Pastor Charles Jenkins (Fellowship Chicago) – Awesome
About a week ago, Carla Drew, a LiveMyGospel Facebook Friend, inquired about a song titled Awesome. She led us to this video — a song filled with worship and praise. It is a remainder for each day: "My God is Awesome, He can move mountains…Keep me in the valley…Hide me from the rain. My God is Awesome! Heals me when I'm broken…Strength where I've been weak — Praise his Holy Name! These are challenging times, but in the midst of the challenge if we would only PAUSE to remember from "whence cometh our help." That's often a difficult task, because we have our thoughts on the problem that is present before us. We need only shift our focus and heart on the fact that "My God is Awesome!" Peace & Blessings to all this day. (LYRICS BELOW)
Verse 1:
My God is Awesome/He can move mountains/Keep me in the valley/Hide me from the rain
My God is Awesome/Heals me when I'm broken/Strength where I've been weakened/
Forever He will reign…(repeat verse 1 again)
My God Is Awesome/Awesome, Awesome, Awesome
My God is Awesome/Awesome, Awesome, Awesome
Verse 2:
My God is Awesome/Savior of the whole world/Giver of Salvation/By His stripes I am healed
My God is Awesome/Today I am forgiven/His grace is why I'm living/Praise His Holy name
Shorten Hook:
My God Is Awesome/Awesome, Awesome, Awesome
He's Mighty, He's Mighty, He's Mighty, He's Mighty/Awesome…Awesome
He's Holy, He's Holy, He's Holy, He's Holy/Awesome…Awesome
He's Great He's Great, He's Great, He's Great/Awesome…Awesome
Deliverer, Deliverer, Deliverer, Deliverer/Awesome…Awesome
Provider, Provider, Provider, Provider/Awesome….Awesome
Protector, Protector, Protector, Protector/Awesome…Awesome
Verse 3:
My God is Awesome/He can move mountains/Keep me in the valley/Hide me from the rain
My God is Awesome/Heals me when I'm broken/Strength where I've been weakened
Praise His Holy Name

Check out Wachovia's board, post # 1496 which refers to BB&T as a "relative upstart". The poor fellow is clueless.
It takes a good man to apologize publicly for his mistakes.I salute you.dinkee
I am sorry to have opened the forum up forprofanities, vulgarities and other inapporiate statementswhich I had never before read on thisboard.Thanks rousseau for not assuming my thoughts are that ofa "nut."
Me thinks you are guilty of making amisrepresentation and are a troublemaker. The post # 1496 on theWachovia board, to which you refer us, is a copy of anarticle about Wachovia that appeared in a recent editionof the "American Banker". If you have a bone topick, I suggest you write to the "American Banker" andget them straightened out.You, "poor fellow",are the one who "is clueless".....(your words inparenthesis).
You are off base to call me a troublemaker. I misinterpreted the post, but was simply offended by BB&T being referred as an "upstart". I apologized to the WB board. EOM

City employee saved in a heartbeat
Workers at the city power plant are no strangers to emergencies. Their jobs require quick reactions to problems with machinery, and they've dealt with fires and explosions. Monthly safety meetings ensure that employees know where the oxygen tank and automated external defibrillator are kept and how to perform CPR.
"These guys have seen emergencies. … It's just never involved a human life before," said Tad Johnsen, superintendent of the power plant.
Fan use not ideal for beating heat
While many Columbians enjoy the cool comfort of air conditioning in their homes, some aren't as fortunate to have that luxury.
Temperatures soared into the upper 90s last week, and Wednesday's heat advisory in Boone County issued by the National Weather Service made it almost unbearable for those without air conditioning.
Five Ideas
Rural Missouri is one of the most popular places in the country for methamphetamine production. The state has established guidelines for how a meth-production site should be cleaned but has no enforceable legal standard for determining when a site has been adequately cleaned. Michelle Hartman, of Missouri Department of Health, said there isn't enough evidence on the adverse health effects on residents of former production sites to merit legal guidelines.
