Saturday delivery could be the difference between an online and offline purchase.
I recently ordered a few bottles of wine online from a daily deal site. The day the package was due to be delivered I was eager to get home and crack open a bottle of zinfandel. But what I hadn't anticipated was that since I wasn't home to accept the delivery and the package required an adult signature, the package wouldn't be left at my door. Rather, I had to reschedule the delivery for the only day that I would be home to accept the delivery—a Saturday.
That experience came to mind the other day when Amazon.com and Netflix offered differing perspectives as to whether the U.S. Postal Service's proposed cut of Saturday delivery would affect their businesses.
I agree with Lauren Freedman, president of The E-tailing Group, who said yesterday that eliminating Saturday delivery only would only affect a limited number of online shoppers. But what happens when you're one of those shoppers?
For a shopper who needs a last-minute gift for his brother-in-law's birthday (that's me) or a wedding shower (that's my wife), Saturday delivery can make the difference between making a purchase online and trudging to the subway and battling the ever-present crowds on Chicago's Michigan Avenue. With Saturday delivery it's quick and easy to select an expedited delivery date on a site like Amazon.com or Buy.com. But if I have a three-day lag time between ordering a package on Friday and receiving it on Monday, I might just turn to a multichannel retailer who offers a buy online, pickup in store option. And I think I may not be alone.
Training, signage and motivation are all critical elements to making in-store pickup work. If done ...

As families start the annual ritual of shopping for backpacks and supplies for the new school year, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is introducing a new value pass for students to help families stretch their household budgets even further this year. The "S'Cool" pass provides unlimited rides on bus and light rail for a steeply discounted price. Youths (ages 17 and younger) who purchase the "S'Cool Pass" for $75 will save $60 off the regular price of buying three individual monthly passes.
This new discounted pass, similar to the popular Summer Blast Pass, will go on sale in September and be good for unlimited travel during the months of October, November and December.Students also will be able to access the free 4G Wi-Fi on board VTA's light rail vehicles. Now, students using VTA Wi-Fi can download their homework assignments and YouTube videos of their summer vacation at lightning speeds.To notify staff and teachers of changes that have been made since the last school year, VTA is sending schools information packets about the new fare boxes and safety around the light rail system.
For many years, VTA has provided the "Youth Outreach Program" sending staff out to make school presentations about the benefits of taking public transportation and how to be safe when walking or biking around the transit system. Students learn how to plan their trips, while focusing on riding rules and proper transportation etiquette.VTA also offers teachers a free Class Pass which gives them the opportunity to take students on field trips using VTA buses and light rail. Close to 50,000 teachers and students enjoyed a "class pass" trip during the 2010-2011 school year.
The train wreck, which occurred in the early morning of March 24, 2014, when the operator allegedly fell asleep, injured more than 30 people and caused roughly $9 million in damage. The lead railcar had to be cut up to remove it from the escalator.
The vehicle, which was a designed and built by Brookville Equipment Corp., will be the first streetcar in the U.S. that utilizes wireless traction power.
Opened in 1935, Newark Penn Station is listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The station was originally designed and still operates as an intermodal facility serving pedestrian, taxi, bus and private vehicle traffic generated by the more than 50,000 transit customers who use the station each day.
Part of the problem is an aging fleet, according to officials. Calgary Transit placed a $200-million deal in 2013 to buy 60 new light rail vehicles; however, those vehicles will not be operational until 2016.
The new trains for Hermann-Hesse railway line will be completely emission-free. In times of increasing energy costs and higher level of pollution, the development of this technology is essential.

