes off the lead.

Game 79: Tampa Bay at Toronto pregame
As manager Cito Gaston promised, right fielder Alex Rios was back in the Blue Jays' starting lineup for Tuesday's tilt against Tampa Bay. For the second time in the past week, Gaston slid Rios down into the seventh spot of the batting order.
Gaston was asked if, at the beginning of the season, someone told him Rios would be hitting seventh before the All-Star break, what would the manager's reaction be?
"I wouldve thought that'd be bad," Gaston replied. "It's someone that we really need to step up and play well. I would've thought, 'Hey, that's not good.' We still need him to step up and play well and hopefully he will before it's all over."
Overall, Rios entered Tuesday batting .263 with nine home runs and 37 RBIs through 76 games for the Blue Jays this season. He opened the year as Toronto's No. 3 hitter for 61 games before being moved down to the sixth hole for 14 contests. Over his last eight games, Rios has hit just .188.
Gaston still believes the talent is in there.
"He has as much as anyone on this ballclub," Gaston said. "He's probably as strong as anybody on this ballclub. He has a lot of talent. It's just putting it all together."
That's been the story year in and year out with Rios. Loads of potential, flashes of his raw ability in spurts, but prolonged slumps during which he can look completely lost at the plate. As he has stated numerous times before, Gaston said he believes timing is the root of Rios' issues at the plate.
"I still believe a lot of times he's not ready," Gaston said. "I say this all the time, guys when they don't hit well they just don't get ready in time. Also, you have to have an approach up there, too. You can't hit every pitch that they throw up there. You've got to have a plan about what you want to do.
"Alex has got to take a plan up to the plate with him, whether he's going to hit a fastball or he's going to hit a breaking ball. Start looking for some of those pitches."
OTHER ITEMS: On Tuesday, closer Scott Downs (sprained toe on his left foot) threw off a mound in a bullpen session for the first time since injurying his foot on June 16. Downs said the session went well, and the injury hasn't negatively affected his mechanics, but he has yet to test his foot with running. That step will come in he next few days. Downs said he hopes to be ready to return during the coming road trip, maybe even as early as Friday, when he's eligible to be activated. Gaston said the club might be more cautious, possibly giving Downs until after the All-Star break. … Catcher Rod Barajas, who has been dealing with a sore right hamstring, was out of the lineup on Tuesday. Gaston said Barajas and catcher Raul Chavez will alternate starts for the time being. … Jays draft pick Jake Eliopoulos (68th overall) from nearby Newmarket, Ontario, visited Rogers Centre and threw in the bullpen on Tuesday. He remains unsigned. … If you have any Jays questions, send them with your name and hometown to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thinking of rolling out a mailbag on Thursday, if I get enough quality Q's from the fanbase.

I agree that Cito knows a lot about baseball. However, he does not always do as he claims. If he does not like you (e.g. John Olerud), you can be pinch hit for in spite of his claim that he does not like to embarrass a veteran. If he likes you (e.g. Joe Carter or Vernon Wells), you can stink the place out for months before he does anything. Giving Vernon half the season to prove himself has cost the Jays quite a few games.
Also, when the Jays were playing well, the praise for Cito and Gene was endless. Now, they cannot hit, especially with runners in scoring position. Should we now criticise these coaches?
Cito loves to fill out his lineup card in April and not alter it for the rest of the year. He must really be upset this year.

League's NEA FY13 Grant Tips Now Available - (January 23, 2012)
Download Today: The League's Tips for Orchestras Applying for NEA FY13 Grants
January 23, 2012, Washington, D.C. - In addition to advocating for federal support for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the League of American Orchestras compiles and reports the agency's yearly grants to orchestras, advises orchestras of upcoming grant opportunities, and provides unique tips for orchestras applying for NEA support.
The NEA recently posted its FY13 Grants for Arts Projects guidelines. To assist orchestras, specifically, with the application process, the League attends the public sessions of NEA review panels, attends the National Council on the Arts public meetings, and confers with NEA program staff to outline helpful tips for preparing your application. Our Tips for NEA Grant Applications (.pdf) is updated each year to compile the links you'll need, gather expert advice from panelists and program staff, and call special attention to important changes all applicants should know.
