The Waterview Connection is a motorway section under construction through west/central Auckland, New Zealand. It will connect State Highway 20 in the south at Mt Roskill to State Highway 16 in the west at Point Chevalier, and is a part of the Western Ring Route. It was formerly known as the SH20 Avondale extension.
The Waterview link will be 4.5 km long, of which 2.5 km are to be in a mostly bored twin tunnel, with three lanes in each tunnel. Upon opening, the two tunnels will supersede the Lyttelton Road Tunnel as New Zealand's longest road tunnels. By 2026, it is expected to carry 83,000 vehicles a day.[1][2]
On 21 December 2009 a final alignment and extended tunnel option was announced requiring 205 houses to be bulldozed.[3] From late 2010 onwards, the consent process for the motorway proposal proceeded with a new 9-month fast-track format enabled by changes to the Resource Management Act. Significant upgrades and widening (additional traffic lanes) on State Highway 16 from St Lukes Road to Te Atatu was also rolled into the approvals process for Waterview. While the majority of this widening occurs on the Western Ring Route, the widening is not part of the Waterview Connection, except in a legal/approvals sense.
In mid-2011, the Board of Inquiry granted consent, which could not be appealed except on points of law (and was not appealed by any parties). The decision was generally greeted as positive, as it allows work to proceed on the project, and as the Board directed significant environmental mitigation over and above what the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) had originally proposed for the affected communities.
The New Zealand Transport Agency intends to complete the Waterview works in the 2015/16 financial year.[4] The link will be the last section of SH20, and will complete the Western Ring Route.

Planning history[edit]
The project has had an extensive planning history, with the earliest consultation having occurred in 2000,[5] though the proposal for a route roughly in the area dates from much earlier.[citation needed]
Routes considered[edit]
Several routes were considered, all being variations of either a connection to SH16 along the Rosebank Peninsula (e.g. AR1, AR3) or at the Great North Road interchange at Waterview (e.g. AW1, AW4).[6] It was generally assumed that below-ground construction would be required where AR3 passed through Avondale Heights, to a maximum depth of 41 m. On the basis of technical and environmental assessments, the AR3 and AW4 route options were dismissed.
Transit New Zealand selected the Waterview connection as its preferred route,[7] with the support of the Auckland City Council[8] and Waitakere City Council,[9][10] over the Rosebank option, which is still the preferred route of the Auckland Regional Council.[11] The previous AW1 and AW4 routes favoured a New North Road interchange with ramps facing south, and full connections at the Waterview interchange. The preferred route was announced with a Great North Road interchange replacing New North Road and no southbound access at Waterview. This proved unpopular with local residents, and it is considered unlikely a bored tunnel could accommodate an interchange because of its depth.[12]
The NZ Transport Agency continues to investigate options for the Waterview connection. The three options are:
- the AW1 option as previously presented
- an extended cut-and-cover option
- a full tunnel option
These may include a partial interchange at Great North Road where it meets Blockhouse Bay Road, or a tunnel with no interchange at Great North Road. The NZ Transport Agency is still investigating options for the Waterview interchange.[13]
In Newsletter 11, November 2006,[14] Transit announced that it would be investigating further construction options for the route. The map included expands the study area to the east, which would allow SH20 to run almost directly from the Mt Roskill extension, parallel to Richardson and Woodward Roads, to the SH16 Great North Road interchange at Waterview. Outcome of the tunneling assessment was due around September 2007.[15]
Tolling not considered further[edit]
On 4 April 2007 Transit "decided not to progress with the toll proposal at this time". "On balance, and after careful consideration of the public responses and the stakeholder submissions, the Transit Board's view is that it will be too difficult to satisfactorily address those - at times, competing - issues while maintaining a feasible business case for tolling the Western Ring Route".[16]
Bored tunnels preferred[edit]
On 7 February 2008, bored tunnels were announced as Transits preferred option.[17] The NZ Transport Agency's preferred option is a pair of two-lane tunnels costing $1.89 billion, rather than a pair of three-lane tunnels costing $2.14 billion. NZTA's traffic modelling indicates the capacity of the two-lane tunnels would be reached within 10 years of operation.[18] Map of Tunnel Route
Transit NZ's board resolved to seek a designation over land for a $1.89 billion pair of motorway tunnels through Waterview.[19] The board called for a report from officials on managing fumes from the tunnel "to benchmark the proposed approach incorporated in the design work to date against current international best practice". In response to submissions questioning the adequacy of just two traffic lanes running in each direction, it sought a comparative assessment of the operational performance and costs of providing three-lane tunnels, initially estimated at $2.14 billion.[20]
Tunnels are not much more expensive than a far more disruptive option of a surface route combined with limited sections of "cut and cover" trenches costing $1.7 billion. A full surface option would be prevented by a need to run the motorway under or over two rail corridors, several busy arterial roads and Oakley Creek. National fully supported completing the region's western ring route in no more than eight years.[21]
Public-private partnership investigation[edit]
The government set up a joint public-private sector steering group to investigate the feasibility of a public-private partnership (PPP) as a procurement method for the Waterview Connection Project. A PPP will be evaluated alongside a conventional public sector procurement method to determine how the two methods compare in terms of value for money. The steering group has as an independent chairperson, Sir Brian Elwood, and reports directly to the Ministers of Finance and Transport. It was expected to report back to Government by the end of June 2008.[22][23]