"Where don't see somebody with a tablet of some kind? Everybody is pretty comfortable with that technology," Larsen says.
Android tablets hit the human services transportation market a couple years ago, and have been a game-changer ever since, he adds. One benefit is that Google and Android provide an open source platform for the proliferation of web applications allowing providers to monitor customer service agents, or conduct accident investigations, giving a camera to a supervisor and sending them out with a Web app instead of having everything handwritten.
Tablets also cut costs on investing in equipment. A paratransit agency that has an older MDT may have four or five devices in the compartment with the driver. The Android eliminates that duplication of efforts, Larsen points out. For example, an application that records directly on that Android tablet could be used for the driver pre-tip inspection form.
"Everything is right there in the driver's hands and you don't have multiple applications and devices in the front of the vehicle," he adds. "It's one device, it's affordable. As the device wears out, you just get a new version for literally pennies on the dollar for what you paid on all these others combined."
Lack of durability was first seen as a major drawback, but that has not proven to be the case. The tablets are durable, Kent says, and in the rare event they do need to be replaced, it's a straightforward process of getting a new one out into the field so the wiring isn't as big a deal.
"Wiring harnesses under the older MDTs could be really cost prohibitive from a maintenance standpoint," he recalls. "We stripped an MDT down [and] counted all the wires. In an older model it was like 146 wires had to be connected to get this thing in the vehicle. That's pretty daunting for a mechanic and maintenance staff, if you've got 50 vehicles and you have to [install] all those and make sure they're all operating correctly. You have to really be on top of your maintenance game. Androids are plug and play and inexpensive."
Securing tablets in the vehicle is easy, using mounting equipment from RAM Mounting Systems, which makes the equipment for police cruisers, boats and now for Android tablets, according to Larsen. The tablets can also be locked if an operator is concerned that the device is going to walk away with staff.
Manufacturers and software developers are also responding to safety concerns agencies from agencies, Larsen says.
"What happens if a driver is looking at the screen while they're driving? [Some] software manufacturing developers are creating feature functionality that prevents the tablet from operating while the vehicle is in motion. They use the native technology in the tablet, so when the vehicle starts moving it locks the screen."
The Titan800 Retractor System is designed to meet the latest WC18 industry regulations, which take effect December 2015.
The Final Rule applies to public entities providing fixed route, dial-a-ride and complementary paratransit services. It establishes that an individual's disability cannot preclude a public transportation entity from providing full access to its service except where doing so would fundamentally alter the service.
Following unanimous approval by the SFMTA board in January, the SFMTA has worked tirelessly to meet the city's demand for this program. In just over one month, the SFMTA has processed more than 38,000 applications for the Free Muni program expansion.
The accusations stem from a human rights complaint by a rider who said a bus driver refused to lower the wheelchair ramp for her because she was using a walker and not a wheelchair. STM holds monthly meetings where they open the floor to citizens to ask questions directly to board members.
The Berkshire Regional Transit Authority Soldier On call center coordinates transportation for veterans and their families traveling to VA medical centers in Leeds, Mass. and Albany as well as Pittsfield's VA clinic. Users can also coordinate work, education and shopping trips using existing routes.

Boom, Boom, Boom! 'Kung Fu Panda' Joins Elite Club With Three Homers
For those like us who can't stay up late to watch the World Series, here's a cheat sheet on what happened in Game 1 last night.
The San Francisco Giants beat the Detroit Tigers 8-3, but the amazing part of the story is that for the second year in a row a player hit three home runs in one World Series game.
This time it was Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval — affectionately known as "Kung Fu Panda" because he's 5'11" and weights 240 pounds — who thrice went downtown. A year ago, as you might recall, it was then-St. Louis Cardinals star Albert Pujols who did the triple trick.
The only other players to have hit three home runs in one World Series game: the New York Yankees' Babe Ruth (who did it twice) and Reggie Jackson.
What else do you need to know if someone corners you to talk about the game?
As NPR's Tom Goldman said on Morning Edition, the other major storyline from last night is that the Giants beat the Tigers' previously nearly unbeatable pitcher, Justin Verlander. He only lasted four innings and gave up five runs on six hits.
Game 2 is tonight, starting at 8 p.m. ET, on Fox TV.

