3 Ex-Dividend Stocks With Buy Ratings
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The following stocks go ex-dividend Thursday, meaning an investor must purchase the shares Wednesday to qualify for the next dividend payment: Henry (Jack) & Associates (JKHY - Get Report), Microchip Technology (MCHP - Get Report) and Solera Holdings (SLH - Get Report).
The three stocks receive buy ratings from TheStreet Ratings.
See the complete Dividend Calendar.
Microchip Technology
The semiconductor products maker reported earlier this month third-quarter earnings of $77.5 million, or 38 cents a share, a fall from year-ago earnings of $100.8 million, or 52 cents. "The company guided for seasonal growth as it expects to see the beginning of the upturn," JPMorgan analysts wrote in a Feb. 3 report. "However, we continue to believe Microchip is expensive at its current valuation of 18X our C13 EPS estimate of $2.15, a roughly 15% premium to our large cap semiconductor average of 15.5X C13 EPS. As a result, we remain Neutral on MCHP due to valuation." Forward Annual Dividend Yield: 3.8% Rated "A (Buy)" by TheStreet Ratings: The company's third-quarter gross profit margin was basically the same as a year ago. Microchip Technology is extremely liquid. Its Quick Ratio is 5.84, which shows it can meet its short-term cash needs. In the third quarter, stockholders' net worth increased 17.65% from the prior year. TheStreet Ratings' price target is $43.12. The stock closed Monday at $36.94 and has risen 0.05%.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Brazil: Give a yellow card to restrictions on protests!
As Brazil comes to the spotlight ahead of the 2014 World Cup, Amnesty International is launching a new global campaign urging authorities to ensure security forces "play by the rules" during demonstrations expected to take place ahead and during the tournament.
The campaign "No foul play, Brazil" asks individuals across the world to send yellow cards to Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and president of Congress, Renan Calheiros, urging them to respect everybody's rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly during the World Cup.
Large scale demonstrations have taken place in Brazil since June 2013, showing greater discontent with the poor quality of public services and its impact on thousands of people living in urban areas, among other concerns. Police have often responded using excessive and unnecessary force, including tear gas and rubber bullets.
"Protesting is not a crime, it is a human right. Instead of using violence to crush protesters, the government and the security forces have the responsibility of ensuring people are safe. Any abuses must be promptly investigated, with those responsible brought to justice," said Atila Roque, executive director of Amnesty International Brazil.
"The Brazilian government must ensure the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly of everyone during the World Cup, that security forces are adequately trained and that the use of tear gas and rubber bullets is properly regulated."
Brazil has also used laws meant to target organized crime and militias in urban areas to crack down on peaceful protesters. New vaguely worded anti-terror laws are currently in the pipeline at the National Congress, which could be used to punish those who participate in peaceful demonstrations and threaten the right to freedom of expression.
"Peaceful protests should never be seen as a threat. Instead, the authorities should engage in a constructive dialogue with those participating in demonstrations and never criminalize them," said Atila Roque.
The campaign includes a petition, which will be available at www.aiyellowcard.org. Signatures will be collected until 2 June and will be delivered to authorities in Brasilia on 5 June.
"This campaign aims to engage football fans and those concerned with human rights around the world to cast a light on police abuses and freedom of expression in Brazil," said Atila Roque.
With only a few weeks to the start of the World Cup, which will take place in 12 cities across Brazil, federal and state authorities are taking special measures regarding public security and policing during the event. It is expected that thousands of people will take to the streets exercising their right to peaceful protest.
With this campaign, Amnesty International joins other civil society organizations in Brazil to advocate for the rights of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly to be respected and protected. This includes by ensuring that new and existing legislation complies with international human rights law and standards, and that public security, including the policing of demonstrations, is carried out in line with these standards.

