ABSTRACT: Direct Policy Search (DPS) is a widely used tool for reinforcement learning; however, it is usually not suitable for handling high-dimensional constrained action spaces such as those arising in power system control (unit commitment problems). We propose Direct Value Search, an hybridization of DPS with Bellman decomposition techniques. We prove runtime properties, and apply the results to an energy management problem.9th French Meeting on Planning, Decision Making and Learning, Liège (Belgium); 05/2014
Conference Paper: Direct model predictive control[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Due to simplicity and convenience, Model Predictive Control, which consists in optimizing future decisions based on a pessimistic deterministic forecast of the random processes, is one of the main tools for stochastic control. Yet, it suffers from a large computation time, unless the tactical horizon (i.e. the number of future time steps included in the optimization) is strongly reduced, and lack of real stochasticity handling. We here propose a combination between Model Predictive Control and Direct Policy Search.European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning (ESANN), Bruges, Belgique; 04/2014

ABSTRACT: Motivated by applications in energy management, this paper presents the Multi-Armed Risk-Aware Bandit (MARAB) algorithm. With the goal of limiting the exploration of risky arms, MARAB takes as arm quality its conditional value at risk. When the user-supplied risk level goes to 0, the arm quality tends toward the essential infimum of the arm distribution density, and MARAB tends toward the MIN multi-armed bandit algorithm, aimed at the arm with maximal minimal value. As a first contribution, this paper presents a theoretical analysis of the MIN algorithm under mild assumptions, establishing its robustness comparatively to UCB. The analysis is supported by extensive experimental validation of MIN and MARAB compared to UCB and state-of-art risk-aware MAB algorithms on artificial and real-world problems.01/2014;
Conference Paper: Linear Convergence of Evolution Strategies with Derandomized Sampling Beyond Quasi-Convex Functions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We study the linear convergence of a simple evolutionary algorithm on non quasi-convex functions on continuous domains. Assumptions include an assumption on the sampling performed by the evolutionary algorithm (supposed to cover efficiently the neighborhood of the current search point), the conditioning of the objective function (so that the probability of improvement is not too low at each time step, given a correct step size), and the unicity of the optimum.EA - 11th Biennal International Conference on Artificial Evolution - 2013, Bordeaux, France; 10/2013
Conference Paper: Noisy optimization complexity under locality assumption[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In spite of various recent publications on the subject, there are still gaps between upper and lower bounds in evolutionary optimization for noisy objective function. In this paper we reduce the gap, and get tight bounds within logarithmic factors in the case of small noise and no long-distance influence on the objective function.Proceedings of the twelfth workshop on Foundations of genetic algorithms XII; 01/2013
Conference Paper: T2FML-based adaptive assessment system for computer game of Go[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Go game is one game with a long history. Two players alternatively play their black or white stone at a vacant intersection of the board. Usually, weaker player holds Black. In the end, the player with bigger territory wins the game. For the learning in Go games, humans could be advanced to higher rank, for example, by winning 4 out of 5 games. However, a Go player's performance could be influenced by some factors, such as the spot environment as well as physical and mental situations of the day, which causes the difficulty and uncertainty in certificating the human's rank. In this paper, a type-2 fuzzy markup language (T2FML)-based system is proposed to infer the human's rank according to simulation number, komi, and board size. Based on the adaptive Upper Confidence Bounds for Trees (UCT)-based Go-ranking mechanism, the number of simulations for each move of the game is collected when the invited Go players are against the computer Go program, MoGoTW. At the same time, the strength of the human is also estimated by using the Bradley-Terry and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) models. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is feasible for estimating the strength of a human.Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ), 2013 IEEE International Conference on; 01/2013
Conference Paper: Upper confidence tree-based consistent reactive planning application to minesweeper[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many reactive planning tasks are tackled through myopic optimization-based approaches. Specifically, the problem is simplified by only considering the observations available at the current time step and an estimate of the future system behavior; the optimal decision on the basis of this information is computed and the simplified problem description is updated on the basis of the new observations available in each time step. While this approach does not yield optimal strategies stricto sensu, it indeed gives good results at a reasonable computational cost for highly intractable problems, whenever fast off-the-shelf solvers are available for the simplified problem. The increase of available computational power − even though the search for optimal strategies remains intractable with brute-force approaches − makes it however possible to go beyond the intrinsic limitations of myopic reactive planning approaches. A consistent reactive planning approach is proposed in this paper, embedding a solver with an Upper Confidence Tree algorithm. While the solver is used to yield a consistent estimate of the belief state, the UCT exploits this estimate (both in the tree nodes and through the Monte-Carlo simulator) to achieve an asymptotically optimal policy. The paper shows the consistency of the proposed Upper Confidence Tree-based Consistent Reactive Planning algorithm and presents a proof of principle of its performance on a classical success of the myopic approach, the MineSweeper game.Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Learning and Intelligent Optimization; 01/2012
Conference Paper: Improving the exploration in upper confidence trees[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the standard version of the UCT algorithm, in the case of a continuous set of decisions, the exploration of new decisions is done through blind search. This can lead to very inefficient exploration, particularly in the case of large dimension problems, which often happens in energy management problems, for instance. In an attempt to use the information gathered through past simulations to better explore new decisions, we propose a method named Blind Value (BV). It only requires the access to a function that randomly draws feasible decisions. We also implement it and compare it to the original version of continuous UCT. Our results show that it gives a significant increase in convergence speed, in dimensions 12 and 80.Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Learning and Intelligent Optimization; 01/2012

