"The rotator option is definitely really good for branched off pieces; swivel is essential. It does its job and it exceeded my expectations."
Will Carpenter,
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
"My Turbo Saw does everything I expected and more! It is an awesome tree and brush cutter."
Matt Christensen,
Sevier County Fire Warden
"I like the extended reach of the boom. It's really great. The speed's great. The teeth are easy to interchange. There's not a lot of maintenance."
Howard Greeley,
Rural Public Power
"I did six months of research and I was looking at a clipper versus a Turbo Saw. I decided on a Turbo Saw and I would buy another one in a heartbeat. Works great! I like its high reach and very durable teeth. Let's just say Turbo Saw has saved us a lot of money. It's even earned us some unexpected money from custom cutting. The Turbo Saw is a cutting machine!"
Walt Loerger,
Rancher Custom Cutter
"The mini excavator Turbo Saw is extremely nice. Will cut the heck out of stumps. Cut stumps way down. Small stuff 4-10" cut right down. Cut the larger stuff in more time, but it will get the job done. Has a great reach. Likes the way it turns too. When that head is rotated it throws cut material away from the machine. That's real nice. "
Tracy Hartfield,
Operator for Badger Bazen Inc
"I've owned a Turbo Saw since 2004. Works fantastic. I really like it. Does everything I want it to do. Pull up to a tree and it whacks it down. I've probably cut down more than a half million trees with my TurboSaw."
Stanley Oakes,
Oakes Ranch
"Did what I was told it would do. Coupled with high-flow option exceeded my exceptions. A great tool. Very happy with it. Turn it over. Cut limbs. Cut downed tree; makes it much more manageable. "
Kevin Gill,
Nebraska Rancher

Commercial selective logging and the conversion of primary and degraded forests to agriculture are the biggest threats to tropical biodiversity. Our understanding of the impacts of these disturbances and the resulting local extinctions on the functional roles performed by the remaining species is limited. We address this issue by examining functional diversity (FD), which quantifies a range of traits that affect a species' ecological role in a community as a single continuous metric. We calculated FD for birds across a gradient of disturbance from primary forest through intensively logged forest to oil palm plantations on previously forested land in Borneo, Southeast Asia, a hotspot of imperilled biodiversity. Logged rainforest retained similar levels of FD to unlogged rainforest, even after two logging rotations, but the conversion of logged forest to oil palm resulted in dramatic reductions in FD. The few remaining species in oil palm filled a disproportionately wide range of functional roles but showed very little clustering in terms of functional traits, suggesting that any further extinctions from oil palm would reduce FD even further. Determining the extent to which the changes we recorded were due to under-utilization of resources within oil palm or a reduction in the resources present is an important next step. Nonetheless our study improves our understanding of the stability and resilience of functional diversity in these ecosystems and of the implications of land-use changes for ecosystem functioning.

Paul Greengrass has exited the Aaron Sorkin-scripted Chicago 7. This isn't a shock, but it was roundly denied when we called last week. Greengrass has other projects that include Memphis, the Greengrass-scripted drama about Martin Luther King Jr.'s last days and the manhunt to find his killer. While there are several MLK films percolating, this one has a script that is Oscar-caliber. That picture was originally shelved after Universal Pictures dropped out, and Greengrass instead directed Captain Phillips, the Sony drama that stars Tom Hanks and will open October 11.

Installing pavers over existing hard surfaces
phg101May 4, 2010
We have a 350-sq-ft entry patio space that is currently: part bricks, part concrete, and part stamped concrete. We'd like to re-do the whole space to make it look cohesive with one surface treatment, such as concrete pavers. The question is: can we install the pavers by applying the sand layer over the existing hard scape surfaces and then install the new pavers? Or do we need to dig up the current bricks, concrete, and stamped concrete? Note: the existing surface already has an appropriate slope for drainage, and we live in sunny (usually) San Diego (zone 8).

Editorial: Election season is now upon us
It appears as though the fall 2013 election season is upon us. Hastings voters ought to pay attention, as they'll be asked to renew an operating levy for the school district, and they'll also be asked to make a few decisions regarding the people who will serve on the school board.
So, real quick, here are some groundrules:
• The final week for any letters that raise new issues is Oct. 24. This will give the opposition a chance to respond in our Oct. 31 issue.

