Business Matters: Live Nation, Ticket Pricing, Radio Royalties and more
-- "When 40% of tickets across the industry are going unsold, you have to have an honest talk about ticket prices," says Jason Garner of Live Nation in an article at the Wall Street Journal. It's the latest – and one of the longest – articles to examine the causes behind this summer's spate of concert cancellations and poor ticket sales.
On the same day, Live Nation announced it would drop service fees in an effort to lower prices. "There is no interest in higher ticket prices or high charges," Paul Latham, Live Nation International's COO told BBC News. "We do want cheaper ticket prices which is why we're looking at advances in technology, print at home, ticketless events - all of these innovations will come about more quickly."
One thing is missing from all the discussion of this summer's concert season is how this summer's supply of concerts compares to previous years. We all know that numerous shows have been cancelled or rescheduled. And we know that some people feel the number of cancellations is abnormally high. But if falling recorded music revenues are causing more artists to hit the road, and consumers have to limit their spending by choosing between concerts, the result could be an oversupply of concerts – or at least concerts that are booked in too ambitious of venues. A saturated market could end up looking a lot like consumer indifference.
The Journal did point out one important fact: Some artists are touring on the same album for quite a few years. Time will tell, but it appears fans may want to know this year's concert will somehow be different than last year's concert even though there is no new material to play. (Wall Street Journal, BBC News)
-- A Thomas Weisel Partners analyst has lowered his target price for Live Nation to $17 from the $19.50 level set just three weeks ago. "Our new estimates are largely a result of the U2 tour postponement and we believe that some of the concerns over the amphitheater environment while valid are overblown," he wrote in a note to investors. This follows a lowered 12-month forecast by a Miller Tabac analyst two weeks ago, to $15 from $18. Miller Tabac reiterated its buy rating as well as its viewpoint that "the headlines have overly punished LYV shares." (Ticket News)
-- Sarah McLachlan on Lilith Fair 2010: "We're working really hard to keep our ticket prices really low so lots of people have an opportunity to come. Some people were complaining that there are $250 tickets. Yes, [some are] $250, and there's 9,000 that are $25. You know, for 11 acts and [a full day] of music, that's a pretty good ticket price. But people, you know, people are holding on to their money." (Metromix Denver)
-- Canada's Copyright Board will decide by the end of Friday if owners of sound recordings should receive royalties from radio stations. Records labels have argued they are due a royalty for the reproductions of digital files that are stored on radio stations' hard drives. They are seeking 4% of stations' gross annual revenues. (FYI Music)
-- Author Tony Woodlief penned an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal titled "Curse of the Greedy Copyright Holders." The short version: many copyright holders pursue "illusory" short-term profit at the expense of actual long-term profit and betterment of the arts. The piece is yet another in a long line of criticisms of copyright that toss out a few supposedly representative anecdotes without recommending a solution or two.
Woodlief believes the problem stems from the discretion given to copyright holders to charge for the use of their works. He gives the example of a record label (he probably meant music publisher since this deals with a composition) seeking $150 for every 7,500 copies of his book that contained an eight-word quote from a Joe Henry song. "I love Joe Henry," he writes, "but the price was too high. I replaced him with Shakespeare, whose work (depending on which edition you use) is in the public domain. Mr. Henry's record label may differ, but it's not clear that his interests —or theirs—are being served here. Were they concerned that readers might have their thirst for Mr. Henry's music sated by that single lyric?"
Other examples show that Woodlief chafes at copyright holders' ability to set prices for use of their works. He doesn't mention a solution, but it seems he might favor some sort of compulsory right – a government-mandated right to use a creative work with a mandated fee to go along with it. It's clear he doesn't feel the market is working well on its own.
Not that copyright is without need of change, but there are plenty of anecdotes that show market negotiations are not always characterized by the "greed" of copyright owners. Look no further than the use of music in television shows and commercials. Here, buyers negotiate with sellers for the use of songs. With demand for these placements high, it has become a buyer's market. Some copyright owners gladly take little in exchange for the awareness – and future revenue – they hope the spot will generate. It comes down to this important point: It's their right to accept low prices just as Joe Henry's publisher has the right to set high prices. (Wall Street Journal)