A highly buoyant, lightweight and portable utility table for use in any body of water, such as oceans, lakes, fresh water ponds, containment ponds, water towers and pools, as well as on land as a work bench, or for recreational activities such as camping, picnicking, tailgating and table games. The utility table possesses excellent buoyancy with rigidity and resilience for durability, as well as nautical and aerodynamic stability without external support, and is prominently visible for ease of location and safety. The utility table may have a hollow interior, with molded plastic wall construction. The utility table may alternately be of a single component plastic foam or wood construction. The utility table may also possess legs for use on land. The utility table possesses a predominantly flat work surface on one side, with the opposite side possessing multiple-sized containment cavities, without effecting the table's buoyancy or stability.
1. A utility table for use in any body of water, as well as on land, comprised of:
(a) a highly buoyant floatation platform, providing exceptional stability without external support,
(b) wherein the construction is a hollow, one-piece blow-molded unit having a low profile, nautically and aerodynamically efficient shape, with rounded or feathered edges along the periphery and at transitions in the surface plane to maintain the efficient low-drag passage of moving fluids, such as water and air, enhancing said stability,
(c) wherein the top and bottom surfaces are functionally interchangeable for versatility, being substantially flat on one side, while possessing multiple-sized and ergonomically placed cavities on the opposite side for secure containment of loose articles, without compromising said buoyancy and stability,
(d) wherein the utility table is fabricated from chemically inert plastic resins, which are inherently moisture and mold resistant, resilient and durable, as well highly ultraviolet stable.

Applicant has invented a utility table, having multiple applications on both water and land. More particularly, this invention relates to a highly buoyant, nautically and aerodynamically efficient low-drag utility table, which provides exceptional stability in water, with or without external support.
At the present time, typical devises for use as a table on water are primarily designed for light-duty use in recreational applications, such as floatation devises with beverage holders and sunshades for swimming pools. These recreational devises are limited in application, ignoring other more practical usage, such as maintenance of marine equipment, docks, water towers, containment ponds, water parks, pools and the like. None of the previous efforts in this area taken either alone or in combination teach or suggest all of the benefits of this invention.
An important advantage of the applicant's utility table design is the flexibility for applications on land, as well as on any body of water.
The unique ergonomic design of the applicant's utility table offers functionality and versatility due to the specific sizes and placement of the cavities. The multiple-size cavities accommodate, but are not limited to, tools, hardware, supplies and containers, such as bottles, jars, cans, tumblers, bowls and personal items.
Applicant has found that it is preferable for the utility table to be of one piece construction, substantially constant in cross-section, fabricated from resilient, impact resistant and durable materials that are chemically inert, highly ultraviolet stable, moisture and mold resistant, as well as recyclable.
Another important advantage of the applicant's utility table is that it requires no assembly and is both lightweight and portable.
Applicant has also found that it is desirable for the utility table to be of a prominently visible color for easy location, with rounded edges to prevent personal injury or damage to containment walls or pool liners.
Applicant's invention comprises a highly buoyant utility table for use on any body of water, as well as on land, possessing nautically and aerodynamically efficient characteristics in a low profile floatation platform which provides exceptional stability, with or without external support.
It is a further object of this invention to have a predominantly flat surface on one side, with the opposite side possessing multiple containment cavities, so that the top and bottom surfaces are functionally interchangeable for versatile use, without effecting the table's buoyancy or stability.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a versatile utility table with excellent buoyancy, rigidity, resilience and durability.
These, together with other objects and advantages of the invention will become more readily apparent to those skilled in the art when the following general statements and descriptions are read in the light of the appended drawings.
Referring now more particularly to
Referring now more particularly to
Referring now more particularly to
Thus, it will be seen that applicant has invented a highly versatile utility table which is intended for use on both land and water.
While this invention has been described in its preferred embodiment, it is to be appreciated that variations therefrom may be made without departing from the true scope.

About the Book
Join the world's hottest pop star on his rollercoaster ride to superstardom!
His debut album has already gone platinum. He's sung for the President of the United States. His screaming fans have stormed TV studios and shut down shopping malls. Justin Bieber is a global superstar and now, for the first time ever, he's going to tell all in his very own book.
Justin's story is the stuff that every kid dreams of. Growing up an only child in Ontario, Canada, Justin had a natural talent for music; he was forever singing around the house and taught himself to play drums, guitar, piano and trumpet. He entered a local singing competition and despite not having had any vocal coaching, Justin came second aged only 12 years old.
But it was when he posted homemade pop videos on YouTube that Justin's dreams really came true: the videos quickly became a word-of-mouth sensation, garnering an astonishing 10 million hits. Months later, Justin was spotted by top music manager Scooter Braun who later joined forces with superstar Usher to sign 13-year-old Justin to Island Def Jam. And the rest, as they say, is history.
In his very first book, complete with free wall poster, Justin will tell the story of his amazing journey from small-town schoolboy to global superstar. Stunningly designed and jam packed full of exclusive unseen photos of Justin on and off stage, plus private captured moments, the awesome story of Justin's phenomenal rise to superstardom is a must-have for any true fan.

