NEW YORK — The price tag remains a big question mark as Apple prepares Tuesday to unveil what is expected to be a smaller iPad.
Apple hasn't said anything about the device, but the veil of secrecy that the company throws over unreleased products has been a see-through affair this year. Most of the details of the iPhone 5, for instance, were known well in advance of its launch a month ago.
In the case of the "iPad Mini" (the real name is not known), tech bloggers and analysts expect a device with a screen measuring 7.85 inches on the diagonal, making it about half the size of the regular iPad. It would be slightly larger than the 7-inch tablets it's presumably designed to compete with, including Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindle Fire and Google Inc.'s Nexus 7.
The Kindle Fire starts at $159, and the Nexus 7 at $199. Meanwhile, Apple sells the iPad 2 for $399 and the 4-inch iPod Touch for $199. Company watchers are pegging the price of the smaller iPad somewhere in between.
Most of the guesses range from $249 to $299, but the blog 9to5Mac said Monday that the price would be $329. That would make the iPad Mini twice the price of the cheapest Kindle Fire and leave plenty of room for other manufacturers to snap up value shoppers this holiday season. The blog did not disclose its source and has had a mixed record in predicting details on unreleased Apple products.
Analysts such as Brian White of Topeka Capital Markets believe that Apple will also sell a step-up version of the iPad Mini, one with the ability to access 4G cellular networks for an additional monthly fee. That's a feature that the cheaper, 7-inch tablets don't have.
Apple is holding Tuesday's presentation at a theater in San Jose, Calif., starting at 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT). The company typically starts selling a new phone or iPad a week or two after announcing it. But it could treat the new iPad as a minor product update, in which case it could start sales right after the announcement.
Apple has sold 84 million iPads since their debut in April 2010. One of the first competitors to appear was a Samsung tablet with a 7-inch screen. Apple's late founder, Steve Jobs, made a rare appearance at an October 2010 conference call with analysts — his last — to deride the concept.
"The reason we wouldn't make a 7-inch tablet isn't because we don't want to hit a price point. It's because we don't think you can make a great tablet with a 7-inch screen," Jobs said. "The 7-inch tablets are tweeners, too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with an iPad."
He said the resolution of the display could be increased to make up for the smaller size, but that would be "meaningless, unless your tablet also includes sandpaper, so that the user can sand down their fingers to around one quarter of the present size."
"There are clear limits of how close you can physically place elements on a touch screen before users cannot reliably tap, flick or pinch them. This is one of the key reasons we think the 10-inch screen size is the minimum size required to create great tablet apps," he said.
Jobs didn't mention that Apple has had great success developing software that uses taps, flicks and pinches for the iPhone, which has a screen one quarter of the size he was attacking.
Jobs, who died last October, had strong opinions, but he also changed his mind frequently. The production of a smaller iPad would not be the first time that Apple has made a product that Jobs initially dismissed as ridiculous.
In an internal email sent in January 2011, Apple senior vice president Eddy Cue said that a 7-inch tablet would work well and that Jobs was starting to come around to the idea. The email surfaced as part of Apple's patent trial against Samsung Electronics Co. this year.
Apart from the smaller iPad, Apple is also expected to refresh some other products. There's speculation that the MacBook will come in a version with a 13-inch, high-resolution "Retina" screen. The 15-inch MacBook got an option for a Retina screen this summer.

Anger at Newcastle Wonga deal
Newcastle United's decision to agree a sponsorship deal with payday loan company Wonga has prompted an angry reaction in the North East.
Newcastle United's decision to agree a sponsorship deal with payday loan company Wonga has prompted an angry reaction in the North East.
The Muslim Council of Britain has warned Newcastle's Muslim players that wearing shirts carrying Wonga's sponsorship could infringe Sharia law.
Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra, assistant secretary general of the MCB, told the Independent:
"The idea is to protect the vulnerable and needy from exploitation by the rich and powerful.
"When they are lending and are charging large amounts of interest, it means the poor will have short-term benefit from the loan but long-term difficulty in paying it back."
"The Islamic system is based on a non-interest-based system of transaction," he added.
Mogra points out that former Tottenham striker Frederic Kanoute, a practising Muslim, was allowed to wear an un-branded shirt when playing for Sevilla, who were at the time sponsored by gambling firm 888.com.

