Wix Pricing Review
Wix's pricing plans offer really good value compared to other drag & drop website builders. We feel that Wix is the best All-Around website builder and their pricing range is lower than its direct competitors.
In addition to innovative website building features that is better than its competitors, Wix also offers 24/7 support (including daytime phone support), 500+ unique designs and a large app market to help you bolt on more tools to your website.
Review by Jeremy
Last Updated on August 10, 2018
When it comes to Wix pricing, it's really not that complicated especially after we get into the details of what you can expect to receive.
Wix pricing plans page is detailed yet simple and transparent. But we do have a few thoughts we want to share with you to help you make a more informed decision.
Of course, one of the biggest questions is whether their premium plans are worth it to you.
There are also other costs associated with building a website with Wix that you might have missed. We'll get into those below, as well.
Before we dig into Wix's premium plans and understand what they offer you, we want to let you know that after our comprehensive, hands-on experiences with using Wix, we feel that they are the best All-Around drag & drop website builder in the market today.
You can see our detailed review of Wix here.
They are continuously introducing innovative and industry leading website building and design tools, which empowers even non-technical users to build professional-looking websites that match today's design trend.
They even have an Artificial Design Intelligence (ADI) system that can help build an entire website for you.
Wix is always introducing new features so unlike some other website builders out there, they are very progressive and not a stagnant platform at all.
Best of all, their tools are 100% code-free, so you don't have to have any coding knowledge to build a good, functional website that you can be proud of.
Before we delve deeper into Wix's monthly pricing plans, take a quick look at how we rate it:
Now let's get to the most important aspect of their pricing plans – the actual monthly prices themselves!
Wix Pricing Plans – What It Costs You Per Month
One thing you should note is that on Wix's pricing page, the monthly prices reflect annual plans.
If you choose to enroll into a month-to-month payment plan, the monthly prices are slightly higher.
Don't worry, we've done the math for you.
If you decide to go with their annual plans, you save anywhere from 18% to 36%.
Wix Prices:
|Wix Pricing Plans
|Monthly Plan ($/month)
|Annual Plan ($/month)
|Savings (%)
|Connect Domain
So picking an annual plan makes a lot of sense especially if you have an unlimited amount of time to try Wix for free.
I'm sure you know already, you can sign up and test Wix for free and the free trial has no time limit. You don't have to upgrade until you are ready.
Here's another interesting fact.
82% of new Wix paid subscribers choose to sign up to annual plans. This means that only 18% of their subscribers sign up to month-to-month payment plans.
This just goes to show that most people find the annual plan discounts significant to them – and they are.
If you really feel great about Wix and you want to commit to a 2-year plan, that's also possible and you will receive an additional 5% discount.
In our view, while this option is pretty nice, the additional 5% discount isn't that mind-blowing. If you compare the discount you get from a 1-year plan versus the additional discount for a 2-year plan, signing up to Wix's 1-year plan will give you the most "bang for the buck".
Having said that, it's there for you if you don't mind committing to a 2-year plan.
Wix Pricing Plans – Our Thoughts On Each Plan
Excluding the free plan, Wix offers you 5 premium plans to choose from.
Just to state the obvious, the cost per month increases if you pick a higher premium plan.
|Wix Pricing Plans
|Connect Domain
|Monthly Price
|Unlimited Pages
|Free Domain *
|Remove Wix Ad
|SSL Encryption
|Online Store
|24/7 Support
|VIP Support
|Ad Vouchers
|Site Booster App

