Advertising, Consumer Spending: How Low Can It Go?
by Diane Mermigas on Jul 31, 7:30 AM
Hang on to your balance sheets. Advertising and consumer-generated revenues are on a steep dive that could take a devastating toll well into 2009. That's the challenge for many public companies: If you cannot accurately forecast revenues, valuations begin drifting.

Marketers Look To Online Sales For Future Growth
by Diane Mermigas on Jul 30, 8:01 AM
As advertising migrates from the static traditional and print environment to the digital marketplace, it culminates in the final "sale" advertisers seek. If the growth of e-commerce is thrown off by a pullback in consumer spending, it could slow the evolution of advertising into an interactive dynamic and primary revenue source.

Shore Up Traditional Media With Cross-Platform Content
by Diane Mermigas on Jul 29, 7:30 AM
Contrary to popular belief, consumers are spending three-times the money on consumer-supported media as on ad-supported media--opting for convenient, cost-effective access through mobile TV, online streaming and downloads. Marketers will learn to respond to such media consumption with smart social media tools.

Marketers Must Master Social Media
by Diane Mermigas on Jul 24, 7:31 AM
The success of social-marketing efforts should be assessed by speed and quality of community interaction and engagement as much as page views. Marketers must resign themselves to longer-term social-media efforts--rather than quick-hit campaigns in which they must continuously interact with consumers.

Abu Dhabi Investor Drives GE, NBCU Deal
by Diane Mermigas on Jul 23, 7:30 AM
Facing its toughest uphill battle in decades, blue-chip king General Electric has created an $8 billion global partnership with Abu Dhabi-based Mubadala Development Co., which is in the process of buying enough discounted GE shares on the open market to become one of the conglomerate's top 10 institutional investors.

Money Spot: Video Games Are Having Banner Year
by Diane Mermigas on Jul 21, 7:30 AM
Game-playing in all of its emerging digital forms appears to be the one media sector that could be impervious to economic malaise. It has even slowed the meteoric growth of online advertising and caused Google to miss some of its quarterly targets for the first time.

Yahoo-Google: An Alliance That Could Work
by Diane Mermigas on Jul 18, 7:30 AM
If the Yahoo-Google alliance passes regulatory muster, it will significantly close the monetization gap between the two companies and eventually generate at least $2 billion of new annual revenue. That's not bad for a deal that occurs as a result--and in spite of--Microsoft's exasperated pursuit of Yahoo, while skirting the hassles of a merger or acquisition.