It was announced on 26 August 2008 that the steering group advised the Government that a public-private partnership (PPP) would be the best way of building the new $2 billion section of the city's Western Ring Route. Finance Minister Michael Cullen said a PPP, which would mean tolls of about $2 a trip, was looking "pretty positive". Transport Minister Annette King said the report identified several critical factors that would need to be met for the project to be successful, and she had ordered officials to do more work before the Government committed to a PPP. Treasury, Transport Ministry and New Zealand Transport Agency officials would report back to ministers by October or early November. "Once this work is done Cabinet will be able to make some firm decisions on how to progress Waterview."[24]
Notice of requirement deferred[edit]
The NOR, which was expected to be lodged by the end of November 2008,[25] was deferred. The NZTA stated that they would keep working towards lodgement while the technical issues were worked through. The following points have been raised:
- Air quality issues were raised by Waterview Primary School representatives. They had serious concerns with the air quality report released last month. It showed air quality would be the same or slightly better at most sensitive sites around the air vents, because the tunnel would remove traffic from local roads but the report didn't consider the impact of tolling, which could add more traffic to surface roads, and there wasn't enough consideration given to international best practice on air filtering. Also, the report didn't account for ventilation fans being turned off during off-peak times, allowing emissions to escape through the tunnel openings. They also want reconsideration of taking a section of the school's playing field for use during the five-year construction period.
- A developer has consent for building 83 new homes, 19 metres away from the Owairaka ventilation stack and there are concerns over unfiltered fumes. The developer wants the ventilation stack moved further away, but there are worries that might push fumes closer to Christ the King School.[26][27]
Request to reconsider Rosebank route[edit]
The ARC requests NZTA to reconsider whether the proposed Waterview Connection is the most cost-effective way of completing the Western Ring Road. This should include reconsideration of the costs and benefits of the alternative Rosebank route.[28][29]
Cost of bored tunnels questioned[edit]
In 2009, the CEO of Federated Farmers, Conor English (brother of the Finance Minister of the same period, Bill English), announced that Federated Farmers wanted the government to review the tunnelling with a view to cancelling it. He argued in an editorial that the project represented a "tunnel with no hill", costed at that time at about $1.9 billion or about $600 million a kilometre. Therefore, the motorway should instead be built as a surface road, and the savings instead invested into water storage projects benefitting farming.[30]
On 30 January 2009 Transport Minister Steven Joyce announced his concern with the $3.16 billion cost (including financing costs of more than $500 million and an upgrade of the nearby Northwestern Motorway for $240 million) of three-lane tunnels, as he was "not comfortable" with the idea of building two-lane structures with no ability to enlarge them for future traffic demand. He has given officials until April to review all options for a connection of State Highway 20 to the Northwestern at Waterview, including a potentially disruptive surface route through Mt Albert and previously discarded "cut and cover" proposals. He was unable to predict a completion date for Auckland's 42 km western ring route, saying officials regarded a 2015 target of the previous Labour government as "aspirational".[31]
Combination tunnel method announced[edit]
On 13 May 2009 NZTA announced its new preferred route for the Waterview Connection motorway as a combination of surface, bored tunnel and cut and cover tunnel. The tunnels would be constructed with provision for three lanes in each direction.[32]
A raised surface motorway through Allen Wood Reserve[33] and the short section between the bored and cut and cover tunnel portals near the Great North Rd and Blockhouse Bay Rd intersection[34] are the largest differences between the new preferred route and the previous bored tunnel option.[35] At $1,165 million, it is cheaper than the $1,974 million two-lane bored tunnel option and $2,335 million three-lane bored tunnel option.[36]
Combined surface/tunnel alignment confirmed[edit]
On 11 September 2009 the NZTA Board confirmed the combined surface/tunnel alignment for the Waterview Connection. The Board is confident that the project's effects can be managed in a fair and reasonable way and that many of the community concerns can be addressed through good design. Over the next two months the NZTA will provide the Board with details on how a range of issues will be addressed,[37] including:
- the subsequent process of engagement to be adopted with respect to the community and other stakeholders;
- air quality effects;
- open space replacement and enhancement;
- noise mitigation;
- other environmental impacts;
- tunnel design options to minimise or remove the separation between the 'bored' and 'cut and cover tunnels;
- urban design – including cycle and walkway connections and access; and investigating a 'central interchange;[38]
Subject to board approval on 27 November 9 of a final design for the motorway, the NZTA will lodge a land designation application early next year with Auckland City, for a construction start in 2011-12 and completion in 2015.[39][40]
"Final" alignment confirmed[edit]
On 21 December 2009 the NZTA announced the tunnels would be built further east, as continuous tunnels without an (open) gap halfway and expressed confidence that they would be able to be completed within the original project budget. NZTA argued that this would be the most cost-effective option for constructing this section, and would require 205 houses to be bulldozed. Underground land will need to be purchased from 105 properties. The board had decided against including a central interchange at New North Road. Construction on the project was proposed to start in mid to late 2011 with an anticipated completion date in the 2015/16 financial year.[4]
The revised route map[41] shows road header constructed tunnels running from Alan Wood reserve opposite Range View / Stewart Roads, under the north end of Hendon Ave and under Pak 'n Save, continuing under the ends of Powell St & Craddock St, under the Phyllis St softball fields, under the Oakley Creek waterfall and reserve with a final section of cut & cover under Great North Rd and emerging in Waterview Park as per previous options.