|Wix Pricing Plans
|Connect Domain
* Wix gives you a free domain name for 1-year if you sign up to their annual plans.
** With the VIP plan, Wix gives you a 1-time free review of your website's design, user interface, and SEO.
To some of you, it's not obvious which plan is the most suitable for your needs, so we've decided to share some of our thoughts with you below to help you select the best plan.
Before we dive in to discuss our thoughts and critiques, just know that with all Wix pricing plans include the following:
- Hosting services (they'll manage the security and all the technical aspects of keeping your website up and running for you).
- You can connect your domain name to your website.
- You can integrate Google Analytics so you can understand how your visitors are using your website (which pages are more popular, how long your visitors stay on each page, etc.)
- Premium support (Phone, email, support center, forum).
- No setup fees.
- 14-day refund period – no questions asked *
* Note that if you sign up to an annual plan, once you're past the 14-day refund period, you will not qualify for a refund for the unused portion of the year. If you request a refund before the 14-day period expires, you'll your entire annual plan refunded. Also keep in mind that you have an unlimited amount of time to test out Wix for free before you upgrade. There is no pressure to upgrade at all. You can take your time to test out Wix for free.
1) Connect Domain Plan ($5.00/month)
Not to sound blunt, but you can probably just ignore this plan.
Sure, you get to connect the website to your own custom domain name so you get the benefit of being able to brand your website as your own, but under this Connect Domain plan, Wix still displays their advertisement on your website.
That doesn't sound 100% fair, right? Why pay a monthly fee if they're going to keep their brand on your website.
Now, we don't think Wix is trying to sabotage you at all – nothing like that. I think it's just a tactic for them to encourage you to sign up to at least their next, higher, premium plan – the Combo plan.
Put it this way. Wix's biggest competitors – Squarespace and Weebly – both price their lowest premium plans at $12 per month and $8 per month, respectively. So this Connect Domain plan of $5.00 per month is just "too good to be true" for an outstanding website builder such as Wix.
We feel that Wix is worth a lot more than only $5.00 per month as in our view, they are the best all-around website builder available today.
2) Combo Plan ($10.00/month)
This plan will remove all Wix advertisements from your website, so your visitors will not know that your website is not custom built by you.
You get 2GB in bandwidth and 3GB of storage space under this plan.
Bandwidth is a bit tricky to explain without getting too technical. But I'd like to think of it as "electricity" to power your website. The more your webpages are visited, and the more content you cram into them, the more power it takes to display them to your visitors.
Now, it's quite challenging to determine if 2GB in bandwidth and 3GB of storage space are enough for you. It all depends on how many visitors you expect and how much content (such as images) you intend to upload to your website.
The more visitors you have and the more graphics you insert into your pages, the more bandwidth you need to power your website.
If you're approaching your bandwidth limit, Wix will warn you about it.
Unfortunately, if you run out of bandwidth (exceed 2GB per month), you cannot purchase more from Wix. You'll need to upgrade to a higher premium plan which is an additional $4 per month (or the price of a fancy cup of coffee).
This is not all that bad considering if you run out of bandwidth, this usually means you are getting more website visitors than you expect – which is awesome.
3) Unlimited Plan ($14.00/month)
As the name of this premium plan suggests, you'll receive an unlimited amount of bandwidth for your website.
So it doesn't matter how many visitors visit your website, Wix will be able to keep your website powered up even under significant load.
The Wix Unlimited Plan is also their most popular plan. It sort of makes sense as most users tend to be small businesses or entrepreneurs, and so the extra $4 per month (compared to the Combo plan) is not a big deal in return for unlimited bandwidth.
Not to mention you also get 10GB of storage space – 7GB or 233% more than what you get under the Combo plan.
With Wix's Unlimited Plan, you also receive the Form Builder App (a $48 value) so you can create contact boxes so your visitors can get in touch with you. You'll also receive the Site Booster App ($60 value) to improve your website's chances of being discovered in Google (you can also see our guide on Website Builder SEO here).
While these extra apps are "nice to haves" and are worth something, I'm not entirely convinced that they should be the main decision factor for you.
I think the key factors you should consider include:
- Unlimited bandwidth – great for businesses and entrepreneurs since your goal is to increase your website visitors.
- If you don't need any ecommerce tools – you're not selling products through your website.
4) eCommerce Plan ($17.00/month)
If you intend to sell products (physical or digital), then you'll need to select either this eCommerce plan or the VIP plan (more about this plan below).
We don't really have that much more to add as your decision-making process should be pretty straightforward. If you need online selling tools, this is the plan for you.
We have an entire guide dedicated to reviewing Wix's ecommerce tools here. You'll find it helpful if you want to create an online store.
5) VIP Plan ($25.00/month)
The Wix VIP plan also comes with a VIP pricing – the most expensive plan out of their 5 plans!
All (lame) jokes aside, this plan includes all the features you get from the lower plans, and more.
And to be fair, Wix's VIP pricing plan is actually a lot more affordable than their competitors' highest plans (in the $40 to $50 per month range).
As mentioned above, if you intend to operate an ecommerce store to sell physical or digital goods, the VIP plan can also help. You see, the Wix eCommerce plan only provides you with 20GB in bandwidth per month. So if you have a boat load of shoppers land on your website, you might run out of bandwidth over the course of the month.
Granted, Wix will notify you once you approach your monthly limit (under the eCommerce plan), and you'll have an opportunity to upgrade to the VIP plan to get the unlimited amount of bandwidth if you think you need it.
So what else do you get with the Wix VIP plan? Here are the two key things:
- 10 Wix ShoutOut email campaigns per month – ShoutOut is Wix's email marketing program that helps you send out newsletters or promotional emails to your subscribers with ease. You can design your own emails without knowing any code (just drag & drop) and start promoting your services, products, brand – just like that. This is definitely helpful if you are a business and want to build a stronger brand and following. Here are the regular prices for Wix ShoutOut so you can get a sense of the bonus value the VIP plan offers – the Basic plan (5 email campaigns per month) is $4.90 and the Business Essential plan (20 email campaigns per month) is $12.90. So you're roughly getting $6 to $7 in value per month for free with the VIP plan (that is if you use Wix ShoutOut).
- Professional Site Review – Wix's experts will review your website to provide you with feedback relating to your website's design, user-interface, and SEO. To be honest, we haven't tested this offering out before, but just to give you a frame of reference, if you hired a professional to do this for you, it can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars. But again, we haven't tried this Wix offering before so we can't say how effective it is. Regardless, it's a valuable offer even if you get just one very good advice from the professional review. It could potentially make a big difference for you.
How Does Wix Pricing Compare To Their Competitors?
Wix pricing plans are actually more economical when compared to their direct competitors (Squarespace and Weebly).
Wix's plans range from $5.00 per month to $25.00 per month, whereas Squarespace's plans range from $12 per month to $40 per month, and Weebly's plans range from $8 per month to $49 per month.
|Pricing Comparison
|Monthly Prices
(Based on Annual Plans)
Granted, each of these competitors offers you different experiences and features. But purely from a pricing perspective, Wix is a pretty good deal especially it is our view that Wix is the best All-Around website builder available in the market today.
Squarespace has the best designs and Weebly is the easiest to use. But Wix wins the All-Around category in our view.
If you're interested in a more direct comparison across features, take a look at our website builder comparison chart here.
Costs Above & Beyond Wix Pricing Plans
Beyond paying the monthly subscription fee, there are other costs that you should take into consideration, including:
- Domain name
- Custom email addresses
Keep in mind that 24/7 support and hosting is included as part of your monthly plan, so you don't have to worry about them.
Domain Name Cost ($14.95 to $24.85 per year)
What's a domain name? It's your own personalized website address that people can type into a web browser to reach your website.
For instance, our website domain name is www.websitebuilderexpert.com
Each website has its own unique name on the internet and so there can be no duplicates. It's a good opportunity to brand your website or business with your own unique domain name.
If you sign up to one of Wix's annual plans (except for the Connect Domain plan, which you can ignore as mentioned above), you'll get a free custom domain name for 1-year.
After the first year, you'll need to pay an annual fee to keep the domain name registered to you. If you don't pay, then someone else can register that domain name and use it for him/herself.
So make sure you renew the domain name every year! Wix will remind you about it when it's time to renew.
With Wix, the annual renewal fee is $14.95. If you want to add privacy registration to your domain name, that's an additional $9.90 per year.
Why would you want privacy registration?
Because domain names disclose public information such as the name and address of the person who registered the domain name, so you might want to hide such personal information. To do that, you'll need to pay for privacy registration.
This is not a unique thing with Wix. If you use other domain name registrars such as GoDaddy, you'll encounter the same situation.
Compared to Squarespace and Weebly, Wix's domain name fees are reasonable. Squarespace charges $20 per year (renewal fee + privacy) and Weebly charges $29.95 (renewal + privacy). So Wix lands right in the middle at $24.85 per year.
With that said, you don't HAVE to get your custom domain name from Wix. You can get it from other reputable domain name registrars such as GoDaddy or Namecheap.
So what should you do? What are the pros and cons to each approach? We have a complete domain names guide that will dig into this.
If you do decide to get your domain name from Wix, here is their page that will give you more information.
Custom Email Addresses ($4.08 per month per email address)
Wix has partnered up with G Suites (basically Google's Gmail for Business) to enable you to create custom email addresses directly within your Wix account.
This makes it a lot easier for you as traditionally, you'll have to create email addresses with a separate service provider, prove that you own the domain name, then do all sorts of technical mumbo jumbo to get things setup.
With Wix partnering up with Google's G Suites, you can pay for, setup and configure your email addresses right inside Wix's dashboard.
So what do you get if you decide to use G Suites? You get:
- A personalized email address
- 25GB email inbox size
- 5GB cloud storage space
- Collaborative Calendar, Google Docs, Sheets & Slides
- Online video meetings and messaging (Google Hangout)
- No ads
- 99% uptime guarantee
- 24/7 support
- Mobile device management (synchronize your emails with your smartphone)
Basically, all the features, reliability and security that you'd get from Gmail, except you get your own branded email addresses.
All these features will cost you $4.08 if you sign up for an annual plan, or $4.95 if you decide to go with a month-to-month plan.
We use G Suites ourselves to operate our business. We like it because it's reliable, easy to use and it just plain works.
For a few dollars per month per email, it's a great investment for us since we're reading and responding to emails all the time.

The sun descended, the sea grew violet, all we on the Santa Maria gathered for vesper prayer and song. Fray Ignatio's robe and back-thrown cowl burned brown against the sea and the sail. One last broad gold shaft lighted the tall Admiral, his thick white hair, his eagle nose, his strong mouth. Diego de Arana was big, alert and soldierly; Roderigo Sanchez had the look of alcalde through half a lifetime. I had seen Roderigo de Escobedo's like in dark streets in France and Italy and Castile, and Pedro Gutierrez wherever was a court. Juan de la Cosa, the master, stood a keen man, thin as a string. Out of the crowd of mariners I pick Sancho and Beltran the cook, Ruiz the pilot, William the Irishman and Arthur the Englishman, and two or three others. And Luis Torres. The latter was a thinker, and a Jew in blood. He carried it in his face, considerably more markedly than I carried my grandmother Judith. But his family had been Christian for a hundred years. Before I left forecastle for poop I had discovered that he was learned. Why he had turned sailor I did not then know, but afterwards found that it was for disappointed love. He knew Arabic and Hebrew, Aristotle and Averroes, and he had a dry curiosity and zest for life that made for him the wonder of this voyage far outweigh the danger.
There was a hymn that Fray Ignatio taught us and that we sang at times, beside the Latin chant. He said that a brother of his convent had written it and set it to music.
Thou that art above us,
Around us, beneath us,
Thou who art within us,
Save us on this sea!
Out of danger,
Teach us how we may
Serve thee acceptably!
Teach us how we may
Crown ourselves, crowning Thee!
Beltran the cook's voice was the best, and after him Sancho, and then a sailor with a great bass, William the Irishman. Fray Ignatio sang like a good monk, and Pedro Gutierrez like a troubadour of no great weight. The Admiral sang with a powerful and what had once been a sweet voice. Currents and eddies of sweetness marked it still. All sang and it made together a great and pleasurable sound, rolling over the sea to the Pinta and the Nina, and so their singing, somewhat less in volume, came to us. All grew dusk, the ships were bat wings sailing low; out sprang the star to which the needle no longer pointed. The great star Venus hung in the west like the lantern of some ghostly air ship, very vast.
Thou that art above us,
Around us, beneath us,
Thou that art within us,
Save us on this sea!
WE were a long, long way from Spain. A flight of birds went over us. They were flying too high for distinguishing, but we did not hold them to be sea birds. We sounded, but the lead touched no bottom. West and west and west, pushed by that wind! Late September, and we had left Palos the third of August.

