Comments about Mud-Terrain T/A KM:
I use the KM1 on my 1984 K10. It is my hunting vehicle and, as such, I often have to pull my duckboat out of the water on slick/snowy/muddy unimproved boat ramps. The KM1 does surprisingly well in deep snow, not so well on ice (as you might expect). Mud is seldom a problem and is not a tire issue, rather it is a "no locking diffs" issue. :)
Only several downsides: one, they aren't made in my sizes any more (I also have them for my Jeep WJ). Two, they are a bit noisy on dry pavement (no big deal). Three, they are not cheap.
Overall, I'd buy again if BFG still made them. As it is, I'll have to go with another brand who offers a similar tread pattern. (the KM2 is NOT a suitable replacement)

Comments about Mud-Terrain T/A KM:
As a pick-up truck driver and lover, and not a huge fan of the 'minivan-like' little stock tires that most trucks come with, when it was time to get new tires I opted for a beefier, oversized off-road tire to amp up my pick-up's four-wheel drive capabilities, plus to add height and muscle to it. I am also a horse owner and hunter, so I needed tires that had great traction and could carry the extra weight of gear and a horse trailer. I highly recommend the Mud-Terrain T/A KM tire over any other off-road tire on the market! If you own a truck or SUV and want performance with a meaty look, go with these tires! Some downsides: no traction in rain because of the huge treads, and they are noisy at high speeds...and they mess up odometer readings if you go the oversized route (I have the 285/75 on my truck, where the factory advises 265/55) and have a slight negative impact on gas mileage (minute enough for me not to worry), but overall a wonderful tire that lasts well beyond its mileage and warranty! Bought mine in 2007, and it's 2013 and only now getting time to replace them! A++

Honors & Awards
2014 Outlook
Westerkamp earned a permanent place in Nebraska football history last season, catching a game-winning Hail Mary pass on the final play of a victory over Northwestern. However, one catch was far from the only contribution by the Chicago native as a redshirt freshman.
Westerkamp is blessed with great hands, and was a dependable receiving target for Husker quarterbacks. He finished the year fourth on the team in receptions and third in receiving yards. He made 16 of his 20 catches in Big Ten play, including four games with at least three catches.
Westerkamp earned Academic All-Big Ten honors for Nebraska in 2013.
2013 (Redshirt Freshman)
Westerkamp caught four passes for 30 yards in the season's first five games, before becoming a bigger part of the passing game. He made three receptions for 53 yards at Purdue and added three catches at Minnesota. Westerkamp had a career-best day against Northwestern with four catches for 104 yards, and capped the day with his only touchdown of the season on the Hail Mary catch to supply the winning points.
He caught a 27-yard pass at Michigan, then had a season-high five catches for 62 yards at Penn State. Westerkamp had a season-long 19-yard punt return at Minnesota, and had a 17-yard return vs. Michigan.
2012 (Redshirt)
Westerkamp redshirted in his first season in the program in 2012.
Before Nebraska (Montini Catholic HS)
Westerkamp was a record-setting receiver at Montini Catholic High School in Illinois. Westerkamp is the state's all-time leader in receptions (235), receiving yards (4,618) and receiving touchdowns (68). Westerkamp helped lead Coach Chris Andriano's team to state titles each of his final three seasons, capped by a memorable performance in his final prep game. In the 2011 Class 5A state title game against Joliet Catholic, Westerkamp had 12 catches for 353 yards and five touchdowns, leading his team to a 70-45 victory.
The championship game effort capped a senior year that saw him catch 91 passes for 1,659 yards and 29 touchdowns. Westerkamp received numerous honors, highlighted by being chosen a first-team USA Today All-American. He was also the Illinois Player of the Year by both the Chicago Tribune and ESPN Chicago, the Suburban Christian Conference Player of the Year and an all-state and all-metro selection.
As a junior, Westerkamp caught 89 passes for 1,631 yards and 23 touchdowns, helping Montini to a 12-2 record and a Class 5A state title. He had seven catches for 146 yards and three touchdowns in the 2010 state championship game. His play as a junior earned Westerkamp first-team 5A all-state honors from the Illinois Coaches Association.
Westerkamp burst onto the scene with 51 receptions for 1,156 yards and 16 touchdowns as a sophomore, including a 99-yard touchdown. He had a touchdown catch in the Class 5A state title game, helping Montini cap a 10-4 season and the first of three straight titles.
Following his senior season, Westerkamp participated in the Semper Fi Marines All-America Bowl in Arizona. He was listed among the top 10 players in Illinois by both Rivals.com and 247 Sports, and was regarded as one of the top 50 receivers in the country, while Scout.com listed him among the nation's top 250 overall prospects. Westerkamp chose Nebraska over Notre Dame and had dozens of other scholarship offers, including Illinois, Iowa, Michigan State, Northwestern and West Virginia.
Westerkamp is the son of Robert and Kimberly Westerkamp, and was born on June 23, 1994. His father also starred at Montini Catholic and collegiately at Illinois. Westerkamp is a business administration major, and has twice earned a spot on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll. Westerkamp has volunteered his time with Uplifting Athletes, Husker Hotline, NFL Fuel Up to Play 60 and team hospital and community rec center outreach events.
Westerkamp's Career Statistics
Rushing: 2 carries, 10 yards, 0 TDs, 5.0 average, long of 7 vs. SDSU (2013)

go after Greg Jennings,
go after Greg Jennings,
I would like to see more rollouts from Tannehill and more designed runs for him as well. I think that maybe that isn't happening much because of Tannys recklessness with his body. I love his competitiveness but he goes too far sometimes and it's gonna cost him if he doesn't watch it. I would also like to see more screen plays, they have been horrible at that this year. Also play Miller more, the guy is electric, everytime he gets a handoff he busts through the first level of the D so fast, he just looks like a big play kinda guy. He is IMO much more exciting to watch than Bush, I like Bush and hope we keep him, but Miller does not BS in the backfield, he hits the hole and fast.
"hey atleast I'm housebroken!"
I would like a one offseason where we dont ignore one of the biggest holes on the team
Create a winning culture
@phinstrodamus.... i really think we are seeing the start of that with the philbin era
get Dwayne Bowe and maybe Greg Jennings too!
Bad *** logo and playmakers!
Three pro bowlers in next aprils draft coming to Miami.........book it! (gulp)
Don't laugh, it can be done.....
