Eutelsat CEO Discusses CIC Investment, GE-23 Acquisition, Ambitions in Asia
[Satellite News 06-28-12] Eutelsat has certainly been in the news with announcements late last week that China Investment Corp. (CIC) had reached agreement to buy a 7 percent stake in the company from Spanish company, Abertis.
If that wasn't enough, Eutelsat's ambitions in Asia took a massive step forward when the operator acquired the GE-23 satellite, associated customer contracts and orbital rights from GE Capital for $228 million. The move makes Eutelsat a much stronger player in some of Asia's lucrative Far East markets. In his first interview since the GE-23 deal was announced, Eutelsat CEO Michel de Rosen spoke with Satellite News about how these latest developments would affect the company's future.
Satellite News: Will the recent deal between China Investment Corp. (CIC) and Abertis impact Eutelsat's strategy?
de Rosen: We were informed last week that Abertis decided to sell 7 percent of its stake in Eutelsat to CIC. This represents approximately half of the investment that it had retained in Eutelsat following the sale in January of 16 percent of its stock. I believe there was no surprise to see Abertis reduce its stake. What does this change for Eutelsat? Nothing from a strategic, management or governance perspective as CIC is a passive investor that will not be joining the board. They, like all other shareholders, will not influence the operations of the company and will simply have access to the financial information that we disclose as a publicly quoted group. In terms of strategy, we have a clearly identified roadmap proposed by the management team and validated by the board. As you know, growing our presence in Asia was one of our objectives going forward because it is a region with promising potential for growth. This has been a long-term goal and we will continue to work on it in the years to come. In short, we are running the company today as we were before the Abertis transaction and will continue to do so going forward.
SATELLITE NEWS: Could CIC's investment in theory help you in China?
de Rosen: We have shareholders from all over the world, some of whom have shared their views on their markets. We are always ready to listen.
SATELLITE NEWS: Could you tell us about the significance of the deal with GE? How did this deal come about?
de Rosen: For many years, we have expressed our interest in increasing our presence in the fastest growing markets in our industry. We have a strong presence in what we call the 'second continent' — Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa — and this gives us growth potential for many years to come. We have also said we would like to increase our presence beyond the Middle East and Central Asia into Far East Asia and also to Latin America in a way that doesn't sacrifice our focus on shareholder value and profitability. It is not growth at any cost.
With this mindset, you sometimes have to refuse opportunities and we have refused some both in recent and less recent times. We were, however, immediately interested by the GE-23 opportunity as we see this asset as a good fit for our objectives to grow in Asia. It will complement Eutelsat 70B, to be launched later this year, in the Asia Pacific region and is a flexible satellite in good technical shape. The transaction also includes the business as well as the 172 degrees East position. From a business perspective, we were interested for all of these reasons. We presented our offer, became the finalist, did our due diligence and negotiated a deal. The final agreement was on good terms for Eutelsat and is expected to be accretive to EBITDA margin and EPS in year one. Now we are working on the closing, which I hope we will complete in the third quarter this year, and on integrating the satellite into our fleet, at which point it will be called Eutelsat 172A, with a smooth transition for all customers.
SATELLITE NEWS: Which markets do you see the growth coming from for Eutelsat in Asia?
de Rosen: We believe that the Asian market will grow in the three businesses that make up our portfolio. There will be continued growth in DTH, growth in data and broadband and growth of government services. GE-23 already has a presence in data and broadband as well as government services. The GE-23 team is an excellent one with a proven track record of attracting business and we hope they will be interested to join us and reinforce our overall effort in the Asian market. They will help us work on opportunities for further growth including in DTH, which remains and will remain the number one opportunity of new business in Asia for many years.
SATELLITE NEWS: Is there a Ka-band opportunity for Eutelsat in Asia?
de Rosen: We are not currently working on a plan for a Ka-band initiative in Asia, however, we do believe that Ka-band has a future worldwide. If we think long-term, most operators will have to use Ka-band, as C-band will become more and more congested, and because the path to grow in Ku-band is limited. So, long term, there is a future for Ka-band across the world.
SATELLITE NEWS: You have made bold moves this year in Brazil and now in Asia. Has this strategy become your blueprint for the company?
de Rosen: During our first interview in 2009, I said that it is not my goal to do things differently from my predecessor — it is to do as well as my predecessor. Secondly, companies move in an environment that is constantly evolving. You can't do everything at the same time but if you do nothing, you die. In this context, Eutelsat in the 1990s was smart enough to identify emerging markets as a potential source of growth. We saw the opportunities before others even though some said that it was risky. In that sense, we are continuing a trend, which is to pursue expansion to two very promising regions: Asia and Latin America. By doing this, I believe we are doing it in a way that combines energy and wisdom. If you are overly energetic, you risk making mistakes and overspending. If you are over-wise, you procrastinate and do nothing. I can tell you, since I joined the company we have been working hard on ways to develop the Latin American market and increase our presence in the Far East. I don't see these moves as bold, but I see them as important for Eutelsat. I think they are well-thought, good moves that also respect our goals of shareholder value. In parallel, there has been continued investment in new satellites for our historic markets. What it really means is that this is not a revolution of Eutelsat's strategy. The focus on DTH, data and broadband and multi-usage is here to stay, as is our focus on organic growth. We continue to look for the optimal balance between growth and profitability.