When: Lunch and dinner
What to Try: Mac 'n' cheese, chicken pot pie, carrot cake
Good to Know: All other José Andrés restaurants are extending Restaurant Week through August 24 — but not this one.
1700 Tysons Blvd., McLean; 703-744-3999
So many restaurants have opened since winter Restaurant Week in January that we thought it would be a good idea to fill you in on what some newcomers are offering during the summer deal, which runs from August 11-17. During that time, local kitchens will try to wow diners with three-course meals at lunch ($20.14) and dinner ($35.14) — and hopefully entice them to come back some other time. Below are a few details on what you can expect from these new restaurants next week. Read the fine print, though, since some places play fast and loose with the traditional deal, which can either make it less of a deal or an even greater deal. Also, we hope you like steak.
When: Lunch and dinner
What to Try: Mac 'n' cheese, chicken pot pie, carrot cake
Good to Know: All other José Andrés restaurants are extending Restaurant Week through August 24 — but not this one.
1700 Tysons Blvd., McLean; 703-744-3999
Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab
When: Lunch and dinner
What to Try: Fluke ceviche, marinated skirt steak, blueberry pie with lemon streusel
Good to Know: The culinary team decided to feature all new dishes for Restaurant Week, meaning none of the menu items are currently on the regular menu.
750 15th St. NW; 202-489-0140
When: Lunch and dinner
What to Try: Escargot, steak, pot de crème
Good to Know: Dinner is the traditional three courses, but the lunch deal is good for only a first course and main course or a main course and a dessert.
405 Eighth St. NW; 202-347-7491
When: Dinner only
What to Try: Sriracha-honey wings, cauliflower, half smoked chicken
Good to Know: Diners will receive four courses — the first three with four options to choose from, as well as two dessert choices.
2446 18th St. NW; 202-232-7663
When: Lunch and dinner
What to Try: Roasted peppers with goat cheese, Argentine flatbread, Uruguayan rib-eye, flan
Good to Know: The dinner menu is actually an amazing deal, with shareable portions of eight different dishes being sent out to the table for the Restaurant Week price of $34.14. The lunch menu offers the more traditional choices for three courses, and both menus highlight what has been most popular so far.
1177 15th St. NW; 202-587-2629
When: Lunch only
What to Try: Gazpacho, pulled pork, lemon curd
Good to Know: Sona is offering three courses of mostly new dishes along with some regular lunch favorites.
660 Pennsylvania Ave. SE; 202-758-3556
When: Lunch and dinner, extended through August 24
What to Try: Bay scallop ceviche, grilled picanha steak, ancho chocolate brownie
Good to Know: Lunch might be the best deal since they are offering the usual unlimited lunch buffet, which usually costs $28 per person, for the Restaurant Week price of $20.14. (Note that it must be ordered by the whole table.)

Man Injured In Warehouse Explosion
Mon, 09/12/2011 - 5:24am
NIAGARA, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a plant worker was injured when thousands of pounds of aluminum powder exploded in a warehouse in western New York, sparking a fire that caused minor damage to the building.
Niagara County Sheriff's officials said the Stollberg, Inc. worker was treated at Mt. St. Mary's Hospital and released.
Authorities say about 4,500 pounds of aluminum powder exploded in a railroad car about 9:30 p.m. Friday. Residents within a half-mile of the plant in Niagara were asked to stay in their homes and keep windows and doors shut until morning.
The explosion is under investigation.

Postal Service honors Rosa Parks with new stamptags: civil rights, Postal Service, Rosa Parks, Stamps, Mail, Black History, Commemorative
Hundreds of people, including some of Michigan's political elite, gathered Monday to celebrate the late Rosa Parks on what would have been her 100th birthday by unveiling a postage stamp in her honor steps from the Alabama bus on which she stared down segregation nearly 60 years ago.
Parks, who died in 2005, became one of the enduring figures of the Civil Rights movement when she refused to cede her seat in the colored section of the Montgomery, Ala., bus to a white man after the whites-only section filled up. Her defiance and the ensuing black boycott of the city bus system helped the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. rise to national prominence...
The Parks stamp is the second in a set of civil rights stamps being issued this year by the U.S. Postal Service.
USPS launched the series Jan. 1 with the Emancipation Proclamation Forever Stamp, which was issued at The National Archives in Washington. In August, the series will culminate with the dedication of a stamp recognizing the 50th anniversary of the historic March on Washington...

