Sydney trainer Ron Quinton is confident Monton can create a piece of history and become the first horse to win back-to-back Villiers Stakes tomorrow.
Monton signalled he is on target for his Villiers defence with a brave second in the listed Festival Stakes, a race he won last year on his way to claiming the feature summer double.
He has to lump 59kg topweight in the 1600m group two race at Warwick Farm but it's a task Quinton says is achievable.
No horse has won the Villiers twice since the race was first run in 1892 and Monton is the only horse from the 2011 edition to try his luck in this year's renewal.
"There might not have been many horses try it, but he's in great shape," Quinton said.
"He has come through his last run very, very well and I couldn't be happier with him.
"Naturally, he's got a bit of weight but I guess he's earned it."
Monton, who will be ridden by apprentice Sam Clipperton in the Villiers, had his final piece of serious work ahead of the race at Randwick on Tuesday morning.
"We don't have to work the life out of him but we were happy with him," Quinton said.
Monton carried 58kg to victory last year when ridden by senior jockey Hugh Bowman.
He lumped 59kg in the Festival Stakes when he finished behind Malavio who was ruled out of the Villiers last week after arthritic changes were detected in one of his knees.
Quinton said Monton had shown a liking for summer racing which was taken into account when deciding to target the Festival and Villiers again.
All six of Monton's wins have come during the summer months.
"His form has always been better in the warmer months.
"He's developed that pattern in the past couple of seasons," Quinton said.
The Villiers normally run at Randwick is being contested at warwick Farm while Sydney's premier track undergoes reconstruction.
One of the toughest for Monton to beat will be Cabernet, trained by Matthew Smith at Warwick Farm.
The winner of the Summoned Stakes (1500m) at Sandown last month, Cabernet was a close fifth in the Villiers lead-up, the Festival Stakes (1500m) on December 8.
"Cabernet is in good shape and I thought her last run was good," Smith said. "This will be her last run of the campaign and we will look to the mares' races for her in the autumn.
"I think she's good enough for races like the Coolmore Classic and the Queen of the Turf."

Wow. Just wow. Like wow. It took a few times of watching before I could really process Obafemi Martins goal. Just absolutely sublime finish from the Nigerian and a big "did you see that?!" to his national team manager Stephen Keshi for not calling him into the World Cup squad. Oh well, their loss is our gain.
This might as well be a Social Timeline of Obafemi Martins posts but stick with me here. Three points is three points, right?

