Advertising revenue set to drop by 5% this year
ADVERTISING REVENUES are on track to fall by more than 5 per cent this year, but will stabilise next year and return to growth from 2012, according to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
Growth of 12 per cent in internet advertising will only slightly mitigate an expected 5.8 per cent decline in television advertising in 2010, PwC's Entertainment Media Outlook report states.
Despite the return to growth in 2012, traditional advertising channels such as radio, outdoor and press will decline over the next five years, PwC said.
Across the Irish entertainment and media sector as a whole, internet access and advertising, video game revenues and TV subscriptions will be the main growth areas. Traditional branches of the sector will "continue to struggle", in particular if they are dependent on advertising spend.
Overall, the sector will grow by a compound annual rate of 4.1 per cent over 2010-2014, when total revenues will reach €4 billion.
However, this rate of growth falls short of PwC's forecasts for the global entertainment and media sector. The accountancy firm expects the global market to grow 5 per cent annually between now and 2014, reaching $1.7 trillion (€1.2 trillion).
The uncertain economic background "has done nothing to slow the ever-advancing digital transformation or the rapid consumer uptake of new media experiences", PwC said.
"The trends in Ireland are similar to what is happening worldwide. The advancing digital transformation is driving audience fragmentation to a level not previously seen," said Susan Kilty, a partner in PwC's entertainment and media division.

DUBLIN City Council has been criticised for passing up on hundreds of thousands of euro in potential advertising revenue from a company it allows to hang posters on public property around the capital.
The local authority has had a longstanding agreement with Irish Poster Advertising Ltd (IPA) – an events promotion company – which advertises gigs and other events on hoardings and in public spaces.
LONDON (Dow Jones)--The U.K. competition regulator Thursday said it would probe whether contracts with some U.K. public bodies offered by outdoor advertising giants JC Decaux SA (DEC.FR) and Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings Inc. (CCO) break competition laws.
The Office of Fair Trading said it would probe contracts the two companies offered local authorities for advertising on street furniture, such as bus shelters and information panels, in particular looking at the long durations of the contracts and potentially restrictive terms.
"There are some concerns around barriers to entry and expansion for media owners and the OFT has launched a competition investigation in order to assess whether certain street furniture agreements are compatible with U.K. and E.U. competition law," Heather Clayton, the OFT's senior director of infrastructure said.
"No assumption should be made at this stage that there has been an infringement of competition law," Clayton added.
The OFT said it had decided that it wouldn't refer the matter to the Competition Commission yet.
The U.K. has a two-tier competition regulation system, with the OFT probing possible competition concerns and then referring the matter to the Competition Commission if it believes that antitrust rules are being broken.
The OFT said it had looked at the whole of the U.K. outdoor advertising market. It said that while the market seemed to be functioning well, it had some concern over a system of rebates. It said it had some concerns that the rebates could distort how advertising campaigns are booked and recommend that advertisers take steps, such as using media auditors to monitor campaigns, to ensure agencies and specialist buyers act in the advertiser's best interests.
Under the rebate system, when an advertiser pays for an outdoor campaign, the media agency and the outdoor buyer receive commission, the OFT said. At the end of a year, the outdoor buyer receives a payment from the outdoor media owner and is entitled to volume rebates related to the aggregate amount spent with the media owner over the year. Rebates tend to be negotiated with the larger outdoor media buyers.
France's JC Decaux and Clear Channel of the U.S. are two of the biggest outdoor advertising companies in the U.K.

Gear head said not to use synthetic in diffs and this is why!!
I was talking to a guy that rebuilds front and rear differentials for the past 30 years and he told me that synthetic oils are great. But not for the differentials. He said the reason why you shouldnt use it is because conventional gear oils push the contaminates to the side walls of the diff cases and it sticks there not allowing it to be continually ran through the gears and bearings. He said that he has seen bearings shot after about 50-60k miles because of this. He said that synthetic oils are the best for any system that is filtered but diffs are not. And the properties of the synthetic blends do not allow any wear contaminates to stick to the sides like the conventional oils. I guess if you continually change the oils maybe this statement may not apply. But then at what interval would be acceptable to not allow any of the contaminates to wear on the bearings ect. Just thought I would share an opinion.

Maybe, I'm not buying into it though, synthetics are so much better than conventional grease, there is just no comparison.

