Jaguar gets name billing in Janet Jackson's "All for You World Tour" of 47 U.S. concerts and 25 shows at 10 European stops. Jaguar will display vehicles at the venues and get mentions in all ads promoting the shows and on concert tickets.
Each of the singer's shows will start with a video featuring Ms. Jackson with a black Jaguar X-Type, the automaker's entry-level sedan aimed at younger buyers. The video was produced by Spike Lee's 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks Inc., which was hired last year by Jaguar to produce spots to reach out to African Americans. -- Jean Halliday

The latest object to menace China with an unexpected propensity to explode is the humble automatic condom dispensary.
Chinese media reports that a Jiangsu province condom vending machine installed outside a public lavatory suddenly exploded violently, sending fragments of metal and condoms flying.
A car's windscreen was smashed by the shrapnel, but fortunately nobody was injured. The vending machine was completely destroyed.
The machine was operated by the local government, and their technical specialists have reassuringly explained that "there is no way a vending machine can explode."
They are reassuring the condom buying public that this is the first time one of their 60 machines has exploded.

Melbourne man found in quake zone
A Melbourne man who disappeared after Friday's devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan has been found safe and well.
English teacher Jason Briffa, 25, has been located in a village near Sendai.
Sendai, in the Miyagi Prefecture, bore the brunt of the deadly tsunami, which has claimed the lives of thousands.
Denis Cusack, his boss in Japan, says Mr Briffa has been helping out in a village there.
He says Mr Briffa is in good spirits and had not phoned home because of problems with the phone lines.
Mr Cusack says he immediately passed on the good news to the Briffa family.
"Obviously the phone lines have been down most of the time since Friday and he was able to get a signal and he called us," he said.
"His telephone was running low on battery but he said he was at the Murata high school and he's been helping locals with the clean-up for the past two days."
His mother, Mary Briffa, says she wants him home as soon as possible.
"I'm very happy about it, I really am, I just wish he would hurry up and come home though," she said.
"He's been there too long now, he's been gone over 12 months."
She says the family is relieved to hear the news, "but we are disappointed he didn't ring us himself".
Earlier, she expressed frustration at the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT) handling of the issue.
The family was only contacted by the department after a TV story about Mr Briffa aired last night.
DFAT says says it still has not made contact with Mr Briffa and it does not want to get its hopes up until direct contact has been made.
Meanwhile, the department says it has not received any reports of Australian casualties in Japan.
Attorney-General Robert McClelland says the Federal Government still has concerns for 140 Australians in parts of Japan.
DFAT has now confirmed the safety of 2,474 Australians in Japan. There are more than 3,000 Australians registered in the country.
But Mr McClelland says thousands of others in Japan have not registered with the Government.
"Not only do we try and find those who have registered which is much easier - we have contact numbers - but we try and ask other Australians and officials of Australians they may know in the vicinity," he said.
"So we're doing radio ads, our DFAT officers are going round to hospitals, (and) to morgues."

There are plenty of rave reviews in southern California for the Democrats' spectacular up north, but not many are coming from the increasingly influential Latino community here.
Some Hispanics, in fact, bore cynicism toward the party - despite the fact that there are 345 Hispanic delegates at the convention and Hispanic leaders are more prominent this year than ever before.
A real estate broker on the east side of Los Angeles, who is a Mexican immigrant, sums up what many Latinos are saying: ''I'm really disappointed with the Democratic Party for not stopping Simpson-Mazzoli,'' the proposed immigration reform bill moving through Congress.
''I think this is one of those conventions that isn't very exciting to our community,'' says Pete Moraga, news director at KMEX-TV, a Spanish-language Los Angeles station. ''There is really only one issue that the Latino community is interested in, and that's Simpson-Mazzoli.''
Does the San Francisco gathering put a united face on the Democratic Party?
''They look unified,'' says Daniel Saenz, a Los Angeles city employee and a Latino neighborhood activist. ''I don't think in actuality they are unified. It's a show, and a lot of things are rehearsed.''
Newsman Moraga says it wouldn't surprise him if Reagan carried 50 percent of the Latino vote in California.
A Los Angeles television producer had a very different response. ''I'm a Democrat. I was going to vote Republican'' until after Jackson's speech Tuesday night, says David Goldsmith, a senior vice-president with Gaylord Productions.
''It got my vote back for the Democratic Party, because it was not about issues, but about the idea of what the Democratic Party is all about, which is why I'm a Democrat in the first place.''

GREENSBORO � Colin Moran wasted no time making the Miami Marlins look like they made a good investment.
The former North Carolina third baseman smacked a solo home run in his first at-bat as a professional player, clubbing the ball out of NewBridge Bank Park on Wednesday night as a member of the Greensboro Grasshoppers.
�It was good to get the nerves out,� Moran said. �Definitely had a lot of thoughts that first at-bat and tried to clear them and that hit helped.�
Moran, who was the Marlins� first-round draftee and the sixth overall selection last month, belted a 2-2 fastball from Charleston RiverDogs left-hander Daniel Camarena over the fence in right field.
Moran, a left-handed hitter batting third in the Greensboro order, finished 1-for-3 with a walk in the Class A South Atlantic League game. Greensboro won, 4-3.
Moran didn�t know any member of the Grasshoppers when he met up with the team a few days ago. He provided quite an introduction with his initial plate appearance.
�It�s awesome, your first professional at-bat to hit a home run,� said Greensboro left fielder Cameron Flynn. �He was drafted in the first round for a reason.
�We were all just really excited for him, a cool experience. We definitely jumped on him when he came in (to the dugout).�
Flynn said there was no doubt that the shot � pretty much a line drive � would clear the fence. So Moran demonstrated power right away.
�That�s a plus,� Grasshoppers manager Jorge Hernandez said. �The rest of the (at-bats) were really good other than (the sixth-inning groundout on the first pitch).�
Since the Tar Heels were eliminated from the College World Series on June 21, Moran said his time consisted of �just working out and staying in shape� until he signed the deal with the Marlins last week. He agreed to a signing bonus in excess of $3.51 million, foregoing a senior season at North Carolina.
Even with the layoff, Moran figures to get in his hacks.
�There�s quite a bit of baseball to be played,� he said.
Moran said missing several weeks during the 2012 college season with a broken hand helped him prepare this time for the stretch without games.
�It feels like opening day all over again,� Moran said. �Always excitement and anxiousness going into a season. � You try to get comfortable and settle in.�
The Grasshoppers� season will end in early September. After that, Moran said he�ll compete in the Arizona Fall League.
Moran, 20, said beginning his professional career in Greensboro came with a degree of convenience. He�s from Rye, N.Y., yet he said playing collegiately in Chapel Hill and competing in the 2012 Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament in the Grasshoppers� ball park gave him a degree of comfort.
�Just because it was right down the road from where I went to school, pretty familiar with the area,� he said.
Past North Carolina teammates offered him basic suggestions about embarking on a professional career.
�The best advice is to not really change much,� he said.
Hernandez said Moran�s presence will make an immediate impact on the makeup of the batting order.
�We looked real good with him in the lineup and at third base,� he said. �We look like a whole different team.�
Moran�s mother attended the debut, while North Carolina assistant coach Scott Jackson was also on hand. Moran�s father was in Reno, Nev., where his older brother, former North Carolina pitcher Brian Moran, was in uniform for the Triple-A All-Star Game.
Colin Moran didn�t reveal any plans for his recent windfall, pointing out that his focus is on playing baseball.
An announced turnout of 4,156 was on hand.
Grasshoppers catcher Jose Behar also hit his first home of the season, a two-run shot in the second inning. It took 43 at-bats this season for Behar�s first long ball.
Grasshoppers starter Austin Brice (6-6), formerly of Northwood High School in Pittsboro, worked into the sixth inning for the victory.

