Dying Father Films Dance with Daughter for Her Future Wedding Day
Dr. James Wolf has been given three months to live, suffering from terminal pancreatic cancer. A father, he told The Today Show, "There are a lot of things that I would've liked the girls to experience with me being there. And I'm not going to be there." So recently, he and his 25-year-old daughter invited guests, rented a limo (which was donated) and had the moment they'd both always waited for: a father/daughter wedding reception dance. Even though Rachel isn't getting married, she wore a wedding dress so that her and her dad could still experience the special moment. A crowd of friends and family all also dressed up and watched as the two slow danced to Steven Curtis Chapman's "Cinderella." The dance was even filmed so it can played one day at Rachel's actual wedding. Dr. Wolf later said, "It's the relationships that you build over the years that is the most important thing in life. Everything else is just an illusion" …

Hotel Royal Promenade des Anglais
The Grand Hotel Le Florence is ideally located right across from the Nice Etoile shopping center.
Score from 748 reviews Very good
This 3-star hotel is in the heart of Nice, in a pedestrian area just in front of Nice Etoile shopping center. Promenade des Anglais and the beach are a 10-minute walk away.
Score from 447 reviews Very good
In central Nice, this hotel is on Avenue Jean Medecin Nice's main shopping street, which leads to Place Massena.
Score from 753 reviews Very good
In central Nice, a 5-minute walk from the beach and the Old Town, the Hotel Aston La Scala features a roof-top terrace with an outdoor pool, bar and panoramic views.
Score from 750 reviews Very good
location room size wardrobe had enough hangers separate bathroom/toilet balcony to sit and enjoy coffee new fluffy towels easy to use free deposit box
two flights of steps up to reception
Short walking distance to old town and promenade, convenient location for airport bus, clean and cozy, fridge, safe, coffee and tea making facilities in the room. Very friendly staff. Wi-Fi worked perfectly. I would definitely stay there again. Good value for money, but it was off season.
The double bed was quite small in the room we got (140cm?) and it felt a bit crowded. The walls are quite thin and our neighbors were a bit noisy.
Breakfast excellent with plenty of choice and eat as much as you liked. Bed so comfortable we slept soundly, even on the first night which is unusual for us. Staff most helpful and accomodating
2 long flights of stairs to the ist floor where reception was. It could be a little noisy where our room was situated
Generally a good friendly hotel.
Breakfast supplies not always consistent. No lift from ground floor up to reception.(two flights of stairs).
central to old town, prom, public transport, park. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room very clean and comfortable.
nothing really..street noise early in the morning.
The owner was quite knowledgable and nice. Hotel well placed in City
The night personnel needs to study up on location of the airport bus and how to use the credit card machine. He was nice but not helpful.
Reservation Service Friendliness Location Room Breakfast Luggage storage possibility
Cleanliness Bathroom Shower (mildew) Smell at entrance area
Great location close to main shopping and beach.
Hotel is on 1st floor (US/CAN 2nd floor) but there is no elevator. So if you have a lot of luggage it's not much fun on arrival!
Location Staff
No elevator. Paper tin walls. Lousy mattress.
It is always warming after a plane flight to be given a friendly welcome The staff were very helpful and the breakfasts tasty and varied.
Convenient location.
Street noise excessive.
Central location - so close to the old town, main shopping streets Promenade des Anglais, etc. Helpful reception staff. Spacious, clean bedroom. An American couple checked in and asked if there was an ice machine. The receptionist offered to bring ice in a bucket whenever they were ready for it.
Our bedroom would have benefited from a lick off paint.
great location close to shops and the park and beach friendly staff, really helpful Bathroom is a large size with a bath and over bath shower
The Hotel staff were very friendly and the hotel is located right in the centre of Nice which placed everything within easy walking distance. This Hotel is perfect for anyone who did not drive to Nice
You can NOT park a car at the hotel even just to unload. The road edge has metal barriers and the carriage way adjacent to the Hotel is a bus lane. You have to park on a side road (almost impossible) We parked in No parking zone to check in. The Hotel has a car park which is excellent and secure - but you have to have checked in to use it and this is extremely difficult for the reasons stated.
Fantastic staff really helpful , excellent location 5 mins walk to old town , 7 mins to beach , very clean , rooms very good and price could not be faulted . I would have no hesitation in staying next time , thanks again to the fab staff :)
The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The Wifi worked all the time and we did not have to keep logging in. Computers were available - a great help when needing to send longer emails. The room was large and everything worked as it should. Although not overlooking the beach, a very central location for the old town and about 10 minutes from the beach.
Nice and friendly personal, room was clean, location is very comfortable
Location, stuff, bedding
Excluded breakfast
Stuff was nice, location
This has an amazing location, easy walk to the surrounding areas (beach, markets, shops and the kids park). Didn't go for breakfast but it's offered for 10 euros a person which isn't bad.
No lift so we had to carry our luggage up several stairs. May be difficult if your not young or physically able. They only have 3 parking stalls which you need to book in advance but there is nowhere for you pullover on the street to unload your bags. The surrounding roads are one way and a pain (though that's hardly the hotels fault, just something to take note of)
The location cant be better! Very close to main shopping streets, place Massena, many bus stops and a short walk to the beaches. The great advantage of the hotel is a kettle and a fridge in the room. Also very pleasant to find out that tea bags, coffee, sugar, small buscuits are refilled every day. I liked everything and will definitely come back!
Evth was great!
During the week the people manning the reception desk were very friendly and helpful.
On the weekend, the man at the desk was going to book me a car, to go to Villefranche-Sur-Mer, at twice the cost, when I asked him to call me a taxi. When I questioned him, he reluctantly called a taxi but told me it would be more money…not!
We found the staff to be very pleasant, helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. The location of the hotel is excellent, as it is very close to the old town and also a short walk to an array of restaurants and also the beach.
Having to drag luggage up the stairs to the reception on the 1st floor.
Staff kindness Central location Spacious and calm room with double doors
Very expensive No lift no extra pillows Old style Not really a 3 stars hotel

