Forty or so years in the future. The once-great city of Bohane on the west coast of Ireland is on its knees, infested by vice and split along tribal lines. There are posh portions of town, but it is in the slums and backstreets of Smoketown, the tower blocks of the North Rises, and the eerie bogs of the Big Nothing' that the city really lives. For years it has all been under the control of Logan Hartnett, the dapper godfather of the Hartnett Fancy gang But there's trouble in the air. they say Hartnett's old nemesis is back in town; his trusted henchmen are getting ambitious; and his missus wants him to give it all up and go straight.

Recommendation of the week "Book of Dreams" by Davis Bunn
"For Dr. Elena Burroughs, life is divided into two chapters-before and after the death of her husband. Today marks the point that her span of being a wife is equal to her span of being a widow. Even her success as a psychologist and her worldwide acclaim for a book on the interpretation of dreams is dimmed by an unspoken "If only…"
"Then a new patient arrives, one so private only her first name is given. Impeccably dressed and escorted by two bodyguards, Sandra recounts a frightening series of recurrent nightmares. Elena agrees to consider her case more carefully, convinced that something ominous may be at work here. Elena's interpretation of her dreams confirms that, indeed, the new patient and her family confront a powerful global network of dangerous forces."
Recommendation of the week "Sonoma Rose" by jennifer Chiaverni
"As the nation grapples with prohibition, Rosa Barclay lives on a Southern California rye farm with her volatile husband, John who found a source of illegal income. Mother to eight children, Rosa mourns the loss of who succumbed to the mysterious disease that is now afflicting young Ana and Miguel. Two daughters born of another father are in perfect health. After an act of violence against her, Rosa flees with the children and her precious heirloom quilts. As a flash flood traps them, only one man is brave enough to come to their rescue: Lars Jorgenson, Rosa's first love and the father of her healthy daughters."

College Hockey:Spartans' Grant bolts MSU for Ottawa
Michigan State sophomore forward Derek Grant has signed with the Ottawa Senators, forgoing his last two years of eligibility with the Spartans.
"This was not an easy decision, but it is the one I felt that was right for me," said Grant in a statement. "I love everything about Michigan State and I will always be a Spartan."
Grant was a fourth-round pick (119th overall) in the 2009 NHL entry draft by the Senators and left campus on Thursday to travel to Norfolk, Va., where he is expected to meet up with the Senators' AHL affiliate, the Binghamton Senators.
Grant was the Spartans' leading scorer in 2010-2011, netting eight goals and a team-best 25 assists for 33 points.

Pioneers in elegant, trouble-free faucet design.
"Harrington products are not just beautiful, they're guaranteed to perform flawlessly."
– Tim Herley President, Harrington Brass Works
Our founders were the first to import and introduce classically designed French faucets to the U.S. decorative fixture market, and Harrington Brass Works is still a pioneer in the industry. Originators of the often-imitated "Victorian" faucet design, Harrington continues to introduce unique styles and finishes in polished copper, polished nickel and Perma brass that set the standard for elegance in fixture design.
In 2011, certain assets of Harrington Brass Works were purchased by luxury brands expert, Tim Herley. Tim spent eight years managing brand growth for industry leader, American Standard Group, before joining Harrington as a Vice-President in 2005. Tim's experience creating and producing elegant fixture products is exceeded only by his top-down commitment to superior customer service. In forming his new company every business segment at Harrington is now focused on 100% customer satisfaction—and that's our guarantee
Harrington continues to introduce unique styles and finishes. Choose from our standard finishes including Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel and Polished Chrome, as well as our living finishes including Oil Rubbed Copper, Light Bronze and Oil Rubbed Bronze.

We gratefully acknowledge the help of two anonymous referees on an earlier version of this paper. As well, we have had very useful discussions with Paul Egré, Nancy Hedberg, Hotze Rullman and James Hampton. An earlier version of some parts of the present paper was presented at ESSLLI 2009 and is printed in the Proceedings of that meeting. We thank the organizers and audience at the ESSLLI meeting for their comments also. The collection of data concerning the acceptance of (what seem to be) classical contradictions when it comes to judgments concerning borderline cases was motivated by some more 'informal experiments' done by Pelletier and Len Schubert in the mid-1980s. This work is reported in Pelletier, 1988, but unfortunately(?) only in Hungarian in a journal that has ceased publication many years ago. The website http://www.sfu.ca/jeffpell/publications.html contains both the Hungarian version and an English version. (Scroll to #24 on the list of 'Refereed Journal Articles'.) This earlier experimental work of Schubert and Pelletier is also mentioned in Kyburg, 2000, who proposes a rather different pragmatic analysis of the data than the one presented in Pelletier, 1988 and also different from the one presented in the current paper.

In an interesting experimental study, Bonini et al. (1999) present partial support for truth-gap theories of vagueness. We say this despite their claim to find theoretical and empirical reasons to dismiss gap theories and despite the fact that they favor an alternative, epistemic account, which they call 'vagueness as ignorance'. We present yet more experimental evidence that supports gap theories, and argue for a semantic/pragmatic alternative that unifies the gappy supervaluationary approach together with its glutty relative, the subvaluationary approach.

