China Telecom Plans to Buy Wireless Network From Parent
Mar 22nd
China Telecom Plans to Buy Wireless Network From Parent March 22, 2011, 4:54 AM EDT
By Bloomberg News
(Updates with comment from analyst in fourth paragraph.)
March 22 (Bloomberg) — China Telecom Corp., the country's biggest fixed-line carrier, said it plans to buy the mobile- phone network it now leases from its parent company after the number of users more than tripled in the past year.
China Telecom will complete the purchase of the third- generation CDMA mobile phone network by the end of next year, Chairman Wang Xiaochu said at a press conference in Hong Kong today. He said the network is valued at about 90 billion yuan ($14 billion) and that the purchase will be funded with debt. He said a price for the acquisition hasn't been decided.
China Telecom boosted the number of 3G phone users to 12.3 million at the end of last year, from 4.1 million a year earlier, by increasing the variety of handsets on offer. The network purchase will raise earnings, Wang said. The listed- company's CDMA network capacity lease fee rose 59 percent to 13.3 billion yuan last year, the company said today.
"The reason why they are buying the network is because the leasing fee they are currently paying to the parent company is more than the depreciation of the assets and related finance charges," Kelvin Ho, a Shanghai-based analyst at Yuanta Securities Co., said in a phone interview today. "If they buy, it will be cheaper and they will save costs. The parent will try to price it attractively so it will be accretive."
China Telecom rose 2.3 percent to HK$4.49 at the 4 p.m. close of trading in Hong Kong.
The company said today profit excluding gains from connection fees rose 42 percent to 2.67 billion yuan in the three months ended Dec. 31. Sales rose 5.1 percent to 56.2 billion yuan.

China to Double Annual 4G Network Spending, IHS ISuppli Says
Mar 4th
China, the world's largest mobile- phone market, will double annual spending on fourth-generation network equipment in each of the next four years, according to forecasts from IHS ISuppli.
China's investment in 4G will double to $100 million this year from $50 million last year as trials get under way in six cities, El Segundo, California-based IHS ISuppli forecasts. Spending will jump to $300 million in 2012, $600 million in 2013 and $1.3 billion in 2014, according to the forecasts.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in December gave China Mobile Communications Corp., the world's largest carrier by subscribers, approval to begin large-scale tests of its 4G TD-LTE network in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Xiamen. IHS ISuppli projects those trials will reach 100 million subscribers with 100 base stations.
The nation's other two carriers, China United Network Communications Group Co. and China Telecommunications Corp., will start deploying 4G systems between 2012 and 2013, the report said.
China granted the first licenses for third-generation wireless networks that allow mobile phones to surf the Web in 2009. China was home to 859 million mobile-phone users at the end of last year. Only 47 million, or 5.5 percent, had upgraded to 3G service as of the end of December, according to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Christchurch Earthquake: Telecom network up and running
Feb 26th
The Telecom network is up and stable, with most mobile sites working and all exchanges operational with a combination of mains and generated power following Tuesday's Christchurch earthquake, the company says.
Telecom urged people in Christchurch to minimise the use of mobile phones and use text messages instead of calls when possible, to free up the network for emergency response workers.
However, as the network is operational people should use their phones for important calls.
Telecom teams on the ground and across the country were working around the clock to provide every support possible, it said.
Yesterday, the telco said it had 60 generators providing backup power to network sites still without mains power.
It had collected more than 3000 analogue landline phones which were being readied for distribution.
The "old fashioned phones" did not require electricity, and Telecom asked people to drop any spares to Telecom stores during retail opening hours.
The company said today more than 27,000 calls had been made from 260 free Telecom payphones across Christchurch.
Two extra payphones were stationed at Pioneer Stadium and Burnside High School welfare centres.
A third free payphone was on its way to Christchurch from Auckland.
Free WiFi spots were also available at Telecom Riccarton Mall, Cafe Zero on Cashmere Rd, and the Westpac Centre in Addington.
Telecom said Christchurch customers could have their landline number diverted to another number for free by calling them on 120 and business customers on 125.

China in Tube phone network bid
Feb 21st
A Chinese telecoms firm is bidding to install mobile phone transmitters in the London Underground in time for the 2012 Olympics, it has been reported.
According to the Sunday Times, Huawei is offering to put in the £50 million phone network free of charge as a gift from one Olympic nation to another.
The paper said mobile network operators Vodafone and O2 had agreed to pick up the tab for installation work, while Huawei would hope to make an income from maintenance fees.
A Transport for London spokesman said: "Transport for London and the Mayor of London are currently in discussion with mobile phone operators and other suppliers about the potential provision of mobile phone services on the deep Tube network.
"Given the financial pressures on TfL's budgets, any solution would need to be funded through mobile operators with no cost to fare or taxpayers. Discussions are ongoing."
Conservative MP Patrick Mercer said an underground mobile network of the kind already installed in Hong Kong and Paris would be "extremely helpful" for emergency workers in the event of a terror attack.
But he warned it "absolutely answers a terrorist's prayers", by providing a means of detonating devices on the Underground.
Mr Mercer told the Sunday Times: "Whoever takes the decision has to be aware it is a double-edged sword.
"It has been proven that a proportion of the cyberattacks on this country come from China. I wonder when the eyes of the world are upon us whether there is sense in using a Chinese firm to install a sensitive mobile network."