Some researchers believe that even after a meth site has been cleaned, chemicals can be present that could cause pulmonary damage and peripheral nerve compression. Residents may also be at risk for more serious side effects, including cancer and asthma.
Deportation decision splits family
JEFFERSON CITY — With tears in her eyes, Marina Gonzalez watched her 19-year-old daughter, Marie Gonzalez, calmly try to explain to the press why she would be able to stay in the United States while her parents are deported to Costa Rica.
It was something not easily explained.
Blowing their minds
The technical skills required to become a master glass blower were once considered such valuable secrets they were worth killing to protect.
In the 13th century, glass blowers in Venice were forced to settle on the nearby Italian island of Murano, where the region's most famous export could be closely monitored. Fearful of the competition from other artisans, the Venetian government served cruel sentences on glass blowers who leaked information or left Murano without permission. Hired assassins would reportedly hunt down and kill artists who fled the island.
Religious confusion
David Citrin has an unusual religious background. His father was Jewish. His mother was raised Catholic but converted to Judaism when she married.
The family celebrated Jewish holidays, and Citrin's mother lit Shabbat candles on Friday nights. She taught her son Jewish prayers although eventually, Citrin says, "she realized it didn't work without Jesus."
An eye for perfection
The Artist: Bob Boxley was born and raised in western Kansas and has lived in Columbia since 1965. He worked as an underwriter for Shelter Insurance for 37 years. Ten years ago, Boxley retired and followed in the footsteps of his father and brother and took up wood carving. This challenging art medium keeps him busy and entertained. "Art is the creation of love, and the love of creation," Boxley said.
The Art: Boxley's wood carvings range from animals to crematory urns to walking sticks. He works with an assortment of wood, and he paints and finishes all of the work. Boxley is part of the Mid-Missouri Wood Carvers Association, which meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Senior Center.
O'Connor leaves; debate follows
With the retirement of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, politicians, professors and the public await what should be a firefight of a confirmation process for O'Connor's replacement, one that has politicians and interest groups scrambling.
After 24 years on the court, O'Connor announced her retirement Friday in a letter addressed to President Bush. Although there was speculation she would retire soon, it was widely believed her Stanford Law School colleague, Chief Justice William Rehnquist, would retire first.
Mid-Missouri heat wave too hot to handle
There were several topics I was going to explore for this week's column — deep meaty stuff that would have left my readers reflecting on my lofty thoughts. However, it's so hot I can barely move, let alone write something profound.
I can't remember when this heat wave began. It seems like June has been one big hazy blur. I've written about trying to survive the heat in mid-Missouri before, but in August. It's more depressing to have 99 degree weather in June. You realize that the entire summer could be miserable.
First Freedoms
After Mike Hall, Southern Boone football coach, was fired earlier this year, the community exercised four of its First Amendment rights by circulating a petition, assembling with the school board, speaking in an open forum and receiving press coverage. And as for the fifth right, it could be argued that football is a form of religion.
However, actively using First Amendment rights is not always easy. Chris Gares learned that one spring evening at an Ashland R-1 School Board meeting.
When Ellen Wolfe joined a handful of Harg residents around a kitchen table in the fall, they didn't plan to prevent the City Council from voting on an annexation and development proposal from Billy Sapp.
They only wanted someone to listen to their concerns about how the project would affect their backyards. But the kitchen crew eventually grew to more than 20 residents. Twice, the Harg residents collected enough signatures from Columbia residents to stop the City Council from voting to annex the land, and they earned an audience with the developer.
Michael Ugarte's father taught him the importance of civil liberties.
Francisco Ugarte was working for the U.S. Embassy in Madrid when Gen. Francisco Franco, a fascist, came to power after the Spanish Civil War.
Normally, the mere sight of a Ku Klux Klan hood incites intense emotions. For Marlon Jordan, it was wearing the hood for the first time that frightened him.