If and when all i's are dotted, and t's are crossed, and Chris Algieri is officially announced as the next foe for Manny Pacquiao, Pacman trainer Freddie Roach will be tasked with getting the Congressman into fighting form, physically and mentally, for the rangy mover from Long Island.
And part of that effort will be to make damned sure Manny isn't thinking Algieri is a powder puff pushover.
Me, I'm guessing that Manny wouldn't fall prey to that thinking, not after seeing Algieri show a lion's heart and the caginess of a hyena in getting the better of Ruslan Provodnikov on June 14 in Brooklyn.
"Algieri won a world title, that doesn't happen every day, that doesn't happen by accident," Roach told me, when I asked if he thought Algieri was "just" a "runner."
Roach said that in fact, he thinks that maybe the Siberian Rocky Provodnikov may have underestimated then 19-0 Algieri a tiny bit. "And he didn't have his best night," Freddie noted, something that I pondered that evening, as I thought I had seen Ruslan a bit crisper, a bit more lively, in prior outings. "Ruslan was looking for the one punch KO too much. Those early knockdowns got him a little excited. And Algieri is popular in NY. I thought (and still think) my guy did enough to win, by a little bit…but it was a close fight."
Roach told me if and when Algieri nails down the Manny slot, after his promoter JoeDeGuardia hashes out final terms with Bob Arum, he'll still sort of wish that Algieri would be facing Provodnikov in a rematch, ASAP. "I'd rather that than the fight with Manny," he stated. "But Bob Arum said that Algieri is the one. Stylewise, I'll have to change Manny's mindset. He doesn't like movers. He's better when guys come right at him. Algieri should be in good shape and we can't take this fight lightly."
That brings me to a final point; me, I'm liking this clash of styles, and believe I will be watching with fierce interest when Manny and the New Yorker bang gloves. You might say that is because I am a New York guy. You could be right…but I don't think you are. Mark these words…the majority of you folks announcing on Twitter that you won't buy the PPV will indeed buy it, because if you don't you will risk not being able to say you watched it when the "mover" from NY became a real "mover" and shaker when he outboxes the Congressman. Will that definitely happen? C'mon, I'm no majestic prognosticator. But I see there being enough doubt in the air, enough of a possibility, that reason dictates I must watch. I wouldn't counsel you to do so; that's not my job. But I do counsel you have an open mind on this one, and see the possibility that the underdog just might do it again, pull off a bigger shocker than he managed against Provodnikov.
Follow Woods on Twitter. https://twitter.com/Woodsy1069
Looks like me and Mortcola will have to be the two guys all of you beat up on over the next few months as we cheer on Algieri!
-Randy G.
I am warming more and more to the idea of Algieri fighting Pacquaio. It might be because this appears to be the direction we are headed and I am trying to sell the fight to myself knowing I will buy it. But I am looking forward to it a little more this week than I was last week when we heard it would probably happen.
Algieri fought better than I thought he would against Emmanuel Taylor in February.
Then in June, Algieiri far exceeded what I thought he could do against Provodnikov.
Maybe in November, he can once again exceed expectations and give a surprise to Pacquiao.
I don't mind the fight, but it is not a PPV worthy fight
And still the WBO Junior Welterweight Champion of the World! I hope I'm in Macau for this one.
C-Al and tSR should dance again to settle the controversy, though. I wanna see the rematch. C-Al fought like he was doing a new version of the dance known as "The Cabbage Patch." Hehehe!
JMO, but I think that tSR would have him doing a new dance of KTFO and counting sheep. Haha! Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Wanna Bet Links
This page will direct you to the latest news and best sites about ABC Network's Wanna Bet show
About Wanna Bet
Wanna Bet? was a reality game show airing on ABC featuring four celebrities making wagers on whether ordinary Americans will be able to complete outrageous stunts.
An episode of the show began with four celebrities being given $25,000 to wager on the success or failure of ordinary Americans completing outrageous stunts. Show hosts Ant & Dec introduced a stunt performer and the stunt they claim they will be able to complete, and the celebrities then guess whether the performer will successfully complete the stunt or if they will fail to complete the stunt. The celebrities also lock in the amount of money they'd like to wager on performer's ability to complete the stunt, but the exact amount of the wager is not revealed to the viewing audience. The performer then attempts the stunt, and afterward the celebrities' wagers are revealed and the amount of money earned is totaled. The celebrity with the most money totaled at the end of an episode wins that amount for their favorite charity.

Gmail plugin enables tracking when and where you open your email.

A Stranger Can Find Out Where You Are By Getting You To Open An Email – On The Media
The ability to use remotely loaded images in HTML emails for tracking has been known for years, but perhaps not widely known.
The On The Media: TLDR podcast just re-surfaced the issue in the above article, where they talk about a free Gmail plugin called Streak, which provides this capability.
It automatically embeds the hidden images in emails you send, then lets you see when and even where the recipient opens them.
Because they appear to use IP address based locations, you can block the "where" part by using Anonymizer Universal.
You can block this tracking completely by turning off the loading of images in your emails. Of course, if you then choose to load images, know that you are also enabling tracking. If you block image loading you will also find that your email become much less attractive and significantly more difficult to read.

Lavabit and Silent Mail shutdowns
2 Comments · Posted by Lance Cottrell in Anonymizer, Email Security, Online Privacy, Surveillance
There has been a lot of chatter about implications of first Lavabit and then Silent Circle's Silent Mail being shut down by their operators.
In both cases, it appears that there was information visible to the services which could be compelled by search warrants, court orders, or national security letters.
I want to assure Anonymizer users that we have no such information about Anonymizer Universal users that could be compelled. While we know who our customers are, for billing purposes, we have no information at all about what they do.
This has been tested many times, under many different kinds of court orders, and no user activity information has ever been provided, or could be provided.

Email Privacy Hearing Set To Go Before The House On Tuesday | WebProNews
The House Judiciary Committee is going to be discussing the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. There is a chance that they will strengthen it.
This act was written decades ago, before there were any real cloud solutions. Email was downloaded by your email client, and immediately deleted from the server. They law assumed that any email left on a server more than 180 days had been abandoned, and so no warrant was required for law enforcement to obtain it.
These days, with services like gmail, we tend to keep our email on the servers for years, with no thought that it has been abandoned. Law enforcement is opposing reforms of this law because it would make their work more difficult. Doubtless it would, as does almost any civil liberty.
Earlier this month Zoe Lofgren introduced the Online Communications and Geolocation Protection act, amending ECPA. It would require a warrant to obtain cell phone location information. There is clearly some momentum for reform.