'Syria's chemical weapons are ready for use'
Scud Missile311.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
Syria's chemical weapons could be used at "a moment's notice" and the international community should not accept any assurances from Syrian officials that they will not be used, US House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said on Wednesday.US and other Western officials recently issued sharp warnings to Syrian President Bashar Assad not to deploy chemical weapons. Syria called those warnings a "pretext for intervention" in the civil war.Rogers, a Republican, told Reuters in an interview that the Syrian government's activities related to chemical weapons were a shift in posture and a major concern."I believe that they have put elements of their chemical weapons program in a condition of which they could be used at a moment's notice, which is very different from before," Rogers said."And some notion that they have promised not to use them, I don't think the international community...should take that on face value," he said."This is a regime that's getting more desperate by the day. They have affirmatively put elements of their chemical weapon program in a position for use, that is something that we should all be concerned about."His comments came amid reports that Assad's forces had fired Soviet-era Scud ballistic missiles against rebels in a significant escalation of the nearly two-year-old conflict that has already killed more than 40,000 civilians.The alleged use of Scud-style weapons and the changed posture on chemical weapons suggests desperation on the part of Assad's government, Rogers said.He added that "It would not be unusual for a regime that possesses some fairly sophisticated weapons systems in these last, I argue days and months, or days and weeks, of a pretty desperate regime to use the weapons at its disposal."So Scuds, and I make the next leap of chemical weapons, I think is of real concern.""Friends of Syria" group meets in Morocco to discuss uprisingOn Wednesday, Western and Arab nations sympathetic to Syria's uprising against Assad gave full political recognition to the opposition, reflecting a hardening consensus that the 20-month-old uprising might be nearing a tipping point.Meeting in the Moroccan city of Marrakech as rebels battled Assad's troops on the outskirts of his Damascus power base - and shortly before the capital was rocked by a huge explosion - the "Friends of Syria" group called on Assad to step aside.But tensions between the United States and the Syrian opposition coalition surfaced at the same meeting when its leader criticized Washington's designation of the Islamist Jabhat al-Nusra rebel brigade as a terrorist organization.Hours earlier, US President Barack Obama announced Washington would recognize the coalition of opposition groups, led by Sunni Muslim cleric Mouaz Alkhatib, as Syria's legitimate representative, joining France, Britain, Turkey and Gulf states."Participants acknowledge the National Coalition as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people and the umbrella organization under which the Syrian opposition are gathering," said the Marrakech declaration after a meeting attended by 130 ministers and officials.The gathering brought together Western and Arab nations opposed to Assad, whose family has ruled Syria for 42 years. But it excluded Russia, China and Iran, which have backed Assad or blocked efforts to tighten international pressure on him."Bashar Assad has lost legitimacy and should stand aside to allow a sustainable political transition," said the text.Referring to Western reports suggesting Assad might use chemical and biological weapons, the text said "any use of chemical weapons in Syria would be abhorrent and that this would draw a serious response from the international community".Qatar reinforced that message after the meeting, urging Assad to take
the "brave decision" to step down, while Britain called on him to end a
war it said he could not win.Participants announced the creation of a relief fund "to support the Syrian people", calling on states and organizations to make contributions to the fund.Western officials are due to meet commanders of a newly formed rebel military command in Turkey next week.Syria's state news agency SANA said Obama's recognition of the political opposition, which coincided with Washington's designation of the radical Islamist Jabhat al-Nusra group, part of the rebel force against Assad, as a terrorist organization "proves American hypocrisy".Opposition calls on US to reconsider terrorist group designationCoalition leader Alkhatib urged the United States to reconsider its decision to designate the militant Islamist Jabhat al-Nusra as a terrorist group."The decision to consider a party that is fighting the regime as a terrorist party needs to be reviewed," he said."We might disagree with some parties and their ideas and their political and ideological vision. But we affirm that all the guns of the rebels are aimed at overthrowing the tyrannical criminal regime."Alkhatib called on Syria's Alawite minority to launch a campaign of civil disobedience against Assad, an Alawite facing a mainly Sunni Muslim uprising against his rule.Fighting is moving closer to Assad's residence in the center of Damascus, and early on Wednesday government forces fired artillery and rockets at southwestern suburbs of the capital adjacent to the Mezzeh military airport, activists said.State television reported an explosion at the gate of the Interior Ministry in Damascus. The ministry is in Kafar Souseh, an area contested by rebels and forces loyal to Assad. A resident reported sirens and shooting after a "huge explosion."SANA said on Wednesday that "terrorists" detonated two bombs in the Damascus district of Jaramana, killing one person and wounding five, and another two bombs behind the Justice Ministry in Damascus, wounding one person.In central Syria, an attack on a village killed or injured as many as 200 members of Assad's Alawite minority sect, activists said, but it was unclear who was behind the assault.The rebels now hold a near continuous arc of territory from the east to the southwest of the capital. With conditions deteriorating, Damascus residents face power and food crises.

