Manuel Pellegrini has admitted he was a "mad dog" as a player and that the calm style that has guided Manchester City to the brink of the title was adopted only when he took up management.
City host West Ham United on Sunday knowing that a point guarantees a second Premier League crown in three years in Pellegrini's first season in charge. While his immediate predecessor, Roberto Mancini, was a volatile character the Chilean has been a serene influence in what has been a topsy-turvy championship race.
Yet the 60-year-old said that much had changed from his time as a defender at Universidad de Chile. "When I started this career maybe I had an absolutely different character," he said. "As a player, I had a different character than I have today. To prepare to be a manager you must change a lot of things and one of those things I was sure I had to change was my character."
Pellegrini was asked if he might have been a mad dog on the pitch. "Absolutely yes. I decided [to change]. There is another way of managing than as a player. You have to decide you are no longer a player and have a different [approach]."
Pellegrini shrugged off any notion of being nervous on Sunday. "It is very important for the manager to be calm, to try to repeat what we did the whole year. Preparing the game here is one game more. We must prepare the same way."
At differing times in the campaign Pellegrini has been without key players. Vincent Kompany, Sergio Agüero, David Silva and Yaya Touré have all been missing, with the quartet playing together for a total of 216 minutes, equivalent to less than two and a half games. Agüero, who is fit to face West Ham following a hamstring problem, has started only 19 matches, making three substitute appearances. Pellegrini said rival clubs could not have coped as well as City had they missed equivalent players.
"I don't want to compare other teams but I think maybe this team was without Agüero, he missed 14-15 games in the Premier League. Maybe some other teams – you take Suárez out of 15 games for Liverpool or Hazard from Chelsea or Cazorla from Arsenal [how would they cope?]."
In Wednesday evening's 4-0 rout of Aston Villa, the crowd became restless until City scored. Asked whether that could be a concern on Sunday if the match is goalless for a long period, Pellegrini said: "It's impossible for me to know what will happen in the future. I don't know what will happen in that game. One of the most important things we did against Aston Villa was not worry about not scoring. We were playing well, we were a balanced team, we didn't have any problem, [or] let Aston Villa have a chance to score.
"We created three or four clear chances but didn't score. That was most important – the personality, the character of the team. They knew we were going to win and continued in the same way until the end."

South Jordan • Perhaps the most important result of the season for the Bingham girls soccer team came in late August in the Miners' first region meet of the season.
After posting a 5-1 record in preseason play, Bingham's Libby Weber said the team's confidence was high. Perhaps a little too high.
The Miners were thumped 4-2 at American Fork. While it was disappointing to start Region 4 play with a defeat, the loss served as a wake-up call.
"It just fired us up," said Weber, a junior defender. "We came into that game thinking we were going to [win], thinking 'It's just American Fork.' But in reality, we were not mentally ready at all.
"I feel if we didn't lose that game, we wouldn't have played as well as we did after that."
The renewed focus paved the way for five consecutive victories, including four shutouts by freshman goalkeeper Maddie Loftis. Suddenly the Miners, who limped through a 2-13-2 season a year ago, are vying for a top postseason seed.
Bingham entered play this week one game ahead of Lone Peak with three games remaining.
With a similar roster to that of last season, Bingham's turnaround can be attributed to its new coach, former Miners standout Jenni Clough, and an abundance of confidence each victory has instilled throughout the season.
"When we won our first game toward the end of last season, we were so excited, like we had just won the state championship," Weber said. "This year, we have worked harder and we're ready to play the games."
A little defense along the way hasn't hurt, either. Loftis' immediate impact shows in the statistics Bingham has allowed just seven goals in region play nearly half as many as the next closest team.
"Our defense comes through when our offense comes through," Weber said. "Defense can't hold off everyone, but if our forwards are scoring, it's easier for us to do our job."
Junior midfielder Marley Olsen said Clough's presence also has been a big influence. Clough, a Bingham assistant a season ago, played soccer and basketball for the Miners before graduating in 2005. That youth and energy has provided a boost throughout the roster.
"Jenni's helped us a lot," Olsen said. "I think she's awesome. She's played the game recently and seen all the new tactics."
The Jordan-Alta rivalry will be heightened Thursday in girls volleyball when the two teams meet with first place in Region 3 at stake.
The Beetdiggers haven't lost in the month of September, and have lost just two games in their first four region matches. Alta's only loss was a five-game defeat against Brighton.

Stephens Co. Commission Passes FY 15 Budget
Stephens County Commissioners pass a Fiscal Year 2015 budget.
Commissioners voted 4-1 Tuesday to approve the budget that takes effect July 1.
That budget is built based on a 2.85 mill increase in the county's millage rate, taking that millage rate from 11.32 to 14.17 mills.
County Commissioner Stanley London voted against the budget.
London said he cannot support a budget with this high of a millage rate increase.
"I just do not feel like our citizens can be forced to come up with that," said London. "All of our small businesses and large businesses are going to have to compensate with raises in prices. There are people already on constraints. I just do not feel like it is the right time for a millage rate increase of this size, if any at all."
London pointed to the addition of four additional Sheriff's Office deputies in the budget as something he would have left out of the budget to reduce expenditures.
During discussions on the budget prior to the vote, County Commission Chairman Dean Scarborough proposed shifting two of those deputy positions to public works to help fill needs there.
However, Commissioner Dennis Bell proposed leaving all four deputies in and adding one more full-time position for public works.
"The deputies are very important to us in this community," said Bell. "Without them, it is scary. The times are not getting any better. The economy is down. There are going to be a lot of crimes against persons happening and we need our deputy sheriffs out here. We also need road department (workers)."
The majority of the commission approved Bell's proposal.
It was the only change made from the budget presented two weeks ago.
County officials said the money needed for that added public works position will come from money set aside in the budget to start re-building the county's undesignated fund balance.
Overall, Scarborough said this was a tough budget to put together.
"So many needs, so little money," said Scarborough. "Several of us had serious problems with the amount that we needed, but it was an amount we have come to with lots of discussion and lots of gnashing of teeth. We were able to add a worker today for public works, which I am excited about because I know how bad our roads need attention. We have had more cuts in that department than anywhere else. Another big issue was the Sheriff's deputies. We did institute all four of those. That was a big deal to several commissioners who wanted to see that was done."
During public comments on the budget, Currahee Club Managing Director Andrew Ward and Hill Street Baptist Church Pastor and Sheriff's Office Chaplain the Rev. Paul Garrison spoke in support of the additional deputies for the Sheriff's Office.
Meanwhile, former county commissioner Jonesy Haygood expressed concern about the size of the millage rate increase and encouraged commissioners to look closely at the budget in future years to avoid such a large increase in the future.
When subtracting the projected SPLOST VI collections from the budget in Fiscal Year 2015, the total expenditures in the proposed budget for next fiscal year are just over $16.03 million.

