text: FACEBOOK GRAVEYARDFacebook Graveyard: Was Instagram Acquired to Shut It Down? (Photos)Instagram fans fear Facebook bought the firm just to shut it down. See other companies Facebook axed.Matthew DeLuca04.11.12 12:00 AM ET When Mark Zuckerberg's social network acquired the photo app Instagram this week, there was instant speculation about whether the popular photo-sharing service, for which Facebook laid out a cool $1 billion, will survive. Those fears aren't unfounded: in 2010, Zuckerberg told a crowd of aspiring startup owners, "We have not once bought a company for the company. We buy companies to get excellent people." The acquisitions Facebook made in the past, however, were usually very small companies, none of which compared in popularity with Instagram, a distinction Zuckerberg has emphasized when talking about the purchase. "This is an important milestone for Facebook because it's the first time we've acquired a product and company with so many users," Zuckerberg wrote in a post announcing the buy. The Daily Beast collects 11 companies Facebook picked up only to shut them down. Parakey Facebook made its first acquisition in July 2007, when it bought Parakey, a startup headed by Mozilla Firefox cofounders Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt. "The work they've done with Firefox and Parakey and their approach to building products fit right in at Facebook," Zuckerberg said in a press release at the time. Parakey's website went black after Ross and Hewitt joined Facebook's team. Divvyshot The fledgling photo-sharing startup was snatched up for its engineers, who joined the photo squad over at Facebook. This was the social network's third acquisition in 2010, and while the financial details weren't released, the company called the deal an offer it couldn't refuse. While the boys and girls of Divvyshot headed off to new projects, the site was promptly shuttered. Founder Sam Odio went on to serve briefly as product manager for Facebook photos before leaving to pursue another passion project. ShareGrove Facebook acquired this small group-chatting startup in May 2010, and the company promptly shut down its operations the next month. ShareGrove allowed users to send messages, photos, videos, and links to a group of fellow chatters. ShareGrove as such was no more, but not dead completely. About a year later, Facebook rolled out Group Chat, expanding on what until then had been its somewhat limited chat capabilities. NextStop Facebook was the last stop for NextStop. The travel-recommendation site got picked up in July 2010 and was swiftly given the coup de grace, closing up shop a few months after the acquisition. True to Zuckerberg's acquisition credo, this buy was about talent, not product. "Members of the nextstop team are joining Facebook and we hope that some of the central ideas behind nextstop will live on," the company wrote on its website at the time. "We're shutting down the current version of nextstop so we can focus all of our attention on what comes next." Hot Potato A check-in service similar to Foursquare, Hot Potato was sold to Facebook for about $10 million in August 2010. The social network had recently announced its entry into the popular location-services market with the introduction of Facebook Places, and again, this buy was about talent. The allure of working at the most notable of all Internet success stories was simply too strong for the Hot Potato founders to resist. "If Hot Potato was going to sell to anyone," the company wrote in a blog post, "Facebook was the natural choice." Drop.io Facebook acquired the site for storing and downloading files in October 2010, then pulled the cord. Users could cache video, audio, and other file types on the site, and it grew a respectable userbase, which included customers who paid for the service, before being scooped up by Facebook. The company's services were shut down gradually over two months after the deal was announced. BelugaMobile-messaging application Beluga was also given the Facebook chop after it was bought. The decision to shut the product down was made after the launch of Facebook Messenger, which was similar in design and concept to Beluga's product. In a move slightly different from some other acquisitions, Facebook struck its deal with Beluga in March and integrated the company's staff and technology, but refrained from shutting down the service until a few months after Messenger's August launch. Digital StaircaseThe photo- and video-application developer joined the Facebook family in November 2011 and wrapped up independent operations the next month, pulling its product from the Apple App Store. The startup developed mobile applications like MovieCam and SmartSplice, and the Facebook acquisition would help the founders "bring these kind of mobile innovations to a broader audience," they wrote in a blog post. MailRank The founders of this email-prioritization service shut down their company after Facebook staged another talent raid in November 2011. Zuckerberg, who back in 2010 declared email "dead," may have wanted to bring MailRank's staff on to help him perform a postmortem. Snaptu In January 2011, Snaptu created a Facebook app for people without smartphones. Zuckerberg must have liked what he saw, because only two months later he bought the company, and whispers at the time were that it would be killed almost immediately. The service hung around until the following December, however, shutting down as its staff focused on building Facebook's mobile presence. Gowalla One of Facebook's largest acquisitions to date, the location-sharing service had an estimated 1 million users when Facebook bought it in December 2011, bringing on its employees to work on Facebook's Timeline feature. Gowalla, which vied with Foursquare for control of the check-in market, shut down for good in March.

The English Toy Spaniel is not considered a hypoallergenic breed of dog. However, since you are allergic to dust and dandruff, I would insist that you get a scratch test for dogs as well. As you may just be allergic to what is on the dog, not the dog itself. In which case, you can make sure that with regular grooming, the dog doesn't effect your allergies. As for the English Toy Spaniel, their main health issues include Patellar Luxation, Patent Ductus Arteriosis (PDA) - a common heart defect, Mitral Valve Insufficiency - another heart defect, Cleft Palate, Cryptorchidism, Seborrhea, Retinal Dysplasia, Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease, Hydrocephalus, Umbilical Hernia, Open Fontanel, and Fused Toes. Unfortunately, the English Toy Spaniel has a lot of health problems that plague the breed.

If you plan on leaving your dog for the day while you are at work, please understand that your dog has to hold his/her bladder all day long then. That is very hard on a dog and can cause issues. Make sure you can come back at lunch time, hire a dog walker or pay a neighbor, family member or fiend to come over in the afternoon and let your dog out to use the bathroom.
Then too, you could always create a place to set up a piddle pad.
Every dog is different, as some English Toy Spaniels like to sit in their owner's laps, while other's don't. They are an affectionate breed of dog normally and are about a 5 on the intelligence scale for training.
No, the English Toy Spaniel is not an outdoor dog.
English toy spaniels do shed but not a whole ton. They don`t need tons of excercise but a daily 20-30 minute walk should be fine. A dog that does not shed, is affectionate and doesnt need much excersise would be something like a bichon frise, poodle toy or mini, maltese ,affenpinscher,bolognese,chinese crested,havanese, shih tzu, yorkshire terrier,mexican hairless terrier toy or mini,american hairless terrier,mini schnauzers, silky terrier,skye terrier or a papillon which may shed a little. most of the terriers that i put here probably need a bit more excersise than the other small breeds. hope this helps.
Every dog needs exercise. If you don't want to exercise an animal, then get a cat or a fish. The English Toy Spaniel needs about an hour of exercise a day. And yes, the E.T.S does shed, quite a bit actually.