"Because the promoter said it was going to be a good fight and you should pay for it."
Thats why I said, these boxing fans are sick in the head, they boo a technical 12 rounds of boxing. And boo and jeer when a fighter is seriously hurt. Like Harrison vs Price.
Eddie Hearn must be rubbing his hands at home sat in front of a blazing log fire chuckling to himself and counting his notes. Its so easy.
I remember the Mayweather - Hatton fight, ****ed up casual fans - "Hatton will smash him all over" in slurred speech. How embarrassing. I feel sorry for these people. They just cant see the light even if it slapped them in the face.
The other side just doesnt exist to these people, a different reality, the reason for that is because they dont want to believe it exists. A nation living in fear! They are afraid of the truth and the truth about them and their own ways. They know they wont like what they see, its ugly and scary, so they try to avoid it all their sad sold out meaningless unimportant self centered self appointed self important selfish lives.
I actually totally agree with you, I just gave up getting annoyed with it a long time ago, far too many morons for any one person to make a difference in this regard I'm afraid.

Because of the reviews claiming this was broken, I didn't expect it to work, but I've used it to run a key giveaway successfully on a live site already and am really happy -- it saved me money from having someone code one for me. Note that I have been using the tickboxes for IP lock but NOT restricting it to logged in users. I would love to see the admin icon/menu prettified and streamlined.
Do not work, it reports "no more keys left" for all cases.
tested in Multisite.
It needs more improvements, is also glitchi and everyone can abuse me ... i would realy love to use it becouse i need it so mutch but i cant ... bcz of this!
well for me it wont save kays for some reson...anyone know how to fix it pls :/
Although this plugin does what it says it does, it is vulnerable. I started a giveaway with 500 keys, and 400 of these keys were suddenly snatched by one person with the same IP address. Yes, I didn't limit it to one IP address, but it should still be limited to one key per user ID.
I'm not sure if they were intentionally stolen or if it's a bug with the plugin, but it's making it unusable in its current condition.
Does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Yes, WP Open Graph makes a conflict with All-in-One Event Calendar by Timely. What breaks when both are activated is that you are unable to add events in you calendar the "Add Events" page is not active at all.
I hope you will be able to resolve the problem in future. :)

This was a replacement cook top for the same GE Profile series cook top that was 11 years old and parts were not made anymore. This cook top is a better performer than the last cook top. I just hope there will be parts for it in the next 11 years!!!

