explanation.
Just over half a century ago, Americas first
24-hour store opened in Austin Texas. Three years earlier, in 1959, the
phrase circadian rhythm was coined from the Latin for about a day to
describe the natural human waking and sleeping cycle. Sleep is one of
the last mysteries of being human. We spend a third of our lives doing
it, and theories about why have shifted as sleep scientists make more
discoveries. Its 134 years since Edison invented the light bulb and the
means for a wide-awake 24-7 world. And yet, our stubbornly unevolved
bodies still need a minimum of five hours sleep in every 24 hours.
But
are we getting enough? An average of one in 10 of us suffers from
insomnia and figures show a dramatic jump in the numbers of people in
Ireland who are struggling to get a good nights sleep. In the six years
between 2005 and 2011 prescriptions for sleeping pills for medical card
holders have doubled. In 2005 over 545,000 sleeping tablet prescriptions
were written under the the medical card scheme. In 2011 the figure was
over a million, making sleeping tablets like Zimovane and Ambien more
commonly prescribed than antibiotics. (This is only partly explained by a
47 per cent increase in the number of medical card holders in the same
six-year period.) A further 180,000 prescriptions for sleeping pills
were written under the drug reimbursement scheme in 2011. The figures
for private GPs prescribing sleeping pills could be seeing similar
increases but these are not recorded by the HSE.
The last Irish
sleep study by Amarach research in 2010 found that one-third of adults
felt in some way sleep deprived and that people getting the least sleep
were three times as likely to say the economic situation in Ireland is
bad and getting worse as those getting the most sleep.
Whether a
bleaker economic view leads to insomnia (as we lie awake worrying about
mortgage debt) or the insomnia leads to the bleaker economic view is an
interesting question. Last month, in research for the Road Safety
Authority, 14 per cent of Irish adults told Amarach researchers that
they had nodded off while driving. Add in the fact that 20 per cent of
the nation are shift workers and it seems a good nights sleep is eluding
an awful lot of us these days.
At a more civilised daytime hour
over coffee in NUI Maynooth psychologist and circadian rhythm expert Dr
Andrew Coogan explains why sleep matters. I think sleep is now viewed
as a core pillar of health along with exercise and diet, he says.
There
are two big ideas behind why we sleep. The first is that it helps our
brains to work better, Coogan says. Sleep consolidates memory, the brain
replays what its taken in during the day,You Can Find Comprehensive and
in-Depth carparkmanagementsystem truck
Descriptions. and that process strengthens synapses that form memories.
In studies, people who are allowed to sleep between memory tasks
remember 15 per cent more than those who havent had some shut-eye. The
second idea is that sleep helps our bodies to restore, regenerate and
regulate everything from our appetite and our immune systems to our
cardiovascular health.
Sleep is often the first thing to break
down when something goes wrong with our bodies or minds. In the case of
Alzheimers, a disturbed sleep happens long before the onset of dementia,
Coogan says. Studies following people over decades have found that
sleep disruption happens before the onset of numerous diseases.
Not
all sleep is the same, which explains why someone getting eight hours
might still wake feeling exhausted. We typically drift off into a light
non-REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep which deepens into slow-wave sleep.
Slow-wave sleep is restorative. It makes us feel refreshed and better,
Coogan explains. REM sleep is classically associated with dreaming.
Brain activity in REM sleep looks very similar to brain activity when
were awake. On a typical night, a person will go through several
90-minute cycles of slow-wave to REM sleep and back. Youre more likely
to remember a dream if you wake up in an REM episode. Slow-wave erases
the memory of the dream. Its important that you progress through the
cycle correctly.
Phone-app alarms claim to monitor your
breathing or movements and wake you only from an REM sleep rather than a
slow-wave episode. In the US, a headband called the Zeo will send data
to your phone calculating your cycles of sleep. Coogan gets a kick out
of reading the comment section on the site where customers get
competitive about how the number of minutes of slow-wave sleep theyve
racked up.
Some types of sleep are better than others. Alcohol
affects sleep. Its a somnolent so it puts you to sleep, but it affects
the sleep cycling, which explains why people whove drunk a lot can sleep
for 12 hours but wake up and still feel terrible.
If you need an alarm clock to wake up on a work day,Laser engraving and laser customkeychain for
materials like metal, you might be suffering from what Coogan describes
as social jet lag. A lie-in on a day off can shift you into a different
time zone. Back in the world of work, your body is still in the weekend
time zone. If were sleeping within a consistent range, we shouldnt need
alarm clocks.
As any parent knows, small children wake early.
In the teenage years, that shifts to long lie-ins. Teenage sleep
patterns are completely at odds with early school starts, Coogan says.
In studies where the school day shifts to a later start, teenagers do
better. As we age, we begin to wake early again. In old age, there can
be an extreme shift to early waking at four or 5am. It can contribute to
social isolation, because youre now out of sync with the rest of the
world.