Badminton: An Aquinas College top badminton team will be battling it out for further success on the court today.
Last week, the team of four Aquinas boys - Jin Won, Paddy Low, Hamish Low and Liam Royal - competed in the Bay of Plenty secondary schools junior badminton teams' qualifying champs, playing in the division one section. The foursome won that division and play in the Western Bay of Plenty finals today.
Te Puke High
Football: A big congratulations to our second XI football team who played an amazing game against Trident on the weekend, beating them by a nail-biting one goal.
Our first XI faced Tauranga Boys' College third XI and couldn't quite break through their defence. Our girls' first XI played a great game against the Mount, with the final score a draw despite our team being two players down. Meanwhile, our second XI girls played extremely well against Girls' College senior white, beating them 4-1.
Netball: Well done to our three netball teams who made it through to the semifinals. All three teams played great on Friday, with our senior A only just missing out on the win. Our senior B and junior A teams fought hard to win their games and have made it through to the finals on Friday.
Indoor netball: We took a junior and a senior team away to compete in the Bay of Plenty secondary schools indoor netball champs last Thursday.
Our senior mixed team proved that they were not to be messed with, winning their first and second games by a huge margin. They then beat all the other teams, taking out the finals with a whopping 20-point lead. Our junior team was also very impressive, taking on two other teams and a team of teachers to finish in first place.
Hockey: Last Thursday, Te Puke High School Boys' first XI met Tauranga Boys' white. Tauranga opened the scoring with a spectacular backhand tomahawk that flew into the top corner of the net.
Te Puke replied soon after with some quick passing through the field to enable James Bristow to finish off in the circle with a little back flick into the net. The score was tied 1-1 at halftime.
The second half was an open game with Te Puke able to keep possession for the majority of the half. Te Puke also had the most opportunities on goal but White's goalie made some excellent saves. In the end, Te Puke were unable to convert their chances. Final score 1-1.
Tauranga Girls'
Football: Special congratulations this week go to Sophie Stewart-Hobbs and Emma Cawte, who have been selected into the Lotto New Zealand secondary schools girls' under-16 football team for 2012. These girls will be playing with the team in a competition in Fiji during the upcoming summer holidays.
Closer to home, the New Zealand secondary schools squash championships were held over the weekend. Fifty teams from throughout New Zealand were present and over 600 matches were played in the Bay of Plenty.
Tauranga Girls' College fielded a team for the first time in over 10 years. The team consisted of Lauren Clarke, Jamie Armstrong, Morgan Amos, Courtney Johnston, Michelle Prendiville and Sam Fredheim. Wins against Waihi College and Marlborough Girls' College and three losses gave them a final placing in the top 10.
This is a notable achievement, especially as the team is relatively young, with four junior players.
It looks good for the future of the team and new goals include a position in the top six at the nationals next year.
Netball: The netball season ended for some teams last week and got more exciting for others. Tauranga Girls' College league 1 (undefeated) won their semifinal 42-33 against Te Puke High School senior A, putting them in the final this week against Bethlehem College open A.
The junior As won 43-28 against Aquinas premier 2 to progress to this week's final against Otumoetai College junior 1.
Junior B will be playing Te Puke High School junior A in the final this week after winning their game against Mount Maunganui College junior B 46-21. The TGC Dominators are also playing in a final this week, against Otumoetai College black, after beating Aquinas senior blue 29-18, and the Gold Diggers won 42-30 against Mount Maunganui College Tawa, meaning they progress to the final against Aquinas senior gold.
Finishing the season on a good note were the Tauranga Girls' Crusaders, who had an extremely close final game against Otumoetai College 9B and won it 26-25 to take out first spot in the Year 9 B grade. TGC 10B were also in a close final against Otumoetai College 10A, but came second in the Year 10 A grade, 27-33.
TGC Diamonds also came second in their Year 10 B division, defeated 28-39 in their final by Otumoetai College 10B.
Football: The end of the football season is drawing near too and our first XI have comfortably won the premier girls' division undefeated, winning their game on Saturday against Otumoetai College first XI 7-0. Junior A unfortunately suffered their first loss of the season against Rotorua United in the senior reserve grade, putting them second on the table.
In hockey, many of our teams were successful last week. The first XI had a close game against Bethlehem College first XI but came out on top 1-0. TGC juniors also had 1-0 win against Aquinas College second XI and the Tauranga Girls' seniors won their game against Te Puke High second XI 2-1.
Inline hockey: Inline hockey is also going well, with the No Pucks Given winning their game against Matamata senior girls 6-0, their best score yet.
Gymnastics: In gymnastics, congratulations to Samara Maxwell, Anna Cunningham and Leah Madden who have all been selected as part of the Bay of Plenty artistic provincial team to compete at the national championships in Blenheim.
Samara is currently the Step 9 national champion and will be looking to defend her title at Step 10+. Anna will compete at Step 8 and Leah at Step 5. We wish them the best of luck as they travel to Blenheim in the October school holidays.
Netball: Eight of our netball teams reached the semifinals of their competitions, a fantastic achievement for our hard-working coaches, manager and athletes. Advancing to the division two final is our Junior 1 team who had an impressive win against MMC Tuis. Starting the game well, they cruised to a 13-4 first quarter lead, with all players displaying great ball skills and determination.
Up 28-13 at halftime, their passion continued with an emphatic 20-goal win, 49-29. OC black, 10A and 10B also advanced to their finals.
Winter sports: The Bay of Plenty secondary schools skiing and snowboarding champs were held at Whakapapa last weekend, with Taylor Christie second in the junior girls skiing.
In junior boys, Daniel Cowper placed third, with Jamie Matheson third in senior girls and senior boy Liam Matheson also third. That placed our team with an overall third placing. The snowboarding competition saw Liam Stewart third in junior boys, with Zoe Ralph first. That placed our snowboarding team second. This now leads into the North Islands competition in September.
Mount Maunganui
Netball: Congratulations to our Year 9 Karaka netball team in taking out the Year 9A grade over the weekend, despite being 22-16 down going into the final quarter. Mount College played the game of their lives to finish at the final buzzer 26-26.
Into overtime, the winners needed a two-goal difference to take the game. Cullen Watts playing wing defence took the winning intercept, backed up by Anna van Odenaaren scoring the winning goal. A thrilling game and fantastic performance by everyone on court. Full credit to coach Lisa McFetridge and manager Tania van Odenaaren.
The winning didn't stop there either as our 10 Kauri team also won the year 10B grade final. They easily played their way through this game, winning convincingly, 56-9. Well done coaches Kyla Faulkner and Drisana Parker and their amazing manager Karen Rust.
Rugby: Our under-15 boys' rugby team played in the premiership final against Trident in the finals day held at Paengaroa.
The teams were evenly matched, with both sides putting on a fabulous display of schoolboy rugby.
Trident set the game on fire with two early tries to take a 10-0 lead, before Mount settled into the game, scoring two great tries through Leini Hakaumotu, who capitalised on his speed down the wing and also finished off some great initial teamwork. Mount went into halftime leading 15-10.
Trident scored after halftime and also slotted a penalty, taking the score to 18-15.
The game was played at a fast pace and in the dying minutes, Trident sealed the win with a late try on a final score 23-15. A great display of rugby by both teams.
Surf lifesaving: Papamoa Surf Club took eight members over to the Australian national pool champs last week, with five of those from Mount College.
There were over 400 competitors from 48 clubs from around Australasia, aged 11-60. In team events, Mason Bryant, Ben Johnston, Michael Bryant and Hamish Smith (BC) got a gold in age 15-18 4x25m manikin relay, and Ben, Mason, Danny Hart and Seth Merrrett (AQC) got a bronze in 4x50m medley relay.
Another bronze went to Ben, Mason, Michael and Seth (AQC) in the 200m 4x50m obstacle relay. In individual events, top performers were Ben Johnston, who got a fourth and three fifths, and Mason Pickering who had two fourths and a fifth.
Football: Katikati girls' first XI played second on the table Mount College on Saturday. Both teams got off to a good start, however the Kati girls were flat-footed and Mount were able to slip in two goals before halftime.
However, Katikati came back strong in the second half, with Emma Roberts having a free kick just outside the box skim past the crossbar. After the Mount claimed their third goal, Katikati girls came back fighting with Hayley Sherriff scoring a goal in the last 10 minutes to leave the score 3-1 to the Mount. Players of the day were Lauren Morton Hay and Sherriff.
Our first XI boys played Trident at the weekend.
They came out with a 1-1 draw, a great result as Trident are second on the table.
Hockey: On Monday night Katikati's first XI played Aquinas College, Katikati coming out on top 2-1 through excellent goals from Caleb Ibbotson and William Van Loon.
Netball: The senior B team fought a well-contested battle against the Mount in their semifinal, unfortunately going down by eight in the end.
Well done girls for a great season. Congratulations to 8A, 8B, 7A and 7B netball teams for all making their finals in the Harbourside competition.
Good luck for this weekend.
Rugby: Three of our boys have been selected for under-15 representative trials being held over the next few weeks.
They are Daniel MacDonald, Rueben Mair and Siosaia Fitita. Good luck with chasing representative honours.
Junior sports exchange: Katikati College hosted the annual Waihi College v Katikati College Year 7-8 junior exchange this week. Games were played in hockey, basketball, football, rugby and netball. A great day was had with some good competition between the two schools.
Katikati College came out champions, winning the rugby, football, hockey and one netball game.