Beat teams like the Jet,Titans, and the Bills and we would be in the playoffs. THAT SIMPLE!!!!

I have basically been without a television since I moved out of my apartment in June, and to tell you the truth, I haven't missed it much. I have been very busy all summer with the new house purchase, and several months slid by easily without really noticing that I didn't have a television in my life.
I was exhausted and distracted much of the time, so if I did sit down, I would quickly fall asleep anyway. Spending about a month packing and another unpacking, I was well into the autumn season and hadn't really given it much thought. People would ask if I had heard about certain events, and then tell me about what was going on in the world. Much of it was not of much importance. Either that or it was sad or annoying news, and I really didn't need to know anyway. For the most part, I was glad not to have the bother of television. Plus, I knew I was saving a little money by not having to pay for said bother.
The fall production of "Camelot" came and went, and as the end of the run of the show approached, I started to actually think about television again and wondered if my favorite shows had started up, and how interesting they were this season. I started to think that maybe it was time to seriously consider getting my television hooked up again.

To a newcomer, Carol Welch's BioSomatics class appears somewhat like yoga, only it's more subtle and less strenuous. Welch refers to it as "the missing link in fitness."
Welch, who has a background in dance and yoga, developed BioSomatics based on the work of Thomas Hanna, who taught that most chronic muscular pain could be alleviated by teaching the brain to re-learn (because we used to know how) to relax, and move muscles properly.
Welch refers to that memory loss of how muscles should feel, along with our ability to control them, as "sensory motor amnesia."
BioSomatic movement helps people unlearn and reverse harmful responses, Welch said.
"What we do in here is purely brain work," Welch told a class recently at the Academy of Yoga, where she's held her quarterly class series.
The goal is "to have so much awareness in the body, that we can self-correct," Welch said.
"It's about the health of our joints, it's about loosening, and stabilizing rather than stretching and strengthening."
Colleen Jones, 58, said she finds BioSomatics complementary to the yoga she also practices. She's younger physically than when she first started attending Welch's classes five years ago, she said.
"I used to be very stiff - very disconnected from my body," Jones said. "Probably most of my life I have been.
"I really notice now, when I see people move awkwardly, they look older," Jones said.
At 63, Welch moves like a person less than half her age. When leading an exercise, she sagely addresses the group as "intelligent bodies." A part of the re-education process is to reacquaint people with their "inherent capacity to remain agile," she said.
According to Welch, practicing BioSomatics improves posture, and helps create a full range of motion in all body joints.
Jones said she can now do yoga positions previously unavailable to her.
"It's true physical education," Welch said. "It keeps us awake in our sensory self. With this as a foundation, you're more likely to be successful with yoga, pilates, or even the gym."
Welch has worked in neuromuscular therapy since 1979. As a therapist, Welch wanted to give clients a way to help themselves after treatments. She sought to empower people to help themselves to change pain patterns, and to change postures, she said.
In 1993, she began studying the work of Hanna and Moshe Feldenkrist, both pioneers in the study of the brain and the way in which it senses and organizes muscles and movement.
Catherine Wilson, 54, has been attending Welch's quarterly classes, as well as private sessions for about a year. Wilson suffered neurological damage in her legs after a bad fall four-and-a-half years ago. BioSomatics was one of the things she did to recover, Wilson said.
"I tell you it really has done enormously good things for me. It was a big key to me getting better," Wilson said.
Nancy Don learned about BioSomatics from her yoga teacher, Chris Coburn, who incorporates a lot of the techniques into her yoga classes. Coburn learned BioSomatics from Welch.
In January, Don began attending Welch's classes for additional instruction.
"I don't have pain anymore," or "when I do I don't even think - I lay on the floor and start moving," Don said.
Welch has taught BioSomatics seminars in Virginia, Wisconsin, California, Texas, Hawaii, Seattle and Canada.
"Whereas traditional exercises make muscles stronger, somatic movements make the brain more intelligent in sensing and controlling the muscles," Welch said. "It really is brain work, based on early movements."
Toward the end of Tuesday's class, it was time for the final exercise - a guided relaxation led by Welch, while a CD of local harpist Kate Ellis played perfectly in the background.
"What I like the very best is dropping into deep relaxation and letting go of things," Jones said.

Doctor of Nursing Practice FAQs
Click on a question to view the answer.
What is a DNP?
A doctorate is the highest level of preparation for nursing. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is a clinically-focused doctorate degree for nurses.
What is the difference between the DNP degree and the PhD degree?
The DNP is a terminal degree for those in clinical practice and in areas that support clinical practice, such as administration, organizational management, leadership and policy. The DNP prepares nursing practice scholars to translate evidence into practice to improve health care outcomes.
Why should I get a DNP degree?
The changing demands of the nation's complex health care environment require that nurses serving in specialty positions have the highest level of scientific knowledge and practice experience possible. In The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice (2006) the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) states that nurses prepared for advanced practice be at the doctoral level and include skills in organization, clinical, leadership and health care improvement. The DNP prepares advanced practice nurses to critique clinical scientific findings and design programs of care delivery that are relevant locally, economically feasible and have significant impact on health care outcomes.
What will the DNP program provide beyond my existing Master's degree?
DNP curricula build on current master's programs by providing education in key areas including evidence-based practice, population health, quality improvement, and systems thinking.
If I am currently a NP or a CNS, will I be required to get a DNP degree in order to continue practicing?
No, an advanced practice nurse (APN) with a master's degree will be able to continue to practice.
How much time will be required on campus?
The DNP is geared for the nursing professional. The DNP program will be delivered predominantly online with some on-campus time.
Will I be able to work while in the DNP program?
Students will be taking approximately 6 credits a semester, which is considered part-time doctoral study. Students should be able to work full-time. Others may need to adjust their work schedule to meet their family and academic obligations.
How many credits are required to complete the DNP program?
The College of Nursing has been approved for a post baccalaureate DNP program that requires completion of 89 credits of course work. However, the CNS and NP prepared student with national certification needs only to complete 40 semester hours for the DNP. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) also requires DNP students to complete 1,000 hours of clinical practicum by graduation. Master's prepared Adult/Geriatric Clinical Nurse Specialists, Pediatric Nurse Practitioners, Family Nurse Practitioners, and Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners will receive credit for 500 clinical hours previously completed in their graduate program.
How long does it take to complete the DNP program?
