Google's Share of U.S. Mobile Search-Ad Dollars Is Falling, Forecast Says
Google dominates search advertising on personal computers, raking in billions of dollars a year in profit. In the mobile world, where apps are increasingly popular, Google's power is eroding, according to new estimates released Thursday.
Google had 82.8% of the $2.24 billion mobile search ad market in the U.S. in 2012, but that dropped to 68.5% in 2013 and will slip to 64.2% by 2016, according to a forecast from research firm eMarketer.
Google's revenue from mobile search, though, will continue to climb rapidly despite the declining market share thanks to overall industry growth, eMarketer said.
A Google spokesman declined to comment.
Google still does well when people launch a Web browser on their mobile devices to search for something. But users are increasingly launching apps instead – and then searching within those apps for what they want, eMarketer said. Google has its own app for search, too.
More than 80% of the time people spend glued to their mobile devices is inside apps, rather than surfing web pages in a mobile browser like Apple's Safari or Google's own mobile Chrome browser, according to mobile analytics firm Flurry.
"Search engines are not necessarily the first place smartphone and tablet users turn," said Cathy Boyle, a senior mobile analyst at eMarketer. "The explosion of mobile app development and usage means mobile users have more – and more specialized – alternatives for finding information."
When someone on a desktop or laptop searches for something to buy, they often do a Google search and then click on a link that takes them to, say, Amazon.com. On a smartphone, they are more likely to launch Amazon's mobile app and search for the product within the app.
Rival search providers, especially app-focused ones, are gaining a greater share of mobile search-ad dollars from Google. These competitors include Yahoo and Microsoft's Bing, but also those that specialize in a particular area, such as shopping for Amazon, travel for Kayak and music for Shazam. They are expected to grab 29.7% of the mobile search-ad spending in 2016, up from 5.4% in 2012, eMarketer forecast.
Google has been trying for years to tackle the threat that the mobile boom poses to its main search-ad business.
Its search engine is based on following links between Web pages. But on mobile devices, apps are walled off from one another. Google's Web-crawling technology can't "see" inside apps, making its search engine less useful as a tool to discover new information.
In response, the company launched an initiative called app indexing that encourages app developers to use so-called deep links, which let a search engine on a smartphone find and point to content inside apps. It could be a new way for Google to cash in on mobile search, as it recently rolled out a new type of ad so companies can use deep links to promote their apps.

