Fortumo opens office in India, appoints industry veteran Sanjay Sinha as General Manager
The mobile payments company Fortumo is today announcing the opening of an office in New Delhi, India and the appointment of Sanjay Sinha as General Manager for Fortumo India.
Establishing local presence in India will help Fortumo take a local approach to one of the biggest emerging markets for online payments.
India has less than 20 million credit card owners, meaning 99% of the population cannot pay for content using services such as Google Play or PayPal. Meanwhile, direct carrier billing with Fortumo is available to 600 million phone owners in the country. Fortumo is already working with some of the biggest digital goods merchants in India, including the leading streaming service provider BoxTV.
Fortumo has been operating in India since September when the company announced direct carrier billing support the users of Vodafone, Airtel, Idea and Tata Docomo. Fortumo is the only Western payment provider offering a direct carrier billing solution and covering 70% of mobile subscribers in India.
With direct carrier billing, users do not need to send any messages to complete the purchases – this makes payments faster and in turn increases conversion and revenue for developers.
Sanjay Sinha, General Manager for Fortumo India believes direct carrier billing is the key for developers who want to be successful in India: "Monetization is the biggest challenge for mobile developers and Fortumo is ideally positioned to solve this problem. The mobile ecosystem in India is exploding with established companies setting up their mobile identity and hordes of new start-ups launching. My goal as the general manager for Fortumo India will be to secure a central role for Fortumo in this growing market."
"India is such an important growth market for mobile payments, so we just needed to go local there. We're excited to have Sanjay on board at Fortumo to help both Western developers earn revenues from India and Indian developers to make money from abroad", said Rain Rannu, founder of Fortumo.
Sanjay Sinha has worked in the mobile payments industry for more than a decade. His prior experience includes work at Yahoo India, ACL Wireless and CellNext.
India plays a central role in Fortumo's emerging market strategy, as smartphone users in India are expected to grow to 67 million in 2013 and to 382 million by 2016. India is expected to overtake the United States and place second after China in the number of mobile subscribers in coming years. Revenue from mobile games and applications in India is expected to grow to 427 million USD by 2016.
As feature phones currently hold a dominant position in India, Fortumo has created a customized payment flow for use on feature phones. The solution automatically recognizes when a feature phone environment is being used and morphs itself to enable payments on phones without in-app payment capabilities.
Fortumo is the only mobile payment provider with a self-service setup and no monthly fees or minimum volume commitments – anyone can sign up for an account and get started with mobile payments at http://fortumo.com. Get in touch via email@example.com.
Fortumo Launches 'Expand' Program for Chinese App Developers to Monetize Overseas Markets
Mobile payments company Fortumo is today launching a developer program which will act as a one stop shop for Chinese developers who want to expand their business outside of China. The Fortumo Expand program is free of charge for developers and provides them access to Fortumo payments in 80 countries, as well as localization, testing, distribution and promotion of their apps and games. Fortumo Expand will be implemented by Martti Mustila, former Head of Global Developer Programs at Nokia with 15 years of experience in community management.
"While helping top Western developers to monetize their users with mobile operator billing in China, we realized that it's equally difficult for Chinese developers to achieve international success," said Gewben Wu, Head of Fortumo Asia. "Due to a language barrier, differences in culture and business practices, it is often difficult for Chinese developers to find the right partners in the West. As we are the only Western mobile payment provider with local presence in China, our goal is to help local developers bridge this gap and expand their business in new markets," added Wu.
In addition to providing a mobile payment solution that works in 80 countries through 300 mobile operators, Fortumo will help Chinese developers distribute their apps in twenty third party app stores and provide monthly market reports to emerging countries with the biggest revenue potential. Developers will also receive free localization and testing of their first app from Symbio and free advertising for their Windows Phone or Windows 8 app from AdDuplex.
Fortumo Expand is aimed at developers building apps and games for Android, Windows Phone and Windows 8 platforms. Chinese developers can enroll in the program here.
Fortumo Partners with Kyivstar for Mobile Payments in Ukraine
Partnership solidifies Fortumo's leadership position in Central and Eastern Europe; deal includes special promotion for Zeptolab's hit game Cut the Rope

"Our partnership with Fortumo will bring additional value to both consumers and developers of digital products – users are now able to make purchases within freemium and free-to-play games by charging payments to their mobile phone bill. For developers, mobile payments provide better access to monetizing the Ukrainian market – rather than relying on credit cards, a simpler mobile payment solution is now available to them," said Alexei Kireyev, Head of Product Development and New Business at Kyivstar.
"We are very happy to partner with Kyivstar as the regional leader and role model in providing value-added services to their customers. This partnership will bring additional revenue to developers using Fortumo as Ukraine is one of the largest emerging markets and has great potential for mobile payments," said Gerri Kodres, SVP Business Development and Carrier Relations at Fortumo.