Avitae: We're "Alive and Well"
Avitae would like you to know that the reports of its impending death are greatly exaggerated.
Yesterday, BevNET – citing information from former employees of the company – reported that Avitae might be facing the prospect of a shutdown. Shortly after the article was published, however, the caffeinated water company's social media operation took to the online world, refuting reports of its demise on both its Twitter and Facebook accounts.
After wishing everyone a happy new year, the company tweeted "We also wanted to let everyone know that despite a recent report, @avitaeusa is doing well and looking forward to a great 2013!"
Avitae's sole remaining employee surfaced yesterday to back up its (contracted) social media voice. That employee, interim COO Robert Amodie, didn't deny that Avitae is in the midst of a drastic downsizing, but he said the company is still active and in the process of reshaping its business operations.
Despite the layoffs, he said, "the board and investors are deeply committed to the brand and currently evaluating various operating models and funding needs."
Amodie confirmed that founder and CEO Brian Pitzer had been officially removed by the board on Oct. 29.
"The board wanted to find a beverage industry professional to help them get to the next level," Amodie said, adding that Pitzer is no longer on Avitae's board of directors.
Amodie also confirmed that Avitae laid off its entire staff in November.
As the sole employee, Amodie said he is spearheading the new direction of the company and launching a variety of efforts to bring it to profitability. Amodie said that he has spoken with a number of businesses with ties to the company over the last 4-5 weeks as a way of hitting the reset button.
"We had to have a lot of these same conversations with suppliers and distributors," Amodie said. "Everyone's been positive, for the most part."
As to how the company got to that point, Amodie stated that over the course of 2012, Avitae's board members had become increasingly concerned about the viability of their investment in the company.
According to a pair of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form D filings, Avitae, raised nearly $4.24 million in two rounds of funding that took place in November 2011. The forms reported Avitae's revenue at between $1 and $1,000,000.
The turnaround specialist said the board had hired him to assess the company's operating structure in June. Amodie said he began by evaluating all aspects of the company, including sales, marketing, and distribution, and was soon involved in implementing changes.
Despite Amodie's involvement, Avitae was drastically and consistently missing sales projections by as much as 80 percent, he said. With company expenses far outpacing revenue, Amodie said, the company structure had to be drastically changed.
"Anything else would have been irresponsible," Amodie said. "We had the expense structure of a much larger company than a typical start-up."
Amodie said that he is currently working with several other consultants to rebuild Avitae's management team, and is looking to hire a new CEO and a staff of 8-12 people within the "next few weeks." Amodie is also working on crafting a proposal for a new grassroots marketing strategy that calls for heavy sampling and guerrilla marketing efforts.
In order to minimize transportation expenses, Amodie said that Avitae moved its co-packing operations from Dallas to Indiana in December. The company is working with Manufacturing Solutions International (MSI), which has created a dedicated filling line for the brand. Amodie noted that the move consolidates bottling and packaging and brings the brand closer to its core consumer base, which is located primarily in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.
Although the company had at one time been working with 36 distributors, Avitae has now aligned itself with eight "that specialize in building brands," including Beverage Network of Maryland and Buckeye Distributing of Ohio, according to Amodie. Amodie stated that he did not know if any of its former distributor partners had broken their contracts with Avitae or vice versa.
Despite a claim by a source close to the company, Amodie said that Avitae is not liquidating any inventory in Mexico. He did note that Avitae is working with Agrup Indutrail Wire, SA DE C.V., a distributor that is Amodie said is doing a "pretty good job" of marketing and selling the brand in that country.
Although Avitae has been operating with only a single employee for nearly two months, Amodie said that, contrary to reports, there have been no supply issues with the brand, and it is continuing to be shipped to retailers. He said that Avitae secured a distribution deal with Walgreens nearly three months ago and will begin shipping eight cases of the water to nearly 2,600 stores across the country sometime next week.
Regarding reports that some former employees were suing the company for back pay, Amodie said he hasn't heard anything about the lawsuits.

More than 30 years ago, four people came together in a discontinued wing of a local community hospital to pursue a single mission--to enhance the quality of life and promote the well-being of the community through the provision of quality mental health, substance abuse, and speech and language services. Over the years, that small group has grown to a staff of more than 300 dedicated employees, and the hospital wing has been replaced by several community service and specialty service sites that operate under the auspices of Aroostook Mental Health Services, Inc. and Aroostook Mental Health Center (AMHC). Today, AMHC covers Aroostook, Hancock, and Washington Counties and serves more than 6,000 individuals annually.
Since it was incorporated as a private non-profit organization in 1964, AMHC has evolved into a behavioral health and speech and language service system. The service system offers a comprehensive continuum of care. Services include prevention, education, consultation, emergency and crisis intervention, assessment, outpatient and residential treatment, employer and student assistance, vocational, housing, and transportation services.
AMHC has also embraced the principles and technology of managed care and is working to develop strategic partnerships with managed care organizations and others in service to the community to develop programs that are sensitive and responsive to consumers. Our goal is to set an example of dedication to our customers and to be recognized as a leader in providing high quality, comprehensive, and cost effective health services.