T-Mobile USA Seeks to Ride Beefed Up Network, May Need Partners
Jan 19th
Deutsche Telekom AG's slow build-out of its T-Mobile USA network, once a shortcoming, may be turning into an advantage for Europe's largest phone company.
The unit, the fourth-largest mobile-phone operator in the U.S. after Verizon Wireless, AT&T Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corp., accounts for about a quarter of the German company's sales and has seen profit slide as it missed out on Apple Inc. iPhones. With the emergence of Google Inc.'s Android software, the lower- priced handset market targeted by T-Mobile is growing fast.
"The irony is that being late to the party means they are entering the party at just the right time for them," said Robin Bienenstock, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein in London with an "outperform" rating on Deutsche Telekom shares. "They're late because historically they underinvested and that in turn forced them into being a cheap and cheerful discounter."
Deutsche Telekom Chief Executive Officer Rene Obermann and T-Mobile CEO Philipp Humm must demonstrate they can retain customers and boost revenue and profit, analysts said. The executives will unveil their strategy for the U.S. market in New York tomorrow and need to show that they're prepared to buy or partner with a rival by next year to get spectrum to build a next generation network, called 4G or Long-Term Evolution.
"They might not need LTE to cater to capacity and speed before 2013, but in 2012 they will face a marketing challenge," said Ameet Shah, a director at consulting firm PRTM in London.
Verizon Wireless activated its LTE service last month, while AT&T expects to start selling faster speed LTE services this year. T-Mobile won't want to be left behind, he said.
Falling Behind
"Consumers will want the latest devices, on the fastest network, and getting them to sign up for 18- to 24-month contracts in 2012 will be hard when Verizon has its new network up and running," Shah said.
T-Mobile USA, which doesn't offer iPhones in the U.S., saw annual customer growth slow to 10 percent from more than 40 percent between 2002 and 2008. In 2009, it had a 3.2 percent net new customers and the share of high-margin customers slipped to 79 percent from 89 percent in 2003.
Shares of Deutsche Telekom, based in Bonn, fell 6.2 percent last year. They slid 0.2 percent to 9.59 euros as of 10:35 a.m. in Frankfurt.
T-Mobile USA sales fell 1.6 percent to $21.5 billion in 2009, while operating income before interest, depreciation and amortization fell 3.4 percent to $5.92 billion. In the quarter ended September, revenue at the unit fell 0.6 percent at $5.35 billion and Oibda slid 15 percent. Bienenstock sees T-Mobile USA sales rising between zero and 1 percent this year.
Catching Up
"We currently have the fastest network there," CEO Obermann said in an interview with newspaper Bild am Sonntag on Jan. 15. "But we also need aggressive marketing and a very customer-friendly price policy. We need to sharpen our arguments for why customers should come to us and stay with us."
Since 2008, T-Mobile has struggled to catch up with rivals on coverage. It spent more than $9 billion to expand its 3G network and update the speed to so-called HSPA+.
It expanded its smartphone line-up, with 41 percent of them now running on Android, according to Mark Donovan, senior vice president for mobile at researcher ComScore Inc.
"They've really pushed hard to bring smartphones to the masses," said Donovan from Reston, Virginia. "They've also been very aggressive on pricing of data."
According to eMarketer, Android surpassed Apple in November to become the second-largest smartphone platform in the U.S. after Research In Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerry. Apple came in third. The number of U.S. smartphone users is expected to increase to 84.4 million in 2012 from 60.2 million in 2010.
Partner Needed
T-Mobile will eventually need more spectrum, said Daniel Hays, a partner at PRTM in Washington. Its current network can support growth into 2012 and 2013 and has allowed T-Mobile USA "to have a credible data offering without having to rush into the arms of a potential partner," he said.
Among them are Clearwire Corp., majority-owned by Sprint, and billionaire Philip Falcone's wireless communications venture LightSquared Inc., which need to sell spectrum or find partners to build a next generation network on their frequencies.
Clearwire is struggling to raise funds as it loses support from Sprint. Meanwhile, LightSquared is racing to fulfil an accord reached with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to employ a combination satellite-terrestrial network for 100 million Americans by the end of 2012 and 260 million by 2016.
Cheap Spectrum
That pressure may make spectrum available to T-Mobile at a discount, Bernstein's Bienenstock said.
Clearwire may seek to sell assets, including some spectrum, spokesman Mike Digioia said. "We have talked to T-Mobile in the past," he said. LightSquared spokesman Blair Kutrow declined to comment on potential partners.
Sprint's 900 Mhz spectrum may be "a lot more complementary" for T-Mobile USA, Bienenstock said. Cristi Allen, a Sprint spokeswoman, declined to comment.
For now, Deutsche Telekom says it's not interested. Last week, Chief Financial Officer Timotheus Hoettges reiterated that the company isn't looking for large acquisitions. It has said if it had to go it alone, it could.
Bienenstock isn't convinced. "I think they're going to talk to Sprint this year," she said.

Faster 4G network on its way
Jan 8th
- Follow Metro
Verizon Wireless' announcement that it is expanding its faster 4G network to Augusta and Aiken was part of a flurry of similar announcements this week by wireless carriers as they seek to capture more wireless and mobile customers.
Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile all said they were introducing new 4G smart phones and tablets this year, though Verizon has been the only one to mention the Augusta market specifically so far.
The city was one of 140 markets chosen for the expansion of Verizon's 4G Long Term Evolution network, said Kate Jay, the company's spokeswoman for Georgia and Alabama.
"It's really about lightning fast speeds," she said. "The speed of our 4G network is up to 10 times faster than our 3G network."
Jay did not have a specific date the expansion would occur.
Glenn Cannon, walking out of the Verizon store in Mullins Crossing shopping center on Friday, said he is looking forward to the faster downloading speed of the new network.
Cannon, who uses the original Droid mobile phone, said he mainly uses his smartphone for e-mail and navigation purposes.
"Obviously, faster is always better," he said. "I think it will be very beneficial."
The coverage area will include Augusta, North Augusta, Aiken and the Interstate 20 corridor.
Verizon's 4G network's initial launch last year included Atlanta and Athens.
The 4G network will be available on 4G-compatible devices, Jay said. Those include a slate of new products Verizon said this week it is launching, including smart phones from HTC, Motorola LG and Samsung, tablets from Samsung and Motorola and two notebooks from HP.
AT&T said in a news release Wednesday that it plans to launch its LTE services by the middle of the year and introduce 20 4G devices by the end of 2011. Like Verizon, it currently offers only two laptop cards that are compatible with the faster next generation network.
Sprint Nextel Corp. announced Thursday it will offer BlackBerry's 4G PlayBook tablet by the summer, and T-Mobile also said it would offer its first 4G tablet in a partnership with Google.
Jay said expanding Verizon's 4G network is a priority for the company.
"We really have an aggressive expansion plan," she said. "By the end of 2013, we plan to have 4G everywhere that 3G is."

