Marshall Headphones - 'Major' Over Ear (Black)
" I'm a professional DJ/Producer. In my rider I ask that the venue supply the headphones. So I have at least 100 pairs of headphones, and that's after giving away the majority of them to friends. Not going to bother to run off every pair but I've tried just about every pair out. Just before I was about to play in Stockholm I received a pair of these Marshall Major FX headphones..." --inthere

" A good sounding set of earbuds I bought clearance out at Best Buy a few years back. They have very good sound clarity for the price and form a very good seal. They are also surprisingly durable. I have used these for a few years as my main on the go set and they have lasted through gym use and being pulled on by a growing boy through his toddler years.

" I bought this because it was cheap at that point of time, and I am interested in trying out a balanced armature IEM. Initially, wearing was difficult, and it took quite a while for me to get a proper fitting. Once I got a good fitting, I was blown by the sound.

" I remember getting my first iPod in 2007, the 3rd generation nano. The earbuds that came with it stopped working when I left them in my pocket and washed them, so I ran out to Best Buy and picked up these since they were on sale.

Sweet William
This gorgeous little boy isn't mine, though. William is a Canine Companions for Independence dog being raised by my friend, Jenny. He's the sixth service puppy Jenny has raised for CCI, and he's just about the sweetest, most affectionate, and lovable pup I've ever met. What a personality!
William is 6 months old and Jenny wanted him to gain a little experience being handled by someone other than herself. So the three of us met at the Denver Botanical Gardens (scene of previous awesome outing with my Roo), and Jenny handed me the leash. Wow, I can't tell you how great it felt to have another service pup by my side.
He's just a baby, but a dream to handle. He had a good heel, mostly hanging back in step with me and not much pulling. He's already getting the hang of automatically stopping when his trainer stops walking and he's very good about sitting while being introduced to other people. He's just a great dog. And he has the most fantastic mom.
Jenny Kachnic is the owner of Canine Wellness in Denver, CO. She specializes in canine rehabilitation, natural wellness, behavior training, and end of life decision making. She has a special interest in the health and wellness of senior dogs and is the editor and writer of an upcoming book, Your Dog's Golden Years—Manual for Senior Dog Care.
Jenny and I met through The Grey Muzzle Organization, whose mission is to improve the lives of at-risk senior dogs by providing funding and resources to animal shelters, rescue organizations, sanctuaries, and other nonprofit groups nationwide.
Many thanks to Jenny for sharing sweet William with me!

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stock futures rose Monday as investors looked to potential congressional action to avert more than $600 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled to begin with 2013.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average US:DJH3 rose 22 points, or 0.2%, to 12,799.0 and futures for the Standard & Poor's 500 index US:SPH3 added 4.2 points, or 0.3%, to 1,388.20, while Nasdaq-100 index US:NDH3 futures held flat at 2,586.
What the cliff means for the markets
The U.S. fiscal-cliff deadline draws ever nearer, and there's still no agreement on a plan to close the budget gap. What falling off would mean for markets in the U.S. and other parts of the world.
The Senate convenes at 11 a.m. Eastern to talk about ways of avoiding what could mean increased taxes for nearly all American workers.
On Friday, U.S. equities fell for a fifth consecutive session as President Barack Obama and congressional leaders struggled to find common ground on how to pull up short of the so-called fiscal cliff.
The Senate on Sunday night raced to hammer out a budget deal but failed to come to a final agreement. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said his chamber would meet again 13 hours ahead of the deadline, as the House of Representatives also got ready to convene. See: Senators race to meet fiscal-cliff deadline.
"As we reach the last day before automatic fiscal retrenchment in the U.S., there appears to remain substantial differences between Republicans and Democrats," said Rebecca O'Keeffe, head of investment at Interactive Investor, in emailed comments.
"With the gulf between both parties still wide and the desire to protect their supporters' key interests so ingrained, it is difficult to see how both sides can compromise enough to agree a deal at this point," she said.
Duff & Phelps Corp. US:DUF shares rallied nearly 19% in the premarket, after the provider of valuation services to government, hedge funds and public companies agreed to be acquired by an investor group for about $665.5 million, or $15.55 a share, a 19% premium to Friday's close.
Shares of Bank of America Corp. BAC, -1.56% fell 0.5% in premarket trade. A contributor to the financial-analysis website Seeking Alpha recommended over the weekend that investors buy Citigroup Inc. C, -1.18% and sell Bank of America shares. Read more
U.S. egg-producer Cal-Maine Foods Inc. CALM, +1.41% reported income fell 39% for the second quarter as higher feed costs offset increased egg prices.
Also of note to investors, the HSBC China manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index rose to a final reading of 51.5, the best print since May 2011 and marking an upward revision from the preliminary 50.9 reading.

