The 700 islands of the Bahamas Islands begin 50 miles off the coast of Florida, stretching 760 miles to the southeast. The heritage of Old Nassau blends the Southern charm of British loyalists from the Carolinas, the African tribal traditions of freed slaves, and a bawdy history of blockade-running during the Civil War and rum-running in the Roaring 1920s. Over it all is a subtle layer of civility and sophistication, derived from three centuries of British rule.

Why not use the built in SIP VoIP, runs in the background and fully integrated to Phonebook etc. ?

Why not use the built in SIP VoIP, runs in the background and fully integrated to Phonebook etc. ?
Have tried different params, like the one used in S60 without any luck. I have come to the conclusion that X3-02 does not support VoIP over 3G. This would be also in line with the VoIP documentation...
You might have better luck on getting your voice heard if you contact Nokia directly, http://europe.nokia.com/support/contact-us
stambo98, see http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/14894e12-030c-4e70-bcd4-bce21fd9c81d/Release_Note_for_Nokia_Series_40_VoIP_Releases.html for the differencies. Perhaps the biggest one is...
Could you share the XML with which you get the error note
@stambo98: your XMl template is for 6300i, there are some new stuff in X3-02. See,...
@traud: at the time there was not much else information available. The UI integration points(phonebook, call logs etc. etc.) look the same as in old 6300i.
Some of the Nokia handsets have built in VoIP capability. List of such handsets is maintained here in FN, http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/VoIP_support_in_Nokia_devices
Perhaps they mixed C3-01 and C3-00 in Nokia side as the first one has built in VoIP support and the latter does not. Did they mention any VoIP app names that can be downloaded from Ovi to Series40 ?
Pretty neat tool, making the configuration of VoIP providers really easy.
@Traud: do you mean the contact form on the web page did not work ?
Btw. Does anyone know more of the X3-02 and its...
Yes you are right, the "VoIP support in Nokia phones" page has dissapeared from Forum Nokia. Very strange.
I can recall that 6300i and 6260 slide from Series40 range had built in VoIP capability....
According to the public Forum Nokia information the Series40 device you refere to, 6300i, only has built in SIP VoIP support that you can configure according to...
@traud: coudl you share what the big bug is ?
Seeing exactly the same symptoms, but I have Visual Studio 2005. Did you get your app to link ?
Atleast in 6300i, the internet call icon has a "lock" in it if the call is encrypted. If there is no "lock" then the call is not encrypted and it could be eavesdropped by someone.
Have you looked at the S40 VoIP documentation (Settings Example XML and Configuration Tutorial PDF), it has some examples.
Great to hear it works.
You seem to be missing the AAUTHDATA parameter from the SIP settings, which according to the settings example is mandatory. Altough I think it should not register without that either, but you newer...
Separate window ? or do you mean quote, like this.
Does your error message come to the screen immediately when initiating a call ? or with some delay (few seconds) ?
If you get your 6300i to register to the VoIP service, then the EAP-TLS should not be the problem in failing calls, because EAP-TLS is connection level thing.
What error note do you get when you...
From the phone spec page and from the UAprof (found under general section) you can find atleast some of the answers to below questions.
Janus104, I have a question as my French is not so good :confused:
You mention security certificates, do you mean the EAP-TLS ? If so then please note that Series 40 does not support EAP-TLS as...
Janus104, could you share links to the SIP settings web page in free.fr and/or S60 settings XML that work.
Have you tried online shops (f.ex. this) ? Also within EU you can order it abroad without any additional tax costs.
Hi _olle,
Could you share your code which enables the communication over USB to the Nokia device in Windows ?