Hackers break into GSM network, can listen to your phone calls
Dec 31st
Hackers have broken into the mobile phone GSM network and can now eavesdrop on your calls using dirt cheap handsets, according to security researchers at the Chaos Computer Club Congress.
Two researchers, Karsten Nohl and Sylvain Munaut, showed off a toolkit they developed over the last year for getting access to other people's calls.
They were able to demonstrate how they could locate and seize a uniquely identified phone, along with intercepting call and text data sent from the phone to the base station.
A vital part of the process is using cheap Motorola phones, costing only €10 ($13) which can have their firmware replaced by an unfiltered open source alternative, the duo told the BBC. This new firmware allows the user to see all of the data being broadcast from a base station.
The ability to make this attack requires intimate knowledge of the technology and software involved, preventing an Average Joe from spying on his neighbours, but there are some concerns raised about the ability to target a unique phone, which could lead to eavesdropping on high-profile targets, such as politicians and celebrities.
The toolkit will not be released to the public, but it's likely that hackers will figure out the missing pieces of the puzzles for themselves. Mobile operators were prompted to improve their security to combat the gaping hole in their networks.
With an estimated five billion GSM mobile phones in the world, that's a lot of phone calls that are now at risk. If only Coulson had known.
Verizon Will Offer Motorola Phone for 4G Network
Dec 21st
By SPENCER E. ANTE
Verizon Wireless will distribute a phone made by Motorola Inc. to run on its speedy new 4G network next year, the carrier's chief operating officer, John Stratton, said in an interview Tuesday.
The comments mark the first time the carrier has identified a handset maker for the closely watched launch and represents an important vote of confidence in Motorola, which could soon be competing with Apple for the attentions of its most important carrier.
Verizon Wireless launched its high-speed, fourth-generation network earlier this month, but has yet to introduce any mobile phones that can use it. The network, which employs a technology called Long-Term Evolution, promises wireless Internet connections that are as fast as land-based cable modems or fiber optic technology.
"We've got LTE smartphones around the horizon," Mr. Stratton said. "Motorola will be right there."
Motorola has previously said it would make devices that work on LTE networks in 2011, but declined Tuesday to comment on the specific timing or distribution of those devices.

Econet to Invest US$300 Million in Network Expansion

Econet to Invest U.S.$300 Million in Network Expansion
Dec 16, 2010 (The Herald/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) — ECONET Wireless Zimbabwe says it will have invested an additional US$300 million on expanding and upgrading its network by February next year.
This would take cumulative investment in mobile phone operations to about US$1 billion as the firm has already ploughed in over US$600 million.
Econet chief executive Mr Douglas Mboweni said the mobile firm had spent the money on equipment, technology upgrades and expansion projects.
Mr Mboweni said the US$600 million investment by Econet could easily rank as the biggest in the country by a single company over the last 20 years.
"From the time we started operating in October 1999 up to the time we published our financial results in February this year we had spent about US$600 million.
"Between February this year and part of next year we are looking at putting another US$300 million to upgrade the equipment that we have and also extend network coverage throughout the country," said Mr Mboweni.
He said that advanced equipment would enable the mobile telecommunications firm to grow its subscriber base and improve efficiencies. The mobile phone operator has seen its subscriber base grow from just over one million at the beginning of last year to over five million as of last month.
Mr Mboweni said the company would set its next subscriber target at the beginning of the next financial year in March depending on service demand.
Asked to explain the reasons behind the challenges subscribers were having accessing services, Mr Mboweni said that was a result of upgrades to the network system, which comprises technology from different suppliers. Econet has over the years bought equipment from Ericsson in Sweden and ZTE of China. Upgrading the equipment sometimes disrupted the network.
Econet is now the country's largest mobile phone operators followed by Telecel, which has about 1,2 million susbcribers and NetOne at about 600 000 subscribers.
In the half year to June Econet churned out a set of impressive financial results reporting an 80 percent jump in revenue to US$235,5 million compared to US$131,5 million for the same period ending August 31 2009.
Profit before tax stood at US$64,3 million, an increase of 36 percent on the same period the previous year while the firm's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation stood at US$114,9 million to give earnings per share (EPS) of US$0,38 up from US$0,24 last year. The performance of the company, which includes results of its subsidiaries, was attributed to an increased mobile telephony subscriber base.
Zimbabwe's largest mobile phone company introduced prepaid roaming services to cater for the high cross-border traffic especially into South Africa.
Econet has since sought to capitalise on its large and increasing subscriber base by introducing products such as Ecolife, a collaborative life assurance product with First Mutual Life.
The product gives subscribers life cover from the country's second largest insurer based on the prepaid airtime bought. Econet has also expanded its 3G coverage beyond Harare to other major cities and towns, a development set to contribute significantly to revenues in the future.

