A financial transaction tax is characterized as a levy on a particular transaction of a certain purpose. It is also important for any business and owner to be conscious of. Since the start of the first financial transaction bill in 2008, financial transaction tax bills have been proposed multiple times since 2009 in the U.S.
The bill that is in use now, suggested a tax of 0.25% of stock, 0.02% of features contracts on the buying or selling of specified commodity, and 0.02% of credit default swaps between two firms would be implemented. The projected revenue of this tax, being $150 billion, would be used deficit reduction and job promotion.
While this tax does not apply to families, the businesses within the United States are subject to adhering to these financial transaction tax policies. What do you think about this tax? Is the revenue from it going to appropriate places, or would you rather it be put elsewhere? Tell us in the comments below!

According to USA Today, the company that creates Gibson guitars and Baldwin pianos has filed for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in an effort to stabilize the business in a new deal. Gibson Brands itself was founded in 1894, and though the company had many supporters, their rapidly declining sales in recent years made it difficult to keep afloat.
With this latest anouncement about Gibson Brands, Pathways Consulting LLC has been thinking about the adjustment business owners have to make to their business over time in order to continue on.
When you start to decline in sales in your business, it's very important to come up with a 'gameplan' as to how you will continue your business efforts. As people grow and change, community does as well so often times the service or products you provide become outdated. For instance, many decades ago, they had calltakers for the telephone lines as a prominent job position. As telephones became more self-sufficient in communication, that job position began to become unnecessary. So what could the business owners of those companies have done to adapt and continue their business? Perhaps refine their service to telephone repair or design?
If you are a small business owner, you know how hard it is to keep everything running. The main way to keep it running smoothly is by preparing and planning. Think about how your company could adapt as trends change and your business industry evolves over time.
Welcome to the second part of our three part series of the most important financial statements for a small business owner to know. The income statement, which can also called the P&L (profit and loss statement), is another important financial statement for your small business. We are going to start with a overview of how the statement is arranged, then we are going to dive into how to read the statement in a meaningful way.
In order to build an income statement you will decide on a time period and list out your revenue and expenses accrued during that amount of time. After getting a total for all your revenue this is considered your top line. Then total up the amount of expenses and subtract your expenses from your revenue. This is your net income or bottom line. The income statement is an easy financial statement to build as long as your accounting of your revenue and expenses were accurate.
Reading an income statement is more than just seeing if a business was profitable. The income statement is different from the balance sheet because the balance sheet shows a snapshot of a business at a single point in time. Where the income statement uses information over a period of time. You can find the gross margin by dividing the gross profit by the revenue. The net profit margin can be found by dividing the net income(after taxes) by the revenue. The return on equity can by useful to see how well you are investing your money, by dividing the net profit by the average shareholder equity for the period.
Though the income statement is easy to prepare, the strength lies in what the numbers allow you to see rather than what the top and bottom line are themselves.
As a small business owner, the ability to read financial statements will give you a better idea of how your business is doing. There are many different financial statements but I've narrowed it down to three to focus on. If you dedicate your time to learning these three statements inside and out it will give you a great idea of the financial position of your small business. This will be a three-part blog series starting with an in-depth look at balance sheets how they are structured and how to use them to your advantage when evaluating your business.
Your Balance Sheet will list out all your assets and expenses. The key to this statement though is that it must balance, hence the name. Your assets must be equal to the amount of liabilities plus shareholders' equity. If you accounted correctly these should be equal. Now there are different types of liabilities and expenses that you should know. There are fixed and current assets. Fixed assets are things you are not planning on selling or that cannot be sold easily within a year. This would include things like your physical building, equipment you use, etc. Current assets are things you are planning on converting into cash in the near future. This would include your accounts receivable, inventory, or prepaid expenses. The two types of liability are short term and long term. These are much more self-explanatory; the short term are things that must be paid within the next 12 months of the date of the balance sheet i.e. taxes or loans. While long term would be things that must be paid outside of a year from the balance sheet. These are typically things like long-term rent, bonds payable, or pensions.
So, what are you looking for exactly in your balance sheet? The shareholder's equity is a rough estimate of the company's net worth. Since the shareholder's equity is the initial amount of money invested in the company. The company can, after taxes, choose to move retained earnings into the shareholder's equity account. Important information can be gained by analyzing ratios. The ratio of debt to equity is where your balance sheet becomes extremely helpful. You want to take your outstanding debt and divide it by your equity. This gives you a ratio, it is important to evaluate your ratio over three years to identify a trend. Each industry differs in what debt-equity ratio is acceptable, be sure to do this research if you are undertaking this task yourself.

