CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA – 12 Jul, 2017 – Rublix is a unique platform designed to eliminate the most common risks and issues in the world of decentralized markets. By providing a layer of transparency while building an elite community of backers, Rublix seeks to grow trust in newcomers who may be intimidated by the volatile nature of the crypto market.
Rublix offers several state-of-the-art tools to help investors tap the full potential of crypto currencies. One of these tools, called Hedge, fosters an atmosphere of trust among investors by rewarding them for offering credible investment tips. This tool fills a need in the crypto market for trustworthy financial advice. As the Rublix team says: "Trust is the most important factor when doing profitable investments. These days we have these supposedly credible Analysts giving their opinions which should be taken with a grain of salt. Big time investment firms these days will set you up with so called 'financial advisors' who have studied a one-month online course and likely don't even know anything about true investing." An advanced algorithm powers a recommendation system that gives awards to those who contribute profitable advice.
Another helpful tool, Centurio, provides real-time conversion to any currency along with an efficient CPU mining system. The system shows clients the conversion of any foreign exchange or, crypto dollar to RBLX, making it easier for them to calculate how much they need to send. It is compatible with Windows-based systems and makes it easy for users to contribute to the Rublix ecosystem through mining.
TradersEdge, a powerfully efficient web-based trading platform, serves as a valuable gateway to the crypto community. As coin adoption constantly evolves, it can be difficult for new and seasoned traders to keep up. This powerful tool makes the crypto market more inviting to newbies so that they too can take full advantage of bringing their trading into this fast-growing community.
Although blockchain technology has been around for years, it is still considered revolutionary. Very few in the crypto community use this technology to its full potential. The decentralized market has a $100 billion market cap, and thus has lots more room to grow.
This technology offers a host of benefits to users. Lower exchange fees facilitate trading among large cap cryptos on the market. An advanced block explorer shows and logs realtime transaction data. And asset management makes participation in the decentralized market more appealing to newcomers.
The Rublix platform was built by some of the best designers and coders in the world. The team is still working on bringing their vision to life, and posted the following recent update on their blog: "The road ahead although long, is looking very bright. Our small team has put well over 3000 hours into the current state of our projects since late 2016 and we are happy to see all the feedback from the community."

This week we began by looking at some Brice Marden drawings. After looking at the way that he broke up the rectangle, we created our own studies where we broke up a rectangle using 9 lines, and then broke up another rectangle using 23 lines.
After completing these studies, we gessoed an 18″ x 24″ piece of paper. As we waited for the Gesso to dry, we spent some time in the galleries studying the Diebenkorn works currently on view. We chose two paintings to draw from, and focused on line pressure. We used light pressure to depict the "ghost image lines" where Diebenkorn had painted over original drawings, and thicker lines to depict the outlines that remained clearly visible.
When we returned to the classroom our Gessoed paper was dry, so we redrew our 9 line drawing on the large paper. Using our color studies from last week as a guide, we began mixing acrylic paint to create our color palette. Next week we will continue to work on these paintings.