In the weeks since Sept. 11, German investigators have been hunting terrorist "sleepers."
It now appears they have found one.
Earlier this week, officials said they'd caught a Turkish university student as he was leaving the country. In his bags were detonators, a CD-rom with instructions for conducting an Islamic holy war, and a protective suit against chemical and biological weapons, prosecutors said.
This success comes as Germany has begun to adopt new measures - including computer profiling - to spy on the large numbers of Muslims living within its borders.
US and German officials announced Tuesday in Washington that they had identified three Al Qaeda operatives from Germany believed to have been closely associated with three of the Sept. 11 hijackers, including Mohamed Atta. The three suspects - Said Bahaji, thought to be a Moroccan; Ramsi Binalshibh of Yemen; and Moroccan Zakariya Essabar, 24 - are now the target of an international manhunt.
Meanwhile, questions are being raised over how German authorities failed to see signs of the terrorist cell that was developing in Hamburg before the attacks on America.
"We were completely naive," says Gerhard Vogler, head of one of Germany's largest police unions.
Since Sept. 11, Germany's rusty and underfunded interior security system has been playing catch-up, reopening investigations of suspected Islamic extremists and keeping close track of religious groups already suspected of extremist tendencies.
The arrest of the Turkish student at Frankfurt airport was the sixth in Germany since Sept. 11, and came as investigators continued tracking the intricate terrorist cell in Hamburg, where it is believed the Sept. 11 attacks may have been planned.
So-called "sleeper" agents of such cells live unobtrusively until they receive a signal to activate an assigned plan.
Vogler says that the German intelligence system had been cut back since the fall of the Berlin Wall. With no communists to spy on, politicians saw no real need for an active intelligence system and began trimming funding. Law enforcement authorities had to reassign many of the officers involved in spying or dismiss them.
In the meantime, Muslim extremist groups took advantage of Germany's favorable immigration rules, large Muslim population, and fierce information-protection laws, and found a way to hide, say security experts.
"They found a heterogeneous population with a big Muslim diaspora," said Kai Hirschmann, a terrorism researcher at the Federal College for Security Studies. "Of course, 99 percent of the Muslim population is like you and me, but there is always a percentage you can describe as extremist."
Up until Sept. 11, authorities had categorized 3,250 people in Germany as Muslim extremists. But they had little idea of the extent and density of the network that lay behind those people.
Hirschmann says there is little in Germany's past experience with terrorism - including a Palestian group's attack during the 1972 Munich Olympics, and the political assassinations carried out by the leftist Red Army Faction in the 1970s and 1980s - that could have prepared it for the complexity of the Al Qaeda network.
"This was no small operation, like in the past," says Hirschmann. "Al Qaeda is like Terror Holding," he adds, comparing the network, which Osama Bin Laden is suspected of heading, to a multinational corporation. "It's a fight that we've had absolutely no experience in."
Government and security experts say measures such as computer-aided profiling, which was reinstituted by Germany's 16 state governments Oct. 1, are increasingly necessary in weeding out Islamic extremists.
Investigators have indicated that they are scrutinizing primarily Muslim men of Arab descent who are financially independent, study some technical or professional trade, and who make frequent trips out of the country. Other criteria are being kept secret. State and federal police are also tight-lipped about whether anyone has been brought in for questioning as a result of the method.
Faud Zaidan and other Muslim students at Darmstadt's Technical University, just south of Frankfurt, say that the increased vigilance unfairly targets them. "It's a form of racism," Zaidan says.
The university was compelled by a court order to give all of Zaidan's personal data to the state police. Investigators will now run that information, and the information of close to 200,000 Muslims studying at Germany's universities, through their computers in the effort to ferret out terrorist suspects.
Authorities "should not forget that there are 400 Muslims who died in New York," says Zaidan, leader of the Darmstadt school's Islamic Student Organization. "We are also victims of the attack."
Germany is also considering additional counterterrorism measures.
Earlier this month, German Interior Minister Otto Schily introduced his second package of proposals to the Bundestag, Germany's parliament. He proposes enlarging the country's border guard to include a new aircraft protection unit akin to US sky marshals, and giving new powers to the Federal Office of Criminal Investigation so that it may undertake investigations without probable cause.
Schily has also recommended changes to the national identification card to include features such as the cardholder's fingerprints. He also wants to make it easier to ban extremist groups that operate under the guise of religious groups, and make it easier to deport extremists or violent foreign nationals.