"Very Disappointed"
I have listened to all of Baldacci's books on Audible.com and usually find them very entertaining, so I was looking forward to Camel Club. This one was a huge disappointment and I do not recommend it.
It reads like he wrote the general plot outline and then contracted it out to a less-capable writer.
The expositions (coming every chapter) on why the Moslem world has a bone to pick with Britain and US are overkill with a capital O. OK, we get it! Plus, it is all stuff everyone has heard before, ad infinitum, and often it does not fit into the scene. It is far beyond character motivation and background.
The female Secret Service agent's constant whining and need to prove herself are an insult to female Secret Service agents. In the middle of stealthily crossing a darkened room that may contain assassins, she stops to complain that the male agent is going first!
The entire conspiracy at the heart of the book is quite confusing - what did the plotter really hope to accomplish? Given that he almost blew up the planet, I'd say it was flawed logic from the beginning. And, eek, it looks like Baldacci plans to bring him back in future books.
The actions of acting President were ludicrous in the extreme. The only person who would write that is one who truly thinks the other political side are evil simpletons without consciences. I found it completely unbelieveable.
The ultimate actions of the intelligence director were also beyond belief - I didn't see the motivation at all.
This all comes down to bad writing, and writing apparently colored by the author's need to expound on his own views of the world at the expense of a good plot and logical motivations for the characters. Baldacci needs to learn from authors who can do it right. I have found books like The Kite Runner very enlightening in understanding the recent history of the Moslem world. It can be done without insulting your audience.
I normally wouldn't read a book of this description, I'm not into fantasy. I'm not sure why I bought it. It sat in my My Library for a couple of years before I finally listened to it. Neil Gaiman's performance of his own work blew me away. He is an amazing reader, in addition to being a fantastic writer. His vocal performance of the different characters gave each of them an individual personality. And it really enhanced the listening knowing that the text was delivered exactly as the author intended.
So while I would normally have been turned off by the subject matter, instead I was enthralled. I rate this as one of my favorite "listens" ever.
"Stranger than fiction"
You just can't make this story up. Louis is a complex guy. But how he managed to survive is beyond amazing. It's a story of resilience without making him out to be a hero. Just a human being like the rest of us who managed to come through. And you just have to wonder at the darkness of humanity that let such horrors happen. That he then found the grace to forgive is even more amazing. Edward Hermann's narration does it all justice.
"Not my thing"
Narrator made poor accent choices and vocal character choices
I'd say to read the book if you like thrillers but skip the audiobook.
Why use an NYC accent for a SF cop? The villain's voice was just too overblown villain-y. I didn't like the way the narrator lingered over the gruesome details. As for writing -- the author completely messed up lab results for anemia. The counts were typical of low white cell counts, but NOT low red cell counts. Such a thing would be very easy to check, he should fire his medical advisor!
I'd recommend reading "Omnivore's Dilemma" and "Botany of Desire" first before this novel, to get a good idea of the issues and potato farming today (and also because they are great reads.) I enjoyed this novel, the characters were interesting and complex. It didn't get too preachy for me, I thought it all hung together well.
I appreciated the voice talent, but I almost abandoned the novel because, honey, those aren't Idaho accents. My dad and his family are from Idaho, and these characters sounded deeply East Coast. That really hurt it for me, especially since I chose the book because of our family roots in same setting as the book.
I am a big fan of Nelson DeMille's other books, but Wild Fire was so contrived that it felt more like a badly-written James Bond movie. I hate having to say that because DeMille has never disappointed me before. The bad guy just has to gloat over his evil plot to the good guys. Even insane bad guys know that is too risky. Our heroes, Kate and John, do not have compelling enough reason to risk their careers in pulling maverick moves on the investigation. Kate seems to be just along for banter and window dressing, I am sure she would have shut down John's dumb moves in a better-written novel. Contrived plot points put them in the right places at the right times.
On the good side, Scott Brick's narration is stellar as usual, he is my favorite. The banter is witty. I'll definitely listen to any other DeMille books, but this one was a big disappointment.
"One of the best books ever"
My boss insisted I listen to this book IMMEDIATELY - she wanted to share it and discuss it. It is a book you loathe coming to an end because each character is fascinating and the story so rich in details, truth, and humor.
Even without the hinge of the character's hermaphroditism, this is a great story with unforgettable characters and scenes - from the grandparents falling in love and escaping from Turkey to the parents upward mobility to the true-to-life teen angst. The author captures exactly what it was like to be a girl in the 1970's - right down to the shampoo, bath powder, etc.
The reader is a likewise a true talent, he brings to life each character - I loved listening to him.
If the hinge of the story puts you off, don't let it. This is not an "issues" book, although by the end you will have a deep appreciation of intersexed individuals. And you will have enjoyed the most entertaining book I have listened to - EVER.