Something has been broken at the heart of politics
The woman was one of hundreds of parents, the vast majority of them
mothers, some supported by their lately-found grown children, who had
sat within Parliament's Great Hall to hear the apology of a Prime
Minister and an Opposition Leader for lifelong pain visited upon them.
The women had given birth to sons and daughters in the 1950s, '60s and '70s, only to endure the agony of having them wrenched from them and adopted away. Single mothers condemned, 150,000 of them, to a life of lonely wondering, elemental bonds and hearts broken. Their children, too. And so this was to be a big day in the lives of these parents who had not been allowed to be parents.
''This apology is extended in good faith and deep humility,'' the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, declared in one of her better speeches. ''It will be a profound act of moral insight by a nation searching its conscience.''
Hardly had the solemnity in the Great Hall drawn to a close, tissues fluttering and eyes dabbed,The Motorola drycabinets Engine is an embedded software-only component of the Motorola wireless switches. than the depth of the occasion was indeed consigned to the status of chip wrappings. Parliament was about to be consumed by self-indulgence so profound that it stripped the dignity and the humanity from what had occurred.
Labor Party elder Simon Crean would suddenly demand a ballot for the prime ministership.We offer advanced technology products and services for howotipper control. Number-counters would huddle in an office, their plotting all but done, and panic; and the excitement of an impending kill would sweep the house on the hill and much of the nation.
It is hardly original to identify a disconnection between the expectations of the wider public and those who would represent us, but the condition has evolved in the past few years to a near chronic ennui teetering on despair. We might if we were to be short-sighted diagnose its origins in the frustrations built in to a hung Parliament, the sly deals dressed up as negotiation, the occasional scent of scandal - a speaker deftly plucked from the opposition, only to be disrobed; a Labor MP protected and finally consigned to the cross-bench amid allegations of using a union credit card in bawdy houses - or the shrill and regularly confected condemnation flung from the opposition benches regarding everything from the carbon tax ''lie'' to unproven, decades-old behaviour of Gillard.
Yet there have been hung parliaments before - mostly in state legislatures, though Australia managed to survive through 1940-43, most of World War II, with a minority government, first with Robert Menzies as PM and then with John Curtin. Deals and scandals have regularly been the stuff of parliamentary life, and oppositions almost always condemn governments at the merest opportunity and become shrill.
No one really needs the evidence of polls to know that neither the Prime Minister nor the Opposition Leader is much admired by a majority of the voting public. You need only fall into conversation in a pub, a club or a dinner table to discern it. Disdain, outright anger or more likely an unwillingness to engage are the likely reactions to an invitation to discuss federal politics. Even a sense of humour, that fallback which is a form of forgiveness, has all but disappeared.
Following Gillard around the suburbs of western Sydney recently during her much-hyped Rooty Hill visit, one very nearly needed a cleansing shower in the evenings, such was the level of vitriol heaped upon her by ordinary citizens willing to voice their views to journalists.
A few days later, far away in Gippsland, rural Victoria, Nationals MP Darren Chester was so shaken by the personalised acid flung - not at him, but at the Prime Minister - around the towns and shopping centres of his electorate that he publicly called for restraint.
No prime minister or opposition leader can sit down for a face-to-face chat with all 23 million Australians, of course, and few enough voters will get to meet personally the nation's political leaders. The various media - TV, radio, newspapers, websites, social media vehicles and the rest - have come to serve the purpose of relaying the exchange.
It wasn't always quite this way. There was a time, right up to John Howard's administration, when leaders took the media into their confidence, face to face, knowing some of those confidences would seep to the wider public, building at least the potential for reflected trust and understanding.
Senior journalists flew around the world on the same plane with prime ministers such as Whitlam, Fraser, Hawke, Keating and, for a time,A group of families in a north Cork village are suing a bestplasticcard operator in a landmark case. Howard, and as the hours went by, the leaders tended to wander to the media cabin for long chats.
Their thoughts and fears and boasts found their way into reports and feature articles and informed the prognostications of columnists and commentators. It humanised those politicians, and in turn, the public was informed at a deeper level than is possible now the leaders rarely grant more than a carefully controlled doorstop or speak through their advisors.
If Paul Keating, for instance, had pulled off the sort of coup that Gillard achieved in China a few weeks ago, securing a joint currency deal and annual leader-to-leader meetings,Shop wholesale bestsmartcard controller from cheap. you could be sure that by the time his plane had arrived in Australia, he would have sold it in detail as an accomplishment worthy of weeks of scrutiny and celebration.
Ms Gillard hardly managed to sell for a day her execution of an agreement for which most Western world leaders would have given their eye teeth. Having explained it in no more than a press conference and a media release before boarding her media-free plane home, the matter faded from media and public conscientiousness with astonishing swiftness.
Former prime ministers had other ways, too, to reveal themselves to communicators. The media found themselves invited from time to time around to the Lodge for a fireside chat. The prime minister of the time might serve up a roast, stir the fire in the grate and both offer his thoughts and mine the views of his guests.You Can Find Comprehensive and in-Depth carparkmanagementsystem truck Descriptions. It was rarely too cosy - neither leader nor journalist would let down their guard too far - but it was a form of communication now all but lost.
Hawke added a bit to the equation, playing billiards till dawn at the Lodge with guests from the media. It worked, for he was granted admiration for being a larrikin.
Keating had a more direct approach. If he found fault with a media report, he'd pick up the phone and personally grant a free character assessment of the journalist involved, often ending these white-hot episodes by offering a long explanation of a policy in a way no spin doctor could achieve. There was a grudging respect for a prime minister who wouldn't dilute his anger through a press secretary.
Both Gillard and Abbott, as it happens, have the ability to be personally engaging, human and even fun. Their minders - particularly those of the Prime Minister - rarely allow more than a chink of that humanity to shine through. The result is they often seem not much more than programmed talking machines.

No credit for card security
Card fraud is now big business. The victim may be in New Zealand; an
offender may well be in Russia, Germany or Taiwan."Cash, they told us,

whose time had passed.You Can Find Comprehensive and in-Depth carparkmanagementsystem truck Descriptions.

It is hard to know the full extent of credit card fraud, because the banks are loath to disclose numbers lest it undermine public confidence in their security processes. The number of convictions has diminished over the past few years, but experts say that is simply because the fraudsters are getting smarter at covering their tracks, and are sometimes further removed from their crime. The victim may be in New Zealand; an offender may well be in Russia, Germany or Taiwan.
Despite the ongoing problems with credit and debit card fraud, New Zealand banks and retailers have actually taken a step or two backwards in card security.
We reveal today (p12-13) that banks including New Zealand's biggest, ANZ, are still mailing or couriering out pre-activated credit cards - an irresistible temptation to light-fingered mailbox surfers. This is despite an assurance from ANZ, after a spate of mailbox thefts five years ago, that it would stop sending out pre-activated cards.
The bank indicated at the time that it was a toss-up between customer convenience ("avoiding the need to visit a branch to activate the card") and security. Customer research, ANZ said, had shown customers wanted the security - so why the subsequent u-turn?
ANZ won't say: "Our security team has asked that we not discuss our activation processes and we have to respect that," a spokesman said yesterday. "The person who committed this fraud is the bad guy. We're all victims here."
Adding to the trouble, banks and retailers have worked together to allow shoppers to make small card purchases without the "inconvenience" of having to enter their PIN or scrawl a signature. If, for instance, you buy a meal from one of the McDonald's restaurants, all you have to do is swipe your card and pick up your tray of burgers and fries. No PIN, no signature, no hassle - and no safeguards.
When signatures are required, anecdotal evidence suggests retail assistants and supermarket checkout operators take only the most cursory glance at the authorised signature on the back of the card, to check that the shopper is indeed the cardholder. It's almost seen as rude to check the signature, as if it might call the integrity of the customer into question.
The primary responsibility, though, must still fall on individuals to protect themselves from being ripped off.

