Tal Medical is a clinical stage medical device company pioneering the development of a novel, non-contact, neuromodulation device, for the treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders. Tal has exclusively licensed a portfolio of issued and pending patents for Low Field Magnetic Stimulation (LFMS), a technology pioneered at McLean Hospital. Tal Medical is initially focusing on the development of LFMS for the treatment of major depressive disorder and bipolar depression.
LFMS has the potential to be a breakthrough treatment for depression and has demonstrated a rapid (within minutes) antidepressant effect in two sham-controlled clinical trials in major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder patients. Both indications represent large unmet clinical needs in which the current standard of care require weeks to months of treatment before clinically meaningful efficacy is observed, if patients respond at all. Large scale clinical trials indicate that about one third or less of patients will have a satisfactory respond to a given treatment course with existing antidepressant medications.
Tal Medical is based in Boston and was founded in 2010 by PureTech in conjunction with a leading group of neuroscientists and clinicians.
Tal Medical is pursuing the development of a Low Field Magnetic Stimulation (LFMS) device. LFMS is a novel, non-invasive, non-contact, neuromodulation technique. Both clinical and preclinical data indicate that LFMS has the potential to be a rapidly-acting antidepressant treatment with therapeutic onset within minutes of treatment.
LFMS uses an electromagnetic coil external to the body to apply a time-varying magnetic field which induces a time-varying electric field in the brain. The electric field associated with LFMS is significantly different than the electric field of currently marketed neuromodulation techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). In both ECT and rTMS, neurons are directly depolarized by the electric field - the applied electric field is directly causing neuronal firing. In LFMS, the electric field strength is below the threshold required for neuronal firing. A sham-controlled neuroimaging study with LFMS indicated an immediate physiological response to LFMS treatment in the form of decreased glucose utilization. This result is in contrast to published studies with rTMS and ECT, which indicate these techniques lead to increased glucose utilization.
Patients treated with LFMS report no physical sensation associated with treatment. Importantly, this technique allows for robust double-blind clinical trials since neither patients nor device operators have an indication of the treatment status.
Caution - The Tal Medical LFMS device is an investigation device and is limited by United States Federal law to investigational use.

This is a fabulous place to stay. Maria was friendly & helpful from the start. My daughter & I checked in late but Maria ensured we had no problems getting our key. As said in past reviews there is free tea, coffee, sugar, jam & cornflakes, the room & shared bathroom were clean, the bus stop is nearby and it's only a short work to the historical city centre. We loved our stay & would definitely recommend staying at Malaga Lodge. Thank you so much Maria & we hope to see you again.

Last month at , a weekly variety show at , Kristen Schaal explained how a comic builds her career.
"It happens in stages," she said in a cutesy voice.
Then her co-host Kurt Braunohler chimed in: "Yeah, you start off with inanimate object audiences. Our first show was to just a bag of popcorn."
"And he was a dick," Schaal huffed. "He was so f***ing quiet. And I know he can be loud. He was loud earlier."
Schaal and Braunohler may have been burned by a scroogy bag of popcorn when they started their careers in New York 13 years ago, but nowadays they have no trouble getting a rise out of their (human) audiences.
In addition to juggling a myriad of comedic side projects (Schaal played Mel on "Flight of the Concords" and is a correspondent on "The Daily Show"; Braunohler contributes to a handful of online and network projects), the two have hosted a weekly variety show in Manhattan for six years. In August, they moved Hot Tub to Gowanus.
"The show has had a home at a bunch of different places —The Pit, [Upright Citizens Brigade], Comix, Pianos — but I think Littlefield is the perfect home for us and I think we're happier here than we have been than any location in Manhattan," Braunohler said.
Braunohler is not alone in his sentiments. Recently, a deluge of big name comedy acts has settled around Gowanus. Along with Littlefield, there's , the weekly variety show hosted by comedy troupes M.A.D. and Sidecar at the the occasional sidesplitter at , and a variety of open mic comedy nights hosted at Fifth Avenue bars like .
Another big comedic hub is Union Hall in Park Slope, home to Eugene Mirman's weekly show , Tyler Fischer and Sharron Paul's ever-popular monthly gig and Greg Barris' monthly music/art/comedy mash-up, Heart of Darkness.
"It's home," Paul said. "It's the perfect venue."
No matter where the acts are held, each one has it's own twisted personality. Hot Tub is one part adorable, two parts raunchy, three parts absurd. Gentrify Brooklyn leans toward the warm, conversational, and witty. Mirman's gig tends to be nice and sarcastic, a tribute to the bleakness of reality. Cheap Date offers a chance to laugh at the sorry underworld of New York's dating scene. Barris' show is imaginative and weirdly intimate.
For the most part, a show's lineup depends on which of the host's friends are in town that weekend. Reggie Watts (creator of "F***, Shit Stack") makes the occassional commute from Williamsburg to Union Hall for his (pretty good) friend Eugene Mirman. When L.A.-based comedian Kumail Nanjiani came to town for the weekend, he hit up Union Hall on Sunday and Littlefield on Monday. In other words, the area's jokester crowd is incestual, comedically speaking — a set-up that tends to bring big names to small venues. Earlier this year at Gentrify Brooklyn, for instance, Jimmy Fallon was a surprise guest.
"He knew some of the performers who were doing a show that night and halfway through their improv set he jumped onstage with them and started improving, which was pretty wild," Justin Tyler, a hosts of the show, said.
Tyler, who lives in Carroll Gardens and helped start Gentrify Brooklyn three and half years ago said the neighborhood's comedic revolution is simply an equation of proximity.
"So many people are doing comedy live in the neighborhood and they want to have a show near their house so they can get up on stage and work on stuff close to home," Tyler said. "It's a point of pride if, on a Saturday, you don't have to leave Brooklyn."
Barris, who lives in the East Village and favors Union Hall as a venue, has another explanation for the shift to Brooklyn.
"Where are you going to go in the city for a show?" he said. "I can't think of one where this is like, 'Oh this is an ideal venue.' There isn't a Littlefield in New York City, there isn't a Bell House equivalent. Because they've sort of disappeared."

