First ever detailed map of Mars` surface revealed!
Washington: The joint efforts of Arizona State University (ASU) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have brought out the most detailed global map of Mars` surface.
A heat-sensing camera designed at Arizona State University has provided data to create the most detailed global map which uses data from the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS), a nine-band visual and infrared camera on NASA`s Mars Odyssey orbiter.
A version of the map optimized for scientific researchers is available at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
The new Mars map was developed by the Geological Survey`s Robin Fergason at the USGS Astrogeology Science Center in Flagstaff, Ariz., in collaboration with researchers at ASU`s Mars Space Flight Facility.
Fergason said that they used more than 20,000 THEMIS nighttime temperature images to generate the highest resolution surface property map of Mars ever created and that these data are freely available to researchers and the public alike.
The new map uses nighttime temperature images to derive the "thermal inertia" which is a calculated value that represents how fast a surface heats up and cools off.
As per Ferguson, darker areas in the map are cooler at night, have a lower thermal inertia, and likely contain fine particles, such as dust, silt, or fine sand and the brighter regions are warmer and have surfaces with higher thermal inertia and consist coarser sand, surface crusts, rock fragments, bedrock, or combinations of these materials.
The designer and principal investigator for the THEMIS camera Philip Christensen stated that tremendous amount of effort has gone into this great global product, which will serve engineers, scientists, and the public for many years to come and this map provides data not previously available and it will enable regional and global studies of surface properties.
Fergason noted that NASA used THEMIS images to find safe landing sites for the Mars Exploration Rovers in 2004, and for Curiosity, the Mars Science Laboratory rover, in 2012, and now THEMIS images are now helping NASA select a landing site for its next Mars rover in 2020.

MISSING MAS FLIGHT: Vietnam's Phu Quoc island in spotlight amid search operations
Publication Date : 12-03-2014
Phu Quoc island is Vietnam's next big tourism hope. Its spanking new international airport opened two years ago and its roads are being transformed from dirt to tar.
Earlier this month, the government even granted a 30-day visa exemption for foreign visitors to this island.
However, the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 has thrust the island into international limelight quicker than imagined, as the Vietnamese authorities coordinate their search efforts from here.
Every day, helicopters scouring the seas for the missing jetliner take off and land from Phu Quoc International Airport's newly upgraded runway, while its air traffic control centre serves as a makeshift news centre for hordes of Vietnamese, Chinese as well as Malaysian reporters.
The last known position of the missing MAS plane was off the waters of Ca Mau province on the southern tip of Vietnam.
Hanoi is taking the search seriously, temporarily setting aside maritime disputes to allow Chinese search vessels into its seas and committing at least eight ships and seven aircraft to the search. Deputy prime minister Hoang Trung Hai also made a trip to Phu Quoc on Monday.
Despite several fruitless days searching for the passenger plane, Vietnamese Air Force Deputy Commander Do Minh Tuan Vietnam would not say when his country would call it quits. "We will keep trying," he told reporters in Phu Quoc.
The sunny island is also home to a naval unit, which is joining in the search.
With the international effort repeatedly drawing blanks, reporters holed up in Phu Quoc's air traffic control centre have taken to interviewing each other. Others make their way to the gleaming US$771 million airport, where cafes and a souvenir shop offer some respite and distraction.
The mountainous island is just 600 sq km, roughly the size of Singapore and home to just 102,000 people. Under the French colonial regime as well as the South Vietnamese government, the island was used to imprison political dissidents.
Vietnamese authorities hope to turn the fish sauce-producing region into the next Phuket, and plans are underway for a whole slate of roads and bridges as well as an undersea cable to link Phu Quoc to the national grid to support tourism.
According to the Toui Tre online news portal, the island welcomed about 600,000 visitors in 2012. Large parts of the island are currently under construction and swathes of land have been cleared for new homes and hotels.
But Phu Quoc is also home to a big variety of wildlife and relatively unspoilt beaches, something which environmentalists fear will be lost once tourists crowd the island. As international attention on the search - as well as Phu Quoc - grows, the day may come earlier than later.
But locals like Tran Van Tnah are not complaining. The former naval officer, who now drives taxis for a living, estimates he is earning 30 per cent more since the search for the missing plane began over the weekend.
"More high ranking officials have come here, and also foreign reporters," he said. "I think the economy of Phu Quoc is going to benefit from this."

