LANSING -- A Michigan State Representative is banned from making comments on the House floor after mentioning her female anatomy during debate Thursday.
WDIV reports Democrat Lisa Brown of West Bloomfield was speaking during a heated debate over a bill restricting abortions. The bill up for discussion was HB 5711.
"I have not asked you to adopt and adhere to my religious beliefs, why are you asking me to adopt yours? And finally Mr.. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina but no means no," said Rep. Brown.
The Republican Speaker of the House, Jase Bolger, issued a statement saying, "House Republicans often go beyond simply allowing debate by welcoming open and passionate discussion of the issues before this chamber. The only way we can continue doing so, however, is to ensure that the proper level of maturity and civility are maintained on the House floor."

Hey Jarred, do you guys Have any idea if a true time lapse mode will be enabled? It would be great to be able to do some really long exposures.
As always amazing and supper beautiful Tom.
Just a footnote on Toms work. I was in the local Best Buy here in San Diego the other day checking out a new monitor/ TV and in the upper quality level area of their sales floor (the Magnolia room) they were using his movie to demo the best they have to offer in viewing. Lets put it another way, even the big S and P brands had his work running on their screens to show what level of quality these very pricy screens can do. I thought it kind of ironic. And in the large home theater room.... They had to ask me about a dozen times if there was anything they could show me... I just keep asking if they still had eyes on my 5 year old. In the gaming section.
Thank you again for sharing Tom.
Hi Tom ... sounds like things are going great !
I was wondering if you would mind sharing for timescapes what the sales rate is of download vs blue ray vs dvd ... and any lessons learned in that process? (i.e. not the actual sales number, but ratio between the channels)
Hi Patrick,
Good question, an the answer is that, for us, 81% of disc sales are blu-ray and 19% are NTSC / PAL DVDs.
Possibly not a representative result, as most of our press has positioned us as the '4k, super high res' movie.
P.S. I was the producer / composer :)
Awesome music ! Timescapes is my GOTO movie when i want to show off my 12 foot wide home theater (hehe ... watched it friday night with friends). Another great thing is it's one of those movies that you can experience over&over ... and still find stuff to discuss about it.
Absolutely mesmerizing work Tom, truly inspirational. Great music too, Nigel.

Could we send in Dan Rather or Jay Carney? That would be a very good deal.
So the problem is the guns; it´s the desire for the 15 minutes of fame, with which the media graciously rewards all these crazies...
Even better, send in both Carney and Rather.
I wonder what this old geezer is doing to the child. IF and WHEN, he is out of there, old geezer should be strung up andhung, poor little 5 year old must be scared to death. Maybe he is unharmed physically but mentally is another thing.
So he´s a survivalist? Sounds to me like he´s a criminal. But the MSM never misses an opportunity on anything to smear the non-elite, non-libtards.
I am a calm and even tempered person, but I swear I could cheerfully torture that evil man with my bare hands. To think he´d kidnap an innocent child. He´s a monster.
I have been praying for this little boy. Last thing I did before sleep and first thing I did on waking. I can´t imagine the anguish his parents are going through.I was furious when I logged into AOL yesterday and saw the HuffPo was posting law enforcement´s negotiation strategy. Did Munich teach them nothing?I hate the idea of exchanging one life for another, but I hope there is a reporter brave enough to do this. There might be a chance for ending the whole situation in the moment of exchange so maybe they´re planning on sending in a cop. Of course, HuffPo will tell us as it´s happening if that´s their plan.
"the boy in return for a reporter to tell his story of 'how the government had screwed him.'"Now there´s a strange and unusual claim that should get the media´s attention. The rest of us deal with that every day, pal, but we don´t kidnap helpless children to make our point.
Most of the rest of us don´t feel the need for our 15 minutes, #8.
I haven´t been following this that closely - so apologies if this has already been covered - but why can´t the police/FBI pump an odorless colorless "sleeping gas" into the bunker through the pipe to harmlessly knock them out and then go in? They´ve got to know when the old man is sleeping thru some basic listening or detection eqpt, and can pipe it in then. What am I missing?
I´m sure this loon´s loving the positive feedback he´s getting for his action. Those who are giving it to him (media) obviously don´t mind small sacrifices to get a story that fits their mindset, even if the sacrifice is a five-year-old with autism.
What is stopping them from pumping some sleepy gas down the pipe and busting open the damn door ?Where´s Janet Reno when you need her ?I can think of a few jurnolists I´d like to pump down that 4 inch pipe.
Last night I was wondering if everyone just left the scene for a day. Shut down the TV coverage.He wants publicity.
#13 should have said:Last night I was wondering what would happen if everyone just left the scene for a day. Shut down the TV coverage.
Send in Geraldo Rivera!After the old ´bastardus´ spends 45 minutes listening to Geraldo, he´ll charge kicking and screeming from his bunker asking the cops to shoot him kwickly to end his missery.Kafir
#15, Best idea yet.But, if G.R. can´t make it, send in the oldest reporter out there.
Why not pump laughing gas down the ventilator shaft?
Why not send him 1000 "reporters" and he can sort out what he wants to do next. It´s only fair to give him a year or two to make a decision...
I recommend Andy Sullivan or Piers Morgan to interview him. Send both!
For those who keep asking about sleeping gas, my guess is that amount needed to subdue an adult man is dangerous to a little kid. They´re both breathing the same air down there.
I vote for that "old salt" Wolf Blitzer.
My bet is that he has a gas mask and sending ANYTHING down that pipe will echo into the bunker below.He´d hear it coming before they could start pumping.Additionally, there could be another exhaust vent somewhere else. Depending on how big the bunker is, some type of exhaust would be necessary to get rid of Carbon Dioxide.