Running Tor On Your TV 80
from the blender-seems-the-obvious-choice dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I just grabbed the newest version, the WDTV Live Streaming Server "Gen 3", which is essentially the "Hub" product without the internal hard drive.
Will WDXLTV be available for this model ever? If so, do I really care? It plays *everything* I throw at it...so what else does XL do, other than being a torrent/usenet client?
As a result of inexperienced police departments, running a TOR exit node can have some serious consequences.
So the idea of ubiquitous TOR is great, but in practice I'm be leary of endorsing having TOR enabled [everything].
For now, it should remain the domain of experienced users who are running TOR with their eyes open.
You can say it's a chicken or egg kind of situation, but I don't want my family to be one of the eggs that gets broken because of the content coming out of their TOR exit node.
Good day to avoid cops. Crawl to work.

Third-party publishing behemoth Electronic Arts has this week issued a somewhat vague, periodically dull, and occasionally exciting glimpse at what videogame fans can expect to see hit retail shelves with EA's logo stamped all over it for the 2009 fiscal year — and beyond
Unsurprisingly, considering the company's history in the sports genre, EA Sports president Peter Moore took the opportunity in a recent analyst meeting to outline that EA will be launching five new sporting titles, which do not include FaceBreaker or Playground.
Moore offered that one of those five would be a casual IP (possibly mobile or download?) scheduled for release in fiscal 2009, while the remaining four titles would be core IPs (more likely to be console based) expected to launch before the close of fiscal 2011.
Given its reliance on massively profitable gaming franchises, EA shocked no one by announcing upcoming editions of its popular Burnout, skate, Need for Speed, Rock Band, The Sims, SimCity, and Lord of the Rings series. Pandemic would appear to be pencilled in to helm the latter.
One notable piece of good news emerging from the meeting came in the form of BioWare (recently acquired by EA, along with Pandemic) being tasked with producing (yet more) Mass Effect, Dragon Age, a new MMO title, and also another Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic title.
Other Electronic Arts IPs set to appear at some point in the future include a potential sequel to The Godfather, while a sequel to criminally undervalued shooter Black is also supposed to be in production with Criterion — although recent Internet chatter has suggested that might not be the case.
So, a little something for everyone there, no? Endlessly recycled sports, racing, and action franchise entries for the easily mollified, fresh moments of genuine greatness, and a smidge of hope for bigger and better things to come. Sort of.Note the date on this article may be incorrect due to importing it from our old system.

Very nice beach/location.Posted Jul 30, 2014 on Hotels.com
Our stay was okay, however there were significant waiting on requests/services - Caribbean speed? Room/bathroom and P/Areas looked clean, towels, linen was clean; shower curtain was not. We did not use housekeeping service during our stay so more towels would have been useful. I wish we could have free wifi in room as well as on the beach. Dinner was quite disturbed by mosquitos, food was nice though at all times, well worth to pay extra for all-inclusive. Some of the employees were friendly and nice while others didn't bother to make effort. Nice large pool with a view. The property, as far as location and beach could be a place for a .5 star resort, the rooms are spacious and okay for a 3 star, but the kitchenette area in the room and the building itself is worn and timed out, need a complete makeover, it's worth doing it to make the place as beautiful as its surrounding. By the way I was wondering why need a kitchenette if there are no china/silverware or glasses what so ever? All in all, if I would come to Antigua again probably I would choose this place again hoping it might become better. Location & beach would win over service and condition.

Super Strand, mässige Unterkunft und ServicePosted Jul 10, 2014
In die Tage gekommene Anlage. BBQ am abend eher eine Zumutung, fette Hähnchen totgegrillt und harte Schweinespiesse, das wars! Frühstück ging aber keine gekühlte Auslage für die Speisen, bei 30 Grad!! Die Anlage wirkt schlecht gepflegt, sie ist in die Jahre gekommen. Das Personal st grösstenteils unaufmerksam. Von Service in dem bekannten Sinne, keine Spur. Die Fusswannen zum säubern der Füsse vom Strandsand werden tagelang nicht gesäubert, bzw das Wasser darin (und mit dem absinkenden Sand) wird nicht erneuert. Die Zimmer sind schlicht mit lärmenden älteren Klimageräten. Kein TV auf den Timmern und wir hatten kein WLAN in den Zimmern. Auch ein simpler Adapter für europäische Elektrogerät war auch nach mehrfachem Nachfragen nicht erhältlich. Mit grosser Geste wurde eine Beach Handtuch Karte überreicht, es gab nur leider keine Beach Handtücher mehr. Insgesamt die Schulnote 4- auch nur deshalb, weil der Strand sehr schön ist.