(WMC-TV) - The Action News 5 ShapeUp ShowDown contestants had quite the weekend with another weigh-in and a new physical challenge.
The gang got out of their regular workout digs for a spin class at Bellevue Baptist Church.
Cristie Rogers is learning that weight loss has as much to do with your frame of mind as the food you eat and the workouts you do. She is using the 90 day weight loss challenge to get her thinking on the right track.
Rogers lost about 60 to 70 pounds before joining the ShapeUp ShowDown weightloss competition.
"I had the surgery December 17, 2012," she said.
The surgery Rogers is referring to was a gastric sleeve or bypass. It was something the 26-year-old single mom thought would help her control portion sizes and take away the comfort she says she found in food.
"I think it was more my ignorance thinking, 'Oh, I'm gonna have this surgery and I'm gonna wake-up skinny,'" she said.
Rogers says the new and smaller size of her stomach is what initially kept her from eating much after the surgery.
But then reality set in.
"And then afterwards it doesn't take the craving out of fast food," she said. "And it doesn't, it makes you still wanna eat cheeseburgers, you just limit your portion sizes."
So, it still requires a lifestyle change. It was a change that Cristie says she could not master on her own. But now, she believes she is in the right program with the right people.
"So, I think with this program, it'll educate me a little bit better with the nutritional and physical side of it," said Rogers, who is ready for the challenge.
The contestants in ShapeUp ShowDown have lost a total of 100 pounds so far.
Rogers has lost a little more than seven pounds since starting with Shape Up Showdown on November 2.

Someone Needs To Take The Negative PR Off Of Abortion's back
As I was reading this post on "Abortion Doulas" I got to thinking about being pro-choice, abortion in general and about abortion in India in particular (as this is where I live). Out here, we tend to look at abortion as something shameful, disgusting, a thing to keep under wraps. No "good Indian" girl ever gets an abortion. If she does, people whisper about her in hushed tones for what she did was indeed disgusting. Interestingly, this is the attitude for abortion only for single women, unwed mothers etc. Within the sanctity of marriage, many women are forced to abort their unborn female fetuses. That isn't entirely looked down upon. In fact, aborting the girl child is seen as the only solution.

The Health Benefits of Milk
Of these six varieties of milk, find which kind will do your body good.
Traditional Milk
The lowdown: After it's taken from the cow, the milk is pasteurized (heated, then quickly cooled) to kill bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella,
and listeria. It's an excellent source of protein, calcium, and vitamins D and K. Skim is the healthiest option, says Tanya
Zuckerbrot, a registered dietitian in New York City and the author of The F-Factor Diet ($15, amazon.com). "It's nutritionally similar to whole but doesn't contain saturated fat and actually has more calcium." If skim is too watery
for you, try enhanced skim milk, which has a richer texture.
Good to know: Getting more (skim) milk may help you avoid weight gain. Recent research has found that a lack of calcium may trigger the release of certain hormones, leading to increased fat storage.

July 23, 2011, the remaining original members of Spy 66 took to the stage at The Odeon in Saskatoon to shred once again for their many fans, and to pay tribute to a fallen brother.
Their show on 07/23/11 was 11 years to the day of a tragic touring accident which claimed the life of original Guitarist Jason Keller. This is Set 2-Part 1/3 of that performance.
Spy 66 was one of Canada's fastest up and coming metal/punk acts of the late 90's, headlining dates on the 2000 Warped Tour alongside bands such as Anti-Flag, Green Day and NOFX. Spy 66 had also recently completed a cross-Canadian tour with the U.K. Subs and were planning European dates for the fall and further world domination before the accident.
More footage from this concert, as well as an interview with Beau and Acey, guitarist and front man respectively will be up on the web shortly.
Conversations with today's touring Punk Rock bands + video of their sets = The Grind We're also a show on PunkRadioCast.com that airs Fridays at 12pm PST / 3PM EST / 9PM CEST We routinely bring a video camera along to the events and post some interview parts along with live songs from the bands on our show. We've talked with the biggies like Rise Against, Gallows, Propagandhi, Strike Anywhere, Death By Stereo, Strung Out, etc and love sharing quality, new and up and coming bands on the scene. The Grind basically covers Western Canada (where we're based out of) but occasionally venture to parts of the United States & Europe to bring back some punk rock goods! Along with interviews, we also regularly feature wicked bands in our From The MailBox segment, where we spin a few songs and give some related info to bands that we think you should know about. Although we're on PunkRadioCast.com... we're not limited to Radio, or to punk. As previously mentioned, check out our Grind Videos on Blip TV, or at www.thegrindprc.com. If we think it's cool, you'll hear something about it on the Grind, be it rock, metal or the many factions & fractions of punk rock. Check it out! Tell your Friends! Cheers

