United Airlines online booking bungle lets customers buy FIRST CLASS flights to Hong Kong for just $33 (and four reward miles)
- Carrier refusing to honour the cheap tickets unless passengers have already commenced their journey
- Thousands of fliers estimated to have snapped up the flights as word spread online
- Could be hit with $27,500 fine for each ticket sold as companies are banned from hiking the price of a good or service after a customer has paid for it
United Airlines customers with reward miles were able to snap up return flights to Hong Kong worth $10,250 for a mere $33 on the weekend - but the company is refusing to honour the bargain-basement tickets.
A computer glitch in the United Airlines booking system meant members of the carrier's MileagePlus program were able to book economy, business class and first class tickets for just four miles, plus taxes and fees, which amounts to just $33.
A round-trip flight from New York to Hong Kong costs around $8,500 or 120,000 frequent flier miles in business and in first class costs $10,250 or 140,000 miles.
Bungle: United Airlines customers with reward miles were able to snap up return flights to Hong Kong for a mere $33 and four reward points
News of the carrier's bungle spread like wildfire on internet chat rooms and blogs, prompting scores of fliers to snap up the cheap tickets - although United Airlines refused to say how many.
Ben Schlappig, who runs the site One Mile at a Time, advised people to keep quiet on the error, saying, 'there's no need to bring further attention to this pricing.'
The airline's website didn't advertise the tickets for four miles - its search and flight-selection screens and its mileage-award charts showed the correct number.
But passengers who clicked on the booking system to book a flight to, from or through Hong Kong and had insufficient reward miles were charged just four miles, plus taxes and fees.

In a statement on Friday, the airline said it had fixed the blunder and would only honor the cheap tickets for passengers who had already commenced travel and needed to get home.

- An IT meltdown at U.S. Bank saw scores of banking customers unable to use their debit cards at ATMs, restaurants or grocery stores - 2010
It also said it would return the $33 cost of taxes and fees to opportunistic would-be passengers.
'We have corrected the error and will cancel tickets at no cost and waive all fees for customers who were issued tickets without sufficient miles in their accounts to complete their transactions,' a spokesman said.
'However, if those customers have already begun their travel, we will provide return air transportation.'
Customers who booked the cheap tickets and had enough reward miles to actually pay the full amount for their trip to Hong Kong had the correct number deducted from their accounts and will travel as planned.
Some of the people who booked tickets complained to the Department of Transport, which is now investigating the carrier's error.
It recently introduced new rules banning companies from hiking the price of goods and services after the customer has completed the purchase.
'Our rule on post-purchase price increases applies to frequent flier tickets, particularly when they also entail cash payments,' DOT spokesman Bill Mosley said, but he added that the department had not yet 'reached any conclusions.'
The maximum penalty for violating the new rule is $27,500 and each ticket sold by United could be considered a separate violation.

J.Crew Tartine Satchel
|By: Michelle M.
Cobalt blue is not my favorite color, but this J.Crew Tartine Satchel has me rethinking its ranking. This deep shade of blue is really put to the test on such a simple bag, and I think it passes with flying colors. It's ultra-sophisticated yet practical — I can easily imagine wearing this shade as a neutral against other, more vivid colors — but despite its grown-up allure, it doesn't tread into mom-purse territory. Get it for $325 at jcrew.com.