MIAMI, Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Puerto Rican producer, composer, pianist and director of La Riquena orchestra, MARLOW ROSADO, received the Grammy award for Best Tropical Latin Album of the Year for his work "RETRO," during the 55th annual Grammy Awards of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, held in the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The award of an American Grammy in the Tropical category is a distinction achieved by very few Hispanic artists. That distinction grows when the winner is a teacher who has shared his musical knowledge with the children of Miami's primary schools; and the satisfaction is even greater considering that competition for the award included talents like Eddie Montalvo and the bachatero Romeo Santos.
Marlow grew up in Catano, Puerto Rico listening to Salsa Dura, Andy Montanez, Papo Luca y su Sonora Poncena, Ismael Miranda, Ismael Rivera and the others who led the way during the 70's. "RETRO" was produced as a sincere homage to the best and the greatest of the Golden Age of Salsa, integrating elements of modern music while not losing the essence of the original work. He is accompanied in the work by a select group of musicians and singers, as well as some of the living legends of the genre.
"RETRO," now available through all on-line stores, features other guest artists such as Bobby Cruz, Tony Vega, Luigi Texidor, Marlon Fernandez, Kevin Ceballo, Tito Puente, Jr., bassist Salvador Cuevas and Quique Domenech with a stylish revival of "Adoracion", "Anacaona", "Fuego a la Jicotea", Marvin Santiago's classic, Senor Sereno, Naci Moreno y Jibaro soy; as well as other artists from different Caribbean countries including Venezuela, Colombia and Panama, who join in and harmonize with the impeccable sound of "La Riquena."
Marlow graduated in music education and obtained his master's degree in Jazz. He taught for nine years in the elementary schools of Miami as he pursued a career in the music industry. He has been nominated for a Grammy in the past for his participation in the Alejandra Guzman production of Lipstick; he has worked with such stars as Desmond Child, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin, Yolandita Monge, and Noelia and acted as orchestra director for stars such as Tito Nieves and the legendary Celia Cruz.

Wimbledon 2013:Tearful Laura Robson admits pressure hurt her chances
Home-favourite beaten in straight-sets by Kaia Kanepi
Steve Tongue
Steve Tongue is a Football Correspondent for The Independent.
Monday 01 July 2013
For Laura Robson there were only tears for souvenirs and a mature acceptance that defeats like today's against Kaia Kanepi by 7-6, 7-5 are "all part of the learning process".
After buoyant, upbeat interview sessions following last week's triumphs, the odd risque joke included, it was an infinitely more sombre 19-year-old who went through the motions here with good grace but heavy heart.
She admitted to having put great pressure on herself, which was perhaps unwise since there was more than enough of that negative force being applied externally. Once-a-year tennis fans almost certainly underestimated the Estonian from the lovely city of Tallinn, who had finished last year in the top 20; it was only an achilles injury that caused her to drop lower than Robson, who admitted: "In theory I'm ranked higher, but she's made [quarter-finals] before here, she's very tough on grass and loves playing here. So I would say it was pretty evenly matched and I think that's the way the match went."
In evenly matched contests in any sport, opportunities have to be taken and the acceptance or spurning of them was the story of today's encounter. In the third round on Saturday, Robson had begun slowly, going a set and 5-3 down to Marina Erakovic, but here she served strongly from the start with a smattering of aces and when the Kanepi serve faltered, she was able to break for a 5-4 lead. Serving for the set, however, she found the Estonian returning superbly and Robson went long to concede a break back. Falling behind in the next game she let out a first yell of frustration and after forcing the tie-break and leading it 5-2 suddenly tightened up.
Four points in a row slipped away, one of them through a dreadful double fault when Robson's second serve bounced before even reaching the net. One set point was saved but hitting wide twice more proved costly and the Estonian was ahead after 49 minutes.
Robson's fourth double fault early in the second set – her highest number at the Championships but still a considerable improvement on previous tournaments, with a worst of 17 – did no damage, but it became impossible to take much off the Kanepi serve and she was twice reduced to saving a break point with an ace of over 100mph.
The Court One crowd, which appeared to contain few if any Estonians, was hushed when Robson dropped her serve without taking a point to trail 5-6. Roaring her on for saving match point four times, they must nevertheless have been feeling a sense of the inevitable as the fifth arrived, whereupon Robson was caught off balance by a forehand winner.
She left hurriedly "trying not to cry" but not obviously succeeding, resigned to not after all becoming the first British women's quarter-finalist since Jo Durie almost 30 years ago. Her forehand had been disappointing and it was not surprising to hear that she will be working on that before the US Open in September, by which time she should be a top 30 player and a seed. "I think my forehand on hard courts is going to be a weapon," she said. "In the last couple of weeks I've been working on trying to get a little more spin on that. That was something I didn't really do too well today. So I'm definitely going to be working on that and continuing the work on my serve."
Miles McLagan has been credited with much of the improvement in that department since taking on coaching responsibilities only a few weeks ago and Robson anticipates continuing to work with him.
Kanepi, who claims to be the best known sportsman or woman in Estonia - not a hugely competitive field - said: "It was a tough match and I'm just happy to get through it. My serve and my baseline game I played very well. I thought the crowd were very fair, they didn't applaud my double faults." She will have more support tomorrow against Sabine Lisicki.
Later she suffered a second defeat of the day, going out in the first round of the mixed doubles with Scotland's Colin Fleming when Filip Polasek and Janette Husarova beat them 6-7, 6-2 6-4.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. — Reminders of the legend of the swallows are everywhere at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano: Tiny swallow silhouettes are etched into paving tiles, replicas of their distinctive mud nests hang from buildings and the gift shop overflows with swallow items. What's missing are the swallows themselves.
The graceful birds once swarmed to the 236-year-old mission each spring, flying from Argentina to nest in the stone of the mission's earthquake-damaged church. In recent years, however, the swallows have all but vanished.
Now, decades after their annual ritual was immortalized in a chart-topping romantic ballad, the mission is attempting to lure the swallows with hidden speakers playing cliff swallow courtship calls for up to six hours a day during mating season.
The experiment has so far been unsuccessful.

