The 280 Outrage is a big, flexible boat ready for serious fishing, thrilling water-sports or pleasant cruising.

Last but not least, the “Broadcast TV fee” is probably the most egregious of the whole set, with the “regional sports” fee running right behind. When the telecommunications act got its big fat upgrade in the 1990s, so did the rules pertaining to the carriage agreements between local broadcast stations (your NBC, NBC, and CBS affiliates and so on — the whole UHF and VHF gamut) and cable carriers. That change in regulation opened up the opportunity for broadcast stations to negotiate their own retransmission rates rates with cable companies. Since 1994, the cable companies have been permitted to pass those costs through to consumers. Similarly, companies charge extra for recouping the cost of carrying regional sports networks in your package, whether or not you want them. (Sometimes it can be almost impossible to get a bundle without.) Those are the “regional sports fees,” and cable companies say that it’s simply too expensive to carry whatever channel is playing baseball in your neighborhood. As a bonus: if you’re a Comcast customer, you’re paying regional sports fees for them to bring you… Comcast-owned stations. That is some chutzpah. The thing is, though, there’s already a pass-through charge for recouping retransmission fees, and it’s called “your entire cable bill.” Because that’s exactly how the system works: content companies, like Disney and Discovery and Viacom and so on, make agreements with distribution companies, like Comcast and Charter. For every cable subscriber that receives Channel X in their bundle, Cable Company Y will pay the content company that owns Channel X a small monthly fee. If the agreement is for $0.50, and 10 million subscribers receive that channel, then the cable company pays the content company $5 million per month. The cable company recoups those fees by getting paying subscribers in the door. So if you pay $100 per month for your cable bill, and you get Channel X, then nominally about $0.50 of your bill goes to that company. It’s not that direct, of course, and the cable company is using giant pools of fungible money on both ends, but that’s the idea. With “Broadcast” and “regional sports” fees added on — which can run $8 per month or more, combined — cable companies are simply increasing the rate you pay for cable TV while claiming not to be increasing the rate you pay for cable. It’s impressive, in its own way.

EEDC’s Head of Communications, Mr Emeka Ezeh, said the suspects were arrested within one month, with the latest on Christmas day.

Mason City-based WHKS & Co., a consulting civil engineering firm, is celebrating 70 years of continuous service in 2018. Founded in 1948, the firm employs more than 110 people.

Back out West in Cumberland, B.C. on Vancouver Island, the tiny town with a big trail network, 1,553 flew down Space Nugget. That’s in a town with a population of just 3,750 people. Mountain biking has been fully embraced by the community, and riders from around the Island and mainland make it a destination for their riding adventures. Many of these rides finish on Space Nugget, upping the flowy trails numbers.

At the 2017 event, Lysette, who is transgender, wound up “fangirling” over another musical superstar. “I met Mary J. Blige here last year, and she was a huge icon to me as a teen trying to navigate my identity and all the pain of adolescence, and [her] My Life album was just everything to me,” said.

Reworked scrap wrought iron, AFAIK. Yes, the real thing, but not of recent manufacture. And very expensive, for conservation work when some English Heritage person gets a bee in their bonnet about a bit of steel.

The real reason that “grid clusters” will continue to exist far into the future is to ensure information security and physical equipment security. Redundant, and potentially highly distributed, cluster sites will be essential for “large scale disaster” survivability. Last years events impact in the financial industry and some of the companies ability to recover using redundant backup sites were the proof of this.

Another challenge is the creation of software systems that can effectively make use of grid systems – centralized clusters or distributed grids.

Have a car problem? Use your PDA to network with the auto’s embedded computer to tell you what’s wrong. Then while your at it, tap into the local auto mechanics service availability software to see what the current wait is for service. Then schedule a repair. Still need big computers to serve that demand.