CareCuts: Way More than Hair
Feb 3, 2018 | In The News
BY DON BARKSDALE
It has been more than a year now since Marti Baker stood up in our church and shared what she felt was a calling from God. At that time, she had been working with Lost Sheep Ministry to feed the homeless and the working poor since 2011. She said God had whispered to her heart that there was something more He wanted from her, something that maybe she alone could do.
"I'm a barber. I cut hair for a living. That's all I am and all I've ever done," she said in a tremulous voice. "I feel like I'm being led to wash and cut the hair of these desperate people to help give them back their dignity and offer them an opportunity to find the path to a more productive life."
It was quiet in the sanctuary as people considered the magnitude and the potential pitfalls of such an undertaking. Very quiet. Then Marti said, "And I can't do this alone. God will provide but I need your help."
serve, not counting the dozen or so members of the Knox County Sheri 's Department inmates who set up tents and tables and chairs and the uniformed officers who direct people and keep the order. Each event is astonishing.
News about CareCuts has spread throughout the city and far beyond. "I had a call from a woman in New York City who heard about us from one of the Knoxville news stories and was working to establish a national ministry for the homeless," Marti said.
"This has been one of the most momentous undertakings of my life. And for Archie, my husband and biggest supporter. On the one hand I'm immensely proud of our success in helping so many." Then she told the story of how an eight-year veteran Navy Seal and his wife met with counselors who set up at CareCuts events to help veterans. As a result, they now have a home near their grandchildren.
So to make a long story short, Marti asked all manner of associates and friends for help and CareCuts was born. From the beginning, Asbury people have been with her, making CareCuts in part our mission too. We prepared and served the meal at the first CareCuts in April 2016 and were heavily involved in serving for the first year. The Asbury men bought and donated a large grill to cook hamburgers. The Church Council provided regular financial support for several months and the Fall Festival Committee donated $1,000 to CareCuts in the fall of 2016. Early in 2017, our Fall Festival Committee loaned CareCuts their soft serve ice cream machine and Asbury volunteers have so far dispensed more than 1,000 servings. Asbury is scheduled to be responsible for serving food again in August of this year. In addition, several Asbury volunteers have helped regularly in a variety of ways month by month.
Meanwhile, Marti has enlisted the support of many other churches in our area in addition to businesses who made generous donations of food, money, and services. She was selected to join the 2017 Knox County Community Action Committee Leadership Class where she met and worked with experienced community leaders. She said, "It was a tremendous honor to be chosen and an opportunity to learn so much from people who have been serving the public in various ways for decades."
So what has CareCuts accomplished? By the end of the rst year, CareCuts had provided 2,039 haircuts and other grooming services to men, women, and children in need. Thousands of meals were served. Several individuals found housing and jobs and are on their way to living stable lives. Some of them worship at Asbury on Sundays when they are able. At each event, an average of 70 volunteers
But she added that in the still, quiet, dark of the night, doubts creep in about how to keep going. "Here I am talking to city and county leaders and media outlets, but I'm not a speaker or a leader. I'm just a barber who loves people."
Marti said that this experience has had a profound effect on her. She says that she firmly believes God has been with her every step along the way, guiding her, clearing the path. Marti said with a smile on her face and twinkle in her eye, "There is no other explanation."
Marti recalled that Maxine Raines, Founder of the Lost Sheep Ministry, told her, "You're doing the work Jesus wants you to do. He will open the door and show you the way."