Did you know that over 50 million cases of beer are sold for Super Bowl Sunday? That's a lot of beer! But just because beer is apparently the most popular drink for Super Bow Sunday doesn't mean that you have to serve just beer.

Yes, it does contain beer but at least it's not JUST beer!
Basil Hayden's End Zone:
12 parts Basil Hayden's® Bourbon
36 parts light beer
12 parts frozen lemonade concentrate
12 lemon wedges
Mix all ingredients in a large pitcher.
Pour into a highball glass over ice.
Garnish with a lemon wedge.
Serves 12.
What will you be serving for drinks on Super Bow Sunday? Will you just be serving beer or are you going to be mixing up cocktails like the Basil Hayden's End Zone? Let's discuss!

19:57, UK, Saturday 27 December 2008
A Mexican beauty queen arrested in the company of heavily armed, suspected drug traffickers has been stripped of her Hispanic American beauty title.
Pageant organisers in Bolivia told local media that Laura Zuniga was having the honour taken away following her arrest.
The 23-year-old and seven men were detained at a military checkpoint in central Mexico on Monday.
Police found assault rifles and $55,000 in cash in the luxury vehicles they had been driving.
Zuniga was jailed on Friday for a further 40 days while investigators probe possible ties to violent smuggling gangs.
Police say they suspect the dark-haired model, who won the Miss Sinaloa and Queen of Hispanic America pageants earlier this year, was the girlfriend of one of the men arrested.
Investigators say he is linked to the Juarez cartel, which operates lucrative smuggling routes into the United States.
"Promociones Gloria, the company that created and is responsible for the pageant has dismissed Laura Zuniga as the official Hispanic America Queen 2008," the organisation said in a statement, according to La Paz daily La Razon.
She was to compete in the Miss International pageant next year.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon is battling powerful cartels in his country with soldiers and federal police.
Meanwhile, an army officer in the Mexican presidential guard has been accused of selling secrets about the movements of Mr Calderon to drug cartels.
Army Major Arturo Gonzalez, who was arrested this week, allegedly received $100,000 a month to track the president for powerful Mexican drug gang leaders and is suspected of selling weapons to drug gangs and training their hit men.
A security services official said: "The major was part of the presidential guard and a protected witness said he received money to pass information about (the president's) official visits."
Local media reported the drug gang leaders wanted information on Mr Calderon's movements to ensure they were never in the same location as the president and his heavily armed guard.
Gonzalez, whose arrest was announced on Friday, was detained as part of Operation Clean-up, which has netted several high-ranking officials accused of collaborating with the Beltran Leyva brothers, who split off from the Sinaloa cartel run by Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman.

Academic Standards and Academic Opportunities
1255 Angell Hall

Located within the Newnan LSA Academic Advising Center, the Office of Academic Standards and Academic Opportunities provides guidance and support to LSA undergraduates in the pursuit of their degrees. Working within Student Academic Affairs (SAA) alongside the general academic advisors in the Newnan LSA Academic Advising Center and the College faculty, Academic Standards advisors guide both students who encounter or anticipate academic difficulty and students who require special programmatic assistance during the course of their college career. In their role as teachers and mentors, Academic Standards advisors help students master the art of succeeding in varied opportunities offered by the College.
The Office of Academic Standards and Academic Opportunities is responsible for developing and managing processes aimed at improving the academic performance of students. Academic Standards Board advisors provide guidance and support to students who are pursuing joint degrees with other U‑M Schools and Colleges, who are returning after long absences, who are encountering difficulty in making progress toward degree requirements, or who are returning adults. In addition, the office assists students with special advising needs, e.g., students with disabilities, cross-college transfer students, and other special student groups. The office also coordinates the Individual Major program and the Bachelor in General Studies degree program.
A major function of the Office of Academic Standards and Academic Opportunities is the interpretation of academic policies, established by the faculty of the College, that govern LSA students. While students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with College and departmental requirements, Academic Standards advisors are available to help students interpret academic policies as they apply to them individually. Academic Standards advisors also act as consultants to faculty and staff on matters of College policy and interpret College rules for parents and other interested parties outside the College.
Petitions from LSA students for exceptions to the College's rules and regulations are reviewed by the Academic Standards Board in the Office of Academic Standards and Academic Opportunities. Exceptions may be granted if the student presents evidence of unusual circumstances or has an alternative proposal to meet a specific requirement that is consistent with the spirit of the requirement. Students who are members of the Honors Program petition the Honors Academic Board; Residential College students petition the RC Board on Academic Standing.
The Academic Standards Board manages the Grade Review process each term, including judgments of probation, suspension, dismissal, and reinstatement. At the end of each term, the Board reviews records of students who show evidence of academic difficulty and determines the academic status of those students based on the policies described here.

Feb. 1, 2012
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - Senior Andrea Harrison and sophomore Kellie Fox are two of 50 players named to the Watch List for the 2012 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award, as announced by the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America on Wednesday.
Now in its 11th year, the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award is designed to recognize outstanding achievements by female collegiate softball players across the country. Past recipients of the POY award include former Bruin Stacey Nuveman (2002).
While an athlete does not have to be on the Watch List to be considered for the Top 25 list, which will be announced on April 11, the eventual USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year will come from the Top 25 finalists. The Top 10 finalists will be announced May 9 and the top three will be announced on May 23. On May 29 prior to the start of the 2012 Women's College World Series, the POY will be revealed.
Harrison was named a first-team NFCA All-American, first-team NFCA All-West Region and first-team All-Pac-10 in 2011 after leading the Bruins in batting average (.409), home runs (15), runs batted in (52), total bases (126), hits (67), slugging (.768) and on base percentage (.512). She was also tied for first with 29 walks, tied for second with 12 doubles and third with 39 runs scored and seven hit by pitches.
Fox earned All-Pac-10 first team and Pac-10 All-Freshman squad accolades after placing tied for second on the team with 11 home runs, solo second with 45 RBI, a .608 slugging, eight sacrifice hits and six stolen bases, tied for first with 29 walks and third with a .342 batting average, 96 total bases and a .445 on base percentage.
The Bruins open the 2012 season next Thursday, Feb. 9 against Kentucky at 6 p.m. at Easton Stadium.