Rush's Peart shows off comedic chops as drum-playing watermelon seed in Aqua Teen

"I'm a cheap device for exposition," Neil Peart says over the phone from California, establishing two things straightaway. One: he knows his function in his role in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie. Two: He's a comedy buff, who goes on to explain that he's quoting an old SCTV parody of Fantasy Island.
Absurd decisions typify the Aqua Teen creators – whose show does, after all, star a milkshake and packet of french fries as they quibble about disputes both mundane and cosmic. So when looking for big names to lend a voice to their show, they asked not for an animation veteran but instead for the drummer for Rush.
"We get lots of offers over the transom, of course – lots of things that someone would like us to be involved in, or to buy from them," says Peart, clearly in a lighthearted mood. But when it came to this movie, "Somebody in the office had an open mind."
Comedy has a strong role in the road life of Rush – Peart can recount scenes from Mel Brooks films like High Anxiety from memory as well as SCTV, "having seen them one million times on the tour bus." (Bandmate Geddy Lee, don't forget, assisted on Bob and Doug McKenzie's hit 1981 single "Take Off.") So the 54-year-old skin-pounder was amused by the prospect of portraying a slow-witted henchman of antagonist Walter Melon – especially since voiceover work gets close to fulfilling an old dream.
"It's always been an ambition of mine to be a voice-over guy for nature shows." To prove it, he offers up his second SCTV reference, solemnly intoning, "A terrestrial day-active animal, the woodchuck hibernates in snowy climes" – a precise quote from John Candy's dry parody of Hinterland Who's Who.
Peart, now preparing to promote Rush's new CD Snakes and Arrows, out May 1, was sold on the script when he reached the moment when "Walter Melon complains, `Do I have to explain everything to you?' And my line is, `Um, yes.'" But his character is no mere underling – he's a watermelon seed who plays the drums, and he gets to perform a supernatural ritual called the Drum Solo of Life.
That's a matter close to Peart's heart, he says, "given the malignant eye that's been cast on drum solos. Nobody does them any more, as though people haven't been cheering for, and dancing to, drum solos for almost a hundred years. My solo (in Rush shows) is nine minutes long, so I just gave them a bunch of 30-second clips to choose from that sounded spiritual."

