The Maxwell Street Market: Fading Chicago Landmark Fights Recession on Economy's Frontlines
November 15, 2010 Leave a comment
By Ben Craig, Len Kody and Nicholas Moroni
Bobbie Henry, of Chicago, began selling handmade jewelry and art pieces at the original Maxwell Street Market in 1976. She relocated to the new Maxwell Street Market, on Canal, in 1994. Today, she has a booth on a prime spot at the market's latest location, on Desplaines, just north of Roosevelt.
Henry's next move is a commentary on the market's current, diminished state and its uncertain future. "Another thing that's fading me out of this," Henry explained, "is I'm going on eBay with most of my art."
Many of the people who bought and sold goods at the original market say that its current incarnation, sanctioned and organized by the City of Chicago's Mayor's Office of Special Events, hardly measures up.
"I was selling leather clothes and bags [on Maxwell, and on Canal]. I would make $3,000 every Sunday." Henry lamented, "Now, I only make $200 or $300."
Longtime Maxwell Street patron Frank Kam remembers the old market before "the university took over." It had "the smell of polish sausage and onions floating around."
Sal Villarreal, a Streets and Sanitation worker who works the present-day market, remembers going to the Maxwell Street Market when he was younger, in the 1970s, and said it was "a lot more livelier than this."
"The feeling of the city is gone with this market," Villarrea explained. "This is the smallest I've seen the market."
"The other market was better," he concluded.
A Rich Chicago History
"Maxwell Street was one of the only places I knew where people socialized across race and class," said Roosevelt University Economics Professor Steve Balkin. Balkin led an opposition movement against UIC's city-backed demolition of the area where the original Maxwell Street Market once operated.
The market began in 1871, and was largely comprised of poor, Eastern European Jews, according to the book, "Voices of America: Jewish Maxwell Street Stories." It soon became, and would remain, a melting pot of cultures, following the northern migration of southern blacks in the early 1900s, as the book notes.
For decades, people came to "Jewtown" (a term that many claim has no prejudicial undertones, and was used widely throughout the market's history) to haggle for bargains or to supplement their incomes by selling goods of all kinds.
Some feel the market was also a supposed breeding ground for the sale of stolen merchandise. "It's a problem with any flea market," Balkin said. "Were there crooks on Maxwell Street? Yes. Are there crooks in the city council? Yes."
Tradition in Trouble
Fewer people come to shop at today's market, according to data from the Office of Special Events. The sprawling individualism of the old market is gone, and with it, the overall freedom.
"I miss the freedom," said vendor Vince Hernandez, of Chicago, as he haggled with a prospective customer over the price of 1,000 feet of packaging tape.
Bobbie Henry agrees. "This is too organized and too monopolized," she lamented.
Rick Brunious, whose days as a street merchant date back 50 years, stood behind a row of Kirby 2000 Limited Edition vacuum cleaners propped up on a table while he spoke. At the old Maxwell Street Market, Brunois slept overnight to reserve his spot – that survival-of-the-fittest type behavior was necessary in order to operate there – as other vendors would steal the spots.
Today, the spots are assigned and vendors pay $65, weekly, to hawk their goods, more than double the $25 cost at the old market. The increased overhead squeezes vendors in an already tight economy.
Parking is also a major issue. Merchants and patrons who drive are now forced to pay to park at nearby privatized pay boxes, or at UIC's parking garage – deterrents for many people searching for a bargain at the market.
And, in addition to Maxwell Street Market's sparse parking, Internet auction sites like eBay could pose a very real threat to the survival of flea markets, vendors said.
"It's not good," said Brunious of the day's business. He has a dark outlook on the current Maxwell Street Market's future prospects. "This is going to be gone," he said.
As the sellers and their clientele opt for alternative avenues of commerce, a rich part of Chicago's history may disappear on a little stretch of concrete next to the Dan Ryan Expressway.
"This is valuable property," Brunious observes. "It's near the Loop and then you got all these vacant buildings."
He continues, "If they're vacant, they're going to knock them down one day. And then you know what they're going to do. We probably won't be here."
Reason for Optimism
However, where some remain dismal about the current economic climate, other vendors, like Vince Hernandez, see opportunity.
Hernandez works a booth piled with several roles of tape. "We should be okay," he said. "I just sold a guy two cases of shrink wrap because he's buying a foreclosed home. That's going to be some business."
And Hernandez believes he is well placed, at the Maxwell Street Market, to observe the economy's inevitable recovery.
"When people start buying houses, they're going to buy tape to paint, they'll buy tape to move. Everybody needs tape," he said. "When they start buying more tape, I'll know the economy is getting better."
He added, with unwavering optimism, "Believe me. I'll know."

