Secure Car Parking:
so we had a car park behind gates in the Casa, when we came back a van from some French speaking group parked in front of the gate, so nice as we are, we thought we don't say anything, since they will move it, see there we come back and the van is in our spot. So when the lady came and apologised for it, she said she ...

Lomu's former side in administration
ESPNscrum Staff
October 22, 2011
Lomu watches on as Australia train © Getty Images
All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu's former club side Stade Phoceen has gone into administration.
The 36-year-old monster winger turned out for the Marseille club in 2009 - then known as Marseille-Vitrolles - but on Friday it was announced that they are in financial turmoil. Lomu played a handful of games for the side back in 2009 when he was 34 but Stade's demise follows weeks of rumours and uncertainty over their future.
The club are now expected to let go of 40 employees and 30 players in the coming weeks. Lomu was recently hospitalised for 16 days after experiencing trouble with his kidneys but was well enough to attend an Australia training session prior to their bronze final with Australia.

Parallel Iomega 100Mb Zip Drive USB Converter

Posted March 8, 2006 at 12:37PM
I have an old Iomega parallel zip drive which works fine but new computer arriving next week doesn't have a parallel port. Is there a parallel usb converter for zip drives? I have seen converters for printers but do they work for zip drives?

I'm not sure if a USB Parallel port will work, they are available but seem pricey to me.
I have used a PCI Parallel port card in the past with my Zip drive and it worked fine. There's one at click here but you could probably find others a bit cheaper with a bit of searching around.

Agree that they seem pricey. I think that my cheapest option may be to get a used usb drive on e-bay and try to sell my old parallel drive.

Marsh Warden © ™: I was interested in this cable for my Zip Drive just like Woolwell, but noticed the description sounds like it is a printer cable and printer cables are different to a normal parallel cable. EG. "Product Description: Targus USB To Parallel Printer Cable parallel adapter". "Interfaces: 1 x parallel - IEEE 1284 (EPP/ECP) - 36 PIN Centronics". The Parallel socket on the computer is a fifteen pin D socket, so this might not do the job on the Zip Drive.
I may be wrong about this but it need careful checking before buying.

My apologies It should have been 25 pins and not 15 as I stated. Sorry.

Audeal - I came to the same conclusion. I do not know if it will work with a zip drive. I think that I may need a parallel usb adaptor. These exist for laptops allowing parallel and serial connections to be connected via USB - but they are not cheap. Torn now between e-bay and scrapping my zip discs but they were very useful for quick back up of mainly financial data which was too large for a floppy. I have a memory stick so could use that I liked to rotate discs.

I am reluctant to part with my trusted Zip Drive as I have so much stored on the discs. I does work ok with the parallel connection but I would like to use it with a USB connection as I do not keep it turned on when not in use and I have to re-boot when I want to use it. I will keep my eyes open for a suitable cable and convert if I should find one.

Professional cowardice is nothing new
Go on record supporting 9/11 truth and see what happens to your career. There are no doubt many people who disbelieve the official story yet think it better to remain silent, just like Nazi Germany.
As for your argument about the upper blocks being off center, non-starter. First, you only raise a point which further undermines the official story, the rotation by nearly 20 degrees of an upper block. The law of conservation of angular momentum dictates that is should have kept on rotating and tilting over, unless stopped by an equal and opposite external force. Instead it disintegrated before our eyes, and halted its rotation, which could only be accomplished through explosive force.
Finally I hardly think you can speak for "most of the truth movement," or imply it does not appreciate complexity. You are merely employing the old and worn tricks of a low-life lawyer who wants to say "Are you sure you saw the man shoot her? Isn't it more complex then that?" No it is not more complex than that. The man shot her.