AT&T having cell network trouble
Dec 11th
AT&T customers in Calhoun County may have noticed problems with their mobile phone service in recent days. A company spokesman says engineers are working on the problem.
"We certainly apologize to the folks that are being inconvenienced by this," said the spokesman, Mike Barger.
Barger said that some customers experience degradations in service when the company is upgrading its networks to the higher-capacity 3G standard. AT&T announced just such an upgrade in Anniston and surrounding communities in late November, saying the changes would be complete by the end of the year.
But Barger said Friday he did not know if the upgrade was the cause of the recent problems in Calhoun County.
In some cases, the problem manifests itself when someone tries to call an AT&T cell phone customer and the customer doesn't receive the call. If the caller leaves a voicemail, the customer might receive it immediately or hours later.
Anniston resident Jermario Stewart said that happened to him on Thursday.
"I didn't think much of it," Stewart said, because the service here is normally spotty, he said. Stewart said he's looking forward to the 3G upgrade so he can get more use out of his iPhone 4, the high-end smart phone made by Apple Inc. The phones can access the Internet much more easily when connected to a 3G network.

Traveling along interstate 77 in Ohio there's a town called Canton. Canton lies 24 miles south of Akron and 60 miles south of Cleveland. It was founded in 1805, became known as a village in 1822, then became a city in 1838. Canton was named by the person that originally surveyed the land, Bezaleel Wells. It is named after Canton, China. It was named in memorial to Wells' good friend John O'Donnell, a trader.
As of 2004, Canton was ranked 8th among the cities in Ohio with a population of 73,007. William McKinley's tomb and presidential library are in Canton along with the Canton Museum of Art, First Ladies National Historic Site, Fawcett Stadium, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
William McKinley's tomb and presidential library are located in the McKinley National Memorial. On these 22 acres you will discover the history of the man who served as President of the United States from 1897 until his assassination in 1901. This area (along with The First Ladies National Historic Site) is listed under the U.S. National Registry of Historic Places and is a U.S. National History Landmark.
The First Ladies National Historic Site was established in 2000 in celebration of the presidential first ladies of the United States. There are two buildings, an education and research center along with the Ida Saxton McKinley Historic Home. The Education and Research Center has varied information and learning experiences as well as a replica of the first White House Library attributed to Abigail Fillmore. The Ida Saxton McKinley Historic Home is the preserved home of the First Lady, built in 1841 and modified in 1865.
The Canton Museum of Art was founded in 1935 as a gathering place for artists to meet and exhibit their works. Today, it houses several permanent collections as well as featured exhibits. Once a year the library devotes space to high school students and they award scholarships for both college and CMA art classes.
Canton has the Fawcett Stadium where, each year, the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game is played. It also serves as a stadium for a variety of high school and college games throughout the season. The Pro Football Hall of Fame was opened in 1963. There are 267 members of the hall of fame. With seven galleries and an appreciation of professional football, this could be an all-day experience.
Driving across I-77, Canton may seem small compared to other cities but this 25.48 square mile city is home of a wealth of history and entertainment.

Long time readers of the National Dog News column may recall a special puppy who was featured several years ago...her name at that time was Coco, and she had been found dragging herself along a road because her rear legs did not work.
At that point in time, Coco was homeless - and her special needs made the likelihood of her being adopted slim...but she overcame that hurdle and found an amazing home with someone who had read the article. Under her new guardian's loving care, Coco, who was renamed "Sallie," flourished.
Tragedy struck again for this beautiful dog when her beloved guardian was stricken with an aggressive form of esophageal cancer - the surgery and subsequent treatments left Sallie's guardian hospitalized for months and all of her dogs had to find new homes.
Fortunately, the other dogs were able to find wonderful new families, but Sallie, the dog with the special needs, did not find anyone and she was sent to boarding for a year.
Thanks to Sallie's prior spinal injury, she has problems with incontinence - the woman who adopted her did not have problems with Sallie's medical issue, but it is preventing anyone new from giving Sallie a chance. The Missouri Pit Bull Rescue, who is trying to help Sallie find a home, wrote:
Because of the severe injury she suffered in her rear end, Sallie developed a weakness in her bladder muscles. While struggling with this, she had to spend many months in boarding without frequent access to going outside to potty. As a result, poor Sallie is not able to hold urine very long. We have no doubt she would already be adopted of it was not for this little set-back but so far, no one seems willing to give her a chance.
Sallie would do better in a home with someone who's home a lot to let her out often, or in a home with a secured fenced yard and a doggy-door. At the shelter, she uses her doggy door to potty outside. She understands the concept of pottying outside; She's just not able to hold it very long. It's not her fault....
Personality-wise, Sallie is a catch...she is described as a lovable "goofball" who enjoys the company of people and most other dogs. Sallie "doesn't know a stranger," and aside from her special-needs issue, she is practically perfect.
Sallie has had too many hurdles in her short life - it is time for her to catch a break. Please click here to read more about this special girl, and for those who are interested in providing her with a home, there is a link to adopt.
Sallie's former guardian - the woman fighting cancer, wrote:
Sallie is such a wonderful dog - happy, funny, loving and smart. She really deserves a second chance. Thank you.
Note: Sallie is currently in Kansas City, Mo.

Astronomers Without Borders (AWB) is a nonprofit organization aimed at knocking down national and cultural boundaries by encouraging a common interest in astronomy. Along with their message that we all share one sky, AWB is now selling a neat little grab-n-go telescope called OneSky. The scope is perfectly suited for a quick look at the heavens from the backyard, as well as for throwing in the car before heading to darker skies. I'm reviewing this scope, and it is a prize for the price. Read More
Owners of small telescopes, rejoice! For that matter, on the night of January 21 everyone else can also enjoy the sight of Jupiter and the Moon at nearly the same position on the celestial sphere. Here's our advice on how best to observe this – the closest approach of the Moon and Jupiter until 2026. Read More