A master's prepared APRN can complete the program in 3 years of part-time study, approximately 6 credits per semester.
What is the cost of tuition?
The tuition for the DNP program is as follows (subject to change):
- NYS Resident - $748/credit hour
- Non-resident NYS - $1,343/credit hour
Is financial aid available to DNP students?
Financial aid is available to all College of Nursing students, including DNP students. For more information call: 315 464-4329.
Can my practice hours at work be counted towards the required DNP clinical practice hours?
No, clinical experience is designed to meet the purpose and objectives of the DNP program. Students will gain practice experience through clinical placements in interdisciplinary settings with an expert mentor. These experiences may be arranged to take place local to the students' place of residence.
Is a dissertation required?
No, the DNP degree requires a final scholarly project which is grounded in clinical practice and uses the principles of evidence-based practice and translation of research to impact practice. The DNP student will prepare an article related to their scholarly project for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
How do I access my courses with an online component?
Upstate Medical University uses Blackboard. To access this system and your courses, go to bb.upstate.edu and log in using the username provided for your Groupwise email account (the part before @upstate.edu). If you have questions about your username or password, please call our Upstate Helpdesk at 315-464-4115, Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
When do courses begin?
Courses begin officially on the first day of the term, unless otherwise stated in the course information in MyUpstate. Online courses go live (open for students to come in and get familiar with the course) one week before the official start date. Check the Academic Calendar online for start dates of each term.
Do I have to be online at a specific time?
No. Online courses are asynchronous. Your instructor may require that you participate in certain activities within certain windows of time. There will be deadlines for learning activities, but the days of the week, and time of day you log in to participate are the times that are convenient for you.
Will I interact with my peers?
Often you will be engaged in activities that cultivate a sense of learning community. In addition to individual learning activities that will challenge you to learn and grow, you might encounter asynchronous discussions, group projects and team work that engages you with other learners.
Whom do I call with questions?
- Questions about the DNP Program: Office of Admissions, 315-464-4570 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Questions about Distance Learning: Distance Learning Office, 315-464-4860.
What if I have a complaint?
Students should attempt to resolve complaints with Upstate's College of Nursing. The Upstate Student Handbook will address most situations and procedures. If this is unsuccessful, please contact Upstate's Office of Student Affairs at 315 464-4816. If you are out of state, please use this SUNY website for further information.
If you are from out of state, and cannot resolve the complaint with Upstate Medical University, you may file a complaint with your state by referring to this SUNY website for further information or to the list of State Agencies developed by the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) in compliance with federal Department of Education regulations.

10 Meanest and Greenest Cars at the 2012 LA Auto Show
High-performance vehicles are alive and well at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show, but so are hybrids, EVs, and diesels. Here are our five favorite fast and furious carsand five alternatives to gas guzzlingfrom the latest debuts.
By Automotive Editors
Mean: 2014 Nissan GT-R
Another model year brings another round of minor updates to every video game racer's dream car. For 2014, the GT-R gets 15 more hp and 15 more lb-ft of torque, for total figures of 545 and 463, respectively. The engine gets new fuel injectors and adds an oil-pan baffle. Plus, each one comes with a plate signed by the engine builder. A revised suspension changes the anti-roll bar mounting and also reduces the center of gravity. It's enough to make every previous GT-R owner wish they had waited to buy until now. Well, maybe.

Facebook is the leading app on the iPhone. But does that popularity as an app mean that Facebook would have success with its own branded handset?
Next week on April 4 Facebook seems poised to introduce some version of the long-rumored "Facebook phone." The speculation is that it will be an HTC-made handset carrying a "forked" version of Android. We'll see. But I'm extremely skeptical that anything like can succeed at scale.
HTC previously made two Android handsets in 2011 with deeper Facebook integration: the ChaCha and the Salsa. They both flopped. INQ has also made social-media-centric handsets since 2009, which have not done especially well.
Let's assume that everything on the hypothetical HTC handset is deeply integrated with Facebook: contacts, dialer, camera, maps, apps, messaging and so on. Let's also assume that everything works elegantly. It's highly unlikely that there will be mass-market demand for this phone.
Most people are not so involved with Facebook that they would turn over this most important piece of personal technology to the company. There will also be the inevitable privacy questions and concerns ("Is Facebook tracking me?"). Most people I know are quite content to use a Facebook app on their smartphones. The notion of an entire handset devoted to Facebook seems excessive and unnecessary.
Perhaps the phone will offer some unique and impressive functionality or be priced extremely aggressively. Perhaps "younger people" will be interested. I remain very doubtful, however, that the majority of users will want to buy a smartphone so closely aligned with a single social network.
While a few ads shown during yesterday's Super Bowl were noteworthy most were a bust -- and largely a waste of the nearly $4 million it reportedly cost to buy airtime during the game. Matt McGee at Marketing Land did a nice job of tracking and reporting on social media mentions or "calls to action" on most of the ads (Twitter and hashtags were most common).
Oreo is emerging as one of the big winners, with its fast reaction to the game's 30+ minute power outage.
Yet for all the energy put into associating ads with hashtags and social media, there was an almost total absence of explicit mentions or references to mobile. The only mobile app mention that I was aware of came on a quickly shown credits screen during an ad for the forthcoming Star Trek sequel (upper right image). Exact Target confirmed my own informal sense of that yesterday.
A large percentage of people watching the game in the US were smartphone owners. As you already know, and as Nielsen and others have confirmed, there's a very high level of "second screen" behavior among smartphone owners. These Super Bowl ads were a huge opportunity to drive app downloads for brands. And other than the Star Trek mention, which raced by in less than a second, nobody talked about apps at all.
One might have expected real estate company Century 21 to mention its mobile site or app in its several mediocre commercials given that so many people use mobile during their house hunting. But they did not. I could go on with numerous other examples.
Perhaps the assumption among the agencies that produced these commercials was that people would be using Twitter or Facebook on their smartphones or tablets and the mobile call to action was thus implied. Yet it's more likely that marketers didn't really know what to do with mobile specifically and so were simply silent on the subject.
Facebook delivered the goods this afternoon. The company beat analysts' estimates and reported quarterly revenues of $1.56 billion and $5.09 billion for the year. Advertising revenue for the year was roughly $4.3 billion.
Despite the beat, Facebook shares were down after hours.
