Twitter has been criticized a lot by marketers for lacking native analytics tools. Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn do offer some form of analytics (think Facebook Insights) that help marketers gain insights into their engagement metrics and follower demographics, but until recently Twitter lacked such essential tool. Not anymore!
Those of you using promoted products from Twitter, such as Promoted Accounts or Promoted Tweets might have already spotted the analytics section in their Twitter Ads dashboard (if you don't intend to use promoted products then register at http://analytics.twitter.com/ for the sake of getting access to the analytics tool).
At the moment, native Twitter analytics tool is split into three sections:
- Timeline Activity: metrics on the number of mentions, follows and unfollows on the account level, as well as other engagement metrics (favorites, retweets, replies) on individual tweet level
- Followers: a comprehensive insight into the demographics of your followers, such as gender, location and interests, as well as the the overview of the follower growth over time
- Websites: an insight into content sharing (meaning people tweeting links to your website by clicking "Tweet This" button) such as the number and content of tweets, as well as clicks the shared links generated.
Out of the above, we find the "Followers" section as the most compelling. There are plenty of third-party tools for tracking engagement metrics, such as the number of followers and mentons; however, most of them lacked a comprehensive insights into the demographics of your followers. Let's take a quick look at this section:
As mentioned above, you can see a breakdown of your followers by location, gender and interests. Additionally, you can click on any of the metrics to filter the view. For instance, if you're interested in the demographics of US followers, click on "USA" area in the "Location" chart and the whole dashboard will provide the metrics for US followers only:
Similar filtering can be applied to any gender and interests metrics. Pretty cool, right?
Hope this was helpful and let us know in the comments if you want a deeper insights into Twitter Analytics.

State Department officials envision new intelligence role
By Shane email@example.com 20, 2002
PHILADELPHIA - The State Department will play a new leading role gathering
intelligence on foreigners who could be potential terrorists, according to
agency officials who spoke at a homeland security conference Monday.
Diplomats aren't usually thought of as intelligence agents, but with more
than 257 embassies, consulates and other official posts in about 180
countries, no federal agency can match the department's overseas presence,
said Hunter Ledbetter, State's coordinator for intelligence, resources and
. Intelligence agencies use extra funds for hiring 08/19/02
. Cooperation among border security agencies top challenge for
department 08/09/02
. Rumsfeld seeks undersecretary to oversee military
intelligence 08/07/02
. Democrats spar with Ashcroft over agency information
sharing 07/25/02
From the most senior diplomats to consular officers stamping passports,
State personnel living and working abroad are often the first point of
contact with would-be terrorists, soaking up information from personal
interviews or articles in local newspapers that might go unnoticed
otherwise, Ledbetter said.
About 125 State posts worldwide are already connected to a classified
Defense Department network known as SIPRNET (Secret Internet Protocol
Router Network), Ledbetter said. The network allows Defense personnel to
access classified applications and databases and lets users send secure
messages to one another. Being connected means State already is linked
with other SIPRNET users, which include Defense and intelligence agencies,
Ledbetter said, adding that officials can share valuable intelligence.
Over the next few years, as diplomats get more access to information
sharing technologies that operate on the Web, Ledbetter said State will
exert a major influence over how agencies collaborate in their
counterterrorism efforts.
State already produces intelligence analyses through its Bureau of
Intelligence and Research, but intelligence agencies often view those
reports as too academic and of little value. But Ledbetter said that soon
the department will be able to share visa data with homeland security
agencies that could be disseminated as far along the governmental chain as
state and local law enforcement officers.
David McKee, State's deputy director for intelligence, resources and
planning, said agencies shouldn't give up their own data networks, which
might contain valuable information on counterterrorism, but rather look
for ways to mesh their systems with those of other agencies, effectively
creating "an interconnected U.S. government network."
President Bush's homeland security strategy also calls upon agencies in
the new Homeland Security Department to create such a collaborative
system, but so far administration officials laying the groundwork for the
new department haven't focused much on how it would share intelligence
information with other agencies.
Many of the speakers at the conference, which ends Wednesday, are senior
officials from federal intelligence agencies, including the CIA and the
Defense Department, both of which have previously prohibited such public
discussions of intelligence operations.