The Lake of the Ozarks
The 1930s era building of
Bagnell Dam
Ameren Missouri's Osage
hydroelectric plant created a range of wildlife preservation opportunities at the now popular
Lake of the Ozarks
One of the largest heron rookeries in the state exists about 10 miles downstream of the Osage Plant, and the lake area is important for migrating ducks and wintering bald eagles.
Under terms of its federal operating license for Bagnell Dam and the Osage Power Plant, Ameren Missouri operated a fish hatchery at the lake until 1997, when it signed an agreement with the
Missouri Department of Conservation
to conduct fish stocking there.
Supported by an $80,000 annual grant from Ameren Missouri, the fish stocking program has resulted in a greater diversity of species being stocked in the lake, than was possible with the small hatchery operation in the past.
As a result, the Osage River downstream from Bagnell Dam is one of the highest fishing and fish catch areas in Missouri, containing more than 80 species. Ameren Missouri has also worked with the Missouri Department of Conservation to enhance the fishery by raising dissolved oxygen levels during the hottest summer months.
For its dissolved oxygen enhancement and other programs to protect aquatic resources, the American Fisheries Society, the world's oldest and largest organization of fishery scientists, presented Ameren Missouri with its prestigious Citizens Award in 1998. Two years later, Ameren Missouri's Osage Plant was one of three hydroelectric projects honored by the National Hydropower Association for

Hello from Jet Blue Gate 14. The one right after Gate 12. That's right, I just noticed there's no Gate 13! It's very interesting to me that superstition is so strong here in the U.S. that there are many buildings that don't have a 13th floor, and JFK opts out of Gate 13. Cut to, if my flight were leaving from Gate 13, I'd immediately buy a bus ticket.
Anyhoo, I'm on my way to New Orleans to start the Broadway Series that Mark Cortale and I are putting together at NOCA. Tonight (Jan. 7) is Patti LuPone, and then I'll be with Sutton Foster, Megan Mullally, Audra McDonald and Betty Buckley. Speaking of Patti, she guest-starred on Seth Speaks, my SiriusXM talk show, and we had plenty to talk about! Naturally, we discussed the Les Miz film and specifically her memories of playing Fantine in the original London cast. Turns out, as soon as she got to England, she got a cough that didn't go away til she came back to the States. She remembered that she would cough so hard, she'd see stars…and I don't mean Linda Evans (I tried to think of a signature '80's star). Even though her cough was chronic, she never did it onstage due to what she called "Dr. Broadway." If you don't know, that's the expression that implies that sickness magically goes away when you're onstage. Of course, in her case, it was "Dr. West End." Or, more specifically, "Dr. Royal Shakespeare Company." Patti also had been in a relationship with someone in New York in the mid-80's, but right before she began Les Miz, they broke up. She thinks that the break-up and the coughing actually helped her interpretation because just like Fantine, she was, as she says, "broken-hearted and consumptive." Perfect!
Patti also had a great story about her input into the score. She was rehearsing "I Dreamed a Dream" and remembers she was thinking, "How do I land this song?" She got to the part where Fantine sings "… as they turn your dreams to shame." Well, turns out, originally Fantine stayed on the same note, and it was the orchestra that did the long ascending line up a fifth. Patti asked the composer whether she could sing the ascending line instead, and he said yes, and thus was born one of my favorite parts of the song. And, on a side note, I haven't seen the Les Miserables film yet, but I am getting crazy from everyone excusing certain (supposedly) not great singing by saying that people are "acting" the song instead. To me, that statement says people can either sing or act a song. As anyone who has seen a great Broadway star knows, you can do both! Here is a clip of the concert I did with Patti in Provincetown, and watch her amazingly moving acting yet phenomenal well-placed high notes!

Staff Review:
Subtitle: "How Our Politicians Are Abandoning the Middle Class and Betraying the American Dream"
A scary, pessimistic look at the decline of the Middle Class in America. Though many will dispute this "decline," this book actually dares to print what many struggling middle-class families are thinking and saying to each other. A call to action to address the issues and policies that seem to be eroding Middle Class American lifestyles and dreams.