Elsewhere on the dance floor, Ryan and Anna awkwardly appraise each other. Suddenly, she asks, "Wait. Are you the kid from Chino who steals cars and sets people's houses on fire?" Ryan admits that he is, and Anna adds, "So you're saying I'm making my debut into society with Newport's Most Wanted?" Ryan asks if it's going to be a problem, and Anna enthusiastically responds, "I can't wait!"
At Sandy's office, we find him in mid-conversation with Kirsten. He announces "absolutely not" to whatever she has requested, even though he's happy she came all the way to his office to visit him. He yelps for a file, explaining to Kirsten that he's defending a fifteen-year-old, two-time drug offender who is in danger of being deported. Kirsten insists that "he needs help!" and Sandy expositions, "Jimmy Cooper?" For those tuning in late, Sandy backstories that Jimmy stole from his clients and friends, and then had the nerve to borrow from Kirsten to cover it up. Kirsten defends Jimmy, claiming that he was trying to provide for his family, and Sandy snits about the boats and the ponies. Kirsten low-blows that Sandy will defend a two-time drug offender, but not Jimmy? Sandy exclaims that he will! His clients have no hope! No guidance! Nothing! Jimmy Cooper is just another Newport brat who had everything handed to him! Kirsten asks, "Like me?" and Sandy emphatically responds, "No. Not like you. You! Would never lie. You! Would never steal." Kirsten would like to think that, but the truth is that there's nothing she wouldn't do for her family. She'll see Sandy at home!
Seth and Ryan emerge from the ballroom at the country club. Ryan is wiped out, while Seth enthuses that after three hours of dancing, he could dance even more! Marissa chases after them, match-making that Anna seems nice, and she thought...because they're both new... An awkward pause follows, as a blonde girl slinks over to hug Marissa. Marissa explains that she was just about to tell them about the cookout, and the girl -- who we'll shortly find out is Holly, of the beach house, "margs," and mole removal -- announces that the cookout is at her house, and that she does it every year for Cotillion. Seth comments, "You didn't do it last year," and Holly instantly responds, "Yeah, we did." Seth is all, "Ouch." Holly and Marissa exchange a look, and then Holly bops off as Seth yells that he'll see her there. Looking over at Luke, Ryan asks if it's a good idea that he attend. Marissa insists that it is, because Ryan lives there now and there's no reason they can't all hang out. She flounces off toward Luke, while Seth announces that he can think of a reason; in response, Ryan reveals that he's not planning to go. Seth doesn't want to go alone, though, and when Ryan points out that Summer will be there, he clarifies, "Yeah, well, I'm still going. I would just prefer not to go alone." Seth plays the brother card, explaining that they should, as brothers, do stuff for each other: if Ryan does something for Seth, somewhere down the line, Seth will do something for Ryan. He doesn't know what it will be yet, but it will be awesome.

Kyocera service - impressive!
About three years ago I posted my opinion here of the Kyocera ceramic knives I'd purchased. These are extremely hard, sharp knives that I've found very useful for many tasks. One caveat is that they cannot be user-resharpened...you have to send them in.
Happy to report that I just did that and am astonished at the service provided. For a flat fee of $10.00 for packing/shipping my eight knives were sharpened to absolute new condition and back in my hands within ten days. Included was a "micro-serrated" tomato-knife. Rather than resharpening that, they sent me a brand new one at no charge.
I can't see these as replacements for good steel knives. They're a little too delicate for heavy use. However, for MANY tasks they are without equal and I've enjoyed having them at hand. I am pleased to learn that having them restored to as-new condition was as quick, inexpensive, and easy as it has been.
Thought the experience might be of interest to some here. Below is the PDF form for the service.