Crowbar – Holding Nothing lyrics
Holding nothing
Scratch the walls just to survive
You can't fathom what that's like
You can listen to you lies
In the end you'll do your time
Holding nothing
Staring at myself again
What I see would swallow you
In your eyes I'll always be nothing
Never did you understand
Never did you give respect
Never did you ever love

Is There a Doctor in the County?
Living in a thinly populated area has its advantages but also some disadvantages — such as not having a doctor within 40 miles.
The Austin American-Statesman puts some numbers on something I've read of before, which is the fact that some Texas counties don't have a resident doctor. How many? Try 27.
Some of the problems lie in the lack of opportunities: "A lot of people aren't looking to live where there's no movie theaters, a limited number of churches, no choices in schools." Being the only doctor in an area also makes it hard to take a day off.
Stay Engaged
Tort reform has helped some, by making medical malpractice insurance not so expensive. The Texas Public Policy Foundation reminds us, however, that government payment schemes (remember, Medicare is the single-largest payer of health care in this country) distort the supply of doctors. It also says that restrictions on the supply of nurse practitioners don't help matters.

Wonderful article entitled "The Transparent Library: Embracing Service to Teens" by Michael Casey and Michael Stephens in the May issue of Library Journal on providing library services to teens and how we can accommodate teens with appropriate library services that they want rather than just pushing them away because they are too loud or noisy.
In MPOW, we have developed a space called
Virtual Verging All Teens (V.A.T.) at the Jurong Regional Library to cater to teens. We have teen volunteers help run V.A.T. by organizing programmes such as band performances. The volunteers also conduct book club sessions although we have not gone the route of having game consoles like some libraries in the U.S. In a couple of years' time, we will have another space for teens to hang out at a new library at the soon-to-be=built youth park/centre, *scape.
So, what are your thoughts on services to teens in libraries? Should we be chasing them out of our libraries or actively work with them to make it a win-win situation?
Anyway, I'll be sharing this article with my colleagues and hopefully, we can think of ways to encourage more teens to make better use of our libraries.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - In her first two years as a Syracuse city councilor, Helen Hudson rarely sought the limelight. Occasionally, she found small opportunities to improve life in poor neighborhoods.
When Syracuse University and its gas supplier sought to relocate a high-pressure main, Hudson got them to provide 12 new security cameras to the nearby Pioneer Homes housing project. When a developer asked for tax breaks to build an SU bookstore, Hudson persuaded him to hire 10 minority apprentice laborers.
She's gotten her feet wet. This year, Hudson, 53, is jumping into the political deep end.
Hudson recently persuaded a majority of the all-Democratic council to elect her as majority leader. She assumes that prominent role this week with high hopes of launching a new era of cooperation and efficiency -- on the council and beyond.
"I think that I have an ability to bring people together,'' Hudson said. "I have an ability to be able to work with almost anybody.''
Hudson will run council study sessions, where members publicly discuss the legislation before them. She will run party caucuses, where they talk privately.
And she will be the chief liaison between Mayor Stephanie Miner's administration and the council, attending biweekly "leadership" meetings with Miner and her staff along with majority whip Jake Barrett and council President Van Robinson.
Hudson is ambitiously optimistic about what she can accomplish with a collaborative approach. One example: Hudson said she believes civic leaders can reach a consensus on the future of Interstate 81 - an issue that has provoked sharp disagreements for years - and she intends to pursue such an outcome.
"First, we have to put ourselves in a room together - the council, the county legislature, (state) senators, assemblymen, and our congressman,'' Hudson said. "I'm going to give it a shot. Will they agree? I can't say they will. But, I mean, we're talking about our city and our county - why wouldn't we agree?"
The council's relationship with the mayor and her department heads has been strained at times during the past two years, frustrating both sides and occasionally provoking tense exchanges during council meetings. Some of the mayor's proposals linger for months before the council brings them to a vote.
Whether Hudson and the party whip, Barrett, can forge a different dynamic will take time to sort out. "I personally think it's going to be a steep learning curve,'' Barrett said.
Well-known for her community activism against gun violence, Hudson entered politics three years ago with strong support from Miner. Hudson's parents and other family members, including an older sister who served 22 years in the Syracuse police department, counseled her to avoid the harsh and sometimes corrupt world of political deal-making.
"My family members told me to stay far away from it,'' Hudson said. "But I'm hard-headed, and I felt that being involved on this level would give me an opportunity to reach a broader base and bring more resources to the communities.''
When Councilor-at-Large Bill Ryan resigned in December 2010 to become Miner's chief of staff, an unnamed political insider asked Hudson if she was interested in filling out his term. "It was someone familiar with the workings of city hall,'' Hudson said. "I was asked, would I be interested?"
Miner had no power to fill the vacancy - that's the council's purview. But the mayor telegraphed her support for Hudson and singled her out for praise in her January 2011 State of the City Address.
Miner's support backfired. Senior council leaders thought Miner was overstepping her bounds by pushing a candidate on them. The council rejected Hudson and appointed Pam Hunter.
Nine months later, in November 2011, Hudson ran for election and won, garnering more votes than any other council candidate. Hunter failed to gather enough valid signatures to run in 2011, but won election in November 2013 and joined the council this week.
Both Hunter and Councilor-at-Large Kathleen Joy, the previous majority leader, told fellow councilors following the November elections that they were interested in serving as majority leader this year, several councilors said. Hudson later put her name into consideration, and she won over a majority of the council at a Dec. 11 caucus vote.
When Hudson ran for office, Miner not only steered money to her campaign but accompanied her to Manhattan to meet state Democratic Party big shots at a luncheon hosted by Eleanor's Legacy, a women's political group. But Hudson bristles at the suggestion, which she hears repeatedly, that she is Miner's patsy.
"Everybody has allies,'' Hudson said. "That's just the nature of the beast. (Some people) want to keep saying, 'You're the mayor's girl.' No, the mayor is my friend. I do have a brain, okay? I do think. I do have thoughts on things. People get that twisted a lot, and I don't like that.''
Born in Mississippi, Hudson has lived in Syracuse since age 2. She graduated from Nottingham High School in 1977. She has held a variety of jobs, including an eight-year stint at New Process Gear, where she joined UAW Local 624 and headed its women's committee.
For the past nine years, Hudson has worked for United Way, where she is the AFL-CIO community services liaison, helping unemployed and needy people find services and receive job training.
Hudson moved four months ago into a new apartment at the Lofts at Franklin Square on Plum Street. For more than two decades before that she lived at 241 Hall Ave. on the South Side, a house that her son is now in the process of buying from her.
Hudson co-founded Mothers against Gun Violence in 2003 in reaction to shootings that plague the South Side and other city neighborhoods. Hudson's son, Karreem Wofford, survived being shot and stabbed. Her stepson, Wayne Watts, died in a 2005 shooting.
Hudson was tapped in 2009 by Syracuse police officials, including then-Deputy Chief Frank Fowler, to help create the city's Trauma Response Team. Members of the team arrive at crime scenes and hospitals to assist victims' families and to help calm the situation.
Mothers against Gun Violence now has 32 members and has been copied in two other communities. Hudson, who remains active in the group, said she started it as a way to sustain hope amid the violence. The group is best known for holding candlelight vigils on behalf of shooting victims, but Hudson said its impact goes deeper than mere ritual.
"It's just a way to try to build community -- by lovin' on each other -- so that we can get back to a place of civility,'' she said.