Small secluded hotelPosted Jun 1, 2014
Pros: The hotel staff, location, beach and the food made our stay at this hotel very enjoyable.
Cons: The beach needs a daily cleaning of debris. The hotel could be painted to spruce it up.
Location: St. Johns is about a 10 - 15 minute taxi ride. Can take a 20 minute walk to another beach where the water is extremely smooth.
After we entered the reception and walked around the corner to go into the main area of the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised with all of the beautiful vegetation surrounding the pool, bar, and outdoor dining areas. The view from the pool was beautiful. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was excellent. I had fish daily and was surprised with the outstanding menu. The beach was pretty and secluded. One day 2 cows walked down the beach! We stayed at the hotel the majority of the time since it was so relaxing. Took a trip to St. John's one day to buy a few suveniors and enjoyed exploring the city. On Sunday, took a tour around the island and to Shirley Heights for the music, barbeque, and sunset. There is a small historical fort close to the hotel you can walk to and explore.

Shabby (Chic) hotelPosted Apr 22, 2014
We had an excellent holiday based at Coconut Beach Hotel. It has a quiet unfussy approach. The staff are friendly the food is good if not wildly exciting and there is immediate access to the quiet beach. An ideal place to lose yourself. It is a hotel for couples, not families and this adds to the quiet atmosphere. For trips contact Frenchie - an expert on Antiguan life, generally the meaning of life and Manchester United football club. However, overall we thought the hotel was showing its age and a revamp of the rooms in particular would be welcome. They are clean but tired. Nevertheless, even with this reservation, I would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel to others.

We really enjoyed our 2 nights. Great location for our suite -a few steps onto the beach. Lovely setting for bar and restaurant with excellent food. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Many visitors had returned and we shall be doing the same. Very good value.

Are my peonies planted too shallow?
I have two peonies which were purchased at the same time from a local nursery in mid-June. One is Francis Ortegot and the other is Sarah Bernhardt. I live on the border of zones 4/5. Being a little nervous about having them planted too deeply, I left some of the root part exposed on the surface. I have lots and lots of mulch I can use over the winter. Will several inches of mulch (and maybe some tree boughs) protect my peonies, or do I need to add some dirt? Also, the SB I planted fairly soon after purchase, but the FO stayed in the pot it came in and I just put in the ground today. The plant looks healthy but the root part (rhizome?) was very light and part of it broke easily in my hands. It reminded me of a rhizome that had been dried out. The rhizome was clearly visible on the surface of the pot that housed it before I planted it, so it wasn't completely covered by dirt. I would think this would have helped decrease its chances of having issues. Is it supposed to feel that way? I'm including some photos of both plants so you can see what they look like as well as the rhizome (or tuber, I actually forget which type of root the peony has!) at the surface of the soil.
Until 1.5 years ago we lived in a climate that peonies difficult, if not impossible. They are very favorite flower now! There were 3 already in the garden of our house, and I purchased 3 more this year (the third may not make it--I think I mangled the eyes). I hope to have even more in the future as they are so amazingly beautiful!
Francis Ortegot planted today:
Sarah Bernhardt
Thanks in advance for your help!
I think they look quite good, especially for this time of the year. I can't really tell where there is any root part exposed at the surface. Might you mean the red eye that is in the first pic? If so, I think it is fine. A lot of the eyes on mine are showing above ground, now that I have them trimmed back. Since you are in a colder zone, you might consider a small amount of mulch over them, maybe 1".
Thank you, chemocurl, for responding! If you look at the red eye in the first pic (which I hadn't even noticed, believe it or not) you'll see to the above left of it a dark hole. That is on the exposed root part. The problem is the mulch is black, which makes it hard to see where the mulch ends and root begins. All the green shoots are on an exposed root thing that rises above the black mulch.
Thanks for the help. I feel better now about the peonies! We'll see if my mangled third purchase makes with any flowers next year.

I'm just wanting to confirm that what I'm doing is actually secure.
Firstly, I have a GoDaddy shared hosting account, but I do have a dedicated IP address.
Let's call my server path
My site's files are located in
When a user uploads a file, I move it to
It is impossible for someone to reach that folder via a URL.
To add, I have a .htaccess file in
/path/uploads with the following:
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 188.8.131.52 #let's say 126.96.36.199 is my server's IP address.
And then to actually initiate a download of the file, my users will follow a link to
And in
file.php, I download like so:
$mime = mime_content_type($location);
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$name);
header('Content-type: '.$mime);
As far as I know, it's not possible for anyone's uploaded files to run on my server, but I may be wrong.
Are there any security gaps that I need to take care of?

