Wonderful to see your post and read your update. It's great you are home and starting the healing process. Many, many people you don't even know have lifted you up in prayer. Keep the faith and God bless you and your family.
There's quite a bit of info if you're inclined to google around. Here's a couple Q&A's from one site. These 10b 5-1 trading plans are very common.
How are trading dates determined under a Rule 10b5-1 plan?
Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(iii)(C) defines “date” as, in the case of a market order, the specific day of the year on which the order is to be executed (or as soon thereafter as is practicable under ordinary principles of best execution). In the case of a limit order, “date” is defined as a day of the year on which the limit order is in force.
How often can trades be made pursuant to a Rule 10b5- 1 plan?
A plan can be tailored to the specific needs of the individual who sets it up. For example, the plan can specify that trades will be made on a regular basis, such as monthly or bi-weekly. Alternatively, a Rule 10b5-1 plan can be designed to initiate transactions upon certain trigger events. For example, a plan can provide for sales several days before a tuition payment is due, with the number of shares to be linked to the average cost of tuition as published by the college.
http://media.mofo.com/files/Uploads/Images/FAQ10b51.pdf
FWIW, I don't look at each and every filing, but the footnotes often indicate the sells are due to pre-established trading plans under rule 10b5-1 ... which allows major holders "to sell a predetermined number of shares at a predetermined time. 10b5-1 plans are used by many corporate executives in an attempt to avoid accusations of insider trading."
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'RULE 10B5-1'
It is not uncommon to see a major holder sell some of his/her shares at regular intervals. For example, a director of XYZ Corporation may choose to sell 5,000 shares of stock on the second Wednesday of every month. To avoid conflict, 10b5-1 plans must be established when the individual is unaware of any material non-public information.
From January 2015 ...Google to go head to head with telecoms giants by launching its own wireless network service:
Google plans to buy wholesale access to others' mobile networks
That would make it what's known as a mobile virtual network operator
Google already sells an Internet and cable TV service directly to homes

Google peprtedly working with Ruckus on cloud based Wi-Fi network
http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/google-reportedly-working-ruckus-cloud-based-wi-fi-network/2014-05-23
"...The approach reported by GigaOM seems to fit with a recent move by Ruckus. In April, Ruckus unveiled its new Smart Wi-Fi Access Management Service, which shifts local network infrastructure--such as WLAN controllers, authentication servers, captive portals, advertising engines and content filtering--into the cloud, a move the company claims will enable businesses to more quickly and easily roll out public Wi-Fi hotspots. It could let customers more easily deploy Wi-Fi access points by putting them onto the same virtualized network."
Ryan Moore....thanks!
