Our Q2 FY14 Google compete campaign was built for Microsoft partners specifically targeting SMB customers. It provides targeted demand generation materials to help guide you in 1:1 conversations with customers who are either considering Google Apps for Business or who have recently purchased Google Apps and aren't satisfied.
One size doesn't fit all when it comes to the needs of your customers – and we've built the Google compete campaign with that in mind. This campaign provides marketing and readiness tools to help you start discussions with your SMB customers about the benefits of Office 365 when competing with Google Apps for Business.
This campaign is not intended to replace the campaigns material found in Office BEST for SMB or the Office Small Business Premium campaign – so continue using those as a supplement to your Google compete activity. The intention of this campaign is to highlight the multiple areas where Office 365 beats the competition – Google – and provide specific scenario examples for you to use when marketing and selling.
Campaign Includes:

Touch Design
We are updating the default HTML5 "mobile view" in mobile browsers. Users accessing SharePoint on mobile devices will get an updated touch-friendly experience. The new experiences primarily target the Web views of a user's SkyDrive Pro, the Sites hub and default team site pages.

Improved Sharing Emails - All on To... line
Now everyone you share with will be on the To... line. When you share with multiple people via the sharing dialog in SharePoint, SharePoint will send one email to everyone you shared with and cc you as the sender, rather than sending a separate email to each recipient. Note: external email addresses typed in the people picker will still send individual external invitations, since external invites need unique redemption links.
More information: SharePoint Online improves external sharing
High DPI Improvements
The latest update of Outlook 2013 is now optimized for high pixel density screens on tablet devices.

In the latest update of Outlook 2013, the email message header in the reading pane can be collapsed to provide more screen space for the body of the email. Also, when the reading pane is too narrow to show all recipients in the message header, an indicator appears to tell you how many recipients are not shown.

One of our Escalation Engineers from support put together this fantastic video for Windows Phone App developers.
This video tutorial demonstrates how to create a loading screen in your Windows phone App that is bound to a property in the ViewModel. It covers how to use Blend to create a simple loading screen and use the DataStateBehavior in conjunction with a Boolean ViewModel property to display the loading screen when data is loading, and the main view for the page when data has been finished loading.
For the Technical folks out there, this one is for you.
If you have a Access Control Service (ACS) namespace you will periodically see email indicating your certificate, key or password is about to expire. This video will guide you through what to check for to ensure all you certificates, keys and passwords are up to date.

Once upon a time, you could go grab Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Inside Out, absorb all 1248 pages, and be pretty much set for three years. For the most part, Cumulative Updates and Service Packs just fixed bugs or made minor tweaks to how the product worked.
In a Services world, however… you have to stay on top of technologies that are constantly being improved. You need to learn how different components interact with each other. If you are an Exchange person, you need to be current on Identity technologies. If you are a SharePoint person, you need to be aware of changes to External Sharing on SharePoint Online.
In other words… you need to stay up on your continuing education!

Russia hikes key interest rateComment on this story
Moscow - Russia's central bank unexpectedly raised its main interest rate by a half point on Friday, warning that geopolitical tensions were pushing up inflationary risks.
"Furthermore inflationary risks have increased, including due to increased geopolitical tensions and their possible effect on the dynamic of the exchange rate of the national currency," the Bank of Russia said in a statement in an apparent reference to the crisis in Ukraine and Western sanctions against Russia. - Sapa-AFP

Saina was stellar!Posted on 01 / 13 / 2014
Tried Saina for the first time this weekend. Quite possibly my new favorite restaurant. Veggies and sushi were all fresh and tasty. Could use a little music, but no biggie - enjoyed the time chatting with our friends. Tried the Daikon salad, Vegan pot stickers, fried portabella, and a lot of sushi rolls - all were amazing.
Cons: Need to clarify Vegan vs Vegetarian, Could play a little music / ambience