A few days ago, I dualbooted my N7 with Ubuntu. The installation went fine and the tablet was working with no issues over the last several days. Last night, I was using the tablet and set it down. I went to pick it up (roughly 5 minutes later) and the touch screen was unresponsive. I was at the lock screen but couldn't get it to unlock. I pushed the wrong key-combo first and the device took a screen shot.
I was able to reboot into fastboot and attempted to go to recovery. The device would just hang at the Google logo. I pushed a factory firmware update from my Ubuntu system and attempted to reset -- no joy. This morning, I used Nexus Root Toolkit from my Windows 8 machine to see if I could get it up. Root Tool kit worked fine, pushed the images over again and restarted but it continues to hang at the Google logo.
Looking for any other advice folks may have on getting the device to boot.
EDIT: I can get to the bootloader fine and the computer recognizes it.

We dined here on a recent business trip. The food was superb and we were glad we had an early reservation because it filled up quickly after 8:00. The restaurant is quaint and we were serenaded by a live jazz band, which was nice, but with the full restaurant, it added to the difficulty in carrying a conversation. Definitely worth a taste, but would recommend going early or expect to struggle carrying a conversation amongst the other diners.

Are we ready? Oregon business and disaster preparedness
|| Print |
While sitting in the two-hour traffic nightmare on I-5 north of Vancouver during the snowstorm a couple of weeks ago, I was nervously watching my gas gauge and wishing I had not previously raided the granola bars from my emergency kit. Living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest means enjoying our wonderful surroundings, while remaining aware of the multiple types of natural disaster threats that we face: winter storms, windstorms, floods, landslides, earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis.
"Are we ready?" is a cliché we hear on the news within hours of these disasters. For Oregon businesses, the importance of the underlying message cannot be understated. According to the Institute for Business and Home Safety, an estimated 25 percent of businesses do not reopen following a major disaster. Similar research by the Insurance Information Institute indicated up to 40 percent of businesses fail after a disaster, and only 43 percent feel prepared to handle an extensive emergency.
Oregon businesses are not immune to this pattern of unpreparedness. A 2011 Oregon Business disaster preparedness survey showed that more than 80 percent of the 513 responding businesses were only somewhat or not well prepared for a disaster.
While I'm not an expert in disaster preparedness and business continuity planning, I have been fortunate in my work and community activities to discover some useful tips and resources that may be helpful to you and your business.
Since joining GeoEngineers last year, I have become aware of two basic tools our company uses to prepare for the variety of disasters that may strike our offices. Each of our 13 offices has developed an Emergency Action Plan tailored to its specific location (climate, potential hazards and building type). Each plan includes a map of building evacuation routes, an outside location for meeting after an evacuation, standard procedures for specific disaster scenarios, staff training (including regular drills) and recordkeeping. The plan identifies responsibilities for staff member response actions, along with communication "trees" and backup contacts. Close coordination with building owners and managers is key, especially in high-rise buildings with hundreds of tenants and site-specific evacuation procedures.
Our other disaster preparation tool is having a Business Continuity Plan for each GeoEngineers office that provides a stepwise approach to minimizing business disruption in the event of a local disaster. Our plans include a chain of command, responsibilities by staff function and a comprehensive list of internal and external resources critical to conduct our business.
Our Business Continuity Plans and Emergency Action Plans are designed to be applied in conjunction with each other. An example of our disaster plans in action occurred when Hurricane Isaac hit Louisiana in August 2012. Our Baton Rouge location closed its office as part of its Emergency Action Plan, and then forwarded calls to our office in Springfield, Missouri, as part of its Business Continuity Plan. These two plans together ensured the safety of our employees and continuity of service to our clients.
Here are some basic disaster preparation concepts that might be helpful:
Hopefully this blog post has served as part of the first step for being informed. To help with the next steps, here are some useful resources.