For some students this has been a problem. For the last two weeks computer labs all across campus have had problems printing. "I was in the library lab and couldn't print the assignment due at 9 a.m. the following morning," said Michael Steele, Weber State University senior. "I went from lab to lab looking for a printer that works. Finally, 1 found a professor who let me print my assignment on his computer whose printer isn't connected to the network." Students have had problems with logging on to the computers as well. Steele said that for a few days it would take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to logon. According to Ted McGrath, systems network manager, students should be able to logon without difficulty at this point. As for the printing problem, they aren't sure exactly what the problem is. "It kind of came out of the blue and whacked us," McGrath said. "About 10 days ago, it became unreliable and has affected the student labs. It's been very difficult to work with. Everything we've tried just hasn'-t worked." "It kind of came out of the blue and whacked us: About 10 days ago, it became unreliable and has affected the student labs.

Visiting scholar discusses practices of modern media By Jennifer Larson news editor The Signpost The last standing super power, the worth of ethics over the dollar and an everchanging industry were all topics of Thursday's Convocations. Orville Schell visited Weber State University students, faculty, staff and the local journalism community.

Throughout his lectures, Schell discussed the ever-changing media during the last 20 years, the ethics of journalism and the role journalists play in telling the truth.

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

From the "Farrah-do" to "the Rachel," television has been influencing our hairstyles for decades.
When Charlie's Angels premiered in 1976, star Farrah Fawcett had no way of knowing that her wispy tresses would be copied by women well into the '80s. Jennifer Aniston's character on Friends had the same effect in the '90s, when "The Rachel" inspired layered locks everywhere.
But not all memorable TV 'dos were celebrated. Remember when Felicity's Keri Russell caused hysteria by chopping her hair off before Season 2?
On the back of The Americans' hair and makeup trailer door is a photo collage of the cast and crew each in the same wig. It's not Clark or John Denver or any other of Philip's (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth's (Keri Russell) follicular get-ups on the FX series — but Felicity's famous curls."Isn't it hilarious?

The spy drama has never met a wig it didn't like, outfitting Russell and Rhys in such ridiculous and fantastic espionage 'dos, ranging from dowdy to sexy, that the wigs have become the true stars of the show."It's really been a wild experience," Peg Schierholz, the show's hair department head, says.

FRANKLIN, WI (LEARFIELD-WSAU) Jim Lemon of Madison is the first-round leader at the Wisconsin State Open golf tournament in Franklin. The 35-year-old Lemon, who played for a decade on the Canadian Tour, shot a five-under-par 67 yesterday at Tuckaway Country Club.
He has a one-stroke lead over two-time State Open champion Dan Woltman, 2012 State Amateur champ Brady Strangstalien of Madison, Austin Gaugert of Lake Geneva, and State Golf Association Hall-of-Famers Eddie Terasa and Jim Schuman.
Woltman, of Beaver Dam, played his first competitive round since April sixth when he had wrist surgery. The Open's defending champion, Andrew Steinhofer of Madison, is among nine players who are four strokes off the pace at 71.

I am definitely not the cheapest in the area and I'm sure not the cheapest on the site. That was my biggest concern with a place that just sends quotes out that people would just be looking for a cheap price over actual quality.
They have been sending me a request a day so far from various people. It costs around 3.50 per quote you want to send. They don't do memberships anymore you just pay per quote so I guess thats better. I might try it a few times just to see what happens because it is so cheap.
Thanks for the advice. Most of the leads they have given me were crappy. For instance one was for a person who wanted to have a makeup artist come over so that she could see how a professional would do her makeup. lol
Obviously, the only leads I would chase on thumbtack would be large weddings but I do get the feeling like you and the other poster said that it is people looking for a bargain not quality.
It's worth it if I even get 1 client for every 15 quotes I send out. So I guess that's the good thing about thumb tack. I also like that they give you the location of the wedding and date before you have to send out the quote.
I'm really the only non-hobbyist makeup artist on there for my area right now. I don't know if thats a good thing or bad thing for me since some of the other artist headlines read $50 per person or less. LOL