Plan to amend tick sizes at Qatar Exchange
Qatar Financial Markets Authority has given the green light to implement as of Tuesday the 1st of February a decision taken by its board early this month to amend tick sizes and daily trading hours at Qatar Exchange.
During a press conference held Monday at Qatar Exchange, Mr. André Went, Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Exchange, gave a detailed presentation about tick sizes and illustrated by examples the implementation mechanism of the tick sizes during trading sessions. Furthermore, Mr. Went explained the importance of the new tick sizes and their impact on liquidity, volumes of trade on Qatar Exchange and trading opportunities for investors.
He explained that the tick sizes will be 1 dirham for the stock price ranging from 1 QR. To below 25 QR ; and 5 dirhmas for the stock price ranging from 25 QR up to below 50 QR; and 10 dirhams for the stocks equal to 50 QR or above.
Went added that the QFMA also approved the increase of the daily trading sessions with one hour, of which half an hour at the opening of trading and half an hour at the closing of the trading session, so the continuous trading hours will start at 9:30 hrs. and ends at 13:00 hrs.
The CEO went on saying that the pre-opening phase will be between 9:00 hrs. and 9:30 hrs., adding that the continuous trading phase will be followed by a 15-minute period, divided into 10 min. for the pre-closing period and 5 min. for the trading at last period.

As a lawfully employed nonresident F-1 or J-1 visa holder you are not subject to social security withholding or reporting requirements until your 6th year in the U.S. (However, the law requires that social security tax be withheld from wages received from unauthorized employment.) Therefore, wages received by nonresident F-1 or J-1 visa holders working on the campus they are authorized by DHS to attend, performing off-campus work with DHS permission, undergoing approved practical or academic training are not subject to social security requirements. To claim an exemption from social security tax, you must provide verification of visa status and proof of work permission to the employer.
If you are an F-1, or J-1 visa holder who is a resident alien for tax purposes, your wages are subject to social security (FICA) and unemployment (FUTA) taxes on the same terms which apply to U.S. citizens. J-2 and H visa holders, whether resident or nonresident, must pay social security tax. Social security taxes and benefits apply to U.S. permanent residents on the same basis as U.S. citizens.
Thus, to summarize, both the Internal Revenue Code and the Social Security Act allow an exemption from social security/medicare taxes to international students who have entered the United States on F-1 or J-1 status and who are still classified as nonresident aliens under the residency rules of the Internal Revenue Code. As discussed above, this means that students in F-1 or J-1 nonimmigrant status who have been in the United States less than all or part of 5 calendar years are still nonresident aliens and are still exempt from social security/medicare taxes. This exemption also applies to any period in which the international student is in practical training allowed by the INS, as long as the international student is still a nonresident alien under the code.
International students in F-1 and J-1 nonimmigrant status who have been in the United States more than 5 calendar years are resident aliens and are liable for social security/medicare taxes. When measuring your date of entry for the purposes of determining the 5 calendar years mentioned above, the actual date of entry is not important. It is the calendar year of entry which is counted toward the five calendar years respectively. Thus, for example, an international student who enters the United States on December 31, 2003 counts 2003 as the first of his/her five years as an exempt individual.
Occasionally, Medicare Taxes are withheld in error. Nonresidents may not request a refund of Medicare Taxes on their annual income tax return (Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ).
You must instead do the following:
- Complete IRS Form 843 "Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement."
- Attach copies of the Form W-2 for the year you are requesting the refund for, a copy of your Form I-94, and proof of permission to work (Employment Authorization Card or other written approval from ISSO).
- If you are a F or J Visa holder, you also need to complete Form 8316.
- Make a photocopy of all these documents and keep them with your other tax records.
- MAIL the documents with copies of your W-2 and I-94 card to the IRS service center where you would be required to file a current year tax return for the tax to which your claim or request relates.
This is not a fast process. Anyone who files these forms should wait at least 60 days before attempting to contact the IRS by phone to verify the status of the refund request.
Be sure to put an address on Form 843 that will be accurate for the next 3-4 months.
The University of Cincinnati does not provide Medicare Tax refunds or a letter stating such. Instead, the University of Cincinnati has provided a completed 8316 Form that only requires the employee's signature and telephone number.

|Short review: The European ladies of this internet site show the rest of the world just how sex-appealing the female body can be, and how tremendous the actions are they perform with it! Its soft-core footage, with long legs spreading wide for playthings to use in masterbation and also babe to babe fervor as well. So nicely done in so many diverse ways, and more than enough to stimulate you into climax when it comes to content.

Front loaders SUUUUUUCK!Feb 22 2011 11:35 AM
Southern ApplianceHey Toranaga!
I used to feel the same way.
However, they are now a big part of my business.
Nobody else around will touch them.
So thats a lot of money left for someone to make!
What do you see the most of in your area?
Around here it's WP Duets & Frigidaire.
But also LG, Samsung, Bosch etc.
The main problems I find are drain pumps or door locks.
Both of these are easy fixes.
If I come across one with bad bearings I tell people...

