A workshop dedicated to Dynamic New Athletics (DNA) was held as part of the build-up to the format's debut at the Minsk 2019 European Games.
DNA will bring a new type of track and field to the second edition of the continental event in the Belarus capital.
Held over two hours, it sees teams of men and women vie for supremacy in 10 events, which organisers say embraces "the basic athletics building-blocks of running, jumping and throwing".
Disciplines include the "Track'athlon" - an athletics assault course featuring a sled run, shot put toss, standing long jump, water jump, medicine ball run and parachute run - as well as "The Hunt", a distance-medley race in which the best-performing teams in the first nine events will get a proportionate head start.
Standing-room only for the Dynamic New Athletics (DNA) workshop for coaches at the European Athletics Convention in Lausanne. Not long now till DNA's debut at the European Games Minsk 2019! https://t.co/nWeYriUC0w— EurOlympic (@EOCmedia) October 26, 2018

The format was tested on September 27 at the Dinamo Stadium in Minsk, which will be a key venue at the second edition of the European Games.
There was said to be "standing room only" for the workshop which took place at the European Athletics Convention in Switzerland's Olympic capital Lausanne.
The event at the Hotel Royal Savoy allowed coaches to hear about the format as the countdown to Minsk 2019, which opens on June 21, continues.
Officials including European Olympic Committees President Janez Kocijančič and European Athletics President Svein Arne Hansen have already given their backing to DNA.
Its introduction comes after a low-key athletics competition at the inaugural European Games in Baku in 2015, which lacked star names and was seen as being devoid of quality.

About Rationally Speaking
Rationally Speaking is a blog maintained by Prof. Massimo Pigliucci, a philosopher at the City University of New York. The blog reflects the Enlightenment figure Marquis de Condorcet's idea of what a public intellectual (yes, we know, that's such a bad word) ought to be: someone who devotes himself to "the tracking down of prejudices in the hiding places where priests, the schools, the government, and all long-established institutions had gathered and protected them."

"The capacity to make free choices is not something we either have entirely or not at all. Rather, choices become freer the more they are the result of our own capacity to reflect on and assess facts and arguments." - Julian BagginiReplyDelete
Didn't Spinoza have an idea of freedom that can be described as an awareness and understanding of one's determined situation? How does Baggini's idea differ from Spinoza's?
I like the Baggini article.ReplyDelete

One day, in a talk on various subjects, Dogen said,
Originally, there is no good or evil in the human mind. Good and evil depend on the situation. For example, when we arouse bodhi-mind and enter some mountain or forest, we think that staying in the mountains is good and living in human society is bad. But then, we get bored and leave the mountain thinking it bad. This is because the mind has no fixed characteristics; it changes in various ways depending on the circumstances. Therefore, if you encounter good circumstances, your mind becomes good; if you encounter bad circumstances, your mind becomes bad. Do not think that your mind is bad by nature. Just follow good circumstances.

What is true of two very special women of Venice may be true of any woman one is attracted to – they are known only by representation. The first I spotted on the island Cemetery of San Michele in Venice. She emerges in high relief from what I swore upon seeing her for the first and second time was green alabaster or marmo verde more precious than many a gemstone. In reality, she is cast from mere bronze, but some how made alabaster or marble scrumptious by the patina of oxidation and the startling detail: obviously gorgeous hair piled, piled, circled, and pined; slender, oh so very appealing body draped in a gauzy, but permanent negligee sufficiently modest for a tomb. She lies upon a divan, the almost breathtaking beauty of a young woman in light repose; head turned toward you with lips that practically speak: "kiss me", "wake me, Dear Lover". She makes one believe the story of Pygmalion, where the poor fellow chipped, chiseled, and sanded so much love and beauty and heart into ivory that even Venus took pity and gave it a life of womanhood, motherhood, and death. Or the story of Daedalus using quicksilver to give his statutes voice. One aches to hear her voice, to know her womanhood, to age with her into death.
The representational facts are sparse: "Sonia" is engraved on the stone accompanied only by "Born 20 Febbraio 1885 a Za Bomgewka, RU. Died 6 Febbraio 1907 a Venezia". Below, on the flagstone is Russian writing. Merely sharing her story and a picture was sufficient to convince several Italian University friends to join up for a second trip and to bring along a Russian speaking colleague to help ferret out more facts. Miscommunication prevented the rendezvous, but a mid-twenty something Italian woman named Mariagrazia accompanied me. She was intrigued by my effusiveness and desirous of visiting the grave of a recently deceased friend for whom she had made all the arrangements.
Mariagrazia looked at Sonia while I was waxing eloquent about all the poetic, romantic possibilities. She looked for awhile and said: "she committed suicide and drank something to do it". I was not dismissive, but it did make me laugh for its ingenious inventiveness. I was skeptical, but it was an intriguing idea. Given all my predilections, this Sonia and that scenario seemed just too implausible. The next day I received an email from Mariagrazia with Google search results showing the astounding, surreal nature of her intuition. Sonia Kalinskey was, by one account, of Russian aristocratic origins who came to Venice during carnival and died from a self-administered dose of laudanum in the magnificent, Five-Star (then and now) Danieli Hotel "due to a disappointment in love".
There is another whole story about the deep intuitive soul of Mariagrazia, but best left for a separate episode. I now wish I had asked her who she thought loved Sonia so much he dedicated his own, smaller version of Taj Mahal riches in order to realize such a careful, oh so very loving, homage. I say "he" because I was convinced from the first glance that no one but a lover would have scoured the Venezia Terra Firma for a modern Pygmalion. Perhaps that lover was the sculptor himself, though the evidence speaks against it. We know he was Enrico Butti (1847-1932). His age, the other sculptures he was creating throughout Europe at the time speak of solely a commission. Some patron, someone ensured that mere bronze was imbued with something so close to Sonia, so very close to a woman who would break any man's heart that, like the Ivory Girl, she too emerges almost capable of being palpably touched, kissed, and very tenderly loved; A beauty who would otherwise have merely taken her forgettable place in that common parade of aging, birthing, laughing, suffering and disappearing into just another Mausoleum shelf – the kind of shelf where her long gone, loving representer resides unknown. But, his caring and his obvious love has left her to me these one hundred years hence – a dynamic specialness, a ravishing hint of companionship.
It is entirely possible, of course, that my conviction was entirely wrong. Perhaps longing obscures the deeply loving father or mother wounded the wound that life will never cure; parents forever diminished at the loss of so precious a child, at the loss of their young Darling on the cusp of bringing those deeper joys adult children bring into the life of the aging. Perhaps their sorrow was the love that gave her her last form from which she might well be saying: "Wake me to the day Dear Papa". "Oh Mama, kiss your girl into life".