Although we celebrate Indonesian Independence Day as 17 August, 1945, it would be wrong to say that from that day Indonesia was 'free'. Before we could fly our 'merah-putih' flag high above our heads, we had to fight, kill, be killed. Destruction ravaged Indonesia. It took 5 long years for Independence to feel real.
Here is the story of Indonesia's struggle for independence.
17 August, 1945
Sukarno-Hatta sign the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence: Japan, who occupied Indonesia during the Second World War, surrendered to the Allies on August 1945. Indonesia took advantage of the situation and declared independence 2 days later.
18 August, 1945
Immediately after Indonesia's proclamation of independence began the Indonesian War of Independence - an armed conflict and between the country and their old colonialists, the Dutch Empire.
End of September, 1945
British forces descend upon Indonesia to secure their victory over the Japanese and hold down before the Dutch were ready to return with military power (Britain and Netherlands were allies).
The period between Japanese surrender and Dutch return was called the Bersiap (get ready) period - during which the British occupied and fought Republican Indonesians. Many of the Republicans were non-military who fought with bamboo sticks and stolen Japanese rifles.
October, 1945
Warfare begins. As part of the Japanese surrender agreement, they were to surrender Indonesia to the Allies. By this point, the Republican Army already had power which the Japanese had to fight back for in order to give to the British.
Indonesia resists the British, and after several incidents The Battle of Surabaya began. This was the largest battle in the revolution and became a symbol for Indonesian nationalism. Today the remembrance of this day is celebrated as 'Hari Pahlawan' (Heroes' Day).
"As long as the Indonesian bulls, the youth of Indonesia, have red blood that can make a piece of white cloth red and white, we will never surrender. Friends, fellow fighters, especially the youth of Indonesia, we will fight on, we will expel the colonialists from our Indonesian land that we love... " - Sutomo, Military Leader

Is there any such thing as "INFJ eyes"? I frequently get told I have real INFJ eyes, but when I thought I was ISFJ nobody seemed to comment on it. What does the term "INFJ eyes" actually mean? Does it mean that the eyes are expressive? *confuzzled*
Clarification please
Plus it would be nice if INFJs could post their eyes too :)

need help making my new jeep amazing
2 Attachment(s)
I have a pretty stock jeep yj. Its a 91 6 cylinder 5 speed manual. The body has 181000 miles while the engine has 21000 miles on it. I have a roof rack but it isn't on. It has 31 inch wrangler tires. I have a new radio in it and a sounds bar along with smittybilt gear seat covers front and rear. I was thinking a 4 inch rough country lift and 33s but I don't have 2000 dollars. And I'm a 16 year old high school student. I was thinking a smittybilt SRC front bumper, some kc lights, an engo 9k winch and an 1 1/4 shackle lift. Any ideas. Sorry for the bad pics its best I could do to night.

Here are some more
I got it for a steal to. 2400 bucks and it is clean!
Good looking jeep and got it for an amazing price you couldn't do any better. You could do a rc lift for under a grand. That's with the 4in lift new shackles tcase drop and sye. Smittybilt is a really good brand they got some good looking strong stuff for a really good price I have their security console and the stinger front bumper. But welcome to the addiction.

So I bought a SRC bumper and love it
I have the same color Sahara Edition and they look nice with Gloss OD Green painted wheels.
Where can I get that paint or the wheels? Can you put pictures up?
I'll see if I can dig some out. I'm sure I have some somewhere. If not, I'll just take some :)
I did two coats of flat Olive Drab Green then did three light coats of gloss clear over top of that. The wheels themselves are the same ones you have on it now. Came out with a nice deep color and has been very durable. It is a little darker than the sahara green, but goes with it very nicely.
Sweet. I'm going to put a winch on in the future what do y'all think for one not over 350 bucks. I'm thinking an engo 9000 lb winch. I've only heard good things of them
Nice jeep, and great price for it! Sounds like with your budget you will have to be very discriminating on what and when you put things on it. IMHO, one thing I would do is figure out just what you want to set it up for, to what degree of wheeling do you want to do with it, and what type of wheeling, or is it for cruising around type of a jeep? Nothing wrong with any of those options, but if your mainly just going to cruise around why spend the $$$ on a winch? If your going to use it as a hard core wheeler, I would say the winch is not the first place to start...axle's ...gearing...lockers...performance parts first. You want to go to the trail and get thru it, not have to winch yourself thru it.
There is a thread here that has a slew of things others have done to their jeep for cheap, real good ideas, and best of all it focuses on being inexpensive, check it out and I'm sure you will get some great ideas...
Well really just some trail riding. No rock crawling but the trails can be pretty bad. What kind of axles can I get and how much are gears
First tell us what you have as far as axles the sky is the limit or more in line your wallet is the limit. Can do a ford 8.8 seems to be pretty popular. I did a 97 Izuzu Rodeo axle was a Dana 44 with 4.30 gears in it and I love it very little mod to get it in had to drill leaf spring perch 1/16th to get it to fit and need an emergency brake bracket to connect e-brake shock mounts to leaf spring bracket on driver side passenger side you need to fab or get driver front leaf spring bracket from the Rodeo you get rear axle from. Brakes are Metric so you have to switch them to SAE but that is minor. If you get the Rodeo axle get one with 4.10 gears it is easier to regear the front D30 to 4.10 as you stated you are a 16 year old HS i would just drive it till you break something then look at changing. Read, Read, Read all the sticky's at the top of the thread because they really help you understand your rig alot better. Also post pics of anything you do never know if someone is having same issue or thinking of same project.
Lastly welcome to the forum and new addiction. Go drive it and have fun!
Being 19 I was in the same boat with my yj when i bought it buy tires of they don't have good tread so you can learn what your jeep does stock and find what you will need to be on the trails just get some buddy's and a few tow straps and have fun
Stock jeeps do really well don't get mod crazy till you know what you need and don't if you want something better save no mods are needed they are wants keep that in mind
This is such great advice. :thumb:
I still have the stock axles in mine, and I dropped gears in, but that was a few years after I had the YJ.
When I dropped in gears on mine it cost $1000.00, had it done, and that was in the late 90's and I was bargin hunting, axles will cost as much and more.
Drive it and wheel it for awhile, and it will become more evident what and how you want to setup your jeep, learn what weaknesses/strengths your jeep has as it applies to how you wheel it, then start throwing a little cash at it...
We ride up on a mountain here in Arkansas and some of the trails are pretty bad and rocky. But no boulders to crawl over. We ride four wheelers up there and it beats up those pretty bad. But I've seen Cherokees up there some.
Where can I buy a set for d rings for my front bumper
Also what kind of vehicles can I get a Dana 44 or Dana 60 out of. Please put year model also
Looks great! I got my d rings at tractor supply. You want front axles i am assuming?
I figured front and rear but I don't know
1 Attachment(s)
Here you go.
79 Attachment(s)
What kind of lift should I get if I want to run 33s
79 Attachment(s)
Any 4" lift if you plan on keeping stock fenders/flares. But I loved my jeep when I had the 2.5" lift, flat tube fenders, and 33s. I had no problem with rubbing, and low center of gravity was nice.
3 Attachment(s)
Here's my 89
That is sick!
My axles are overkill... Dynatrac high pinion Dana 60 axles on 33" tires. Came that way from PO so I am not complaining :) My axles are bigger than my buddy's huge Ramcharger mud truck... woop! Too bad you don't live in the FL area, a guy is selling a set of Dana 60 axles off his jeep for 600 for the pair.
I put 373 Yukon ring and pion gears front rear. Eaton electric lockers front rear Super 35 axel kit Slip yoke eliminator Rear drive shaft Ford 8.8 rear axel Super 88 kit in rear. And I love it
Upin1212 what kind of lift do you have and wheels? Also what size tires? Axles?also seats?