I'm 100% sure the canisters are not re-used. They're original Kodacolor II clearly marked as C41. And I have earlier Kodacolor X marked as C22.
I would love to try out the C-22 in C-41 at lower temps so if you don't, I would love to take one as a test roll

Using the core of the pineapple
When we buy a whole pineapple and peel/core it to serve, we save the core and put it INSIDE a chicken or turkey while it's being roasted. GREAT flavor, keeps the bird moist and tender, and uses up what otherwise would have been thrown away.

Put a list of the vegetables you have on the fridge door
I used to find vegetables in the back of the fridge I had forgotten. Now when I buy them I put a list on the fridge door. The list inspires me to cook with them or choose them as snacks. I cross off the list as I use them up but don't go shopping for more until they are gone. Works for frozen vegetables too.

Many items which are usually fried or grilled can be cooked in the oven wrapped in foil. It saves calories and mess.
Instead of using bread crumbs and/or cheese to bread something before cookine (like chicken breasts) use almonds! Simply place a handful of almonds in a small food processor and pulse until they are the size you wish to use. The chicken stays moist and almonds are good for you!

text: So today I called JDM Legends looking for new wheels for the fb, when through conversation I discovered that I had been pronouncing Hakosuka incorrectly. Previously, I was saying something along the lines of "hey ko sue ka" which was way off.. So now I'm wondering what other JNC terms I have been completely butchering.. How is hachiroku pronounced? Bosozuku? Also, there are a lot of Japanese terms used on the JNC blog, and I don't know what they mean; wangan for example. Can we make a little cheat sheet to educate my western mind?

This adventure will lead you where very few have gone before - through Dominica's forests and underwater treasures - and will introduce you to nature at its best. View the majestic Trafalgar Waterfalls and enjoy picturesque landscapes, exotic flora and fauna and one of the greenest rainforests in the Caribbean. Then explore a local marine eco-system dotted with champagne bubbles, swim with colorful fish, and discover an assortment of coral and sponge life.
Your experience will start with a short coach ride from the pier to Roseau Valley and through rainforest stands to the majestic Trafalgar Waterfalls. Enjoy picturesque landscapes and exotic flora and fauna. Then it's off to Champagne Reef for your orientation and where you'll be outfitted for your snorkel experience, much like swimming in a glass of champagne and through a stream of bubbles that rises from a submerged volcanic vent in the ocean floor. See juvenile and adult fish as well as colorful sponge and coral.

Junk justice helps no one — least of all the people left behind to pick up the pieces of a senseless, preventable crime.
Ninety days in prison. That's all former 68th Precinct cop Andrew Kelly, 30, received for driving drunk and fatally mowing down Vionique Valnord-Kassime, 32, as she tried to hail a cab after leaving a wedding on Sept. 28, 2009, which her father, a preacher, officiated.
The wrist-slap was part of a plea deal — no surprise there — which swapped Kelly's resignation for a measly three months behind bars. That's barely enough time for him to begin to contemplate the tragic ramifications of his hoggish actions, let alone put them behind him and move on with life — a precious journey that he selfishly stole from Vionique because alcohol made him an egomaniac who ignored his sworn pledge to uphold the law. On and off duty.
Internal Affairs is conducting a separate investigation into the role of other officers at the crash site, who allegedly helped Kelly cover up his deadly tracks; in part, by dispensing him a sobriety test four hours later.
These days, even toddlers know that it is wrong to drink and drive — a crime which kills every 30 minutes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Countless dollars have been spent on educating people about this plague. Scores of advocacy groups have crusaded against it. Last year, New York State cracked down heavily by passing Leandra's Law, making it an automatic felony on the first offense to drive drunk with a person under the age of 15 inside the vehicle.
Vionique's death proves that the massive concerted effort has yielded nothing at all since the days of the 1960's sitcom, "Bewitched," when a chuckling cop issued a mild rebuke to an inebriated Larry Tate for zig-zagging his car out of the Stephens' driveway after one too many martinis.
Much tougher laws are clearly still needed. Andrew Kelly's decision-making skills were not impaired that night. He knew he was drinking. He knew he would be driving. He knew there was a chance of a terrible outcome. The surefire recipe for disaster didn't deter him in the least.
Cops are — or should be — held to a higher standard because they are trained to know better and are well-versed than most in the horrors caused by drunk drivers, such as Andrew Kelly, who diminished his own standing and cast aspersion on the New York Police Department which navigates a tough job in a tough city, every day.
The Valnord-Kassime family's grace under grief is heroic. When Kelly asked for his forgiveness, Vionique's father, Rev. Varius Valnord, willingly gave it. Still, it can only compound the bereaved man's heartache if the investigation reveals that the blue wall conspired to help Kelly water down his terrible crime. His generous plea deal underscores as much.
Kelly's victory, if you can call it that, is nothing to celebrate because it shows a disregard for human life similar to his own. Instead, he should have received the maximum penalty for vehicular manslaughter: 15 years behind bars.
That might have eased — only ever-so slightly — the anguish of the victim's loved ones, and demonstrated that no one is above the law — especially a cop.