What are your plans? 🙂
For me, i'll be spending the 3 days to catch up on my blog entries, going to church and spending time with my loved ones..
Of course, i will also allocate more time to catch up on my sleep (Recently, i have been having insomnia!)
Because of this, the condition of my skin has gone downhill and it has become so dull, sensitive and lifeless.
Went for Facial yesterday and i'm so glad that my skin looks so much brighter..
Right now, i will need to make sure that i do my mask regularly (Which i have not been doing) in order to keep skin in tip top condition…
Few weeks ago, Garnier has sent me its latest mask for review – Second Skin Mask..
There are two kinds of mask under this latest range and they are the Light and Aqua Defense (for whitening and hydrating skin respectively). The Second Skin Mask is produced using an innovative technology that allows the mask to fit and stay on all curves of the face perfectly, so no adjustments of the mask will be needed after application…
Why is it known as the Second Skin Mask?
Simply because the mask will adhere to facial contour perfectly as it uses innovative quality fitting tissue which is designed specially to fit Asian. This allows the mask to stay on all curves of the face perfectly and there's no need to repeatedly adjust the mask while masking. The second skin mask will be suitable for all skin types as only natural ingredients that are gentle yet potent on the skin are used. These micro nutrients soaked in the mask will penetrate into the all parts of the skin giving the user a flawless, illuminated complexion in just 10 minutes.
If you have dry flaky skin which needs major hydrating boost, the Aqua Defense Hydrating Glowing Essence Second Skin Mask will help replenish all the moisture loss and protects it from any harmful factors.
Especially for working adults, our skin will be constantly exposed to external aggressions like staying in an air-conditioned room for long hours.. This kind of harmful exposure might even continue at home while we sleep (if you are sleeping in an air-conditioned room at night) .
Aqua Defense Mask is formulated to highly nourish the skin with Tanggula Glacier Water, White Tea, Green Tea Extracts and Vitamin E. Tanggula Glacier Water is obtained from 5000m high Tanggula Glacier and it run untouched water loaded with natural minerals that are known to help retain natural moisture in skin. Combined together with the special and powerful blend of anti-oxidants (Vitamin E, white tea and green tea), it forms a protective layer to guard skin from aggressions.
If you have dull skin concern and want brighter skin, Garnier's Light Intensive 3 in 1 Whitening Essence Second Skin Mask will help whiten and even out skin tone..
My Verdict
Since it is approaching the time of the month, my skin seems more sensitive so i guess hydration and enhancing protection against harmful external source will be useful… So i'll be reviewing the Aqua Defense mask in this post..
The material of the mask feels so soft and smooth on my skin.. The thin translucent sheet feels weightless after i have put it onto my face. Normally, i will face issue with 100% coverage of mask on my nose area (I have a non-existence nose to begin with) but this mask covers my entire face perfectly.. No trapped air bubbles are observed so it means the mask lies closely fitted to my skin.. Also, the mask stays fitted on my face so no re-adjustments are needed.
After applying the Aqua Defense mask, my skin seems less red which means sensitivity is reduced.. Applied the mask in the morning before heading out and at the end of the day, skin is less oily (This shows that my skin is more hydrated which reduces the amount of sebum secretion).