1942 Jeep Willys MB - Low RiderPosted in Features on May 12, 2014 Comment (0)
Generally speaking, the best way to get your Jeep featured in Jpis to wheel it and be at the right place at the right time. Sending in pictures of your baby in the driveway all flexed out on a forklift might work, but it's doubtful -- you'd need a pretty sweet rig to avoid the digital circular file. Somehow the Willys MB you see before you came to our attention not from on the trail, nor via driveway images emailed to the editor, but rather through a very different manner. Feature Editor Verne Simons was perusing the Internet looking for pictures of cool old Willys pick-ups for inspiration for his big, low project vehicle in this issue ("The Wicked Willys"), when an image of a very different and very cool Flattie (on a trail in Moab) popped up on the old digital Google screen. The photos lead back to an expedition forum, and Verne sent the poster of the images an email asking him to contact us. It turns out that the owner and builder of this lowrider MB on 35s, Brennan Metacalf, a resident of Durango, Colorado, was also a reader and fan of Jp.His inspiration for this Jeep came from our own flatfender projects, i.e., both Editor Christian Hazel's '53 DJ-3A and Verne's '49 CJ-3A. Fast-forward a few months and a few emails and Verne and Brennan had made arrangements to meet up in Moab during Easter Jeep Safari for a little wheeling and maybe even a little photography. Since photos speak a thousand words, follow along as we show you the highlights of this well thought out and functional lowrider Jeep.
Brennan, an engineer, started with a tired old '42 Willys MB he'd been wheeling for the past 10 years and a few ideas. The main inspiration for the rebuild came from images of Willys' own 1⁄2-ton MLW-2 prototype: (milweb.net/features/willys_jeep.php).This slightly larger and bigger tire'd Willys has similar hood lines to Brennan's MB, and Brennan says he was going for a look of a stock MB mixed 50/50 with the MLW-2 prototype pictures he had seen on the web. The plan started with Brennan designing a replacement frame built from 2x4x1⁄8-inch rectangular tubing and laser-cut 1⁄8-inch steel side plates that help tie the frame together, add strength, straightness, and suspension points. Remaining pieces of rectangular tubing were modified and used to make the front and rear bumpers and a couple of crossmembers. Once the frame was together, Brennan heaved the old beat-up body from his once-running MB onto the new frame and mocked up body mounts to hold the rusty old body in place.
A '73 Warn Belleview winch wearing synthetic rope was mounted with the bottom of the winch and aluminum fairlead below the bottom of the front bumper/crossmember. Then Brennan fabricated a mount for a Saginaw power steering box along the driver side front frame rail. The box is a 4-bolt unit from a '75 J20. The pump is a GM P-pump on a custom bracket. Both the winch fairlead and steering box are protected by the front leaf springs and front shackles. Speaking of the suspension, most of the work is handled by a set of four 1-inch lift rear CJ-2A/3A Superlift springs. The springs are pushed as far forward and backward front and rear, respectively, for the maximum wheelbase on the custom frame. The homebuilt placement and shackles gives the Jeep a stance of about 1⁄2-inch lower than a stock Willys MB and a wheelbase of 85 inches. That's right, we said it's lower than a stock Willys MB -- until you consider the 35-inch tires that the modified body cleanly clears. The shocks are cheap white 10-inch travel models to help keep cost down.
A '69 Buick 225ci odd-fire V-6 was sourced from the Jeep before the rebuild and placed pretty high up between the custom frame rails. The engine now breathes through a tweaked Motorcraft/Autolite 2100 with 1.08 venturis and other mods we discussed in our feature story, "Off Your Carburetor -- Dirt-Tuning the Motorcraft 2100," (Aug. '13). The air plenum is a Spectre unit from Summit Racing. The HEI unit was sourced used at a junkyard from a '75 or '76 odd-fire 231 Buick car. The 21⁄4-inch into one 21⁄2-inch exhaust is home built from tubing and cut bends snaking around the shoehorned drivetrain and frame. Brennan placed the engine with the drivetrain bolted to the engine so he could ensure a nearly flat belly under the little Jeep. A rebuilt '79 wide-ratio T-18 is bolted to the back of the V-6 with help from a Novak Conversions adapter. The T-case is a Dana 20 with Spicer 18 internals for maximum strength and is attached using the stock 4-inch-bore T-18 to Dana 20 adapter. Once in place, the rusty original body was dropped over the frame, engine, transmission, and T-case. Brennan cut open the floor to clear the higher drivetrain, but more on that and other extensive body modifications in the body section.
The front axle is a narrow-track Dana 30 from a mid-'70s CJ-5 that was located already holding 4.27 gears. Brennan added a Spartan locker to the 30, and designed his own front brake caliper mounting brackets brakes for a conversion for the formerly drum'd front axle. The caliper mounting brackets are designed to work with Tracker/Sidekick rotors and calipers. The rear axle is an early CJ-5 Dana 44 that was in the Jeep when Brennan bought it in 2003. Not being good at leaving well enough alone, Brennan designed spacers and had custom 30-spline flanged axleshafts cut by Dutchman to work with a home built full-float conversion. The conversion also uses spindles from Yukon that allow the larger 30-spline shafts to pass through them from the outside. This way the early Dana 44 is not only much stronger (than with the two-piece original axles), but now the width of the earlier axle would match the newer front axle. The Power-Lok originally found in the early CJ-5 Dana 44 was modified with 30-spline side gears and rebuilt to keep the tires spinning. The rear Dana 44 spins 4.30 gears. Tires are 35x13.50R15 BFGoodrich KX Krawler tires mounted on some used 15x10 steel beadlocks.
Body and Interior
Body modifications on the original MB fenders, tub, hood, and windshield are extensive, but somehow the patina is fairly well preserved. From the outset of the rebuild, Brennan's plans included a high-line fender conversion. That meant cutting the hood, stretching it, and reworking the front fenders to fit the grille once higher up and slightly forward of stock placement. The raised drivetrain meant that the floor and transmission tunnel of the body was extensively reworked, and the tool box and under seat fuel tank were removed to help drop the seats down in the tub. Speaking of the seats, Brennan found a set of EMPI Race Trim low-back suspension seats that fit low in the tub snuggly. An Optima Red Top battery is tucked under the driver seat in the MB's fuel tank recess. Next, Brennan removed the rear wheeltubs and strategically raised them several inches so the rear tires could have as much up-travel as the fronts. All this was done while still retaining the factory MB rear tool boxes, albeit with some new angled floors to help clear the 35-inch tires. Cuts in the hood and rear fender lips are all supported with 3⁄16-inch solid rod welded to the cut edges. XJ swinging pedals were modified to fit under the flattie's dash and activate the clutch and brakes. Because of the tight packaging of the raised transmission, Brennan runs a hydraulic internal throwout bearing from Speedway Motors. Brennan is not totally happy with it, but clearance requires it. A clutch fork would literally be sharing space with the Jeep's floor. Brakes are fed fluid from a dual pot master cylinder from a '76 Chevy Monza.
Behind the seats a custom fuel tank designed by Brennan holds 18 gallons. He sent the plans for the tank to Boyd Welding in Florida who happily and relatively inexpensively burned the tank together and shipped it back. It holds plenty of fuel and still allows for storage in the "bed" of the MB. Not surprisingly, Brennan designed and built the rollcage in the little Jeep, but not until after designing and building his own tubing bender. The 'cage is bent out of 1 1⁄2-inch 0.120-wall DOM and matches the low-profile of the seats and lower MB/GPW windshield. The cage also sits a few inches lower than most flattie 'cages, and keen eyes will notice that the A-to B-pillar bars are pretty much flat, while in most flattie's they slope up towards the rear.
Good, Bad, and What It's For
Brennan built the flattie to be capable and drivable nearly anywhere -- including the road. Since we shot the feature, Brennan has driven the little Jeep on a 2,000-mile wheeling/road trip. He says it was pretty happy at 52 mph after regearing the axles to 5.38. Brennan sticks to back roads whenever possible to keep tailgaters at bay. The Buick V-6 started sharing water and oil via a bad head gasket and is currently getting a full rebuild that should allow a little more speed without changing the gearing. An overdrive would be nice, but it adds complexity to an otherwise simple Jeep and probably would not fit without further work on the floor.
Why I Wrote This Feature
I've been a big fan of flatties and low Jeeps with big tires for a long time now, and this MB combines both nearly seamlessly. I also dig the simple military look that was retained despite the fact that the Jeep was massively reworked. Brennan has used lots of cool ideas all in one small capable vehicle. He says he was influenced by Jeeps we've built, but truly, some of his ideas will find their way into my flattie.