The majority of people would probably agree that being married, or dating, is preferable over the single life. Many are convinced that they can never be truly happy unless they meet that special someone. Growing up, we are inundated with messages of romance and one day meeting 'that perfect someone'. Girls, more than guys, dream from a very young age of the day when their handsome prince will sweep them off their feet. While there's certainly nothing wrong with desiring to meet the right one, having unrealistic expectations are damaging. How are single people supposed to deal with the constant bombardment of others regarding finding a mate?
Instead of being in purposeful relationships, many young people date for the wrong reasons. Often it's because they hate being single, are under peer pressure, or it's based solely on physical attraction and sex. It's been said that girls give into sex to get love, and guys give into love to get sex. While there is a degree of truth to this, sex does play an undeniable part when it comes to relationships. Young people are loosing their virginity much earlier than their parents, no doubt due to peer pressure, pop culture, and other societal influences. By the time a young person enters junior high, then high school, the challenge to remain sexually pure is in full swing.
Although once considered an outdated concept, the value of celibacy is being embraced once again. Even to those who might not be inclined to live the celibate lifestyle, seasons of celibacy can be very beneficial, whether someone is twenty or fifty. Many people go from relationship to relationship without being single for long, not taking the needed time in between to learn who they are as individuals. One of the most unhealthy aspects of this lifestyle dating is the lack of closure from one relationship before beginning another. Too much physical intimacy too fast is also damaging to new relationships.
The Bible, while placing a high value on marriage and Godly relationships, also has quite a bit to say on the subject of being single. In 1 Corinthians 7:7, The Apostle Paul wrote that he wished all men were single as he was and that 'it is good for a man not to touch a woman' (1 Cor. 7:1). Even in Biblical times, just like today, sexual temptation was an issue. The very concept of dating is a relatively new one, and didn't exist in Biblical times. For those striving to maintain sexual purity, modern dating can be a minefield that often opens the door to temptation, especially with two people spending a lot of time alone together.
The greatest challenge that singles face is feeling alone, and even awkward attending new places and events. Single people often feel like the odd man out. It often seems as if churches cater to families and couples more than singles, although the single person represents a significant part of the population. Hopefully this will change. What's more important than waiting to meet out soul mate, or finding another person to complete us, is embracing the life that we have today. Enjoying the time we have while we're single to discover who we are. The fact is, not everyone is supposed to be married. Perhaps the reason that many are single is not due to mistakes they've made, or doing something wrong, but because they've made the right decisions.

Singing in church and later on writing and recording his own songs at a home studio, he partnered with his dad in competing at a county idol contest in 2010. His second place finish in the 16 and under group helped him gain the confidence to pursue music in a more formal way. In the spring of 2011 he recorded his first original single, "Best Friends", at Sweetwater Studios in Fort Wayne. He has continued recording and releasing original music ever since.
In between originals, Spencer has covered songs from artists like Maroon 5, Jason Mraz, Plain White Tees, Cody Simpson, Justin Bieber, Andrew Allen, and Miguel.
His musical style is Pop / R&B and influenced by Acoustic Pop as well.
Spencer has received reviews in several industry journals and publications like
He has been nominated back to back (2012 and 2013) for Indie Pop Artist of the Year (AI Music Awards in Los Angeles).
His music can be heard on FM stations in Sydney, Australia (R2DJ & Triple H), Chile (Canal 95), KGUP FM in L.A., and several online radio stations.
Spencer signed a performance contract with iShine (Bema Media LLC) based in Nashville, Tennessee in June 2012. He is a recurring role on the TBN Network sitcom "iShine Knect" (as himself) and will be a featured artist on iShine compilation CD's and DVD's as well as a featured artist in the iShine national tour each Spring and Fall beginning in 2013.
He is a regular teen who enjoys life apart from music.
When he's not performing at a concert or in front of a TV camera, he is a committed student-athlete having played basketball since age 4 and baseball since age 7. He is a devoted Christian and hopes his music will reach all ages with his positive lyrics and entertaining music.

This project I aimed to produce a documentary series focused on a Gypsy travelling community, based on the concept or notion of sense of place and how this relates to a modern day community that settles in one place for a particular amount of time. My interest comes from capturing ideas about where people come from and the connections they have with a place. In particular, photographs that capture human experiences. I intended to visit this community and photograph a series of considered photographs that respond to a particular culture. In a way the images I have produced are a documentation of a travelling communities existence at a place at a particular time. The images captured are highly constructed with the intent and purpose to comment on a status of an individual and community within a contemporary society.