(MoneyWatch) The legal blows Apple (AAPL) and Samsung are exchanging have turned the duo into a high-tech "Punch and Judy" show. No sooner did Samsung come within a hair of getting the iPhone 4 banned, only to have the Obama administration overturn the International Trade Commission's ruling in a highly unusual action, than Apple is trying to have Samsung products banned.
Whack! Samsung hits Apple. Smack! Apple strikes back. It's a tit-for-tat, ego-driven affair that years ago moved beyond business necessity into what today amounts to meaningless -- and destructive -- litigation. In the long run, that destruction is likely to rebound on its perpetrators.
- Obama bails out Apple: Now what?
- Samsung Galaxy beats Apple iPhone in satisfaction
- Why Apple, Samsung lost share in a hot quarter
- Why Apple and Samsung are "patent trolls"
- Apple, Samsung and the new price war
The legal wrangling is over patents, the legal protection companies get for their products and other intellectual property. But the concept as originally created centuries ago was to protect inventors who came up with that better mousetrap. These days, patents, particularly in the consumer electronics industry, much more often cover some small software feature or literally microscopic tweak to a piece of silicon. For instance, the number of patents a new cell phone must clear has soared into the tens of thousands.
Once, manufacturers of mobile devices were in an era of intellectual property detente bolstered by an unspoken promise of mutual destruction. And now? Treaties are out the window. There is no reasoning because each side -- incomprehensibly wealthy with enough money to buy entire countries -- is determined to be top dog.
Neither side can ultimately become the only choice of the smartphone buying set, so this entire exercise is futile, a waste of corporate resources and a distraction from real business. The speed with which the industry sees upsets should be a goad to innovation as a way of staying ahead. But both Apple and Samsung have begun to be criticized for losing their way.
Genuine business problems, such as despair among the workers who actually make the products, are ignored, other than the occasional public pronouncement and purgative hunt for the culprits. No industry can indefinitely float on a sea of misery, no matter how profitable.
If corporate inclinations were not enough, the Obama administration has vastly aggravated the situation by bailing out Apple at the last minute from having the iPhone 4 barred entry by the U.S. International Trade Commission. What will happen now if Apple succeeds in blocking Samsung through the courts, which doesn't give the president a ready way to intervene? Screams about hypocrisy from South Korea, an important ally and an electronics superpower? An eventual trade war?
Unfortunately, there is no end to this in sight. Neither Apple nor Samsung seems willing to compromise. Maybe it will take a full ban on many gadgets, along with consumers and businesses rising up, to give a collective dope slap to both.