Annual Vendor Fair set for Oct. 30
Posted October 18, 2007; 03:53 p.m.
The purchasing department will sponsor the 13th annual Vendor Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30, in Dillon Gymnasium.
Those attending will be able to view a variety of products and services offered by many of the University's contract vendors. Refreshments will be available.


text: Today in class we watched Beowulf. It was kind of a mixed bag. Some of the action was pretty cool, but most of it was over-the-top and too bloody. The animation was weird and distracting; when they try to go super-realistic with humans in CGI, it just ends up looking creepy, at least in this case. The eyes aren't expressive enough and the mouths barely move. The overall movie felt a little disjointed. Not horrible, but not that good, either.

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Lupron
GENERIC NAME(S): LEUPROLIDE ACETATEFind Lowest Prices
Leuprolide is used to treat advanced prostate cancer in men. It is not a cure. Most types of prostate cancer need the male hormone testosterone to grow and spread. Leuprolide works by reducing the amount of testosterone that the body makes. This helps slow or stop the growth of cancer cells and helps relieve symptoms such as painful/difficult urination. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of treatment.
Leuprolide is also used to stop early puberty (precocious puberty) in children. It helps to delay sexual development (e.g., growth of the breasts/testicles) and the start of menstrual periods. It also helps slow down the rate of early bone growth so that the chances for reaching normal adult height are increased. Leuprolide works by decreasing the amount of sex hormones that a child's body makes (estrogen in girls, testosterone in boys).
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
Other leuprolide products may also be used to treat disorders of the uterus (e.g., endometriosis, fibroids). In females, leuprolide reduces the amount of estrogen that the body makes.
This medication may also be used to treat ovarian cancer.
This medication is given as an injection under the skin (subcutaneously), usually once a day or as directed by your doctor.
In children, the dosage is based on weight and response to therapy. The doctor should consider stopping treatment before age 11 for girls and age 12 for boys. Consult the doctor for details.
If you are directed to inject this medication yourself, learn all preparation and usage instructions in the product package. Learn how to store and discard needles and medical supplies safely. If any of the information is unclear, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Change the location of the injection site each time to avoid problem areas under the skin.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day.
Inform your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen.
Mild burning/pain/bruising at the injection site, hot flashes (flushing), increased sweating, night sweats, tiredness, headache, upset stomach, breast changes, acne, joint/muscle aches, trouble sleeping, reduced sexual interest, vaginal discomfort/dryness, vaginal bleeding, swelling of the ankles/feet, increased urination at night, or dizziness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Infrequently in men, shrinking of the testicles, breast tenderness/swelling, and reduced sexual interest/ability may also occur as a result of lowered testosterone levels. Talk to your doctor if these effects occur.
In girls, when this medication is used regularly, it is expected that the menstrual period will stop (or decrease to light bleeding/spotting during the first 2 months). Tell your doctor promptly if regular periods continue after 2 months of treatment with leuprolide.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
During the first few weeks of treatment, your hormone levels will actually increase before they decrease. This is a normal response by your body to this drug. This may result in a temporary increase in your symptoms for a few weeks.
In men, an increase in testosterone levels at the beginning of treatment may sometimes result in new or worsening symptoms for a few weeks. If you have prostate cancer that has spread to the spine or caused urinary blockage, you may require closer monitoring by your doctor, especially when you first start treatment. Tell your doctor right away if you experience any of the following serious side effects: bone pain, numbness/tingling/weakness of the arms/legs, blood in the urine, painful/difficult urination, unusual weakness, inability to move.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: mental/mood changes (e.g., depression, thoughts of suicide, mood swings, aggression in children), new/worsening bone pain (in adults), easily broken bones (in adults), increased thirst/urination.
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: chest/jaw/left arm pain, weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, seizures, fast/irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness, fainting.
Rarely, a very serious problem with your pituitary gland (pituitary apoplexy) may occur, usually in the first hour to 2 weeks after your first injection. Get medical help right away if any of these very serious side effects occur: sudden severe headache, sudden severe mental/mood changes (e.g., severe confusion, difficulty concentrating), vision changes, severe vomiting.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before using leuprolide, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients (such as the preservative benzyl alcohol), which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: diabetes, heart disease (such as heart attack), stroke, high cholesterol.
In adults, leuprolide may weaken your bones and increase your risk for bone loss (osteoporosis) if used for a long time. Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have osteoporosis or if you have any of the following risk factors for osteoporosis: long-term alcohol use, smoking, family history of osteoporosis and broken bones, use of certain medications (e.g., corticosteroids such as prednisone, certain anti-seizure drugs such as phenytoin).
Leuprolide may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention right away.
The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may cause QT prolongation. Before using leuprolide, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take and if you have any of the following conditions: certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death).
Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using leuprolide safely.
This drug may make you dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages.
Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially QT prolongation (see above).
Leuprolide must not be used during pregnancy. It may harm an unborn baby. If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, inform your doctor right away. Consult your doctor for more details and to discuss reliable forms of birth control. Non-hormonal birth control methods (e.g., condoms, diaphragm with spermicide) are recommended during treatment with leuprolide.
It is not known if leuprolide passes into breast milk. Because the effects of leuprolide on a nursing infant are unknown, breast-feeding is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
If someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911. Otherwise, call a poison control center right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
Do not share this medication with others.
Laboratory and/or medical tests (e.g., hormone levels, PSA blood test for men, bone tests, blood glucose) should be performed periodically to monitor your progress. Consult your doctor for more details.
It is very important that you do not miss any doses. However, if you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Different brands of this medication have different storage needs. Check the product package for instructions on how to store your brand, or ask your pharmacist. Protect from light and freezing. Keep all medications away from children and pets.