ABSTRACT: Low-discrepancy sequences provide a way to generate quasi-random numbers of high dimensionality with a very high level of uniformity. The nearly orthogonal Latin hypercube and the generalized Halton sequence are two popular methods when it comes to generate low-discrepancy sequences. In this article, we propose to use evolutionary algorithms in order to find optimized solutions to the combinatorial problem of configuring generators of these sequences. Experimental results show that the optimized sequence generators behave at least as well as generators from the literature for the Halton sequence and significantly better for the nearly orthogonal Latin hypercube.ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 01/2012; 22(2):1-25. · 0.53 Impact Factor
Conference Paper: Strategic Choices: Small Budgets and Simple Regret[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In many decision problems, there are two levels of choice: The first one is strategic and the second is tactical. We formalize the difference between both and discuss the relevance of the bandit literature for strategic decisions and test the quality of different bandit algorithms in real world examples such as board games and card games. For exploration-exploitation algorithm, we evaluate the Upper Confidence Bounds and Exponential Weights, as well as algorithms designed for simple regret, such as Successive Reject. For the exploitation, we also evaluate Bernstein Races and Uniform Sampling. As for the recommandation part, we test Empirically Best Arm, Most Played, Lower ConfidenceBounds and Empirical Distribution. In the one-player case, we recommend Upper Confidence Bound as an exploration algorithm (and in particular its variants adaptUCBE for parameter-free simple regret) and Lower Confidence Bound or Most Played Arm as recommendation algorithms. In the two-player case, we point out the commodity and efficiency of the EXP3 algorithm, and the very clear improvement provided by the truncation algorithm TEXP3. Incidentally our algorithm won some games against professional players in kill-all Go (to the best of our knowledge, for the first time in computer games).Technologies and Applications of Artificial Intelligence (TAAI), 2012 Conference on; 01/2012

ABSTRACT: The ancient oriental game of Go has long been considered a grand challenge for artificial intelligence. For decades, computer Go has defied the classical methods in game tree search that worked so successfully for chess and checkers. How- ever, recent play in computer Go has been transformed by a new paradigm for tree search based on Monte-Carlo methods. Programs based on Monte-Carlo tree search now play at human-master levels and are beginning to challenge top professional players. In this paper we describe the leading algorithms for Monte-Carlo tree search and explain how they have advanced the state of the art in computer Go.Communications of the ACM. 01/2012; 55(3):106-113.