Quatuor Béla on the Early Metamorphosis of György Ligeti
Métamorphoses nocturnes—"Night Metamorphoses"—is a particularly appropriate title for the French quartet Quatuor Béla's latest recording of chamber music by the legendary Hungarian composer György Ligeti. It's the title of the composer's first string quartet, and it also highlights the kinetic restlessness and the early development of one of the 20th century's most influential compositional voices.
String Quartet No. 1 explores extremes of dynamics, range and timbre from wrenching sul ponticello scrapes to contrapuntal clouds of barely audible, scurrying harmonics. As the title "Night metamorposes" implies, it's also music of constant change. Despite Ligeti's limited access to music from outside Hungary's borders, there's a surprising wealth of references, including waltzes, gypsy music and jazz, as well as nods to Stravinsky and Berg. Quatuor Béla captures the youthful vigor of Ligeti (he was 31-32) and his torment (he'd spent time in a forced labor camp and both his brother and his parents had been shipped to concentration camps).
The Second String Quartet, from 1968, was composed over a decade after the first quartet and Ligeti's flight from Hungary. The music is somewhat more restrained and refined: the nervous pizzicato strings of the third movement seem to reflect Steve Reich's phase experiments from around the same period as well as Ligeti's own 1962 Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes. The ensemble is in astounding command of the music, retaining an extraordinary on-edge energy even during quiet moments (the dynamic the most defines the composition).
The album closes with the earliest composition represented on the disc—the Sonata for Solo Cello. Written from 1948-1953, the piece stands among Ligeti's most lyrical compositions and it has a student quality, particularly in the references to Bach as well as Bartók and Kodály. Cellist Luc Dedeuil's virtuosic delivery is energetic and playful, highlighting the early voice of a brilliant composer on the verge of becoming one of the century's most formidable figures.

Everyplace I call gives me a different response and I want to make sure I put the right ones in. Was told that you should not put Platinum plugs in any VW engine.
VW dealer here in Oakville, ON Canada - says brand NGK - style code PFR6Q but they want $28 Cdn each !
UAP Nappa says NGK regular ? at cost of $8.04 Cdn ea. (not bad)

Gilbert Castellanos establishes Young Lions Jazz Conservatory
"My plan is to go all year long, and it's going to be a little more intense."
Robert Bush 2 p.m., June 28
Happy Ron Hill's 1500th performance happens at Lestat's on Wednesday, November 23. It'll also be the native San Diegan's first full show with his "smooth jazz combo," the Smoothies. "I've been saying for years that my music was Sinatra-meets-South Park, despite the fact that the only thing I really have in common with Sinatra is my hat. This new band has a classy Rat Pack vibe, especially our theme song 'Moments Like This.' I wrote the song years ago, but it wasn't until the Smoothies that I found a band smooth enough to play it. I really ain't that smooth myself."
Though his local stage debut was back in 1998, Hill kicked it into high gear around 2004, averaging five performances per week, most at open-mic events. The worst thing about over a thousand trips to the stage as a walk-on citizen songsmith? "Hecklers in the crowd. I tell them, 'It's open-mic, not open-mouth.'"
All hail the Happy Man's 1500th. If someone somehow missed all those shows, expect rough voiced funny songs for adults. Happy sings his own songs, his own way, so be ready for a unique show.