(CNN) - President-elect Barack Obama's top adviser insisted Sunday that Obama's economic plan would be big enough to handle the country's financial challenges, but he declined to speculate about how large the plan would need to be.
During the presidential campaign, Obama proposed a $175 billion stimulus package over a two-year period, but some of his economic advisers have said recently that the package would need to be much larger.
Asked if Obama would scale up the package, given the economic conditions, Obama's incoming senior adviser, David Axelrod, said he thinks Obama is "going to do what's necessary."
"I'm not going to throw a figure out here. What he said is, he wants a plan big enough to deal with the large challenges we face. And I think there's a growing consensus across the spectrum among economists that we're going to have to do something big," Axelrod said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."
Obama on Saturday offered an outline of his economic recovery plan to create 2.5 million jobs by 2011, saying American workers will rebuild the nation's roads and bridges, modernize its schools and create more sources of alternative energy.
Details of the plan are still being worked out by his economic team, Obama said, but he hopes to sign the two-year, nationwide plan shortly after taking office January 20.
Obama noted he will need support from both Democrats and Republicans to pass such a plan, and said he welcomes suggestions from both sides of the aisle.
Soon to be President Obama has started right out of the gate to get us on the right track. Refreshing.
I think it's pretty simple if you want to create more jobs:
1) STOP bringing people from every country on earth into the US to take our jobs. End The H-1 and L-1 programs, and others like them.
2) STOP outsourcing our jobs. Make it unprofitable for US companies to outsource jobs. End tax breaks for companies that outsource jobs, and add news taxes, levies, or whatever it takes.
3) SECURE the US/Mexico border. An estimated 1 million people are crossing the border every year, and many US companies view these people as cheap labor, and they take advantage.
Do these 3 things, and there will be jobs here. This is not rocket science.
Going back to Americas traditional trade policies of tariffs would fix everything in Americas economy. Free trade and globilization has driven down wages and cost many good paying American jobs thus driving down Americas purchasing power. No matter how much you cut taxes for the wealthy so they can supposedly create jobs when wages are too low very few goods are sold. Even a drummer knows an economy has to have buyers to work. Protectionism rocks!!!!!!!!!!!
JOBS,JOBS,JOBS, and HEALTH CARE, fix those 1st ! Then we the people can more easily stand up for you Obama..without these, the people have nothing ! America comes 1st..Take care of us 1st, then worry about the rest of the world..For if there is no us, then there is no reason for you..Charity begins at home..we need JOBS, HEALTH CARE..we need to be manufacturing things HERE, and getting paid decent wages to do so..FINE companys that are sending our jobs away..then expecting us to keep supporting them with taxes etc, that we cant pay if have no jobs..and if we the people cant take care of our own familys, then there is no one left to take care of other countries either..AMERICA 1st....
Dont make promises you cant deliver Obama. You talked enough to be elected ,now lets see the real you.
All right! Socialized economy, here we come!
Oh wait, that sucks. And it's on my dollar!!!
Are there any people that run a small business in Obama's crew.
Someone that started one and made it go? You know one of the most important business people. Its kind of a joke that he is only bringing in BIG business and investors.
Sad.. Another broken promise.
sandy-pa: you have my vote...sandy in 2012 go sandy. and while your at it will you just tell the people in the middle east to go chill and if they dont we will use the mtns for a rock quarry lol
simple – lower taxes. obama's grand marxist plan to stimulate the economy is to steal from the productive and handout to the unproductive. tax and spend spend spend.
like usual liberal policy, we'll certainly be paying for it for decades to come. his "tax cuts" – which are really redistributive welfare, will discourage working. it seems obama's only answer to getting what he wants in any industry is TAX TAX TAX.
taxes don't create jobs.
give us an ACTUAL tax cut, not "tax credit" welfare, and slash the absurd 35% corporate tax rate so we can be competitive with the rest of the world. the government and the unions have latched on and leeched off of the productivity of america and we need to burn those leeches off before we can get healthy again.
Report positive news and people will follow. America is in a depression we need some positive news. Send a positive message across the airway.We are tired of hearing about the hate, one or two people actions are not that of everyone.
Hello everyone;
Oh! but that should not surprise anyone, right?Course not!,...wait until pres elected Obama takes the helm in Washington,...he-he THEN! IS WHEN WE ARE GOING TO DROP LIKE LEAD DOWN -DOWN TO THE DEEPST ABYS OF FINANCIAL TOTAL OBLITERATION.And then, we become the weak nation as our enemies wanted us to be just like almost magic!
I Told you Obama is a 'TROJAN HORSE FACTOR' for the downfal of our great country,...nobody want to look hard on this , everybody is like still hypnotized by the 'Obama collective-syndrom' ,...pity!,...we are aproaching the point of no return.
Not too far in the near future all those COCOZOIDS, who voted for Obama, will wish to have a TIME MACHINE to go back in time and undo what is done.
Well, sleep well in your illlusions, until the big crack emerges.
Daniel Cabrera
Merrillville, Indiana
We'll see.
Hello again! I agree with Sandy and Joe The Drummer inasmuch as I wish our government would adopt the same policies. We too have seen our work devalued occupation by occupation through the shortsighted policies of the neocon element. What our government failed to realize is that when you hurt your tax base, your economy is under serious threat of sinking completely. Now our government is talking about running a deficit in order to 'stay the course'.
Due to some short-sighted changes made to attract voters, the Conservative Government of Canada is breaking its promise to not run a deficit.
There are many many more Canadians now that are a paycheque away from being homeless thanks to these policies, and it can get cold up here. I have great respect for your country's choice of your next President, and wish you well. Rock on America! 😀
Sandy in Pa.
Sounds like good sound Conservative principals. Do you REALLY think Obama and his Dems will support any such ideals?
From what I have seen so far, all I hear out of Obama and Pelosi, BAIL THEM OUT. Everyone who has mismanaged thier companies in the last 12 years will be rewarded with a bail out.
EXCEPT the common taxpayer who is up to his or her butt in debt because we can not afford to survive without charging or borrowing.
I heard this morning, Pelosi wants to give the auto makers 75 billion now instead of the 25 they asked for. Whats up with that? Pelosi and Obama owe the UAW some votes do they?????
Obama idea of fixing the economy is printing more money and giving it to the white collars of this country.
Why do they just not give every american a share of the bailout money? If you have a mortage, that money MUST go to pay that, direct deposit right to your loan institution.
Sandy – Pa., I agree, but I go one step farther. We need to find a way to bring the rest of the world UP to our standards, not allow our big businesses to go there and get rich off the backs of poor labor that can be worked like slaves.
I recall about 15 years ago or even more talking with a visitor here from Mexico. She said that the big American companies come to their country and build factories. Their workers live in paper shacks around the plants, so that they can sleep close by and save time going home. She said that they work them 16 even 18 hours a day seven days a week for little of nothing. She said that if the people complain, they tell them to leave that there are people waiting in line for their jobs. I was appalled. That sounds like turn of the 20th c. U.S. labor without unions.
We fought to change that evil and won. Now our companies go to 3rd world countries, and repeat the same deplorable policy of working people like slaves with no benefits to anyone but themselves. If we learn from history, we know that this is unacceptable!
Man's inhumanity to man must end, and we are the only ones who can end it! We, the People, of the world... beginning with We, the People, of this country. Call me a dreamer... I probably am. But I think Obama has the drive to make this dream of world equality and peace come true... not in socialism or any other ism, but democracy.... fair government and equal opportunity the world over for all the People, not just the few.
wow.. the super god you elected has promised everything to you,, hope you get what you all deserve,,, the brightness shall wear off after jan 22 2009,,, watch and see,, btw i just won the carolina cash 5,,, moving my 250000 to some where else,, so i will not have to give it away...
We need to stop sending our companies to other countries. We need to have jobs for the Americas rather than allowing bringing people out of the country to fill job positions.
We truly hope Obama can make the changes necessary to help our economy.
At least it will be a change from the past eight years, which has gotten us into this mess.
Conservatives should study both current news and history to see that:
A.) The GOP JUMPED at bailouts - and Bush is still in office, if you are looking forward to a socialist economy, you can thank them first.
B.) This is not SOCIALISM. Any self-respecting socialist I've ever read about would laugh in your face at the suggestion it is.
I can see the vindictiveness and spite that began under the Cheney/Rove dynasty will continue. Too bad for this country.
I have always jokingly taken credit for things never under my control therefore, I will take credit for the Clinton balanced budget since I braced then Representative Bill Richardson at a town hall in New Mexico years ago to fix the budget and begin paying off our debts. Sometime later, Clinton hired Robert Rubin who bought back old debt with new lower interest debt, balanced the budget and we had a surplus. Not one to waste a chance a glory, I claim credit ergo can I please have another chance??? Mr. Rubin is one of Obama's advisors and one of the best ever so can America enjoy his wisdom just once more???
Some Americans are whinning, gripping and complaining about where all the money is going to come from for rebuilding our own economy, something that will actually benefit us.
When we are spending at least $10bn every month in Iraq alone for the last 5 years which amounts to at least $ 600bn, something that we as a People of America are not benefiting from, I don't hear anyone ask where is that money coming from. The truth is every month, from Janauary to December, $120bn is pretty much wasted.
We seem not to question the source of our finances when it is been used for something that is unprofitable to the United States i.e Iraq war. But when it is been spent to help our own economy such as building our infrastructure, bailing out the auto industry, renewable sources of energy like the President -elect said, people are questioning the spending.
Stupidity is an understatement in my view for those criticizing this move by President-elect Obama.
I am for anything that will Help this economy and against anything that will be a waste of money.
Barack Obama has a humungous task ahead of him.
I do not even pretend to know the solutions, but have enough
faith in him and his decisions to know he will will get our
country on the right road.
The biggest hurdle will be to get the republicans to stop the
bipartisanship and work together to save our country.
Saw yesterday where they are raising funds to stop the
left wing agenda. That really is putting country first,
isn't it.
well so far i see most of the comments preceding me are based on a world "that used to be" – get over it! Some thing will have to change to adjust to the global inequities that are faced today.....Marxsism is not even an issue just a word to divert attention to the failed policies of the past. – thankfully the president elect is smarter than these posters and has the respect and attention of brilliant minds and hearts in this country as well as the rest of the world. One man's terrorist is another man's hero.....we need to understand the religious and human beliefs of countries other than our own – the world has shrunk and we are one human population and this is our planet and this planet must sustain us all or our petty politics is just a big joke.
we need jobs, jobs, jobs, and some more jobs !!!!!!
Obama will 'do what's necessary' as long as that involves imposing punitive taxes on anyone who actually works for a living. How dare they do something so inegalitarian? How dare they repudiate their proper roles as spineless dependents on the Nanny State?
Remember folks, Obama is not a magician. This is a very complex economic problem; one that defies simple, bumper-sticker solutions. But at least already even before taking office, he's working on it. More than the present administration seems to have been doing for 3 or 4 years!