ABSTRACT: Multi-Modal Optimization (MMO) is ubiquitous in engineering, machine learning and artificial intelligence applications. Many algorithms have been proposed for multimodal optimization, and many of them are based on restart strategies. However, only few works address the issue of initialization in restarts. Furthermore, very few comparisons have been done, between different MMO algorithms, and against simple baseline methods. This paper proposes an analysis of restart strategies, and provides a restart strategy for any local search algorithm for which theoretical guarantees are derived. This restart strategy is to decrease some 'step-size', rather than to increase the population size, and it uses quasi-random initialization, that leads to a rigorous proof of improvement with respect to random restarts or restarts with constant initial step-size. Furthermore, when this strategy encapsulates a (1+1)-ES with 1/5th adaptation rule, the resulting algorithm outperforms state of the art MMO algorithms while being computationally faster.Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Artificial Evolution; 10/2011
Conference Paper: Random positions in Go[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It is known that in chess, random positions are harder to memorize for humans. We here reproduce these experiments in the Asian game of Go, in which computers are much weaker than humans. We survey families of positions, discussing the relative strength of humans and computers, and then experiment random positions. The result is that computers are at the best amateur level for random positions. We also provide a protocol for generating interesting random positions (avoiding unfair situations).Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG), 2011 IEEE Conference on; 10/2011
Conference Paper: Lemmas on partial observation, with application to phantom games[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Solving games is usual in the fully observable case. The partially observable case is much more difficult; whenever the number of strategies is finite (which is not necessarily the case, even when the state space is finite), the main tool for the exact solving is the construction of the full matrix game and its solving by linear programming. We here propose tools for approximating the value of partially observable games. The lemmas are relatively general, and we apply them for deriving rigorous bounds on the Nash equilibrium of phantom-tic-tac-toe and phantom-Go.Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG), 2011 IEEE Conference on; 10/2011
Conference Paper: Intelligent agents for games and computer Go[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In order to stimulate the development and research in computer Go, several Taiwanese Go players were invited to play against some famous computer Go programs. Those competitions revealed that the ontology model for Go game might resolve problems happened in the competitions. Therefore, this tutorial will present a Go game record ontology and Go board ontology schemes. An ontology-based fuzzy inference system is also developed to provide the regional alarm level for a Go beginner or a computer Go program in order to place the stone at the much more appropriate position. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach is feasible for computer Go application. Hopefully, advances in the intelligent agent and the fuzzy ontology model can provide a significant amount of knowledge to make a progress in computer Go program and achieve as much as computer chess or Chinese chess in the future.Intelligent Agent (IA), 2011 IEEE Symposium on; 05/2011
Article: Lower Bounds for Comparison Based Evolution Strategies using VC-dimension and Sign Patterns[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We derive lower bounds on the convergence rate of comparison based or selection based algorithms, improving existing results in the continuous setting, and extending them to non-trivial results in the discrete case. This is achieved by considering the VC-dimension of the level sets of the fitness functions; results are then obtained through the use of the shatter function lemma. In the special case of optimization of the sphere function, improved lower bounds are obtained by an argument based on the number of sign patterns.Algorithmica 01/2011; · 0.49 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: This paper exhibits lower and upper bounds on runtimes for expensive noisy optimization problems. Runtimes are expressed in terms of number of fitness evaluations. Fitnesses considered are monotonic transformations of the {\em sphere} function. The analysis focuses on the common case of fitness functions quadratic in the distance to the optimum in the neighborhood of this optimum---it is nonetheless also valid for any monotonic polynomial of degree p>2. Upper bounds are derived via a bandit-based estimation of distribution algorithm that relies on Bernstein races called R-EDA. It is known that the algorithm is consistent even in non-differentiable cases. Here we show that: (i) if the variance of the noise decreases to 0 around the optimum, it can perform optimally for quadratic transformations of the norm to the optimum, (ii) otherwise, it provides a slower convergence rate than the one exhibited empirically by an algorithm called Quadratic Logistic Regression based on surrogate models---although QLR requires a probabilistic prior on the fitness class.01/2011;

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we will consider questions related to blindfolded play: (i) the impact (in various conditions) of playing blindfolded in the level of Go players in 9x9 Go (ii) the influence of a visual support (the visual support is a board with no stone) (iii) which modifications are required for making a program strong in the blind variant of the game (and, somehow surprisingly, implementing a program for playing blind go is not equivalent to implementing a program for playing go) (iv) some conclusions on the rules of blind Go for making it interesting and pedagogically efficient. Computational intelligence design question: should a program play differently against a human opponent than against a computer? Our hypothesis here is that the same-strength assumption, which is the basis for many computer programs (alpha-beta or Monte-Carlo Tree Search) does not hold in blind games. Two counter- examples to this "same strength" assumption are already known in some non-blindfolded games:01/2011;

ABSTRACT: Estimating the belief state is the main issue in games with Partial Observation. It is commonly done by heuristic methods, with no mathematical guarantee. We here focus on mathematically consistent belief state estimation methods, in the case of one-player games. We clearly separate the search algorithm (which might be e.g. alpha-beta or Monte-Carlo Tree Search) and the belief state estimation. We basically propose rejection methods and simple Monte-Carlo Markov Chain methods, with a time budget proportional to the time spent by the search algorithm on the situation at which the belief state is to be estimated; this is conveniently approximated by the number of simulations in the current node. While the approach is intended to be generic, we perform experiments on the well-known Mines game, available on most Windows and Linux distributions. Interestingly, it detects non-trivial facts, e.g. the fact that the probability of winning the game is not the same for different moves, even those with the same probability of immediate death. The rejection method, which is slow but has no parameter and which is consistent in a non-asymptotic setting, performed better than the MCMC method in spite of tuning efforts.01/2011;

2004 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 6M)
I will end up averaging about 1000 miles per month over my first year owning this car. I live in a region with many excellent sports car roads and little severe weather. Twisty mountain roads are the favorite hunting grounds of this predator. Z4, CLK230 and Mustang are its favorite prey. Although its ultimate grip around a corner may not be the king of the hill, it loves the transitions and flies through them with great balance. Feedback to the driver is excellent. I have the 17-inch wheels and they seem to have better comfort than the 18-inch from what I have read. Car makes you feel like you are a much better driver than you are. Moreover, it lets one become a better driver, too.