"Road of National Significance" & Fast-tracking[edit]
In 2009, Steven Joyce, New Zealand's Minister of Transport, declared the project one of the "Roads of National Significance". Crucially, this step allowed the application to be considered by a new governmental body, the Environmental Protection Authority, a fast-track process which bypasses normal resource consent and Environment Court processes, in favour of a fixed 9-month process led by a "Board of Enquiry", whose decision cannot be appealed except on points of law. The decision to fast-track was cited as to avoid approval delays which had held up other projects for over 15 years, though local groups were pessimistic about their chance to achieve fair mitigation within the tight process.[42]
The tunnel sections will now be approximately 2.4 km long. Also included in the fast-tracked project was the decision to undertake significant capacity-related widening works on State Highway 16, which are outside of the Waterview area (from St Lukes Road interchange to beyond Te Atatu), which were bundled into the application process which consists of 54 resource consents and 7 designations.[43]
With around 40 folders of materials and plans to go through, local community groups expressed anger in October 2010 that they would only have four weeks to formulate submissions regarding the fast-tracked applications. Calls by Auckland City Council and an affected community board to extend the deadline were rejected, citing the tight statutory timeframe.[43]
Consent approvals[edit]
Process and hearing[edit]
The consenting process was (as of the end of 2010) continuing in parallel with the tendering process in order to save time (i.e. NZTA was assuming that the project will achieve consent largely as applied for). On 3 September 2010, NZTA's application for designation and resource consents for the Waterview Connection section of the Western Ring Route 'road of national significance project' was referred to a Board of Inquiry, chaired by Environment Court judge Laurie Newhook.[44]
The EPA publicly notified the application package on 18 September 2010, with the period for public submissions closing 15 October 2010.[45] Evidence needs to be produced and provided to NZTA by 17 December 2010. The Board of Inquiry hearing was to run February to April 2011 (actually taking 16 days of hearings until March), with a draft decision by the Board of Inquiry expected in May, with the final decision due by 20 June 2011. This was later slightly pushed out to 30 June.[44]
A number of matters came into public focus during the hearings process. One of them was the shape and locations of the two proposed ventilation shaft buildings near the northern and southern tunnel entries, and their likely effect on local visual amenity (with the shafts, at 25m-27m height, proposed to tower visibly over surrounding suburban areas) and local air pollution levels (where an indepependent report considered that the NZTA had been too optimistic in terms of pollution conditions during traffic jams and due to induced demand).[2][46] Other matters included effects on local neighbourhoods, even those were demolition was not expected, such as for several apartment buildings directly adjacent to a multi-year construction site.[47]
Board of Inquiry decision[edit]
On 9 May 2011 it was reported that the NZTA has been directed to, among other mitigation changes:[44]
- build the northern tunnel exhaust tower on the other (eastern) side of Great North Rd, further away from Waterview Primary School than planned - NZTA had opposed the change arguing extra costs of up to $29 million
- build the southern tunnel exhaust tower, in Owairaka, 70 to 80 metres southeast of the NZTA's preferred site, away from a narrow chokepoint in Alan Wood Reserve, requiring a short extension to the 2.5 km tunnels, also reducing the project's open space displacement - NZTA had opposed the change arguing extra costs of up to $21 million
- build the two towers to a height of "15 metres above ground - not more - not less"
- pay $8 million towards construction of a walk- and cycleway between Owairaka and Waterview, to mitigate open space loss by providing local connections for the communities
The draft decision on the overall project was released end of May 2011, confirming the matters of the earlier direction, with the final result not significantly different[44] when released end of June 2011.[48]
Community response[edit]
While community groups still expressed negative views about the motorway after the hearings process, many noted that they felt the tunneling (compared to a 2009 surface alignment) and the added mitigation prescribed on NZTA during the hearings process, had helped to make the result more acceptable for the local communities. While some described the process as a "David and Goliath" fight, most agreed that the Board of Inquiry had handled the process well, and listened to local concerns.[1][5][44]

Start of enabling works[edit]
In March 2010, NZTA announced that $10 million enabling works would start at the southeastern end of the route, diverting a sewer line and a tributary of Oakley Creek in preparation for the new Maioro St interchange. While the works will occur on land already designated as motorway, local groups were concerned that the move preempted the consenting process for the main alignment, which still was to happen at that stage.[49]