Former Kotoko star Ahmed Toure trains with Hearts of Oak
By Akyereko Frimpong Manson

Follow Akyereko on Instagram: @Akyereko_official
Asante Kotoko's former Ivorian star striker Ahmed Toure has inched closer to joining rivals Hearts of Oak after training with the Phobians on Monday evening.Â
The 27-year-old trained at Hearts' ATTC training grounds with the rest of the Phobian squad and head coach Herbert Addo appeared satisfied with his work-rate.
Hearts of Oak are in search of a potent striking force as Herbert Addo is unconvinced about the qualities of Gilbert Fiamenyo.
GHANAsoccernet.com broke the news of the Ivorian's arrival yesterday and can also confirm Hearts are in talks to re-sign former striker Prince Tagoe.
Toure will put pen on paper if Hearts coach Addo gives his management the greenlight to open talks.

Okay this really looks fun compared to previous stuff!
Oh wow. I must go to this place! :O
Awesome; can't wait! MORE PETS!
What about the old tickets we have laying around?
I'm sure you'll be able to trade them for something new, just like you always could with Brewfest. Either that, or you'll get some gold in your mailbox in lieu of them.
Anyone else hope that this line "and even replicas of long-lost suits of armor that we're offering for your Transmogrification needs." means T3 is back? or maybe D1?
This looks really nice- It was kind of sad that Darkmoon fair became useless at around level 50 for me (other than a once in a blue moon deck turn in). I'm excited. I'd love to be able to get that tabard.
God I hope that's T3.
I am WAYYYY too excited for this! This sounds so fun!
Question, do I have to hurry with turning-in cards? Or reputation have to be same or even easier? What do you think?
Hopefully it'll let you grind rep without grinding cards for trinkets.
Over at MMO champ they are all QQing about how it is "fluff" and not raid content.People, it's a carnival. It's always been a carnival. The saddest part is that there a genuine beef about raid content but the critics lose credibility when they complain about a carnival actually being a carnival.
Are you PSYCHED?Cause I'm totally freakin PSYCHED.:D
Except....they are both under the same heading? So most people would think that it would only exist during the time the Faire is up; same as all the other holiday event transports only exist while it's around.

Reward Offered For Info On Bojangles Manager Murder
Governor Beverly Perdue's office is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of whomever murdered a local Bojangles' restaurant manager.
In June 24, 2010, Kenneth Michael Leefe was found dead in his car, in the parking lot of the Bojangles' he managed. The restaurant was located at Little Baltimore, just outside La Grange.
Lenoir County deputies said Leefe had just closed his restaurant when he was shot in the abdomen. It was the day before he would have turned 56.
Neither Leefe nor his restaurant was robbed, and a motive was not released. Investigators said on the night of the murder, a dark colored Mazda stopped at Leefe's car, then sped away.
The president of BUSTED LOCALS announced on Tuesday he would match the Governor's reward of $5,000. BUSTED LOCALS is a magazine that shows mug shots of criminal suspects in Eastern Carolina.