Fortumo Adds New VP to Help US Companies Monetize Mobile Users in Emerging Markets
Jacob Hauskens Joins Fortumo as VP of Sales & Business Development
Mobile payments company Fortumo is today announcing the appointment of Jacob Hauskens as Vice President of Sales & Business Development, based in San Francisco. Jacob has previously led Sony VAIO's PC messaging and monetization platform while at Sony Electronics.
Jacob's main responsibility at Fortumo will be furthering relationships with existing customers including Microsoft, EA, Barnes & Noble and Rovio, as well as establishing new partnerships. "As the US and European mobile software and services markets mature, the next wave of rapid revenue growth is going to come from unlocking the 3 billion customers who have mobile phones but don't have credit cards," said Jacob Hauskens.
"Fortumo is the only mobile payment provider who is able to work with companies of any size – from the smallest indie developer to large corporations, mobile operators and OEM-s. Jacob's experience as an industry veteran will help us take our payment solutions to additional customers and help increase revenue for existing ones," said Rain Rannu, CEO and co-founder of Fortumo.
In addition to holding leadership positions at Sony Electronics and collaborating with companies such as Google, Microsoft, Symantec, and Intel, Jacob has worked as the Director of Business Development for Rocket Lawyer and as an analyst at Bank of America Securities.
Fortumo Cracks Indian Mobile Payment Market With Direct Carrier Billing
Mobile payments company Fortumo has today announced the launch of its mobile payment services in India. Direct carrier billing with four of the largest mobile operators enables Fortumo payments to 530 million mobile phone users, the largest coverage of any mobile payment provider in the country.
"India has historically been a tough market to crack for mobile payment providers due to outdated premium SMS technologies being widely used, making payment integration for mobile game and app developers complicated. Rather than relying on old technologies which were meant for selling ringtones and wallpapers, Fortumo connects to operators directly through direct carrier billing. In this scenario, users do not need to send any messages. This makes payments faster, in turn increasing conversion and revenue for developers," explained Gerri Kodres, SVP Business Development and Carrier Relations at Fortumo.
Despite the continued popularity of feature phones in India (80% market share in H1 2012), smartphones are seeing increased adoption – the number of smartphones sold in Q1 of 2013 grew by 74% with Android dominating the smartphone market at a 90% market share. The Indian mobile gaming market is estimated to reach 574 million USD by 2016.
Fortumo has previously announced direct carrier billing partnerships with some of the largest mobile operator groups in the world, including China Mobile, Telefónica and Telenor. In India, Fortumo's direct carrier billing support is available to subscribers of Vodafone, Airtel, Idea and Tata Docomo who have a combined market share of 61% in India.
Fortumo Connects with China Unicom & China Telecom, Completes China Coverage
Mobile payments provider Fortumo today announced direct carrier billing agreements with China Unicom and China Telecom. Together with an earlier partnership with China Mobile, Fortumo is now the first and only mobile payments provider who can provide mobile operator billing for in-app purchases to all 1.15 billion mobile phone subscribers in China.
"China is already the largest Android market in the world, but Western developers are struggling to enter the market as traditional payment methods, like credit cards, are available to few users and the distribution is very fragmented. Carrier billing can account for up to 75% of all revenues generated from Android apps in China, and now Fortumo enables international developers to take advantage of the most widely-available payment method in the country," said Gerri Kodres, senior vice president of Business Development and Carrier Partnerships at Fortumo.
Unlike Western countries that use Google Play as a standard store, China, on the other hand, has tens of channels for Android distribution. In addition to carrier billing, Fortumo can provide its customers with distribution in most leading Chinese channels, including China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom appstores, 360 Appstore, 91, Wandoujia, HiAPK, Baidu and number of others.
Fortumo's commitment to China is further solidified by its recently establishing a Beijing office, through which Fortumo aims to act as a bridge for Chinese developers seeking to monetize overseas and overseas developers seeking to monetize in China. Fortumo has already closed deals with top Chinese developers, including CocoaChina/Chukong, Gamewave and Boyaa for monetizing their games in the international markets.
In May, Fortumo announced a partnership with leading Chinese phone manufacturer ZTE to start powering in-app payments on ZTE Android smartphones and phones preloaded with quality games and apps. The first smartphones preloaded with apps from Fortumo's customers will reach the market in Q3 2013.
Lotaris Partners With Fortumo For Carrier Billing On Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8
Leading software licensing solution company Lotaris has partnered with mobile payments company Fortumo for carrier billing on Windows 8 and Windows Phone. Carrier billing by Fortumo will enable developers using Lotaris' in-app Commerce solution to charge end-users in 80 countries for both traditional applications and apps in the Windows Store and Windows Phone Store by charging purchases to their phone bill.
"This alliance between Fortumo and Lotaris brings two industry-leading and award-winning mobile content monetization platforms together to form one seamless, flexible solution. Our combined solution allows content developers — from the smallest "indie" to the largest global players — the ability to offer their users the broadest range of business models smoothly integrated with every major payment option, including the widest coverage of mobile operator payment in the world." said Miika Kettunen, GM Lotaris (Europe) and Head of Product Development.
"Mobile payments give developers access to end-users who would otherwise not be able to pay for premium apps, features and in-app purchases — growing the potential user base ten-fold. Combining Lotaris' flexible application licensing with carrier billing will bring exciting new monetization opportunities to developers on Windows platforms and beyond," said Martin Koppel, COO of Fortumo.
"Mobile payments give consumers an alternate payment method to credit cards, which can greatly benefit Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 users and developers," said John Richards, senior director of Windows App Marketing for Microsoft Corp. "We are happy to see companies like Lotaris and Fortumo working together to create attractive financial opportunities for developers and seamless purchasing experiences for users on Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8."
Lotaris will integrate Fortumo's mobile payments SDK for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 into its in-appCommerce solution, making carrier billing available for developers at the end of July.
Fortumo partners with Marmalade, adding support for in-app purchasing in 80 countries
Marmalade – the award-winning cross-platform development tool – and Fortumo, the developer-friendly mobile payments provider, today announced that Fortumo has been seamlessly integrated with the Marmalade SDK to enable developers easy access to in-app purchasing in 80 countries.
This partnership will enable Marmalade's developers to easily add in-app purchasing to all their Android titles. Fortumo's in-app purchasing technology has become the preferred choice for thousands of developers looking to integrate mobile operator billing and in-app purchasing on Android, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, and online and credit card billing on NOOK®.
Fortumo's SDK is also the official in-app purchasing solution for Barnes & Noble's NOOK Store™, where Marmalade developers can now more easily earn money from their freemium apps.
"Our developers are always looking for the most effective ways to monetise their apps for mobile and tablet devices." said Tim Closs, CTO of Marmalade. He continued: "At Marmalade we aim to give our community the greatest possible choice for how they develop content and generate revenue. With the integration of Fortumo's services into our SDK, we're continuing our commitment to our developers and opening up even more opportunities for them to succeed"
"Developers use Marmalade to deploy apps easily across multiple platforms; in the same way, they want easy access to billing capabilities across every country and app store. Fortumo's in-app purchasing is unique because with one integration developers can make money in any Android app store" added Martin Koppel, COO of Fortumo.
"Enthusiasm towards in-app purchasing from the NOOK developer community has been outstanding. We are excited about the partnership between Fortumo and Marmalade as it reduces the effort for developers to bring new and exciting digital content into NOOK Apps™ while helping them increase their revenue," said Claudia Romanini, Vice President of NOOK Apps, NOOK Media LLC.
Fortumo's in-app purchasing uses mobile operator billing, which works for any mobile user in 80 countries. This is especially useful in emerging markets where many more people have mobile phones than have credit cards. Using Fortumo, some app developers have increased their conversion and revenues by more than 10 times.

