Football - Portsmouth administrators reveal club deb. Report - The price of Pompey's debts Portsmouth's administrators have revealed the relegated Premier League club's debts are £119m. A letter published by the administrator reveals the extent of the debt and adds they are owed a total of £14m from Tottenham, Inter Milan and Liverpool.
In February, Portsmouth became the first Premier League club to enter administration with debts of £60m-£70m. Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said they only had themselves to blame for their financial situation. "Back in January, I said that if a club enters administration while in the Premier League then it would be down to bad management of the club, and it is," he told BBC Radio 5 live. The letter from administrators says Portsmouth's actual debt is close to double what was reported in February, although they are still owed money from the transfers of Jermain Defoe to Tottenham, Glen Johnson to Liverpool and Sulley Muntari to Inter Milan. List of highest mountains. Considerations[edit] One of figures of topographic prominence: The prominence of a peak is the height of the peak’s summit above the lowest contour line encircling it and no higher summit.
For example, vertical arrows show the topographic prominence of three peaks on an island. A dotted horizontal line links each peak (except the highest) to its key col. The dividing line between a mountain with multiple peaks and separate mountains is not always clear (see also Highest unclimbed mountain). A popular and intuitive way to distinguish mountains from subsidiary peaks is by their height above the highest saddle connecting it to a higher summit, a measure called topographic prominence or re-ascent (the higher summit is called the "parent peak"). A common definition of a mountain is a summit with 300 m (980 ft) prominence. It is very unlikely that all given heights are correct to the nearest metre; indeed, the sea level is often problematic to define when a mountain is remote from the sea.
Mauna Kea. Mauna Kea (English pronunciation: /ˌmɔːnə ˈkeɪ.ə/ or /ˌmaʊnə ˈkeɪ.ə/, Hawaiian: [ˈmɔunə ˈkɛjə]), also called Mauna a Wākea in Hawaiian culture, is a dormant volcano on the island of Hawaiʻi. Standing 4,205 m (13,796 ft) above sea level, its peak is the highest point in the state of Hawaii. Much of the mountain is under water; when measured from its oceanic base, Mauna Kea is over 10,000 m (33,000 ft) tall, significantly taller than Mount Everest. Mauna Kea is about a million years old, and has thus passed the most active shield stage of life hundreds of thousands of years ago. In its current post-shield state, its lava is more viscous, resulting in a steeper profile. In Hawaiian mythology, the peaks of the island of Hawaiʻi are sacred, and Mauna Kea is the most sacred of all. With its high altitude, dry environment, and stable airflow, Mauna Kea's summit is one of the best sites in the world for astronomical observation.

Keyboard shortcuts for Windows. E3 2009: Project Natal Milo demo. Politics | Hidden world of the political advisers. Clare Short disparagingly dubbed them the "people who live in the dark". On television The Thick of It portrayed them as scheming and mendacious Machiavellians. One of the most infamous of recent years was Jo Moore. Now the name Damian McBride can be added to the list. They can often be spotted darting through the television studios of Westminster with their minister, briefing papers under arm and Blackberry in hand.
Young, sharp and driven, they are the special advisers - and they get a bad rap. The discovery that Mr McBride was smearing senior Conservatives in e-mails to his mate from his keyboard at Number 10 fits into that popular picture. Avoiding criticism It has prompted Gordon Brown to ask the cabinet secretary to review the rules governing the behaviour of special advisers. The Conservatives - and almost everyone who has read the rules - say that is unnecessary. So what do special advisers do and is the characterisation fair? The code of conduct spells out the job description.
UK unemployment increases to 2.5 million. The number of people unemployed in the UK rose by 43,000 to 2.5 million during the three months to February, official figures have shown. The jobless total is now at its highest since 1994. The rate of unemployment now stands at 8% - the highest since 1996 - the Office for National Statistics said. However, the total number of people claiming unemployment benefit fell in March by 32,900 to 1.54 million - a much sharper fall than expected.
The ONS figures showed youth unemployment rising, with 929,000 16 to 24-year-olds out of work in the December to February period - a rise of 4,000 on the previous three months. There was also a rise in the number of people classed as economically inactive - those out of work and not seeking work. They rose by 110,000 to a record total of 8.16 million, equivalent to 21.5% of the population. The majority of that rise was due to an increase in the number of students, as young people decided to enter education instead of seek jobs. 'Jobless recovery'

High performance access to file storage Adobe has said it won't be developing any more versions of its packager, which allowed Flash applications to be recompiled for the iPhone. Instead Android will be its focus in the future. Apple doesn't want Flash on the iPhone, so Adobe fitted its development platform with "Packager for iPhone" which compiles Flash apps into iPhone applications, so Apple changed the rules to say that developers must work in "Objective-C, C++ or JavaScript".
Adobe was reduced to screaming abuse, threatening vague lawsuits, and now stomping off in disgust as the Flash product manager explained in a blog posting: "We will still be shipping the ability to target the iPhone and iPad in Flash CS5. However, we are not currently planning any additional investments in that feature. " Apple really doesn't want Flash on the iPhone, and will go a long way to prevent that happening.

You don't have to be in the business of developing iPhone or iPad apps to benefit from this program, though.
Apple claims that there will be one billion ad opportunities per day, and it shouldn't be a surprise that iPhone and iPad owners are in a demographic sweet spot.
