Gannett (NYSE:GCI) is a media company that publishes USA Today, the nation's largest newspaper by circulation, along with 101 other daily newspapers in the US and UK. Although the company owns various Web sites and 23 television stations, newspaper advertising accounted for two-thirds of its revenue in 2007.
Gannett's circulation numbers and attendant advertising revenues have been declining - a trend shared by many of the company's competitors, who are losing ad dollars to the internet and other media. Classified ads, which made up 40% of Gannett's print advertising revenues in 2007, are at particular risk from online job boards and websites such as Craigslist. Gannett's advertising revenues declined 6% from 2006 to 2007, while internet advertising grew at double digit percentage during the same period.[1] Additionally, GCI's print advertising decreased 22.7% during Q4 2008 because of slumping advertising demand amidst the economic downturn as well as the shift of advertisers to the Internet.[2]
In an attempt to capitalize on internet advertising revenue, Gannett has built websites for its publications, and has acquired, built, or partnered with a number of websites. In 2006, Gannett generated over $400 million in revenue from online ad sales, nearly twice the online revenues of The New York Times Company (NYT) and Dow Jones (DJ). However, Gannett is a much larger company, and these online sales represent only 5% of its total revenue, compared to 10% and 8% for Dow Jones and The New York Times.
Despite Gannett's national footprint, most of the company's advertising revenue is local, and therefore subject to local economic conditions in the markets in which Gannett operates. In 2007, local and classified advertising made up 84% of Gannett's total print advertising revenues.[3]
Gannett is a media conglomerate that operates three businesses: publishing, digital, and broadcasting.[4] GCI's publishing division, which includes its primary USA Today newspaper, is the company's largest segment in terms of revenue as it accounts for 84.4% of the company's 2008 revenue.[5] In 2008, GCI earned $6.8 billion in revenue.[5]
Gannett is the largest newspaper publisher in the U.S. by circulation.[6] GCI publishes 85 daily newspapers including the USA Today and about 850 non-daily publications as well as affiliated websites.[6] GCI also owns publication operations in the United Kingdom, with 17 daily newspapers and more than 200 weekly publications.[6] The company's U.S. publications reach about 14 million readers every weekday and 12.6 million readers every Sunday.[7]
The publishing segment depends greatly on advertising revenues to run its businesses- advertising represented 73% of the segment's 2008 revenue.[8] GCI's publications also earn revenue through circuIation fees and commercial printing.[8] 2008, GCI's publications division earned $5.7 billion in revenue, a 13% drop from 2007, primarily because of a 16% drop in advertising sales in 2008.[8] Moving forward, the company expects that its publication revenues will be further threatened by the global recession in 2009 as advertisers continue to slash advertising expenditures.[8]
In 2008, GCI created its digital segment, which includes its online businesses like CareerBuilder.com and ShopLocal.[9] CareerBuilder.com is primarily based in North America- the website is the largest online recruitment and career advancement source for employees, recruiters, and job seekers.[10] GCI's digital segment earned $281 million in revenue in 2008.[9] In 2009, the company expects its digital business to grow following expansion of its CareerBuilder.com website to Europe and Asia.[10]
GCI's broadcasting segment includes 23 television stations and affiliated websites in markets with a total of 20.8 million households reaching 18% of the U.S. population.[10] Like its other segments, GCI's broadcasting business earns revenue primarily through advertising sales.[10] In 2008, the broadcasting segment earned $773 million in revenue, a 2% decrease from a year earlier because of drops in advertising sales.[10] However, the segment's online revenues increased by 13% in 2008 as the company attempts to transition its television broadcasting to the Internet.[10] In 2009, GCI expects its broadcasting revenue to decline further because of a weakening advertising market.[10]
Gannett earned $6.8 billion in revenue in 2008, representing a 9% drop from 2007 because of weaker performance in its publishing and broadcasting divisions.[12] In particular, GCI's publishing segment decreased 13% in revenue in 2008 because of declines in advertising sales associated with the global economic crisis.[12]
GCI incurred operating expenses of $13.5 billion in 2008 primarily because one-time non-cash imparirment charges of $8.35 billion regarding some of the company's publications.[12] Operating expenses excluding the non-impairment charges declined 3% in 2008 representing lower newsprint expenses.[10] As a result of the non-cash impairment charges, GCI reported a net loss of $6.65 billion in 2008.[12] However, apart from these one-time costs, the company's net income still would have declined 27% during the year because of slumping revenues in its publishing and broadcasting divisions.[10]
Gannet generates most of its revenue from advertising, which includes both print and online channels. For example, in 2008, GCI earned 73% of its publishing revenue from advertising sales.[8] Like most newspaper companies, Gannett has suffered declines in print advertising revenue due in large part to the increasing popularity of the Internet and online advertising. Gannett has responded to the challenges of the print industry by increasing its own online presence, but is still failing to stem its decreases in advertising sales in its publishing and broadcasting businesses.