On December 22, 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission took the first step in overhauling SEC regulation of transfer agents, the little-discussed but critical intermediaries involved in the prompt clearance and settlement of almost all U.S. securities. After many years in which other types of financial market intermediaries took center stage on the SEC's rulemaking agenda, the Commission issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR) for new requirements for transfer agents, together with a concept release requesting public comment on the SEC's broader review of transfer agent regulation. The ANPR and the concept release make clear that the SEC intends to modernize the rules applicable to transfer agents, with the SEC acknowledging that its transfer agent rules, first adopted in 1977, are now out of step with the actual practices of transfer agents and the structure of today's securities markets. Among the areas the SEC identifies as ripe for rulemaking are a transfer agent's role with respect to unclaimed property, and transfer agent standards for protecting data from cyber attacks.
The issuance of the ANPR and the concept release follows sustained advocacy by SEC commissioners to improve and modernize the transfer agent regulatory regime. In a public statement regarding the issuance of the ANPR and the concept release, Commissioner Luis A. Aguilar noted the actions he and fellow commissioners have taken over the years to advance this effort, and also noted the unanimous support among SEC commissioners to tackle transfer agent regulation. In his statement, Commissioner Aguilar urges the SEC to move as quickly as possible toward proposing a set of carefully considered transfer agent rules and amendments.
Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
The SEC release begins with a hundred-page history of transfer agent regulation in the United States, and then moves quickly to identify specific areas in which the SEC intends to propose new or amended rules. In this regard, the ANPR discusses eight new or amended rules the SEC intends to propose. The new or amended rules would:
- Expand the scope of information collected by the SEC transfer agent forms (Forms TA-1 and TA-2) and capture all such information in a structured, electronic format to enhance aggregation, comparison, and analysis of data;
- Require that any arrangement for transfer agent services between a registered transfer agent and an issuer be set forth in a written agreement that addresses topics such as the transfer agent services to be provided, the fee schedule, and requirements for the handing over of transfer agent records to a successor transfer agent;
- Enhance transfer agents' requirements for the safeguarding of issuer and securityholder funds and securities;
- Apply an anti-fraud provision to specific activities of transfer agents;
- Require transfer agents to establish business continuity and disaster recovery plans;
- Require transfer agents to establish basic procedures regarding the use of information technology, including methods of safeguarding personally identifiable information;
- Revise the recordkeeping requirements to more fully capture the scope of a transfer agent's business activities; and
- Conform and update various terms and definitions to reflect modern systems and usage, as well as eliminating obsolete rules, such as those addressing Y2K issues.
Rulemaking - Areas to Watch
- Unclaimed Property and Safeguarding Funds and Securities. New or amended rules are likely to address a transfer agent's responsibility to safeguard securities and funds, including mutual fund redemption payments and other moneys owed to beneficial owners of securities, including property that ultimately may be escheated to a state. The SEC estimates (based on March 31, 2015, data) that approximately one-third of all transfer agents have possession of funds or securities for some period of time, ranging from a few days to several years. The SEC states that it intends to propose new rules or rule amendments that will, among other things, require transfer agents to comply with "specific minimum best practice requirements," such as: (1) maintaining secure vaults; (2) installing theft and fire alarms; (3) developing specific written procedures for access and control over securityholder accounts and information; (4) enhanced recordkeeping requirements; and (5) specific unclaimed property procedures (the release states that the SEC intends to propose amendments to Form TA-2 requiring transfer agents to disclose the number and/or dollar value of residual and unclaimed funds but does not otherwise discuss what those procedures might entail or their relationship to state law in the area). The release, however, does request comment on industry best practices for safeguarding residual or unclaimed funds and securities remaining in the transfer agent's possession or control post-payment but prior to the successful distribution to securityholders or escheatment to a state or territory.
- Conflicts of Interest. Importantly, the ANPR signals that the SEC intends to require transfer agents for the first time to publicly disclose (in Form TA-1 and possibly TA-2) all direct and indirect conflicts of interest, such as may result through common ownership of a transfer agent and an issuer, or a transfer agent and a broker-dealer, as well as disclose the specific services the transfer agent would be providing to the issuer, regardless of the nature of those services. The release seems to assume that disclosure rules of this type would bring greater transparency to the many activities performed by transfer agents.
- Annual Financial Reports. The SEC also intends to propose new rules that would subject transfer agents to financial reporting requirements that currently apply to broker-dealers, e.g., reporting annually to the SEC on a transfer agent's financial performance, including a statement of financial condition, audited by an independent public accountant, and maintaining issuer and securityholder funds in special segregated bank accounts – a concept designed to focus on the risk profile of individual transfer agents and bring greater scrutiny to their financial position.
- Chief Compliance Officers, Policies and Procedures. The SEC states that it intends to adopt a requirement for transfer agents to appoint a chief compliance officer (CCO), and identify that person in public filings submitted to the SEC. The release specifically asks for comment on whether the CCO should be required to file an annual compliance report with the SEC, and whether the SEC should require certain employees of registered transfer agents to register with the SEC. The release also states that the SEC intends to propose a new rule requiring each registered transfer agent to adopt policies and procedures reasonably designed to achieve compliance with applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, and requests comment on whether the SEC should adopt an email retention rule for transfer agents similar to the rule for broker-dealers.
- Cybersecurity. Citing what it believes is a threat to the ownership interests of securityholders and the possibility that trading in the United States could be impaired, the SEC states in the release that it intends to propose new or amended rules requiring transfer agents: to maintain business continuity plans; and to adopt procedures governing the use of information technology, including safeguards to protect the release of personally identifiable information and procedures that cover a transfer agent's electronic operations. Among other questions, the SEC asks for comment on whether it should impose specific safeguarding, recordkeeping, or other requirements on registered transfer agents and other entities registered or required to be registered with the SEC that "possess or control securityholder and account information (electronic or otherwise)." The SEC also asks for comment on how often transfer agents review operations and compliance policies and procedures related to cybersecurity and in this context, whether transfer agents are utilizing third-party vendors and if so, how transfer agents conduct oversight of such vendors.
- Restricted Securities. The SEC also indicates in the ANPR that it is paying close attention to the role transfer agents play in connection with the resale of restricted securities (i.e., removing restrictive legends/notations from/with respect to such securities) which permits them to trade in a wider market and, owing to its concerns with fraud in that market, intends to propose new rules designed to make illegal distributions of those securities more difficult.
Concept Release
In addition to identifying the specific rulemaking objectives noted above, the SEC release discusses and requests comment on a number of additional transfer agent issues that primarily arise from the diverse array of transfer agent functions and services that have developed over time. Transfer agent issues covered in the Concept Release include:
- Differences between transfer agent recordkeeping for registered securityholders and bank and broker-dealer recordkeeping for beneficial owners, and specifically whether banks and broker-dealers engaging in such recordkeeping should be required to comply with certain transfer agent rules; in this regard, the Concept Release points out that broker-dealers, banks and other intermediaries may actually provide a greater level of recordkeeping and transfer services to beneficial owners than transfer agents do, and queries whether such entities should be subject to the SEC's transfer agent rules;
- The processing of book-entry securities by transfer agents, and specifically possible amendments to the transfer agent rules to address the applicability of such rules to uncertificated or book-entry securities such as mutual funds;
- Characteristics of and issues associated with transfer agents to mutual funds and other registered investment companies, and whether new or amended rules governing transfer agents' services and activities with respect to such instruments could be appropriate;
- Possible new or amended rules to address transfer agents' likely involvement in certain crowdfunding offerings;
- Services provided by transfer agents and other entities that act as "third party administrators" for issuer-sponsored investment plans, and specifically whether new rules may be appropriate to bring greater clarity, consistency, and regulatory certainty to entities that act in such a capacity; and
- Issues associated with outside entities engaged by transfer agents to perform certain services, and transfer agents that do business or are located outside of the United States.
Concept Release - Areas to Watch
- Regulation of Third Party Administrators and Other Intermediaries. As noted above, the release notes that in addition to transfer agents, banks and broker-dealers may provide what are essentially transfer agent services to the beneficial owners of securities, and that, in addition, "some third party administrators and other intermediaries who provide recordkeeping, administrative, and other services for retirement and issuer plans may not be regulated directly at all by any federal financial regulator." Although the release does not outline what type of rulemaking the SEC may be considering in response to its observations in this regard, commenters are asked to opine on whether there are competitive or other differences among these various types of service providers that warrant different types of regulation. The release also notes that some of the entities operating in this space may have broker-dealer registration issues because they perform functions, such as netting buy and sell orders, which require broker-dealer registration.
- Mutual Fund Transfer Agents. Unlike transfer agents for operating company issuers, mutual fund transfer agents are currently exempt from certain of the SEC transfer agent rules, including certain recordkeeping rules, and in the SEC's view, may perform functions that are intrinsically more complex than those performed by operating company transfer agents. In view of these and other factors, the SEC believes it is now appropriate to examine the regulation of transfer agents that provide services to investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, UITs, and ETFs. As part of this examination, the SEC: (1) requests comment on whether it should address specific issues related to mutual fund transfer agents and transfer agents that service other registered investment companies; (2) requests information regarding how mutual fund transfer agents are compensated; and (3) asks for comment on whether the SEC should propose rules specific to "as of" pricing and the use of sub-transfer agents.
There is a 60-day public comment period for both the ANPR and the Concept Release. Comments must be received by the SEC by February 29, 2016. We expect significant interest in the release, in part because it solicits comment on such a broad range of topics, many of which impact the daily operations of issuers, broker-dealers, banks, mutual funds, and retirement plan platform providers, in addition to transfer agents. In all, the release poses 170 questions on which the SEC solicits feedback.

Cleckheaton travelled to Brinkburn for their first game against West Hartlepool since the 2013/14 season buoyed by the previous weeks big victory vs Northern. Cleckheaton had the better playing record with 4 wins and 4 defeats this season whilst the hosts had just 1 win and a draw from 8 games .
West kicked off on a fine afternoon and got the scoreboard moving within 2 minutes with a penalty goal by Painter from 25 metres following a high tackle. On 12 minutes , Cleckheaton were penalised again for offside at a ruck in front of the posts but the kick at goal was missed. Play was becoming a little scrappy and after 20 minutes following an infringement by West Hartlepool , Mike Swetman had a chance of a kick at goal from 35 metres but the kick sailed wide. Cleckheaton had plenty of possession, the scrum was solid and the line out was dominant. On 27 minutes following good work by the pack the ball was moved quickly left and winger Pat Foulstone got outside his opposite number who had tried to intercept and strolled in for a well worked try. Swetman was narrowly wide with the extras and Cleck led 3-5. However on 38 minutes , Swetman increased the lead with a penalty goal after Wests killed the ball with a try looking inevitable , Ryan Painter was dispatched to the sin bin and Cleck lead 3-8. There was time before the break for the hosts to reduce the lead but the 40 metre attempt was wide and the score remained at 3-8.
At the start of the 2nd half Cleck had a man advantage but couldn't increase the lead after a series of handling errors got Wests in good field position. Yet another infringement by Cleck offered another penalty goal attempt but Painter was having an off day as his kick on 49 minutes sailed wide again. Minutes later Wests were in front following a good move and offload by Miller on as a replacement saw Painter darting for the line was halted by a high tackle and the referee played the advantage and a try was awarded and the extra points made the score 10-8. Tempers were getting a bit frayed and both captains were called together and after a long lecture by the referee the game continued with 15 players aside.
Cleck had another reprieve on 58 minutes when Painter missed his 4th penalty goal attempt and at that stage the home team should have been out of sight. On 72 minutes West Hartlepool got their 2nd try after Cleck lost a line out on their own throw and with the defence in disarray , Butcher scampered over for a try next to the posts and Painter was successful with the conversion to make the score 17-8.
There was still time for another score and with good drives from Cleck play got to the try line and lost possession with the referee playing penalty advantage . Swetman stepped up and slotted a simple penalty to make the score 17-11. The final bit of action involved a scuffle with both packs involved and whilst it appeared the initial penalty was going to Cleck after a bit of retaliation it was reversed and Barnard and Baggs were sent to the sin bin.As the ball went out of play the referee blew for full time and Cleckheaton had to settle for a single losing bonus point on a disappointing afternoon for the Cleck followers.
Next week Cleckheaton entertain local rivals Huddersfield YMCA at Moorend and kick off has been moved to 3.00pm.