Introduction by Dr. Leonard Horowitz
Consumer Health Champion and Author of 16 Books in Public Health and Natural Healing
Cancer—the "C-word" Has Struck Fear in Our Hearts Long Enough!
Now there is an answer to cancer that most people would love to know, but doctors don't often learn themselves or prescribe.
What you are about to learn may seem hard to believe, or too good to be true. But the following information is supported by photographic evidence and many personal testimonies. This is factual, emotionally uplifting, and in many cases life-saving.
Hello. My name is Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz. I am a public health professional, internationally known health science investigator, and the author of more than sixteen books, including the national bestseller, Healing Celebrations: Miraculous Recoveries Through Ancient Scripture, Natural Medicine and Modern Science. You can learn more about my credentials, including my numerous scientific peer reviewed publications, at www.drlenhorowitz.com.
The following information is not about me, however. It is about cancer . . . And a most amazing way of overcoming this frightening illness that is never featured in headline news or major medical journals. It will never be as long as the cancer industry is profiting from people's suffering.
This website is dedicated to informing you about C-CURE™—a revolutionary new herbal formula based on a proven remedy that has already helped thousands of people beat skin cancers. Experimentally, this product is likely to help people eliminate an array of other cancers as well. This product, along with the recommendations in the aforementioned book, provides an approach to naturally purging cancerous cells and tumors from your body.
Let me first explain why this product is not recommended by most oncologists or mainstream medical doctors.
As a health professional volunteer, and Managing Member of "The C-CURE™ Club," I have been asked by the product's development and marketing staff to present this information about C-CURE™—a product that literally prompted my immune system to reject a cancer (i.e., basal cell carcinoma) that had been growing steadily on my lower back for more than a year. My C-CURE™ story joins many others, photographically documented, on this website.
Introduction to the Medical Mafia
Traditional "cancer therapy," and the entire "War on Cancer," has been an abysmal failure. Despite glowing reports from special interest groups representing the cancer industry, the fact is, more people are predicted to get cancer today, and die of cancer, than ever before. Much of this colossal failure to effectively treat and prevent cancer can be directly attributed to the criminal activities of leading cancer industrialists. Individuals and organizations who are literally making vast fortunes from humanity's suffering, and getting away with murder.
Despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of people throughout North America are currently dying of cancer, it is generally recognized that "more people are living off the cancer industry than dying from it."
There have been many excellent books written about the "politics of cancer," the economics of this illness, and the profiteering that is ongoing in the cancer industry.(1-6)
As a Harvard graduate in public health, an independent investigator, and internationally known authority in AIDS, I researched the politics of emerging diseases, including cancer, for more than a twenty years. I am also someone who lost a parent and a host of friends and relatives to medical mismanagement of various cancers. I have published a number of scientific reports and books detailing my misgivings regarding certain cancer industrialists. (My non-profit publisher's website is www.tetrahedron.org.) I am respected internationally for writing the national bestseller Emerging, Viruses: AIDS & Ebola—Nature, Accident or Intentional? (Tetrahedron, LLC; 1-888-508-4787) and before 9-11, 2001, Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare. This prophetically-titled book was released three months before September 11, 2001. In these books I scrutinized the "slash, burn and poison" approach to traditional "cancer therapy." I exposed the Rockefeller-family-directed cancer industry, and their surprising links to the organizations and institutions that profit most from producing cancer epidemics as well as promoting terrorism and bioterrorism in the world today. An excellent free resource for educating you on this subject is my latest documentary film entitled, In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood & Bioterrorism. This is freely viewed at www.inlieswetrust.com. (5,6)
Obviously, this is not the sort of thing that makes it into mainstream news. One reason for this censorship is that drug companies buy the majority of advertisements on network television and even the print media. If you don't believe this, ask yourself, "Would the media's mainstream really want to 'bite the hand' that feeds them?"
When it comes to the current threat of cancer, and the coercive fear-based persuasion used to direct patients (i.e., victims) into the "slash, burn and poison" treatments promoted by medical–pharmaceutical industrialists, I call the generally deadly outcome of this white-collar crime genocide.
Years ago, I thought I had invented a word for this widespread public abuse. I later learned my esteemed predecessor, Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, had first published the term "IATROGENOCIDE." This word best describes the deadly criminal fraud and mass murder institutionalized as the "medical standard of care." The word combines two others—iatrogenic and genocide. "Iatrogenic" relates to a broad array of "physician-induced" illnesses. Today, iatrogenesis, including drug side effects, is well known to be among the leading causes of death in the United States. More than 1 million people die annually in America alone from prescription drugs, including vaccinations.(7)
The word "genocide" is defined in Webster's Dictionary as "the mass killing of people for economics [profit], politics and/or ideology." It is shocking to realize that the leading cancer industrialists, such as the Rockefeller family and their affiliated foundations, organizations, institutions, along with pharmaceutical firms, are also the world's leading proponents of reducing world populations (i.e., population control). This includes their published plan to reduce half of America's population according to esteemed political periodicals.(6, 8) Is it, therefore, simple synchronicity that following decades of lower or no malignancy rates, cancer is now expected to strike one-out-of-every-two people in their lifetimes?
The following chart from the National Cancer Institute, "the Lion's Den of Cancer Corruption," shows that beginning in 1973, following almost two decades of transmitting monkey cancer viruses to humans in every dose of polio vaccine, skyrocketing soft tissue cancer epidemics began and continue to this day. This, in fact, was officially predicted by the leading scientist at the Bureau of Biologics, forerunner to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in 1962. As a result of her urging safer vaccines, Bernice Eddy, Ph.D., was demoted, defunded, and largely ostracized from the medical scientific community.(5, 13)
I believe these skyrocketing rates soft tissue cancers are attributable largely to cancer virus contaminated vaccinations about which Dr. Eddy warned the United States Congress in 1974. Pandemic cancer is not simply a response to modern living. Like the poisonous approach to "cancer therapy" pioneered, promoted, and currently directed by leading vaccine makers, who are also chief cancer and population control industrialists, this provides a classic example of "iatrogenocide" in practice.
This insidious condition has grown so rampant that even the editors of a leading scientific journal, The Lancet, cautioned the public and physicians against drug company lies. The pharmaceutical industry, they argued, had undermined everything that might be good about modern medicine. Regarding drug-company bribes and manipulated "scientific" outcomes, the editors asked, "Just how tainted has medicine become?" They answered, "Heavily and damagingly so . . ." to the extent it is "bringing the whole of medicine into disrepute."(9)
The reputability of the FDA has, likewise, been substantially undermined by pharmaceutical interests and cancer industrialists since its inception. As a result, this "gestapo" for the "medical mafia" not only "fast-tracks" poorly tested, overly expensive, and highly risky drugs, but it suppresses age-old, proven, low risk, inexpensive and highly effective alternatives, preventives, and even cancer cures.(10, 11)
Regarding the "Disease Deities on Capitol Hill," and the emergence of dramatically rising rates of autism in our children, I had the opportunity to briefly testify before the U.S. Congress, Government Reforms Committee, chaired by Rep. Dan Burton of Indiana (Read Dr. Horowitz's testimony and submission to congress on April 13, 2002 by clicking here). Two months later, on June 20, 2002 Congressman Burton lambasted the FDA and the CDC for condoning the mercury ingredient (i.e., thimerosal) placed in vaccines that health officials knew as early as the 1920s would cause devastating brain damage and nervous system irregularities in children and adults.(12)
For these reasons, and many, many more, the makers and distributors of C-CURE™, insist on warning you . . .
WARNING: Do not read further, or even consider buying or using C-CURE™, if you give any credence to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), that will not allow us to freely inform you about the potentially miraculous benefits that may result from using this product as directed.
It is sufficient to conclude here that the world's greatest growing cancer pandemics, given the scientifically published links between cancer virus contaminated vaccines and blood supplies,(13) represents the most evil corporate imposition medicine has ever seen. In essence, aside from its economic benefits and population culling capabilities, the widely heralded "War on Cancer" is a deadly ruse.(7,8)
Dr. Horowitz holds doctorates in naturopathic medicine, dental medicine, and missionary medicine. Besides directing a multi-disciplinary health center near Boston for more than a decade, he received his master's degree in public health from Harvard University, and taught on the faculties of Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston and Leslie College in Cambridge, Mass. He is currently on the faculty of the Pan American Natural Healing Institute and on the Board of Directors of the World Organization of Natural Medicine Practitioners.