"I'd never been so scared in my life," Jordan said.
When Henry J. "Hank" Waters III took the reins of the Columbia Daily Tribune in 1966, he quickly realized the power of the newspaper's editorials.
The stubborn son of the Tribune family wanted his editorials to be straightforward and honest with a local flavor. He wanted what he called "weak-kneed politicians" and a closed-minded city government to notice what he was saying.
Shimin Zhuang heard about Falun Gong from the government-controlled media in China.
She wondered why so many people, especially young women, would join a movement that, according to the government, was destroying China. Falun Gong has been described as a spiritual movement, a pseudo-religion, a religion and an "evil cult."
Wreck causes early morning power outage; driver arrested
Early Saturday morning, a driver swerved off the road, knocked out three trees and struck a pole, cutting a transformer and causing a blackout around the East Campus area, said MU Police Captain Scott Richardson.
Richardson said police found an overturned car near a fire station at 12:38 a.m. on the 1100 block of Ashland Road.
Murder charge added after victim dies
A 72-year-old woman who was struck on the head with a branch during a neighborhood quarrel Monday died from complications of her injuries Friday.
Columbia Police said Earlene Bradshaw died at 2:30 p.m. Friday after nearly five days on life support in serious condition at University Hospital. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.
Developers pursue acreage near river
Two lifestyles intersect at Route K and Old Plank Road.
Just before veering south toward the bluffs that line the Missouri River, the drive grazes suburbia, providing a glimpse of the urban growth that residents of southern Boone County have avoided for decades.
Smoking ban ignites debate
The Columbia smoking debate heated up Thursday night at the Board of Health subcommittee meeting, when business owners and residents argued over the change in the proposed smoking ordinance.
The Board of Health has been discussing changing Columbia's smoking ordinance to ban indoor smoking in public places, including bars and restaurants.
Columbia gets expert help in walking issues
Dan Burden went from photographing Argentinean mountains to taking pictures of Columbia's busiest intersections.
A former National Geographic photographer from Florida, Burden is now one of the nation's top pedestrian consultants. He walks more than 1,500 miles and spends 300 days a year on the road advising communities and business leaders across the country on how to design for people, not cars.

'Dark Knight's' Hans Zimmer to Score Superman Reboot 'Man of Steel'
This will mark the composer's fifth collaboration with producer Christopher Nolan, on the heels of the director's three Batman movies and "Inception."
After donning the Bat symbol, composer Hans Zimmer is putting a big "S" on his chest.
Zimmer, who shares scoring duties with James Newton Howard on Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and is working solo on The Dark Knight Rises, has been tapped to compose the score for Man of Steel.
PHOTOS: '75 Years of DC Comics'
The Warner Bros. reboot of Superman is being produced by Nolan. Zack Snyder is directing.
This will be Zimmer's fifth collaboration with Nolan, including an Oscar nomination for Inception. Other recent credits include Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted and the Sherlock Holmes movies.
VIDEO: 'Superman vs. the Elite' Pits Superheroes Against Pups
Zimmer's boarding shows just how much influence Nolan has over the project; Snyder has worked with composer Tyler Bates on all of his movies dating back to his feature directorial debut, Dawn of the Dead, and including 300, Watchmen and Sucker Punch.

Pay gap shrinks between female and male feds
Female federal employees earn on average 87 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts, according to a new review from the Office of Personnel Management. Still, the pay gap between men and women in the white-collar federal workforce has dropped significantly over the past 20 years. And across many individual occupations and grades, men and women now earn comparable levels of pay, according to OPM's new report. OPM's review found much of the continued pay disparity between male and female feds can be explained by their presence in different occupational categories.

After years of frozen pay, furloughs and shutdowns, federal workers have a new, legitimate, complaint, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says. They are lonely and they are being watched at the same time!