Video games are very popular for many ages. Adolescents that play them will find that they will adapt many skills from their experience.
Good Hand/Eye Coordination
When an adolescent plays a video game, they will develop good hand/eye coordination. They will need to pay attention to everything that is happening on the screen, and they will also need to make sure that they use the controls properly. Since this takes a lot of concentration on their part, they will be able to create a strong skill set.
Following Directions And Rules
Gamers learn how to follow directions and pay attention to the rules. This will give them a great idea of how to understand that there are penalties if they do not follow the directions or disobey rules. When they learn this skill, they will understand what it will be like to follow authority when they get older and take a job.
Learn Typing Skills
When they are playing the games on their computer, they will learn how to use and manipulate a keyboard. As they use the keyboard more often, they will become faster at using it. This skill will be very beneficial as they grow up.
Caring For A Computer Or Properties
Since they will be playing on a computer, they will become accustomed to how to care for it and also how to make sure it is working properly. These skills will assist them with their schoolwork and later with jobs that they might acquire.
Becoming Accustomed To Healthy Competition
The ability to engage in healthy competition is another skill that adolescents will pick up when they play video games. They will need to understand that other people may win or be better than they are on something, and this lesson can help them when they get older and they go out into the world.
Multi Tasking
An adolescent that plays video games on a regular basis, will learn how to multi task. They will find that they will need to do more things at the same time, and when they practice this, it will help them in many ways.
Learning The Value Of Discipline
Discipline is something that a young game player will learn right away. They will need to understand that they won't win unless they keep trying to master the game.
Dedication As An Attitude
Since an adolescent will be able to learn dedication to their favorite video games, they will understand more than those that don't play them. Having dedication will allow them to continue playing the games in order to perfect their skills and master the game.
Determination As Another Skill
The games are exciting and filled with action. An adolescent will be intrigued by them, and they will be determined to play again to beat their last score.
Gaming Websites Help Them Strive To Become Experts
Sites will provide the adolescents with information to ways on how to perfect their skills. They will become better at the games when they practice them a lot.
Gaming is very popular with the younger generation. They are starting to play at younger ages. With proper guidance, they can be allowed to do so because of the skills that they will acquire.
Tony Archer has been writing about the gaming industry for many years. A person can learn more about him and read his work by searching on Google+.

That avoids having to load the module when installing. If you are going to put your root fs on RAID, you'll need to compile support ServeRAID in anyway. -davidc

Teeth become stained over the years. Whether it happens because of age or because of repeated habits such as smoking or drinking coffee, yellowing teeth is a constant threat. The good news is that there are plenty of ways to reverse or mask stains. With procedures such as professional teeth whitening or veneers, patients nowadays can easily overcome the embarrassment of yellow teeth. But did you know that dental bonding is just as effective at masking stains? In fact, dental bonding whitening is faster and cheaper than veneers.
How Can Dental Bonding Whiten Your Teeth?
First off, dental bonding is a resin material made out of plastic. This material is easy to mold and can be applied to a tooth to change its shape and color. When this material is cured with a light it is permanently "bonded" to that tooth.
Most of the time, bonding is used to change the shape of the tooth. For example, when a tooth is broken, chipped, misshapen or when there are gaps between teeth a dentist can use dental bonding to mask these features. However, this resin material can also be smoothed over the front of a tooth to whiten the tooth.
How is this done?
When a tooth (or multiple teeth) is badly stained, the patient may choose to use dental bonding as a form of whitening. This is done by first etching the front of the tooth. This helps the resin to attach to the natural tooth. It also creates a bit more room for the dental bonding and prevents a bulky fit. The etching process is completed by placing a mild acid directly on the tooth.
Once the etching is complete, you and your dentist can choose the shade of bonding for a whiter smile. Once the shade is chosen, the dentist will smooth a thin layer over the stained teeth. Then, the resin is cured with a light. Dental bonding whitening is quicker than veneers- the process generally takes about 30 minutes per tooth. While the time depends on the amount of teeth receiving bonding, the procedure is usually done in one appointment. Bonding is also cheaper than veneers- the cost per tooth for bonding is a fraction of the cost of one veneer.
Things to Remember About Dental Bonding
There are some things to remember when it comes to dental bonding. First off, bonding doesn't react to whitening products. If you want to have your teeth professionally whitened, we recommend you do this first and then choose bonding to match your newly whitened teeth. This will help you avoid teeth that are different shades. Dental bonding is also more susceptible to staining than veneers. Remember to avoid dark foods and drinks in order to keep your smile whiter for longer! For more information on how dental bonding can benefit you click here.

If you have a number of dental and oral health issues that are keeping you from having a smile that looks and feels as good as you would like to, a full mouth reconstruction can be an excellent solution. Here at Kane & Kerper Dentistry in Oxnard, we have helped many patients achieve the bright and beautiful smile they've wanted with a full mouth reconstruction.
What will my full mouth reconstruction fix?
A full mouth reconstruction is personalized for each patient and can be used to fix a number of dental and oral health problems, including:
- Teeth that have fallen out
- Broken teeth
- Teeth damaged due to acid erosion
- Bite issues that are causing headaches, jaw pain, and TMJ/TMD
- Teeth are worn down due to bruxism
- Cosmetic dentistry issues
How will the reconstruction be completed?
The first step in a full mouth reconstruction is a full examination of your teeth, jaw, and gums. We may also take digital x-rays and impressions of your teeth and jaws. These will be used to create a model that will show us every aspect of your bite. This will allow us to recommend any treatments that may be necessary. Our dentists will also consider the health of your gums, as well as the shade and shape of your teeth and your overall facial structure. This will ensure that your restorations have an overall pleasing effect on your appearance.
What treatments will be involved in the reconstruction process?
The treatments involved in your reconstruction plan will depend on the specific dental issues that you and your dentist choose to address. We customize each full mouth reconstruction plan to the individual patient. Some common procedures include:
- Professional cleaning and whitening
- Periodontal treatment and contouring
- Orthodontics
- Dental implants
- Crown lengthening
- Dental veneers, or Lumineers
If you have issues with your jaw positioning, you may need orthognathic surgery to correct it. You may also receive bone or soft tissue grafts for gum and bone loss. Your dentist will discuss each treatment with you before beginning the full mouth reconstruction process.
If you have more questions about full mouth reconstruction, or if you would like to know if this treatment would be right for you, call or email us today to schedule your consultation. We look forward to helping you achieve your ideal smile.