MOTHER's readers have learned how to convert a washing machine into a cement mixer, a potter's wheel, or an outdoor shower. Well, here's the latest idea for recycling this appliance: a homemade cider press. (See the Maytag cider press photos in the slideshow, above.)
I've long marveled at the ingenious workings of a countertop juicer my wife Sandie and I own. This particular model — made by Acme — uses centrifugal force to separate the liquid from the pulp after all the juicy material has been chewed to bits. Not only is the concept fascinating, but the machine is also very well made, and it's been more than satisfactory for making a few quarts of juice at a time.
However, since we have access to large quantities of free apples, I decided to pay homage to the Acme's intriguing design by incorporating the same principles in a larger juice extractor. And (over Sandie's strenuous objections) I figured that the family washing machine was a prime candidate for conversion into a motorized homemade cider press.
After dang near having my marriage license revoked for asking, I was eventually given the privilege of tinkering with the machine. I opened the top of the metal cabinet and took off all the unneeded hardware, gaining access to the porcelain/steel tub. I also removed the agitator from its shaft. Then I jigsawed a doughnut-shaped piece of 3/4-inch exterior-grade plywood to fit the bottom of the washer's perforated basket. With that done, I drove 1-inch panel nails (a full 400 of them) through the plywood, so their protruding points could serve as the shredder's teeth. Next, to give the newly fashioned blade a firm foundation, I placed it on three "feet," each cut from a 2-by-4 and glued and nailed in place. I went on to fasten the assembly to the basket with three wood screws, one in each foot.
I still needed something to hold the apples while the nails gobbled them up . . . so I bridged the top of the tub with two 8-inch-by-22-inch pieces of 3/4-inch plywood, which crossed just in front of the agitator shaft. At the point where the two braces joined, I cut a hole just large enough to force in a piece of (new) 4-inch PVC sewer pipe. I pushed the lower end of the conduit down to within a quarter-inch of the nail points and sealed it to the bridge with a liberal amount of epoxy.
At that point, I took stock of my handiwork and pondered what was suddenly an obvious design problem. If I were to drop an apple down the PVC fruit chute with the basket spinning, the nails would chew it to bits, right? Then the centrifugal force would send those bits — seeds and all — right through the holes in the washer basket and into the pump, and jam things up good, right?
Unfortunately, the analysis was correct on all counts, so I made a trip to the fabric store and bought several yards of sheer nylon mesh, which — together with some fiberglass screening — I used to line the basket as a filter. Finally, after a few last-minute adjustments, the time had come to scrub down the contraption and "take 'er for a spin."
Sandie and I scurried about gathering apples in preparation for the trial run. After we'd collected a hefty batch, I turned the washer selector to "spin/normal" and pulled the knob. I was elated: The washing machine cider press worked perfectly. In fact, during our original testing, we made 60 gallons of juice in four hours. Two weeks later, we were better prepared with more containers, apples, and helpers, and we were able to make 120 gallons of apple squeezings in just six hours.
Even though our cider extractor is a fairly small one, it can swallow about two bushels of fruit before we have to let it spin-dry so we can remove the pulp from the walls. (We put the fruit fiber in our compost pile.)
We've found that a bushel of McIntoshes will yield up to 3-1/2 gallons of tasty drink, however, a blend of several different varieties of apples makes an even better-rounded thirst quencher. We've also tried using the press with pears (which have a very sweet juice), and we're planning to process cherries and tomatoes, too, if we have abundant crops this year. (Grapes aren't a good idea, though, because they make a terrible mess.)
A few words of caution are in order, whatever fruit you juice. For one, be sure to wear glasses when operating the machine, because small pieces do fly out. And don't feed the whirling blade by hand. Instead, use a short length of 2-by-4 with a shorter length of 1-by-2 nailed crosswise to it as a stop, so the "pusher" won't splinter in the shredder.
All in all, it took me about $20 worth of materials and 16 hours to make my moonlighting Maytag, but who can put a price on a frosted mug of tart, tangy cider on a brisk autumn night?
EDITOR'S NOTE: If you're uncertain as to your washing machine's true destiny, you might check out some of MOM's previous suggestions. You can — for instance — convert a washer into a potter's wheel (MOTHER EARTH NEWS NO. 64, page 114) . . . a cement mixer (MOTHER EARTH NEWS NO. 65, page 100) . . . or a shower (MOTHER EARTH NEWS NO. 76, page 72). Also, MOTHER EARTH NEWS NO. 71 (page 62) gave directions for building a more conventional cider mill and press.

She currently is director of development for the National Youth Science Foundation. She can be reached at schwabestatejournal.gmail.com.
A friend of mine told me recently that when asked what I was up to, she replied, "She's living in Rome with an Argentinian polo player." I hope that in my next lifetime, something like this will be a reality.
My current reality was something far less intriguing: I was at my desk at work, opening mail. But for a short while, my brain spun, coming up with all kinds of answers to the "What are you up to?" question.
Answers that would make people gasp, stop in their tracks or just stare at me, slack-jawed with envy.
For example:
I thought these answers were far more appealing than what I was actually doing.
I mean, who would want to hear:
They say that one can make anything seem like fun, the old Huckleberry Finn paint-the-fence routine. Believe me, I've tried.
"I'm cleaning out the freezer, and I just found two desiccated packages of unidentifiable stuff. Stool samples for the vet? Wedding cake?"
Somehow that just doesn't have the same ring as a sentence with the words "billionaire" or "trying on diamond rings" in it.
I could really get into my more glamorous, imaginary life. You know, the one in which I am tall, blonde, shapely and a member of MENSA? The one in which my sheets and towels are changed every day, and I am not the one doing the laundry? The one in which any important person that I can think of will take my calls? The one in which heads turn when I walk into a room? The one in which I never have to worry about money?
Yes, I admit it. I want to be one of those women who rinses her baby arugula leaves in the sink of a gourmet kitchen with slate green walls, stainless steel appliances and marble countertops while wearing high heels with pointy toes. The kind who furnishes her house with a casual mix of priceless antiques and little gems she picked up while shopping at a French flea market. The type who has exquisite paintings hanging on her walls, given to her by her artist boyfriends.
Until that happens, I'll have to settle for the uneventful life I have, and my friend will have to continue making up exotic scenarios when asked what I am up to.
But lest you feel sorry for me, try to guess which of the "What are you up to" questions are not imaginary, but scenarios that actually have happened to me. A hint: there are four.