So, is anyone growing pigeon pea? I just got some seed in from Echo and am quite excited. It is supposed to be perennial here in Hawaii and the only person that I know of that grows it is a neighbor of my sister. That neighbor guards it like it's gold.
I'm not growing it, but I am familiar with pigeon pea because the wife of my friend, who is Puerto Rican, cooks it with rice. That apparently is a popular Puerto Rican dish. In Spanish, they are called gandules.
It would be nice to have perennial beans, something which is impossible here.
Here is a link that might be useful: Arroz Con Gandules
Pigeon pea is quite easy to grow. I used to grow pigeon peas and also bought my seeds from Echo which by the way is a reputable nursery. I grew about five trees ,kept the peas frozen and ate pigeon peas the whole year. It's best to cook the green pigeon peas with a little sugar for better taste. Enjoy your pigeon peas!!
Maureen, how often does the "tree" produce peas? I saw the "tree" from a distance--my sister's neighbor's tree. It was quite huge and hanging over her fence. She told my sister that it produces seeds once or twice a year. Any info you could give me regarding size and harvest? Thank you!
This is my first visit to this forum and your title caught my eye. I grew up in the tropics where pigeon peas are a staple, cooked with rice and in other dishes. I was visiting in Feb. and planted some seeds for my sister. The tree will grow to about 5 feet and will give you about 2 harvests a year. We ususally had one near Christmas, because they were used in a Christmas dish. About 5 trees will provide enough for a family of four. You will find them delicious green or dry.
Northerner is right. The tree blossoms 2x year. I'm still eating pigeon peas from December's harvest. I sold my house with all the trees, but save some seeds that I planted in the new yard for harvesting in December. Pigeon pea tree makes pretty flowers too
I've only experienced pigeon peas from eating them, probably from a can of the Goya ones. Never saw the 'tree' and never realized they are perennial. Thanks for hipping me to something new. Now I will seek out more information on pigeon peas.
Thank you so much Northerner and Maureen! I was wondering though, if you harvest the beans the same way as any other dry bean when saving it. I take it that the yield is great as Maureen stated in that she is still eating pigeon peas from December. Interestingly, the "tree" that I had a glimpse of was hanging over (like a weeping willow) a 5 foot fence. Either some things grow bigger here in Hawaii or my sister's neighbor has perhaps a different variety. --Speaking of which, I recall reading that if you try to grow the pigeon pea that is sold packaged dry; that you will have a variety that is not perennial...
Jimster, I'd eaten the Gondule beans with rice before but I had not known about it growing here in Hawaii. Went round and round trying to find the dry beans. As dry beans, my experience is that it is a firm bean like soybeans when cooked with a slight resemblance to the taste of boiled peanuts (salt was added to the water when cooking). Anyway, just thought I would mention that the vining varieties of lima beans are supposed to be perenials in warm climates also. I haven't tried them yet. Again, thank you so much for all of your (all of you) advice and effort to help me along.

I grew them very successfully in Palm Bay, FL. I started some some here in NC back in Feb (hot house) and set them out in April. They are now over 8 Ft tall and look like they will bloom shortly. Hope they produce before the freeze kills them. Anyway, fun to grow.
For bgreen65 in Austin, and others who may be interested,
ICRISAT, below, is tasked to be the global center for pigeon peas. They have excellent daylength neutral varieties and can clue you in to which US universities might hold stocks of the same for distribution : USDA Washington-Pullman might be a center for grain legumes.
Anyway , am giving you a contact for their germplasm resource specialist, Dr. Hari Upadhyaya.

happy growing,
A reference 25 years out of date but may still be useful for US gardeners:
"In Florida day-neutral 'Amarillo' can be sown and harvested at different times throughout the year. Other good cvs are 'Morgan Congo', 'Cuban Congo' and 'No-eye Pea'."
I have been growing pigeon peas here in Florida for years
My current plants are 3 years old and about 8 feet tall.They currently are in full bloom. After this next harvest I will cut them down and plant new ones. Pigeon peas do not produce as well the older they get. as far as cold tolerant they will die below freezing. Although last winter I one night that hit 32 degrees the leaves dropped but I cut back damaged limbs and it took off again and grew fine. any colder and they surely would have died. Also the leaves make an excellant green manure that use on other plants
i planted a row of pigeon peas about 6 months ago as a windbreak. Very disappointing windbreak as most of the plants are only a foot or two tall. One lone plant is markedly larger than it's neighbors and i wonder if a seed of a diffent variety got mixed in-i understand there at least 240 kinds of pigeon peas-wow!
My seeds came from Echo, i think i'll try to find some locally to compare. Some pods are just starting to mature now and boy are they pretty little beans-i'll see if i can post a few pictures later.
Not sure how to cook them green, sounds like just boil in salted water. Anyone know for how long?
The marbling is a pretty shade of green, i don't think you can see the color in this picture. Aren't they gorgeous? Turns brown when dried, tho'. Found a recipe for pigeon peas in coconut milk with ginger and chile pepper. Sounds delicious but probably they won't hold their color when cooked, either.
The pictures of the plants did not come out so well, i'll try again later.
Great discussion! My wife is from the Dominican Republic [DR] and cooks a lot of rice and gandules so I figured that I would try to grow them. Question: Am I too far north here in Maine? Her Mom brought us some seeds from the DR so I'm going to plant them and see what happens. Bad idea to get them from the DR though, they had some sort of bug infestation. Looks like there's a larvae that tunneled out of the seeds and became some sort of short-lived fly. I put the seeds in the freezer for a few days before planting and hopefully that will take care of it. I'm guessing that anything native to the DR isn't going to make it through our winters anyway so nothing to worry about right?