Determining your financial ability to retire
Certified Financial Planner Joe Sullender answers your questions about retirement planning.

Medicare Part B: The $1,200 question
With apologies to Shakespeare, the most common question federal workers ask at benefits seminars is the To B or Not to B question. Should they pay $1,200 a year for Medicare Part B, or rely on their federal health plan? Short answer: It depends, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.
Tammy Flanagan, Senior Benefits Director, National Institute of Transition Planning
The Thrift Savings Plan is unrolling a "Take Five for Your Future" initiative to help you understand your TSP options better. It's using the number five to drive home advice on agency contributions, from the five life cycle funds to how long it takes to start planning your financial future. The TSP even has a video to try to make the learning curve extra smooth. Tammy Flanagan, senior benefits director for the National Institute of Transition Planning, filled in Francis Rose on In Depth.
A GS-15 walks into a bar: The bartender says why the long face?
When it comes to pay at the top of the civil-service rungs, all men and women are not created, or at least treated, the same, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says. Bosses in Houston make more than their counterparts in D.C. Who, in turn, out-earn their colleagues in Cincinnati.
The End Is Near ... again
A wise IRS employee, who is also a movie buff and student of life in government, says that every federal employee should see the classic film, Casablanca. The one where the police chief tells his men, with a wink and a nod, to round up the usual suspects. Seeing the movie should calm down some people who are currently very nervous in the civil service, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.

NARFE Legislative Director Jessica Klement will give us an update on pending legislation affecting federal workers and retirees.

Civil-service reform needs more than 'Band-Aid approach,' experts argue
A legislative attempt to reform the aging federal personnel system will face a difficult path in Congress even if it's able to muster the support of key stakeholders, including the White House and federal-employee unions. Experts discussed proposed reforms to the civil-service system outlined in a new report published Tuesday by the Partnership and Booz Allen Hamilton.
Ron Sanders, Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton
Today's General Schedule system is a "relic of a bygone era," according to a new report from the Partnership for Public Service and Booz Allen Hamilton. It says the government needs to be more attuned to the private sector. At least one federal union is criticizing the plan. Ron Sanders, vice president of Booz Allen Hamilton, discussed the details of the report with Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp.
How to fix the General Schedule to meet the needs of the 21st century workforce
The General Schedule was designed for a federal workforce that no longer exists, says former DHS CHCO Jeff Neal. But there are ways to fix it.
Election-year politics, pay raises & health plans
Is your 2015 pay raise going to be 1 percent or 3.3 percent? Are federal workers going to stay in their own health plans or will they be forced to move into one of the exchanges set up by the Affordable Care Act? Read Senior Correspondent Mike Causey's column for more.

More Info...I bought Kim ultra nude and khloè ultra nude, they both smell amazing and definitely makes your lips softer and smoother! It's quite glossy, but becomes into a sticky texture which makes it stay on for longer! I think both products are amazing and I recommend this! I'm gonna buy the natural honey stock gloss once it comes it stock because the colours look amazing!
Vicky, United Kingdom Leicester
I purchased the Kim version of this set and had mixed feelings towards it. The lip stick is very moisturising and I like the colour but only seems to last on my lips for a couple of hours. The lip pencil isn't great - the colour matches the stick and gloss well but the it's just so dry, it doesn't seem to produce much of a result for me. However, the I really love the gloss! I now purchase the Honey Stock gloss on it's own as I feel it is the best part of this set. It is shade Natural Honey if anyone feels the same.
Natalie, UK
I got Khloes shade and the lipstick is super long lasting!
Danielle, Scotland
the gloss is sweet and gorgeous and it really does leave you
with the perfect nude lip!
Ce produit me fait énormément de l'œil j'ai hâte de le tester!!
Cynthia, Reunion
Fast delivery! Lovely set at a great price!
Emmie, England
I love love this lip product!!! The finish is perfect and is nice for an under-tone every-day look. So if you like any of the nude colours worn by the Kardashian sisters then this is the lip product for you.