Historical Traveler Reviews Veneto Palace Hotel Rome
You get what you pay for!
My husband and I stayed in Hotel Veneto in April 2004 and it was our first trip to Italy. The bus ride from the airport to the hotel was such a shock to us (because of the absolutely nutty driving) that we were pleased to have arrived in one piece. We could not have asked for a better hotel. The room was very clean, everything worked, and we slept comfortably. We always did our best to speak to the staff in Italian and they were always very kind to us. The staff recommended fabulous restaurants for dinner and made reservations for us. Cautions: Hotel Veneto is one a loud street so you'll hear cars and motorscooters zooming up and down. The door keys/locks are tricky to lock and unlock. The elevator is a bit slow. Breakfast is on the top floor and consists of cereal, pre-packaged dry pastry, bread, juice and coffee. Go into your stay with reasonable expectations and you will enjoy it! Chow!
We would recomment this hotel
We are a couple of friends who stayed at this hotel on June 16,2004 for 4 nights. We enjoyed every minute of our stay there. The hotel is very clean, very well located, easy access to all parts of the city, there is a bus who stops just outside the hotel and which can be taken from different parts of the city. The Staff is wonderful, very helpful and polite. Breakfast is good. The only thing which bothered us was that that there is no shelve under the mirror in the bathroom and no hooks whatever to be able to hang something.
Typical Italian Hotel
My wife and I stayed for 5 nights at the Hotel Veneto in Rome. The Hotel is well situated and we walked to all the major attractions.
The Hotel Veneto is a basic 3 * Hotel. The room we had was rather small and appeared dingy due to the dark wall paper. It was however clean and tidy & the plumbing all worked, which was rather surprising for an Italian Hotel.
The reception staff were very dower and always appeared too busy to be of any help. However the barmen/concierge were more than helpful and also cheerful. Perhaps this was because we bought a few drinks at the badly appointed bar. Unsurprisingly the bar was usually empty of customers.
The breakfasts were of the basic continental variety and of no use to man nor beast and coffee and juice was served from machines - YUK
Would I stay there again - NO - even though the price for a hotel in Rome could be considered reasonable.
Would not stay here again
Please look around before you decide on this one. I did not heed the warnings on Trip Advisor before my trip, and regret it. The plusses are that it is clean, cheap & walkable to many attractions. The downside is the staff is awful, the noise terrible (you can hear EVERYTHING in the room from the inside -snoring, people flushing toilets, doors slamming). I would think it is worth it to spend just a little more to have a better place to stay. I got anxious every night wondering how many hours of sleep I would get from all the noise (and I had earplugs in too).
Good Basic Hotel
We have just come back from our stay in Rome. The Hotel Veneto is a well situated basic 3* hotel. It was very clean and the staff were courteous and helpful. It was absolutely fine as a base and the breakfast brioche are very good! Good value for money.
Lovely Jublee - Super Hotel Perfect Position
Myself and my wife both stayed at this hotel and had a fabulous time.
The hotel is located in one of the poshest parts of Rome so consequently you are completely safe and far removed from the hustle and bustle of the Train Station. The rooms were fine and excellent value for money although the breakfast was a bit of a let down - coffee,tea, cereals, croissants and diluted orange squash. Remember to ask the waitress for a real cappuccino (no extra charge!)
Great Value for Money!
I thoroughy enjoyed my stay in Rome and the Veneto Hotel was a great base from which to view the sightseeing. It was very reasonably priced too (i booked online via the hotels own website) which had a special offer of stay 4 nights pay 3. The breakfast wasnt up to much though although the views from the rooftop terrace more than made up for that!
I would suggest this hotel to anyone on a medium budget.
Bad choice!
We stayed here in April 2000 for 4 night. Bad choice of the hotel! We, probably, had a smallest room in the hotel. The room was very tiny as well as the shower. You have to put a soup outside because there is no room to move inside the shower cabin. We had to keep the windows open at night, however, it was very noisy outside so we needed an ear plugs.
The consierge, an old man, was very nice and helful. I really don't recomment this hotel to anybody.
Not bad at all
The room was fine as was the bathroom (althought the shower was a bit small). Room and bathroom were clean. The staff were helpfull whenever we needed them. The hotel itself is located within walking distance of the Via Veneto, Spanish Steps and Piazza Navona.Thumbs up for the Hotel Veneto.
Don't stay here!
Just returned from Rome, where we spent a total of 8 nights at the Veneto Hotel. First for 5 nights and then another 3 nights after returning from Florence. DON'T STAY HERE!!! The first 5 nights were palatable only because we had a working jacuzzi in our room, but the desk staff were unhelpful and at times downright rude, the room was noisy and dark (not in an atmospheric way--just not enough light, all the tv stations had static. Then on our return we stayed in a different room and it was even more horrible...the shower had to be hand held, the jacuzzi didn't work and worst of all the bathroom had roaches! And the staff continued to be nasty. We had a problem with our credit card (someone stole the number and was charging things against it) and the hotel clerk did nothing to offer any assistance. I mean here we were from another country, without credit and as we struggled to figure out how to rectify the situation, the clerk a) would not make any calls for us to the credit card company and b) literally cursed us out because he had to run another card and do more work. If you're looking for friendly, helpful, roach free accommodations then I suggest you stay somewhere else!

Ciao Roma
I eventually arrived at my hotel in Rome at 6.00pm where I met the group I will be touring with for the next 10 days. We enjoyed a welcome reception and short bus tour of the city at dusk. I only have a few photos to post and these where taken from the coach. More (and better) photos tomorrow, I'm sure
The Colosseum and The Forum
... any one time. The idea wasn't that one of them died in the fight. However if one of them looked like he was close to dying, and he didn't look like he would survive no matter what, then the crowd would give him the thumbs up or thumbs down. The emperor would then have the final say on his fate.

Day 36 - Arrival at Rome
... that two stray old dogs were living in. One had what looked like an old broken foot that hadn't healed or been set properly and they looked like they should have some vet care and a good wash. Someone had set them up a plastic covered Hootchie that would have been warm, dry and out of the cold. They had bowls of water and could wander at will. I commented that at least they had each other and looked relatively well fed.

... and there are great views looking over Rome. It is wonderful to have the time to see parts of Rome we didn't know existed. Piazza Garibaldi was amazing and full of great statues once again. It is good to see that the Italians are still making various significant monuments to their great. And it didn't rain today – not yet anyway – felt quite warm outside – we took our warmer coats and became quite ...