Dick remembers the day the Southern Cross Cable lost service - and says it will fail again
In the wake of Pacific Fibre's funding failure, the heads of major ISPs are worried about threats to the 50% Telecom-owned Southern Cross Cable - New Zealand's only high capacity connection to the outside world.
Concerns include human error, slicing anchors, acts of God, island dictatorships and a clocking ticking on mean time before failure.
Orcon boss Scott Bartlett told NBR he worried about an earthquake hitting the Southern Cross Cable's landing points in Auckland - an event he said could leave the country without internet for weeks or months.
"Bartlett's mischievous assertion of the "Southern Cross Network as a flimsy piece of infrastructure" is completely wrong," Southern Cross director of sales and marketing Ross Pfeffer told NBR.
"The Southern Cross Network* comprises two fully diverse cables, using two geographically separate cable stations in each country: NZ, Australia and Hawaii and the US West Coast.
"The network is configured as a self-healing figure "8" and is designed to achieve better than 99.999% availability, equivalent to 5.25 minutes of unavailability annually. Over the last 7 years customer circuit availability has exceeded these design figures.
"To minimise the potential for dual failure in the event of disruptive seismic activity our NZ cable stations have been placed 10.5 kilometres apart at Takapuna and Whenuapai with cable landings on the east and west coasts. [see diagram above right]."
As NBR has previously reported, the figure 8 design allowed the cable to survive an undersea earthquake that took out a shunt on one of its two loops (which also make the 26,000km cable more expensive to maintain).
The day Southern Cross went down
It's a neat argument. But no system is infallible.
And indeed CallPlus chairman Malcolm Dick points out that the Southern Cross Cable suffered a major outage over July 28 and July 29, 2001 (in online comments, Dick as been going on memory, but a Southern Cross incident report obtained by NBR closely aligns his version of events).
LATEST: Southern Cross Cable responds to Dick attack over 20-hour outage
A freak series of events saw both cables in the Southern Cross Network out of action - one down for routine maintenance, the other sliced by a ship's anchor in Sydney Harbour (where a had hit storm and ships were warned to weigh anchor downwind of the cable. One vessel had two anchors down. A crew member only pulled up one. The other dragged through the cable).
Software used to manage failovers failed.
"This caused a total outage, and Southern Cross staff had to manually route the working segments together, creating a 14-hour outage," Dick says.
Some customers were left without service for 12 hours, others for up to 20 hours.
"Fortunately at that time it was still the dial-up era and there was not much traffic on it, so it attracted little press," Dick told NBR.
The incident also highlighted that while Southern Cross offers fully redundant or "protected" service, not all telco and ISP customers stump up the extra cost required to take advantage of it.
Likelihood of future failure
Dick has also been looking at the statistical likelihood of of a future failure - and he doesn't like what he sees.
He details:
Looking at industry statistics for cable failures:
- Terrestrial cables have an average failure rate of 1-2 failures per 1000 years per kilometre
- In various studies I have seen the comment that Submarine cables are about 10 times more reliable that Terrestrial cables
- Terrestrial cables have a repair time generally of < 48 hours
- The Southern Cross cable has a repair time (estimated by Southern Cross execs to me some years ago) of three weeks
The maths says we can expect a total outage about once every 15 years," Dick says.
"The outage could happen tomorrow.
"[That's] frightening when you consider our newfound reliance on broadband and the fact that a break can take up to three weeks to repair."
The failure could happen in years, or it could happen tomorrow, Dick says. Either way it will be "catastrophic."
Dick backs comments from Pacific Fibre cofounder Rod Drury that a second cable operator was need not just for price, but redundancy and security.
Satellites there for fall-back, but would be overwhelmed
Snap Internet CEO Mark Petrie has been one of the few to publicly back Southern Cross on pricing - an area where he has faith the single operator will do the right thing.
But in term's of the possibility of service failure "I second Malcolm Dick's comments" the Snap boss told NBR.
"It is quite a frightening prospect. There would be no option for satellite capacity in my opinion. Maybe for essential services, but residential broadband would come to a very quick halt."
Fiji threat
Dick sees more threats.
"The cable runs into and past Suva in Fiji which is now a dictatorship," he told NBR.
"A couple of years ago, Fiji had a dispute with Tonga resulting in the Fijian Navy destroying the lighthouse put up [on disputed Minerva Reef] for safety."
Tonga erected two new lighthouses to guard the reef.
Dick was sailing through Minerva Reef a couple of weeks ago, and took the photo above of a Tongan naval vessel on patrol.
There are broader tensions.
"The possibility exists that if we annoyed Fiji too much, they have the capability of decommissioning one segment of the cable, leaving New Zealand with a single cable, virtually guaranteeing outages from time to time," Dick says.
Southern Cross has not so far responded to a request for comment on Dick's mean time before failure calculations.
* The cable's full name continues to be The Southern Cross Cable Network; Mr Pfeffer appears to have taken to have switched to calling it the Southern Cross Network to emphasise it has two strands of cable.
Comments and questions23
Southern Cross claim 5.25 minutes downtime a year, but already has had a 14 hour outage? That means it shouldn't have another outage for 160 years!
Easy to work out who is bullsh*tting
Need to read the article carefully, and the incident report that Chris attached. Yes SX says 5.25 minutes is the statistical average for a failure of both cable paths, and you can see that there was an icident that lasted 14 (to 20 hours), but as you can see in the incident report neither the traffic from NZ to the US or to Australia was affected which is utlimately the point of what SX are saying.
So I agree its easy to see ... but doesnt look like its necessary SX which Chris and others seem to be pushing. Makes good copy though!
How many people will switch off Xero in the event of a catstrophic failure of the cable. Lots I reckon. Mr Drury must be a teeny weeny bit concerned about that....
Not many actually, as Xero use Akamai, who route around damage - you connect to one of the half dozen akamai nodes in New Zealand.... Akamai's network is designed to flip over around damage in minutes - as long as aussie + us routes were not all out...
Possible but a lot scare mongering.
Why not put the money where your mouth is - which is why the new venture collapased it wasnt visionary it was a fight to take on the incumbant and pure ambition. They had plenty of time to cobble up a investors but couldnt.
Tall poppy syndrome is rife in NZ.
I also thinks its somewhat disingenious for Orcon to lament the demise of PF, and critic the reliance on SX etc, but in the same breath admit that they didn't invest a single dollar into PF.
Come on guys, if the ISPs who say they want/need/must have additional cables (for whatever reason) are not willing to put money in, and the rich list are unwilling to put their own money in, its no wonder they cant get another off the ground.
Scott should worry more about Orcon issues. Auckland is outside the earthquake zone. There are no 100% guarantees with technology, even banking systems. Put some perspective into NBR rather than acting as posthumous PR agents for Pacific Fibre.
Someone else will come along, understand the issues better, finance it and build it
Are you kidding me? We weren't expecting Christchurch (it was a hidden fault until it happened), so it would be silly not to expect and prepared ourselves in case something happens to Auckland.
Auckland is built on a bunch of volcanoes. Sure, just because they're sitting mostly dormant now, the unpredictable nature of the earth's crust means anything won't happen tomorrow. Or 10 years from now. Or 100 years from now. or 1000 years from now.
For the sake of ensuring continuity and preparing the country for the worst, adding a few hundred million to the already existing UFB build cost probably isn't a silly idea but, also to actually, you know, allow the UFB to deliver on it's promises of 100mbit/s for all: no point in having that kind of pipe if you can only get those speeds domestically.
SxC is already dangerously over-utilized on it's current equipment and frankly, getting a bit grey these days - it's well over half way in to it's service life and we need to look at supplementing (and replacing) the cable immediately, whether publicly or privately funded (or both), as any cable started now is going to take the better part of 3 years - maybe more - to complete, by which time SxC will be not too far from retirement.
If I had half-a-billion spare I'd build it but sadly as it's not the case all I can do is champion the idea to people who do. Granted, I have to wonder perhaps why the Pacific Fibre guys didn't self-fund: I'm sure they have a combined net worth of well over half a billion, so they wouldn't be going "all in", but even then, of the few NZ billionaires surely a couple would benefit significantly from such an enterprise based on their business interests?
In all this rhetoric people keep forgetting that only one NZ company has actually put the money to fund a cable so that you can all watch porn and youtube...
So while TNZ makes a dividend (i seem to remember it being $50m pa?) it also put up the original money to fund it....
Drury tweeted "today i learnt that hardware is harder than software"... which shows he didn't learn butkiss, this is an infrastructure game...
Do even the most basic back of the fag packet analysis... so TNZ gets $50m, Rod etal wanted $400m, WACC of generously 5% - $20m just to cover costs... how hard do you think it would be for SX to price match and ruin that business case...
I'm surprised the Scumatawhenawa haven't tried to claim internet data yet.
When Egypt's internet went down for 5 days in 2008, OECD worked out it cost them $110million.
To be fair the folk at Southern Cross do have a heart. A couple of years ago a USA landlink was damaged by flooding in Oregon and was out for days. Those ISPs who had purchased only unprotected capacity on the system to save a buck were also restored on some spare capacity even though Southern Cross had no obligation to do that.
Is it time now for some discussion on how we can find a solution that merges decent physical diversity, commercial competition, and shared construction cost into an innovative solution? It might even include Southern Cross but whatever it should not have NZ being connected only to Australia. I think that would be short sighted for NZ business.
if the govt cared a damn about anything other then being re-elected, they'd fund a second cable, but nope not a bean.
Perhaps if Southern Cross fails and the cyber apocylpse means we can't all hang out online we might do something novel like ressurect the art of talking, communicating and experiencing the now... would that be such a sad thing?
The Fiji risk argument makes it difficult to take anything Malcolm Dick says seriously
" If we annoyed Fiji too much "
Who is " We " I would ask ?
Southern Cross Cables is a company registered in Bermuda.It is neither NZ owned nor NZ controlled .
Fiji has just the one cable connection at the moment.
The idea that Fiji would cut their only cable link with the rest of the world just because NZ annoyed them, is the thought of someone struggling for a good argument but failing
They could cut our cable to the USA and still be connected to the USA themselves. Look at the network map.
yes they could,I may fly over on a pig and show them how !!!Duh
Fiji are trying to position themselves as an island hub for internet .... with the new Tonga cable connecting there and recent announcement about a Vanuatu cable ... Can't see how even the most power hungry dictator would think its a good idea to shoot his own foot off by ticking off the company that connects them to the US!
Some years ago, after a BBN packet switch install for an NZ subsidiary of Barclays bank, I made a suggestion what if Barclays (not now!) were to fund an infrastructure build to create a Pacific Switching and Relay Centre for the then data requirements for Pacific Rim nations. The aim was to subsidise NZs cable costs by providing the Hosting & Network Management of this infrastructure resource within the globally strategic safe-haven country of NZ (ie a trusted but remote backwater of the world). We would be able to act as a backup Pacific switching node for the major economies of the Pacific during outages being the small, educated and trusted 'fair dealer' of our region...Barclays at the time, managed their global network at three points London + 2 other locations separated by 8 Hr time zones. Network Managed 'roaming' if you will. Given our rapidly increasing reliance on delicate (political) & physical communications infrastructure - could a working business case be proposed to support such a win-win option? Security of Undersea Cable-Network Operations for PACRIM economies vs Highly skilled, highly paid careers, plus critical mass for a Weightless export economy for NZ.