Anyone seeking evidence that mobile users are no longer simply browsing and researching on their smartphones but also pulling the trigger on purchases need look no further than a new UK survey by CapGemini and the Interactive Media in Retail Group (IMRG).
According to the study, mobile conversion rates rose to 2.03% in June 2013 from 1.27% a year earlier and while the figures are focused on the UK, I'd be very surprised to learn if the trend wasn't reflected just about anywhere in the world where smartphones are ubiquitous and tablet sales on the rise.
As mobile phone screens have improved in quality and (in many cases) grown in size, they have come to play an ever more important role in the customer journey and they offer huge opportunities but also challenges to marketers.
Let's take a couple of examples. Once upon a time internet and offline shopping were not only distinct, they were separate. Yes a customer might do a huge amount of research online but once out in the high street or shopping mall he or she was firmly in the world of the physical store where goods could be experienced first-hand but not easily compared to those offered by rival retailers. Now the smartphone goes everywhere and if a customer sees a bargain sitting in a shopfront window, the smartphone will quickly reveal if an even better deal can be had elsewhere.
The opportunity – any internet retailer can reel in a customer, even when they are in a rival's store.
The challenge. Viewed from the other end of the telescope. As a retailer you do all the hard work associated with displaying the products to their best advantage but the sale might go to someone else.
And later, as your customer settles down to watch TV, the smartphone or tablet are there too. That's potentially great news if you're an advertiser as you can encourage the customer to look at products online. On the other hand, the customer may simply ignore the TV ads entirely in favour of posting on a social network or sending an e-mail. Again, opportunities and challenges.
And a rising conversion rate ups the ante yet again. Let's go back to that customer who is out in a physical store running a price comparison on a new TV. As mobile conversion rates rise, so does the likelihood that the customer will buy online, there and then, using their smartphone. A sale lost for the bricks and mortar retailer. Another win for the online seller with a smartphone optimised site.
There will always be winners and losers but if you step back from these very specific scenarios, the real lesson to be drawn is that all merchants – online, offline and omni channel – must take the mobile channel seriously.
At one level that means accepting the necessity of ensuring sites are properly optimised for mobile and perhaps also providing apps to make the mobile experience easier. Equally important is to realise that mobile devices have to enable merchants of all kinds to establish deeper and mutually beneficial relationships with their customers.
One way to achieve this is to use mobile chat – delivered through the web or an app – to offer additional service, advice and help to potential customers.
And with rising conversion rates indicating an increasing willingness to complete transactions on mobile devices, merchants who provide information and help via smartphones and tablets can expect their efforts to be rewarded with by an improved sales performance.

Robert Mendelsohn [1]
Robert O. Mendelsohn
- Ph.D., economics, Yale University (1978).
- B.A., economics, Harvard University (1973).
Source: [1]
Robert O. Mendelsohn is an environmental economist and the Weyerhaeuser Davis Professor of the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies at Yale University, Professor of Economics in Economics Department at Yale University, and Professor in the School of Management at Yale University.
Mendelsohn was a contributor [2] to the first Copenhagen Consensus report, organized by Bjorn Lomborg [3]. The Copenhagen Conference came to the conclusion [4] that "global warming must be addressed, but agreed that approaches based on too abrupt a shift toward lower emissions of carbon are needlessly expensive." [2]
Mendelsohn was also critical of the Stern Review [5]because it recommended immediate regulations on carbon emissions, and because it suggests that damages related to climate change are higher than previously expected. [3]
Mendelsohn's profile at Yale [6] describes him as having written over one hundred peer-reviewed articles and edited six books. The focus of his research has been the "valuation of the environment." His most recent work values the impacts of greenhouse gases, including the effects of climate change on agriculture, forests, water resources, energy, and coasts. [4]
Stance on Climate Change
Although Mendelsohn believes in human caused climate change, he believes it is to expensive to increase regulations on carbon emissions:
"Economists have long argued that stabilizing greenhouse gases at 550 ppm is not efficient because the costs far outweighed the benefits."
"Aggressive near-term policies lead to abatement costs that outweigh the avoided future climate damages. Strict abatement policies should be delayed into the future as damages increase. Only modest control programs are warranted in the near term." [5]
Mendelsohn contributed to a report that concluded "There is broad scientific agreement on many fundamental aspects of how human activities contribute to changes in the Earth's climate. The radiative effect of increased levels of CO2 is well established." [6]
Key Quotes
"Although it is important to examine the consequences of today's actions far into the future, it is important not to confuse far future actions with what is done today. The impact of emissions that are made after 2100 has no bearing on what the world should do for the next 30 or even 100 years." [7]
"The world community simply should not support such extreme measures when there are so many other pressing issues at hand. The optimal response to greenhouse gases is to start modestly." [7]
"The results of recent research on the impacts of climate change dramatically weaken the case for expensive, near-term abatement programs." [8]

24 Hours of Lemons in a 1973 Plymouth Fury! - Roadkill Ep. 22
Enjoy a full length video from Stock Car Racing. On this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan attack the low-buck endurance race called 24 Hours of Lemons. Not content do do this ridiculous race in a reasonable car like a little handling-oriented import, the race car of choice is a one-owner 73 Plymouth Fury that Freiburger bought for $200 before setting it on fire a few times and then gutting it into a race car. The truth behind the scenes of this episode is that much of it was shot almost a year ago, and back then the guys didnt want to air it. Youll have to watch to see why. But now, in 2013, the story came full circle in a way that it only can on Roadkill, and so here we finally present the whole story.