If North Korea was going to strike a blow against its neighbor, there might be no better time than now. Kim Jong Il is in failing health and what would be a better symbol than to attack on the 60th anniversary of the Korean War? The sinking of the Cheonan might have been a test by North Korea of both the South Korean military's preparedness as well as the martial inclinations of the South Koreans. I, for one, will be glad that I will be out of the country on June 25, the sixtieth anniversary day. Thinking about all of Seoul fleeing south as artillery, bombs, and perhaps (no, probably) chemical weapons crash down into this urban conglomeration is a chilling thought. Many older Koreans remember the war; I'm sure that repeating it again, with even more disastrous consequences, is something that they hope never happens.
A war in Korea would seem to most like a terrible distraction from our current military efforts abroad, a conflict we cannot afford in terms of both blood and treasure. Why is our military here? many ask. The Koreans are not poor peasants any more, they are a successful, prosperous nation. Can't they protect themselves?
I think that to look at Korea is a good way to measure our current efforts other places in the world. America's role in Korea has not been one of calculated strategy or politics, nor stemmed from an shared past or affinity in ideas. It has resembled more of making the best of a bad situation from the very beginning. Our occupation and protection of Korea was our first major experience in facing a limited war with few recourses for a solution. Certainly the Indian Wars, the Moro Rebellion, and forays by the Marines into Central America during the 1910-1920s were examples of limited wars, but none had the same sort of dire implications for the international order like the Korean crisis did.
Many who looked at Korea back then could have pointed to the negative aspects of the country to justify abandoning it, much in the same way that many advocate abandoning Afghanistan now. Korea was poor, rural, perhaps even feudal. It had no great inclination toward commerce or industry; its mindset was traditional and Confucian. The Hermit Kingdom was happy to do things as it saw fit, without regard for others expectations. A noble attribute indeed, but one which did little to convince others of its worthiness to deserve an investment of precious lives, resources, and political capital.
Yet if one looks at Korea today, it is easy to see the positive attributes that Koreans possess that made the country successful: an immense capacity for hard work, beyond the comprehension of most Westerners; a focus on success within the framework of society instead of reorganizing everything through violent revolution; an obligation to one's family, friends, and, to a lesser extent, nation, in one's efforts to succeed; an appreciation of material progress, something strange for a Buddhist land. These attributes seem obvious now but perhaps were discounted as irrelevant sixty years ago.
The conundrums of Afghanistan are similar to Korea. Not that the countries are similar in many ways. Korea is small and dense, with fertile land and a sea on three sides, while Afghanistan is much larger and disconnected, with a much more varied and harsh environment. Koreans shares a culture, language, and race with virtually no exceptions, while Afghanis are a much larger patchwork. Korean culture emphasizes devotion to society, authority, and one's place in serving them; Afghanistan is much more independent and tribal in its loyalties. The two are hardly comparable. But the point is that our experience in Afghanistan may be understood within the context of our own in Korea. We entered neither by choice and found ourselves questioning our intentions and strategy. Just as we are confounded by corrupt Afghani officials, so too was the U.S. Army dismayed at Korean police who executed dissidents during the war. And just as the Taliban flee to safety in Pakistani tribal areas, so too did North Korean and Chinese units retreat beyond the Yalu to rest and refit. Korea was an ugly war with little glory and a hardly acceptable end, and the same might be said for Afghanistan. Yet we know from Korea that some good may come of it all.
This is not to say that we will succeed in Afghanistan, nor that we will fail. Rather, it is an acknowledgement of the unpredictability of how we understand what limited information we possess. Just as we could not have expected that certain aspects of Korea would have turned into strengths rather than weaknesses, to say that Afghanistan is doomed because of such-and-such a trait is to expect too much of our own foresight.
Yet if there is one thing that we should apply to Afghanistan from our experience in Korea, it is that if a troubled, torn country is to have any hope of becoming a peaceful, successful participant in the world, it must be guarded for an extended period of time and require a long investment of national will and resources. America is still in Korea and, although its land forces are dwarfed in numbers by the North Korean army, its naval, air, and even nuclear power provides a serious deterrent to those north of the DMZ. To leave would mean disaster for Korea. The last time we thought it was safe and left, in 1948, we found ourselves returning two years later to repulse an invasion at great cost to both soldiers and civilians alike. But leaving is precisely what we are doing in Afghanistan. President Obama has said that we are leaving Afghanistan beginning in 2011. We will create conditions suitable for our withdrawal and then never return.
But we do not get to choose the situation. We do not choose history, it chooses us. Just as we could not avoid being drawn into a conflict in Korea without compromising our own national security, dependent on the strategy of containment, we cannot expect that we will remain out of Afghanistan so long as there is a threat from Islamic extremism. Korea was a pawn in the hands of greater powers, for better or worse, just as Afghanistan is enmeshed between Iran and Pakistan. If we leave Afghanistan, we will go back, only when the situation gets bloody and desperate. This is not to say that staying in Afghanistan is a good thing or will even accomplish a successful end. But we must understand that simply leaving for good is not an option.
Korea is a strange place to me and I confess to not understanding and judging it harshly many times. But when I look past the idiosyncrasies to the heart of the people, I see something worth protecting. They are hard workers, patriots, entrepreneurs, and family people, imbued with a positive attitude about their own future. That is what we should be asking ourselves about Afghanistan. Are Afghanis worth protecting? Can they be good people and contribute something worthwhile to this world? If so, then I think we all know what we must do.

Ex-frat officer testifies against brothers in pledge's death
STROUDSBURG, Pennsylvania – A former Pennsylvania college fraternity president testified that he and four others charged in a pledge's death during an initiation ritual in the Poconos tried to "cover it all up" when they met weeks later.
Daniel Li testified against his four Baruch College fraternity brothers charged with third-degree murder in the 2013 beating death of 18-year-old Chun "Michael" Deng.
The five defendants, all from the borough of Queens in New York, were held for trial in northeastern Pennsylvania after the daylong preliminary hearing Monday. All but one had posted bail by late Monday night.
"They may have used some bad judgment, but that doesn't mean that they were covering up a homicide"
Police have said the fraternity members blindfolded Deng, forced him to wear a heavy backpack and then repeatedly tackled him during a hazing ritual known as the glass ceiling.
Deng fell unconscious and was carried inside the house while fraternity members changed his clothes and searched online for information about his symptoms, waiting an hour before taking him to the hospital, according to court documents.
Deng, who had suffered a brain injury, died a day later.
Two weeks later, the Pi Delta Psi brothers gathered in New York to decide what to tell police, according to Li, who was the local chapter president.
"It was to determine what everyone said to police after Michael Deng's death. Charles Lai wanted to find out what everyone said so he could tell his lawyer," Li said, according to WNEP-TV.
Defense lawyer Steven Brill, who represents co-defendant Sheldon Wong, called the death an accident. No one initially thought the injuries were life-threatening, he said.
"These are scared kids who clearly had no intention to commit any crimes that weekend. So when this accident occurred, they may have used some bad judgment, but that doesn't mean that they were covering up a homicide," he told The Associated Press after the hearing.
He said there was no testimony Monday that Deng had asked for the hazing to stop, or was taking part against his will in the activities at the rented house in the mountains. There also was no evidence that Deng or anyone else had been drinking before he fell on the snow and ice, Brill said.
"He knew, like the other pledges knew, that this was the weekend he was going to cross over, to become a brother, and he knew what that entailed," Brill said.
The other defendants are Charles Lai, Kenny Kwan and Raymond Lam. Kwan was the last person to tackle Deng, Li testified.