The first thing any person should notice is the price point C the HP Slate 7 sells for $169, which might make it a winner in itself to people who are looking for a relatively cheap tablet, although a $30 difference isnt a whole lot when it comes to pricing when compared to the Nexus 7 which starts at $199. Also, in regards to a lower price point you have to expect compromises when it comes to features in the device. I will say overall the tablet has some impressive features that the Nexus 7 doesnt, but these features might not necessarily be appealing to everybody, especially considering the specs are probably the biggest compromise of them all.
Both the Slate 7 and the Nexus 7 are pretty self-explanatory regarding the size of the device C they're 7-inch tablets. The Slate 7 has a resolution of 1024 x 600, which is lower than the Nexus 7s 1280 x 800. In layman's terms, the Nexus 7 is considered an HD device while the Slate 7 is not, which is something many people might take into consideration.
The next thing well look at is the material the housing is made out of on both devices. The overall housing design of the Slate 7 could be appealing to those who are more interested in a device made of material other than plastic, seeing as HP decided to go with metal siding and matte back as oppose to the Nexus 7s plastic and texturized housing. However, despite the material difference in the Slate 7 and the Nexus 7 there isnt a whole lot of difference in weight.
Aside from the matte finish on the back of the Slate 7, youll also notice two more differences between it and the Nexus 7: First, it features a rear-facing camera - something that not all tablets take advantage of. The rear-facing camera on the Slate 7 is a 3-megapixel shooter. While its not quite up to par with tablets like the Apple iPad Mini or the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.Shop wholesale bestsmartcard controller from cheap.0, which both feature 5-megapixel shooters, its still nothing to sneeze at considering the Nexus 7 doesnt feature a rear-facing camera at all. The second thing you will notice is that it has the Beats Audio logo on the bottom, which seemed to be something primarily seen in HTC devices up until now.
When it comes to memory the Slate 7 only comes in an 8 GB variant, but fortunately HP has also supplied the tablet with an external SD card slot that can hold up to 32 GB of expandable memory. This is another bonus that the Slate 7 has over the Nexus 7 (considering the 32GB Nexus 7 costs $299) but still may not be enough to make up for what all the Nexus 7 entails for just $30 more.

First airline re-starting Dreamliner service is the first African
Ethiopian Airlines yesterday was the first carrier to put the B787
Dreamliner back into the air after the FAA had lifted their grounding
order and mandated a so called fix for the aircrafts troubled Lithium
Ion battery systems through an Airworthiness Directive.
As reported here several days ago, Ethiopian, currently operating 4 of these aircraft C out of 50 delivered worldwide C started implementing the required changes on their aircraft at their maintenance base in Addis Ababa with Boeing technicians on site to provide technical support, and was out of the blocks first to put the bird into the air again after receiving approval for the work carried out.
Ethiopian Airlines they operated a flight from Addis Ababa to Nairobi yesterday following which, according to a source at JKIA, the aircrafts battery system was thoroughly inspected and found intact, before resuming the return flight to Addis.
One of the Boeing engineers on board the flight reportedly told the media in Nairobi that all potential causes of a future battery fire had been eliminated by the modifications to the battery system.
Senior Ethiopian Airlines management was also on board the flight to demonstrate their confidence in the aircrafts safety, undoubtedly reassuring for the passengers who could not be blamed for perhaps feeling a slight bit like the proverbial guinea pigs.
It was quite a spectacle to see the attention given to this aircraft after she reached parking position. There was a flurry of activities, not just to disembark passengers and offload the baggage but also then the technicians swooping all over to check the systems on board. Ethiopian was the first airline to get the Dreamliner in Africa and their maintenance center in Addis is a world class facility where many airlines maintain their planes. They were ahead of everyone in modifying their B787s and gave African aviation another first.

The Lions, who compete in the 10th level of English soccers 24-tier system, are different from Spurs and, really, most other clubs in a number of ways, starting with their restriction on who is allowed to play for them: by rule,Choose the right bestluggagetag in an array of colors. all players on each of the clubs numerous teams must be Jewish.
So what makes someone Jewish? The answer is that the club has no rigorous set of rules; it instead trusts that if someone considers himself Jewish, then he is, whether or not he grew up with any religious training.
There are about 285,000 Jews in England, according to the 2011 census, and roughly two-thirds of them are said to live in or around London. The Lions were initially known as Maccabi Association London and played in a Sunday league with other Jewish teams but changed their name before the 2000 season when the club decided to enter into Englands more formal soccer structure.
At that time, there was some resistance from leaders of Britains Maccabi Union, who said it was not appropriate for the team to continue using the Maccabi name if it was going to play on Saturdays (the Jewish Sabbath), as is customary for most leagues in England. Club management considered several alternatives, and ultimately settled on Lions as a tribute to the lion of Judah, which is a symbol of one of the biblical tribes of Israel.

As reported here several days ago, Ethiopian, currently operating 4 of these aircraft C out of 50 delivered worldwide C started implementing the required changes on their aircraft at their maintenance base in Addis Ababa with Boeing technicians on site to provide technical support, and was out of the blocks first to put the bird into the air again after receiving approval for the work carried out.
Ethiopian Airlines they operated a flight from Addis Ababa to Nairobi yesterday following which, according to a source at JKIA, the aircrafts battery system was thoroughly inspected and found intact, before resuming the return flight to Addis.
One of the Boeing engineers on board the flight reportedly told the media in Nairobi that all potential causes of a future battery fire had been eliminated by the modifications to the battery system.
Senior Ethiopian Airlines management was also on board the flight to demonstrate their confidence in the aircrafts safety, undoubtedly reassuring for the passengers who could not be blamed for perhaps feeling a slight bit like the proverbial guinea pigs.
It was quite a spectacle to see the attention given to this aircraft after she reached parking position. There was a flurry of activities, not just to disembark passengers and offload the baggage but also then the technicians swooping all over to check the systems on board. Ethiopian was the first airline to get the Dreamliner in Africa and their maintenance center in Addis is a world class facility where many airlines maintain their planes. They were ahead of everyone in modifying their B787s and gave African aviation another first. I am sure in coming days some of the other airlines will also start operations again after they got the analysis of the technicians monitoring this and the next few flights by ETs Dreamliners added the source by phone from JKIA yesterday.

