Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Gold Fields Third Quarter Results. [Operator Instructions] Please also note that this conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to Nick Holland. Please go ahead, sir.
Nicholas John Holland
Thank you very much, Dylan, and good afternoon or good morning, depending on where you are today. Thanks for joining me for this call to discuss Gold Field's results for the March quarter of 2013. Also with me today is our CFO, Mr. Paul Schmidt. This was certainly an eventful quarter for Gold Fields, and I'm going to briefly touch on some of the highlights, and we'll leave some time for your questions.
The March quarter was the first full quarter that the operations of Gold Fields and Sibanye were effectively managed as separate entities by their respective management teams, although the actual separation only took place and was finalized on the 11th of February 2013 with the distribution finalized on the 18th of February.
When you look at our results book, you'll see that the results for KDC and Beatrix, which technically formed part of the Gold Fields Group until the unbundling of Sibanye Gold, are shown under the heading Discontinued Operations in the accounts. However, these results have no impact on the overall group results as the contribution from Sibanye for the quarter was included in the distribution of the Sibanye shares. We're not going to talk about any of the Sibanye results for those 2 months, and you will notice that the commentary in the book also does not include any comments on those results. So if you do have any questions on Sibanye, I would respectfully request that you report them through to Mr. Neal Froneman and his team at Sibanye.
The group's operational performance during March quarter was in line with the guidance provided for the full year if one annualizes the production results and also the cost results. The quarter also saw significant further progress on the restructuring and refocusing of the group for cash generation, in line with the outcomes of the portfolio review completed in late 2012 and announced on 14th of February 2013. The envisaged on-mine interventions, which are referred to on our last call, were implemented during the quarter or at the end of the previous quarter. And these included the closing down of marginal production at Tarkwa, St. Ives and Agnew in order to improve the overall margin per ounce.
Looking at the results itself for quarter 1, attributable gold production declined by 11% from 534,000 ounces in the December quarter to 477,000 ounces in the March quarter, which was planned and largely the result of shutting down the marginal production I have mentioned earlier. The lower output, as I've mentioned earlier, is also in line with guidance for the full year if you annualize it. Total cash costs were impacted by lower group productions and partially offset by an 8% decline in net operating costs from $451 million in the December quarter to $401 million in the March quarter. And the net effect of the lower production combined with the lower cost resulted in a 5% increase in total cash costs from $798 per ounce to $819 per ounce.
Notional cash expenditure, which includes the capitalized costs for projects in the growth portfolio and is the true measure of the cost of producing an ounce of gold, decreased from $1,355 per ounce at the December quarter to $1,291 per ounce in the March quarter. This decline was due to lower operating costs referred to above, as well as reduced capital expenditure during the quarter, which was partially offset by lower production.
As a consequence of the above factors, the NCE margin for the group increased from 20% to 21% for the quarter, and both total cash cost and NCE for the March quarter are either below or in line with the guidance provided for the full year.
I'd now like to just focus briefly on the individual mines and then the growth projects. At South Deep, the project produced 63,000 ounces of gold in the quarter, similar to the previous quarter, and that was despite the Christmas break, the impact of which is always felt in the March quarter. And although South Deep has implemented a new operating model in November 2012, the preexisting longer Christmas break was honored. Next year, a shorter Christmas break will apply under the new operating model. So in January, we effectively only had about half a month's production for South Deep.
The March 2013 quarter was the first quarter that South Deep operated for the full quarter under the new operating model, and the full benefits of this new way of working still need to be fully realized. Nonetheless, the trends are positive, and we had record ore tonnes mined of over 200,000 tonnes during the March month and bearing in mind the full production in 2016 is slated to be at 330,000 tonnes. So that indicates that with that kind of performance, we're almost 2/3 of the way there in terms of our tonnage output. Certainly, we're making progress.
At West Africa, Tarkwa's production declined from 187,000 ounces, as planned, in the December quarter to 170,000 ounces in the March quarter. And this was because of the cessation of ore stacking at the high-cost South Heap Leach facility, which we announced in February of this year, together with the decline in grade to reserve grades, which is also expected. At Damang production was unchanged at 44,000 ounces.
Worth noting is that after the close of the quarter, we had some illegal industrial action in Ghana, which saw us lose 6 days of production at both Tarkwa and Damang, and the impact of that is going to be around a 20,000-ounce reduction in production in the June quarter. Fortunately, these issues have since been resolved, and I can gladly report to you that production is back to normal levels.
Australia, at St. Ives production was 102,000 ounces for the quarter, again, down from 111,000 ounces in the previous quarter, as expected, and in line with our guidance for the full year. And this decline was due to the closure of the heap leach operations at the end of December. Again, these were very high-cost operations, very low margin, and we took the decision to close it. Agnew produced 44,000 ounces, down from 54,000 ounces in the previous quarter, which is in line with what we expected given the withdrawal from the higher-cost and lower-grade Rajah and Main lodes also announced in February 2013. And that's resulted in a significant improvement in the operating and NCE margins at Agnew.
In South America, Cerro Corona produced 77,000 ounces of gold equivalent compared to 98,000 ounces in the December quarter. Again, this decline was expected and in line with lower gold and copper grades, which are now approaching those very similar to the reserve grades published in the recent declaration in 2012. In fact, that declaration went out -- was part of the annual report in 2013 March.
Wage negotiations in Ghana and South Africa are worth mentioning in that we moved into negotiations in both of those jurisdictions. And as always, I think these negotiations will be challenging for us, particularly so in South Africa. In Ghana, wages make up around about 10% of our cost, so we're less exposed to wage increases there. But in South Deep, they make up around about 40% of our costs. Obviously, I can't tell you at this stage what the negotiations is going to look like. We haven't yet received the wage demands, but it's clear that we cannot afford to continue giving double-digit wage increases with declining productivity, which has certainly been a trend over the last 10 years. And this is the year that we really do need to factor productivity to any kind of settlement in order that we can increase the size of the cake and not actually be bickering over how we divvy up a declining cake. And that's the theme that I'll certainly be giving our unions and our negotiating team as they enter into the negotiations, which we hope will start towards the end of May.
Looking at the growth portfolio now. We've had a significant refocus of the growth portfolio, which reflects, we believe, the smaller size of the company, the reduced cash-generating ability, for the present time, at least, while South Deep rolls up, and also, the outcomes of the portfolio resume. Growth is nonetheless very important, and greenfields exploration has been cut, but we'll still be spending $80 million, 8-0 million dollars, in 2013. And we're going to be looking to spend that money in and around our regions, focusing on the Americas and West Africa and the primary purpose and looking for opportunities for us to get smaller higher-grade mines, which are more capital-efficient and quicker to bring to production.
I believe that the focus in the past on very significant large deposits, in particular, the porphyry-type deposits, which are typically very big, capital-intensive, I'm going to need to rethink in terms of the Gold Fields strategy. So we're quite happy to discover and develop much smaller operations, even though it might be 100,000 ounces a year. Provided they make money, it's not a problem for us.
Near-mine exploration is also being curtailed from $65 million in 2012 to around $28 million in 2013, with the focus being on the most prospective short to medium-term targets in and around our mines. And the key focus here is to make sure that we can continue to replace ounces as we mine them each year and upgrade the quality of the portfolio at the same time.
In terms of capital and evaluation projects, also, the expenditure here and the activities are under review, as I mentioned earlier, and we're looking to reduce our spend in materials as well. In fact, as we speak, we're looking at how best we could curtail some of our expenditure and channel it in those projects that are more likely in the short to medium term to be successful projects, and then taking a slow-burn approach on the other projects. What I will do now briefly is deal with where we are in some of these projects.
