Median Salary by Job
Students looking for a top value school need look no further than the University of Michigan, a public research university based in Ann Arbor, Mich., that is ranked in the top 5 percent of universities by ROI. Most often cast as a die-hard sports school first, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor students study hard as they cheer on the Wolverines. English is one of the most popular majors at University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, and the student ranks boast SAT and ACT test scores well above average. The numbers in this rundown were provided by the UMich grads who participated in PayScale's salary survey.

The UMich alumni belong to a wide range of sectors. A few fields in which grads tend to find work include the education industry, the consulting industry, and the software development industry. The automotive manufacturing industry registers as the most common industry among alumni. Consistent with the high SAT scores and graduation rates reported by UMich alumni, former students go on to earn high salaries. UMich graduates see an estimated starting salary of $76K.
There is a sizable difference between men's post-college salaries and women's: the median for the former is $84K, but the median for the latter is only about $65K.
Senior Software Engineers win the contest for best-paid UMich alumni, typically making around $103K every year, though Aerospace Engineers ($82K), and Mechanical Engineers ($78K) are not far behind. Executive Directors wrap up the bottom of the pay scale, earning approximately $60K.
Infamous for its meager salaries (average pay is the lowest at $65K), less than ten percent of UMich students still call Ann Arbor their home after graduation. UMich alumni in search of the largest paycheck, on the other hand, will find it in Seattle where $103K is the average pay. Chicago and New York also rank high on the list of cities.
UMich alumni can earn the most money (around $97K) at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPMCC). In contrast, below-average pay is the norm at the University of Michigan (U-M); median compensation there comes out to approximately $71K.
A medical degree leads to the highest pay for UMich grads ($192K per year). Ranking last in the compensation department are those holding a master's in social work — their annual income amounts to $52K on average.
Strategic Planning commands a pay premium of 36 percent for former Wolverines. Many UMich grads have knowledge of Project Management, with about one in six alumni using this program on the clock. Experience with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Office, and Data Analysis is highly valued as well.
Lacking in the benefits department, just two-fifths of alumni report compensation for sick days and only one in four survey participants get vacation time. Health insurance benefits extend to a solid majority of grads, and most alums sign up for dental plans. The greater part of survey participants plan for retirement by taking advantage of a company-sponsored 401(k) program. University of Michigan alumni are rewarded with additional benefits, such as life insurance, a casual working environment, a company-subsidized cell phone, and tuition reimbursement.
Median pay for Purdue University grads is about $73K, making their salaries most similar to those of UMich grads. Wayne State University, Michigan State University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago are also similar to UMich.

Recent Interview of Kristie Prinz for World Trademark Review
I wanted to share with blog readers a recent interview I had with World Trademark Review following up on the media coverage regarding the shutdown of TwitPic.