This review is from: IN WIN GRone Gray 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Pros: See my review below to get my thoughts on this case. I am just writing this to add an egg for great Customer service. I emailed IN WIN regarding 2 bad fans that came with the case. Received a response in less than an hour and they shipped out replacement fans at no cost to me that very same day.
Cons: See below review of mine for my cons and suggestions for this case.
Other Thoughts: With all electronics you will occasionally get duds or DOA units. To me what makes a product good is the customer service that stands behind it when you do have a bad experience.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: IN WIN GRone Gray 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Pros: Cable Management
The amount of space between the motherboard panel for wiring.
Cons: 2 of the 3 supplied red LED fans developed a very loud rattling noise after a few days. I took them out of the case to verify it wasn't the mounting. Just bad fans. So I bought some NZXT fans to replace these only to find the mounting for the 2 front intake fans and the one behind the HDD cage are held in by 2 clips instead of having screw holes. These clips seem to fit only the In Win fans. I have tried 2 different brands (NZXT and Xigmatek) only to find they don't stay in place very well at all. They literally fall out of place. Yes I have the right size fans. the two front fans cant fall all the way down because of the HDD cage but screw holes instead of custom clips would have been great. Probably cheaper to design as well. I'll be drilling holes to screw my fans in place.
Other Thoughts: Some type of 3 pin hub would have been nice for this case. Aftermarket fans don't typically come with the split on them for daisy chaining. This is required for any fans you want to be controlled with the fan controller.
If it didn't come with two bad fans i would have given this 4 eggs. 1 deducted for the front fan mounting solution and absence of 3 pin fan hub for controller.
This review is from: COUGAR 12CM CFD Blue LED Hydraulic (Liquid) Bearing Ultra Silent Fan 1200RPM, 64.4CFM, 16.6dBA - Retail
Pros: the noise for the air flow ratio is amazing. silent. I mean you cant hear them at all. but push more air than my CM silent fans. At least twice as much. Swirling motion it makes with the ridges is cool too. If you are looking for fans for a gaming machine that may get hot and you want blue led fans THIS IS YOUR FAN!
Cons: none. Maybe the price.READ FULL REVIEW

Have you ever wondered if there's a hot spot in the city where you're most likely to get a parking ticket?
To get the answers, we hit the streets with someone who's job it is to write tickets all day long!
Parking officer Nancy Longo says that "ticket quota" thought is just a myth.
There are 164 officers in Boston who dish out those tickets.
Last year, they wrote more than 1.3 million tickets.
Here are the top spots.
Newbury Street -- between Exeter and Fairfield
Boylston Street from Clarendon to Berkley
And the No. 1 place where you're most likely to get ticketed?
This stretch of Charles Street near the Public Garden
In that stretch there are a lot of meters and a no-stopping zone.
The area sees a lot of traffic in terms of people looking for parking.
What's the most expensive parking mistake?
Parking in a handicapped space will cost you $125.
Parking in a bus stop costs $100.
If you park at a fire hydrant that also costs $100.
What does it take to actually get the dreaded boot on your car?
5 unpaid parking tickets.
After a boot comes the tow -- which costs upward of $125.
That number could easily be in the hundreds of dollars, because the city won't release your vehicle from the impound lot, until all of the fines are paid off on your plate.
That includes the initial penalty on each ticket plus the late charges, then a hefty towing fee, and a storage fee that accrues daily!

Deeplinks Blog posts about Transparency
In light of the confirmation of NSA surveillance of millions of Americans' communications records, and especially the decision by the government to declassify and publicly release descriptions of the program, the government today asked the courts handling two EFF surveillance cases for some additional time to consider their options.
In response to the recent news reports about the National Security Agency's surveillance program, President Barack Obama said today, "When it comes to telephone calls, nobody is listening to your telephone calls." Instead, the government was just "sifting through this so-called metadata." The Director of National Intelligence James Clapper made a similar comment last night: "The program does not allow the Government to listen in on anyone's phone calls. The information acquired does not include the content of any communications or the identity of any subscriber."
Today, the Guardian newspaper confirmed what EFF (and many others) have long claimed: the NSA is conducting widespread, untargeted, domestic surveillance on millions of Americans. This revelation should end, once and for all, the government's long-discredited secrecy claims about its dragnet domestic surveillance programs. It should spur Congress and the American people to make the President finally tell the truth about the government's spying on innocent Americans.
You lost some important Fourth Amendment protection when the Supreme Court ruled yesterday in Maryland v. King that the police can take a DNA sample from an arrestee without a search warrant for purposes of general law enforcement rummaging.
All but seven states have proposed or adopted legislation relating to the domestic use of drones, or unmanned aerial systems, in domestic airspace, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Now, at the invitation of the Aerospace States Association, EFF has rung in with the three crucial elements that all drone legislation must contain to balance privacy rights with free-speech concerns.