The foundation for future champions
Every young rider yearning to try racing after mastering the basics needs the perfect bike to take that first step. The Kawasaki KX™65 is the ideal choice. From a group of friends at a track to fully-sanctioned motocross races, the KX65 is an excellent platform for developing and honing those racing skills. With its liquid-cooled, high-performance two-stroke engine, full-race chassis, long-travel suspension and disc brakes, the smallest KX model is an ideal starting point for young riders who aspire to motocross greatness.
The heart of the KX65 is a liquid-cooled, 64cc two-stroke engine matched to a smooth-shifting six-speed manual transmission and manual clutch. The engine is bolted into a semi-double-cradle steel frame, and like the larger KX models, the KX65's swing arm uses the UNI-TRAK® linkage system, which applies progressively stiffer damping and spring rates to the single rear shock as the suspension is compressed. The shock and fork boast four-way adjustable rebound damping for optimal handling.
Lightweight aluminum rims reduce unsprung weight to help improve suspension action, and both wheels feature hydraulic disc brakes that not only provide great stopping power, but require little maintenance and simplify wheel removal.
Youngsters who race their KX65 at designated events are eligible to receive support from Team Green™, Kawasaki's amateur racing support program. Each year, Team Green provides regional support vehicles and highly trained technicians at more than 100 events, offering technical information and assistance to those who race Kawasaki products. Kawasaki also offers a comprehensive contingency program for amateur and professional riders who place well at designated events.

Baked ziti is one of my favorite easy vegetarian dinner recipes of all time. It takes just a few minutes to throw together into a dish and toss into the oven. In about half an hour, dinner is ready! Even better, with a smaller family, there are almost always leftovers for lunch the next day. For larger families, this is a cheap meal that's super simple to stretch even further just by doubling the recipe. My grandmother used to make baked ziti to feed our massive Italian family during parties.
Check out our video tutorial, then read on for how to make this insanely simple dinner recipe. When you're done, print out the recipe card so you can whip it up whenever you want!

I love to sprinkly my baked ziti with plenty of Parmesan cheese, so you might want to add some of that to the dinner table. I know, there's already plenty of cheese in it, but honestly, I add Parm to just about everything! You can never have too much cheesy goodness! This recipe pairs perfect with a side salad. My gran would always make up a huge bowl of salad and put it on the table, along with some fresh bread. That's really it! The ziti itself was filling enough that we didn't need a ton of sides!

i am in love htc. when i begine used smart phone is, 1st xda 02, 2nd htc touch hd, and now htc incredible s. i think htc company has it own knife that is Sense UI. it very good, better than other smart phone. i hope htc will became the top of all smart phone.
if you cook your own roms, you are never without a feature you want
HTC eager to earn quick money, lack of local advertisement, poor marketing strategy, should concentrate on customer needs and do more promotion to attract customer further...
I think the problem with Htc is that they tend to ignore the emerging markets like Africa. Making high end phones that no body buys makes no sense at all. Samsung understood this and is taking advantage of this in the emerging market making mid range phones like the galaxy ace,pocket for this markets and also high end phones for the markets that can afford them. Htc phones are way too expensive,let the focus on mid range phones for the emerging market and make their presence felt in these markets by opening offices in countries like Kenya,Nigeria etc
Soon HTC will close their offices to the whole world!!!
They are a company of lairs and cheaters who just make their customers fool. HTC is going to be past very soon!
AnonD-30109, 31 Jul 2012it really sad, my lovely brand, HTC. Hope they can manage the market strategy. HTC phone is be... morei agree with you, HTC is good phone
HTC is in a very difficult position their real loss is Brand recognition and this is where Samsung have made huge gains. After Apple Samsung phones (Galaxy top end) have the highest resale values. I buy new Galaxy's every year and tend to get about £200 on buy back there are no HTC phones that give that return after a year.
In a position like this HTC need to exceed Samsung's best to get back into the game. The One X is a good phone but they made two serious errors with the battery and lack of micro-sd slot. They need to listen to their customers.
I do agree that the market is better with HTC in it.
it really sad, my lovely brand, HTC. Hope they can manage the market strategy. HTC phone is better than others. I use HTC phone since o2 XDA series... never let me down :) I'm proud using HTC phones
Lets's hope that HTC pull it together. Fanboys may be happy to see them struggle but it's only going to make us all suffer by reducing competition in the market.
My 2 cents - maybe they could merge with Nokia to give them a foothold in the android market.
Oh yeah, marketing marketing and more marketing! Also reduce the number of stupid low and mid range phones on the market, it dilutes market share. One for each end of the range should be fine.
Is the HTC One x not cheaper than the S3? Get a grip guys, HTC needs to re-focus on what it does best and market it properly. The company is known for designing premium handsets but I would suggest ensuring the software is as up to speed as the hardware. Find your own niche HTC I prefer your build quality to the plastic feel of others. I find the shiny back cover of my blue S3 incredibly irritating. Have no complaints about my One X!
Dear HTC,
In order to compete please lower the price of your smartphones. Google Nexus 7 has done it and it is selling like hotcakes. Price your smartphones higher than Huawei /
ZTE etc...but lower than Samsung,
LG, Motorola etc... Best of luck to HTC.
J2ME user, 30 Jul 2012Well I can think of three or four blunders the HTC management done in the past two years. 1. ... moreWell I agree the 4 blunders that you mentioned and add another one... Lower the price by about 15% to compete with the competition.
That's because HTC is rolling down hill. Back in the day when the TyTn was released, HTC was truly innovative! Now they have their flagship One X with no MicroSD slot and wifi problems. How can you compete with that crap?
I'm sad with them. Finally, they announced that would sell offially their products in Brazil, mas all of sudden fired everybody here and announced that would finish their participation in the country. It's ridiculous. That's why here we only hear people talking about Samsung, Samsung, Samsung, Galaxy, Galaxy, Galaxy.
A lot of error in strategy and marketing. Until now they never make even a decent tablet to sell in the market.
HTC main cause of failure is (i) failure to provide updates to ICS or Jelly Bean for its Android phones that have been released over the last 1 1/2 years (unlike Samsung!), and (ii) Continuing to launch WinMo phones given WinMo do not possess any significant market share. Come on HTC you cna do better - investing in software engineers who can help you resolving the software updates quickly.