Several areas of print advertising have been particularly affected by economic conditions and the shift towards the Internet. GCI's publications rely primarily on automotive, retail, and classified advertising to earn revenue. In 2008, retail and classified advertising sales fell by 10% and 25%, respectively.[8] As a result, advertising revenue dropped 16% overall in the publishing segment.[8] Furthermore, Gannett's broadcasting revenue fell by 2% in 2008 because of slumping advertising expenditures.[9] Moving forward, GCI expects that its publishing segment will be hit hard in 2009 as advertisers continue to cut their advertising expenditures because of the global recession.[8]
Gannett has worked to increase its online competitiveness and created the Gannett Digital group in 2006 to focus on these efforts. Its online initiatives have focused around developing Web sites for its existing newspapers and television networks. In theory, the company will be able to leverage its existing user base while gaining a better understanding of its audience through registration and measuring behavior online. The number of visitors to GCI's websites rose 6.2% and revenues from online advertisements grew 72% in 2008[13] as the company seeks to expand its online presence.
Though the age of the Internet has diminished the importance of the circulation of print newspapers, it nevertheless remains an essential factor to newspapers' profitability. This includes both newspapers sold on newsstands as well as subscriptions. USA Today is the paid newspaper with the largest circulation in the country and Gannett has the highest total circulation numbers of any newspaper company, averaging about 6.6 million in daily paid circulation.[6] Excluding sales of its flagship USA Today newspaper, circulation revenue decreased 6% during 2008.[14]
Newsprint prices are a significant cost for any newspaper, and consolidation among suppliers has increased prices for newsprint - Gannett's newsprint prices went up 9% in 2008.[12] Gannett has been more aggressive than its competitors to minimize these costs, however. In 2007, the company reduced the width of all but one of it presses, and the company says it plans additional page size reductions for 30 newspapers in 2008.[15] Because of these measures, GCI reduced its consumption of newsprint by 16% in 2008, leading to an overall 9% decline in newsprint expenditures.[12] In 2009, GCI expects slight decreases in newsprint prices which should ease the pressure on their publishing operations.[12]
Gannett's competition is twofold: other newspapers chains, and increasingly, Internet properties.
Gannett's national print competitors include New York Times Company (NYT)--publishers of the iconic namesake newspaper--and Dow Jones (DJ)--publishers of the Wall Street Journal. It also competes with countless local newspapers such as The Washington Post, in different geographies.
Company | Circulation, MM | % Internet Revenue | Revenue, $MM |
Gannett | 7.9 | 5.0% | 8,033 |
Dow Jones | 2.8 | 10.2% | 2,036 |
New York Times | 2.3 | 8.3% | 3,290 |

One reason the Internet has dramatically affected the newspaper industry is because it has become cheaper to reach audiences. In 2006, the average newspaper advertising CPM (or cost per thousand viewers) was around $25, while the comparable metric for websites was around $5. In addition, Internet advertising companies such as Google (GOOG) and Yahoo! (YHOO) have implemented performance-based business models allowing advertisers to pay only when a viewer activates a desirable action (such as clicking).
Gannett has responded to serious Internet competition for advertising revenue with its joint investments in Web sites and development of online sites around its existing offline properties. In 2006, Gannett's Internet revenue rose by 24 percent but it trails both Dow Jones and New York Times in terms of the portion of revenue coming from online.