Genome sequencing and the identification of epigenetic marks by projects such as ENCODE and the Epigenomics Roadmap Project have transformed biomedical research. Technologies for targeted manipulation of these epigenetic properties are necessary to transform the knowledge gained from these projects into tangible scientific advances and benefits for human health, such as gene therapies that modify the epigenetic code at targeted regions of the genome and the engineering of epigenome-specific drug screening platforms. To address this technology gap, we are developing a suite of well-characterized tools for custom locus- and cell type-specific modification of any epigenomic property with precise spatiotemporal control. These tools consist of fusion proteins of programmable DNA-binding proteins and enzymes that control genome structure and function. These epigenetic modifiers (EGEMs) can be specifically targeted to nearly any site in the genome. Optimized EGEM designs will be tested on both proximal and distal regulatory elements that represent diverse chromatin states, including active, repressive, bivalent, and imprinted marks. The generality of EGEMs will be shown on additional high-value targets that have broad relevance to disease. Importantly, all of these tools function independent of cell- and species-type, and therefore are useful to all fields of biologic research. Comprehensive characterization of EGEM activity in human cells will be provided by targeted and genome-wide analysis of DNA-binding, chromatin structure, and gene regulation. A validated optogenetic approach for controlling protein localization with blue light will be used to achieve precise spatiotemporal control of EGEM activity. The utility of the tool set of epigenetic modifiers will b demonstrated by impacting gene regulation in a manner that is robust, specific, and heritable. We will test the working hypothesis that different genes will require a customized set of epigenetic modification(s) to achieve efficient changes in gene expression. The specificity and stability of epigenetic modifications will be of broad utility to the fields of genomics, epigenomis, imprinting, gene therapy, developmental biology, regenerative medicine, and drug development.
In addition to the sequence of the human genome, it has become clear that genome structure plays a critical role in health and disease. However, there are currently no tools to manipulate this genome structure in cells in a precise manner. As a result, it is not possible to reverse diseases or disorders related to genome structure or to perform experiments that increase our understanding of the role of genome structure in biological systems. In this proposal, we will develop tools for precisely modifying genome structure that will catalyze innovative advances in gene and cell therapy, drug development, and basic science.

I've had a Twitter account since the early days, but I haven't really used it all that much. I've tweeted occasionally and I've even set up several of my feeds to automatically tweet for me, but I never really got twittering. That is, until I got myself an iPod Touch. Now I can't stop Twittering and I'm seriously considering some type of 12 step program.
Unless you get Twitter it's kind of hard to explain, so I really won't try. Let me just say that it's about the community. It's about the interactions with others. It's about the dynamic of how you can twitter with your circle of friends and each member of your circle of friends can twitter with their circle of friends and there is very little, if any, overlap in those circles. It's mind-boggling when you think about it.
Here are three great tools that make twittering easier and more fun:
[NO LONGER WORKS] Hahlo (pronounced like "Hello", but with a serious Arnold Schwarzenegger accent.)
If you have an iPhone, or an iPod Touch, then Hahlo is a must.
I've [NO LONGER WORKS] jailbroken my phone and I've tried a couple of the available Twitter apps, Twinkle and MobileTwitter, but neither comes close to this Safari app.
Hahlo is a beautiful iPhone/iPod Touch interface built with the APIs from Twitter and Summize. You can see your Timeline with friends (same as Home/Recent on the Twitter page) or you can see your own tweets or all your replies.
It doesn't do a whole lot more than Twitter's own mobile page does, it's just a lot prettier and easier to use. When you click the TWEET button, a large easy-to-type-in window overlay appears and your iPod/iPhone keyboard pops up.
TweetLater. TweetLater does two things. It lets you schedule tweets to appear at a later date or time and it lets you automatically follow people who follow you. The scheduling is nice, but it's the auto-follow feature that really rocks. If you're going to really enjoy Twitter, you need to follow lots of people and have lots of people follow you. That's the whole point, after all (see above paragraph on getting it.) But, it gets tedious sometimes, having to go to the Twitter website every time you get an email saying you're being followed by someone.
There is a little bit of clunky set up involved to get the auto-follow working, but it's worth it. You must first configure Tweetlater to your needs and then set up a rule in your email program to forward all your "so-and-so is now following you on Twitter" emails to a special address, so they can deal with the nitty-gritty of going to the Twitter website and clicking follow for you.
Twitterfeed. I'm not going to say too much about this great twitter app, since Make Use Of did a full review on it a few months back. It allows you set up your blog, or any website that has an RSS feed, to automatically update Twitter for you. I love it, but you've got to be sure you don't auto-twitter too much, or you risk becoming a Twitter spammer.
If you'd like to follow me on Twitter, I'll follow you right back. But even better if you follow MakeUseOf.
How do you twitter? Do you know of any apps that make twittering easier and more fun? Let the twitterverse know in the comments.
I never tried TweetLater but I am using CoTweet.
CoTweet is more for business users who want to set up multiple twitter accounts. It is also integrated with bit.ly to automatically shorten any url in your tweets. This tool is very user-friendly but it would be nice if there are other handy tools that come with it.
I used autotweeter for my twitter automation.Its desktop based and small thing which sits on my system tray and does its job well.I love it.If any readers want it..here is the link
I would love to get your feedback on a new twitter service which automatically tweets relevant news (by keywords) or RSS feeds to your Twitter.
What do you think?
For example all tweets here are 100% keyword driven:
For Twitter automation i've got to say Twimbo from iq143.com was one of the easiest to set up and one of the more intelligent bots.
It only took a few minutes to set up and it's currently priced low for early adopters. My traffic has doubled since using it and I now have a great following on Twitter. I've even had new paying customers as a result! Winner.
I've been on twitter for about 4 months now and I am hooked. So much so, that we even created an integration with twitter for Treasurelicious.com. You can now leave comments about people's treasures via twitter.
It is hard to explain twitter to people, but once they get it, you cannot stop them.