(Taken from Scott's handy-dandy Blackberry)
The e-mail notice from UC's Ryan Koslen gave word of a media tour of the Jefferson Avenue Sports Complex at 11 a.m., Thursday. Seeing as I portray a media guy every now and then, I figured I'd show up and see what all the fuss was about.
While not every entity in the Tri-State attended, it officially became a UC media event when Enquirer beat reporter Bill Koch appeared, anxious as anyone to don a hard-hat and reflective vest. It's rare for a member of the press to have the opportunity to look like one of the "Village People", so Bill's excitement was understood by us all.
What was previously the ill-fated Sander Hall lot, the Corry lot, an ugly warehouse and some surrounding shrubs, will soon become another "footprint" of the Varsity Village design. After a couple of groundbreakings (one a Brian Kelly photo op on a bulldozer, then later a tent revival with major donors) serious work on the project began in March, with the initial phase to be finished very soon.
"With the changes in topography, it's come a long way," said UC Project Manager Barrett Bamberger. "We don't have any of the synthetic turf done yet--that's going to start next week--but you can really see the field taking shape now. Of course the half-field, there's that underground thermal (water) storage tank. That's got to be completed first."
The storage tank will hold four million gallons of water and will save UC an estimated $500,000 year in cooling costs as noted in a recent Enquirer article. In Cincinnati terms, the thermal tank will hold more water than what is used at Sunlite Pool at Coney Island off Kellogg. Obviously, that part of the project will be completed in the next phase with the 60-yard field on top.
On the other hand, the green light is on for the 100-yard field to be used soon by Head Coach Butch Jones and the Bearcats.
"This will be finished by the end of the month," said a confident Bamberger. "It'll be ready to be played on by September 1st and construction on the half-field will continue to the end of the year."
While the "bubble" is not slated for completion on the project until November, the additional practice space is welcome to a football team that has shared it's stadium with other Bearcat teams, various intramural sports, numerous amateur placekickers (hit one from 40 my sophomore year) and sun worshipers of every shape,size and dimension. Practices were technically "closed" previously at Nippert Stadium, but it was difficult to police in such a central spot.
Once the Jefferson Complex is complete, public access to practices will be limited, just as they are at most competitive universities. However, the added space will certainly enhance UC in terms of attractive facilities that are becoming more and more essential in recruiting.
Not only will the Jefferson Avenue Complex give football an eventual indoor practice site, the other sports will benefit and lacrosse will eventually have it's own home complete with stands, a scoreboard and a pressbox. Prior to this, UC was the only Big East school without such an indoor site other than USF in Tampa (where winters tend to be noticeably milder).
"In Phase Two, we have the completion of the bleachers, a pressbox, some restrooms as a part of that, concession stand, raised decks for filming and between the fields the viewing/filming platform," said Bamberger. "The full field should be ready to play on by September 1st. Phase Two should begin sometime in the fall and we expect to be finished with that around October 2011."
"I think this is going to be pretty unique," continued Bamberger. "I don't know of any other practice facility quite like this. Late November, we'll see the inflatable dome that's going to go over the full field. It'll be exciting."
The project for the last five months has employed about 50-60 workers at any one time. Eventually, it will be one of the first things you'll notice as you near the University on Jefferson Avenue with a main entrance planned there.
While many UC grads might reminisce about the great tailgating lot (Corry), the steep hill you might have tumbled down in celebration of a big win (or lack of coordination) or the incessant fire alarms at the old Sander Hall, you should take pride in knowing those landmarks have now given way to positive improvements in terms of athletic facilities.
Like much of the construction the last decade around UC, it'll catch you off guard if you haven't been on campus to see the changes. If you haven't been in town in awhile, you owe it to yourself to include UC on your sightseeing list as the Big East influence has dramatically changed the Bearcat landscape.

Re: Mathematica 8 and Alpha integration....
Documenting the behavior would, to a great extent, I think, amount to
simply repeating (perhaps in a somewhat digested form) all the kinds of
input that users of WolframAlpha use and the corresponding results that
are returned!
Part of the reason is that, remember, a lot of handling of user input
has been governed by the developers and maintainers of WolframAlpha
actually looking at what people type and seeing how the system responds,
then adding ways of answering a wider range of questions.