Mention Formula 1 to anybody and one of the first names that springs to mind is Ferrari. The Italian car firm has been involved with the motorsport organisation since its inception in 1950 and in Grand Prix since 1929 (initially under the Alfa Romeo name). It is also the most successful team, with 15 drivers' and 16 constructors' championships.
So where better to have an initial listen to and play with the new Ferrari by Logic3 premium headphones than at Silverstone, on the eve of the British Grand Prix 2012? And in Ferrari's own F1 motorhome, where the team and the drivers work and relax, no less.
The Ferrari by Logic3 P200 headset is designed very much with motorsport in mind. It comes from the Scuderia Ferrari collection - which covers the sports aspect of the car company, rather than its GT roadcars - and the P200 headphones are aesthically as close to the much-loved race cars as can be.
The design of the P200 cans is also clearly influenced by the headsets worn by the pit crew on race days, so are steeped in the heritage of the sport in more than one way. And we like. We like a lot.
Although robust, the chassis is actually lighter in the hand than you might think - which is good news if you want to wear them for a prolonged period.
The earpieces themselves are sort-of a floating design, as they don't directly hook up to the headband. Instead, they are supported by struts either side and connected to the main headphone through one fabric-covered wire.
These are passive headphones. There's no noise cancellation to be found and, therefore, they don't require power. Nor do they fold. There are other headsets in Logic3's Ferrari range that do (and others coming with ANC), but the P200s are specifically meant to be ostentatious and bold. In looks and sound.
In that, each earpiece contains a 50mm driver with an open back design and vented enclosure. This allows for a slight emphasis on bass, and they have been tuned as such. That's not to say, from our listen, the P200 headset is the equivalent to Beats Studio HD by Dr Dre, for example.
In street headphone terms, the P200s are more-than suitable for hip-hop and R&B, but with enough control over higher frequencies to avoid ruining non-bass-heavy tracks.
We tried them out with some choice lossless clips from The Who (1960s stuff mainly) and Seattle band The Head and The Heart (who are great for listening tests, thanks to excellent vocal harmony work), and both were delivered excellently from our initial test - with meat and muscle, but retaining clarity. On the former tracks, it was great to hear John Entwistle's superbly detailed bass notes punching through without being drowned by Keith Moon's insanely brilliant drumming exploits.
You can also reach uncomfortable volumes without distortion. Although, it must be said that, because of the open back design, many of your fellow Tube passengers may also be taken along for the ride if you're not responsible with your controls. Several Ferrari employees were amused by our song choices, we'll leave it at that.
As well as plastics, the Ferrari by Logic3 P200 headphones are crafted in soft and comfotable "breathable materials" with carbon fibre flourishes. The arms are machine-crafted metal and the carry case they come in also features the same carbon fibre design.
Three cables are included: one with an iPhone-specific in-line microphone, one with a one-button mic for just about every other smartphone, and one without the in-line controls. There are also adapters for Airline and 6.3mm hi-fi sockets. The cables are woven fabric to avoid tangling.
The headphones are available in two colours, traditional Ferrari red and black, and will cost £199 when they hit shops soon. We'll bring you more news on availability when we get it.
Logic3 has been working with the Ferrari team for the past couple of years on its premium range of headsets and earbuds and you can tell why. The P200 cans drip with Scuderia Ferrari DNA and we expect that, out of the entire line-up, these will be the most popular - certainly amongst motorsports enthusiasts.
And that includes the team's drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa. They were most keen to try them out at Silverstone too.
What do you think of Logic3's Ferrari tie-in? Are these the sort of headphones you'd use? Let us know in the comments below...

"NO!" Following the Fukushima disaster, and after a series of scandals and malfunctions at the country's nuclear plants, public opposition against nuclear energy in South Korea has dramatically increased. Last year alone, the country faced malfunctions at 16 nuclear plants. Here Samcheok villagers rally in opposition to a planned nuclear power plant in their community, 192km from Seoul. Millions of Koreans who live within the 30 kilometer radius of nuclear power plants are at risk from a nuclear accident.