Gannett has recently launched a new effort at uniting its print, online and broadcast holdings. Called the Information Center [1], it is envisioned as a 24-hour news desk that streamlines the process of reporting and editing. Reporters will be asked to have print, online and television skills and editors will be expected to be able to shape multi-platform content. This is broadly conceived as a way to take Gannett into the information and Internet age.

Fox News alert on new video coming in now -- sit down.
Protesters there attacked the German and the American embassies today.
Police met the protesters with live gunfire and -- were eyewitness reports of people on the ground.
-- no word officially.
Of any injuries.
Ironically it was just sixteen months ago that President Obama was speaking about the Arab Spring and this exact region.
In America think of the defiance of those patriots in Boston who refuse to pay taxes to -- Or the dignity of Rosa Parks -- -- -- set courageously.
In her seat.
So it wasn't -- Hundreds of protesters took to the streets.
Then thousands.
And in the face of batons and sometimes bullets.
They refused to go home.
What we're seeing unfold overseas today is raising new questions.
About whether the president's approach to the Middle East has failed.
Here's what Charles Krauthammer had to say about a special report about the Obama doctrine last night.
What we're seeing on the screen is the melt down the collapse.
Of the Obama policy on the Muslim world the ironies and began in Cairo in the same place with -- speech he made.
The inning was presidency in which he said he wanted to new beginning -- mutual respect implying.
That under other presidents particularly bush there was a lack of mutual respect which was an and so.
To the United States which had gone to war six at times in the last twenty years on behalf of oppressed of the Muslims in Kuwait to Kosovo.
Iraq and Afghanistan.
And and and elsewhere as so to imply.
That we somehow -- -- treated to Muslims which was the premise.
His speech and -- the Iraq War had inflame the Arab world against us well there was no storming of the US embassy in Cairo.
-- -- -- Joining me now Paul Wolfowitz is the former assistant to the secretary of defense under Donald Rumsfeld.
He also served as president of the World Bank -- it's a pleasure to have you here thank you so much for being with us on this day.
-- -- review your thoughts on Charles Krauthammer is assertion that that this is what we are witnessing now is the failure.
Of the Obama doctrine in the Middle East.
And since we're on this day or the so soon after -- -- had to say that.
I knew Chris Stevens not well but he was a fantastic human being a great ambassador and now.
The United States is without any ambassador in Libya and it's a tragedy for our relations there for those people -- that has to be said.
I believe that.
What Charles Crowder missed that is exactly right about -- apologetic posture that Obama has taken.
With the Muslim world and -- in the Arab world I wouldn't include those comments.
I think it was appropriate to welcome.
The courage of Arab freedom fighters.
Against their dictators including.
Most notably in Libya and now today in Syria.
Truth of the matter is -- as we see in -- he doesn't do much for them when they're standing up and fighting.
But the United States has nothing to apologize for we have is Charles Krauthammer said we have.
Gone to war risked our people's lives.
Over and over again for people who frequently happening Muslims I would have -- Somalia to that list of his in the Kurds in Northern Iraq it's a long list.
We should be.
In -- appropriate way.
Taking credit for it and stop this nonsense about somehow we have to apologize because some.
Obscure people who know what is even sure who they are -- posted a video on YouTube.
Anderson say do you do not tie anything we're seeing today to what we saw in the Arab Spring.
Oh of course it has -- -- doing that but you know what here's what I believe we're seeing today.
Is in the extremist groups including al-Qaeda.
They were caught back footed on the Arab Spring because these were uprisings they had nothing to do -- -- They were honestly I think the people who were fighting for the most part were fighting for freedom.
But the freedom is unfortunately -- freedom for bad actors to.
Try to take over as well and in Libya.
It's very important to emphasize that your viewers may not know because this doesn't get covered but back in July they had an election.
The Libyan people voted freely and fairly for the first time in over forty years.
And the Muslim Brotherhood came in a distant second and these extremists who seem to be behind many -- Texas so called seller fees didn't even show.
But they have the guns and one of the reasons they have the guns -- not people with a more reasonable outlook is because the United States.