Challenges of Negotiating a Licensing Deal with a Start-Up
I recently gave a webinar on Negotiating License Agreements with Start-Ups, and wanted to follow up on that program with some comments for Silicon Valley IP Licensing Law Blog readers on some of the challenges that companies may face when negotiating an IP licensing deal with a start-up.
In the years that I have worked as a tech transactions attorney in Silicon Valley, I have represented a large number of start-ups in negotiating deals with large companies, and I have found that there is a tendency of large companies to approach deals with start-ups with the expectation that the deal is going to be really easy to close due to the perceived imbalance of negotiating power between the two companies. While there is no question that this imbalance of power clearly exists in this type of negotiation, companies who approach these types of deals with the expectation that the negotiation is going to be a cakewalk may be setting themselves up for failure. The very act of entering into a negotiation with a start-up brings to the table a set of unique complications that must be dealt with by the company on the other side of the table.
One of the first issues that a company negotiating with a start-up must contend with is the fact that the start-up on the other side of the table is likely to have a very low tolerance for negotiation. While large companies enter into negotiations as a normal course of business, start-ups often have absolutely no experience with negotiation, which may even rise to the level of outright aversion to negotiation. In some cases this is because they are relying on friends and family with law degrees to advise them who have absolutely no experience in deal negotiation themselves. In other cases, they may have skilled counsel that they rely on but just are unwilling to allocate the necessary financial resources to procure the assistance. It may also be simply due to a lack of comfort with the negotiating process generally.
A second issue that a company negotiating with a start-up will have to overcome is the inexperience factor, which can have a huge impact on the negotiation process. In my role as IP transactions counsel, I often find that an important aspect of my job in working with a start-up involves educating the business on the business model and even the standard terms that would be found in the type of transaction they are negotiating. More often than not, I find that start-up clients have never been involved in a negotiation of the type of deal they are engaged in and that they have never even seen a well-written contract for such a transaction. The lack of familiarity with deal terms may prompt start-ups to negotiate deal terms that are not even appropriate for the type of deal they are doing, and to even remove deal terms from drafts that are essential to the type of transaction they are negotiating. For example, I ran into a situation recently where a client removed a license grant clause from a draft being negotiated in a licensing deal on the grounds that the other side would never agree to it. The inexperience factor often results in start-ups being unable to make decisions in a negotiating context, or reversing their position on critical negotiating points mid-way during the negotiation. It also is not unusual for them to be unsure about where they want to involve outside counsel in the negotiation, including him or her in non-essential conference calls with the other side and excluding outside counsel altogether on calls at key points in the negotiation.
A third issue that a company negotiating with a start-up will often have to address is its confusion over how to manage the negotiation process. It has been my experience that a start-up may put all its energy and focus in lining up the prospective deal partner to do the deal but then find itself unclear on how to proceed and get the deal closed. This uncertainty can put the party on the other side of the negotiating table in a bind, prompting the more sophisticated larger company to take charge of driving the negotiation if it serious about pursuing the deal. However, taking over the deal management role for a start-up you are negotiating with will not necessarily move the deal forward either, since critical negotiation steps may be trampled over in the interest of deal management, and the larger company may put a standard template on the table that has no semblance to the deal that the start-up was proposing to the larger company. To make matters worse, the start-up may then be advised by friends, family, or trusted advisors with no deal negotiating experience that they should just sign whatever the larger company puts in front of them, which often leaves the start-up even more confused and the deal at a complete stand-still.
Of course, there are a number of other issues that may come up in the start-up licensing deal negotiation, but the bottom-line is that they are far from "easy" deals to close and they inevitably present their own unique challenges. Does that mean that as a larger company you should shy away from these types of deals? Absolutely not. Most of the innovation in this country–and even the world–is coming out of start-ups who are uniquely able to nurture and develop new technologies and business models. The level of innovation that I see among the entrepreneurs I have the privilege of working with consistently amazes and inspires me. So, as a large company, it makes a tremendous amount of sense to look to start-ups for innovation and corporate growth. Having said this, in pursuing deals with start-ups, successful companies should approach negotiations with their eyes wide-open about some of the challenges they are likely to face in moving forward with the deals. Appreciating the considerations of the start-up can go a long way to getting your deals closed with early stage companies.
Successfully Managing Intellectual Property Disputes as an Early-Stage Start-up
TechCrunch posted an article this afternoon written by attorney David Soofian, which caught my attention, addressing the issue of what to do as a young start-up if you are sued for patent infringement. In particular, the article addressed the challenges posed by so-called patent trolls, who use "weak patents to go after young tech startups" seeking licensing deals.
In the article, Soofian recommended that start-ups consider two key strategies to addressing patent suits.
First of all, if the patent at issue is on software, Soofian urged start-ups to challenge the eligibility of the patent, looking to recent court decisions in Ultramercial v. Hulu and Alice v. CLS Bank International for guidance.
Second of all, Soofian advised start-ups to pursue an Inter Partes Review at the Patent Office and to challenge the patent on grounds that it is not innovative and that it is obvious. Soofian explains that while this type of review was not traditionally available until a significant amount of expense had already been incurred in litigation proceedings, recent legislation has now made the proceeding more readily available to a start-up company with limited resources. Soofian identifies a number of advantages to pursuing this type of proceeding as a start-up over federal court proceedings such as the speed of the proceeding, the limited discovery required in such a proceeding, the fact that the burden of proof is lower, and most importantly, the fact that the court proceeding is stayed while the review occurs.
While Soofian's article suggests that start-ups need not throw in the towel on their business efforts when they find themselves faced with the prospect of patent infringement litigation looming over them, as a transactional attorney who advises entrepreneurs and start-ups, I would caution businesses who receive demand letters–whether patent or otherwise–not to respond to those letters in a way that invites litigation. The mistake I often see many young start-ups and entrepreneurs make is that they either ignore demand letters altogether or they respond without the assistance of legal counsel and do it in such a way that is unhelpful to their position. In most cases, what is really in the best interests of the start-up is to make the claim go away as quickly as possible–not instigating a fight with the claimant.
As Soofian acknowledges in his article, most infringement demand letters are sent with the objective of procuring a license fee from the recipient, and in many cases, it is going to be far cheaper for the entrepreneur or start-up to settle the claim, whether legitimate or not, than to run up legal fees in litigation. While there is no question that so-called patent trolls and other bad actors may take advantage of this reality, the savvy demand letter recipient will conduct his or her due diligence of the available options and respond accordingly with the information in hand.
The bottom line: Soofian's article should give hope to start-ups facing patent infringement disputes that will not necessarily run out of money and have to shut down simply because they have found themselves in a legal dispute. However, the savvy start-up will still deal with an intellectual property dispute in a timely fashion when it arises and try to resolve the problem long before it gets to the point of a filed complaint.
Trademark Commissioner Resigns over Allegations of Nepotism Law Violations
Trademark Commissioner Deborah Cohn was reported by The Washington Times to have announced her resignation today after allegations were reportedly made against her that she had violated nepotism laws. A Federal Times article from July provides some additional background on the reported scandal.
This particular Washington scandal has received virtually no coverage outside of the Beltway, so it was a little surprising to receive notices today that the Trademark Commissioner had resigned over a nepotism scandal.
If you are unfamiliar with the departing Trademark Commissioner, IP Watchdog published an interview of Commissioner Cohn in February, 2012, in which she indicated that her career with the Patent and Trademark Office began in 1983 as a trademark examiner, so she will have been with the agency for some 31 years when she steps down. (The second part of the interview is attached here). Commissioner Cohn was apparently not an appointee from the private sector but rather a career Patent and Trademark Office employee.
It is unfortunate to see yet another federal government agency affected by scandal, particularly the Patent and Trademark Office. With so many Washington scandals in the news right now, is it any wonder that many Americans have such a negative perception of the federal government? With all the tax dollars and fees that we Americans are sending to our government each year, wouldn't it be nice if we could run our federal government a little more transparently and feel like so much of the money that we are sending them out of our pockets was not being misused? Washington D.C. sometimes seems a world away from Silicon Valley, and frequent scandals only increase that perception.
But the underlying story here is still just how very hard it is to land employment for many Americans–even lawyers. For those of us working, we sometimes forget. Perhaps this story would never have developed but for that reality. Who among us hasn't been asked to do a favor for someone struggling to find work–or even perhaps asked for a favor ourselves?
All in all, this is not the kind of news you want to see come out of the Patent and Trademark Office. Or Washington.
Getty Images Copyright Dispute Against Microsoft to Challenge Legality of Recently Released Widget
Getty Images made news in the copyright world this week by filing a complaint against Microsoft Corporation in the Southern District of New York for "infringing and facilitating the massive infringement of [its] copyrights" through its release of the new Bing Image Widget service. To review the full complaint, click here.
The case is significant because Getty Images, one of the premiere content companies in the nation, has directly challenged Microsoft, which runs one of handful of web browser companies, over tools that it is making available to web developers to embed images in websites. In taking on one of the key players in the technology world, Getty Images obviously stands not only to potentially enjoin Microsoft from continuing to make this technology available but also to potentially create precedent that it no doubt hopes will discourage the continued development and adoption of similar digital technologies.
As anyone who works in the digital media and content industry today knows, embedding and framing third party content has increasingly become a very widely adopted practice on the Internet, and in many cases the content being embedded and framed has not been procured through any sort of license from the third party–it has simply been "captured" through a developer tool. I definitely have been receiving an increased number of client inquiries regarding various adaptions of this practice and where the lines are on permissible and impermissible uses of these technologies. Evidently, Getty Images is also watching how the industry is evolving and believes that it makes sense from a business standpoint to invest the legal resources into procuring further clarification on where the lines are as well.
While it's too early to predict what will ultimately happen with this case, any precedent that comes out of the case could have an impact on how the digital media industry goes forward. So, it will definitely be a dispute to watch in the coming weeks.
Twitpic's Abrupt Announcement to Shut Down over Trademark Dispute: Convenient Excuse or Full Story?
Twitpic announced in a blog posting today that it will be shutting down on Sept. 25th over a trademark dispute with Twitter regarding the use of the name "twitpic." Various media outlets have also covered the announcement such as Wall Street Journal and Time.
The reporting on this story has thus far not raised many questions over the rationale provided, but as an IP lawyer, it's hard to believe that this was the real reason to close down the business. Twitpic has apparently existed for a number of years: it is hard to believe that the company would not have been advised years ago that it was never going to secure a trademark on the name "Twitpic" and that it would not have been warned that a trademark dispute with Twitter was in its future if it went forward with this particular trademark without working out a prior agreement with Twitter. Yet, according to the Wall Street Journal, the company had attempted to register this trademark three times. Really?
A quick search of the most recent trademark registration filing for "Twitpic" reveals that the examiner issued an office action on October 23, 2013, refusing the trademark registration for "likelihood of confusion." In response, Twitpic filed a response to the office action, arguing that the trademark should be granted due to the execution of a coexistence agreement with Telly, Inc., which was executed by the parties April 22, 2014. The examiner then approved the registration for publication. At that point, Twitter filed the foreseeable opposition to the registration being granted.
Interestingly enough, the USPTO database reveals that in the prior two filings, the application never made it past the office action stage and thus never went to publication.
But it is hard to believe that the company never anticipated that Twitter would oppose the granting of the trademark if an application ever made it to the publication stage. Moreover, even if a trademark application had never been filed, it was almost inevitable that "Twitpic" would have to change its name sooner or later if the company survived long enough to generate revenue and get on Twitter's radar screen.