Grading My Predictions for 2011
In my list of Top 10 Energy Related Stories of 2010, I made three predictions for 2011. Those predictions were:
- I believe high oil prices will continue to put a strain on the economies of oil-importing nations.
- I expect that we will see oil prices once again head above $100 per barrel, although I expect the annual average for 2011 to be below $100 because of sluggish economies.
- I also expect that the bills are going to start coming due for some of the high profile 'next generation' biofuel producers, and that we will see bankruptcies from some of the companies I have discussed in this column.
In hindsight, those predictions look pretty tame. However, bear in mind that oil had spent all of 2010 below $100/bbl, and a number of analysts were predicting falling oil prices in 2011. At the time I made that prediction in December 2010, oil prices had been creeping higher, and had climbed to $90. By the first week of March 2011, oil had reached $100. However, the price did average below $100 as I predicted.
I should have been more specific though. Usually, when I refer to oil prices I am talking about West Texas Intermediate, the primary benchmark crude in the U.S. But it isn't necessarily the most important benchmark in the world. Brent crude oil is an important benchmark for petroleum prices in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East — and Brent was priced above $100 for most of the year.
When I made my prediction of bankruptcy for some next generation biofuel producers, I was specifically thinking of two companies. One was Range Fuels, and only a couple of weeks after I made that prediction, the news came out that Range Fuels was out of money. The bills did come due, they could not pay them, and they ultimately went into foreclosure. There were several high-profile bankruptcies in the renewable energy sector, most notably Solyndra, and the government began to feel the fallout when these companies could not deliver on the hype they created. (I won't yet mention the second company I was thinking might go bankrupt in 2011, but I do not think they have a chance of staying in business over the long haul with their current business model. It is a company I have written about several times.)
So, for the second year in a row, I would say that my predictions were accurate. My predictions for 2010 were:
- China's moves are going to continue to make waves
- There will be more delays (and excuses) from those attempting to produce fuel from algae and cellulose
- There will be little relief from oil prices.
Those predictions, however, leave much more room for interpretation so I tried to be more specific with my predictions for 2011. In the next post I will list my Top 10 Energy Stories of 2011, and I will give predictions for 2012.

Same old story about GCSE results, with a lot of miserable people unable to celebrate the achievements of those at school.
What on earth does it matter (even if it's true) that GCSEs are easier than O-levels were 50 years ago? Universities and employers compare across one year, not across generations. When I employ someone I measure them against other people likely to be of similar ages. What matters is whether a candidate has worked hard compared with their peers, not whether they know more or less than their parents did at the same age.
And the drop in language learning? Forcing students to learn foreign languages when they are completely irrelevant to them is such a daft measure of educational success, unless the whole way they are taught and measured is changed. There is virtually no communicative work done in a GCSE, so an A* pupil might be unable to speak to, say, a French person. We want people who can speak French, not read Flaubert in the original.
David Wilkins
London W1
So, after the perennial nonsense of printing more exam certificates than ever before, in what seems to be akin to the printing of money for the purposes of quantitative easing, the British Government is now intending to introduce an English Baccalaureate – awarding it to pupils getting seven supposedly-worth-having GCSEs at 16.
The problem with this is, of course, that there is a perfectly-good International Baccalaureate already in circulation and it's a plausible alternative to A-levels at 18. That bona fide Baccalaureate has increasingly gained credence and converts over the past decade, not only in schools but in universities and as a worth-having qualification recognised around the world.
Let's hope that the Department for Education is capable of coming up with a new name to avoid confusion. If they really have to fiddle with the nomenclature instead of doing something of real value they could go back to using the term "School Certificate", from the middle of the last century. But what we don't need to do is taint another decent qualification.
Over the last quarter of a century we have gradually seen the majority of people pass most of their exams at 16 and 18. But it is difficult to see how they do so when around a quarter of those going into secondary schools are functionally illiterate. Do they rally at 16, 18, 21 or 22? So we have to endure the perpetual equivalent of the Emperor's new clothes.
Perhaps what we should be doing is having a public inquiry into educational standards.
Paul Dunwell
Alton, Hampshire
Hooray! The Independent's education correspondent has belatedly discovered that our education system has been reduced to the manipulation of pupils to improve school positions in government league tables ("This is all about school rankings in league tables", 26 August). It has been happening in primary schools since 1997 (with SATs for 11-year-olds) but the discovery that it is happening at GCSE in the secondary schools makes it big news.
Don't you think that two successive governments might have noticed what is happening to our children in this reductionist model? Of course they have, but this is what the last two governments (and their lucratively funded advisers) apparently see as a model for educating and developing lifelong learners.
Perhaps the total of Neets hitting almost one million this week and the disenchanted youthful looters of the current summer are telling us something different?
Professor Bill Boyle
School of Education
University of Manchester
It is wonderful to read about the accomplishments of our youngsters at GCSE. However, I do have one question: what counts as a failure?
My own son assures me that D, E and F are passing grades. Since I know that schools are judged on grades A-C, my response has always been, "Not in this house." Is it so very bad for a child to be told they have failed?
Or is it part of a pattern? All shall pass. All shall go to university. All shall have degrees. Perhaps that is why we have ended up with large numbers of unemployed graduates and universities charging fees because they cannot survive otherwise.