You will undoubtedly have all the comforts of home with beautiful Orange County weather and gorgeous views. You are just a short walk to the Corona del Mar Beach as well as the village with all its charming shops and cafe's. You are also just minutes from Fashion Island, Balboa Island, Crystal Cove State Park, Pelican Hill Resort and Golf Course, Laguna Beach, and the famous ocean beaches on Balboa Peninsula.
The home is currently valued at $2.2 million and features 3 very good sized bedrooms all with their own upgraded bathrooms. The master bedroom suite has gorgeous views of the pacific and features a king-sized bed, fireplace, jacuzzi jetted tub, double vanity, and walk-in closet. All the bedrooms are complete with nice linens and bedspreads, the bathrooms include towels, facecloths, and hand towels. You will also have the convenience of beach towels, beach chairs, an umbrella, and an outdoor shower to rinse off all the sand before you come back into the house.
The kitchen features granite counter-tops, stainless steel appliances, place settings for 8 people and all the cookware you need to prepare your favorite family dishes in the comfort of your new vacation home. We supply toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, laundry detergent (yes, there is a washer and dryer as well), liquid soap, hair dryers, an iron and ironing board, and finally a vacuum cleaner to use as needed. There is a 2 car garage that can fit 2 average-sized sedans or one large suv. There is also space for parking in the driveway behind the garage. This is a big benefit given the limited parking in Corona del Mar during the busy summer months.
My favorite part of this vacation home is the spacious rooftop deck that features brand new upscale patio furniture that you can relax in while you enjoy a glass of chardonnay or merlot watching the luxury yachts cruise by. If you stay there long enough you will surely see a dolphin or two, you will definitely hear the sea lions barking off in the distance hanging on to the buoy, and a local pastime is watching the pelicans diving for fish nearby. I would time all of this just before sunset so you can take in the beautiful skies at the sun sets behind Catalina Island off in the distance!

The U.S. Department of Education uses estimates of school-age children in poverty to allocate federal funds under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act for education programs to aid disadvantaged children. Historically, the allocations have been made by a two-stage process: the department's role has been to allocate Title I funds to counties; the states have then distributed these funds to school districts. Until recently, the department has based the county allocations on the numbers and proportions of poor school-age children in each county from the most recent decennial census. States have used several different data sources, such as the decennial census and the National School Lunch Program, to distribute the department's county allocations to districts. In 1994 Congress authorized the Bureau of the Census to provide updated estimates of poor school-age children every 2 years, to begin in 1996 with estimates for counties and in 1998 with estimates for school districts. The Department of Education is to use the school district estimates to allocate Title I basic and concentration grants directly to districts for the 1999-2000 and later school years, unless the Secretaries of Education and Commerce determine that they are "inappropriate or unreliable" on the basis of a study by the National Research Council. That study is being carried out by the Committee on National Statistics' Panel on Estimates of Poverty for Small Geographic Areas.

By setting attribute showFirstTime to true the help text is shown to user the first time this widget is opened. Language used in help text is the same as the device (and WidSets client) language. If that language is not found then default is used, in this case English.
Help item can be also be shown in option menus by using OPEN_HELP action id constant.
Class templates
Generic base classes can be defined at server side so that one script can be used with multiple widget configurations and skins - templating.
Currently only one base class is available.
- Syndication - See Syndication widgets
More classes to be added.
Instead of declaring the script .he just define
<resources> <class src="Syndication"/> </resources>
Dynamic service invoking