So, one can't help but wonder if the real story behind all the media buzz was more about money and less about Twitter itself. Could it be that the start-up had yet to come up with a successful revenue model and has thus just run out of money and was looking for a convenient excuse to close down? Neither the media reporting nor Twitpic itself has released any information about any trademark infringement litigation being initiated against the company. Thus, in all likelihood, simply dropping the trademark application and changing its name would have been sufficient to resolve its current legal issues with Twitter. I would imagine any outstanding issues with Twitter could then have been easily settled. But obviously, settling the issues with Twitter would not have resolved any underlying financial problems that existed with the company. Those would have remained. And perhaps the company would have been a little harder to find rebranded under a different name that was not so closely tied to Twitter. However, I would assume its customer base would still have been intact.
The bottom line: I think there is reason to suspect that the public explanation being reported on by the media is a convenient excuse for closing down rather than the full story. What do you think?
Landmark Copyright Verdict Against Media Companies Serves as Cautionary Tale to All
In case you missed the headlines late last year, freelance photographer Daniel Morel was awarded a $1.2 million damage verdict against Agence France-Presse ("AFP") and Getty Images after it was found that they willfully infringed Mr. Morel's photos of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The verdict caught my attention given the fact so many clients have received demand letters from Getty in recent years alleging copyright infringement of a Getty photo.
The case is noteworthy primarily because the maximum statutory penalty available under the Copyright Act was awarded by the jury. Also noteworthy were the facts of the case, which involved an initial Twitter posting of the photos and subsequent commercial media distribution of the same photos. See a report by Law 360 of the verdict here; and a report by Reuters of the verdict here. To see Daniel Morel's website, where a transcript from the trial is posted, click here.
Several news outlets reportedly settled with the photographer for undisclosed amounts, but AFP and Getty went to the jury with the damages question, which in hindsight was probably not the best tactical move, given the outcome.
As you might expect, AFP and Getty have already filed an appeal in the case, arguing that the verdict "constitutes a miscarriage of justice." See the appeal filing here.
It is hard not to see the irony in the circumstances of a company, who in my opinion, is an aggressive enforcer of copyrights in photos, now finding itself on the wrong side of a verdict against a photographer also enforcing his copyrights in photos. Moreover, it is ironic to see Getty raising outrage over the calculation of damages made by the jury, given the fact I often hear the same outrage voiced over the damage calculation Getty uses in its demand letters.
Clearly, this case serves as a cautionary tale to all who have ever taken photos off social media or the Internet and distributed them to third parties, or been tempted to do so. Also, it serves as a good reminder to respect the rights of photographers in their photos, as they perform a valuable service in getting the news and images out to the world in a crisis, and they deserve to be able to make a living for their work. Apparently even big media companies need to be reminded of this from time to time. I think the jury verdict in this case probably gave them quite the wake up-call.
Supreme Court Rules that Patent Owner Bears Burden of Proving Infringement in Licensing Dispute
The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued a decision in the licensing dispute case of Medtronic Inc. v. Mirowski Family Ventures, LLC, where the Court held that the patent owner had the burden of proving infringement when the licensee files a declaratory judgment action in a patent licensing dispute.
What are the facts in this case?
Medtronic was a sublicensee of a patent license between Mirowski and Eli Lilly. The original sublicense agreement provided that, upon receipt of a notice from Mirowski that a new Medtronic product infringed a Mirowski patent, Medtronic would have the choice of either accepting Mirowski's claims and curing the nonpayment of royalties or challenging Mirowski's claims by filing a declaratory judgment action while still paying the disputed royalties. A subsequent agreement amended this procedure, enabling Medtronic to accumulate disputed royalties in an escrow account in the event that it decided to challenge Mirowski's claims and file a declaratory judgment action.
In 2007, Mirowski notified Medtronic that seven of its products violated two of its patents. Medtronic disputed the claims and filed for declaratory judgment in the Federal District Court in Delaware while continuing to pay the disputed royalties in an escrow account in accordance with the terms of the sublicense agreement.
The District Court found that Mirowski had not proved infringement but had the burden of proof to prove infringement. The case was appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which concluded that a different rule applied, and that the party seeking the declaratory judgment of noninfringement bore the burden of persuasion.
The Supreme Court held that the same rule applied whether the patent owner filed an infringement suit against the sublicensee or the sublicensee seeks a declaratory judgment after being accused of patent infringement by the patent owner: the patent owner must prove that the infringement exists.
From my perspective, the Supreme Court reached the right conclusion: the declaratory judgment procedure and escrow option was put in place to allow the sublicensee to challenge the patent owner's claims while continuing to otherwise meet the terms of the license. The fact that the sublicensee disputed the patent owner's claims should not have shifted the burden to the sublicensee to prove that it had not infringed–it is logical to expect that the patent owner should have to prove its claims of infringement.
What is the significance of this case? The Supreme Court has now resolved the uncertainty that existed over who bears the burden of proof in a declaratory judgment action in a patent licensing dispute. The elimination of uncertainty on this issue may prompt more patent licensees and sublicensees to take the step of challenging licensors' interpretation of their patent licenses in lieu of paying the royalties demanded of them. In light of this development, licensors who become aware of royalty dispute with a patent licensee or sublicensee should consider the merits of taking a more proactive approach to seeking a commercial resolution of such a dispute with their licensee before the licensee decides to escalate the issue to filing for declaratory judgment. Moreover, this decision may impact the negotiating dynamic in situations where a patent owners seek to enforce its patent rights on a less than enthusiastic licensee, since a heavy-handed negotiating approach by the patent owner may be more likely now to prompt the licensee to file for declaratory judgment after the ink dries on a newly executed license agreement. Patent owners engaging in such licensing negotiations should perhaps give more consideration to reaching an agreement with the reluctant licensee that is not so one-sided that the licensee will feel compelled to challenge the agreement after its execution.
Steering Clear of Marketing Traps Around Milestone Events
If you are in the marketing/advertising business, your success depends largely on coming up with innovative new ways to promote a customer's product or event offering. Thus, when a milestone event arises in the sports, music, or film worlds, you may be inspired to try to capitalize on those events by tying your marketing efforts to the milestone event.
There is only one problem: the names and marks associated with those milestone events are likely protected trademarks. Thus, if you launch a marketing campaign without first procuring the necessary license from the trademark owner to use the trademarks, you will likely be the recipient of a stern cease and desist letter. . . .or worse.
What kinds of marks am I talking about? Marks surrounding awards events and sport events are just some of the major events that come to mind that likely have a number of registered trademarks protecting the use of the names. I recall, for example, not too long ago that a client came to me with a cease and desist letter regarding the alleged use of the word "Grammy" in conjunction with a publicized party. According to attorney Gonzalo Mon who recently wrote an article on this issue, he has clients contemplating the use of ring-based marks and reference-based marks to the Olympics right now, any of which could be problematic if the client is not an official sponsor of such event specifically authorized to use the marks in question. While I know from my own practice that marketing professionals have a tendency to grab and use third party marks without giving much consideration to whether or not they have the right to do so, and they often fly under the radar screen in engaging in such actions, it is not an advisable practice and it may catch a third party's attention, particularly where the third party is charging a premium rate for the use of that mark.
So, as we come up on milestone events, if you are inspired with a great marketing or advertising idea, you should always assume that the marks surrounding such an event are going to be protected and engage in some research before making use of a event-related mark or mark that might be confusingly similar to an event-related mark. How do you confirm that this is the case? Well, a simple search of the USPTO database for the name of the event in question would be a good starting point for your research. While you can absolutely run a question like this by a trademark attorney, searching the USPTO database does not require legal credentials, and I encourage all my clients to learn how to run searches themselves, as it is an easy skill to learn as a non-lawyer. Typing in the word "Olympics" for example, brings up a long list of marks, and should alert you fairly quickly to the fact that there are in fact registered trademarks surrounding the event in question that you need to be aware of. The same type of search should work for other events.
Of course, even if there are no federal trademarks in place surrounding a particular event mark, there still may be common law rights in a trademark that you might be infringing on if you use the mark without first obtaining a license, so just because your search of the database is clear, does not mean that you are free to use a particular mark. Also, you should remember that the database only searches U.S. trademarks, so there are trademarks all around the world that potentially could be a problem if the mark in question may have a worldwide platform.
The bottom line is that you should be cautious in marketing around events to ensure that you stay clear of legal problems in conjunction with those events. The success you achieve with such a marketing campaign could easily backfire and result in legal woes that far outweigh any benefits you received from your marketing efforts.
Supreme Court to Hear Streaming TV Over the Internet Case
Like many cable and satellite TV consumers these days, I have been closely following the new options on the market for streaming TV service and hoping that the day will soon come when I can significantly reduce my monthly subscription costs without cutting off my access to live TV. With the cost of living and working in Silicon Valley running so high already, expensive TV service is one of those expenses I just can't help but resent each month, especially in light of the fact I have so little time to spend watching television programming anyway. So, when I happened to come across the start-up Aereo, their business model caught my attention, as you could access a number of channels with their service for a very low monthly price. I remember thinking to myself that it was only a matter of time before there would be litigation challenging the Aereo model. I did not have to wait long before that in fact happened. As you might expect, a group of broadcasters quickly filed for injunctions. They lost in cases filed against Aereo in New York and Boston, as well as in an appeal to the Second Circuit. However, they had more success in an injunction filed against an Aereo competitor, FilmOn, in the D.C. Circuit. Due to the split circuit decisions, the dispute has already made its way to the Supreme Court and will be heard later this year.
At issue is the question of whether or not Aereo's service publicly performs copyrighted television programs Petitioners argue that the Aereo model "would seem to be an obvious copyright violation–an entire business model premised on a massive for-profit unauthorized exploitation of copyrights where competitors' prices are undercut because they seek authorization and pay fees" and that "Aereo offers precisely the kind of service Congress sought to prohibit when it revised the Copyright Act to define public performance to include retransmissions of over-the-air broadcasts to the public." The other side of the argument, which the Second Circuit Court of Appeals found compelling, is the argument that the Aereo model does not infringe Petitioners' public performance right since the transmission under the Aereo model is to a single subscriber and therefore is not a public performance. In reaching this decision, the Second Circuit looked to prior precedent interpreting the public performance right and the transmit clause of the Copyright Act in Cartoon Network LP, LLLP v. CSC Holdings, Inc., 5369F.3d 121 (2d Cir. 2008), stating that in that case the same Court had found that "in determining whether a transmission is to the public, it is important to discern who is capable of receiving the performance being transmitted" and held that a transmission of a recorded program to an individual subscriber was not a public performance.
I don't have much of a track record in predicting how the Supreme Court will rule on a particular case, but as a technology attorney, I am more persuaded by the Aereo argument than the broadcasters' position. I think that given all the other relevant copyright decisions in this space over the years, there is reason to anticipate that the Supreme Court should decide in Aereo's favor. Whether they will or not, however, is another question entirely.
Obviously, the Aereo model has the major networks concerned. It has been reported that CBS and Fox are already threatening to turn their broadcast channels into cable channels, asserting that they cannot afford to provide the type of content that they are currently providing from an advertiser-supported-only business model. Professional sports leagues such as the National Football League and Major League Baseball have been reported to have also threatened to move their high-profile broadcasts such as the Super Bowl and World Series to cable, and certain cable and satellite TV companies are already exploring building services to compete with Aereo.
With all the ways to view and consume content now on the market, it was almost inevitable that we would be seeing streaming TV companies emerge on the market and that there would be litigation in an attempt to put any of the more successful models out of business. I personally have been eager to see some changes in the marketplace on how I can access live TV programming, and I've been frustrated at the snail's pace that such change has seemed to occur, as so many other new technologies flooded the marketplace. Without question, a decision in this case has the potential to disrupt and transform the broadcasting landscape as it now exists. Whether or not any such disruption will be beneficial to consumers remains to be seen. As an interested consumer, I am hopeful that any change in the television marketplace that arises because of Aereo will be for the better.