A Birthday Coincidence
The holocaust angle? Just one more personal 'coincidence.'
SERENDICITY. Yesterday was my dad's birthday. He'd be 88 if he hadn't died more than ten years ago. It was also a day when Mrs. IP had jury duty and was staying home till court convened, so I dallied longer in the morning before getting to work. Over one cup of coffee too many, I stumbled on a NatGeo documentary about a P-47 that went down in an Austrian lake on the last day of the war in Europe. The P-47 was my dad's plane, 88 missions worth. An international team was determined to raise it from the lake bottom and restore it. I was hooked. The lake waters were ice cold and short on oxygen, which meant that the wreck was probably well preserved. As proved to be the case. The plexiglass cowling was intact, the cockpit dials were remarkably legible, and even the lacquered aluminum skin of the fuselage retained all its old stencilled numbers, lettering, and American star insignia. It came up upside down but in far better condition that it looks to the naked eye
The ailerons still worked freely.
Closeups showed the instruments muddy but with unbroken lenses.
The .50 caliber machine guns were loaded;
the shells gleamed again after a light hosing.
The experts proclaimed that this plane will fly again.
I was struck by the fact that this is not my first P-47 coincidence. I just happened to be living in Dayton, Ohio, when Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (in Dayton) dedicated a memorial to the Twelfth Air Force my dad served in. He flew out (commercial) for the ceremony and that day I had my first look at a P-47 in the Wright-Patt museum, with him there. He hadn't laid eyes on one since 1946 or thereabouts. I also got to shake hands with a few of his surviving fellow pilots. Seeing the old men and the plane on which their lives depended was a strange experience. It's at such a long remove from actual events, so evidently mothballed and still, that it seems simultaneously unreal and hyper-real, as if the vivid past really can bump the prosaic present into a roaring, screaming, rat-a-tat hell if you close your eyes for just a moment. It's awkward to shake their hands. There's nothing you can say. They know something you'll never know and even trying to put that into words would be sacrilege. You wind up wishing you weren't young and your clothes didn't fit.
More coincidence. A few years later I was serving as a consultant to Whirlpool Corporation, which had an air-conditioner manufacturing plant in Evansville, Indiana. I went there to conduct training and help coordinate labor management communications. That's when I learned that the huge brick facility with its serpentine connecting bays had been built in the first place to assemble P-47 fighter planes. The plant was dark and logistically difficult in terms of modern manufacturing requirements, filled with U-turns and cul de sacs that only made sense when you imagined their original purpose. How odd that this Jersey motorhead would somehow get to see the plant (and descendants of the people) that built the plane that kept his father alive so that I could be sired after the war. No, it's not all about me. It's about the chain of events, including U-turns and cul de sacs, that occur by apparent happenstance to give you a fuller picture of the continuum of which you are only the wagging tail. I was supposed to be seeing Just-in-Time appliance manufacturing. Mostly, all I could see was P-47s creeping though darkness to the skies of Europe.
And then one more. My dad was from southern New Jersey and he took his flight training at Thunderbird in Arizona, but it's also perversely the case that one of the premier P-47 training bases during WWII was in Millville, NJ, less than 20 miles from where he, and I, were born and grew up. Millville has never forgotten this important moment of its history, which is why the annual Millville Air Show is one of the biggest and best attended in the nation. Which I'd never attended until my Navy-loving wife (I could tell you why but then I'd have to kill you) made us go see it back in 2007. Where I saw my first P-47 outside of a museum, prepped and ready to go on the flightline
And then, by God, flying.
My dad was dead by then. but not that day, not for me.
Life is a curious thing. I never consciously sought out any of these encounters with the past. He tried more and more over the years to make his life story about something other than the war, which he had every right to do. He had many accomplishments of his own, and he suffered from the survivor's guilt we've all seen in veterans who can't be convinced that the best and bravest didn't die in their place. But my own life keeps bringing me back to this aspect of his experience, which I know, as a son knows his father, both hurt him grievously and annealed him to the ordinary hurts of so-called real life. He may have wanted to turn his back on so much fear and pain and testing ordeals, but I can't. I feel the phantom every time I mount a motorcycle. If I screw up or get unlucky, I could die today. But nobody's shooting at me when I ride. And I'm not shooting at them. A way to stay humble as the wagging tail of the continuum.
Almost done. But one final 'coincidence' in yesterday's accidental television rendezvous. The pilot whose plane went down in the Austrian lake survived. He appeared in the show and recollected his rescue. Ditching a P-47 in the water is an incredibly tricky thing. The huge engine almost immediately plunges from the surface in a water dive. The waters that day were brutally cold. He sank ten feet or so three times in heavy pilot gear and fought his way back to the surface but didn't think he'd survive a fourth dunking. But Austrian civilians saw him in the water, and two boats raced to his aid. In fact, two women outdistanced a surviving male (a teenager at the time) who was rowing toward the downed pilot and plucked him from the water.
Which was eerily reminiscent of my dad's closest call in the war. He strafed a German ship in Naples harbor, got away with it, and decided to attempt a second pass. They blew him out of the sky and he had to ditch in the water. Same crisis. P-47 diving nose first toward the bottom and an over-clothed pilot struggling to stay afloat with one leg full of shrapnel. He got rescued by a Navy PT boat, which braved all kinds of enemy fire to salvage my dad from what he called "the stupidest thing I've ever done." He never regarded the Purple Heart he received as anything but a dunce cap.
I can see his point. That's how he was. Surprised and mortified when he wasn't entirely sensible. But it's not sensible to volunteer for what you've coldly determined is the most dangerous role in the war, is it? That part he never successfully explained away.
Happy birthday, Dad.

After spending a period working on musical concepts in 1986, the band returned to live gigging, adding various synthesizers to their sound. 1987's live The Ritual Continues brought the band more recognition, but it was 1989's Reflections From the Firepool that brought them into the spotlight. The record found Djam Karet embracing studio technology and utilizing overdubs for the first time in their career, while exploring both progressive and ambient music. Released on CD, the eclectic record garnered several good reviews, including being named the number two Independent Album of the Year by Rolling Stone. The all-instrumental Burning the Hard City (1991) was a darker album, at times both psychedelic, heavy, and jazzy. It was released at the same time as Suspension & Displacement, which was an experimental all-ambient record. 1994's haunting Collaborator found Ellett and Osborne completing musical sketches sent to them by various electronic musicians. The band returned to their progressive rock instrumental roots with 1997's The Devouring. The following tour was captured on Live at Orion (1999). 1999 also saw the release of the limited edition Still No Commercial Potential, a completely improvised record in the manner of their first release. Djam Karet showed a remarkable amount of activity at the beginning of the next decade, releasing two new progressive rock albums in 2001: New Dark Age and the more accessible and ethnically influenced Ascension. The group has also scored music for television programs on ESPN and ABC, as well as various infomercials and radio commercials. ~ Geoff Orens