1. Which laser are you using ???
2. What distances are you sighting your lasers at ???
Thanks for any experience/info you can share. God Bless :smile:
Crimson Trace on a Colt New Agent
10 yards
With the crimson trace sighted in at 10 yards, I have to aim about 6" left with the laser at 25 yards due to the slight offset from the barrel.
I would love one of those guide rod lasers if I could afford one.
Lasermax "Guide Rod" laser on an S&W 5903. No sighting in required, and it was less expensive than a Crimson Trace. Wish they made one for my 6906 (EDC).
G19 - Lasergrip (leaves the rail free for a light) - used mostly for home defense
G26 and all 3 Ruger LCPs - Laserguard
I've also used the Lasermax guide rod laser, and the ArmaLaser, in the past. I prefer the Crimson Trace lasers, because they activate simply by gripping the gun.
I sight in at 7 yards.
CTC LaserGrips on my wife's G26. Sighted in @ 10yds. Excellent in my book. I have an older model IT (Streamlight) M-6 tactical that I like mounted on my AR15 and sighted in @ 100yds, and transition to my P220 rail without making adjustments or plug it in on the Rem 870.
Glock 27 - Crimson Trace LaserGuard - 10yd
Browning Hi-Power - Crimson Trace LaserGrip - 10yd
Thanks for everyone's replies. One more question, I know most self defense scenarios are 7-10 yards even less; for those of you sighting your laser at anything greater than these distances how bright are your lasers at these distances ?? Can you even see them ??? Thanks again and God Bless :smile:
CT, g27, stock setting
We sighted in my wife's Crimson Trace on an LCR at an outdoor range last week. We were very surprised to find that it is quite visible at 25 yds in bright sunlight.
CT for all my lasers....and all set at 10 yards...Glock 27, Ruger LCP, Kahr P380, S&W 340 & 438, Kimber Ultra Carry, KelTec P3AT.......
I think I would not sight the laser at all. The difference between aim and impact at any useful range would be constant, then. If I zero the laser to, say, fifteen feet, I would have a radically shifting aim point for anything much past 30, I would think.
The following is a short article I wrote a number of years ago to help correct some misconceptions people have about laser sights. The sighting in numbers here are only examples.
To really understand a laser sight, one must first accept the fact that it is a Line Of Sight device, and as such, operates in exactly the same way as Iron Sights, or a Telescopic Sight.
The Telescopic Sight:
By their construction, and the fact you must look through them, they are mounted (generally) on the top of the weapon. Also, there is a known distance between the centerline of the bore and the cross hairs (center of the objective lens) of the scope. For purposes of this discussion, let assume this distance is 1.5 inches, and the firearm is sighted in at 50 yards. When the bullet leaves the barrel, it is 1.5 inches BELOW the line of sight and is gaining altitude (in reference to the line of sight) and will climb 1.5 inches in the 50 yards. Past 50 yards, the bullet is still climbing until it reaches apogee and then it begins to fall. Depending on caliber, weight of the bullet, muzzle velocity etc, the bullet will once again, at some point well down range be zeroed in. Lets just say, in this case, it is at 150 yards. So in this case, the bullet/rifle/scope are zeroed in at 50 yards, and 150 yards. These are the ONLY two points where the line of sight Cross Hairs and the bullet coincide. The exact same applies to a laser, (mounted in the same position as the scope) or Iron sights. The difference with iron sights is that they are mounted considerably closer to the centerline of the bore. Also, if the iron sights are set to 50 yards, the second zero point will be different because of its decreased distance to the centerline of the bore.
Keeping the above in mind, we now introduce and compound the errors (as we see them) with the introduction of the Laser Sight. There are many systems on the market nowadays for mounting lasers on both rifles and handguns. Lets explore just a couple.
We have our laser mounted BELOW the bore centerline, either on a rail, or clamped etc. In this case, again there is a measured distance between the centerline of the bore and the laser. Again, lets assume this distance is 1.5 inches. When the bullet leaves the barrel, again assuming we are sighted in at 50 yards, the bullet is DESCENDING, and will descend 1.5 inches at 50 yards. THIS WILL BE THE ONLY DISTANCE THAT THE WEAPON WILL BE ZEROED. At ranges greater than 50 yards, the POI will be lower and lower.
Now, lets take a laser mounted below the centerline of the bore, and off to one side. LaserGrips come to mind on this one. Now the errors are compounded not only in Elevation, but Azimuth as well. Once sighted in at 50 yards, that will be the only point, both in elevation and azimuth where the POI and the laser meet.
On handguns, especially at self defense distances, a laser sight may well be worth the time and effort. But before deciding to lay out your hard earned cash, it is wise to have a basic understanding of just how they work, and their limitations.
I have a Kimber 1911 with LaserGrips. I have gone to great lengths to set the laser to parallel the iron sights. That way, I never have to worry about how the sighting may be different between the two. The laser is set, and treated as an iron sight. At self defense ranges, this will be good enough.
The Crimson Trace LG's come from the factory zeroed at 50 feet. I left them alone. I figured the POI and POA are close enough at SD distances that leaving them at 50 feet was satisfactory. I have them on a G30 and a Kimber TLE/RL
Thanks everyone !!!

Is my cat gutted?
I am wondering if my CAT is gutted from the previous owner, or if there might be other things going on.... I am running Cobb stage 1 on a "stock" wrx. The only things I know of that are not stock are the spt intake and an aftermarket muffler (thanks previous owner). When I monitor my boost on the AP, I will often hit higher boost than the map's target. The other day when out beating on her I had a peak of 16.6 psi. Is this normal or an issue with using the AP as my boost gauge? I get CEL code P0420 very infrequently which makes me wonder if my CAT is potentially gutted. Would gutting it cause boost spiking like Cobb warns about on catless dps? I plan on going stage 2 some day, but have other things I feel I should replace first since I have 123,xxx miles on her (suspension, probably my clutch, etc.). Let's hear your thoughts....

|Manaing Money: Spending and saving
So you're old enough now to have some of your own money. This money is also called income, and you're probably getting it in these ways:
Having your own money is a GREAT thing, but it also means you have to make choices about how to use it. Do you blow your hard-earned cashola on candy or save it for something that's really important to you -- like a new mountain bike or a trip to Disneyland? We asked IML'ers to tell us what they spend their money on.
Justin, 11, likes to go to the movies while Amy, 12, spends on phone minutes, clothes, and roller-skating.
Evelyn, 13, spends her cash on pedicures and manicures, and Emily, 9, loves to buy books. "I have over 400 books!" she told us.
Sometimes there are things you want or need to buy that cost more than the amount you have. For example, Randy wanted a pair of inline skates that cost $150.00, but he only had $12.00. In order to buy the skates, Randy had to save up for them. Other IML'ers told us they'd rather save their money than spend it.
But how do you decide when to spend and when to save? Can you do a little bit of both? Yes! That's the secret to managing money, and if you start learning how to do this now, you'll have these important skills for the rest of your life. IML will show you the way, so read on!