Leading The Newsrooms' eclectic cast of exceptional actors is Jeff Daniels, whose portrayal of the typically-sardonic Will McAvoy is, as expected, wonderful. Unsurprisingly, the same thing can be said about Emily Mortimer, John Gallagher, Jr., Allison Pill, Dev Patel, Thomas Sadoski and Sam Waterston. In the case of The Newsroom, it feels as if it's the man, not "the machine," wherein the problem lies.
Kicking of the premiere with a wonderfully-crafted monologue for Daniels, much of the premiere follows in suit. Coming in at just over 72 minutes, the almost feature-length premiere felt, at times, like more of a collection of wonderfully written monologues than the character-driven series we've come to expect from the man that helped revolutionize single-camera series.
The Newsroom's placement on HBO allows Sorkin to do many things he couldn't on TV, but perhaps it's through those very same network limitations and time constraints where his stories became perfectly tuned. Slated as a 60-min series, there were many times where scenes felt like they could have either been shortened, reworked, or completely left out.
Sorkin perhaps felt like he needed to include a lot in the premiere episode, but a tighter pace would have made for a more fluid viewing experience, allowing audiences time to become attached to the characters on their own terms. Though one of the smallest television casts that Sorkin has worked with, very few characters, along with their motivations, are clearly defined by the end of the premiere.
With an orchestral theme song that doesn't feel quite right for the series, and a unique, sometimes chaotic, visual styling that separates (not elevates) The Newsrooms from Sorkin's usual pedigree, watching the premiere can easily become a challenge; it's hard not to come to the conclusion that some things are amiss with this series.