ZTE Joygor Partners With Fortumo For App Billing and In-App Purchasing
ZTE Joygor, a subsidiary of ZTE Corporation ("ZTE") (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a publicly-listed global provider of telecommunications equipment, network solutions and mobile devices, has partnered with mobile payments company Fortumo for app billing and in-app purchasing.
Through the partnership, ZTE Joygor will use Fortumo's billing connections in 80 countries for monetizing users on ZTE Joygor's app platform, which comes preloaded on millions of ZTE devices worldwide.
As part of the deal, users of ZTE phones will also get access to top mobile games already using Fortumo's in-app purchasing for Android, as these apps will be preloaded directly to ZTE handsets.
"ZTE is offering the industry's most comprehensive product range, covering virtually everything from telecommunications equipment to content. Preloading quality freemium apps directly to the handsets is great for users and a very successful strategy for developers," says Gao Yunfei, General Manager of ZTE Joygor. "We're excited to work with Fortumo for both their billing capabilities and for their partnerships with top app developers."
Fortumo's in-app purchasing SDK has become an industry standard for mobile operator billing and in-app purchasing on Android. It is already used by most top app developers such as Rovio, Popcap, Gameloft, Digital Chocolate, Vostu, Game Insight and Alawar for in-app purchasing in over 50 Android appstores globally; Fortumo is also the official in-app purchasing provider for Barnes & Noble's NOOK appstore.
"Android app developers don't want to do a different billing integration for each appstore. Fortumo has been successful because our technology enables them to do only one integration and make money in many Android appstores, including handset manufacturer and mobile operator preloads, in 80 countries", says Gerri Kodres, SVP of Business Development and Carrier Partnerships at Fortumo.
"We're impressed with ZTE Joygor's platform and global reach from emerging markets like China all the way to US and Europe. We're looking forward to a long-term partnership between ZTE and Fortumo" added Kodres.
First ZTE handsets with preloaded apps using Fortumo's billing and in-app purchasing are expected to become available in the 2nd quarter of this year.