- void call(Object state, String serviceVersionAction, Value argument, SuccessCallback onSuccess, FailureCallback onFailure)
serviceVersionAction consist of the service name string (same as used in widget.xml), version number of the service schema (currently 1), and service action (previously given standalone in service-call).
call(null, "http/1/get", ["url" => "http://www.google.com"], ok, nok); void ok(Object state, Value ret) { printf("result: "+ret); } void nok(Object state, String error) { printf("error: "+error); }
TODO: Link to apidoc
Widget strings can be localized for different languages.
Example code: Archived:Example Localization in WidSets

Menu getMenu(Shell shell, Component focused) { Menu menu = new Menu() .add(SEND_WIDGET, "Share"); return menu; }
This opens a dialog in which the user can enter the phone number to which the widget is sent. If the phone number is registered for WidSets user's account, a sharing message will be sent to this user's inbox. If user does not have a WidSets account, a new account is created, the widget is added to the dashboard, and a SMS message containing the WidSets client download link is sent to the phone number given.

Concerned about sensitive corporate data that lives on employees' iPads finding their way to places they shouldn't? Symantec says it has an answer to that risk, and it won't get in users' way. In early 2012, it plans to deliver an extension to its data loss prevention (DLP) product that enables DLP filtering from the iPad or, more precisely, from files, emails, and any other communication sent via HTTP and HTTPS from an iPad through the network.
It's clear that security vendors are hoping to capitalize on ongoing fears about iPads, iPhones, and other mobile devices now entering the workplace in the hands of employees rather than through IT. Multiple surveys recently showed that the "bring your own" approach is now the norm at businesses large and small.
[ Compare the security and management capabilities of iOS, Android, WebOS, Windows Phone 7, and more in InfoWorld's Mobile Management Deep Dive PDF report. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights via Twitter and with the Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
In 2010, mobile device management (MDM) tools helped IT realize it could secure such devices without abridging the dual business/personal use of those devices. Next came fears over mobile application management (MAM), but those IT fears haven't translated much into security offerings as yet, perhaps because figuring out how to get into each application -- especially on platforms such as iOS that firewall apps from outside intrusion as a security measure to reduce malware's damage potential -- is very hard.
Now, security vendors are looking to protect the data itself. Last week, Zenprise announced a SharePoint client for the iPad that extends SharePoint policies to documents stored in the Zenprise iPad client (Microsoft has no such client) -- but only in that client. And MobileIron announced last week an API for iOS apps that let its MDM tool manage the content in apps that use the API; iOS app developers such as GoodReader and Box.net say they'll implement the MobileIron technology when it exits beta next year.
Symantec is about to enter the fray, with a more traditional DLP approach. Rather than deal with data piecemeal on the iPad, it focuses on the communications coming from the iPad, filtering them for violations of the company's data-access and data-sharing rules as specified in the DLP server. Thus, no matter what apps a user has on the iPad, any data sent from the iPad over the network is scanned and filtered -- the same goes with data sent from PCs using the same DLP server. Symantec plans to release the iPad extension to its DLP product in early 2012, charging a monthly license fee for each iPad user (the price tag will be based on the number of seats).