This is my 7th Z car and the first I
could AFFORD to buy new (I was too
young to afford the $45k for a Twin
Turbo in the early/mid 90's).
The power is great,excellent
handling,shifts nice,very good brakes
and a decent ride for the type car it
is.Interior quietness is good but you
get some tire noise on certain
roads.The stereo is mediocre at
best.Even the pricer Bose system in
Touring models is a letdown.
Great car to get next to Lancer
Evos,RX8's and S2000's with.The
fantastic lowend repsonse assures many
stoplight victories compared to most of
its competitors requiring high RPM
clutch drops.
The Enthusiast model is the best value
IMO. So much more value than the pricer

It gets good gas mileage. Driving for
3-4 hours with the top down at speed is

I'm 60 years old and bought the Z for myself as a reward for living this long. I've owned it for 8 months and during this period I've enjoed it like no other auto I've ever owned. The Z is pleasing to the eye, reliable, easy to drive (meaning I'm not always shifting in traffic. The Z accelerates in 6th going up steep hills.), Gets about 23mpg,if driven in a sane manner, has plenty of guts under the hood, its exhaust note is pure Coltrane, the steering and the Z's ability to stick where it's aimed is very reassuring as is the braking. I've only broken rear- end loose once, and it was my error not the Z's. The car is forgiving. The trunk is plenty big enough for family shopping needs.

sure it was some jerk in the marketing

November 2013 walking thread
My goal is 70 miles
I'm back at this again. ;)
My goal is 20 miles.
My bunion is killing me :mad: :mad: and I might have to replace walking w/ elliptical or DVD's if it's okay to post?
I have bought shoes, bunion braces, socks. You name it and I can't seem too stop this pain. It's putting a hold on my exercising and it's killing me to NOT workout because without working out, I'm back to gaining all of my weight again!! :annoyed::cry::annoyed:
I remember walking 20 miles over 6 years ago and and feeling great! Now, it's worsen over the past 4 years! I can feel the pain starting at about the 2 mile mark. :(
This really sucks!! :mad:
Thank you Heather!
My goal this month is to walk at least 3-4 times a week. I think this is doable; my foot doesn't hurt anymore, and I'm getting (hopefully) my last x-ray on my fracture today....hoping that the doc says I can kick it up a notch in the walking department. It's getting colder here, so I will have to force it upon myself to walk on the treadmill from time to time (not my fave) but I'll try to stick it out for as long as I can - outside.
Good Luck to everyone & their goals this month!
Welcome back kami. :)
Plus 4 this morning.
Thanks for the thread Heather.:) Welcome back Kaimi :hiya: - so glad you are rejoining us! Stacy I am happy the foot is getting better:clap: - yippee!

thank you all. missed my oldies and welcome newbies. :)
Hi everyone...used to walk lots awhile ago,would like restart again..my goal is 20 miles for this month
Let's do this girls ;)
first 2 miles
Mega 2 miles and toning with Leslie Sansone....felt great...got the new 5 mega miles...can only do the 2 miles out of the 5...my goal is too reach that 5 miles.,...with this 2 miles i've buned 483 calories...it's speedwalking and toning with the stretch bands...
Have you tried exercising in a swimming pool?? It takes alot of pressure off of those places that bother you!!
I hope to walk 100 milles in November also having my fitbit keeps me moving more!!
I had to edit the last post as part of it ended up in the wrong place!!! I wanted to say that I am 62 years old and going to physical therapy for my hips and part of it is in a pool!! Love it!! Only thing is I have to drive 30miles to do it!!! OK for now but roads get bad around here this time of year!! Might have to save it for better weather!!! Anyway I am going to keep on keeping on!!
Welcome MommyGates! Good job on the 2 miles. Leslie's videos are great for indoor walking.
starrhae - good for you walking despite the sore hips! I'll bet those Montana winters are a challenge. Are those your dogs in your avatar? I have two standard poodles. Love them dearly but am still struggling to get the puppy house trained. She just doesn't seem to get it. The old girl is wonderful and house trained in 1 day when she was a puppy. Guess I just have to keep trying with the puppy.
+4 for me today. 3 power walking and 1 with the two dogs giving my arms a workout as well.
Shun, yes they are our dogs!! One is 6 the other is 8!! Awesome boys!! They are brothers but 1 yrs apart!!i had a poodle yrs ago !! Loved her!! She was a toy!! My DD has a GoldenDoodle!! That dog is amazing!!!!!
+ 2 miles - treadmill
4 miles total
Good job everyone!! :clap:
+4 this morning. Snapped cold overnight but felt good once I got going and nice to be somewhat lighter outside. Even saw the partial eclipse - these early more walks are good for the soul as well as the body!