In October 2010 the NZTA signed a contract with Fletcher construction to complete stage 2 of the $40m project at the Maioro Street Interchange.[50] In November 2010, NZTA continue to negotiate the acquiring of the Faulkner Collins' factory and offices from Stoddard Rd in Mt Roskill under the public works act, in order to make way for the Maioro St interchange connection to Stoddard Rd. Faulkner Collins employees took turns sleeping at the factory, fearing the NZTA would change the locks during the night.[51][52][53]
Contract awarded[edit]
16 November 2010, NZTA announced the two shortlisted competitors to construct the project, being two alliances of companies, one jointly led by McConnell Dowell and Fletcher Construction and one led by Fulton Hogan in partnership with Australia's Leighton Contractors. A third consortium led by Baulderstone missed out on selection. As of May 2010, it was known that each of the two remaining tenderers had about 140-150 staff preparing bids for the project, and one tenderer, after the decision, noted that they had spent about $18 million preparing the bid. Construction start is expected to be before Christmas 2011.[5][54][55]
In mid-2011, it was announced that the 'Well Connected' consortium led by Fletcher Construction had won the tender, for $1.3 billion.[55] The consortium also includes McConnell Dowell Obayashi Corporation, PB New Zealand, Beca Infrastructure and Tonkin + Taylor. The consortium includes five sub-alliance partners and contractors: SICE, Wilson Tunnelling, Downer EDI Works, Boffa Miskell and Warren and Mahoney. The consortium works on the alliance model, in which financial risks and incentives are shared among all partners.
Construction by Earth Pressure Balance TBM[edit]
Construction of the tunnels will be via a 14m diameter 'Earth Pressure Balance' Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) which will bore the twin tunnels (in two subsequent passes) as deep as 45 metres beneath the surface, to pass below the hard-rock legacy of the region's volcanic activity, the water table and sea level. This replaces the previously favoured road header and rock bolting style of tunnelling from the design and tendering phase. The TBM will be the 11th largest machine of this type in the world.[56] Cutterhead diameter will be 14.53m, the 10th largest ever built. Concrete lining outer diameter 14.1m, internal diameter 13.1m. The 12 metre-long shield will arrive in NZ in 8 pieces, collectively weighing 2300 tonnes. TBM is made up of 90 pieces, total length 97m, top speed 80mm/minute, built at the Herrenknecht factory, Guangzhou, China and cost NZ$50M. Due to arrive in Auckland July 2013, reassembled at the southern tunnel portal and begin tunnelling in October 2013.[57][58][59]
While press releases state that the project will be completed by 2016, the construction programme shows tunneling being complete by April 2017.[60][61]
Proposal to relocate northern vent stack[edit]
The construction consortium in December 2011 proposed to relocate the northern stack from the east side of Great North Rd, to the north side of Herdman Street. As the Earth Pressure Balance TBM can bore much shallower to the surface than techniques assumed during the design phase, the cut and cover tunneling technique is not required below Great North Road. This means a duct below Gt North Rd to a stack on the east side could not be constructed at the same time as the tunnels. The northern location for the stack had been studied earlier but dismissed because of greater cost, and the location had also created concerns among locals due to greater visual effects than that finally chosen by the Board of Inquiry.[62]
Enabling Works January–June 2012[edit]
Enabling works will start in January 2012 between the Maioro Street interchange and Alan Wood Reserve and include:
- Establishment activities (e.g. construction zone fencing /project and way-finding signage)
- Removal of properties from within designation
- Construction of two temporary soccer fields (senior and junior), ablution block and a temporary car park at Valonia Street (with field drainage and grass seeding from March 2012)
- Site access for heavy vehicles from Richardson Rd (and 8m-wide haul road west through Hendon Park)
- Construction of temporary stream crossings (for construction vehicle access)
- Excavation and temporary diversion (until summer 2013) of a section of Oakley Creek adjacent to the sports fields to facilitate their construction
- Excavation of new stream channels in Alan Wood Reserve and temporary diversion of sections of Oakley Creek into the new alignment in late summer
- Diversion of utility services around Richardson Road to enable the construction of a road diversion after June 2012
- Temporary realignment of Richardson Road (from June 2012) while building new Richardson Rd bridge.[63]
Local electricity distribution company Vector also carried out enabling works to supply electricity to the tunnel portal sites for construction, and included:[64]
- Installing an 11 kV feeder line from the Chevalier zone substation on Great North Road to the northern portal site to supply the northern portal during construction.