I'm looking for a solution that make it possible to make a flash drive which protects the data from being copied so that the data is data could be "played" only The main aim for the flash drive is to be used for playing video files on TV sets that uses flash drives as data input or if stream is an option this might be nice.
It is not possible to completely protect media on a standard PC. The data needs to be read and temporarily live on the PC in unencrypted form in some fashion for the PC to display the video. So there will always be some way on a standard PC to snatch that data.
You never know, PCs of the future may be controlled by a "security hypervisor" with manufactuer and plaform specific sealed keys and will then be able to support almost-truly secure media delivery. It isn't today by any means.
However, if you uniquely watermark your media, with a unique watermark per user, then if illicit copies surface you know who to blame.
Towards the specifics of your question, I don't know of any TVs that support what you are trying to do. If there are, you might look on the manufactuer's website for a tool to create such media, when/if this exists, it's probably going to be expensive.
You may find this an interesting read. The original Xbox by Microsoft was pretty much based on the PC architecture. This was done to save on development costs. Microsoft took measures to secure games and media on the platform but failed. Microsoft has had much better (but not total) success in security with the non-PC-based Xbox 360.
No, sorry. If you can put it on the flash drive initially then it can be copied.
If it could be done don't you think that the RIAA and other extremists would have done it to stop fair use or ahem piracy?
The usual way to protect your copyrighted stuff is to legally register the material for copyright protection.
It is possible that you could use hardware encryption/decryption but that would make it slow and difficult for most people to afford to view.
Disney was playing with a self destructing media. You open the package, and the disk will only play up to 3 days before disintegrating. But that would not stop copying.
People have the right to make backup copies. This is built into the system under fair use. Let's say you bought a movie on DVD and it got scratched and wouldn't play again. Should you be forced to buy another one when you could just burn the backup to a new disk and continue?
Let's say that DVD was Snow White (Disney). And they do not release it but every 20 years or so. So you must wait 20 more years to replace your scratched disk? That would be unreasonable.
What you are trying to do is exactly what I described that should not be done - prevent copying.
IMHO I think that copyrights go too far. They should expire 3 days after inception or registration, whichever is shorter. Patents too.
Progress is being stifled at an alarming rate.
Just think how much further technically and medically we would be if greed was eliminated from the world? Greed meaning unreasonable and lengthy legal protections.
We probably would have cures for a great many things...

On Saturday, the 6-6, 265-pound Smith was a special guest at the Greencastle Music Festival, appearing at the Swizzle Stick earlier in the day to have lunch with the DePauw University baseball team and on the square later to sign autographs.
The 54-year-old Smith, who once held the major league baseball career saves record for 13 years (until 2006) after his retirement with 478, shared stories about his 18-year MLB career.
"Your career goes by so fast," Smith said.
"The main thing is for you to remember where you come from and who you're representing," he said. "You're not only playing for yourself, you're representing your school and your family and your friends."
Probably best remembered as the closer on the Chicago Cub teams of the 1980s, Smith met Almost Home/Swizzle Stick owner Gail Smith during one of her visits to the annual Cubs' Convention and his Saturday appearance in Greencastle was sponsored by Headley Hardware.
While Smith was once baseball's career saves leader, he hasn't even come close to the ultimate reward of election to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
Asked what was wrong with Hall of Fame voters, he responded politely but sternly, "If you find out, let me know."
Besides his impressive saves numbers, Smith stands third all-time in appearances with 1,022 games pitched and holds the record for games finished at 802.
Smith has been on the Hall of Fame ballot nine times, receiving at most 47 percent of the vote (75 percent is required for election).
"I guess they think the relief pitching thing is easy," Smith said of the baseball writers who vote on Hall of Fame selection. "I don't like to compare stats, but you can look at the numbers."
While today's closers often enter the game to start the ninth inning and record a three-out save, Smith pitched in an era in which he often pitched more than an inning. In fact, he even pitched three innings in an All-Star Game, getting the win when the National League won in extras.
"It was harder to close back then," he said. "I actually pitched in tight games. I pitched in games where we were losing in the seventh inning (but Cubs' coaches wanted to keep the game close with a chance to win at the end).
"And I would love to know why (then-Cub manager) Jim Frey thought I could only pitch with a guy on second base and a one-run lead."
It was also Frey who traded Smith from Chicago to the Boston Red Sox after the 1987 season in one of the worst deals in Cubs' history. He received the never-popular Al Nipper and Calvin Schiraldi in exchange for Smith, who would go on to record nearly 300 more saves after being traded by the Cubs.
When Smith later returned to Wrigley Field as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals, he saved three games in a four-game series and can still hear the disgust in Cub announcer Harry Caray's voice ringing in this ears.
"Harry said they 'traded a Clydesdale and got two Shetland ponies,'" Smith smiled. "I liked that."
Currently he has been a roving pitching coach for the San Francisco Giants the past 13 years, but seeing him in a Giant cap Saturday was a little disconcerting.
"I had to have something to keep the sun out of my eyes," he explained as mostly Cubs' and Cardinals' fans filed past for autographs.
Smith remains a Cub legend and favorite as part of the 1984 team that was one win away from bringing a World Series to the North Side of Chicago for the first time since 1945.
He was on the mound in game four of that series with San Diego, which the Cubs led two games to none when they left Wrigley Field. Steve Garvey hit a walk-off homer off Smith that night, undoubtedly the reliever's least-favorite moment on the diamond as highlights of Garvey pumping his popeye arms in celebration while rounding the bases still get airtime to this day.
"We were pretty comfortable with that lead," Smith said of the Cubs leaving Chicago up 2-0 and needing one win to move on to face the Yankees.
"What people forget is that last game was supposed to be at Wrigley," Smith noted.
But because Wrigley still had no lights (not until August 1988), and baseball wanted prime-time TV exposure, the deciding fifth game stayed in San Diego.
The Cubs led in the seventh inning but lost on a Padre rally off pitcher Rick Sutcliffe.
"That home-field advantage would have meant a lot to us," Smith said. "You look at those two teams, and we had the better ballclub, I don't think there's any question. But in baseball, sometimes those things just don't work out."