Omolola, United Kingdom

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/24/14 -- GuestLogix Inc. (TSX:GXI), the leading global provider of onboard retail and payment technology solutions to airlines, rail operators and the passenger travel industry, today announced that it has been issued a second U.S. patent, further protecting the Company's onboard retail and payment technology, specifically as it relates to the use of passengers' personal devices onboard. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 8,744,920 to GuestLogix and listing Ramez Hanna, GuestLogix SVP Product Development as principal inventor, in recognition of the Company's unique technology that integrates mobile devices into an onboard retail environment.
"This award by the U.S. patent office substantiates the unique qualities of GuestLogix' technology as it relates to monetizing passenger devices such as smartphones and tablets onboard," said GuestLogix President & CEO, Brett Proud. "With the issuance of this second patent, GuestLogix is recognized for its commitment to innovation and solidifies its leadership position in the global passenger travel market. As GuestLogix is called upon to provide its technology to airlines, rail operators and other travel operators who are looking to create self-service retail programs onboard, this new patent protection will be of significant benefit to our Company and shareholders."
On December 12, 2012, GuestLogix was issued its first U.S. patent, protecting the Company's technology platform as it relates to the sale of products and services via a mobile POS device that are linked to specific travel vehicles, such as an aircraft. This new patent, entitled "Systems and Methods for Integration of Travel and Related Services and Operations" goes one step further to protect the Company's technology for use in monetizing personal devices used by passengers within travel vehicles. The patent also protects the process, methodologies and technologies that provide targeted or personalized offerings being pushed to passengers within these mobile retail environments.
An excerpt from the patent abstract states that "one aspect of the invention is directed to integrating mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, etc., into a mobile retail environment commercial system. A mobile device includes a mobile store module that provides an interactive user experience that allows a traveler to browse goods or services that are available in the mobile retail environment." GuestLogix' next generation mobile solutions were designed to improve operators' abilities to generate ancillary revenues - a highly relied upon revenue stream - by enabling self-service retailing via passengers' personal devices, while at the same time enhancing the overall customer experience.
"GuestLogix led the onboard retail revolution and maintains its place at the forefront of innovation as it is once again acknowledged for the unique aspects of its technology," said Peter Nguyen, SVP, Legal Affairs, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, GuestLogix. "As per this recognition from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, GuestLogix' technology has gained additional protection that will undoubtedly prove beneficial in doing business moving forward."
GuestLogix has a comprehensive patent strategy in place with additional patent applications currently under review in the U.S., Europe and other international jurisdictions.
About GuestLogix
GuestLogix Inc. (TSX:GXI) is a global leader in comprehensive retail solutions delivered to the passenger travel industry, both onboard and off board. Bringing over a decade of expertise as the industry's most trusted onboard transaction processing partner to airlines, rail operators and elsewhere in the passenger travel industry, GuestLogix powers the industry's growing reliance on ancillary revenue generation. Both direct to operators as well as through partnerships with global leaders in catering, duty-free, inflight entertainment and self-service retail experts, the Company provides the payment services touching over 1 billion travelling consumers each year.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to mak...

UPDATE: This tutorial will also work in Windows 8.1 and later.
In previous article we told you how to change the background image of new lock screen present in Windows 8:
How to Change Lock Screen Background Image in Windows 8?
There are many people who don't like this new lock screen. Its useless for them as it doesn't do anything special. Lock screen might look good on smartphones and tablets but its of no use in Desktops and laptops. Also it requires an extra step to unlock the locked PC. If you also one of those Windows 8 users who don't like the lock screen and want to disable it, this tutorial will help you.
Today in this tutorial, we are going to tell you how to turn off the lock screen in Windows 8? By following this guide, you'll no longer see the lock screen in Windows 8.