Maybe all that glitters at Doré, the ambitious new addition to the South Beach scene, is not gold — but the place sure is stunning. This elegant, 7,000-square-foot tenant of the Ritz Carlton is also a bit scattershot. Though the name is French, the menu includes Euro and Asian flavors starting with tapas such as chicken satay and hamachi tartare, as well as fresh oysters, croque monsieur, beef tataki, gazpacho, foie gras, pastas and risottos. It's the kind of international menu that's meant to appeal to an equally international crowd. However, in some ways it panders with predictable offerings from frisee salad to seared salmon with coconut rice.
Ambience: Doré, or gold, certainly describes the sexy gilt interior that is little changed from its brief life as David Bouley's Evolution, which closed in 2007 after less than a year. The Art Deco design, an elaborate display of curves, sexy fluted lamps, glittering chandeliers and mosaics, was created by Jacques Garcia, the celebrated Parisian designer. The gorgeous linen-dressed tables are set with substantial white china and a simple spray of magenta orchids. And, though the cooking is mostly top notch, some disappointing glitches can mar an otherwise delicious night on the town.

Blog: Youth Employment: Closed for Summer?
March 27, 2015
The percentage and number of uninsured Americans rose in 2006 to 15.8 percent, or 47 million, up from 15.3 percent, or 44.8 million, in 2005.
Similarly, the percentage of children under 18 without health insurance increased to 11.7 percent, from 8.7 percent in 2005.
The percentage of Americans covered by government health insurance programs dropped to 27 percent, from 27.3 in 2005.
The high cost of health insurance has for years been a top concern for American businesses. Hospitals regularly charge employers more for medical services than the rates set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as a way to make up for revenue lost by treating people who do not have health insurance.

Another jet-search unknown: How much it's costing - 0 Comments
BANGKOK — It's not a question most governments involved in the hunt for the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 care to answer: How much has the far-flung, month-long search cost?
The U.S. bill alone has run into the millions of dollars, and some countries such as China have devoted more ships and planes to the effort than the Americans have. Australia is spending more than half a million dollars a day on just one of the ships it has in the Indian Ocean.