'Spamalot' an uneven quest for Milwaukee's Theatre Unchained
Find Christ's drinking cup from the Last Supper? No problem. Splice a loving homage to Monty Python's low-tech antics with a sendup of Broadway's overblown extravaganzas? For "Spamalot" creators Eric Idle (book, lyrics and music) and John Du Prez (music), that might be the impossible dream.
Or so I found myself thinking Friday night, after emerging from yet another date with the frequently performed "Spamalot." Less than three years after a so-so production in the Milwaukee Theatre, this latest version arrives in town courtesy of Theatre Unchained — formerly Carte Blanche Studios Theatre — under John Baiocchi's direction. »Read Full Article

I`ve been seeing some strange stuff but just can`t bring myself to post it yet. Clear skies tonight here but I need it to be clouded over to see these faint star like things that travel within the clouds. They show up as a small star like flash is the easiest way to spot them. They travel seeming to be making triangular paths in the sky within the clouds.
They are driving me a tad crazy watching them and just wanted to mention them since you are in Florida incase you happen to get cloudy skies just after it goes dark to perhaps see if you can spot them. The next time I see them I`m thinking of making a thread on them as well with more detail.

Fighting More than Fires is a true story about the life of Miami Dade's first African American Fire Chief, Charles Phillips. It is his autobiography, detailing his rise through the ranks of Miami–Dade Fire Department to achieve the highest honor of becoming Chief, only to be accused of the unthinkable. "My story lays bare the details of my experiences – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Phillips says, "Writing this book was a 10 year gut-wrenching, soul-searching project and it was very difficult to re-live some of the unpleasant experiences I had encountered. Can you imagine working your was up the ranks from firefighter to Chief, in a major city in America, only to be publicly humiliated and forced out of office on false allegations by someone you trusted as a confidant"? Fighting More than Fires is a compelling account of Chief Phillips' fight to make it to the top and then having it all taken away two years after being sworn in. It is his story of betrayal, deception and perseverance. About the Author Growing up as a child, Charles Phillips had a fascination for fire trucks and the sirens that blared as they sped down the streets of his neighborhood. It was then that he knew he would one day ride on the back of a fire engine. In 1974, that dream became a reality; he joined the mostly segregated Metropolitan Dade County Fire Department as one of 48 members of the first predominantly African- American Fire Recruit Training Class. "Growing up as a young Black boy in Miami's Liberty City, I knew I wanted to make a difference in my community, and I feel that I have. I truly enjoyed working in public service, and in my opinion, being a firefighter is the best job in the world and the most rewarding career that I could ever imagine. "Phillips says, "I have written this book to tell my story about a child that came from humble beginnings, raised in the inner city and worked hard through the ranks to become the Chief". "But the dream was short-lived. "I am a better man today because of the injustices I have experienced, and it took me more than two years to recover emotionally from the assault and attacks that I suffered from Miami-Dade County and the media. I am most proud of the fact that I made a positive difference in my community and the Miami–Dade Fire Rescue Department. I did it with dignity and pride without sacrificing my ethics and moral beliefs. I was forced out amidst 'false allegations', but I left with my head up."