- As first reported in November, the NEA has confirmed that it will no longer be accepting consortium applications for FY13 grants. In the past, an organization could apply up to two times - once on its own, and a second time in partnership with other organizations. The new single-application rule means that applicants must choose to apply either for an Art Works or Challenge America grant, with the additional important change that Arts in Media (formerly known as the Arts on Radio and Television) is now incorporated into the Art Works: Media Arts category and therefore also subject to the single-application rule.
- Another important change is that work samples can only be submitted electronically from now on. Detailed information and a breakdown of the schedule for submitting work samples via the new NEA GrantsOnline™ System (NEA-GO) are contained within the League's Tips resource.
- Art Works: Arts Education grantees should know that they will need to submit their assessment tools in the final report, and these tools may be shared publically.
- Lastly, selected grantees involved in the presentation of art will be required to conduct surveys of audience members to gauge the nature and extent of audience response to these art experiences. These selected grantees will receive materials, technical assistance, and up to $1,000 in nonmatching supplemental funding from the NEA.
Find more details, contact information for NEA program specialists, and valuable advice from NEA panelists in our customized Tips for orchestra applicants!

How to Check Your Magic Mouse's Battery LifeLast updated: 01/15/2013
Apple's Magic Mouse is probably the best wireless Bluetooth mouse available. But as with all wireless devices, the batteries will die eventually and you'll need to replace them. That's why it's a good idea to check your Magic Mouse's battery life before you leave home or deliver a presentation.
Fortunately, there's a quick way to check your mouse's remaining battery life. Here's how to do it:

How to Rebuild Spotlight's IndexLast updated: 01/10/2013
Spotlight is the revolutionary search technology built into OS X that creates an index of practically everything on your hard drive — including email messages, contacts, and even calendar events — and then uses this index to search your hard drive. OS X is supposed to update this index in real time when you create or modify files or folders, but problems occasionally crop up. Spotlight won't work correctly if this index is incomplete or corrupted. When search results don't appear as expected, it's probably time to manually rebuild Spotlight's index.
How to Set Your Mac's Time ZoneLast updated: 01/08/2013
Keeping your Mac's clock current used to be a challenge, but OS X now allows you to automate the process entirely. By specifying a time zone in system settings, your Mac can automatically adjust to changes in daylight savings time. And if you're a road warrior, you can set OS X to use location services to automatically determine the current time zone, so the current time zone will always be selected and the current time will always be displayed no matter where you are.
Here's how to set your Mac's time zone:

Backward Compatibility
Adventure spans generations
Play original Xbox classics on Xbox One
Play your favorites on the world's most powerful console
Backward Compatible Game LibraryTEXT LIST OF BACKWARD COMPATIBLE GAMES
Coming soon.
Free games every month. Now that's Gold.
Games with Gold titles for Xbox 360 are now playable on Xbox One, giving Xbox One owners more free games to play every month.
Top frequently asked questions
The digital titles that you own and are part of the Back Compatibility game catalogue will automatically show up in the "Ready to Install" section on your Xbox One. For disc-based games that are a part of the Back Compat game catalogue, insert the disc and the console will begin downloading the game to your hard drive. After the game has downloaded to your hard drive, users will still need to keep the game disc in the drive to play.
Xbox One Backward Compatibility is free and allows you to play select Xbox 360 and Original Xbox games you already own on Xbox One.
Xbox Live Gold is not required for Xbox One Backward Compatibility. However, it is required for any standard Xbox Live Gold feature like online multiplayer.
Functionality will be very similar. You can play the digital or disc-based game you own, taking advantage of Xbox One features like Game DVR and broadcasting.
Since these are the original games, not remasters, Xbox Live services such as online multiplayer and in-game marketplaces that were available on the Original Xbox, will not be available. However, offline multiplayer scenarios such as co-op, party scenarios (multiple controller on one console), and system-link are supported if they were supported on the Original Xbox. With system-link (if game supports the feature), you can play with others across Original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox One X consoles.
There are no Xbox achievements for Original Xbox games because this functionality was not available on the Original Xbox at that time of its release. Lastly, game saves will not transfer to Xbox One but once created on Xbox One, the game saves can transfer to other Xbox One consoles through the cloud.
There is. We have a full-text list for your convenience.