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
18 Jun 2014 06:11 GMT | Politics, Africa, US & Canada, Australia, France
Al-Shabab fighters claim they killed at least 15 people in a second night of attacks on Kenya's coast, but the country's president says the attacks were the work of "local political networks" and gangs.
The latest attack happened overnight on Tuesday in Pomoroko, a village located between the city of Mombasa and the Kenyan border with Somalia, where the armed group is based.
The attack come after 48 people were killed in Mpeketoni in the early hours of Sunday. Al-Shabab claimed they carried out the attack to punish the Kenyan government for sending troops to Somalia.
However, President Uhuru Kenyatta denied al-Shabab's role in the attacks, instead blaming what he called "local political networks" and criminal gangs.
"The attack in Lamu was well planned, orchestrated and politically motivated ethnic violence against the Kenyan community, with the intention of profiling and evicting them for political reasons," Kenyatta said on Tuesday.
"This therefore was not an al-Shabab terrorist attack, evidence indicates that local political networks were involved in the planning and execution of the heinous crime."
In an interview with Al Jazeera, opposition member and senator Anyang Nyong'o said that the security situation in Kenya was getting "very serious" and blamed Kenyatta's government for carrying out "reactive action" instead of "preventive" measures to stop the attacks.
He also dismissed an earlier statement linking the opposition to the attacks, saying the allegations were "extremely irresponsible."
'Fighting a losing war'
Sunday's assault in Mpeketoni, in Kenya's tourist hub, was the biggest since the deadly Westgate Mall raid last September in the capital Nairobi.
In a statement sent to Al Jazeera on Monday, al-Shabab said it would continue its campaign in East Africa's largest economy.
"The Mpeketoni raid was carried out in response to Kenyan military's continued invasion and occupation of our Muslim lands and the massacre of innocent Muslims in Somalia," it said.
The group said the Kenyan government was "fighting a losing war" and telling tourists to stay away.
Kenya sent troops into Somalia in late 2011, after al-Shabab fighters carried out a series of raids on Kenyan soil.
It has fought a seven-year campaign to impose its interpretation of Islamic law inside Somalia.
Al Jazeera's Rawyah Rageh, reporting from Mpeketoni, said residents were in fear that al-Shabab will carry out more attacks.
Kenya has experienced a drop in tourist arrivals in recent months following gun and grenade attacks blamed on al-Shabab or its sympathisers.

Steelers' Miller's new role? Fill-in QB
Steelers/NFL Videos
Heath Miller was a two-time all-state high school quarterback in Richmond, Va., and originally signed with Virginia to play that position. He switched to tight end as a freshman and has played there ever since.
He could have been forced back to his original position Monday night.
With Ben Roethlisberger out and Byron Leftwich the only other Steelers quarterback in uniform, Miller was the emergency QB against the Chiefs.
Teams usually draw up a sequence of plays for such conditions but, Miller said, "It would have been a very small package."
And how many snaps has he taken in practice? "Maybe two," he said.
Safety first
Steelers safety Ryan Clark is wearing a new, larger helmet— like the one worn by Troy Polamalu — and he fitted it with the Kevlar padding that James Harrison wears to reduce the impact of on-field collisions. Clark played 11 seasons without a concussion, but now that he's had two of them in three weeks, he is being more cautious. "I'm going to be messed up," he said. "When you sign up for this game, we know there are risks, and you pray and hope you never have to deal with long-term effects. But you know there are going to be long-term effects when you play a collision sport."

(By Balachander) AutoZone Inc. (NYSE: AZO), a retailer of automotive replacement parts, posted a 5.6 percent increase in quarterly earnings, helped by sales growth and improvement in margins. Bottom-line beat market expectations, while sales were slightly short of consensus.
Earnings were $176.2 million or $4.78 per share for the second quarter, up from $166.9 million or $4.15 per share in the year-ago quarter. Wall Street analysts, on average, expected earnings of $4.76 per share.
Net sales rose 2.8 percent to $1.85 billion, while consensus estimates called in for a growth of 4.20 percent. Sales for stores open at least one year fell 1.8 percent for the three months ended Feb. 9.
[Related -Autozone, Inc.(NYSE:AZO) Q1 Earnings Preview: What To Expect?]
AutoZone said total domestic auto parts same store sales for the last two weeks decreased by 8 percent.
"Our belief is the approximate two week delay in processing of income tax returns this year was the key contributor to this decline in sales.," commented CEO Bill Rhodes. "Our expectation is sales in the upcoming quarter should recover to more normalized sales volumes."
Gross margin improved to 51.9 percent from 51.3 percent.
Inventory rose 7.0 percent, helped by higher store count and continued strategic investments in hard parts assortment, the company noted.
As of Feb. 9, 2013, the Memphis, Tennessee-based company had 4,735 stores in 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico in the U.S. and 334 stores in Mexico for a total store count of 5,070.