My sister Julia is in China at the moment. She spent almost a year there last year teaching English before being sent home because of SARS, and now she's back for her sentimental farewell tour.
Some of the stuff she told me about her experiences were amazing, some disgusting (the sight of a dead woman floating in the Yellow River, for instance), and some hilarious. I always particularly enjoyed hearing about the Americanized names that her students chose. She liked to suggest names from her family to them, but whenever she suggested the name Peter, they had trouble pronouncing it, and it came out sounding like Beetle. In the end, I think we can all agree that Beetle's a pretty awesome name anyway, so one guy in China lucked out there.
Other students liked picking words that described them for their names. So she had a student named Lazy. A good friend of hers was named Super. What goes on in the mind of a man who decides that he is such a tremendous person that his name must be changed to Super? "Wow, I am incredibly amazing. I am awesome. I can't even fathom my own greatness! Henceforth, I'd like all of you to refer to me as Super. Thanks everybody!"
One student was named Spray. SPRAY. I love that this person couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe themselves, so they chose an arbitrary word. I love the idea so much that from here on out, my new name is Stapler.
I also enjoyed hearing about the popular music in China. For example the song, "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx is just about the most popular song in the history of China. It gets pulled out and performed over and over again. Julia told me of a few tours that she went on which ended with the tour guide saying "Thank you for coming on the tour with us today. You've been a wonderful group. I would like to sing to you. 'Wewewer you go, whatewer you do, I wiw be wight hewe waiting fow you'"
So from the communism of Karl Marx…
To the sweet pop stylings of Richard Marx…
You've come a long way China! Keep it up with your growing economic power and that whole forced abortions thing!

AGENCY | Texas Commission on Environmental Quality |
ACTION | Miscellaneous |
Notice of Deletion of the Force Road Oil and Vacuum Truck Company Site from its Proposed for Listing Status on the State Superfund Registry The executive director of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is issuing this notice of deletion of the Force Road Oil and Vacuum Truck Company site (the Site) from its proposed-for-listing status on the state Superfund registry. The state Superfund registry lists the contaminated sites which may constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and safety or the environment due to a release or threatened release of hazardous substances into the environment. The Site is being deleted from the state Superfund registry because it will be addressed under the TCEQ's Voluntary Cleanup Program. The Site was originally proposed for listing on the state Superfund registry in the October 13, 2000, issue of the Texas Register (25 TexReg 10413). The Site, including all land, structures, appurtenances, and other improvements, is approximately 28-acres located northwest of the City of Iowa Colony, at 1722 County Road 573 (Alloy Road), Brazoria County, Texas. In addition, the Site includes any areas where hazardous substances came to be located as a result, either directly or indirectly, of releases of hazardous substances from the Site. The Site consists of two tracts of land divided by a road at the end of County Road 573. The north tract consists of 16-acres of undeveloped land. The remaining 12-acre tract of land, south of the road, was a wastewater disposal and oil recovery facility from 1971 to 1983. Operations primarily involved the use of five shallow ponds to separate oil from wastewater brought to the Site from industrial plants and service stations. Following separation, the oil was stored in three aboveground storage tanks. Three underground storage tanks at the Site were used to store various wastes. In August 2002, the TCEQ issued an order to a Respondent Group, of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) who agreed to investigate and evaluate different ways to remediate the contamination associated with the Site. From 2003 to 2007, the Respondent PRPs conducted site investigation activities to identify the contaminants and to define the extent of the contaminants in environmental media as required by the Texas Risk Reduction Program rule. In July 2008, the TCEQ approved the final assessment report and directed the Respondent PRPs to submit a plan which evaluates different ways to remediate the Site. In October 2008 and March 2009, the Respondent PRPs submitted an initial and a revised remediation plan. The remediation plan included a study of four remedial alternatives to address the Site contamination. One remedial alternative was determined to be the lowest cost, technically feasible and reliable, and protective of public health and the environment, as required by 30 TAC §335.348(l). In April 2009, the TCEQ determined the Respondent PRPs had satisfied all the terms of the agreed order. In May 2009, the TCEQ received an application to the Voluntary Cleanup Program from the Force Road Oil and Vacuum Truck Company Task Force. In July 2009, the TCEQ accepted the Site into the Voluntary Cleanup Program. In accordance with 30 TAC §335.344(b), the TCEQ held a public meeting on January 21, 2010, at the Iowa Colony City Hall, located at 12003 County Road 65, Brazoria County, Texas, to receive comments on the intended deletion of the Site. The TCEQ has prepared a responsiveness summary, which responds to comments received into the record at the public meeting. The complete public file, including the transcript of the meeting and the responsiveness summary, may be viewed during regular business hours at the TCEQ's Central File Room, Building E, Room 103, First Floor, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753, telephone numbers (800) 633-9363 or (512) 239-2900. Fees are charged for photocopying file information. Because the Site has been accepted into the TCEQ Voluntary Cleanup Program, it may now be deleted from the state registry as provided by Texas Health and Safety Code, §361.189(a) and 30 TAC §335.344(c). In accordance with Texas Health and Safety Code, §361.188(d) a notice will be filed in the real property records of Brazoria County, Texas stating the Site has been deleted from the state registry. All inquiries regarding the deletion of the Site should be directed to Ms. Crystal Taylor, Community Relations Liaison, at (800) 633-9363. TRD-201001935 Kathleen C. Decker Director, Litigation Division Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Filed: April 20, 2010 |