Force myself out of bed.
Go to church.
Once at church the vases were always placed perfectly at the alter filled with long stem roses or pink carnations. I knew what was coming and I would wring my hands and fidget while I waited. Recognition.
I sat there. Just standing up was never enough...no, no...we then went into the special recognition. The oldest mother in the house, then the youngest and then the expecting. And I sat there. I had nothing to offer this day of celebration and honestly, I was so emotionally exhausted that I had very little to give.
I wanted to take time and write you who are struggling with the all consuming desire to be a mother. You are on my heart! I am well aware that the day is fast approaching that women everywhere will be celebrated, except for you. Do not allow the enemy to drown you out with isolation. I want you to know that you are not alone! There are millions...last time I checked the statistical the number sat at 6.1 MILLION...of you...us!
Do not doubt for one moment that God has you exactly where you are, waiting... for a reason. He is teaching. He is perfecting. Perhaps He is sifting, but He is there with you.
My prayer for you is that your sights are not set on the tangible miracle of motherhood. My prayer is that you will set your eyes on Jesus and allow him to perform His work of perfected love in you. Perhaps you will conceive and I deeply pray that you do. Maybe the plan of the Lord is for you to expand your home through the gift of adoption. Or maybe, God is calling you out, leading you to a life of contentment and freedom to work with and serve children around the world...or in your back yard. My point is this, Mrs. Lovely...God has a plan for you. It is perfect in His season and in His timing. While you may be tormented and muddling your way through this journey HE is with you. He is guiding your decisions. He is lining out your answers and if you sit still and calm that hurting heart you can feel His peace and presence wash over you.
So, Mother's Day is coming. What is the infertile wife, daughter, sister and friend to do? You focus your heart on the Healer. You cry out to him and declare the desires of your heart. You stand on his promise that no weapon formed against you will prosper and you believe.
Celebrate the gift of your Mother. If she is still with you and in good health, praise God for his goodness, ask her to share with you a new nugget of wisdom. If your Mother has gone to be with the Lord, then celebrate the legacy that she left for you. Above all, worship your Creator. He knit you together and he did so perfectly. You are his masterful creation and more than anything His desire is to see your heart completely rendered toward Him.
Infertility is a journey that others find hard to understand. Pastors, family and friends see the absence of children but they always underestimate the level of your pain. Press in my sisters. I am here and praying for you on this upcoming day...I know first hand the level of your need. You are loved. You are not alone. You were perfectly created for your journey. Trust the One who has your plans, they are good, you have hope and a future.

She's ready to fly the friendly skies.Posted by Donna Freedman on May 31, 2011 | 7 comments
Or, rather, she's ready to put her husband on a plane. Cindi, the winner of the TSA toiletries bag, notes that her significant other travels a lot for business.
Stay tuned for Friday's giveaway, which will be either a PF book or a gift card (but not an Amazon one).
Travel-wise, I'm having a pretty good time myself. Thus far I've made side trips to Hope and Homer, encountered bears and seen about 10 moose.
The most fruitful trip thus far, though, was the one I made to the Memorial Day sale at the Value Village thrift shop. I bought a nice (and new-looking) cotton shirt and a pair of jeans for $3.50 each. The jeans were a necessity since the ones I've been wearing for ages are fraying along the left thigh. Let's just say that I could feel the breeze when I walk.
The big score, though, was a pair of flannel-lined jeans from Eddie Bauer: seemingly unworn and very cozy, for $15. They'll be just the thing to wear at the Talkeetna Bachelors Auction and Wilderness Woman Competition. Anyone who wants to come along should contact me via e-mail. At least one reader swears she's attending, and we've got room for other wild wimmen.
For background and an eyewitness report, check out "Ladies: Wanna feel hot? Join us where it's cold" and "Live from Alaska: Frozen pipes, bachelors on credit and suggestive pizza." And start saving up now, both for the plane ticket and the bail bondsman.