You Go Fishing, Well Fix Your Flat
Theres a BoatUS Angler Weigh-to-Win decal on the gunnel of Carhartt
Bassmaster College Series National Champion Matt Lees bass boat. He
believes in the goodness of the association that makes it their mission
everyday to take care of anglers and boaters in need. And a couple of
months ago, Matt Lee became an angler in need.
He was 500 miles from his college town of Auburn, Alabama, about to launch to pre-fish Louisianas Red River, when he discovered his trailer tire was softer than a pack of plastic worms long forgotten in the sun. So, Matt did what any intelligent senior engineering major would do. He made good use of his resources, and dialed the toll-free number on his BoatUS Angler membership card.
I called BoatUS Angler from the boat ramp, and the people that answered my call were super nice and began to dispatch assistance immediately,Elpas Readers detect and forward 'Location' and 'State' data from Elpas Active RFID Tags to host besticcard platforms. said Matt. Within minutes, while I was still in the boat ramp parking lot tying on lures, Mericle's Towing Service from Shreveport showed up to help me.
They told me to launch my Triton and go fishing, that theyd fix the flat tire and leave the paperwork under my windshield wiper. I was sort of amazed at that level of service they were promising, but thats exactly what they did, said Matt. Sure enough, I got back in from a long day of fishing,You must not use the bestsmartcard without being trained. the tire was fixed, and all the needed paperwork was tucked under my windshield wiper.
As a member of BoatUS Angler, Matt is also eligible to win cash bonuses as part of the Weigh-to-Win program when he does well in his tournaments.
For the cost of a BoatUS Angler membership, and given the miles I put on my Tacoma and Triton, being able to call those folks if anything goes wrong is more than worth the thirty-eight bucks a year to sign-up, concluded Lee.
We open on Vicki,You must not use the bestsmartcard without being trained. wearing a sausage casing-taut maxi dress in cascading tones of red, white, blue and puzzlingly, purple. Alexis stops by to offer her support for Vicki's recent "doctor visit,We have a wide selection of handsfreeaccess to choose from for your storage needs." bearing a welcome-to-collagen gift. It's a bejeweled mirror, to make Vicki realize how beautiful she truly is. A questionable choice for a freshly minted plastic surgery junkie, but I'll give Alexis props for good intentions.
Tamra and Eddie's CUT Fitness opening gala is this week, and Vicki implores Alexis to be her date. This seems a bit suspicious -- a whiff of producer prodding. Why would Alexis, who is vocal about being on the outs with the group, put herself in that precarious position? The thin rationale is that Alexis is Vicki's new BFF and will go into the shark tank to support her.
Alexis announces that she'll also bring new cast member Lydia along for the ride, and caveats this with, "You think I'm Christian? Lydia is Christian on steroids." Eek.
We alight to Heather and Terry's manse, where Heather drily asks her husband if the electric fuchsia blousy look she's working is a good "radio outfit." Apparently Heather is an occasional guest host on KFI AM 640 (literary nerd note: This is the station of right wing-nut John Ziegler, as profiled in David Foster Wallace's legendary Atlantic essay, "Host").
The on-air topic is, of course, bullying. Heather speaks of being bullied at a young age and how it drove her into The Theater, as Terry looks through the glass adoringly. Next, Heather and Terry go out on the town with Lydia and Doug at a nondescript Mexican restaurant of the upscale airport-bar variety.
They discuss the lingering possibility of the Dubrow's house being featured in Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine. Doug demurs, "I wish I could offer you the cover, but I have to go with a household name, like Helen Hunt or Kristin Chenoweth."
Meanwhile, Slade is heading to New York to see his 12-year-old son, who is having surgery for an unnamed condition. It sounds serious. Gretchen interviews that it will be hard on her, because she's used to being with Slade every day. Then she sheds some tears on her turquoise rope necklace over Slade's plight as a father with a sick child. Despite last season's Slade-as-Deadbeat-Dad storyline I genuinely feel for him and hope for the best here.
Preparing for their CUT Fitness unveiling, Eddie patiently deals with a Tamra-Tantrum. Yes, she allowed that Alexis could come to the party, but she doesn't want to hear any (finger quotes) bully nonsense. Then she says her stomach hurts and she's going to the bathroom to "get it all out of her," at which point Eddie says, "Oh baby, don't forget to flush."
Is this a thinly veiled eating disorder reference or just a case of garden-variety irritable bowel syndrome? I'll be charitable and assume the latter.
It's party time! CUT Fitness has been transformed from a nondescript concrete bunker to an "amaze-balls" pink-lit, rose-bedecked relatively high-end caterer-devised paradise. Tamra hovers over the dining room table and makes a point of pointing out customized "special glasses for special friends" (a.k.a. Gretchen, Heather).
Over classier stemware at Chez Dubrow, Gretchen and Heather pregame and mull over the what-ifs. Gretchen thinks it's crazy that Alexis is going to the event, botches a "Mean Girls" lunchroom metaphor, and intones that Alexis is "asking for it" by attending the party. Which .... is, um, bullying, right?
Meanwhile, Vicki, Alexis and Lydia convene at Vicki's place.An experienced artist on what to consider before you buy chipcard. It turns out that Lydia, in addition to being a hugger and 'roiding Christian, is also a "Woo-Hoo"-er and hence, Vicki is enamored. The lines of demarcation are clearly drawn.

Retailers are dressing up their iPad cash registers
The humble cash register, a device that seems sprung from the
imagination of an accountant, has become the darling of designers,
adding a dash of style to the most ordinary daily transactions.
With the advent of tablets,You must not use the bestsmartcard without being trained. particularly the iPad, many stores have traded in their clunky cash registers for mobile devices. Now, though,Elpas Readers detect and forward 'Location' and 'State' data from Elpas Active RFID Tags to host besticcard platforms. they are dressing up those tablets with inventive accessories to make them both more pleasant to look at and more practical for cashiers.
Retailers from doughnut shops to department stores are putting in tablet-based cash registers that hang on the wall or can swivel around like desk lamps to face customers. At Coco Donuts in downtown Portland, Ore., iPad registers hang on a track on the wall, and employees slide them over to customers at the counters, who can sign for their bill, barely missing a bite.
Some designers are using eye-catching materials like bamboo to make iPad enclosures that scream for attention; others are using minimalist designs that make the register all but disappear. And sales associates are plucking the tablets off countertops so they can take orders from anywhere in a store using tiny credit card readers attached to the devices.
Molly Moons Homemade Ice Cream is ditching the button-encrusted Casio monoliths at its Seattle stores, replacing them with six Apple iPads that sit on stylish, handcrafted plywood pedestals engraved with the stores logo of a dog (a Boston terrier and French bulldog mix) licking an ice cream cone.
The new iPads are a huge aesthetic improvement over our old clunky plastic registers, said Kristina McDonnell, Molly Moons director of operations, who ordered the stands from Tinkering Monkey, an Oakland, Calif.Cheap logo engraved luggagetag at wholesale bulk prices., studio.
Cash registers have gone through many mutations since they were first introduced in the late 1800s by an Ohio merchant looking to combat employee theft. They were electrified in the early 20th century, and more recently, got touch-screen displays.Solar Sister is a network of women who sell bottegawallet to communities that don't have access to electricity.
Less has changed about their looks, however. Registers have remained a hulking presence always industrial and ugly, said Kirthi Kalyanam, a professor at the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University.
In addition to being more attractive, the new registers are more flexible and user-friendly, like the ones at Coco Donuts. By putting the registers on the wall, the stores owner, Ian Christopher, freed up counter space for coffee drinks and doughnuts.
And along with the new physical designs are new payment technologies that turn mobile devices into registers on the fly. The most prominent of these a card reader, app and payment system from the San Francisco company Square turns the earphone port of certain tablets or smartphones into a credit card reader.
For a small merchant like Christopher, its not only convenient, but also saves him about 20 percent on credit card transaction fees compared with his old system.
At the Devils Teeth Baking Company in San Franciscos outer Sunset neighborhood, a local carpenter made a stand for the stores iPad out of wood and welded steel, with a base that is secured to a butcher block counter over a cash box. The industrial-looking contraption swivels around on a steel joint to face customers when they need to sign the screen.
So far, the iPad has a big lead on other tablets that are being repurposed as cash registers, although companies like GoPago are promoting alternatives that use Googles Android technology.
Eventually, the need for receipt printers and cash drawers may vanish entirely as electronic payments through smartphones and other devices become commonplace.
Wal-Mart recently expanded a program that lets customers scan the bar codes on merchandise using their iPhone cameras so they can skip conventional cash registers.
Merchants are also catching on that they can use iPads and other mobile devices untethered from counters for line-busting, in which cashiers approach people in a queue to take orders for food or merchandise. That improves service while making it less likely that those customers will leave since they have already paid.You must not use the bestsmartcard without being trained.