Abstract«Clandestine urbanization and contemporary socio-spatial urban fragmentation: Cova da Moura's neighbourhood in Lisbon´s periphery» It is of general consensus in urban studies that when dealing with urban segregation, this term is used to qualify the most evident forms of social division in the urban space. The city is the social and spatial con?guration that corresponds to the most evident forms of this differentiation of activities and individuals. Numerous studies have focused on the analysis of urban differentiation phenomena from a particular point of view: that of the location of domiciles. We will focus on how this residential geography and the informal housing market is interesting to the theory of socio-spatial fragmentation of the contemporary metropolis. The high demographic increase in Lisbon since the 1950s was provoked by the simultaneous development of different types of migratory movements: internal migrations with origin in rural areas of inland Portugal, the return of emigrants from African ex-colonies in 1975-76, as well as, since the mid1980s, a higher number of immigrants from African countries whose of?cial language is Portuguese (PALOP). This has resulted in the growth of housing demand, unable to be satis?ed by the formal market of private and social housing. As a consequence of this process, there has been a growth in the needs of this sector and a parallel market has developed to absorb the demand segments insolvent to the formal market: sub-letting of rooms and household divisions in lodgements of the city's historical quarters and diffusion of shads' neighbourhoods and clandestine housing in Lisbon's outskirts. The case study in this text is concerned with the functioning of informal housing market in Cova da Moura's neighbourhood, located in Amadora (?rst suburban periphery of Lisbon), as factor and condition of reproduction and capital accumulation, but also production of a increasingly splintered social division in the urban space.

I am kinda new to this whole gardening thing, but I really like it. I took some honeydew seeds from a melon I got from the food store and planted them. A week later they sprouted. Ive had them since like July 20th. I realize this was waaaaayyy late to plant them. But anyways I have them in a 6 gallon container (theres four of em) and plan to keep them outside as long as possible. But then I will move them inside for the winter. So that brings some questions. One, will they produce fruit indoors during the winter in a heated home. And most importanly, what type of lighting do I use? I would like to use a bulb that I can just screw into a ceiling light socket. |