That is a lot of testing that is for sure. I guess my only thought on the tests are that it really doesnt put any of the oils through its real life scenario such as the time factor involved. If these tests could be conducted over a period of 4 and 5 years including the temperature changes in that amount of time I may lean more to agreeing that the synthetics do what they say. I think I would lean more to using synthetics in my diffs when I change my gears soon and just change the oil out often. Afterall I did buy a rear diff cover that has a drain plug in it.
GM diffs (especially the front one), have a habit of picking up water, changing the fluid more often than the recommended interval is not a bad idea (unless you get it done at a GM shop).
They push contaminates to the side walls of the diff case!!?? WTF and OMG. You know my dad had a car that only took a key to run. I know this for a FACT because I never saw him change oil or put gas in it so it had to be the key. I wonder what ever happened to that car. I think I was about four or five when it went away and then he got this truck that he was always putting gas in.

So if you drain the oil out, then pull the diff cover, obviously all of the contaminates will not be suspended in air. So how do you find out how true this is. Remove the entire rearend out of the vehicle, put it on a bench and pull the cover off facing up and look inside with the oil still in it??? suck the oil out and see if the contaminates are against the walls of the housing? what prevents the contaminates from sticking to any of the other parts inside that dont move. I dont know. It sounds like a possibility that it may be true. But we could also argue that synthetics are so good that there are no wear contaminates to worry about.

If this mechanics theory were true you wouldnt need a filter on your engine, all the contaminants would be stuck to the sides of the oil galleries, I've broken open quite a few engines, gear box's, and axles running Synthetics and none of them had anymore contaminants sticking to the sides than there was on parts using conventional dino oil.
When I used to work on Jets we had huge oil pots for the main induction gearbox's that unbolted from the bottom of the gearbox that you dropped straight down then tilted to drain the oil into a bowser, we used synthetic oil for all the engine lube and after dropping over at least a 100 oil pots in a 20 year career I've never seen what that mechanic describes happen, the contaminants were always mixed in the lube.

The NBA and representatives for its players agreed to the framework of a collective bargaining agreement that, if ratified, will salvage a 66-game season and guarantee labor peace for at least six years. The two sides have come to agreement on the major issues that gave rise to the lockout. Most notably, they have agreed to divide the league's basketball-related income evenly, with each side subject to gaining or losing up to one percent depending on the league's economic success. They have also agreed on a harder salary cap, among a bevy of other rules that will slow the growth of NBA players' salaries and ensure that owners' labor costs are reduced. If all goes as planned, the free agency period will begin on Dec. 9, the regular season will begin on Christmas Day and the players' and owners' agreement will last 10 years, with each side able to opt-out after six.

The term "golden age of baseball" has been used so often as to have wrung most meaning out of it, at least when prescribed to a fixed era of the game.

And the moments when baseball most succeeds -- when it's not about the money or the marketing -- it is because we can see the game through the eyes of our younger selves. No sport relies on tapping into this child-like belief more than baseball.

Over the programme revisions were made to the designs and each production model in the H-series improved on the last. The H5's were the first to use "chopper controls" . The H5's also added regenerative braking and air-conditioning which was also incorporated into all future designs. The completion of the H6's allowed the retirement of the G class cars and no further H-Series orders were made. A prototype new car T-series was built by UTDC in 1990-91, and evaluated by the TTC. By the time the TTC was ready to order new cars in 1992, UTDC had been sold to Bombardier. Bombardier then constructed the new car order – which would add new technology such as AC propulsion to a similar platform based on the predecessor H-cars.

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.
While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.
On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..
When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?
But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).
Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.
Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).
But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore.
"It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, Vancouver