All high-definition, all the time. That's the way it sometimes feels looking through the new products from East Asia's consumer electronics powerhouses. The rush to market with high-definition TVs has been going on for some time and now it's the turn of video cameras (highlighted last month), games consoles (the PlayStation 3 and upcoming Xbox 360 HD DVD drive) and other gadgets.
This month a Blu-ray Disc drive and home photo viewer both do the HD tango, and a upgraded version of Sony's LocationFree TV base station serves to remind that there are still some obstacles to HD ubiquity. While sending a 20M bps (bits per second) digital TV stream through the air might be easy, sending the same thing across an Internet connection remains much more difficult. In fact, for the vast majority of Internet users, it's impossible. That's why even with an upgrade, LocationFree still won't transmit HD images across the Internet.
Sony LocationFree Base Station
Sony Corp. is upgrading its LocationFree platform with more efficient video compression and a receiver add-on for televisions. The new base station, the LF-PK20 (called the LF-B20 in the U.S.) streams using the MPEG4 AVC compression system. The pay-off for users is better pictures at lower bit-rates because its more efficient than the MPEG2 and MPEG4 systems used in the current devices. Sony is also adding a new receiver device, the LF-BOX1. Named the "LocationFree TV Box," the device connects directly to a television to allow for viewing of streamed video on a TV. The LF-PK20 will go on sale in Japan on Oct. 20 and will cost around ¥33,000 (US$282) and the LF-BOX1 will be available from Oct. 27 for around ¥23,000. Details of overseas sales were not announced.
Web: http://products.sel.sony.com/locationfreetv/ Samsung 8GB Music Player Cell Phone
As the world's biggest maker of flash memory chips and one of the biggest cell phone manufacturers it shouldn't be a surprise that Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. is putting the two together. Its SCH-B570 cell phone packs 8G bytes of built-in memory -- that's double the amount of memory in Apple Computer Inc.'s hit-iPod nano and enough room for about 1,600 MP3 music files or about 16 movies. Did we mention there's also a receiver for South Korea's mobile satellite broadcasting service (S-DMB) and a 2-megapixel camera. The phone goes on sale in South Korea soon. It won't be available overseas.
Web: http://www.sec.co.kr (Korean) LG Blu-ray Disc Drive
LG Electronics Inc. is adding its name to a long list of companies producing Blu-ray Disc writer drives for PCs. The drive supports data recording at up to 4X speed, which LG says is a first. The drive is now on sale in South Korea and will be available in Europe in September. Like other Blu-ray Disc drives from competitors, the LG model doesn't come cheap: it will cost 900,000 won (US$945). LG will also sell a PC featuring the drive. The machine is powered by a dual core Pentium D945 processor running at 3.4GHz, has 320G bytes of hard-disk space and 1G byte of memory and will cost 3.5 million won.
Web: http://www.lge.com Sony Big-screen Digital Camera
Sony Corp.'s latest digital still camera is a sight for poor eyes. The DSC-N2 camera has a 3-inch touch-screen monitor that displays the images and can be used for all sorts of picture editing functions -- you can even handwrite a message across a picture. There's a 10-megapixel image sensor, which is pretty impressive for a camera of this size, sensitivity to ISO1600, and it comes with image stabilization to help guard against blurriness. It will hit Japan on Oct. 13 and retail for around ¥50,000 (US$427). Look for it in the U.S. from October for US$450 and in other countries soon.
Web: http://www.sonystyle.com/N2 Panasonic D-snap and D-dock
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. (Panasonic) is taking its MP3 players a step further with companion home stereo systems into which the portable players can dock. The D-snap players are SD (Secure Digital) card-based and have no internal storage while the micro-stereo systems come with either an 80G-byte or 160G-byte hard-disk drive. In typical use, Panasonic envisages the user's song library will be stored on the hard disk and selected songs transferred to the portable player as desired through a dock atop the systems. Both players and home systems are now on sale in Japan and will reach overseas markets at a date yet to be announced. The players cost ¥16,000 or ¥20,000 (US$137 or $171) depending on version. The stereo systems are ¥80,000 for the higher capacity model and ¥65,000 for the lower capacity model.
Web: http://www.panasonic.jp (Japanese) Sony HDD Picture Storage and Viewer
If transferring pictures from your digital camera to your PC sounds like too much work, then Sony Corp.'s HDPS-L1 might be just the ticket. The device is basically a hard-disk drive in a case with a memory card slot. Slide in a card from your camera and you can quickly transfer the images to the device's 80G byte hard-disk drive for storage and to free up the card for more pictures. The box can also connect to a television so the pictures can be viewed on screen. High-definition output is also possible. It goes on sale in Japan on Oct. 27 and will cost around ¥35,000 (US$299). It's on sale now in the U.S. for US$300.
Web: http://www.sony.com Pantech DMB Phone
Cell phones that pick up TV and radio direct from satellite are becoming something of an everyday item in South Korea now but we still can't get enough of them. One of the latest is Pantech Co. Ltd.'s IM-U140, which has a 2.6-inch widescreen display that pops up from the handset when a button on the phone is pushed. The QVGA resolution screen is the largest on any satellite DMB (digital multimedia broadcasting) phone, according to Pantech. Other features include a 3-megapixel camera, stereo speakers and a touch-screen. The handset will soon go on sale in South Korea and won't be available overseas.
Web: http://www.pantech.com R&D Corner: Triple-layer optical disc
Toshiba Corp. and Memory-Tech Corp. have developed a three-layer optical disc that can be read by both DVD and HD DVD players. The disc, which could be on the market early next year, will make it possible for movie companies to package both a standard definition and high-definition version of the same movie on a single disc. That would mean consumers wouldn't have to repurchase the same movies when or if they make the jump from DVD to HD DVD. Each layer is capable of storing about two hours of standard and four hours of high-definition content, the latter assuming the MPEG4 AVC compression is used. That means about four hours of SD and HD content can be stored if two layers are used for DVD and one layer for HD DVD.

Emotional Waitress Gets Random $200 Tip Thanks To Give Back Films [VIDEO]
This hard working waitress from "Who Know Where,USA" is supposedly a mother of two. Well, these guys went into her restaurant with the distinct purpose of gratiously tipping someone $200 to get their reaction and put it on YouTube. So cool!
I guess they have a company called GiveBackFilms. They have 70,000 subscribers, and it looks like they put up a video every week. They've even given money to homeless people. Fantastic idea. This definitely doesn't look like a setup. It's for real. You'll love it–

That's just so great, huh? We witnessed something like that not long ago when an up and coming country band called "The Farm" came here to promote a record they released called "Be Grateful". Here's what THEY did when they were here.
Maybe we should all think about doing some more random acts of kindness of our own. It certainly got me thinking. I think I'll tip Dorrie for the nice dessert she gave me tonite (but not $200!!