A Philippine action movie hero-turned senator turned himself in on Friday after an anti-graft court ordered his arrest on plunder charges, another step in the country's bid to shed its image as one of the most corrupt in Asia.
President Benigno Aquino took office in 2010 on a promise of good governance and battling graft. He has made some progress, and enjoys popularity ratings of more than 70 per cent, although he has failed to eradicate the problem.
The senator, Ramon ''Bong'' Revilla, turned himself in at the anti-corruption court, known as Sandiganbayan, after travelling in a convoy with family members and supporters from his home in Cavite province, south of the capital, Manila.
''I will rise again,'' an emotional Revilla, who has declared his intention to run for president in 2016, told supporters.
He insisted he has done nothing wrong and was a victim of political persecution. He and his family wore white clothes to symbolise innocence.
''I am ready to go to jail,'' he said.Prosecutors were not listening to reason, he said, adding: ''But I hope the court will be fair and I will have the chance to clear my name.''
He faces life imprisonment and forfeiture of any assets he may have illegally acquired if found guilty of pocketing more than US$5.11 million (NZ$5.85m) from congressional funds from 2007 to 2010.
The Office of the Ombudsman, the prosecutor in this case, says Revilla funnelled the funds, known as ''pork barrel'' funds, to non-existent non-government organisations for agricultural projects.
The money was then ploughed back to him, several government officials and a businesswoman who devised the scheme, prosecutors say.
Revilla is the first lawmaker to be arrested on a charge of plunder in connection with the misuse of congressional funds. Aquino abolished such funds last year as part of his fight against graft.
Two other opposition senators face similar charges: Juan Ponce Enrile, a 90-year-old former senate president and a hero of a 1986 pro-democracy ''people power'' uprising, and Jose ''Jinggoy'' Estrada, a son of former president and Manila City Mayor Joseph Estrada.
The elder Estrada was ousted from power in 2001 and was convicted of plunder six years later. But he was pardoned by former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, now under detention and facing similar plunder charges for wrongdoing during her nine years in office.
All three senators are on banned from leaving the country.
The government loses about US$4.57m a year to corruption, or about 1.8 per cent of economic output, Aquino has said.
Critics say graft has drained government coffers and entrenched poverty in the country of 97 million people.
But things have improved under Aquino and last year the Philippines moved 11 places up the rankings of anti-corruption watchdog, Transparency International, reaching the 94th spot out of 177 countries.
In 2012, the Philippines was ranked 105th, a significant improvement from 129th in 2011. Six years ago, under the previous administration, it was at the 141 spot.
But problems persist and some of Aquino's political allies are facing graft investigations and the smuggling of commodities, such as rice, is rampant.The case against Revilla stemmed from the testimony of three whistleblowers concerning the diversion of funds from a congressional Priority Development Assistance Fund.
His lawyer, Joel Bodegon, said the case should be dismissed as it had no merit.''Senator Revilla denies having received a single peso,'' Bodegon told reporters.

Saturday Night & Sunday Morning, Leeds
"Don't let the bastards get you down," is the cry of Arthur Seaton, the antihero of Alan Sillitoe's portrait of grimy northern England in the 1950s. Seaton is a factory worker who knows that there must be more to life than grinding work and the values of his parents who are "dead from the neck up", but, ill-educated and frustrated, he makes choices that are circumscribed by his background. When he meets a girl at a pub one night, his choices begin to narrow further. Amanda Whittington has written eloquently about the limited choices faced by pregnant girls in the 1960s in Be My Baby, and here she adapts Sillitoe's screenplay for a stage production that begins in Harrogate and then transfers to the Oldham Coliseum.

Shining City, on tour
Another haunting tale from Conor McPherson, wherein former priest Ian has lost his faith and would like to lose his wife and child, and where sales rep John has recently lost his wife in a car accident. Ian is a therapist and it is to him that John turns when he can no longer deal with guilt that his wife died at a time when husband and wife were not talking. McPherson is a consummate storyteller, and this play culminates in a moment so shocking that it left audiences gasping on its Royal Court premiere.