Carrey and Mr. Limpet
Remember the remake of "The Incredible Mr. Limpet"? Production was begun, but the movie was cancelled. A teaser poster was published and this website:
I have found this on my PC, do you remember this site??
The Incredible Mr. Limpet
Warner Bros. remakes the 1964 comedy that starred Don Knotts as Henry Limpet. In the original, Mr. Limpet, a good but meek fellow turned down by the Navy, dreams of becoming a fish. When his wish comes true, he becomes a Navy hero, helping the U.S. locate Nazi submarines during World War II. In 1964, the aquatic Knotts was an animated cartoon character. In 2000, innovations in animation and special effects technology are sure to update Limpet for the 21st century.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
On Monday deposed Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi was flown from his prison to stand trial for high treason and other suspected crimes. During course of this trial, alliances and connections could be revealed that incriminate foreign powers, in particular the US, that publicly claim to keep their hands clean of terrorist activity.
As Dr. Ashraf Ramelah, president of the Egyptian Christian movement Voice of the Copts, noted in a press statement:
"In a country where no regulation or law exists to govern taping of conversations...judges dismissed by Morsi and now reinstated will be presented with tape recordings of Morsi's discussions with Aymen Al Zawahiri of Al Qaeda."
This damning evidence will likely demonstrate that Morsi collaborated with Al Qaeda, and "if found guilty of conspiring with foreign entities against the welfare of the Egyptian state, Morsi will be assigned the death penalty and, since he is non-military, sentenced to hang," according to Ramelah.
But who else could the trial uncover as co-conspirators?
"Potentially the US administration, the European Union...and others," warned Ramelah. "With the expected court examination of tape recordings and documents, Morsi's backers and supporters will be exposed unless back room deals are brokered in advance."
Ramelah said one of the suspicions the evidence could confirm is that the Obama Administration gave $8 billion to the Muslim Brotherhood to establish a Hamas presence in Sinai.
Another known incident the court will surely focus on is the recent delegation of US Senators who tried to pressure Egypt's interim government into releasing Morsi and reinstalling him as president.
Egyptians initially had nothing but appreciation for America's backing of their pro-democracy revolution that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak. But when Obama then turned around and "aided the Muslim Brotherhood rise to power," said Ramelah, the US began to be viewed as a foreign conspirator against the interests of Egyptians.

Smart Phone
Wakes me in the morning, and I choose not to snooze. Check my emails at breakfast (quicker than firing up the laptop). Weather fine today, but cooling in the week--which is OK because the London Underground has a good service on all lines.
Check the news and tweets sitting on the Central line. Find the client's office with GPS. Call my Mother on the way.
In Starbucks before next meeting and quick notes typed in. Read chapter of Hunger Games using the Kindle application (not great literature but engaging). Tackle a couple of chess puzzles. Get them right: brain clear this morning—always a sign. Check my notes on Evernote. Take a photo of an article in the free Metro so I can look at it later.
Life is a succession of choices, and this helps you to make them. Smart these phones.

The Huntington Beach Lions Club donated the money it raised from selling fireworks during the Fourth of July holiday to nonprofits in the city.
The club gave $5,000 each to the Huntington Beach Therapeutic Riding Center and Huntington Beach Boy Scout Troop 1, said club President Steve Christy.
The Lions Club was one of 10 organizations that was chosen through a lottery to sell "safe and sane" fireworks in the city for the first time in 25 years.
Other organizations threw their names in the hat, including the therapeutic riding center, but were not picked.
Both Christy and riding center President Dave Quatman were at City Hall awaiting the results of the lottery when Quatman suggested to Christy that if his organization got selected he would like to partner together and vice versa.
"As it turns out, they were drawn and we weren't," Quatman said.
But the two worked together, and the therapeutic riding center helped the Lions Club set up the booth, maintain it, secure it and sell fireworks. The Boy Scout troop also helped.
"At the end, the Lions Club was kind enough to write us a check for $5,000," Quatman said.
Founded in the 1990, the therapeutic riding center provides therapy using horses to individuals with a variety of disabilities from autism, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome to learning disabilities, vision and hearing impairments, according to its website.
The Lions Club also donated some money to the Huntington Beach Junior Lifeguards, Christy said.
In total, the Lions Club raised $16,000 from fireworks, which were legalized for a two-year trial period. An attempt by Mayor Don Hansen to place a measure on the November ballot that, if passed, would have prevented the city from banning the sale and discharge of fireworks failed to receive enough votes from the City Council.
Both Christy and Quatman said they saw no problems during the Fourth of July holiday and everything went smoothly, and they hope the city continues to allow the sale of fireworks during the holiday.
"They get in the city one way or another," Christy said. "This way it's legal and the profit comes back to Huntington Beach. It's a win/win."
But others have said lifting the ban on fireworks brought chaos to their neighborhoods and illegal fireworks increased. Law enforcement officials also said their resources were strained and the use of illegal fireworks increased because they were more easily hidden among the legal ones.

Quote from: Maggs on May 01, 2006, 03:40:40 PMI got one a couple days ago--it was an acceptance. Good luck!Did they mention any money over the phone?
Merit-based, I believe. I haven't rcved the Federal Aid stuff yet.Initially offered $10k/yr with no restrictions, then when I told them I was already committed somewhere else, plus had a better offer from UVA, was asked how much they could offer to get me to change my mind. So my take is that it's still negotiable.HTH.
How much would it take for you to change your mind and go to Vanderbilt vs Boston?