First of all, Chucapaca in Peru, a project in which we have a 51% interest and all the operators. As you've heard earlier, the feasibility study completed last year didn't give us a viable return. And as a consequence, we've gone back to a scoping study level. And this study is looking at various options, including the possibility of an underground operation, which will be a lot smaller, focusing on the higher grade, as well as additional exploration on adjacent targets. And we're also considering the possibility of a smaller open pit. It's too early to comment on the likelihood of success in any of these particular options, but we'll keep you updated as the work progresses.
At the Far Southeast project in the Philippines, the focus remains on limited surface geotechnical drilling as that's very important input since the pre-feasibility study that we have to conduct into the future. But predominantly, on activities and at securing the Free Prior and Informed Consent from the indigenous peoples, which is a prerequisite for obtaining a Foreign Technical Assistance Agreement, an FTAA, which allows foreigners to earn a majority interest in Philippines projects. This process is expected to slow down somewhat due to the pending elections in the Philippines scheduled for the last quarter of this year. So it's difficult to give you an indication as to when we hope to secure these permits.
At the Arctic Platinum project in Finland, the addition of the Suhanko North deposits brings the overall resource for the project to over 200 million tonnes for almost 1 million ounces of gold, 2.5 million ounces of platinum, almost 10 million ounces of palladium and 1 million pounds of copper and almost 0.5 million pounds of nickel. Clearly, a large, very prospective project. The pre-feasibility study is close to completion, and we'll make a decision on the way forward before the end of the year. And we're not so sure what that decision will be at this stage, but my primary objective here is to work out how we can valuize this project for the benefit of shareholders. Whether or not that means redevelopment still depends on how we see all the various outcomes in the best way forward. We'll keep you posted on that.
In Yanfolila in Mali, which is a project in the southwest corner or virtually on the border with Guinea, we've got some really good news there in that, that project has doubled its resource to 1.4 million ounces. That's also advanced to a resource development stage during the quarter, and we're looking at this project in terms of whether it could be fast-tracked to a development decision possibly by the end of the year, particularly given the fairly low technical risk of the project. We do understand the ore body very well. We drilled it out extensively. We've done over 100,000 meters of drilling. We've done also extensive metallurgical test work. We understand all of the characteristics of the ore. So we're going to be doing some more in-fill drilling just to get a closer resolution on the ore body, getting more of it into a proven and probable level. And then we'll do some additional work on technical environment with social impact studies. And we'll do all that work and see where we stand at the end of the year. Of course, all of that is good and well, but we'll have to monitor political developments in that country because that will be key to any decision that we may take. Fortunately, the location of the project is far away from the areas that have been subject to the unrest. We're about 400 kilometers southwest of Anaka. And of course, as most of you will know, most of the activity has taken place 400 to 500 kilometers north of Anaka. So we're a long way away from activities, and other mines in the country have been virtually unaffected during the unrest. Again, we'll update you on this towards the end of the year.
I think a final word on the issue that probably concerns all of us beyond anything else is the gold price and, of course, the impact on our business. As you know, we have, over the past 6 months, been making a lot of interventions across our activities, which will stand us in good stead. In some respects, it's been fortuitous that we've done all the things that we've done over the last 6 months.
Given the decline in the gold price, there's probably more work for us to do, but I believe that Gold Fields is in good shape to withstand low gold prices, potentially lower gold prices than where we are today. I think we can certainly withstand gold prices lower than spot, and we're set up to do that.
It's hard to predict where the gold price is going in the short term, but we believe that the fundamentals in the long term remain strongly supportive of higher gold prices. I think the important thing now is for us to hunker down and make sure that we can emerge from this tough period intact and with our operational leverage still available for shareholders in the event that higher gold prices eventuate.
And with that, I'm going to conclude by thanking you for joining us today and leave time for us to deal with questions that you may have. Thank you.
Question-and-Answer Session
[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from Patrick Chidley from the HSBC.
Patrick T. Chidley - HSBC, Research Division
First question goes on Chucapaca, just a little follow up there on what the options might be. Can you remind us what the grade of the previous plan was going to be in terms of the larger open pit? And then can you maybe outline how big the higher-grade area might be that could be underground mineable and just a bit more detail about what might happen there?
Nicholas John Holland
Yes. The grade, on a gold equivalent basis, because there is a little bit of copper and silver in the deposit, there's about 1.8 grams per ton gold, bearing in mind that we had around about 7.6 million ounces there. So what we're looking at within that envelope, there are some high-grade sections within that ore body. And we're looking at seeing whether we could develop a much higher grade than that underground operation. But we're still modeling that work at the moment, so we don't have the final results of that. But I guess we should be finished with that analysis in about a 3-month period from here, and then we'll assess whether, in fact, that still works, taking into account we still have enabling capital on the site and there is other capital and whether, in fact, this operation can support what would be a significantly lower-volume operation than what we were contemplating in the feasibility study. The feasibility study, Patrick, was contemplating a 30,000-tonne-a-day plant. So this would be a lot lower than that but obviously, much higher grade. And whether or not this is going to translate into a viable project with all technicals, it's too early, I'm afraid, to give you a view on that. But you'd be looking at much, much higher grade than what I've given you there for the original study.
Patrick T. Chidley - HSBC, Research Division
So that's possible to actually go down to just a smaller resource that has a much higher grade, I don't know, underground mineable grades, let's say.
Nicholas John Holland
Yes. Technically, it could be possible. Now whether or not this is going to be economic, we still have to see. But technically. we're stress-testing it. We may have to do some more drilling to firm that up because I think we need a tighter resolution of drilling, particularly on the high-grade areas. And we're doing all that work. And that might be the start of a modular process, where we start that and then we graduate to something bigger over time. The other thing is there are other ore bodies in the area of interest that we might look at, and there's another interesting exploration play within 2 kilometers of what is actually Canahuire. We refer to Canahuire as Chucapaca, but Chucapaca has actually got about 4 or 5 targets. And there's another target that we're looking at drilling, which may also provide some additional flexibility. So there's a number of options here, but I can't give you any guarantee that we'll be successful at this stage on any of them.
Patrick T. Chidley - HSBC, Research Division
Right. And just the order, is it refractory or...
Nicholas John Holland
No. There's an element of that there, and that's why we have to put it through 2-stage processing. It's got copper. It's got silver. So recoveries are not easy. You don't get sort of 90%, 95% recoveries. You're getting much lower recoveries because of the refractory nature of the ore body. So it does make it somewhat more complex, together with the fact that the material is quite hard to dip. So the processing is complex. We have to float, first of all, and then we have to process the gold in residue through a CIL. So we actually recover gold in concentrate form and recover gold in CIL form, in bar form. So the process is complex, and we'll have to look at that, too.
Patrick T. Chidley - HSBC, Research Division
Okay. And final question is just on regional consolidation opportunities. Now are you considering any sort of consolidation deals maybe around your current operations?
Nicholas John Holland
Look, I think one always is looking for opportunities for consolidation if it makes sense. And again, it's always down to where you can get to a sensible deal with the vendors. I think with the tightness in the gold market and balance sheets under pressure, funding drying up, I think people will be more amenable to that as time goes by. But we'll see. You've got to be opportunistic with these things, and there's no guarantees.
[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from Igor Gladyr of BMO Capital Markets.
Igor Gladyr - BMO Capital Markets Canada
I have a few operations-related questions. Just the first one is on Tarkwa. With the closure of your South Heap Leach operations, how should we think about the expected heap leach stacking rates going forward?
Nicholas John Holland
Well, I think you should look at the historical rates that we had on the north facilities, at least for the next year or so. And that means that we're stacking at the order of about 8 million tonnes a year. We believe that we can continue to do that on the North heaps. The South heaps were much smaller than that. So 8 million tonnes will go through the heaps going forward, and we'll still be putting about 12 million tonnes through the CIL plant. And we'll certainly be doing that for 2013 and 2014. We are looking at different options of processing in the future. We've been considering whether we move to another CIL plant. At this stage, that work has not been concluded, and we continue to evaluate those options. But for 2013, that's what you should be thinking about.