As everyone in this country keeps blaming everyone else for our high unemployment rate, one assertion gets repeated so often that it is now regarded as fact:
Rich people create jobs.
Specifically, the argument goes, entrepreneurs and investors create jobs.
So if we want to create more jobs, the argument continues, we need to cut taxes on entrepreneurs and investors--to increase their incentive to create jobs.
Now, I'm an entrepreneur, and Business Insider employs about 75 people, up from zero four years ago. So if this assertion were true, I'd happily espouse it. It would make me feel great, believing that I had created all those jobs. And it would make me feel perfectly justified in paying historically low tax rates. (After all, I created these jobs!).
Unfortunately, as I explained in detail here, this assertion is wrong: Entrepreneurs and investors actually don't create jobs, at least not by themselves. What creates jobs is a healthy economic ecosystem, of which entrepreneurs and investors are only parts. The more important part of the job-creation engine is a huge base of people and companies with plentiful disposable income. Specifically, millions upon millions of customers with money to spend.
Without our generous readers and sponsors and dedicated team, all the jobs I "created" at BI would immediately cease to exist (including mine). I'm patient and determined, but I'm not Sisyphus. And our investors are good people, but they're also, justifiably, impatient (they, too, have clients to serve and jobs to keep). And I certainly couldn't produce BI by myself. So if BI hadn't quickly gained traction with readers and sponsors and hired a great team, my investors and I would have switched the lights off. And all those jobs would have gone "poof."
Without healthy customers, in other words, entrepreneurs and investors can create prototypes, or do R&D, but they can't create self-sustaining jobs. To create self-sustaining jobs, companies need to sell their products and services into a marketplace that 1) wants them, and 2) can afford them. The marketplace also needs laws, law-enforcement, property rights, transportation systems, resources, rules, and other attributes of healthy free-market economies that help companies and society function. Without all those things, entrepreneurs and investors can't create jack.
To illustrate this, let's run through a simple example. Let's create a fictional economy called "Millionaire's Island..."
Let's assume that, before we get there, Millionaire's Island is an unspoiled wilderness. And let's start our experiment by picking up "the 1%"--the Americans in the top-percentile of wage earners--and putting them all on the island.
Let's allow the 1% to take their savings with them. So some of these folks will arrive with enormous wealth, and others will have very modest means. The island's residents will also be a highly skilled and educated bunch: Most of the 1% are doctors, lawyers, bankers, business-owners, hedge-fund managers, and so on.
In 2010, there were about 1.4 million one-percenters in the U.S., and they each made a minimum of $380,000 a year. So our island's population will be the size of a mid-sized American city. And the total wealth on the island will amount to one-third of the wealth of the entire United States.
(That's how much of the wealth the top 1% of the country owns--see chart at right).
What will happen?
Well, first there will be a massive grab for all of the island's resources. This will probably lead to years of violence and wars, in which many of the island's new residents will be killed off.
(Such is life without property rights.)
But maybe, to skip this step, we can keep our property rights and just peacefully divide the island's resources upon arrival--say, according to net worth. In this case the super-rich 0.1% would end up owning the vast majority of the island and the rest of the 1% would end up with some scraps.
Provided the 1% don't kill each other off dividing up resources, the island will then progress to the next phase of economic development: The rush to satisfy basic needs.
These needs would include:
- Food
- Clothes
- Shelter
- Basic services (health, legal, banking, plumbing, construction, garbage disposal, tailoring, cooking, dry-cleaning, cleaning, undertaking, etc.)
- Government (including police and judicial system)
(Yes, we'll need some government. Given how much so many people seem to hate government, however, we'll keep government small and fund it with a simple, low, "fair" flat tax. That will let the super-rich keep more of their earnings than they currently do--and, thus, according to the theory, have an incentive to create more jobs.)
Now, if the island's economy is closed--no imports or exports--most of the people on the island will probably soon die of starvation, because 1.4 million people can't immediately feed themselves without a fully developed agriculture system. But let's pretend that there's a food source that will keep everyone alive indefinitely and that control of this food source does not fall into the hands of a greedy monopolist who can charge, say, $1 million for a banana.
(If a billionaire were starving and there was nothing else to eat, the billionaire might just pay $1 million for a banana. As a result, the food monopolist would quickly amass all the wealth on the island. And the monopolist would enjoy this wealth right up until the time the rest of the island stormed his mansion, chopped off his head, and redistributed his property. It is true that "life is not fair"--another mantra that is often used to justify the extreme inequality that has developed in the U.S. in the past 30 years--but there's only so much inequality society can take.).
So let's say the island's food needs are taken care of. Then it's on to the other basic necessities.
Among the island's residents will be lots wealthy entrepreneurs and investors, many of whom made it into the 1% by selling companies or investing money. And there will also be "poor" entrepreneurs who are willing to take more risk in the hope of getting rich.
These entrepreneurs and investors will start founding and funding companies. These new companies will hire some of the island's other residents to provide their products and services. And the jobs for these residents (and the entrepreneurs) will be self-sustaining--as long as the employees are paid enough to buy basic necessities from other companies.
If the employees are not paid living wages--if, instead, all the entrepreneurs and investors try to maximize every cent of profit by paying employees as little as possible--the new jobs will not be self-sustaining.
Why not?
Because as soon as the less-wealthy people on the island run through their savings, the money to pay for basic necessities will disappear. The new companies that had been formed to provide houses, clothes, services, and so forth will go bust, and all the jobs will disappear (no customers = no companies = no jobs). The economy will collapse, and the island will be thrown into anarchy.
Importantly, this collapse will happen even if the wealth of the island as a whole still adds up to trillions. If the wealth and income is concentrated only in the hands of a privileged few, there will be no money for the less privileged to pay for any products and services produced by these few. Thus, there will be no point in the rich people producing any products and services beyond what they need to feed and clothe themselves (because no one will be able to buy the products and services). And, therefore, there will be very few jobs.
(The super-rich will probably have to throw everyone else a bone and give them means to clothe and house themselves or risk getting their heads chopped off, but this bone could take the form of indentured servitude. But the economy would not grow, and products and services would not improve. Instead, the super-rich would just sit on their money, which, most certainly would not "trickle down.")
So this is the first example of why it is silly to think that "entrepreneurs and investors" create the jobs in our economy. Entrepreneurs and investors start and fund companies, which is important. But what actually creates self-sustaining jobs and a growing economy is customers who want and can pay for companies' products and services. Without these customers, there's no job creation.
And what, in a healthy economy, enables customers to pay for products and services? The customers' own jobs--jobs that pay the customers enough to be able to afford to buy products and services.
[Before moving on to a final point, we should note an amusing side-effect of the economy on Millionaire's Island. To provide for its population's basic necessities, our island economy will create the need for a lot of jobs that the 1% aren't used to doing.
Specifically, a bunch of the folks who were making, say, $1 million a year as bankers or lawyers prior to moving to the island would have no choice but to become construction workers or sewer cleaners or undertakers or firemen, because otherwise those jobs just won't get done. The good news for these former bankers will be that, since no one on the island will want or know how to do those jobs, they'll probably be able to charge immense amounts for doing them. So as they're pumping crap out of a billionaire's cesspool, the former bankers will be able to take comfort in the fact that they're being paid millions to do it. At least until another former banker comes along who does it for less. Which probably won't take long.
Also amusing will be the fact that there will be an absolute glut of banking, legal, doctoring, and investing talent on the island, which should drive the price and compensation for these services to the floor. So the 1% will get a taste of what it's like to have their skill-sets and professions become so commoditized that they can't make a living doing them anymore. They might even have to sign up for re-training programs!]
Anyway, the satisfaction of basic needs will create a lot of jobs in our island economy. And as long as the island's employers pay their employees enough to live on and save something, everything will be fine.
So, what will happen once the basic needs have been met?
Companies will be founded that do more than satisfy basic needs.
The new companies will produce products that people want, but don't necessarily need.
Like iPads.
Steve Jobs, the inventor of the iPad, has been heralded as an amazing job-creator in our own economy, because some 60,000 people now work at Apple making products like the iPad. But did Steve Jobs really singlehandedly create all those jobs? Of course not. If there hadn't been hundreds of millions of people on the planet with enough disposable income to buy iPhones and iPads, Apple wouldn't have been able to sell them. What created Apple's jobs was the combination of products that people wanted and people who could afford to pay for them.
But maybe among the island companies founded by the entrepreneurs and investors, there will be an island Apple, Inc. And this Apple will make products that are so magical and amazing that everyone will immediately want them.
And how many jobs will this island Apple create?
It depends on how many of the island's residents can afford to buy the iPads after taking care of their more pressing needs.
If everyone on the island has enough income to afford an iPad after paying for food, shelter, and clothes, then the island Apple Inc. might sell 1.4 million iPads (one per person). And that level of demand for iPads would create a lot of jobs making, distributing, selling, and servicing iPads--jobs that would last as long as the demand for the iPads lasted.
But what if the island's income and resources were not so equally distributed?
What if, instead of everyone on the island having enough disposable income to buy an iPad, only, say, 25% of the island's residents had enough disposable income to afford an iPad?
(This, by the way, is probably a reasonable estimate of the percentage of American households that could afford to buy an iPad. About 25% of American taxpayers make more than $67,000 a year. And by the time you get through with food, clothes, shelter, utilities, transportation, taxes, et al, you probably couldn't afford iPads for everyone in the family on much less than that).
If only 25% of the island's residents could afford to buy iPads, then the island Apple could only sell about 350,000 of them. And that would create a lot fewer jobs than the production, sales, and service of 1.4 million iPads.
And this gets to the important point.
The iPad is the same.
But the number of jobs created by the iPad is different depending on the number of customers who want and can afford to buy it.
So, again, crediting the entrepreneurs and investors who created the iPad with singlehandedly "creating jobs" is unfair to every other participant in the economy. It's the overall health of the ecosystem--the combination of entrepreneurs, investors, laws, law-enforcement, transportation, and, most of all, wide distribution of wealth--that creates the jobs, not entrepreneurs and investors.
Yes, life is not fair. Yes, some people will always have more and others will always have less. Yes, capitalism is the best economic system in the world. Yes, entrepreneurs and investors are an important part of the economic job-creation engine.
But the moral of the story is that we're all in this together.
Our jobs are not created by a special, privileged handful of rich people (entrepreneurs and investors), much less a handful of rich people who have to be even better incentivized if our economy is to get back on track. Our jobs are created and sustained by the amazing economic ecosystem in which we all have the privilege and good fortune of existing.
If we continue to concentrate the wealth of this ecosystem in the hands of fewer and fewer participants, the health of the ecosystem will not improve. On the contrary, it will deteriorate further.
We do not need to further incentivize entrepreneurs and investors to start companies--they already have plenty of incentives to do so.
What we do need to do is find ways to give our vast middle class more purchasing power again.
What are some of those ways?
Well, modestly shifting the tax burden toward rich people would help. (Modestly, not wildly. No one sensible is talking about raising top bracket income tax rates back to 70%-90% again. We can start by just nudging the top bracket back to, say, 39%, and raising taxes on dividends and capital gains).
Reducing household debts through mortgage restructurings would also help.
And so would rebuilding our manufacturing base.
And so would doing something that could be accomplished outside of government influence: Companies could voluntarily reduce their profit margins and pay people more.
Wait, what?
Yes. Instead of continuing to increase their profit margins above today's already record levels, companies could decide to shift their emphasis from "serving customers and increasing shareholder value" to "serving customers and increasing shareholder value and providing a good living to as many employees as they can.
Wow, that last one sounds crazy. But it isn't. Our companies have become so phenomenally profitable and efficient that wages in our economy recently hit an all-time low as a percentage of GDP (see chart above). Perhaps it's time our companies started voluntarily sharing more of the vast wealth they have created with their employees.