AZO ended Monday's regular trading at $378.54. The stock has been trading in the 52-week range between $341.98 and $399.10.

Gryphon Forge Games
Wizard's Gambit
Gryphon Forge Games
One thousand years have passed since The Fallen retreated from Hyrathia during the final days of the War of Legends. From where they came and to where they fled no one knows, and "why?" remains the greatest mystery. It has been many years since the Convocation of Wizards convened; the petty wars of the kingdoms not warranting the interference of the wizard council. Many years since greater peace ended the need for a war mage—a Grand Siege Magus—to lead the wizards of Hyrathia into battle.
But now the ancient enemy has returned, bringing war back to all of the kingdoms. Wizards from across the land have been summoned to the Convocation, held at High Emerath, stronghold of the mages. There they gather to take part in an ancient rite known as the Gambit, where the victor becomes the next war mage. Only those wizards with the highest skill in Spells, Incantations, and knowledge of the rare Magical Components can hope to claim the honor of being the war mage. Only one can win the title of Grand Siege Magus!
Wizard's Gambit is a non-collectible card game for 2 to 5 players, ages 8 and up.
In Wizard's Gambit players compete for Spells in a common Spell Pool—contending to gain the powerful advantage each Spell gives, as well as the Spell points needed to win the game.
Spells are claimed by calculated play of Magical Components on each player's turn—but it's not as simple as that; only the final Magical Component played claims the Spell. Once added to their Spell Book, a player may immediately apply the effects of the Spell if applicable, giving him more power to vanquish their competitors. Each Spell has a point value, which adds up cumulatively to represent their Spell Book's score.
To aid them in the contest, players can also cast Incantations—influential actions that further alter the course of play, helping both to claim Spells and vanquish opponents. Several Incantations have special effects that can provide game winning combos for players that have the right bit of luck and a good mind for strategy!
The ultimate option for players is to invoke the highest power—the Gambit, a card which can be used to secure a player's claim on a Spell or thwart opponents by canceling their Spell Book powers. But watch out! Other players can use their Gambits to stop you—and ruin your strategic power play!
The first player to reach a Spell point total of ten (10) points wins the game and is proclaimed Grand Siege Magus!

OSC seeks permanent trading ban for penny stock promoter
Share via Email
Sandy Winick, a penny stock promoter who is now the subject of U.S. criminal charges that could put him in prison for life, should be permanently banned from Ontario's capital markets, an Ontario Securities Commission hearing was told on Thursday.
Winick should also pay an administrative fine of $1.25 million and disgorge ill-gotten gains of $359,000 for his role as the mastermind of three fraudulent schemes involving companies under his control, said Jon Feasby, lawyer for the OSC.
Greg Curry, an associate who participated in the schemes, should pay a penalty of $250,000, and also be permanently banned from the province's capital markets, Feasby said.
The conduct of Winick and Curry was "extremely serious," Feasby told the hearing, presided over by OSC commissioner James Carnwath.
"It was openly dishonest…undermined confidence in the capital markets, and victimized investors," he said. "These people cannot be trusted to deal honestly in the capital markets."
Winick and Curry are currently behind bars in Thailand. They are awaiting extradition to the U.S. to face criminal fraud charges. The pair was among nine people arrested in August in connection with what the U.S. Justice Department described as the biggest penny stock fraud in history.
The Justice Department alleges the group swindled hundreds of investors in 35 countries of about $140 million from 2008 to earlier this year. Officials also allege that Winick, 55, who once lived in Toronto and Stoney Creek, Ont., was the Canadian mastermind.
Winick and Curry have not participated in the OSC proceedings in any way, the hearing was told.
Curry's son, Kolt, and his wife Laura Mateyak, face a hearing on the OSC allegations next month. Kolt is in a New York jail after police arrested him in connection with the international case.
Carnwath did not indicate when he would hand down sanctions against Winick and Curry in the OSC case.
In a decision released last month, Carnwath concluded that Winick set up BFM Industries Inc., Liquid Gold International Corp., and Nanotech Industries Inc. which were shell companies with no operating business.
Winick also created a fictitious investment bank in Singapore to promote and sell stock in BFM and Liquid Gold to unsuspecting investors who paid almost $3 million for worthless shares.
In the Liquid Gold promotion alone, the OSC said it found Winick kept about $1.26 million for his personal benefit.
In another scheme, Carnwath said Winick organized and directed an operation where Nanotech sent letters with 5,000 free shares and warrants to purchase more at cheaper prices to 10,000 investors in several countries.
Carnwath said that in the three schemes, Winick breached the Ontario Securities Act by engaging in activities that perpetrated fraud; trading shares without registration and distributing securities without preliminary prospectus or filing them with the regulator.
Furthermore, Winick, a de facto official of the three companies, allowed employees and representatives to not comply with the act's provisions, the OSC said.
Authorities say the underpinnings of the alleged frauds represent classic "pump and dump" operations where participants promote a stock, jack up prices artificially with phony trades and then disappear as the shares collapse and investors discover the scheme.
Liquid Gold was among several companies that Winick and other defendants in the international case used as vehicles in the alleged international fraud, according to the U.S. Justice Department's criminal indictment.