Last week, Flipkart stepped into the electronics market with the launch of its own tablet – the Digiflip Pro XT712. Much like the Amazon Kindle Fire, the Digiflip will serve as a vehicle to increase customer engagement with various Flipkart products. However, unlike the Kindle, Digiflip doesn't quite put Flipkart left, right, and center. Instead, it offers an almost pure stock Android experience with a couple of bundled Flipkart apps. But, before getting into the details of the software, let's take a closer look the hardware.
Unboxing the Digiflip
The packaging is neat and functional. Lifting the thermocol seat that comfortably houses the Digiflip, reveals the accessories compartment. Included in the package are a power adaptor (along with an USB cable), an in-ear earphone, an earphone converter, a manual, and a soft wipe. I also ordered the book case, which was available at 50% discount.
Appearance and Display
The Digiflip is sturdily built, and feels solid and reassuring. There's no metal here, but the polycarbonate body manages to avoid the cheap plasticky feeling. The power button and volume controls are on the top left, but there is no physical camera button. The 3.5 mm earphone jack is on the top, while the micro-USB port is at the bottom. The speaker grill is just beneath the front camera.
The Digiflip Pro sports a 7'' IPS display with a resolution of resolution of 1280 X 800, which amounts to a 216 ppi pixel-density. If you look closely, you can spot the pixels, and outdoor visibility is just about decent. However, considering the price range, the display is actually quite decent, with good contrast and viewing angles.
Perhaps the weakest point of the Digiflip Pro is the hardware powering the tablet. It uses the low-end MediaTek MT8382 chipset, which houses a 1.3 GHZ Quad Core CPU. GeekBench3 benchmark suggests that the CPU is on par with flagships from a couple of years back. The GPU is Mali 400 MP2 clocked at 500 MHz This is even weaker than the CPU, and is comparable to GPUs that Android flagships like the Galaxy SII were using as far back as 2011. Quite obviously, with such an outdated hardware, the Digiflip Pro doesn't fare very well in synthetic benchmarks.
Synthetic benchmarks aside, the Digiflip performs quite well for regular day to day tasks. Web browsing experience is smooth, as is watching videos on YouTube. It handles casual games like EA Golf and Score! With ease, but if you're planning on playing more heavy duty games, this is not the tablet for you.
The Digiflip features a 5 megapixel rear camera with flash and autofocus that's capable of recording videos at 1080p. The front camera is takes snaps at 2 megapixels. On paper all of these specs sound decent enough, but specs can be deceiving. There's no way to sugar coat this. The Digiflip camera is bad. Both the front and the back camera fail to take a decent picture in any lighting. Using the flash over exposes the picture to the point of hiding any detail in the image. Here are a few sample images captured with the rear camera.
Flipkart uses MxPlayer, which is a great decision, given that it's one of the most versatile players available in the market. MxPlayer managed to play back any video I threw at it, and had no issues in with playing back 720p HD videos, even with software renderer. 1080p videos, however, proved to be too much to handle for the software renderer (none of the formats I had worked with hardware renderer).
The stereo speaker won't impress anyone with its loudness or quality, but it gets the job done. And, thankfully, it's front-facing, which means most of the time (but not always) it's loud enough to be audible. As I mentioned earlier, the Digiflip accessories bundle also includes an earphone adaptor. The reason behind this is that the Digiflip uses OMTP standard, which pretty much everyone else has abandoned. If you want to use your Apple devices compatible existing earphone on the Digiflip or the Digiflip earphone on other new electronic devices, you'll need to use the bundled CTIA-OMTP converter. As far as the earphone itself is concerned, it's not very good. But, even using a different pair will only help improve sound quality marginally, as Digiflip's audio processor itself seems to produce a lot of noise.
Connectivity options include dual-SIM 3G HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, and USB OTG. There's no NFC. The battery is not removable and is rated at 3000 mAh battery with a talk time of around 8 hours. Digiflip ships with 16 gigs of internal storage (out of which about 12 gigs is available to the user), and supports micro SD cards up to 32 GB.
The Digiflip runs an almost stock Android 4.2.2 (Jellybean). While I'm glad that Flipkart chose to provide a near stock experience, it's disappointing that the version of Android that Digiflip is shipping with is over sixteen months old. Given that there are no custom modifications to handle, I don't understand why the Digiflip couldn't ship with KitKat. What's worrying is that Flipkart hasn't even committed to shipping KitKat or newer builds.