Katy Perry Messes With the Bull on L'Uomo Vogue Cover
Ole! Pop diva Katy Perry has added yet another head-turning cover to her ever-expanding global portfolio of magazine speads and features. She is now appearing on the cover of the July/August edition of L'Uomo Vogue, dressed as a matador, complete with a fancy, ornate and embroidered jacket. If you mess with the bull, you're going to get the horns. If you mess with Perry, you're going to get that sexy stare.
This cover is stark thematic contrast to the singer's Hollywood Reporter cover, but it's every bit as gorgeous and glam. It's like her DNA prevents her from ever looking ordinary.
For the striking cover of the Italian edition of the fashion bible, she's rocking serious finger waves and looks ready to grab her red blanket and taunt the bull. Charge! She could tame a ripping and snorting bull with those bedroom eyes, though.
In the accompanying spread, Perry has ditched her fluffy, candy-coated and confectionary style in favor of a variety of classic, '20s style looks as well as a futuristic one. The shot where she's rocking a militaristic uniform is both modern and "vintage," while the image of her with sunglasses and a chin strap is both futuristic and somewhat dominatrix-style, as well.
Perry also reminds us a bit of actress Louis Brooks with her dark, cropped, severely bobbed hair and that dark, smoldering painted pout.

BRENTWOOD — A Brentwood woman died early Wednesday morning, more than a week after the car she was driving ran her over, police said.
The woman was identified by the Contra Costa County Coroner as 72-year-old Jaclynn Quadros.
According to police, Quadros drove into the driveway of her residence in the 600 block of Heather Place on July 16 after returning from errands, and though she stopped her car she failed to put it in park.
The car then rolled backward down a slight incline as she was getting out of the vehicle, and she fell, police said. The car then continued rolling over her.
She suffered major injuries and was airlifted to a hospital, where she remained until she died from her injuries around 1:20 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

About Eyeglasses
Choosing the right eyeglasses often depends on individual traits such as hair color, face size and even the type of vision correction you need.
If you have an unusually wide face, for example, you may need to shop around for extra-large eyeglass frames. On the other hand, smaller faces may require a petite frame size.
Unusually strong corrections also can make lenses look thick or distorted when eyeglass frames are oversized.

Needy people can use your old eyewear, whether it's reading glasses, sunglasses or prescription eyeglasses.
For example, a rough-and-tumble teenager who engages in all manner of outdoor activities will have far different needs for eyeglasses than an office worker who spends hours at a desk.
Active people also may need to consider extra eye protection such as sports or safety goggles. For those who love fashion, designer eyeglasses with embellishments such as crystals and logos are a fun option.
If you have reached your 40s, you will need to consider different eyeglass options for correcting near vision problems caused by presbyopia such as:
- Progressive lenses
- Bifocals or trifocals
- Occupational lenses
- Reading glasses
- Computer glasses
In some cases, you may need different pairs of eyeglasses depending on whether you are driving down the highway or sitting indoors in front of a computer screen.
Your eye doctor or optician can advise you about the right fit for you, as well as discuss coatings and tints that can help you see your best in different circumstances such as low lighting at dusk.

Southern California's housing market improved a bit in April, with sales rising more than usual from March while slipping below the 2013 level by the smallest margin in six months, a market tracker said Tuesday.
Last month, 20,008 new and resale houses and condos sold in the six-county region, up 13 percent from 17,638 sales in March but down 7 percent from 21,415 sales in April 2013, said La Jolla-based DataQuick.
The increase between March and April has averaged 1 percent since 1988, when DataQuick began tracking the market. Sales have fallen on a year-over-year basis for seven months in a row, but April's decline was the smallest since a 4 percent decrease last October, the company said.
The statewide median price increased 13 percent, to $404,000 from $357,000 a year ago, the lowest year-over-year gain since September 2012.
"The housing market's pulse quickened a bit in April. If the inventory grows more, which we consider likely, it's going to make it a lot easier for sales to reach at least an average level, which we haven't seen in more than seven years," said DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage. "There's still pressure on home prices, but it has moderated."
In Los Angeles County, the median price increased 12 percent — to $441,000 from $395,000 a year earlier — and sales fell 7 percent to 6,642 properties, from 7,140 a year earlier.
In San Bernardino County, the median price increased 23 percent, to $240,000 from $195,000 a year earlier, with sales down 3 percent, to 2,434 from 2,512.
While sales displayed a bit more vigor last month, they were 17 percent below the 24,133 April average. That was 10 percentage points better than March, which itself was 27 percent below the average for that month.
LePage is encouraged by the improvement between March and April. "I think there are some good signs in the (sales) number in terms of being up more than usual from March, and we are seeing the decrease narrow from a year ago quite a bit, so it's moving in the right direction," he said. "Part of it is the increase in inventory. There are just more homes available."
The market is now a mixed bag of conditions. Demand is building, as is job creation. But rising prices have eroded affordability, and credit underwriting remains tight.
Robert Kleinhenz, chief economist at the Kyser Center for Economic Research in Los Angeles, sees inventory as the sticking point.
"It seems to me that the concern right now is the housing market stalling out, and if so, what would be the reasons behind that? I think it continues to be a supply issue that is holding the market back," he said. "It's premature to think the recovery in the housing market is being snuffed out. It still has room to improve."
In a separate report, the California Association of Realtors on Tuesday reported that housing affordability declined across the state in the first quarter as home prices rose.
In the first three months of this year, 33 percent of home purchasers in the state could afford to buy the median-priced home, down from 44 percent a year ago, said the Los Angles-based trade association. Buyers needed to earn a minimum annual income of $86,419 to qualify for the purchase of a median priced home costing $416,720 between January and March, the association said.
Part of that dynamic could soon change because prices have not moved much from the level they reached in May 2013.
And Kleinhenz notes that affordability is still well above the record low of 11 percent reached in the second and third quarters of 2007, a time of higher prices and interest rates.
"The bottom line is we're looking at very lean numbers on the supply side," he said.