Eureka Season 4 Episode 18
This One Time at Space Camp...
The episode opened with the Astraeus candidates waiting for their final interviews for the mission to go to Titan, while Allison and Jack waited for a second visit from the DoD in the form of a supervisor to appeal the decision for their relationship not being approved.
The supervisor turned out to be Warren again who was recently promoted and was back to process their appeal using a neural transmitter to gather images from both Jack and Allison. As Warren put the device away he got a little shock from coffee being spilled on it.
As the Astraeus engines are being tested they go haywire due to a piece of metal being wedge in the back of the engine. Shortly afterwards Carter is lured into a decontamination unit and a guard is knocked out for his uniform.
These events lead Jack and Henry to realize that Warren must be living out Jack's memories. Henry and Jack are able to stop Warren, Grace and Allison were able to remove the memories and Warren was fine. Actually he was better than fine as he now felt really close to Allison and Jack and said that their relationship was approved!

These are alternatives (or supplements) used by support scammers from India to the Event Viewer and ASSOC/CLSID ploys also used to "prove" to a victim that their system is infected with malware or has other security/integrity problems.
The "Prefetch" command shows the contents of C:WindowsPrefetch, containing files used in loading programs.
The "INF" command actually shows the contents of a folder normally named C:WindowsInf: it contains files used in installing the system.
INF and PREFETCH are legitimate system utilities: so how are they misused by scammers? By asking a victim to press Windows-R to get the Run dialogue box, then asking them to type in something "prefetch hidden virus" or "inf trojan malware". When a folder listing like those above appears, the victim believes that the system is listing malicious files. In fact, neither of these commands accepts parameters in the Run box. You could type "inf elvish fantasy" or "prefetch me a gin and tonic" and you'd get exactly the same directory listing, showing legitimate files.
Neat trick: but don't you fall for it!