In a move that should save WGCL-TV a few bucks, the station is handing over all sports duties to 790/The Zone.
Veteran sports anchors Gil Tyree and Mark Harmon will be let go at some point early in the new year but will continue with their regular duties for the next few weeks.
"I have great respect for Gil and Mark," said news director Steve Schwaid. "Btt we are now aligning ourselves with an organization that does sports 24/7 365 days a year. This will give us even more sports content over the next few years. I think this give us more flexibility in the world of sports. The analogy I use is how ABC News uses ESPN for its sports coverage."
Many news stations in smaller markets have scaled back or cut sports segments completely out of their newscasts, especially at 11 p.m. Both General Manager Kirk Black , who created a similar alliance when he worked in Kansas City, and Schwaid said this outsourcing was a way to continue the same amount of sports coverage but free up cash to expand regular news programming.
In fact, Schwaid said they will be adding six people to the staff, including two more general assignment reporters. (WGCL is generally in fourth place overall among news operations and has had the least resources relatively speaking.)
The Zone will use its hosts for CBS Atlanta newscasts and original sports programming such as Sportsline, the SEC Wrap-Up Show and the CBS Atlanta Dawg Show. How this will be parsed out among the likes of Chris Dimino, Nick Cellini, the Stews and others has yet to be determined but should be in the coming weeks.
"The importance of old bread-and-butter local sports segments has continued to diminish," noted Black, in this day and age of iPhone sports score access and online video and such. "No one is sitting around until 11:23 p.m. to find out whether their favorite team won or lost."
Andrew Saltzman, president of 790/The Zone, said he's excited by the prospect of working with WGCL. "We bring to the table credibility and equity in the sports game here," he said. "And we are blessed with a stable of talent that virtually has all done television at some point."
He is also psyched to know that CBS is the marquee home for next year's Super Bowl, the Masters and SEC football games, to name a few.