The ingredients for a perfect, autumn walk: a slight nip in the air, the far off scent of burning leaves and your family doctor.
The ingredients for a perfect, autumn walk: a slight nip in the air, the far off scent of burning leaves and your family doctor.
That�s the case, at least, for the City of Jacksonville and the Onslow County Parks and Recreation Department. This autumn, and into the next year, they are sponsoring Walk with a Doc.
Walk with a Doc is a national program that encourages members of the community to go for a walk around town with a local physician, not only for exercise, but to learn about ways to stay healthy. There is Walk with a Doc programs in 24 States, the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Alberta, Australia and Moscow, Russia. Last month, Jacksonville added its name to the list of cities and towns participating in the program with a walk along the New River Waterfront Park. The walk was led by Josephine Malfitano, a nurse practitioner representing Dr. Swetang M. Patel.
�It was an incredible opportunity to share information in a comfortable environment,� said Malifitano.
The subject of Malifitano�s walk and talk was Cholesterol, a hot button issue in North Carolina health. According to the United Health Foundation, 38.5 percent of adults in the state are reported to have high cholesterol and 65.7 percent are obese or overweight. North Carolina is currently one of 11 states that make up �The Stroke Belt� due to the high rate of adults with high cholesterol.
�Obesity is a major problem,� said Patel. �Even an early age, obese people will have a problem with high cholesterol.�
Malifitano said the walk gave her the opportunity to have a casual question and answer session with members of the community, which she credits in part to the organizers of the event, which posted markers along the mile long path in the town�s lower Downtown area.
�The people there were very engaged and the event was well organized,� said Malifitano. �Walking is important for cholesterol reduction, so it was a win-win for sure.�
One of the organizers of series is Kelley Marcaccio, Recreation Coordinator, has previous experience with the program while working for Parks and Recreation in a Detroit suburb. Marcaccio said the program was successful, though she and the other organizers in Onslow County put their own spin on the program.
�One thing I noticed (in Michigan) is that the doctors would talk and lecture to people in a room, and then they�d walk,� said Marcaccio. �We wanted to incorporate the doctor throughout the walk, so we stop at designated areas to talk about certain topics.
�We also wanted to attract different age groups, not just retirees, to the walk, so we�re incorporating a lot of different topics, from high cholesterol to physical fitness.�
Leading October�s walk is Dr. Randy Blackburn, whose specialty is in radiation oncology. Blackburn, who enjoys outdoor activities, including golfing and skiing, and talking about his specialty, cancer treatment, said accepting the offer to be a part of the program was a no brainer.
�I always love to talk about how we can treat (cancer) effectively,� said Blackburn. �A lot of cancers are curable. We just have to stop and take the time to get screened and get the treatment.�
Like Malifitano and Patel, Blackburn said regular exercise, even a leisurely walk in the park, can go a long way in preventing life shortening conditions as it helps keep the immune system stable, which is the most effective way to fight cancer from spreading. Blackburn also said he wants to give back to those fighting cancer by making sure others know how to prevent it or how to fight it effectively.
�(Cancer patients) are always doing things for everyone else and they last person they think about are themselves,� said Blackburn. �This is something to give back to people so they�ll understand what they can do to fight this disease and get screened. Cancer patients that exist today would recommend it so they can get the word out any way they can.�
Christopher Thomas is a staff writer for the Jacksonville Daily News. To contact him, call 910-219-8473 or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Cattle prices in dollars per hundredweight (cwt.) except some replacement animals per pair or head as indicated.
(Federal-State Market News)
Oklahoma City-Des Moines
Jan. 24
Compared to Jan. 17: Slaughter cattle trade posted new record highs again this week with live cattle in the South Plains trading $5-6 higher. Dressed basis steers and heifers in Nebraska were up an astonishing $11 to $13. Boxed beef prices Jan. 24 morning averaged $237.75 up $7.24. The Choice/Select spread is at $1.05. Slaughter cattle on a national basis for negotiated cash trades through Jan. 24 totaled about 120,128 head. The previous week's total head count was 113,135 head.
Midwest Direct Markets: Live Basis: Steers and Heifers 35-80 Percent Choice, 1200-1400 lbs. $148-150.50 Dressed Basis: Steers and Heifers: $239-241 mostly $240.
South Plains Direct Markets: Live Basis: Steers and Heifers 35-65 percent Choice, 1100-1400 lbs. $147-148
Slaughter Cows and Bulls (Average Yielding Prices): Slaughter cows steady to $1 higher with exception of Southeast region selling $3-4 lower. Slaughter bulls sold steady to firm. USDA's Cutter cow carcass cut-out value Jan. 24 was $174.78 up $.61 from Jan. 17.