Habeas Corpus, Colchester
The English are rubbish, and no more so than in Alan Bennett's 1973 play, which is like a series of saucy seaside postcards. Featuring a Sussex doctor, his buxom wife and a randy priest, all in search of sexual satisfaction, this has the characters frequently dropping their trousers while trying to keep their defences and respectability intact. The show gives more than a passing nod (and wink) at the revue and the end of the pier; when deftly directed, it can also lead the audience on a merry dance as well as a dance of death.
· Mercury Theatre, to Mar 15
The Mother Ship, Birmingham
Not so long ago, writing for young people was left pretty well to companies doing work exclusively with children and teenagers, but increasingly it is going mainstream. This is partially due to the success of companies such as Pilot - whose shows like Looking For JJ have broad appeal - and in part because the National suddenly woke up to the fact that, in its annual Connections season, it had some excellent writing that cried out for a wider showing. It is also thanks to a generation of writers including Phil Porter (whose The Cracks In My Skin is playing in Manchester) and Douglas Maxwell, who write so brilliantly about and for teenagers. Maxwell, whose career began with the superb Decky Does A Bronco, has gone on to write terrific plays that explore teenage experience. His latest focuses on 18-year-old Eliot, who is suffering the stresses and strains of adolescence. Then his disabled brother goes missing and Eliot gets a call from outer space. So, just another ordinary day in suburbia, then.
· The Door, Birmingham Rep, to Mar 15
God Of Carnage, London
Yasmina Reza has been away from the London stage for a while. Following her big break with the three-hander Art, her last showing was with Life X 3, so there's plenty of anticipation for her new play, not least because of the cast: Ralph Fiennes, Tamsin Greig, Janet McTeer and Ken Stott. It's the story of two sets of parents who meet up to discuss the bad behaviour of their offspring. What starts as a reasoned debate about how to make their children conduct themselves properly ends up with the adults setting a pretty poor example. With yob culture, tots with tantrums and supernannies on TV, it's a topical subject. Matthew Warchus directs, fresh from his triumph with Speed-The-Plow at the Old Vic.

The Deep Blue Sea, on tour
This revival of Terence Rattigan's 1952 play about obsessive love clearly has its eye on the West End, but its emotional heartland is in the green fields of Surrey, repressed emotions and stiff upper lips. Set in the wake of the second world war, it tells of clergyman's daughter and judge's wife Hester Collyer (played by award-winning actress Greta Scacchi), who throws away her quiet, comfortable and well-ordered life when she conceives a passion for Freddie Page (Dugald Bruce-Lockhart), a former Battle of Britain pilot who has wasted his life since the end of the war. The relationship is, of course, doomed, and life becomes increasingly unbearable for Hester as her options begin to fall away. It is a great play, powered perhaps by Rattigan's homosexuality and his own impossible love, that captures the madness and destructive power of love. Edward Hall directs.
· Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham, Sat 1; Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford, Mon 3 to Mar 8
Year Of The Rat, Leeds
It is 1948 and, following the success of Animal Farm, George Orwell is struggling to finish his dystopian fantasy 1984. Sick with the TB that would kill him and struggling to work, he retreats to a Hebridean farmhouse. There he is interrupted by his love for the "Euston Road Venus", otherwise known as the editor Sonia Bronwell, the arrival of his friend, the debauched but entertaining Cyril Connolly, and the distracting appearances of his own literary creations: Boxer, Napoleon and Rat from Animal Farm. Writer Roy Smiles has apparently been obsessed with Orwell since he was a boy, and this play should be a cut above the normal theatre biography. Hugo Speers plays Orwell, and Alan Strachan directs.
· West Yorkshire Playhouse, Fri 7 to Apr 5
The Viewing Room, London
Another topical drama, this time from America and Chicago's acclaimed Steppenwolf Theatre, on a problem that has raised its head on both sides of the Atlantic: prison overcrowding. Daniel Joshua Rubin's The Viewing Room offers a "solution" in the billeting of convicted criminals in the homes of ordinary people. Out of social duty, a young couple volunteer to take in a soon-to-be-released prisoner, but find matters taking a sinister turn as their home is packed with surveillance equipment and their trust is betrayed by the authorities. Leonard Roberts, best known from BBC2's cult show Heroes, stars in the production, and proceeds from the gala opening (Wed 5) will go to Amnesty International.