In what has seemed like a snapshot in time, the first grade year has come to an end. We are finalizing our play, " The Nixie in the Mill Pond." The children are so excited about their upcoming performance! We have reflected on the full year, and to hear all the enjoyable moments they have had is so wonderful. They have been discussing all they have learned throughout this past year with anticipation for the year to come. We were invited on Wednesday to the kindergarten puppet play and to watch the children cross the bridge out of kindergarten. I welcomed each child with a hug, and the class warmly welcomed them as new first graders in our Grade1/2 class for the coming school year.

Why rural Americans are doomed to second-rate broadband
Robert L. Mitchell
July 24, 2007 11:49 AM EDT
When it comes to ranking broadband services, users rank Verizon's DSL near the bottom of the list for overall satisfaction, upload speed, customer service and e-mail, according to a
Computerworld survey
released today. But that's exactly the type of broadband service that rural Verizon customers are likely to get in the Northeast once FairPoint Communications takes over Verizon's rural lines business in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.
Verizon's move is part of a broad strategy to shed less profitable business in rural areas while retaining business in higher density metropolitan areas, where the return per mile of fiber optic cable is highest. It's a strategy that makes perfect business sense for a publicly held business that must please shareholders with the highest possible return on investment.
Today, most rural New England customers can't even get basic DSL. But even if FairPoint does offer broadband to more rural customers, will it truly be high speed? Or will it be yesterday's technology, while the rest of the world moves to multi-megabit speeds capable of supporting multimedia video and audio streams?
Today FairPoint is supposed to reveal more details on how it will improve broadband connectivity in the Northeast once it acquires Verizon's rural lines in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Don't expect much. Promises aside, the company is woefully under capitalized to be bringing even pokey DSL to rural New England, let alone next generation broadband services (to see why, read
Verizon deal rips off rural users, rips open digital divide
While unions and regulators argue about jobs, few question the economics of how tiny FairPoint will bring rural Americans in the Northeast into the broadband age. That's important because the telephone network is slowly disappearing into the Internet. And while universal access for telephone service is still a reality, there is no such entitlement for rural Americans when it comes to broadband. Unless an investment is made, most of them will remain in maintenance mode on the outdated twisted pair infrastructure while the rest of the world moves from basic broadband to high-speed fiber. Publicly traded communications businesses - whether telcos or the cable companies - will never make that investment.
FairPoint has said that it will spend $13.8 million the next two years in Vermont to upgrade facilities statewide and add 41,000 broadband lines to unserved areas surrounding Vermont's eight largest cities. Even if all of that money was spent on expanding broadband connectivity to more homes and businesses it would amount to an investment of just $336 per customer. That's hardly enough of an incentive to reach rural customers - which is why the expansion focuses only around the largest cities. FairPoint also intends to invest $30.2 million into broadband expansion in Maine and New Hampshire.
But today Verizon services an anemic 180,000 of the 3 million residents in the Northeast. It will take a far bigger investment than that to get even basic broadband services to the majority of New Englanders.
Meanwhile, as rural America struggles to upgrade its aging copper infrastructure, Verizon customers in metro areas will enjoy fiber to the home and the speed and reliability benefits that come with its next generation FiOS service -
rated number one
in Computerworld's survey for performance and reliability.
America gave away the rate base that protected rural consumers in 1996. Now we're starting to see what the largely unregulated broadband market will deliver. Metro areas where customer density is high will see first-tier services. Surrounding areas will see second-tier services that remain at least a generation behind in capabilities. More remote rural areas will receive promises but will probably remain on dial-up. Because without a subsidy or regulation requiring universal access, it just won't happen.