Published in slightly different form under the title "I Accuse ...!" in
Flagpole Magazine
, p. 8 (October 18, 2006).
Author: Donald E. Wilkes, Jr., Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law.
A Letter to the Hon. Clarence Thomas,
Associate Justice, Supreme Court of the United States
My dear Mr. Justice Thomas,
With all respect, will you permit me to express candidly my concerns about your proclivity for demeaning human rights? Will you allow me to tell you frankly, sir, that because of your relentless hostility to human rights claims you are a painful embarrassment to the Court you sit on, to America's heritage of liberty, and to the rule of law?
In two previous Flagpole articles, one published on April 30, 2003, the other on May 28, 2003, I examined at length your benighted judicial voting record and your strange anti-human rights philosophy. Since then you have continued in human rights cases to vote systematically in favor of assertions of government power and against claims of individual liberty, especially in the context of criminal procedure where you rule in favor of the government nearly 90% of the time. (The grim statistics are in 31 Hastings Const. L. Q. 499 (2004) and 32 Hastings Const. L. Q. 909 (2005)). Typical examples:
■ In Rasul v. Bush, 542 U.S. 466 (2004), you were one of the four dissenters from the decision of the Court. In your judgment, aliens imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay were beyond the reach of the writ of habeas corpus.
■ In Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, 542 U.S. 507 (2004), in which the Court held that due process required that an American citizen, detained without charges indefinitely and incommunicado in a high-security military prison as an "enemy combatant," solely on the authority of President Bush, be given meaningful opportunity to contest the factual basis for his detention, you were the only dissenter. You were the only Justice to hold that Hamdi should be denied habeas corpus relief outright and the only Justice to conclude that it would be constitutional to deny a detainee both access to counsel and notice of the factual basis for the government's determination that he was an "enemy combatant."
■ In Missouri v. Seibert, 542 U.S. 600 (2004), you were one of the four Justices who dissented from the Court's decision, which invalidated an outrageous police protocol for custodial interrogation under which police, in violation of the Miranda decision, would deliberately not give the Miranda warnings to suspects until after they had been interrogated and confessed.
■ In Roper v. Simmons, 543 U.S. 551 (2005), you were one of the four Justices who dissented from the Court's decision that the execution of youths who were under 18 at the time of their capital crime is unconstitutional.
■ In House v. Bell, 126 S. Ct. 2064 (2006), you were one of three Justices who dissented from the decision of the Court to permit a death row inmate to proceed on his federal habeas corpus petition where newly discovered evidence, including DNA evidence that directly contradicted the case the prosecution presented at the inmate's murder trial, indicated the inmate was innocent.
■ In Hudson v. Michigan, 126 S. Ct. 2159 (2006), you were part of the five-Justice majority which held that when police violate the Fourth Amendment by effecting no-knock entry into a home to serve a search warrant, the evidence obtained inside will now be admissible in court.
■ In Kansas v. Marsh, 126 S.Ct. 2516 (2006), you wrote the opinion for the five-Justice majority upholding a statute which permits a death sentence to be imposed where the mitigating factors and the aggravating factors are in a state of equipoise.
■ In U.S. v. Gonzalez-Lopez, 126 S.Ct. 2557 (2006), you joined three other Justices who dissented from the Court's decision that denying a criminal defendant's Sixth Amendment right to retain the counsel of his choice is always reversible error.
■ In Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, 126 S.Ct. 2749 (2006), you dissented from the Court's holding that the military commissions established by President Bush to try suspected terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay violated both the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Geneva Convention. In your judgment, the kangaroo court procedures permitted by those military commissions were perfectly legal.
Therefore, Justice Thomas,
I accuse you of being the most reactionary Supreme Court Justice since Justice McReynolds.
I accuse you of callousness to the rights of individuals and minorities.
I accuse you of itching to overrule some of the most important pro-human rights decisions ever decided by the Supreme Court.
I accuse you of being a rubber stamp for the police, a lapdog of prosecutors, and a sock puppet of prison wardens.
I accuse you of regarding yourself as more a foot-soldier in the war on drugs and crime than a judge sworn to protect the rights of all Americans.
I accuse you of giving judicial approval to lawlessness in law enforcement and to the use of illegal means to enforce the criminal laws.
I accuse you of adulating capital punishment and of being the Supreme Court Justice most likely to uphold a death sentence.
I accuse you of implacable hostility to the writ of habeas corpus and of being the Supreme Court Justice most likely to rule against a person seeking habeas relief.
I accuse you being the Supreme Court Justice most likely to vote against and even ridicule the legal claims of minority groups or prisoners seeking relief in your Court.
I accuse you of being the Supreme Court Justice most likely to rule against black criminal defendants and black prisoners.
I accuse you of being the first Supreme Court Justice to criticize, albeit indirectly, the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision.
I accuse you of being the Supreme Court Justice most likely to rule against a black or minority person raising a civil rights claim or a claim based on the Voting Rights Act.
I accuse you of an appalling lack of sympathy for the poor, the oppressed, and the powerless.
I accuse you of being a right-wing extremist masquerading as an neutral magistrate.
I accuse you of deciding cases, not on the basis of the law or the facts or precedents, but based on your extreme right-wing views.
I accuse you of behaving on the Supreme Court as though the platform of your political party was the nation's constitution.
I accuse you of having been deceptive and evasive at your judicial confirmation hearings so that you could acquire the power you now utilize to subvert human rights protections.
Finally, sir, I accuse you of being a cruel judge in the tradition of Nicholas Eymeric, Conrad of Marburg, and George Jeffreys.
In making these accusations, sir, I have two goals. First, I hope to make as many Americans as possible aware of your lamentable judicial voting record and the inhumane philosophy underlying it. Second, I hope, I pray, that somehow I can assist in transforming you into a friend of liberty. Right-wing justice, you must understand, is not justice.
Sir, I beseech you to change direction and follow the path of the beloved Justice Thurgood Marshall. Stop exalting state power; cease attempting to reverse the historical trend of judicially expanding human rights; and jettison the social darwinism that makes you coldly indifferent to the plight of minorities, the economically disadvantaged, and the politically weak when their basic rights are trampled upon.
Please, sir, leave the right-wing darkness and emerge into the liberal daylight. The cause of liberty, justice, rights, and freedom beckons you. Shake off your anti-humanitarian attitudes, sir, so that posterity will bless not curse you, and so that among future generations your name will be revered rather than infamous!