Words of wisdom from Roger Sterling? We're in. As fans of Mad Men will now, Sterling was working on his book — Sterling's Gold ($12) — during the last season, filling it with observations on life, business, women, success, drinking, and even New York City, all with Sterling's signature wit. [via]
Who better to discuss the fragile nature of human life than a member of the undead? While he might not be a literal zombie, Life by Keith Richards ($16) only reaffirms the notion that he's done enough drugs over his 60+ years to preserve himself long into the afterlife. Covering ground from his childhood and first musical interests through becoming a Rolling Stone, tax exile, husband, father, and eventually big-screen pirate, Life has more insight to offer than you might think.

Thank you very much for this great plugin Otto, I've been using it since the first time I install my blog sariyanta.com. However, I am facing a bit of a problem displaying the comment box after clicking the like button. I don't know how to explain it well because I have a limited English vocabulary. So I post image here to make it clear for you to give me direction on how to solve this.
One more thing, when I publish a post, it automatically post to my facebook profile. I like that, but the thumbnail on facebook is not what it supposed to be.
any lead will be more than appreciated, thank you very much

I am trying to download a .csv file into an array and then parse each column line-by-line with Text::CSV. I have the following:
my @file = get("http://www.someCSV.com/file.csv") or warn $!;
my $CSV = Text::CSV->new();
$CSV->sep_char (',');
for ( @file ) {
$CSV->parse($_) or warn $!;
my @columns = $CSV->fields();
print $columns[0] . "\n";
Rather than downloading the file, saving it and then slurping it into a filehandle, I thought it would be more efficient to just put the CSV file into an array and parse from there. However, the above code doesn't work and I don't understand why. I get "Warning: something's wrong at test.pl"; not very helpful, to say the least.
This is more for learning. I don't have to do it this way but it's just bugging me why I'm not able to use Text::CSV with an array.

Crazy how this group offers me sanity and sadness
Comments (8)
Yes, I too hate how some guys try to weasle their way out of a pregnancy by saying either "its not mine" or "I want a paternity test before I do anything." If a man has sex with a woman, he should be willing to do anything for her...I have seriously come to believe that, and I intend on taking my time with the next guy I consider to be sure that he is the right kind of man for me...
Oh, your baby is going to be so wonderful you won't give him a second thought!
Have fun!
36, Single PhD momma to Tessa born 10/07/2010 on her great-gramma's birthday.
I've never had either one of my kids fathers deny paternity... but I almost wish I had! It would have been so much easier to start out without them in the picture at all. Do what you feel that you need to do, but take small blessings where you find them!
The baby part is the fun part. Babies don't cause drama, baby daddies do that. Good luck!
2 kids, 1 mom Single Mom + Dating = Suck
Yup- this board was/is my saving grace. It is a lonely road to travel when BD walks away...but this board helped me during my darkest hours when I realized there are others out there going through what I was going through. It gave me strength when I felt like I couldn't go on. The pregnancy hormones also didn't help make it any easier...but we all survive and the babies change our lives for the better! I wouldn't give my DS' up for anything in the world!
Even now, 2+ years later, I still hurt for my DS. But the good thing, which you will hear repeated on this board is that it does get better, it truly does. You eventually learn to forgive yourself for being so naive, for not having the foresight to see that BD was going to walk away and holding on for the one that will be a father to his baby and a husband to you. You realize that you are stronger than you gave yourself credit for.
Don't let BD rob you the joy of being pregnant. Enjoy it while it lasts and do whats best for you and your baby.
If he has fears about having a child what must it be like for you ha ha Yes he should grow up and take responsability but like most so called dads who cant step up and be counted he is one of them and the more he thinks he is right the better it is for you and your child Yes your child and no matter what he says like if its mine he really needs to grow up and as you said you dont need the grief you deserve better Best Wishes