Advertising revenue for Q4 was $1.33 billion, or 84 percent of total revenue. Impressively mobile advertising represented 23% of total ad revenue, which is up from 14% the previous quarter.Even more significantly Facebook said that mobile daily active users exceeded web daily users in Q4 for the first time. CEO Mark Zuckerberg characterized Facebook as "a mobile company" accordingly.
There were 680 million mobile monthly active users in Q4 (compared with just over 1 billion in total). Of those 157 million were mobile only users.
Independent analyst Ben Evans has teased out a range of Facebook mobile usage and user data, partly derived from the company's own public statements and partly from his own calculations. You can read what he says here. Below I use some of his data and one of his charts.
Mobile users as of Q3 2012 (mostly public numbers):
Accordingly, roughly 44% of Facebook's global user base doesn't access the site on mobile according to the company's own data. However that figure is likely to get smaller over the next 12 - 24 months and become a very small minority.
Evans estimates the following smartphone app usage for Facebook (based on Q3 data above):
Below is a chart from Evans showing the relative growth of Facebook access on the various mobile platforms from September 2011 to September 2012:
Assuming these numbers are accurate you can see the reversal of positions of the iPhone and Android since last year, which makes sense. However the larger point is that a majority of Facebook users now access the site via mobile.
Facebook has argued that mobile is ultimately a much larger revenue opportunity than the PC. The following verbatim Facebook remarks come from the Q3 earnings call transcript:
Social and paid-search ad platform Kenshoo came out with data today that argue the percentage of ad revenue coming from mobile is now up to 20.3%.
Facebook is expected to generate roughly $1.5 billion in overall revenue in Q4. Not all of it is ad revenue, however. Roughly $260 or so million would be attributable to mobile if the 20.3% figure holds and the forecast is correct.
Google sees lower CPC prices on mobile paid search ads but better performance on mobile devices vs. the PC. However Facebook is experiencing the opposite phenomenon, according to Kenshoo. It sees higher mobile prices but lower engagement vs. the desktop.
Social networks and social-mobile apps are undeniably mainstream at this point. Indeed, mobile is where much of the growth is happening for social media. A new report, compiled from Q2 data and issued by Nielsen, illustrates this and compares time spent and access by media device.
What the data show is that the amount of time people are spending with mobile devices (vs. PC) is growing and that mobile apps continue to be where mobile time is concentrated. Along with smartphone and tablet penetration, mobile time overall has grown vs. 2011 but growth has been concentrated in mobile apps. They see roughly 79% of consumer time with mobile media and the mobile internet.
Mobile media time overall is now roughly 43% of the time spent on PCs as of Q2 2012.
Mobile use of social networks tends to show slightly higher levels of engagement than on the PC. In mobile, as on the PC, women tend to be more engaged than men. But the most engaged groups are slightly different in each category.
The most engaged group of mobile social media users is the 25 - 34 age range, whereas on the PC it's the 18 - 24 year old cohort.
The following chart illustrates that among the major social sites, Facebook dramatically leads in terms of time spent (although Instagram isn't present on this list). In addition, time is roughly divided 85% mobile apps vs. 15% mobile web. And while the ratios are slightly different for each social media publishers the directional trend is the same -- toward mobile apps.
Nielsen also looked at the major ways in which consumers connect to the Internet generally. It found that the PC was still the dominant way but that PC penetration was down slightly since a year ago. By contrast, as you might expect, mobile access to the Internet has grown significantly on smartphones and especially on tablets.
Marketers who continue to ignore or only nominally address smartphone and tablet users -- especially app users -- are losing access to an increasingly large user base and may be doing their brands and reputations harm in the process.
Bango's previously announced mobile payments deal with Facebook has formally launched in the US, UK and Germany. It allows users to purchase (digital) goods with carrier billing in these countries.
Bango says this will allow users to buy game credits, apps and other virtual goods through "frictionless operator billing, paying on their phone, without the need to register personal details."
Bango also has deals with Google (Play), Amazon, BlackBerry App World and Opera's Mobile Store. The company added that its conversion rates are higher than the industry average for carrier billing:
Conventional operator billing is expected to achieve a 40% conversion rate. Put simply, most mobile commerce customers who click 'buy', do not successfully buy. Billing with the Bango payment platform delivers an average conversion rate of 77%. Most users who click 'buy', do buy.
While carrier billing is useful in countries where there are many "unbanked" or where the specific transaction is likely to be conducted by a younger user, in the US and much of Europe credit cards are a preferred method of payment by most adults.
Carrier billing is much more widely available than other forms of mobile payments for obvious reasons. However carrier fees are much higher typically than credit card fees and settlement can take months depending on the country.
Even though Facebook eliminated Facebook Credits, which was a surprise to me, it's possible that Facebook will eventually acquire a mobile payments provider. Bango's market cap, for example, is only $118 million. Facebook could buy the company and associated revenue stream, as well as a set of global carrier relationships -- instantly.
Amazon is the king of mobile retail; Wal-Mart is the leader of offline check-ins. Last week there were two sets of parallel data released that provided some insight into how consumers are using mobile devices, both for "m-commerce" and in stores.
Data from comScore found that among US smartphone owners "4 out of 5″ are going to retail site/apps on their handsets. Some of this is in-store price and review checking.
ComScore put the total number of mobile-retail visitors at roughly 86 million. Unsurprisingly Amazon was the leading retail destination with an audience of almost 50 million smartphone owners.
These mobile-retail site visitors were both somewhat younger and more affluent than corresponding retail site visitors on PCs.
The number four mobile retailer on the list above, Wal-Mart, is the leader when it comes to in-store check-ins. According to data compiled by LocalResponse this summer from Twitter, Foursquare, Yelp and Instagram, Saturday is the most popular day to check in followed by Friday and then Sunday. Most check-ins occurred in the afternoon or early evening.
LocalResponse also found that men were more likely than women to check in. However gender check-ins by store varied, with Target being the most popular store for women. BestBuy was the most popular check-in retail location for men.
While some retailers are creating incentives for users to check-in, this should be exploited much more aggressively both to get people into stores and as a corresponding analytics tool to indicate the success of various promotions. Hashtags, offers and other mechanisms could be used to track specific promotions. In addition, users could be "messaged" (on Twitter) or otherwise notified (i.e., on Foursquare) while in stores with further promotions and rewards.
In general traditional retailers have yet to fully recognize the potential and utilize social media check-ins for in-store loyalty and sales purposes.