By default, Windows 8 doesn't provide any option to disable lock screen but you can use following 2 methods to disable it:
- METHOD 1: Using Group Policy Editor
- METHOD 2: Using Registry Editor
So without wasting time, lets start the tutorial:
METHOD 1: Using Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)
1. Press "WIN+R" key combination to launch RUN dialog box then type gpedit.msc and press Enter. It'll open Group Policy Editor.
2. Now go to:
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel -> Personalization
3. In right-side pane, double-click on "Do not display the lock screen" option and set its value to "Enabled".
That's it. It'll immediately disable lock screen in Windows 8. If you want to enable lock screen again, set the value to Not configured.
METHOD 2: Using Registry Editor (regedit)
If you don't want to use Group Policy Editor or can't use it, you can do the same thing using Registry Editor. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Press "WIN+R" key combination to launch RUN dialog box then type regedit and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.
2. Now go to following key:
If the above key doesn't exist, you'll need to create it manually.
3. Select Personalization key and in right-side pane, create a new DWORD NoLockScreen and set its value to 1
4. Close Registry Editor and log off or restart Windows to take effect. It'll completely turn off lock screen.
If you want to restore lock screen in future, just delete the DWORD or set its value to 0.
NOTE: If you don't want to edit Registry yourself, you can download following ready-made Registry script which will do the task automatically. Just download the ZIP file, extract it and run the extracted REG file:
Download Registry Script to Disable Lock Screen in Windows 8
PS: If you still see Lock Screen at constant intervals, check out following guide:

Race to Innovate
Competitiveness, Manufacturing, and Trade Policy Analysis
Global IP Infringement's Significant Cost to the U.S. Economy
"Abdominal pain comes first. After three days, the kidneys fail. After five days, neurological dysfunction leads to paralysis and breathing difficulties. Patients who survive will be dialysis-dependent for the rest of their lives. But in the end, most will die." That's from ITIF Trade Policy Analyst Michelle Wein's gripping monograph, The Devil Wears Counterfeit Prada—And Sells Fake Glycerin: The True Cost of Global Trade in Illicit Goods, which leads by describing the mass poisoning of 100 Panamanian children in 2006 caused by Chinese exports of counterfeit glycerin that was really poisonous diethylene glycol. Unfortunately, that's just one example: each year, approximately 1 million people around the world die from counterfeit drugs, which account for 30 percent of global drug sales. And that's just the damage from one category of counterfeited products. It doesn't even count the damage caused by counterfeit foods, pet medications, electronic products, or the over 1,800 cases of suspected counterfeit electronic parts recently found across a wide range of U.S. weapons systems, according to a 2012 Senate Armed Services Committee report. In fact, the total value of the global counterfeit goods trade now tallies $1.8 trillion… Read the rest
Securing the Competitiveness of America's Export Industries
With Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank reauthorization once again before Congress—its current authorization expires on June 30, 2015—it's a good moment to take stock of the critical role the Bank plays in ensuring the competitiveness of America's traded sector companies and industries. As the official export credit agency of the United States, the Ex-Im Bank plays a fundamental role in ensuring the global competitiveness of U.S. exporters, as ITIF described in its 2014 report The Export-Import Bank's Vital Role in Supporting U.S. Traded Sector Competitiveness. Specifically, the Ex-Im Bank fills two key roles. First, it provides financing—in the form of loans or loan guarantees—to foreign purchasers of American products and services for export transactions that might not otherwise occur when private commercial lenders are unable or unwilling to provide financing to foreign purchasers of U.S. exports. Second, the Bank levels the playing field for U.S. exporters by matching the credit support that other nations provide, ensuring that U.S. exporters are able to compete based upon the price and performance of their products.
Put simply, the Bank makes possible U.S. exports that otherwise would not occur without its assistance. In FY 2013, … Read the rest
You're Ruining It for the Rest of Us: Ecuador and Intellectual Property
It appears that the global club of those who do not adequately appreciate intellectual property (IP) has gotten a new member: Ecuador. In the past few years the IP environment inside that small South American nation has deteriorated quite significantly, especially with regard to the protection of pharmaceuticals and biologics. And as the situation continues to worsen, those of us around the world paying attention are probably all thinking the same thing: You're ruining it for everyone else.