Banks Woo Funds With Private Peeks
One day in early March, the phone lines of hedge-fund traders around London and New York suddenly lit up. A stock that many of them had placed hefty bets on— Pride International Inc., an energy company in the process of being sold to a rival—was falling. The traders had no idea why.
They soon figured it out: J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. had hosted a meeting that day between a handful of hedge-fund traders and executives from a company that was considered a prime candidate to start a bidding war for Pride. One of those executives had indicated they weren't likely to make a bid.
The lunch meeting casts a spotlight on a practice that has long occurred in the shadows of Wall Street and the City of London—but which is now causing concern among regulators and some banks.
Investment banks vie for business from elite hedge funds by offering traders at those funds special access to senior deal makers and corporate executives at dinners and other gatherings. The traders sometimes pick up valuable nuggets of information that aren't available to other investors, according to people who have attended such gatherings.
The meetings are held by many of the world's largest investment banks for their hedge-fund clients. The funds are prized clients because they collectively pay billions of dollars in fees each year for buying and selling stocks. Banks including Bank of America Corp., Barclays BCS 0.31% PLC, Citigroup Inc., C 1.23% Credit Suisse Group AG , J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley , MS 1.08% UBS AG UBS 0.65% and Scotiabank host the gatherings, generally several times a year or more, according to traders, bankers and brokers.
Representatives of the banks say their investment bankers aren't permitted to discuss material nonpublic information, and that the meetings serve a legitimate business purpose. In addition to helping the banks win trading business, the get-togethers allow the bankers and corporate executives to cultivate relationships with the hedge funds, the banks say. The funds often are major shareholders in multiple companies and frequently help determine the outcome of key corporate events that are subject to shareholder approval, such as mergers and acquisitions.
But the longstanding practice is coming under fresh scrutiny as regulators in the U.S. and U.K. try to discourage the dissemination of market-sensitive information to select groups of investors. Amid intensified scrutiny of insider trading, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently warned some banks that they need to be careful that such meetings don't result in the improper exchange of privileged information, according to people familiar with the matter.
Under insider-trading laws, it is generally illegal to buy or sell securities based on "material," or significant, information that isn't publicly available. Securities lawyers say the appropriateness of the meetings banks set up with hedge-fund traders depends on whether such information changes hands and is subsequently traded upon.
It is unclear how often useful trading information is disseminated in the meetings.
The meetings appear to have made some banks nervous. Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s compliance department last year barred its brokers from arranging dinner meetings between Goldman's bankers and outside hedge-fund traders, say people familiar with the matter.
Bank of America's investment-banking arm, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, this year cut down on the gatherings after the SEC expressed concern, although it still allows them in some circumstances, according to people familiar with the matter.
The increased scrutiny comes as prosecutors in the U.S. and U.K. are pursuing a variety of insider-trading cases, some involving information that hedge funds allegedly received from officials at banks and through so-called expert networks. A New York jury last week convicted hedge-fund magnate Raj Rajaratnam of insider trading, including trading on confidential information from a Goldman director. British authorities, meanwhile, have intensified their scrutiny of investment bankers' communications with the media as part of a crackdown on leaks about planned corporate transactions.
Many banks nevertheless continue to hold closed-door meetings with hedge funds on a regular basis, according to traders, bankers and other industry officials. Banks try to differentiate themselves from rivals by dangling access to key players—coveted by hedge funds, for which incremental bits of information can be extremely valuable.
Many banks enlist their senior investment bankers to attend dinners and other private gatherings with hedge-fund traders. Last September and October, for example, Credit Suisse held about a dozen meetings for small groups of investors. Each meeting featured a senior Credit Suisse banker with expertise in a specific industry, who was available to answer questions from the hedge-fund officials.
The banks also set up lunches and other "corporate access" meetings that give the traders the chance to grill top corporate executives about pending deals and other matters.
Such opportunities are rarely available to individuals and other small investors.
The meetings, generally involving at most two dozen hedge-fund traders, sometimes veer into discussions involving potentially sensitive information, for example about planned or pending mergers and acquisitions, according to people who attend the gatherings.
On March 8, for example, the small group of investors gathered at J.P. Morgan's offices in central London for lunch with executives from Seadrill Ltd. SDRL 0.11% , an offshore-oil drilling company. The handful of attendees included representatives of hedge-fund companies GLG Partners LP and SAC Capital Advisors. No J.P. Morgan bankers were present, according to one J.P. Morgan official.
J.P. Morgan arranged the meeting at an opportune time. Speculation had been swirling that Norway's Seadrill would bid for Pride, its U.S. rival, which had agreed to sell itself to Ensco ESV 1.21% PLC in a $7.3 billion deal that had not yet been completed. Seadrill owned a nearly 10% stake in Pride and had previously made no secret of its desire to fully acquire the company.
On Feb. 24, following the announcement of the Ensco-Pride pact, Seadrill had said it had "not decided how to react to the present offer, but we appreciate Ensco's effort to consolidate the industry. We will consider our options in the coming weeks."
The prospect of a bidding war had lifted Pride's shares above where they likely would have traded in the absence of a potential interloper.
At the March 8 lunch, though, as the traders munched on scallops and fish, Seadrill vice president and board member Tor Olav Trøim splashed cold water on the idea of a bid. He recalls telling traders that the company's Feb. 24 statement was "not normally what you would say if you were interested in bidding yourself."
His intended message, according to one person familiar with the matter, is that Seadrill was "very unlikely" to launch a competing offer for Pride.
The information was market-moving, traders say. In the hours after the lunch, some traders wagered that the odds of a bidding war had declined. Seadrill's shares rose more than 1% as it was viewed as less likely to pursue a costly acquisition. Pride's shares fell by about 0.5% in the minutes before markets closed.
The moves may seem small, but they were significant for "merger arbitrage" traders, who make short-term bets on deal stocks. In the case of the Ensco-Pride deal, the movements translated into a sudden 64% spike in the deal's "spread." That arcane measure reflects the difference between a target company's stock price and the per-share value of the acquirer's offer. The spread is closely watched by hedge funds that focus on merger arbitrage, which stand to gain or lose large sums based on the spread's movement.
As the shares moved, anxious investors bombarded Seadrill's investor-relations office with phone calls, trying to figure out whether the company had issued new guidance about its appetite for bidding on Pride, according to a person familiar with the matter. Company officials responded that they hadn't released any new information.
Mr. Trøim says Seadrill executives regularly meet with large and small investors and that it is appropriate to help them understand the company's strategy. "We cannot see that we in any way have crossed any lines for giving privileged information," he says.
It is unusual for the meetings to yield market-moving information about pending deals. Regular participants say traders are more likely to come away with a deeper understanding of a specific industry or company or of a certain chief executive's temperament and management style.
Still, some hedge-fund officials say they regularly attend the meetings in part out of fear that they'll miss the one that yields a valuable nugget.
Spokesmen for some of the banks say that to ensure nonpublic information isn't improperly shared, the gatherings are chaperoned by bank compliance officials who vet traders' questions in advance.
Several bankers and traders who regularly attend such meetings dispute that characterization. They say compliance officials are rarely present. The discussions, they say, often are free-wheeling and delve into the latest chatter about companies that are in play.
Some bankers say the meetings make them uncomfortable because they feel under pressure from the investors to divulge sensitive information.
"It made me congenitally nervous," said a banker who until recently worked at a top Wall Street investment bank. "It certainly should be on [regulators'] radar."
"There's clearly an element of risk in it," another banker said. "You're relying on a banker's judgment and on him not having too much to drink."
Hedge funds are a big business for banks. U.S. and European hedge funds last year shelled out a total of about $3.7 billion in brokerage commissions to banks for equity trades, according to research firm Greenwich Associates.
Large hedge funds generally have relationships with many banks. They route their trades based on a variety of factors, including the fees charged by banks and their ability to get the best price for whatever security the hedge fund wants to buy or sell.
Hedge funds, craving any information edge over other investors, sometimes also route their trades through firms that get them in the room with plugged-in bankers and executives, according to traders and bankers.
"If you can provide your client with good information, that distinguishes you," one banker says.
The meetings with bankers and corporate executives are useful not just for the information gleaned over dinner. Afterwards, traders sometimes phone their new acquaintances, peppering them with questions about specific deals.
At around 7 o'clock on a December morning, a senior Citigroup banker was boarding a commuter train on the outskirts of London when his cellphone rang. On the line was a hedge-fund trader he had met a few nights earlier at a dinner hosted in a plush Citigroup dining room.
The trader called with questions about a potential takeover deal the banker was working on for a client. The banker said he couldn't talk openly about a sensitive topic while on a crowded train. But he invited the trader to throw out some theories about his client's strategy. When the trader hit on the right one, the banker replied: "That's a pretty good explanation."

A man whom authorities searched for in Lake Michigan off the shores of Sunrise Beach in Lake Bluff for four hours Tuesday morning has been found safe, officials say.
The Lake Bluff man, whose identity is not being released, told police he stepped onto an ice ledge to remove his dog from the area and fell into waist-deep water, Lake Bluff Assistant Village Administrator Ryan Waller said.
A witness who saw the man from a bluff above the beach left the area to find a passerby with a phone and called police at about 7:15 a.m., Lake Bluff Fire Chief David Graf said.

Code 99: Miami
Hector "Skip" Pacheco
Chief of Miami-Dade Metro Police
"Skip" Pacheco rose to fame in the third year after the Ghost Flu, as the commanding officer at the scene of the Bayfront Park Riot. His calm authority helped to quell the riot and was widely credited with preventing a stampede that could have resulted in hundreds of deaths. Lionized in the media, he rose quickly through the ranks and was easily confirmed as Chief of Police a few months ago.
Pacheco is a volunteer at his church, a staple of charity fundraising throughout the city, a highly respected member of the Cuban community in Miami, and a devoted husband and father of six. All but one of his children are cops or headed for police careers.
During the riot, he saved anti-mutant protesters, but later participated in the investigation that revealed the protest leaders as having hired the heightened killers. This even-handedness led to a reputation as a trustworthy broker between communities when disputes arise.
Cop house rumors have it that Skip owes his Bayfront Park heroism to a secret weapon: one or more officers with mind-influencing powers, who discreetly calmed the crowd by influencing its most volatile members.

David Dorfman Dance performs at college's Dance Festival
A Bates Dance Festival favorite, David Dorfman Dance returns to Maine with underground, a compelling and provocative exploration of political activism. The festival presents David Dorfman Dance at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, July 20 and 21, in Schaeffer Theatre, 305 College St., Bates College.
Inspired by social protest and the incendiary activities of the Weather Underground during the 1960s, Dorfman captures the era's restive mood and dangerous politics through an electrifying combination of live performance, cutting-edge LED technology, 60's music, a score by Jonathan Bepler (composer for Matthew Barney's Cremaster films) and video design by Jacob Pinholster (Spamalot and Wicked). The piece, underground , premiered at the American Dance Festival in June 2006, receiving its New York premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in November 2006.
A dozen local dancers join Dorfman's company to create an atmosphere of political protest that challenges the audience with disturbing questions about the nature of protest: What happens when activism veers into violence? Can killing ever be justified? Dorfman and his skilled performers embody the urgency and desperation of these issues with their passionate performance.
Since its' founding in 1985, David Dorfman Dance has performed extensively in New York City and throughout North and South America, Great Britain, and Europe. Dorfman and the company's dancers and artistic collaborators have been honored with eight "Bessie" (New York Dance and Performance Awards).
The company marked its 20th anniversary season and the start of its third decade of performing in 2005 and 2006. David Dorfman Dance has been produced in New York City at venues ranging from Danspace Project to The Joyce Theater, where the company celebrated the start of its 20th anniversary season in June 2005.
Founder and director Dorfman most recently received a Guggenheim fellowship for his work on underground. He has been honored with four fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, three from the New York Foundation for the Arts, an American Choreographer's Award and a 1996 "Bessie" New York Dance and Performance Award for his community-based project" Familiar Movements" ("The Family Project"). His work has been commissioned widely in the United States and in Europe, and in 2003 he won a Barrymore Award for best choreography at Philadelphia's Prince Music Theater for the original musical "Green Violin."
In addition to main stage performances, the festival offers a selection of free and low-cost events. Complete information is available at the website.