Having rescued Ben -- with our air attacks then decided to leave the supply of weapons to other people who don't share our interests or values -- things happen in Syria today.
That that our viewers may it may not know that you're one of the people who believe that we needed to go to war in Iraq.
And that was something of which President Obama was very critical.
And you heard Charles Krauthammer is talking about President Obama when he first took office talking about a new beginning.
One -- where we would see mutual respect.
Between the United States of America and those in the Muslim world that -- seem to be a veiled reference to the policies under President Bush.
Do you you know there was a belief by many this country that we needed to reset after President Bush that we need instead of what many perceived as angering some in the Muslim world to reach out and open hand to them.
Do you in your thoughts on on that and where it's -- Well one of the reasons people thought that it's because they were so happy falsehoods told about President Bush including the notion that he lied about the reasons for the war.
We went to war there -- went to war in Afghanistan because of a threat to the United States but in the process.
We are also helping to liberate.
Millions of Muslims that were suffering under brutal dictatorships.
And I think it's unbecoming of the next president -- states not to say that he can.
Say whatever he likes about how.
This is misunderstood in the world but to suggest that somehow the people who criticize -- are.
Are correct in that this was a war on Muslims which is what unfortunately -- widely believed I think it's his place to try to correct that.
How do we get past this now if they have perceived weakness if they -- How do we re establish America as.
An entity with with which they need to deal and perhaps which they need to fear.
Well I think I think you're right it's we.
I think Machiavelli said it's more important to be feared than be loved it's kind of nice if you can achieve both -- respected might be a better word than feared.
But it should be clear too that we're talking about long process these it'll take a long time to work their way out.
Horrible conditions of the Arab world have been developing over decades.
Including by the way in Iraq where you had a terrible dictator ruling for decades and it takes decades to recover from that sort of experience.
But I think what is essential is that people first -- all need to understand.
-- the United States continues to be involved in the message you send when you say -- prohibiting gay -- we're finished with Iraq the war in Iraq is over -- it's not over but the US is out.
That -- -- -- same message that in a couple of years will be out of Afghanistan even if there's a war.
It says to people you can't really count on the United States so if you stand up to the extremists.
You're doing it on your own.
And frankly I think there's been way too much.
Boasting about killing Osama bin Laden it was great to kill Osama bin Laden.
But in a way you might almost speculate that these attacks which are curiously timed for September 11.
Our message from al-Qaeda that -- is.
We're still around.
And we'll still be around questioned the people ask is will the Americans be around under and I think obamas left the big question mark on them.
Paul Wolfowitz thank you very much we -- moments and.

Venture Capital Firm Moves In
New business development puts a twinkle in our Wharton-adjacent eye. So we were jazzed to read in Curbed Philly that a big VENTURE CAPITALIST firm is headed to the former bowling alley and current Keswick cycle building at 40th and Locust. The firm, called First Round Capital, is moving into University City from Conshohocken (which is crazy cuz why would anyone leave Conshohocken?!) and will set up shop in September. We wish them the best of luck doing all those things that venture capitalists obviously do!
According to Curbed, Mayor Nutter has called the impending arrival of First Round Capital "a game-changer," probably because the cool-cat capitalists will be moving in next door to the new ramen bar and money and Japanese food are two of the MOST delicious things out there.

In 2009 singer Susan Boyle's extremely popular YouTube video of the Les Miserables song "I Dreamed a Dream" racked up 140 million hits in just four days, the equivalent of a digital tsunami that blasted the Internet with gale-force winds. Given that the Internet was created more than four decades ago primarily as a communications network, few content providers other than Google could have successfully managed the storm of requests coming in for access to that video without crashing.
The Internet was designed for "computers to make phone calls to other computers, and that's a really inefficient way of distributing content," Van Jacobson, a former research fellow at Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), said in a 2011 video interview on the company's Web site. YouTube successfully handled the inundation of requests for Boyle's video "because they're a big, distributed content source spread out all over the planet, so they wouldn't get the kind of traffic concentration that would prevent something from working. Basically, Google's the only place that can do that."