As an endodontic patient, what should I expect?
A comprehensive examination to diagnose your orofacial pain and pulpal injury, and determine whether your tooth is a good candidate for endodontic therapy is the first step in your treatment.
Non-surgical treatment will be used to eliminate the diseased pulp causing your distress. This injured tissue is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed.
Some cases involve the retreatment of existing root canals. Contamination can cause problems that are similar to those experienced prior to the initial root canal cleaning. Most teeth can be saved by again cleaning and refilling the canals.
Under certain circumstances, microsurgery may be indicated. We are experts in performing this procedure with over 1000 cases completed, and utilize sophisticated equipment such as surgical microscopic magnification up to 20X to ensure the best result.


We are happy to show you several different views of Site #18. Pictures may have been taken in different seasons of the year and the foliage will vary. We continue to work on our sites and the pictures are reflective of the current site. Site is on a Southeast to Northwest axis.

Queen Bee and I started our day at the dog park. We met up with Michelle and braved a cold wind. Ed has real trouble with the cold. He gets cold easily and there just aren't enough coats to fix it...at least not coats that he won't also pee all over. It turns out that Michelle had also not dressed quite warmly enough (I don't know if it would be possible to dress warmly enough). She decided to kill, or warm, two birds with one stone and stuff my dog into her coat. She first did this a couple of Halloweens ago when we had a hell of a snow storm and things were incredibly chilly. Ed seems to love it.
This, my friends, is what Thanksgiving love looks like. I'm grateful for it in all its many forms.
There are all sorts of things to be thankful for, man, woman and beast. Have a great Thanksgiving.


Join us on August 24 at noon for this month's author talk and book signing: Champions of Civil and Human Rights in South Carolina, the first volume in a five-volume anthology. Lare introduces more than one hundred civil rights leaders from South Carolina to chronicle a massive revolution in American society.

Watch: Was that a UFO in the Dubai sky?
UAE residents shared videos with Gulf News of a bright object that flew over Al Khail Road

What was that mysterious hole in the UAE sky?
Dubai: On Wednesday night, residents in the UAE who happened to be outdoors spotted a moving streak of light in the night sky.
Was it a meteorite, an asteroid or a comet? Or was it something out of this world?
Residents who saw the unusual bright light whizzing over Dubai shared their videos with Gulf News and also posted it on social networking sites, who expressed their curiosity as to what the shiny object in question could be.
UFO in Dubai Abdul Hakim
One social media user, who goes by the alias Cat's Got My Tongue, said: "At around 7.45pm a single UFO object appeared for a short time over the skies of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Some speculated as to whether this was a comet, meteor or asteroid?"
UAE unexplained UFO sighting Qlean Media
Ebrahim Al Jarwan, an astronomer and General Supervisor at Sharjah Planetarium, told Gulf News that this was actually the second sighting made within the month.
"This was not a space object and it was not the first time that we have seen this. This is the second time that we have seen the flying object in less than one month," explained Al Jarwan.
"We [at Sharjah Planetarium] have also been investigating the incident and found out that there is a company in Dubai that has been using the aircraft for tourism purposes. The flight was made between the desert of Dubai and Abu Dhabi," he said.
"So the light that everybody saw flying around in the sky was not a natural object, nor was it a meteorite. It was merely flight activity taking place in the UAE."
Indian expat Shiny Shajudheen and daughter Ashley spotted the "awesome but scary flares" in the sky from Al Khail Gate in Al Quoz around 7:50pm.
"I was driving inside our community and my daughter first spotted this weird fireball kind of stuff in the sky. Then I pulled over and took this video," said Shiny.
Prior to recording the video in which two trails of flares can be seen swirling while slowly going down, she said they saw both of them crisscrossing each other.
"It was an awesome sight but scary also as we couldn't understand what they are. We felt they are not meteors. I was wondering if these are some hot air balloons."
Hasan Al Hariri, CEO of Dubai Astronomy Group, confirmed to Gulf News that the UFOs sighted by residents are not celestial objects.
"The video shows us some kind of two fireballs coming down from the sky and they are not following a straight line or a trajectory, from which you can see clearly that it is not a celestial object," he said.
"They are swirling and twisting while falling down and that clearly indicates that these objects are manmade because they are changing the directions. At the same time they are not exploding and their speed is very slow which doesn't happen with the celestial objects like these. So all of these criteria conclude that it is not something coming from the space. It is not a meteor or anything like that," he further explained.
He also speculated that the objects looked like burnt balloons aimlessly falling down.
However, a company providing hot air balloon rides in Dubai ruled this out saying night service is not legally permitted for hot air balloons due to visibility constraints.
Gulf News has approached Skydive Dubai to check if there was any skydiving activity with flares that happened on Wednesday night that could look like this.