In honor of three beautiful young girls lost only two years apart in fatal car accidents, the Walk of Angels 5K Walk/Run is held annually to benefit the local "Driving Angels" course for teens, as well as a soccer scholarship program for local teen girls. This will be the fourth year for this event, and so far it has been very successful for the community. With Miranda Phelps and Lauren Dietz lost in the first car accident in June 2007, and Jessica Phillips to follow in May 2009, their family and friends along with their teammates of the Corpus Christi Blaze soccer team do everything they can to try and prevent anyone else from following in this sort of devastation by donating to the "Driving Angels" each year from the Walk of Angels race since its start in 2011. So far they have been able to give a total of $12,500 to the local class to help teen drivers improve their safety.
Another benefit of the Walk of Angels is their goal to help local female soccer players with scholarships for school in spite of hardships that are out of their control. So far in the past three years, resulting from the race benefits, they have been able to grant six full scholarships to local young athletes looking to move up and improve both academically and athletically. These young ladies must be nominated to receive the scholarships that are being offered, and more information is available on the website at walkofangels.wix.com or you are able to email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The race will take place July 27 at 4389 Spring Grove Ave., with Check-In and Race Day Registration to begin at 7:15am. Opening Ceremonies will start at 8:30 followed immediately by a staggered race start. Pre-registration is required by July 20 in order to be guaranteed a race t-shirt, and to get the discounted fee of $20. Race Day Registration will be $25. There are more details available on the website, including some information about the course, race history and the Facebook page with some more pictures and details. These appear to be some wonderful local benefits to support, so if you are looking for a race on July 27th, take a look!

Free internet until March for signups to Telecom's new no-frills, no-datacap ISP
Singapore-owned internet service provider MyRepublic has set up shop in NZ, and says it will offer fibre-only plans from mid-year.
The NZ subsidiary will be managed by Vaughan Baker - until recently head of IT outsourcing at Vodafone.
Beyond the motivation of having no copper broadband revenue to fall back on, Mr Baker says "we will offer a superior customer experience, innovative products and services for a reasonable price" although he's yet to detail pricing and plans.
Mr Baker is best-known as the CEO of the Regional Fibre Group - the coalition of lines companies, power companies and fibre network operators, led by Vector, that mounted an unsuccessful nationa bid for the UFB rollout. In the event, Chorus won most of the country, but Regional Fibre Group members Enable (Christchurch), Northpower (Whangarei) and Wel Networks (Hamilton, Tauranga) won pockets of the country.
MyRepublic - credited with lowering broadband prices after it started up in Singapore - is pitching itself as a fibre-only ISP and plans to deliver products and services specifically designed for the UFB network.
Just 14,248 customers have signed up to UFB services of the 322,479 able to connect as at Sept. 30, and MyRepublic is aiming to grab market share while it's still unclaimed.
"From an industry perspective, legacy copper networks are much more profitable, which explains why incumbent providers aren't encouraging customers to move to fibre," Mr Baker. "It's up to us to introduce greater competition, to offer attractive services at affordable prices and help fibre really take off."
In a 2012 report on demand-side drivers for ultrafast broadband services, the Commerce Commission identified access to content, data cap charges and the cost of connecting as likely to influence uptake.
More recently, telecommunications network operator Chorus, which is building the bulk of the UFB, has argued that cuts to its regulated copper line service prices will undermine migration to fibre by making the older technology a cheaper alternative.
Mr Baker said the uptake of fibre services has been slow relative to the roll-out of the network, following a similar pattern seen in Singapore.
Since the company entered the Singapore market, fibre pricing has dropped, and the company this year launched 1 gigabit per second services in the Asian city-state.
MyRepublic is expected to charge based on the speed of its services, rather than using data caps, which is the norm in the local market, and anticipates this will be attractive to content providers.
Mr Baker tells NBR MyRepublic will work with all four UFB companies - Chorus, Enable, Northpower Fibre and Wel Netorks' Ultrafast Fibre.
He has yet to comment on customer or market share targets.
He says local investors will come onboard (the Companies Office lists MyRepublic NZ as a fully-owned subsidiary) but he has yet to name them.
It's not directly useful to checkout MyRepublic's plans in Singapore, given the city state has a different network setup and wholesale pricing regime, but if you're curious its home page is here. But for the record it offers up to 500Mbit/s upload and 1000Mbit/s (or 1Gibt/s) download from $S49/month with no BitTorrent blocking. ($S49 = $NZ51).
So the current providers want copper because it is more profitable? I thought they were claiming they could hardly make ends meet. As soon as people get used to data caps disappearing and more TV / movies on demand coming on line, the country as a whole will finally benefit from the large investment the nation has made in UFB.
"It's not directly useful to checkout MyRepublic's plans in Singapore, given the city state has a different network setup and wholesale pricing regime, but if you're curious its home page is here. But for the record it offers up to 500Mbit/s upload and 1000Mbit/s (or 1Gibt/s) download from $S49/month with no BitTorrent blocking. ($S49 = $NZ51). "
Just to further add context to some readers, Singapore has the population cap similar to NZ but on a total country land mass the size of lake taupo (basically imagine all of NZ crammed up on a recovered island the size lake Taupo) - the population density to coverage area of 1km is much greater than NZ hence why lower broadband prices of $51 per month is possible.
I think My Republic will do well in NZ but kiwi's shouldnt be to 'price shocked' if their competitive pricing is still higher than their parent company in Singapore.
sorry, to further clarify my above point:
According to Index Mundi statistics, New Zealand has a population density of only 16.17 people per sq kilometer compared to Singapore which has 7,680 people per sq kilometer.
Basically, more people in an area can have a direct impact for cheaper infrastructure and utilities pricing
Totally agree with point. As noted in the main story, NZ is a different market to Singapore. Thanks for the extra context.
Beyond that, more competition is good, so it's great to see a new market entrant - especially one with an exclusive focus on fibre.
The argument that copper pricing regulations will undermine the migration to new fibre has always run soft, especially when we have less than a 5% migration rate anyway. From a financial perspective, the service provider needs an incentive to shift consumers from one platform to the other and as long as copper prices are high that shift won't happen. Because MyRepublic has no copper products in the marketplace you can be certain that consumers will know when they can shift to the new service and will have a clearly differentiated product to choose from.
Finally, something that would truely make every Kiwi internet user better off, as well as using the fibre network close to its full potential. Nothing beats free market economics. I think it makes sence for Chorus to charge a higher copper price once fibre is rolled into an area to even further facilitate the transition.