393,000 597,900 255,100
Compared to Jan. 17: Feeder cattle and calves weighing over 600 lbs. sold steady to $2 lower as price levels for feeding-type cattle have started to level off following the wild run-up to start the year. Lightweight calves were not yet ready to give up the bull market and sold firm to $4 higher.
Auction receipts have been heavy the past two weeks but should lighten at a fast enough pace to keep price levels from plunging off record highs.
The Oklahoma National Stockyards had 15,000 head on Jan. 20, while Joplin Regional Stockyards boasted over 14,000. Many other Midwestern salebarns were also testing the limits of their pen space; however, most yearlings and large reputation calf strings are now gone and the number of pee-wee calves on offer was extremely large for this time of year. Also, a large percentage of feeder sales in the Southern Plains were off wheat, which all spells that offerings will be slim pickings this spring.
The Burwell, Neb., Livestock Market had 444 head of top quality 5 weight steers Jan. 17 that averaged 555 lbs. at $224.50. On Jan. 23, Ogallala, Neb., sold two loads of fancy 702 lb. steers at $190. Fed cattle markets made monstrous gains again this week with feedlots selling short showlists $5-7 higher from $147-150.
The direct slaughter cattle market has actually gained $17-20 since right before Christmas when prices were sitting near $130, a record high at the time. Northern dressed steer and heifer markets have gained $33 in that time to end this past week at $240. Finished cattle markets have obtained this remarkable feat with very little trading leverage by the feeding industry.
Total 2013 sales volume in the 5 Area cattle feeding region was only 24.1 percent by negotiated cash, while the balance was some sort of formula or contract method. Texas feedlots haggled on just over 6 percent of their total sales, a figure that has fell by more than 40 percentage points in the last eight years. Sunflower state feeders sold 21 percent on a negotiated cash market last year while Nebraska traded 36.4 on the spot market and Iowa farmer-feeders drove the hardest bargain at 54.6 percent of total volume.
Boxed beef cut-out values established their new pinnacle on Jan. 22 afternoon with Choice boxes closing at $240.05 and packers reportedly still in the black. Cattle feeders are finally making some good money on their closeouts, which is imperative for backgrounders and cow/calf producers to continue being successful. When today's finished cattle were purchased as feeders, it was estimated that it would take a record-breaking market of $130 for them to breakeven. With feed costs plunging since harvest many of the week's closeouts are showing $250-300 per head profits, not taking into account risk management expense.
The cattle-on-feed report could be construed as slightly bearish with Jan. 1 inventories 94.6 percent of the same time last year, while placements were 1 percent more than a year ago and marketings were 99.5 percent of 2013. The week's reported auction volume included 52 percent over 600 lbs. and 39 percent heifers.

A fire idling one of the largest NW meatpackers this week has slowed the movement of market ready slaughter cattle out of the feedlots. Demand remains good.

Usually the venerable web cam is used for modest, local tasks, like taking deep-in-thought Facebook profile pics, making me-too webcasts, or undercover girl's locker room documentaries. But did you know there's also a web cam circling the Red Planet right now? Called the Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC), the cam is attached to the European Space Agency's Mars Express, and was last used to visually confirm the Beagle lander's separation from the main spacecraft. It was then put into sleep mode, and has been in that state for the past three years. Bo-ring. The ESA folks thought so too, and on a whim they gave the command to wake up back in 2007. It did, and now they want your help processing a year's worth of images.
Says the ESA:
Open invitation for image feedback:: You can assist the Mars Express team with additional processing of the raw image data files as well as interpretation: What do you see? What part of the Mars surface is being shown? Can you identify any geographical features? What regions of the atmosphere or atmospheric components do you see?
Keep in mind these images are what they're calling "tourist quality" (i.e. non-scientific), so they aren't going to be used in any major studies or experiments anytime soon. They are, however, perfect for Mars enthusiasts and weather-watchers. And who knows, maybe you'll be lucky enough to use this web cam to spot a careless Martian doing something they can't take back.

The hand tied hair wefts extensions are usually significantly smaller or slimmer than the "normal" machine made hair wefts extensions.

Additionally reduced bulkiness permits a more natural free-flowing solution. It can provide a lot more natural appearing body and volume as well.