While Flipkart hasn't modified the core Android experience, the Digiflip comes bundled with Flipkart shopping and eBook apps, which aren't removable. The eBook app comes bundled with a dozen eBooks work Rs. 2, 300, while the shopping app includes various coupons with a cumulative discount of Rs. 5000. Each coupon can only be used once, and is valid until the end of the year.
The Digiflip is a rather well rounded tablet, whose main draw is obviously the low price point (Rs. 9,999). The added goodies thrown in by Flipkart (including a Platronics Bluetooth headset) sweeten the deal further. The weakest link of the Digiflip is its low-end chipset, which makes it unsuitable for heavy duty tasks. The camera output is also disappointing. However, the near stock Android helps the tablet to remain snappy and it's well suited as a media consumption device. The Digiflip is all about making the right compromises. It doesn't have any killer features to set it apart from the crowd. However, there' also no Achilles' heels. For a budget tablet, that can often prove to be enough.

We've been here for you for the last six months, starting back in September when "12 Years a Slave" and "Gravity" pulled to the front of the pack after wowing at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals. And here we are … yes, same as it ever was, with the Oscars coming around the bend on Sunday.
So, one last time, the envelopes, please. Here are our final picks, including two new (and hopefully improved) picks in the editing and live-action short categories that will seal the deal for you if you're playing at home.
"American Hustle," "Captain Phillips," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Gravity," "Her," "Nebraska," "Philomena," "12 Years a Slave," "The Wolf of Wall Street"
And the winner is: "12 Years a Slave." With so many choices, it feels like a year when picture and director will split. Some pundits see "Gravity" winning as the result of the academy's preferential voting system, which rewards movies that win a broad consensus. But "12 Years" should pick up plenty of first-place votes and appear high on a lot of ballots. Admittedly, it's a gut pick. But we're sticking with it.
Alfonso Cuarón, "Gravity"; Steve McQueen, "12 Years a Slave"; Alexander Payne, "Nebraska"; David O. Russell, "American Hustle"; Martin Scorsese, "The Wolf of Wall Street"
And the winner is: Cuarón. Well-liked and respected, Cuarón took Directors Guild of America honors for his landmark effort. He should repeat with the academy.
Christian Bale, "American Hustle"; Bruce Dern, "Nebraska"; Leonardo DiCaprio, "The Wolf of Wall Street"; Chiwetel Ejiofor, "12 Years a Slave"; Matthew McConaughey, "Dallas Buyers Club"
And the winner is: McConaughey. All right, all right, all right!
MORE: Fill out your Oscars ballot | See others' Oscar 2014 picks
Amy Adams, "American Hustle"; Cate Blanchett, "Blue Jasmine"; Sandra Bullock, "Gravity"; Judi Dench, "Philomena"; Meryl Streep, "August: Osage County"
And the winner is: Blanchett. After winning every prize leading up to the Oscars, the academy won't shun her for headlines involving Woody Allen.
Barkhad Abdi, "Captain Phillips"; Bradley Cooper, "American Hustle"; Michael Fassbender, "12 Years a Slave"; Jonah Hill, "The Wolf of Wall Street"; Jared Leto, "Dallas Buyers Club"
And the winner is: Leto. He and McConaughey will become the fifth pair of male actors from the same film to win lead and supporting Oscars.
Sally Hawkins, "Blue Jasmine"; Jennifer Lawrence, "American Hustle"; Lupita Nyong'o, "12 Years a Slave"; Julia Roberts, "August: Osage County"; June Squibb, "Nebraska"
And the winner is: Nyong'o. She's deserving, and many will feel it's a bit soon to reward Lawrence again.
PHOTOS: Oscars 2014 top nominees | Nominee reactions | Snubs and surprises
"Before Midnight," Richard Linklater, Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke; "Captain Phillips," Billy Ray; "Philomena," Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope; "12 Years a Slave," John Ridley; "The Wolf of Wall Street," Terence Winter
And the winner is: "12 Years a Slave." A landing spot for academy members not voting for "Slave" for best picture or director.