November 30, 2015
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Some Athens residents are working to create a historic district and protect landmarks more than 50 years old.
The 11-member committee of University of Georgia and Athens-Clarke officials met Monday to set its agenda for Milledge Avenue. The well-traveled street also is home to fraternity row.
The committee will focus on preservations, zoning and parking. Members are looking to other college towns for guidance.
County ordinances call for large parking lots at fraternity and sorority houses to handle members. But planning director Brad Griffin says those rules aren't working because most Greek organizations cannot meet the standards without paving over laws and gardens.
The committee also hopes to extend a ban on demolitions and major renovations which expires in October.

Trouble looked to be brewing for Apple last April: an International Trade Commission judge made an initial ruling that Apple infringed on a standards-essential Motorola WiFi patent, raising the possibility of a trade ban if the verdict held true. The fellows in Cupertino may have caught a big break. A Commission review of the decision on Friday determined that Apple didn't violate the patent, and it upheld positions that exonerated the iPhone maker regarding two others. Apple isn't entirely off the hook, however. The ITC is remanding the case to the judge to review his stance that Apple hadn't violated a non-standards-based patent, which still leaves Apple facing the prospect of a ban. However, having to revisit the case nearly resets the clock -- we now have to wait for another ruling and a matching review, and that likely puts any final decision well into 2013. Google-owned Motorola isn't lacking more weapons in its arsenal, but any stalled proceedings take away bargaining chips in what's become a high-stakes game.

At least in public schools (below university level), most of the real details in just about every era are glossed over in order to get through everything quickly. It's not about learning so much as memorizing a few names and dates so that the students can pass their tests. No joke, the average American high schooler could probably learn more about a history topic from Wikipedia than they could from their own textbooks.

text: gb9570Threads: 1Posts: 4Author: Joshua Bentley Apr 16, 2009 #1I need help with my scholarship essay. 500 words. I am over by 25 words and not sure I answered the question. Here's the question. Describing your educational goals and why their comapny should help you achieve them by investing in your education.I am fascinated with the electrical aspect of engineering and aspire to one day own my own engineering firm, I know certainly an engineering degree is a necessity if I want to obtain my professional engineering license and own my own engineering firm. A short term goal of mine is to obtain a co-op position at NASA where I can learn about and understand the electrical systems of spacecrafts. Maybe one day I can help build the first space community. Traveling over 665 miles to Birmingham, Alabama and spending over 40 hours building a home for a senior citizen through World Changers Ministry, is something that I am passionate about. Although, I have maintained a very busy schedule during my senior year in high school and consistently held positions of leadership such as Co-captain of the Pearland Marching Band, Praise and Worship Leader of First Baptist Church of Pearland, and Administrative Assistant in my current job position at Pearland Music Studio, I still enjoy volunteering through community service and love to find time to assist people in anyway possible. While building the senior's house in Birmingham, I notice one of the areas that required the greatest need was a certified electrical engineering. Seeing this reaffirmed my desire to become an electrical engineer. I learned that there is a vast need for electrical engineers, my studies will always be required and it's wonderful way to give back to the community. I also learned that leadership requires a great deal of responsibility, humility, integrity, time, service to people and a heart of unselfishness. During Hurricane Ike disaster relief efforts, I recruited several students to help, load, transfer and distribute over 10,000 bags of ice and over 5,000 cases of water, in addition to helping 10 local families to clean up storm debris at their homes. This experience truly made me humble and grateful.In preparing myself for my future career I have taken courses such as calculus, engineering, and physics. From elementary school through high school, I have participated in math, science and engineering fairs. For instance, one of my science projects was to demonstrate how electricity can be generated using a lemon. These activities have aided in influencing my decision to seek a degree in the field of engineering. Due to my continuing interest in engineering, I have had the opportunity to participate in multiple activities associated with my field of interest. In the summer of 2008 I attended a week long engineering camp at the University of Houston called Mentoring and Enrichment Seminar in Engineering Training (MESET). Attending MESET provided me a "hands-on" analysis about the skills required to be an engineer, the multi-faceted job functions engineering entails, and the contributions engineers make to society. My plan is to attend a four year college to obtain a Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering degree and I will use my unique ability gain through school, work, and community outreach to unite the talents of people with different backgrounds and cultures, thereby enhancing the University's image and public relations, both nationally and internationally. Your company __ can help me to achieve my education goal through your scholarship program.