His mama sometimes calls him the jackal. And truth, like the canine of the same name, this little man is fiercely devoted to his family and protective of his prized Thomas collection. He's also elusive – choosing to dodge the camera to immerse himself in play, which, let's face it, is far more fun than pausing for portraits.
Right around the time he was born, "the Incredibles" was the go-to superhero movie. So it's no wonder he's occasionally called "Jack-Jack." If you saw how quickly he runs through his alphabet, identifies his colors, and articulates his every thought, you'd probably surmise that he's pretty super, too.
And remember "Pirates of the Caribbean?" Oh, yeah. Meet this family's Captain Jack. Funny, outwitting, charming, sly – - all accurate descriptors.
I had a blast trying to capture little Jack, who at just 4 months shy of 3-years-old, is one of the cutest blonde haired, green eyed charmers.
I admit it, mama, he's one awesome little dude.

Johannesburg - The case against one of six men accused of involvement in a child pornography syndicate was postponed in the Randburg Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
The grey-haired man stood quietly in the dock during his brief court appearance.
The matter was postponed to November 5 for the report of the cyber crimes unit to be received. His bail was extended until the next court date.
He was one of six men arrested on August 15, after police received a tip-off from Interpol.
The six, from four provinces, were arrested for possession of child pornography.
The accused were arrested in Lichtenburg, Bloemfontein, White River, Douglasdale, Florida, and Potchefstroom.
The six are a lawyer, a dermatologist, a businessman, two teachers, and a retired school principal.
Police raided several homes in various provinces in August.
Among the items seized were 672 dvds, 22 memory sticks, eight laptops, two computer tablets, 39 external hard drives, and 25 books containing child porn pictures.