"Havana showed us what we were hoping to see," said Pletcher of the Dunkirk colt. "It was a challenge for sure going from a 5 ½-furlong maiden to a Grade 1 going a mile. We're very satisfied with his performance."
Pletcher said that Intense Holiday, fifth in the Foxwoods Champagne, Jack Milton and Notacatbutallama, third and fourth, respectively, in the Grade 1 Jamaica, and Stopchargingmaria, who finished third in the Grade 1 Frizette, also returned in fine fettle.
• Trainer Mike Hushion on Sunday confirmed that Artemis Agrotera is bound for the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies on November 2 at Santa Anita after winning Saturday's Grade 1 Frizette by 1 ¼ lengths over Sweet Reason, who veered in sharply at the start.
"We're going [to the Breeders' Cup] until she tells us 'No,'" said Hushion. "It's as simple as that. She was a little strong in the paddock yesterday, so we'll get out there and do some schooling."
• Foxwoods Champagne runner-up Honor Code could see action again this year, but most likely it will be at Aqueduct Racetrack, not Santa Anita Park, Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey said Sunday morning.
"I'll watch him and see," he said of the 2-year-old A. P. Indy colt, who is owned by Lane's End Racing and Dell Ridge Farm. "I'm not real inclined to go to the Breeders' Cup with him."
McGaughey hopes to be represented in next month's Breeders' Cup with multiple Grade 1 winner Point of Entry, who breezed five furlongs in 1:02.88 over Belmont's main track on Saturday, his fourth work since returning to training on September 14.
"I'm hoping [Hall of Fame jockey] Johnny Velazquez will be back from Keeneland next Sunday to work him on the turf, and go from there," said McGaughey.
• Grade 1 winner Sweet Reason, who overcame an awkward start to finish a closing second as the favorite in Saturday's Grade 1 Frizette, emerged from her effort in good shape, trainer Leah Gyarmati said Sunday.
"She came out great. She cleaned her tub and didn't leave an oat," said Gyarmati. "She went out in the round pen and was staring at the track, wondering why she's not training today. She looks good."
The one-mile Frizette was the first loss in three starts for Sweet Reason, a juvenile daughter of Street Sense who won twice at Saratoga Race Course this summer.
Both of those races came over sloppy, sealed tracks, making the Frizette her first start on a dry, fast track. Under jockey Alex Solis, Sweet Reason ducked to her left coming out of post position 1, costing her several lengths.
The Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita Park on November 2 remains the target for Sweet Reason, who Gyarmati trains for owner Treadway Racing Stable.
Gyarmati has no definite plans for impressive debut winner Noble Moon, who went gate-to-wire in his unveiling for a three-quarter length victory on September 14 at Belmont Park at odds of 25-1.

Gov. Jerry Brown has contended for months that the state could reduce severe overcrowding in the state's prisons through creative management, without releasing felons that might endanger the public.
Federal judges who have been pressuring California gave Brown a big victory Monday by acknowledging the reductions to date and giving the state two more years to reach the population goal of 137.5 percent of design capacity.
The state is about 5,500 inmates above that level now, but the sharp inmate drop of the past few years, 27,000, would seem to make the goal a piece of cake.
There are, however, caveats in the three-judge panel's order, and there's continuing political angst over what the state is doing to reduce overcrowding.

The judges told Brown that he cannot ship more inmates to out-of-state prisons, and ordered immediate adoption of looser parole standards for ill, elderly and low-risk inmates.
Brown has maintained that he would not agree to wholesale inmate releases, but the state has already loosened up parole standards somewhat and would go further under the order.
Therefore, some older felons who've spent decades behind bars for heinous crimes would, in fact, be freed on assumption that they pose no risk.
The centerpiece of inmate reduction has been "realignment" under which felons deemed to pose minimal risk are diverted into local supervision and rehabilitation programs aimed at reducing a historically high rate of recidivism.
The state has seen an uptick in crime rates lately, and critics of realignment say it's because thousands of felons who otherwise would have been locked up are roaming the streets, and local sheriffs are freeing lesser miscreants to make room for felons.
State officials insist that realignment is blameless in the crime spurt, and are backed by pro-realignment groups such as the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, which sees "no conclusive trends demonstrating a causal relationship between realignment and crime."
But Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich, a harsh critic, said in a recent letter to the editor that "of the 19,000 offenders shifted to probation supervision in Los Angeles County, 24,742 arrests were made for new offenses," and he's backed by the anti-realignment Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, which cites crimes as serious as murder being committed by "realigned felons."
A new analysis by the Public Policy Institute of California declares, "Strong evidence suggests that changes in incarceration caused by realignment increased property crime somewhat, especially motor vehicle thefts, but finds no evidence that the most serious crimes, murder and rape, have increased as a result of realignment."
As Brown tries to obey the courts, therefore, the political controversy shows no signs of abating.