- Installing a 33 kV capable, 22 kV operating, underground cable from the Avondale zone substation on Blockhouse Bay Road to the southern portal site to supply the southern portal and the TBM during construction. This also involved installing a 33 kV capable switchboard at Avondale to connect the tunnel supply to the two 22 kV cables feeding Avondale zone substation from the national grid at Mount Roskill.
- Installing a new 11 kV local feeder line from Chevalier zone substation to the Waterview area, to transfer some existing load off Avondale zone substation, as Avondale can't supply both the TBM and its existing load without overloading.
- Installing a second 22/11 kV transformer at the Chevalier zone substation, as the existing transformer cannot supply the northern portal and Waterview feeder lines without overloading.
Southern Portal works[edit]
Beginning July 2012[61]
Northern Portal works and Great North Road Interchange[edit]
Beginning May 2013[61] (note that works at the northern end will not initially involve tunnel boring)
A TBM launch ceremony was held on 31 October and tunneling began on 8 November 2013.[65] The southbound tunnel, excavated from south to north, was holed through on 29 September 2014.[66] The TBM was disassembled and then reassembled to begin tunneling from the northern end of the northbound tunnel. Tunneling is scheduled for completion by April 2017.[61]

A number of not directly motorway-related projects will form part of the SH20 connection works, either to mitigate negative effects on the environment, or to provide for other transport modes.
Avondale–Southdown railway line[edit]
Enabling works and allowance for the Avondale–Southdown Line are a part of constructing SH20.[67][68] KiwiRail sees this route as strategically important as it is the only real alternative cross-isthmus heavy rail route to the existing Newmarket Line, the further upgrading of which is not realistically feasible or possible. KiwiRail request that any tunnel construction does not preclude rail above it in the future, including the possibility of rail being trenched to cross below New North Road to connect to the existing North Auckland Line.[69]
Passive Open Space[edit]
Passive open space will be lost during construction of the motorway to construction lay down areas and lost permanently where the motorway & associated structures are built. NZTA has proposed replacement passive open space below & around the Waterview interchange ramps, and the existing privately owned empty site adjoining Alan Wood reserve & future surface motorway.[70]
Active Open Space[edit]
The existing fields at Waterview Park and Alan Wood Reserve will be lost. NZTA propose to construct new fields adjacent to the Waterview interchange, and above the tunnel entrances at Alan Wood Reserve. These would likely be used as construction lay down areas during construction.[70] During the project Expo's, NZTA had proposed to develop additional fields at Phyllis St for use during the construction period but this was dropped for the EPA submission.[71]
Walkways and cycleways[edit]
Documents shown during the public consultation phase in early 2010 showed a proposed walkway and cycleway generally following the line of the motorway / tunnel alignment, connecting the existing SH16 Cycleway with the end of the then-existing SH20 Cycleway, including a walking/cycling bridge over Oakley Creek at Phyllis Street.[71][72] However, at lodgement time in 2010, NZTA clarified that it would only build cycleways along the sections that are not located in a tunnel, leaving the potential for a connecting cycleway between SH16 and SH20 in doubt.[73]
After a several-months-long hearing process, the Board of Inquiry in mid-2011 however came to the decision that a walkway and cycleway along the tunnel alignment was a required mitigation for open space loss in the areas around both tunnel portals (though not technically as transport mitigation), and that NZTA will have to pay for (though not build) the facility.[44] Cycling advocates Cycle Action Auckland lauded the decision as a resounding win for cycling in Auckland, and a key part in making the Waterview Connection into a truly multi-modal project. The approximate route of the cycleway will be from near Alford Street in Waterview, crossing a new bridge over Oakley Creek, then through Phyllis Reserve, before crossing to Allan Woods Reserve in New Windsor/Owairaka via a new bridge over the rail line at Soljak Place.[73]
The bridge from Soljak Place over the railway to Harbutt reserve is the first priority of the Alan Wood Reserve / Soljak Place to Waterview area cycleway, public consultation to be undertaken early 2012.[74]
Maioro Street to New Lynn[edit]
As part of the SH20 Mt Roskill extension, NZTA widened Maioro Street from two to four lanes, completed mid-2009.[75] The Auckland City Council was responsible for widening the remaining route to New Lynn, i.e. New Windsor Road, Tiverton Road and Wolverton Road.[76] While it completed some widening of Tiverton Road in 2007, Council deferred completing any more widening until 2015–2020.[77] In late 2011, Auckland Transport called for expressions of interest from contractors to complete the works. Construction was expected to start in the first half of 2012 subject to tender and NZTA funding, and take up to two years to complete.[78] On 17 April 2012 Auckland Transport announced that NZTA will fund 53% of the project.[79]

I'm trying to store fullcalendar selected date and restore it after postback. I get this date from Session via ajax and then use this code:
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('gotoDate', selectedDate);
It works fine if selectedDate is not in default view - all events are shown after load. But if selected date is in default view - I get empty calendar without events.