Bethlehem City Council tapped 34-year-old Cathy Reuscher Monday night to fill the two-year vacancy left when Mayor Robert Donchez was elected as the city's chief executive last November.
Reuscher, a policy maker for the Appalachian Mountain Club in Bethlehem, was elected to fill the open council seat on City Council's first ballot by a simple 3-2-1 majority vote.
Voting for Reuscher were council president J. William Reynolds, Adam Waldron and Michael Recchiuti.
Sonia Vazquez received two votes and David Sanders got one vote. Ron Heckman, Lynn Rothman and Thomas Miller also received nominations.
Reuscher will be sworn in at Tuesday night's Bethlehem City Council meeting and her term will run through the end of 2015.
She said she decided to apply for City Council when she realized the south side of the city had no representative on the council.
"I feel like this is an honor and I'm going to earn it over the next two years," said Reuscher, who earned her college degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
"I'm going to focus on sustainable development in the downtown area and improving walkability. Those are the two focuses I'm going to have," she said.
Resucher stressed the need for a downtown grocery store that is within walking distance of residents.
Reuscher would have to run for election to City Council in the May 2015 primary. She said that wasn't her original intention for seeking the open seat, but also stated she hasn't ruled out an election campaign.
On Jan. 30, council met for six hours interviewing 11 candidates for the vacant seat.
Each candidate was interviewed for about 30 minutes by five council members.
Diversity was the watchword that all City Council members used when explaining their decision for their appointment criteria.
"This was a next to impossible decision," Reynolds said. "What we need to have is representation from all sides of the city. What could we do to bring diversity to the council and what could we bring that we didn't have. It was a tough decision between Ms. Reuscher and Ms. (Sonia) Vazquez."
Vazquez, a Bethlehem native and principal of Donegan Community Elementary School, had the support of council vice-president Karen Dolan and Eric Evans.
She was thought to be the front-runner, because she would give a voice to Bethlehem's growing Latino community.
"We need diversity. Diversity is not a dirty word," Dolan said. "Never ignore diversity and (council) is lacking it."
Reynolds urged the citizens who sought the open seat -- including Ronald Heckman, a Northampton County Council member for more than eight years -- and Sanders, who narrowly lost a City Council campaign last year, to continue their quest for public service.
"There are lots of board and commissions in the city," Reynolds said. "The people who don't get the council seat tonight should think about approaching Mayor Donchez for an appointment on those boards and commissions."

A company is only as good as the manpower on the front lines, and if David's service is typical of Health Choice One's employee pool, then it is understandable that you are one of the largest health care coverage brokers in the country. I have had no prior interaction with Health Choice One, but as a result of this encounter, will certainly recommend the company to my colleagues and peers.

His degree of helpfulness is uncommon these days. I was impressed.

Year End Wrap-up
Painting Rain
Originally I had planned on releasing Painting Rain by mid-December. However, with the rewrites required, and other unforeseeable issues, I gave up on that deadline and allowed myself to focus on Christmas and family. I haven't done much with it for the past several weeks, but now that out-of-town family is gone and the festivities are finished, I'll be able to get back to work. I need to complete my final read-through before sending it off to copy editors. Once that's done, I'll finalize the cover and make it available for pre-order. I expect copies will land it reader hands in 4-6 weeks.

My OTHER Work in Progress
I'm not one to work on multiple projects at once. I'd rather not split my focus, but for this very special project I made an exception. I've been working on this for about four and a half months now, and I'll be working on it for another four and a half.
Whether this project will center around a hero or a heroine, I don't yet know, but I'll let you know when that verdict is in.
This is #5 for us. Wish me luck!
The Choices We Make
I was musing about the Twilight series this morning. Random, I know. But it got me thinking about something important.
When I was first introduced to the series, I loved it. It was well told and based on a twist of an idea that I'd never encountered before. As time went on I found several elements of the book I might not have agreed with, but overall, I liked the series. That was before the big craze hit, or at least before I was aware of the crazed fandom that had developed. That obsessive kind of fandom left a bad taste in my mouth and turned me off to the series for a while before I remembered the reason I had found Twilight so compelling in the first place.
You see, it wasn't the love story or the vampires that pulled me in. It was the idea that despite the fact that the Cullens were essentially damned creatures, doomed to bring pain and grief into the lives of others, they chose not to.