Young Living is committed to providing pure, powerful products for every family and lifestyle, all infused with the life-changing benefits of essential oils.
The Best Essential Oils On The Planet
Young Living's community of wellness started small in 1993, when D. Gary Young and Mary Young developed their first organic herb farming and distillation operation. At the time, Gary Young had already discovered the incredible power of essential oils, but because the quality of available oils varied so greatly, he'd been unable to fully harness their potential. Mary's previous experience in the direct-selling industry enabled the Youngs to fulfill their vision and establish a business that would empower its members to share truly pure essential oils with the world.
Through Gary and Mary's combined leadership, Young Living has grown to become the world leader in essential oils and wellness solutions. Headquartered in Lehi, Utah, with offices in Australia, Europe, Canada, Japan, and Singapore, as well as farms around the world, Young Living stays true to the Youngs' original vision. With Young Living's steadfast commitment to essential oil purity, they have inspired millions of people everywhere to experience nature's gifts of wellness, to create abundance as Young Living members, and to discover new opportunities for lifelong transformations.

West Craven Park, across the street from West Craven High School, was flooded with prep footballers Wednesday morning.
VANCEBORO � West Craven Park, across the street from West Craven High School, was flooded with prep footballers Wednesday morning.
The West Craven Eagles hosted a round-robin style passing league with New Bern, Jacksonville and Eastern Wayne.
�My main things with passing leagues are two things only � competing and conditioning,� West Craven coach Matt Riggsbee said. �As long as our receivers and defensive backs are getting reps and conditioning, it�s good for us because this 7-on-7 is as close as we can get in the state of North Carolina to real football in the offseason.�
The Eagles rotated several different guys in on defense and featured Alkeim Harley and rising freshman Darious Abrams at quarterback.
�You can really use 7-on-7s to get timing down with your receivers and quarterbacks. For us, we work out some kinks on defense as well,� Riggsbee said. �A lot of coaches that I have seen run plays in passing leagues that they will never use, but for us, we just work on what we do.�
West Craven played New Bern first, then Jacksonville, before finishing up with Eastern Wayne.
New Bern also rotated different guys in, especially at the quarterback position.
Nick Myers, Syril Smith and Mike Hughes all saw reps in the pocket.
New Bern coach Bobby Curlings said he enjoys having a familiar opponent in passing leagues. He doesn't like to switch things up too much.
�That�s the good thing about our passing league and why we keep working with each other instead of getting in the bigger leagues,� Curlings said. �We can compete and teach at the same time, as to where if you are in the bigger leagues, sometimes things get so intense that you lose a lot of the teaching time.�
New Bern�s coaches are using the summer as somewhat of an audition to fill many holes left by last year�s proficient senior class.
�We�re telling our guys to prove us wrong this summer,� Curlings said. �After last season, we had depth charts based on what we had coming back, but I�ve challenged the guys to prove us wrong. If they feel like they should be higher on the chart, now�s their time to prove it.�
West Craven will see Jacksonville and New Bern during the regular season, while New Bern will see all three opponents this fall.
The Bears open at home with Durham Hillside. West Craven begins the year on the road at Edenton Holmes.

By now, everyone has heard the idea that the printed word may be on its way out. Bookstores are closing, magazines are shutting down, and even textbooks are going digital.
At the Addison Public Library, we're not so sure that there's no room in the world for paper and ink – our circulation statistics speak to the fact that there is plenty of demand for books, magazines and newspapers in Addison. When we polled more than 200 library patrons over the course of a few days last month, about 90 percent reported that they enjoyed reading print material.
But we're also happy to embrace the sort of technology that many might think would leave us trembling in fear. The fact that e-books, websites, podcasts and other digital media are becoming increasingly popular actually excites us – we can't wait to get in on the action! One-third of our survey respondents agree, and more will surely follow suit.
We've already been offering e-books for some time, and they're getting more and more popular. Why wouldn't they be? You can check out a book from home – or from halfway around the world – and instead of racking up overdue fines, they check themselves in when they're due!
Anyone with a tablet or even a computer can come to the library and let us show them how to get started; the same goes with our downloadable audiobooks. Only a few devices won't work with our system.
We're excited to have recently added magazines to our digital collection. Zinio, the digital magazine app, lets users peruse the pages of many of the most popular magazines for free and from anywhere.
Not content merely consuming digital media? We soon will be the place to go create it as well. Construction of our digital media lab is almost finished; patrons soon will be able to enhance old photos, use professional graphic and video software and even borrow a green screen to make movies.
Not sure how to get started? The library always offers computer classes; this spring, we'll talk about downloading from our collection, using Twitter and shooting digital photos.
We know that many residents of Addison come to us for books and nothing but. And all of us here feel the same way: The library should be a home for books. But we're so much more than that, too! Anyone who hasn't used any of our technological resources should come try us out.
John Kokoris is the public relations coordinator for the Addison Public Library. For information about the library, at 4 1 Friendship Plaza, visit addisonlibrary.org or call 630-543-3617