While I knew of this scam in general, I just got a call like this. Windows-R "inf accker" was what I was asked to type. I started by telling them that I was sitting in front of my computer (a lie;no computer was online in my household) and then acted like an illiterate user while she led me through the steps. Made her describe multiple times what to do. (I was folding laundry and has my cell phone on hands free, so it wasn't wasting my time). When we got to the point when she told me that someone was trying to take control of my computer, I fessed up. I said, "Yes, I knew that and it is you." She protested, but when I said I was an IT Manager, she abruptly hung up. I'm glad I had the time to lead her on. It was enjoyable!
I'm not an IT Manger but I too was aware of these calls and decided to have some fun. I strung the man along for quite a while asking him about casement vs. push-up Windows and what about Juliet when he wanted me to press Windows R as in Romeo. He eventually said he thought I was having fun with him and I fessed up. I told him I'm sure he was a very nice man but the people he worked for did not have my best interest in mind. I suggested he try and find a different job and that God loved him. (He does!) I had the time and thought it would be better for me to waste 10 or 15 minutes of his time that he might be scamming someone else! And yes! It was VERY enjoyable!
I pulled up this site while getting an unsolicited "Windows Support call." The "Windows Guy" told me to press Windows R and then type in the run command window "inf location virus". lol… even the fake command sounds bogus.
Yes, he knew my phone number, town, and address–so what? Just look it up in the white pages. He had no other form of identification. When I asked for "proof of ID" he just went to scare tactic mode. "You're computer could be infected! (Inset town name) was infected with a virus that shuts down your computer. Don't you want to be safe?" He got really mad when I commented that I knew about the "inf scam" and tried to deny everything.
Still not convinced it was a scam though? After I hung up, I checked the saved caller ID on my phone: 136-642-8888 and no country code. Oops! That's not a phone number in the US, and certainly not a California phone number where he claimed 'was'.
I got the call just this morning. They end up giving you a website http://www.help1.us which has no identifying marks and they want you to click on some "download…" button and that's the point where, if you haven't been saying it before, you get really concerned. I told them to call me back – and in the interim found this website to collaborate my concerns. Thanks much.
They're still at it. Got the call this morning. I said i didn't have my computer on and he told me to go turn it on. So I left him on that phone, got some coffee, then decided I'd let them "help" me.
Fired up the laptop, got back on the phone. He told me to do the command R thing, told him nothing happened. Try it again, so I did, nothing happened. Said to open up Internet Explorer, I said I used Firefox, he said that's ok. Sent me to http://www.help1.us and click on the "Download Ammyy Admin" link and open it. I did, file AA-v3.exe opened in Text Edit (a text file with gibberish), wasn't what he expected.
Finally he said look at the bottom left of my keyboard and look for the window icon. I told him I didn't have a window, I had something else. He asked what it looked like, I said it looked like a flower. He asked if I was on a Macintosh, I said yes, he put me on hold and the call dropped.
Oh dear, my support call was dropped! At least we had a few minutes when they weren't bothering anyone else.
I just had an Indian sounding chap call me from, 'Windows Support Centre'. I immediately smelled a rat. He asked me to simultaneously press the windows key and 'R', so I did. Then he wanted me to type, 'inf" then hit OK.
I asked him what this was supposed to do – he said it would display all the infected files on my computer. I told him to hold on while I did a Google search to find out what this actually did. It took me a few seconds to find this site and I started reading some of the comments out to him. Amazingly, he stayed on the line and listened to it. Eventually, I told him that I knew it was a scam, not to call me back and hung up. Losers!
My parents, who are retired and not very tech savvy, just got called by these scammers this week. They first called on Monday, but my Mom accidentally hung up on them while passing the phone to my Dad. They called back again Tuesday, and then spent 75 minutes on the phone with my Mom. Unfortunately, they did get her to click on the download from http://www.help1.us, which I believe loaded a LogMeIn module which then allowed them to take over her computer. The scammer then ran a processes utility from http://www.pchealthcheck.us for further "proof". They wanted her to update a windows certificate for $179, but ultimately, she declined, and then I got called in to help them from there.
I was able to retrace these actions by looking at the history in the Run module (which they don't otherwise use). Coincidentally, they had just upgraded to Windows 8.1 the day before, which is what made them more gullible for the scam.
I couldn't find any traces of LogMeIn actually installed anywhere on the computer, and Norton didn't pick up anything, so I'm assuming they were just fishing for credit card information.
You guys are missing all the "fun". I string them along as long as I can, I act dumb, and amazed. The more time of theirs that I waste, the more fun it is. I end the call by telling them to go F*(&^ themselves, and they really don't like that… but they call back every DAY!
I just had an Indian guy call me claiming my computer needed "immediate attention" and that since I am a "valued Microsoft customer" that I needed to do as he says right now. My spammer alarm instantly went off (not that the loud noise in the background wasn't an instant red flag or ANYTHING), but I played dumb and strung him along for as long as I could to see what he was up to. Then, when he took me to that shady website and asked me to click on the button for him to get control of my computer, I hung up. It's too easy.
Just had an indian guy call me and try to get me to run "inf." He taught me that "inf" stands for infection. I led him on as long as I could but I don't have a windows computer and I eventually didn't know what should have happened next. He got spooked and hung up.
Salt Lake City, Utah
My grandfather got the same call today, he said that he had to press windows R and type in inf then he told them that he didnt trust them, so he called me in and I looked it up and found this page!
these people just dont give up…..they keep calling me i told them to stop they did…couple days letter they hit me with this plan i almost believed them too because they had my email and my name they called me from this number 786-374-2822

2 dead, 7 injured in crash in San Lorenzo
SAN LORENZO, Calif. (AP) - The California Highway Patrol says two people died and seven were injured when a van crashed into a parked flatbed trailer in San Lorenzo.
The crash occurred around 8:40 p.m. Tuesday.
The CHP says the Dodge Caravan carrying nine people was traveling at about 50 mph when it drifted to the left and hit the trailer.
The driver was apparently talking to a passenger in the back at the time. Both the driver and that passenger died. Neither has been identified.
The CHP says seven other people in the van were injured. Three were taken to Eden Hospital in Castro Valley with major injuries. Four others went to Highland Hospital in Oakland with minor to moderate injuries.