Make It Or Break It
With a lack of funds facing The Rock team for Nationals, Kim and the other mothers decide to host a mother-daughter fashion show. But what starts as a fun idea ends up causing trouble for everyone. Ronnie is so busy with the details that Kaylie feels ignored, especially at a time when she could really use her mother's advice about love and sex. With her mother out of the country, Lauren is paired up with Summer, much to her chagrin, but tries to use this opportunity to catch Carter's eye. Furious at Chloe for spilling secrets to Damon, Emily is mortified for her "out there" mother to even be at the gym, let alone to walk a runway with her, while Payson, not wanting to waste time with "girlie things," tips off Kim that maybe she hasn't been a great role model in the feminine world. Will all the mother-daughter teams get it together in order to raise the money, or will the whole show become a nightmare that puts everyone at each other's throats? Meanwhile, after spotting her with Carter, Summer gets the feeling that Lauren is over her head in the boy department and tries to help by opening up.

A Portland-based telecommunications company that was selected to work with Verizon Wireless to expand service in rural areas, says it was "blindsided" by Verizon's sudden change of mind in Washington County.
Wireless Partners, which built and operates what it describes as a "state of the art 4G LTE VoLTE wireless network" for Verizon Wireless and its customers in Washington and East Hancock counties in Maine and Coos County in New Hampshire, said in a news release it had no prior notice of Verizon's planned withdrawal from the Downeast county.
Verizon Wireless has notified 2,000 of its customers in Washington County that it is pulling out of its rural service agreements there as part of pullback affecting up to 40,000 of its rural customers nationwide.
Maine Public reported that Verizon sent notices to its Washington County customers urging them to sign new contracts with other cell phone providers by Oct. 17 if they wish to retain their current cell phone numbers.
Maine Public Advocate Barry Hobbins told Maine Public that Verizon apparently found that the calling plans it introduced in Washington County, which featured no cap limitations as a way to entice new customers, proved more costly due to higher-than-expected roaming costs.
Hobbins said he would be meeting with Maine Attorney General Janet Mills to determine how the state might respond.
David Weismann, public relations manager for Verizon's Northeast Market, told Maine Public the company notified only a small group of customers who live outside the company's service area and who use a significant amount of data that it was canceling service, adding that the decision would not affect customers who live within the Verizon service area.
Wireless Partners was made aware of the Verizon customer termination letters not by Verizon Wireless, but by concerned customers in receipt of the notification, the company said in its release.
Bob Parsloe, CEO of Wireless Partners, issued the following statement:
"Access to 4G LTE is an essential 21st century infrastructure need and it is the mission of Wireless Partners to meet that need in rural, underserved areas of Maine and New Hampshire. To that end, Wireless Partners built, owns, operates, and is expanding a Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network in Downeast Maine. Along with our network users, we were blindsided to learn that Verizon Wireless mailed subscription cancellation notices to their customers on this network.
"Wireless Partners was not given advance warning that Verizon Wireless was planning to restrict new customers nor terminate existing customers. We were only made aware of this development from concerned Verizon Wireless customers who were in receipt of the cancellation notification.
"Verizon Wireless did ask Wireless Partners to assist them in reducing the contractually agreed costs of using our networks. Wireless Partners promptly informed Verizon that it was ready to address their concerns. At no point during this dialogue, which continues in earnest, did Verizon Wireless indicate to us their intent to restrict new customers and cancel current customers."
Parsloe said his company had received "overwhelming support" from communities served by its 4G LTE network.
"However, Verizon Wireless' recent actions have turned that exuberance into significant concern among business owners, public safety officials, and everyday consumers for whom this is their sole means of cellular voice and broadband internet service," he said. "In respect of our mission, our network users, and the potentially devastating public safety and economic development consequences, we will exhaust every effort to cause Verizon Wireless to rethink this extremely consequential decision and to honor the promise of its LRA program. We are hopeful that a resolution is achievable and that this critical infrastructure will remain in service."

From Macomb, Michigan, USA:
My 13-year-old daughter is on an insulin pump and is in excellent control. However, out-of-the-blue, on several occasions, she gets pain that starts in her abdominal area then moves around to both sides towards her back area. I cannot seem to pinpoint a cause or tie to any activity or food, area. She can go months without any pain, then have these pains for days in a row. She usually has to lie down and takes Motrin to ease the pain. Any ideas? She has not yet started her period.
Recognizing that this is the epitome of practicing medicine from a distance, I guess it may be related to her ovaries and pain there, but it could be her kidneys, gall bladder or appendix. It is impossible to practice medicine like this over the Internet. Your pediatrician should be able to help.

Monday, 21 November 2016
Gen3 TFSI engines keep surprising us with how strong and durable they are. The TTE525, by TheTurboEngineers, is the largest turbo that we would recommend for a stock engine. It can produce big amounts of power while keeping boost under the 30psi/2bar safety threshold. In essence, it is a much bigger bolt-on turbo that

Audi S3 8P 2.0 TFSI – Loba LO500 upgrade
Monday, 21 December 2015
You know it has to be something special when a 2.5 TFSI turbo kit is used on a 2.0 TFSI engine. Big turbo upgrades are always challenging on the 2.0 TFSI EA113 platforms, but this combination provides excellent results. This upgrade follows the same principle behind the TTRS stock turbo kit on 2.0 TFSI engines.