Recent Catalina Foothills reviews
"We stayed in this unit for 6 weeks, and found it to be very nicely furnished, with lots of extras, like extra paper products and paperbacks, etc. The owners were very easy to work with and responsive to our questions. The complex is quiet and well maintained, with a lovely pool and hot tub. The patio faces north, so it didn't catch much of the winter sun. The community dumpster was near the front of the unit, and the trash was collected twice/week early in the morning. The complex is convenient to grocery stores, restaurants, and many of the hiking trails in the Catalinas and Sabino Canyon."Guest: aj Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: February 23, 2015View listing
"Outstanding mountain and city view! Not only the location but the house, the pool, the spa provided a very lururious environment.

"The description and the listing photos of the property was spot on and located in the upscale Catalina Foothills. The property was clean and well-maintained. Laurie has an instruction sheet for use of TV, phone, Internet access, etc. The kitchen is well stocked with the dishes and utensils for a large family. The one-car garage was particularly convenient during the monsoon season. We had a great stay and highly recommend anyone staying here!"Guest: Dan Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 1, 2014View listing
"The condo matched the description and photos posted on VBRO. It's worth mentioning that the kitchen was very well equipped. There was a good supply of small appliances, bowls, pots, and cooking utensils. There were plenty of linens. The second bedroom is small, but the picture shows you that. If there is a down-side, it is the location of the parking lot. It is behind the building and up a few stairs. Since it rarely rains in Tucson it wasn't a problem. Overall, a good condo with pleasant, responsive owners."Guest: Susan Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 3, 2015View listing