This is from my apartment complex this morning…
I have been looking for new ways to expand on my cardiovascular training segment for my own workouts… everyone always complains about not having anywhere to workout. You have to make your own circumstances!
Here is a 15 minute cardiovascular/plyometric workout I did in the pool this morning…
4 x 40 Meter Sprints – 30 second rest in between
2 x 50 High Knees – 15 second rest in between
2 x 10 Squat Jumps – 15 second rest in between
THIS IS A KILLER WORKOUT! You think running sprints or on the treadmill can get you going? Try this and you will be fighting for breath!
The best players are in the best shape, and the best players FIND WAYS TO WORK!

Whether you need a new commercial freezer for your restaurant, a drawer freezer for your remodeled kitchen, or a chest freezer for more space, a quality freezer is a good investment. There are hundreds of models available in a variety of colors and styles, including under counter freezers and those with glass and reversible doors.
Appliances Connection carries the best freezers from top brands, including GE, Electrolux, Thermador, and Frigidaire, to name a few. If you have any questions or need help choosing the right freezer, contact us at 800-299-9470.
Types of Freezers
Although a refrigerator freezer may provide sufficient space for food storage, having a separate freezer is convenient and may even save you money.
What style of freezer works best for you?
Chest Freezer
If you need a lot of space for your frozen goods, a chest freezer is a great option for you and your family. A chest freezer has the most usable storage space and is the most economical choice. They also can hold their cold temperature better than any other type of freezer, keeping contents frozen for 2 to 3 days if unplugged.
Drawer Freezer
An under-counter freezer is a great option when you have limited space or you want to blend your appliances in with your kitchen design. Compared to upright and chest freezers, a drawer freezer has smaller storage space, but is also a great option for small families or an individual.
Upright Freezer
Are you looking for a space-saving option for your freezing needs? An upright freezer offers the convenience of front-loading storage with the best options to organize your frozen foods. When considering an upright freezer, make sure you have not only room for width but also height.
Appliances Connection offers free nationwide in-home delivery, no sales tax, and full manufacturer warranties on all brand new kitchen appliances. We can even haul away your old freezer.
To contact Appliances Connection with any questions on what freezer is right for you, please call 800-299-9470.

We liked the pool and spa area
Nothing to do after dinner say from 8-11 no entertainment no atmosphere in bar
Afternoon tea was excellent and something new on offer.
With a large part of the bar "reserved" for wedding parties after the main wedding day, it was a bit of a struggle to get a table in the bar to dine or drink. Annoying after I had asked was it possible to reserve a table in the bar and was told that it wasn't.
Staff were lovely and meal was delicious.
Pool a little on the chilly side for my liking but spa area still very nice.
Loved this hotel in every way. The location is perfect, set off the road so its very quiet. Staff were fantastic, the food is excellent. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
The only negative that I have is that the spa treatments were just ok and would just use the spa next time rather than booking a massage etc.
From the moment you pull up into the car park everything is amazing
The surroundings and the estate where remote and private
The styling of the room was modern but some of the furniture was worn and chipped - carpet seemed old
Very controllable heating. We don't like overheated rooms especial during the night and it was very easy to turn heating up and down. Beautiful library type room to relax in after dinner.
Didn't really like seeing guests wandering around wearing bathrobes, particularly in reception area,
Everything about this stay was just great! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the facilities were excellent.
The trainee staff were very friendly and helpful
The food was ok it was not great
Swimming pool
Delay in room availability due to being very busy
Facilities, room, grounds, atmosphere were all excellent. 3rd time staying here and have always had a great time before.
Food in the bar was very poor, had to send one meal back. We weren't charged for it but still took away from the experience. Second meal was not great and prices are high for the quality. No hot water in the room. Again we love this hotel but we were a little let down this time unfortunately. Could have just been a one off though
Lovely welcome by staff, room was nice and spa/ pool area is lovely. Didn't arrive until late so requested a late check out the next morning to avail of the facilities this request was no trouble. will definitely be going back for another visit.
I really liked the outdoor pool and spa areas. The bedroom have a beautiful view.
The pool area is lovely for just chillin with a book and it's amazing at night
Some of the staff were efficient instead of being friendly. Others were lovely including Conor who was very warm and welcoming
The Food. All dishes that we had were amazing.
The Massage, I booked in for a deep back massage. I had to ask the girl to go harder on my back a few times. She just rubbed it up and down. A waste of money!
The food and atmosphere in the Cellar was lovely
Unfortunately the spa area was overpacked on the Saturday. There was no room in the steam rooms etc so we only went for a quick swim as this was packed too
For a complete getaway from the world there is nowhere better. Love everything about Farnham and can't wait to go back!
I loved the outdoor pool- lovely experience swimming under a full moon. The spa area was perfect-peaceful, tranquil and beautifully designed. Lovely walks around the hotel. Unfortunately we only managed 1 walk as we spent 2 full days in the spa.
Breakfast was lovely but slightly cold both mornings despite food being served from hot plates. Was disappointed that afternoon tea , served in a beautiful dining room, was much too expensive to experience. Found prices of bar food quite expensive but prehaps this is price of food in Ireland Found prices for spa treatments quite high.
prompt and efficent check in. Nice food in bar reasonably priced
room at end of corridor ,had large window and patio door, people out on their walks could see into room, could do with blinds on inside. room cold ,radiators only on at certain times
the surroundings and William the porter who made us feel very welcome.
Car park 500 meters from the hotel which was tired and nothing special, overall not very clean. Booked a superior room, but it fell short, unless they think the addition of a chaise long makes it so.
Food in restaurant was excellent Very spacious room
Pillows very poor
Excellent ou door pool & spa area, massive , clean,warm rooms.
Having to walk from car park to hotel , waiting on shuttle bus.