For example, if now it's july, 30 (Fri) and I use agendaWeek, I see by default the week starts at july,26, ends at Aug,1st. So if July,26 <= selectedDate <= Aug,1, i get empty calendar after gotoDate. But if selectedDate > Aug,1 || selectedDate < July,26, it's work fine.
Please help. Thanks

Rank and Mecca Bingo Decide To Take Guoco's Offer?
It has been less than a month since Rank recommended that its shareholders ignore the bid from Guoco and look out for something bigger. According to reports, it was a 150p per share bid, something that was evidently below the market value.
Looking at the advice given by Rank to against the bid, one would think that the company is not supportive of the deal but just a while back Rank decided to take the offer from Guoco, an investment firm hailing from Malaysia.
Many of the parties involved in the Rank Group are still not in favour of the Guoco `bid, however, the unanimous agreement was based on the fact that if they failed to take the offer from Guoco, they would jeopardize the company's stance with the shareholders. When the company is not doing so well, the right way to go about it is doing a bit of damage control and that is exactly the approach Rank is taking.
The public opinion of Rank, which also owns Mecca Bingo, has so far been skeptical and the group has released its performance results for the year 2011 and the revenue has increased by 4%. An increase in revenue in the given economic condition is certainly a positive thing and Rank feels that this will give them their edge back to take charge again, however, it is not that simple.
The future of the Rank Group looks quite ambiguous and even more so when it comes to Mecca Bingo, considering it is one of the biggest bingo players in the market. Will Mecca Bingo sell itself without a fight? We'll have to wait and watch.

Six Against the Stars (Omnibus: Book 1 & 2)
DESCRIPTION As the self-proclaimed biggest coward in the galaxy, Horatio has it easy on what passes for 40th century America. A much-favoured sycophant in the court of the King of Earth, Horatio lives in a genetically engineered paradise where there's a vat-grown slave waiting around every marble column with a bunch of grapes to drop into his oh-so perfectly designed mouth. Unfortunately for Horatio, the artificial intelligence that rules the great mass of humanity spread across the stars has other plans for this feckless seducer. So, if you ever wonder how the galaxy's biggest coward finds himself actually trying to save it, you're not alone... but then, unfortunately, neither is our hero! His misadventures are abetted by a psychotic Martian warrior, a robot who thinks it's related to Sherlock Holmes, a beautiful genetically enhanced assassin, a scientist with a computer for a brain, and a millennia-old clone who was alive when the last U.S. President was executed by a firing squad. It's six against the galaxy. Six against the stars. They'll save the universe... but they might damage it first. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ABOUT THE AUTHOR Stephen Hunt is the creator of the 'Jackelian' series, now on its 6th book, published across the world via HarperCollins alongside their other fantasy authors, George R.R. Martin, J.R.R. Tolkien, Raymond E. Feist and C.S. Lewis. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> REVIEWS Praise for Stephen Hunt's novels: Hunt's imagination is probably visible from space.

Our sensor gets attached to a place's entrance, measures anonymous movement as people come and go, and generates real-time and historical data that can be integrated anywhere.
"After adding Density, we saw as much as a 950% increase in site traffic to supported locations. Our users love it."
- Darren Buckner, Workfrom CEO
"We've been trying to solve this problem for years."
- Mihir Patil, Associated Students of University of California
We install sensors across your network of locations (ex. a set of small businesses, a college campus, or museum). Real-time movement data is collected, organized, and made available to your developers through the Density API.
Workfrom is a list of great places to do remote work and a growing community of remote workers. Their best spots get very busy. Density measures real-time seating capacity in popular places and Workfrom integrates our data directly into their website.Learn more
Requested is a startup out of Sacramento, CA. Their users can request discounts at popular restaurants. When Density notices foot traffic has been slow for too long, it will automatically accept a certain discount. Density automates a manual process and helps Requested drive business to a restaurant when they need it most.Learn more
In Berkeley, CA, a team is adding Density to school gyms and workspaces. From anywhere on campus, students will be able to see if a popular place is busy or quiet. Apparently, "How full is the gym?" is a problem they've been trying to solve for years.Learn more
Density uses infrared light to measure movement. By design, Density cannot capture any personally identifiable information about consumers.
Video cameras use facial recognition software to collect personal data about you. It is an expensive technology that can invade consumer privacy.
Break beam sensors are often non-networked. They print their count on an attached, analog read-out. Networked units exist but are expensive and inflexible.
Inventory is limited. Access will be given to select partners.

- Added in-app purchase for removing ads
Customer Reviews
Thanks Eric!!!