PHOENIX, Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- This week, Steven G. Zylstra, chairman of Technology Councils of North America (TECNA) and president and CEO of the Arizona Technology Council is joining TechVoice to advocate for the technology sector priorities on Capitol Hill during the organization's annual fly-in to Washington, D.C. TechVoice, a partnership of CompTIA and TECNA works to provide a voice to technology companies on Capitol Hill.
Taking place February 11 and 12, Zylstra will also be joined by two prominent executives of Arizona Technology Council member companies; Mary Juetten, founder, CEO of Traklight and Russ Perry, managing director, NSB/Keane USA. All will be meeting with Arizona Congressional representatives including Sen. Jeff Flake and Rep Matt Salmon, Rep. Ron Barber, Rep. David Schweikert, Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, and Rep. Trent Franks. In addition, the delegation will be meeting with the staffs of Rep. Raul Grijalva, Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick and Rep. Ed Pastor.
The purpose of the meetings is to focus attention on policies and issues that affect the technology sector including patent reform, counter abusive patent litigation tactics by so-called "patent trolls", ensuring tax reform is fair to technology SMBs (Small- and Medium-Sized Businesses); and immigration reform that includes making it easier to recruit and retain the 'best and the brightest' of high-tech workers in an effort to close the skills gap and remain globally competitive.
"Technology sector innovation is a key force behind a strong 21st century economy and, Congress should focus on the central role that high-growth startups must play to assure continued U.S. economic strength," said Zylstra. "Virtually all of the growth in U.S. jobs has been driven by the formation of firms less than five years old, and these new firms have been disproportionately responsible for commercializing the cutting-edge innovations that characterize modern life."
This is the sixth year that the Arizona Technology Council has participated in the TechVoice Fly-In led by Zylstra.
"As the technology sector grapples with the implementation of 2014 Congressional priorities, TechVoice will continue to facilitate open discourse between legislators and small and medium-sized technology businesses," said Todd Thibodeaux, president and CEO of CompTIA. "Through a balanced, multi-policy approach that incorporates the needs of hiring businesses, Congress can boost economic growth nationwide."

South Africa showed why they are the number one test team in the world with a clinical performance on day four of the second test against Pakistan to clinch the series with a four-wicket victory.
Excellent bowling in the morning session was backed up with steady batting under the hot sun as they chased down a victory target of 182.
South Africa now lead the three-match series 2-0 with one match remaining in Centurion starting on February 22.
Hashim Amla anchored their chase with an enterprising 58 from 96 balls that drained the belief from the Pakistan bowlers.
The tourists picked up some late wickets to allow spinner Saeed Ajmal to record match figures of 10 for 147, but by then the game was lost.
Starting their innings 30 minutes after lunch having bowled Pakistan out for 169 in their second innings, the home side lost the early wicket of Alviro Petersen lbw to Umar Gul for one.
Graeme Smith (29) then became Ajmal's first victim of the innings when he was also trapped in front going on the sweep, the second time in the test he has been out in that fashion.
Jacques Kallis hit a brisk 21 before being dismissed lbw by Ajmal.
Amla was magnificent as he steered the ball all round the ground, but was bowled as he had an uncharacteristic wild swing at an Ajmal delivery, bringing an end to his fine knock.
AB de Villiers (36) also played a reckless flashing cut that was caught by wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed off Tanvir Ahmed to give the bowler his only wicket of the test.
Faf du Plessis (15) was lbw to Ajmal with two runs needed, but Dean Elgar (11 not out) smashed the winning runs.
Perhaps fittingly, he was at the crease at the time with man of the match Robin Peterson (1 not out), who had changed the course of the match with his 84 on Saturday and fine bowling on the fourth morning.
The victory was set up by South Africa taking seven Pakistan wickets for the addition of 69 runs.
The tourists resumed on 100 for three, but it was not long before the hosts had their first breakthrough.
Misbah-ul-Haq attempted a poorly executed sweep off Peterson and sent a top-edge flying to Graeme Smith at leg slip, the batsman departing for a patient 44.
Asad Shafiq (19) was next to go, unlucky to see the ball bounce onto the stumps after it looped up following his back-foot defensive shot off Vernon Philander.
Then came a collapse that rocked Pakistan as they lost three wickets in as many balls.
Sarfraz Ahmed (five) left a Peterson delivery that turned out of the leg-side rough and cannoned into his stumps.
It was the last ball of the spinner's over, with Philander taking up the attack from the other end and getting wickets with his first two balls.
Ali had reached his 14th test half-century when he edged to wicketkeeper AB de Villiers for 65, and Gul lasted one delivery as he was brilliantly caught by a diving Petersen at third slip.
Ajmal (four) was bowled around his legs by Peterson and Mohammad Irfan (two) was the last wicket down as he fended a Dale Steyn bouncer to Petersen in the slips.
Philander ended with match figures of nine for 99.