Facebook is testing mobile ads on third party sites, according to two published reports. Right now this is a "small" beta test and an extension with what Facebook has been doing with Zynga for several months. According to a statement provided to AdExchanger:
"We are going to begin showing some ads on mobile outside of Facebook," the rep said. "We've been showing ads off of Facebook on Zynga for a few months, and we think showing ads on other sites outside of Facebook is another way to show people relevant ads and let them discover new apps."
Facebook is using various mobile ad exchanges to serve ads (IAB standard units) in apps or on mobile websites. TechCrunch offers a nice explanation of how the Facebook-user data gets to the ad exchange and ultimately to the third party sites and apps:
On the back end, advertisers set a bid they're willing to pay Facebook to reach a certain demographic of users. Meanwhile, Facebook syncs its anonymous user IDs with several mobile ad exchanges. When a Facebook user visits one the apps or sites where these exchanges have placements, the exchange instantly sends Facebook that user's ID and asks if there's a bid set to target them. If so, Facebook pays the ad exchange some portion of the bid, and the ad is shown to the user.
It appears that most of the targeting will be demographic. It doesn't appear that location will be an element of the targeting at this point.
For now it appears that Facebook won't have direct relationships with mobile publishers and developers. However it will own the advertiser relationships. If all goes well it this would offer Facebook a way to generate additional mobile ad revenue without compromising its Facebook mobile user experience with irrelevant ads.
There have been rumors of a "Facebook phone" for at least two or three years. Facebook clearly needs to figure out mobile, so it's logical that Facebook would be talking again about a branded device. According to the New York Times over the weekend:
One engineer who formerly worked at Apple and worked on the iPhone said he had met with Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's chief executive, who then peppered him with questions about the inner workings of smartphones. It did not sound like idle intellectual curiosity, the engineer said; Mr. Zuckerberg asked about intricate details, including the types of chips used, he said. Another former Apple hardware engineer was recruited by a Facebook executive and was told about the company's hardware explorations.
It's worth mentioning that there have already been quasi-facebook phones, from INQ and HTC (Status). The Status had the distinction of being the first phone with a "dedicated share button." By most accounts these phones are not huge successes. The Status appears to be an outright failure.
Presumably the model for any coming Facebook phone is the Kindle Fire, a highly customized version of Android. Facebook could then have an app store, develop mobile advertising, have a mobile browser and so on. The logic is clear.
The problem is that a Facebook phone is likely to fail. Most people would not want to "commit" that fully to Facebook and would likely be concerned about privacy and how their contacts and other data were being used or exploited by the software. By the same token, the availability of Facebook apps on major smartphone platforms is going to be sufficient for the overwhelming majority of people.
There will be a small slice of the population that would appreciate deep integration of Facebook into a handset (those might be younger users). But it will be a minority.
We may ultimately see a "Facebook phone" but I don't think it would be competitive with the iPhone and other Android handsets -- at least not in North America.
This morning Facebook is trading below its $38 offering price. This reflects investor skepticism about the long-term outlook for the company. Indeed, there are many challenges ahead for Facebook -- one of which is mobile monetization.
This weekend the company bought yet another mobile site, Karma. Karma provides a streamlined way to deliver physical gifts to people through their smartphones, using the Facebook infrastructure. While this latest acquisition is undoubtedly about getting access to the team it is also about the business model and new ways to generate revenue from mobile devices.
I have argued one reason (clearly not the only one) that increasing numbers of people use smartphones to access Facebook is avoiding the clutter of the PC site and ads in particular. While Facebook has started to show Sponsored Stories in mobile users' newsfeeds it cannot simply duplicate the ad environment online in its mobile apps. Too many ads would alienate users.
So how does Facebook make money off mobile usage in a way that doesn't make users abandon its apps? Here are a few ideas:
Some or many of these ideas could come to pass. Regardless, Facebook will need a range of approaches and revenue streams in place to truly deliver the kind of mobile revenue performance that investors will want and will become imperative as more users access Facebook primarily via mobile devices.
On Friday the Pew Internet Project released survey data that showed significant usage of "real-time location-based information" by smartphone owners in the US. Earlier consumer surveys have shown that 90% or more of smartphone owners have used their devices to get "local" or location-based information (at one point or another).
When you consider that Google Maps is either the top app or one of the top two apps on the iPhone and Android the Pew finding is obvious and not a surprise. Indeed, Pew never clearly defines the cluster of sites, apps or services that constitute the location-based information category. That may be because the question is asked in that way, without further definition, to consumers.
An additional finding from the survey is that 18% of smartphone owners are using "check-in" services like Foursquare:
In November 2010 Pew said that only 4% of survey respondents were using "geosocial" or "check-in" services.
We should see "location-based services" hit 100% usage or penetration among smartphone owners, depending on how the category is defined. That's because every smartphone owner is going to eventually use a map or check the weather or look up a restaurant.
Facebook has again updated its S-1. There are a few reasons for this, including the awarding of additional stock to employees. However there's a very interesting discussion of mobile in the revised document (pointed out by TechCrunch). On page 14 of the document Facebook reiterates uncertainty around its ability to make money off mobile users:
We had 488 million MAUs who used Facebook mobile products in March 2012. While most of our mobile users also access Facebook through personal computers, we anticipate that the rate of growth in mobile usage will exceed the growth in usage through personal computers for the foreseeable future, in part due to our focus on developing mobile products to encourage mobile usage of Facebook.
We have historically not shown ads to users accessing Facebook through mobile apps or our mobile website. In March 2012, we began to include sponsored stories in users' mobile News Feeds. However, we do not currently directly generate any meaningful revenue from the use of Facebook mobile products, and our ability to do so successfully is unproven. We believe this increased usage of Facebook on mobile devices has contributed to the recent trend of our daily active users (DAUs) increasing more rapidly than the increase in the number of ads delivered. If users increasingly access Facebook mobile products as a substitute for access through personal computers, and if we are unable to successfully implement monetization strategies for our mobile users, or if we incur excessive expenses in this effort, our financial performance and ability to grow revenue would be negatively affected.
(emphasis added.)
The only mobile ad unit currently used by Facebook is Sponsored Stores, which put brand and advertiser messages in the user news feed. These units have proven to be successful on the PC but could become annoying to users on mobile devices. I have not yet seen any of these ads myself.
One reason why mobile usage is growing so rapidly for Facebook is a result of general smartphone adoption among Americans. There are also things about the user experience in mobile that are superior to the PC: the ability to take and immediately upload pictures, for example.