Facebook appears to have fixed its Europe problem, and may be on the way to solving its thorny Russian issue too.Back in October, we told you that Facebook's user growth was slowing in Europe, and that its revenue in the region had been in decline since 2011.
The main culprit was Russia, where citizens have opted for a Facebook clone, vKontakte, over Facebook because it offers a lot of free pirated movies in addition to the usual friend lists and photo sharing.
But as this map of the world's social networks shows, the whole world is turning Facebook blue. Facebook has Russia and China surrounded, and there are only five social networks left.
Since last fall, three things happened:
- CEO Mark Zuckerberg took a trip to Russia and met with PM Dmitri Medvedev. He even wore a suit and tie, something he doesn't do for Americans.
- Facebook moved Carolyn Everson, its global marketing solutions chief, to London to develop clients there.
- Ad sales management in London was given a reshuffle under her.
In Facebook's Q4 earnings, it seems Facebook's maneuvers — which, presumably, were not limited to those three events — have worked. Here's the data:

The House voted Wednesday 264-158 to delay the analog TV shutdown until June 12.
The nation was two weeks away from the original date of Feb. 17 for the digital transition, allowing broadcasters to replace analog TV signals with digital ones.
But the Obama administration and many Democrats asked for the delay, saying millions of people are not ready for the switch. The bill, already approved by the Senate, now goes to the president for his approval, considered a given. Still to be resolved is the funding needed for more coupons to help consumers offset the cost of converter boxes. That issue will likely be considered as part of the economic stimulus legislation.
"The legislation passed by Congress provides more time for Americans to prepare for the (digital) transition and will allow more time for the government to fix the coupon program," said David Rehron, president of the National Association of Broadcasters.
"It is unfortunate that Congress had to take additional action on this issue, but the prospect of leaving millions of consumers in the dark was simply unacceptable," said Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., and a member of the House Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Communications, Technology and the Internet.
Opponents of the delay said it will cause confusion for consumers, and that it is not fair to the wireless companies, including AT&T and Verizon Wireless, as well as public safety agencies that are waiting to use part of the airwave spectrum that will go to them once the switch is made.
The Consumer Electronics Association, an industry trade group, expressed dismay about the decision and concern that the extension could lead to a shortage of converter boxes "because manufacturers and retailers planned box inventory based on a Feb. 17 transition date," said CEA president Gary Shapiro.
Planning started in 2005
With a nation in economic turmoil, it seems the last thing on the to-do list of legislators should have been the transition to digital television. The changeover has been planned since 2005, but the last 12 months were marked by public confusion about the switch and bureaucratic and political wrangling over a coupon program aimed at subsidizing the cost of converter boxes.
Yet the signs of trouble were there: the coupon subsidy program was running out of money, waiting lists were growing, and not enough public education in general was being done about the transition, the coupon program or how to hook up the converter boxes, which some have found troublesome.
"When government took their hands off the steering wheel of public education, a lot of confusion crept into the marketplace," said Joel Kelsey, policy analyst for Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports.
The Federal Communications Commission and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration might dispute that, pointing to what the agencies see as extensive education efforts, supplanted by those from private industry groups like the Consumer Electronics Association and the National Association of Broadcasters.
The NAB, for example, started its educational campaign in November 2006, according to Shermaze Ingram of the organization.
Still, yesterday, acting FCC chairman Michael Copps said in a statement that "It has long been clear to me — and it's even clearer since I became acting FCC chairman two weeks ago — that the country is not prepared to undertake a nationwide transition in 12 days without unacceptably high consumer dislocation."
Misconceptions continue
Some of the problem has to do with misconceptions about digital TV itself. As late as October, 41 percent of Americans "believed every single TV needs to be a digital TV in order to get a signal," said Kelsey, citing a Consumers Union poll.