DOJ Grant Designed to Strengthen Women's Center's Education and Violence Prevention Services
Old Dominion has received a $300,000 U.S. Department of Justice grant to fund a Gender-Based Violence Prevention Project on campus. ODU was one of only 22 colleges and universities nationwide to receive the highly competitive funding.
The award, from the DOJ's Office on Violence Against Women, will provide resources to strengthen the education and violence prevention services of the Women's Center's Sexual Assault Free Environment program (SAFE). The project aims to engage all students through diverse modes of delivery, including an online education module for orientation, and training workshops for student groups and organizations.
According to ODU's Dennis Gregory, associate professor of educational foundations and leadership and a national expert on campus safety who is serving as principal investigator of the grant, the project will focus on men and women as leaders to model positive behavior to prevent sexual violence by using the bystander education model.
Project director Joann Bautti, assistant director of the Women's Center, added that the project will also include ad campaigns and other forms of media to reinforce the message that safety and positive behavior are the ways to eliminate types of sexual violence.
"I'm proud to be a part of an institution that is forward thinking," said Ellen Neufeldt, vice president for student engagement and enrollment services. "This grant offers a great opportunity for education as a proactive tool in the prevention of violence against women."
As part of the project, Bautti and Gregory will work closely with the ODU Police Department, Norfolk Police Department, Response Sexual Assault Support Services of the YWCA, the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office and a broad cross-section of on-campus departments.
"It is a dream come true to have the resources to expand education for our students," Bautti said. "For those of us who work in the areas of student safety, gender-based violence and victim advocacy, we know that reaching every student with primary prevention education is essential to catalyzing a culture of care and respect at ODU."
According to Gregory, "Having studied and completed research on the threats existing on and around a university campus, we know that gender-based violence and related hazards are among the chief concerns about which education and prevention are critical. We are excited to have the opportunity to educate and help keep ODU students safer."
The university's Sexual Assault Resource Team (SART), chaired by Bautti, and of which Gregory is a member, will serve as the central working body to expand the gender-based violence training to faculty and staff on campus and strengthen partnerships with key departments.
"We are fortunate to have strong on- and off-campus partners on the SART, and the grant gives us the opportunity to focus our efforts on responding more comprehensively to issues surrounding gender-based violence," Bautti said.
"Of course, the most important partners on campus are students," emphasized Wendi White of the Women's Center, who serves as the interpersonal violence prevention coordinator under the grant. "This grant will empower them to take an active role in ending gender-based violence and transforming the culture that keeps it alive."

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
The hill-towns of the Castelli Romani that surround UD Rome's campus are known for their beauty, history, and richly diverse local culture. Rome is a city of brick and marble, while the Castelli feature a landscape of verdant hills and valleys, dramatic volcanic peaks, and shimmering lakes. As the close of their orientation week, students and staff explored these riches in an afternoon outing. They stopped at Castel Gandolfo to see the Holy Father's summer residence, eat gelato, and hear from Dr. Hatlie and Ryan Ready about the history of the local area. They then traveled to Nemi to admire its volcanic lake and wonder at the former site of a cult to Diana.
That evening the students were treated to a wine tasting and formal dinner on the campus grounds. Campus chaplain Msgr. Thomas Fucinaro guided the students through the various steps of how to taste wine, and gave some information on the regional characteristics of the specific wines being tasted. The students enjoyed a sparkling wine at the campus' scenic pool, a white wine and rosé in the piazza, and a robust red wine with dinner.

Multiple choice tests and exams will be graded using the Scantron system. Multiple-choice exams may be examined by computer software to check for unusual coincidences in answer patterns that may indicate cheating. Lab tests will be "bell-ringers", where students are given 60 sec to identify a structure or answer an application question. The written exams are cumulative within each term, not across terms. The breakdown of questions will reflect the material covered. (ie. Dec written will be 50:50 back/upper and lower limb and the April final will be 50:50 head/neck/thorax and abdomen/pelvis.)
o A minimum of 80% attendance is required for the labs. Documentation is required for attendance less than 80%. Any attendance less than 80% without documentation will result in an automatic loss of 5% of the overall course grade.
o An overall passing average (according to your specific program) is required to pass the course. In other words, a student may fail a lab component but still have an overall passing average.
o Rounding of grades: Decimal points above .5 will be rounded to the next whole number. Some students request a rounding up of a mark from 68% to 70%, for example. This practice will not occur in this course. The final mark assigned to you is the mark you achieve and will not be rounded up to the next grade level unless it follows the initial .5 ruling stated. (eg. 69.5 to a 70%)
Absence from course commitments
A. Absence for medical illness or non-medical reasons:
Students must familiarize themselves with the Policy on Accommodation for Medical Illness: https://studentservices.uwo.ca/secure/index.cfm
o Documentation for medical or non-medical reasons, according to the Policy on
Accommodation for Medical Illness is required for absences from tests or exams. Documentation is not required for work worth less than 10% of the total course grade (ie. individual lab sessions). When documentation is required for missing an exam or test, such documentation must be submitted by the student directly to the appropriate Faculty Deans office and not by the instructor.
o It will be the Deans office that will determine if accommodation is warranted.
o The date and nature of a make-up test/exam will be determined by the instructor, in consultation with the student. Generally, students who miss a lab test will be given a verbal 1:1 lab test or re-weighing of grades will be considered. Written tests/exam will be made up by a written test/exam.
Statement from the Deans Office
If you are unable to meet a course requirement due to illness or other serious circumstances, you must provide valid medical or other supporting documentation to the Dean's office as soon as possible and contact your instructor immediately. It is the student's responsibility to make alternative arrangements with their instructor once the accommodation has been approved and the instructor has been informed. In the event of a missed final exam, a "Recommendation of Special Examination" form must be obtained from the Dean's Office immediately. For further information please see: http://www.uwo.ca/univsec/handbook/appeals/medical.pdf
PT Attendance:
Students in the MSc PT are expected to attend all classes and laboratory sessions. If a student must be absent from regularly scheduled class times he/she is expected to contact the course instructor/manager and the School of PT main office and excuse himself/herself from that class or lab. A student requiring academic accommodation due to illness, should use the Student Medical Certificate when visiting an off-campus medical facility or request a Record's Release Form (located in the Dean's Office) for visits to Student Health Services.
The form can be found at:
The Policy on Accommodation for Medical Illness is also available on the BMSUE secure site: www.uwo.ca/bmsc
B. Special Examinations
A Special Examination is any examination other than the regular examination, and it may be offered only with the permission of the Dean of the Faculty in which the student is registered, in consultation with the instructor and Department Chair. Permission to write a Special Examination may be given on the basis of compassionate or medical grounds with appropriate supporting documents. A Special Examination must be written at the University or an Affiliated University College no later than 30 days after the end of the examination period involved. To accommodate unusual circumstances, a date later than this may be arranged at the time permission is first given by the Dean of the Faculty. The Dean will consult with the instructor and Department Chair and, if a later date is arranged, will communicate this to Registrarial Services. If a student fails to write a scheduled Special Examination, permission to write another Special Examination will be granted only with the permission of the Dean in exceptional circumstances and with appropriate supporting documents. In such a case, the date of this Special Examination normally will be the scheduled date for the final exam the next time the course is offered.
Senate regulations require ALL instructors to include the following statements on plagiarism, cheating and proficiency in English in the course outline:
Students must write their essays and assignments in their own words. Whenever students take an idea or passage from another author, they must acknowledge their debt both by using quotation marks where appropriate and by proper referencing such as footnotes or citations. Plagiarism is a major academic offence (see Scholastic Offence Policy in the Western Academic Calendar).