< Jun. 08, 2011 > -- Ah, the wonders of modern American life, with its fast pace, 24/7 news, and abundant food - but does it go against our survival instincts?
Some experts say yes.
"We were groomed for millennia to survive on too little," says Mary Jane Rotheram-Borus, Ph.D., at the University of California-Los Angeles. "We didn't have enough food. We didn't have enough clothing. Our genetic code was built on those who could survive adversity."
Today's always-on culture and cheap, convenient food is affecting our mental and physical health, Dr. Rotheram-Borus says. Our survival instinct drives us to enjoy to the hilt what we've got when we have it. So, Americans today eat an average of 1,000 more calories each day than they need.
And, in addition to the endless stream of information from the Internet and cable news, text messaging and smart phones add to people's stress because they "create a pressure to be constantly available," says psychiatrist Felicia Wong, M.D. That on-call status was once limited to only a few professions - from doctors to firefighters - but it now extends to all of us.
"There's no wonder people feel stressed out," Dr. Wong says. "Now mundane life is an emergency."
Dr. Rotheram-Borus says these problems are societal in nature. "It's structural," she says. "Changes in society have been major in the last 30 years, and we haven't adjusted our lifestyles. These are structural problems that have nothing to do with people making bad decisions."
Nonetheless, she adds, if something isn't done about this, we may face a future in which obesity is rampant, stress is overwhelming, and everyone is deep in debt.
What's the answer?
Doctors are finding that when people cut back - by eating less or reducing their media viewing, for instance - their mental and physical health improves.
Here are suggestions from Drs. Rotheram-Borus and Wong on how to cut back:
Establish a routine that follows your values - and those you want your kids to adopt. For example, make family dinners the norm, rather than an occasional treat. "If you value your kids more than your job, you need to be at home for dinner," Dr. Rotheram-Borus says.
Take a time out before making a purchase. Be clear about what you need when you go into a store.
Cut back on how much you eat, and choose healthy foods.
Turn off the cell phone and disconnect from other media for a set period each day.
Remember that gifts don't always have to be purchases. Experiences, favors, and thoughtful gestures can be just as meaningful.
For more information on health and wellness, please visit health information modules on this website.
You can effectively deal with stress, but it takes determination and patience. Learn to accept or change stressful situations when you can. Here are other suggestions from Mental Health America on how to cope with stress:
Learn to say no. If you feel overwhelmed by your hectic schedule, figure out what you can eliminate - and learn to say no to new responsibilities.
Pass up perfection. Be realistic about what you can accomplish, and don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it.
Prioritize. Focus on one task you need to do at a time. Decide which is the most urgent and tackle that one first. From there, go down your list one at a time. This will help keep you from feeling overwhelmed.
Have a support system. It's OK to lean on others at times. Taking time to talk with friends and family about what's bothering you can make a real difference.
Exercise and enjoy your leisure time. Step away from your stress by setting aside time for exercise, leisure, and relaxation. Don't use leisure time as a reward for completing work or chores. Build it into your schedule all through the year.
Always talk with your health care provider to find out more information.

Good audio set up for stock alternator?
Anyone know if alpine 6x9s and 6.5s are good for the money? or can you go better for cheaper? I have a current set up in my 95 imp that came with car that is in need of replacing all speakers and amps maybe with alpine. I have a Clarion 7 inch flip out motorized deck, arc audio 6.5s in doors and 4 arc audio 6x9s in rear. The speakers are powered by a alpine mrp240-f v power amp, 2 12 pioneer in a non ported box yes I know this system sucks but is not as bad as it seems.The subs are powered by a audio bahn a2810 (dont know much about this amp). I have a stock alternator and a duralast platinum battery, they say this battery rivals the optima yellow top. I want to upgrade whole system. Now I have a set amount I would like to spend as in if I can find a great deal on used subs and speakers Ill bite on those and buy new amps. I think $700 would be my budget, Anyone got any ideas for a set up? So far Im looking into a alpine setup or maybe fosgate, But hey Im a noob when it comes to audio equipment so any help would be appreciated thanks
stock alternator plus the big 3 upgrade?
No big 3 upgrade just yet
I also plan on getting rid of the 6x9s and get real good speakers up front, Any good ideas on this