According to reports coming out of the CEATEC conference in Japan, Fujitsu has unveiled a concept phone that the Continua Health Alliance has certified for meeting its guidelines of interoperability with personal health devices. While the concept phone's name has yet to be released, the phone at the CEATEC Fujitsu booth getting the most attention is a dual-screen, touch screen device reminiscent of the handheld gaming device Nintendo DS.
UPDATE 2: Fujitsu's phone secured Continua certification at the end of September and will only be available for subscribers of Japanese mobile operator NTT Docomo, Fujitsu spokesperson Adam Blankenship told eWEEK. The medical data is transmitted from the device to the phone via Bluetooth, and can then be sent to doctors and ported into an electronic health record. Fujitsu also stressed that the phone is not a concept -- it's ready to be commercialized and more details will emerge in the next few months, according to eWeek.
Whatever the phone might look like, it is the very first phone that the Continua Health Alliance has certified as interoperable with personal health devices like Bluetooth-enabled pulse oximeters, blood glucose meters, blood pressure cuffs and the like.
The Fujitsu phone is likely only to be available in the Japanese market and is rumored to hit store shelves there within the year.
UPDATE: Continua issued a press release but it offered no new details about the phone: "The world's first Continua Certified mobile phone, created using Continua's design guidelines, will also be unveiled this week at CEATEC. The new mobile phone will manage and transfer health data collected by healthcare equipment that is also Continua Certified," the statement read. "Japan has a strong interest in the health of its residents," Rick Cnossen, president and chair, Continua Health Alliance stated in the release. "Allowing consumers the opportunity to manage their own health helps to reduce healthcare costs, allows greater independence for seniors, and can help manage—and sometimes prevent—chronic illnesses."
Earlier: A representative from Continua indicated to MobiHealthNews that an announcement was forthcoming. Stay tuned for more.
Meanwhile check out this "hands-on" with the dual-screen Fujitsu phone on display at CEATEC -- (still unclear if this is the Continua certified one, but I'd be surprised if it's turns out to be as high end as this one.) Video below:

This Thursday March 4th, 2010 is Divisadero Artwalk! It's always a grand time seeing all the folks visiting all of the businesses along Divisadero Corridor. If you missed out on Swankety Swank's Dark heARTs event, you still have a chance to experience the art that graces the walls! Many of the pieces are reasonably priced (including mine).
Among the pieces on view at Swankety Swank are six paintings by yours truly. The above piece is titled "Dark Hearts Defender" and features an Angel action figure crucified to the painting. My paintings start as collages, composed of images I find interesting and then painted over multiple times. I enjoy this process because I am fascinated with texture and I never know what images will still be seen when the painting is finished. I used oil paint, oil crayons, stencils, and spray paint to achieve the final look of "Dark Hearts Defender." This piece is a 30″ across and 24″ tall masonite board with a hanging frame attached to the back. Click on any of the images in this post for a larger view.
Sometimes my process takes me to dark places. I was listening to Nine Inch Nails' "Pretty Hate Machine" album while spraypainting on handfuls of actual nails and screws on the painting. After I sprayed the nails, I lifted the painting and let the nails and screws slide down the board, leaving trails through the paint. This is my favorite from this set as I am happy with how the light has to fight through the darkness. It makes the images that can be seen all the more special. This piece is titled "Distortion" and is 30″ x 24″.
"Hearts A'Flutter" has a more joyful appearance, but contains images of super-heroes fighting (Mary Marvel is in the upper right corner battling a giant robot hand as it attempts to crush her; Below her to the middle right is the Red Bee wrestling a shark!). This whole painting was originally covered in superhero collage images. Then I painted around and over the images with oil paint. Next, I placed tarot cards over the areas I thought worked best. Then I spray painted over them, blacking out the rest of the board. I used heart stencils to cover the black areas to make it look like the hearts were consuming the images. I limited my color palette to red, black and silver at this point. Dimensions: 30″ x 24″ on masonite board.
"Cacophony" was approached in a similar manner to "Distortion," but I used silver spray paint over the black and left more images viewable. That's Airboy smack dab in the middle. I had a lot of fun using the stacks of nails to create a visual representing conflict. This painting has more texture areas than some of the other pieces due to a thicker application of oil paint. Its dimensions are also 30″ x 24″ on masonite board.
This piece, titled "La Charme," has undergone many transformations before it settled on its final form. I was interested in building up texture with collage and found objects (a combination of glitter, plastic gems and false eyelashes) before I painted the piece with nail polish and acrylic paint. I imitated Jackson Pollock's process with the nail polish and applied the acrylic in washes. This painting is 12″ x 12″ on stretched canvas and the heart centerpiece was added near the end of the process. I was interested in creating the illusion of a heart shaped confectionery with the same appeal of a small cake.
I explored my intention of creating a confectionery illusion as a painting much more with this piece, titled "8 of Hearts." The small cakes were originally sponges cut into the shape of hearts and red acrylic paint was applied generously on top of them. This was after I glued them around the found objects already on the painting (there's Snow White and Dollywood magnets, plastic gems and the metal balls from nail polish bottles embedded in the piece). Candy sprinkles were added after I sprayed a layer of lacquer over the red paint and then sealed with lacquer as well. The red heart cakes are about an inch thick. Like "La Charme", this piece went through many iterations before it became the mostly pink, white and red painting you see now. It is also 12″ x 12″ on stretched canvas.
All of these pieces can be viewed in person at Swankety Swank (289 Divisadero St, between Haight & Page) and are for sale at very reasonable prices.