There may be another reason why usage is migrating to mobile: ad avoidance. People may be choosing the mobile version of Facebook over the PC site precisely because there are fewer ads; it's a "cleaner" experience. If my theory is correct then Facebook has a major problem on its hands. As Facebook puts more ads in mobile to make money it risks alienating users if the company is not very careful and thoughtful.
Mobile ads on Facebook will have to add value, be compelling (offers) or highly relevant (local) in order to work. For this reason I expect Facebook to make a major mobile ad-network acquisition. This would be for the "infrastructure," the expertise and the inventory. It would be analogous to what Google did with AdMob.
A couple of days ago local-social startup Glancee announced that it was being acquired by Facebook:
We started Glancee in 2010 with the goal of bringing together the best of your physical and digital worlds. We wanted to make it easy to discover the hidden connections around you, and to meet interesting people. Since then Glancee has connected thousands of people, empowering serendipity and pioneering social discovery. We are therefore very excited to announce that Facebook has acquired Glancee and that we have joined the team in Menlo Park . . .
Glancee, which is really just a 2.0 version of the original Loopt, adds to Facebook's growing arsenal of mobile assets. The social network has identified mobile as both an area of vulnerability and opportunity. In the Facebook IPO roadshow video COO Sheryl Sandberg calls out mobile as "a key area of growth for Facebook."
What she's talking about is revenue rather than usage. The company already has more than 500 million active mobile users. And Flurry Analytics recently said that social networking activities now consume as much daily mobile app munitues as games, the former number one category. Much of that activity takes place within Facebook.
The purchase price of Glancee was not disclosed but we can assume it was an "acquhire," rather than a technology acquisition -- though there may have been a bit of technology that motivated the purchase.
Glancee was part of a group of "passive" or "ambient" location startups that include the over-hyped Highlight and a dozen others. I have argued in the past that ordinary people (as opposed to those in the tech industry) don't want to continuously broadcast their locations even to close friends and colleagues. Accordingly these friend finding and pseudo-dating apps are destined to fail unless the offer some other angle or utilitarian functionality.
Facebook may choose to use some of Glancee's capabilities as part of a new version of its app. But my guess is that Glancee, like Gowalla, will be completely shuttered and that Facebook won't turn its app into a ambient friend finder. That would complicate the privacy picture for Facebook -- though I expect geofencing and geotargeted advertising to be part of what Facebook eventually develops for mobile marketers.
We're likely to see more acquisitions from Facebook as the company continues to build up its mobile capabilities. What the company hasn't figured out is how to make money in mobile, commensurate with its mobile usage. It now pumps Sponsored Stories through its users' news feeds, having just introduced mobile advertising. However that by itself won't fulfill the mobile ad revenue imperative about to be imposed on Facebook by its IPO.
If Facebook has its way "advertising" will be a thing of the past. Facebook wants brands to tell engaging "stories" instead, and turn all us passive "fans" into passionate brand advocates. Facebook wants brand and marketer content to be as good or better than any content or messages that your friends or family might generate. The content is the ad campaign and vice versa.
At Facebook's FMC event in New York today the company introduced its highly anticipated "premium ads," which include mobile distribution. Mobile ads will not be separate from ads/content on the PC site; they will be an extension of the same campaign. There won't be a separate media buy or separate targeting (at least now).
New "premium ads" and existing "sponsored stories" will be distributed in Facebook's mobile apps as well as through its site on mobile browsers. These pieces of content or "ad units" will simply show up in users' mobile news feeds based on Likes and friend Likes, etc.
One of the company's ambitions is to remove complexity from advertising on Facebook. A Ben and Jerry's marketing executive is quoted in a promotional video saying, "We really don't have to worry about separate media." Accordingly the same brand post/story will thus appear in the "organic" feed, as a mobile ad or as a conventional Facebook Ad on the right rail.
Also earlier this week, Twitter revealed it's very similar plan for mobile advertising.
Promoted Tweets will now show up in users' feeds in mobile. Initially only those advertisers you follow will be allowed to promote tweets in your feed. However, over time, the program will expand to allow all advertisers to reach non-followers as well.
These two parallel programs may help one another and speed adoption (or at least testing) of mobile marketing by brands (and to a lesser degree small businesses). The widely discussed danger for both, however, is that mobile consumer-users might potentially feel spammed by brands and advertisers that are inept or too aggressive. This danger is greater for Facebook than Twitter.
Another potential issue is how all these new mobile impressions will impact mobile ad pricing. There's already an imbalance of supply and demand: too many mobile impressions chasing too few advertisers today. More competition generally equals lower prices for buyers. AdAge discusses that question in an article published on Monday.
The suggestion in the article is that like online, where social networks flooded the market with cheap display impressions, there's a similar potential risk in mobile. Prices are already coming down because there's too much supply: "That ad kitty will stretch even thinner when Facebook starts selling mobile advertising against its more than 425 million monthly active mobile users," speculated AdAge.
Facebook and Twitter ads are unique to those platforms, however. In effect these new mobile ads won't simply be fungible new impressions, interchangeable with those of a dozen other mobile networks. Facebook and Twitter compete more directly with each other than with Jumptap or Millennial or InMobi.
However it's quite possible that brands could choose to invest in Twitter and Facebook and divert resources (money, time, attention) away from other mobile display networks. Might that compel the other networks to lower prices to compete? Apple lowered prices considerably in response to competitive pressure on iAd from AdMob and others.
While the entry of Twitter and Facebook into mobile could push prices down for other ad networks, that outcome is not guaranteed of course. But we should know soon enough.
This morning Groupon and Deutsche Telekom announced a "strategic partnership" that will deliver Groupon deals to Deutsche Telekom customers throughout Europe. The deal is significant for both parties. Deutsche Telekom has a presence in 10 European countries.
According to the release:
The partnership marks the first time Groupon will partner with a multi-national service provider to distribute its products and services across a wide international network. It is also significantly enhances Deutsche Telekom's position as a leading provider of the latest applications for its customers.
Using a wide range of marketing and sales tools, varying from promotion activities to deeply integrating Groupon services in selected fixed and mobile services, Deutsche Telekom will offer Groupon services directly to its customers. Scheduled to be available in the first half of 2012 Deutsche Telekom mobile customers will enjoy Groupon's mobile services on their devices without the need for a separate download providing easy access to the best local deals in their area.