DC Circuits:DC stands for Direct Current because energy is supplied by the battery to fuel the dormant electrons. These now exhilarated electrons move throughout the circuit until the battery is exhausted. To make a circuit, it has to be closed, and by this I mean that a battery must be connected to a series of wires and resistors (such as lightbulbs) so that they form a loop for the electrons to travel. Like the requirements for a polygon in geometry, there can be no breaks or gaps.
As you can see here, to the left, the ammeters are demonstrating the fact that in a series circuit, the current is the same at every point. Why might that be? Well, let's look geometrically at the circuit. It is a closed loop, with only one path (around the circuit, from one end of the battery to the other). Since the electrons have only one path to travel, they can't get split up (as in parallel). So, the current remains the same everywhere because the constant flow is concentrated in only one path, therefore it is constant on that one path.
If we look at both pictures, specifically at the voltages, we will discover something else. The voltage of one light bulb (18.33V) is exactly one third of the voltage of the batteries (55V). It isn't a coincidence that there are three bulbs. What happens is this: the voltage supplied by the batteries is split evenly among the bulbs (since they have the same resistance). Unlike the constant flow of current, the voltage has three places to go across the circuit. Due to the current and resistances, the amount of voltage is determined with every resistor. This illustrates the conservation of energy (voltage).
The current is the same at every point in the circuit. An equivalent resistance can be calculated by adding the individual resistances of all of the resistors. The total voltage is equal to that of the battery, but can also be found by adding the voltages through each of the resistors.
The voltage, on the other hand, works differently. It is the same in every branch. The voltage on every branch is that of the battery, 19V in this scenario. This is due to the fact that the voltage has many paths to go across, which is the reason that it doesn't have to split. Although that reason makes the current split, the voltage works otherwise. Here, the voltage of every light bulb is the same, and equal to the battery. Every bulb has its own path for the voltage to go across, thus making every branch have the same voltage. The voltmeters in the pictures help to show this idea.
Of course, all of this depends on the resistance. Since all of the bulbs have the same resistance, and the batteries have none, the currents are split evenly. If the resistances changed, so would the currents although the voltages would stay the same since they don't depend on the resistance (and since if the resistance changes then so does the current, and when multiplied together, the result will always be the same).
The current is equal to the sum of the currents through each parallel branch. An equivalent resistance can be found by taking the inverse of the sums of the inverses of the individual resistors. The voltage is the same through every branch of the circuit.
Current works as a mixture of ideas from series and parallel here in a complex circuit. If we recall on some ideas, we know that from series, the current is the same every where, and that from parallel, it is spilt between branches. That is seen here. First we must treat the entire parallel segment as one part of a series. Then we see that the brighter bulb has 2.2A, or the total current as seen by next to the batteries. We also see that the entire parallel segment has 2.2A, but spilt between the branches, as explained earlier.
Thus, the current acts in a predictable manner. It is equal at every point, but under the condition that the parallel segment is considered one point.
The voltage is also another mixture. In series, it is split amongst the resistors. In parallel, it is evenly distributed to each branch. To observe this, one would have to look at all four pictures. The batteries supply a total of 33V. Now notice that the bulb in series gets a total of 22V, not the full 33V. Just like in series, no single bulb (if there are more than one) gets all the voltage. Then one can notice that the other two bulbs in parallel each have 11V. The voltage was split evenly across them, like predicted. But why in such a complicated pattern?
After the series bulb eats away at some of the voltage, there is only the remaining left for the parallel bulbs to consume. It is no coincidence that 33-22=11. After using some voltage, the series bulb left some remaining voltage left for each of the parallel bulbs. Both parallel bulbs have the same remaining voltage because they are in parallel (Read above). In the end, you will notice that the voltage consumed by the series bulb added to the voltages consumed by either one of the parallel bulbs results in the total voltage drop of the battery.
To find the equivalent resistance, add the equivalent resistance of the parallel branches and add that to the series resistor. The total current can be found by taking the voltage supplied by the battery and dividing that by the equivalent resistance. To find the voltage in the series resistor, multiply the total current by its individual resistance. Now to find the volatge in the individual branches of the parallel part, subtract the voltage eaten by the series resistor from the total voltage. To find the individual currents of the parallel resistors (unlike the series one, which has a current equal to the total one, as suggested by series), take the new found voltage and divide that by their individual resistances. If you will notice, the sum of the currents that are in the parallel branch equals the total current.
I hope you enjoyed my thorough and novel-like explanation of circuits, because after all, we couldn't live the same way without them!

CNBC's Rick Santelli appeared on at least two radio programs today to promote his "rant" against President Obama's housing program. On G. Gordon Liddy's radio program, Santelli called attention to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs's response to his tirade. He cropped a quote from Gibbs to suggest the White House was pursuing a campaign of intimidation against him:
SANTELLI: He started that press conference saying, "I don't know where he lives, I don't know where his house is." This is the Press Secretary of the White House. Is that the kind of thing we want? Is that —
LIDDY: It's a veiled threat.
SANTELLI: It really is. […] I don't really want to be a spokesman, but I really am very proud of a) the response I'm getting, which is overwhelmingly positive, and b) discourse, that is debate. That if the pressure and the heat I'm taking from the White House — the fact my kids are nervous to go to school — I can take that, okay.
Listen here:
Santelli also appeared on Mike Gallagher's radio show, again stating "it was very scary" to have the White House Press Secretary say, "we don't know where he lives or where his house is."
The White House, however, has made no threats against Santelli. Here's Gibbs's full quote (which Santelli conveniently failed to use):
GIBBS: I've watched Mr. Santelli on cable the past 24 hours or so. I'm not entirely sure where Mr. Santelli lives or in what house he lives but the American people are struggling every day to meet their mortgages, stay in their jobs, pay their bills, send their kids to school
Gibbs wasn't threatening Santelli; he was pointing out the sheer absurdity of a well-to-do pundit criticizing Obama's housing plan as seeking to simply "subsidize the losers' mortgages."
As the Wonk Room has reported, The Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan aims to help up to "7 to 9 million families restructure or refinance their mortgages to avoid foreclosure," thus halting the ever-increasing number of foreclosed upon properties dragging down home values for entire neighborhoods. Santelli is not working to promote constructive debate about the merits of the President's plan. Instead, Santelli — who made his rant before even reading the plan — has called for a "new Boston tea party" protest and appears more interested in spreading falsehoods with Liddy, a Nixon-era political operative who actually conspired to kill a political opponent.
Today's Progress Report notes that media outlets are still shamelessly promoting various byproducts of Santelli's outburst, with CNBC and Drudge leading the way.
In September 2008, Santelli claimed the economy was healthy. Watch it:

For about two decades, the Illinois state government failed to put aside sufficient funds to cover
the ever-increasing future pension benefits of its public-sector workers. It used the money instead to pay for expanded government services. As a result, the state has a $9,624 public debt per capita, second only to New York's
$13,840. Largely as a consequence of this runaway debt, Illinois has the lowest credit
of any state in the Union.
decades of egregious financial mismanagement have plunged the
once-thriving economy of Illinois into financial ruin. The state's
job-creation rate ranks a lowly 48th
in the U.S., outpacing only Ohio and Michigan in that regard. With
lawmakers raising
state spending at twice the rate of inflation in recent years,
Illinois' $9,624 public debt per capita is second only to New York's
$13,840. Largely as a consequence of this runaway debt, two of the
nation's major credit-rating corporations, Moody's and Standard &
Poor's, currently
Illinois the lowest credit
of any state in the Union. When S&P downgraded Illinois' rating
in August 2012, the agency specifically cited
concerns over the state's "weak pension funding levels and lack of
action on reform measures," which means "Illinois is bankrupt,
and the public unions aren't going to budge an inch on their
pension demands."
Indeed, Illinois' pension obligations to
its public-sector workers rank as the major cause of the state's
financial woes. Almost two-thirds of the Illinois state government's
debt consists of bonds
the government has issued to cover those obligations, which are
unaffected by recently enacted policies raising the retirement age
for new workers and limiting the pensions that future workers can
earn. As of October 2012, Illinois' total pension shortfall was
conservatively estimated at $85
In October 2012 a State Budget Crisis Task Force (SBCTF), led
by former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker and former New York
lieutenant governor Richard Ravitch, concluded
that Illinois' fiscal mess developed because "budget gimmicks
became a standard practice." During
the 2001 recession, for instance, the state began issuing
a type of short-term debt permissible only during emergencies and
within certain limits. But even after the recession had passed, the
same "emergency" borrowing practices continued, in order to raise
revenues for the payment of overdue bills.
decades Illinois has "balanced"
its annual cash budget by not putting aside sufficient funds to cover
the increase in future pension benefits. This practice continued even
during the economic prosperity of the late 1990s to mid-2000s, when
money that could have been applied to those benefits was used instead
to pay for expanded government services. The net result, according
to SBCTF, was that the state made "even smaller payments to the
pension systems, borrowing heavily, sweeping special funds, and
putting off paying Medicaid and employee healthcare bills until the
following budget year." "This chronic shortsightedness and
avoidance of tough choices," said the Task Force, "has
accumulated to a significant structural deficit for Illinois." As
a result of this financial irresponsibility, said
SBCTF, "Retirees may lose their pensions as
the funds dwindle, low-income and disabled people may lose their
health care as costs escalate, and citizens and businesses seeking a
stable environment may face steep and sudden tax increases."
2011, Democratic Governor
Pat Quinn, who succeeded the notoriously corrupt Rod
Blagojevich in 2009,
the largest tax hikes in Illinois history—raising
income taxes by 67% and corporate taxes by 46%.
The result was not what the governor had banked on. Many businesses
fled the state, an even greater number threatened to leave (forcing
Quinn to respond with some
concessions), and Illinois pension plans remained the worst-funded in
the nation.
In January 2013, Standard & Poor's downgraded the Illinois state government's credit rating from "A+" to "A" -- worse than any other state in the Union -- citing a "lack of action" on changes aimed at decreasing the state pension system's unfunded liabilities, which were expected to reach $93 billion by the summer unless action was taken. Moreover, S&P gave Illinois a "negative outlook," saying the state's budget future remained uncertain.
In June 2013, Fitch Ratings -- citing Illinois' continued failure to make progress toward solving its public-employee pension crisis -- downgraded the state's credit rating yet again, from "A" to "A-minus." At the time, the state's five employee retirement systems owed $97 billion worth of unfunded future liabilities.