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
You can virtually force one version or the other by context:
Are you Americans or Canadians? ...
Are you Canadian? ...
I don't think RyeɃreḁd's answer will really stand much scrutiny, though doubtless there are factors nudging one's choice one way or the other. And it is a choice:
'American' here is a (proper) adjective; compare 'We are cold'. It has no 'plural form'.
'Americans' and 'American' here are proper nouns; compare 'We are doctors'.
An Ngram shows that both constructions are commonly used. But you wouldn't get many Brits, standing in a defined group of people or otherwise, volunteering 'We are Britons' / 'Englishmen'. 'We are British' / 'English' is the far more usual way of putting this (as further Ngrams illustrate).
You would say "We are Americans" if you are standing in a defined group of people (can be counted) and talking about your group as individuals.
You would say "We are American" if talking about an abstract uncountable population or a group of people that will stay grouped.

LIPSCOMB - A man indicted on an escape charge from Lipscomb County Jail awaits extradition from the Kansas jail currently holding him.
Ivor Debusk, 21, of Lucas, Kan., was indicted Feb. 8 by a Lipscomb County grand jury for escape, a third-degree felony, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, a state jail felony, according to Lipscomb Sheriff James Robertson.
On Dec. 12, Debusk allegedly walked off a work detail and drove off in a sheriff's department Chevy Blazer. He was captured Dec. 13 in Ellinwood, Kan., 10 miles east of Great Bend, Kan., by Ellinwood police officers as Debusk was emerging from the residence of a family member.

One thing that strikes me as odd about Alex is that neither the GFDL nor the HWRF have been intensifying the storm into a hurricane in the past few model runs. This is intriguing because Alex is already a strong tropical storm. It will bear watching to see if GFDL/HWRF continue this pattern for future storms.
I guess they were based on the ground-breaking "hide" the [decline|incline] statistical methods pioneered by East Anglia. ;)

Curt (Chris Hemsworth) plans on taking his girlfriend Jules (Anna Hutchison) and his friends to his cousin's cabin. There's the new recruit to the football team Holden (Jesse Williams), the paranoid stoner Marty (Fran Kranz), and Jules friend Dana (Kristen Connolly) who is kind of on the fence of whether or not she'll enjoy herself on the trip. Everything seems to be progressing in typical horror movie fashion even up to the cellar door slamming open in the middle of their festivities. But something more sinister is going on; something that will put the lives of these five friends on the line.
The Cabin in the Woods is a horror film that is incredibly special. If you're a fan of anything by Joss Whedon and/or Drew Goddard, then you should have a small idea of what you're in for. The entire film can be spoiled in as little as one sentence or even a few words, so don't let anyone spoil it for you. The humor is sharp witted much like most of Whedon's work.Read more ›
The film begins with two opposing and intertwined storylines. One is the oldest cliché in the world - 5 attractive college students decide to head off to a cabin in the woods for a weekend of fun, sex, and substance abuse. It's a surprise to no one that terror, bloodletting, and death await them. But there's another storyline happening; where a group of corporate drones are watching the youngsters on TV screens, anticipating their actions as if they're producers making a reality show. If that were the case, then the film would hardly be fresh and original. Tying reality TV to horror has been done many times in recent years. So what, exactly, is really going on with the workers watching the kids, and why does their fate alternately amuse, entertain, and terrify them?
To give anything else away would be a crime, because the best thing about this film is its unpredictability. If you think you know what's coming ... you don't. Lots of films and television shows try so hard to shock, titillate, or surprise their audience that the tactics just come across as empty and manipulative, but "The Cabin in the Woods" has genuinely new, fresh ideas that it executes expertly.
I will give one thing away ... the ending of this film offers no possibility for a sequel. So as an added bonus, fans of the film won't have to watch a fresh, original piece of filmmaking turn into a redundant franchise.
Of course, we all know the genre of movies that involve a cabin in the woods (or other appropriately desolate place). Let's get a car full of kids, strand them, and then start picking them off in increasingly creative ways. At the start, that's exactly the scenario that "The Cabin in the Woods" sets up. We meet five standard character archetypes for these type of films: the jock (Chris Hemsworth), the stoner (Fran Kranz), the good girl (Kristen Connolly), the vixen (Anna Hutchison) , and the scholar (Jesse Williams). After a brief bit of character introduction, we're off to the woods. As they settle in, each rises to their individual stereotype.Read more ›