Roger Huerta Not Happy Coming Into UFC 87
Tyrone Black
UFC 87 underdog, Roger Huerta, is not happy with his pay and he's speaking out about it just days before the big fight.
From an interview with Fight Magazine:
Huerta is one of a growing number of Zuffa-contracted fighter who feel that there is a disconnection between the company's success and the way fighters are compensated. Huerta's disillusionment with the UFC began when he did press tours for his employer in Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and London and received a $50 per diem for his troubles. It sounds like a a good deal until you factor in time away from training, friends, and family, days often stretch twelve hours or more, and an exchange rate of one UK pound for two American dollars. "Why do you think I don't do PR for the UFC any more?" he asks.
He's also unhappy with the terms of his current contract, but to Huerta, the press tours underscore a larger point: by and the large, Zuffa does not treat its contracted fighters with sufficient loyalty or respect. He argues that many UFC fighters barely make enough to cover their training expenses. He brings up teammate Keith Jardine repeatedly, incensed that a main event fighter is working for ten and ten- $10k to show and 10k to win - while his opponent regularly makes ten times as much.
Huerta's expression hardens and becomes more animated as talk turns to endorsements. The common counter-argument for complaints about fighter pay is that fighters often make more from endorsements and sponsorships than they do for competing. But Huerta has soured on the system after receiving lowball offers from companies who expect fighters to jump at the chance to endorse products. He rails against a Fortune 500 company for offering a deal to build him as a spokesman that included unpaid work. "Are you serious?" Huerta ask. "I know Dale Earnhardt Jr isn't doing appearances for free."
"The truth is, I don't really care if I fight in the UFC or somewhere else," Huerta says. The fighter says he understands that Zuffa has to keep an eye on the bottom line, but he wants to work, "For a company that is as loyal to me as I am to them."
Huerta comes into UFC 87 as a +135 underdog against -165 favored Kenny Florian at Bookmaker.com, which was offering odds on the entire card.
Under these circumstances, Florian probably has pretty significant value at -165.

The National Disaster Mitigation Agency updated the death toll from an earthquake that hit the Indonesian island of Lombok last week to 387 on Saturday, the Associated Press reports.
The details: Scientists reported that the earthquake "lifted the island...by as much as 25 centimeters," or nearly 10 inches, the AP reports. The earthquake resulted in almost 10% of the island's population (around 390,000 people) being displaced or homeless, after it destroyed around 68,000 homes. The death toll is expected to increase as more deaths are recorded and possible victims are discovered in landslides or collapsed buildings.
The island is "prone to earthquakes," the AP reports, because of its location on fault lines in the Pacific Basin.
The official emergency period has been extended to August 25 by the governor of the West Nusa Tenggara province, as there are still "three districts in the north of Lombok" which haven't received assistance yet.

Canopy Growth Establishes New Professorship At University Of British Columbia
Ty Arthur November 26, 2018 Marijuana Politics
Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED; NYSE: CGC) is teaming up with the University Of British Columbia to study the potential effects of cannabis on combating the opioid crisis.
The University just established a new professorship, to be named the Canopy Growth Professor of Cannabis Science, which will have a focus on clinical trials for using marijuana to treat pain over addictive opioid-based medicine.
Canopy Growth provided $2.5 million in funding to the British Columbia Centre on Substance Use and the University Of British Columbia and the provincial government contributed an additional $500,000.
According to a press release from Canopy, more than 1,100 deaths in British Columbia during 2018 can be attributed to the opioid crisis.
Dr. M-J Milloy will take on the role of the first Canopy Growth Professor of Cannabis Science, with research to commence on lowering the number of opioid overdose deaths through cannabis usage.
Dr. Milloy commented: "The therapeutic benefits of cannabis are only just beginning to be understood. Early research has shown that it could have a stabilizing impact for people with opioid use disorder, improving their quality of life and offering a pathway to long-term treatment solutions."
The new Professor of Cannabis Science went on to say, "In the midst of an overdose crisis, we have a scientific imperative to build upon this research. I'm grateful for the support from Canopy Growth and the Province of BC, and their commitment towards investing in evidence-based solutions to this urgent health crisis."
Dr. Dermot Kelleher the Dean, Faculty of Medicine at UBC, also commented:
"The opioid overdose crisis demands holistic and scientific approaches in order to develop new knowledge and strategies in response to this urgent health issue facing our society. The new Canopy Growth Professor of Cannabis Science at UBC promises to generate much-needed evidence-based solutions that will improve the health and well-being of British Columbians."
Canopy Growth subsidiary Spectrum Cannabis also just inked a deal with Reformulary Group last week to provide insurance-covered marijuana products.
While the Cannabis Act legalized marijuana for recreational purposes in Canada last month, the law's loosening restrictions have seen a sharp rise in medical marijuana research.
Aphria Inc. (TSX: APH) recently recruited a new Director Of Research to engage in clinical studies of cannabis, while Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON & TSX: CRON) last month announced a new research agreement to study the effects of cannabis on skin care.