Helping police with inquiries
It has taken five days to investigate the crash at Bournemouth and clear the Red Arrows to fly again. Yet the inquiry by the IPCC into the shooting dead of Mark Duggan by the police, which sparked the recent riots, is "complex" and may take four to six months.
I do not understand why there should be such a huge difference. Perhaps, if the inquiry is prolonged, people will have forgotten about the circumstances in six months' time, and there won't be an outcry when the officers involved are exonerated.
Dr Clive Mowforth
Dursley, Gloucestershire
Andrew White (letter, 15 August) makes a plea for policing to more directly benefit the ordinary citizen, with a greater focus on street policing. I have lived in the same inner-city street for more than 20 years and I have no recollection of seeing a police patrol on foot in my street, although I see traffic wardens almost daily.
It would seem to me to be better, if one has only one type of patrol, that it should be by an agent with an interest in all types of crime rather than just one type of crime.
Of course, we all know that the streets are so zealously patrolled by traffic wardens because there is money to be made out of parking offences, whereas ordinary policing is messy and less profitable. Isn't it sad that we have become so materialistic that even the maintenance of law and order has been boiled down to money-making?

The high cost of food allergies
I am one of the many people who have food intolerances, as described by Dan Roberts (23 August). I am in the fortunate position of being able to buy substitute food products, which make my diet somewhat more varied and palatable, but am aware that the generally high price of these must put them beyond the range of many. A typical example is that in one supermarket ordinary porridge oats cost 9.9p per 100g, whereas gluten-free oats are 66.4p per 100g.
While appreciating that production costs for such products are bound to be higher, because of specialist manufacturing processes, special ingredients and a limited market, I recently wrote to the leading supermarket chains seeking their comments on the affordability of these foods. The uniform response has been that my letter has been passed to the relevant department, none of which has as yet responded.
Janet Woodward
Council tax goes up in smoke
David Prosser comments on Kent County Council's pension fund investment in tobacco companies (24 August).
The council's spend on education campaigns helping people to give up smoking is only a small part of a total £40m spent every year in meeting the excess costs of smoking in Kent over and above the taxes paid by smokers on their cigarettes.
That's not just the costs to GPs and hospitals, but includes the fire authority costs of cigarette fires in the home, police enforcement work on the 10 per cent of cigarettes illicitly imported, and local councils clearing litter bins and streets of stubs. So the county's own public health figures show the council invests £24m in a business which costs Kent residents £40m each year.
If Kent County Council doesn't care about the ethics, shouldn't they at least get the economics right?

UK media just don't get France
Your silly-season instalment of Frog-bashing ("Why the French still don't get it", Lucy Wadham, 25 August) is as wide of the mark as most of its predecessors.
Recent polls have shown that the majority of French voters don't want Dominique Strauss-Kahn to run as a Socialist Party candidate in next year's presidential election. Far away from Lucy Wadham's dinner parties, many in la France profonde were shocked both by DSK's sexual behaviour and his flaunting of conspicuous wealth in TriBeca.
Then there's her example of the Dreyfus Affair. Initially, it was a "mirror to French anti-semitism". But he was cleared fully and reinstated following a powerful campaign sparked by Zola's "J'accuse".
Maybe it's more a case of the British media not getting it about France, a country of contradictions that defies stereotyping. Autre pays, autres moeurs.
Rod Chapman

Jobs market
It may well be true that "most jobs in the real world are not advertised in newspapers, but come from someone saying to their friend, relation or neighbour: 'There's a job going at my place.' " (Letter, 25 August.) Some time later, of course, you and the others involved may well be accused of nepotism, corruption and not putting jobs out to tender.