Binet, Alfred (1857–1911), a French experimental psychologist. The Binet-Simon Scale of Intelligence (1905, revised 1908 and 1911), by Binet and Theodore Simon, was the first successful standardized intelligence test. The scale led to the first use of the terms "mental age" and "intelligence quotient" (IQ). Translated and revised by other psychologists, the scale became the basis for several widely used tests of intelligence. Binet was born in Nice. He studied at the Sorbonne and became director of a psychological laboratory. Binet and Simon developed the intelligence test at the request of the minister of public instruction, who wanted a diagnostic tool to help identify mentally retarded children.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Duncan Tucker | 23 Dec 2013 06:43 GMT | Politics, Latin America, Mexico
Tlajomulco de Zuniga, Mexico - Mexican politics has long been undermined by a lack of trust and transparency, with the public holding little faith in officials notorious for indulging in acts of corruption. But in one small corner of the country, a remarkable transformation has taken place in the last four years - one that could provide a model for building a more open and democratic society.
In 2009 the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zuniga had one of the least accountable governments in Mexico. Now, governed by the liberal Citizens' Movement, it boasts the most transparent administration in the country, according to Cimtra, a nonprofit accountability watchdog coalition.
By adopting a number of innovative and progressive policies, Mayor Ismael del Toro and his predecessor Enrique Alfaro have won the confidence of their constituents and succeeded in engaging them in the local political process. A considerable achievement given that the political parties, local and state police forces and city governments are considered the least trustworthy of 22 public institutions, according to a 2012 survey by Parametria, a Mexican pollster and market research firm.
Endemic corruption
Mexico was a one-party state for much of the last century, with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) ruling from 1939 until 2000. Politicians were largely unaccountable and enjoyed immunity from prosecution while in office up to as recently as March 2013, when Congress passed a law stripping all but the president of this legal protection.
Since Mexico made the transition to democracy its rating in Transparency International's Corruptions Perceptions Index has actually worsened, falling from 37 in 2001 to 34 in 2013 (with 0 being 'highly corrupt' and 100 being 'very clean').
But Tlajomulco has bucked that trend. The municipal government has facilitated greater public participation in decision making and taken the bold step of introducing referendums that enable voters to revoke its mandate to govern if dissatisfied with its performance.
As a result of such policies, the del Toro administration became the first to receive a perfect score of 100 in Cimtra's 2013 study of government transparency. This stands in stark contrast to its previous score of 34.2 in 2009 when the right-wing National Action Party (PAN) was in power.
Some citizens, such as retired Tlajomulco resident Cesar remain sceptical of such studies. "I don't believe it," he told Al Jazeera. "Politicians are all the same. They're all corrupt."
Others like Manuel, a local construction worker, have been left with a better impression. "Of course I think they're doing a good job," he told Al Jazeera. "They're giving out free school equipment and uniforms, that's really great because there are a lot of poor people here in Tlajomulco. It's good that the government has got its act together," he said.
The most important thing is that you win the trust of the public. This brings other benefits, like the payment of taxes, which has risen by 30 percent each year because people are beginning to trust the government.
- Ismael del Toro, Mayor of Tlajomulco de Zuniga ,
Cimitria Zepeda, who tends a stall near Tlajomulco's tranquil central plaza, told Al Jazeera that she has much more confidence in del Toro than past mayors, who "crushed us instead of supporting us."
"This is a government that fulfils its promises. The mayor and his whole administration are all very humble and accessible," Zepeda said.
Raising public revenue
Mexico's federal government is currently pushing fiscal reforms with the aim of increasing tax revenue, but del Toro believes that economic performance can also be improved by enhancing transparency and reducing corruption.
Tlajomulco's finances have certainly prospered since the Citizens' Movement took power. Having slashed unnecessary expenditure and encouraged the payment of taxes, the government has doubled its budget from 860 million pesos in 2009 to 1.6 bn in 2014, del Toro told Al Jazeera at his office in the Tlajomulco Administrative Centre, an impressive, modern facility constantly buzzing with activity.