Hanover crews respond to 2 Beaverdam structure fires in 24 hours
HANOVER COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — Hanover County Fire and EMS crews have responded to two separate structure fires in the Beaverdam area in the past 24 hours.
The first fire occurred Sunday, Jan. 15 just before 9 p.m. on Belsches Road. The Hanover Fire Department said a detached garage had gone up in flames and was a complete loss. The fire was believed to have the potential to spread to the home, but this outcome was said to be avoided through the quick action of the responding firefighters.
No injuries reported in early morning fire in Henrico
The second fire occurred Monday morning, just before 6 a.m. on Shiloh Church Road. The fire was contained in a single-family home, which incurred a partial roof collapse due to the blaze. Crews were still working to extinguish the entirety of the blaze at 8:30 a.m.
Hanover Fire said both of the fires required a "rural water operation to be utilized," which involved multiple high-capacity tankers.
There were reportedly no injuries during either of the structure fires. The Office of the Fire Marshal is leading the investigation into both incidents.

Abstract In this article it is proposed that the principles of motivational intensity theory (Brehm & Self, 1989) apply to effort mobilization for challenges with consequences for performers' self-esteem and selfdefinition (i.e., self-involvement). Accordingly, involvement of the self makes success important and thus justifies the mobilization of high resources. However, up to this level of maximally justified resources, actual effort is mobilized in correspondence to subjective task difficulty as long as success is possible. We report a series of experimental studies that have operationalized effort intensity as cardiovascular reactivity during task performance and used multiple manipulations of self-involvement (social evaluation, self-awareness, ego involvement, personal goals) and task difficulty. The empirical evidence clearly supports the idea that the principles of motivational intensity theory apply to performance conditions that have direct consequences for self-definition and self-esteem and challenges a number of other theoretical accounts.