Centre for Myanmar nationals to open in M'sia next month
Publication Date : 14-05-2014
Putrajaya and Naypyidaw have agreed to work together in documenting Myanmar nationals living illegally in Malaysia so that they can either return home or be employed, says Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
He said a dedicated one-stop centre would be opened next month to process qualified Myanmar nationals to obtain work permits.
Under the new working arrangement, the one-stop centre would also assist those who want to return to their country with their documentation, he said, adding that there is a large number of Myanmar nationals who want to go home.
Ahmad Zahid said co-operation between the two governments would solve the problem of Myanmar illegals being held at immigration depots for long periods.
There are some 12,000 Myanmar nationals currently being held and they remain in detention, some for as long as six months, as they face difficulties in getting their authorities to issue documents.
"We are pleased to have come to an agreement on this matter with the Myanmar government.
"While Malaysia is aware of the lack of workers in certain sectors and the need to make humanitarian considerations, we also must not compromise on our security," he told the Malaysian media.
Ahmad Zahid and Myanmar Labour, Employment and Social Security Minister U Aye Myint had earlier witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Diamond Palace Services Co Ltd and Bukit Megah Sdn Bhd.
The MoU was for a government-to-government programme on co-operation in biometric, registration, legalisation and deportation of undocumented Myanmar workers in Malaysia.
According to Home Ministry figures, there are about 144,000 Myanmar nationals working either legally or illegally, and another 120,000 people are United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees card holders.
Bukit Megah executive chairman Abdul Halim Suleiman said one-stop centres would be opened in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Johor and Penang, adding that there were already prospective employers for the Myanmar workers once they are legalised.

Makeshift opener Brad Sutherland made 92 as Oxford returned to winning ways with a seven -run last-over home victory against second-placed Burnham in a thrilling Division 1 contest.
Mark Beer struck with the second ball of the final over to dimiss the visitors for 184 in reply to Oxford's total of 191-7, in a contest reduced by two overs because of rain.
This result came as a relief for depleted Oxford, who had suffered three successive defeats.
Choosing to bat first on a used pitch, Oxford started with a opening stand of 68 betweenVish Perera and Sutherland, who was promoted to open the batting.
Sutherland went on to make a league best 92 of 145 balls with seven fours and a six.
Against quality spin bowling, Oxford's middle-order failed to push on, only Shami Mendis getting to grips with the turning pitch.
However, Burnham's target of 192 in 55 overs was always going to be a tricky one.
Young Freddie Simon struck in his second over, athletically diving to catch Raja Rehman off his own bowling.
Beer then struck twice to remove Harveer Gandam and Rizwan Nadeem.
Pakistan Twenty20 international Awais Zia led the recovery with an elegant 79 from 100 balls, but with Mendis and Ian Evans bowling tightly,wickets fell at the other end.
With the match in the balance, Zia was dismissed by debutant Simon with the score at 159-8 Karan Kumar almost got the visitors over the line, scoring 37 before being last out in the final over, caught at long off by Ian Crosby.

Background. Critical thinking is frequently cited as a desirable professional attribute and a highly valued educational outcome. Despite the abundance of literature on the subject, validation of the critical thinking construct in different cultural populations is under-researched.
Aim. The purpose of this study was to compare the critical thinking dispositions of Hong Kong Chinese and Australian nursing students.
Design. A cross-sectional design was used with two groups of nursing students in two universities, one in Hong Kong and the other in Australia. Critical thinking disposition was measured using the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI).
Results. Significant differences were detected in critical thinking disposition between the two groups of students (P < 0·05), with the Hong Kong Chinese students failing to show a positive disposition toward critical thinking on the CCTDI total mean score, while the Australian students showed a positive disposition. Similarities and differences were also noted between the groups in CCTDI subscale mean scores.
Conclusion. The findings contribute to knowledge of critical thinking by demonstrating differences and similarities between Hong Kong Chinese and Australian nursing students. The study raises questions about the effects of institutional, educational, professional and cultural factors on the disposition to think critically.