Members of the grounds crew cover the field with a tarp as inclement weather cancelled Game 4 of the ALCS. / Tim Fuller, USA TODAY Sports
DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers will have to wait at least one more day to wrap up the American League pennant.
Game 4 of the American League Championship Series between the Tigers and New York Yankees at Comerica Park on Wednesday night was postponed because of a forecast for inclement weather.
Detroit leads the best-of-seven-series 3-0 and was looking to complete a sweep.
Major League Baseball officials waited one hour and 10 minutes after the scheduled 8:07 p.m. ET starting time before calling the game, even though rain never actually fell. MLB said it postponed the game "in an effort to preserve the integrity of an uninterrupted nine-inning game."
The game was rescheduled for today at 4:07 p.m. ET with Max Scherzer pitching for Detroit against New York left-hander CC Sabathia.
"We all wanted to play," Scherzer said. "The forecast was rain but it never rained. They kept saying it was going to come but it never came. That's weather for you."
The Yankees, at least for a day, staved off elimination.
"We all got to the park and got our work in and that's the important thing," center fielder Curtis Granderson said. "It can't hurt to have an extra day to regroup, come back tomorrow and trying to start winning some ballgames."
Game 5, if necessary, was originally scheduled for Thursday. Instead, it would be played Friday afternoon at Comerica Park at a time to be determined.
Friday was originally scheduled to be an off day.
The series is then scheduled to shift back to New York for Game 6 on Saturday.
The scheduled starters for Game 5 are Doug Fister for the Tigers and Andy Pettite for the Yankees. However, with the extra day off, the teams could counter with their Game 2 starters -- Anibal Sanchez for the Tigers and Hiroki Kuroda for the Yankees -- on a normal four days of rest.
Sanchez pitched seven shutout innings for the win in that game Sunday while Kuroda struck out 11 in seven innings.
If the series would somehow get to a seventh game, Sabatahia would be unable to start for the Yankees. Because of the loss of the off day, Sabatahia would only have two days of rest before Game 7.
Meanwhile, Detroit ace Justin Verlander would remain lined up to pitch Game 7 on the normal four days of rest.
"We can't worry about what might happen in Game 7," Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano said. "Not in the position we're in."
Though the Tigers had to keep their celebratory champagne on ice for at least another day, they understood the decision to postpone the game.
"They didn't want to start the game, stop it, and after a third of the game, have a 1½-hour delay," catcher Alex Avila said. "That would screw things up."

WWAY-DT2 is the CW-affiliated television station for North Carolina's Cape Fear region. It is a second digital subchannel of ABC affiliate WWAY (owned by Morris Multimedia) and is part of the national CW Plus service. Over-the-air, the station airs a 720p high definition digital signal on UHF channel 46.2 (or virtual channel 3.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter, west of Winnabow, in Town Creek Township. It can also be seen in standard definition on Charter channel 17, Time Warner Cable digital channel 106, and ATMC Cable digital channel 911. WWAY's parent station has studios on North Front Street in Downtown Wilmington next to Cape Fear Community College.
WWAY-DT2 began life as "WBW", a cable-only affiliate with The WB through the national WB 100+ service. Since it was only available on cable, the call sign was fictional in nature and thus not officially recognized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Before the cable-only WBW signed-on, Wilmington was the one of the portions of North Carolina, and one of the few in the Eastern Time Zone, without a WB affiliate of its own.
The area's cable systems piped in WRAZ in Raleigh, and later WLFL when WRAZ switched to Fox. With the merge between UPN and The WB on September 18, 2006, "WBW" became part of The CW through the new network's similar national service, The CW Plus. During this time, the station was seen exclusively on Charter channel 17 and Time Warner Cable channel 20. Meanwhile, WWAY's second digital subchannel was originally a 24-hour local weather channel. On June 15, 2008, this switched to Luken Communications' Retro Television Network.
In September 2013, WWAY announced it would add The CW to its second digital subchannel displacing Retro TV to a new third subchannel. The CW was officially added to WWAY-DT2 on September 30, 2013 giving over-the-air viewers in the Wilmington market access to the network for the first time. As a result, the faux "WBW" call letters were dropped and WWAY-DT2 immediately took over the Charter channel location. The CW was relocated to the digital tier of Time Warner Cable at that point.
WWAY launched a thirty minute weeknight newscast on WWAY-DT2 beginning January 6, 2014 called Cape Fear CW Primetime News at 10. It features a separate graphics package from the main shows seen on WWAY. It is the first competition to Fox affiliate WSFX-TV which has a well-established nightly newscast at 10 produced by NBC outlet WECT.