Igor Gladyr - BMO Capital Markets Canada
Okay. And just moving on to South Deep, just as the operation ramps up to full capacity in 2016, what sort of tonnages and grades can we expect between sort of in 2013 through 2015?
Nicholas John Holland
Well, I think you've got to basically look at a steep buildup in 2014 and '15 between where we are now. We've set guidance this year. It's going to be around 315,000 ounces for this year. The year thereafter will have a fairly significant increase and then another big increase in 2015. So you should probably be looking at a linear relationship between what we're saying this year and 2016. That's probably the best way to characterize it. Now tonnes this year, we're looking to average reef tonnes each month of somewhere around about 170,000 reef tonnes a month for this year. And then next year, that will average over 200,000 reef tonnes. And then for 2016, you'll get up to the 330,000 reef tonnes. And the grades, at full production, we're looking at around about 5.3 grams a ton -- 5.3 to 5.4 grams a ton, depending on where you are and the ore body at the time and special compliance to where you are. So that's what you'd be looking at at full production in 2016.
Igor Gladyr - BMO Capital Markets Canada
Okay. And just on Agnew, sort of what's the expected milling and grade ahead of plans for lower tonnage and higher grades?
Nicholas John Holland
Yes, we're doing around about 60,000 tonnes a month, 30,000 to 60,000 tonnes a month out of Agnew because now we're only mining the high-grade Kim Lode, and that's at around about 9 grams a ton. So that's what you can expect going forward. We've pulled back all the other mining. So this is quite a nice little gem to have in that although it's getting deeper, we're down to around about 900 meters, it's a high-grade ore body, fairly low costs. And so you're looking here at a mine that is going to be one o the cheaper operations in the group with that kind of profile.
Our next question comes from Tanya Jakusconek of Deutsche Bank.
Tanya M. Jakusconek - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division
I think I'm at Scotia, but thanks for the Deutsche Bank call. I just wanted to ask 2 questions. Just Nick, my first question is on South Deep, and my second one is on M&A. Just on South Deep, you mentioned the wage negotiations that are going on and obviously, focusing on increasing productivity. Maybe you can remind me of what the productivity right now is at South Deep and what is our target for improved productivity there.
Nicholas John Holland
Well, the way I look at this is to say right now, we have around about 3,700 employees producing, as you've heard, around about 170,000 to 180,000 ounces -- 180,000 tonnes of reef per month. And at full production, we will have 5,000 employees that are doing 330,000 tonnes a month. And you might ask, well, how are you going to get to that level of productivity increase? The reason is that we've got a lot of people already that are part of the services and managing the twin shaft system, the plant, the backfill plant, the tails turn, all of the surface administrative functions. And now all of those are now fixed. We have everybody we do need. So the only thing we need from here on out is to put more people into the trackless mining area to man the additional fleets and all the associated loading and tramming. So the mine is incredibly leveraged to the extra volume that we're going to be mining, and that's really the magic of South Deep.
Tanya M. Jakusconek - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division
It's all volume-related then?
Nicholas John Holland
It's all volume-related. We're sitting with already 80% or so of the cost that we'll need at full production already. And that's why the unit cost is so high because we've had to actually manage our systems. You have to, on a 24-hour basis, you need 2 shifts to do that. You have to man all the tiles facilities. None of that's going to change at full production. So it's a function of the volume that we'll be getting.
Tanya M. Jakusconek - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division
Okay. And just my second question on M&A, and you mentioned that with this lower gold price, you're hunkering down. And you mentioned maybe 100,000 ounce per year of production seems to be sort of target that would make sense for you. So would it be safe to assume that any M&A that you're looking at, Nick, would be in the couple hundred million dollar range versus bigger acquisitions at over $1 billion?
Nicholas John Holland
Yes, I think it's going to be very hard in this market to be looking at those kind of deals, particularly given the valuations of all of our companies and I think the difficulty of doing those kind of deals with these valuations. So you're right. Given our mid-tier status now, Gold Fields is now #11 in market capitalization, we think that we should be fishing in that kind of pond. And I think there's a lot of value in that area. Certainly, things have got cheaper. I think there's going to be more companies in distress. And they're going to be looking for big brothers to help them out, certainly bigger than where they are. But that type of range, maybe a little bit more, but billions-of-dollar range, I think, at this stage, that's going to be very unlikely for us.
Tanya M. Jakusconek - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division
Can you just remind me what your availability is on your lines of credit and so forth? I mean, we have your cash and your debt balance, but just remind me what do we can do in addition.
Nicholas John Holland
Paul is here.
Paul A. Schmidt
We've got about just over $600 million of available U.S. facilities, and there's probably about ZAR 1 billion of rand facilities as we speak today.
Tanya M. Jakusconek - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division
Okay. And I'm assuming that there would be a minimum requirement of cash that you would like on your balance sheet for working capital that you'd like to maintain.
Paul A. Schmidt
We're keeping our -- our cash fairly consistent at the moment. In and around, if you're looking at dollars around $500 million, between $500 million and $600 million. We've done that certainly for the last 5 years, most probably if you look at it. If we have any surplus cash, we always use it to pay down debt.
Tanya M. Jakusconek - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division
No, I'm thinking of it more from an M&A standpoint, that whatever M&A you would do, #1, you would use cash; and #2, you would look at, obviously, availability on your lines of credit. But obviously, you would want to keep a minimum amount of cash on your balance sheet.
Paul A. Schmidt
Well, I suppose it just depends where we are as to the exact amount we want to keep on the balance sheet. There's a certain amount we like to keep for each of the operations at any given time. So it's not going to be a minimum amount. It's still going to be a couple of hundred million dollars that I'd like. Distributing [indiscernible] mixed in $400 million I'd like to keep as available because you never know when you need it.
Nicholas John Holland
Yes, one of the things we're doing, Tanya, is with the gold price going down, even now, we've done a lot of rationalization in the company over the last few months, cutting exploration, cutting project spend. You've heard all of them. It was fortuitous we did all of that before the gold price went down, but we still believe we need to do some more. And I'd like to create more headroom for us. In the event that gold, for whatever reason, drops to, say, $1,300 and stays there for a period of time, we want to make sure that we can emerge from that without any damage to the portfolio and still leave us with some flexibility to be opportunistic if things come along, but it could be cheaper than normal.
Tanya M. Jakusconek - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division
Yes, just looking at the numbers that you've provided. I mean, you could do something in the $500 million, $600 million range if you saw the opportunity.
Nicholas John Holland
Yes, I think if it was really good value, we would do it. But I'm not going to do any M&A unless we can see a clear path to value. There's got to be demonstrable value on the table. And we couldn't do things just for strategic reasons. It would have to be based on value. Typically, if there were assets close to ours that were available that were synergistic straight away, that becomes the obvious choices to do. And we'll see how things pan out in the space. I think we're going to see asset sales increasing over the year.
Tanya M. Jakusconek - Scotiabank Global Banking and Markets, Research Division
And the assumption would be to use cash in that, correct?
Nicholas John Holland
Preferably, we want to use cash. Now with these kind of equity valuations, you've all seen the price to NAV consensus valuations. I don't have to tell you. We prefer, if we could, to use our cash except if something was significantly cheaper than even we were, and then we'd consider using our options. But that wouldn't be my first prize at all.
Sir, we have no further questions. Do you have any closing comments?
Nicholas John Holland
I just like to say thanks to everyone for joining us today, and let's hope that the gold price recovers. But if it doesn't, let's make sure that we do all the right things to emerge from this difficult time stronger than what we were before. With that, I want to wish you all a great weekend, and I look forward to seeing you all soon. Thank you so much. Bye-bye now.
Thank you very much. On behalf of Gold Fields, that concludes this conference. Thank you for joining us. You may now disconnect your lines.
Nicholas John Holland
Thank you very much, Dylan.