Milka & Oreo
October 16th, 2013 by Rosa
This Milka & Oreo came to me via a visiting German student in the lab. It was a gift for the lab to share, so I couldn't take it home to photograph in my usual set-up.
Instead, I managed to snag some shots with my fancy new iPhone (finally gave up on my dumb phone when the 9 button no longer worked) before my labmates tucked into the bar. I gotta say, I think my new camera phone is at least as good as, if not better than, my now 5 years old digital camera.
The Milka & Oreo was a Milka milk chocolate bar filled with Oreo cookies and cream. That Milka chocolate was wonderful – there was just a thin top and bottom layer of it, but it was substantial in texture (thick and creamy) and flavor (luscious caramel notes).
The offwhite cream center was sweet with notes of dairy and vanilla frosting. It was chock full of hearty bits of Oreo chocolate cookies, which tasted of bittersweet dark cocoa.
Those cookies were incredibly crunchy. I was astounded as to how they maintained their crunchiness while surrounded by all that cream.
I found this bar to be quite addictive. The flavor and texture mix was great, with the melting and sweet caramel milk chocolate contrasting nicely with the robust crunch of the darker chocolate Oreos. An OM.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: The Golden Horde
We could only read the situation and react. When the gobbler finally gave up and ran from the mob of jakes, we noted the direction he traveled and sprinted to do a long end-around. Luckily, there was just enough cover and terrain to let us navigate a mesquite flat and slip into the narrow live oak-filled draw where the bird had gone. If he stuck to that natural corridor, we'd be waiting.
A few minutes after we sat down, a white head appeared, followed by several crimson-necked turkeys. The jakes were still dogging that poor gobbler. Man, they sure looked funny flying out of there like quail when my buddy put the hammer down on the longbeard.
What decision did you make?

The 2009 animated retelling of the Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, will be shown at the Fond du Lac Public Library at 1 p.m. Sunday, December 15.
Shopping for readers this holiday season? The BookCellar at the Fond du Lac Public Library – the city's only used book store – sells used books, movies, music and magazines for all ages at deep discounts. Most hardcover books are $1, paperbacks and kids' books are 50 cents.
In December, two special sales offer even-better deals:
First in the new Nantucket Brides Trilogy, True Love by Jude Deveraux combines a little mystery, a ghost, a big family, with some reincarnation mixed in to make this a perfect choice for all you hopeless romantics out there. The Taggerts and Montgomerys from the author's Velvet series are together again in this magical tale set on the island of Nantucket.
School. Finals. Big papers due. Concerts to give. Presents to buy. Teens are under a lot of stress as the school semester and the holidays both close in on their already hectic schedules.
Time to Chillax. Teens in grades six to 12 are invited to do just that at 1 p.m. Sunday, December 8, at the Fond du Lac Public Library.
The Children's Dept. is planning two great holiday parties in December:
Forget the stockings: The Fond du Lac Public Library's new backpack-style book bags will hold a lot more of Santa's loot, and they're just $2. The backpacks are sold at the Main Library downtown and at FDLPL Express, near Festival Foods. The library's popular red totes also are available for sale at both locations for $2.
Author Amy Gail Hansen went to Carthage College in Kenosha and her debut novel is set at Tarble College, a fictional women's college in Kenosha that is based on the Carthage campus. (As an alumna of Carthage I really enjoyed the descriptions of the campus!) Main character Ruby Rousseau dropped out of Tarble at the end of first semester her senior year after trying to commit suicide. She is now living with her mother in Oak Park, IL and seeing a therapist. Then a suitcase arrives at her house with her name on the tag. She borrowed the suitcase from Beth Richards, an acquaintance at college.
Fond du Lac Public Library will be a distribution center for World Book Night, April 23, 2014, the annual global effort "spreading the love of reading, person to person."
Friends of the Fond du Lac Public Library, represented by board member Barbara Lukas, center, donated funds to purchase a new machine that covers library books more quickly and economically. Colleen Sweeney of the library's Technical Services Dept. demonstrates the machine for Lukas and library Director Jon Mark Bolthouse. The clear, custom-fit covers are available to the public for $3 each. The nonprofit Friends organization promotes and encourages the use of library services by fundraising, supporting special events such as Fond du Lac Reads and providing programs for the community.

It is something that the Liberal Democrats are very keen to promote, being the only main UK political party to give equal marriage their official policy backing.
The Conservative MP Peter Bone is less enthusiastic and writes today at ConservativeHome that redefining marriage threatens the liberties of Christians, teachers and parents.
His key argument seems to be that if young children are taught about equal marriage, then the conservative, "traditional" view of marriage will not be pre-eminent. As Bone puts it:
...schools will have no choice but to give children equivalent teaching on same sex marriage, even those children of a very young age, including those at primary school.
He worries about "the effect on our schools, children and teachers" and even suggests that parents who disagree with equal marriage may be excluded from being school governors. (It's not a topic that was ever raised during my eight years as a school governor...)
It is simply inconceivable in today's world where political correctness runs a mock [sic] in our institutions, that there would not be profound consequences for those who hold traditional views.
Parents who object will be treated as bigots and outcasts, possibly excluded from being on the PTA, or from being a governor. Discriminated against and persecuted because they hold views that have been enshrined in our laws and have been the cornerstone of our society for two thousand years.
Just because something has been traditional doesn't mean it's right nor permanent - cf slavery, women's disenfranchisement and any number of "traditions" that seemed like a good idea at the time to those who happened to be doing the oppressing.
Sarah Hanson-Young, a Green Senator for South Australia sums it up:
"Claiming that someone else's marriage is against your religion is like being angry at someone for eating a donut because you're on a diet"— Sarah Hanson-Young (@sarahinthesen8) February 28, 2012
Watch out for the launch of the Government consultation on Equal Marriage, get in touch with LGBT+ Liberal Democrats and ask them how you can get involved, (a little rainbow bird tells me there will be huge fun to be had, while leafleting gay bars and clubs around the country).
Meanwhile you can add your name to the Coalition for Equal Marriage's petition.