"The most important thing is that you win the trust of the public," del Toro said. "This brings other benefits, like the payment of taxes, which has risen by 30 percent each year because people are beginning to trust the government."
This is no easty feat in a country where half of the workers labour in the informal economy and total tax revenue is lower than in any other nation in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The increase in tax returns was spurred by the adoption of a "participatory budget" in which citizens vote on what their taxes should be spent on at the start of each fiscal year. Adopted four years ago, the policy is unique to Tlajomulco, according to Raul Hernandez, who works for the municipal government in business development.
"When you pay taxes, you have the option to say what the money should be used for. There is a public survey with various options and whichever gets the most votes is then carried out," Hernandez told Al Jazeera.
"This has enabled citizens to see that their taxes really are used in public works and services, and this has led to the municipality reclaiming more resources," del Toro told Al Jazeera. "This entitles it to receive more resources from the federal government, which rewards you for strong financial management."
Enhancing security
"The economic problems and the lack of opportunities and education for young people are at the base of the problem. It's very easy for a young person to turn to crime so we must work to fortify the national economy and generate employment and opportunities in order to combat the root cause of the problem," del Toro told Al Jazeera.
"We are constantly working to bring greater investment to create jobs in the municipality. We are also working to recover public spaces and we've built a network of 17 public sports facilities, where we organize sporting and cultural events," he added. The aim of such initiatives is to encourage young people to engage with their community and resist the allures of gang life, del Toro explained.
A sprawling industrial district in the western state of Jalisco, Tlajomulco made international headlines in February 2012 when the Mexican army seized what it claimed was a record haul of 15 tons of methamphetamine at a laboratory hidden amidst the sun-baked scrubland.
Although fighting organized crime remains a top priority, del Toro believes that military force is not necessarily the most effective means of doing so.
Clamping down on corruption is an important aspect of the war on drugs. The Mexican government is currently in the process of evaluating the trustworthiness of every police officer in the country. Many officers have been found to be on the payroll of organized crime and it is not uncommon for entire forces to be dismissed, as occurred in the Pacific port of Lazaro Cardenas in November.
"We are working to strengthen our police force," del Toro told Al Jazeera. His administration is currently in the process of firing over 100 municipal police officers who failed recent evaluations, although it does not yet have the resources to replace them all.
Beyond Tlajomulco
Del Toro notes with pride that some of his party's more popular policies are now being replicated outside of his municipality.
"Our programme for free backpacks and equipment for schools has already transcended Tlajomulco," he told Al Jazeera. Launched four years ago by his predecessor, Alfaro, the programme was extended to every municipality in Jalisco by the state government in August.
However, if the Citizens' Movement is to export its model of transparency then it may need to win control of the state, as del Toro noted that other administrations across Mexico are simply "not interested" in prioritizing the issue.
"One of our objectives as a party is to govern the state in 2018," del Toro said, although he refused to be drawn out on whether he plans to run for governor.
The Citizen's Movement currently governs 90 municipalities across Mexico, including nine in Jalisco, most notably the Pacific resort of Puerto Vallarta.
The party came within four percentage points of winning the state governorship in 2012.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading shopping site PriceGrabber.com® today revealed the latest online shopping behavior and trends over the busiest shopping period of the year. The findings indicated that Black Friday has turned into "Black Week," with sales starting earlier and deals extending later. PriceGrabber experienced a 14 percent year-over-year growth in traffic this year from Thanksgiving until Cyber Monday, signifying that more consumers are using the internet for research, price comparison and purchasing gifts. As expected, Cyber Monday was PriceGrabber's biggest day last weekend with 20 percent more traffic than Black Friday. Consumer shopping behavior is based on PriceGrabber data and website analytics from Nov. 22 to Nov. 26, 2012.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121130/LA21637-INFO)