Living church
The use of a former church building for a Tesco Express should not upset Terence Blacker (23 August). The building is not the church, the church is the people, and if the building has become a burden the people will serve others better without it. It is good to see the building put to use for the community.

Debt weapon
An academic study of the use of debt as a control mechanism would strongly suggest that the hidden agenda behind the sale of council houses (letter, 25 August) and the replacement of student grants by loans was the intention to inhibit strikes and student protest.

Perspectives on women in the boardroom
Yes, we can run things, but what about pay?
I have read much information over the years about women in management and am unsurprised that there are still so few reaching the top levels in business management. Paula Wilton's letter (24 August) remarks that the problem exists not just at top management levels and that it is difficult to reach all levels of seniority. That is very true. Many of us taking a family break have had to start again at the bottom of our careers.
One of the ways in which women achieve some success is in the management of charitable enterprises. I have been a director of two charitable companies, both running very successful enterprises and am now a trustee of a national charitable organisation. I know many competent women in similar positions. The difference of course is that these positions are unpaid.
In a country where charities now run many important mainstream functions it would be interesting to know just how many women are in charge and what it would cost if we remunerated them at a rate commensurate with business directors.
Gail Coleshill
Crewkerne, Somerset
And what about class?
You note that "just 12.5 per cent of FTSE 100 bosses are female" (leading article, 24 August). But I wonder how many of these chiefs of industry come from a working-class or lower middle-class background.

|Easier approach: optional parking near the power lines. At the power lines on the west side of the road, look across the road and you can see the cliff. Follow the dirt road just left of the power lines uphill. This will put you directly under the power lines. Keep following the dirt road until the second set of power line poles right by 2 car-sized boulders. Just before the boulders, follow the path into the woods. There is a large cairn 20 feet in. Follow the path pretty much paralleling the road for 10 min. As of late sept 2014 there were lots of hornets and looked like many nests by climbs 5-9 or so. Also, the bridge is out at the moment, but that's okay because you do not need to cross it.

The parking area under the powerlines is definitely closer, and we also used to park there. However, we were politely asked one day by the gentleman across the street not to park there, and to instead use the area up the road. Not sure if this is still the case, as we haven't been there in two years, but just thought we'd make a note of it.
Regardless of where you park, have a fun time out climbing!

Researchers suggest the drop is evidence the sagging U.S. economy is having an impact on the online advertising market
An index that tracks online ad prices for publishers shows that rates dropped 23 percent, from 49 cents in March to 38 percent in April, based on the effective cost-per-thousand impressions (eCPM).
Researchers working on the PubMatic AdPrice Index suggested the slowdown is evidence that the sagging U.S. economy was beginning to impact the online advertising market.
"When we looked at the data, what we found was that the shift was pretty broad-based," said Rajeev Goel, general manager of PubMatic, a company that helps automate ad-serving decisions for Web publishers. "It cuts across verticals, it cuts across different [regions] within the U.S., and it cuts across different types of publishers. That's what led us to the conclusion that it is probably an artifact of the slowdown in the U.S. economy."
The results were particularly severe among social networks and large Web sites.
eCPMs for large Web sites, meaning those with more than 100 million page views per month, experienced a drop of 52 percent, with an average of 38 cents in March to 18 cents in April. Social Networking sites were even worse off, as monetization dropped 47 percent, from 37 cents average CPMS in March to 19 cents in April.
Small Web sites -- those with fewer than 1 million page views per month -- were the only bright spot, fetching $1.29 in April compared to $1.17 in March.
The index also found a number of common tactics used by Internet publishers to counteract the decreasing monetization. Most common was using multiple ad networks to deliver ads, occasionally bringing in foreign ad networks to protect against the declining value of the U.S. dollar. Doing so allows U.S. publishers to make the most from the international segment of their audience, said Goel. "That's why the 30 percent of a publisher's traffic that is international can count for more than 30 percent of their revenue," he said.
Also, given the success of smaller publishers -- who appear to benefiting from more targeted and relevant ad tags -- larger publishers are increasingly segmenting their sites to operate like those smaller sites. For example, "if you've got a consumer electronics site, you want to [divide into] cameras phones, PCs. Those tags will drive better performance," Goel said.
Evidence that social networks are struggling with monetization is not surprising given this month's financial news, most recently News Corp.'s announcement that Fox Interactive Media, which includes MySpace, would fall 10 percent short of revenue projections for the fiscal year.
The index is based on data from 3,000 publishers who work with PubMatic for ad network and layout optimization services. PubMatic launched the index in March, and intends to produce it monthly.
In response to news of the Index today, online advertising blogger Mike on Ads suggested the real reason behind the drop in monetization last month wasn't the economy, but the cyclical nature of media spending. "Agencies have quarterly budgets," he wrote, and they frequently have additional goals to meet or money to spend at the end of a quarter, which means a spike in media spending during the final month of any given quarter. "March, June, September and December [are] always high in revenue," he wrote, so "what we're seeing is a normal cyclical trend, where Q1 budgets moved to ad networks in March, disappeared in April."
While Goel conceded that quarterly budgets may have played a small role in the March-to-April drop, he said it could not fully explain the decline. "If this were the case, then we should expect that April 2008 vs. January 2008 was relatively flat. In fact, it was not," he wrote via e-mail. Rather, large Web sites saw a 42 percent drop in monetization from 31 cents to 18 cents from January to April. Meanwhile the aggregate monetization rate for all sites dropped 10 percent, from 42 cents to 38 cents between January and April.