"American Hustle," Eric Warren Singer and David O. Russell; "Blue Jasmine," Woody Allen; "Dallas Buyers Club," Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack; "Her," Spike Jonze; "Nebraska," Bob Nelson
And the winner is: "American Hustle" probably won't win many Oscars, yet academy members will want to acknowledge it somewhere. This is the likeliest place, though it faces a tough challenge from "Her." Still, it seems counterintuitive to believe that voters loved "Hustle" enough to reward it with the most nominations (along with "Gravity") and then shut it out completely.
"The Croods"; "Despicable Me 2"; "Ernest & Celestine"; "Frozen"; "The Wind Rises"
And the winner is: "Frozen." Commercial juggernaut gives Disney its first win for animated feature.
MORE: Complete list of nominees | Play-at-home ballot | Actors who've never won Oscars
"The Grandmaster," Philippe Le Sourd; "Gravity," Emmanuel Lubezki; "Inside Llewyn Davis," Bruno Delbonnel; "Nebraska," Phedon Papamichael; "Prisoners," Roger A. Deakins
And the winner is: "Gravity." Cinephiles rejoice! Lubezki finally prevails … for the kind of computer-generated spectacle that angers purists in this category.
"American Hustle," Michael Wilkinson; "The Grandmaster," William Chang Suk Ping; "The Great Gatsby," Catherine Martin; "The Invisible Woman," Michael O'Connor; "12 Years a Slave," Patricia Norris
And the winner is: "Gatsby." Flash and fabric always rule, and "Gatsby" edges out "Hustle" on those counts. It wouldn't be shocking though if "Hustle," a best picture nominee filled with polyester and plunging necklines, pulls off an upset.
"The Act of Killing," "Cutie and the Boxer," "Dirty Wars," "The Square," "20 Feet From Stardom"
And the winner is: "20 Feet From Stardom." The acclaimed "Killing" could eke out a victory, but we lean toward the crowd-pleaser.
"American Hustle," Jay Cassidy, Crispin Struthers and Alan Baumgarten; "Captain Phillips," Christopher Rouse; "Dallas Buyers Club," John Mac McMurphy and Martin Pensa; "Gravity," Alfonso Cuarón and Mark Sanger; "12 Years a Slave," Joe Walker
And the winner is: "Captain Phillips." We originally leaned toward "Gravity," but Rouse gave "Phillips" a gripping urgency and is the more obvious piece of work. Should voters go for "Gravity" in a big way, it will be part of the sweep here.
PHOTOS: 10 years behind the scenes at the Oscars | Past performances | Awkward moments
"The Broken Circle Breakdown," "The Great Beauty," "The Hunt," "The Missing Picture," "Omar"
And the winner is: "The Great Beauty." Its Golden Globe win raised its profile; comparisons to Fellini hooked academy cinéastes.
"Dallas Buyers Club," Adruitha Lee and Robin Mathews; "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa," Stephen Prouty; "The Lone Ranger," Joel Harlow and Gloria Pasqua-Casny
And the winner is: "Dallas Buyers Club." With a median age of 63, the academy is not quite ready to hear "And the Oscar goes to … 'Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa!'" Not to mention the fact that not enough voters saw it in the first place. Go with the best picture nominee.
"Happy" from "Despicable Me 2," music and lyrics by Pharrell Williams; "Let It Go" from "Frozen," music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez; "The Moon Song" from "Her," music by Karen O, lyrics by Karen O and Spike Jonze; "Ordinary Love" from "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," music by Paul Hewson, Dave Evans, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, lyrics by Paul Hewson
And the winner is: "Let It Go." Because there isn't a singalong version of "Mandela," is there?
"The Book Thief," John Williams; "Gravity," Stephen Price; "Her," William Butler and Owen Pallett; "Philomena," Alexandre Desplat; "Saving Mr. Banks," Thomas Newman
And the winner is: "Gravity." The score's prominence — and excellence — gives Price an Oscar in his first try.
"American Hustle," production design: Judy Becker; set decoration: Heather Loeffler. "Gravity," production design: Andy Nicholson; set decoration: Rosie Goodwin and Joanne Woollard. "The Great Gatsby," production design: Catherine Martin; set decoration: Beverley Dunn. "Her," production design: K.K. Barrett; set decoration: Gene Serdena. "12 Years a Slave," production design: Adam Stockhausen; set decoration: Alice Baker.
And the winner is: Martin won for "Moulin Rouge," and voters are likely to go for her brand of razzle-dazzle again. "Gravity" is the dark horse, should it dominate the night.