New Thera-Band FlexBar for Rehab and Stabilization Training
Performance Health / Hygenic Corporation announces the introduction of the new Thera-Band® FlexBar® Yellow Resistance for upper extremity rehabilitation and stabilization training. This new Thera-Band FlexBar is the extra-light resistance option for beginning rehab, pediatric, or geriatric patients.
"With the addition of this product, hands-on healthcare professionals have a broader range of options to match to their specific patient's needs," stated Phil Page PhD, PT, ATC, director of research and education for Thera-Band Academy. "Thera-Band FlexBars are unique in their ability to deliver consistent progressive resistance between products in different color-coded levels. Healthcare professionals can confidently use this product knowing that it can be relied on to support patients' treatment goals."
The 12" Thera-Band® FlexBar® is a flexible, durable resistance device with a ridged surface that ensures a secure grip during use. It is supplied in four progressive resistances beginning with new Thera-Band Flexbar Yellow/Extra Light and progressing to Red/Light, Green/Medium and Blue/Heavy resistance levels for greater challenge. It is used to improve grip strength and upper extremity stabilization through bending, twisting or oscillation movement. It has been research-proven effective for chronic lateral epicondylitis (aka tennis elbow), offering a cost-effective treatment that requires no injections or expensive equipment.
Dr. Page continued, "The initial research on the Thera-Band FlexBar's effectiveness on tennis elbow was done with the Red/Light FlexBar, with most of the study participants progressing on to the next level of resistance. This new extra-light resistance FlexBar offers a lower starting point for patients dealing with pain levels that limit their ability to start with the red bar."
Thera-Band FlexBar is used routinely by therapists and trainers for clinical rehab and sold by Thera-Band authorized health care distributors.

Two Brooklyn neighborhoods account for a majority of the ten percent increase in overall Jewish population growth in greater New York City over the past decade, according to data released Friday from a demographic study carried out by UJ-Federation of New York. With 1.54 million Jews, the New York area is home to the largest Jewish community in North America.
The newly released data comes from a demographic survey UJA-Federation conducted of the local Jewish population in 2012. The full report includes more detailed geographic data on the Jewish residents in UJA-Federation's catchment area, which includes the five boroughs of New York City, Long Island, and Westchester County.
According to the study, most of the increase since 2002 occurred in the predominantly Haredi Orthodox Brooklyn neighborhoods of Borough Park and Williamsburg.
The number of Jews living in Borough Park, home to the Bobov Chasidic sect and several others haredi communities, rose by 71 percent. In Williamsburg, the seat of the Satmar Chasidic sect, the population increased by 41 percent.
Other parts of the city also saw a dramatic rise in Jewish population. The number of Jews living in the northern Manhattan neighborhood of Washington Heights sky-rocketed by 144 percent.
The Bronx, a former bastion of Jewish life that had seen a long period of decline, is also rebounding. The number of Jews in the northern borough rose from 45,100 to 53,900 in 2012.
"The geographic profile give us essential current information so we can best respond with laser-like focus to regional and communal needs," said John Ruskay, the executive vice president and CEO of UJA-Federation of New York. "We, along with our network of agencies, area synagogues, day schools and many other communal institutions will use this data for planning to meet current and future needs of the Jewish community."