When we visit:
Northern Ireland is one of the prettiest places in the British Isles.
Unspoiled by rampant development, Ireland's northern coastline is long and full of interestingly haphazard rock formations. It may also surprise you to learn that Northern Ireland boasts the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles – Lough Neagh, just to the west of Belfast.
But this isn't just a country of rugged landscapes and outdoor pleasures. In recent years the country's tourism industry has thrived, thanks in large part to the rich cultural heritage and exciting creativity on display in the cities. Once you come face to face with the country's increasingly enviable music and food scenes, you'll see why.
Belfast is an easy city to walk around, with attention-grabbing sights at every turn –from the Victorian Grand Opera House to the Waterfront Hall and Ten Square. The population in Northern Ireland has risen yearly since 1978, cementing Belfast as a youthful city, with lots of pubs, restaurants and frequent cultural festivals.
Derry's riverside setting makes it the perfect city to just wander through aimlessly, and the friendly locals will happily give you directions if you need. The super-modern Peace Bridge across the River Foyle, built to improve relations between the unionists and nationalists on either side, is a good place to start your journey. From there you'll witness a beautiful view that should give you a better understanding of how the city fits together.
Crumlin Road Gaol is one of the eerier places in Belfast, dating back to 1845. Since 1996, it's been closed as a working prison and is now a fully renovated visitor attraction and an excellent spot to see on a cruise to Northern Ireland. Guided tours take you into the underground tunnel that used to connect the gaol to the Crumlin Road Courthouse.
Belfast's Titanic Experience has nine interactive galleries offering special effects, dark rides, full-scale reconstructions and innovative features. There's a fascinating shipyard exhibition, where you can see the high-tech equipment used in ocean exploration, learn more about the local seas and view underwater footage from Ulster University.
Any ancient artefact hunters will love the Ulster Museum here. Northern Ireland's treasure house of the past and present, it's home to a rich collection of art, history and science, and features many galleries and interactive discovery zones.
In Derry the political history is still apparent, with significant sites dotted around the city. Free Derry Corner commemorates the autonomous nationalist area that once existed – there's also a memorial to the 1981 hunger strikers here too. The Bogside Heritage Trail features 12 huge murals that depict three decades of conflict, a harrowing but fascinating internationally renowned gallery.
Don't miss the award-winning Tower Museum in Derry. It has an open-air viewpoint right in the heart of the city, offering wide-reaching views of the inner city and the River Foyle too.

"We loved the challenge to complete all 50 of the things to do summer 2017.
We had so much fun as a family completing them. My girls Hazel 8, Freya 5 and Ruby 3 have never watched a sunrise. So we really enjoyed an early drive to the beach with breakfast to watch.
Truly beautiful and a memory that will stay for ever. Think that has to be our favourite one :)"