I've thought about growing melons indoors but have never done it. The main problem is space. Mature melon vines are large, typically around 6-8' square. The cost of electricity to light that large an area is considerable. You would have to run a 250W halide bulb for around 12 hours a day, which would cost $10 a month where I live. You would then hope to get 4-6 fruit. Melons also require heat and do best with daytime temperatures in the high 70s or higher. I would suggest taking a look at the hydroponic places for lights. The majority of their customers grow, um, tomatoes, yeah, tomatoes, and the cultural requirements of a tomato plant are very similar to those of a melon (Some hydroponic setups are intended for growing lettuce and culinary herbs like thyme and basil, which require less light and a somewhat different spectrum, so avoid those). The vines are delicate so you should get some friends to help with the move if possible. You should be aware that most storebought melons in the USA are hybrids that don't grow true from seed. You will get a melon, but it may not be a honeydew and may not grow especially large. For next year, you can purchase F1 hybrids like the growers use. I would recommend Athena as being the most reliable of the cantaloupe types, or Earlidew being a good honeydew type. There are also some open-pollinated "heirloom" types that are quite good though perhaps not as easy to grow as the hybrids. Melons are among the most difficult garden crops to grow. They require a relatively long growing season, warm temperatures, consistent watering, fertile soil, and protection from insects. |

You would also have to get male and female blooms going on your melons at the same time, and then use a small brush to transfer pollen, unless you keep bees in the house. I would think even a 250 watt light would be too distant from the plants if it were located near the ceiling, and few lighting fixtures are rated for that wattage. Best to get a fixture with a clamp and run it nearer to the melons. |
thanks for the posts. But just a few questions. What do you mean by an F1 hybrid? And when I google 250W Halide bulb, i get hits like "250 watt 10000k metal halide bulb", these the same basically? Thanks. |
- Posted by frozen_north Zone 4a - Minnesota (My Page) on Wed, Aug 19, 09 at 11:59
An F1 hybrid is the first cross between two unrelated parents. Wikipedia is your friend. The Kelvin (k) rating of a bulb denotes the color temperature. Lower values describe a bulb that produces a reddish or yellowish light. Higher values indicate a bluish light. Though much is made of the color temperature I don't find that it makes that much difference. You do need a special ballast and fixture for halide lights, in most cases. There are a few that are self-ballasted and will work in a regular light socket but they are hard to find and tend to run hot so you have to be sure of the quality of the wiring to the socket, and have to use a ceramic rather than plastic socket. |
Here is a link that might be useful: The Wikipedians hold forth on F1 hybrids

(Best Syndication New) - Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research, found an increased risk for kidney failure in people who have atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease. In general, kidney function can fail over time with the chronic condition which can lead to dialysis treatments or a kidney transplant. Kidney problems are more likely to worsen in atrial fibrillation patients who already have kidney function impairment. The study results were published in the journal Circulation.
Irregular heart rhythm is a very common type of atrial fibrillation. Patients who have atrial fibrillation along with chronic kidney disease or end stage-renal disease (ESRD) are at an increased risk for suffering from a stroke or death. The researchers wanted to understand why atrial fibrillation patients with kidney disease are more likely to have end-stage renal disease compared to those with chronic kidney disease only.
The study involved 206,229 adults who were diagnosed with chronic kidney disease from the Kaiser Permanente Northern California healthcare system. Within five years, around 16,400 of the chronic kidney patients also developed atrial fibrillation. The researchers discovered that those with atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease had a 67 percent increased risk for progression to end-stage renal disease compared to those that did not develop atrial fibrillation.
"This study addresses that gap and may have important implications for clinical management by providing better prognostic information and leading to future work determining how to improve outcomes in this high-risk group of patients," said senior author, Alan S. Go, MD, director of the Comprehensive Clinical Research Unit at the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research.
More research will be needed to determine why there is an increased risk for developing end-stage renal disease in these patients.