Preview: Man City v Sunderland
by Kate Smith
Match preview ahead of Saturday's game.
Sunderland head to the Etihad Stadium this weekend for the 134th competitive fixture between the two sides.
City have won 61 of those fixtures, with Sunderland winning 61 and a further 24 games ending in draws.
But it's the Black Cats who've held the upper hand recently, claiming four points from the eventual champions last season.
Ji Dong-won's late goal sealed a 1-0 win at the Stadium of Light on New Year's Day before the sides played out an exciting 3-3 stalemate at the Etihad Stadium back in March.
The draw saw Sunderland become the only side to take anything at the Etihad in the league all season – indeed, they were only a whisker away from claiming all three points.
Martin O'Neill's side head south looking for a first ever win at the Etihad Stadium – their last away victory against City coming in January 1998 thanks to Kevin Phillips' lone goal.
Saturday's game sees two of the Barclays Premier League's unbeaten teams go head-to-head. Only Chelsea are also yet to taste defeat in the top flight this season.
City, who scored a late goal to secure a 2-1 win at Fulham in their last league outing, sit fourth in the division and have won three and drawn three of their six games so far.
Meanwhile Sunderland, who have played a game less, have drawn four times and picked up a victory against Wigan last time out.
City's record of eight league goals conceded is double Sunderland's defensive total (four goals shipped).
Roberto Mancini's men, however, have scored 12 league goals to Sunderland's five.
Opta Facts
Manchester City have lost none of their last 32 Barclays Premier League home games (W29 D3 L0), but Sunderland (3-3 in March 2012) was one of the three draws.
Man City have won just one of their last five Barclays Premier League games against Sunderland (W1 D2 L2).
Former City player Adam Johnson has scored twice in this fixture, once at the Etihad in a 5-0 win and once at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland's 3-3 draw at the Etihad in March ended a run of seven straight league defeats away at Man City for the Black Cats.
Steven Fletcher has scored five goals from just five shots on target in the Barclays Premier League this season.
Sunderland are unbeaten in their opening five games of a top flight season for the first time since 1954-55.
The Black Cats have the best conversion rate of any team in the top flight (24%).
City have won nine and lost none of their last 12 Barclays Premier League games.
Steven Fletcher is the first player since Daniel Sturridge at Bolton in 2010-11 to score in his four opening games for a Barclays Premier League club.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
An Australian stomach virus is alive and well in Curry County.
Numerous people in the area are being sickened — even hospitalized — for an illness that immediately attacks the gastrointestinal tract.
"People think it's food poisoning," said Jan Kaplan, former director of the county Health and Human Services department and now the CEO for the nonprofit Curry Community Health. "But you don't get food poisoning eight hours after you go to a restaurant and have it for two days."
The virus can, however, be transmitted from infected food-service employees, as it did at the Oregon Zoo earlier this week.
Kaplan said the stuffy-nose, head-cold virus that has been going around the county has sometimes been misidentified as influenza, which has struck the nation by storm this winter. But as it has ebbed, this virus — a norovirus — has come to the forefront of those in the health care industry.
"It's reaching outbreak (proportions) around the whole Western United States," Kaplan said. "It's always present, but about every four years, the strain changes. And it's rarely lethal."
According to a Oregon Public Health Division communicable disease newsletter, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last November announced that a new strain, called GII.4 Sydney, originated in Sydney, Australia, and was confirmed in Oregon Dec. 10.
"Influenza is now really picking up," says Dr. Paul Cieslak of the state Public Health division. "This virus is just unbelievably contagious."
In December alone, authorities learned of 34 outbreaks or clusters of norovirus cases, most of them in nursing homes, schools and restaurants.
Kaplan said many people have called asking or complaining about the illness, but he has no firm numbers as it is not a "required reportable" illness, like, for example, measles.
The norovirus is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in the United States, with about 21 million cases reported each year. In Oregon, that equates to about 260,000 illnesses, 900 hospitalizations and 10 deaths.
Locally, there have been reports of people falling ill at Sea View Senior Living Community, Kaplan.
"I guess it was pretty serious at Sea View," he said. "It spreads quickly through enclosed residences."
Sandy Hicks, director at Sea View, confirmed that "several residents got it."
"We were definitely hit," he said. "But as of today (Friday), none of our residents are showing signs of symptoms."
Sandy said Sea View's staff worked diligently 24 hours a day during the outbreak, using bleach to clean door knobs, drinking fountains and other items every hour, on the hour.
To help stop the spread of the virus, Sea View posted "Stop" signs on exterior doors, warning visitors that the virus was present. At the same time, similar signs were placed on doors of residents who had symptoms.
The symptoms are different than those of the cold and cough virus that just made its rounds. The G11.4 virus symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, non-bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps. A general malaise and headaches are common, and low-grade fevers are present in about half the cases. The misery lasts 24 to 72 hours.
Noroviruses can be serious, especially among the young, old and people with compromised immune systems.
And they are remarkably contagious, the CDC reports. An infected person sheds billions of norovirus particles in their stool or vomitus, and it takes as few as 18 of these particles to infect another person.
The virus is sweeping the country; a simple Google search on the Internet shows outbreaks from coast to coast, affecting thousands of people.
As many as 30 percent of those exposed to the norovirus will not be affected.
The outbreaks identified most commonly in Oregon are those spread from person to person in long-term-care facilities, schools, daycare centers and outpatient clinics. Nearly two-thirds of Oregon's norovirus outbreaks have been in long-term-care facilities, the newsletter said.
Macklyn House administrator Beth Russ said there were a couple of residents at the long-term care facility affected in the past week.
"But it's almost gone," she said. "If you catch it, you rest, keep to yourself. We brought trays to their apartments instead of them going to the dining room. We wear gloves any time they need help, and masks, especially if a resident has some cough or cold. It's pretty much common sense."
Judy Kitchen, director of the Good Samaritan Society Curry Village said they've dodged the norovirus — so far.
"If someone does develop something, we keep them in their rooms so they don't spread it," she said. "We have had a couple of chest colds and pneumonia, but nothing severe. Six or seven years ago, it hit real bad here. After that, we took all precautions to prevent that from happening again."

REVIEW: 'Arbitrage'
4 stars
Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon and Tim Roth star in this business thriller following a crooked New York hedge fund magnate whose life starts to implode when an unforeseen, bloody incident threatens to expose him. Now playing nationwide.
An affection for professionally-assembled films about rich New Yorkers may be necessary to really get into this mild thriller, but I was ably carried along by its authentic portrayal of a rarefied world.
Richard Gere is very comfortable as a rich businessman who comes across as the midpoint between Michael Douglas' character from Wall Street and Michael Douglas' character from The Game. Richard Gere seems to irritate some people, so if you're one of those, stay far away from this as he's practically in every shot.
I enjoyed watching his powermonger squirm when the going got tough, and he also convinced in the family scenes. It's a tough ask trying to make a fraudulent hedge fund manager sympathetic these days, but Gere manages to seem genuinely conflicted at times. Susan Sarandon is fantastic as his wife, but she should've been in it more.
Newly-minted indie queen Brit Marling (Another Earth and Sound of My Voice) proves herself very much at home among the heavyweights as their daughter. And Whit Stillman fans will get a kick out of seeing Chris Eigeman as Gere's right hand man, although he too is underutilised.
Plus there's a weirdly appropriate cameo from Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter as a fellow captain of industry.
There isn't much in Arbitrage we haven't seen before, but it contains the kind of conventions that are fun to revisit with a skilled director and a game cast.