Wieck: An Anarchist Life
David Thoreau Wieck, an anarchist theorist, educator,
I met David 33 years ago, four years after he started teaching philosophy at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. I had no idea who he really was. He was just my professor in "Logic and Argument," an introduction to logical analysis. He would come into class looking neat, hair combed back and shirt tucked into his pants. But not long into class, he was drawing his hands through his hair, and twisting with such excitement, that his shirt would be out of his pants and his hair would go in all directions. I had never met anyone who was so involved in his teaching--and this was about logic, not politics, remember!
David was born in 1921, to parents who themselves were notable activists of their day. His mother, about whom David wrote an unusually insightful memoir, Woman from Spillertown: A Memoir of Agnes Burns Wieck, was known as "the Mother Jones of Illinois" for her work as a labor organizer. David's own principles eventually led him into jail for 34 months as a conscientious objector during W.W.II. As he told it, there "I learned the methods of non-violent resistance and ... what a hunger-strike is like by fasting for ten days in support of other C.O.'s."
After the war David returned to New York City to join the editorial board of Why?, soon to become Resistance, on which he played the leading role until it ceased being published in 1954. This publication provided a crucial voice and support for many people, including Paul Goodman before he became famous in his own right. Another member of Why?'s editorial board, even before David, was Diva Agostinelli, whose life is a good story itself, including a family heritage of other anarchists. To David she was also "my life-partner."
In 1958 David returned to Columbia University, his alma mater of 1941, to earn a Ph.D. in philosophy and came to Rensselaer to teach. David did not draw a line between theory and practice, between an intellectual life and an activist life. As he himself pointed out in his famous little piece, "The Habit of Direct Action": "the important distinction is between talk that it is mere moral assertion or propositional argument, and talk (in fact: direct action) which conveys a feeling, an attitude relevant to the desired end." David was always challenging his students and friends alike to think more clearly and deeply about everything they thought and did.
He had a way of drawing humor out of people as well. It was his laugh itself, I now realize: so delightful was it to hear, I would do anything to make it happen. And yet he could be intimidating to people at the same time, as they were often so distracted by his penetrating eyes and sharp tongue that they could not hear the twinkle of playfulness in his laughter. He was a truly wonderful person, and the world will sorely miss him.
David was fond of saying that, as an idea, anarchism is a negativity, because it can tell us what we need to unlearn in order to be free, but it cannot tell us how to use that freedom: anarchism does not impose a certain life on us, it challenges us to make a decent life together, to rid ourselves of all vestiges of the authority of power, political authority. To understand the mutual aid of our own authority of competence, David liked us to picture two sawyers, at either end of a two-person saw, cutting through a tree. For the work we need to do together, David had a special gift of description.
Right up to the end, even though he had suffered from Alzheimer's for several years, David could display his customary insight. One of his care-givers, herself Black, told Diva that David had said to her: "It's not the heritage of slavery that is the problem for Blacks. It is their exploitation today." When the caregiver asked her own companion how he understood David's remark, he replied, "You earn $4.35 an hour."

John Schumacher is a regular contributor to anarchist publications and the author of Human Posture: The Nature of Inquiry (Suny Press, 1989). He lives in Troy, New York.

On the 26th of February my Mom suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm. I had just flown in from a business trip. Jacob had been staying with his Uncle Paul while I was away. I found that Jacob had suffered a small stroke. While my Mom was in ICU I was also trying to treat Jacob with Steroids to reduce the swelling in his brain. Jacob was a hardy boy, but sadly he started collapsing and became disoriented easily. After three weeks of deterioration I had to make the terrible choice to let my boy go. I wish my Mom could have seen Jacob one last time. Jacob adored his Grandma.
I think that Jacob left me so that I could still have my Mom here today... there was only one space in heaven available and I guess Jacob knew that me and my Mom both needed an angel.
I LOVE YOU my dear sweet angel.
11 Years ago, on a farm
not far away
My dog mum had a bunch of pups
All the more to stray
She hid us in a broken car
Way down in the seats
And 4 days later rescue came
Much to our mum's relief.
My first home was okay, I guess
But then things went awry
I was given to a nasty man
Who left me out to die.
Beaten down and all alone
Starved and so afraid
Please let me find my rescuers
Who came once… that I prayed!
And come they did
Yet again, to save me from the hell
That bruised my soul and spirit
And my little heart as well.
It took me years, I have to say
To really trust a soul
To live, to eat, to run, to play
To live a life that's whole.
But today is such a joy to me
I'm 11 now, and see…
My happy, playful silly life
Has truly set me free.
My Mama holds me in her arms
And kisses my freckly face
"Happy Birthday Kiddo"

2012 SRT8 Steering Wheel Wobble/Vibraiton
Hi All,
Looking for some help or support as to why the steering wheel in my 2012 SRT8 randomly wobbles/vibrates. It is not as violent as the "Jeep Death Wobble", but every now and then the steering wheel has a very noticeable wobble/vibration. Even when it is not doing its worst wobbling, I still feel way to much vibration in the steering wheel. My dealer says it is because of bad tire wear, but then has no explanation as to why the tires have worn badly. My concern is that there is something wrong in the front suspension or alignment. The wobble/vibration has occurred at various speeds and conditions. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Other than this, my Jeep has been rock solid and I love it.