I've edited this article to make it clearer, updating it with a part of the post titled "To Galois or not to Galois". Below, I kept the previous versions of the post.
Have a good day.
I've drawn a right handed 4th degree "function" starting from the zero point (at the center of the circumference) and following the red points i1, i2, i3, i4 points, and then I drawn its mirror symmetric left handed counter-function. They both converge at the 4th degree point i4, creating a finite field or "group" of 4th degree (the small red heart in the first attached picture).
If we extend those + 4th and – 4th functions towards their 5th degree, the red point i5, we'll see that the mirror symmetric functions will diverge. So, the 4th is the maximum degree we can use when it comes to converging mirror symmetric functions to create their closed groups.
One of the analogies that is used to explain the insolvability of quintic and higher equations is to imagine that we enter in a building with infinite floors and that we are able to ascend to the next larger upper floors because each floor has each own stair. But when we arrive to the fourth floor, we find the stair to go the fifth floor is missing. We cannot go up to the next floors then. And so, it does not matter if the seventh floor has or it has not a stair because we will not be able to arrive there.
On the above geometric figure, the stair of the 4th floor to go up to next floor is broken because it's not just about having only one stair, it's about having two stairs on each floor, or two mirror symmetric sides of a same double stair that should converge at the fifth stage to create the fifth floor itself. Each side of the double stair starts from a different location of the 4th floor. And the building has the form of a spiral tower because the next floor will be rotated with respect to the 4th floor. Actually there will be al least two 5th floors rotated towards opposite sides.
But my dears ones, geometry is not a metaphorical approximation to the abstract mathematics. Numbers are not purely abstract entities, they all represent a distribution; any distribution implies a space; and any space implicates symmetry or asymmetry.
Anyway, to be able to make converging the two extensions of the 4th functions, we would need to twist them in such a way that the symmetry will be broken.
And that's what Galois demonstrated with his theory. That the symmetry or the structure of the "Galois group" resultant for the equations of fifth or higher degree becomes so complicated that it is not possible to get a solution with using simple mathematical operations.
But I think we can also create another 4+n degree function that will converge, acting as its counter-function, with our extended 4+n function by using only 4 degrees and without changing the original symmetry, or changing it slightly. To do that, we will need to build the new mirror symmetric 4+n counter function starting it from the n degree point of the precedent 4th degree function instead of starting it from the Zero point (Functions of degree 4th and below start from the zero point. I did not represent the functions of degree 1,2,3 on the picture as they are not problematic, but they would be placed inside of the 4th degree field).
As a result, the 4th+n degree field will be built as a transformed and rotated extension of the 4th degree field.
The red and black colored "heart" represent the field of degree 5th; its right and left perimeters are its quintic functions, the left negative one created as a positive extension of the quartic negative function, and the right positive one created as a positive extension of the negative function of degree 1.
The above picture represents the sextic function and its 6th degree + field (colored in green)
In the same way, we also can build another quintic field (the black and red heart) rotated towards the left side having a negative sign that will have a mirror symmetry with respect to the positive quintic field rotated towards the right side:
And we can build a mirror inverted quartic function (the inverted heart with the blue borders):
In this way, we can build the next 4+n degree converging functions and counter functions by extending other functions of lower degree, without changing the original symmetry, in this rotational way.
To do that, we will need to build the new mirror symmetric 4+n counter function starting it from the n degree point of the precedent function instead of starting it from the Zero point. (Functions of degree 4th and below start from the zero point). As a result, the 4th+n degree field will be built as a transformed and rotated extension of the 4th degree field.
The mirror symmetric functions and the closed fields they build will cancel to each other if we subtract them, and as they are perfectly opposite, they will give as result zero.
To express these same ideas in a short of "algebraic" approximation:
The 4th degree field F4 will be created by a + 4th degree function F(A) composed by aˆ+- 0, aˆ1, aˆ2, aˆ3, aˆ+- 4, and by its mirror symmetric counter function F(-A) composed by aˆ+- 0, aˆ-1, aˆ-2, aˆ-3, aˆ+- 4.
We can extend F(A) and F(-A) to their 5th degree points in this way: EF(A)= aˆ+- 0, aˆ1, aˆ2, aˆ3, aˆ+- 4, aˆ-5 and EF(-A) = aˆ+- 0, aˆ1, aˆ2, aˆ3, aˆ+- 4, aˆ5, but that extension will not create the 5th degree field F5 because the convergence of the counter functions already occurred at a+ -4 F(A), F(-A) .
So, to create the 5th degree field F5 we will need to create a new 5th degree counter function F(B) of the extended EF(-A) in this way: F(B) = a^+- 0, aˆ-1, bˆ2, bˆ3, bˆ4, bˆ+ – 5
By doing that, as we are following the same intervals that carry the same kind of symmetry (through the red points represented on the diagrams as i1,i2,i3… in) in all our functions from the degree 1 to the degree n, although we get a 5th degree function from the point of view of the extended 4th degree field, from the point of view of the 5th degree field we only have used 4 degrees because the 4th degree point a -1 F(-A) is actually the + – 0 point of the 5th degree function F(B) which is the mirror symmetric counter function of the 4th degree function extended to its 5th degree EF(-A), becoming a F(-B) function that forms the left handed side of the F5 field.
In that sense, the point degree bˆ1 F(B) is the mirror symmetric element of aˆ-2 (F-A), and so on.
As a result, the 5th degree field F5 appears as a rotated extension of the 4th degree field F4.
(The mentioned functions would be the perimeter of the fields they create).
With respect to the intervals I used represented on the picture as the red i1… i7 and the blue R1… R5, I took them from the segment measured through the Z coordinate from the center of the circumference to the center of symmetry (their central point) of the squares 0,25 and 0,50. It can be seen that the squares 0,25, 1 and 4 follow the same interval repeated n times, while the squares 0,50 and 2 follow another kind of interval.
Those different and directly incomparable kinds of intervals of symmetry appear when we displace the Y coordinate towards the Z position, or when we displace the Z coordinate towards its X position.
To use the Z coordinate at the same time we use the quadratic coordinates XY, implies that we are introducing a new plane, the irrational one, on our working space and we displace it from our rational and anchored XY plane. The effect is the same as if we were expanding the space (from Y to Z), increasing the length of our primary (and "Rational") referential segment 1 that will become an irrational segment, and we were contracting it (from Z to X) again.
Those rational and irrational intervals will converge at the i7 and R5 points where the 7th degree and 5th degree functions will converge with their counter functions.
I think those converging points will represent non-trivial zeros of the Riemann Z function because they will be complex zeros formed by a rational and an irrational part.
– – – – – – – I addded this last pagrapah at May 18 2018 – – – – – – –
I'm going to add today several other pictures that I think could clarify the post.
Let this figure be (this is a formula that mathematicians love to introduce their ideas) a 4th degree group:
If we try to create the 5th group from this unique 4th group, as the curves alreadu converged at the 4th degree point (starting then to diverge) the result is that the to make the lines converging on the i5 point of the Y coordenate we will need to twist them cresating a different structure that breaks with the symmetry of the 4th and lower groups:
To fix the broken symmetry of the 5th group it will be necessary to build it from two 4th groups, a + and a – 4th group, that would be "complex conjugate" groups.
So the 5th group that respects the symmetry would be an extension of two complex conjugate group (it's said that when two groups are inside of another larger group, this larger group is an extension of the smaller groups).
This 5th group that respects the symmetry of the lower degre groups can be built on Z, being the 4th complex conjugate groups on X and Y:
But that symmetric 5th group can also be built on Y, being the 4th complex conjugate groups on Z + and Z – :
If we think as Galois said that 5th functions cannot be solved by using simple mathematical operations because of the complicated symmetry of their structure, I think it's reasonable to guess that it will be possible to solve them by radicals if we are able to fix the broken symmetry of the 5th group.
Anyway, I think it could be sayd the 5th degree field is a extension field of two conjugate Galois groups, and that the symmetry is respeccted.
Building the whole figure, we can see that kind of structure is always repeated. The resultant figure would be formed by "hypercomplex Galois groups of conjugate field extensions":
I will keep researching.
On the other hand, the Galois' groups of symmetry were also used to solve another old question related to the posibility or impossibility of finding out a general way of dividing any angle in three equal parts, in a simple way just with a compass and a straightedge. That problem is known as the "Angle trisection".
It was Pierre Wantzel who, on the base of Galois theory, demonstrated at the XIX centrury that it was not possible to find that general solution to the trisection using simple tools. Yo can take a look at his article here: Wantzel demostration.
In this sense I think that if the problem of the trisection is also related to the breake of symmetry, maybe there is a way to fix the broken symmetry in a similar way I did above for the 5th and higher functions.
The below picture represents a case were the trisection can be performed easily.
But it would not happen the same if the angle were built on i5,i6 (instead of i4,i6).
I will keep thinking about this question.
Kind regards

This past weekend, it was time for me to upgrade to a new computer system. Reluctantly, I decided to install 64-bit Windows 7 on the machine. I have already had several encounters of incompatibilities. I can't get many legacy video games to install properly. I expected this incompatibilities like this, but I didn't expect common hardware to be incompatible. The Linksys WUSB54G Wireless Adapter is still available for sale in many stores. The box only says it's compatible with Windows Vista, but Cisco/Linksys has obviously supported the thousands who have bought this hardware and upgraded to Windows 7, right?
Well, you would be wrong. Neither Microsoft nor Cisco have provided any support or drivers whatsoever for the WUSB54G card afterover a year of Windows 7 being on the market. Luckily there are people out there who step up and help out the community. Bilal Jaffery has provided community drivers for version 4 of the WUSB54G hardware on the 64-bit version of Windows 7. To check to see if you have the proper hardware, you can flip the device over and check above the serial number.
If you have version 3 or below, I don't believe there is a solution as I have looked everywhere for one. Luckily I had a version 4 card and these drivers have worked very well. Thanks to Bilal for doing something Cisco should've done months ago.

Grateful Dead keyboard player Vince Welnick has died. He was 55.
Welnick took over as the cult band's keyboard player in 1990 and continued until the band retired from performing following the death of founder and frontman Jerry Garcia in 1995.
"Vince passed from this earth on 2 June 2006… after a decade of battling tragedy while creating beauty and light around him," a statement on Welnick's website said.
No cause of death was given on the website.
However, local newspaper Mercury News, which covers the San Francisco Bay Area near where Welnick lived, has claimed it was suicide. They report that the musician was taken, injured, from his home to a local hospital where he died.
Welnick is the fourth keyboard player from the Grateful Dead to have died. Founding vocalist and keyboard player Ron 'Pigpen' McKernan, a heavy drinker, died of liver failure in 1973. Then, Keith Godchaux died in a car accident in 1980 and Brent Mydland died in 1990 of a drug overdose.