"About 25 percent believe that every television, whether it's digital or not, whether it's hooked up to cable or not, has to have a converter box. And 21 percent believe everyone needs to sign up for cable or satellite service in order to keep a picture on their television sets. Consumers remain extremely confused."
TVs do not have to be digital, but they do need to be able receive digital broadcasts. The main ways to do that are by buying a converter box to take a TV's signal from analog to digital, and using an antenna as well; subscribing to a cable or satellite service; or buying a digital TV.
The Nielsen Co. said recently that while 85 percent of households are ready for the digital transition, nearly 6 percent are not at all, and another 9 percent are "partially ready."
"Partially ready" means "you may have four TV sets in the house, and three are connected to cable and one is an analog set that isn't," said Anne Elliot of the Nielsen Co. "It means at least one working TV set in the household would not be able to get a digital signal." That set could be one that is "used in the kids' bedroom to watch DVDs," for example, she said.
Some have moved to new TVs
A year ago, the digital transition was reason enough for many to justify signing up for cable or satellite service or to buy a new TV. At the end of 2007, more than 50 percent of American households owned a digital television, according to the Consumer Electronics Association.
In February 2008, the NTIA started making available two $40 coupons per household to help offset the cost of two converter boxes, which range from $50 to $80 each.
The coupons are only good for 90 days, and that, too, became part of the problem early on. If consumers were requesting the coupons, many weren't redeeming them. By mid-April, for example, nearly 11 million coupons had been requested, with more than 500,000 of them redeemed, said Todd Sedmak, NTIA communications director.
In the first half of last year, there were limited choices of converter boxes on the market. And some consumers may have set aside the coupons and forgotten about them.
21.7 million coupons redeemed
During the summer, when more converter boxes went on store shelves, efforts to extend the 90-day expiration date were rejected by Congress.
At the end of the year, the NTIA said the $1.34 billion funding ceiling for the coupon program was about to be reached. As of last week, more than 47 million coupons had been mailed out since the program began, and 21.7 million coupons have been redeemed, while more than 14 million of them expired. Meanwhile, more than 3 million people are on a waiting list for the coupons.
The way in which the coupons are redeemed has also been an issue. Brick-and-mortar retailers like Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Radio Shack require in-store redemption, while some of the better converter box deals — including those for the cost of a coupon — can be found online.
"We think retailers need to have cheaper options available, and not just boxes for between $50 to $80," said Kelsey. "With a $40 coupon, that's still a relatively significant cost for someone who once got something — television transmission — for free."
And like many things technological, setting up the boxes has not been a snap for everyone.
"It's about as easy to setup a converter box as it is to set up a VCR," said Kelsey. "That said, it's not easy for everyone. So if you're not used to this, or you're not technically inclined, a lot of folks are wondering what to do and how to hook it up."
Once the boxes are connected, getting a signal can still be a problem and an antenna may be needed. There's no subsidy program for antennae, and some can be expensive.
More time for preparation
Chris Traver of Gresham, Ore., who had an analog set, decided to forego the converter box option and to buy a new TV earlier this year. Philosophically, he's opposed to the converter box subsidies.
"We don't need the financial assistance and I do not support the government-sponsored program," he said. "I do not believe it is the government's responsibility to help pay for my choice in using television-based entertainment through the coupon program."
A four-month delay to digital TV may not solve everyone's problems, but will at least offer time to provide more consumer education and a chance to get more funding for coupons, says Kelsey.
That's especially important for those most at "risk," such as the poor, disabled and elderly, said Mark Lloyd, an attorney and vice president of the national Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.
"The focus now really should not be on blame, but how we can make sure that Americans get the equipment they need and the assistance they need to be able to move forward," he said.