EA Labels president Frank Gibeau has discussed the publisher's decision to sign a console exclusivity deal with Microsoft for Respawn's Titanfall.
Speaking during the company's E3 2013 analyst call, he said EA has been a platform agnostic company for 30 years and will "continue to be that way".
But while the vast majority of its console games are planned for both Xbox and PlayStation platforms, he noted that "tactical opportunities" like Titanfall come up from "time to time".
Gibeau said: "We have a very balanced portfolio across both Sony and Microsoft. FIFA, Madden, Battlefield, Need for Speed, our entire line-up is going to be deployed on both platforms, so strategically we're going to be multiplatform, platform agnostic, and our history shows we go where the audience is and so we will do that.
"However, there are tactical opportunities from time to time on a title or on a service component that we do enter into a relationship with one or two of the first parties on that particular opportunity and we'll execute on it.
"Titanfall is an example of that. It's a product that came in through our EA Partners group, it's a partnership with Respawn, and there was an opportunity for Microsoft, EA and Respawn to create a tactical opportunity to make Titanfall exclusive to Microsoft.
"But if you look at our entire line-up beyond Titanfall, it's really focused on multiplatform and over the lifecycle of these [platforms] we're really not tilting one way or the other. We're very balanced and we're going to continue to support both equally."
Sci-fi shooter Titanfall was officially confirmed as Respawn's debut title on Monday night. It's set for release in spring 2014 on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.

Opinion No. 104-88
Summary conclusion
The State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts may, pursuant to Section 334.075, RSMo Supp.1987, require continuing education for physicians to be completed over a time period in excess of one year.
Contents of opinion
April 18, 1988
The Honorable Jerry E. McBride
District 144
State Capitol Building
Room 411
Jefferson City, Missouri 65101
Dear Representative McBride:
This opinion is in response to your question which you state as follows:
Section 334.075 RSMo requires the State Board of Healing Arts to administer a continuing education program for physicians licensed in this state. The specific question of law is: "Does this section require the Board to establish and enforce an annual requirement or is the Board afforded the discretion to operate a multi-year requirement more parallel to established professional systems of continuing education?"
Section 334.075, RSMo Supp.1987, provides:
334.075. Renewal of certificate, minimum continuing education requirement, exception, retired physicians. - The board shall not renew any certificate of registration unless the licensee shall provide satisfactory evidence that he has complied with the board's minimum requirements for continuing education. At the discretion of the board, compliance with the provisions of this section may be waived for licensed physicians who have discontinued their practice of medicine because of retirement.
The question is whether the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts (hereinafter "the Board") has the discretion to impose continuing education requirements for a multi-year time period or whether the Board must impose continuing education requirements that are to be completed on an annual basis.
A fundamental tenet of statutory construction is that words used in statutes are to be considered in their plain and ordinary meaning in order to ascertain the intent of the lawmakers. Beiser v. Parkway School District, 589 S.W.2d 277, 280 (Mo. banc 1979). The primary object of statutory interpretation is to ascertain the intent of the legislature from the language used and to give effect to that intent. In so doing, words used in the statute are to be given their plain and ordinary meaning. Springfield Park Central Hospital v. Director of Revenue, 643 S.W.2d 599, 600 (Mo.1983). When a statute is plain and unambiguous, there is no reason for construction and it must be applied by the courts as it was written by the legislature. United Air Lines, Inc. v. State Tax Commission, 377 S.W.2d 444, 448 (Mo. banc 1964).
Section 334.075 gives the Board the authority to mandate continuing education requirements. However, that section provides no time frame within which the Board must require licensees to complete continuing education requirements. The Board is given authority to waive such requirements for those physicians who have retired.
The statute does not require the Board mandate continuing education be obtained within a 12-month period. Courts are not allowed to "enlarge or extend a statute by construction unless it is necessary to obviate repugnancy and inconsistency and to give effect to the manifest intention of the legislature by the application of sound principles of interpretation." State ex rel. Hall v. Bauman, 466 S.W.2d 177, 180 (Mo.App.1971). By the same token, the Board does have the authority to mandate continuing education to be completed within 12 months if it so chooses. However, to allow the Board the discretion to require licensees to complete the continuing education requirements over a series of years is not repugnant to nor inconsistent with Section 334.075.
We have reviewed several licensing bodies that also have continuing education requirements. Licensees of the Board of Pharmacy, the Board of Optometry, and the Board of Podiatry must complete the continuing education requirements within a 12-month period. See Sections 338.060.3, 336.080, and 330.070.4, RSMo 1986. Under Section 339.040.7, RSMo 1986, continuing education for licensees of the Real Estate Commission must be fulfilled over a two-year period, while Section 326.110.2(5), RSMo 1986, relating to licensees of the Board of Accountancy, refers to a three-year time period. Construing Section 334.075 to allow the Board discretion in mandating compliance with continuing education requirements over a multi-year period would be in harmony with the other licensing statutes cited herein and accomplish the intent of the legislature to require licensed individuals to maintain their competence.
It is the opinion of this office that the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts may, pursuant to Section 334.075, RSMo Supp.1987, require continuing education for physicians to be completed over a time period in excess of one year.
Very truly yours,
William L. Webster
Attorney General