November 26, 2014
DETROIT (AP) Subaru is recalling an undetermined number of vehicles because of air bag problems that have affected much of the global auto industry.
The recall covers the 2003-2005 Baja, Legacy and Outback and the 2004-2005 Impreza, as well as the 2005 Saab 9-2X made by Subaru.
It only affects vehicles in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands with air bag inflators made by Takata Corp.
The front passenger inflators can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the air bags are deployed. That can injure passengers.
Faulty air bags have been blamed for recalls of millions of cars in recent years.
Subaru says it's doing the recall as a precaution and to cooperate with a government investigation. Owners will be notified later.

Update: Vivendi Is On The Right TrackLee Boy • Yesterday, 5:38 PM
- 3Q14 and 9M14 results in line with the expectations.
- Thanks to the recent asset disposals, Vivendi has almost €9 billion to invest or give back to the shareholders. An extraordinary dividend or share buyback could be expected in 2015.
- The French company should also focus its activity on digital media and content, which could be appreciated by the market.
- Expansion in French-speaking emerging markets and especially Africa keeps going on, which should drive the revenues in the long term.
A Bright Future In Africa Makes Vivendi A Long-Term BuyLee Boy • Fri, Aug. 8 • 2 Comments
- Vivendi and its pay TV subsidiary Canal+ could get hit hard by Netflix in France.
- However, Vivendi has a massive expansion opportunity in French-speaking Africa.
- The market could focus on the short term without seeing the big picture.