Indeed, Ecuador's weakening life sciences IP situation is just one of a long line of countries doing so around the world, including Canada, India, Nigeria, the Philippines, and South Africa. Ecuador's decision to weaken its environment for life sciences IP risks perpetuating this global contagion effect. For example, since 2010 the nation's main IP agency (responsible for ensuring IP rights, including enforcement and promotion) the Ecuadorian Intellectual Property Institute, has granted nine compulsory licenses (CLs) with 12 applications still pending. Six of those nine CLs were issued in 2014 alone, including one for Pfizer's kidney and gastrointestinal cancer medication, Sutent. According to the World Trade Organization's Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights … Read the rest
New Administration Budget has Smart Proposals for Boosting R&D
The U.S. corporate tax system hasn't had a major overhaul since the early 1980s, and it's getting long in the tooth. One part that is particularly dated is the research and experimentation (R&E) tax credit provision. The new 2016 administration budget makes some important changes to the R&E credit. The credit was first implemented as a two-year trial run over 30 years ago in 1981, and has been renewed continually since then, eventually adding an updated "alternative simplified credit" (ASC) as the old credit became too unwieldy in many instances. Despite proven success as shown in many academic studies, however, the credit is continually forced to be renewed. The new administration proposal takes the obvious step of making the credit permanent, eliminates the outdated "traditional" credit making a stronger ASC the sole form of the credit, and incentivizes R&D in universities startups by increasing the amount of the credit that companies can claim for outside R&D expenditure.
While the R&E credit has evolved over the past three decades, both its core structure and its temporary span have stayed the same. It is clearly out of date: the law still … Read the rest
R&D Credits Essential for Competitiveness: New Evidence
A new SSRN paper finds that research and development (R&D) helps manufacturers keep ahead of competition from imports. U.S. manufacturing firms in industries with strong import competition from China fared better 50 percent better when they had larger stocks of capital used for R&D. While this finding is intuitive, it provides an important piece of evidence that reiterates a critical point about the U.S. economy: international competitiveness is extremely important and smart R&D policy (including tax credits) is a key method of maintaining it.
The authors Johan Hombert and Adrien Matray use granular industry-level data on imports from China and show that these imports have a significant impact on the performance of U.S. manufacturing firms. They then examine whether this impact changes depending on how much R&D capital firms have. In order to make sure the R&D capital isn't related to other factors, they use state-level changes in R&D credit policy during the 1980s.
Their results here show that firms that had access to cheaper R&D and were thus more likely to acquire more R&D capital had an easier time "climbing the quality ladder" and staying competitive in the face … Read the rest
Congress Needs to Prioritize TPA Passage
Today, U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman will address the 114th Congress regarding the necessity of passing Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) as a predicate for completion of the ambitious U.S. trade agenda. TPA allows the President to "fast-track" trade agreements for approval or disapproval by Congress; essentially, TPA asks the House and Senate to accept or reject a trade agreement, without amendment, within 90 days of its submission to Congress by the President. The process enables the United States to negotiate more beneficial trade agreements with other countries, in part because of the reduction in approval time compared to other pieces of legislation (that often languish in committee markup) and because it incentivizes foreign countries to make good faith trade negotiations with the United States, since they know that Congress cannot rewrite the deal.