To those who dismiss Groupon as a business without a future, this deal is a powerful reminder of the strength of the Groupon brand and its near-global footprint.
The key to success will involve two things: deal coverage and execution. How much inventory is offered and how well presented are the deals?
Groupon Now, the company's mobile offering, in the US has so far not been a success. Accordingly that experience raises questions about how this might play out in a mobile context with Deutsche Telekom's subscribers. However it will not be limited to mobile.
By contrast UK carrier (Telefonica) O2's opt-in "O2 More" partnership with Placecast to deliver local coupons/deals has proven to be very successful. So there is a precedent that shows this could play out in a very successful way for both companies if well executed.
Very few people in the mobile industry are neutral about QR codes. People either love 'em or hate 'em and think they'll go away as soon as other (NFC, augmented reality) technologies take over. QR code boosters cite data that show scanning rates are increasing and promote successful case studies. Detractors cite surveys that show most people don't know what they are and generally ignore them.
AdAge covers Forrester data that argues "only 5% of Americans who own mobile phones actually used the 2-D barcodes in the three months ending July 2011 . . . and those 14 million early adopters tended to be young, affluent and male." Earlier comScore data confirmed this demographic profile:
More than half of all QR code scanners were between the ages of 18-34 (53.4 percent). Those between the age of 25-34, who accounted for 36.8 percent of QR code scanners, were twice as likely as the average mobile user to engage in this behavior, while 18-24 year olds were 36 percent more likely than average (index of 136) to scan. More than 1 of every 3 QR code scanners (36.1 percent) had a household income of at least $100,000, representing both the largest and most over-represented income segment among the scanning audience.
ComScore extrapolated from its survey that 14 million Americans had scanned a QR code. Most scanning occurred on traditional media ads or product packaging, though many had scanned QR codes online.
Last year marketing firm Russell Herder conducted a survey (n=500) that confirmed the demographic profile of QR code scanners presented above, and also that it was a minority use case. The majority of mobile users have not scanned one.
According to the survey almost 75% of respondents had seen QR codes. However a dramatically smaller percentage had actually scanned one.
Most significantly the actual experience of scanning a QR code was generally mixed. Respondents said that doing so only delivered value "sometimes" for most people (although 80% had a positive experience one could argue).
Beyond the "how-to" problem, most marketers in my experience aren't delivering a sufficient reason to scan codes. If all QR codes offered discounts, for example, many more people would scan them. But in most ads the reason to scan a code is unclear; only occasionally is there a specific QR call to action.
As a practical matter, for the time being at least, QR codes amount to a way to make a "tech-forward" branding statement and not much more. If marketers put more "meat" behind QR codes they could develop some staying power and become more mainstream. However if they're not used thoughtfully then they will be swept aside when NFC or some other "new, new" mobile marketing vehicle comes along.
I've argued in the past that Facebook would be compelled to monetize mobile once it went public. I envisioned that monetization taking the form of more-or-less straight ahead display ads that were targeted in some way. I also recently performed a very loose calculation of what Facebook's global mobile ad inventory might be worth (at a $2.50 CPM) and determined it could be up to $2.5 billion.
What Bloomberg reported yesterday, however, was that Facebook was considering launching mobile ads that were more integrated into the Facebook feed:
Facebook Inc. plans its first push into mobile advertising by the end of March, giving the company a fresh source of revenue ahead of a possible initial public offering . . . An idea being considered is putting Facebook's Sponsored Stories ads, which feature friends' interactions with brands, within the mobile News Feed, said the people, who declined to be identified because the plans aren't public.
Sponsored Stories in the mobile news feed would be like "promoted Tweets" on Twitter in some respects. Sponsored stories allow advertisers to show Likes from people in your network (brands, products, stores) in the ad copy. They reportedly dramatically improve CTRs. Below is an example from Facebook online:
Earlier this week Nielsen reported that Facebook has the greatest "active reach" of any app across the Android OS (after the Android market). Facebook's most recent official mobile-user number is 350 million globally, out of more than 800 million total users.
My guess is that Facebook will be experimenting with various mobile advertising units/types before it launches anything officially. It already has a quasi-advertising vehicle in mobile "check-in offers." However Facebook itself currently doesn't make any money off these deals. Eventually that will probably change.
Nielsen has published data on the Android apps with the greatest "active reach" by age group (US market). Active reach means "percentage of Android owners who used the app within the past 30 days." After the Android Market app itself, Facebook is dominant across age categories.
After Facebook, Google occupies the next four slots with slight differences by segment. But basically it goes: GMail, Google Maps, Google Search and YouTube. In the top 100 free apps in the iTunes store, Facebook comes in at #24, Twitter at #48 and Google at #61.
In September here's what Nielsen said about overall active reach of Android apps:
Below is a chart (UK data from 12/10) that shows how dominant Facebook is in terms of time spent in aggregate minutes:
If Facebook wanted to turn on mobile advertising it would instantly become the largest "mobile ad network" on the planet. Indeed, I believe after the IPO Facebook will be all but compelled to run ads on its mobile apps and HTML site. But how much money might Facebook stand to gain from such a move?
A great deal is the short answer. Let's do some simple math to find out.
Facebook now has more than 1 trillion monthly page views on a global basis. In the US the number of monthly page views is 300 billion. According to an analysis by Hubspot in May, 2011 roughly 33% of Facebook's traffic was coming from mobile devices.
If that formula is correct, then approximately 99 billion of Facebook's monthly US page views come from mobile devices. This is mind boggling.
If we use a $2.50 mobile CPM ($2.50 per 1K impressions) to value this inventory it would mean that Facebook would be in a position to instantly add $247.5 million in US ad revenue to its coffers -- assuming 100% fill.
On a global basis, using the same crude formula, Facebook's inventory would be worth approximatley $2.5 billion, the annual mobile ads run rate that Google announced last week.
According to a survey by CloudTalk the mobile phone public prefers texting and browsing to real time "voice" conversations using their mobile devices. While the composition of the sample (and its size for that matter) are unclear, the survey respondents were very clear in their preferences. Nearly 90% said they prefer texting or "messaging" over voice conversation. In practice the numbers were slightly different as those sampled cited their overall usage of smartphones:
In order of priority, phone users reported:
By this measure, talking on the phone is on a par with "surfing the web," with under half the sample citing it as a priority. According to David Hayden, the chairman and CEO of CloudTalk (which provides a "platform" for multmodal and asynchronous mobile communications), this provides evidence of the evolution of mobile phone from an "intrusive" interruptor of everyday life into a more nuanced "communications tool."