New Brunswick Advertising and Marketing Graduate Programs (On-Campus)
In marketing graduate programs, students learn how to conduct analysis and apply marketing theory and technique to campaigns across industries and cultures. In master's degree programs, they might develop their skills as managers and leaders, and in doctorate degree programs, their focus may be on becoming educators of the future generation of marketing professionals.
At the graduate level of education, students enhance their basic marketing knowledge and skill set and broaden their knowledge to include more nuanced areas of marketing, such as digital marketing, marketing analytics, or international advertising. They do so in a bricks and mortar classrooms with their classmates and professors in an on-campus setting.
Why Pursue a Marketing and Advertising Degree on Campus?
Marketing and advertising professionals interact with people on a regular basis. In general, this creative and innovative crew is one comprising people-persons and professionals who want to communicate as successfully as possible. Therefore, having the skills to listen, speak clearly, and interact with a variety of types of people is key. In the classroom, interacting with classmates and professors can help you develop these critical skills.
At the graduate level of education, students also commonly develop their skills as leaders and managers. By navigating team dynamics on group projects and applying newly learned skills in the flesh, students can begin to develop who they are as leaders and collaborators.
On-campus marketing and advertising programs offer students access to clubs and other groups geared toward students' professional interests. A student studying international marketing might join a cultural club, for example, while a student pursuing a digital marketing degree might join a technology club. This type of engagement can help students deepen their learning and
broaden the ways in which they apply their knowledge.
Lastly, students in on-campus marketing graduate programs may benefit from face-to-face, in-person learning with classmates and professors. For some people, being able to ask questions, take advantage of professor's office hours, and discuss materials with classmates in person allows for a richer experience. And, having a specific schedule and a requirement to be on campus at certain times might provide the structure and support that some students need.
Did You Know?
Because professionals in the field strive to appeal to people, marketing has a decidedly social science side. As such, many on-campus programs have labs in which students work together to discover human phenomena that impact the marketing process.
Marketing vs Advertising: What's the Difference and What Can I Expect from a Program?
Keep in mind that advertising is a component of marketing. Marketing includes a broad range of methodologies, venues, and formats designed to promote ideas, sell products, establish brand awareness, and otherwise extend messages to a broader audience. Advertising, meanwhile, is just one of many marketing methods that employs print, television, or radio to sell a product or idea.
Marketing and advertising degree programs are therefore slightly distinct. In many cases, schools combine marketing and advertising curricula. Students might take just one or two courses in advertising as a part of their marketing degree, or they might concentrate their studies in advertising and take numerous courses in the subject.
Types of Marketing Degrees at the Graduate-level of Education
At the graduate level of education, students can pursue a graduate certificate, which takes six months to one year to earn; a master's degree, which takes up to two years to earn; or a doctorate degree, which takes four to five years to earn. Each of these levels of education has on-campus options.
Certificate programs in marketing typically include four to seven courses. These are designed to help students specialize their knowledge in a specific area of marketing and/or advertising or to introduce them to the fields. For students who only have the resources to devote six months to one-year to on-campus education, this could be a great option.
Master's degree programs in marketing typically include ten to fifteen courses. These are designed to have students study marketing broadly or an area of marketing, such as advertising or analytics, in depth. A master's degree in marketing commonly includes curricula to help students develop their management and leadership knowledge and skills.
Doctorate degree programs in marketing typically include 80 to 100 credit hours divided between coursework and research (thereby making it difficult to assess precisely how many courses students have to take as many of the credits might derive from students conducting and presenting research). In these programs, students typically focus on learning how to conduct research and become educators in the field of marketing.
Options for On-Campus Marketing Graduate Programs
At the master's and doctorate degree levels, many on-campus marketing graduate programs offer customizable curricula to enable students to pursue their areas of interest. Students may also be able to concentrate their learning or follow particular tracks of learning. Students might pursue, for example:
- A marketing management degree
- A business and marketing degree
- A sales and marketing degree
- A marketing law degree
Similarly, students might pursue a degree in marketing with an emphasis in a subject such as marketing analytics, consumer behavior, or design. Or they might pursue a degree in a subject such as marketing analytics and focus their learning even more deeply by studying audit analytics, business analytics, or marketing analytics. Students who are business professionals might pursue a Master of Business Administration or Doctor of Business Administration with an emphasis in marketing.
Ultimately, there are numerous options and ways for students to direct their learning at the graduate level of education.
Curricula in On-campus Marketing Graduate Programs
The courses students take in their on-campus marketing graduate programs depends on their focus and type of degree. However, we can give you a sense of some core subjects graduate marketing courses and programs might cover:
- Marketing management
- Consumer analysis and insights
- Branding strategy
- Internet Marketing
- Advertising and promotions
- Marketing analytics
Students might take elective courses in subjects such as:
- Global marketing
- Digital entertainment
- Marketing for entrepreneurs
- Business law and ethics
- Retail strategy
No matter the subject matter, projects and assignments in the classroom are likely to provide real-world experiences, and students in the classroom may be encouraged to interact with students of various backgrounds, nationalities, and interests. Case studies are typically global in nature and cover the spectrum of industries. Individual and group assignments will likely be designed to help students conduct in-depth analyses, think critically, and communicate effectively.
Marketing Degree Requirements
On-campus marketing graduate programs have different requirements depending on the program level.
In certificate programs, students typically complete core and elective courses and do not have to write a cumulative research paper or take a cumulative exam.
At the master's degree level, students typically complete core and elective courses and submit and defend a final project, which might be a thesis, presentation, portfolio, or other type of research project. Depending on the program, they might also have to take a comprehensive exam.
At the doctorate degree level, students typically complete core and elective courses, submit and defend a dissertation, and may have to take a comprehensive exam. They might also have to participate in an assistantship as a teacher or researcher.
Career Options in the Fields of Marketing and Advertising
With a graduate degree in marketing, you can work in numerous capacities. For example, you might work as:
- An Advertising, Promotions, and Marketing Manager: In 2017, professionals in this position earned a median annual salary of $129,380.i
- A Market Research Analyst: In 2017, professionals in this position earned a median annual salary of $63,230.ii
- A Public Relations Specialists: In 2017, professionals in this position earned a median annual salary of $59,300.iii
The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that these positions will grow between nine and 23 percent between 2016 and 2026.iv
Guess What? While each of the positions listed above requires professionals to have only a bachelor's degree, the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows in their 2017 audit that 23 percent of market research analysts and marketing specialists held master's degrees. On average, they earned a mean annual wage of $25,000 more than professionals who held only a bachelor's degree.v

MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's boxing pin-up boy Vijender Singh, who had been accused of taking heroin, has been cleared in an out-of-competition drug test, the country's sports ministry said on Tuesday.
Singh, who won a middleweight bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, was ordered by the ministry to take a test after local police accused him of using heroin on several occasions amid allegations from a fellow boxer.
"Vijender Singh...along with four others was subjected to an out-of-competition test for banned substances," the sports ministry said in a statement.
"The Ministry...is glad to announce that on the basis of these tests none of the boxers were found to have used any banned substances in the recent past."
Singh came under scrutiny when a fellow boxer told investigators after a $24-million drug haul in the northern state of Punjab last month that he and Singh had consumed heroin supplied by a drug dealer.
The 27-year-old Singh denied the allegation.

KENNESAW, Ga. (Jan. 12, 2006) -- Senior guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) made the game-tying free throw but missed two attempts at the game winner in regulation, as the Kennesaw State Owls overcame a five-point deficit in the overtime period and dropped the Bucs 78-72 Thursday night at the KSU Convocation Center.
Smith, who became the Bucs' No. 2 all-time leading scorer, scored 29 points in all, but was unable to connect on the critical free throw after being fouled on a 3-point attempt with .4 seconds left in the game. Smith now stands at 1,990 points for his career, overtaking former Buc great Keith "Mister" Jennings (1987-91), who scored 1,988 points in his career.
ETSU (6-7, 3-3) jumped out to an early 12-point lead as Smith scored 10 of the Bucs first 16 points, pacing them to a 16-4 advantage. The Owls (7-8, 5-1) weathered the onslaught however, and slowly chipped away at the lead over the next 13 minutes to pull within two at the half at 33-31.
In the overtime period, the Bucs jumped out to a 72-67 lead with 3:30 remaining, but Golden Ingle scored seven of his team-high 24 points during an 11-0 Owl run to close out the game and lift Kennesaw State to the six-point victory.
Smith finished with a game-high 29 points, and junior Brad Nuckles (Council,

David Hume notes the extent to which, despite it's religious overtones, much of what we know about Christmas is decidedly non-Christian:
Though Christians assert "Jesus is the reason for the season," a more precise formulation might be that "Jesus became the reason for the season in the minds of some." This is important. It is not without rationale that Christian groups like the Jehovah Witnesses reject Christmas, it is not a scriptural festival. Its emergence in the 4th century coincided with the synthesis of Christianity with Roman Imperial culture as the latter took upon the former as the state religion. In 274 the Roman Emperor Aurelian dedicated a temple to the sun god, Sol Invictus, on the 25th of December, Natalis Sol Invictus, "the birth of the invincible sun." Interestingly, many early depictions of Jesus Christ co-opted solar imagery (e.g., the halo around the Christ). It seems that the thrusting forward of December 25th as the birth of Christ was strongly motivated by co-option of a pre-existing festival. Additionally, holiday merry-making seems to have its classical antecedants in Saturnalia. But this tendency of a mid-winter festival is not limited to Southern Europe. Yule and its cousins play an even greater role in the north than they do in the sunny Mediterranean. The darkness of the mid-winter solstice festivals bloom to usher in the season of hope and lengthening days. Customs like the Yule Log, Christmas cookies and gift exchange all emerge out of this pre-Christian substratum. This is was not unknown to the Christian Church, during the medieval period there were futile attempts to suppress some of these practices. A great enough frustration broke out during the Reformation that groups like the Puritans banned the celebration of Christmas, which was after all a minor holiday next to Easter.
And then, of course, there's the whole commercial side of the holiday and the fact that it's pretty unlikely that Jesus Christ was actually born in December.
The funny thing is that all of these things are self-evident and yet to listen to the Bill O'Reilly's of the world, you'd think that those horrible pagans were making an assault on the pure Christian holiday of Christmas.
In reality, it was the other way around.