Warwickshire book Lord's berth
A late blast from Darren Maddy charged Warwickshire Bears to a four-wicket win over Yorkshire Carnegie and booked them a place against Somerset Sabres in next Saturday's Clydesdale Bank 40 final at Lord's.
With the Bears left needing 23 from the last three overs, it seemed a tense finale was in the offing.
However, Maddy kept his cool and hit a couple of lusty blows to lead his side to victory with an unbeaten 34.
Defeat was a bitter blow for skipper Andrew Gale and his Yorkshire side after another great century from Jacques Rudolph.
However, they have the opportunity to make amends by lifting the LV= County Championship title in the final round of matches next week.
Chasing a revised target of 260 in 37 overs under the Duckworth-Lewis method, Warwickshire were well in control until they slid from 203 for two to 216 for five.
The last three overs arrived with Warwickshire still requiring 23 to win.
But the issue was effectively settled by Maddy, who lashed Steve Patterson for consecutive sixes over midwicket and long-leg.
Rikki Clarke was bowled two balls later but the pressure was now off and two fours for Maddy off Anthony McGrath in the penultimate over saw the Bears home with seven balls remaining.
Maddy's effort spanned just 19 deliveries, including three fours and two sixes, but its importance can not be underestimated.
Prior to his efforts, the stage the set by Warwickshire's top four, all of whom made significant contributions.
In pursuit of the reduced target, Neil Carter and Varun Chopra lashed 65 from the first seven overs, before the former was lbw to Ben Sanderson for 40.
However, Yorkshire were unable to put their opponents under any real pressure thereafter.
Keith Barker, surviving two difficult chances to Gale, struck 34 in a 52-run stand with Chopra and was then well caught by wicketkeeper Gerard Brophy.
That dismissal only brought in a determined Ian Bell to the crease, though, and the England man proceeded to dominate a fourth-wicket partnership of 86 with Chopra.
He dashed to a 49-ball 57 with four fours and three sixes when he was superbly caught on the boundary by Jonathan Bairstow, before Adil Rashid claimed another wicket in the same over by having Jim Troughton caught at long-off.
Chopra's fine innings ended when he drove Patterson to McGrath at mid-off for 76 from 81 balls, including five fours and a six, but the mounting excitement of the Yorkshire fans
was soon quelled by Maddy.
A short delay to the start made it a 39-overs-a-side match and a total of four more overs were lost for a break during the Yorkshire innings which was given a positive start by Gale and Rudolph.
Once the early overs from Carter and Chris Woakes had been safely negotiated, the pair flourished and each took a six off Woakes as the stand built up to 73 in 12 overs.
Skipper Gale then drove Barker to Clarke at long-on, signalling a lean spell in which Adam Lyth was dismissed by Ant Botha and McGrath was caught behind of Imran Tahir.
However, either side of their departures Rudolph moved to a 46-ball half-century with five fours and a six.
After Yorkshire had gone 13 overs without a boundary, Brophy ended the drought by planting the last ball of Botha's spell into the crowd.
That proved the start of a furious assault by the wicketkeeper-batsman as he dominated a 99-run stand in 12 overs with Rudolph, who calmly worked his way towards his fourth CB40 century of the season.
Brophy had dashed to 64 from 46 balls with four fours and four sixes when Barker had him caught at long-off by Troughton to make it 212 for three with a little over three overs remaining.
But Bairstow made sure Yorkshire finished with a flourish as he thrashed an unbeaten 26 from nine deliveries with two fours and two sixes.
The biggest cheer was reserved for Rudolph when he cut Barker to move to his century off 93 balls.
He fell for 106 to the last ball of the innings bravely attempting to complete a second run off Bairstow's stroke.

Pretty good quality, apron has some loose edges, but easily trimmed off. I'm a size 10/12 a little big but easily pulled in by apron ties. Not sure it would fit a true size 16 though. All in all, great, fun outfit.