Still Building a Base
By Paul Cherney
Much of what occurred on Tuesday was technical in nature.
The markets are attempting to establish a base. The studies I have posted here on price action in the S&P 500 after VIX (market volatility index) prints above 50 remain valid. Usually (in the first 22 trade days after a signal), the S&P 500 sees a little more to the upside than we have seen up until now. The average gain for the S&P 500 is 10.9% and the average length of time that it rises after VIX 50 readings is 16 trade days. The 16th trade day from Wednesday, July 24, would be August 15, a 10.9% gain from Wednesday's (07/24/02) would equate to 935 in the S&P 500.
Volatility should continue to plague intraday action.
Immediate S&P 500 resistance is 853-875.28.
The S&P 500 has substantial resistance 884-910 with a focus 885-896.
Immediate intraday support for the S&P 500 is 856-850.24 with a focus 854.37-852.76.
If the S&P 500 prints below 848, odds would increase for return to print in the 840-834 area.
The Nasdaq has immediate resistance 1287-1354 with a focus of thick resistance 1287-1300.
Immediate intraday support for the Nasdaq is a thin shelf 1261-1252, than another shelf 1247.92-1243.60, but the more substantial (and important) intraday support is 1238-1224.80 with a focus 1235.40-1232.92. If the Nasdaq prints below 1232 for more than 4 minutes intraday without attracting buyers, then downside risk opens for a test of 1215-1205.
Cherney is chief market analyst for Standard & Poor's

Clinical Laboratory Technology Associate Degree
Course Descriptions
Phlebotomy Technician Technical Certificate
Mission Statement
The Clinical Laboratory Technology program is accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS):
5600 N. River Road
Suite 720
Rosemont, IL 60018
Phone: 773-714-8880
Website: www.naacls.org
Program Outcomes
Clinical Forms
The clinical (medical) laboratory is a rarely seen but extremely important member of the healthcare team. Phlebotomist and technicians collect blood and other samples from the patient for analysis. Once the samples are obtained, they are analyzed by the Clinical (Medical) Laboratory Technicians and Scientists using basic science methods as well as sophisticated, computer controlled equipment. The patient's healthcare provider will use these results to help determine the cause of the patient's illness and monitor the course of treatment. As much as 70-80% of all critical healthcare treatment decisions are based on these laboratory results.
Some of the areas that are included in the clinical laboratory and how they influence a patient's treatment are:
Hematology-study of blood cells in order to diagnose and treat infections, anemias and leukemias.
Chemistry-measurement of glucose, cholesterol, potassium, medication levels, cancer tumor markers,
thyroid and liver function to name a few.
Microbiology-identification of bacteria and other microorganisms, and provide antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
Blood Bank-collection, storage, and pre-transfusion testing of blood and plasma components
for transfusion to patients.
Most patients may never see or talk with a member of the clinical laboratory team, except possibly a phlebotomist. But, their healthcare provider relies on the results they produce to provide quality healthcare.

ALGIERS, (Xinhua): As many as 11 people were killed and 28 others injured in a deadly traffic accident on Sunday in province of Ouargla, 800 km southeast of Algiers, a statement of the Firefighting Department revealed.
The accident occurred Sunday on the national road No. 56 linking the localities of Ouargla and Touggourt as a truck and a bus collided, the source specified.
An investigation was launched by the National Gendarme to determine the circumstances of this tragic accident.
Official figures show that road accident killed 3,737 people and injured 48,875 others in 2012.
A driving license demerit point system is still not in force in Algeria though it was approved by the transport ministry in 2012.
This new driving license is seen as an efficient step to curb the alarming increase of deadly car accidents in the north African nation.

Take the 101 Northbound for about 3 hours out of town. This turns into Highway 1 when you reach the ocean. When you reach Highway 46 it leads to Cambria and Hearst Castle. Along Highway 46 there are about 5-6 great wineries where you can sample some really good stuff. (If you had gone on the 46 east, there are more wineries but not the best IMO) Stay on the 46 west until you reach Cambria. This is a small town surrounded by pine trees and right next to the beach, which is covered in black sand and gigantic pieces of driftwood. Some pieces are the whole damn tree! I just spent a few days up there. The weather was perfect. If your eye catches it, there is a Firestone micro brewery right before you get to Highway 46 on your right hand side. Good stuff. Make sure to get the "sampler", which consists of 4 different brews they make. About $5/set. When you turn in your "paddle", you get a free pint glass to take home. Make sure to bring a fine woman with you.
When in Cambria, stop by Caren's Corner for some awesome ice cream.

So, do we think the intention of the color-coordinated clips is to wear them in public? I think they would still look funny, no matter what color!
Maybe these are an answer to the countless times we've gone to dinner, work, shopping, etc with our clips still in. At least they won't be quite as obvious in colors.
i do that all the time! i totally forget i have them in. i just ordered some!
*super excited!*
i just got mine in the mail today, and they are in my hair as it's airdrying right now.
they are hard plastic, and as others have said, shorter than a duckbill clip but longer than the two-pronged silver ones from sallys that i normally use. they are the same shape as a duckbill clip but don't curve at all.
they don't have any teeth or anything that would catch in the hair, and they are pretty strong. they seem to stand up fairly well.
i will know better how they have worked once my hair is dry, so i'll update this message then.
can you take a pic while they're in your hair and post?
I'm waiting for more reviews before ordering yet another hair product. I bend my metal clips to keep them from flopping over, so I need to know these plastic ones will stay up.
They'll stay up. If I try to put the metal ones in my hair when wet, they slide right out (never tried bending them) because my hair is thin and even more so when wet. Before I got the Deva clips, I was weighing one side of my hair down with a Pampered Chef little package clip, one that snaps into place . These stay in and up pretty darn good and I've put the Pampered Chef clip back into the kitchen .