Bisons: Ricky Romero's good start spoiled by terrible finish
Romero walked all four batters he faced in the sixth inning — three of which scored — after he allowed just four hits and two walks through five innings.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
BUFFALO—Ricky Romero showed small signs of improvement in his third start before enduring a troublesome finish and the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons defeated the Charlotte Knights 8-7 in 10 innings on Tuesday.
Romero walked all four batters he faced in the sixth inning — three of which scored — after he allowed just four hits and two walks through five innings. He did not factor into the decision as the Bisons beat Charlotte in extra innings.
The left-hander, optioned to Buffalo by the Blue Jays on May 10 after two ineffective major league starts, threw 47 of 96 pitches for strikes, a ratio hindered by recording only four strikes in his 20-pitch sixth inning.
"It's a frustrating way to end the night," said Romero, who left with a 7-2 lead. "I put the team into a hole there, but those first five innings were pretty good."
Romero admitted the battle right now is more in his mind.
"Nobody takes it harder than I do," he said. "I prepare every outing as hard as I can. It's tough to sleep at night. It's more mental than physical. It's like you're fighting yourself sometimes. I'm hoping I can overcome it quick."
Dustin McGowan, another erstwhile Toronto starter, made a rehab appearance and retired one of the five batters he faced in the seventh inning. He allowed three runs on two hits and two walks.
Romero has allowed 35 base-runners (18 hits and 17 walks) in 12 1/3 innings with Buffalo while striking out three. His Triple-A earned-run average fell to 8.76.
Tuesday marked the second time in six pro starts this season that Romero logged at least five innings. He went seven frames in his season debut for Single-A Dunedin on April 27.

Lou Amundson says after Bulls deal ends he's a Hornet
Mar 11, 2013, 8:33 PM EDT
Those 10-day contracts a bunch of teams are handing out are technically two-way streets — not only is the team seeing if the player is a fit for them, the player is checking out the team as well. Except that usually the player doesn't really have another option and are willing to latch on regardless of the situation.
Lou Amundson is not that guy. He is with the Bulls on a 10-day deal but he has options. And he plans to use them, he told Chris Tomasson of Fox Sports Florida.
Lou Amundson wrote me in a text message he's signing with New Orleans when his 10-day contract expires with Chicago after today.
— Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) March 11, 2013
Amundson started the season with the Timberwolves but they let him go. He has not cracked the rotation in Chicago, to say the least. He has played two minutes in one game for the Bulls. He likely feels like he has a better chance of getting on the court in New Orleans, where the team is a little more in flux and not playoff bound.

- 00maltliquor - Mar 12, 2013 at 1:44 AM
Play when, in practice? Arguably the teams 2 best players (Davis, Anderson) both play his position.
Does anyone else find this odd that someone is talking about playing elsewhere while still playing for another team? And isn't it illegal for other teams to contact agents while their client is still under contract, or are 10-day contract guys different?
- genericcommenter - Mar 12, 2013 at 10:30 AM
Typical marginal pale athlete- going for the playing time and personal stats over being a member of a winning team.

It's not like he's winning a ring either way. He may as well get some tape out there if he thinks he can still play.

Ms. Chase was going to get some kind of satisfaction one way or another. Tyler popped out her giant tits and went to town on them. Brooklyn and her big boss tits gave Tyler a bonus job we all wish we could get. Tyler made sure he worked over her perfect body. Brooklyn got so horny from fucking him.

As a New Jersey native and self-confessed reality TV junkie, I enjoy watching the television show Jersey Shore, and recognizing some of the local vocabulary – terms like benny (a non-local who comes down to the Shore, usually used in a pejorative sense) and youse (an informal plural of 'you').

The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Can Kazakhstan become a world power?
01 Aug 2013 03:05 GMT
President Barack Obama's national security has team acknowledged for the first time that it has the ability to read the phone records of millions of Americans while looking for just one terrorism suspect.
Appearing before the Senate judiciary committee, John Inglis, the NSA's deputy director, conceded that his agents can track the telephone activities of millions of Americans while searching for one terrorism suspect, but said that agents "try to be judicious" in their searches.
The Obama administration has previously stated that such records are rarely searched and, when they are, officials target only suspected foreign terrorists.
The searches described to the judiciary committee hinge on the "chain" analysis of information gathered on telephone communications. When the NSA identifies a suspect, it can look not just at their phone records, but also the records of everyone they call, everyone who calls those people and everyone who calls those people.
If the average person called 40 people, the analysis would allow the government to mine the records of 2.5 million Americans when investigating one suspect. The NSA conducted 300 such searches last year.
The Democratic senator, Dick Durbin, said: "So what has been described as a discrete programme, to go after people who would cause us harm, when you look at the reach of this programme, it envelopes a substantial number of Americans."
"We are open to re-evaluating this programme in ways that can perhaps provide greater confidence and public trust that this is in fact a programme that achieves both privacy protections and national security,'' Robert Litt, counsel to the director of National Intelligence, told the judiciary committee.
New leak
The admission came on the same day that fresh information on NSA spying was revealed by the Guardian newspaper.
Citing documents from whistle-blower Edward Snowden, the newspaper published NSA training material for the "XKeyscore" programme, which it described as the NSA's widest-reaching system that covers "nearly everything a typical user does on the Internet".
Intelligence analysts can conduct surveillance through XKeyscore by filling in an on-screen form giving only a "broad justification" for the search, and no review by a court or NSA staff, the newspaper said.
The search could then trawl internet search histories, emails and other personal information of those targeted.
In response to the report, the agency said: "The implication that NSA's collection is arbitrary and unconstrained is false", and added that XKeyscore was part of "NSA's lawful foreign signals intelligence collection system".
Through a prism
Meanwhile, the director of national intelligence released three declassified documents on Wednesday in the "interest of increased transparency". They explained the bulk collection of phone data - one of the secret programmes revealed by Snowden.
Much of what is in the newly declassified documents has already been divulged in public hearings by intelligence officials. The released documents included 2009 and 2011 reports on the NSA's "Bulk Collection Programme", carried out under the US Patriot Act, the anti-terrorism legislation passed shortly after the September 11 attacks.
They also included an April 2013 order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which directed communications company Verizon to hand over data from millions of Americans' telephone calls.