Slash your long-distance bills
Calling international and long-distance friends over the Internet saves you cash. Skype's top-rated Windows app keeps your audio and video calls intact.
In some ways, Skype's latest offering takes a step back, but in many, it's a jump forward. In version 4.0, Skype's VoIP app for text, audio, and video calls refocuses on Skype's core competency (and most formidable challenge) of delivering high-quality audio and video calls over the Internet. A new sound engine and bandwidth manager helps keep calls clearer and more stable as talkers reach out across the world, using the spectrum of high- and low-end equipment. The improved sound and video quality were notable in our tests.
Many of Skype's secondary features remain in version 4.0, like conference calling with up to 24 people, IM, history-viewing, file-transferring, and games. Yet some users may decry that public chats have been temporarily omitted, IM isn't terribly interactive, and the Skypecast partyline throwback has gotten the kibosh. Others may chafe against the new interface, a larger block that consolidates the classic two-pane look into a single window. Foreseeing this, Skype has made it possible to split them into two. The new organization places contacts and conversation on side-by-side tabs, and that is surely appreciated.
Anyone who's interested in talking for free should give it a try. For international callers, this program is a no-brainer solution for slashing the long-distance bills.

Istanbul police fire tear gas on protest over Internet curbs
Published on Feb 23, 2014 1:58 AM
ISTANBUL (AFP) - Turkish riot police in Istanbul fired tear gas and water cannon on Saturday at thousands of people protesting new legislation tightening control of the Internet.
Police took action to push protesters away from the city's Taksim Square, a focal rally point.
Protesters responded by hurling fireworks at police, who detained dozens of people, according to media reports.
The controversial law came into effect last Wednesday after it was signed into effect by the Turkish President Abdullah Gul despite repeated calls for veto.