The kids are alright. More than alright, in fact. Widely dismissed as a lost generation with few job prospects, towering student loans, and a bleak future, the so-called Millennials, most of whom have reached adulthood since 2000, could surprise America and the world in coming years with their economic might and spending power.
Industries from housing and autos to retailing and financial services could be transformed by their collective demands and desires, while their growing wealth, coupled with their doubts about the future of government entitlement programs, could usher in a new era of saving and a bull market for stocks.
Things haven't been easy for the members of this generation almost since the day musician Kurt Cobain, one of their patron saints, died in 1994. They've known two U.S. wars, mass shootings, terrorist attacks, the financial crisis, and the lean years since, which coincided for many with their graduation from college and frustrating attempts to launch themselves into adulthood and careers.
Brad Trent for Barron's
Yet the Millennials are far from the slackers the media and popular culture portray -- a generation of adult children living at home with Mom and Dad, texting away and refusing to grow up. The evidence suggests that their march up the career ladder hasn't been aborted so much as a delayed by economic circumstances and personal choice. Once they get going, however, and marrying, starting families, and moving into their high-earning years, their influence could approach that of their baby-boom parents.
FOR ONE THING, THE MILLENNIALS -- sometimes called Generation Y, and defined by many demographers as ranging from ages 18 to 37 -- make up the largest population cohort the U.S. has ever seen. Eighty-six million strong, it is 7% larger than the baby-boom generation, which came of age in the 1970s and '80s. And the Millennial population could keep growing to 88.5 million people by 2020, owing to immigration, says demographer Peter Francese, an analyst at the MetLife Mature Market Institute.
This echo-boom generation totals 27% of the U.S. population, less than the 35% the boomers represented at their peak in 1980. When the baby-boom generation drove the economy in the 1990s, growth in gross domestic product averaged 3.4% a year. As the Millennials hit their stride, they could help lift GDP growth to 3% or more, at least a percentage point higher than current levels.
The Millennials already account for an annual $1.3 trillion of consumer spending, or 21% of the total, says Christine Barton, a partner at the Boston Consulting Group, which defines this cohort as ages 18 to 34. As the economy pulls out of an extended period of sluggish growth, helped in part by this rising generation, annual growth in consumer spending is likely to revert to its long-term average of 3.5% to 4% from about 2% now. Likewise, consumer spending on durable goods could rise sharply.
The Millennial generation has already made a big mark on one industry: education. The number of students enrolled in college in the U.S. climbed by 30% from 2000 to 2011, helping to fuel a building boom on campuses across the country. But that's something many schools could regret in coming years, given the past decade's sharply declining birth rate.
Owing in part to the Millennials' surge, apartment demand is strong around the country. Housing could be the next major industry to benefit from their size and maturation, but Wall Street could reap the biggest rewards. The MY ratio, which compares the size of the middle-aged population of 35-to-49-year-olds with that of the young-adult population, ages 20 to 34, explains why.
Middle-aged folks have higher incomes than younger people, and a greater urgency to save for retirement. They invest their savings, which drives up stock prices. When the MY ratio is rising, meaning the older cohort outnumbers the younger, the stock market typically does well. The ratio has been falling since 2000, which has exerted a drag on stock prices.
Alejandra Grindal, a senior international economist at Ned Davis Research, notes the MY ratio will bottom in 2015 and then rise through 2029. It is one of several reasons the firm is bullish on stocks. According to financial-services providers, the Millennials already have started saving, spurred in part by fears that dwindling Social Security payments could make their retirements largely self-funded.