The UIDAI proposes to collect data through various agencies of Central and State governments and others who, in normal course of their activities, interact with residents
The government today gave in-principle approval for adoption of standardised approach for collection of demographic and biometric attributes, including iris scan, of residents by various bodies for the Unique Identity (UID) project, reports PTI.
The approval was given at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Unique Identification Authority of India related issues (CC-UIDAI), UIDAI chairman Nandan Nilekani said in New Delhi.
To provide unique identity numbers to all residents of India, the UIDAI proposes to collect data through various agencies of Central and State governments and others who, in normal course of their activities, interact with residents.
These entities are described as "Registrars" of the UIDAI.
Explaining the significance of the decision, Mr Nilekani said a final approval will make it essential for any data-collecting department or organisation in the country to adopt the UIDAI standards.
This includes collection of demographic (name, age, sex, age among others) and biometric attributes of residents namely face, all ten fingerprints and iris scan for the UID project.
"It was also decided to include data of the iris for children in the age group of five to 15 years. The same standards and processes would be adhered to by the Registrar General of India for the National Population Register (NPR) exercise and all other Registrars in the UID system," Mr Nilekani said.
He said the biggest partner for the UIDAI was the NPR followed by the rural development ministry through the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS).
The first set of the 12-digit unique set of numbers will be issued between August 2010 and February 2011. Thereafter, 600 million UID numbers will be issued in the next five years.
Mr Nilekani said talks were also on with the finance ministry, among others, for various projects that could be tied up with UID including issuing of Permanent Account Number (PAN) cards.
Apart from providing identity, the UID will enable better delivery of services and effective governance.
The UID project is primarily aimed at ensuring inclusive growth. It especially seeks to provide UID numbers to the marginalised sections of society.
CC-UIDAI was formed in October 2009 to look into all issues relating to UIDAI including its organisation, plans, policies, programmes, schemes, funding and methodology to be adopted for achieving the objectives of the Authority.
Telecom stocks have taken a beating on the bourses. Over the past 52 weeks, Moneylife's telecom index fell 43% while shares of Idea, Bharti, Tata Tele and RCom have tumbled 38% to 60% from their highs
Overall uncertainty in the telecom sector—propelled by the tariff war, higher bidding for 3G auction and the telecom regulator's recommendations on 2G spectrum—is affecting share prices of all listed telecom companies. Reflecting the trend, Moneylife's telecom index has fallen 43.5% to 776.7 from 1,374.32 recorded on 18 May 2009.
On Tuesday, shares of Bharti Airtel, India's largest telecom operator closed 0.47% up at Rs267.8. Bharti shares are 45% down from their 52-week high of Rs495. Idea shares ended at 0.5%, higher at Rs56.9. Their 52-week high was Rs91.7. RCom and Tata Tele shares closed 2.4% up and 0.5% down at Rs145 and Rs20.5, respectively. The 52-week high for RCom is Rs359 while the same for Tata Tele is Rs41.8. RCom shares are down 59.6%, while Tata Tele shares are down 51.1% from their respective 52-week closing highs.
There are four basic elements that have played a leading role in the lacklustre performance of telecom stocks during the past 52 weeks— the tariff war, 3G auction, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)'s recommendation on 2G spectrum fees and the soon to be introduced mobile number portability (MNP).
It all started with the entry of new mobile service providers (MSPs) such as Tata Docomo, Uninor, MTS and Videocon. Tata Docomo, a joint venture between the Tata Group and NTT Docomo, started its operations with plans like 'pay per call' and 'pay per second'. This move has affected almost all MSPs negatively. Subsequently, they are reporting decline in average revenue per minute (ARPM), average revenue per user (APRU) and minutes of usage (MOU). This tariff plan helped Tata Docomo to attract new subscribers.
This was followed by the auction for 3G spectrum. Initially, everyone was sceptical over the government's estimated revenues of Rs35,000 crore from the bidding for 3G and broadband and wireless access (BWA). However, the bidding surprised everyone, including the MSPs. As of Monday, the 32nd day of the e-auction, the pan-India bid for 3G licence reached Rs16,164 crore, up from the reserve bid price of Rs3,500 crore. With this kind of bidding the government is expected to garner a minimum of Rs65,300 crore as against its estimate of Rs35,000 crore from just the 3G auction. The government can expect to collect another Rs15,000 crore from the BWA auction that will take place soon after the end of the 3G auction.
BRICS Securities Ltd, in a research note said, "Such a price is difficult to justify only on basis of market potential of 3G services in the short to medium-term horizon." However, the current 3G bid level is just about one-third of Bharti Airtel's FY10 revenues. In 2001, 2G licenses for pan-India were issued at Rs1,651 crore and Bharti then had revenues of Rs848.1 crore, or almost half of the licence amount.
"We believe the high price to be paid for 3G license can be justified to some extent given long term potential for 3G services and option value in terms of spectrum usage, infrastructure capital expenditure flexibility, easier migration to 4G for subscribers and competitive intensity in the market," BRICS added.
Given the supply-demand mismatch (for three 3G spectrum slots) and its importance from a long-term growth perspective, analysts expect significant overbidding to take place. Ambit Capital Pvt Ltd, in a research note said, "We expect the auction amount to reach Rs80,000 crore compared with the base price of Rs35,000 crore at a pan-India level. We expect all the leading operators to strive to get 3G spectrum in most of the key circles such as 'Metro' and 'Circle A' areas. Failing to win 3G spectrum in these areas could place them at a disadvantage versus competing players. As a result, operators will likely end up bidding aggressively, incurring higher cash outflows."
The spiralling bid prices have also put the MSPs under pressure, since the winner would have to pay the entire amount within 10 days from the date of closing of the e-auction. Mobile operators have already secured term loan facilities from banks and financial institutions for 3G funding. "However, in the short term, depending on the bid price, the winning operator may feel some pressure on its earnings," said Sangeeta Tripathi, research analyst, Sharekhan Ltd.{break}
As if the after-effects of the tariff war and 3G auction were not enough, TRAI came out with new recommendations for 2G spectrum. Raising the quantum of minimum amount of spectrum (contracted amount of 6.2 MHz to the operators), the regulator said: "All the spectrum beyond 6.2 MHz will have to be paid for at the current market price (linked to 3G price) by GSM operators and for the CDMA operators the spectrum assigned beyond the contracted amount of 5 MHz will have to be paid for."
Many analysts believe that the new recommendations from TRAI would be highly negative for most players in the industry. The worst-effected players would be players in the GSM space like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, BSNL and Idea. However, most new operators would benefit as they would now be entitled to 6.2 MHz of spectrum instead of the earlier contracted 4.4 MHz.
However, certain companies like Tata DoCoMo and Uninor, which are still waiting for start-up spectrum in many circles, would stand out to lose, as they are last in the priority list. They stand little chance of getting start-up 2G airwaves. Here, Tata Docomo may end up a loser.
"We believe the much-awaited recommendations have created more confusion in the industry than it has cleared. We have changed our view to 'cautious' on the industry and advise our clients not to take fresh positions in any stocks at this point. We have not revised our estimates. However, according to initial estimates, Bharti and Idea would have to incur a one-time cost of Rs3,345 crore and Rs1,344 crore in terms of spectrum fees. This would result in Rs8.8 and Rs4.1 impact on FY11E EPS for Bharti and Idea, respectively," said ICICI Securities Ltd, in a report.
Analysts expect the constraints on the 2G spectrum connected to the voice services of telecom service providers to ease over the near term due to availability of the 3G spectrum. This will help telecom operators that succeed in the auction to improve the quality of their services, while maintaining strong subscriber volume growth in their existing voice services. "This will affect their business risk profiles positively, by enhancing the retention of high-value customers and improving the players' competitiveness in an industry where competition has intensified and where churn rates are expected to increase with the implementation of mobile number portability," ratings agency CRISIL said.
MNP is also expected to lead to higher churning across subscribers. MNP is expected to be rolled out by end-June. Telecom companies who manage to get 3G spectrum would be less susceptible to the MNP impact. However, MNP could pressure financials, as MSPs would need to spend more on quality of service and selling and marketing to attract new subscribers as well as retain existing ones.
The developments over the past 52 weeks have affected the telecom sector in a big way. During this period, Moneylife's telecom sector index has fallen 43.5% to 776.7. It reached a high of 1,374.32 points on 18 May 2009 and a low of 759.7 points on 13 May 2010. The BSE Sensex, meanwhile, moved up 18% to 16,835.56 points as on 17 May 2010, from 14,284.21 points a year ago.
Despite some negative sentiments, many brokerages have maintained a 'hold' or 'buy' recommendation on Bharti Airtel and Idea. However, no one is willing to take a call on RCom or Tata Tele.
While MNP implementation and new launches could lead to some further market disruption and cause an increase in competitive activity, successful 3G auctions and final policy on 2G spectrum allocations would increase visibility on these key regulatory issues. One can only wait and watch.
As per the condition laid out at the time of giving the 'navratna' status, RINL has to get listed in the next two years, else the status would be withdrawn
Taking forward the drive to sell stake in state-owned firms, the finance ministry has asked the ministry of steel to divest about 10% of its stake in Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd (RINL) within next two years and list the firm on bourses or else the PSU's status of Navratna will be withdrawn, reports PTI.
"Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd (RINL) was recently given the Navratna tag. As per the condition laid out at the time of giving the status, RINL has to get listed in next two years, else the status would be withdrawn."
"Thus, the Department of Disinvestment under the finance ministry has directed the steel ministry to divest some stake in the company within next two years and get it listed," a senior official of the PSU said.
At present, the Union government holds 100% equity in the steel maker. According to steel ministry sources, a minimum of 10% of government's stake could be sold in RINL through an initial public offer.
Department of Disinvestment joint secretary Sidhartha Pradhan had earlier said that RINL could be disinvested in January 2011.
RINL could be the fourth steel PSU after NMDC, SAIL, Manganese Ore India Ltd (MOIL), in which government is going for disinvestment to part-fund its social and infrastructure plans.
"Before carrying out the disinvestment in RINL, the company is likely to restructure its equity base to attract better valuations," the official said, adding that no estimates of the amount to be raised by the government through share sale of the company have been worked out yet.
RINL in March 2010 joined the club of Navratna companies like SAIL, NMDC, Coal India. The status gives more financial and administrative autonomy to the company's board. The board can take investment decisions for an amount of up to Rs1,000 crore, without seeking steel ministry's permission.
The Centre has set a target of raising as much as Rs40,000 crore through share sale programmes this fiscal. It had raised about Rs10,000 crore by selling around 8.38% of its stake in NMDC.
It is expected to raise a total of around Rs16,000 crore through SAIL share sale, which will see the government selling 10% of its equity in the steel firm and the company raising fresh equity in the same proportion.
In case of MOIL, the government is considering selling 10% of its stake and list the company on the bourses. According to Pradhan, MOIL could be divested by December.