Echoing Green provides first-stage funding and support to visionary leaders with bold ideas for social change. As an angel investor in the social sector, Echoing Green identifies, funds, and supports the world's most exceptional emerging leaders and the organizations they launch. Through a two-year fellowship program, we help passionate social entrepreneurs develop new solutions to some of society's most difficult problems. These social entrepreneurs and their organizations work to address deeply-rooted social, economic, and political inequities to ensure equal access and help all individuals reach their potential.
• Identify Visionaries: Through a highly competitive selection process, Echoing Green identifies talented yet unproven social entrepreneurs who are dedicated to addressing the root causes of social problems.
• Invest in Innovation: Each year, we invest at least $1 million to help Echoing Green Fellows transform innovative ideas into action. By applying entrepreneurial principles to social sector investment, we help launch cutting-edge organizations that transform communities.
• Provide Hands-on Support: We provide technical assistance and consulting to help new leaders build organizations, increase their organization's capacity, and manage growth. We also facilitate peer-to-peer learning to enhance leadership skills and ensure organizational sustainability.
• Connect People: We harness the experience and expertise of our global network of social entrepreneurs to share best practices and ensure success.
Echoing Green was established in 1987 by the senior leadership of General Atlantic, LLC and The Atlantic Philanthropies (APS). General Atlantic, LLC (GA) is a leading global private equity firm providing capital for growth companies driven by information technology or intellectual property. Founded in 1980, General Atlantic manages approximately $10 billion, investing between $800 million and $1 billion per year in growth, recapitalization, and buyout opportunities worldwide. The Atlantic Philanthropies was founded in 1982 to work globally to identify and support leaders, institutions, and organizations dedicated to learning, knowledge-building, and solving pressing social problems.
Echoing Green's founders had great success in the private sector and were looking to bring proven venture capital investment strategies to the social sector. Through the creation of Echoing Green, GA and APS have helped pioneer the strategy of applying entrepreneurial principles to social sector investing.
Named from a William Blake poem, Echoing Green opened its doors in 1987 and supported two successful recent business school graduates to work in the social sector. Although Echoing Green's program evolved throughout the years, we have consistently supported visionary leaders and their innovative ideas for social change.
Like venture capital firms, Echoing Green is in the business of investing money in start-ups. The difference is that we invest in mostly nonprofit start-up organizations that will deliver a social return as opposed to a financial one. The concept of risk is inherent in taking chances on new, unproven ideas and concepts. We believe that taking risks up front is important because we believe that the next big idea for social change will come from a robust pipeline of new leaders with innovative, new solutions.
Like some venture capital firms, we consider ourselves active investors — not just providing funding, but also helping our social entrepreneurs achieve their maximum potential through a range of supports including contacts, advice and technical assistance. Similarly, we view our fellows as investment partners, partners with whom we collaborate as they build and grow their organizations and with whom we hope to have a long-term relationship.
Still supported by our original founders, Echoing Green has celebrated numerous 10th Anniversary parties with some of our oldest former fellows and continues to search the world for the next new idea that has the potential to create positive social change.