Aside from a handful of US legislators, there's been little Congressional outcry over the leaked surveillance programme.
Obama squares off against politicians ahead of possible vote aimed at slashing NSA funding and limiting surveillance.

"Copyright Law on the Internet is a Total Train Wreck Right Now." By Pamela Vaughan, for the marketing blog Hub Spot.
"It's a perfectly fine Thursday afternoon. I'm going about my business, happily editing a blog post, when I get an email from the head of HubSpot's legal department. Oh boy. Apparently, he'd received a letter from a popular stock photography website claiming we had wrongfully used two of their images on our blog. My first thought was, "What? This must be a mistake."We're very good about only using photos and images we have permission to use on the blog. As a result, we usually either purchase stock photos or use images sourced from sites like Flickr licensed under Creative Commons, which is a nonprofit offering easy-to-use copyright licenses that make it easy for people to give permission for others to share and use their creative work. In fact, we've even written about how not to steal people's content on the web, and what to do if you're a victim of stolen content. So ... what gives?"
"The Known Danger: 10 Westerns That Aren't Racist Toward Native Americans." By Jake Cole, for Film.com, a list of Westerns that demonstrate advanced or at least reasonably fair-minded attitudes about Native Americans. The Outlaw Josey Wales strikes us as a conspicuous omission, and no doubt you'll have your own. But all in all, this is quite a good list.
"Released more than a decade before Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece 'Blood Meridian,' 'Ulzana's Raid' nevertheless feels closer to that book's spirit than any Western made since. In sharp contrast to the "hippie-fication" of Indians with movies like 'Little Big Man,' Robert Aldrich's late Western depicts its white characters as brutal—one Cavalry soldier 'rescues' a white woman from Apache by shooting her in the head, and in his terror he kills himself rather than be taken—but its Apache no less so. Ulzana (Joaquín Martinez) and his men rape and slaughter, albeit with a head for strategy that counters stereotypes of mindless savagery. Their actions are not those of Godless brutes who simply act out their nature, but of cunning warriors who know how to demoralize the enemy. In the film's estimation, the war between whites and natives is completely removed from those fighting it, but that only makes the possibility of peace less likely. No one among the groups of soldiers and Apache started this war, but none has the agency to do anything but try and kill as many on the other side as possible."
"The Day the Lone Ranger Lost His Mask." By David Krell, for his blog. Return with us now to those faintly depressing days of yesterday, when Clayton Moore, star of the 1950s TV version of The Lone Ranger, tried to dress like the Masked Man at public appearances, and got sued. Really, really, really sued. Also screwed, blued and tattooed.
"He appeared as the Lone Ranger at car dealerships, shopping malls, and other businesses that hired him to help sell products. With his Lone Ranger persona complete with guns, hat, mask, and costume, Moore brought Hollywood to the heartland of America. No matter the event, people flocked to see the Lone Ranger. Millions of Baby Boomers idolized Moore. They now had children of their own whom they brought to his appearances for a glimpse of their childhood icon. The formula was simple, really. Show up in the Lone Ranger costume featuring the iconic mask, say a few words about the client's product or service along with a citation of clean living from the Lone Ranger Creed, and ride off into the sunset of Omaha. Or Charlotte. Or Columbus. Or any other mid-size metropolis looking for a wistful glimpse of yesteryear for excitement. Have six gun, will travel, But on this late August morning, Moore's Lone Ranger persona was at risk of evaporating because of legal maneuvering by Wrather Corporation, owner of the Lone Ranger franchise. According to Wrather, Moore benefited from a property that he legally did not own. In short, Moore's continued appearances jeopardized Wrather's plans for a new Lone Ranger to be introduced in a blockbuster film."
"The Pixar Perspective on Context and Pixar's Originality." By Josh Spiegel, for The Pixar Times. Wherein the writer looks at recent article alleging that Pixar's movies ain't what they used to be, and finds the arguments unconvincing.
"It's not wrong to say that Pixar's films are typically well-liked by critics. It's not wrong to say that Pixar's films are all, to varying degrees, financially successful. Even Cars 2, the closest thing Pixar has had recently to a flop, grossed more than most animated films at rival studios like Blue Sky or DreamWorks Animation. The issue is that trying to create a connection between critical praise and box office only works if you ignore, as Zeitchik did, the examples that fall in between the extremes. Yes,Cars 2 is Pixar's least successful and well-liked film. And yes, pretty much everyone loves the Toy Story movies. But that's the point: everyone (for the most part) loves the trilogy. Would people have avoided seeing Toy Story 3 on its opening weekend if it didn't get bathed in critical praise? No, though perhaps the film's overall take would've been lower. Or maybe people would've seen it in droves either way. This is the vexing part about hypothetical arguments: we can wonder all we like, but we'll never know for sure, and when your argument revolves around factual statistics, you need to be sure."
"One Month Later: Catching Up With RogerEbert.com Editor-in-Chief Matt Zoller Seitz." By Kurt Oselund, for The House Next Door.
"I've been a journalist for over 22 years, and this poses a unique set of challenges in that I have every skill that I need to do this job, but I'm not Roger. And I think that's something that everyone is having to get accustomed to. It's interesting—the response has been mostly very, very pleasant among regulars on the site, and then there are some people who don't like me, and don't like what I do. Whether that's a reaction to the work itself or simply to the fact that I'm not Roger is a question that I can't answer, and I don't really know who should even try to answer it. But, you know, this is the way of human experience. Roger was a beloved man, and if it hadn't been me, it would have been somebody else, and it's very likely they would have encountered exactly the same issues. Someone that a lot of people loved very much is gone. We're never going to collectively get over that."