"This year, Black Friday leaked into Thanksgiving and extended into the weekend, while Cyber Monday deals were stretched to Tuesday, as we saw strong online activity starting on Thanksgiving Day and continuing throughout the week," said Steve Krenzer, CEO of PriceGrabber.com. "We expect this 'Black Week' trend to continue next year, as retailers try to get in front of consumers earlier, and keep them engaged by offering compelling deals throughout the week – which is great news for shoppers. As a result of this new trend, shoppers this season had more time to take advantage of discounts, resulting in a consistent year-over-year growth in visits and page views."
Mobile device traffic increases
Shoppers are taking advantage of having the internet in their back pocket. Traffic from smartphones and tablets have increased significantly compared to 2011, with 27 percent of total traffic originating through a mobile device over the Thanksgiving weekend, an increase of over 116 percent compared to the same period in 2011. It is worth noting that on Black Friday, PriceGrabber saw significantly more mobile traffic than on Cyber Monday. Increased mobile volume was an indication of some show-rooming and price matching but consumer intent stayed strong as sales completion rate was within the normal range for mobile devices.
Top category trends
Tablets and eReaders were among the highest growth channels this holiday weekend, with an 81 percent year-over-year traffic increase, and a modest 3 percent decline in average order price driven by the introduction of lower cost tablets such as the iPad Mini®. Smartphones were also among the highest growth categories with 60 percent year-over-year increase in volume and a 16 percent drop in average price compared to last year. Other popular categories included headphones with a 51 percent year-over-year growth in volume and an average price of $162.
The TV category was the top searched page over the weekend and PriceGrabber saw huge discounts with the average price declining by 10 percent year-over-year. However, volume stayed relatively flat compared to last year, showing that the discounts did not result in increased demand. The price of digital cameras increased by 14 percent this year to an average of $612. We believe this increase is due to the introduction of higher end SLR cameras. However, overall traffic declined by 6 percent, indicating that improved smartphone cameras are taking share from the expensive SLRs. MP3 Players and GPS devices experienced the sharpest decline in traffic with almost 40 percent fewer visits this holiday weekend compared to last year.
TRENDING PRODUCTS (Nov. 22 to Nov. 26, 2012)
The Latitude™ ST from Dell® was the most popular product and tablet over the weekend, followed closely by the Samsung® Galaxy Tab® 2. PriceGrabber also saw high activity on the Asus® Google® Nexus 7® and the iPad®.
Samsung® was the top brand with the UN46EH5000 46" LED TV, the UN32EH4003F 32" LED TV and the PN51E530 51" Plasma TV. The Mitsubishi® WD-73C12 73" DLP Projection TV was also among the most popular TVs.
Both men and women's running shoes were extremely popular this year. Specifically there was high activity on New Balance® Men's MT810 trail running shoes in black/yellow. There was also high activity on outerwear, such as windbreakers, jackets, and fleece pullovers.
The Canon® EOS Rebel® T3i™ and T4i™ Camera Kits with 18-55mm lens were among the most popular products this year. The Nikon® D5100™ and D3100™ models of the black SLR digital camera kit with 18-55mm lens were also among the most popular cameras, followed by the Nikon® D7000™16.2 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera Body, as well as the Nikon® Coolpix® P510™ Black Digital Camera.
The Elf on the Shelf® Boy and activity book was the number one toy, followed by the Mini® power quad ride-on, LEGO® Ninjago® Epic Dragon Battle, and Hot Wheels® 3 Lane Plug In. The Hasbro® Furby®, Monster High® dolls, Easy Bake Oven®, Lionel Trains® The Scout® Steam Train Starter Set, and the Mattel® Barbie® Dream House Bundle were also among the top toys over Black Friday weekend.
Video Games
The top console was the Xbox 360® Black 250GB Console Kinect® Adventures Special Edition Bundle, also ranked in the top ten top products overall. In the video game category, the Wii® U Black 32 GB Console Deluxe Set was the second most popular console. Top games include Just Dance 4®, God of War® Saga Collection, Borderlands 2®, Madden NFL 13™, Assassin's Creed® 3, Skylanders® Giants Starter Kit, and Marvel Avengers®: Battle for Earth.