Buzzer Beaters: Top Sports Stories for January 31
Today's biggest sports news: the Ray Lewis/Alex Rodriguez PED sagas continue, a romantic twist in the Manti Te'o affair, and a Jerry Sandusky update.
Ray Lewis called the recent PED accusations against him "a trick of the devil." Nothing will happen to Lewis, punishment-wise, it's important to remember. Strange how the media (and America) doesn't really seem to care all that much about PEDs in football—even when the star player on a Super Bowl team during Super Bowl week is accused of using—while over in baseball ... [ProFootballTalk]
... Alex Rodriguez continues to get raked over the media coals for the recent PED accusations against him, which he, like Lewis, has denied. Typical of the articles being written now are ones that ask questions like, Is his entire legacy at risk? Will the Yankees void the rest of his contract, which owes him $114 million? Is he secretly in al Qaeda? Smells like a double standard here. [USA Today]
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo may have actually been in love with Manti Te'o, according to Dr. Phil. Tuiasosopo sat down with the TV doc for an interview that will air Thursday and Friday. [ABC]
Jerry Sandusky will not receive a new trial. Judge John Cleland determined that Sandusky's legal team had enough time to prepare his defense. Sandusky will spend the rest of his life in prison. [ESPN]

ADePT Health allows users to produce quickly and with a minimal risk of errors most tables that have become standard in applied health equity analysis. ADePT's tables are in a standardized format and are based on a set of methods that are widely accepted in the literature. However, ADePT Health also allows considerable flexibility in terms of specific assumptions. Through its standardized tables, ADePT Health facilitates comparisons of health equity over time within and between countries.
ADePT Health uses the methods outlined in Analyzing Health Equity Using Household Survey Data: A Guide to Techniques and Their Implementation (Washington DC, World Bank, 2008) by Owen O'Donnell, Eddy van Doorslaer, Adam Wagstaff and Magnus Lindelow. Copies of the book can be ordered online or downloaded for free from http://www.worldbank.org/analyzinghealthequity, where Powerpoint self-teaching tutorials on health equity methods are ALSO available for download, along with customizable Stata do files for analysts who are comfortable with Stata programming. ADePT Health will appeal to the health equity analyst who wants to focus on data-preparation, interpreting results, and thinking about policy implications, rather than on Stata programming. ADePT Health dramatically reduces the time taken to prepare standard health equity tables, and makes more widely accessible all the methods covered in Analyzing Health Equity.
ADePT's Health Financing module covers:
- Progressivity of health care finance—chapter 16 of Analyzing Health Equity
- Redistributivity of health care finance—chapter 17
- Catastrophic out-of-pocket payments—chapter 18
- Poverty and out-of-pocket payments—chapter 19
ADePT's Health Outcomes module covers:
- Inequalities in health—chapters 5, 7-9 and 13 of Analyzing Health Equity
- Inequity in health utilization—chapter 15
- Benefit incidence analysis—chapter 14
Please check regularly for updates to the software. Guides to the program (including video tutorials in multiple languages) will follow shortly. Examples of output based on the examples in Analyzing Health Equity will also be available, as will the datasets used in the book. ADePT Health Financing (1:53)

4) How can I rent/earn a desk where I can leave my things?
The value in Gangplank is far more the relationships in our global community than a desk. We want as much of people's presence and as little of their stuff as possible.
We don't rent desks. We view requesting a desk as requesting to be a part of our community so it helps if you have been involved and we know you.

Gangplank promotes collaboration, sharing ideas, and a playful work environment. Those who are a good fit will align to our manifesto and thrive in a playful work environment that is at times noisy (we do have conference rooms for the occasional times where you need to focus a bit more). Additionally, those who are a good fit tend to want to the relationships and connections. They see the value it brings to the community and thus choose to frequently spend time out in the main space, sharing ideas, and will even move over to share a desk or offer their desk to others. Gangplankers take responsibility for the space, but are not possessive.