Mon, Aug. 18, 2:44 PM
- Reuters reports Telefonica (TEF +0.2%) will include a TV content-sharing deal as part of its offer to Vivendi (OTCPK:VIVHY) for Brazilian wireline carrier GVT. A source states the revised bid is worth €7B ($9.4B), topping Telefonica's prior €6.7B offer.
- Bloomberg has reported Telecom Italia (TI -1.8%) is willing to offer up to €7B for GVT. However, TI's offer is reportedly all-stock, whereas Telefonica is offering both cash and stock.
- In addition, analysts have noted Telefonica's Spanish pay-TV presence could appeal to Vivendi, which owns a sprawling media empire.
- Related tickers: VIV, TSU
Sun, Aug. 17, 9:00 AM
- Telecom Italia (NYSE:TI) is preparing an offer of as much as €7B ($9.4B) to outbid Telefonica (NYSE:TEF) for Vivendi's (OTCPK:VIVHY) Brazilian broadband unit GVT, Bloomberg reports.
- Previously, Telefonica offered $9B to merge GVT with its mobile and wireline subsidiary Vivo.
- If the deal goes through, Vivendi would receive a 20% stake in Telecom Italia and a share in the combined companies' Brazilian units.
Thu, May. 22, 12:10 PM
- Vivendi (VIVHY) will receive net proceeds of ~$850M by selling 41.5M Activision (ATVI -1.1%) shares (a 5.8% stake) at $20.70. The price is modestly below Activision's Wednesday close of $20.87.
- The sale is part of a broader cash-raising effort by Vivendi. Last month, the conglomerate agreed to sell French mobile carrier SFR for over $23B.
Sun, Apr. 6, 1:16 AM
- Vivendi (VIVEF) has decided to sell its SFR unit to Luxembourg-based cable and mobile provider Altice despite Bouygues sweetening its offer for the mobile business at the last minute.
- Altice will pay €14.25B in cash and give Vivendi a 20% stake in a company that will be created via the merger of SFR and Altice's French Numericable subsidiary. The whole deal is worth over €17B ($23.3B), above the €16-16.5B that Bouygues bid.
- In addition, Vivendi believes that selling SFR to Altice "presents the lowest competition risk."
- Previous (PR)
Fri, Apr. 4, 5:23 PM
- Activision's (ATVI) shelf registration paves the way for Vivendi (VIVHY) to halve its remaining stake to 5.8% through a future offering. (S-3)
- At current levels, such a sale would yield Vivendi gross proceeds of $830M. The filing comes 9 months after Vivendi agreed to sell most of a 60% stake in Activision through an $8.2B leveraged recap deal.
Fri, Apr. 4, 7:37 AM
- Bouygues (BOUYY) has increased the cash component of its of bid for Vivendi's (VIVEF) SFR to €15B ($20.6B) from €13.15B in a deal valued at €16B, or up to €16.5B including an "earn-out clause."
- Vivendi would also receive 10% of a new company that would be formed from a merger between SFR and Bouygues Telecom.
- Vivendi's supervisory board is meeting today to decide whether to finalize a deal with its preferred bidder, Altice, which has made a bid valued at €20B including debt. Altice has offered €11.75B to merge its Numericable unit with SFR, with Vivendi to get 32% in the combined firm. Bouygues' bid could re-open the process.
- Previous
Tue, Apr. 1, 7:11 AM
- Bouygues (BOUYY) has extended its revised offer for Vivendi's (VIVHY) French mobile telephone unit SFR by two and a half weeks until April 25 and said it would pay a breakup fee of €500M ($690M) if regulators block a merger of Bouygues Telecom with SFR.
- Bouygues' action comes after it sweetened its offer last month in response to Vivendi choosing to conduct exclusive negotiations over SFR with Luxembourg-based cable and mobile provider Altice.
- Bouygues has offered €13.15B for SFR and for Vivendi to receive a 21.5% stake in the combined Bouygues Telecom-SFR. Altice has bid €11.75B to merge its Numericable unit with SFR, with Vivendi to get 32% in the combined firm.
- Previous
Thu, Mar. 20, 2:32 PM
- Bouygues is now offering Vivendi (VIVHY) €13.15B ($18.1B) in cash for rival French carrier SFR, along with a 21.5% stake in the combined entity. Numericable has offered €11.75B in cash and a 32% stake.
- The cash portion of Bouygues' bid has been raised by €1.85B. The company asserts its new offer grants SFR a value of €17.4B after factoring synergies, and that it plans an immediate IPO for the combined entity, thus giving Vivendi a chance to quickly monetize its stake.
- Last week, Vivendi said it would hold exclusive talks with Numericable parent Altice for three weeks before making a decision. Bouygues, meanwhile, tried to appease regulators by agreeing to sell assets to rival Iliad (Free) in the event of an SFR deal.
- Orange (ORAN +0.5%) investors are hoping Bouygues wins out, thereby cutting the number of French mobile carriers to three. Shares rallied last week on news of the Iliad deal, and turned positive today after Bouygues upped its SFR offer.
Fri, Mar. 14, 7:35 AM
- French Industry minister Arnaud Montebourg believes that Vivendi (VIVHY, VIVEF) prefers Numericable's bid for its SFR mobile unit over an offer from conglomerate Bouygues (BOUYY).
- However, there are concerns about a potential Numericable victory, Montebourg says, including the small size of the company relative to SFR, its debt, and its offshore ownership structure. Numericable's ulitmate owner, billionaire Patrick Drahi, controls the company via Luxembourg-based Altice.
- Montebourg prefers the Bouygues offer, as the company has pledged not to cut jobs.
- Vivendi's board was due to meet today to discuss the rival offers, which both value SFR at over $20B.
- Previous
Mon, Mar. 10, 4:06 AM
- French conglomerate Bouygues (BOUYY) has agreed to sell part of its network and wireless spectrum to smaller French competitor Iliad for up to €1.8B ($2.5B) if Bouygues succeeds in its efforts to merge its mobile phone unit with Vivendi (VIVHY, VIVEF) subsidiary SFR.
- The asset sale would be part of Bouygues' attempts to assuage antitrust concerns in France about the cellular deal.
- Bouygues faces competition for SFR from Amsterdam-listed Altice, which doesn't face the same antitrust hurdles as Bouygues.
- Previous
Thu, Mar. 6, 3:37 AM
- Bouygues (BOUYY) has offered €10.5B ($14.42B) to acquire a 49% controlling stake in Vivendi's (VIVHY, VIVEF) SFR mobile unit.
- Bouygues would then merge its telecom subsidiary with SFR and list the combined entity as soon as possible.
- Vivendi would be left with a 46% holding after the merger and advertising firm JCDecaux 5%.
- However, the deal would probably face a tough regulatory review given that SFR and Bouygues Telecom are the number two and three mobile operators in France by subscribers.
- Bouygues also faces competition for SFR from Amsterdam-listed Altice, which has reportedly offered €11B in a deal that would leave Vivendi with 30%+ of the new company.
- Previous
Wed, Mar. 5, 5:05 PM
- Vivendi (VIVHY, VIVEF) has confirmed both cable giant Numericable and telecom/construction conglomerate Bouygues have made bids for its SFR mobile unit. The company adds each bid comes with financing commitments.
- Reuters has reported Numericable's bid values SFR at €15B ($20.6B), and would give Vivendi a 30% stake in the post-merger company.
- Regulators would likely give less scrutiny to a deal with Numericable than one with Bouygues, given the former wouldn't lower France's mobile carrier count. Either deal could yield a tougher competitor for SFR rivals Orange (ORAN +1%) and Iliad (Free).
- As of September, Orange had 26.8M subs, SFR had 21M, Bouygues had 11.1M, and Iliad had 7.4M.
Mon, Feb. 24, 7:10 AM
- Vivendi (VIVHY) has received an approach from Amsterdam-listed Altice about an alliance between Vivendi's mobile unit SFR and Altice's cable firm Numericable.
- However, Vivendi hasn't yet received a formal offer.
- Reuters earlier reported that the the deal being discussed would value SFR at €15B ($20.6B) and give Vivendi a 30% holding in the combined entity. (PR)
Nov. 15, 2013, 4:18 AM
- Vivendi's (VIVHY) FQ2 net profit dropped to €376M from €493M a year earlier, hurt by further declines at its French telecom unit SFR.
- EPS 28 cents per share vs 38 cents per share.
- Adjusted revenue +0.2% to €5.35B, in line.
- Adjusted EBIT dropped 23% to €730M, in line with some analysts' expectations.
- Vivendi confirmed its FY guidance for all units.
- Vivendi hopes to split off SFR, its largest subsidiary, by next year. The unit has been hit by a price war in France.
- Shares +2.85% in Paris. (PR)
Nov. 5, 2013, 8:16 AM
- Vivendi (VIVEF) sells its 53% stake in Maroc Telecom (MAOTF) to UAE's Etisalat for €4.2B ($5.7B) in cash. The companies intend to close the deal by the beginning of 2014.
- Negotiations began in April, with Etisalat becoming the only potential buyer after Qatar's Ooredoo withdrew from bidding in June. The Moroccan state holds a 30% stake in Etisalat and wanted to ensure that the new owner would invest in mobile infrastructure.
- The divestment builds on an overarching strategy of Vivendi to focus on its media and content businesses.
Oct. 1, 2013, 8:46 AM
- Echostar (SATS) and Vivendi (VIVHY.PK) subsidiary GVT are negotiating a pay-TV service joint venture in Brazil, reports Financial Times.
- The move would allow GVT to offer standalone TV services as opposed to its current triple-play-only offers (fixed-line, TV, and internet). GVT has grown rapidly and won 500K customers since it started the business in 2012.
- Bernstein analyst Claudio Aspesi noted, "This would give GVT the opportunity to distribute their content on a wider footprint." The JV may also benefit from increased pay-TV demand on the back of the 2014 World Cup, which Brazil will host.