The Susan Boyle YouTube phenomenon punctuated Jacobson's contention, shared by many computer scientists worldwide, that the Internet is desperately in need of a makeover to transform it from a network that emphasizes where data is located to one that focuses more on the nature of the data itself.
From his arrival at the Xerox subsidiary Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in 2006 until his departure in October, Jacobson led the organization's Project CCNx effort to overcome the current Internet architecture's shortcomings as a media distribution platform. "The goal of content-centric networking is to get out of this phone-call world and instead ask the network for what you want," says Jacobson, who in the 1980s helped improve TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), the protocol that the Internet uses to handle network congestion. Jacobson is still involved in the Named Data Networking (NDN) Project, an 11-university research program funded under the National Science Foundation's Future Internet Architectures Project.
Changing times
Since its inception as a system of interconnected computer networks in the late 1960s and early '70s the Internet has grown into a global electronic backbone for commerce, entertainment, finance, health care and nearly every other facet of life. In addition, the emergence of cloud computing, social networks and the mobile Web have turned the Internet into a distributed system for posting and accessing information from a variety of devices in ways that existing Internet protocols were not designed to accommodate. The location of the data in question—expressed by its IP address—has become less relevant because that data can reside on several different servers (known colloquially as "the cloud") and be stored in short-term cache memory at various locations throughout a network.
Of course, the Internet still functions quite well despite the changing ways in which we use it, but this situation only exists because the basic model for enabling communication between source and destination addresses has been heavily modified over time, a team of researchers noted in the July issue of IEEE Communications Magazine (pdf).
Focusing the Internet's routing infrastructure on content rather than addresses would better accommodate today's speed and security needs. "The interesting thing about allowing routers to use bits in the packets that are not addresses [is] that you can configure a network or network of networks around something other than formal address structures," says Vint Cerf, the Internet pioneer who co-developed TCP/IP and now serves as Google's chief Internet evangelist. In this scenario, content-centric identifiers would tell the routers to forward a particular packet in several directions because there are multiple parties on the Net that are interested in seeing that content, he adds.
There is no shortage of research underway to improve the Internet's performance and security mechanisms. Some projects aim to boost network speeds or reroute data to meet the growing demands of bandwidth-hogging multimedia content. Others focus on better protecting Net-connected computers, servers and other devices from malicious software and other digital threats. An emerging area of research that includes Project CCNx is information-centric networking (ICN), which seeks to cover all of these bases, and then some.

Q. I'm not exactly a needy person, but if I gave ten percent of my income to charity, I wouldn't be able to afford the basic needs of my family.
A. In last week's column, we described a dichotomy between families living at or below subsistence, who should give only a token amount to charity, and families with more resources who should be giving ten percent to those less well off. Jewish tradition in fact takes a more flexible view of matters. There are some expenses that a person can decide to "elect" as charity in case of need.
Here is an example. In general, poor family members are always given precedence in charity giving. This is learned from the verse "When you lend money to My people, to the poor with you, don't be to him like a creditor, don't take interest" (Exodus 22:24). The verse refers to helping a needy person through an interest-free loan, the preferred method when possible. The Talmud infers from the expression "the poor with you" that we give precedence to those needy individuals who are closest to us – first family, then neighbors. (1)
Another source is the verse from Isaiah (58:7), "Extend to the poor your bread, and bring downtrodden poor people into your home; when you see the naked clothe him, and don't hide from you own flesh." "Your own flesh" refers to your relatives; the verse admonishes us not to ignore them when we give charity.
Yet the following ruling from the Tosefta (a collection of laws parallel to the mishna) seems to frown on giving charity to the parent:
Two brothers, or two partner, and a father and son . . . can give their poor tithes to each other. Rabbi Yehuda said, Misfortune befalls one who gives his poor tithe to his father. (2)
The explanation is that the father, whenever possible, should be supported from the regular household budget, and charity funds given to others. Giving charity funds to the father has two problems: it shows disrespect for the father, who is treated like a charity case instead of as a family member, and it stints on charity to other individuals.
But if the family has enough to support the needy parent but not enough to provide for other poor people, then the poor tithe should in fact be used for family members.