The amount Australians spend on Mother's Day has grown to $1.4 billion - nearly three times more than is forked out on Father's Day.
A report by business analyst IBISWorld says Mother's Day spending was up 2.7 per cent from last year, with Australians aged over 18 spending an average of $77.21 on their mother compared with $37.05 on their father.
As more people buy for their mum in the first place, the total spent is triple the Father's Day figure.
Executive director of the Australian Retailers Association Russell Zimmerman says Mother's Day is the second biggest retail spending period behind Christmas.
''Mothers are the most under-recognised people in the family and partners, husbands and children see the importance of recognising that and making mum feel special on Mother's Day,'' he said.
According to IBISWorld, we have become pretty good at buying gifts that spoil: we spent $298 million taking mum out for a meal. Next was flowers ($193.4 million), followed by coupons and gift certificates ($134.3 million) and cosmetics ($131.9 million).
The biggest increase was in pampering options, such as spa treatments and massages, which jumped 5.5 per cent to $123.6 million. Jewellery came next at $121.7 million. Chocolates appeared well down the list, with $43.7 million spent, even less than on buying mum arguably inappropriate homeware.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Hello - Thank you for contacting JustAnswer. My name is Michael; I look forward to helping you with your family law problem today.
Hi Michael.
If mediation is not working, the next logical step is to file for divorce.
It's hard to say what you "should" do without knowing all of the facts. Remember, I'm here to give you as much info as I can about the process.
But should I still be trying to make mediation work?
How can I help you help me the best?
Well, what is happening in mediation?
What details do you need?
You said it "wasn't leading anywhere" Why?
We sort of came to an agreement ($80K I pay him over next 5 year), but then he started saying that he feels that he can't represent himself well and then came back saying he wants $125K in an ultimatum type of way.
And the mediator didn't assist in meeting somewhere lower?
Well he does not talk much at the mediator's office. Kind of stares blankly. The counter offer he game me in person.
Thanks. You just need to play it by ear. If you don't think mediation is working, go ahead and file, and you can still work on mediation in the mean time.
That sounds like a pretty solid option.
Lawyer says I need to do it right away or we might lose another month, but that he (husband) will get spousal support and it will set a precedent. I am scared.
I don't think he deserves anything, but this is not how law works, I understand.
Do I need to do this right away if mediation seems to be a dead end?
$3000-5000 she said (lawyer)
If it's a dead end, filing seems like the next logical step, but again you need to speak with a local attorney about it (which it sounds like you already have - and that is what was advised)
(For retainer)
So how does it work? I was a bit lost to ask all of the questions. Help me understand it. I file for divorce and pay the lawyer, plus I continue to pay the mediator?
If you think mediation will work, yes, you keep paying. If you agree to the terms in mediation, that saves you money in the divorce, because you don't have to litigate it. You just both agree and the divorce is final.
If you don't agree through mediation, the divorce costs quite a bit more.
The whole point of mediation is to save you money in the long run.
Yes. But there is no way to hold a person to there word or iven what was agreed to it seems.
We're on a 10 year mark of our marriage.
The mediation just helps you get to agreed terms. It would not be binding. If you don't think he'll agree, just file. You're wasting money otherwise.
Mediation saves you both money, so it's in both your interests to do so.
Well he has only what I have, so I guess he had no vested interest...
So then for divorce it's just what the guidelines on our state are? He gets 3rd of the difference between our salaries for half of our marriage? What does lawyer do then?
In a contested marriage, the lawyer does quite a bit. He files the divorce, makes sure the financial statements are correct, performs discovery to make sure your husband is providing everything he needs to, and argues your case for the Judge.
The guidelines are minimum. The Judge can go over and beyond them.
Judge can award less than minimum?
No. As I mentioned, I said over and beyond.
I am still getting a grip on the situation.
So the best my lawyer can do is to get to the minimum guidelines?
As far as what you pay for support, yes.
Is there anything I should be doing now except filling for divorce and see if there is a point in continuing mediation?
The only other thing I could suggest is to protect your joint account and make sure he doesn't take more than he already has.
I have put a freeze on everything I could think of.
Sounds good. The next step is to go back and talk to your local attorney about filing.
I changed the locks in out house too. (I am renting him an apartment)
Don't know even if I can change the locks in the house according to law ((
But I was a little scared.
Both of our names are XXXXX XXXXX lease.
But I am rambling.
You can change them. And he can break in a window.
He can?
Sure. It's his property.
Does that answer all of your questions?
I don't know. But I don't have any more I can think of right now. Thank you for your help.
Where do I pay?
I'll follow up with you in a couple weeks to see how you're doing.
All you need to do is click the Rate button (and I hope it's a good one). I believe you've already paid.
Have a good evening
You too!
If I can answer anything further, let me know. Remember, I'm here to help and your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you don't have any questions and you valued my time, I'd ask you to consider rating me positively. Take care,Michael
Do you need any help?

AMERICAN IDOL: Losing Money
This season of American Idol is expected to do something it has never done before -- lose money.
According to TMZ, the show which has been extremely profitable for Fox, will go into the red this season. The reason for the loss is due in part to what it's paying Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Seacrest. But that's not all. The show spent millions on a new set this year and is still paying two former executive producers who were let go after last season.
Ratings are also down from last season which means less advertising revenue. But despite its losses, American Idol isn't expected to go belly-up anytime soon. (TMZ)

Ports of Auckland - Port Zone In Place Since 1987by Ports of Auckland on 2012-01-29 22:49:46
In the context of the Auckland Plan process, the Port's key interest is in protecting the current port zone, which has been through two public submissions processes and has been in place and public since 1987.
The zone effectively allows the option for port expansion in the future, but any actual proposals for expansion of Port operations would then be subject to widespread public consultation and Resource Consent processes.
The Port is not seeking any development consents now. The Auckland Plan would only preserve the existing zone and that would not give the Port a right to development.
Ports of Auckland General Manager of Infrastructure, Ben Chrystall says any future development of the Port will be subject to rigorous evaluation during resource consent processes.
"Future development for the Port in step with population, economic and freight growth over the next few decades is an important point for Aucklanders to consider and debate over the long term. "
About Ports of Auckland
Ports of Auckland Ltd is New Zealand's most important port, handling around 894,000 TEU (20ft-equivalent units), more than 1,500 ship calls and 3.5 m tonnes of break-bulk (non-containerised) cargo per annum. It is New Zealand's leading import port and a key partner to export and import industries, as well as New Zealand's premier cruise port and vehicle import gateway. Ports of Auckland is 100%-owned by Auckland Council Investments Ltd.

Jesus Discipleship Model vs What Actually Happens in many Churches
Jesus Discipleship Model vs What Actually Happens in many Churches Today
His call to future disciples was, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." This involved leaving everything and entering a personal relationship with Him.
Churches today
Our call is, "Bow your head and repeat after me." This involves quietly whispering that Jesus is your Lord, admitting you've made mistakes, and little else.
Jesus taught His disciples to avoid anger, lust, pride, selfishness, divorce and revenge while loving the unlovable and giving to to the poor.
Churches today
We teach our attendees to come Sunday mornings, own a bible, and give a small percentage of their income to the organization.
He taught His disciples to pray regularly to their Father in heaven about all things with faith.