After three days of grueling competition in austere environments, Pacific Air Forces bested 13 other U.S. and international security forces teams to capture the Air Force Defender Challenge Championships, held Sept. 10-13 at Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis.
The PACAF team totaled the most combined points in several events, which included realistic weapons scenarios, simulated dismounted operations and combat endurance.
"The competition tested the very same skills Defenders may need to employ on any day at any air base in any area of responsibility," said Brig. Gen. Andrea Tullos, Air Force Director of Security Forces. "They were placed under stress and needed to shoot, move and communicate with their fire team. They were required to maneuver as a team and come upon diverse scenarios requiring them to observe, orient, decide and act."
Tullos presented the trophy to the winning team at an awards ceremony Sept. 13. Addressing the crowd of competitors, cadre, support staff and distinguished guests, the general said, "We will continue to challenge you and surprise you in future Defender Challenge competitions."
Airman 1st Class Curtis Covington, a member of the PACAF team, said the experience was amazing despite being difficult and challenging.
"There were some hiccups but it was just the things you have happen in these kind of scenarios," he said. "You have to be used to adapting; just keep pushing through, not letting it get to you or getting discouraged."
Defender Challenge included 14 four-person security forces teams from 12 Air Force major commands, a team from the United Kingdom Royal Air Force and a team from the German Air Force.
Defender Challenge traces its origins to 37 years ago when Headquarters Air Force Office of Security Police first held an international defender's competition. Defender Challenge returned this year following a 14-year hiatus. The RAF team had held the trophy since winning the last Defender Challenge in 2004.
Prior to the competition, Tullos noted the scenarios would determine the most lethal and most ready team, while increasing the competitive spirit and competency of all participants. The event reinforced Defender ethos and tapped into the competitive nature within security forces and among all ground combat forces, she said.
PACAF won the Defender Challenge title by taking first in the weapons competition and placing second in the dismounted operations challenge. Air Combat Command finished second and Air Force Materiel Command placed third.
By winning the weapons competition, PACAF displayed the highest marksmanship skills of all teams in that category and received the Coleman Cup, named after Brig. Gen. Richard Coleman, former U.S. Air Force Security Forces Center director of security forces and commander from 1997 to 2000. The team from ACC took second in the weapons competition followed by Air Force Space Command in third.
Air Mobility Command won the Sadler Cup. The award is presented to the top team in the dismounted operations challenge. PACAF and the Air National Guard finished second and third respectively in that challenge.
In the combat endurance relay event, the German Air Force came out on top followed by ACC in second and AMC in third.
The Top Shot Award, presented to the top three security forces members for mastering marksmanship skills. Staff Sgt. Benjamin Rodriguez of the Air Force District of Washington placed first; Senior Airman David Hightower of Air Education and Training Command finished second; and Covington took third.

The transmission means, is that sending a signal from one location to another. Transmission technologies refer to the physical layer protocol such as modulation, demodulation, line coding, error control etc. The transmission technology can be categorized broadly into two types:
• Broadcast networks have a single communication channel that is shared or used by all the machines on the network. Short messages called packets sent by any machine are received by all the others.
• Broadcast systems generally use a special code in the address field for addressing a packet to all the concerned computers. This mode of operation is called broadcasting.
• Some broadcast systems also support transmission to a subset of the machines known as multicasting.
• Upon receiving a packet, a machine checks the address field. If the packet is addressed to it then the packet is processed, otherwise the packet is ignored.
• Point to point networks consists of many connections between individual pairs of machines. To go from the source to the destination a packet on these types of network may have to go through intermediate computers before they reach the desired computer.
• Often the packets have to follow multiple routes, of different lengths.
• Hence routing algorithms are very important in the point-to-point networks.
• An important general rule is as follows:
Small, localized networks (e.g. LAN) tend to use the broadcasting; whereas networks located over wide geographical areas (such as WAN) use point-to-point transmission.

Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable to Meet with Justice Department This Week
Shares of Comcast Corporation (CMCSA) were up +0.66 or +1.13 percent to $59.08 per share in Monday's premarket after news over the weekend that the company, along with Time Warner Cable (TWC) would meet with the Justice Department to discuss their merger this Wednesday. Comcast Corp. stock closed at $58.42, down -1.25 or -2.09 percent in Monday's regular trading session.
New York City based Time Warner Cable Inc. is the nation's second largest cable telecom provider, operating in 29 states with 31 operating divisions. Originally named Warner Cable Communications, the company, controlled by Time Warner at the time was spun out of the parent corporation in March of 2009. The company continues to use the Time Warner brand but has no corporate affiliation with cable channels owned by Time Warner such as HBO or CNN.
According to a report by Bloomberg on Friday, regulators at both the Justice Department's antitrust division and the Federal Communications Commission were close to recommending a block to the proposed $45 billion merger between the two companies. Comcast first made a bid for Time Warner Cable on February 13th of last year.
A spokesperson for Comcast said, "The Comcast/Time Warner Cable transaction will result in significant consumer benefits - faster broadband speeds, access to a superior video experience, and more competition in business services resulting in billions of dollars of cost savings, adding that, "These benefits have been essentially unchallenged in the record - and all can be achieved without any reduction of competition. As a result, there is no basis for a lawsuit to block the transaction.
Time Warner Cable stated that, "The regulatory process remains fluid, and we do not intend to comment on our interim dealings with the DOJ, FCC or other regulators. As we have said, we believe the transaction is pro-competitive, in the public interest and that there is no basis for regulators to block the deal.
Regulators are concerned that a merged Comcast/Time Warner would have negotiating power over TV programmers, which get payments from cable operators to show their content. Nevertheless, cable providers argue that the merger could benefit programmers. Comcast and Time Warner say that the merger would improve service and have agreed to net neutrality guidelines that would require them to treat all internet traffic equally.
The meeting between the two companies and the Justice Department is scheduled for this Wednesday and may have the agency require additional measures for the merger to go through. Both Comcast and Time Warner Cable have already agreed to divest 3.9 million customers to Charter.
Both Time Warner Cable and Comcast stocks are up fractionally in this morning's premarket, indicating that investors are proceeding cautiously after the news. Any significant move in either stock will probably not take place until after this Wednesday's results.