Ubiquiti CEO Confronts Counterfeiters and the NBAAndy Meek
Robert Pera is a former Apple engineer who in 2005 started his own Silicon Valley company, Ubiquiti Networks, which sells wireless communications technology mostly to emerging markets. The company went public last year. On Aug. 9 it offered negative guidance due to counterfeiters' success in copying several Ubiquiti products.
The company's shares were pummeled on Friday, down 42 percent at midday. Ubiquiti was a $35 stock just months ago but now trades for less than $9, after UBS, Deutsche Bank, Wedbush Securities, Capstone, and Pacific Crest Securities all downgraded the stock.
Amid the drama surrounding his company, Pera is also seeking to buy the National Basketball Association's Memphis Grizzlies from its current owner, Chicago billionaire Michael Heisley. At a recent Board of Governors meeting in Las Vegas, NBA Commissioner David Stern said Pera's bid "is proceeding on pace, and we hope in the next couple of months to be able to approve that." Pera's wealth is tied primarily to his 58 million shares of Ubiquiti, a stake valued at $868 million before the stock's steep selloff Friday.
Ubiquiti reported revenue of almost $95 million for its fiscal fourth quarter, up 40 percent from $67.6 million during the same period last year. For the next few months, though, the San Jose (Calif.)-based company expects rampant counterfeiting of its products to take a toll on its business. According to the company, the amount of counterfeited goods in the marketplace, "combined with the impact it has on our distributors' inventory and the purchasing patterns of our customers, will impact our business outlook for the next two fiscal quarters." Ubiquiti said it has taken "comprehensive legal action" to minimize those effects, including the recent hire of a new general counsel and the beefing up of legal teams in the U.S. and Asia. In July the company said it had won a preliminary injunction in U.S. District Court in California against Kozumi USA and that firm's owner from using Ubiquiti's trademarks.
"The problem we have is not like counterfeit shoes or Gucci purses showing up in shopping areas where people know they're buying counterfeit goods," Pera told analysts. "What we're facing are a group of very resourceful ex-distributors who know our sales channel, have managed to get our [intellectual property] in China, set up manufacturing facilities, and have basically placed their products in legitimate sales channels," he said. "This is almost like identity theft in a way."
In a tweet on Thursday, CNBC commentator Herb Greenberg quipped: "I've seen a lot and never seen a tech company blame counterfeit goods for its problems." In a follow-up tweet, Greenberg added: "Of course, the other way to look at $UBNT: They must have a heckuva good product if it's being knocked off so ambitiously."
During a contentious conference call, a Deutsche Bank analyst asked Pera whether he still plans to buy the Grizzlies. Greenberg was also musing online whether the shares' drop would affect Pera's bid.
"I can't talk about the (basketball) deal, but regardless of whether that happens or not, it's not going to make a difference in affecting my dedication to Ubiquiti," Pera said. "My goal at this company is I want it to grow in the next years. Unfortunately, things from quarter to quarter I don't always have control over."

The bottom is falling out of the top of the wine market, and it's probably about time.
Total U.S. wine sales rose about 5% in terms of volume in the first quarter from a year earlier, but wines priced at $25 a bottle and up fell about 12%, estimates Jon Fredrikson, an industry consultant with Gomberg, Frederikson & Associates in Woodside, Calif.
One sign of the times: Auction Napa Valley — the premier charity and social event of the year — raised just $5.7 million last month, down sharply from the $10.4 million raised last year.
The upshot: Bargains a-plenty, especially if you're willing to comparison shop. Markdowns of 30% on premium-priced wines are becoming common.
Clue us in on any big deals you find!

A great deal has been said recently about the growing threat of a US class action culture in the UK. Even the more thoughtful commentators (for example Simon Kamstra in the The Lawyer, 25 June) regard the predicted growth of collective actions for damages with some misgivings.
But there has been far less focus on the obvious need for individuals, and increasingly businesses, to be able to come together so as to make their claims in court.
For individual claimants in particular the drawing back of state funding through legal aid – as well as the risks from the 'loser pays' costs system – mean that access to the courts has become the preserve of the rich (or the very poor) except for the smallest of claims.
Most small and many medium-sized business claimants are in the same position. All would benefit from better dispute resolution mechanisms to spread these costs and risks across a wider number of claimants in a single case.
Taking effective action
There is, then, a need to develop some form of a more effective collective action device so that privately funded claims can be brought, where they are merited, to claim compensation for mass wrongs. We can learn from abroad; not just from the US, but also from Australia, Canada and some European countries, such as the Netherlands and Sweden.
The thinking to date in the UK on this has been characterised by timidity caused by fear of the perceived 'excess' of the current US class action system without taking account of its benefits.
Two areas where collective actions have become well developed elsewhere are both economic in nature – cartel law and financial service (securities) fraud. In both of these areas the loss is caused to the market (or at least to a large number of market participants) and the victims may not be aware that they have been harmed.
They are also areas where public enforcement authorities (both at European and at UK levels in the case of cartel law) are looking at and encouraging more private claimants to come forward. The damage caused by these economic wrongs can be huge and high profile.
These are both areas in which the burden of bringing a case will normally be beyond the resources of a single individual or small business. The economic, accounting and other expert evidence required to succeed in a claim in these areas makes a means of collecting similar claims together of prime importance.
The effects of these kinds of wrong are also likely to be felt on an international scale. So, for example, the vitamins cartel has led to action being taken by public enforcement bodies and/or private claimants in Europe, as well as in the US, Canada and Australia.
Moreover, shares in the Italian company Parmalat were widely held (a class action has been brought in the US, for example), as will normally be the case for any major listed company in a global financial market.
Collective power
What then are the essential characteristics of an effective collective redress mechanism? At the very least it should offer:
•Ease of access and administration. A system that, for example, requires each individual claimant to fill out a lengthy form and to individually pay separate court fees before they can join in is unlikely to be attractive to individual consumers or small shareholders.
•The ability to reach a 'critical mass' of claims. To attract private funding for experts and possible insurance against adverse costs, a realistic minimum size for the collective claim must be attainable.
•Inclusiveness. There will always be some differences in each claimant's situation; what is important is that they have a sufficient commonality of interest for their claims to be heard together. And not all of the claimants will necessarily be in the same country, so the mechanism for bringing a claim needs to be similarly international in its reach (even if the solution relies on national court rules).
•Efficiency. Both the courts and defendants, as well as the claimant group, have an interest in ensuring that access to redress is provided in as efficient a way as possible. This is likely to mean that the courts will need a wide discretion to deal with the wide variety of collective claims that may arise. There also needs to be effective means for ensuring that compensation awarded is distributed fairly to the claimants.
The importance of experience
Significant lessons can be learnt from experience in the UK and elsewhere to date. The first is that robust court supervision of collective actions is essential from the beginning of the case. This must mean the court should be given a broad discretion to deal with a wide variety of collective claims in the fairest possible way.
Second, experience (especially in the competition field) suggests that a system that requires consumers and individual shareholders to sign up to potential litigation will not create a group large enough to spread the risks of the case. A claim mechanism that included, for example, all Parmalat shareholders (unless they chose not to participate) would achieve this.
Well-managed collective cases can bring access to justice to meritorious claimants in a highly efficient way, thus reducing the potential burden on the courts.
For example, in France more than 12,000 individual claims for compensation for mobile phone overcharges have been made in a large number of courts across the country.
A similar trend can be seen in the UK with claims against excessive bank charges by individuals. An effective collective resolution in one court is clearly preferable from a public policy (as well as a private claimant) perspective.
Keeping claims in check
Avoiding the excess that has appeared in the US is important, and this can be done by avoiding the combination of automatic treble damages and jury assessment of the amount of damages in civil cases (which can be highly unpredictable). The 'loser pays' rule, which has no parallel in the US, also acts as a powerful control to weed out unmeritorious claims and keep UK dispute resolution balanced as between claimant and defendant.
Without more effective collective redress – particularly for economic wrongs with largescale effects – individuals and small businesses will continue to lose out. Corporate governance in powerful businesses will continue to pay less attention to compliance. And public confidence in the fairness of financial and other markets will continue to slide.