We are trying and looking to buy Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery, and on one of the webpages we saw that one server license will backup unlimited VMs. (or at least that is how it came over when I saw it)
Is anyone else using this?
My question is simlply, can I buy one server license and use the remote agent to back up all of my VMs? Or do I have to buy a license for every VM to be backed up?
I'm getting down to about 10 days left of my trial and need to get this figured out.

Kind of like their phone support personnel!
Anyway....what virtualization platform are you using?
Jan 21, 2011 at 6:30 UTC
I believe you are licensed per physical host. So yes unlimited VM's, but limited by how many you can run on each host.
Jan 24, 2011 at 5:41 UTC
What VM platform are you using ?
If you are using VMWare ESX or greater you may be better using their backup scripts to image the VM servers.
In the past I have found BESR problematic when restoring as it has trouble if the hardware is different on the 'new' server you restore the image to.
Jan 24, 2011 at 9:52 UTC
We are running Citrix XenApp servers.
The software works perfect for what I need.. I've done everything I need to do with it (as far as backups/restores, etc)
I just need to figure out licensing.
Yes, its just one physical host, and maybe 15VMs, Todd7254.
Jan 24, 2011 at 11:22 UTC
Talked to Symantec on the phone, explained that we have 1 physical server and 15 or so VMs to back up.
They said I would just need one license of:
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 2010 Virtual Edition + 12 Months Essential Support
This would cover the server and as many vm clients as we want.... Now the fun part.. trying to find the cheapest price! :)