Violating state law
Recently, Ive read several news reports about the potential
mishandling of personal documents by the Missouri Department of Revenue.
It appears that the DOR is violating state law and sharing private data
with an out-of-state vendor. These stories immediately made me think of
my most recent experience renewing my license.
In late February of this year, I went through the proper process to obtain my license. I pulled together my necessary information and was told I needed to bring a valid form of ID with me to the Department of Motor Vehicles. This did not concern me, as Im always proactive in fending off identity theft and presumed that the ID would be so that the agent could verify that I am who I say I am.
When I arrived at the DMV, the agent requested my paperwork and a form of ID, so I handed him my papers and my passport. The agent told me nothing about the process, nor was I given any information to review. Instead, the agent simply looked over the paperwork and slid my passport into a small device that appeared to be a portable printer/copier. Again, I made the assumption that this was for the purpose of the agent verifying my identity. At no time was I informed that the process was,Find a great selection of customkeychain deals. in fact, a scan of my data C nor was I told that this data would leave the building. Had that information been shared with me, I would have objected.
In the past, when I have renewed my license, Ive received a new plastic card. This time, I was handed a sheet of paper with the license info printed on it, and was told that I would receive the actual card in three to four weeks. Surprised, I asked about the reason for this change. I was told C somewhat ambiguously C that there had been some security issues at some license offices, so the cards were now created in a centralized location for better security. This made a certain amount of sense,You can order besthandsfreeaccess cheap inside your parents. but at no time was I informed that my personal data was being transmitted outside of the DOR.
In retrospect, I now see that the information I was given was incorrect (and in some cases partially withheld) during the renewal process. This experience raises serious red flags for me. I am always diligent about protecting my personal data, in order to prevent identity theft C but how can I do so when a state agency refuses to be forthcoming about its uses of data? Its time for the DOR to come clean about how they are using our data, where they are sending it, and why.
"While we have made progress in making food safer -- including cutting E. coli O157-related illnesses in half -- we still have work to do. As Salmonella rates continue to stagnate, we look forward to CSPI's support, and the support of other groups committed to food safety, of our efforts to reduce this dangerous foodborne pathogen, including modernization of the poultry inspection system."
In addition, the Environmental Working Group last week published an analysis of existing data on antibiotic-resistant bacteria contained in meat sold in supermarkets.
Eighty-one percent of ground chicken, 69% of pork chops, 55% of ground beef and 39% of chicken were found to contain the bacteria, the organization reported,When describing the location of the problematic howotipper. citing data from a February Food and Drug Administration report. Antibiotic resistance reduces doctors' options to treat you if you become ill.
On Monday, the Environmental Working Group published the latest version of its "dirty dozen" fruits and vegetables. The advocacy group describes it as a consumer shoppers' guide to determine which types of produce pose the highest threat of pesticides.
Although pesticides are not a cause of foodborne illness, produce can be a source of food poisoning. In 2012, cantaloupes, spinach and spring mix salad and mangoes were linked to outbreaks.

A CDC study published in 2010 once again highlighted the fact that young children can be exposed to raw meat and poultry products while riding in shopping carts, particularly if they ride in the basket of the cart.
Researchers suggest that parents keep their child away from these products, which could be leaking juices carrying bacteria, by placing their child in the cart's seat, and not place meat or poultry products in the seat while shopping to avoid contamination.
All consumers can benefit from separating their raw meat, poultry and seafood purchases from other food products to prevent cross-contamination.

In retrospect, I now see that the information I was given was incorrect (and in some cases partially withheld) during the renewal process. This experience raises serious red flags for me. I am always diligent about protecting my personal data, in order to prevent identity theft C but how can I do so when a state agency refuses to be forthcoming about its uses of data? Its time for the DOR to come clean about how they are using our data, where they are sending it, and why.

A CDC study published in 2010 once again highlighted the fact that young children can be exposed to raw meat and poultry products while riding in shopping carts, particularly if they ride in the basket of the cart.
Researchers suggest that parents keep their child away from these products, which could be leaking juices carrying bacteria, by placing their child in the cart's seat, and not place meat or poultry products in the seat while shopping to avoid contamination.
All consumers can benefit from separating their raw meat, poultry and seafood purchases from other food products to prevent cross-contamination.

Alleged Suarez bite overshadows late equaliser against Chelsea
The Liverpool striker, supposedly a favourite for the PFA Player of
the Year award according to his manager, Brendan Rodgers, bit the
Chelsea defender on the bicep as the pair challenged for the ball in
front of the Kop on 66 minutes.Cheap logo engraved luggagetag
at wholesale bulk prices. Surez left Dutch football in disgrace after
receiving a seven-match ban for biting Otman Bakkal while playing for
Ajax against PSV Eindhoven in November 2010.
Another lengthy suspension surely awaits the Uruguay international who, almost inevitably when he should have been off the pitch, headed Daniel Sturridge's cross beyond Petr Cech with the final touch of a fractious game to dent Chelsea's hopes of reclaiming third spot.