Channel 46 may have part of this right. Their two sports anchors are zero's in this city. The Gil dude looks like a frog and Harmon resembles puppet with a bad haircut. How has survived all those years? Neither of them are worth a warm bucket of spit. Here is where WGCL has it wrong; 790 appeals to only men who live in their parents basement. 46 should partner with WABE. Let Lois and John talk sports it can't be worse Shapiro or whomever.

The only way adding a stable of guys to cover the same sports as two would be if the zone personalities as a group are working for free. I guess face time can't hurt for exposure for the radio station, but call it what it is. Free labor.
It is disappointing that the most popular sport in this area, college football, will be covered by a bunch of guys from the north who really prefer the pro game. They pretend well though.
I hope that Steak is smart enough to stick to the radio. He is bad on TV and I think even he knows that. He's obviously a pretty good business man though. I will never, ever, watch a broadcast of news on that station again if the put either of the illiterate Two Live Stews on the air. They really appeal to a more juvenile audience than should be desired by a news program.

Please….this is nowhere near as dumb as two idiots who are fans of the Braves biggest rivals covering our Bravos for the next 5 years at 680 or having a bulldog hero in Buck Belue discuss Florida Gator football like he is really into it. Better personalities? yeah maybe if they were competing with an old folks home. The only show that is worth listening too on that station is not even a local show.
And really who is the least knowledgeable about sports than Christopher Rude? Steak is obnoxious, but is he really any different than Kincaid or Lorentino? Chris and Nick are the best sports personalities in Atlanta and I figure will be on the broadcasts the most.

Sports is a waste on local TV. They have little content and no value. HS Football on TV, what a joke. I only care about my kid's team, not yours.
The sports radio folks will do a far better job.
and in this day and age of media cutbacks you have to give the company credit for spending the money on video I may want to actually watch. Getting rid of their local sports anchors wasn't really a tough question.

Talk about rearranging the de3ck chairs on the Titanic!

11:12 pm
I concur with Gary, both station really are unlistenable, but put a gun to my head and i will choose 790, I still don't know how Kincaid got a national show. If the Stews shouldn't have a national show than neither should Kincaid. At least 790 has some diversity whereas as 680 is, well……!