Adds Online Technology and Fulfillment Platform to Accelerate Growth Into eCommerce Channel and New Markets
Vitacost.com Shareholders to Receive $8.00 Per Share in Cash
CINCINNATI and BOCA RATON, Fla., July 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) and Vitacost.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: VITC), a leading online retailer of healthy living products, today announced a definitive merger agreement under which Kroger will purchase all outstanding shares of Vitacost.com for $8.00 per share in cash, or approximately $280 million.
The purchase price represents a premium of 51% to Vitacost.com's closing share price on Feb. 19, 2014, the day before a major Vitacost.com shareholder publicly asked the company to evaluate strategic alternatives. The terms of the agreement were unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Kroger will commence a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Vitacost.com common stock. Any shares of Vitacost.com common stock not acquired in the tender offer promptly will be acquired by Kroger in a subsequent merger. The tender offer and merger are subject to Vitacost.com stockholders tendering at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Vitacost.com common stock in the tender offer, certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is not subject to any financing condition. Holders of approximately 26.2% of the outstanding shares of Vitacost.com common stock have agreed to support the transaction and tender their shares in the tender offer. The transaction is expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 2014.
Vitacost.com brings to Kroger its strong position as one of the largest pure eCommerce companies in the nutrition and healthy living market, a team with extensive eCommerce experience, and a substantial platform that includes technology and ship-to-home fulfillment centers to serve customers in all 50 states and internationally. Vitacost.com offers more than 45,000 products including vitamins, minerals, herbs, supplements, sports nutrition, beauty care products and natural and organic foods to approximately 2.3 million active customers. The company has more than 800 associates and operates distribution centers in Lexington, NC and Las Vegas, NV, and a customer service center in Lexington, NC.
"We are delighted to welcome Vitacost.com to the Kroger family," said Rodney McMullen, Kroger's chief executive officer. "Vitacost.com's talented team has built an exceptional online retail destination in the growing nutrition and wellness market, with an enviable technology and fulfillment infrastructure. This merger is in line with our growth strategy to enter new markets and new channels, and – along with Harris Teeter's online order and pick up service – accelerates our efforts to provide customers with even more ways to shop. Vitacost.com's core focus on healthy living products is complementary to our fast-growing natural foods business, and we intend to grow Vitacost.com's strong position in the online nutrition market. At the same time, we will build on Vitacost.com's eCommerce platform by integrating it with our existing digital offerings to create exciting new levels of personalization and convenience for our customers."
"We are excited to join such a tremendous organization and believe this will be an outstanding partnership," stated Jeffrey Horowitz, Chief Executive Officer of Vitacost.com. "This transaction represents a significant premium for our shareholders and the company will benefit by leveraging Kroger's scale and resources to further drive the online healthy living industry to new heights."
Operational Highlights
Vitacost.com's platform is highly complementary to Kroger's existing businesses and enhances the company's growth strategy.
Vitacost.com's leadership in nutrition and wellness products, including its proprietary brands, complements Kroger's already fast-growing natural foods business and Simple Truth Organic and Simple Truth corporate brand offering.
The company's eCommerce platform will enable Kroger to serve customers through ship-to-home orders in all 50 states, including 16 states that are currently not served by Kroger supermarkets, expanding Kroger's reach into new US markets as well as internationally. Vitacost.com's website and mobile app offer robust product information, rich content including recipes, videos and customer reviews, and "Set & Save" subscriptions for thousands of items.
Building on Vitacost.com's technology and fulfillment platform and linking it to Kroger's existing digital capabilities will accelerate Kroger's omnichannel strategy. Millions of customers already plan their shopping online using Kroger's cloud-based shopping list and weekly ad through the company's mobile apps and Kroger.com, and more than one billion digital coupons have been downloaded since 2009. Kroger offers an order online, deliver-to-home service in its King Soopers division in Denver, and continues to learn from Harris Teeter's successful Express Lane model, which offers customers the ability to order online and pick up at their local store in 154 locations. With Vitacost.com, Kroger will offer customers the convenience to order online and ship to their door with an expanded assortment online.
Following closing, Vitacost.com will operate as a subsidiary of The Kroger Co. and continue to operate its facilities in Boca Raton, FL., Lexington N.C. and Las Vegas NV.
Financial Highlights
Kroger will finance the transaction with debt. The company expects to achieve a 2.00 – 2.20 net debt to EBITDA ratio by mid-to-late 2015. Kroger is committed to managing its free cash flow to achieve this goal in order to maintain its current investment grade credit rating.
The company also confirmed its net earnings per diluted share growth guidance range of $3.19 to $3.27 for fiscal 2014. Kroger expects to maintain its current long-term net earnings per diluted share growth rate of 8 – 11%, plus a growing dividend.
Vitacost.com reported annual revenue of $382.7 million in fiscal 2013. Vitacost.com reported approximately 2.3 million total active customers as of the end of its first quarter of fiscal 2014, which ended March 31, and reported shipping 1.5 million orders.
Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP is acting as legal advisor to Kroger. Jefferies LLC is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Vitacost.com. Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati is acting as legal advisor to Vitacost.com.
Conference Call Today
Kroger chief financial officer Mike Schlotman will host a conference call for analysts and investors today, July 2, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. (ET) to discuss this announcement in further detail.