Editorial: Local bans on pot sales violate spirit of initiative
The first three weeks of marijuana shopping in Colorado belie the freak-out occurring in some communities in Washington.
"No problems: All is relatively mellow as customers wait hours in long lines," said a headline in the Denver Post after the first day of sales. Colorado is the only other state to have legalized marijuana. Stores opened on New Year's Day.
Foes feared rampant public dope smoking, dangerous driving and national derision for the Rocky Mountain state. Instead, those worries went the way of Y2K, the millennial meltdown that never materialized. The mood was jovial and purchasers were well-behaved.
The most trenchant comment came from Mason Tvert, a spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project, who told the Post, "There are adults buying marijuana in every state today. The only one where it is legal is here."
It's unfortunate how many people lose sight of the fact that marijuana is going to be purchased regardless of its legal status. Yet city councils and county commissions in Washington are erecting bans on pot businesses before opening day, which could come as soon as May or June. The Yakima City Council did so on Tuesday. The Yakima County Commission appears ready to follow suit. Pierce County banned outlets in the unincorporated areas, and the Clark County Commission is considering copying that ordinance, which wouldn't allow for the sale of marijuana until the federal government makes it legal. Wenatchee is also among dozens of communities that have passed bans or moratoriums.
Last week, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson issued an opinion saying local bans were not a violation of Initiative 502. The issue will probably land in the courts. If bans are upheld, it would be a blow to the Liquor Control Board, which has been charged with implementing legal marijuana sales.
A consultant to the board had predicted legal pot would take 13 percent of the market initially, rising to 25 percent at year's end. The high taxes (25 percent at each stage of the process – production, processing and sales) will compel some buyers to stay in the black market. Local prohibitions will further enrich illegal dealers.
The Legislature is considering two bills to deal with this. One would withhold liquor-sale revenue from communities that ban pot. That's too harsh because much of that money finances worthwhile programs. Another bill, HB 2144, would set aside 30 percent of the state's proceeds from marijuana sales and send it to communities that are complying with the wishes of Initiative 502 voters. This is the more logical response to local bans, but it would require two-thirds majorities in each legislative body because it amends a recently passed initiative.
It would've been better if over-anxious community leaders had kicked back, watched events in Colorado and let this experiment unfold. Now, the state must find a way to keep this initiative on track.

The PLO leader Yasser Arafat's closest adviser speaks eloquently, fearfully, of this option. His remaining optimism is almost as brave as his ability to fear the worst.
Management consultant, publisher, philatelist, Mr Shaath is having to contemplate failure ever more frequently. "The peace process is in deep trouble," he says. "And if it collapses, what will happen?" You realise then that the PLO has been talking aboutjust such a possibility, that they have been staring into the darkness for the first time.
Last week's Arab-Israeli "summit of hope" in Cairo has not fooled the Palestinians. No date was set for long-postponed Palestinian elections on the West Bank, no date agreed for further Israeli "redeployment", no promises made of an end to Jewish settlement on Arab land. Mr Shaath's nimble mind has therefore been moving between the best and worst of all possible worlds, acknowledging failure and contemplating hope while excoriating those Palestinians who choose to oppose him.
"There are now three possible outcomes. The first is an alternative peace process in which we would go straight to the final settlement [talks on Jerusalem and Jewish settlements, the return of 1948 and 1967 Palestinian refugees], abandoning the interim settlement [elections and military withdrawals].
"So far, the interim process has failed. On both sides, it has failed," he says. "This interim stage was intended to improve the climate and build confidence between Palestinians and Israelis. But it is deepening the lack of confidence in the agreement
Sitting in his Cairo office Mr Shaath has rarely been so forthright. "The interim stage has not changed the image of Palestinians in Israeli eyes nor vice-versa. We were not able to give them more security. From their point of view, another Beit Lid [suicide bombing] will be the end of the road. From our point of view, more settlements are the end of the road. The idea of moving straight to permanent status discussions is gaining ground even in Israel."
The second option, Mr Shaath says, is "to live with closure, this wall of separation, for a while until something changes the balance of power, which means the Israelis will clamp down a new closure [on the West Bank and Gaza] until a new process has been found. We would have to build our relationships to Egypt and Jordan and build an economy that is self-sufficient for a while. We are working on this very fact."
And then he comes back to option three. "If number three ever takes place, it would eventually lead to a redefinition of the peace process. But it would meanwhile produce nothing for us and nothing for the Israelis. It would destroy both our goals of peace until it was replaced by something better. It would mean the collapse of the Palestinian authorities and resort to resistance again."
When asked how seriously he has contemplated this nightmare, he admits that he - though not Mr Arafat's "cabinet" - has contemplated a mass resignation of the Palestinian Authority, which would remain in Gaza but perhaps go underground. And he launches into a bitter attack on those Palestinians who, he believes, wish the peace process to fail.
"The intellectual opposition wants to make us look . . . incapable of meeting the Israelis at their own level of sophistication and connivance. Would they rather see a Bosnia or a Chechnya in Palestine? In the post-Soviet era, UN intervention has just stabilised the status quo in favour of the physically stronger party.
"Most of [the Islamic militants] Hamas's actions directed against the Israelis are in fact directed against us, to make us hit at them, to foment civil war or to make us look impotent to the Israelis."
Mr Shaath is now demanding the "Egyptian model" for peace. "Egypt took every Jewish settler and every settlement out and this produced a real peace. And in the West Bank, every settler and every settlement has got to go."
Jerusalem can be a capital for two nations, he says. "If the United States recognises all Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, that will end the peace process." He even talks about returning 1948 refugees to Galilee, inside Israel itself. "If you return 100,000 Palestinians to Galilee, that's only 10 per cent of the Palestinians in Israel already. Will the Israelis go along with that? I think they'll have to."
And then you realise that Mr Shaath wants what the Israelis thought they no longer had to contemplate: implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 242. Even if the nightmare third option was fulfilled, it would lead, after much blood, to another peace process because there is no going back.