Draper - There's no hospital attached to the new Lone Peak Emergency Center, but the freestanding emergency room is equipped to handle any trauma, from mass casualties to a fallen hiker.
Out back are ambulance bays and a helipad. There's an on-site imaging center and laboratory, 10 trauma suites, including one for psychiatric patients -- and, for now, an empty waiting room.
"For us, it's like having 10 more beds," said Julie Fox, an emergency physician who will run the satellite ER for St. Mark's Hospital in Salt Lake City and its parent, MountainStar hospital chain. "But for the people in and around Draper, it means no longer having to drive 12 miles for emergency care."
Located off State Street and 11800 South, the Lone Peak Emergency Center opened on Tuesday and will function around the clock as part of St. Mark's. It is Utah's only standalone emergency department, a low-overhead business model popular in regions of the country where shrinking populations have led to hospital closures.
And it's part of a trend across the valley to boost the number of patients seen in emergency rooms, despite a push by public health officials to steer people to primary care facilities to reduce health care costs.
An emergency room is the most expensive place to provide treatment. It's also where hospitals can lose money. Roughly half of the patients who need help paying their bills -- a hospital's charity care and bad debt cases -- come through the emergency department.
But emergency rooms lure new patients, and with steady growth predicted for the south valley, MountainStar figured a satellite ER was a "right-sized" move.
"This is about delivering quality care to a region that needs it. As we looked into this we asked, 'What's the right distance for someone to drive to deliver a baby?'" said Mark Meadows, the hospital chain's business strategist. "It's not a loss leader. If we were going to lose money on this, we wouldn't be here."
Other hospitals -- Iasis Healthcare's Salt Lake Regional, Jordan Valley, Davis and Pioneer Valley -- have started advertising ER wait times on websites.
Salt Lake Regional Medical Center, in Salt Lake City, recently renovated its emergency department, adding five patient rooms.
"We had a small, cramped, old emergency room. Volume was low," said Salt Lake Regional emergency room physician Mark Flammer, who is board chairman of a group of ER physicians contracted to work in Iasis hospitals. "The thought was, let's improve the whole atmosphere of the place. People will be more inclined to come there because it's improved."
The hospital also boosted efficiency, with staff on a daily basis assessing the average amount of door-to-doctor time, he said.
Flammer noted the emergency room can be the entrance to ongoing care, with patients referred to doctors who practice at the hospital.
Plus, "It's also a matter of trying to attract people with true emergencies -- ones that are best seen in the [emergency department] because of the prompt evaluation and treatment that we can give," he wrote in an e-mail.
If emergency rooms are the bait, then the best fishing looks to be in the south valley. Intermountain Healthcare recently opened a hospital in Riverton, with Primary Children's Medical Center building its first inpatient satellite at that hospital. The hospital chain also expanded Alta View's emergency room in 2009.
And the University of Utah expects to start construction in July on a 208,000-square-foot health center in South Jordan near Daybreak that will include a free-standing emergency department.
The goal is to be where patients live, said Rob Lloyd, executive director for ambulatory services and community clinics for University of Utah Health Care. He expects the center to draw significant new business, "just because the population is growing so much out there."
The new Lone Peak Emergency Center will be one of only two serving south valley populations east of I-15, say MountainStar executives who have been monitoring growth there for three years.
First responders say the satellite will help them react quicker to 911 calls and return to the field.
"One of the things we always look to improve is the time it takes to transport a patient to the healing hands of a doctor. Those minutes save lives," said Capt. Jason Nicholl, a paramedic with the Salt Lake County Fire Department. Lone Peak patients who require surgery or hospitalization will need to be stabilized and transported elsewhere. But Fox predicts that will be "only 10 percent of our patients."
The satellite also shares space with the Lone Peak Medical Office Building. And come June, patients will find primary care doctors and specialists there.