Guys, local sightings in Vegas of the TOD wave have been at Smith's grocery stores. (Makes sense, Smith's and Food4less are both Kroger's)
So keep an eye out!
A few more Joes at Burbank Target this morning, I picked up the EEL. No SW... someone kinda organized the pegs by character, so I finished up with a couple stragglers. There's a peg & a half of Yarnas, almost a full peg each of Imp. Engineers, Even/Yaddle, Kashyyyk Troopers... heck, maybe even Jodos, I didn't think about organizing them.
Pointed out two horrible swap jobs to redshirts, an Indiana Jones that was there yesterday, the whip-action one I think but with the hat removed (leaving a garish block on a half-head), a plastic whip instead of the thread one, and NO other accessories. On a KOTCS Indy card (insert, at least); the other was a B'omarr Assault BP with the Anakin & BD removed, replaced with a carded Anakin without his belt/skirt (I imagine the thief wanted an SA Anakin with a plastic skirt) and what seemed to be an Episode I Battle Droid (slashed, I think) without its head. What really got me is the thief didn't even return the parts he probably didn't want, the soft-goods skirt and (guessing) the animated-style BD head.
Really wish that scumbag would find some other store to mess with...
Saw a Joe variant/error also, on a Tiger Force Duke. His left forearm is the previous style, with the horrible 'split in the middle' wrist articulation, but the sleeve & joint are the Tiger Force green. Zero signs of tampering, and given the other new figures it must have come from the case like that. Seems a plausible error if TF Duke and regular/jumppack Duke are assembled in the same area.
Target's still splashing all the JLU 3-packs around the DCU pegs to make everything look 'full'. It'd be nice if DCU actually shipped regularly!
HOLIDAY25 is the new code available at HTS for 25% off. If you buy more than $50, shipping is free. Just got an AT-TE using this.
Last night at Rosemead WM, I found the new comic packs along with several comic packs that had the figures swapped out. The figures were hooded with black robes making it difficult to tell who they were. I feel bad for some kid that ends up getting these and I to hope one day catch someone returning swapped figures...
At lunch today, I found (but passed on), the TRU Battlefront BPs (clone and droids). They also had a few cases of CW figs with Dooku, PloKoon, etc.
That HTS.com coupon code is great- but they have nothing I want (except the BMF which I can't afford even with a discount).
Nothing really new at Burbank Target... they have the Yoda/Coruscant Trooper BP, and vehicles have quickly dropped to just two Azure Angel Anakin fighters. I passed basics, CPs, and the Yoda BP under the scanner, and they've got all of that stuff in the stockroom apparently, and plenty of room on the shelves & pegs for all of it. Only a Dengar/Mandie & Leia/Mandie pack on the CP peg. It'd be nice if they ditched one of those Miniatures pegs and made it for CPs again, so they could put a full case or two out... not that I particularly want to spend $14+ on any of 'em
I stopped by WM on my way to work & found several cases of CW w3. There were also a few of the new Comic Packs w/ Clone Emperor/Luke & Faie/Vos. I couldn't pass those up.
They had the new Cars "cube" which had been ransacked already...probably a few days ago.
No new Joes, but I did just order the new vehicles from HTS...H.A.W.K. & Sting Raider. Get 'em while they're hot.
Found at Target this morning the new wave of GI Joe figures (Blowtorch and the new Resolute cartoon figures (Cobra Commander, Cobra Soldier and Duke)). Also found the new Transformers Classics Hound with Ravage.
Wanted: -

Well, if you want Android but you want to get updates straight from the OS manufacturer like you do with the iPhone... then get a Nexus? That's what they're for.
It's the same as the people who complain about the custom skin on their phone and say they just want plain, vanilla Android. Some people don't care about that, but if you're someone who does, then the Nexus range of phones is specifically designed for you.

Binghamton University's new Downtown Center to strengthen community partnerships
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University today officially opened the doors of its Downtown Center, bringing with it enhanced opportunities for community and educational partnerships, and a new sense of vibrancy to the heart of Binghamton.
Home to the University's College of Community and Public Affairs (CCPA), the center, located at 67 Washington Street, puts faculty, staff and students affiliated with its programs in human development, public administration and social work close to the agencies and organizations with which they collaborate.
The 74,400 square foot, four-level brick and limestone building includes a three-story atrium that opens onto an exterior plaza and landscaped outdoor areas. The floor design in the lobby reflects the history of the area and features curves and patterns that are the outlines of building and other structures that previously stood on the site. Offering 11 state of the art classrooms, the center also has conference areas, a combined library and computer pod, CCPA and Broome Community College offices, a coffee kiosk and a student lounge. Located near the confluence of the Chenango and Susquehanna Rivers, the facility features a series of landscaped outdoor spaces and a plaza connection to the City's River Walk.
Built at a cost of $29 million, this first-of-its-kind project for the State University Construction Fund was bid as several contracts, allowing construction of the shell of the building to begin before the interior design work was completed. Additional contracts were awarded for the interior and site work after the building shell was in progress, fast tracking the entire project to meets its ambitious deadline.
Working with the University's Physical Facilities staff and a campus planning committee, HOLT Architects, PC, of Ithaca, NY, designed the building to fit into the Binghamton cityscape and blend with the downtown historic district. The construction project was managed by LeChase Construction Services, Inc. of Rochester, NY.
The center is certified by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), which is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance 'green' buildings. LEED features in the building include high-efficiency mechanical equipment and lighting, energy-efficient windows, daylight views to reduce the need for artificial lighting, and recycled building materials.
The University Downtown Center will be open to the public during regular building hours, which are 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. during the week, and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. Visitors will be able to access the building through the Washington Street entrance where they will receive a visitor's pass. The building will be staffed by New York State University Police, and security guards 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It is estimated that the building has created 840 jobs during its construction period and provided an economic impact of $57 million.

Badgers have first full-pad practice
First scrimmage is Monday
MADISON, Wis. - The Badger football team had its first full-pad practice of fall camp at Camp Randall Stadium Friday afternoon.
Head Coach Gary Andersen said he was pleased with most of the workout, but was a little disappointed with part of it.
"I thought we had a serious lull when the offense was going indoor and the defense was staying out there was about a three period stretch that was the worst we have had since I have been here," Andersen said. "We got together and we talked about it.
"I think with full pads on, [it] gives us just a little bit more of an edge and especially on a long drawn out week. but that is what we want, long drawn out weeks right now."
The Badgers will have two practices Saturday- one in the morning and one at night. They'll take Sunday off then have their first scrimmage of fall camp Monday afternoon.VIDEO: Badgers have first full-pad practice

Soooo... There was this guy i met 2 or 3 times "in real life" and who was often on IRC.I knew that he was working (almost) for our provider. So here i am, asking him if he can help me getting those stats. And YES ! He could ! 15 minutes later my MRTG was configured and now, we're all happy.
Yesterday, meeting with almost all the people of the company, to discuss about our "future". *cough*. If you want to recruit a Sysadmin, in Rennes, i'm your man.
sh has announced his (Debian) ITP for a few softwares, including the Bobot++ from eb. But since eb isn't working on it anymore, I'm preparing myself mentally to take over his work. I already have a CVS which contains a version with add-ons. Hum ... sourceforge is waiting for me, i can feel it ! :-)
4 brand new G4 have been received at work today. They're sweet. The mouse is now usable for normally constitued human beings. But (localized) MacOS sux. Deeply.
This week-end, Recovery.