Grace is Free and So are You.
Don't let the gift of His righteousness to you detract you from His desire for Holiness for you.
Can the grace of God be resisted? I think it can. I see people resisting God all the time. If I was God, thankfully I am not, people would be dropping like flies all of the time. The second a child is molested flesh eating bacteria would consume the molester. The instant a woman is battered a rabid great white shark would devour the abuser. When somebody spreads hate and ignorance, their tongues would swell, their faces would explode, and their lips would shrivel. I wouldn't even be able to survive myself. These are some of the many reasons I am glad I am not God.
What is grace? Grace can be thought of as "the supernatural assistance of God" In classical Greek, the language of the New Testament, it means, 'that which brings delight, joy, happiness, or good fortune.' It carries the idea in the Old and New Testaments of the Divine mercy of God, and His unearned favor.
Can we resist God's help? Can we resist delight, joy, and happiness? I have.
What does the Scripture say? Maybe, we should read the bible before we make a decision. (#justsaying) It's not like we should, actually, base our beliefs on scripture or anything.
Titus 2:11-14 ESV
1 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. #
Who has grace appeared for? Does everyone experience salvation? Does everyone live upright self-controlled lives?
2 Corinthians 6:1 ESV
"Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain." For the same verse, the Message says, "Companions as we are in this work with you, we beg you, please don't squander one bit of this marvelous life God has given us"
Why would Paul ask them to make grace meaningful if it was impossible to make worthless? Can someone squander their lives?
Galatians 1:6 ESV
"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—"
Were the Galatians actually turning from Him who called them in Grace or was Paul lying?
2 Peter 3:18 ESV
"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."
Why would Peter ask someone to grow in grace if it was out of their control? Do you tell your kids to grow physically? No, because that is automatic. But, do tell them togrow up emotionally or spiritual because that is a choice.
Hebrews 12:15 ESV
"See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;"
Why warn against failing to obtain the grace of God? Does God just like to hear His own voice?
I Corinthians 15:10-11 ESV
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. The Message says, "But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I'm not about to let his grace go to waste."
Why does Paul mention working according to the grace that was given him? If it was all grace and nothing of Paul, then Paul is clearly deceived in this verse.
Final Thoughts
Or, maybe He did work with that grace. Maybe, we can fall short of that grace through bitterness. Maybe, we can turn away from Christ. Maybe, the grace of God can be meaningless in our lives. Maybe, more people could experience salvation if they turned to Him.
Some believe that God forces Himself on some and ignores others. But, I don't think that's what scripture teaches. I'm not sure how our free will intermingles with God's perfect will. I don't understand how the verses that speak about God's predestining things work with these verses, but I don't want to fall short. I don't want God's grace to be meaningless in my life.

American Church Attendance is Falling
It's called the New Exodus.
An 85% drop in church attendance during the last two weeks is emptying America's churches and has left church leaders from every denomination scrambling to figure out why the pews are empty. A recent study of those who have stopped attending church services sheds light on the New Exodus.
Overextended families are hardest hit. "My family and I are too busy for church. We had to stop something. Between fishing, American Idol reruns, soccer practice, renting movies, and Facebook, we don't have time to focus on God." Mike Weinberg, Gary, IN.
Some have cited "lack of motivation" and the "desire to chill" as the reasons he wouldn't be coming back. "I still believe in God and everything. It's just that I've got a lot going on, and could really use some down time on Sundays." Rajam Prasheed, Litchfield, IL
"It's really hard to pay attention on Sunday anyway" remarks Jill Haskins of New Orlean, LA. "I spend most Saturday evenings watching reruns of Hoarders on TLC until 3:30 am, and don't have the energy for 'church stuff.'"
Others have stated an inability to focus during long sermons that have no relevance to their actual lives. "12 minutes into the average sermon, I'm fading. It takes all myself control not to fall asleep or get up and walk out on most Sundays. 20 minutes in, I'm white knuckling the armrests on the pew. Last week, I decided, I'm not doing it anymore. I'm not coming back. If it wasn't for Facebook, my weather app and ESPN on my Iphone, I'd have left a long time ago." Jim Guest. Watercreak, MS.
Tom from Fresno, CA said, "I can't take it anymore. I'm sitting there listening to some guy talk about the goat herding practices of ancient Syria, and all I can think about is MY WIFE IS LEAVING ME. I mean sure, those goats are important and all, but what can I do to save my marriage?"
Other Christians have decided to stop faking the front. Jane Wotham, from Lansing, MI, says she's not going back because, "I've been going to church for the last 20 years, and haven't really changed anything in my life. I'm basically the same bitter, self-involved jerk I've always been. Let's be honest. I'm not doing anything else the Bible teaches so it's only logical that I ignore those parts about gathering together."
Redundant worship music is the reason Sandra Wheeler is leaving the Pew to the Few. "If I hear one more chorus of "How Great is Our God." I swear, I mean, I promise, I'm going to rip my own ears off with my bare hands."
"I can't take it anymore," explains Dale Chandler, "I know I serve an Awesome God, but doesn't He deserve a new song once in a while. Don't get me wrong. I love God and enjoy music, but after 49 minutes of Oh How He loves us, I start to question my faith."
The nation's pastors and parishioners are adjusting to the change.
Surprisingly congregational giving has remained stable. "Our offerings haven't really gone down. "The 15% of the people who've stayed have been carrying the financial load for years." Pastor Bill Frye of Seabring, FL
Heather, someone who is still going to church, likes the change, "it's kinda nice, I mean, everyone there on a Sunday actually wants to be there; people are signing and stuff, and the pastor is able to actually talk straight with us. He isn't watering it down to keep those other guys happy."
"If you think about it, it's really great. I'm spending my time helping people who actually want help instead of trying to be the spiritual cheerleader of the walking dead. Though, It's kinda hard to preach now that everyone is paying attention. It keeps me on my toes." Bill Fyre, Coopersvile, VA.
Story Update::: Some have been wondering where this survey was conducted. It wasn't. It's a joke.

A number of work sessions will be conducted by the Culver Town Council next week.
On Monday, Aug. 6, the council will meet to review budgets for the police department, clerk's department, and motor vehicle highway. This meeting will take place at 3:30 p.m. in the Culver Town Hall. The council will also meet on Aug. 7 at 3:30 p.m. to review budgets for the fire department, EMS, and park department.
A second work session is also scheduled for Aug. 7 at 6:30 p.m. at the Culver Coffee Company, located at 634 E. Lake Shore Drive in Culver. The council will meet with downtown merchants to discuss ways to improve the business climate in Culver.
These meetings are open to the public.
Besides working on budgets, Culver Town Manager David Schoeff says the town is also still working on updating their comprehensive plan. He says the council is hoping to submit a request for proposals for the plan soon. The current plan is nearly 20 years old, and Schoeff says it's time to reevaluate Culver, and plan ahead for the next 20 years.