STUNNING but... This lamp is stunning! However, I believe it was someones return at some point as it wasn't totally packaged brand new. The shade arrived dented and it was missing its finial. As I know I ordered the last one available I put the dent in the back up against the wall and will have to try to find some FAB finial for the top.

They are faux crystals, probably made from an acrylic.
I don't believe they are actual crystals (esp. for the price). But it does not take away from its overall beauty.

How to Buy a Lampshade
Lamps are more than just functional pieces; they also contribute to the decor of a room. Their sizes vary, from table lamps to floor lamps, and a large variety of styles are available to suit any home decor. Lampshades are usually the focal point of lamps. They complement the base of the lamp, and they also hide the bulb and diffuse the light. To achieve the best effect with a lampshade, simplicity is the key. Ornate floor and table lamps are best complemented by simple lampshades, while a simple table or floor lamp can support a more decorative lampshade.

17-18 Golden Square, London W1F 9JJ
14 February – 31 May 2015
The Whitworth, Manchester
The Whitworth reopens 14 February 2015 with a major solo exhibition from one of Britain's most acclaimed contemporary artists, Cornelia Parker – and her work invites you to witness the transformation of ordinary objects into something compelling and extraordinary.
It is an extensive exhibition, one that features a wide range of work made during Parker's career, from her signature piece Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991) alongside two important new commissions and many other new works.
The Image as Burden
5 February – 10 May 2015
Tate Modern, London
Marlene Dumas is one of the most prominent painters working today. Her intense, psychologically charged works explore themes of sexuality, love, death and shame, often referencing art history, popular culture and current affairs.
'Secondhand images', she has said, 'can generate first-hand emotions.' Dumas never paints directly from life, yet life in all its complexity is right there on the canvas. Her subjects are drawn from both public and personal references and include her daughter and herself, as well as recognisable faces such as Amy Winehouse, Naomi Campbell, Princess Diana, even Osama bin Laden. The results are often intimate and at times controversial, where politics become erotic and portraits become political. She plays with the imagination of her viewers, their preconceptions and fears.
To celebrate our 25th anniversary, Frith Street Gallery is delighted to announce the reopening of our original space at 60 Frith Street, Soho Square, where the gallery first operated in 1989. Since opening, Frith Street Gallery has emerged as one of the art world's most interesting forces, instrumental in developing the careers of internationally renowned figures as well as supporting those at earlier stages of their career. The reopening of the space marks our achievements to date and our quarter century.