Burundi police attack journalists marching for Ruvakuki
On Tuesday, Burundi's press corps did what it has done for the past three weeks: protest the imprisonment of one of its own. Hassan Ruvakuki is a reporter jailed since November 28, 2011 on anti-state charges; for the first time, the journalists wore white t-shirts showing Ruvakuki in his green prison uniform. But this time, the reaction by police caught journalists by surprise.

The bill is now slated to take effect 90 days after the close of this legislative session, or September 14. But opponents are widely expected to collect the 55,087 signatures required to bring the question to the ballot in either November or June 2010, setting the stage for what may be a pretty intense fight. That's the short term. But it's much less clear what will same-sex marriage will be like in Maine after the post-battle dust settles, say, in late 2010.
We asked few folks involved in the debate what they think. And a large number of them — whether they are for or against same-sex marriage — predict that most people won't really give it a second thought, even a scant 18 months from now. Among the remainder, the chief sentiment is that the degree to which same-sex marriage is controversial will shift with time, possibly resulting in a repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (which limits federal marriage benefits to one-man-one-woman couples), subtle shifts in clerical practice, or both.
An expanding movement
"Gay and lesbian couples will be getting married," predicts Shenna Bellows, executive director of the Maine Civil Liberties Union, one of the organizations that led the drive for marriage equality in Maine. But, like a true activist, she doesn't see it ending there. "Some of those couples may start to look to the federal level to rectify the discrimination that's occurring federally," she says, adding that "Maine's success will inspire citizens of other states to advocate for equality." And on a personal note, "In 2050, I think that I'll be telling my grandkids about the most historic moment of my legislative advocacy, and they'll be bored. They won't be able to imagine a time when we discriminated against gays and lesbians," similar to how many young people today struggle to imagine discriminating against African Americans.
End of controversy
Like Bellows, Dennis Damon, the Democratic senator from Hancock County who was the lead sponsor of Maine's same-sex marriage law, expects the controversy will largely blow over, though there will remain pockets of people who don't accept it, "just like there are those probably in this nation who have never accepted desegregation."
Damon, a notary public who is allowed to conduct civil marriages under Maine law, says he has been pleasantly surprised to find that people have asked him to officiate at their same-sex marriage ceremonies. He says the law allows him to agree to conduct some, and not others, as he has previously decided individually whether or not he will conduct heterosexual marriages, and "I'm not worried about being sued" over those decisions, as some same-sex marriage opponents have suggested might happen.
Stronger traditional marriages
Damon finds what may be unlikely agreement from Bob Emrich, director of the Maine Jeremiah Project, which has opposed same-sex marriage, and which is leading the people's-veto effort. By late 2010, same-sex marriage will be overturned and not mourned, but rather considered "a fad that's passed by," Emrich says.

The alpha branch should not be a widely used branch. English is. Something wrong with this picture?
I would argue that the fact that we have homophones in the first place is a bad thing. Ideally: One sound, one spelling, one meaning (except possibly allowing for metaphorical meanings derived from that).

Put the password to the file in your will (keep it under appropriate trusted guard, to be released only on your death). As long as the will and the encrypted file are kept apart until after your death, the file will remain secure until then. You can also modify the encrypted file as things change, encrypt with the same password, and resend the file.

I've been asking around for help and was pointed to this thread by another forum member.
I would very much like to get the Halo exclusive from SDCC. If any of you are going and can help, please let me know.
There would be NO COST to you. I'd forward the money first. (In fact it's supposed to be a pre-order online-so you'd order it then just pick it up at the con-no lines!) If that's the case, again I'd forward you the money first so no cost to you. It takes less than 2 minutes to sign up for the pre-order and you're done until the con.
I'd REALLY appreciate this.
In fact I'll give you an extra $20 for your effort.
If anyone can help and knows that they'll be able to follow through with this, please PM me.
Thanks greatly to all those can help!

By Lisa Voyles/Chickasaw Journal
HOULKA – The Houlka gymnasium was filled to capacity Jan. 18 as faculty, staff and students of Houlka High School, along with family members and friends, said goodbye to Coach Jimbo Byars.
Byars, 47, died Jan. 15 after a brief battle with cancer, leaving his wife, children and many family members as survivors, but those who attended his service felt he left the world a better place for his presence in it.
Byars began his career as a student teacher at Tupelo High School in 1993 and taught history at Houlka Attendance Center for many years. During his tenure at Houlka he coached baseball, softball, football and track and kept the time clock for basketball games.
Although Byars' funeral was held at 2 p.m. Friday afternoon, the Wildcats and Lady Wildcats were on the court playing basketball in Okolona Friday night. Coach Vicki Homan said the staff felt the decision to play was best for the students.
"We're playing with heavy hearts right now," Homan said. "But we thought it was best to get the kids back into a regular routine. We have to move on, that's what he would have wanted."
During the memorial service, Coach Jimmy Guy McDonald, Sid Burt, Seth Burt, Bro. Jeff Harmon and Bro. David Blackwell all spoke of Byars' desire to be a witness for the Lord and to minister to others while battling his own illness.
Homan said his support for and love of the students at Houlka Attendance Center will help ease their loss.
"He always wanted the girls to leave it all on the floor," Homan said. "It didn't matter if they won or lost. He wanted them to strive no matter what the score."
A reception was held at First Baptist Church of Houlka following the memorial service and interment was in Lee Memorial Park in Verona.