There's something missing in this analysis. As Greg has cited in many other posts here at Internet2Go, we see mobile phones as far more than communications devices. By focusing solely on the communications capabilities, this survey misses the uses of the smartphone that are more like a wallet, with contact lists, calendar items and ultimately payment vehicles.
But their are insights to be gained by observing how readily the general public is adopting new modes of communications while at the same time recognizing that, in many cases, voice is the most appropriate way to communicate.

Daniel Craig turned 40 this year, but, really, what other age could he be? He has the face of a boxer and a thief and, oh, yes, a lover, with faint horizontal lines slashing across his cheeks like war paint and a slightly crooked nose, and thenback to that lover thingblue eyes like, like, like...clichés. Think bottomless swimming pools. The word limpid, which I have never used in my life, springs to mind.
So try to imagine this headblond and bristly and beautifully batteredon a two-year-old, if you will. Can't do it? That's because Craig is the last manly man. He should always be eating a leg of meat or at least smoking, but he quit when he became James Bond, though he still says, "Sod it" (he is awash in charming Britishisms) and takes a drag from time to time when he's drinking. And he still drinks, unapologetically, like a man. As Liev Schreiber, who appears alongside Craig in next month's Defiance, says of his costar's take on that alpha-metrosexual superspy: "Everyone was, like, `He's the woman's Bond,' but I thought he was butch. He retestosterone-ized the whole thing. His Bond might have gotten more emotionally involved with a woman, but he still seemed like a granite man to me."
Offscreen, in a hotel room in London, Craig is manly but gentlemanly, too, and the tiniest bit nervous. He extends genial-ity and sincerity to a reporter because it's part of the deal, but it's as if there were a vibrating electric fence around him: Not too close, please. Still, he is kind about the fact that I and my cursed clip-on microphone are fumbling around his collar (he smells of soap; clean, no aftershave), violating all kinds of boundaries. Throughout our chat, he is both warm and distant. Many people who know Craig describe him in dualities: "He is very serious and very silly," says Douglas McGrath, who directed him in 2006's Infamous. He's "painfully shy" and like an "incredibly gregarious 15-year-old," Schreiber says. Daniel Craig is James Bondthat singular, all-encompassing identityand then again, he is much more.
Craig is still wearing his secret agent body, having just wrapped Quantum of Solace, the follow-up to his debut Bond, Casino Royale (2006), the one the world bitched about (before picture) and then swooned over (after). "I would be lying if I said there wasn't some narcissism involved in getting fit for the last [Bond]," he says, gesturing to the body, which is formidablea wall, really, even clothed in dark jeans and a black cardigan over a gray button-down, all of it fashionably, flatteringly tight. "The way to get seriously fit is to get obsessive, and that's a dangerous thing," Craig says, describing the six months of preparation as drudgery: rehearsal, gym, dinner, bed. "I do plan to get seriously unfit for two months, because I've got to chill the fuck out. It's important. I've got to read more books."
What's the last thing Craig read? He pauses. Lengthily. "Fleming," he says, a little abashed. Ah, Ian Fleming, author of those James Bond books. Casino Royale returned to the very first one and rebirthed Bond as a little tormented, a newly minted agent with a hint of conscience who falls so hard for a fellow spy that he's prepared to walk away from Her Majesty's Secret Service. But the girl dies, naturally, right after selling him out, and in Quantum of Solace 007 tries to piece together her betrayal.

Fellow citizens: The year ahead will demand more patience, sacrifice, and resolve. It can be tempting to think that America can put aside the burdens of freedom. Yet times of testing reveal the character of a nation. And throughout our history, Americans have always defied the pessimists and seen our faith in freedom redeemed. Now America is engaged in a new struggle that will set the course for a new century. We can, and we will, prevail.George Walker Bush
Now comes our time of testing. Our measure is taken, not only by what we have and use, but what we build and leave behind. And nothing this generation could ever build will matter more than the means to defend our nation and extend our peace.George Walker Bush

I believe that the testing of the student's achievements in order to see if he meets some criterion held by the teacher, is directly contrary to the implications of therapy for significant learning.Carl Rogers
I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.Anthony Robbins
Science is unusual in that it is cumulative. It is a system built over time, wherein useful information is retained and ideas that simply don't stand up are discarded, based on the confirmation of knowledge through testing.Derren Victor Brown
It takes a while to grasp that not all failures are self-imposed, the result of ignorance, carelessness or inexperience. It takes a while to grasp that a garden isn't a testing ground for character and to stop asking, what did I do wrong? Maybe nothing.Eleanor PerČny
I am not thinking of those shining precepts which are the registered property of every school; that is to say learn as much by writing as by reading; be not content with the best book; seek sidelights from the others; have no favourites; keep men and things apart; guard against the prestige of great names; see that your judgments are your own; and do not shrink from disagreement; no trusting without testing; be more severe to ideas than to actions; do not overlook the strength of the bad cause of the weakness of the good; never be surprised by the crumbling of an idol or the disclosure of a skeleton; judge talent at its best and character at its worst; suspect power more than vice, and study problems in preference to periods.John Dalberg-Acton, Lord Acton

In response to mryazz's comment:
why did farrell bring doub-ious out for the 6th? completely wrong.
I disagree.
Felix struggled in the fifth but still had a reasonable pitch count. If Felix is going to grow as a pitcher, he needs to be able to come back strong after that kind of an inning.
Farrell, however, had a quick hook in the sixth. That's exactly what you do. Don't baby the guy. Give the him a chance to show you he can come back strong, but be ready to yank him.

The Analysis of Peculiarities of Russian Bells Acoustic Parameters .
The peculiarities of the tuning and acoustical characteristics of Russian bells were investigated by various scientists for a long time. The results were reviewed in our previous report (pr.5117- 108 Convention AES) .In this paper the results of a new research are represented, including: digital recording of sounding of 16-20-th century bells made in various monasteries and temples of Russia; the computer processing and restoration of obtained recordings; the spectral and statistical analysis of soundings and comparison of bells tuning with that of a conventional Dutch system; development of mathematical models of bells vibration ; creation of the software for the analysis spectral frequencies and modes of vibration; synthesis of their geometric form to optimize the structure of spectrum.