Big Bucks for Big Owners
SL Green Realty Corp. SLG -0.06 % , the largest owner of Manhattan office buildings, has taken heat for its generous levels of executive compensation, but it isn't backing down. The company's total compensation in 2011 for its five top honchos inched up across the board, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
$14.7 Million
Total 2011 compensation for SL Green Chief Executive Marc Holliday
Marc Holliday, the CEO, took home $7.55 million in "total direct compensation" including salary and bonus. When other compensation is added in—such as the value of multiyear awards under the company's 2011 "Outperformance Plan" and 2010 "Notional Unit Plan" the total for the year comes to $14.7 million, up from $13.9 million in 2010.
Andrew Mathias, SL Green's president, took home $5.5 million in direct compensation, up from $5.2 million in 2010. His total compensation, including such things as multiyear awards, rose to $10.6 million, up from $8.6 million in 2010.
Last year, Green Street Advisors said SL Green is just one of three real-estate investment trusts that have paid their top five executives over $100 million in the past three years. "SLG's comp is consistently 'off-the-charts' high vs. performance," the firm said in a March report on the office sector.
One reason that Mr. Mathias's total compensation rose so sharply in 2011 is that the company is required to report some multiyear compensation as if it were paid in one year. And defenders of SL Green's compensation have noted that some grants are counted as compensation paid even if they depend on difficult objectives to be met. SL Green is based in New York City, meaning it must compete with high-paying financial services companies. Mr. Holliday's base salary was increased from $725,000 in 2010 to $1 million in 2011 to better align it "with the prevailing competitive market," the SEC filing states.
Vornado Realty Trust, VNO -0.10 % also based in New York, has cut down its compensation levels in recent years: Both Chairman Steven Roth and Michael Fascitelli, the president and chief executive, took in just over $7.46 million of total compensation this year, in both cases down from $9.66 million in 2009.
A SL Green spokesman said: "SL Green delivered 171 percent total return to shareholders for the three year period ending Dec. 31, 2011. Executive compensation is based on that superior performance."

Very cozy and comfortable !
The location is perfect and the apartment is very clean with all the necessary services
The apartment was perfect, Klara welcomed us and help us with everything we needed. She was really nice. The location of the apartment is perfect, all the tourist places are very close and you have a lot of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. The apartment was really clean and had everything we needed.
We can highly recommend Erika's place! The spot is perfect, direct in the city center at the most important stop for all public transport! The apartment was very good, more than enough space for three persons, very tidy and everything there you need.
We stayed in Erika's apartment for six days at the begging of November and we are very thankful to her for this opportunity. The apartment was very nice, very cosy, very clean with all needed equipment and perfectly located. It was very easy to get to all the main sight-seeings. You really feel that you live in the heart of Budapest. We couldn't wish for a better location. We also asked Erika to organize transfer for us from the airport and back and it was absolutely perfect. Klara, who met us in the apartment, was very nice and friendly, and it was a pleasure to communicate with her. We spent wonderful time in Budapest and really fall in love with the city.
We would like to thank Erika and Klara once again and would surely recommend this apartment to our friends.
Best regards
Marina, Julia, Anna and Alexandra
Our stay was very comfortable and pleasant. The apartment was very clean and Erika made sure we had more than enough towels, linen and tea/coffee for 4 people. The location was very good, in the city centre and close to all tourist sights, however it could be a little bit noisy at night during the weekend. But I would still highly recommend it. We had a great time.
We have had a wonderful visiting in Budapest. Our department by Erika was nice and clean. Klara was very helpfull.And also our taxi-lady Maria was very helpfull and kind. As a nordick passenger we hoped for possibility to make coffe.. not only espresso (our day begins whith a large cup of coffe :) ).A street was a litle bit noise.
We can absolutely recommend Erika`s department to our friends.
Marvellous city and fantastic accomodation, just in the best place to visit comforetably the most interesting places inBudapest.
I highly recommend Erika's apartment! It is small but really practical, it is situated in a extraordinary place for taking the metro or for walking around the city centre. When we arrived it was very clean an tidy. Erika has been quite attentive since the first moment I booked, answering every question I made her. And Klara was really kind, giving us so much tourist info! If I ever came back to Budapest, I'll go to Erika's apartment again!
The appartment is perfectly situated between the Stefanus Dome and the Great Jewish synagoge. A lot of bars and restaurants are nearby. In the evening the nnoise on the street can be loud because of the evening life in bars, but this is part of hiring an appartment in a big city. Budapest is a beautiful city, and easy to explore by walking. The appartment has a perfect value for money. A small but well furnished kitchen. All was clean and the communication with Erika and Klara was perfect. I would recommend this appartment to everybody. Best regards Jos Geenen