TX Gov. Perry heading back to Missouri
Texas Governor Rick Perry will be back in Missouri at the end of the month.
Perry had created a buzz earlier this summer with an ad campaign that attempted to lure businesses away from Missouri. He visited the state to lobby, unsuccessfully, for an override of Governor Nixon's tax cut veto.
Perry, fellow former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum, and anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist will all address the Conservative Political Action Conference, or "CPAC" gathering St. Louis. The regional convention of the American Conservative Union is a showcase for the conservative political movement.
Other confirmed participants include Missouri's junior Senator Roy Blunt and Kansas Governor Sam Brownback.
Legislators unable to override veto on tax cut bill
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is cheering the decision of lawmakers to sustain his veto of an income tax cut bill.
The House voted 94-67 Wednesday to override Nixon's veto, well short of the 109 votes needed for a two-thirds majority.
Nixon issued a statement Wednesday saying the vote was "a defining moment for our state and a victory for all Missourians."
He called the legislation "fiscally irresponsible" and asserted that it would have "defunded our schools and weakened our economy."
Fifteen Republicans joined Democrats in voting against the veto override.
Republican Party leaders had said the legislation was needed to help businesses compete with neighboring states that have recently cut taxes.
The bill would have gradually reduced income taxes both for businesses and individuals.
Analysis: Huge MO tax cut largely hypothetical
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Governor Jay Nixon says a clause in the income tax cut bill that he vetoed could have triggered a $1.2 billion run on the state treasury.
Attorney General Chris Koster agreed with Nixon's legal analysis this past week. But the projection remains largely hypothetical.
The Missouri bill would trigger a one-half of a percent reduction in state income tax rates if the federal government enacts a measure making it easier for states to collect online sales taxes.
That bill has stalled in the U.S. House. But if it passes, then all of Missouri's roughly 2.8 million income taxpayers would have to amend three years of tax returns for Nixon's projections to hit in a single year.
The courts likely would have to determine whether the retroactive tax refund is legal.
Veto override still unsure on MO income tax cut
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Some Republicans in the Missouri House say a veto override appears likely for a high-profile gun bill, but the odds remain uncertain for a tax-cutting measure after a meeting of GOP lawmakers.
House Republicans who attended a private weekend caucus said Monday that there was a lot of discussion about the income tax cut vetoed by Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. T.J. Berry of Kearney, says he feels more optimistic about the prospects of an override. But the meeting may not have changed too many minds. Rep. Don Phillips, of Kimberling City, says he still plans to vote "no."
Rep. Doug Funderburk, of St. Peters, says his bill attempting to nullify some federal gun-control laws received little Republican opposition and appears poised for a veto override.
Battle continues over vetoed Missouri tax cut bill
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri House Speaker Tim Jones is rallying support for an effort to override Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of tax-cutting legislation.
Jones, a Republican from Eureka, says reducing taxes would grow the economy, create additional economic opportunities and allow more funding for education. On Wednesday, Nixon was renewing his objections to the tax legislation in southern Missouri. The Democratic governor has traveled throughout the state to defend the veto.
Nixon's asserts the tax cut would jeopardize funding for government services and boost taxes on prescription drugs.
Jones told supporters in Fulton on Tuesday that he sees "the momentum on our side." He says it is a commonsense measure.
House Republicans are meeting this week to discuss possible veto overrides. Missouri lawmakers return to the state Capitol on Sept. 11.
Analysis: Fees would rise under MO legislation
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri's Republican-led Legislature put a priority on cutting taxes this year. But the same lawmakers who passed a $700 million income tax cut also approved numerous little-known fee increases.
One of those measures could increase fees on driver's licenses and vehicle registrations, costing Missourians almost $22 million annually.
Another bill would impose fees on mailed-in speeding traffic tickets, affecting an estimated 170,000 cases annually.
Missourians could pay more to get copies of their own medical records or court transcripts. Businesses could get charged more for certain Agriculture Department services. And court fees could rise in some places.
Although fees and taxes both take money from people, many Republican lawmakers have drawn a philosophical distinction. They say taxes are applied generally, and fees are charged only for specific services.
Gov. Nixon vetoes income tax cut
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Gov. Jay Nixon has vetoed legislation that would have reduced Missouri's income tax rates for the first time in more than 90 years.
The legislation vetoed Wednesday had been touted by the Republican-led Legislature as a way to keep Missouri economically competitive with neighbors such as Kansas and Oklahoma that have cut taxes.
But Nixon cited concern about an apparent mistake in the legislation that would have repealed an existing sales tax exemption on prescription medicine. The Democratic governor also has raised concern that the lost income tax revenues could hurt funding for education and mental health services.
The bill would have gradually reduced corporate and individual income tax rates while also creating a new deduction for business income reported on individual income taxes.
Gov Nixon: Tax bill could raise taxes on prescription drugs
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon says an income-tax cut bill passed by the Legislature also could levy taxes on prescription drugs.
Nixon released a written statement Thursday saying the legislation would repeal an existing sales tax exemption on prescriptions, which could cost consumers $200 million annually.
The Democratic governor has previously indicated that he is likely to veto the bill. His previous statements pointed to the eventual loss of hundreds of millions of dollars for state services as a result of the income tax cut.
The legislation was handled by Republican Sen. Will Kraus, of Lee's Summit. Kraus said Thursday that he did not intend to tax prescription drugs. If that's the case, he says Nixon should sign the bill and call a special session so lawmakers can fix it.
Nixon seems likely to veto income tax cut
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Gov. Jay Nixon has indicated that he's likely to veto legislation that would cut Missouri income taxes for businesses and individuals.
Nixon said Friday that he has "serious concerns" about the income cut passed a day earlier by the Legislature. He called it fiscally irresponsible and said it could jeopardize funding for higher education, prisons and other government services.
The tax cut was a priority of the Republican-led Legislature and is meant to counteract recent income tax reductions in Kansas.
The Democratic governor estimated that it could eventually drain more than $800 million annually from state revenues.
The measure would essentially cut the income tax in half for businesses and reduce the top tax rate for individuals from 6 percent to 5.5 percent over the next decade.

Man, oh man! It doesn't take long anymore to get mean online, does it? Unfortunately, it doesn't take much to get mean in the restaurant scene, either. It's an area that seems void of training. Hey, to those of you who make money serving people as they dine, allow me to let you in on a little secret: WE CARE ABOUT BEING SERVED CORRECTLY. If it's all you have to do, then why not do it right? We don't want you to be our best friend; we want to you to make sure our experience is worth the extra money we pay not to feed ourselves at home. Because in this economy, we can, you know? And then where would you be? Finally, a tip no one seems to know: Don't remove any plates until EVERYONE at the table is finished eating!
I can't get the servers sitting down with you. Forget that! The problem with ALL restaurants in the South is that the staff want to be your best friend. Why? Bigger tips. Instead, you keep your floor and keep me well served and I'll keep my seat and give you a big tip. Another 'MUST STOP NOW' for restaurants: LOUDNESS (music, plus voices bouncing off cement walls, wood floors, etc.; get some sound panels!) and temperatures that please only the staff but leave women, especially (typically dressed to please their dates), freezing! Enough already! If you spend all your time on the menu and don't cover the comforting BASICS, customers won't return but you won't know why.