October 22, 2014 - I love, love, love my new shirt! Two things you should note when ordering this product: you may need to wear an undershirt with it and order it in a larger size than you are normally used to. I normally wear a XL, but had someone measure me and matched the measurements up to the sizing chart listed, and it turns out that I needed to order an 3XL. It fits perfectly! The arrival time was fast and perfect!
August 1, 2014 - I bought this for my Autistic grown daughter. She struggles with her disorder daily and I thought this was a nice and unique way to help her see that she is not alone. I can not wait to give it to her on her birthday in a month or two I just know she will love it as much as I do.
June 17, 2014 - This shirt fits very well and has soft material that feels good. I love the bright colors and unique design on this shirt. I highly recommend buying this.
November 4, 2013 - I like this Rhinestone tee. I'm glad that I ordered one size up from the size that I normally am. I usually wear a size large. But, for this shirt I ordered an extra large and it fits well. I don't think these shirts are very true to size. But they do stretch. If you are ordering this shirt I would suggest one size up.
July 13, 2013 - LOVE my shirt! Great brand name and detailing on shirt. Long and fitted!

DEFINITION of 'Fixing'
The practice of arbitrarily setting the price of a good or commodity. Fixing represents a refusal to allow the forces of a free market to determine the price of the good. It can be either legal or illegal depending upon who mandates the fix, such as the government or a group of merchants. Although, "fixing" usually refers to "price fixing," it can be applied to input costs or fixing supply. For example, governments can mandate the quantity goods produced in a region.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Fixing'
Fixing can take many forms. OPEC artificially quadrupled the price of oil in the 1970s and effectively cut off its supply to much of the western world. Cartels are formed for the purpose of fixing the price of one or more of the goods that they produce, such as oil or other commodities. Capitalist governments also fix the prices of certain goods to promote smaller companies to enter the industry.