In case of great need, even your children can be considered "charity recipients". Consider the following Talmudic passage. (The word "tzedakah" in context refers to "righteousness," but the passage understands it in its other sense, "charity".)
"Happy is he who keeps judgment, who does tzedakah at all times". (Psalms 106:3) Is it then possible to do tzedakah at all times? The rabbis in Yavneh, or some say Rabbi Eliezer, say, this refers to one who supports his young children.
Obviously a normal person shouldn't consider what he spends on his own children as charity. If so, virtually every person would be exempt from helping the poor, since it is a rare family that doesn't spend ten percent of its income on the needs of the children. The above passage evidently refers to someone who can't afford to give charity in any other way.
The authoritative Shach commentary of Rabbi Shabtai Rapaport writes that there are other expenses that can also be considered charity if there is no other way to afford them:
Any mitzvah which presents itself to him, such as . . .to buy [Torah] books to learn from them and lend them to others to study from them, if he doesn't have the means and would be unable to do that mitzvah, he can buy it from his tithe. (4)
If you are not poor, but are totally unable to give ten percent to pay for charity expenses which are beyond your household needs, then you should still set aside ten percent of your income for charity. But you may use a portion of that ten percent for special good deeds (mitzvah expenses) that you pay for within your own household. The rationale is that a person should always be in the habit of separating out part of his income to charity to remind himself it is to be used in God's service, even if afterwards he needs to spend it for his own needs.
In any case, it is necessary to give some of the tithe to poor people outside your household, as we learned last week that even a family receiving charity has to itself give at least a token amount to charity.

Gabriella Hoffman's paycheck is a little lighter today, thanks to a payroll tax increase that is forcing millions of Americans to make the kind of tough budget cuts their representatives in Washington lawmakers seem unwilling to tackle.
Hoffman, a 21-year-old Virginian who works at a nonprofit, estimates her paycheck will be roughly $30 less this biweekly pay period, or about $780 annually, thanks to the end of a two-year cut on payroll taxes, which fund Social Security. The tax has risen back up to 6.2 percent from 4.2 percent, costing someone making $50,000 annually about $1,000 per year and a household with two high-paid workers up to $4,500.
"As a newly-graduated person, someone coming straight out of college, I don't like the idea of having less money coming to me due to the selfish interests of people in Congress who don't have any interest in reducing our financial problems," Hoffman told FoxNews.com. "This is an impediment for future economic growth. It's going to make it harder for young people like myself to get married, find a better job, you name it."
Hoffman admits the hike won't completely alter her spending, but the University of California-San Diego graduate said she will definitely have it in mind when it comes to leisure activities and entertainment.
"Although it's a small quantity on a monthly basis, just having less money going into my paycheck will prevent me from doing things and force me to be more frugal," she said. "I'll be more cautious with my spending."

FAO Schwarz Display
Have you ever seen those amazing displays at toy stores that just make a child's eyes light up as they witness pure magic as toys flutter around like butterflies dancing in the wind? Me neither. But I have seen some interesting toy displays in my day, and I was quite excited when LEGO asked myself, along with fellow builders Dan and Sean, to build a large LEGO city display in FAO Schwarz.
This was a special project for me because growing up, I often created big LEGO cities in my parent's living room. I think it was also special for my parents because this particular LEGO city was NOT in their living room.
We worked tirelessly over several days creating a ginormous cityscape full of hundreds of LEGO people. I even included some of the original LEGO people I played with when I was five years old. So that means there are LEGO people in the display that are like, uh, almost twelve years old.
The LEGO City is on display at FAO Schwarz in New York City in the LEGO section on the second floor. The candy section is on the ground floor. I like Sweet Tarts.

Abstract: Investigation of the roots of Ceriops tagal led to the isolation of a new isopimarane, together with the known diterpenes isopimar-8(14)-en-15,16-diol and erythroxyl-4(17),15(16)-dien-3-one. The structure of the new compound was identified as isopimar-8(14)-en-16-hydroxy-15-one. These structures were determined from extensive spectroscopic data analysis. The isolates were screened for antibacterial activity using the agar dilution method against ten test bacterial strains (Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Micrococcus kristinae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella pooni, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis and Streptococcus pyrogens). Isopimar-8(14)-en-16-hydroxy-15-one exhibited activity, with MIC values of 0.5 mg/mL against Streptococcus pyrogens; 0.25 mg/mL against Salmonella pooni and 0.1 mg/mL against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus kristinae.