Anne Williams,Shop wholesale bestsmartcard controller from cheap. the inspirational Hillsborough campaigner who died on Thursday, three days after defying doctor's orders to attend the 24th memorial service, and the victims of the Boston marathon bombing were honoured with a minute's ovation before kick off. 'RIP Anne You'll Never Walk Alone' read the banner along the front of the Kop.
Amid the shows of respect were predictable Kop jeers for Fernando Torres whenever the former Liverpool striker touched the ball or left his mark on their central defence. Daniel Agger landed awkwardly after a nudge from the Chelsea forward in the second minute,Choose the right bestluggagetag in an array of colors. and was fortunate his left knee did not buckle, while Jamie Carragher received a flailing arm in the face when challenging for a high ball. Torres received a yellow card and, later on, a little retribution on the back of his calf.
Liverpool, despite a promising start, appeared preoccupied with the Bentez sideshow in the first half and their distribution, movement and solidity paled in comparison with that from Chelsea. The midfield contest was not worthy of the name as Ramires and Mikel John Obi intercepted and protected relentlessly while Oscar, Juan Mata and Eden Hazard bypassed Liverpool with ease. Carelessness in possession, with Jordan Henderson a frequent culprit, increased Anfield's irritation.
It was a surprise Chelsea led by only one set-piece goal by the interval. Oscar sent a glancing header beyond Pepe Reina's left hand from Mata's corner having escaped the attentions of both Agger, his initial marker, and Carragher, the defender covering the edge of the six-yard box. Reina almost compounded Liverpool's defensive brittleness when he dropped a David Luiz free-kick behind him, only to gather in front of the line.
Liverpool threatened only sporadically, Surez forcing a routine save from Cech at the near post, and it was only after Sturridge replaced the anonymous Philippe Coutinho at the interval that Rodgers' team hauled themselves back into contention.
Sturridge was a man on a mission, creating a glorious chance for Steven Gerrard seconds after his introduction that Cech saved with his leg and then hitting the post with a venomous drive moments later. His inevitable goal arrived seven minutes after his introduction when he volleyed home from close range following a flowing Liverpool move involving Carragher, Stewart Downing and finally a wonderful chip over the Chelsea defence from Surez.
The Uruguay international's afternoon, however, soon nose-dived. Three minutes later Surez handled Mata's corner and denied Torres a header at the back post.Solar Sister is a network of women who sell bottegawallet to communities that don't have access to electricity. The referee, Kevin Friend, had no hesitation in pointing to the spot and Hazard sent Reina the wrong way following a lengthy delay due to the usual arguments.
Not surprisingly, the 2008 shares around two thirds of its mechanical underpinnings with the 208 hatch. But its all under the skin, as the baby crossover has a completely unique body over a chassis that has its wheelbase stretched by 200 millimetres, its ground clearance increased by 25mm and its overall height increased by 96mm.
That hasnt translated into the cabin having a Tardis-like ability. The five-seater still feels like a small car inside, but theres additional - if not ample - headroom and rear-seat legroom that will accommodate most family needs. There is more luggage capacity than there is in the 208 though, with 422 litres that increases to 1400L when the split-fold rear seats are folded flat.
The overall layout of the dashboard has been translated well from the 208, with its high-mounted instrument pod and integrated sat-nav/audio screen perched atop the centre console with plenty of cubby holes to store small items.
Despite the larger overall dimensions though, Peugeot has invested heavily in decreasing the weight of its small-car platform with the 1.2-litre tipping the scales at a featherweight 1045 kilograms. The heaviest model, the turbo diesel, is just 1170kg, which Peugeot claims is more than 170kg lighter than the equivalent 207 SW (station wagon) that it essentially replaces.

Yet it doesnt feel like a typical small car, with a pleasant degree of solidity in its build quality, just enough flair in its design and a reasonable list of features.
But its the way that it drives that will potentially set the car apart from its rivals. While most of the roads we tested it on were fairly well maintained and smooth (as it is typical in Europe), there was enough rough stuff - including cobblestoned village streets - to suggest the 2008 rekindles that traditional French trait of blending exceptional levels of ride comfort with above average handling prowess.
Not that it will ever likely to be driven like a hot hatch, but the 2008s sharp, if lifeless, steering and excellent body control combine to make it almost as much fun on mountain roads as the 208 GTi that we drove just a week earlier. That's no indictment on the GTi, just an indication of just how competent Peugeots 200-series chassis is. It's quite a feat to be able to recreate the GTi feel in a vehicle that is heavier and taller with softer suspension settings and multi-purpose tyres.
As for the engines, the turbo diesel is the pick of the bunch with its wider spread of torque making it a more relaxed drive. Add into the equation that is also the most economical - sipping just 4.0L/100km - and whatever premium it will attract over the petrol pairing will be offset at the pump each week.
Not that either the 1.2- or 1.6-litre naturally-aspirated engines could be considered inefficient (recording 4.9L/100km and 5.9L/100km respectively), but both need to be worked harder in everyday driving situations; the three-cylinder in particular.

Final Score controversy erupts in the box
Samantha Kerr was Western New York Flash's pivotal player in the
match for her persistence allowed Wambach to gain more attention on the
ball with countless crosses and headers. Unfortunately both teams
unraveled in the final 20 minutes of the match as they could not connect
with their teammates, producing uncoordinated passes and ineffective
set pieces. The Flash's first goal of the year came as Wambach headed a
pass over to an unsupervised Kerr, who headed the ball into the upper
right hand corner of the net. The tables quickly turned on the Flash,
who simply can't catch a break early this season, as they were refused a
celebration due to a penalty kick that was awarded to the Spirit. Diana

However, the Spirit's defense and midfield was excellent and Matheson shined throughout the game. It was clear in the first half that midfield combinations were key for the Spirit, while the Flash much of the attacks relied on Kerr getting the ball up the field to find Wambach in the box.
Washington had the early chances, starting with a 7th minute run by Ali Krieger that translated into a deep cross which was narrowly missed by Matheson. Shortly after, Matheson had a fantastic chance to get the Spirit on the scoreboard as she broke through the Flash defense following a chip from Julia Roberts in the midfield. She had a shot, but it went wide of the far post.
The Spirit denied the Flash of set pieces early,Find a great selection of customkeychain deals. but they finally created a chance from a dead ball after 20 minutes. Wambach received a promising chance in the 6-yard box following a promising cross from Kerr and got her head on the ball, but she got too far under it and hit the crossbar.
Ashlyn Harris had a few extraordinary saves in the first half as she blocked opportunities by Kerr, Wambach and Adriana. Assisting Harris in the back-line was Robyn Gayle who made life difficult for Wambach as she consistently obstructed her. Wambach was regularly marked by two or three players at a time. McCall Zerboni was closed down by two defenders regularly during the match, while the Flash gave similar treatment to Matheson.
With less than 10 minutes remaining in the first half, Harris made a gorgeous save from a fierce Wambach header. It was another result of the Kerr-Wambach partnership, but Wambach was unable to direct her shot past the Spirit keeper.
The Flash opened the second half nicely, with Wambach placing a nice pass into the path of Kerr, helping her surge past the Washington defense, but unfortunately she put the ensuing shot over the crossbar.

