Here RBS show off their sponsorship of top female golfer Paula Creamer ranked #9 in the world.
It seems it's not just tennis which is enjoying an influx of women playing the sport and doing well and it's good to see females getting the sponsorship dollar too.
i got just one thing to say about cursor-catching banners: BOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRIIIINGG! thank you.

I have to agree. I feel like cursor-catches are like lens flares. There's nothing wrong with them, and they can be done well (as above) but they've been overused to the point where we just need to do one to get it out of our systems.

I gotta admit, I'm not much for cursor-catching banners, but I found this one to be rather cute. :]

Seriously. How much longer are people going to consider banners that take over your mouse pointer creative? It was great... the FIRST time!
It always entertains spotting the designers from the people who can be conceptual and stragegic, a cursor trick will obviously be a suprising new thing for the target audience who are used to seeing animated gifs whilst on financial sites. Please don't comment if your stupid.

Good execution. Who cares if the idea is old? So is rock'n'roll, but people are still playing it.
I don't know. I think when you live and breath banner ads, cursor-catches may feel overused. But I'm not sure the average online user would have encountered them THAT much.

Where I live (Belgium) we have more than 70% non-interactive banners.
So I'm already happy when I have some cursor grabbinig interactivity.