Abstract: From the stem wood of Erythrina latissima, two isoflavones and a flavanone were isolated and characterized as 7,3'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-5'-(y,y-dimethylallyl)isoflavone (erylatissin A), 7,3'-dihydroxy-6".6"-dimethyl-4".5"-dehydropyrano [2",3":4'.5']isoflavone (erylatissin B), (-)-7,3'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-5'-(y,y-dimethylallyl)flavanone (erylatissin C), respectively, in addition to 10 known flavonoids. Structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic data. These compounds showed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Candida mycoderma. The isolated compounds also exhibited weak radical scavenging properties towards DPPH radical. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/216 Files in this item: 2

Can you match ribbons to causes they represent?
POSTED: 8:49 AM Feb 22 2013
UPDATED: 1:00 AM Feb 27 2013
Ribbons have become so synonymous with raising awareness that seeing a ribbon pinned to someone's lapel no longer prompts questions about what the ribbon is for, but rather what its color represents. See how many causes you can match with their ribbons.

After I turn on my computer, the my monitor goes black after about a minute or so of being on. Is does this in BIOS, in Windows and everything else in between and I can't figure out what's causing it.
I would think the issue is in the monitor. I would try using a different screen and see if it does the same thing.
So the monitor is ON?? or does it go to power saving mode??? If it goes to power saving mode then try removing CMOS battery and put it back(or replace it)... if it still gives the same problem try using different PSU(this problem is most likely to be PSUs fault) But if Monitor is ON and screen is black..... 1) Switch OFF PSU (If it has a switch) 2) Hold your CPU Power ON Button for about 30secs to 2 mins.... 3) Switch ON PSU 4) Start PC.. if it still has a problem repeat excluding Steps 1 & 3.... In any case if problem persists then replace your PSU.... Hope it helps...
Did you try a different monitor, like sneekypeet suggested? Which monitor? Also, go into the monitor menu and turn off any sleep or power saving modes. If it does not have those options, then try a reset defaults option.
I don't think replacing the PSU would help with his problem. It's most likely related to the GPU or the monitor itself. jelly, do you have an spare GPU? or another PC to test it with? does the monitor displays any message? what happens if you turn it on without the DVI cable connected?
I was suggesting it if his Monitor enters Power saving mode.... I had that problem ... everytime i switched ON my pc my monitor would go to power saving mode... I replaced PSU and my sys has worked fine ever since... But you are correct if CPU is working and monitor is not it is the problem of GPU or monitor
Try swapping your card with another probably your friend's and see if the problem persists..... If it does try your GPU on another PC... This will show you if your GPU is at fault or MOBO.... Also try different cable.... it could be at fault..
Are you running the 550 ti's in your System Specs? If so test them individually. Possibly isolate if it is one card or the other.
Is your cooler/water block too tight? Sometimes this causes issues on X58 boards iirc or have you tried the video card in another PCIE slot?
I moved the card to 2 different slots 2 days ago with the same result. My cooler has been installed the same way for about 9 months now, so I really doubt that has anything to do with it.
Perhaps you need to service the GFX card? Clean and apply fresh TIM, I'd clean the contacts with some alcohol as well. Good luck!
I just cleaned the GPU and reapplied TIM but that didn't work. I also tried running it with the motherboard laying flat but that didn't help either. I'm going to try a friends GPU next.
All I could find was an old computer with an x1600..that power supply couldn't handle my card. I put the x1600 in and the computer blanked the screen out so it's not the video card. I'm guessing my motherboard is done.
Damn...Tried resetting the CMOS as a last resort? The board certainly doesn't have a lack of PCI-E slots to try I guess it's past the point of RMA?
Yea, I tried resetting the CMOS one more time and still no luck. The motherboard no longer has any warranty left.