By contrast, in more than 90 percent of endometrial cancers, the gene has undergone hypermethylation, an epigenetic modification that doesn't change its DNA sequence but renders it inactive.

PLOS Genetics Dartmouth researcher finds novel genetic patterns that make us rethink biology and individuality Scott Williams, Ph.D., of the iQBS at Dartmouth, has made two novel discoveries: 1) a person can have several DNA mutations in parts of their body, with their original DNA in the rest -- resulting in several different genotypes in one individual -- and 2) some of the same genetic mutations occur in unrelated people. We think of each person's DNA as unique, but if a person can have more than one genotype, this may have broad implications.

Nature Biotechnology Cost-effective method accurately orders DNA sequencing along entire chromosomes A new computational method has been shown to quickly assign, order and orient DNA sequencing information along entire chromosomes. The method may help overcome a major obstacle that has delayed progress in designing rapid, low-cost -- but still accurate -- ways to assemble genomes from scratch. Data gleaned through this new method can also validate certain types of chromosomal abnormalities in cancer.

Used Nissan
Nissan is a Japanese car company with manufacturing facilities all over the world. Originally Datsun, the first Nissan branded cars were launched in 1981. Nissan cars are renowned for their high levels of quality, dependability and performance whilst still being available at reasonable prices.
The most popular used Nissan models are the 350 and 370 roadsters and coupes, the Almera, Micra, and Primera. Other models go by such names as the Cube, Juke and Leaf and there is also the X-Trail off-roader, which compares well with the Land Rover Freelander.
There really is a Nissan car to suit the needs of every motorist. If you are looking for a car that is very cheap to run, easy to drive and great in town, then a used Micra could be your ideal choice.
If you are looking for a neat an economical hatchback that does what is says on the tin without pretention, then the Almera is certainly worth a try.
If you are seeking a more up-market car with a little more style, then the Primera would be a good choice. Currently this is a great used car buy and Motors.co.uk will be able to find a great used Primera near you.
If you are looking for a genuine off-roader and you would like to pay a little less, then you can't go wrong with a used X-Trail.
At the opposite end of the spectrum Nissan make a great range of sports coupes and roadsters. The 370Z Roadster is a great example, boasting superb performance and handling and its 3.7 litre V6 engine's 331bhp will propel you from rest to 62 mph in just 5.3 seconds. Some used models also have a seven speed paddle shift gearbox.
Whatever your choice of a used Nissan car you will find the perfect bargain at Motors.co.uk.

Katherine Jackson, attorney, meet face-to-face
LOS ANGELES — Katherine Jackson's attorney said late Thursday that he had met with his client face-to-face for the first time in several days and that she was doing fine despite familial squabbling that forced a judge to temporarily suspend her as guardian of her son Michael's three children.
"I had a long and productive meeting today with Mrs. Jackson," Perry Sanders Jr. wrote in a statement. "I am pleased to report that she is fine and she laughed at the widely publicized report that she had suffered a stroke."
The description of Jackson suffering a stroke was included in a letter signed by five of her children calling on executors of Michael Jackson's estate to step down. The letter was leaked last week and was an early sign of turmoil that was to come for the Jackson clan. Since late Saturday when a relative reported Katherine Jackson missing, speculation has swirled about her whereabouts, her health and why she hadn't called her grandchildren for nearly 10 days. Rival factions in the family released dueling statements on Twitter and family members tussled in the driveway of her home in an incident that remains under investigation.
Sanders said he would be releasing a formal statement Friday morning about his discussions with Katherine Jackson. He has previously said he will move to re-instate her as guardian over Jackson's children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket.
Although Thursday was a mostly quiet day in the ongoing Jackson family turmoil, it was not without drama.
"Although I am happy my grandma was returned, after speaking with her I realized how misguided and how badly she was lied to," Prince Jackson wrote in a posting on his Twitter account. "I'm really angry and hurt."
Hours later the post was deleted, but re-emerged by late afternoon, with the eldest son of Michael Jackson wondering if his account had been hacked. The post was the first time Prince Jackson, 15, had publicly commented on his grandmother's absence.
A judge on Wednesday granted Tito Jackson's son TJ temporary guardianship over the children, citing concerns that Katherine Jackson was being prevented from fulfilling her role as guardian. Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said there were no indications the 82-year-old had done anything wrong, and he would likely re-instate her upon her return.
Katherine Jackson had been at a Tucson, Ariz. spa since July 15 with her daughter Rebbie and other relatives and had not spoken to her grandchildren during that time. TJ Jackson and numerous others said that was unusual and when she did call, he said she sounded "strange."
"I've never heard my grandmother talk like that," he said reluctantly. "In every way. The sound in her voice. The pauses."
Sanders, who had flown to Arizona to try to meet with his client on Tuesday, was not allowed to see her at the resort.
He said some of her speech sounded slurred and she used words that made him wonder if she was speaking in code.
Before leaving Arizona to return to her hilltop home in suburban Calabasas, Katherine Jackson told ABC News that the court ruling was "based on a bunch of lies."
If Katherine Jackson does not move for an emergency hearing to reinstate her guardianship position, another hearing in the case will be convened Aug. 22.