Undergraduate Question. NEED HELP Please
March 26, 2005, 05:37:11 PM »
I know I'm a big young to be on this site, heck I haven't even begun undergraduate yet, but I just have a question and I dont know where else to turn. I don't usually put my faith on a forum but people on this site seem very informative and intelligent so I thought I'd take a chance. Ok so here's the situation:
I dont have the best grades because of a rocky fresh and soph year but I got accepted into a few schools. I've limited my list to
CUNY City college Honors college
Vassar College
New York University
Fordham University
Binghamton (very unlikely)
The top three choices are the most likely schools I would be attending. I would like to go to a good law school and I was wondering whether or not an undergraduate school say such as city college would hinder my chances. The reason I would like to go there though is because it'll give me a full ride plus money and other incentives such as a laptop. All my friends tell me not to jeopardize my education by going there, but I keep thinking that it isn't like I'm turning down HYPS.
So would a law school look down on me if I went to city college even if it is a honors program which is selective, or should I opt to take out loans from say Vassar or NYU? I'm wondering if a top law school would automatically reject my application just because of the undergraduate school I went to. I'm determined to work very hard in college but it would be depressing if my best would not be good enough because of the school I go to.
Sorry if this post is long but could someone please help me out of this dire situation?

I've read a lot of these boards, and chances are some posters will tell you the prestige of the instituion matters.
Don't worry. The top factors for law school admission are your GPA and LSAT score. While a GPA from a prestigous school might weigh a bit more, don't count on it. There are numerous students at the top law schools who recieved a public education. Go to the school that's best for you, and work on getting the best GPA you can. That's the top thing you can do to increase your chances of admisson. Being in the honors program is also a plus.
If you're still worried, I'd recommend asking an admissions office at a law school you're thinking about for a list of undergraduate institutions they have accepted students from.

Equal is more or less right. If you're sure you want to go to law school, the prestige of your undergrad institution matters much less than you might think. Your LSAT and GPA will determine your success in law school admissions to a much greater extent. That's not to say that the college you go to doesn't matter, but just to say that it's possible to go to any law school in the country from CUNY.
If you to to CUNY Honors college, take difficult classes, get good grades, major in something you love (ideally something considered an intellectual discipline -- i.e. not marketing or criminal justice -- try for something that a person could get a PhD in...), and you do well on your LSAT, you'll have a good chance of getting in any law school in the country. I mean that.
But don't give up on NYU or Vassar just because CUNY is offering you money (and even though it's fun to think about, the laptop really isn't significant. you can buy a laptop for a thousand bucks).
Talk to the folks at NYU and Vassar (in their FinAid office) to see what they can help you with. You might be suprised. You might be shocked by how much financial aid you get. Now, it's perhaps not worth being a hundred thousand in debt from your undergraduate education, but it might be worth half of that. And there's no reason to necessarily think you'd have to be in debt even that much.
What I'm saying is that you shouldn't be afraid to take out a reasonable amount of debt for your undergraduate education. If your heart is set on Vassar, for instance, then try to find a way to go. You won't regret it. Money spent on education is money well spent. In the grand scheme of your life, this kind of money isn't such a crazy amount -- even if it may seem like it now.
Well, good luck.

By the way, don't listen to your friends. I'm sure they're nice people, but what they're offering is what I like to call, "brother-in-law advice." A lot of otherwise smart, nice people are going to offer their opinions on things that they really know very little about (of course, they think they know a lot). But it's your job to do your own research and learn when to just not listen.
I remember an example of this when I was in high school. A couple of my friends were arguing about which was better for getting into law school: going to Michigan State's James Madison School (a political science program) or going to the University of Michigan. And they were saying that MSU was the better choice because Michigan didn't like to offer seats in its law school to its own grads. Sound odd?
Well it was odd. It was also totally absurd. Not only was the fact that Michigan didn't like to offer its grads seats in its law school bogus, but in truth there isn't that big of a difference between the way a law school will look at a Michigan grad and the way they'll look at an MSU grad. It just doesn't matter that much -- it matters a little -- but not all that much.
But when all of your friends are consumed in the process of applying for college, they think everything matters a lot more than it does.
Don't worry so much. Go to a school you love and major in something you love and do well. And listen to yourself.
Ice? In Sacramento? Hmm. . .

Exactly what SleepyGuyYawn said.
Perhaps NYU would impress admissions committees but not if you have sub-par grades and a low LSAT score. Find the school that best fits your needs, pick a major in a subject you're passionnate about, do well in undergrad, and smoke the LSAT. Also try to do some extracurricular activities (anything you're interested in) to show you have another impressive aspect outside of undergrad.
Good luck!

Thank you all so much for your insight on my situation, especially SleepyGuyYawn. I'm glad that there are people over the internet who would take a significant amount of time to help a total stranger in need of guidance. You guys have made me sleep easier since prior to this information I was struggling with the idea that my dreams would be over because I screwed up in HS as a stupid kid who fell into the traps of peer pressure. Again thanks a whole bunch for all of your comments I'll be sure to post again if I ever have any more questions

Go to the school where you think you'll do the best...where you feel comfortable, like you fit in, and where the environment is condusive to you doing well.
And, then do really well...Try to get all As or as close to it as possible. Do whatever you have to do to do this. If you're struggling in a class, use the TA's and go to every tutoring session, etc. Don't just give up!
Be involved in school activities...get some leadership positions, try to be on student government. Do volunteer work.
MAKE CONNECTIONS WITH YOUR PROFESSORS! Don't just go to class and never see them again. Keep in touch and make a positive impression, so that they'll be references later!
Study hard for the LSAT, etc...