Haiti PM hopes to draft new mining law in 6 months
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Haiti's government hopes to introduce a new mining law within six months that could set royalty rates of between nine and 12 per cent in an effort to ensure that the impoverished country benefits from its mineral wealth, potentially worth US$20 billion, the prime minister said Wednesday.
Haiti is seeking to update nearly 40-year-old mining laws in an effort to reap benefits from the little known-industry. The Associated Press reported in May that two mining companies have begun drilling for gold, copper and silver in Haiti's northeastern mountains. They say testing indicates the metals could be worth US$20 billion, potentially an enormous boon for a country whose annual budget is US$1 billion and where most people live on less than US$2 a day. Actual mining is years away.
"The stakes are high," Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe said in a brief interview with the AP on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York. "Haiti needs its own resources."
Lamothe said Haiti is seeking advice from several countries with important mining industries, including South Africa, Chile and Peru, on policies that would both encourage foreign investment and secure fair profits for Haitians.
He said the government hopes to introduce a draft law to parliament within six months and said the government is contemplating setting royalty rates of between nine and 12 per cent. He called the current rate of about two per cent per ounce way too low.
Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, is trying to strike a delicate balance. Royalty rates that are too high could send badly needed foreign investment elsewhere. One of the world's largest gold mining operations is opening in neighbouring Dominican Republican. The company will pay 3.2 per cent per ounce royalty on net sales, along with other taxes.
Although Haiti's mining potential has been known for decades, foreigners were unwilling to risk exploring in a country plagued with corruption and chronic instability. Dan Hachey, the president of a Canadian exploration firm now investing in Haiti, Majescor Resources, told the AP earlier this year that he hopes the billions of dollars in foreign assistance promised for recovery from a 2010 earthquake will make the country more accountable.
Lamothe expressed optimism that the new mining law, once introduced, will find support in a parliament that has not always been friendly to President Michel Martelly since he took office in 2011.