Burn Notice - 6.17 & 6.18 - You Can Run - Preview
Posted by Dahne1 at Wednesday, December 19, 2012 9 CommentsCancelled Shows
Burn Notice season finale airs Thursday on USA, 9/8 C
It's an explosive ending to what may be the best season of Burn Notice so far. Cars race, motorcycles chase, bullets and a Molotov cocktail fly, medicine is used as torture, and people die. Jam packed with action, the two-hour season finale begins with Michael sneaking out to meet…..Jason Bly. Woo hoo! I love that character. Bly offers to bring Michael in as a CSS witness, pretty much guaranteeing Michael jail time but eliminating the threat of CIA dynamo Olivia Riley on his family and friends. That may be a bargain as Riley becomes more unhinged as the episode progresses. Of course the rest of the team doesn't see it that way. Unfortunately their situation goes from bad to worse when they try to get passage aboard a ship at port. Riley finds the union boss they bribed and in the resulting shoot out Jesse is caught and Sam is wounded. Michael sums it up: "It's been a rough week."
The theme of the night is how many bad decisions for the right reasons does it take to turn someone into a bad guy themselves. Primarily the subject is approached by Sam. It's evident he has issues with Michael's choices of late and implies that Michael is turning into the very people he fought so hard against. In one poignant moment, Sam makes Michael swear he will make things right again. Meanwhile Fiona is at her kick butt best, not taking no for an answer. While Michael looks for persuasion techniques with their hostage, Fiona prefers straight talk with a gun: "Hi! We haven't officially met but you shot one of my best friends. Michael has principles about not hurting people. I don't. Michael says that you're a nice guy and I could care less. And Michael thinks it's wrong to shoot people and I don't give a damn. So why don't you give me Riley's location right the hell now or I'll give you a 9 millimeter tracheotomy." Go Fi!
The finale contains poignant moments as well. Jesse is hit hard, figuratively and literally, in interrogation and Riley sure knows his weak spot. What starts off as snarky repartee ends in desperation and real emotion, giving us more insight into his character. I've liked Jesse more every season he's been in with season 6 being his best.
Other tidbits - A guest character I never thought I'd see again helps in a pinch. The ending had me literally yelling, "Say what? Nooo!" The 24-style split screens are back. Relationships are asunder. In other words, it's a typical Burn Notice finale that left me on the edge of my seat and anxiously awaiting season 7.
Burn Notice airs this Thursday at 9/8 C on USA Network. It is a two-hour double feature.

New satire unleashes Hitler on modern, multi-cultural Germanytags: Nazis, books, Germany, Time, Adolf Hitler, satire
What would happen if Adolf Hitler woke up in modern-day Berlin to find that it was not occupied by Russian soldiers but instead by a vibrant, multicultural citizenry? This is the premise of the debut novel by German journalist Timur Vermes, Er Ist Wieder Da (He's Back), which has topped Germany's best-seller list.
Narrated in the first-person by Hitler, the story follows the Führer as he awakens from a 66-year sleep in his bunker beneath Berlin to find an entirely changed Germany. In the celebrity-obsessed modern-day city, everyone assumes the fulminating leader of the Nazi party is a comedian in character — and soon he becomes a celebrity with a guest slot on a Turkish-born comedian's TV show. His bigoted rants are interpreted as a satirical exposure of prejudice, leading him to decide to start his own political party....

Your favorite all-time Ravens moment? Watching them win the Super Bowl this year. We had a great regular season but, as usual, every playoff game was a nail-biter. So it was great to see them come out with a win and it was even better to see Ray Lewis end his career with another Super Bowl ring... Handout / Baltimore Sun