KIAMS Ranked 26th In Careers 360 Survey
Kirloskar Institute of Advanced management Studies (KIAMS) landed a respectable 26th spot in Careers 360's recent ranking study.
Pune (I-Newswire) January 9, 2013 - Kirloskar Institute of Advanced management Studies (KIAMS) landed a respectable 26th spot in Careers 360's recent ranking study. This year, the magazine fine-tuned its methodology to arrive at the 12 most important parameters to rank B-Schools and looked at the latest mandatory disclosures made available by eligible B-Schools on their websites.
A questionnaire was mailed to more than 2,000 schools followed by verification and scrutiny of the submitted data. New features added to this year's survey included a first-ever alumni ranking of B-Schools and an independent research output ranking. The quality of life for students, the quality of faculty, student to faculty ratio, industry and global exposure, research faculty, research output and placements were all factors included in the survey.
Getting input from alumni as to their experience at KIAMS undoubtedly helped solidify the institute's rank. Nagesh Bhat, Principal, Shree Guru Sudhindra BBA BCA College was a member of the first batch at KIAMS.
�"KIAMS is probably the only B-School, in the country to have a full-fledged rural festival - Pragati,�? he says. �"I had the opportunity of learning from some of the most illustrious minds in the business education segment.�?
Nagesh says in terms of infrastructure - especially the hostel facilities - no B - School in the country comes close to KIAMS and he believes that it deserves to be acknowledged as one of the best B-schoolsof the country.
Another alumnus, Ashutosh Tiwary who heads sales, as the regional business manager with a business consulting firm attributes his rise in the corporate world completely to KIAMS. â€?"It was like a dream,â€?? he says. â€?"What impressed me about KIAMS were the facilities. The teacher-to-student ratio was fantastic. The hostel was as good as can possibly be, having been originally prepared for an executive MBA program. To top it all, when I realised that the â€?œK' in KIAMS, stood for the Kirloskar brand, I knew this was the only B-School for me.â€??
Current students also have some high praise for KIAMS.
�"There is so much happening here in the field of academics and extracurricular activities that you sometimes find yourself gasping for breath. But now I seem to have developed the stamina and I am really enjoying it,�? says Pulkit Agarwal. She believes KIAMS is focused on imparting quality education to students and the whole curriculum is designed to make students industry-ready from day one and goes on to praise the experienced faculty, who she says are always ready to address specific problems and queries students.
As Director Gopal Iyengar says, KIAMS processes aim beyond delivering good education. �"The invitation to the student is to master theory, but eschew being theoretical,�? he says. �"The individual is encouraged to explore with a sense of responsibility to find the potential that he or she wishes to convert to professional performance. The thinker is as valued as a doer; art co-exists with science. Our association with the industrial house of Kirloskar facilitates an easy two-way osmosis between concept and application.�?