12 tips to ensure water safety this summer
Summer is around the corner and before we know it, we'll be gathering up the kiddos and heading to the beach or pool for sun and fun.
Kids can make great memories playing in the water and it's a great way for the entire family to play together. Just be sure to follow some of these easy tips to keep everyone safe:
1. Review water safety rules with your kids before you go to make sure they know what to expect. Make sure there is a lifeguard on duty while kids are in the pool. Stay in the water with your younger children, especially if they are not strong swimmers.
2. Consider using a flotation jacket or a personal flotation device for small children. Stay with them at all times.
3. Use a kiddie pool, if available, for young children who don't yet swim. They can splash and romp in the water without being tempted to go to deeper water.
4. Take a child CPR class before summer gets here. Being able to respond to an actual emergency can be lifesaving in case of an accident.
5. Sign your kids up for swimming lessons with a certified instructor. Kids will learn safety tips and proper technique for swimming and water survival. There are classes suitable for kids of all ages, even infants.
6. Instruct kids not to swallow pool water as it only takes 10 particles of cryptosporidium, a germ that causes diarrhea according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to make them ill.
7. If you have young children, take frequent potty breaks to prevent accidents in the pool.
8. Reapply sunscreen often as tots' skin is very sensitive and prone to burning. Use a higher SPF for fair-skinned children.
9. Allow 30 minutes after meals or snacks to allow food to digest and prevent stomach cramping.
10. Keep hydrated. The power of the sun and activity in the water can cause dehydration.
11. After pool time, be sure to bathe everyone to wash the chemicals off kids' skin. Their sensitive skin can develop rashes or discomfort from pool play.
12. Encourage kids not to play by the drain in the bottom of the pool. The suction can easily capture little fingers and toes.
It's been a long winter for many of us, so it's important to enjoy as much of our favorite summer activities as possible, while staying safe.

How I agree.
I used to go to a keep fit class not so long ago at a church in Southwick, West Sussex ,where I live.
For some reason,I have no idea why - one of the members invited my to look round the place one day - may to convert(you'll be lucky) - who knows?
Anyway as we were talking, I mentioned the fact that I am Jewish. Her reply was "Oh we love the Jews" - made me feel like Jews were some kind of creatures kept in a zoo to be pitied and fed.
Needless to say I don't keep fit any more.
Please, don't do the 'Jew thing' by Michael Freedland

The Kindle DX is the big brother to the normal Kindle. The DX is outfitted with a 9.7-inch screen. If you've got the money and want more screen real estate for reading ebooks, then this is the one you want.
It's as thin as a magazine at just over 1/3 an inch. Read PDFs, ebooks, blogs, and web sites with included U.S. Wireless. Interestingly, this Kindle only has U.S. Wireless included, not global wireless like the base Kindle model.
Rotate the Kindle and the screen transforms into landscape mode for better viewing of graphs, maps, web pages, or tables.
There's also no computer required to use a Kindle. It's completely wireless and ready to use out of the box. Battery life can extend into weeks with wireless turned off.

Yes, others would like to buy them. You can't have a smart buy without someone on the other end making a dumb sale. Too bad you didn't sell when the stock was in the $50s, and avoided the "big trouble" Icahn brings to a stock.
I don't blame them!You can always buy puts.What's your average cost on your shares honestly?
$68, I am taking profits. Saw this pump and dump from a mile away, time to exit and take some profits. Quick trade.

At Kmart, buy one select pair of men's, women's, or kids' shoes, and get a second pair of equal or lesser value for $1. (Add two pairs to your cart to see this discount.) Choose in-store pickup to avoid shipping fees, which start at around $6, or bag free shipping on orders of $49 or more. That's tied with last month's mention as the best multi-buy deal we've seen on shoes from Kmart (although that offer only required a $35 purchase for free shipping). Eligible brands include Everlast, Joe Boxer, DieHard, Northwest Territory, Disney, and Nickelodeon. Some exclusions apply.
Of note, Shop Your Way Rewards members will earn a Kmart credit with this purchase and may be eligible for additional credits and discounts.

Matt Barkley still has every intention of playing in his final college game at USC, a New Year's Eve date with Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl, but he's not in any rush. According to coach Lane Kiffin, Barkley's ailing shoulder will keep him out of bowl practices until at least Dec. 26, when the Trojans arrive in El Paso, and possibly longer. In the meantime, with virtually nothing at stake in the game for Barkley or his team on the heels of arguably the worst season ever for a team that began the year ranked No. 1, the emphasis has already begun to shift from the outgoing star to the heir apparent.

right before we arrived there was a robbery at the front desk, which was handled in a decent way. After getting the key to the room and walked to our room the hallway smelled like Marijuana, the room had the heat on, figured it was accidently left on, until I was in bed and felt something crawling on me.