Not trying to revive a dead thread, but I just got more notices and if I also add Boston University and Carnegie Mellon University to the mix what would the general consensus be?
My other schools were
CUNY City college Honors college
Vassar College
New York University
Fordham University
Binghamton (very unlikely)

No worries -- four days does not make a dead thread. Ten days probably makes a dead thread, but not four.
Boston University and Carnegie Mellon University to the mix what would the general consensus be?
My opinion is essentially the same. A school with a lot of prestige certainly helps, but not as much as undergrads or people appying to college think.
Carnegie Mellon, NYU, and Vassar certainly carry a lot of prestige. Boston, and Binghamton (although I know less about Binghamton) are very well regarded. Fordham and CUNY Honors college aren't as well known, but they'll still get you in anywhere if you do well enough.
You might really like Boston U or Carnegie Mellon. Boston is obviously an incredible city in which to live, but it's also really expensive.
Pittsburgh, it might surprise you to know, is an awesome city. It's really cheap (think $300 or so to share a two bedroom apt), and you don't have to own a car (it's a bigger pain, in fact, if you do own a car). Plus it has a huge student population, between the Univ of Pittsburgh and CMU. It was named by the FBI as the safest city over a million people last year. It's actually quite an architectually stunning city, especially in Oakland, where CMU and the Univ of Pitt are located. And I've found Pittsburgh to be a really fun city, as well. If you are inclined, you might want to visit CMU. You might really like it.

The Newseum in Washington, D.C., opened a brand-new exhibit Thursday that's, well, kind of a big deal.
"Anchorman: The Exhibit" is entirely dedicated to the comedic film franchise which, as fans will recall, features funnyman Will Ferrell as San Diego-based, 1970s-era newsman Ron Burgundy.
Hence, it's appropriate the exhibit be housed in the Newseum, a museum known for its extensive collection of artifacts dedicated to journalism and the news business.
According to Newseum officials, "Anchorman: The Exhibit" features props, costumes and footage from the 2004 "Anchorman" film. This includes a recreation of the KVWN-TV anchor desk and news set and costumes (think polyester leisure suits) worn by the Channel 4 Evening News Team.
Also on display: the original "jazz flute" prop played gloriously and effortlessly by Ron Burgundy during one of the film's most memorable scenes.
The whip used by rival anchorman Arturo Mendez during the movie's fight scene between rival news teams can also been seen at the exhibit.
In addition to the displays, visitors can step in front of the camera themselves and participate in an "Anchorman"-themed TV spot at one of the Newseum's "Be a TV Reporter" stations.
As the camera rolls, Burgundy's voice provides a snappy newsman-type introduction, and fans can live out their dream of being part of the Channel 4 crew. News Team, assemble!
If that's not enough to leave fans in a "glass case of emotion" and state of excitement, the exhibit also includes clips from the movie and special commentary by Ferrell.
Luckily, fans have plenty of time to check it out, as museum officials say the exhibit will remain open through August 31, 2014.
The exhibit comes in anticipation of the upcoming sequel, "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," which hits theaters on Dec. 20.
Over the spring and summer, the "Anchorman" crew was in San Diego filming the sequel. In May, a casting call for movie extras yielded a huge turnout, followed by filming at SeaWorld San Diego, where Ron Burgundy himself took the spotlight.
For fun, check out the official trailer for "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" below. You stay classy, San Diego.

Old project management qualifications like Prince2 will eventually die out due to the social business trend, collaboration tool provider Projectplace has predicted.
This is because traditional project management structures are somewhat rigid, where performance against targets are only measured after the fact, whereas the social way of working is flexible and more responsive to changes that naturally occur over a project lifetime, according to Johan Zetterstrom, CEO of Projectplace.
He said: "We think traditional project management qualifications like Prince2 will go away. We believe a project is something that you iterate, go back and change, iterate and change. It is not going to follow the old structures."
For such, 'social', projects to be successful, transparency is needed, Zetterstrom said: "[The key thing is] the ability to share and be open and transparent. You need to have all stakeholders be very transparent and [realise that] not all talent is within your company's firewalls."
Projectplace believes that organisations that do not adapt to the social business trend will struggle to find the talent and skills they need.
Graduates coming out of university and young people entering the job market today expect to have access to similar tools to Facebook, LinkedIn and Skype.
If firms do not enable access to such collaborative tools, they will bring their own devices to work, which can create further risks to the organisation, Zetterstrom said, such as having confidential information being leaked out of the business.
But more than a technological change is required. A culture shift – which Zetterstrom recognised as a potential challenge in the move to social – to being more open and transparent is needed.
He added: "We believe the hierarchy will be much more flat if you embrace social business."
What will not change, however, is the significance of the governance model. Zetterstrom believed this needs to be as robust as ever to avoid the problems associated with expanding an organisation's boundaries to include external stakeholders.
"We are not saying the governance models will be less important. We believe it will be even more important," he insisted.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. –Adding some depth behind the plate, Lipscomb baseball head coach Jeff Forehand has signed junior college catcher Chucky Vazquez for the 2015 season.
"Chucky is a great addition to our school and to our team," said Forehand. "He will be a solid player both offensively & defensively. Behind the plate he gives us a player with junior college experience that will make help him to make an immediate impact on our team. He has a great attitude and work ethic which will allow him to improve every day and we are excited to add him to our baseball family."
A 40th round selection in the 2012 Major League Baseball amateur draft by the Milwaukee Brewers, Vazquez turned down an offer to play for the Brew Crew to head to Broward College in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The Plantation, Florida native capped off his 2-year stint with the Seahawks by earning first-team All-Southern Conference honors this past spring.
Named one of the top 200 junior college prospects in the country by Perfect Game, Vazquez hit .321 with five doubles, five home runs and 27 RBIs en route to the league honor. The backstop also gunned down 13 would-be base stealers in 2014. As a freshman in 2013, Vazquez hit .318 four doubles, one triple, two home runs and 27 RBIs in 28 games of action.
As a prepster at American High School, Vazquez helped lead the Patriots to the state finals in 2010 and earned first-team All-Miami Dade County by the Miami Herald and Sun Sentinel as a senior.

This is some testing equipment inside Sharp's new LCD plant in Sakai City. The rest of the facility doesn't look quite as ominous though. In fact, it kinda resembles an air traffic center with some robots tossed in for fun.
Eco-friendly is the general theme of Sharp's facility because it's all about creating and saving energy. From the energy-conserving LCD displays and solar panels being produced to the technology being used around the actual factory, Mama Nature's got plenty to smile about here.
Ok, maybe the whole place is a bit eerie with those hallways, but did anyone really think that LCDs would be built in a cheery-looking factory?