I've grown to love Becky Grainger, all-new Duchess of Weatherfield, stood behind the Roy's Rolls counter, chewing gum clacking, gold hoops swaying, shiny Reebok hoodie on over her tabard, nipping off for a Regal red before the lunch rush. In her unmithered state, Becky is sparrow-like and dainty, but the majority of the time resembles a fractious Komodo dragon prowling the shores waiting for yummy divers to wash up. Nobody bullies Becky Grainger, not the local builders, not posho management types from Underworld, not Audrey Roberts with her withering looks at Becky's picking her ears by the egg mayo mix.
Customers are welcome to give feedback on Becky's service although a return punch in the windpipe might offend. When we first met Becky she was an urchin turned homeless ex-con crouched in a ball on the curb begging for spare shrapnel, so it's safe to say that a run-in with Norris over the freshness of the ham and cheese bloomer doesn't ruffle her feathers much.
I wish someone would love Becky. She thrives when trust and affection is thrust upon her. Becky's platonic relationship with boss and father-figure Roy Cropper has been beautiful to watch unfold. Hapless, kind Roy lives wholly by society's forgotten rules on dignity, honour and conduct. He's a bygone man, which renders him virtually a loner in a bewildering world. On the other hand Becky has run wild for the past 20 years saying and doing whatever and made scarce friends because of it. Joined together, the pair make one able body equipped to take on the world.
My heart soars when someone tries to take advantage of Roy's good nature and Becky launches herself from the frying pans like a TK Maxx-clad X-Man landing among the plastic gingham tablecloths with a loud "WhatgoingonereRoy? Youneedan'and?" I suppose the point Corrie writers are making in a slow-burn, over 36 months way, is that sometimes you actually do need to hug-a-hoodie. Yes, even the hoodie that has been fired on numerous occasions for thieving from your till. Roy has persevered with Becky and shown great empathy and love. It was only when Becky believed that Roy genuinely did "expect better from her behaviour" that she began towing the line. I will not rest until she's landlady of the Rovers, it seems her rightful place.
Yet as Becky blossoms, more teenage hoodlums take her place. Well, attempt to at least. Corrie was recently taken over by a trio of hoodies set to wreak havoc across the cobbles by the power of "kicking a bottle about" and standing menacingly outside The Kabin making churlish comments about Rita's orange bouffant and Fiz's purple, green and yellow bruise-coloured outfits that she wears in a bid to stop Kirk still harbouring special men's relaxing time-type thoughts for her.
Real hoodies and their "hold on the community" is a difficult idea to capture in soap. It's a major real life issue, apparently, so writers are condemned to make squeaky clean stage-school kids exude nine dark shades of evil by pulling on a tracksuit and shoplifting a Twix. We didn't know where the Corrie hoodies had come from or where they lived or what they wanted. As three thugs in search of a plot they ruffled the People's Friends and bags of Revels in the newsagents before running off grunting. It was all a bit rubbish really.
The problem with creating genuine "asbo youth" plots in soap is that they really have to be subtle and slow burning over at least seven years. That's what really grinds people and communities down. Ever present, minor irritation. Not big crash, bang and whallops. That's why Peep Show does Mark Corrigan's pain over the local idiot kids so well. "Clean shirt!" they yell at Mark as he walks home from work at the beginning of series one, "Why is your shirt so cleaaaaan? Are you a paedophile?". It's not a life or death situation, but over 627 days, really bloody annoying. As series five of Peep Show kicked off, Mark arrived home to find his cherub-faced tormentor, all grown up and less vocal, only inside his house robbing his DVD player. It was a clever picture of community issues, far cleverer than anything 'Enders or Corrie have managed.
*Over in EastEnders, Chelsea Fox has developed a cocaine "problem". Actually, it's difficult to term this a drug problem as frankly Chelsea's only dilemma appears to be that the Square's elders have found out she's off her head and have taken to slapping her, shouting at her and locking her in rooms as a punishment. At one point they even fetched her long-lost father, a pastor, to come and let the power of the gospel overcome her and put Chelsea off drugs (what with it doing such a sterling job for Whitney Houston). This only made things worse so her mum Denise had to slap her some more.
*Meanwhile in Hollyoaks, heroin is the drug du jour, with shampoo-fearing Fletch jamming needles in his arm every four hours clad in a hateful Pete Doherty waistcoat while the make-up department makes up another vat of green slap to tinge him with and fake sweat to bathe his jowls with.
To be honest, it's no wonder people stay on drugs forever, when you see how hard cold turkey is in soapworld. The Ashworth family have had him locked in a room pooing and screeching for days. Like a less feelgood version of the The Exorcist. "The doctors say he might be sweating and shaking and having hallucinations for days!" they whisper gravely. Yes, that's exactly the same as flu. Give him a Kleenex and some Lucozade and he can be back at school on Tuesday. Kids today, don't know they're bloody born.

Guardian journalist, Liam Burns, believes that the Government's plans to focus on fee waivers over bursaries for poorer students is the latest in a series of blunders regarding higher education policies, simply because "fee waivers don't work."
Liam addresses the fact that, despite the Government's assurances that fees above £6,000 would only occur in "exceptional circumstances", it is now estimated that the average fee for universities is less than £8,000. Liam believes this reported reduced figure, considering that most universities have opted to charge the full £9,000, is the result of discounted fees for poorer students, rather than on bursaries that would reach students directly.
He claims that fee waivers do not actually reduce the amount of money that students pay back and believes this money should have been invested and best spent on teaching resources, outreach programmes and crucially, bursaries.
The solution, he believes, should be underpinned by four key principles:
- Replacing the National Scholarship Programme with one that is based on student needs rather than on a first-come first-served lottery.
- Ensure that students know what support they will receive before they apply.
- Entrusting the student with the responsibility of deciding how to spend the support they receive rather than pushing institutions towards fee waivers.
- Finally, if fee waivers are to be used, make them total remissions which would genuinely allay students' access concerns.

BMW Clarifies ActiveE Electric Vehicle Fleet Size - Sort of, but Not Really
Published reports create inaccurate impression of size of upcoming BMW ActiveE field trial fleet
Recent published reports have incorrectly stated that the size of the fleet of BMW ActiveEs that will be deployed during the BMW Group's second-phase field trial in the US will be limited to 200 vehicles. While the exact size of the fleet has yet to be confirmed, it will be at least as large as the MINI E fleet which is currently in operation. There are 450 MINI Es on the road in the US right now. They are being driven by a dedicated group of individuals and select fleet users.
"I would hate for anyone to get the impression that we are backing away from our commitment to EV development or the Megacity Vehicle project. Let me reassure you that nothing could be further from the truth," said Rich Steinberg, Manager Electric Vehicle Operations and Strategy. "With one of the largest fleet of electric vehicles in operation today, we are learning a great deal. Those lessons have already been applied in our development work. One example is the liquid heating and cooling capability for the batteries in the upcoming BMW ActiveE. This will help to optimize operating range in conditions of extreme hot and cold climates. Others include the four-seat capacity of the BMW ActiveE and it seven cubic-feet of trunk space. More than anything we have been impressed with the dedication and enthusiasm that MINI E drivers have brought to this project."
In preparation for the upcoming BMW ActiveE field trial, which will begin in 2011, the BMW Group announced at the North American International Auto Show in January that it will offer one-year lease extensions to current MINI E lessees.
The MINI E will be prominently featured at the New York International Auto Show from April 2 11.