Why do Business Leaders Lie, When it Often Backfires?

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Peter Bregman foxbusiness.com.
Who's here talk to us today about.
Being honest and do people really want you to be honest as it relates to businesses and really in life you wrote an excellent.
Article that I just read through on the Harvard Business Review and you can also find it on foxnews.com.
In the business section as well there it is do people really want -- to be -- really emphasized.
What's about the article first and talk about how it can relate.
To business that you had a personal experience that you tied in to how to -- is perceived in the business world.
Yeah I was I was gonna walk a walk -- my wife and we you know we're we're we both work we were very busy we had you know 3040 minute walk through walking up this hill and we saw friend of ours.
And we like this Fred I mean she's nice but we really want to spend time together and when she came to set all walk review.
We we -- something that was sort of true which is we are trying to keep our heart rates up and we wanted to walk fast but the real truth was we just wanted time to ourselves.
And the problem was when we were coming back down and heart rates -- -- problem because you're walking down the -- we clearly didn't have a heart rates up she was there again.
And we were sort of caught in this slight dishonesty busted busted.
That's right right in.
That you eventually saw her later explained that you felt kind of keep the everybody feels that if you.
If you feel like you've given somebody a slight in somewhat well as it that's right so we.
We think we're lying for the other person but we're really life for ourselves and we're really lying because we're really not honest with people because we don't want to.
Be hurt when they reject us we don't want to feel like you know where the person who has mean brand -- that we we wanna see ourselves as.
Really good people and this is great personal example can translate into business and he wrote in this article too about why your company.
Needs to keep it honest this could really sniff out the trick people can tell right it would time you know that everybody's -- everybody knows you know my favorite moment at was during the Iraq War.
When that Saddam Hussein's.
PR guy with standing up and the cameras were facing him and behind him was Baghdad.
And there were bombs going off in Baghdad he's right all bomb -- from Baghdad.
And and he was looking at the camera saying no wounded no damage to Baghdad no bombs -- going up in Baghdad and you've seen the bombs behind him.
And that image should be in everybody's mind because the reality is life is transparent business is transparent people know if they don't know they're gonna figure out pretty soon.
But I mean it happens all the time not just leaders but also company presidents and and there.
And their people to go out into the press conferences they they go out there to try to make the truth.
To look good but it can be unconvincing so why -- people do it an out of the companies that you work with have any of its leaders are CEOs explain why it.
Why they think that lying is a good idea.
You know they invade I do have those conversations periodically and no one would ever call lying right because nobody wants to see themselves as a -- it's about framing what it's about how do we -- -- how to -- that's how do we make -- look -- certain way.
And what what what they found leaders that I've worked with what they found when we look at it is.
The best framing is the truth because people learned that they can trust you.
The most important thing in business distrust its most important thing.
If analysts feel like they can trust -- -- -- the stock price if your employees feel like they can trust you they're going to be loyal -- your customers feel like they can trust you -- stick with you -- times.
And so.
How do you develop that trust.
You develop that trust even if it feels a little unkind even if it feels a little not nice -- If you're able to really tell the truth and even if it's bad news in fact I would say especially if it's bad news.
People like to hear the truth when things are bad because then they'll trust you but if you're saying things are good and they kind of know things are bad.
They're not gonna -- Accident in this current economy you know like let's say that if somebody finds out they're going to be layoffs and then that wind gets around to the employees and then how -- they try to calm nerves intact while they're still trying to figure out.