TFL in war of words with frustrated commuter
Live updates
Campaigner deletes Twitter account after raising concerns
A feminist campaigner from north London - subjected to rape and death threats on Twitter - has deleted her account. It comes a day after Caroline Criado-Perez raised concerns about the police investigation into abuse.
Police: a huge amount of evidence has been examined
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said:
We are urgently trying to contact the complainant so we can discuss with her the issues that she is raising on social network sites, to once again explain our approach and tactics in this investigation to provide both answers for her and clarity.
A huge amount of evidence, including hundreds of tweets, has been captured by officers and thoroughly examined. This has been a complex and large investigation that has involved the examination of hundreds of messages sent on Twitter.
A number of people have so far been arrested in connection with the complaint, and remain on bail.
The MPS has worked closely with the CPS to ensure that what we are examining and highlighting for prosecution meets a criminal threshold. Officers have been in ongoing dialogue with the complainant since the investigation started. We are mindful of the truly hurtful and distressing impact that receiving such communication can have, however we must be sure to focus our efforts on the things that we and the CPS believe is a crime and can be prosecuted.
Police accused of insensitivity and incompetence
Caroline Criado-Perez said:
It's just appalling. I got an email saying 'why don't you go through what you've had' from three users with certain handles. It just shows such insensitivity to someone who's been through so much, I can't believe it. I've spent the afternoon crying just from the sheer awfulness of it.
They wanted me to go through all the Tweets again because of their incompetence. Every time I have to go through it it's reliving it all over again.
Police 'lost evidence' of Twitter abuse
A feminist campaigner who was sent a barrage of abusive messages on Twitter, has claimed that police lost evidence that she handed to them.
Caroline Criado-Perez, from north London, was one of a number of women who received deaths threats - and threats of sexual abuse - on the social networking site, after campaigning to have a woman's picture printed on a new banknote.
She says that the police appear to have lost supporting evidence that she had emailed to them.
Criado-Perez says 'there is more to be done' on Twitter
Journalist Caroline Criado-Perez has told ITV London that although she welcomes Twitter's new move to report abusive messages, there was more that needed to be done.
Twitter introduces new way to report abusive messages
The social networking site Twitter has introduced a new way to report abusive messages after several London women were victims of trolling.
The online company came under fire after journalist Caroline Criado Perez received violent and threatening 'tweets'.
Lucrezia Millarini reports:
Twitter abuse petition creator 'thrilled' by report move
Kim Graham, who started the Change.org petition for Twitter to do more to protect its users, has welcomed the site's move to add a "report tweet" option for users who are sent abusive messages.
I'm thrilled that Twitter has started making progress on this.
Online bullying and harassment has been too common for too long, and this is a very welcome first step toward online safety for women.
There are always improvements that can be made, but this proves that if we speak up together we can really have an impact.
Twitter 'report' option hailed as 'first step' taken
Caroline Criado Perez said it was "great" that Twitter had taken a "first step" in dealing with harassment on the social media site, but said more needed to be done.
Ms Criado Perez, from north London, was one of a number of women who were subjected to a torrent of abuse by Twitter users last month.
Ms Criado Perez said: "It's great that Twitter has listened.
"There are still issues: users have to agree for the report to be potentially shared with the harasser, and there are some boxes that could be auto-populated that aren't. But overall, this is a fantastic first step."
Stella Creasy welcomes new Twitter feature
Twitter has launched a "report tweet" feature aimed at helping people who receive abusive messages.
A number of womern were recently targeted on the site, including Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy. Over one hundred thousand people signed a petition to get the site to improve its procedures for dealing with abuse.

Learning at home: Some parents choose to teach their own kids
"At home, there no interruptions or disciplinary problems," said Karavokiris. "The kids sit down and work until they are done. There is no waste of time."
Other parents, such as San Marcos resident Wendy Garrett, said she has home-schooled her son, Justin, a seventh-grader, since he was in kindergarten because of her older son's experiences in public schools.
"My oldest loved to learn and as a result was picked on at school," said Garrett. "Once I started home-schooling him, he just flourished."
Garrett said her younger son, Justin, struggled with learning at an early age and that home-schooling worked well for him.
"I think if I'd put him in public school, he would've gotten lost," said Garrett.
Supplemental support
Although all three mothers, Shepard, Karavokiris, and Garrett, have taken charge of their children's education, they have not tackled home-schooling alone.
Their children attend the Classical Academy, a charter school in Escondido that caters to more than 700 home-schooled children in the region.
Similarly, 254 students from around the region attend the San Marcos charter school Bayshore Prep that opened in 2005 and caters to home-schooled students in grades K-12. The students attend a number of classes at the school once a week that supplement their curriculum at home.
There are about 210 San Marcos families who use the Classical Academy campus to supplement their children's home-schooling curriculum, according to officials.
The charter school, which has been open since 1999, offers home-schooled students optional weekly workshops and Friday labs in subjects such as Spanish, music or computer classes so that they can spend time with other children their age and become motivated to take more courses.
Michelle Stanley, marketing director for the school, said it has become very popular among San Marcos parents and home-schooled students in recent years because it helps meet socialization needs.
Stanley said the charter school hosts park days, movie nights, musical theater and numerous other extracurricular activities so that home-schooled students are able to socialize with one another.
"The interesting thing is, home-schooling families are very busy with activities," said Stanley. "They have a lot more time than other parents. They get a lot more involved with their communities and church groups."
Shepard said her two children are actively involved with The Movement, a nondenominational Christian church in San Marcos, as well as with the Classical Academy.
"They do a lot of socializing when they're at school," said Shepard. "They also participate in community Bible studies with others."
In addition to the classes at the Classical Academy, home-schooled students and their parents make the short drive to the Escondido campus every five weeks to meet with an educational specialist, Stanley said.
The specialists are in charge of reviewing all completed course work and making sure they meet state standards.
"It's a huge difference from having to meet with a public school teacher twice a year," said Karavokiris. "This way, if there is a problem, you can tackle it earlier."
Kavarokiris said she is planning to continue home-schooling but would consider public schools in the future if her children want a traditional school setting.
Meanwhile, she said she wants to make the most out of home-schooling.
"I want to be able to say I produced two outstanding citizens," said Kavarokiris.