The Lincoln Memorial was shut down on Friday after a group vandalized the statue with green paint the night before.
The vandals splashed green paint onto the statue of the United States 16th president. No symbols or words were created with the paint. Workers are have used powers washers to remove most of the paint, and are scrubbing higher up parts of the statue by hand. The steps leading up to the memorial were opened up at 10:13 a.m., and park officials say the rest of the memorial will be opened up once all of the paint is removed, reports The Washington Post.
Park Police used bright yellow tape to close off the memorial after discovering it had been vandalized. Authorities believe that the statue was vandalized around 1:30 a.m., Friday, reports The Washington Post. Read

Dangerous products
"What is the EU doing to protect me from dangerous products?"
If a dangerous product is found in one country, information on the product is passed on to the
other EU countries via a rapid alert system called "RAPEX" (Rapid Alert System for Non-Food Products). The system
facilitates cooperation between national and European authorities to track down dangerous products and remove them
quickly from the market. A similar system called "RASFF" (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed) is in place for food.
Certain categories of products or substances presenting a safety or health risk may be banned from the
EU market. The use of plastic softeners called phthalates, which can be toxic when ingested by young children, has been
banned in the manufacture of toys since the late 1990s.
In 2006, the European Commission also prohibited the marketing of disposable lighters not equipped
with a child-resistant mechanism.
This decision has been amended on 12 April 2007.
On 29 November 2007 EU Member states endorsed European Commission plans to draw up proposals for a
standard to combat the leading cause of home fire fatalities each year. The new standard will require tobacco companies
to sell only cigarettes which have a safety requirement in their design so they go out more quickly if left unattended.
The European Commission will take a formal decision on the mandate for a standard in Spring 2008.
Please refer to this page for details: :
Legislation on lighters
Food-imitating products and magnets
There is also the Directive on dangerous imitations prohibits the marketing, import and manufacture of
products that look like foodstuffs but that are not in fact edible and on magnets.
In the absence of specific safety requirements for magnets in toys and awaiting the revision of the
relevant standard, in 2008 the Commission will use provisions of Article 13 of the General Product Safety Directive to
draft a targeted measure, requiring appropriate warnings about the dangers of magnets in toys.
Further information:
The Directive on dangerous imitations prohibits the marketing, import and manufacture of products that look like foodstuffs but that are not in fact edible.

Both deals aimed to get AT&T (ticker: T) more spectrum space to deliver data. Most customers complain about the lack of network coverage from every wireless company, but particularly AT&T. The company was the first in North America to carry vast amounts of smartphone data, as the first carrier to sell the Apple iPhone. Even the late Steve Jobs was surprised at the early surge in demand because of the device's success.
Barron's was positive about the T-Mobile bid in features like "The Calculus Behind AT&T's T-Mobile Deal" (March 28) and some subsequent Plugged In columns. We believed the $39 billion offer to Deutsche Telekom (DTE.Germany) for its U.S. unit was the fastest and most efficient way for AT&T to gain spectrum and improve its network infrastructure. T-Mobile uses the same wireless technology as AT&T, called Global System for Mass Communications, explains Craig Moffett, analyst at Sanford Bernstein. That fact has been lost in some of the subsequent rumor mongering about hook-ups between T-Mobile and other carriers, such as Sprint s 0.635593220338983% Sprint Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD4.75 0.03 0.635593220338983% /Date(1427749228459-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 8617387 AFTER HOURS USD4.8 0.0499999999999998 1.0526315789473684% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 227904 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 18681008993.8307 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 931368 More quote details and news » (S), which uses another standard called "code division multiple access."
We've been longtime supporters of the shares, in part because of AT&T's generous dividend yield of 5.9% and limited downside in a volatile market ("Don't Hang Up on AT&T," Nov. 23, 2009). That hasn't changed, and we expect AT&T to continue to invest in its infrastructure. Recent approval of a 5% share buyback should also help.
As mind-boggling as a $4 billion fee ($1 billion is in radio spectrum) is, we still believe the bid was worth the risk. "I don't think that because they tried and failed with this merger that it was a strategic error," says Moffett. We agree. Moffett had given the offer a 65% chance of success at the time it was made.
The big risk was regulatory. AT&T bet that both the Federal Communications Commission and the Justice Department would see the benefits of the deal. The Justice Department turned it down flat; AT&T decided not to fight its decision in court.
A little context should also help investors put T-Mobile in the rear-view mirror. Already set aside by AT&T in November, the fee amounts to less than two months of AT&T's wireless cash flow. Overall, wireless is expected to generate about $24 billion in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in 2012. While the fee "stings," AT&T's cash flow can absorb the hit, says Nomura analyst Mike McCormack, who rates the stock a Buy with a 34 target.
Taking out a bit more sting was the FCC approval of the Qualcomm (QCOM) deal, which gives AT&T added spectrum for its fourth-generation, or 4G, wireless network.
AT&T shares were trading near $30 on Friday, which pretty accurately projects its near-term outlook. Moffett rates the stock "Market Perform" with a $30 target. The shares' most appealing facet remains the fat dividend, which alone makes the stock worthwhile.