Eric, great job on this app. It will make a huge difference in the work that I do. The one and only thing that stops me from giving your app the five star rating is the fact that it doesn't function when the iDevice is put into sleep mode. If it could do that, you'd have five stars all the way AND I'd pay for it if you charged for it. This is an excellent app. What would it take to get a private custom version that automatically emailed five minute chunks to a preset email address?
New Compact Audio Champion With Auto Pause
Been testing numerous free audio recording apps and this tops the list for lowest sample and bit rates. Bit Rate: 16 kbps, Sample Rate: 8kHz making a one minute two second test recording in 140 KB. So we're looking at about 7 MB per hour vs 8.7 MB per hour via VoCal XL. Beats VoCal XL by about 30 KB per minute. One minute flat in VoCal XL set to Low is 165 KB. Both AAC files but AutoMic Infinity uses even smaller bit and sample rates than VoCal XL - still plenty for voice.
Plus this program has auto pause when the speaker doesn't say anything. I tested the auto pause part and it flawlessly resumes recording including the first word to break the silence. And these AAC recordings pass the iTunes and Tags import-export test. I'm thrilled to report a resounding recommendation for this awesome voice recording app.
Minus is that it doesn't keep recording in the background when you go to another app during a recording session. Wish it would.

Oscars $45,000 goodie bag gives stars an Australian holiday, facelift and even CONDOMS
- Gift bags will be handed out to all nominees and presenters worth £45,000
- Known as swag bags items include facelifts, treatments and holidays
- Bags have been put together by US company Distinctive Assets
It is one of the most coveted awards in showbusiness.
But even the stars who don't win a Oscar at this weekend's ceremony won't go home empty handed.
A Los Angeles-based marketing firm will be handing out gift bags worth £45,000 to all the nominees and presenters at the prestigious event on Sunday night.
Ticket to paradise: Even losers at this weekend's Oscars will be winners with a goodie bag that includes a trip to Lizard Island resort on the Great Barrier Reef, pictured, which would usually cost £2,500
Everyone's a winner: A holiday to the Lizard Island resort on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, comes free for stars at this weekend's Oscars, even those who do not win an award
Large 'swag bag': The LA based firm Distinctive Assets will be offering guests at the ceremony a collection like this one, from last year, worth more than $45,000
Free hair products: The 'swag bags' also contain organic shampoo from Phyto
Known as swag bags, among the items included are trips to Australia, Hawaii and Mexico, personal training sessions, condoms, a bottle of tequila, cosmetic treatments, acupuncture sessions and a one-year membership to London's Heathrow Airport's private VIP service.
The confirmation of condoms in this year's gift bag has raised eyebrows amongst some.
Guests will also be invited to enjoy four night stays at the exclusive Lizard Island resort on the Great Barrier Reef, which would usually cost £2,500.
They will also be given free hair care products by Phyto, skincare cosmetics by Lierac, a free £600 facelift procedure and, at the lower end of the scale, a £2 bottle of Windex glass cleaning fluid.
It has become something of a
tradition for A-list stars to receive a treasure chest of goodies at the
Brands and manufacturers hope that the celebrities will be seen wearing or using their products and ensure free publicity.
Everyone's a winner: Among the items in the gift bags are bottles of tequila and condoms
The gift bags have been put
together over the past 11 years by US company Distinctive Assets, with
the cost of the packages having slowly risen.
In 2003, nominees received £11,000 worth of items, including mobile phones, cameras, designer clothes and jewellery.
The 2004 gift bag included a
holiday at a luxury resort in Mexico.
Gwyneth Paltrow, who presented an award at the Oscars that year, was said to have used the holiday for her honeymoon with Coldplay singer Chris Martin.
Pressies: Gwyneth Paltrow (left) is said to have used one of the holidays for her honeymoon with Chris Martin while Calista Flockhart loved a T-shirt so much she wore it in an episode of Ally McBeal
Glam: Los Angeles firm Distinctive Assets will hand out its annual goodie bags at this year's Oscars
Actress Calista Flockhart once received a Dritti T-shirt in a gift basket from Distinctive Assets and loved it so much that she wore it for an entire episode of Ally McBeal.
Similarly, another T-shirt designer saw their gifts end up on Beyonce Knowles on the cover of Ebony magazine.
In recent years, stars are said to have been worried about alienating recession-hit fans by being seen with heavily laden gift bags.
However, Lord of the Rings actor Sir Ian McKellen is one of the stars who has spoken of his delight at his gift haul.
Luxurious: Presents include trips to Australia (pictured), Hawaii and Mexico
'They're the most wonderful goodies,' he explained. 'They keep you going for a year.'
Lash Fry, founder of Distinctive
Assets, said: 'It's first come, first served, because we do offer
product exclusivity.
'We're always looking for new and unusual products, it's not always about the most expensive.
'We've got things at both ends of the spectrum and everything in between, stuff for guys and stuff for girls. More is more is our philosophy.'