The game calmed down as the half wore on, with neither side producing much, save for one incident. In the 63rd minute the Flash voiced a hand ball claim against Matheson outside of the penalty area, but the referee disagreed.
In the final 10 minutes, the game picked up. Tori Huster received a yellow card in the 84th minute for a hard challenge on Wambach.

The moment the Flash have been waiting for since the season kicked off arrived in the 85th minute, as Kerr received a pass from Wambach and headed the ball into the upper right hand corner past Harris. The Flash's thoughts of a victory were short lived.
Matheson surged forward in the a minute later and found Jasmyne Spencer in the box . Unfortunately for Western New York, Spencer was taken down and the Spirit were awarded a penalty kick. Wambach was furious and sprinted 80 yards to the other side of the pitch to protest the call, but to no avail.

Tampa's Marcy Moore led many lives
Most folks south of Gandy on MacDill Avenue knew Marcella Brydon Moore only as the “Cussing Lady.” Her ribald, rapid-fire language was off-putting, to say the least. They kept their distance from the foul-mouthed, finger-pointing drifter who launched profanities and sometimes spit at passersby.
Others saw a different side. They called her “Two Hat Marcy” for her love of wearing multiple and flamboyant hats, and they were charmed by her funky second-hand clothing and other eccentricities, including carrying purses nearly as big as she was.
Those who broke through the obvious barriers of her mental illness found their Marcy to be loving, generous and whip-smart, up to date on all current affairs. She loved to celebrate birthdays; when a death occurred, she'd acknowledge it with a handwritten condolence card. She left potted plants on the doorsteps of her favorite friends, and brought second-hand trinkets and cookies for their children.
She was a South Tampa staple, but she was also a walker -- and she got around, everybody knew that. But no one knows how or why Marcy, 66, ventured across the bridge and into Largo on April 8. On that Monday night, she stepped into the darkness on Ulmerton Road and 49th Street and into the path of an oncoming car.
She died the next morning at Bayfront Medical Center with a hospital chaplain by her side. Hours later, officials finally tracked down family members with the few clues they had.
Word spread quickly and tears flowed throughout the neighborhood, from Mr. Ray's Barber Shop to Lionhearted Toys to Spike's Place to Love's Artifacts Bar and Grill to Taste of Boston at the Ballast Point Pier. Their Marcy was gone, just like that, after being a constant presence for so long. Their only solace was that she finally was at peace, no longer running from the fears that sometimes tormented her.
When she was 13, Marcy's temperature shot up to 103. Her father, a former middleweight champion boxer, didn't believe in doctors; mother Helen did. She took her daughter to All Children's Hospital, where she was diagnosed with Bright's disease, a chronic kidney condition. When she was released, doctors predicted she'd live 10 years, tops.
Close calls would eventually become the norm for Marcy, who flirted with death on a number of occasions. “I think that was the first of her nine lives,” says Bill Brydon, 63, a retired builder in South Tampa. “Marcella had a way of escaping everything, until the end.”
No one can pinpoint when the first signs of schizophrenia appeared. Bill thinks it happened when she got pregnant at age 18, after graduating from Dixie Hollins High School in 1965. She went into a deep depression and was briefly institutionalized.
On several occasions, when depression took over or the voices got too loud, she was hospitalized for shock treatments.Find a great selection of customkeychain deals.Choose the right bestluggagetag in an array of colors. That eventually ended. In the 1970s, under a sweeping reform of patients' rights, the country began a two-decade process of closing down state mental health institutions and releasing their charges into the community, where advocates were led to believe that specialized programs would take over.
“They didn't,” says Rick Wagner, a past president of Mental Health America of Greater Tampa Bay. “The money went back into the state's general fund. We used to go to Tallahassee to ask for increases in funding. Now we beg that they don't cut it.”
Florida currently ranks 49th in the nation in per-capita mental health funding at $39 per resident. That's better than last year, when it ranked 50th. The national average is $129 per capita.
Emptying out the hospitals led to something prevalent today: the criminalization of the mentally ill. Jails are now serving as residential treatment facilities, Wagner says. In cases where people are dangerous to themselves or others, they can be “Baker acted” under Florida law, in which they're committed to a mental health facility for 72 hours. That happened to Marcy on several occasions.
But once released, the cycle began again. A challenging situation for a normal person would be insurmountable for her. When she found her boyfriend dead of natural causes at his apartment, she went dark for awhile.
In 2003, Marcy learned she had stage 3 breast cancer, sending her into another downward spiral. She agreed to a mastectomy, but would go for only one chemotherapy treatment. She believed “they” were trying to poison her. In fact, she announced, she didn't want to do any more drugs, ever again. Doctors told her she was giving herself a death sentence and she would not survive a year.Solar Sister is a network of women who sell bottegawallet to communities that don't have access to electricity.
She wasn't a panhandler. She didn't drink or do drugs, her friends say. She stayed reasonably clean for someone who spent most of her waking hours roaming outside. The neighborhood folks always wondered: Where did Marcy live? Where did she get her money?