Hierarchical Great Vespers for Feast of St. Andrew
Hierarchical Great Vespers for the Feast of St. Andrew
On the evening of Tuesday November 29th Hierarchical Great Vespers was celebrated, at the Cathedral chapel in Brookline, MA, for the Feast of St. Andrew the First-called, patron saint of the Metropolis of Boston. His Eminence had the distinct pleasure of welcoming Cardinal Sean O'Malley and his guests from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. Both clergy and faithful from different parts of the Metropolis were present to celebrate this feast.

Cardinal joins Boston Greek Orthodox for patronal feast
Written by: Mark Labbe Boston Pilot
BROOKLINE -- Following long-standing ecumenical tradition, the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston invited representatives of the Archdiocese of Boston, Nov. 29, to celebrate the Feast of St. Andrew at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral Center Chapel in Brookline.
Locally mirroring the practice of the pope and the ecumenical patriarch, since 1996 the Greek Orthodox and Catholic communities of Boston have exchanged delegations on their patronal feast days -- the Feast of St. Andrew for the Orthodox and the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul for Catholics.
Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley led the representatives from the archdiocese, and exchanged gifts with Metropolitan Methodios before attending a vespers service celebrated by the metropolitan.
The service began with chanting as incense filled the packed chapel. An icon of St. Andrew was carried in procession around the chapel and placed on a podium behind a small table on which sat five loaves of bread to be blessed and distributed at the service.
The bread served as a reminder of the five loaves that were used at the miraculous feeding of the 5,000, as it was St. Andrew who told Jesus of the boy with "five small barley loaves and two small fish."
In remarks at the end of the service, the Metropolitan thanked Cardinal O'Malley and the other representatives from the archdiocese for their presence.
The metropolitan recalled how in June he led the delegation of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople to the Liturgy of the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul celebrated at St. Peter's Basilica.
"It was an experience which will forever be etched upon my soul, because I had the opportunity of being in the presence of Pope Francis, truly a dedicated man of God," Metropolitan Methodios said.
"During our time together, His Holiness stressed the need for us all, Roman Catholics and Orthodox, to bear witness to the love of God in the world in which we live in. He stressed that the search for unity among Christians is an urgent task, indeed it is imperative, because our world thirsts for truth, for love and hope, for peace and unity, and yearns to hear Orthodox and Roman Catholics proclaim with one voice the Ama Deum, the good news of the Gospel," he said.
In his own remarks, Cardinal O'Malley thanked the metropolitan for his hospitality and his friendship, and also recalled Pope Francis, saying that the pope has stressed that the quest for Christian unity is "central to our mission as Jesus' disciples."
That is something, he said, that Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, spiritual leader of Orthodox worldwide, has stressed as well.
In a world in which people are persecuted for their faith and where people turn away from the values given in the Gospel, "it's very important that we come together as believers, to join our voice in praise for God, and to join our voice lifting up the truths of the Gospel so that the world we see Christ's light and rejoice," said the cardinal.
Speaking with The Pilot at a reception following the service, Jesse Kroger, an Orthodox seminarian at the Hellenic College Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, said he had attended a few feast day services before, and noted the steps towards unity the archdiocese and the Orthodox Metropolis have made.
The fact that the cardinal attends the Feast of St. Andrew and that the metropolitan attends the Feasts of Sts. Peter and Paul "shows that they do support each other," Kroger said.
"They have been very supportive of the dialogue that's been going on for the last 50 years," he said.
He added that while he has not attended the Mass for the Feasts of Sts. Peter and Paul, "it would be really interesting to see."
Charlie Bates, a Catholic who is studying theology at Boston College, said it was his first time attending an Orthodox vespers service.
The spiritual leaders' remarks at the end of the service "resonated" with him, said Bates, particularly the messages of proclaiming the Gospel with one voice.
"I think the theological differences are there, and that's going to take a long time to work out, but the really urgent thing is proclaiming the Gospel, and there's a lot we can do right now in uniting our voices," he said.

It was my great honor this year to lead the delegation of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople to the Liturgy of the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul celebrated at St. Peter's Basilica.
For several years I had served on the Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Six months after I left the Synod I got a phone call... to go to the Vatican.
I can't say enough about Pope Francis, his humility, dignity, and the way he welcomed me and the rest of the delegation. In a separate audience with him in his office, I came to know a man that was very interested in the unity of our Churches.
He welcomed us and the whole delegation and expressed his brotherly love and admiration for Patriarch Bartholomew. I read the patriarchal letter, followed by the traditional exchange of gifts. Among the issues we discussed was the dialogue here in the United States, and Archbishop (now Cardinal) Tobin and his fine leadership as co-chair of the North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation.
Pope Francis was aware of the work of the commission and the statements we have made over the past 50 years.
During our time at the Vatican we were welcome to stay at the Domus Santa Marta. In a rare event, he had lunch with our delegation on two occasions. Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity was present at both lunches, and after one of the lunches we met with him and undersecretary Father Andrea Palmieri.
At the Liturgy, during which the pallia were conferred upon new archbishops, I was given a seat of honor. The pope went out of his way to come to where I was standing where we exchanged greetings and the sign of peace. And then, during the mass, I accompanied the Pope down into the Confessio where the relics of St. Peter are treasured. We had a chance to offer a silent prayer together.
I considered it a great blessing from God to be able to venerate the relics and to be with Pope Francis who made a great impression. I said that Christianity cannot afford division, Christianity has to be united and to express its voice in a united way. And he agreed.
Every time I'm at a Catholic Mass, I pray that God lead us to the day we share that common cup, share the witness to the world in which we live. It's a scandal that we remain divided and I am grieved I can't participate. I feel the same when Cardinal O'Malley comes to our cathedral in Boston. Patriarch Athenagoras' theology was that we have to get to the point where we can share the common cup... He felt the pain of the laity who ask, "Why?" Patriarch Bartholomew continues that deep commitment to restoring unity.

The movie version of "Les Enfants Terribles," made in 1949 and also known as "The Strange Ones," was directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, one of the most original French filmmakers of the postwar era. Jean Cocteau himself wrote the screenplay, almost as graceful as his original novel, and narrates the story in his inimitable voice, as dry as dust and yet as evocative as any poet.
Edouard Dermithe and Nicole Stephane have a physical resemblance to each other that makes them ideal for the roles of Paul and Elisabeth, the brother and sister who live in a sexually confused, private dream world that's ultimately shaken apart by Paul's romantic attachments. The camera work, at once crisply efficient and richly expressive, is by the great Henri Decae.
In light of Philip Glass's new adaptation, it's interesting to note that Melville's movie enhances its powerful emotions with a music score taken from the Baroque master Antonio Vivaldi. It includes a four-piano adaptation of one Vivaldi piece that was composed by J.S. Bach and has a repetitive, almost minimalist sound that Glass himself must recognize as a close counterpart to his own pulsing style. Glass's decision to use multiple pianos as the sole instruments of his version must also have been suggested by the Bach-Vivaldi piece.
Melville's film of "Les Enfants Terribles" is available on home-video cassette from Water Bearer Films.