Bring the world into play with PlayStation Vita and dramatically change the world around you using augmented reality...
Whether you're becoming a vengeful warrior in God of War, an expert racing driver in Gran Turismo or a creative level builder in LittleBigPlanet, video games offer you the chance to explore your imagination.
Augmented reality adds another wonderful path for you to travel down in these worlds of fantasy. It changes your surroundings into an incredible virtual playground using computer generated images and lets you interact with them - through a TV screen, a camera... and now, PlayStation Vita.
Bring the world into play
By merging the real world and the game world, augmented reality helps you discover a new way to play - and PS Vita is ready to take this augmented reality out of your home so you can take it wherever you want to go.
"Sony Computer Entertainment Europe always had an interest in augmented reality gaming," says Studio Liverpool producer John McLaughlin. "There were the EyeToy titles on PlayStation 2, then the Invizimals series on PSP, and Start the Party! and EyePet on PlayStation 3. With PS Vita we can take it that little bit further."
From its launch on 23 February 2012, PS Vita will be charging full steam ahead into the exciting realm of augmented reality - and you'll be taken along for a journey that will change the way you look at portable gaming. When you buy a PlayStation Vita system, you're not just getting the cutting edge in handheld technology - you're also opening a window of augmented reality fun - bundled with the system are six AR Play Cards.
The reality of WAAR
"This is all possible with the new technology we've developed, called Wide-Area Augmented Reality [WAAR]," explains McLaughlin. "In most augmented reality games, gameplay is typically centred around a single card. WAAR gives us the ability to play with six cards.
"So when you're playing a single marker augmented reality game, if you move away from the card, you move away from the action. WAAR gives us the chance to create a bigger augmented reality world by putting the markers in different places."
Other excellent AR Play Cards titles are in the works to offer you great augmented reality fun across a variety of entertaining and gripping genres. And the best part is you won't need to buy new AR Play Cards to enjoy these titles - you can just keep using the same ones to gain fresh new gameplay experiences. Don't worry if you lose them, as you'll be able to print out AR Play Cards for free from PlayStation.com.
Fighting round the world
There are applications such as t@g, the free graffiti creator that lets you leave your mark wherever you go. Other t@g users can use the PS Vita system's powers of augmented reality to discover new t@gs.
Reality Fighters is another augmented reality game that makes great use of the PS Vita system's unique features. You can take a snap of your face - or your nearest and dearest's - and plant it on the mug of your brawler. Give them your own voice by speaking into the built-in microphone, customise their look and fighting style, and then throw them into battle... with just about anywhere in the world as your arena.
It doesn't matter if it's the local park, an airport or even your kitchen table, by taking a picture of your environment using the PS Vita's rear camera, you can battle anyone, anywhere in Reality Fighters.
Future fantasy meets reality
This is only the beginning for augmented reality on PS Vita. The technology of the powerful portable system has developers looking to take advantage of the exciting new possibilities.
"I think you'll start to see a lot more examples of augmented reality in games," says McLaughlin. "For example, we could do a Heavy Rain investigation type of game where you can use both of the PS Vita cameras to pan around an environment to find clues.
"Or maybe you'll be taking pictures of some of the beautiful cars in Gran Turismo, placing them in your living room and driving them around like remote-controlled cars. You could create a racing track with hills and chicanes depending on where you place the AR Play Cards."
Augmented reality means you literally have your hands on the gameplay, merging fantasy and real life into a seamless whole. With PS Vita this innovative experience can be taken everywhere you go - can you afford to miss out?

The Slide Rule
What is The Slide Rule? The Slide Rule has been designed to dramatically simplify the identification of the best companies in the UK small/mid-cap sector by making a quantitative assessment of the relative potential of each company. At its core, The Slide Rule aims to identify those companies that create genuine shareholder value through strong returns on capital and solid growth, but also present a value opportunity with the potential tailwind of earnings momentum. Companies are assessed within a Quality, Value, Growth and Momentum (QVGM) framework.

BlackRock Smaller Companies Trust is considering ending the restriction on AIM investment in its portfolio. Currently, the trust is not allowed to invest more than 40% of its portfolio value in AIM-quoted companies. If the required consents and regulatory approvals are received, a resolution may be put forward at the annual general meeting in June. Vets practices owner CVS is currently the largest investment in the trust's portfolio and wound management firm Advanced Medical Solutions is also in the top ten. The rest of the top ten are fully listed companies. The best performer in February was telematics equipment and services provider Quartix. BlackRock is considering this change at a time when the Small and Mid-Cap Investors Survey 2017 suggests that there is a positive change in attitude towards AIM. Overall, investors believe that AIM is better than it has ever been. The average size of companies continues to rise and this is taken as an indication of maturity but there is still concern about the lower end of the market. There is little pressure on AIM companies to move to the Main Market even if they are relatively large for AIM. There are currently eight companies on AIM valued at more than £1bn, accounting for around one-sixth of the total market value of AIM.

Strategy proof point
Prelims are in line with consensus expectations unchanged at the January trading update: EBITDA of £2.5m (consensus £2.4m) was delivered from revenue of £15.4m (£15.0m), including revenue growth of 140% and maiden positive EBITDA (FY15: £-2.9m). Momentum in connected premises (3,962 at FY16) and a strong backlog of contracted premises still to be connected (3,558) means the total value of unreleased future contracted revenue has built to £106m at a typical gross margin of over 90%. Growth across public sector and business sectors remains strong, while mobile network operators are keenly aware of the benefits of CityFibre's national fibre network. Regulatory uncertainty is giving way to clear opportunity, with OFCOM's policy proposals making encouraging noises around fostering "network based competition". CityFibre continues to deliver on its strategy, in line with expectations: target 130p reiterated.

Unexpected strong performance in Mobile Networks
Nokia reported Q1 revenues of €5,388m, down 6% yoy at comparable currency and down 3.8% on reported figures. The Ultra Broadband Networks segment went down by 3.5% yoy (€3,597m), with a flattish Mobile Networks (€3,096m, -0.6%) and a strongly decreasing Fixed Networks (€501m, -18.3%). IP Networks and Applications came in at €1,304m, also down yoy (-10.2%), with all sub-segments being down by double-digit but Applications & Analytics (€359m, flat yoy. As a consequence, the overall Networks business was down by 5.4% yoy. Nokia Technologies displayed a strong increase yoy (€247m, +24.7%). The adjusted gross margin came in at 40.8%, up 140bp yoy, for an IFRS gross margin of 39.5%. The adjusted EBIT margin came in at 6.3%, up 10bp yoy, for an IFRS EBIT margin of -2.4%, leading to an IFRS loss of €473m. For 2017, the company maintained a negative outlook for its addressable market, which is expected to decrease by 2.2%, as well as an operating margin of 8-10%; capex is still expected to be c. €500m, and the cost-savings target of €1.2bn in 2018 is maintained.

Spain now represents nearly 15% of Orange's revenues
Q1 revenues have grown organically by 0.8% yoy. This is quite a correct performance, in line with market's expectations, and which confirms the good trend recorded in the previous quarter. Remember, revenues had increased by 0.3% during H1 16 and by 0.9% in H2 16. The great story in Spain continued apace with revenue growth of 8.5% yoy. In France, revenues were stable, the impact of roaming being offset by a clear improvement in the mobile trend while the fixed services grew by 1.6% yoy. Q1 EBITDA increased by 2% yoy. With no surprise, the group has confirmed its objective for 2017 of a higher EBITDA than in 2016 on a comparable basis (lifted by the strong commercial momentum supported by capex, and continuing efforts to transform the cost structure). As a reminder, the group will pay a dividend of €0.60 per share for 2016 and €0.65 for…2017.