Groups on the right accounted for 93 percent of the $8.3M in online ad spend so far.
Super PACs spent around $8.3 million on online advertising through May of this year to support or oppose presidential candidates. Conservative and right-leaning groups backing Republicans spent the majority between October 2011 and the end of May 2012. However, by the end of March when Mitt Romney all but clinched the GOP nomination, Republican groups slowed the digital ad spending spree.
According to ongoing analysis of Federal Election Commission reports by ClickZ Politics, 93 percent of independent expenditures on online advertising made in conjunction with the presidential race came from outside groups backing GOP presidential primary hopefuls - or opposing President Barack Obama.
The biggest spenders backed candidates who did poorly in the primaries - Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. Endorse Liberty, the most prolific online ad spender throughout the primaries, dropped $3.3 million on online ads to push Paul - most of it going to Google and Facebook.
Gingrich supporter Winning Our Future spent around $3 million on online advertising during the primary season according to ClickZ estimates. The only other group that spent more than $1 million on digital ads between October 2011 and May 2012 was Restore Our Future, the PAC backing Romney, which spent around $1,053,000. According to ClickZ analysis, super PAC spending for the presidential election started in October of last year.
In the period reviewed, $7.78 million went toward online ads backing Republican presidential candidates or opposing Obama. Just $556,000 came from the left, much of it to attack Romney.
Though right-leaning groups dominated presidential online ad spending during the primary season, the tides could be turning. In April and May, left-leaning groups fighting Romney or supporting Obama began boosting online ad spending. Of the approximately $448,000 spent on digital ads by outside groups in April and May, $339,000 or 76 percent of the two-month total came from organizations on the left.
Priorities USA, the pro-Obama group founded by former Obama White House staffers, spent the most of any Super PAC on the left thus far. The group spent just over $268,000 in total on online advertising through Democratic consulting firm GSG Communications since last year. Around $113,000 of that was spent in April and May.
Meanwhile, American Crossroads - the Karl Rove-linked group expected to spend big to fight a second Obama term - spent only $15,000 on online advertising thus far to influence the presidential race, all in May. The group is using Targeted Victory, the same firm handling online ad buys for the Romney camp, to buy its online advertising.
By the end of March, when it had become clear the Romney train was on track to win the GOP nomination, Endorse Liberty and Winning Our Future appear to have ceased online ad spending, if not most media spending all together. It seems the last primary for which Winning Our Future bought online ads to support Gingrich was the April 3 Wisconsin primary, won by Rick Santorum.
These independent expenditures - made possible as a result of the controversial Citizens United Supreme Court ruling - represent a new stream of ad dollars into elections. Before the primaries, some digital consultants anticipated a torrent of IE spending online, but that has yet to occur. Online ad spending appears to account for a small portion of ad budgets compared to TV, radio, and other advertising from super PACs. For instance, both pro-Obama group Priorities USA and pro-Romney group Restore Our Future have spent millions on television spots so far.
To offer some perspective, Priorities USA spent around $3.5 million on TV advertising (not including production costs) in May according to reports it filed with the FEC that month. The $50,000 it spent on digital advertising in the same period represents less than 2 percent of that TV buy.
In May, Restore Our Future spent just under $4 million on media buys with a firm specializing in placing TV spots, but nothing on digital advertising that month, according to May FEC reports.
The tallies presented here could change as some groups have not completed reporting independent expenditures, even those made months ago. For instance, throughout this month Endorse Liberty has filed FEC reports showing online ad spending from way back in January. Also, in cases where organizations listed television or other non-digital ad expenses in the same line item as digital advertising, ClickZ did not include those expenditures.

Just curious, what's the most miles anyone has gotten out of the stock set of tires?
I'm thinking there are very few that even keep them on the truck but I'd kinda like to use them up before I switch them out.
I don't have any problems with the oem tires at the moment but I've got less than 1k on them and I'm still babying the truck so time will tell.

Is freedom near for captive Israeli soldier?
Hamas says that Gilad Shalit could be released in a week, but terms of a deal with Israel keep shifting.
Amir Cohen/Reuters
GAZA CITY, Gaza
More than two years after Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was captured by Gaza militants in a cross-border raid, he is being used more than ever as a pawn in the battle between Israel, Hamas, and Fatah over the future of the impoverished coastal strip.
On Tuesday, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that the recent cease-fire between Israel and Hamas that calmed fighting along Gaza's border should be used to push for Mr. Shalit's return. And the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Hamas Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar said a prisoner swap in exchange for Shalit, believed to be alive and held inside Gaza, could conclude within a week.
But the reality remains complex and ever-changing. Hamas vacillates between suspending and reopening Egyptian-led negotiations over the fate of the soldier, and talks are now caught up in the terms of the Israel-Hamas truce and stymied by the internal Palestinian power struggle between rivals Hamas and Fatah.

Delicious, healthy, intensely chocolate brownies with a hint of sweetness. If you like them sweeter, add 1/2 cup more of Agave nectar to the recipe. Only 98 calories & 2.6 grams of fat per serving!Submitted by: CARLASKIS
This recipe contains agave nectar. Agave is a sugar-replacement that is sweeter than sugar (so you use less), and extremely low on the glycemic index (It has minimal impact on your blood-sugar level so you have more sustainable energy and you remain full for longer).