Call For House Hearing On Airbus, Flight 587
By Howard Schwach
Two Hispanic lawmakers have called for a House of Representatives hearing on the safety of the Airbus A300 and the crash of flight 587 into Belle Harbor last November.
Representatives Nydia Velazquez and Jose Serrano have requested that the House Transportation Committee schedule the hearing. In a letter to the chairman of the committee, the representatives said that the Airbus A300 had a history of problems with its rudder, something that was reported in last week's Wave.
"Surely, the unusual circumstances surrounding the crash of flight 587 and the 20 years of serious safety complaints merit a thorough investigation into the Airbus and its safety record," the representative's letter said.
"There are so many questions about why flight 587 plunged into the Rockaway section of Queens last November," they added. "We believe that the track record of the Airbus 300 warrants closer scrutiny."
According to Velazquez, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued 600 "airworthiness directives"
pertaining to the Airbus over the past 20 years. Such directives are sent to Airlines to tell them of problems with the aircraft.
In both 1990 and in 1997, the FAA ordered inspections of the rudder to detect problems, according to the two lawmakers.
"Now, we want answers as to why the plane crashed in Rockaway. We have requested this hearing to restore the public's confidence in flying and to ground these planes, if necessary," the lawmakers add. " We don't want any more lives to be lost to this plane."
Representative Anthony Weiner, who represents Rockaway, is not sure that this is the time for congressional hearings.
"Hearings are always helpful," Weiner told The Wave, "but my inclination is to wait and hear what the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has to say. We have never had a crash of the A300 Airbus that was attributable to the tail section."
"My concern," he adds, "is that there be a rational process. I want to hear what the NTSB has to say, not add conjecture to conjecture."
According to FAA sources, only two U.S. airlines currently fly the Airbus 300. Fedex uses the plane on its cargo routes while American Airlines has 34 of the aircraft that it uses on flights between the northern section of the United States and several Caribbean nations.