THE BABY BOOMERS FOUGHT IN VIETNAM -- and fought against the war there. They gave us flower power, rock 'n' roll, civil rights, The Feminine Mystique, and Bill Clinton. Having transformed the culture, they are now reinventing retirement -- as a second adolescence, but with worse knees.
Their children, who are also entering adulthood in fraught economic times, are highly educated, ethnically diverse, and team-oriented, says Neil Howe, an economist, historian, and author of several books on demographic and generational trends. They trust government, and voted for Democrats in the past three elections, sending President Obama to the White House twice.
They grew up in an era when children were rediscovered -- often in soccer uniforms in the back of a minivan. Child safety was a parental priority, and helicopter parenting became the norm in many families, facilitated by the ubiquity of cellphones, which encouraged constant communication. That alone separates the new generation from Generation X, which grew up as divorce rates soared. Gen Y, on the other hand, "is sheltered and expects to be sheltered," says Howe.
Millennial women could be a particularly powerful force in coming years, says Francese, and one that marketers ignore at their peril. They have more education than the men of their generation, and in about a third of marriages, they have higher incomes.
Above all, the Millennials are connected -- to the Internet and each other. They brought us Facebook and popularized YouTube, Twitter, and phrases like 24/7, which describes how much time they spend on the 'Net and personal electronic devices. Nielsen estimates that 74% of young adults between the ages of 24 and 34 own smartphones, up from 59% in mid-2011. According to Advertising Age, consumers in their 20s switch between communications platforms and devices 27 times per nonworking hour.
THERE IS NOTHING NEW about worrying about future generations. Chances are, even the cave parents did it. To be sure, many Millennials got a bum deal by coming of age during the great recession, but a multitude of statistics suggest their prospects are improving.
Take unemployment, which remains high for young adults between the ages of 20 and 24. Last month's 13.3% unemployment rate for this population was down, however, from January's recent peak of 14.2%.
As for those ages 25 to 34, the unemployment rate was 7.4% in March, below the national average of 7.6%, and well below 8.9% in January 2012. Dick Hokenson, an economist who heads ISI Group's Global Demographics Research team, says 25-to-34-year-olds have recovered almost 75% of the jobs they lost to the recession. "They're finding jobs; they're moving out and doing normal things," he says.
Again, the numbers tell a cautiously hopeful story. Nineteen percent of U.S. men ages 25 to 34 live with their parents, says Mark Mather, a demographer with the nonprofit Population Reference Bureau. But that is up only five percentage points from 2007. The percentage of 25-to-34-year-old women still living at home is 9.7, up from 9% in 2007.
There is almost $1 trillion of student debt outstanding in the U.S. today, which could limit the purchasing power of Millennials. "These people have a mortgage and no house," Francese says.
But here, too, total figures are misleading. The average student loan among Gen Y-ers is $25,000, and the median loan is nearly $14,000, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Less than 1% of student loans are larger than $100,000.
AS THE MILLENNIALS' EMPLOYMENT situation improves, more young adults living at home will pack their bags and move out. That could spur an increase in U.S. household formation, which turned negative in 2007-08. Since then, the number of newly created households has recovered to about a million a year, still well below an annual average of 1.5 million since the 1970s, according to Census Bureau data.
Greater financial security could mean an increase in the birth rate, which typically slumps during economic downturns. Francese sees the average birth rate for U.S. women rising to 2.1-2.2 in coming years from a depressed 1.9 recently. "A lot of Millennials put off having babies, and now they will get to work," he says.
That suggests they will also start buying homes. Pat Tschosik, a consumer strategist at Ned Davis Research, figures there will be more home buyers than sellers in the 12 years ending with 2019, giving the housing market a boost.
Robert Turner of Turner Investments agrees. "We're big believers in this housing recovery," he says, noting his firm has invested in Home Depot HD -0.6599415480343169% Home Depot Inc.