INFOGRAPHIC: The Conservative Civil War Over Donald Trump
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Conservative pundits are bickering over Donald Trump's campaign, especially after National Review's "Against Trump" issue and the backlash it engendered. On one side are pundits who want to stop Trump's candidacy in its tracks. On the other are conservatives who are lauding Trump's candidacy, even if they have not officially endorsed him. Media Matters breaks down exactly who is on which side (click for the full-sized image):

Budget chief: State facing $365 million deficit
Hartford - Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's budget director confirmed Wednesday that the state's budget deficit has grown to about $365 million, requiring the governor to submit a deficit-cutting plan to the General Assembly.
In testimony before the legislature's Appropriations Committee, Benjamin Barnes said the new figure includes declines in expected state revenues and increased spending for Medicaid services. Barnes said the Office of Policy and Management has already begun work on a deficit-cutting plan for Malloy's consideration.
"While I'm not prepared today to address any elements that might or might not be included in that plan, you can expect that we will announce specifics as soon as possible," he said. Malloy has said he would not support raising taxes to cover the budget gap.
Meanwhile, Barnes said, his office will release new budget projections on Nov. 20.
Republican legislative leaders have accused the Democratic administration of trying to downplay the extent of the state's deficit. On Monday, Malloy told the Hartford Courant that it was "a little premature" to be discussing a deficit. The fiscal year ends on June 30.
Malloy said the state could receive a revenue influx if wealthy state residents sell off stocks and report capital gains before any federal income tax increases kick in on Jan. 1. There is a debate in Washington over whether to extend tax cuts from President George W. Bush's era for wealthier taxpayers.
Barnes said Wednesday that it's possible the state may receive additional revenue. At the end of 2010, when there was also uncertainty about the tax rates, Connecticut residents reported a very large amount of capital gains and dividend income that led to a budget surplus, he said.
"We've not counted on that revenue, although I'm hopeful that when we revisit it in January, we will see evidence that that phenomenon has occurred and be able to forecast that revenue. For now, it is a possibility," he said.
The GOP was upset last week when Barnes announced that the latest estimates from the legislative and executive branch budget offices showed that Connecticut's tax revenues had fallen by $52.7 million since April, when the last revenue estimates were released.
House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, accused the administration of trying to "put lipstick on a pig" and said it should have revealed the total deficit figure. Cafero contends the state is in "very difficult fiscal shape."
Barnes has said the slumping revenue figures are "not surprising given the continued sluggishness of the national economic recovery."
During Wednesday's hearing, Barnes said the General Fund, the state's largest account, is currently short by about $260 million. He attributed it to growth in the Medicaid program, explaining how caseloads have increased, in addition to spending on hospital and nursing home care.

To complete this workout, you will need a bench, tubing and a swiss ball. I have "lovingly" named this exercise series the "double whammy," because the inner thigh muscles are attacked by the tubing and the swiss ball at the same time.
See more exercises here.
How to do it
Begin by threading the tubing under the bench, and having a seat at the edge of the bench. Attach the tubing to your feet by sliding the handles over your toes. Once the tubing has been attached, roll down through the spine and position yourself so your head is supported by the bench. Draw the knees into the chest and then extend the legs straight up into the air.
Remember, it is important to maintain a neutral spine and pelvis throughout these exercises, so think about engaging the deep core muscles to stabilize the torso and pelvis in a neutral position while performing the exercises. Beginners can modify this series by eliminating the tubing.
Step 1. Catch
Holding the swiss ball at chest level, open the legs out to the side in a controlled motion. Toss the ball upward with a chest press motion and catch the ball with the ankles. As you catch the ball with the ankles, be sure to squeeze the ball as tightly as you can. After squeezing the ball, open the legs and allow the ball to drop back into the hands. After completing 12 reps, move on to Step 2. Finish the last rep holding the ball between the ankles.
Step 2. "Thigh Master"
Bend the knees and move the legs into table top position. Maximally squeeze the ball with the ankles, as you squeeze the knees toward each other. Complete 12 repetitions and move on to Step 3.
Step 3.
Leg Squeeze and Press
Keeping the pelvis in a neutral position, straighten the legs out at an angle as you squeeze the inner thighs tightly. (If the back is arching, your legs are positioned too low to perform this exercise safely. As you continue to contract the inner thighs, return the legs to the table top position. Complete 12 repetitions.
How long: Each exercise will be performed for 12 reps and you should flow from one exercise into the next. Complete 1 to 3 sets of this series.
Nutrition tip: The heat and humidity of the summer months endured in the South often leave us yearning for light and refreshing treats. While homemade lemonade and ice cold watermelon may come to mind, try frozen grapes. Frozen grapes are light, refreshing and surprisingly sweet. Simply wash and pat grapes dry. Place the grapes in a freezer bag and allow them to sit in the freezer for a couple of hours.

Scott Chandler is returning as the Buffalo Bills' starting tight end for a fourth consecutive season.
The Bills announced Thursday that they have agreed to terms with Chandler on a new contract. It's a two-year pact, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.
More of a red-zone specialist under Chan Gailey, Chandler established career highs in receptions (53) and yards (655) in 2013, his first season with coach Doug Marrone.
Although Chandler's starting job appear to be safe, Buffalo's No. 9 selection is a popular mock draft spot for North Carolina's John Mackey Award semifinalist, Eric Ebron.
Regardless of whether the Bills address the position in the first round, they are likely to add a playmaking "move" tight end to inject speed and athleticism into EJ Manuel's fledgling aerial attack.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" recaps the wild start of free agency.

Colts coach Chuck Pagano is finished with chemotherapy and eyeing a return to the sideline at the end of the season.
Pagano, who has missed most of the season while being treated for leukemia, had his final chemotherapy treatment today. His doctor told the Indianapolis Star afterward that depending on how Pagano is feeling, he believes it is reasonable to think the coach could resume coaching for the regular-season finale against the Texans on December 30.
"I'm fully supportive and I have my fingers crossed that he'll be there on the sideline if that's where he wants to be," Dr. Larry Cripe said. "He's received all of the chemotherapy he was to receive. Now it's just a matter of over the next couple of weeks recovering back to health. He can start conditioning and moving towards what he wants to do, which is return to coaching."
Cripe stressed that it's no sure thing that Pagano will be feeling up to coaching before the end of the year. But there seems to be increasing optimism out of Indianapolis that Pagano will take the reins back from interim head coach Bruce Arians at the end of the year. And into the playoffs.