|Blessed are those that are strong of bicep, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
|~ The Holy Bible, Book of Ahnold
We at the Lord's Gym follow the Gospels of Ahnold, a little-known Book of The Holy Bible discovered in an ancient gym bag in a cave upon the Dead Sea. The Gospels of Ahnold tells us that God begat his only son Jesus and sent him down to earth to train to be his spotter, as God wanted to rep out one million ass-to-the-grass squat thrusts with the weight of the entire universe on his back. In his time on Earth, Jesus revolutionized the world of physical fitness, and we here at Lord's Gym consider his Word, as set forth in the Gospels of Ahnold, to be our Workout Bible.

The debate we need to have- what if there is a downturn?
Think about the many issues that are the subject of debate in Australia today – how do we boost productivity and will it require more labour market reform? What role ought (and can) Australia play in tackling climate change? How can we re-position our health and education systems so they can promote rather than undermine social equality?
Added to these three big economic, environmental and social questions are a range of others – asylum seeker policy, China, America and the Asia Pacific, the future of our cities and marriage law just to name a few.
In these debates all colour of opinion is represented – hard-line economic rationalists, radical environmentalists and social reformers, protectionists, mainstream conservatives and traditional social democrats. Religion and ideology are in there competing for attention, providing values to guide the discussion but so too are the natural and human sciences and all the evidence they have collected.
However, there is one debate that we seem to think is unnecessary – how should the Australian Government respond if the nation enters an internationally-induced recession?
What too if the recovery from such an event is weak and lengthy as it may very well be given the structural problems in Europe and the USA? Given there is enough evidence to think this is a possibility Australians should expect answers from the major parties on how it should be handled.
It may be, of course, that the response will be: "No, it can't happen because China has de-linked our economy from the USA and Europe". One of the problems with this response is that China hasn't been de-linked from the USA and Europe. The other is that these two traditional trade and investment partners are still important for our future.
In 2008 and 2009, the government responded with vigour to the global financial crisis, quarantining bank deposits and initiating a stimulus package. At that time the opposition said that the stimulus had gone too far and had created debt which would cause problems down the track.
Herein lies a potential weakness in the Coalition's pitch to an electorate nervous about the economy and the jobs it will or won't create and sustain.
For its part the government seems less flexible on macroeconomics than it had been in 2008.
Indeed in the last budget the government went for a surplus for 2012-13. Commentators had said the government had space in the budget to delay a return to surplus and should use it given the global uncertainties but such advice was rejected. However, the Treasurer did say that surpluses "provide a buffer against global uncertainty", implying that should the circumstances require it another stimulus may be in order.
It is true, of course, that economics covers microeconomics as well as macroeconomics. Spending your way out of a recession has its temporal limits and a good economy in today's globalised world needs to be competitive.
However to say this is not to say that full employment as an objective must, of necessity, be compromised in the interests of competitiveness. Indeed the position of economic hardliners that unemployment is necessary to bring "reality" back to the labour market takes us back to the dark ages of economic policy.
What we need in a recession is the "politics of sharing" rather than the "politics of austerity". The problem with austerity is that it can drive the economy deeper into recession as the public sector is contracted. This is bad in itself and if external circumstances don't improve quickly it can condemn many to long-term unemployment and the consequences that go with it.
In a sharing scenario governments can seek to maintain employment in a recession not only with targeted deficit spending but also through targeted training and job creation funded through re-distribution. In an environment in which the burdens aren't carried by the most vulnerable and exposed citizens it's also possible to keep alive a sensible conversation about long-term competitiveness. It's never easy to combine efficiency and equity but always better to try.

Dushasana would pull one yard of her sari and another two yards would be added to it by the grace of Sri Krishna. The evil Dushasana went on and on, his hands aching with pain, but there was no end to the clothes on Draupadi's body. At last, Dushasana collapsed, completely exhausted. "Victory to Lord Krishna!", exclaimed Draupadi and fell down unconscious. Tears rolled down her eyes.

The Regrets of Cyrus Dodd
Buy The Regrets of Cyrus Dodd – CLICK HERE
Revenge, death, deception… These are the things Cyrus Dodd has to overcome if he is to give Ruth the life he's promised her. The problem is he's got a prideful nature and when a seemingly innocuous argument leads to a bitter feud with his neighbor, his life changes forever. The plans he has falls by the wayside and before he finds a way to fix it, he comes to understand the meaning of regret.
In this early twentieth century family saga, two men come up against each other—both are iron-willed and stubborn. One will lose his farm; the other will lose his family. In a tale of betrayal, murder and revenge two West Virginia farmers will discover that being right does not necessarily mean being happy.
Believing he has lost everything Cyrus Dodd is forced to start over. He promises Ruth that this time it will be better, but the truth is he doesn't know if it's a promise he can keep.
Get off my land! – The Regrets of Cyrus Dodd
In early March, he put two of his fattest pigs in the wagon and headed over to the Jackson farm. "Let's let bygones be bygones," he told Virgil then said he'd brought two of the nearly grown pigs as a peace offering.
"I ain't interested," Virgil snapped. "Now get off my land!"
"This is double what you wanted," Cyrus argued. "And these two are almost ready for market!"
Virgil squared his jaw and gave Cyrus a look that was hard and as unforgiving as the mountain itself. "You shamed me," he snarled. "And that ain't something I'm willing to forget!"
Feeling his back was to the wall, Cyrus bowed his head and said humbly. "I'm truly sorry for that. And seeing as how this was all my fault, I'm willing to make it three pigs, plus you get your choice of the litter."
"Get off my land!" Virgil repeated.
"Aw come on Virgil, I'm giving you three pigs and it ain't gonna cost you nothing. All you gotta do is open up the dam you got blocking my water."
Virgil took his time answering. "It ain't your water," he finally said. "It's mine! And I ain't about to give it away for no three pigs. You bring me all nine and I might be willing to think things over."
"Nine?" Cyrus shouted. "You crazy? I ain't about to give you the whole damn litter just 'cause you got a gripe stuck in your craw." Before he stopped to think about the consequences he said Virgil could go straight to hell and stomped off.
Feeling he'd at long last gotten even with Dodd, Virgil stood there laughing. As Cyrus climbed back into his wagon Virgil called out, "You'd better take my offer right now 'cause when you come back begging I'm gonna want all them pigs and a cow too!"
Cyrus turned, looked Virgil in the eye then spat on the ground. "I'd sooner starve to death than come begging to you!"
"You just might end up doing that," Virgil laughed. "Yep, you sure enough might…"

I am working on creating a utility to export data based on a date range. I want to update a field in the table being exported as well. There will actually be 3 variables at time of execution. One can be a drop down selection of 7 possible values. This will determine the company ID for the records, the other 2 variables are beginning date and ending date. These dates should be included in the data. I need it to export a few specific fields if it meets the 3 selection criteria and then update a audit field to indicate it has been exported. this is a point of sale application that supports multiple "Locations" in the same data tables. Each entry in the transaction table has a location id. The data will be exported to a specific location and file name based on the chosen "location" in a csv format.
I am looking for suggestions on what would be fairly easy for me to develop with a result that is easy for the end user to run from a remote workstation. It could be a web page I guess that is asp based. Just looking for ideas and any helpful tips/directions/etc. that I can use. The utility will be used regularly in our accounting department.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Lawrie Dalman Consulting is an IT service provider.
We make little enduser/client middle ware, data handling and reporting utilities with Visual Studio 2008 in C#, which is very powerful and makes Windows apps easily.
That would be the choice for mine if you have access to VS. You could also make a simple little app like this with VS C# or VB 2008 or 2010 Express.
Packaging this in an app reduces the chances of the end user doing anything wrong or screwing with the code if you use scripts. You can also have the little app report to the user that the data has been exported and where to or even launch Explorer or Excel or whatever directly onto the exported CSV.
Mar 27, 2010 at 10:25 UTC
If you can't afford the expense of VS and having to ramp up your own or buy in the skills to develop the application I would recommend Alpha 5. It has a low price point, has the programming power but is fairly easy for a basic programmer to pick up. It can access a variety of databases and even has a web based version which uses codeless AJAX.
Let us know which way you go.
Mar 30, 2010 at 8:55 UTC
I do have access to Visual Studio. I do not however have any real skills in vb programming. I have a little experience with ASP using vbscript but it has been a while. Any samples someone would be willing to share? I need 3 input variables, one is a location identifier, and the other two are dates. It then runs a query and exports the data and lastly, I need it to set a field to a 1 to indicate it has been exported to prevent duplicate exporting in the future.
Thanks for the responses.