An experimental and theoretical investigation of flow in a gross pollutant trap

Flow through a gross pollutant trap (GPT) with fully blocked screens is investigated experimentally and theoretically using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Due to the wide range of possible flow regimes, an experimental approach is developed which uses a downstream weir arrangement to control the nature of the flow and the variation in free surface height. To determine the overall flow structure, measurements are taken at a fixed depth throughout the trap with an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV), including velocity profile data across three cross sections of the GPT suitable for more detailed comparison with simulations. Observations of the near-wall flow features at the free surface are also taken, due to their likely importance for understanding litter capture and retention in the GPT. Complementary CFD modelling (using Fluent 6.3) is performed using a two-dimensional k-ε turbulence model along with either standard wall law boundary conditions or enhanced near-wall modelling approaches. Comparison with experiments suggest that neither CFD modelling approach could be considered as clearly superior to the other, despite the significant difference in near-wall mesh refinement and modelling that is involved. The experimental approach taken here is found useful to control the flow regime in the GPT and further experiments are recommended to study a greater range of flow conditions.

Cotage Fromage closed for business
Vrede en Lust announced the closure of Cotage Fromage Restaurant, which has been trading independently from Vrede en Lust as YellowSpot Trading 21 CC, for the last five years. YellowSpot Trading rented the premises and contents from Vrede en Lust and has been battling financially for the last two years. Vrede en Lust in the end had no choice but to terminate the YellowSpot lease with effect of the 26th of May 2013.
The restaurant will be closed until further notice. Vrede en Lust has started with the process of finding a new tenant for the farm restaurant and hopes to communicate news in this regard during June. The restaurant will also be upgraded and improved under management of a new operator to ensure we deliver a product, to the same high standards as the Vrede en Lust Cellar Door and Hospitality operations. The new restaurant will be open in time for the upcoming season and will continue to deliver a high quality catering experience to our clients making use of our hospitality facilities.
"The Franschhoek valley has changed a lot in the last five years, with stiff new competition opening up around us all the time. It is a very competitive valley and one has to keep up with changing times and environment. We are confident that the new restaurant will cater to the needs of today's marketplace and compete as well as Vrede en Lust does," says Etienne Buys, managing partner of Vrede en Lust.

Oven-Fried Chicken Breasts
"I admit that nothing can stand in for good fried chicken," says John Currence. "But this is a hell of an impostor." He adds sweet tea to his marinade; the tannins help tenderize the poultry while the sugar gives it a light cure. The accompanying gravy gets a ton of flavor from strips of caramelized onion.
Slideshow: Fast and Easy Chicken Recipes
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- Time(Other): Plus overnight marinating
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (5 ounces each)
- 4 cups brewed sweetened iced tea
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Tabasco
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked hot Spanish paprika (pimentón de la Vera)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 large white onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Pinch of sugar
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
How to make this recipe
Make the Gravy:
In a resealable plastic bag, coat the chicken with the tea, Worcestershire, Tabasco, thyme and 1 tablespoon of salt. Refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 375°. In a bowl, combine the flour, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and 1 teaspoon of salt. Drain the chicken, pick off the thyme and dredge in the seasoned flour.
In a large ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt the butter in the oil. Add the chicken and cook over high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook for 2 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to the oven and roast until white throughout, 5 minutes.
Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the onion, cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the thyme and sugar and cook until the onion is caramelized, 15 minutes. Add the sherry and cook until evaporated. Whisk in the chicken stock and dissolved cornstarch and bring to a boil, stirring, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the gravy over the chicken and serve.
Suggested Pairing
Bold, berry-rich rosé.

You control resistance on your bike to make the pedaling as easy or difficult as you choose. Constant adjustment is normal.
All you'll need is workout clothes, a towel (to wipe your face) and a water bottle.
Stationary bikes have toe clips so you can wear tennis shoes. But many pedals also work with Shimano-style SPD cleats.
Pilates exercises focus on the "powerhouse," or the stabilizing muscles of the torso, which support the spine. True for exercises performed both on the mat and the apparatus, every movement one does in a Pilates workout emanates from the core, keeping practitioners "honest," by gently forcing them to use both sides of the body symmetrically. In order to successfully initiate and achieve a movement, both sides have to participate equally, giving the dominant, overused muscles a break, and demanding that the "weaker" underutilized muscles have an opportunity to participate, hence, literally balancing the body.
Working out at a slower pace? These classes are designed for individuals who need to get a great workout without all the strain. Whether it's from injury recovery, range of motion limitations, or simply getting older, you can still enjoy the benefits of revitalizing your body in Aqua Aerobics, Silver Sneakers, and Yoga.Read More

Do Economists Make Markets?: On the Performativity of Economics
by Donald MacKenzie
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0691138494, Paperback)
Around the globe, economists affect markets by saying what markets are doing, what they should do, and what they will do. Increasingly, experimental economists are even designing real-world markets. But, despite these facts, economists are still largely thought of as scientists who merely observe markets from the outside, like astronomers look at the stars. Do Economists Make Markets? boldly challenges this view. It is the first book dedicated to the controversial question of whether economics is performative--of whether, in some cases, economics actually produces the phenomena it analyzes.
The book's case studies--including financial derivatives markets, telecommunications-frequency auctions, and individual transferable quotas in fisheries--give substance to the notion of the performativity of economics in an accessible, nontechnical way. Some chapters defend the notion; others attack it vigorously. The book ends with an extended chapter in which Michel Callon, the idea's main formulator, reflects upon the debate and asks what it means to say economics is performative.
The book's insights and strong claims about the ways economics is entangled with the markets it studies should interest--and provoke--economic sociologists, economists, and other social scientists.
In addition to the editors and Callon, the contributors include Marie-France Garcia-Parpet, Francesco Guala, Emmanuel Didier, Philip Mirowski, Edward Nik-Khah, Petter Holm, Vincent-Antonin Lépinay, and Timothy Mitchell.

Two longtime rivals, Oracle and Microsoft, announced a partnership yesterday intended to help Oracle's databases work better with Microsoft's Windows operating system.
The move, analysts say, is another step by Microsoft to improve its relations with other companies in the industry, even fierce competitors like Oracle. It is a pragmatic one for Oracle because many of its customers, up to 40 percent, run its database software on Windows.
''This is a recognition that Windows is an important platform for many of our customers,'' said Andrew Mendelsohn, senior vice president for database technology at Oracle.
Under the agreement, Oracle will join Microsoft's Visual Studio partner program. Visual Studio is the technology that software developers use to write programs for Windows.