"All Is Lost," Steve Boeddeker and Richard Hymns; "Captain Phillips," Oliver Tarney; "Gravity," Glenn Freemantle; "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," Brent Burge and Chris Ward; "Lone Survivor," Wylie Stateman
And the winner is: "Gravity." Bullock's breathing, the NASA chatter, the good (and bad) vibrations. Brilliant work.
"Captain Phillips," Chris Burdon, Mark Taylor, Mike Prestwood Smith and Chris Munro; "Gravity," Skip Lievsay, Niv Adiri, Christopher Benstead and Chris Munro; "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," Christopher Boyes, Michael Hedges, Michael Semanick and Tony Johnson; "Inside Llewyn Davis," Skip Lievsay, Greg Orloff and Peter F. Kurland; "Lone Survivor," Andy Koyama, Beau Borders and David Brownlow
And the winner is: "Gravity." For the way it uses silence, among many other reasons.
"Gravity," Tim Webber, Chris Lawrence, David Shirk and Neil Corbould; "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," Joe Letteri, Eric Saindon, David Clayton and Eric Reynolds; "Iron Man 3," Christopher Townsend, Guy Williams, Erik Nash and Dan Sudick; "The Lone Ranger," Tim Alexander, Gary Brozenich, Edson Williams and John Frazier; "Star Trek Into Darkness," Roger Guyett, Patrick Tubach, Ben Grossmann and Burt Dalton
And the winner is: "Gravity." Seamless work established a new standard for the medium.
"Feral," "Get a Horse!," "Mr. Hublot," "Possessions," "Room on the Broom"
And the winner is: "Get a Horse!" Inventive Disney short rides "Frozen's" coattails.
"CaveDigger," "Facing Fear," "Karama Has No Walls," "The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life," "Prison Terminal: The Last Days of Private Jack Hall"
And the winner is: "The Lady in Number 6." Moving portrait of a 109-year-old pianist, who was the world's oldest Holocaust survivor before her recent death.
"Aquel No Era Yo" (That Wasn't Me); "Avant Que De Tout Perdre" (Just Before Losing Everything); "Helium"; "Pitääkö Mun Kaikki Hoitaa?" (Do I Have to Take Care of Everything?); "The Voorman Problem"
And the winner is: "Helium." A number of academy members have told me how much they loved this sentimental story of a dying boy, so we're going with that. Yes, "The Voorman Problem" is the only one without subtitles. And it has Martin Freeman. But it's slight. And it just doesn't seem to be moving the needle with voters.

Engineers lay groundwork for 'vertically oriented nanoelectronics'
Engineers at Purdue University have developed a technique to grow individual carbon nanotubes vertically on top of a silicon wafer, a step toward making advanced electronics, wireless devices and sensors using nanotubes by stacking circuits and components in layers.
The technique might help develop a method for creating "vertically oriented" nanoelectronic devices, the electronic equivalent of a skyscraper, said Timothy S. Fisher, an associate professor of mechanical engineering who is leading the work with Timothy D. Sands, the Basil S. Turner Professor of Engineering.
"Verticality gives you the ability to fit more things into the same area, so you can add more and more layers while keeping the footprint the same size or smaller," Fisher said. "But before we can even think about using nanotubes in electronics, we have to learn how to put them where we want them."
The engineers first created a "thin film" containing two layers of aluminum sandwiching one ultra-thin layer of iron using electron-beam evaporation, a standard process employed in the semiconductor industry. The engineers then used "anodization," a process that causes metals to oxidize -- like rusting -- to selectively create tiny cylindrical cavities and turn the film into a "porous anodic alumina template" less than 1/100th the width of a human hair in thickness. During the process, an electric field was used to form a precisely aligned array of nanoscopic holes, turning aluminum into porous alumina, the oxidized form of aluminum also known as aluminum oxide.
A mixture of hydrogen and methane gas was then flowed into the template's holes, and microwave energy was applied to break down the methane, which contains carbon. The iron layer acted as a catalyst that prompted the carbon nanotubes to assemble from carbon originating in the methane, and the tubes then grew vertically out of the cavities.
"You get a single nanotube in each pore, and that's important because we can start to think about controlling how and where to put nanotubes to vertically integrate them for future electronic devices and sensing technologies," Sands said.