Good Payday Coming for Rental Outfit's Shareholders
Sometimes, it pays to be patient. Shareholders of construction-equipment rental firm RSC Holdings (ticker: RRR) learned that when RSC announced on Dec. 16 that it had agreed to be taken over by its chief rival, United Rentals URI 2.0099944475291505% United Rentals Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD91.86 1.81 2.0099944475291505% /Date(1427749367429-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1212829 AFTER HOURS USD91.8 -0.0600000000000023 -0.06531678641410843% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 18063 P/E Ratio 16.674532583045924 Market Cap 8727826131.9641 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 454800 More quote details and news » (URI), for cash and stock worth $18 when the deal was disclosed—a 58% premium over the previous close.
The premium is a handsome reward to investors for holding a position under fire. RSC has been whip-sawed this year by concerns about the economy.
The final price will be set when the sale closes, probably in 2012's second quarter. Upon closing, each RSC share will be converted into $10.80 in cash and 0.2783 of a United Rentals share.
We've been bullish on RSC since our first look at the Scottsdale, Ariz., company ("Moving Heaven and Earth," April 13, 2009), when its stock was at $5.19. In a follow-up article published on Jan. 31 of this year, we urged investors to hang on to their shares—then trading at $11.77.
Most analysts see further gains before the closing. At United Rentals' share price of $29.73 late last week, the deal was worth $19.07. But RSC's shares had moved up only to $18.56, providing an arbitrage opportunity. By the time the transaction, which will create North America's largest equipment-rental firm, is finalized, bulls say the stock could easily pass RSC's peak price of $22, hit in July 2007. The deal is unlikely to face regulatory hurdles or attract other bidders.
The merger could prove to be a winner thereafter, too, if the economy doesn't tank. Both RSC and United Rentals are performing well and, combined, will be stronger. The merger is expected to result in cost savings of at least $200 million a year. In addition, United Rentals' chief financial officer, Bill Plummer, has said, "The transaction will be significantly cash-accretive." Sounds like a win-win for the companies and investors.

Is DGI's Fall Over?

But after that awful performance, the stock could be ready to revive.
The shares (ticker: DGI), near $32 when we wrote about them, recently were around $16. They have been hammered by an unexpected CEO transition and worries that DGI's main service—providing high-resolution pictures for mapping, monitoring and surveying to government and private businesses—will be hurt by the sluggish economy and U.S. budget cuts. Work for U.S. spy and defense agencies accounts for about 62% of the company's revenue.
But third-quarter results gave cause for hope. The Longmont, Colo., firm reported net income of $1.1 million, or two cents a share, versus $800,000 and two cents, respectively, the year before. (The latest net income excludes $23.2 million in revenue that must be deferred for accounting purposes.) Cash flow from operations was up 40.2% in the nine months through Sept. 30. For all of 2011, management sees earnings of 10 cents to 20 cents a share on $330 million to $355 million in revenue, versus nine cents on $322 million in 2010. "We are well positioned for a strong 2012," new CEO Jeffrey R. Tarr said in a statement accompanying the earnings report.
Some analysts think worries about reduced intelligence funding are overdone, noting that Washington used photos supplied by DGI and rival GeoEye (GEOY) to verify accounts of a huge explosion last month at an Iranian uranium-refining plant.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, charged with providing imagery and maps to the U.S. military, renewed a contract for federal fiscal year 2012, which began Oct. 1. That contract, awarded in August 2010, is worth $7.3 billion over 10 years and is split roughly evenly between DigitalGlobe and GeoEye. "Expectations on the Street are for drastic cuts, but the probability of that is low," says Andrea James, an analyst with Dougherty & Co. in Minneapolis, who rates DGI a buy with a 12-month price target of $38. "Commercial satellite imagery is thoroughly woven into U.S. intelligence strategy," she says. In fact, she sees 15% annual revenue growth for DGI over the next five years.