Gearing Up For Confrontation: NATOs second-in-command says Russia now an ENEMY, not a partner
2014 05 02
NATO Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow now says that the allied group has been compelled to treat Russia as more of an enemy than a partner, according to an Associated Press report published Thursday.
The 61-year-old former United States ambassador to Russia reportedly told journalists this week that Moscows role in the ongoing crisis in Ukraine has forced NATO to reconsider the alliances opinion on Russia, and that additional troops may soon be mobilized to the region as tensions worsen.
AP journalist Robert Burns wrote on Thursday that Vershbow said the Kremlins perceived part in the recent events in Ukraine marks a turning point in decades of effort by NATO to draw Moscow closer.
NATOs second-in-command reportedly told journalists that the alliance is now considering new measures meant to counter any future acts of aggression on the part of Russia aimed at partner nations, and soon could deploy a larger number of combat forces to Eastern Europe.
Journalists reporting for Civil.Ge wrote on Thursday that Vershbow told the audience at a panel discussion in Washington, DC one day earlier that NATO should deploy defensive assets to the region.
We need to step up our support for defense reforms and military modernization of Russias neighbors, and not just of Ukraine, but also Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Vershbow said, according to the Civil Georgia site.
NATO should think about upgrading joint exercises among partner nations, the site quoted Vershbow as saying during the event, while acknowledging that deploying forces to Georgia would be a controversial maneuver.
It is also important for the United States to show leadership to make sure that next steps that NATO will make, for example at the summit in September, will be adequate response to whats happening in Ukraine, the Georgian Defense Minister Irakli Alasania said during the discussion.
The West should now seize the opportunity and create the reality on the ground by accepting membership of aspirant countries, by putting purely defensive assets in aspirant countries and predominantly in Georgia, Alasania added. What is important now is to put some deterrent capabilities on the ground like air defense and anti-armor capabilities that will give us a chance to defend our freedom, because we know that if things go wrong at this point no one is coming to save us; weve seen that in 2008.

Amal Fashanu: 'I was getting ready to visit Elton John's studio when I learnt Justin Fashanu had died'

Reader comments
I don't know where you got the information from that Justin's brother John didn't think he was gay. I saw a documentary featuring Amal where she interviewed her father who seemed to accept that his late brother was gay.
Such a shame her father and Brian Clough were so bigoted.
Poor Amal.
It must be difficult knowing that her father is a stupid bigot.
Funny that Justin is ignored as the first footballer to come out
I know. Some people especially in the media have short memories. The funny thing is James, some people (again in the media) seem to remember when England last won the World Cup but not who the first openly gay footballer was.
Such a shame – Amal is such a decent human being and her dad is an ostrich
I've wondered whether his refusal to come to terms with Justin's sexuality is actually related to John's ongoing business interests in Nigeria or whether he really is that stupid.

The staff, from valet to the front desk to housekeeping, were very friendly, prompt, and attentive. It was an excellent stay--the way customer service should be.
It's an excellent location for DFW Airport. It gets you away from the stereotypical airport hotel 'row', yet close enough to be convenient for catching flights.

Amazon Trades For 370 Years Of Earnings, Jack Ma Thinks It Might Not Be Here In 20Paulo Santos • Today, 4:27 PM • 29 Comments
- Jack Ma said that the test of truth, between Alibaba and Amazon.com, is who will be left standing in 20 years.
- It turns out that there's good reason for Jack Ma to have said such words.
- If we look at Amazon.com in direct competition with Alibaba, there's reason to believe we're on a path where Amazon.com might not survive. I show specifically why this is so.
- Moreover, while the outcome is still too distant to time, the path we're in is consistent with that possible outcome.
Amazon.com Won't Back Down, And Neither Should Its ShareholdersDana Blankenhorn • Yesterday, 10:07 AM • 43 Comments
- Christmas is looking jolly for both Amazon and its competitors.
- Amazon continues to beat Google, Microsoft and everyone else in the cloud.
- Amazon is doubling down on products that give it control over users' homes.
Would Amazon Benefit From A More Focused Approach?Healthy Appreciation • Tue, Nov. 18 • 45 Comments
- Amazon's wide array of technology and program offerings are hard to keep track of.
- The company has a successful history of reinventing itself.
- If Amazon is going to succeed in the long run, it needs to have more transparency and better focus.
Update: Amazon Ends Dispute With Hachette; The Deal Is The Opposite Of My PredictionsColoradoWealthManagementFund • Tue, Nov. 18 • 25 Comments
- Under the terms of the new contract, Hachette will have strong pricing power on its e-books.
- The deal is structured to provide incentives to Hachette to offer lower prices.
- Authors will still receive their royalty on the same percentages.
- The result surprises me. I had expected Amazon to maintain the battle until Hachette relented.
- I believe this deal will be positive for both sides over the long haul, but not as positive for Amazon as the deal I had expected.
Amazon Declares War On VMwareGregory Ness • Sat, Nov. 15 • 45 Comments
- At re:Invent 2014 Amazon AWS launched a full assault on enterprise IT.