Stephens Co. School System To Pursue Charter System Status
The Stephens County School System will pursue charter system status.
Tuesday, the Stephens County Board of Education voted unanimously to approve and sign a letter of intent to send to the state Department of Education declaring that the school system would seek to pursue charter system status.
According to Stephens County School Superintendent Sherrie Whiten, state law said that by June 30, 2015, school systems have to choose an operating system moving forward.
There are a number of different options to choose from, including maintaining the status quo.
However, supporters said that a charter system will provide much more flexibility for a school system as opposed to other choices that would include significantly less flexibility and more state oversight.
Multiple Stephens County Board of Education members, including Sandra Childs, said they like the flexibility that a charter system seems to provide.
"The thing that I like about it best is it is the one thing that we can choose that we can have great input into what our school system does for our kids and who better to know what the kids in Stephens County need than Stephens County," said Childs.
School officials point out that a charter system is different from charter schools.
Stephens County School Superintendent Sherrie Whiten says that in a charter system, a local Board of Education reaches a contract with the state's Department of Education about the operation of the school system.
"What we are talking about is still talking about our public school system," said Whiten. "We are not talking about a private charter or anything like that. Basically, what we are talking about here is a contract. Our contract for our school system will be with the state Department of Education. In that contract, we are going to spell out what do we want to do differently here in Stephens County for our students in exchange for not having to worry about a lot of those state rules. At the same time though, the state, as part of that contract, will require us to have certain goals and we have to meet those student achievement goals. That is the accountability part."
A charter system still has a superintendent, Board of Education, principals, and so forth. However, one additional thing is a school-level governance team that is put in place at each school. That team can consist of parents, teachers, community leaders, and students in some cases, and looks at things at a school level.
Whiten said that such increased community involvement can be a good thing.
"We want more folks to know what goes on in our schools," said Whiten. "We want more people to know what are the things that we are going to try to do differently for our kids. What are those goals that we have set that we have to meet for our kids in that contract with the state."
At this point, Whiten said the next step is to begin working on the charter system contract and plan that will go to the state, which she added can be a lengthy process.
Whiten said that plan would be written after a number of meetings with teachers, parents, students, business leaders, and other stakeholders in the community.
Board of Education Member David Fricks said he supports creating the charter system plan, but adds that the Board needs to be wholly involved in the creation of that plan. A charter system plan has to be approved by the local Board of Education, as well as the state.
Banks, Madison, and White counties are already charter systems.

Hello again everyone. In case you don't know, my name is Todd Black, and I am the writer and creator of an indie comic called Guardians.
Some of you may have heard of my comic, mainly because it's been reviewed on IGN via the All-Stars, and just recently, they reviewed the latest issue.
I made a blog post recently talking about how I'm doing a Kickstarter to continue my series, with the goal to reach enough funding to make the next two issues of the comic at least. As of tomorrow, we'll be entering the back half of the campaign. Which means now more than ever, I need your help.
What I ask is simple, pledge to the project, then spread the word. "Well how much should I pledge?" You may be asking. Well, that's where the 435 initiative comes in. At the time of this posting, if 435 people pledged $5, this KS will be funded. If you think about it, that's not a lot, but that doesn't mean you should not do it because you think someone else might.
"What do I get for $5?" May be your next question, and I'm happy to answer. For $5, you'll get the entire Guardians series up to date, #0-#3. AND, you'll get an exclusive Guardians wallpaper for you to put wherever you want. And that's just one of the smaller rewards, we have bigger ones if you feel inclined, and with those come bigger rewards. Paperbacks, variant covers, being drawn into the comic, or the big ones like creating a character for the Guardians universe, and having them star in the next comic!
So the potential is there for us to make it, but we need your help to do. I know for a fact there's more than 435 people here on IGN. So, think you can spare $5?
"Why should I pledge to a comic I haven't read?"
Good question, and honestly, unless you're feeling most generous, you probably shouldn't. But allow me a chance to fix that. Below, you'll find a link to our first issue, Guardians #0, don't let the link fool you though. The comic is free to read. You can read it in your browser, or you can download it to your computer.
Guardians #0 is our prologue issue, and it'll tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about our heroes, the city they live in, and a little of what to expect in the series.
Then, if you like it, check out the other link that's also below. That'll lead you to our Kickstarter where you can make your pledge. And if you do decide to pledge, spread the word! The more people that pledge, the better off we'll be.
But more than that, we want you to feel like a part of a team here at Guardians. Or at least like a community. So check out our Facebook Page, or our Twitter feed. We do a lot of fun stuff there (admittedly we're focusing on the KS at the moment...). We do contests, we do chats about comics of all kinds, and most importantly I listen to your opinions about my comic. Because without feedback, I can't get better.
I made the title of this blog what it was because to an indie comic writer, artist, creator, etc., nothing is more important than getting support for their work. Because if they're anything like me, they want to write their comic forever. I hope you'll give me the chance to do this with mine.
I'll update this blog every time someone pledges. Stay tuned!
435 People Needed To Pledge $5

Under the current plan, Ofcom would begin taking bids early next year. The winning bidders would rollout the new services in the fall of 2013. The carriers first want to shorten the bidding time-table, which seems a simple enough task if all interested parties are following the same game plan.
Then there is the task of clearing the spectrum to be auctioned, 800MHz and 2600MHz. Shortening the auction period is for naught if the plan to clear the spectrum is not also accelerated. Many of the carriers have a strong interest in seeing this through since EE announced their plans to light up their LTE network in 16 cities by the end of 2012. EE's LTE network will be on a different spectrum block at 1800MHz.
If the major players come to an agreement, then it looks like there will be broader LTE deployment across the UK a lot earlier than planned.