This is my new blog for the purpose of releasing the Freetime scanlations of Nana to Kaoru YA as well as the Arashi spin off. This is in no way an attempt to replace ecks, but since he is MIA for the time being, we needed somewhere to do releases for those of you who don't do the chatroom thing. Hope this helps and play nice!
Nanachanscans is two years old! Hurray! (I wondered if we would last two months :D ) Thank yous go out to all the people who have worked with me to keep up with this hobby of mine, everyone who has complemented, criticized, suggested or pleaded, you have all helped in one way or another, so thank you also.
I would like to take a moment to say goodbye to one of my favorite manga, History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi. Next issue is said to be the last, and an epilogue chapter at that. Fingers crossed for Kenichi-kun and Miu-chan. I'll miss them.
Now, lets all have a piece of cake. I made it myself, LOL.
Alrighty then! Thanks to the hard work and self sacrifice of AnonTL and Log, here is the next chapter in the continuing trials and tribulations of our favorite frog faced Dom. I've got a new machine, so now I can get back to doing my part in things and my fellows won't be as over worked from now on. Enjoy!
The "official" release for those of you who don't have it and so it has it's own place. Enjoy!
Edit: The link was supposed to be the honking big, beautiful picture up above, but I screwed something up, so here's the long version-http://www.mediafire.com/download/d7tuadjgnj22oqt/Nana_to_Kaoru_c116_(94).zip

Developers bemoan trouble with in-app purchases
Twitter was buzzing this morning about a problem with Apple's in-app purchasing system. According to the comments, Apple's receipt verification system is down and developers are losing potential sales. An unconfirmed report from Engadget suggests, Apple may be trying to purge the system of fake receipts. Regardless of the reason, let's hope Apple can get things squared away soon. Customers want to make their purchases and developers want to make their money.

This week the team will be looking at the two conventions. Who wone, who lost? Maybe the bigger question is, does anyone care? Elections are won and lost by a small percentage of 'undicided' voters, did any of them actually watch the conventions? Even if they did, were they swayed one way or the other?
The RNC and DNC both offered moments of drama, or maybe stupidity, depending on your viewpoint.