Gameplay seems to be easy at first.
The tower is constructed of blocks which are different in size, shape and color.
Your aim is to break all blue blocks and to save as many red blocks as possible.
Blue blocks add a score. Its amount depends on the size of the block. Red blocks subtract your score the same way.
Also every broken red block subtract one "life". You have 3 lives at the beginning of each level.
Due to physical-based engine every level can be over in different ways.
Some blocks contain bonuses. When you break such block - the bonus takes off and rises on screen edge.
You should have time to "catch" it, by taping on it by finger. Action of each bonus is explained during gameplay.

Mar 26, 2013
Spain returns to their winning ways getting the full three points on the road in France. This Pedro goal was the lone one on the night, and you need to check out the run he makes to bag himself that goal. He worked very hard to get himself into position to get that goal.

Disturbed to be awake
Q: I am 31 and have been having sleepless nights for the past few years. Sometimes I go four to five days without any sleep at night and this makes me so tired. The only way I can get a decent night's sleep is to follow a fixed pattern (be in bed by 10pm every night), which I find hard to stick to. Even when I do that it only lasts for three or four days and then it's back to sleepless nights.
A: Disturbed sleep patterns generate huge anxiety - in fact the fear of not sleeping is often worse than the lack of sleep itself. The first step is to define the problem. If you can't get off to sleep, perhaps you're not physically tired enough and need more exercise. Or you may be working until late at night and not be relaxed enough to fall asleep. If you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow, but then wake a few hours later, you may have been catnapping during the day and just not need much sleep at night. Or something may be waking you - your partner's snoring or aches and pains that need treating.
Disturbed or unrefreshing sleep may, ironically, be the result of sleeping pills. If you are waking up earlier than you wish, say around 4-5am, it may be a simple matter of needing blackout lining for your curtains. But it can be a sign of depression, and if it is associated with feeling tearful, low and negative, then dealing with the depression would be more useful for you than dosing yourself on sleeping pills or lying awake fretting that you're not asleep. As you say, a strict wind-down bedtime routine - so called "sleep hygiene" - is often the only, if boring, answer. No work or caffeine after 8pm, a hot bath, a relaxing book and a set bedtime each night. Excitement or insomnia? Your choice.
My TB fear
Q: A colleague of mine has apparently been diagnosed as having TB. We have shared an open-plan office, although I didn't work particularly closely with him. I am, however, very concerned that I may have been exposed to TB as I have a young family and my wife has recently had a baby. I had my BCG vaccination as a child. We are all well and I don't have any symptoms but I don't want to put my family at risk. What should I do?
A: The answer depends on a few factors but is basically reassuring. Your risk of contracting TB is probably very small. You worked with him but did not share his home or come into very close physical contact by the sounds of it. You are well and should have a normal immune system which makes you less susceptible to infection than someone with lowered immunity. The fact that you don't have symptoms (fever, weight loss, sweats, cough and coughing up blood) indicates that you are unlikely to have the disease, in which case your family can't catch it from you. Your BCG vaccination also confers some protection. It would be useful to know just how infectious your colleague's TB is. If you can find out his full name, date of birth and the hospital he is attending, your GP can contact the public health specialists for that area and find out for you. If his TB is not a particularly infectious type, you may well be advised not to worry. If he has a particularly virulent type of infection and if there have been any other cases as a result of contact with him, you will be advised to have a screening test. This will usually be a chest X-ray, but may also include a skin test.
Feeling oddly sexy
Q: I am in my mid-50s and just over a year ago I had a total hysterectomy - womb, ovaries, cervix, the lot! I take a high daily dose of oestrogen to control osteoporosis. What puzzles me is that, without progesterone or ovaries, I still seem to have a monthly cycle of sorts, with considerably increased libido around the changeover from one set of pills to the next. This is superfluous to requirements, since I have not been sexually active since my husband died years ago. Why does it happen?
A: You do still produce some oestrogen in the fat below your skin and from adrenal glands just above your kidneys. The production is usually more constant, and less cyclical than when the ovaries are running the show, and the pills you are taking are giving you a fixed daily dose so it's hard to explain your fluctuations.
Your libido might often be heightened, though you only tune into it at the end of a packet of pills. Perhaps in time you will find a satisfying way of expressing yourself sexually again.

Finally get around to write about this place. This is a very bustling place for grocery shopping let alone beer. The place is fully packed most of the time with visitors local and aboard with very little room to manoeuvre. In terms of beer selection, however, it is as good as the Harbour City branch and way better than the IFCs. Moreover, this branch often carries surprising selections of Japanese craft brews - famous and little known alikes - Almost all beer styles are well stocked with few more odd selections here and there, especially English ales. Yet, stocks runs out pretty fast so grab them quick if you see what you want.

Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is an opportunistic pathogen and an important cause of healthcare-associated infections. MRSA is transmitted through direct or indirect contact in the healthcare setting. In acute care settings, we use Contact Precautions (health care workers [HCW] wear gowns and gloves for all patient contact) for patients colonized with MRSA to prevent transmission to other patients. Current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Isolation Guidelines suggest modifying Contact Precautions in long term care facilities (LTCF), but there is little evidence to guide how to modify them. The goal of this project is to develop an intervention to minimize MRSA transmission in community-based LTCF. We will determine the optimal modifications of Contact Precautions for LTCF in order to reduce the risk of MRSA transmission and allow care in a home-like, patient-centered environment. LTCFs provide multiple levels of care including rehabilitation care, skilled nursing care and maintenance care. In the PI's current VA Merit award, we demonstrated that MRSA transmission is four fold higher in rehabilitation care than maintenance care. This suggests that the types of care delivered modify the risk of transmission. Recently we developed a novel surrogate measure of MRSA transmission, detection of MRSA on HCW gown and gloves during HCW-patient interaction. Using this new methodology, we will test the hypothesis that MRSA transmission will vary significantly by type of contact (e.g. catheter or drain care) in community-based long term care facilities.
Our first aim i s to estimate the frequency of and risk factors for MRSA transmission to protective gowns worn by HCW interacting with MRSA colonized LTC residents using an observational study.
Our second aim i s to estimate the cumulative risk of MRSA transmission to protective gowns worn by HCW interacting with MRSA colonized LTC residents in rehabilitation care, skilled nursing care and maintenance care to assess different modifications to Contact Precautions in long term care facilities using mathematical models.
Our third aim i s to estimate the costs of these different modifications to Contact Precautions using activity- based costing. The results of our proposed study will improve the quality of care in community-based LTCF by providing evidence for when protective gowns are needed.
Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of healthcare-associated infections. These are infections that patients acquire during the course of receiving treatment for other conditions within the health care system. Preventing MRSA transmission and infections is an important quality of care goal for healthcare systems. MRSA colonization is more common in long term care facilities than in acute care hospitals;however, the optimal infection control precautions to prevent MRSA transmission in long term care facilities are unknown. The goal of this project is to develop an intervention which minimizes MRSA transmission in LTCF and allows care in a home-like, patient- centered environment.

Your own home Alarm system Can conserve Your Life wall art
Your property is in places you plus your beloved live therefore, it is unsettling to come you will find realize that many experts have broken into. Choosing the right alarm system not merely offers you a sense safety but in addition serves as a protection against any thefts. To ensure that you protect your home you, installing the correct strategy is important. Right here points to consider when you shop to get a home alarm system.
Monitored System
Albeit expensive, this alarm system hooks your home's alarm right to the protection center. When the alarm is tripped, it sends a sign on the call center. The middle will await matter of moments before calling the property owner; this is to make sure that the master would not accidentally set the alarm off. In the event the alarm continues, the guts will call the property owner and request for the protection password. If your person ceases to provide the password, the guts will contact the authorities to check the place.
Monitoring is possible differently. Some use their landline as ways of communicating with the safety center. Others choose cellular monitoring because this doesn't need a landline connection (that's ideal as robber cut telephone lines to prevent any calls from heading out) while others prefer communicating via broadband connection.
Unmonitored System motion sensors An unmonitored product is less expensive and can be installed even with the owner themselves. An alarm goes if someone enters the premise without disarming the alarm first. Although some burglars might be thwarted, it isn't difficult so they can escape together with your things since the strategy is not installed using the security center.
Which System should You Consider?
Before you decide to use a security system connected, you should consider several points. First, are you renting the area or does one actually own the place you are in? In case you are renting, major renovations like placing cameras may not suit your landlord. You are able to alter your locks for first time ones however you cannot install cameras as it could result to privacy problems with other renters. Should you own the home, then think about your budget. Surveillance cameras can be very expensive; but a majority of security companies offer discounts or bundled packages. door locks Sophisticated systems nowadays also allow remote access and owners have the ability to arm and disarm their system with a certain distance. They may also lock and unlock doors and even view live videos by logging into sites through the internet. These are merely many of the the latest features when it comes to security alarms on the market today. In case you have doubts or are nevertheless considering your alternatives, something you need to bear in mind is always to check your locks frequently as your home locks also serve as protection for you and your household.

Golf in the Sun Society (G.I.T.S) is a golf society for golfers who either live on the Costa Del Sol, or who regularly holiday here, and look for green fee discounts and competition golf.
The Society was originally formed seven years ago by a group of friends who decided they wanted to play their golf at different courses on the coast but were not prepared to pay the very expensive green fees that were being charged.
By joining forces they found they had better bargaining power with the 100 odd courses in Andalusia

The society became very popular and now boasts a membership approaching 2,500 golfers and counting.…
The attraction of reduced green fees, coupled with a minimum of 10 competitions at 10 different courses throughout the year, has proved a popular concept.