The Lake City, Florida Christian Service Center (CSC) is a faith based community center that has been providing food and other services to the poor and homeless for 31 years. Part of the services offered by CSC has been food stuffs provided by USDA via the Florida Department of Agriculture. When CSC recently attempted to renew their contract with the Florida Department of Agriculture, they were told that the USDA had changed the contract (under Executive Orders) and the USDA food would not be delivered unless CSC agreed to take down a portrait of Jesus, the Ten Commandments and other religious items. CSC told them (in a Christian-like manner) to shove it. Good for them. They get a check from me first thing on Monday.
A Florida ministry that feeds the poor said a state agriculture department official told them they would not be allowed to receive USDA food unless they removed portraits of Christ, the Ten Commandments, a banner that read "Jesus is Lord" and stopping giving Bibles to the needy.
"They told us they could no longer allow us to have any religious information where the USDA food is going to be," said Kay Daly, executive director of the Christian Service Center.
The USDA referred to an Executive Order providing equal protection for faith-based organizations. That order guarantees those groups the right to provide assistance without "removing or altering religious art, icons, scriptures or other symbols from these facilities."
For the past 31 years, the Christian ministry has been providing food to the hungry in Lake City, Fla. without any problems. But all that changed when they said a state government worker showed up to negotiate a new contract.
"The (person) told us there was a slight change in the contract," Daly told me. "They said we could no longer have religious information where the USDA food is being distributed. They told us we had to take that stuff down."
In other words – the Christian Service Center had a choice: choose God or the government cheese.
So in a spirit of Christian love and fellowship, Daly politely told the government what they could do with their cheese.
"We decided to eliminate the USDA food and we're going to trust God to provide," she told me. "If God can multiply fish and loaves for 10,000 people, he can certainly bring in food for our food pantry so we can continue to feed the hungry."
In a nutshell, Daly said the Christian Service Center would not be compromising.
"We are a Christian ministry," she said. "Our purpose is to help people in need and to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are going to pray with them. We are going to offer them a Bible. We are going to counsel them in Christian help. We are going to use our chapel."
Churches across Lake City have stepped up to the challenge – filling the void left when the government took away their cheese.
"I'm called to do what the Lord tells me to do," Daly said. "I'm not called to worry about it. I pray about it. The Lord answers our prayers and we move forward one day at a time, one person at a time."

Just viewed your video on the debt, EXCELLENT explaination Tony! Thanks!
i want to change my life
Dear Tony.
I love your work and I wish I some day will be able to join one of your live seminars. I was hoping to join your upcoming shown i London because it is close to Norway, but I now had to give up the dream due to my financial situation. I would do anything to join the seminar, so I could have a chance to find the power to cope with life again. I am 38 years old and I have big problem coping with my anxiety and fears. It controls my life and it makes it very difficult for me to work and function in my every day life. I have lost my house and all my savings due to my lack of courage to deal with the fears and anxiety. I keeps me from being able to work full time. I have had anxiety for over 15 years and last years I suffered a massive heart attack that nearly killed me. I went through a quadruple by pass operation and got an serious infection after the operation. It has been hard to cope with all the setbacks and challenges. I have been very close to giving up on life many times and I am still struggling very hard to keep up the will to live. I should be so happy to still be alive and that I got a new chance to live, but with my anxiety and fears I find it to much to handle. A few month ago I was so lucky to find your book "Unlimited power" that helped my through some very hard times. I found this website and got a free session with one of your coaches that really opened my eyes. That problem is that my financial situation is so bad that I have no possibilities to purchase a coaching program. This feels so frustrating because this is really something that could "save" my life now. I see all the people you help through your programs and seminars and wish that I will be able to enjoy the same feeling some day. I watched the Lifeclass on Oprah, It was great! Hope you do more of this;) I would love to be able to live a life that is not only filled with overwhelming fears and anxiety, so that I would be able to appreciate and enjoy life like I did before I got the anxiety and heart problems. I want to be able to give my family what they need and to give them back what they give me, by being a braver and stronger husband, father, son and brother. I wish they could be proud of me and feel safe and taken care of. I have bought two of your books and they have helped, but I feel it is just to hard to handle it all by myself.I have no more strength to build my self up again. I need someone to help me find my way. If you need a test subject in London…I am game;)
I would do anything to be able to live an easier (more fearless) life.
Thanks for showing so many people including myself that there is hope!
Wish you all the best in London.
i have watch you on net and you are the last hope on earth for me i am 28 years old and very disappointed in this age i am struggling very hard as a teacher in pakistan.i am not able to convey my true feeling to anybody like anger, love i am extremely serious gay people dont like to stay with me plzzzzzzz help i am very disappointed.(through news letters)
Liked your input on the economy. More needs to be said about the situation we are in as a nation. In all reality the debt has gotten to big to solve. The interest we are going to have to pay will eat us alive. I hope I am wrong and there is a solution.
tks again, it was good.
I saw you on piers Morgan and was wondering if you do any pro bono work. I have been suffering from anxiety-depression for 30 years and have seen many doctors. I am on many medications and don,'t know where to turn as I still am engulfed by this disease if you can help me it would be a miracle. I am 67 almost 68 and want to live the rest of my life free of anxiety and depression. I live in Atlanta Georgia. If you cannot help me perhaps you can recommend some . Thank you foot taking the time to hear my problem. Sincerely Patricia Freiman
Awesome!! I will try to call in! It's so amazing…that's exactly how I got started with Tony over 15 years ago! I was watching QVC and he came on. I had never heard of him before. I bought Personal Power II that day. Now over 15 years later, I've done every program (multiple times), been to many events, and now I'm a Robbins Madanes Certified Coach and dedicating my life to paying forward the gift that Tony and Sage have given to me and my husband.
There are no words that could possibly be enough to thank Tony and Sage for who they have helped us to become and the magnificent love and passion that they helped us to create…which is beyond our wildest dreams!!! Love you Tony and Sage!!!
Stacey Martino
I went to UPW 8 years ago and purchased The Utimate Edge on Qvc. Since then I changed careers making over 100,000 a year. I lost 75 lbs and have kept it off. I am 61 and last year walked 60 miles in the Susan G Komen want to celebrate turning 60. I crewed at UPW a few years ago. I love Tony because he changed how I feel about myself.