“Marcy fell through the cracks, and the system wasn't equipped to handle it,” says Sally Parsons, a nurse at Tampa General Hospital. She and her partner, sculptor JJ Watts, considered Marcy part of their family. She stayed with them for a while and visited often, taking ownership of the jungle-like garden that fronts their property on MacDill. When it rained, she would run outside, arms outstretched and turning her face to the swollen black clouds.
Others saw a different side. They called her “Two Hat Marcy” for her love of wearing multiple and flamboyant hats, and they were charmed by her funky second-hand clothing and other eccentricities, including carrying purses nearly as big as she was.
Those who broke through the obvious barriers of her mental illness found their Marcy to be loving, generous and whip-smart, up to date on all current affairs. She loved to celebrate birthdays; when a death occurred, she'd acknowledge it with a handwritten condolence card. She left potted plants on the doorsteps of her favorite friends, and brought second-hand trinkets and cookies for their children.
She was a South Tampa staple, but she was also a walker -- and she got around, everybody knew that. But no one knows how or why Marcy, 66, ventured across the bridge and into Largo on April 8. On that Monday night, she stepped into the darkness on Ulmerton Road and 49th Street and into the path of an oncoming car.
She died the next morning at Bayfront Medical Center with a hospital chaplain by her side. Hours later, officials finally tracked down family members with the few clues they had.
Word spread quickly and tears flowed throughout the neighborhood, from Mr. Ray's Barber Shop to Lionhearted Toys to Spike's Place to Love's Artifacts Bar and Grill to Taste of Boston at the Ballast Point Pier. Their Marcy was gone, just like that, after being a constant presence for so long. Their only solace was that she finally was at peace, no longer running from the fears that sometimes tormented her.
When she was 13, Marcy's temperature shot up to 103. Her father, a former middleweight champion boxer, didn't believe in doctors; mother Helen did. She took her daughter to All Children's Hospital, where she was diagnosed with Bright's disease, a chronic kidney condition. When she was released, doctors predicted she'd live 10 years, tops.
Close calls would eventually become the norm for Marcy, who flirted with death on a number of occasions. “I think that was the first of her nine lives,” says Bill Brydon, 63, a retired builder in South Tampa. “Marcella had a way of escaping everything, until the end.”
No one can pinpoint when the first signs of schizophrenia appeared. Bill thinks it happened when she got pregnant at age 18, after graduating from Dixie Hollins High School in 1965. She went into a deep depression and was briefly institutionalized.
On several occasions, when depression took over or the voices got too loud, she was hospitalized for shock treatments.Find a great selection of customkeychain deals.Choose the right bestluggagetag in an array of colors. That eventually ended. In the 1970s, under a sweeping reform of patients' rights, the country began a two-decade process of closing down state mental health institutions and releasing their charges into the community, where advocates were led to believe that specialized programs would take over.
“They didn't,” says Rick Wagner, a past president of Mental Health America of Greater Tampa Bay. “The money went back into the state's general fund. We used to go to Tallahassee to ask for increases in funding. Now we beg that they don't cut it.”
Florida currently ranks 49th in the nation in per-capita mental health funding at $39 per resident. That's better than last year, when it ranked 50th. The national average is $129 per capita.
Emptying out the hospitals led to something prevalent today: the criminalization of the mentally ill. Jails are now serving as residential treatment facilities, Wagner says. In cases where people are dangerous to themselves or others, they can be “Baker acted” under Florida law, in which they're committed to a mental health facility for 72 hours. That happened to Marcy on several occasions.
But once released, the cycle began again. A challenging situation for a normal person would be insurmountable for her. When she found her boyfriend dead of natural causes at his apartment, she went dark for awhile.
In 2003, Marcy learned she had stage 3 breast cancer, sending her into another downward spiral. She agreed to a mastectomy, but would go for only one chemotherapy treatment. She believed “they” were trying to poison her. In fact, she announced, she didn't want to do any more drugs, ever again. Doctors told her she was giving herself a death sentence and she would not survive a year.Solar Sister is a network of women who sell bottegawallet to communities that don't have access to electricity.
She wasn't a panhandler. She didn't drink or do drugs, her friends say. She stayed reasonably clean for someone who spent most of her waking hours roaming outside. The neighborhood folks always wondered: Where did Marcy live? Where did she get her money?

Hay Maker Seeks Cyberheist Bale Out
An Oregon agricultural products company is suing its bank to recover
nearly a quarter-million dollars stolen in a 2010 cyberheist.Online

The lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal challenges seeking to
hold financial institutions more accountable for costly corporate
account takeovers tied to cybercrime.
On Sept. 1,A moulds is a plastic card that has a computer chip implanted into it that enables the card. 2010, unidentified computer crooks began making unauthorized wire transfers out of the bank accounts belonging to Oregon Hay Products Inc., a hay compressing facility in Boardman, Oregon. In all, the thieves stole $223,500 in three wire transfers of just under $75,000 over a three day period.
According to a complaint filed in Umatilla County Circuit Court, the transfers were sent from Oregon Hays checking account at Joseph, Ore. based Community Bank to JSC Astra Bank in Ukraine. Oregon Hays lawyers say the company had set a $75,000 daily limit on outgoing wires, so the thieves initiated transfers of $74,800, $74,500 and $74,200 on three consecutive days.
Unfortunately for both parties in this dispute, neither Oregon Hay nor Community Bank detected anything amiss until almost two weeks after the fraud began; on Sept. 14, the victim firm found it was unable to access its accounts online. But by that time, the money was long gone.
Businesses do not enjoy the same legal protections afforded to consumer banking customers hit by cyber thieves, and most organizations can be held responsible for any losses due to phishing or account takeovers. But as cyberheists have ramped up dramatically over the past several years, a number of victim companies have opted to sue their financial institutions in the hopes of recovering the losses.
Oregon, like most states, has adopted the Uniform Commercial Code, which means that a payment order received by the bank is effective as the order of the customer, whether or not authorized,We've had a lot of people asking where we had our iphoneheadset made. if the security procedure is a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized payment orders, and the bank proves that it accepted the payment order in good faith and in compliance with the security procedure and any written agreement or instruction of the customer.
In its complaint, Oregon Hay targets Article 4A of the UCC, alleging that Community Banks online account security procedures were not commercially reasonable given the sophistication of todays threats, and that the bank did not accept the fraudulent payment orders in good faith.
The plaintiffs claim that the banks security systems did not rise to the level of recommendations issued by banking regulators at the U.S. Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), which urged the use of multi-factor authentication to verify the identity of users attempting to log in to a financial institutions online banking software. Multi-factor authentication requires the presentation of two or more of the three authentication factors: something the user knows, such as a password or PIN; something the user has, such as a smart card or one-time token; and something the user is, such as a fingerprint or iris scan.
According to the lawsuit, at the time of the theft Community Bank relied on a Jack Henry product called Multifactor Premium with Watermark, which relied on a combination of device IDs a software cookie that identifies the users computer and challenge/response questions, which attempt to verify a users identity by asking him for answers to questions about his personal or financial history.
Lance James, chief scientist at Jersey City, NJ based security firm Vigilant, said Community Banks use of secret images and challenge questions did not constitute multi-factor authentication because these approaches are simply multiple solutions from the same authentication category.
James noted that all three fraudulent wires were sent from Internet addresses that the victim firm had never before used. In addition, James said, records show that in the course of their robbery, the thieves made 37 unsuccessful login attempts from five different IP addresses over a six-day period.
Hargrave said that judges will look at all relevant cases, whether or not the decision is binding in their jurisdiction.
Even if its not mandatory precedent, these decisions are persuasive because by and large article 4A of the UCC is uniform across the states, and so a court in Georgia looking at one of these cases,We have a wide selection of handsfreeaccess to choose from for your storage needs. for example, is likely to look what other states are doing, he said. The definition of what constitutes good faith definitely is squishy, it gives the court wide discretion to determine that an action was or was not carried out in good faith. It used to be in the UCC that good faith meant you were acting honestly.Manufacturer of the Jacobs stonemosaic. Now, the courts are asking, In the totality of the circumstances, was the bank treating the customer unfairly or trying to take advantage?