BOYNTON BEACH — When they strike up the band July 4 at the city`s Boat Club Park, the celebration will note the birth of a nation and the opening of the newly renovated park.
While the park reopened May 29, its grand opening will be celebrated in conjunction with the annual Independence Day festivities there.
The park was closed for about five months while a $600,000 renovation project was completed. The project was jointly funded by the city and the state Department of Natural Resources.
Renovation included rebuilding the boat-launching ramps, building new restrooms and new picnic shelters, remodeling existing shelters, improving the sprinkler system, renovating the Boat Club building, and constructing a 300- foot fishing pier and boardwalk, said John Wildner, city parks superintendent.
``It`s a big improvement. We tried to do it so the area would be a place where families will be able to go,`` Wildner said. ``It used to be kind of a wild and woolly area. We`re trying to discourage that type of activity and encourage more family activity.``
Included on the July Fourth agenda will be a 30-minute ceremony to mark the official reopening of the park, said Charles Frederick, city recreation and park director. Frederick said the ceremony is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. and will include presentations by Mayor Nick Cassandra and other officials.
Also expected on Independence Day are food concessions, the launching of red, white and blue balloons, patriotic and other music, and of course, fireworks.
He said the park has been very popular with boaters since it reopened, especially on weekends.
In fact, because of the volume of boaters on weekends, Frederick said officials will be monitoring the park for the next month to determine whether an attendant is needed.

Looking for a reactionSuzanne Parete-Koon '97
American Institute of Physics State Department Science Fellow,
Washington D.C.
Majors: chemistry and physics
Suzanne's interest in science began at a young age with her parents reading Carl Sagan's Cosmos to her. "I was always curious about 'why' things worked," she says. "It was never good enough to know just 'how.' Science fit in nicely with my never-ending chorus of 'whys.'" In addition to liking science, Suzanne was interested in writing, politics and people, and she sought out ways for her career to incorporate each.
Serving as a fellow.
This past year, Suzanne was accepted into the American Institute of Physics State Department Fellowship Program in Washington, D.C. Beginning in September 2008, she is serving one year in the Division of Space and Advanced Technology within the Bureau of Oceans, International Environment and Scientific Affairs. At press time, she says she could be working with policy issues concerning ITER, an experimental fusion reactor being built in France, and policy issues concerning peaceful uses of outer space.
A fascination with D.C.
Suzanne's interest in Washington, D.C., began during a cross-cultural experience there with Dr. Perry Bush. Her group met with Ohio Senator John Glenn's aid to discuss fair-housing legislation. They spent their nights sleeping at the Community for Creative Non-Violence, a federal city shelter. "I was touched by the contrast between the city's ultrawealthy and its homeless and poorer class we were sleeping beside," she says. "That started my lifelong fascination with the city and the political process."
Finding a spark.
In August, Suzanne completed her doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Tennessee. Her research focuses on thermonuclear fusion in Type 1a supernovas. It is part of a much larger effort to discover how the spark is ignited for the thermonuclear flame, which starts the nuclear reaction. Her research used models of the kinetics of an explosion and provided a shortcut that allows a more accurate modeling of nuclear synthesis than was possible with previous methods. "Science has many paths," says Suzanne. "This problem is something people have worked on for many years. There are many, many useful ways of doing this. The method I worked on is just one that is very efficient."
The excitement and mystery of science.
Having always thought of writing as a good, artistic outlet for analytical ideas, Suzanne took a science-writing course. "Science is something that's funded by the public," she says. "If we're going to do this, it's vital that we communicate the excitement and mystery back to the public. We owe them that. I felt I needed to become a better communicator in order to do that." Suzanne writes for local newspapers, magazines and public Web sites. "It's important to communicate to the public what science is doing," she says. "It gets more kids interested in science and shows the scientific method, which is a good way of thinking and problem-solving. Even if readers don't become scientists, science gives them a foundation for problem-solving in any aspect of life."

Gowns by Adrian!
Adrian was the first designer to use "Gowns by…" as a film credit. He was Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's head costume designer from 1928 to 1941. During this time he worked on over 250 films, designing outfits for some of Hollywood's most beautiful and glamorous leading ladies. Adrian made Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, Norma Shearer, and Marion Davies the Hollywood icons they are today.
Fellow costume designer Natacha Rambova, the subject of a recent PCF Fashion Column, brought Adrian to Hollywood from New York in 1924. They were to work on films for Rambova's husband Rudolph Valentino, but their first film The Hooded Falcon (1924) was never finished. Adrian would go on to work with Rambova once more on her now lost film What Price Beauty? (1925) and twice more with Valentino on The Eagle and Cobra, both in 1925.
After his time with Rambova and Valentino, Adrian worked as a fashion designer for Cecil B. DeMille's independent production company, DeMille Pictures Corporation, from 1926 to 1928. With titles like, Gigolo (1926), Vanity (1927) and His Dog (1927), these films were unremarkable, but they did add another layer to Adrian's foundation as a Hollywood costume designer. DeMille loaned Adrian to Fox Pictures for the film Fig Leaves (1926), which starred Olive Borden as a housewife who becomes a model in a fashion house. Adrian also contributed designs to, but was not credited for, DeMille's epic King of Kings (1927).
When DeMille moved from the Paramount Pictures lot over to MGM in 1928, he took Adrian with him. MGM, still a young company at the time, borrowed Adrian to design for some of their productions. It worked out so well Adrian decided to remain with MGM when DeMille returned to Paramount a short time later. This was the beginning of a very glamorous and productive time for both designer and studio.
Not only did Adrian gown Garbo, Crawford, Harlow, Shearer, and Davies, but also Hedy Lamarr, Rosalind Russell, Myrna Loy, Loretta Young, Jeannette MacDonald, Ann Harding, Eleanor Powell, Margaret Sullivan, Katherine Hepburn, and Judy Garland in their most rememberable films. The credit list from these collaborations includes such classics as Mata Hari (1931), Letty Lynton (1932), Blondie at the Follies (1932), Midnight Mary (1932), Dinner at Eight (1933), The Broadway Melody of 1936 (1935), Double Wedding (1937), Marie Antoinette (1938), Sweethearts (1938), The Women (1939), The Wizard of Oz (1939), The Philadelphia Story (1940), and Ziegfeld Girl (1941).
Adrian left MGM in 1941 to open his own fashion house Adrian Ltd., in Beverly Hills. He returned to MGM in 1952 to create the gowns for his last film Lovely to Look At. To this day, Adrian was and is synonymous with MGM, the MGM look, and with the leading ladies of the most glamorous studio in Hollywood.
There are 2 Comments
I love "Gowns by Adrian" in the credits. My absolute favorites, included here, are the Norma Shearer – Marie Antoinette gown, Jean Harlow gown from Dinner At Eight, Kate Hepburn's dress from Philadelphia Story, and Hedy Lamarr in Ziegfeld Girls.