If you were to browse through the list of NBA champions since 1980, you'd find that there is just one notable outlier to the rule that suggests title contenders need a superstar to win it all – the 2003-04 Pistons. While that Detroit team featured four players who were either already multi-time All-Stars or went on to become multi-time All-Stars later in their careers, no one would have mistaken any of those Pistons players as the prototypical "superstars" entering the 2004 postseason.
Tweet of the Day: Atlanta Hawks' Starting Five Honored as Player of the Month
The Atlanta Hawks' loss to the New Orleans Pelicans may have ended their 19-game winning streak, but the loss didn't negate their January of historic proportions. The Hawks finished the month of January with an NBA record 17 wins and zero losses. The accomplishment was honored Wednesday evening as the NBA announced its conference players of the month.
NBA Players React To All-Star Reserve Selections
The All-Star reserve selections were finally announced on Thursday and as expected, there were predictable picks to go with inevitable omissions. The selected are as follows: West: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, Klay Thompson, LaMarcus Aldridge, Tim Duncan and James Harden. East: Jimmy Butler, Al Horford, Paul Millsap, Jeff Teague, Kyrie Irving, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
Photo of the Day: Horford and Bazemore Love SpongeBob
On Thursday night, Al Horford was named as a reserve for the Eastern Conference All-Star team. Also chosen as reserves were teammates Jeff Teague and Paul Millsap. But, instead of being with those teammates to celebrate their selections, Horford was hanging out with another teammate at a movie premiere.
Bernucca: Who Deserves to be an All-Star Reserve?
Every team wants a player in the NBA All-Star Game. Just this week, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban complained that the voting system is "absolutely, positively broken" and lobbied for the NBA to provide additional roster spots for reserves who may have been overlooked by the fans. His reasoning was that leading vote-getter Stephen Curry received a mere 1.5 million votes, which is a miniscule total when you consider the global, electronic balloting process. As he often does, Cuban made some good
Fantasy Spin: All Eyes On Rockets-Warriors Rematch
Hope you cashed at DraftKings last night. Most winning teams had Kevin Durant $10700, Russell Westbrook $10200 and Kawhi Leonard in their lineups, but Dion Waiters $5000 (1-9) and Serge Ibaka $6900 (foul trouble) were costly mistakes.
MVP Rankings, Edition VII: Mutterings on Thibodeau at Midpoint of Season
You hear a lot of things when you are connected to a bunch of heavy hitters, and I heard a couple of things last week that sent me in search of the truth. And whatever the truth is, it was not readily apparent. First I heard from a source close to the Bulls that Tom Thibodeau had lost his locker room, his football coach mentality wearing thin with key members of a roster who it is fair to say have underperformed.

Three Unique Ways to Use King Sheets
If you have a surplus of king sheets taking up space in your linen closet, try using them in different ways. Flat king-sized sheets aren't confined the bed, so take advantage of their large yardage and use them creatively around the house.

