Palins $1.25m book advance FORMER Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has received a $1.25million (834,000) retainer for her new book Going Rogue. Palin, who resigned as Alaska governor in July, has kept a low profile while she worked with her ghostwriter. The book jumped to No.1 on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com after publisher HarperCollins recently delayed its release to November. THE two airline pilots who flew 240km (150miles) past their destination were using laptops at the time. They were so wrapped up in a new crew-scheduling program that they lost track of an hour on the Northwest flight to Minneapolis until an attendant called them on the intercom. The incident could cost them their licences. Pilots on laptops overshot airport Todays children go twice as far as their parents didBY ROSS McDONAGH Websites vie for top gong THE 2009 Eircom Golden Spiders shortlist has been announced. Bestquote.ie, Gohop.ie, Fotawildlife.ie, RTE.ie/ morningireland, Justeat.ie, Gaeilge.ie, shamrockfoods.ie and axa.ie are among the shortlisted sites as the Irish internet awards enters its 13th year. It is certainly true to say that each year we are surprised and delighted by the sheer excellence and innovation in the online community, said Michael Kennedy, chairman of the judging panel and marketing director of Eircom. CHILDREN are twice as well-travelled as their par- ents were at their age. A study by Hotels.com has revealed that children today will have visited an average of six countries by the time they are 16, compared with the three their parents visited by that age. Less than one per cent of 16-year-olds have never left Ireland, while almost one quarter of their parents had never been abroad by the same age. While the rise in popularity of European city and beach breaks has contributed to todays under-16s travelling, many are also heading further afield. One in four children has been to America by their 16th birthday, one in 20 have been to Asia and Aus- tralia, and three per cent have to Africa. Almost every child in Ireland (98 per cent) has made a trip to a European country by the age of 16. Irish children today are better-travelled than ever with almost every under 16-year-old experiencing countries abroad according to our research, said Alison Couper, of Hotels.com. A generation ago, one in four Irish people hadnt been overseas by the age of 16, but now the same percentage of todays youngsters have been to eight countries by the time they turn 16, Ms Couper said. Parents desire for their children to experience a range of countries and cultures early is the driver for 86 per cent of parents, while 51 per cent said learn- ing another language was their second reason. Four out of five parents also let their children help decide where the family travelled on holidays. A separate study found that, while Irish travel overseas is down ten per cent, 89 per cent of second- ary schools plan to take students abroad this year. This man: He appears in dreams, if you believe the internet Picture: Getty Is this the face of the man of your dreams? A WEBSITE attempting to trace a mysterious man seen by thousands of people in their dreams has become an internet sensation but it may all be an elaborate global hoax. Thisman.org urges people to contact them if they have seen him and hundreds have done just that. There is also a YouTube video, complete with spooky soundtrack. But Metro can reveal that the site was registered in January 2008 by Andrea Natella, founder of an Italian guerilla marketing agency, known for campaigns such as Shock And Hoax. The story began in a New York psychiatrists office in January 2006, when a patient drew the face of a man who had been giving her advice in recurring dreams. The portrait was seen by another patient who also claimed the man had visited him in his dreams. Other patients recognised the man as a frequent presence in their own dreams, each referring to him as this man. index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