Hello and welcome to part 3 of my WeakAura School. Today I'm going to teach you how to build your own Cooldown Aura. I will use Revival as template, but the principles of making a cooldown aura remains the same for any cooldown. You can use this guide to make a cooldown aura for any spell you'd like. Let's get started!
If you are unsure of how the WeakAura menu works, take a look in my basic tutorial of WA in part one of my guide.
The finished product will look like this, on and off cooldown;
To-do list
- ("New") Create a new Group.
- ("New") Create a new Icon aura.
- ("Trigger") Set trigger to Revival, show off cooldown.
- ("Display") Change size and disable 'stacks' text.
- Duplicate the Icon aura to a second identical one.
- ("Trigger") Change trigger on the new Icon aura to on cooldown.
- ("Display") Desaturate the icon.
- ("New") Create a new Progress bar.
- ("Trigger") Set trigger to Revival, show on cooldown.
- ("Display") Change size, color and text effects of the Progress bar.
- ("Animations") Make the auras Fade in and Fade out when transitioning.
- ("Load") Set it to load only when on a Monk with the Mistweaver spec.
(1) Start off by opening the Weakaura menu with the command /wa. Create a new Group and name it; Revival CD. This will be the aura that shows when Revival is not on cooldown.
(2) Go to "New" again and this time create a new Icon. Name it; Revival Off CD and put it in the new group (if you are unsure how, look it up in part one of my guide).
(3) We will start with the most important thing; the triggers. Go to the Icon aura's trigger tab. Change the "Type" into Status, in the drop down menu. Another drop down menu pops up called Status. Go to "Cooldown Progress (Spell)" in the new menu.
Type in "Revival" in the Spell text field. The "Show" setting should be set to Not on Cooldown. The trigger tab should now look like this;
(4) Go to the "Display" tab and you can find width and height by scrolling down to the bottom of the tab. Change it to whatever size you like, for example 50×50.
There's a number "1" on our Icon that we want to remove. The default setting is that the aura shows stacks (hence the number), which we can disable at the top of the Display tab. There's a "%s" in the Text field. Just replace it with a blank space and the stack number should be removed.
(5) You can easily create a new identical Icon aura by right-clicking on it and select "Duplicate". It's a nice shortcut when doing Cooldown auras!
The new Icon aura will be our aura that pops up when Revival is on cooldown. Rename it to "Revival On CD".
(6) Go to the new Icon auras Trigger tab (make sure the right aura is selected in the list of auras to the left). This aura should have the same trigger settings as the other one, with one exception. Set "Show" to -> On Cooldown.
(7) Go to the Display tab. Enable "Desaturate" to make the icon gray. You can find this option near the top of the Display tab.
(8) Now we're going to make the progress bar. Go to "New" and select Progress Bar. The default progress bar doesn't look anywhere near what we're after, but that's fine. We're going to change it! Put the new Progress bar in the Revival CD group and rename it to "Revival Progress".
(9) Believe it or not, but the progress bar should have the exact same trigger settings as the desaturated icon aura. Therefore, set it to;
Status; Cooldown Progress (Spells), Spell; Revival, Show; On Cooldown, as we did before.
(10) Now for the magic. Go to the Progress bar's Display tab. We're going to start by turning the progress bar right side up.
Set "Orientation" to -> Top to Bottom. Then tick the Inverse option. Now the bar fills upward, instead of depletes downward!
Rotate Text should be set to None.
If your aura is not showing the proper Icon, you can deselect "Automatic Icon" and then search on Revival to find the correct one.
Okay, so there's still too much text and an icon we want to remove. Scroll down a bit in the Display tab and deselect both the "Icon" option and the "Top text" option. We don't need them, only the Bottom Text should be enabled!
You can change the text settings to your liking. Here's my settings;
Font; Old Cyrillic
Font Flags; Outline
Font Size; 12
Text Color; #00ff8d (you can paste the color code in the Color Picker window).
But you can set it to any option you'd like!
At the bottom we can find Width and Height. Set it to the exact same size as your Icon auras. In my case, it's 50×50. Now the Progress bar should be close to what we're after, but not quite.
Go back up again to the top of the Display tab.
Set Bar Texture to "BantoBar" in the drop down menu ("Smooth" is also quite nice). You can find this menu at the very top of the Display tab.
In the Bar Color Settings, you can change color and alpha (transparency) of your Progress bar. Set it to a color and a transparency setting of your liking. I use this color #02ffb8 and a 90% alpha setting.
Your Display tab should look something like this then, in all its glory;
Here's a summary of your individual auras' looks and triggers;
(11) We're almost done! Now we're gonna set the transitions, a.k.a. make the auras fade in and out when they pop up and disappear on the screen. We could repeat this process on each individual aura, or we can be smart about it. If we select the whole group in the list to the left (you select it by just clicking on it), we can do changes to all of the group's children at the same time. So, click on the Group and then go to the group's Animation tab.
If we make any changes here, all of the individual auras in the group will get the same settings. Hurray for short cuts! Change the settings to this;
Type; Preset
Preset; Fade In
Type; None
Type; Preset
Preset; Fade Out
(12) One last touch is to set the the weakaura to load only when we're on a Monk in the Mistweaver spec. Do this by going to the "Load" tab (still have the Group selected).
Player Class; Monk
Talent Specialization; Mistweaver (or Specialization 2)
Congratulations! You've created your own Cooldown aura! You can use this guide to create any kind of cooldown aura you like, just replace the spell "revival" in triggers with the spell you want. Hopefully this guide wasn't too difficult to follow, I'm open to feedback! And as always, if you are unsure of any of the basics of WeakAuras, go to part one of my guide.

The offer, which is nonbinding, follows weeks of due diligence by the consortium, whose members are: AlpInvest Partners, Blackstone Group, Carlyle Group, Hellman & Friedman, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., Permira and Thomas H. Lee Partners. VNU said it will continue to weigh its options and would provide more information within three or four weeks.
VNU, whose assets include Nielsen Media Research, ACNielsen, Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter, became a takeover target late last year after it failed in its effort to acquire health care industry research company IMS Health for $7 billion.
The proposed deal led to a shareholder revolt that eventually cost VNU CEO Ron van den Bergh his job. Shareholders considered the IMS deal too expensive and not in line with VNU's strategic direction.