Distribution board for Ex gas compressor
The explosion protected Exde distribution board is designed for temperature control and power supply for an explosion protected gas compressor.
The distribution board will be installed in a Zone 1 environment. It meets the classification II 2G Ex de IIC T5, and is suitable for an ambient temperature of -20°…+40°C. The degree of protection is IP66. The complete installation is executed in Stainless Steel.
The engineers of STAHL and Electromach have designed the distribution board together. The complete construction and assembly, and testing activities are performed by Electromach.
Due to the cooling issues of the Exd enclosures, this project was very interesting. To prevent too much heat participation in the Exd enclosures, external cooling plates were used. The enclosures were also painted. However due to these external cooling plates it was difficult to get the right thickness of the paint, but it worked.
The whole installation has been used for the Bongkot project in Thailand.
Bongkot Project
In the middle of the Gulf of Thailand, 203km from the coast of Songkhia, the Bongkot Project has been located. The area of 3.824 square kilometers includes more than 330 wells, about 70 exploration wells and 265 development wells, for natural gas production (approx. 604 million cubic meters per day).
At this time phase IV of the project, called Bongkot South, has been realised. Bongkot South has been extended with a production platform, living quarters platform for employees and 13 wellhead platforms.

Carlo Costly celebrates after one of his two goals in Honduras' 2-2 draw with Ecuador on November 19, 2013, at BBVA Compass Stadium, in Houston, Texas. (Photo: FIFA via Getty Images)
HOUSTON – In a battle of 2014 World Cup qualifiers, Carlo Costly scored two goals and Honduras played Ecuador to a 2-2 friendly draw on Tuesday at BBVA Compass Stadium.
The second-half substitute tallied twice during a five-minute stretch to thrust the Catrachos ahead, but Enner Valencia leveled in the 89th minute to complete the scoreline.
Both sides played the latter portions of the second half with only 10 men.
Ecuador's Juan Carlos Paredes was ejected in 76th minute and Wilson Palacios followed with six minutes left in regulation time.
Jaime Ayovi gave the South Americans a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute, using his head to redirect Walter Ayovi's free kick from 23-yards out just inside the right post.
In the 63rd minute, Jerry Palacios laid off an intelligent pass just inside the box for Costly, who was racing down the middle. In stride, the Guizhou Zhicheng forward took a touch and then calmly placed the ball into the lower-right corner of the net.
Four minutes later, the commanding 31-year-old received a long ball on the right side, cut into the box, skillfully froze his defender and curled a sublime shot into upper-left corner from 16 yards.
Just when it appeared that it Honduras would bounce back from 5-0 loss to Brazil a few days earlier, Valencia beat goalkeeper Noel Valladares from 25-yards out with a right-footed rocket to make it 2-2.

Canadian sculptor Melineige Beauregard dug deep inside herself to capture the singles title in America's first All-Women Master Sand Sculpting Championship at Sand Bash on Sunday behind the Holiday Inn on Fort Myers Beach.
Beauregard's art titled, "Reveal Your Inner Child," was the judge's favorite among the 10 sculptures at the event, a creative process that began with a near washout on Friday and totaled 24 hours of carving after seven hours of sand buildup. Edith Van de Wetering of the Netherlands placed second with "The Best Way To Cheer Yourself Up Is To Cheer Someone Else Up," and Kali Bradford of Sequim, Washington took third with "Love Me, Love Me Not." Van de Wetering's art also netted the Sculptor's Choice award.
For the Quebec resident, inspiration for the sculpture came from a simple idea. The win gained her the Blanche E. Swope Gold Cup, named for the grandmother of Co-Event Producer Marianne Knight, who was a breast cancer survivor before passing from an unrelated illness.

Melineige Beauregard took top honors among 10 sculptors at America's first All-Women Master Sand Sculpting Championship at Sand Bash.
"I believe we all have a child inside ourselves," Beauregard said. "When you reveal it, you will be more happy and beautiful."
Beauregard, who is also an accomplished ice and snow sculptor and is involved in ice sculpting Saturday evening, believes sand sculpting is a spiritual experience. She is the daughter of renowned sculptor Guy Beauregard. The two teamed up to win the World Championship in doubles in 2004.
"An artist is one who spiritualizes matter," she wrote in her bio. "For me, art is a means of communication, a way to transmit the energy of life, to affirm its vastness and its beauty."
Sand Bash continues to entertain until Sunday, April 14. During the week, the top women's sculptors will be involved in chainsaw art, quicksand speed sculpting competitions, demonstrations, lessons, ice sculpting and the doubles division championship, which will pit two-woman teams competing for the title. Completion and judging will take place Sunday. The People's Choice award for the singles division will be announced that day as well.
Thanks were given to the local volunteers, including members of the Kiwanis Club, Teen Challenge and Susan G. Komen for the Cure of Southwest Florida, the event sponsor. Proceeds are going to those groups.
"Ninety-five percent of whatever (Susan G. Komen for the Cure of Southwest Florida) takes in stays local," said Co-Event Producer Bill Knight of The Sand Lovers, LLC.
The continuing event, which features a fenced-in area for the sculptures, kid's activity area and food and drink stands for a $5 fee, also has a vendor village near the entrance while supporting breast cancer awareness. Five of the competing women hail from the U.S. while two came from the Netherlands and one each from Australia, Latvia and Canada.
Sand Bash will also hold an amateur contest this Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Go to www.sandbash.com/amateur2012.htm for more details or www.sandbash.com for general information.