This is a simple hand rail that we built for our friend Bill to meet code. You might need something similar to meet a required building code or just for general safety purposes. I know there's a lot of discussion on this site about making things as cost effective as possible.. that's fine, just make sure it's safe. This handrail will exceed OSHA and BOCA requirements.
Please do not make this out of PVC ;-)
Step 1: Measure the Area
First we did a basic drawing of the area. This helps us keep our numbers straight. It doesn't have to be anything fancy.
Mark where you want the posts to go. This will serve as a reference point.
We will then make the following measurements:
1. The height of the steps
2. The depth of the steps
3. The distance between the edge of the step and the post markers (offset)
Write all this information down on your drawing.. when you finish you should have something like the attached picture.
Step 2: Do Your Calculations
Lets start with the simple and work our way to the complex
1. Posts – The posts at the top and the bottom need to be the same height. BOCA and OSHA standards specify that the minimum height of the handrail must be 42". For simplicity that's the length we are going to specify
2. Handrail – Calculating the length of the hand rail is a bit more complicated.
First we need to determine the angle.
- To do that we take the distance from post to post. Add the step length plus the length from the post to the step.
Then we determine the height of the steps.
- Add the step height together.
Determine the Angle
- Now here were you might need a calculator. In order to get the angle with the height and the length use the following equation. Divide the Height by the Length. Then do an Inverse Tangent on that number. That number should be the bottom angle of your handrail.
Selecting Angle Fittings
- Now that you have the angle you can determine the type of fitting that you want to use. Kee Klamp fittings offer a number of angled fittings.
- For our project because of the angles we're going to be using a Type-C50 fittings at the top and at the bottom. They allow you to create a handrail at just about any angle.
C50 - http://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/product_info.php?products_id=196
Now we are ready to determine the length of our handrail pipe.
- First we determine the overall length using the classic formula you learned in geometry a2 + b2 = c2. We just square the height and the length. Add them together. And take the square root of that number. That will give us the overall length.
- Now we're not done. Because the fittings have some length to them we need to to a little math. There's a handy chart in the Kee Klamp catalog (and on our website- http://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/hand_rail.php ) which gives us the numbers we need to subtract. There is no figure for the C50 (they do have offsets for other popular angle fittings) so we just figured an 1" on each side.
I threw together a spread sheet to do these calculations.. I left my numbers in it and attached it so that you can see where I'm coming from.
Selecting Flanges
- There are many different types of flanges to mount your handrail. We chose to use a simple Type 62 flange. We then used Tapcon concrete anchors to secure these to cement.
62 Flange - http://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/product_info.php?products_id=270
One more piece:
Because we're using a Type C50 fitting we'll need a Type 84 malleable plug. This will finish off the top pipe and make sure no water get's inside.
84 Malleable Plug - http://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/product_info.php?products_id=336
Selecting Pipe:
When installing a handrail make sure that you use Schedule 40 PIPE (not tube or fence post).
When selecting pipe you want to make sure that the steel is galvanized. This will ensure that you handrail will not rust. You might also think about having your pipe powder coated to protect it.
Taking Stock
Here are the parts and required tools
We've got three pieces of Schedule 40 1-1/2" galvanized steel pipe. This you can get at a local pipe store (note you can't get this at Home Depot)
2 x 42"
1 x 28" (this is particular to our project)
We've got the following fittings:
2 Type 62-8 flanges - http://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/product_info.php?products_id=270
2 Type c50-88 swivel fittings - http://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/product_info.php?products_id=196
2 Type 84-7 malleable plug - http://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/product_info.php?products_id=336
For hardware we have:
4 Concrete anchors - ConcreteFastners.com
For Tools we have:
Concrete Drill Bit
Allen Wrench.
Level (not required)
Rubber Mallet (or hammer and cloth)
Step 3: Place/Secure Bottom Flange
Place the flange so that you can see your mark in the middle of the circle.
Mark the two hole locations with the marker.
Remove Flange
Drill your holes
Put flange in place.
Screw in Concrete anchors.
We needed to use a rachet on the screws to get them seated all the way.
Step 4: Attach Post and Rail
After securing the post to base flange we connected the C50-88 and then we attached the handrail. We let the handrail hang down for the next step.
Step 5: Attach Top Post
After securing the top base flange, then insert the top post.
Attach the top C50 swivel fitting to the top post and then to the handrail.
Step 6: Insert Plugs
Warning.. once these plugs go in, they are not coming out easy.
a good solution to finish railing
84-8, not 84-7
The railing material is actually galvanized steel.
Here are a several versions of the railing that are now available in kits on our web site:

