After a nighttime dash to Queenstown and plenty of panic, Matt Chisholm is breathing a sigh of relief.
The television presenter was left in the lurch when he lost his laptop, and the 72,000-word book he had spent months writing on it, after accidentally leaving it on the roof of his car when he left Queenstown Airport yesterday.
He did not realise until he was an hour away at his farm in Chatto Creek.

Current president John Herlihy and his rival Bryan Ramage are looking forward to the Whangamomona Republic Day election on Saturday.
A trio of garden gnomes is contesting the Whangamomona Republic Day election on Saturday. The biennial vote is held on the anniversary of the republic being formed in 1989 after locals revolted against regional boundary changes that meant their town was no longer part of Taranaki and would be classed as Manawatū/ Whanganui.

Commonwealth Launches Enhanced Support Offering for Breakaways Commonwealth’s new Business Consulting Services will provide dedicated transition support for advisors leaving the wirehouses to go independent.
Waltham, Mass.–based independent broker/dealer Commonwealth Financial Network has introduced a new offering to help lure breakaway brokers out of the wirehouses. Business Consulting Services, as the firm calls it, will be a suite of offerings to provide a so-called “soft landing” for employee advisors as they transition into owning and running a business as an independent.
“Going from a wirehouse to independent and having those entrepreneurial responsibilities is a headache and a big learning curve for them,” said Jonathan Henschen, president of the recruiting firm Henschen & Associates in Marine on St. Croix, Minn. “So anything broker/dealers can do to diminish those insecurities and diminish the learning curve it only makes sense.”