Geophysicists Claim Conventional Understanding of Earth's Deep Water Cycle Needs Revision
Commonly held view in geophysical community that water is carried deep into Earth's mantle is false, says UC Riverside's Harry Green
RIVERSIDE, Calif. – A popular view among geophysicists is that large amounts of water are carried from the oceans to the deep mantle in "subduction zones," which are boundaries where the Earth's crustal plates converge, with one plate riding over the other.
But now geophysicists led by the University of California, Riverside's Harry Green, a distinguished professor of geology and geophysics, present results that contradict this view. They compare seismic and experimental evidence to argue that subducting slabs do not carry water deeper than about 400 kilometers.
"The importance of this work is two-fold," Green said. "Firstly, if deep slabs are dry, it implies that they are strong, a major current question in geophysics that has implications for plate tectonic models. Secondly, even small amounts of water greatly reduce the viscosity of rocks; if water is not cycled deep into Earth, it means that mantle convection has not been as vigorous over time as it would have been with significant water."
Fossils Represent Large-scale Life Forms
A team of paleontologists led by Mary Droser, chair of the Department of Earth Sciences, spent the month of July in the South Australian outback excavating fossils from the Ediacaran period of geologic history (630–542 million years old). The fossils unearthed from the outback's red soils represent the first evolution of large-scale life forms, and are one of our best windows into understanding the origins of life on Earth.
Accompanied by a paleontologist from the South Australian Museum, Droser and one of her graduate students, Lucas Joel, worked on analyzing Ediacaran trace fossils (a trace fossil is like a footprint that offers clues to behavior).
"While there were no dinosaurs walking around during the Ediacaran, the trace fossils from this time period are just as exciting," Joel said. "The traces we're looking at represent the very first appearance of mobile, bilaterian animals. Bilaterian animals include humans, insects, fish … anything with bilateral symmetry."
He explained that mostly all Ediacaran animals vanish from the fossil record around 542 million years ago. This apparent mass extinction is important for understanding current ecosystem collapses, and will be a focus of future research in Droser's lab.
Oxygen Oases Sites Set Stage for Life
Geochemists Timothy Lyons and his graduate student Christopher Reinhard have contributed to a study that reports that oxygen oases in the surface ocean near the continents were sites of significant oxygen production at least 100 million years before the gas began to rise sharply in the Earth's atmosphere 2.4 billion years ago, which then set the stage for animal life to follow.
They worked with scientists from Arizona State University (ASU), who led the study.
In a paper published Aug. 22 in Nature Geoscience online the research team reports that cyanobacteria were responsible for the production of oxygen via photosynthesis along the ocean margins.
For this research, the team focused on well-preserved rocks drilled in South Africa that are more than 2.5 billion years old. While the ASU researchers focused on rhenium and molybdenum abundances to find evidence of dissolved oxygen on the seafloor, Reinhard and Lyons studied iron chemistry in the same shales.
Their data supports the presence of oxygen in the surface ocean but also reveal oxygen-free conditions in the deep waters with abundant dissolved iron and hydrogen sulfide.
Grants from the National Science Foundation and NASA supported the UCR contribution to the study. Drilling costs were financed by the Agouron Institute.
New Picture of Ancient Ocean Chemistry Argues for Chemically Layered Water
Stratified marine basin sheds new light on early animal evolution, UC Riverside scientists say
RIVERSIDE, Calif. – A research team led by biogeochemists at the University of California, Riverside has developed a detailed and dynamic three-dimensional model of Earth's early ocean chemistry that can significantly advance our understanding of how early animal life evolved on the planet.
Working on rock samples from the Doushantuo Formation of South China, one of the oldest fossil beds and long viewed by paleontologists to be a window to early animal evolution, the research team is the first to show that Earth's early ocean chemistry during a large portion of the Ediacaran Period (635-551 million years ago) was far more complex than previously imagined.
Their work is the first comprehensive geochemical study of the Doushantuo Formation to investigate the structure of the ocean going from shallow to deep water environments. It is also one of the most comprehensive studies for any Precambrian interval. (The Precambrian refers to a stretch of time spanning from the inception of the Earth approximately 4.5 billion years ago to about 540 million years ago. It was in the Precambrian when the first single-celled microbes evolved 3.5 billion years ago or earlier, followed by the first multicellular animals much later, around 700 million years ago.)
The researchers' model for the ancient ocean argues for a stratified marine basin, one with a chemically layered water column. While the surface ocean was oxygen-rich, the deep ocean was ferruginous – oxygen-deprived and iron-dominated. Further, sandwiched in this deep ocean was a dynamic wedge of sulfidic water, highly toxic to animal life, that impinged against the continental shelf.
Dominated by dissolved hydrogen sulfide, the sulfidic wedge was in a state of flux, varying in size and capable of encroaching on previously oxygenated areas of the continental shelf — killing all animal life there. The overall picture is a marine basin with co-existing oxygen-rich, sulfidic and ferruginous water layers.
Study results appear Feb. 11 in Science Express. More on this Story
Laptops could be key to an earthquake early-warning system
Seismologists envision a 'Quake Catchers' network of volunteers using their computers to precisely map tremors.
By Cara Mia DiMassa
If Elizabeth Cochran allowed herself to dream, the future would look something like this:
Every personal computer would double as a seismic monitor. That MacBook at the coffee house, the one used by the guy pounding out a screenplay? Working to detect ground tremors while its user sips a latte. The aging PC gathering dust in the guest room? Ready to catch the next quake.
If Cochran, an earth scientist at UC Riverside, has her way, every time the ground beneath us shakes, those machines would capture its movement and feed the information to a central computer system, creating a rich -- and inexpensive -- portrait of how and where an earthquake is felt.
Such a network could dramatically boost our understanding of earthquakes -- and bring researchers a step closer to an earthquake early-warning system that could give emergency officials vital seconds of preparation as a catastrophic temblor moved through the region.
By harnessing the power of accelerometers -- tiny devices that detect movement, allowing iPhones to flip from vertical to horizontal and Wii devices to function as tennis rackets -- Cochran and her colleagues at Riverside and at Stanford University have begun to build a system that links ordinary computers into a seismic network.
Ideally, Cochran said, "we would have seismometers in every building, or at least on every block. And in tall buildings, we'd have multiple sensors [on different floors]. That way, we would be able to actually get much higher detail, images of how the ground shakes during an earthquake."