If people agree I would suggest adding a > plCloseFile to parallel plOpenFile which checks if the output is to > stdout before calling fclose. It is good to get this all cleaned up, but this appears to me to be a long shot. (Of course, the alternative explanation I discuss below might also be a long shot so we have to keep an open mind and fix what we can.) The reason why I think it is a long shot is valgrind results were specifically saying that very few open file descriptors were left at exit, and in any case when x10c exits, doesn't it restore all resources that are left at exit time (e.g., by closing the still open file descriptors)? So for this scenario to work, I think you would have to argue that while x10c is running it is consuming a lot of resources (a high watermark) that are mostly restored to the system before exit time and which are completely restored to the system by the exit. However, if each run of x10c simply has a high watermark in any resource that exceeds system limits why doesn't the first run show the issue rather than the ~900th? Anyhow, I think it is more likely that some system resource is being permanently consumed (rather than a high watermark) by each run of x10c so that Hazen's system runs out of resources by the ~900th run of x10c. If my above hypothesis is correct that x10c returns all resources it directly uses at exit, then the only ones that could accumulate are the ones it indirectly consumes by calling on-going system servers such as X. And this interpretation seems to be supported by Hazen finding that exiting another application (firefox) allowed a hung x10c to complete, although it than hung again the next time it was called. Hazen, have you double-checked yet that isGUI is false for your latest tests? Of course, even if isGUI is false, QApplication may partially or totally ignore that so it still may be using up some X resource shared with firefox. Alternatively, the consumed resource shared with firefox may not be in X, but in some other system server. Anyhow, the next time you run the test, I suggest you look carefully at the results made by striking the "M" key while in top to sort the top results by memory usage. If I do that here, the top memory hog is the X server PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3733 root 20 0 650m 225m 6424 S 0 11.2 191:27.66 Xorg and I would be interested in your top equivalent memory hogs when running the test. My system has 6GB of virtual memory (swap partition) and 2GB of real memory so the above 650M total and 225M resident consumed by Xorg is not an issue on my platform at all.

Creating Caring and Capable Boards: Reclaiming the Passion for Active Trusteeship / Edition 1by Katherine Tyler Scott, Katherine Tyler Scott, Bernard Scott
Pub. Date: 02/22/2000
Publisher: Wiley
There are millions of people who serve on nonprofit boards each year. As trustees, they must not only lead their organizations to success but also act with knowledge, wisdom, and a deep regard for the common good. This unique book recognizes that trustee leadership must achieve far more than administrative and fiduciary success: instead, it offers a new vision
There are millions of people who serve on nonprofit boards each year. As trustees, they must not only lead their organizations to success but also act with knowledge, wisdom, and a deep regard for the common good. This unique book recognizes that trustee leadership must achieve far more than administrative and fiduciary success: instead, it offers a new vision of trustee leadership that embodies caring, effective governance. Written for board members, nonprofit executives, and leadership consultants, Creating Caring and Capable Boards presents a new and proven model of board leadership—one that can be used to educate boards and staff in the philosophy of service. This leadership model can also serve as a framework for implementing strategies more effectively. Based on more than ten years of practical experience, this step-by-step process can help new and experienced trustees to refine their understanding of the organizational mission while improving their ability to lead cohesively. Author Katherine Tyler Scott also explores the historical context of board service, explains the duties of board trustees, and offers straightforward exercises for real-world application. For years, this approach was only available in workshops conducted by Trustee Leadership Development, Inc. Now boards and nonprofit teams can refer to a single, reliable source for thoughtful advice and the latest insights on trustee leadership. Much more than a guide, this groundbreaking book invites boards to renew their commitment to improving the social sector through caring and competent leadership."This book captures exquisitely the heart, mind, and spirit of leadership. With powerful insight and grace, Katherine Tyler Scott renews the fabric of American life in our communities; she shows us how we can recover that which is most precious and vulnerable in our society—trust. Creating Caring and Capable Boards will inspire anyone seeking to create meaning and value through leadership. I

Photo Credit: Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images After a solid but unspectacular 22-game taste of NFL football – three receptions and 41 yards per game – Michael Floyd is a strong candidate to emerge in the Cardinals final ten contests. Floyd has been targeted at least six times in each week (high of ten), finally breaking the touchdown "schneid" last week at San Francisco. With a 30-year old and injury strapped Larry Fitzgerald still occupying double coverage, the 6'2 220 pounder will have frequent one-on-one mismatches. As he continues to develop, opportunities will be replaced by results. He's got the right mentor to utilize his physical canvas and Fitz could certainly benefit from having a consistent sidekick.

I'm having a problem getting my Yoast plugin to work.
The dropdown isn't working in posts and pages anymore. Here is a screenshot of what I get now. Click here
The only thing I can think of is that I just recently activated cloudflare and did a couple of tweaks to my W3 Cache. I turned those off and still can't get Yoast to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