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Tres-Agavess-Margarita-238523Submitted by: GUNMETALGREY
This cake is a little denser than a traditional cake but it boasts just 4.8 grams of sugar, balanced by 4 grams of protein and roughly 200 calories per piece. I modified a recipe to accommodate my diabetic mom on Easter. Omit the raisins and cut down on 2 grams of sugar and 9 calories per serving.Submitted by: SNOWFLAKEJEN
This recipe is originally from "The Joy of Vegan Baking" cookbook, and gives original credit to Jennifer Raymond's cookbook entitled "The Peaceful Palate". It originally calls for 3/4 cup granulated sugar, but I have successfully converted the recipe to use agave instead. I found that the smaller amount of agave is not quite that sweet, but would be great for my molten cupcakes. Alone, you would want to use the 3/4 cup for a sweeter cake, although I haven't tried that larger amount yet. Now, my goal is to get this converted to using almond flour for a gluten free (and even healthier) delight!Submitted by: INTERPRETER2

I came up with this recipe when I had too many plums and needed to get rid of some! This is a dense, moist cake and a good, kid friendly way to sneak in fruit!
These are deliciously rich, soft peanut butter-flavored cookies. They are flourless and use an organic, natural sweetener - Agave (known for its a low GI value). These are also great if you are concerned about using sugar or a chemical sweetener. When I did a taste test, my family & co-workers preferred these over the ones made with regular sugar or raw brown sugar.Submitted by: ICHOOSEFITNSLIM
These are healthy and delicious. I love them because they're not too sweet. To make them sweeter you can change the ratio of sweeteners: more agave nectar and less cane sugar. I like to use a mix of golden and regular raisins.Submitted by: 8WEEKCHALLENGE

AUSTRALIA: I'm not sure if I'll have time to do exact end-of-year statistics for Facebook so here they are a bit early.
I guess we'll be exactly at 4 million early in the New Year? No wonder Facebook are opening an office in Australia.
On December 8th last year (2007) I wrote a Happy 2 Million Australians, Facebook post. So they've doubled in a year, in Australia. Not bad, when you are signing up a population of 21 million at a rate of 2 million a year. Stories of Facebook's demise are somewhat exaggerated.
Internationally: It was just at the beginning of December when Facebook crossed the 130 million monthly active user mark. Today, that number is up to 140 million.
From Facebook PR page:
- More than 140 million active users
- More than half of Facebook users are outside of college
- The fastest growing demographic is those 25 years old and older
- Average user has 100 friends on the site
- More than 70% of Facebook users are outside the United States
From Inside Facebook:
While Facebook has been growing at around 300,000 to 400,000 active users per day for most of the fourth quarter (based on our estimations), its growth rate seems to have significantly increased in recent weeks to 600,000 or perhaps even 700,000 new users each day.
If Facebook continues at this rate, it could add up to 20 million new users in December and reach 200 million active users by March. Keep in mind however that about 70% of that growth is happening outside the United States.
Facebook also released new engagement stats today about the way users interact with different features on the site. Some highlights:
- 13 million users update their statuses at least once each day
- 2.5 million users become fans of Pages each day
- 700 million photos are uploaded to the site each month
- 4 million videos are uploaded each month
- 15 million pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photos, etc.) are shared each month
- 2 million events created each month
- 19 million active groups exist on the site
In other words, Facebook's growth is speeding up and engagement is increasing.
We'll of course continue tracking all the latest Facebook stats for you here on Inside Facebook. To dive deeper on how you can engage Facebook's 140 million users through guerilla marketing tactics, Facebook advertising solutions, or Facebook Platform applications, check out Inside Facebook's Facebook Marketing Bible.
When my clients ask me to build a social network "just like Facebook" *groan* I say 'are you sure'?
4 Responses to "Facebook: Massive Growth"
I just looked up Facebook in Hitwise and Nielsen after reading your post. Looks like the average Facebook user spends over 180 minutes per month on the site. This is up from just under 80 minutes. So not only are there twice as many users, they are spending twice as much time…
Amazing, especially since I've barely logged into Facebook in recent months!
… I think the early adopters are on Twitter. Which means Facebook is just starting with the mainstream
I think it was Clay Shirky that said a technology doesn't get interesting until it's boring.
Perhaps Facebook has hit that boring stage?
yes it was
Myspace average age is now 35 year old women – hence Mothers Day campaigns and luxury brands moving in (Tiffanys).
Facebook average age is steadily rising.
Anyway, FB is boring – non-nutritious applications like Zombies and Vampires. Not enough rich apps like Scrabulous. No real synchronous communication. Profile and friends list based, not terribly useful for groups. Etc.

US regulator sues HSBC, Citigroup and others over Libor manipulation
Published on Mar 15, 2014 2:57 AM
NEW YORK (AFP) - The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation sued HSBC, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank and 12 other global banking heavyweights on Friday for manipulation of the Libor benchmark interest rate.
The regulator said the manipulation caused "substantial losses" to 38 US banks which were shut down due to insolvency during and after the 2008 financial crisis.
The FDIC said the accused institutions cheated the closed banks in US dollar Libor-based swap and other agreements through the manipulation of the rate between 2007 and 2011.
Libor, or the London Interbank Offered Rate, is used as a reference for some US$350 trillion (S$442 trillion) worth of financial contracts worldwide, from corporate loans to financial swap contracts.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Top kickers meet when Ravens face Pats
Saturday, December 21, 2013
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The day after Justin Tucker made a 61-yard field goal, Bill Belichick thought of a foolproof way to prevent such long kicks.
But once Tucker and Gostkowski get there, they don't miss much.
Tucker has two other game-winning field goals this season, a 44-yarder with 1:52 left in a 26-23 victory at Miami and a 46-yarder in overtime in a 20-17 victory over Cincinnati.
Gostkowski has been with the Patriots since they drafted him in the fourth round in 2006 and has made 86 percent of his attempts. |