Findings are detailed in a research paper that appeared July 11 in the journal Nanotechnology. The paper was written by graduate students Matthew R. Maschmann and Aaron D. Franklin; postdoctoral research associate Placidus Amama; Dmitri Zakharov, a staff scientist at Purdue's Birck Nanotechnology Center; Eric Stach, an associate professor of materials engineering; Sands and Fisher.
"The pores in the template and the nanotubes that grow in the pores really self-assemble once you set the process in motion," said Stach, who used two types of electron microscopes to take images of the nanotubes emerging vertically from the cavities. The research is based at the Birck Nanotechnology Center in Purdue's Discovery Park, the university's hub for interdisciplinary research.
The cavities form within seconds, and the nanotubes take several minutes to finish growing. The holes vary in width from 30-50 nanometers. A nanometer, or billionth of a meter, is about as long as 10 atoms strung together.
Carbon nanotubes, which were discovered in the early 1990s, might enable industry to create new types of transistors and more powerful, energy-efficient computers, as well as ultra-thin "nanowires" for electronic circuits. Reaching that potential promise, however, won't be possible unless carbon nanotubes can be integrated with other parts of circuitry and devices, Sands said.
The experiments at Purdue yielded both single- and double-walled nanotubes, meaning they are made of either one or two single sheets of carbon atoms, yielding tubes about one nanometer in diameter.
Researchers will continue the work in efforts to understand which conditions are needed to produce single-wall tubes versus the double-wall variety and to learn how to produce more of one or the other.
Other researchers previously have made the templates, but the Purdue researchers are the first to add a layer of iron, which was Maschmann's idea, Fisher said.
"He was told by many people, including me, that it probably wouldn't work," Fisher said. "We were surprised to see that the nanotubes grow from the sidewall of the hole and then extend vertically."
Early applications are most likely in wireless computer networks and radar technology. Long-term uses are possible in new types of transistors, other electronic devices and circuits.

Governor Markell, Lt. Gov. Denn, AG Biden Join Forces to Unveil Responsible Gun Safety Proposals
(Wilmington, DE) – With the support of legislators and law enforcement agencies statewide, Governor Jack Markell, Lt. Governor Matt Denn and Attorney General Beau Biden joined together to unveil a series of gun safety proposals to keep guns out of the hands of persons who should not possess them and make our communities safer.
Joined by Secretary of Safety and Homeland Security Lew Schiliro, and surrounded by members of the General Assembly, police officers, members of the faith-based community, and other advocates, the Governor, Lt. Governor and Attorney General announced that they intend to introduce five proposals to address gun safety issues in the wake of the tragic Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Today's announcement coincided with the one-month anniversary of the tragedy in which 26 people (including 20 children) lost their lives in the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.
"The gun safety measures we are proposing will strengthen our ability to keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have them," said Governor Markell. "I am pleased to stand together with Lt. Gov. Denn and Attorney General Biden to unveil these proposals. No one wants guns in the hands of people with ill intent. We must not arm those who would harm. Instead, we must enact stronger laws to protect our communities. Reasonable gun safety laws, improvements to school safety and increased access to mental health treatment are three ways we can do better. This package of gun safety measures is directed at individuals who might impose violence with a gun."
"These proposals are part of a comprehensive approach to gun violence that includes improvements in our mental health system, improvements to school safety, and responsible oversight of guns," said Lt. Gov. Denn. "With respect to guns, our proposals focus on two important goals: keeping guns away from dangerous people, and protecting victims from the weapons most likely to be used illegally."
"The new laws we are proposing today will make Delaware a safer place to live, especially for our children," said Biden, who has successfully sought to change state laws to increase prison terms for criminals who use guns when they commit crimes. "As a father, veteran and the state's top law enforcement officer, I know that military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips designed for battle have no place on our streets. These proposals are a reasonable and sensible approach that will improve public safety and respect the Second Amendment."
Legislation on each of the proposals below will be introduced in the General Assembly over the next two weeks, with all bills expected to be introduced by January 24, 2013 (the last legislative day before the General Assembly breaks for Joint Finance Committee hearings).