It is why Clarkson's entrepreneurship curricula have been recognized nationally by Entrepreneur magazine which has consistently rated it among the top programs in the country.
Now, through the newly established Entrepreneurship Center, the University's entrepreneurial education and community outreach programs that help small business owners survive and thrive will expand substantially.
"The Entrepreneurship Center will create an entrepreneurial model where students, entrepreneurs and communities will make a significant impact in regional economies," explains Entrepreneurship Center Director Marc Compeau. "This will be accomplished through an integration of regional outreach, experiential learning opportunities, individual entrepreneurial support and strategic partnerships."
"The goal of the Center is to serve as a national model for enhancing regional economic development by focusing on microenterprises. Additionally, increased hands-on learning opportunities will provide our students with tremendous learning opportunities in marketing, management and finance."
Compeau, who is also the director of Innovation and Entrepreneurship for the School of Business, has developed a program called My Small Business 101, a four-part business strategy series that he offers free of charge to Northern New York businesses. "Through My Small Business and other outreach programs Clarkson faculty and students have used their expertise to help area small business develop and manage sustainable micro-businesses."
The Entrepreneurship Center will leverage existing resources like My Small Business 101 and develop new opportunities, including additional business training opportunities and funding assistance.
Alumni like David Reh '62 see the tremendous potential for students to gain experience while accumulating knowledge and skills. Reh is owner and president of the New York-based RAYTEC Inc., and serves on the Clarkson School of Business Advisory Council. He is also taking an active role in shaping the Center.
"Clarkson has a long history of producing people who own their own businesses or who are in executive positions with P&L (profit and loss) responsibility," he says. "The Center provides students with a great opportunity to get some real-life entrepreneurial experience and apply the skills they are learning directly to a real-life business."
"Working with local businesses is a great way for students to start practicing for a successful future while meeting the needs of the local community."

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: Mt. Sugarloaf made up of gravel and sand from the Triassic Age that was compacted and cemented together. The sandstone that makes up most of it is called Arkose. It is made up of a variety of minerals. The reddish color typical of Sugarloaf comes from iron deposited at the bottom of a deep lake or ocean, where there was not enough oxygen to "rust" or decay it. The layers that make up the outcropping came from successive deposits from ancient river channels. But Sugarloaf, a sandstone outcropping, is made up of relatively weak rock. Why did it survive the successive glaciers that overswept the area? Part of the reason comes from its unique position: it was protected by its larger northern edge. When the glaciers came, they took much of it and cut the sharp sides that form the mountain. The remnants will not stand long, geologically speaking: its vulnerable flanks will be carved away by later generations of rivers, glaciers, and weathering.

Jeremy Stein gave the sort of speech Tuesday night that shows why the Federal Reserve governor will be missed at the central bank when he steps down at the end of the month.
"Challenges for Monetary Policy Communication" isn't the kind of speech to alter market expectations but instead to put them under the microscope.
First, to get one current event out of the way: Stein said the Fed's currently in a "very good position" with respect to the market's expectations for asset purchases going forward, because market participants expect continued tapering, barring a material change in the U.S. economic outlook. "With these expectations in place, the execution of the taper itself becomes much easier, as we no longer have to worry about a step down at each meeting sending a potentially misleading message about our intentions with respect to the future path of the federal funds rate," Stein said.
But the market hasn't and isn't likely always to behave, Stein pointed out. He referenced the episode last summer when bond yields spiked in reaction to asset-purchase comments from then–Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, despite expectations of that program among primary dealers being basically unmoved.
Stein said what happened was that, however reasonable the median expectation, there was a wide divergence of opinion among market participants — particularly "QE-infinity optimists," as he called them. "And, crucially, in asset markets, it is often the beliefs of the most optimistic investors — rather than those of the moderates — that drive prices, as they are the ones most willing to take large positions based on their beliefs."
That's why seemingly innocuous pronouncements by the Fed can have major impact. That's even more the case now, when, as Stein has pointed out in the past, there's low volatility, which encourages aggressive players to leverage up.
He admitted he doesn't have an easy solution. Stein instead said that maybe the Fed should obsess a bit less over market reaction to its communication.
Stein's conclusion:
There is always a temptation for the central bank to speak in a whisper, because anything that gets said reverberates so loudly in markets. But the softer it talks, the more the market leans in to hear better and, thus, the more the whisper gets amplified. So efforts to overly manage the market volatility associated with our communications may ultimately be self-defeating. As we evaluate our own performance in the communications department, it is probably better for us to focus on how legitimately transparent we have succeeded in being, as opposed to how much or how little our various announcements have moved markets.