'True Blood' on HBO
John P. Johnson/HBO
Omar's coming to Amazon Prime, you feel me?
By Aisha Harris
(c) 2014, Slate.
In a move that is sure to please many — though definitely not Netflix — HBO has entered into an agreement with Amazon to stream many of its biggest hits over the Prime Instant Video service. Beginning May 21, you'll no longer have to have HBO or access to an HBO Go account in order to stream original content such as "The Wire," "The Sopranos," "Deadwood" and "Flight of the Conchords." All you'll need is an Amazon Prime membership.
This is a sharp blow to Netflix — as Jason O. Gilbert notes at Yahoo, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has long hoped to acquire HBO's original series for his streaming service. But Hastings has also described HBO and Netflix as fierce competitors: "The goal is to become HBO faster than HBO can become Netflix," he said last year.
There are a few caveats to the exciting news: "Sex and the City," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Entourage" are not included in the deal due to pre-existing syndication deals. Neither is "Game of Thrones" ("too valuable" to HBO, apparently) or newer series like "Girls" and "True Detective" (these will be available on Amazon Prime three years after their original air date).
But if you're an HBO-less viewer who has longed to catch up with Tony Soprano and Omar Little and hated waiting for the next disc in your queue to arrive in the mail, this deal is great news.
Sarah Rabil
(c) 2014, Bloomberg News
NEW YORK — Amazon.com's Prime subscribers will soon be able to binge on old episodes of HBO's "The Wire" and "The Sopranos" — exclusive programs that rival Netflix doesn't have.
Amazon said Wednesday that it reached an exclusive deal with Time Warner's HBO network to stream select TV shows online starting on May 21. Previous seasons of current shows such as "Girls" and "The Newsroom" will become available about three years after airing on HBO, according to the statement.
The deal marks the first time that HBO's TV shows will be available online to viewers who don't subscribe to the premium network through cable-TV subscriptions. HBO's prized library of shows strengthens the e-commerce giant's lineup in the battle with Netflix, which has used original programs such as "House of Cards" to draw online viewers.
"HBO is gold-plated content that will make the Amazon Prime service much more attractive to potential members," said Paul Sweeney, an analyst for Bloomberg Industries. "This is a seminal deal for the online-video business. Having a blue-chip programmer such as HBO sign a deal with Amazon Prime validates the online video space in many investors' eyes."
Amazon Prime members get access to streaming shows online as well as two-day shipping for $99 a year.
The multiyear deal includes all seasons of shows such as "Flight of the Conchords" and "Six Feet Under," and some seasons of "Boardwalk Empire" and "True Blood." Current hit "Game of Thrones" wasn't mentioned as part of the arrangement, and other shows currently in syndication on cable are also excluded, such as "Sex and the City," "Entourage" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
HBO discussed a deal only with Seattle-based Amazon, and there wasn't a bidding war for the online rights to the content, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be named because the talks were private. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
Officials for Los Gatos, Calif.-based Netflix officials didn't immediately respond to e-mailed requests for comment.
Netflix told shareholders this week in a letter that much of the content on its service, Amazon Prime and Hulu in the U.S. is mutually exclusive and encourages consumers to see value in subscribing to all three networks. Netflix said the bigger competitive challenge is from cable and satellite-TV providers offering online services like HBO GO that require consumers to already subscribe to a cable package on their TVs.
Amazon and other online services are rapidly getting better, putting pressure on pay-TV providers like Dish Network and AT&T who are racing to put together cheaper online packages for younger viewers.
Amazon, the world's largest Internet retailer, has been using free video-streaming to lure more people Prime. In March, the company boosted the price of its Prime membership by 25 percent to $99 a year, the first increase since the service's introduction nine years ago.
At the same time, Amazon has pushed to add as much content as possible to its Fire TV box for watching digitally delivered shows and movies. It already includes applications from Netflix, Hulu and CBS's Showtime.
The HBO GO app will also be made available on Fire TV by year-end, helping Amazon Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos further challenge Apple's TV device.

can you put a string of light fixtures on the same timer?
cheerpeopleJanuary 22, 2011
This might be a silly question but LMK anyway.
Can I have several different ceiling lights and a few pendent lights all set to come on and shut off at a certain time AND have some way to override it if I want to have one stay on but not all?
We are building in the spring, I'm not the last one to bed, and I live with a family that goes to sleep leaving lights on and wasting power.
thx for your thoughts
Any lighting control system can do this such as Lutron Homeworks, Vantage, Radio Ra, Zigbe based stuff, UPB or Insteon, etc. Some of these are dealer only and others are DIY.
You can also use vacancy sensors with switches or dimmers such as Maestro wireless or you can use timers with on/off switches.