What a joke. Hey Gary what are you talking about? 680 is now the flagship of the Gators and Braves and will certainly shill for them but:
- 790 has a Bulldog-on the flagship station of the Yellow Jackets
-790 has hosts who hate the Hawks (Steakie and Cellini are openly Celtics fans) –on the Flagship of the Hawks
-790 has some relationship with the Falcons, with Dimino and Mike Bell rooting for the New York Giants
-The Stews don't speak English
-Pollack sounds like he's 12 and Bell is a 40 year old perv.
-Brandon and Woolvie-MY GOD MY EARS BLEED!
It is dumb and certainly cheap. Guess what Kincade, Perry nor Rude don't need to be on TV either. Cheap labor and free plugs for 790. Yet another sign the economy has not recovered from its downturn.
Another reason for satellite radio and NFL network.

The lowest rated local news, partnering with the lowest rated sports talk morons… sounds like a match made in heaven. I'm a 680 guy, Chuck and Chernoff do a great show and are fun to listen to. I try to listen to 790 but can't get their signal near my house…

WGCL tv news is PITIFUL!They want to be "in your face" hard hitting news oriented but have a woman doing weather who has no background.Did anyone notice they had the weekend person Chris Martinez doing the newscast when we had all the rain that week in September.He is a legetimate meteorologist.I turn to another station for news at 11 p.m. and then come back to Letterman if he has a decent guess on.As for the sports Mark Harmon was a good Sports Anchor before they brought in Gil Tyree.Turkeys attract turkeys!!!!

I am just a sports fan with a little sports knowledge and a little more business knowledge. To me, it looks like the CBS network has some great brands (SEC Football, March Madness, etc) and 790 aligning themselves with those brands makes sense. When you throw in the exposure 790 receives from the relationship, it seems like a sound decision to me.

It is an interesting concept…but the local news only allows about a 30sec slot for sports anyways and who watches it when sports center is on and showing every highlight or you can go to a sports news channel and see all the highlights….but I will say good job to Steak to get those guys fired….

The only time anyone watches local news is when there are floods or a "chance of snow". They should run Seinfeld or some other sitcom and only offer a local newscast when meaningful issues "crop up". Otherwise, its just a loss leader for 11:30 programming….

If it makes sense to outsource sports, and I think it does, then why not outsource other things like:
national news
Entertainment / BS stories
Just have a 7 minute top of the hour local segment and then have the rest of the time outsourced.
Why doesnt this make sense?

ATL sportsfan is right. This is more of a move to align themselves with CBS Sports who is quickly becoming a great alternative to ESPN. The CBS Sports website is much better than ESPN and their sports content is second to none. No one does March Madness, SEC Football, or the Masters better. It is a win-win for both.
Billy, my comment about Kincaid and Lorentino being a part of the Braves flagship, yet they are fans of the teams two most hated rivals. They take every chance they can to bash the Braves. Lorentino even shows up at the Braves games with Mets apparel on and mocks the fans. Yeah, 790 has a Dawg covering GT, and Celtic fans covering the Hawks. But they don't let their allegiances override the fact that they are covering Atlanta sports teams and are catering to Atlanta sports fans. The Falcons get an exceptional amount of coverage from the Zone and all personalities seem to be rooting for the team to win. You crap on Bell for being a Giants fan, but if you listen you would know that he has been a Falcon season ticket holder for the last several years. Sounds like a converted Falcons fan to me. Also, the Zone does have some personalities who actually went to GT. You know Ryan Stewart played at Tech right?
How can anyone crap on David Pollack when he has vastly improved on radio and his TV gigs? I really wished I could say the same for Leo.

790 is doing anything to let people know they are still in Atlanta because their signal is awful. Until they get the signal up, please get the signal up. Plus 790 shows love to basketball (as does Sporting News). There are 3 Dickey Stations and all I hear is baseball and college football, and very very little hoops.

Yo C … carrying water in the ATL for Toucher, Rich and Crash won't get you much. If they were any good they would still be here live and local.
and the arraignment of 790 joining with 46 … both have low low rating so it should be a very interesting experiment.
and since 46 is a Meredith property maybe Shapiro can do features for House and Garden. [sorry couldn't help the shot cha cha]
October 29th, 2009
4:51 pm
Poor move by 46.
They would be better off with no sports and I am a huge sports fan. But lets be real, all you get on
local sports during the newscast is information you got off the internet hours ago.
Now you will have some butt clowns from 790 having a cirucs on 46
What a joke.
October 29th, 2009
5:49 pm
@Peathtree Pete I agree
@Telling the Future-you are telling the truth
@ Gary-Pollack, Ryan Stewart, Michael Irvin, Teddy Bruschi and the like are all on tv. Not because they are great or good broadcasters…BUT BECAUSE THEY PLAYED FOOTBALL!!! If you think Pollack or anyone at 790 is a great TV Broadcaster, then you will be one of the 3 people watching them.
This is no power move, this is the TV station with the worst ratings in town, having talent from the worst sports talk station in town (Check the ratings that Rodney posts) do a job for a lower price. You'll get what you pay for which in this case, is a joke.

October 29th, 2009

I agree that Dagmar does not belong in a weather department in a city this big. A while ago she did not know the differenve between a tornado watch or a tornado warning. How in the world can a tv station in a city this big try to get any kind of ratings with a meteorologist in prime time who has no qualifications whatsoever. No wonder they are ranked at the bottom of the totem pole.