Too little improvement offset by persistent weaknesses
Ericsson reported Q1 revenues of SEK46.4bn, corresponding to a decrease of 11.2% yoy on a reported basis, while on a comparable basis (comparable units and currency) the decline was 16%. Latin America (-29%), Northern (-24%) and Central (-17%) Europe witnessed sharp drops, while South-East Asia & Oceania showed some growth (+7%). Under the new reporting structure, Networks fell by 12.7% yoy (SEK34.9bn), IT & Cloud by 2.9% (SEK9.5bn) and Media by 19.6% (SEK2bn). Provisions and customer project adjustments had a one-off negative impact of SEK1.4bn. The gross margin came in at 13.9% and was massively impacted by restructuring charges (SEK1.5bn) and customer-related provisions (SEK6.7bn), leading to an adjusted gross margin of 30.5%, down 340bp yoy. Similarly, EBIT was impacted negatively by a total of SEK13.4bn of charges: SEK1.7bn of restructuring, SEK3.3bn of write-downs and SEK8.4bn of provisions; as a consequence, the adjusted EBIT margin came in at 2.3% but the reported EBIT margin at -26.6%. EPS came in at SEK-3.29. The company maintained its annual run rate target of SEK7bn for IPR Licensing (SEK10bn in 2016) and the RAN equipment market forecast at between -2% to -6% in USD; restructuring charges are now expected to reach SEK6-8bn, while renewed Managed Services contracts with reduces scope in North America will have a negative impact on Q2 and Q3 revenues, while an additional negative impact of SEK10bn by 2019 is expected due to low-performing operations in the Managed Services and Networks roll-out.

Northland Capital Partners Update Note
AdEPT continues its transition from a provider of fixed-line telephony services to an integrated communications services provider. In its April 5th Trading Update AdEPT reported strong performance for the year to March 31st 2016, indicating EBITDA of £6.10m, +33%YoY, ahead of our outlook of £5.9m; reduced net debt at £(6.2)m (previous NCP estimate £(7.0)m; and, notably, an increase in recommended year-end dividend from 3.00p/share to 3.50p/share, ahead of our outlook, to be paid in early October 2016. This takes the proposed full year dividend to 6.50p/share. Based on the medium-term outlook for AdEPT's integrated communications offering we have raised our price target from 285p to 300p.

Opportunity knocks
TEP's trading update for the year to March 2017 highlights modest growth as expected, with a total dividend of 48p (25p final dividend) in line (49pE). FY18 forecasts are trimmed 3% at adjusted PBT level, to remain in line with FY17, with better quality customers taking all possible services – at a higher cost of acquisition but better prospective year 2 margins. With the positive outlook that a narrowing of the gap between standard variable energy tariffs and aggressively priced introductory deals has led to an encouraging upward trend in Q4 to March, prospects for restored growth in revenue (FY18) and profit (FY19) are strong. Improved incentivisation of the self employed salesforce, after a few years of lower growth, is complemented by the imminent addition of Home Insurance, adding sales momentum and increased customer interest as utility prices rise. With the double upside to the £70m tender offer in summer, and the June release of FY19 forecasts illustrating growth following greater detail available at prelims, the future is brighter for TEP. Target 1360p reiterated.

Operational backfire
In Q1 17, revenues increased 4.9% to €1.06bn and excluding one-off effects revenues increased 2.5%. Gross profit improved 9% to €468.8m and the gross margin increased from 42.6% to 44.3%. EBITDA improved 1.5% to €339.5m and the EBITDA margin increased from 19.5% to 19.7%. EBIT increased 7.8% to €126.4m and the EBIT margin increased from 11.6% to 11.9%. The total number of subscribers increased by only 0.5% to 20.62m. The number of postpaid subscribers, which is the most interesting group to follow, increased 1.8% to 15.07m. ARPU of the group improved from €8.4 to €8.5 per month. In Austria, the number of postpaid customers declined by 0.4% to 3.7m and the wireless ARPU 1.6% to €15.6, which was entirely linked to the losses in roaming revenues. The fixed-line ARPL, however, rose from €28.1 to €28.3 due to strong upselling measures.

Creation of a new mobile Indian leader
Vodafone will combine its subsidiary Vodafone India (excluding its 42% stake in Indus Towers) with Idea, which is listed on the Indian Stock Exchange. The implied EVs are $12.4bn for Vodafone India and $10.8bn for Idea. This is a merger of equals with joint control of the combined company between Vodafone and the Aditya Birla Group (which controls Idea), governed by a shareholders' agreement. Vodafone will indeed own 45.1% of the combined company after transferring a stake of 4.9% to the Aditya Birla Group for $579m in cash concurrent with the completion of the merger. The Aditya Birla Group will then own 26% and has the right to acquire more shares from Vodafone under an agreed mechanism with a view to equalising the shareholdings over time. Until equalisation is achieved, the voting rights of the additional shares held by Vodafone will be restricted and votes will be exercised jointly under the terms of the shareholders' agreement. Vodafone India will be deconsolidated by Vodafone, reducing Vodafone's net debt by c.$8.2bn and lowering Vodafone Group's leverage by around 0.3x the EBITDA. The transaction is expected to close during 2018, subject to the customary approvals.

Consumer business is doing very well
Q1 revenues were still down by 2.4% yoy, like in the previous quarter (note, however, the trend is clearly improving compared to H1 16): this was mainly due to the impact of price pressure in the wholesale voice carrier market (iBasis). But revenues for the Netherlands were only 1.5% lower yoy and if KPN is still suffering from the decline in the business market size, the consumer revenues were, however, up by 2.1% yoy supported by the positive impact of base growth and a higher ARPU. But the key point is that the Q1 EBITDA was very solid, 2.8% higher yoy. Quite a good performance, driven by growth in the customer base and the positive impact of cost savings. KPN remains, however, cautious for its 2017 outlook with an EBITDA in line with 2016 (including the negative impact of c.€45m from the European roaming regulation). KPN still intends to pay a regular dividend of €0.11 for 2017 and increase the regular dividend in line with its free cash flow growth profile thereafter.