Amazon On Watch After Options ActivityOrange Peel Investments • Sat, Nov. 15 • 32 Comments
- The options market can be a great tool to telegraph stock moves.
- This past week one large trader saw success in Wal-Mart calls.
- Amazon is the next name on the watch list for Monday.
Amazon Is Here To Spread Some Holiday CheerRavi Bala • Fri, Nov. 14 • 32 Comments
- Amazon's fundamentals are typically the strongest during fourth quarter, which results in a favorable seasonality effect for its stock price.
- There is a 69% chance that you will profit in Q4 if you invest your money during the entire period based on historical evidence.
- If you invested during the entire fourth quarters since 2001, you would have close to a 400% return on your investment.
Why Amazon At $300 Is Like Apple At $400Dana Blankenhorn • Tue, Nov. 11 • 202 Comments
- Amazon is prioritizing growth over profits, which is not popular right now.
- At its present run rate, Amazon is still smaller than many big retailers, like Costco and Kroger.
- Amazon is competing on many fronts, facing pushback on some, even losing on others.
- Amazon has immense growth opportunities before it, and unique strengths with which to capitalize.
Into The Bubble Basket With Amazon: Understanding Einhorn's ShortAndrew Palmer • Thu, Nov. 6 • 43 Comments
- David Einhorn is likely to be short Amazon.
- Amazon's stock is a risky investment as a long position.
- Amazon's stock is also a risky short, and Einhorn is probably not taking a very sizable short position.
Rushing Toward The Cloud CrashDana Blankenhorn • Thu, Nov. 6 • 92 Comments
- Cloud is growing, but not enough to replace revenues from markets it replaces.
- A $1 billion capital budget is just an ante in the game.
- Huge companies are going to be squeezed out and no one will make money for some time.
Amazon: No Place To Go But Down?Weighing Machine • Sun, Nov. 2 • 54 Comments
- While Amazon shares initially plunged following its disappointing fourth quarter guidance, shares have since rebounded and are now within 3% of where they were trading prior to the announcement.
- With growth slowing to less than 20% per year, Amazon is at risk of losing its core growth-oriented investor base.
- Similarly, with shares trading at 300x trailing 12 month operating profit, Amazon is far too expensive to attract many value investors.
- While shares have long been expensive on any 'traditional' metric, I believe the deceleration in growth without meaningfully increased profitability is the catalyst for a fall in Amazon shares.
- Author estimates shares could decline 50-70%.
Amazon Getting Lost In The Jungle: Investors Losing Track As WellDon Dion • Sun, Nov. 2 • 23 Comments
- AMZN stock fell ~8% following its most recent (poor) results; the stock is down over 20% YTD.
- Investors could be getting discouraged after repeated losses in key areas of business.
- Despite e-commerce growth, projected holiday spending is lower; and competition for Amazon's businesses is significant.
- We suggest investors consider holding off on AMZN, even at its relatively low price.
Could Amazon.com Have As Many As 1 Million Fire Phones Sitting In Storage?Paulo Santos • Thu, Oct. 30 • 156 Comments
- Previously, speculation had it that Amazon.com might have 230,000 to 330,000 Fire Phones in inventory.
- I show that this might be understated. That there might be up to 1,000,000 units in inventory.
- There are a few consequences from this.
A Quick Note On Why We're Avoiding AmazonOrange Peel Investments • Thu, Oct. 30 • 15 Comments
- Amazon, always in growth mode, is pushing a competitor to Apple TV and Chromecast.
- The company was recently hit after earnings.
- We think Amazon should be focused on the bottom line.
Update: Digging Deeper Than Just Amazon's Q3 EarningsMarshall Hargrave • Thu, Oct. 30 • 11 Comments
- AMZN missed consensus on the top and bottom lines.
- There were positives from the quarter that affirm our bullish thesis.
- We didn't see the selloff or weak quarter coming, but note that for a 20-year old company, it's run like a startup.
Can Amazon Deliver This Holiday Season?Healthy Appreciation • Thu, Oct. 30 • 15 Comments
- Amazon needs to achieve 20% growth in sales this year.
- Many factors will play a role this holiday season.
- Gas prices, seasonal hiring, a short holiday shopping season and pressure from competitors may all have an impact on Amazon's ability to deliver.
Update: Twitch Is Much Smaller Than ExpectedPaulo Santos • Wed, Oct. 29 • 89 Comments
- Back in August, I deemed the Twitch acquisition more irrelevant than the Fire Phone's troubles.
- To do this I included optimistic estimates for Twitch impact on revenues and earnings.
- As it turns out, we now have the real numbers for Twitch, and it looks much smaller than initially estimated.