"A tortured classic"
classic old sci-fi
It was an enjoyable escapist tale and a bit of science fiction history. Many of Burroughs' twists and story points become tropes that other authors use. While some of the story may seem contrived or trite, it is mostly because we've seen the tales inspired by Burroughs hundreds of times. It was enjoyable to see where it all came from.
The narration was flat and un-inflected. I don't expect everyone to be as talented and exciting to listen to as Jim Dodge's rendition of the Potter books, but this narration was the audio equivalent of poorly washed salad. The salad is still ok, but every once in a while you get grit in your teeth.
A adventure too big for just one world.
Listen to A Princess of Mars. If you have access to a better narration, grab him, otherwise, just go with the flow, and alongside the story imagine how you might narrate it better.
"Solid narrative, solidly performed."
I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that Ms. Maddow was performing her own book. This was after I had already learned about the book and nearly decided to purchase it. The book is a solid history of Cold-War and Post-Cold-War military policy, and I'm mightily glad to have read it. The fact that Maddow performs it in her characteristic "wow-can-you-believe-this-nonsense" manner makes a possibly dry subject compelling. Well done.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals struggling to get the ball to Larry Fitzgerald
It looked as if Larry Fitzgerald would have a huge day against the St. Louis Rams Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium.
After all, Fitzgerald did catch three balls for 31 yards on Arizona's 15-play, 91-yard scoring drive on their first possession.
Unfortunately for Fitz, and for Fantasy Football owners everywhere, the numbers on the stat sheet wouldn't change for the remainder of the game. Three catches, 31 yards. In the Cardinals' last two games, Fitzgerald has just four catches for 42 yards, and the six-time Pro Bowler has just one 100-yard game this season.
Fitzgerald's diminished production isn't from a lack of trying to get him the ball. Sunday, Cardinals quarterback Ryan Lindley targeted Fitzgerald 12 times -- but simply missed him on a number of occasions.
"Two of those interceptions would've been big plays to Larry had we gone about it correctly, and that seems to be what's happening," Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said Monday. "We missed those two times and we missed him on a couple of other things. But we're going to continue to work to get opportunities to Larry."
Fitzgerald is tied for sixth in the NFL with 113 targets through 11 games. But his 55 catches rank tied for 15th in the league, so something is wrong.
"It's hard because you don't know how much goes into trying to work to get these situations," Whisenhunt said. "And when we do get them and they come up and you have it there, and we don't execute on it...you're frustrated you didn't get it done."
And sometimes the effort to get the ball to No. 11 is derailed even before a throw occurs.
"On one sack, we had Larry running wide open down the field and we made a mistake in the line and Ryan had to slide to his left and actually ended up taking a sack on first and ten," Whisenhunt explained. "You look at that play and it's something you work to set up and Larry's behind everybody and that's where Ryan's going to go with it, but we have a breakdown.
"That's been happening too much to us."
The play Whisenhunt was referring to was a first and ten at the Cardinals' 25-yard line following Greg Zeuerlein's missed 35-yard field goal. Fitzgerald lined up to the left against Janoris Jenkins, and beat him cleanly off the line. The Rams brought a delayed blitz with eight defenders rushing the quarterback against eight Cardinal blockers, including tight ends Jeff King and Rob Housler and running back Beanie Wells. But King got beat on the right of the formation by Rocky McIntosh, who sacked Lindley for a one-yard loss.
The Cardinals would punt two plays later.
Despite the struggles in the passing game, Whisenhunt applauded Fitzgerald for remaining positive.
"Larry's been great, he works hard every day, he wants to be successful and it hurts him when he's not," he said. "We're all frustrated, but it hasn't affected Larry from the standpoint of how he's dealt with his teammates and how he works in practice."

REPORT: Key Terror Detainee Acknowledged 'I Make Up Stories' In Response To Torture
"REPORT: Key Terror Detainee Acknowledged 'I Make Up Stories' In Response To Torture"
The Bush administration has long justified its use of torture by claiming that it obtained valuable information from torturing 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Late last year, former Vice President Dick Cheney said, "Did it produce the desire results? I think it did." He explained:
I think, for example, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was the number three man in al Qaeda, the man who planned the attacks of 9/11, provided us with a wealth of information.
But according to documents released by the Obama administration in response to a lawsuit brought by the ACLU, Cheney was lying. Mohammed told U.S. military officials that he gave false information to the CIA after withstanding torture:
"I make up stories," Mohammed said, describing in broken English an interrogation probably administered by the CIA that concerned the location of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
"Where is he? I don't know. Then he torture me," Mohammed said. "Then I said, 'Yes, he is in this area.'"
The torture of Mohammed, who we know was waterboarded 183 times in one month, "underscores the unreliability of statements obtained by torture."
In an interview with Fox News' Brit Hume earlier this year, President Bush admitted that he personally authorized the torture of Mohammed. He said he personally asked "what tools" were available to use on him, and sought legal approval for waterboarding him:
BUSH: One such person who gave us information was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. … And I'm in the Oval Office and I am told that we have captured Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the professionals believe he has information necessary to secure the country. So I ask what tools are available for us to find information from him and they gave me a list of tools, and I said are these tools deemed to be legal? And so we got legal opinions before any decision was made.