Clearer picture on rural broadband rollout
From Westmeath Examiner (Link to original Article)
People suffering from a lack of decent broadband should finally – this Monday – get a clearer idea of when things are likely to improve where they are.
Maps showing where broadband is available – and more importantly, where it is not – are to be published on Monday.
Westmeath is likely to feature prominently in the National Broadband Plan maps, that Communications Minister, Alex White is launching in Doolin.
Already there's a long list of Westmeath areas that are deemed "blackspots" – areas that just don't get the sort of download speeds that are taken for granted in places such as Mullingar town.
The map is intended to show in details the locations across Ireland that will have access to commercially-provided high speed, high-quality broadband by the end of 2016, and the remaining locations, which will require state intervention to provide access to high speed, high-quality broadband.
Also on Moday, the minister will outline the next stages in the roll-out of the programme to bring high-speed broadband access to all homes, schools and businesses in the State regardless of their location.
Already, on the Department's list of Westmeath "blackspots" are: Archerstown, Ballinea, Ballinalack, Ballykeeran, Ballymore, Ballynacargy, Ballinagore, Baylin, Bracklyn, Castletown, Castletown Geoghegan, Collinstown, Coralstown, Dalystown, Drumcree, Drumraney, Dysart, Fardrum, Finea, Fore, Gaybrook, Glasson, Horseleap, Knockdrin, Loughnavalley, Monilea, Mount Temple, Moyvoughley, Rathconrath, Rathowen, Rosemount, Slanemore, Streamstown, Streete, Tang, The Downs, The Pigeons and Walderstown.

David Goldma
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- A new, faster version of Wi-Fi was officially rubber-stamped Wednesday.
The latest Wi-Fi technology, called "802.11ac," offers speeds of up to 1.3 Gigabits per second. That's fast enough to transfer an entire high-definition movie to a tablet in under 4 minutes, share photo albums with friends in a matter of seconds or stream three HD videos at the same time. It's more than double the top speed of the previous standard, known as 802.11n.
Those speeds are theoretical maximums -- very few people have anything close to 1 Gigabit speeds from their home broadband connection. Average speeds are less than 1% of that. But the faster speeds mean the new Wi-Fi standard will offer a much bigger pipeline for all those videos, songs and games that a growing number of people are streaming on multiple devices simultaneously.
The Wi-Fi Alliance, a global organization that ensures the interoperability of Wi-Fi technologies, began certifying so-called "ac" devices Wednesday. It kicked off the certification program by signing off on 19 routers, access points, microchips and smartphones. The shortlist of certified devices includes the Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and routers from Cisco and Netgear.
Shipments of ac Wi-Fi devices began last year, but they remain very hard to find. The Wi-Fi Alliance believes that the start of its ac certification program will get the ball rolling quickly.
"Usually, our certification programs serve as one of the contributing factors to widespread market adoption," said Kelly Davis-Felner, the Wi-Fi Alliance's director of program management. "But already, this feels like a much more accelerated adoption than in years past."
A recent ABI Research forecast predicts that 40% of smartphones will support the newer version of Wi-Fi this year. By next year, the Wi-Fi Alliance expects ac devices to make up the majority of the Wi-Fi market. Even Apple, typically a late adopter with new technologies, has announced that its future products will feature ac Wi-Fi connectivity.
The new Wi-Fi standard comes at a crucial time: The average number of Wi-Fi devices in U.S. households has doubled since 2008, with each home averaging four devices connected to the Wi-Fi network during peak usage times.
As the number of demands on the network grow, the need for more Wi-Fi capacity grows along with it. Also, as a growing number of consumers and businesses install Wi-Fi networks, interference is becoming a concern.
The new standard aims to solve those problems. It allows more devices to simultaneously connect to a network without a degradation in performance. It also features lower latency times for streaming music and gaming, where network hiccups and delays can ruin a user's experience. And the latest Wi-Fi standard helps deliver streaming videos more reliably, even when the network is being used by other devices.
As an added bonus, 802.11ac requires devices to have support for two bands of airwaves, which will help to reduce interference. And it requires less power consumption from smartphones, tablets and PCs when they're transmitting data.
Wireless carriers are keeping a very close eye on the new Wi-Fi standard. Cell phone companies are increasingly looking to deploy Wi-Fi hotspots to offload traffic from their congested networks. The new standard offers speeds that are on-par with 4G.
"The ratification of the 802.11ac standard will significantly improve the usefulness of Wi-Fi to carriers," said Mike McCormack, analyst at Nomura Equity Research.
Carriers have begun testing out technology that automatically switches users from 3G and 4G networks to Wi-Fi. As the number of "ac" mobile devices grow, McCormack said consumers may all soon be connecting to Wi-Fi networks without even knowing it.