Adidas Net Beats Estimates as Profitability Widens to RecordJulie Cruz
Adidas AG reported first-quarter profit that beat estimates and said its gross margin widened to a record, sending the shares to the highest level ever.
Net income climbed 6.5 percent to 308 million euros ($403 million), the Herzogenaurach, Germany-based sporting-goods maker said today, exceeding the 298.5 million-euro average estimate of 15 analysts in a survey. The shares surged as much as 7 percent to 85.05 euros, the highest since trading began in 1995.
"It's a very strong start to the year and there could be some upside to their 2013 forecast," said Sebastian Frericks, a Frankfurt-based analyst at Bankhaus Metzler. "The gross margin saved the day. Revenue wasn't great, but this was expected."
Gross margin widened to 50.1 percent from 47.7 percent on higher pricing and a bigger proportion of sales from the company's own stores, where profitability is higher. Analysts predicted a gross margin of 48.6 percent. Adidas, which had record soccer sales last year helped by the European championships, is pushing other product categories because of the lack of a major soccer event in 2013.
"We delivered strong margin progress, which is our top priority for the year," Chief Executive Officer Herbert Hainer said in the statement.
Adidas was up 5.9 percent at 84.20 euros as of 12:40 p.m. The shares have gained 35 percent in the past year, giving the shoemaker a market value of 17.6 billion euros.
Weaker Sales
First-quarter revenue fell 1.9 percent to 3.75 billion euros. That missed the 3.76 billion-euro average estimate of 15 analysts. Revenue in western Europe slid 6 percent on a currency-neutral basis, led by declines in Spain, Italy and the U.K. Sales gained 6 percent on a currency-neutral basis in greater China, while climbing 12 percent in Latin America.
Reebok sales tumbled 16 percent in the first quarter. The company introduced the Energy Boost shoe for runners in February and expects Reebok to return to growth this year as it expands the brand's activities in the fitness market.
Energy Boost was the "most successful running launch ever," Hainer told journalists on a conference call today.
Adidas's wholesale revenue fell 5 percent in euro terms, while retail sales gained 4 percent on the same basis.
The company reiterated that it expects sales to increase at a "mid-single-digit" percentage pace excluding currency shifts in 2013, while the operating margin will improve to almost 9 percent from 8 percent in 2012. Adidas is targeting an operating margin of about 11 percent by 2015.
'Key Story'
"Continued operating margin improvement is the key story for the financial year 2013," Christopher Svezia, an analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group, wrote in a report on April 30. "There is upside to guidance on the margin, particularly if sales come in stronger than expected in the second half."
Adidas expects the euro-dollar hedging rate to worsen this year, Chief Financial Officer Robin Stalker said on the conference call. Negative currency translation effects in Japan are "not likely" to improve, he said.

So it's changing course. Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubisoft put the blame on Ubisoft's worse than expected 2009-2010 on "considerable contraction in the DS market" and "non-casual Wii titles reporting lower-than-expected sales." Oh, and Avatar sales apparently sucked too, maybe due to the game being released weeks before the billion-dollar blockbuster landing in theaters. Maybe. Advertisement Advertisement So Ubi's going to "continue to refocus our development resources on our major franchises and on the Xbox 360 and PS3, the two consoles which are expected to see sales growth in games for gamers in 2010," according to Yves.Sounds like Ubisoft still plans on pumping out casual-friendly games for the Wii market, very happy with its success with Just Dance for Nintendo's console.We're not sure which of Ubi's recent "non-casual" Wii releases are to blame—Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage? Academy of Champions: Soccer? Rabbids Go Home? CSI: Deadly Intent? Your Shape featuring Jenny McCarthy? Cook Wars? The Price is Right? Family Feud? TMNT: Smash-Up? Where's Waldo?, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs?—or even which of those the company files under "non-casual," but the publisher is definitely changing gears in 2010-2011. Sponsored Oh, and Ubisoft's new projection for the 2009-2010 year, ending in March? Down to €860 million from €1.040 billion.Reply171 repliesLeave a reply

When British actors play arty-boho types, it almost always looks try-hard. Trouble is, we've seen it all before, the skinny dipping and the girls in fishermen's jumpers with scarves knotted in their hair. This wobbly period drama is based on events between 1912 and 1914 at a Cornish artists' colony whose residents were the hippies of their day. Dominic Cooper ('Mamma Mia!') stars as Alfred James 'AJ' Munnings, a bad boy artist embroiled in a love triangle with army officer Gilbert, played by Dan Stevens – cousin Matthew from 'Downton Abbey', nice-but-dull in wellies again.
The object of their affections is Florence, played by Emily Browning, who has to do little more than look beautiful and muse-like. Florence, silly thing, says 'I do' to the pissed artist. She's meant to be a troubled soul, but 'Summer in February' is not big on internal drama, and there are some hilarious serious bits (one involving a bottle labelled 'POISON' – just in case you missed it). With some tinkering, this might just have made a decent Sunday night comfort-telly three-parter.

I saw this film barely a week after its opening and only a handful of other cinema goers was the first sign that the evening was not going to be as enjoyable as I had expected. The cinematography was good and most of the roles were acted reasonably well, but the film is intensely dull. It was a real struggle to stay awake in the first forty minutes but, having done so, I was so pleased with myself that I managed to do so for the rest of the film as well. However, there was not much else to commend this film. One of those forgettable films that does everything possible to help you do that. Thumbs down.