I was sexually assaulted by Labour ministers who chased me around filing cabinets, claims Baroness Williams
- Ex-Education Secretary says she was pursued by older men in 1970s
- 'Worse than groping' but did not speak out because it was part of politics
- Quit party to set-up SDP and later the Liberal Democrats
- Defended ex-Lib Dem chief Lord Rennard over groping claims
By Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor
Labour Cabinet ministers tried to sexually assault female politicians, Shirley Williams claimed today.
The former Education Secretary claimed that 'more than one' senior government figure launched assaults in the 1970s.
She said the attacks were 'worse than groping' but she did not speak out because of the view that politics is 'not a soft business'.
Assault: Baroness Williams said that as a Labour minister she was pursued by older men in government in the 1970s
Baroness Williams served in Labour governments from 1974 to 1979, before later quitting the party to set up the SDP and later the Liberal Democrats.
The 82-year-old has repeatedly spoken out to defend former Lib Dem chief executive Lord Rennard, who faces a string of sex assault claims against him from party staff and activists. He strenuously denies any wrongdoing.
Baroness Williams revealed that as a female politician serving at the top of government in the 1970s she was frequently pursued by older men.
Claims: Baroness Williams defended former Lib Dem chief executive Lord Rennard against sexual harassment claims, saying he was 'a very fine man'
Allegations of the serious assaults, committed by Cabinet ministers, come at a time when police are also investigating numerous showbusiness stars over claims of sex attacks during the 1970s.
But Baroness Williams said she did not speak out at the time, because she would have been dismissed for not accepting it was part of life in Westminster at the time.
'As a woman MP I spent a great deal of my youth being pursued by senior gentlemen,' she told The Sun. 'It was much worse than groping, it was assaulting.
'If I'd said, "I've been pursued around the filing cabinets by Mr X" — and Mr X did exist and he was a Cabinet Minister — they'd have said, "For God's sake, this isn't what politics is about, it's not a soft business".'
Asked by the newspaper to name the minister, Baroness Williams replied: 'No. There was more than one.'
She was Prices and Consumer Protection Secretary under Harold Wilson, and later Paymaster General and Education Secretary in Harold Wilson's government from 1976 to 1979.
She quit the Labour party in 1981,and was part of the famous Gang of Four – with Roy Jenkins, David Owen and Bill Rodgers – who set up the SDP, which later merged with the Liberal Party in 1988 to create the Liberal Democrats.
Baroness Williams again defended Lord Rennard, who was the Lib Dem chief executive from 2003 to 2009.
She said: 'Chris has been a rock to the Liberal party, he's been an absolutely critical factor in our success.'
Minister: Baroness Williams was Education Secretary in the Labour government from 1976-79, before quitting the party to set up the SDP
In February Baroness Williams came to the defence of Lord Rennard, after it emerged sexual harassment claims him had been a factor in his early retirement.
Nick Clegg promised a party inquiry and in April Scotland Yard began a criminal inquiry, interviewing up to 20 potential victims and witnesses.
But Baroness Williams, one of the most senior Lib Dem women, said the situation had been 'hopelessly exaggerated' and insisted Lord Rennard was 'a very fine man'.
However, she did say that women in Parliament were 'not treated very fairly' and said the Commons was a 'very bullying place, a very masculine culture'.