Amazon.com, Inc. Discusses Q3 2013 Results (Webcast)Oct. 24, 2013
Sep. 15, 2011, 2:04 PMSpecial Offers Kindles will soon offer daily deals with vouchers that can be printed or used straight from the device, according to Amazon (AMZN +0.4%). TechCrunch calls AMZN's entry point into daily deals "logical," as it is aimed squarely in the face of a targeted well-read audience that may beat the shotgun approach of rivals. | Comment!
Sep. 14, 2011, 1:11 PMMore from IDC: The firm is also lifting its e-reader forecast for 2011 to 27M units from a prior 16.2M, and expects the Q4 arrival of sub-$100 models from leading vendors to boost demand. In a sharp reversal from Q1, IDC estimates Amazon (AMZN) led the market in Q2 with a 51.7% share, while Barnes & Noble (BKS) came in second with 21.2%. (previously) | Comment!
Sep. 13, 2011, 5:36 PMAmazon (AMZN) announces a comprehensive agreement with Hearst to become the largest third-party seller of Hearst's print magazine subscriptions, and will help develop the firm's e-commerce channel. It's a capitulation of sorts for Hearst, after the publisher directly challenged AMZN in the e-reader market in the past. | Comment!
Sep. 13, 2011, 2:57 PMTarget's (TGT +1.5%) website crashes as it launches a new Missoni fashion line of some 400 items in a partnership with the Italian luxury knitwear designer that feature the brand's signature zigzag stripes. Target recently took over running its website from Amazon (AMZN), and the Missoni initiative was its first since the change. | 1 Comment
Sep. 12, 2011, 9:51 AMIDC sees global Internet users increasing to 2.7B in 2015 from 2B in 2010, thanks in part to the growing adoption of mobile data services. Google (GOOG) can be expected to benefit from a 97% predicted increase in online ad revenue during this time, while Amazon (AMZN) should benefit from an expected 81% increase in B2C e-commerce spending. | Comment!
Sep. 12, 2011, 8:19 AMAmazon (AMZN) reportedly wants to offer a subscription service for older e-book titles, which, like Amazon's streaming video platform, would be available to customers of its $79/year Prime shipping service. However, some publishing execs are cool to the idea, fearing it will hurt the value of their content and strain relationships with retailers. (previously) | Comment!
Sep. 12, 2011, 8:06 AMAs e-reader sales from the likes of AMZN and BKS take off, many consumers are balking at the high e-book prices demanded by publishers, in spite of the higher gross margins they typically deliver. Nonetheless, publishing consultant Mike Shatzkin thinks the growth of self-publishing efforts will create price pressure over the long haul. | 1 Comment
Sep. 10, 2011, 1:58 AMAs part of a rush of bills ahead of a midnight deadline, California lawmakers give Amazon.com (AMZN) and other online retailers a reprieve from collecting sales taxes until next September - at which point the tax collections are in effect unless the retailers can get a national tax-collection system through Congress by next summer. | 5 Comments
Sep. 9, 2011, 1:09 PMA Taiwanese research institute estimates global e-reader shipments will grow 183% in 2011 to 34.8M units, and by another 46% in 2012 to over 50M units. E-reader demand has remained strong thanks in large part to the ability of AMZN, BKS, and other vendors to hit price points well below those of the iPad (AAPL) and other high-end tablets. | Comment!
Sep. 9, 2011, 7:52 AMNvidia (NVDA) CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, who recently forecast $1B in Tegra mobile CPU sales next year, claims tablets containing Nvidia's quad-core Kal-El chip will ship this year. This has raised speculation Kal-El will end up in an AMZN tablet, and suggests the chip will have a head start on QCOM's Krait, which won't ship in hardware until sometime next year. (previously) | Comment!
Sep. 8, 2011, 1:07 PMJ.P. Morgan's Mark Moskowitz is lifting his 2011 tablet forecast to 51.9M units from 46.9M, and expects the iPad (AAPL) to have a 70.9% share. Nonetheless, Mosokowitz is cutting his 2012 forecast to 72.4M units from 76.3M, due to the lack of a legit rival to Apple, though he think Amazon (AMZN) could prove a worthy challenger in time. (previously) | Comment!
Sep. 8, 2011, 8:38 AMAdam Selipsky, the VP of Amazon Web Services (AMZN), tells Reuters that the unit is profitable and will be for years to come. Although AWS accounts for only about 2% of Amazon's revenue, CEO Jeff Bezos has said it has the potential to be as big as the company's retail ops. | Comment!
Sep. 8, 2011, 8:19 AMAmazon (AMZN) reaches a tentative deal with Californian legislators that would enable it to postpone collecting sales taxes for another year. In exchange, the firm would stop attempting to overturn the new state law that covers the issue. However, Governor Jerry Brown's stance is unclear. | Comment!
Sep. 8, 2011, 8:14 AMH-P (HPQ) is entering the rapidly-growing IaaS cloud services market, selling computing and storage resources on a pay-as-you-go basis. Like rival DELL's similar announcement, the move will increase the competition faced by AMZN and RAX in cloud infrastructure services, though some think Amazon has what it takes to weather the storm. | 1 Comment
Sep. 7, 2011, 3:36 PMAmazon's (AMZN +1.4%) new website design "screams tablet," says PCWorld's Brennon Slattery. A sneak peek of the site shows a search bar tailored for a touchscreen, clickable icons, cleaner white borders and a paradigm shift towards services - instead of products. He write that Amazon is set to provide an "eco-system" similar to Apple's (AAPL +1.2%) lifestyle suite of products. | Comment!
Sep. 7, 2011, 3:18 PMNvidia (NVDA +8.2%) continues trading higher after issuing strong FY13 revenue guidance. Wells Fargo is lifting its estimates, and thinks Nvidia's guidance has positive implications for the PC demand environment. Meanwhile, Roth Capital expects the company's Tegra chips to power Amazon's (AMZN) upcoming Android tablets. Rival AMD is up 7.5%. | Comment!