Presidents need fast-track negotiating authority because the simple reality is that finding consensus on trade agreements becomes nearly impossible if all 535 members of Congress get a chance to rewrite the terms of trade agreements American officials have spent painstaking years negotiating with multiple foreign partners. And as Representative Froman wrote in a recent Foreign Affairs… Read the rest
Mobile Telecom Offers Enormous Benefits, Finds New Report
Boston Consulting Group and Qualcomm have just released a new report examining the impact of mobile devices on the economy, focusing on the benefits mobile brings to small businesses and consumers in six countries including the United States, Germany, Korea, Brazil, China and India. The authors estimate that mobile technologies increase consumer welfare by the equivalent of 10 percent of total income in developed countries, and 20-45 percent of total income in developing countries. In fact, the total value that mobile brings to consumers is estimated to be more than double the size of the of the entire mobile industry revenue.
These economic gains have been enabled by remarkable technological progress. Global average cost per megabyte has declined from nearly 98 percent between 2005 and 2013, while maximum data speed has increased from ~10 to 250 mbps over the same period. These vast changes in cost and performance have made mobile technology affordable to billions of people around the world. Even so, more technological progress is necessary: 90 percent of mobile technology users report having problems with their connection. 5G and 6G technologies will continue to improve access and connectivity … Read the rest
Can Competition Hurt Innovation?
A new NBER paper, "Starving (or Fattening) the Golden Goose?: Generic Entry and the Incentives for Early -Stage Pharmaceutical Innovation" (summarized here), asks whether competition from generic drugs disincentivizes research. The authors, Branstetter, Chatterjee and Higgins, find that this does broadly seem to be the case: drug development activity decreases after generic drugs are introduced. This result highlights the important tradeoff between research and consumption. When consumers pay for drugs, intellectual property (IP) policies play a large role in determining how much of that cost goes toward future drug development.
Pharmaceutical markets are risky: drug development takes 12 years from initial pre-trial preparation to bringing a drug to market, and between the complexity of the human body and the extended regulatory approval process only a small proportion of drugs make it all the way to market. Of the ones that do, a small minority make up the large majority of profits.
This riskiness means that policies play a critical role in getting pharmaceutical markets to work correctly: if companies do not have incentives that outweigh the risks, they will not invest in researching new drugs and bringing them … Read the rest
IPRs and Access to Medicines: New Evidence
Intellectual property rights (IPRs) attempt to balance static and dynamic efficiency. By allowing innovators to appropriate a greater share of the value generated from their ideas, IPRs can create incentives for investment in research and development (R&D). With regard to pharmaceuticals for developing countries, incentives for drug development are critical, since many diseases prevalent in developing countries lack appropriate treatments. However, those in the global health community often allege that prices of new innovative drugs under patent make them unaffordable to most people in developing countries because of the absence of generic competition.
Thus, understanding the effects of IPRs on access and affordability are important for researchers, policymakers, and firms. In December 2014, Margaret Kyle and Yi Qian published a new paper investigating this with the National Bureau of Economic Research. Titled Intellectual Property Rights and Access to Innovation: Evidence from TRIPS, the authors examine the effect of pharmaceutical patent protection on the speed of drug launch, price, and quantity in 60 countries from 2000-2013.
The paper begins by noting that though the introduction of IPRs is an endogenous decision taken by policy makers, developing countries were required by … Read the rest
Everybody Needs STEM Talent
Evidence of the shortage of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) talent in the United States is plentiful. However, in an effort to stop immigration of high-skilled STEM workers, left wing advocates argue that there is no shortage. A new twist to their argument is to claim that STEM graduates do not always go into STEM fields and therefore are not in short supply. This reasoning falls apart rapidly. First, the U.S. Census Bureau definition of STEM graduates and workers, which is used to make this argument, includes psychology and social science majors, which are not what most people think of when considering STEM occupations. But second, it ignores the glaringly obvious point that in today's technology-driven economy, all sectors and industries-not just those classified as STEM fields-have a growing need for STEM talent.
To further this flawed argument, the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) has recently launched a new website ostensibly designed to increase transparency into the H-1b and other visa programs, but in function serves to argue that the jobs that are being filled by guest-workers are jobs that American's would otherwise fill. Unfortunately, the reasoning behind their … Read the rest