Just had a lovely meal here. Vegetable wrap and the Baba Ganush were excellent and the atmosphere was nice - a mix of locals and tourists. Service was good too :)
I was blown away by this place. Delicious food and great service. I tried the veggie wrap after a gym session which was perfect and came with sweet potato fries cooked in a very healthy way. I will be going back for sure to try the goulash. Best restaurant in KK and very reasonably priced.
A restaurant that uses market fresh produce (saw it being hand carried during our meal) and tastes like it!

Don't have the chocolate chilli beef! Everything else we had was excellent and reasonably priced. It is small and gets busy 7-8PM so may be worth booking in advance
Discoved this place just by walking pass by it in the street and noticing the specials board. The food was fresh and very tasty as a reasonable price, which is very rare in Kota Kinabalu. Loved the chicken quessadillas and the mediterranean salad. Service could be faster but the food was worth the wait.
We had dinner here and the food was really good

We'll remember your season preference for the rest of your visit.
You are viewing reviews from a season you previously selected.
Show all reviews
No reviews are available for the season you selected.
Pros: Clean room, very quiet, comfortable bed, affordable price
Cons: Breakfast doesn't start until 7 and we had to leave at 7. Coffee wasn't ready at 7. Quite a bit of debris at the bottom of the pool
This was the nicest Knights Inn I've encountered. Great shampoo stuff. Clean and comfy. Breakfast nothing special. A little stingy on tissue and tp. Had to ask for additional supplies. Usually KI are really on the budget scene but very nice and friendly overall.
We decided last minute to come to TS for a quick vacation and booked here. Knights Inn more than met out expectations! The location was great because it was on the "Strip" but far enough east that traffic wasn't insane! We'd certainly stay here again.
Wi-fi was even good!
I was impressed with this hotel. It is completely remodeled from its former life. We had a king room with jacuzzi which was nice after a 3 hour ride. It was close to downtown. Highly recommend unless you want (and are willing to pay for) finer accommodations.
Some people in the U.S. still have pride of ownership. American owned hotel.
Staff was not disinterested.
Hotel was clean down to the last one inch.
Lobby was very nice.
Price-Value was excellent
Can generate repeat customers.
This place looks like it has been well taken care of over the years. The rooms were updated and clean. We were very happy with it. We will definitely stay here next time we come to Traverse City! It is affordable and has continental breakfast too.
Stayed here for three nights while visiting the area of Sleeping Bear Dunes. Nothing fancy, just a basic motel room, but it was clean and comfortable and surprisingly quiet considering the place sits right on the main road through Traverse City. Never got around to getting online, so I can't speak to the wifi issues others have reported. Breakfast was...
The lobby looked new and was very nice. We stayed in the king room above the lobby and it was HUGE....very clean and looked recently updated. Like other reviews, the wifi kept dropping out (router is located midpoint in the bldg). The girls at the front desk were very helpful and checking was quick. Don't expect much from the continental...
Great price for a nice room. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. The breakfast was not very impressive but we only pay $54 a night so we didn't expect much. If you're looking for somewhere just to sleep, this is perfect. It's also the perfect location if you're visiting downtown Traverse City. We will definitely stay there...
The staff was friendly, the location is great for getting downtown and the price point was better than most hotels in the area. The room had some garbage on the floor from previous people staying there and the sink didn't drain well but still better than more expensive hotels that I have experienced.

India and Britain to sign health agreement
Chennai: India and Britain will soon sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the health sector for greater cooperation between the two countries, said a senior official.
Speaking to reporters here Friday Keshav Desiraju, additional secretary for health, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said: "The MoU will cover areas of common interest like the primary health-care, strengthening of non-communicable disease prevention, health research and the need for exchange of professionals - doctors."
He said there should be two way exchanges of doctors between India and Britain.
Queried about government`s plans to provide incentives to doctors to serve in rural areas, Desiraju referring to the Britain`s National Health System (NHS) said a regulatory mechanism is present for doctors to serve in areas where there is an acute need.
"In India, health is a state subject. We have to persuade the state to look at the ways to reach doctors and others to rural areas," Desiraju said.
Queried about NHS and her government`s plans to have private partnership Minister of Health, Britain, Anna Soubry said: "Medicines and equipments are bought from the private sector."
She said under NHS, the health-care is provided free to the people and the funds are met out of taxes.
Stating that the previous government had brought private sector into the NHS fold, Soubry said the present government is taking action so that a balance is maintained between public and private sectors.
Earlier inaugurating the two day Indo-UK Diabetes Summit Soubry said the NHS had faced several challenges.
She said India is a generation ahead in terms of medical technology.
According to her, diabetes is six times more common in South Asian ethnic groups in Britain.