THE MILLENNIALS ALSO could have a big impact on Detroit, which saw annual vehicle sales plummet to 10.4 million in 2009 from an average of 17 million a year in the early to mid-2000s. This year sales are likely to recover to 15.3 million, before rising gradually to 17 million in 2017, says Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive, formerly a division of J.D.

Among other things, the company will step up its use of QR codes and tap-and-go transactions.
THE GOOD NEWS FOR Wall Street is that Millennials know they need to save, and they're not afraid of stocks, which account for more than 70% of their portfolios, according to Vanguard. They are also poised, along with their Gen X predecessors, to come into some serious money as the boomers age and die. The two younger generations combined could see their wealth grow to $28 trillion in the next five years from $2 trillion now, as they earn more and claim their inheritance, says Christopher Tsai, head of Tsai Capital in New York.

Serial Bank Robber Sentenced to 14 Years in Federal Prison
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz sentenced Milton Richardson, age 32, of Baltimore, today to 14 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for bank robbery, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein. Judge Motz enhanced Richardson's sentence upon finding that he is a career criminal, based on previous convictions, including distribution of narcotics, two assault charges and robbery.
According to his guilty plea, from December 28, 2007 through June 10, 2008, Richardson committed seven bank robberies, stealing a total of $23,141. In each case Richardson handed the teller a note demanding money and stating that he had a gun. On April 8, 2008, a surveillance camera at a Baltimore Laundrymat recorded Richardson exchanging five dye-stained twenty dollar bills. A search warrant executed at one of Richardson's residences recovered the jacket he was wearing during this transaction, as well as clothing worn during one of the robberies.
Specifically, on June 10, 2008, May 2, 2008 and March 18, 2008, Richardson robbed the M&T Bank at 22 S. Greene Street in Baltimore; on May 19, 2008 and March 31, 2008, Richardson robbed the Provident Bank at 3800 E. Lombard Street in Baltimore; on May 25, 2008, Richardson robbed the First Mariner Bank at 300 N. Charles Street in Baltimore; and on December 28, 2007, Richardson robbed the Wachovia Bank at 1228 N. Charles Street in Baltimore.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Baltimore Police Department for their investigative work and commended Special Assistant United States Attorney Shennie Patel, who prosecuted the case.

One of the critical features of any decent home theatre PC is its ability to integrate into the existing home theatre environment. Most people don't construct their home entertainment layout around a single component, except perhaps the TV, so there's little point in introducing a new piece of equipment which isn't flexible enough to slot right in.
Most HTPC's do a pretty good job in most aspects of home theatre integration, especially in the audio stakes. But that's because PC audio technology has followed AV technology almost exactly - stereo audio, coaxial and S/PDIF.
Video technology hasn't been quite as in parallel, however. True AV hardware has been using high-definition component and HDMI technology for some time, while the best that HTPC's could manage was S-Video. So the options have been to either get a TV which could take RBG/DVI inputs, or put up with a lower quality video signal.
Luckily, graphics card manufacturers have addressed this imbalance, with new units hitting the market which support high-definition HDMI standards.
We got our hands on three such cards - a RADEON X1300 Pro and X1600 Pro from GeCube, and another X1600 Pro from Sapphire and ran them through their paces. Read on to see how they stacked up.