Police officers take pictures of giant puppets as they move through the streets of Liverpool, northern England July 25, 2014.
In 2013, British police officers fired their weapons all of three times. No one died. According to The Economist, "British citizens are around 100 times less likely to be shot by a police officer than Americans. Between 2010 and 2014, the police force of one small American city — Albuquerque in New Mexico — shot and killed 23 civilians; seven times more than the number of Brits killed by all of England and Wales's 43 forces during the same period.
The Economist argues that the reason for this disparity is actually quite simple: guns are comparatively rare in the UK. Most cops don't carry them and criminals rarely have access to them. The last time a British officer was killed by a gun was in 2012. In the US last year, 30 police officers were shot and killed in the line of duty.
In December, PRI's The World reported on Icelanders grieving after their police force killed a man — for the first time in the country's history as a republic.
No, this isn't a manufacturing breakthrough that recycles bottles into rollerblades for commuters. This new tech is even easier on your legs. Beijing has installed 34 machines that turn your plastic bottles into free passes to use on public transit.
Pangea Today reports that the machines scan and classify your bottles, so your pass is linked to the recycling value of what you put in. The beauty of the scheme is that it's a double environmental incentive — it encourages recycling and public transit. Officials hope it will increase the 15,000 tons of bottles currently recycled in Beijing each year. And if you aren't a commuter? Then you can get a phone card instead, so you can stay home and lower your carbon footprint that way.
Doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota may have developed a tool for the treatment of previously untreatable forms of cancer. It involves using versions of the measles virus to attack and kill cancer cells. During a phase one clinical trial, a patient with previously incurable multiple myeloma went into complete remission after being treated with a high dose of the measles virus, PRI's Science Friday reports.
The idea, called oncolytic virotherapy, isn't new, but this is the first time it's been documented to work. The therapy is based on the fact that cancer cells have comparatively weak immune systems, making them susceptible to infections. The measles virus was trained to target and grow on cancer cells, making it safer and more effective. The research is in very early trials and is a long way from being a widely-accepted treatment. But doctors at Mayo are moving ahead with a large, phase two trial, in order to test their early success.
Muhammed Sheriff's sister died of a pregnancy complication in Liberia, though it wasn't a fatal condition. The real complication was that three clinics and three private doctors were unwilling to help her, at any price. They were too afraid of contracting Ebola.
Liberia has had 786 cases of ebola so far, according to the World Health Organization, and more than half of those patients have died. Buzzfeed reports that several dozen health care workers have died and basic supplies are running low, spurring some of Liberia's hospitals and clinics to close or turn away patients. The other side of the crisis is that some Liberians are scared of visiting clinics because they don't understand why so many are dying in them. The result is that Liberians are now dying of treatable diseases and injuries ... because of Ebola.
According to some, one of the greatest benefits of the Isle of Coll off the coast of Scotland is its relatively complete lack of cell phone service. Others say it's actually one of the biggest drawbacks. Now, that is set to change in the near future, through a partnership between the Scottish government and the local population of about 200 people that will pay to install a cell phone tower and finance its ongoing operation.
PRI's The World talked to some island residents about what they like and dislike about their current cell phone-free status. Many worry it will hurt the island's tourism industry, which touts the need for people to unplug. Other business owners, though, are looking forward to having better Internet and communications access, so they can keep up with the competition.
A volcano in Iceland is making a whole lot of American and European airlines very nervous. With memories of an eruption four years ago that crippled international aviation for days, they are worried about signs that a huge volcano in Iceland could blow any day now. According to Business Insider, the risk of eruption at Bardarbunga, a volcano in Iceland located under Europe's largest glacier, is now at the second highest of five threat levels. The volcano is under 700 meters of ice, so an eruption would require a lot of energy. If it does break through, it would likely produce a large plume of ash and cause flooding as the glacial ice melts.
Editor's Note: This Global Scan was updated to include a link to The World's story on Iceland's grief after the country's police killed a man for the first time in its history.