Just so you know, your boyfriend could be charged and most likely, convicted, of statutory sexual assault. If an individual enages in consensual sexual conduct with another who is 16 or younger and they are 4 or more years older, they've committed statutory sexual assault.
That being said, I would imagine your boyfriend is not well liked by your parents? Your best bet is to be honest with your parents and level with them. I think the DA will take your relationship with the boyfriend into consideration and may not charge him with a crime. It all depends. If you hide it from your parents, I think there's a stonger likelihood that they will feel more strongly against him. This is a tough call and I don't want to play God with your life. You should consult with local counsel that can discuss this with the police or the DA before it snowballs.
Good luck!

Getting emancipated will not necessarily solve the problem of statutory rape charges. The state will find out about the child either through a report by your parents, or perhaps from the hospital, although this is less likely.
Try to talk to your parents and get them on your side with the pregnancy and the relationship. This will make them 1. less likely to report the issue, and 2. less likely to ask the District Attorney to press full charges.
If you have a healthy relationship with your boyfriend, the District Attorney is likely to take that into account. Be prepared to show the Commonwealth that you do have a healthy relationship. I would recommend that your boyfriend consult a criminal defense attorney to try to take some pre-emptive steps.
Honestly, you should talk to your parents and have them and a criminal defense attorney talk to the District Attorney.
Best of luck,

The Apostate Auguries are a collection of prophecies from Tryphosa, a powerful Malkavian seeress.
The Auguries detail the rise of a a great Shadow from the Abyss and of the escape of a great beast imprisoned there. This beast will then attack something, researchers believe that it means either Son or Sun. Some of this points to Gehenna and the rise of [Lasombra].
The book is currently in the possession of the Akritai, an order of Hunters that destroyed Tryphosa in Czechia. Their researchers, however, have great difficulty in deciphering Tryphosa's mad ramblings.

|Re: Re: Windows Laundry List pt3, mod_watchdog
|Fri, 01 Jul 2011 07:10:50 GMT
Hi Mladen, Ok, I'm just a dumb guy but for me, if it drops to the hard drive (it's built on my platform) it should at minimum load without crashing the server. I personally have no use for any of this (watchdog, heartmonitor,heartbeat,lbmethod_heartbeat) that I know of at this time, they do all seem to be connected though so let those that do have use on Windows get it actually working. That said, works may not be correct, but with this code in, it crashes the child every time the child tries to load the module. Without this code, the module loads and I start seeing this in my debug log; [Thu Jun 30 23:15:38.003000 2011] [watchdog:debug] [pid 3428:tid 988] mod_watchdog.c(164): SingletonWatchdog (_heartmonitor_) running (3428) Parent PID is 3992, not 3428. When I shut down Apache I do not see any processes laying around in a zombie state. There is logs/httpd.pid as well. Not a great way to get this info but it is there in Windows and since you are doing something differently for windows, it's another option. How does the whatever writes that PID file get the parent PID, as of yet still a mystery to me. Ok, now since there is zero docs on this module, I am winging it a little. But looking at the TAKE1 there is only one directive, WatchdogInterval, being "Watchdog interval in seconds," not a hard stretch. Leaving this Win32 specific code in however, the module will not work for whatever reason. Bed time. Cheers, Gregg -----Original Message----- From: Mladen Turk <firstname.lastname@example.com> To: email@example.com Date: Fri, 01 Jul 2011 07:26:14 +0200 Subject: Re: Windows Laundry List pt3, mod_watchdog On 07/01/2011 06:31 AM, Gregg L.

So, either it crashes on win32 or it works, your choice :-) If your choice is let it fail, then get rid of it all, heartbeat, heartmonitor, lb_method_heartmonitor& watchdog on Windoze. Of course, if there is no improvement on documentation, most of it will go bye bye come GA anyway, per what is stated in STATUS. > Attached patch just gets rid of it. > This cannot be omitted. Getting the parent pid means we we are in the child process, so we must not init the parent watchdog thread (see 'return OK;') Parent watchdog thread is windows specific and allows to have a watchdog registered in parent process since the way how parent and child cooperate is different then on unixes since there's no fork() available. How exactly does it crash? You say "either it crashes on win32 or it works" with a smiley, is not very informative. Regards -- ^TM

The BYOD movement is truly shaking up IT. Now, more than ever, employees are bringing their own devices to work. Not only that, on average, employees carry more than two devices each. The proliferation of devices and the additional traffic are putting big demands on the corporate network, as well as increasing the risk of data security breaches.
Today's Expectation
Employees today expect the relevant information they need for work, to be accessible on their mobile device. This is true whether the device is company-issued or a personal one. The information they need goes far beyond email and PDF files; they want access to real-time data, CRM, and ERP applications, to name a few. Employees also want similar user experiences as well, regardless of the device. As they see it, the mobile work experience should be no different than if the employee was at a desktop at a company site.
The Role of IT
Just as the way we work has changed (anywhere offices, any device, and 24/7 access) so too has the role of IT. For one, when it comes to mobile device access management, IT assets inside the firewall are moving outside the firewall, says GigaOM. Also, with employees increasingly leveraging their own devices at work, IT administrators must control access to applications on the network. According to Cio.com, one successful approach to managing data on consumer devices is to isolate the app, data, and services, usually through virtualization, from the local device rather than managing the whole device.
Mobile Device Access Policy
With so many users and devices seeking access and sharing data, here are a few suggestions from GigaOM regarding the components of an enterprise access policy:
BYOD Policy: First, embrace the BYOD movement, and at the same time limit the platforms IT will support. Discover the top three most frequently used devices, and approve and support those platforms. For example, the iPad, Samsung Galaxy, and Amazon tablet represent more than 50 percent of the tablet market. By supporting these, IT will be supporting the majority of its employees' tablet devices. Second, allow these approved personal devices into a limited access zone, carefully monitoring access to applications on the network as well.
Executive Class & Multimedia Policy: Deliver executive access with higher priority. The same goes true for certain types of media. To determine your priorities, partner with business teams and identify mission-critical areas of the business such as those that directly affect customers, key operational processes, and the bottom line.
Device Revocation/Retention Policy: If a device with corporate data access is lost or stolen, IT can remotely disable device access to the corporate network or cloud, rather than the user's access. As more employees bring their own devices, enterprise IT can worry less about device management and focus more on access management and platform support.
What the Future Holds
Where do we go from here? One infrastructure architect shares what's on his mobile device management wish list at Cio.com: A hypervisor on the iPad to segregate corporate and personal data; the ability to track data or documents across installed apps; and multiple user profile capability for shared devices. What do you wish you could implement now?

Almost anything can be improved with music, as evidenced by tuba-accompanied balcony serenades, operatic State of the Union addresses, and yodeled bank statements. Tune your ears to the sweet sounds on stage with today's GrouponLive deal for a cabaret-dining ticket to one of four concerts at Musikfest Café presented by Yuengling at the ArtsQuest Center in Bethlehem. Seats are assigned on a first-call, first-served basis via phone reservation. Tickets will be available for pickup at will call. Choose from the following options:
• For $16, you get to see Wanda Jackson on Saturday, July 30, at 7:30 p.m. (a $32 value).
• For $16, you get to see 7 Walkers on Tuesday, August 9, at 7 p.m. (a $30 value).
• For $16, you get to see The Verve Pipe on Saturday, August 13, at 7 p.m. (a $30 value).
• For $16, you get to see Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica on Saturday, August 27, at 7:30 p.m. (a $32 value).
The ArtsQuest Center welcomes a colorful lineup of bands and comedians to its cozy Musikfest Café. Attendees can douse themselves in the reverberating sound waves of rockabilly star Wanda Jackson, the propulsive pop stylings of The Verve Pipe, the juicy funk cocktail of 7 Walkers, and the space-age melodies of Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica, a big-band tribute to Mexican composer Esquivel! and the soundtrack to Quantum Leap. Fans can enjoy cabaret seating located no more than 60 feet from the stage, allowing them to admire the performers up close and discreetly alert them of bass-drum fires. Although food and beverages are not included in today's deal, the venue will serve a smorgasbord of eats and drinks—including pulled-pork sandwiches ($9.95), flatbread pizzas ($7.95–$8.95), and a selection of wine and beer—preventing bellies from roaring uncontrollably during covers of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."