Rated 5 out of 5�by JustSelena Beautiful shimmery top I tried this top in the store and loved the fit and the delicate shimmer so much that I got it in both red and black in size XS. The top is very flattering and versatile - I am planning to wear the red one to parties and the black one to work paired with a button-up blouse. October 8, 2012

Pros: My Mobo fit perfectly with absolutely no hassle at all. I've had to do a lot of ridiculous things to raidmax cases, gigabyte always mislabels their cables. So I expected a lot less, being a speaker, keyboard, case, psu, mouse combo for cheap.
Very impressed. Mouse is a good size, solid feel. I enjoyed using it until my gaming one arrived. Keyboard is plain and simple, I will use it with my rig.
Cons: Limited to 500W PSU is the worst thing I can say about it. That and it doesn't have a side view panel. But that's nothing to fuss over.READ FULL REVIEW

Skip to comments.Another disgrace: In Nigeria, Hillary hints that 2000 U.S. election was rigged
Posted on 08/12/2009 6:46:21 PM PDT by SeekAndFindEdited on 08/12/2009 7:02:09 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
As Allahpundit would say, shes a special lady:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton compared Nigerias corruption and electoral problems with the 2000 Florida presidential election recount during a town hall meeting today in Abuja, Nigeria.
Answering a question about Nigerias recent election, Clinton said, In 2000, our presidential election came down to one state where the brother of the man running for President was the governor of the state. So we have our problems too.
That is a tasty combo of the Obama administrations America sucks foreign policy, coated in some rich, gooey Bush Deragement Syndrome. Sure, the media recounts of the 2000 election showed that the recounts requested by Al Gore or ordered by the Florida Supreme Court would have still resulted in a victory for George W. Bush. Why would that stop our countrys chief diplomat from suggesting that her predecessors in government were there illegitimately? Certainly not Pres. Obamas faux insistence that we let go of the politics of the past.
The sad thing is that this story will be heard by few Americans, and will register with even fewer. The silver lining? If the US Secretary of State can bestride the globe this drenched in BDS almost nine years after the fact without notice, what are the odds that a few anti-ObamaCare protesters are going to scare anyone today? (hint: Long odds.)
Update (AP): Heres the clip. Between this and her Im the secretary of state freakout the other day, shes having a hell of a trip.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton compared Nigeria's last presidential election to the 2000 U.S. Presidential election.

Mark these words. Hillary thinks she's got a shot at beating Obama in the 2012 DemocRAT primaries. And she may be right.
Liberals will never quit pissing and moaning about that election. Losers, one and all.
She's meeeelting...she's meeeelting!
More evidence that the Obama administration is in trouble.
"The sad thing is that this story will be heard by few Americans, and will register with even fewer."
The OTHER sad thing is that way too many here won't hear it for the treasonous bullshite it is, but because they agree...
Look at it this way, with )bama failing so badly, you could resign and run again in 2010 with the slogan.."I TOLD YOU SO."
Hmmmmmmm. Let me look back in those archives. We just had a (D)....who voted AGAINST 'ID for VOTERS'.....but insists that it be used for town hall meetings.
Yeah, Shrillary. Whatevah.
What an incredibly disgraceful thing for any U.S. official, much less the Secretary of State, to say to a foreign audience.
Hillary has said lots of stupid things over the years.
One stupid thing she said that I have wondered about is this: She once said "how hard is it to find the tallest man in Afghanistan?" She was referring to Bin Laden, as he is well over 6 feet tall. Well, now that good Democrats are in charge, why haven't they found Bin Laden? What is she doing as Sec. of State to find war criminals such as Bin Laden?
In fact, now that good Democrats are in charge, all of the world's problems will be solved. We will live in a socialist utopia and live in a nuclear free world. All thanks to Obama and Hillary and Nancy P. and Harry Reid and Rahm Emmanuel and the gang.
Hillary is really getting stressed. Maybe its time for some of that "end of life" counseling.
I guess Hillary has forgotten how Ralphie Nader drained 97,000 votes in Florida from Algor, and handed the election to Bush.
If we don't have a good winnable candidate
then you know, I wouldn't care if it was her.
I like her screeching better then 0's voice.
That drone voice might work for community organizing but not
as a president.
She wouldn't last any longer then 0 is going to last.
She would screw up again. By then I would hope
the right had grown some.
As a member of the Obama Administration, it is Hillary's sworn duty to urinate on America whenever possible.
The 2008 election was the mother of all rigged elections.
Of course it was rigged. All stops were pulled, even to point of Dan Rather calling Florida at five past seven when the polls closed at eight. And Bush won anyway!
Election 2000 was rigged - and the dems were astounded that Bush won anyway!
US foreign policy Previous Administration.
US- "Please do what we ask."
Russia- "You suck! We are not going to do that"
Obama administration-
US- "We suck. Please do what we ask??!"
Russia- "We like you now! But no we are not going to do what you want, sorry : )"
lol Change
Or replace Russia with any other nonsense, Iran, NK, The Beard, Fat Baby Hugo, etc.
What a sickening thing for a Sec. of State to say. Where's her damn proof?
Despicable humans.
I understand why Bill went to Vegas for his birthday.
Condi had class, Hitlery is what Barbara Bush once said she was.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
As the eternal lurker, I must say "Give me a F___ing Break!"
Outside United States Borders?
In an F - N Banana Republic?
As the GD'd SECRETARY OF STATE?
And the Smartest woman on the continent (previous award)?
She has the Balls to question the electoral system of the United States?
(And I am getting lip for "FREE THE LONG FORM!"?)
I guess I can agree, WE DO HAVE OUR PROBLEMS, TOO!
(what an ignorant C-word.)
This is disgraceful. Hillary Clinton should be forced to resign. She has shown herself to be unqualified.
Democrat stupidity. The gift that keeps giving....
It was the 2008 election - not 2001.
While Men are saving hostages in North Korea, and Men are negotiating Middle East Peace...
Hillary is touring the Congo...
Ya can't make this stuff up....
Ding!!! Ding!!! Ding!!!
Bill getting kudos and attention has flipped her out I believe.
Because of that statement Ms Clinton should be removed from office. She should also be tried for treason!
Like it or not, the 2000 election procedure was followed according to our laws. If this dolt named Clinton can't handle that, she needs to relocate to a country that she finds better than the US!!!!!!
Hillary and Bill, No Class and Chases Ass.
Hillery-rotten can jam her broom up her ample arse.
While Men are saving hostages in North Korea, and Men are negotiating Middle East Peace...
Hillary is touring the Congo...
Ya can't make this stuff up....
Well, that was all I needed to hear to know the 2008 election was rigged and she's whizzed that she and sinkEmperor were out clintoned. You just know the Rodham rodent was relishing her chance to bury McCain after her supporters worked so hard to get him nominated.