The Airway Heights City Council discussed several items at the Feb. 24 study session.
Development Services Director Derrick Braaten began the session by discussing the re-appointment of Rita Osborne as chair of the Planning Commission. Braaten mentioned that he is also looking to recruit more members for the commission.
"She's been diligently serving on the commission for most of the term she has served," Braaten said.
Councilwoman Tanya Dashiell said Osborne ran the last Planning Commission meeting "smoothly" and seems to enjoy her role as the chair.
Following Braaten, City Ma...

Use the Plastica Lift ($18) by Steph Mantis as a soap dish, sponge rest or ring holder. Dip molded vinyl doesn't sound that chic, but this clean design is worth going on our wishlist for its versatility alone. It's even dishwasher safe and water and heat resistant, but we wouldn't use it as a trivet or anything.

- By admin
- 6 March, 2014
- No Comments
The Cadillac CST V coupe is an incredible sedan from the fastest family of car manufacturer General Motors. It comes with a 6.2 liter turbocharged 556 HP V8 engine as its heart with direct-injected four cylinders. The sedan moves with a speed from 0 to 60mph in a blistering 3.9 seconds. With high performance, Brembo brakes in them it gives the V-sedan superb stopping power from 60mph in 109ft. The interior has been focused from the drivers' point of vision and this delivers unwavering control of its stunning power. The 2015 Cadillac CTS-V comes with three bodies variant styles:
• The 4 door sedan
• A 5 door station wagon
• And a 2 door coupe
High performance of 2015 Cadillac CTS-V is ensured with a 6.2L supercharged V8 heart core. It has a six speed automatic transmission GM 6L90 and other variant six speed Tremec TR-6060 manual. The handling and suspension are improved in CTS-V by using BWI MagneRide technology, the dampers are filled with magnetorheological fluid, it gets adjusted using a sensor that takes reading data at 1ms intervals. This Cadillac retains the four-wheel disc brakes. The steering remains same as before, hydraulic assist speed sensing in rack and pinion style.
2015 Cadillac CTS-V Specs
The heart of 2015 Cadillac CTS-V is supercharged OHV 6.2L LSA V-8. It produces 556HP(415kW) and a torque of 551lb.ft(747Nm). It still makes use of an Overhead Valve (OHV) known as the pushrod engine, which makes this luxury sedan unique in the market segment where competitors use typical dual overhead camshaft engines (DOHC). The stroke, bore of the engine are of 3.62×4.06 inches, it is made with cast iron cylinder liners and the engine block with cast aluminum T5 alloy. Its pistons are specialized high- Silicon Hypereutectic. It has 9:1:1 compression ratio. The water-to-air intercooler cools the intake air, the intercooler being directly built inside the supercharger unit.
Standard Features and Options
The 2015 Cadillac CST-V still retains the attractiveness of the previous CTS. The standard features include lateral acceleration g-meter gauge which remembers the left and right maximum lateral accelerations, leather seats, 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels, a 40GB built in hard drive to store media, Michelin Sport Pilot PS2 tires. The other optional and standard features include sunroof, polished wheels, navigational system and the first class adjustable 14 way Recaro performance seats.

Cadillac has a superb top speed of 200mph making it the fastest car in the sedan segment, the only other rival in speed segment being the BMW e60 M5. Its rivals and competitors include BMW M5, Jaguar XF-R, Mercedes E63 AMG and Benz C63.
The price range starts for the base model at around $65,000.It truly is what its tagline describes "It is more than a car than you would truly need".

To NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, New Orleans is the right place for the league to be kicking off its 2010 season.
"It's always special when you're here, because this community knows how to celebrate,'' Goodell said Wednesday at Woldenberg Park after he and Michelle Obama participated in a youth clinic aimed at encouraging children to exercise regularly and eat healthy food. "They're celebrating a Super Bowl championship, and we're celebrating the start of our season.''
Obama's Let's Move initiative is fighting childhood obesity. The NFL is urging children to exercise through its Play 60 program.
On a football matter, Goodell said he's satisfied with how the league has changed the positioning of the umpire, the official who spots the ball. The umpire, who formerly lined up in the middle of the defense, now will be positioned behind the deepest back in the backfield, with some exceptions.
An increase in collisions between umpires and players were behind the change, which was recommended by the competition committee.
"We spoke an awful lot of times during the offseason, during the preseason,'' Goodell said. "It's adjustments in mechanics, not the rule. It's a mechanics change.''
In the preseason, the umpire lined up about 15 yards from the line of scrimmage. The league notified the teams on Tuesday that the umpire will be 12 yards from the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped.
The change will help a team using a no-huddle offense play at a faster pace.
The exceptions are that the umpire will line up at his former position, in the middle of the defense, in the final two minutes of the first half, in the last five minutes of the game and whenever the offense is inside the opponents' 5-yard line.
Goodell recently reduced the suspension of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger from six games to four.
Roethlisberger was accused of sexual assault but wasn't arrested or charged.
"A four-game suspension is a very significant suspension,'' Goodell said. "I think Ben has done everything he's needed to do.''
Concerning whether progress is being made on a collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players, Goodell said: "The biggest thing for us is to get something done sooner than later.''
The fans expect progress, he said.
"There's a tremendous amount of communication,'' he said. "It's not how often we communicate, but whether we're productive, what we're able to do.''

Altera (NASDAQ:ALTR) has done it again. The programmable logic devices maker came out with strong results for the first quarter, beating consensus estimates by a big margin. Altera has been a consistent performer over the past few quarters, as its innovative new products have hit gold.
Driven by a foundry agreement with Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Altera is gaining share in the field programmable gate array, or FPGA, market. As such, it should continue outperforming the likes of Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX) going forward and maintain its streak of impressive performances.
Getting ahead of its rival
Altera's performance in the recently reported first quarter was much better than Xilinx. Its revenue grew 12% year-over-year to $461 million, comprehensively ahead of the $438 million consensus target. Earnings, meanwhile, came in at $0.37 per share, while analysts were looking for $0.32.
Altera's outlook was also strong. The company expects revenue in the range of $470 million-$488 million in the ongoing quarter, blowing past the $461 million estimate. In comparison, rival Xilinx's performance left a lot to be desired. The company's earnings missed estimates, and its revenue outlook for the current quarter also lagged expectations, as it saw a drop in orders from a couple of large communication customers.
Hence, Altera seems to be executing better than Xilinx. Going forward, considering Altera's product development moves, there's a strong chance that it will be able to overtake Xilinx in the programmable logic devices market.
Product innovation
Altera's new products now account for almost half of its total revenue. The 28-nanometer process has been the primary driver for Altera so far, and the company seems to have successfully taken away some market share from Xilinx in this area. While Xilinx cited delays in LTE deployment as the reason behind its sluggish performance in the previous quarter, Altera was singing a different tune.
In fact, the roll out of LTE by China Mobile resulted in 20% sequential growth in Altera's wireless business. In addition, Altera is also counting on the growing adoption of 3G in India and other developing countries to propel its business higher.
The company's focus on making its production processes more efficient has helped it land some solid design wins. Altera has already started sampling its 20-nanometer process with customers, extending its chip portfolio further. However, it is the 14-nanometer FinFET process technology that's expected to become a major growth driver for Altera going forward.
Altera is developing chips based on the 14-nanometer platform, using Intel's foundry. This month, Altera showcased its FPGA technology, based on Intel's 14 nm Tri-Gate process. The company has seen some positive cues early on in the design process, which should accelerate the time to market for 14-nm chips.
Intel has played a key role in the development of this platform, offering its true die shrink based on the second-generation 14-nm Tri-Gate process. According to Transparency Market Research, the FPGA market is a huge opportunity since it is expected to grow to almost $9 billion over the next five years. Now, through this technology, Altera is planning to capture half of the FPGA market by 2019.
Altera definitely made the right move by tagging along with Intel since it will have access to Chipzilla's manufacturing expertise and state-of-the-art factories. Since Intel is also trying to maintain optimum utilization levels, its agreement with Altera should keep its factories busy. If Altera manages to achieve 50% market share in FPGAs within five years, Intel should also see an uptick in revenue.
Robust fundamentals
Lastly, Altera's strong fundamentals, and the fact that it returns a good amount of cash to investors, makes the stock more attractive. The company's debt of $1.49 billion is easily covered by its cash position of $3 billion, while a dividend yield of 1.70% isn't bad either. Since Altera has a payout ratio of just 37%, there's a good chance that it might increase its dividend in the future.
The company plans on returning 60%-80% of its cash flow from operations to shareholders by way of dividends and share repurchases. Since its cash flow is expected to remain strong this year, Altera could end up returning as much as $900 million to shareholders.
The bottom line
Altera has been consistently good, and its product development could lead to further improvements. The company has an ambitious plan of becoming the leader in the FPGA market, and it is working aggressively toward it. Moreover, Altera's shareholder-friendly moves make the stock even more attractive, and it could turn out to be a solid long-term investment.
Are you ready to profit from this $14.4 trillion revolution?
Let's face it, every investor wants to get in on revolutionary ideas before they hit it big. Like buying PC-maker Dell in the late 1980s, before the consumer computing boom. Or purchasing stock in e-commerce pioneer Amazon.com in the late 1990s, when it was nothing more than an upstart online bookstore. The problem is, most investors don't understand the key to investing in hyper-growth markets. The real trick is to find a small-cap "pure-play" and then watch as it grows in EXPLOSIVE lockstep with its industry. Our expert team of equity analysts has identified one stock that's poised to produce rocket-ship returns with the next $14.4 TRILLION industry.

Here is yet another classic case of why why why does this not come in our siiiiiiize?! We're feeling seriously pouty about it. We think the Toica Stefan Red Love Cardigan ($48) would look great on us, but we'll have to settle for buying it for someone in our lives who is small enough to pick up and kiss on the face.