I know every woman is different, but I'm still curious about how long you all waited before you started menstruating again after birth.
A little more info:
I've never had regular periods. This had a lot to do with being eating disordered for a number of years. I stopped menstruating entirely from 05-07. Once I recovered they were still light and inconsistent.
In oct. 2010 I became pregnant with DS & carried full term. He'll be 12 months at the end of the month! He still nurses very frequently. (about about 3 times a night in bed & every 3 hrs during the day) He has plenty of solids, and his poops are that of a weaned baby....so I don't feel like he's nursing for more than half of his calories.
I'm definitely healthy and am taking powdered maca (a couple times a week) for energy & hoping it will help my cycle return.
DH and I are hoping to conceive ASAP.
So what was your experience? How long did you wait?
For me it was about 12 months with DD and 25 months with DS.
The average for breastfeeding moms is something like 10 months, 14 months for moms who breastfeed on demand. There is a LARGE range of normal, though, from 6 weeks PP to 4 years.
You mentioned having an eating disorder in the past. Women who are thinner often take longer to resume ovulation. Some people have success with gaining an extra five pounds to kick-start ovulation.
Good luck!

Motorola Modality Services

( 5,542)
Motorola Modality Services helps your Motorola phone respond more intelligently to motion, phone orientation (e.g. face up/down) and stowed state (e.g in/out-of-pocket).
Note: Motorola Assist and Motorola Active Display use this service. Keeping it updated allows you to benefit from their latest features.
Note: Motorola Assist and Motorola Active Display use this service. Keeping it updated allows you to benefit from their latest features.
Still a few kinks to work out. Ambient noise detection for driving mode activation is too sensitive. My phone thinks I'm driving if I'm close to loud machines. Not a bad idea but it works too well if you get my drift. Also, coming off of driving mode seems to not be as seamless.
Love but have issue Love the update speed of moto now and attention to detail my only issue is the past few days while on idle off charger my battery is draining super fast and it showing this app as the culprit. Moto assist was not running and phone was up side down.
Active display still not working properly. Active display still not working properly while driving. Goes on all the time. Did not do this before previous update. Not sure if it was this app or not. But used to work perfect. Have not been able to use active display for over 2 months now.
Once this starts stopping... Once this starts force closing ("Unfortunately, Modality Service has stopped"), nothing works anymore. No Active Display, no Assist, ... You have no chance of fixing this issue, so the only way of getting it away is a factory reset, which also deletes all of you user data. WTF?
Please fix Neat idea, but now my phone thinks I'm driving when I'm sitting stationary at my house. I'm guessing it hears loud noises and takes it as I'm in a car with the stereo on or something. please fix.
Pocket Detection I don't know what happened but pocket detection NEVER works anymore! My screen keeps coming on in my pocket and makes calls. Very frustrating and irritating when that's one of the reasons I bought this phone and that's what you advertised that it would NOT do! PLEASE FIX!
What's New

The Electronic Signature and Records Association (ESRA) sent select representatives and executive board members to D.C. yesterday to educate lawmakers about electronic signature and advocate for wider adoption. AssureSign CEO and ESRA executive board member David Brinkman was among those in attendance, along with representatives from Adobe, Buckley Sandler LLP, DocuSign, Equifax, Fidelity National and iPipeline.
The visit is a part of an ongoing effort by ESRA executive board members to advocate the use of electronic signatures and records and to promote wider adoption among public entities, government agencies and businesses.
"As electronic signature capabilities have become fundamental across industries, our group is playing a key role in educating lawmakers and business leaders on both the legality and efficiency of e-signatures," said David Brinkman, president and CEO of AssureSign. "Electronic signatures expedite workflows, saving organizations precious time and money – we're here in D.C. to share that message with lawmakers."
Thus far, the delegation has had meetings with the staffers of nine lawmakers and with Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas. The group continues their meetings through tomorrow afternoon.

"Deep gash to leg"
About: Royal Bolton Hospital Royal Bolton Hospital Bolton BL4 0JR
Posted by Anonymous
I went to A&E at Royal Bolton on the 13th June 2014. I had fallen down a step in the garden and ripped the skin on the front of my leg. After waiting about half hour I was seen bu the Triage nurse who had a look at my leg and put a new dressing on it and asked me to go back to waiting room. After about another half hour or so I was called back and the same triage nurse dressed my wound and put butterfly stitches on wound. She explained everything to me as she went along and put my mind at rest Excellent treatment and lovely nurse

Thrifty Logan Car Hire is situated in a great spot for car pick up and drop off, as it's only 25kms south of Brisbane CBD and less than an hours drive from the world famous Gold Coast. So whether you're embarking on a wicked exploration of Queensland and the wider yonder, or are a Logan resident looking for a feature-filled hire vehicle, look no further than Thirty.
For the everyday cruiser we have a great range of passenger cars, including the five star crash rated Toyota Corolla and Subaru Liberty. If you're looking to get the job done in a flash, we offer a massive range of commercial vehicles for hire at a competitive price, from utes to trucks and everything in between. We also service the smash repairers in the area by providing them with reliable vehicles.
We haven't forgotten the busy tradie working the weekend shift or the family moving houses either. Thrifty Logan has everything from vans and utes to an epic 9 tonne truck in our fleet. And the best part is they are all available for a wallet-friendly price.
While the Thrifty team at Logan specialises in commercial vehicles, we also have a wide range of passenger vehicle for those outer towners seeking a comfy car to get around town in style, as well as 21 seater buses for the larger group (with the optional extra of a trailer to store your luggage).
Brisbane is an up and coming city with a lot happening in the construction, catering and events industries and also sees a lot of visitors. So to help all walks of life get on the road sooner, we've introduced early opening hours at Thrifty Logan from 7.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday and 7.30am to 12.00pm on the weekends.
Don't brush this city off before you give it a chance, because once you scratch the surface of Logan you'll find it has a lot to offer, from lush riverside parks to animal-filled reserves.
If you love Australia's wildlife then you'll absolutely fall for the Daisy Hill Koala Centre. There's also the Cornubia Forest Park, Springwood Conservation Park and Eagleby Wetlands, which are abundant in Australian wildlife, such as wallabies and native birds.
South East Queensland is home to some stunning nature reserves, including the Berrinba Wetlands reserve, offering a quaint 7km walk through the bushland. Last but definitely not least, make sure you visit the Chung Tian Temple to see exquisite Chinese architecture and well-kept grounds. Yep, Logan is full of surprises!
Are you looking for inspiration for your next road trip? Look no further, Thrifty can help with our Travel Blog. We have the long haul road trips mapped out to get the travel bug stirring. Be sure to check these pages regularly for new additions.