College Hockey:Walter, Schomogyi Lead Charge for UML
LOWELL, Mass. — Ben Walter scored two goals and Geoff Schomogyi added a goal and two assists as Mass.-Lowell beat out Concordia 7-2 in an exhibition matchup Saturday evening at Tsongas Arena.
The River Hawks got on the board at 5:20 with Walter's first goal of the period. Walter scored again at 13:06, with both assists coming from Schomogyi. UML built its lead to four goals in the second period thanks to goals by Peter Hay and Anders Strome before the Stingers responded with a goal at 11:32 of the second by Maxime Isabel.
The River Hawks took a 5-1 advantage into the second intermission thanks to a goal by Ed McGrane just before the break.
Concordia scored its second goal of the game off a Derek Legault attempt. The Stingers could not mount a serious threat to UML, and the River Hawks closed out the game with goals from Schomogyi and Mark Pandolfo.
Chris Davidson started in net for the River Hawks, stopping 12 shots and allowing two goals. Chris Wilcox began between the pipes for Concordia, making 22 saves and allowing four goals. Philippe Ozga came on midway through the second in hopes of stopping the flood, making 31 saves and allowing three goals.
Next Friday, Lowell travels to take on Colorado College at 7:35 (MT).

A Great Place to Vacation -- and teaching pays the bills
By Susanne Eineigel
You may think of Spain as a great place to go for a vacation—sun, beaches, and all-night celebrations. Imagine yourself living there.
Last year I taught English in Valencia, Spain's third-largest city and capital of the region. Foreign tourists don't overrun the city, as they do much of Spain, and the foreign community is smaller than in Madrid or Barcelona. This makes it easier to meet locals.
Moreover, the city itself is an appealing and inexpensive place to live, with a pleasant historic center and numerous art museums. The waterfront esplanade, lined with restaurants and bars, where on summer weekends the dancing goes on until sunrise, is only a 10-minute tramway ride from the center.
A three- to four-hour bus ride, the cheapest and most convenient way to travel, brings you to Barcelona in the north, Madrid in the west, and Alicante in the south. The famous party island of Ibiza is an overnight ferry ride away.
In Valencia, as in the rest of Spain, people are lining up to learn English. University students need English to find employment upon graduation, and companies tell employees that career advancement depends on their ability to speak English. As a result, English language schools are opening up all over Spain.
Most teachers are English or English speakers who have a European Union passport, which allows them to work anywhere within the EU. However, the Spanish government recently passed a "Law on Foreigners" which has made it easier for non-EU members to apply for a job.
The Schools
The two main schools are Opening English School, the company I worked for, and Wall Street Institute. The students learn grammar through interactive computer language programs and then sign up for group classes with native speakers. The material is standardized, so teaching is as easy as reading and following the binder. Little preclass preparation is necessary. You do have some opportunities to plan extracurricular activities, a relaxing way to get to know your students (both schools accept only adult students) and have some fun.
Other English language schools in Spain include Berlitz, the Cambridge School, and the British Institute. Then there are small private schools, some of which may be great but others pay teachers very little and may close in the summer.
Private tutoring is another way to make money. The going rate for English language lessons is about 2,000 pesetas ($11) an hour. Post signs at student hangouts and around the university.

Confirmed by the band's management, Dir en grey has backed out of their March and April, "Still Reckless" tour due to the condition of Kyo's vocal chords. Posted on the band's Facebook page, management has been quoted as saying, "unfortunately under recommendation of Kyo's physician after extensive examination of his vocal chords, Dir en grey has regretfully canceled their participation in "The Still Reckless Tour" and solo shows scheduled between March and April 2012."
They also posted the following statement shortly after, "To all our fans and affiliates, we are deeply sorry and please understand that this has been a very difficult decision for us as a band. To all our fans, please know that we are always thankful for your continuous support."
General response from the fan-base has been supportive, understanding and encouraging the band members to take well needed breaks.
Japanese music publication Oricon has also written about the incident. This was not an official statement from the band's management. The publication stated, after complaining of throat discomfort, the band's vocalist, Kyo, was examined and discovered to have a vocal nodule which was said to have left him with a "disabled" singing voice. Upon the advice of his doctor, the tour was cancelled so that Kyo may rest. According to a source within the doctor's office, the polyps had deteriorated considerably and further tests were going to be needed before they could determine if surgery would be necessary.
Kyo has been hospitalized once before for throat complications, back in 2009 when he was suffering from chorditis and laryngeal edema which caused the band's shows in Sapporo and Sendai to be postponed. Management at the time released a similar statement, saying, "Kyo's throat, by nature, is weak. Due to live performances and an overbooked schedule, his voice is fatigued. A short rest might be necessary."

We are told that books are knowledge. When you are a parent of a child with a disability you may not know where to turn. There are books out there that can help. The National Center for Learning Disabilities (http://www.ncld.org) and Bonnie Goodsmith put together a superb list of books about learning disabilities. The list is as follows:

The Dyslexic Advantage by Brock L. Eide and Fernette F. Eide

This book provides a very different, and hopeful, perspective on dyslexia.
A Special Mother: Getting through the early days of a child's diagnosis of learning disabilities and related disorders by Anne Ford and John-Richard Thompson

Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood by Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey

Especially helpful are the tips for dealing with ADD in a child, a partner, or a family member.