LONDON, January 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Latest economic data from the world's two biggest economies, U.S. and China, has been encouraging. This augurs well for the electronic equipment industry. Thus, our research team at StockCall initiated technical analysis on Sony Corp. (NYSE: SNE) and Panasonic Corp. (NYSE: PC). These free reports are available at
Improvements in the U.S. and Chinese Economy
On Thursday, data released in the U.S. showed that jobless claims fell unexpectedly last week to a five-year low, signaling an improvement in the labor market. Meanwhile, data released from the Commerce Department showed that housing starts jumped 12.1% to an annual rate of 954,000 in the month of December.
Earlier today, China reported that its economy grew 7.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012, a sign of improvement. Growth in the world's fastest growing major economy picked up for the first time in two years.
Effect on Sony and Panasonic
All these developments are positive for the electronic equipment industry. No surprise then that shares of Japanese electronic equipment companies Sony Corporation and Panasonic Corporation rose sharply in trading in Tokyo overnight. Find the free report on Panasonic on the members' area upon sign-up at
Both Sony and Panasonic are also expected to benefit from a weaker yen. The yen has been weakening in the last few days amid increasing speculation that the Bank of Japan will implement further monetary easing measures to boost growth in the world's third largest economy. A weaker yen will boost Japanese exports and this is a positive for Sony and Panasonic.
Sony's Recent Struggles
Sony Corp. [Free Report on SNE](1) has been struggling in recent years. For the fiscal year ended March 2012, the company had posted a record loss of 457 billion yen ($5.1 billion). However, Kazuo Hirai, Sony's CEO, is confident that the company is headed in the right direction. Speaking to reporters, Hirai noted that the company is more nimble now and focused under his leadership. Hirai took charge of the struggling company nine months ago. The CEO said that the company had been bogged down by its extensive bureaucracy. He said that he is making a point of personal involvement in product development to make sure good ideas do not get smothered.
The company's U.S. unit, meanwhile, announced that it reached an agreement to sell its 37-storey New York headquarters to a group of investors led by the Chetrit Group for $1.1 billion. The sale is expected to generate net cash proceeds of approximately $770 million. The sale is part of Sony's restructuring plans. The company is looking to sell assets and reduce workforce as it seeks to reverse four straight years of losses.
Investors are now focused on Sony's quarterly results, which will be released on February 7, 2013.
Signs of Slow Improvement
Sony and Panasonic have been struggling due to increasing competition from electronic equipment companies across China, South Korea and Taiwan. In November last year, it was reported that Panasonic was planning to cut more jobs in 2013 as part of its restructuring, aimed at cost savings and restoring its softening sales.
The weakening global economy has also had a negative impact on the companies. However, the companies have been taking measures to return to profitability. A weaker yen and an improving global economy should further help the two companies.

Waikato shoppers spending close to home
Relevant offers
Waikato people notched up the second highest spend in the country last month as Hamilton retail development continued to stop shoppers straying up the highway to Auckland.
The dollar spend in the Waikato last month was 7.6 per cent up on January last year at close to $303 million, according to latest figures from electronic transaction service Paymark.
This was just a whisker behind a Canterbury spending increase of 8 per cent, which topped the country.
The number of over the counter transactions in the Waikato was 8.1 per cent up on January 2012 at $6.32m, said Paymark.
Retailers' Association northern regional manager Russell Sinclair said the figures reflected retail growth in the Waikato, particularly in Te Rapa (The Base), and the influence of the dairy industry.
Anecdotal reports from the region were that people from towns outlying Hamilton, such as Te Awamutu and Huntly, were shopping closer to home instead of south Auckland or Auckland city.
The Wairarapa came in third for increased spending last month, posting a 5.6 per cent rise year on year.
Paymark chief executive Simon Tong said January not only brought out the sunshine, but a positive start for many retailers nationally.
The total value of card swipes through the Paymark network increased $191m nationally to nudge $4 billion, a 5.1 per cent rise year on year, he said.
The value of spending increased by a seasonally adjusted 0.6 per cent from December to January, the fourth consecutive monthly gain.
Paymark processes about 75 per cent of all electronic transactions.
But Mr Tong said it was still tough going for some retailers.
Sectors such as the accommodation industry and consumer electronics retailers had experienced below-average growth, he said.
Spending growth overall was weak on the West Coast of the South Island, and in Southland.
Retailers with links to the building industry continued to post strong growth, Mr Tong said.