Hillary is right. We do have our problems with elections, but those problems have little, if anything, to do with whom is Governor of which state and more to do with the lack of standards in counting the votes in a recount. One precinct counts hanging chads another interprets voter intentions and still another finds missing votes.
It's all about which party can make the best arguments in court to convince the judge which votes should be counted and which should be discarded.
Another significant problem is the national media calling precincts for one candidate over another and in so doing affecting the votes in other states and time zones. That needs to come to an end. It would be better to let all the precincts report in with no updates whatsoever. We should all find out who won after the last precinct in Hawaii reports 100% of its votes.
And don't even get me started on ACORN-sponsored voter fraud or caucus fraud or open primaries or corrupt political parties etc.
So now she's channelling "Al Gore" and not her husband?
Hitlery is preparing her next run for the White House.
See Ted Kennedy 1980.
The Sociopath of State, Hillary Cretin, is mouthing again?
Let's say Hillary gets TOTUS to dictate this phrase for Obama: "I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President."
It has been done before. Hillary, being a child of the sixties, surely believes that RFK would have defeated Nixon in '68. I bet she thinks about it every day!
Actually - I firmly believe that the 2000 election WAS rigged. But the whole plan fell apart when voters beat the fix. That is why the Libtard/Dems threw such a temper tantrum. They had put a lot of effort, time, and money into buying/rigging the election. When their plan failed one domino after another, they felt they had been robbed.
But in a way, they won nearly as big of a victory - because they have convinced a lot of people that it was the Repubs who cheated. Stupid people since 2000 have reproduced and/or raised more stupid people.
It was! By the Democrats! They lost anyway!
Well...She's right, Gore tried to "cherrypick",
which counties he wanted to re-count....(just like Franken, in MN), but
the USSC; stopped him et al...(IIRC) said / inferred "one standard for all recounts".
that must have really impressed the Nigerians. To know that the US Secretary of State officially states the 2000 Presidential election was rigged.
Worse, according to "allafrica.com" reporting about her meeting in Nigeria, she disgusted the authentic Nigerian Government by sending invitations to meet with dissenters and opposers of the current Government, violating diplomatic protocol!!! They were really not happy with her!
Then, she meets with the opposition - and here's what was written:
Visiting American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to meet in Abuja with a select group of top Nigerian opposition politicians, where issues bordering on electoral reform and the fight against corruption are expected to dominate discussions, officials said yesterday.
Daily Trust learnt that invitations to the meeting with Clinton have been sent to an unconfirmed number of top opposition politicians, including former Head of State Muhammadu Buhari and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, both of who contested but lost the 2007 presidential elections to President Umaru Yar'adua.
The meeting with the political leaders is to discuss "the challenges of Nigerian politics and possible way forward for democracy in the country," an embassy official said.
Aides to Buhari and Abubakar have separately confirmed that their principals received invitations to meet with Clinton.
And then when Hitlery meets with them, she wants to make them feel better by telling them that we have problems with elections in the US? Tell me? How many died in the 2000 fiasco? Do you have any idea how many died in the post-election idiocy in Kenya? How many have died in Nigeria because of election opposition - the very people that Hitlery just dignified by meeting with them?
"Liberals will never quit pissing and moaning about that election. Losers, one and all"
They were so sure that they had that election stolen, and they came so close. The Florida supreme court was in the tank for them, but then at the last minute the US Supreme Court required Florida to follow its own laws. Oh, if only Beelzebubba had been able to appoint just one more leftist scoundrel...
You're right, a defeat that bitter will never be forgotten. After all the ballot-box stuffing and stealing, all the absentee ballots lost, delayed, or illegally disqualified, all the lying propaganda and chad taping, they were denied by the same judiciary that has been such a good friend to them.
Hillary Clinton is right.
The libs in Florida almost stole the election.
Yo Hil - Sure it was rigged ... it was rigged from the time yo' manster couldn't keep his johnson in his drawers ...