A Mind at a Time by Mel Levine

Ready for Take-Off: Preparing Your Teen with ADHD or LD for College by Theresa E. Laurie Maitland and Patricia O. Quinn

Later, when his oldest son was diagnosed with dyslexia, Schultz realized that he too had the disorder. In this inspiring memoir, Schultz traces his difficult childhood and his new understanding of his early years.
Overcoming Dyslexia: A New and Complete Science-Based Program for Reading Problems at Any Level by Sally Shaywitz
Shaywitz, a neuroscientist and pediatrics professor, draws on scientific research and her own case histories to explain what causes dyslexia, how to identify it, and how to help children and adults "rewire" their brains to overcome it.
Guide to Learning Disabilities for Primary Care: How to Screen, Identify, Manage and Advocate for Children with Learning Disabilities by Larry Silver and Dana Silver
Written for professionals, this book is also an excellent resource for parents. It offers detailed information about the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of children with learning disabilities and related disorders of attention, language and behavior.
School Success for Kids with ADHD by Stephan Silverman, Jacqueline Iseman, and Sue Jeweler
This book talks about the causes and types of attention deficits, how they impact school success, and how to request evaluations. It provides helpful information about the laws that offer protections and services for students with special needs, and tools for parents and teachers to help with homework, organization, self-advocacy and more.
From Emotions to Advocacy: The Special Education Survival Guide by Peter Wright and Pamela Darr Wright
Wrightslaw was created after attorney Peter Wright won a landmark victory before the U.S. Supreme Court that has benefited all children with disabilities. In this book, he and Pamela Wright, a psychotherapist, offer parents valuable advice for understanding the complex interplay of parents, schools, disabilities and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and other disability laws.
People connect with different books and authors so it is difficult to say which book would be what that parent needs. It is good to try a variety of books. If you know another parent going through the same thing, ask them if they have read and can recommend a good book. Happy Reading!

"I had become so inhibited from my corporate training –so careful, so cautious, so hypervigilant – I had to learn to ask, ask, ask," Skinner says. Finally, the American Center for Polish Culture, helped to fund her first visit to Poland in 2003 and connected her with Sendler and others who were part of her project. During nearly eight years of film-making and multiple trips to Poland, she fought bureaucratic snafus and language barriers. She picked up temp work to pay the bills, and spent all her free time on fundraising. In 2006, Skinner's mother died, without warning, and Sendler died in 2008 while Skinner was still working on the film. But in 2010, on the 100th anniversary of Sendler's birth, Skinner's documentary, In the Name of their Mothers, debuted at Warsaw's Kamienica Theatre.
The film's reception was "beyond anything I could have imagined," Skinner says. "But I didn't feel elated. I was frayed, out of money and scared to death." In the US, the film was rejected from film festival competitions (a DVD release in Poland broke conventional festival rules), but won multiple European prizes. Skinner started showing her film at churches, schools and libraries. The philanthropist Tad Taube, a major PBS donor, happened to attend one of the screenings and was so moved that he arranged for Skinner to meet with the head of programming at the local PBS affiliate. That day, Skinner came with a PowerPoint presentation, prepared to make the most important pitch of her life, but as she sat down with the station chief at a polished table surrounded by staffers, he said, "This is a powerful film. We want to ask you if you will allow us to take it national." In the Name of Their Mothers had its U.S. debut on Sunday May 1, 2011, Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Skinner has a trove of World War II stories, and is now branching out into educational film projects. Making the film was a way to honor her mother, but it also allowed Skinner to reinvent her own life. She was never meant for a corporate career, she says. "If you're a daffodil, you can't bloom a rose," she said. "You're a daffodil. It took me a long time to finally embrace that."

Jesus said, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. You should be happy that they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just."
This command to love and serve those who cannot repay us strengthens our resolve to love and serve the unborn children, who are in danger of being killed by abortion. They cannot know right now that we are helping them and speaking up for them. They cannot repay us. These are the ones we should love and serve above all.

Duty Booty
In college ?we called it a charity ball—?the deed done not out of lust, but just because you took pity on a guy. That coinage suggests bestowing bounty, while the term duty booty emphasizes obligation. Whichever you favor, the point is your generosity: Occasionally you get in the groove when you're not in the mood because he works hard, you love him, and he'd do the same for you. Praise the lord and pass the Astroglide. (Er, he would do the same for you, wouldn't he?) To rev your motor under such circumstances, a friend suggests, reframe the situation by playing a quick mental game of Death Is Not an Option. (Unfamiliar with the rules? You're given a heinous pair of potential partners, then forced to choose: "Would you rather sleep with Dick Cheney or Bernie Madoff? Death is not an option.") A few rounds of DINAO, and your mate looks pretty damn good. Frankly, duty booty doesn't require a 9½ Weeks level of erotic enthusiasm; you're not evil if you phone it in. In fact, if you find you just don't have it in you to have it in you, how about actually phoning it in? You can multitask—talk dirty while you fold laundry or make a pie. Fake and bake!
Where's My Stimulus Package?
If nearly half of women over 40 are experiencing low libido, then more than half are not. And men have headaches, too. Scientists now talk about "andropause" or ADAM (Androgen Deficiency of the Aging Male)—a testosterone drop in men over 40 that lowers libido. What to do when you're the one who wants a little sumpin' sumpin' and he wants nuttin', honey? When you want to get busy and he wants to get takeout? When a Facebook poke is no substitute for the real thing? For starters, you can (a) seduce him with a mix-tape of baby-makin' music (one bar of Barry White has been known to elicit a sexual response in the comatose); (b) announce, "Octo-Mom or me. Death is not an option"; or© send him to an endocrinologist.
Pass Incomplete (But Deeply Appreciated)?
You want him to want you. But you also want him to let you sleep. So when he initiates foreplay that goes nowhere—or even dozes off mid-maneuver—don't take it personally. You acknowledge that neither of you has the yen or the pep to proceed and give thanks that you don't have to make the beast with two backaches. In fact, you feel the same delicious combination of accomplishment and relief that comes when your lunch date cancels and the whole after-noon is suddenly free. Hey, you tried to connect, but through no fault of your own it didn't work out. How clever of him to find your Zzz-spot.
DINAO, ADAM, -spots of all kinds.