Two homes were badly damaged and seven people were forced to spend the night elsewhere as flames tore through two Westfield homes Wednesday night.
The first one broke out on Notre Dame and Elm streets, where four people were forced from their home. Another, just a short time later, started on Pleasant Street.
Westfield Fire Chief Mary Regan says the wind is making their jobs much harder.
"The wind has really been a problem, pushing the fire through the house," she said.
When firefighters first got to 45 Pleasant St., it wasn't even worth risking sending them inside.
"This fire here was so intense when they first arrived on scene they tried to make an inside attack, but the floor was compromised where they were trying to go in so we had to pull people out for a defensive attack," Regan said.
Firefighters spent much of the evening attacking flames from the outside.
Thick smoke blanketed much of the neighborhood, drawing in a crowd. Neighbors say it's tough to watch another's home go up in flames.
"We live down the street so we came by just to make sure everyone was all right. We hope no one was inside," said Rafael Ayalah, who lives down the street.
There were no injuries reported in either of the fires.
The state fire marshal is investigating the cause of both of them.

The New Orleans Hornets need Chris Paul so badly that he probably needs to play the entire game for them to have a chance. Case-in point: Paul played 40 minutes Tuesday night, but he needed to take a three-minute break at the beginning of the fourth quarter because he was gassed. The game was starting to slip away even before he went out, but by the time he got back in, the Hornets had a deficit they couldn't overcome.
In the end, Paul was outstanding of course. How many players can drop 20 points and 12 assists and have it be only their third-best game of a five-game series? But outstanding isn't enough to counteract a team that lacks talent and a frontcourt that got completely dominated. Paul didn't have a triple-double; therefore, his team lost.
Obviously, Paul can't will Emeka Okafor to actually grab a rebound, nor can he cause Carl Landry to grow three inches. Nothing that happened is Chris Paul's fault. But it is still interesting that he didn't play the entire second half. The playoffs have longer and more frequent timeouts, and there are no back-to-back games. The games may be more intense, but there's also more time to recover from them. And yet, Paul still had to sit out three minutes during a time when the game was starting to slip away.
I don't know whether to pin that on Paul or Monty Williams. Paul did seem a bit tired when coming to the bench, but Williams probably could have given him a breather by calling a timeout. It was probably a bit of both. All I know is that the Hornets have no chance when Paul is merely good or when he merely plays 40 minutes a game. It's unfair, but it's how it is.