One Wednesday morning in late June many, many of Tulkinghorn's scribes were nursing sore heads after a night on the West End tiles. The reason? The greatest, most glittering annual night in the legal calendar – The Lawyer Awards.
Let it be known that the sore heads weren't the exclusive preserve of a bunch of well-oiled journos. Eight members of Mishcon de Reya failed to make it into work at all the next day. They, however, can be excused. The double whammy of seeing the firm's ace band The Enlightened Tenacitists become the first-ever non-professional musicians to grace the stage at The Grosvenor on awards night (shortly followed by Berwin Leighton Paisner's Real State) and the firm picking up the Law Firm of the Year award were good enough reasons to tie one on. Indeed, the firm's unprecedented stage invasion, led by managing partner Kevin Gold, was one of the highlights of the evening, and suggested that more than one of the Mishcon contingent had tied
on several.
Meanwhile, comedian Jason Manford kept the crowd in titters and the awards themselves ticking along at a rate of knots, while those at the crammed-in tables started cramming in the wine.
Tulkinghorn, in an unusual spirit of generosity, blames the noise in the room for the apparent misunderstanding between a waitress, one of Tulkinghorn's scribes and Macfarlanes' senior partner Charles Martin.
"Do you need butter?" asked the waitress.
"Yes, four bottles of white wine please," replied the scribe.
"Did you just ask me if I'd peed in that bottle?" added Martin, combining a Cantona-esque turn of unexpected phrase with an outraged facial expression. Neat trick.
Meanwhile, Freshfields corporate legend Tim Jones revealed that next year the firm would be going for the Niche Firm of the Year gong. Was he unwittingly unveiling the firm's global strategy?
Over on the dancefloor most people appeared to be so intimidated by Robert Jay's celebrity that they left The Lawyer's Barrister of the Year dancing in splendid isolation.
And although Pinsent Masons had announced plans to open its first office in Germany just days before the awards, managing partner David Ryan was far more keen to talk about his love of Latin America. Ryan, who owns a holiday home in Cork, opted for the sunnier climes of Brazil on a recent trip and, although deterred by its soaring prices, instantly fell for its aspirational culture. He was quick to confirm resolutely that the firm has no plans to enter the Latin American market. Honest.
Rush to judgment
There was partying in the streets recently at Howard Kennedy after the firm's band, WhoAreKen'N'Edy, who despite having the worst name scooped top prize at legal market battle of the bands LawRocks.
It was a close-run thing, with the HK ensemble just pipping Sackers' Moral Hazzard, and a good thing it wasn't any closer as compere Mr Justice Coulson was in no mood for a late-night run-off.
"There aren't going to be any ties tonight," said Coulson. "I've got a full list tomorrow."
So much for judicial impartiality.
Keep karma and carry on
As most astute readers will know, the Dalai Lama was in town recently. Along with Prince Charles, a goodly portion of Matrix Chambers was lucky enough to
rub saffron shoulders with the great man/deity. In fact, all except for Cliff Holland, who was the one person left in the office when the rest decamped to the LSE.
"I am enlightened enough," said Holland, gazing into the middle distance.

That's right folks, this coming Saturday, lost among the 60,000 other folks there, will be three representatives from Troll in the Corner! PAX East is nearly here, and we're going to be there! Which means if you're there, we'll be there as well and since two of us live here, it's here in our backyard! There!
Myself, Tracy and Scott will all be present. Digitally armed with audio, video and picture devices, toting games around and gawking with the best of them. We already have interviews lined up with some pretty cool folks there and will all be posting our coverage on this site in the weeks to come. Plus I plan on walking away with some exciting new games to review.
Personally I'm planning on attending several talks on tabletop gaming, getting in on some Magic the Gathering (which I've been absent from since the late 90s) and perhaps putting together a few impromptu games myself.
I'd love to also schedule more time with vendors, publishers, creators and others involved in table top gaming – so anyone out there, feel free to hit me up! Interviews, reviews, podcasts, photo ops – you name it, we'll be ready for it.
If you're going and would like to say hello, you can reach Tracy and myself on Twitter. You can also reach me via our contact page. This goes for anyone – I'd love to meet as many gamers as possible, hang out, game, talk, eat and drink. Not necessarily in that order.

A number of courses started by Panjab University (PU) are yet to gain traction. Though they have been around for five years now, the number of students applying for these "innovative" courses has been going down. To make matters worse for colleges as well as aspirants, the varsity has been offering admission to these programmes through entrance tests.
Currently, three courses - MBA Commerce & Information Technology (MBACIT), Master of Entrepreneurship and Family Business (MEFB) and MCom (Business Innovation) are being run as innovative courses. MBACIT is offered by MTSM College for Women, Ludhiana, with 80 seats; MEFB by SD College, Sector 32, Chandigarh, with 40 seats and MCom (Business Innovation) by SCD Government College, Ludhiana, with an intake of 40 seats.
Blaming the university for the gradually decreasing number of admissions to these courses, PU senator Jagwant Singh said: "Last year the PU administration agreed in principle not to conduct entrance exams for innovative courses. Despite that, the university is continuing with common entrance tests."
This year 83 candidates have applied for the MBACIT course as compared to 82 last year. In the case of MEFB, there are only 35 candidates in the current year as against 45 last year. For MCom (Business Innovation), 166 have applied this year as against 298 last year.
The number of applicants has gone down in almost all courses with only 35 candidates applying for the 40 seats in the MEFB course.
Also, those who have appeared for the entrance examination will have to secure at least 20% marks to be eligible. "As the number of seats are more than the qualifying candidates in some cases, the colleges approach PU every year to allow admissions without any test and they are obliged without any conditions," Singh said, adding that this made a "mockery" of the entrance tests.
The interdisciplinary courses were started around five years ago with push from University Grants Commission. However, PU failed to give the requisite thrust to run the course and the number of applicants has steadily dwindled.
"There shouldn't be an entrance test and people should get to know about these courses," Singh added.