Fosamax and Tooth Extraction
My mother is 89 years old. She has taken Fosamax as an osteoporosis preventive for well over 10, maybe close to 20 years. We stopped her use in January/February of this year as part of a process where we discontinued one medication at a time to see why she was regurgitating after every meal. This was along with a round of consults with a gastroenterologist. Upshot on the regurgitation seems to be a hiatal hernia that comes and goes. Best control of the regurgitation seems to be small, frequent meals spaced at least 2 hours apart and avoiding coffee and some other foods.
My mother has a lifetime of dental woes. At this point my mother has 7 natural teeth left in the front arch of her lower jaw, a full upper denture and a partial lower one that has wings extending out from the 7 remaining natural front teeth. She had some gum pain last October and wasnât wearing one of the dentures (I forget which one) and we took her to a dentist who removed some material from one of the dentures and made it comfortable for her again. He wanted to remake the dentures â estimate was close to $3500 – $4000 for both.
We stared with a new dentist in February who says the dentures are still serviceable and that preservation of the 7 teeth and the nubs of 3 former teeth that have been left to help anchor/locate the dentures is of greater importance than new dentures. She agrees that the regurgitation and possible acidic content of it may be contributing to the weakening of these remaining teeth. She started on a program of prescription strength fluoride toothpaste; fluoride based mouthwash, and cleaning and cavity repair of the 7 teeth.
In the meantime, the top of tooth # broke off in two separate incidents between March and May 2010. This dentist wants to pull whatâs left of the tooth. She said a root canal and cap could be done â about $1800 to $2000 but it wouldnât last, as whatâs left of the tooth is fairly weak.
My sister-in-law said she has been told that people on Fosamax are a great risk for jawbone necrosis when teeth are pulled. I checked the Internet and that seems to be the case, but most references are sources about 4, 5 or more years ago. What is the latest thinking on this? We have put off the tooth pulling 2x times â dentist has become a little put off and has referred my mother to a tooth extraction specialist instead.
One internet resource I checked said a CTX test is important â I mentioned this to my motherâs internal medicine doctor at her July 2010 checkup she had a NX test done instead she said thatâs the Cleveland Clinic equivalent.
Question: can the tooth extraction dentist use this NX result? How risky is the tooth extraction for my mother?
This topic is of intense interest to the millions of Americans who use oral bisphosphonate medications to control osteoporosis. Unfortunately, there is still no clear answer to the question: can serum CTX levels be used to determine a patient's risk for developing the complication of jaw osteonecrosis following tooth extraction? Studies and opinion for both sides of this issue have been published, but no consensus has been reached.
The latest, published this month in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, showed that patients using bisphosphonates (both intravenous forms for the control of bone cancer and oral forms for osteoporosis) with pre-surgical CTX levels less than 150 picogram/milliter of serum were statistically more likely to develop osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) than patients with levels greater than 150 picogram/ml. Most patients who developed ONJ, however, were cancer patients, a result that confirms previous studies that have shown their risk for ONJ is much higher than for osteoporosis patients. The authors of this most recent study wisely stated, however, that CTX serum level is not (at least not yet) a definitive predictor for the development of ONJ.

(posted January 2019) Jo Ellis-Monaghan, Mathematics and Statistics Department chair and professor of mathematics and statistics, was invited to share her experience of many years running an undergraduate research group (jointly with Greta Pangborn in the Computer Science Department) in the Mathematical Association of America Project NExT Panel Session, "Engaging Students in Undergraduate Research: The Role of Effective Advising." Project NExT is professional development program for new or recent Ph.D.s in the mathematical sciences. She also helped organize the annual international 'Summer Combo in Vermont' conference on July 14, when the College welcomed more than 50 mathematicians to campus. Jo Ellis-Monaghan, professor and chair of mathematics, joined with her colleague Greta Pangborn of the computer science faculty to run the "Summer Combo in Vermont" conference, which focuses upon the field of study of combinatorics. Saint Michael's students under the direction of Jo and Greta were among presenters of posters at that conference: Jessica Greene, David Perry and Brenna Smith joined another in presenting "Knotted and Unknotted A-trails Embedded on n-Tori." Also, Anna Cook, Alana Houlihan, Rebecca Rouleau were among those presenting "Design Strategies for DNA Self-Assembly." Jo also was an organizer when the Mathematics Department hosted a regional workshop on best practices in teaching calculus, with participants from Harvard, Middlebury, Dartmouth, UConn, and other institutions in the Northeast. Also, Jo and Greta organized a Discrete Math Days of the Northeast conference -- one in a series of one-day conferences supported by the National Security Agency through the Steering Committee, and also by Saint Michaels College. In the past, Discrete Math Days have been held at Bard College, Dartmouth College, Saint Michael's College, Middlebury College, Skidmore College, SUNY Albany, SUNY Binghamton, University of Rhode Island, University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Wesleyan University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and others. Also recently,, Jo and Greta and some of their Saint Michael's students had a paper accepted to the peer-reviewed journal Theoretical Computer Science. Jo also is editor-in-chief of the publication PRIMUS. (posted November 2016) Zsu Kadas, professor of mathematics, gave a presentation entitled "A Short Course in Population Dynamics" at the Spring Meeting of the Northeast Section of the Mathematical Association of America held June 3-4, 2016, at the University of New England in Biddeford, ME. Greta Pangborn, professor of computer science, also attended the meeting along with four Saint Michael's undergraduates, Anna Cook, Jessica Greene, Brenna Smith, and David Perry, who are engaged in summer research on Graph Theory and Self-Assembly of DNA. Zsu also gave a talk entitled "Population Models and the Logistic Equation: the Importance of Being Discrete" in the Applied Mathematics session at the XXIII Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference held on April 2, 2016 at Saint Michael's College. (posted June 2016) Greta Pangborn, associate professor of computer science, and Jo Ellis-Monaghan, professor of mathematics, on July 21, 2015, hosted the conference "Summer Combo in Vermont" on the Saint Michael's College campus. The (more or less) annual small and informal conference brings together regional cominatorics scholars "for a day of collaboration, congeniality and an opportunity to learn about one another's investigations," including talks, speakers and poster presentations. Other organizers with Jo and Greta were Melanie Brown of Champlain College and Christino Tamon of Clarkson University. Combinatorics is the branch of mathematics dealing with combinations of objects belonging to a finite set in accordance with certain constraints, such as those of graph theory. (posted September 2015)