BT angers customers by moving the evening
BT has angered customers by changing the time when free evening calls can be made.
Paper cut: Letters from BT have been sent out
From April, the phone and broadband provider is pushing back the time its customers will be able to make free evening calls, from 6pm to 7pm.
Although the change only involves a move of one hour, it is unlikely to go down well with BT's 10 million customers who have signed up for a package that includes free evening and weekend calls.
BT has sent out letters to customers advising them of the changes, however, customers have complained the contract changes were on the reverse of the letter.
One disgruntled customer has set up a group on social networking site Facebook to protest about the changes.
And This is Money has been contacted by readers who have received the letter from BT and are infuriated by the changes.
One reader, Mr Talbot, from Worcestershire said: 'BT have no interest in their customers, the announcement was completely underhand. They act like a dictatorship, and its going to infuriate millions of customers.'
'I'm not happy with what BT is doing and am now seriously considering changing my provider.'
A spokesperson for BT said: 'BT has written directly to all customers informing them about the change in daytime hours from 6pm-6am to 7pm-7am. The same letter or email offers customers a way to avoid the effect of these changes by switching to our Anytime calls plan, which is offered with three months free at the moment.'
'The new times bring BT into line with the mobile operators' definition of daytime. Although 6pm is a busy time for short, organisational calls, the peak hour to settle down for a longer chat is between 8pm-9pm.'
'If customers feel the new times will not suit their calling patterns, we would be happy to discuss whether they would be better off on one of our inclusive calling packages, which customers are increasingly favouring.'
If you're worried about the new changes, have a look at some of our answers below, to help you keep on top of your phone bill:
Will I be affected by the new changes?
Those who will be most affected by the changes are BT's 4.7m customers on the 'Evening & Weekend' price plan, who can currently make free calls to landlines after 6pm on weekdays. Customers who are on BT's 'Weekend' price plan will also be hit by the new move.
Only those on the Anytime package will be unaffected by the change. All other calls made during the change will be charged at the evening rate and will affect all call types, including calls to mobiles, international numbers and 0870 numbers.
Can BT make such changes, without informing customers more clearly?
Technically, BT had made note of the changes, despite it being printed in tiny writing and, some suggest buried, on the back page of its notice letter. Therefore, by law the phone company has done nothing wrong.
BT is also contractually within their rights to change its call plans and prices.
Are there any other hidden charges?
BT is also raising the call set-up fee for non-inclusive calls (those you have to pay for outside your free plan calls) from 9.3p to 9.9p a call, while the cost of calls made during the daytime will increase from 5.4p a minute to 5.9p a minute.
These charge changes also take place in April and will not apply to BT Basic, Light User Scheme and In-Contact Plus customers
How badly will my bill be affected?
If you do not change your call plan, you may see an increase in your bill. Under the new terms, any call made in April from 6pm, could cost you up to £1.28 per day. This equates to around £80 per quarter, although it is hihgly unlikely many customers would actually incur such a large cost.
However, BT has announced that around the same time it will be changing its terms and conditions, it will also be offering customers an alternative tariff, set to reduce the extra cost to about £15 a quarter.
Is it better to switch to another phone operator?
Getting your phone tariff right is complicated. The best thing to do is to go online and compare prices with a comparison website like our Home Phone finder to get the best price.
BT has advertised itself on the number of cutomers that have returned from other operators. Last year, however, almost one million BT customers switched to other phone operators after the company raised its charges twice in 12 months. Call costs rose in April and again in October, making them 34% more expensive than they had been at the beginning of the year for 12 million of BT's then 14 million users.
Would it be easy to get out of my BT contract?
Yes. If you are unhappy with the change then you will be allowed to leave, without being asked for lots of evidence about how you will suffer from the change.
Be aware that BT may do its best to persuade you to keep your contract by making you a new offer. However, if you are unhappy with their services, you should be able to leave without any hassle.
Who do I call to terminate my BT contract?
Simply call BT's customer service number on: 0800 800 150