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez a World Cup doubt after suffering knee injury in Mexico's draw with Nigeria
Hernandez was pessimistic over his injury after the match having collided with Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama
Jack de Menezes
Jack de Menezes is a digital sport reporter for The Independent, specialising in football, rugby union and motor racing.
Thursday 06 March 2014
Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez is hoping a knee injury picked up in Mexico's international draw with Nigeria will not affect his preparation for the 2014 World Cup finals.
Hernandez was forced off at the break after he collided with Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, with the 25-year-old set to undergo scans on the injury. The 57-time capped Mexican, who has scored a creditable 35 times on the international stage, will be hoping for good news with the World Cup on the horizon, but after the match his self-prognosis was not an optimistic one.
Speaking to Univision, Hernandez said: "I don't feel good, the [Nigerian] goalkeeper fell on top of me, I'll wait for the tests."
One positive came from Mexico's national team doctor Jose Vázquez, who confirmed that they have already ruled out ligament damage.
Speaking to ESPN Deportes, Vázquez said: "We have to wait to see how it evolves and to run the relevant tests.
"It's a blow, but we rule out the possibility of a knee ligament strain. There is only pain and there is no indication of instability in the knee."
The blow is unlikely to dent United manager Davd Moyes' plans for the season run-in too much though, with Hernandez seeing very little first team action having fallen behind Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck in the pecking order.

Martha Coakley fines National Grid $270K for Sandy-related pay problems
Send this to a friend
- Matthew L. Brown
- Reporter- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
State Attorney General Martha Coakley's office has fined National Grid $270,000 for wage and hours law violations stemming from paycheck glitches caused by Sandy.
Hundreds of National Grid employees still aren't getting their paychecks on time after the storm disrupted the utility company's system. As a result, employees are unable to make payments that are automatically deducted from paychecks, such as alimony, child support and college tuition, Coakley's office said.
National Grid initially said it would correct pay problems by Dec. 14. When that deadline passed without a fix for the problem, Coakley's office warned National Grid to have the wage problems sorted out by Dec. 21.
Still, Coakley's office says hundreds of National Grid employees are still unpaid after nine weeks of pay-related problems, including untimely payment of wages, inaccurate payroll records and a failure to pay overtime.