#TBT: Carriers launch LTE markets; Small cells, big dreams; Broadcom debuts 802.11ac chips … this week in 2012 – RCR Wireless News
Editor's Note: RCR Wireless News goes all in for "Throwback Thursdays," tapping into our archives to resuscitate the top headlines from the past. Fire up the time machine, put on the sepia-tinted shades, set the date for #TBT and enjoy the memories!
Sprint Nextel names first four LTE markets
Sprint Nextel's LTE plans received some clarity as CEO Dan Hesse announced the first four markets to receive the carrier's new network offering scheduled to launch later this year, with plans for 10 markets in its initial launch. Hesse, speaking at the Citigroup Entertainment, Media and Telecommunications Conference, said that Dallas, Atlanta, Houston and San Antonio would lead the carrier's LTE network rollout. The carrier originally announced its LTE plans last October, noting it planned to begin deploying the technology using the 10 megahertz of G-Band, 1.9 GHz spectrum it controls and updating about 22,000 cell sites. The initial deployment will rely on a somewhat limited 5 megahertz by 5 megahertz channel plan (5×5) that is roughly half the 10×10 spectrum plan Verizon Wireless is using for its LTE service operating in the 700 MHz band. Hesse further clarified Sprint Nextel's spectrum plans noting that the carrier wanted to move to a 10 x 10 megahertz spectrum channel by 2014 using some of its 14 megahertz of contiguous spectrum it controls in the 800 MHz spectrum holdings it hopes to free up with the scrapping of its iDEN network. The carrier is also planning to use some of that spectrum for its CDMA2000 1x-Advanced service that it expects to provide better coverage and capacity for its CDMA operations. The carrier said it expected to cover about 176 million potential customers with a mix of LTE and WiMAX services by the end of this year and 250 million pops covered by the end of 2013. … Read more
AT&T Mobility launches more LTE markets
AT&T Mobility has expanded its LTE network to 11 new markets, pushing the network to 26 total markets covering 74 million potential customers. The newly launched markets include: New York; Austin, Texas; Chapel Hill and Raleigh, N.C.; Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose, Calif.; Orlando, Fla.; and Phoenix. Consumers are also to be warned that the "4G" marketing used for the LTE service is different than the "4G" marketing AT&T Mobility has been using for its HSPA+-based offering, which while slower does have a much larger footprint. AT&T Mobility originally launched LTE services in mid-September with five markets, and said it expects its LTE network expansion to be completed by 2013, though did not put a coverage number to that expansion. The carrier had said it could cover about 250 million potential customers with its spectrum holdings prior to its failed attempt to acquire T-Mobile USA, a number that would rise to 97.3% of the U.S. population if the T-Mobile USA deal was approved. Now, without the T-Mobile USA spectrum, as well as those assets given up to Deutsche Telekom as part of the break-up fee, AT&T Mobility's LTE coverage plans are a bit in flux. … Read more
Small cells expected to hit the big time
A report from NPD In-Stat predicts that due to skyrocketing demand for mobile data services the sale of small cell devices will hit $14 billion in retail value by 2015. These devices will include femtocells, picocells and microcells in areas where "macrocells would be overkill," the report says. "The potential that true mobile broadband offers in personal communications, commerce and social networking becomes a curse for mobile operators," said NPD In-Stat senior analyst Chris Kissel. "Studies indicate that 75% of mobile broadband connections are made indoors. This means that mobile operators have to ensure (quality of service) for subscribers in their homes, at their jobs and at their leisure. Radio access network devices have to show versatility. If thought of as small cells, RAN devices can provide access to as few as four users or as many as a thousand." The study cited recent research that showed Eastern Europe will see $265 million in retail value of femtocells by 2015; that roughly 30.7 million W-CDMA/HSPA residential femtocells will be shipped in 2015; that worldwide outdoor metropolitan picocell unit shipments will post a compound annual growth rate of 248% over the five-year forecast period; and that in 2011 the global value of voice and data services hosted by small cell devices hit $3.2 billion. … Read more
Broadcom debuts first 802.11ac chips
Broadcom Corp. (Nasdaq: BRCM), a semiconductor solutions provider for wired and wireless communications, introduced its first family of 802.11ac (5G Wi-Fi) chips designed for a broad variety of product segments. The new IEEE 802.11ac chips are three times faster and up to six times more power-efficient than equivalent 802.11n solutions, the company said. According to the company, 5G Wi-Fi is the next-generation Wi-Fi standard. "Based on 802.11ac, 5G WiFi is a major evolutionary step from the existing 802.11a/b/g/n networks. Broadcom's 5G Wi-Fi dramatically improves the wireless range in the home, allowing consumers to watch HD-quality video from more devices, in more places, simultaneously," the company said. "The exponential growth of digital media and wirelessly connected devices requires faster and more reliable ways to connect anytime, anywhere. 5G Wi-Fi solves this media explosion challenge. Broadcom's vast footprint in consumer electronics devices uniquely positions us to lead the transition to the next generation of Wi-Fi," said Michael Hurlston, senior vice president of Broadcom's mobile and wireless group. Broadcom further said that "the increased speed enables consumers to download Web content from a mobile device faster and quickly synch large files, such as videos, in a fraction of the time it would take on a similar 802.11n device. Since 5G Wi-Fi transfers the same volume of data at a much faster rate, devices enter low-power mode faster, which results in significant power consumption advantages." … Read more
China lays down internet competition rules
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently released new regulations covering competitive practices in the country's booming Internet industry, The Wall Street Journal has reported. The new rules are aimed at regulating the Internet information services market and protect the rights of Internet service providers as well as of the users, the ministry said. "The rules also aim to promote healthy development of the Internet industry according to 'Telecommunications Regulations,' 'Internet Information Services' and other laws and administrative regulations," the ministry said. "The new rules bar companies from infringing on the 'legal rights and interests' of other online service providers, such as by 'maliciously' interfering with services from other companies on a user's device," according to the WSJ. Other rules prohibit maliciously blocking users from accessing services offered by other Internet companies, tricking users into downloading software, and suspension of services without good reason. … Read more