Question of the Week
How Do You Deal with Rude Opposing Counsel?
Posted Oct 3, 2012 11:48 AM CDT
By Sarah Mui
At The Velvet Hammer a little while back, Seattle plaintiffs personal injury attorney Karen Koehler described a tense encounter at a photocopier with opposing counsel and offered her readers seven tips on how to deal with others of his ilk. Among her tips:
"1. Sever all emotionality with the [rude opposing counsel]. You are the professor watching this interesting / silly specimen flail about in its petri dish.
"5. Protect your client. This is what motions for protective order are for. Dealing with rude lawyers is an occupational hazard that we need to be prepared for. But our clients are entitled to be treated with dignity and respect. Fight for them!"
So this week, we'd like to ask you: How do you deal with rude opposing counsel? Do you change your demeanor in any way? How do you help your clients and staff deal with them?
Answer in the comments.
Read the answers to last week's question: What Nonlegal Tasks Have Clients Asked You to Perform for Them?
Featured answer:
Posted by Carol: "Back in the early days of Internet access, I had a longtime client (former college basketball player) from a fairly rural area call in a panic and ask me to go to 'the magic box' to find him 'enough Converse All-Stars to last him the rest of his life' (there had been an article that morning in the Wall Street Journal that Converse was going under). I managed to track a bunch down in his very large size halfway across the country. He's still my client, and I asked him the other day how the supply was holding up—he told me fine. Obviously, I didn't charge him for this."
Do you have an idea for a future question of the week? If so, contact us.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSAttorney General investigating Complaints Of Price Gouging, As Rumors Swirl
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 10, 2014 11:20 PM EST
Updated: Jan. 10, 2014 11:48 PM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Stefano DiPietrantonio) -- Rumors and rumblings over alleged price gouging at some area convenience stores were burning-up social media as the water crisis unfolded in West Virginia Friday.
Eyewitness News checked into convenience stores from Cross Lanes to Dunbar to Kanawha City.
Bill Smeedy, the owner of the Cold Spot in Dunbar, was stunned to find ugly comments on Facebook, which were accusing him of jacking-up water prices.
"We're not gouging anybody," Smeedy said. "We're hurt more by someone hollering gouging, and there's not a basis to it."
He poured through his receipts to show exactly what people had paid for water on Thursday, when people swarmed his store for water and ice. Prices ranged from 79 cents to 99 cents for individual bottles of water.
"We don't sell by the case," he said.
Yet on social media, someone claimed he was selling cases of water for $30 and up, and the damaging rumor began to catch fire.
"It's really sad for one person to go buy 30 bottles at 99 cents, because he wants his water and everybody would have paid 99 cents," he said.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said he is getting tons of complaints of price gouging at his office.
"I think it's outrageous," said Morrisey said. "West Virginians, most of them are wonderful, good people, they're very sharing, but you always get some bad apples out there who try to take advantage of people during states of emergency, it's unconscionable!"
Morrisey said to nail the cheaters, you need to do two important things.
"Make sure you keep your receipt and ultimately file a report with our office," he said.
Smeedy denied the rumors of gouging and challenged anyone who said he engaged in it to produce a receipt.
"Just bring the receipt that I gouged you, and you get $500," he said. "Won't happen."
Morrisey anyone caught price gouging could expect to pay a $5,000 and, since it is a misdemeanor, could spend up to a year in jail.

Unique program transforms high-potential teens
Forty-eight academically high-achieving and involved secondary school students from around the country have descended on Queen's to embark on an exciting summer adventure.
"Queen's is thrilled to be involved with the Shad Valley program again this summer," says Roxy Denniston-Stewart, Associate Dean of Student Affairs. "It is a wonderful opportunity to expose these future university students to our campus and our city."
The students live in Queen's residence throughout July and attend the Shad Valley program. They take advanced lectures on science, engineering and technology while learning how these disciplines can be fused with entrepreneurial thinking and innovation. The program is a unique opportunity for students to work together in a group-oriented environment that enhances their teamwork and leadership skills.
Participants learn from outstanding Queen's faculty, and attend workshops and seminars led by business leaders from the community. Recreational activities and visits to local cultural attractions add another dimension to the curriculum. The program culminates in an entrepreneurship competition where students are placed in groups to create a new product or service, write a business plan, build a prototype and present their ideas to an industry panel.
"The Shad Valley program introduces students to many exciting topics that are beyond their high school curriculum," says Jennifer Murphy, Shad Valley Queen's Program Director. "Lectures range from how to discover your inner entrepreneur to using molecular diagnostics as forensics tools. The activities also focus on successful teambuilding and cooperation, as well as problem solving and critical thinking for real-world applications."
Participants in the not-for-profit Shad Valley program are selected based on their high potential in the fields of science, technology and engineering, while demonstrating strong leadership abilities and a passion for entrepreneurship and innovation. The selection process also takes into account community involvement, volunteerism and extracurricular activities.
Queen's, one of 10 Shad Valley host campuses across Canada, has participated in the program for the last 11 years.