The proposals are as follows:
1. Requiring Background Checks for Private Firearm Sales: Under existing law, when the sale or transfer of a firearm involves a licensed dealer, a background check must be performed. But when the sale or transfer does not involve a licensed dealer, and occurs between private buyers, no check is required. Because approximately 40% of all firearms nationwide are acquired from unlicensed sellers, this is an enormous loophole—one in which convicted felons, minors and other prohibited purchasers can readily avoid background checks and easily acquire guns. This bill would require that licensed dealers perform background checks in connection with the sale or transfer of all firearms, including sales between private buyers, except for transfers involving immediate family (parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, sibling or spouse). The background check requirement would not apply to the sale or transfer of shotguns, as no such check is required under current law for licensed dealers.
2. Requiring the Reporting of Lost and Stolen Firearms: There are two primary public safety benefits to requiring the reporting of lost and stolen firearms. First, it discourages straw purchases and deters gun trafficking. When a gun is found at a crime scene and later traced back to the original owner, the owner may falsely claim that a gun was lost or stolen in order to hide his involvement in trafficking or straw purchasing. A mandatory reporting requirement provides law enforcement notice of suspicious patterns of behavior by persons who repeatedly fail to file reports yet claim that their guns were lost or stolen after the guns were recovered from a crime scene. And second, it helps prevent unwarranted criminal accusations against owners whose guns have been lost or stolen. This bill would require individuals report a lost or stolen firearm within 48 hours of discovery. Individuals would file a report with either the police agency having jurisdiction over the location where the loss or theft occurred, or any Delaware State Police Troop.
3. Banning the Sale, Manufacture, Delivery and Unlawful Possession of Large-Capacity Magazines: According to the Citizens Crime Commission of New York, 30 mass shootings (with four or more victims killed) occurred in the United States from 1982 through 2012. Although the circumstances of such mass shootings varied, each incident had one thing in common: they all involved one or more large-capacity ammunition magazines. This bill would prohibit the manufacture, sale, purchase, transfer or delivery of large-capacity magazines. Large-capacity magazines are defined as magazines having the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds for any handgun and more than 5 rounds for any rifle or shotgun. Acknowledging that thousands of law-abiding Delawareans currently possess large-capacity magazines lawfully, the bill would make such possession unlawful only if it occurs (1) in a public place (which would include highways, schools, parks, restaurants, bars, and similar locations), and (2) within 20 feet of a firearm capable of accepting such magazine. The bill would exempt certain shooting ranges from the definition of "public place," so that the possession and use of large-capacity magazines at such ranges would not be prohibited.
4. Banning the Manufacture, Sale, Delivery and Unlawful Possession of Military Weapons: The sale of military-style assault weapons – firearms that are made for the battlefield and have no place in our communities – was outlawed in 1994, but the ban expired a decade later. One such weapon – the Bushmaster AR-15 – was used in the Newtown shootings and also in the murders of two firefighters in Webster, NY, on Christmas Eve last year. This bill would prohibit the manufacture, sale and delivery of these military weapons, while allowing the continued possession and use under certain circumstances of weapons purchased prior to the effective date of the ban.
5. Banning Possession of a Firearm Within 1,000 Feet of a School: This bill will help to ensure the safety of children in our schools. By outlawing possession of a firearm in close proximity to school, we will enable law enforcement to interdict those individuals who knowingly possess firearms and do so in near school buildings and school yards. The purpose of this law is to create safe school zones, where children are secure, where parents can have peace of mind that upon leaving them in the morning, they will not be subjected to gun violence, and where teachers can go about their important task of educating our youth without fear of violence. This is not intended to restrict the right of law abiding citizens to own guns. Nor is it intended to restrict those law abiding citizens who reside near schools, as the law specifically exempts them from its prohibitions while the guns are on their property. The law, likewise, is not intended to inhibit those individuals who possess concealed weapons permits from carrying firearms in conformity with the permits.

Right-hander Cruz not yet in camp
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Phillies pitchers and catchers officially reported to camp Tuesday, and 36 of the 37 expected players showed up.
Right-hander Juan Cruz, who is a non-roster invitee, is not in camp. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. called it a miscommunication issue.
Amaro said he is uncertain when Cruz will be in camp, but the 34-year-old almost certainly will miss the first official workout Wednesday because he would still need to take his physical, if he arrives.
Cruz went 1-1 with a 2.78 ERA in 43 appearances last season with the Pirates. He has an opt-out clause in his contract that states the Phillies will release him June 1 if he can get a spot on another team's 25-man roster.