Since this beta follows so hot on the heels of last week's update, it's most likely just bug fixes and optimizations, rather than new features. We're still digging through to see if there are any significant updates, but regardless, fewer bugs means happier tinkering, so you'll want to go get the download right now.
iOS 12 developer beta 6 is currently available — as the name would suggest — to developers. If you have an Apple developer account but you're not yet on the developer , you can hit this link on your iPhone or iPad and you'll download the developer profile, which will let you install the iOS 12 developer beta as an over-the-air update. If you prefer to do things the old-fashioned way, you can visit the link on your PC or Mac, and use iTunes to manually update. If you don't have a paid Apple developer account, you can also download iOS 12 beta profiles here.
Even though iOS 12 betas have been impressively stable so far, you have to remember that you're still downloading test software. You shouldn't put it on any device that you rely on day-to-day — and if you do, don't complain if something vital decides to stop working at an inconvenient time. Anecdotal reports from forums already indicate that there's problems with sending SMS texts and GPS location on some devices, in addition to the usual complaints about battery life.

Bill Clinton released from UCI Medical Center

ORANGE (CNS) - Former President Bill Clinton was released from UCI Medical Center Sunday after a five-day stay for a urinary tract infection that spread to his bloodstream.
Clinton, 75, walked out of the hospital and into a waiting vehicle at about 8 a.m. Sunday, accompanied by former first lady Hillary Clinton.
"President Clinton was discharged from UC Irvine Medical Center today. His fever and white blood cell count are normalized and he will return home to New York to finish his course of antibiotics," according to a statement from Dr. Alpesh Amin, executive director of hospital medicine at UC Irvine Health, who was overseeing the team of doctors treating Clinton.
Clinton was admitted to the hospital's intensive care unit Tuesday night. Officials said he was treated in the ICU more out of privacy than the nature of the illness.
Clinton was in the Southland to attend events on behalf of his charitable foundation.
"President Clinton was taken to UC Irvine Medical Center and diagnosed with an infection," Amin and Dr. Lisa Bardack said in a joint statement Thursday. "He was admitted to the hospital for close monitoring and administered IV antibiotics and fluids. He remains at the hospital for continuous monitoring.
"After two days of treatment, his white blood cell count is trending down and he is responding to antibiotics well. The California-based medical team has been in constant communication with the president's New York-based medical team, including his cardiologist."
Dr. David Agus, a professor of medicine at USC Keck School of Medicine and a CBS News medical contributor, said Friday morning he had spoken to Clinton's doctors, who said the former president became ill while attending a foundation fundraiser, experiencing nausea and vomiting. He was taken to the hospital, where doctors conducted a series of tests and detected the bacteria E.Coli in his urine, Agus told CBS News on Friday morning.
In 2004, the former president underwent quadruple bypass surgery. In 2010, he had a pair of stents inserted to open a clogged coronary artery.
Hillary Clinton visited her husband at the hospital Saturday morning. The former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate was also spotted at the hospital Thursday night.
"He is in great spirits and has been spending time with family, catching up with friends, and watching college football," spokesman Angel Urena said in a statement Saturday afternoon. "He is deeply grateful for the excellent care he continues to receive and thankful for the many well wishers who have sent kind words to him and his family."
Clinton also received a phone call Friday from President Joe Biden.
"Oh, I wanted to see how he was doing," Biden told reporters while traveling in Connecticut. "He's doing fine. He really is. And he's going to be released from the hospital. And we talked about, which we were going to do before, getting together. I haven't seen him in a while, and for him to come over and have some lunch and talk.
"He was very encouraging about why he thought the policies I was pursuing made sense but we didn't get into much detail, except, it was mainly just seeing how he's doing," the president said.