If they're going to need to lay people -- -- -- company CEOs and and presents -- say we're gonna have to have some cutbacks or should they wait until they not.
You know I think it's a great question because the question is transition time meaning how long it.
The transition time will and and transition time is actually very hard and frustrating for people often because it's the uncertainty that makes life hard.
So that's that I think what their leaders need to do if they're thinking about something and they're not sure if they're gonna do it.
They can keep it within the smallest possible group.
It it not lying to people but just keeping the information to the smallest possible group when they know it's gonna happen they want to be very efficient and very quick about.
Telling the truth being clear about what it is.
Being honest and open about it and moving quickly and then because the remaining people will then be able to trust them.
And you want people who leave your company to feel like they were treated well right if they feel like they were lied to.
They're gonna go out there and say bad things about the company they're gonna say bad things about the leadership.
In its gonna hurt.
Hi Peter wanna I wanna bring -- some of our comments I asked people the beginning of the show to go ahead and send -- and tweets and some comments on life we've -- for you now want to share this with you.
And get your reaction trials Reese wrote.
George Washington said it is an old adage that honesty is the best policy.
This applies to public as well as private life.
-- states is -- individuals more importantly god said thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Bearing false witness is another form of dishonesty Charles -- also -- again.
Fox just because some people like to be lied to doesn't mean that type of behavior needs to be spread to the workplace or practice on a regular basis I like being honest and I appreciate folks.
Being honest with me.
Yeah and you know the thing that I would say also is that.
Win that you.
Are honest people come to expect you to be honest.
So that they're not surprised if not not nice they just see you're the guy or you're the woman who speaks honestly and they come to expect it.
And it doesn't reflect badly on you -- reflects well.
And and finally you know -- looking through the article that we're gonna tell people about against check out.
You know this all is easier said than done for -- the hard part of the emotional part the hard part is emotional part to say.
I like.
These people like my friend and she's asking me to be honest to her and if I'm honest to her I might -- -- -- -- of the you know we're talking earlier you know like.
That you someone that someone doesn't perform in a certain way and they're saying how -- I perform and you want to.
You wanna tell them how they perform honestly but you know that they may never talk -- again if you tell the know what I don't what do you tell people what that that happens to the worst case they're that you hear the -- But modest would hurt their feelings they may not ever talked to me I told him before we got on air that actually did happen to me.
What do you tell somebody like me who would tell the truth and then got hurt right -- -- quite.
You know -- the you play the odds.
Frank which is that you might talk to twenty people and and one of them feels like they were burned by you because you were honest with them.
And nineteen of them are thankful because you're the kind of friend that they can rely on -- And and hopefully you don't know what's gonna happen three years down the road the person may come back here and say you know what you're the only one who really told -- -- at that point and that was really useful to.
Really good advice -- a great conversation starter -- -- I want you to check out the article you -- of course on foxnews.com.
In the business section also on Harvard Business Review.
Do people really want you to be honest so there's the article it's great and for people who want to follow here on Twitter humans what -- Peter Bregman a OK and and my website Peter Bregman dot com Peter it was -- -- in making so much for the start my pleasure.

LADY GAGA Genre: Pop Birthplace: New York, New York Albums: The Fame (2008); The Fame Monster (2009); Born This Way (2011) Awards: Billboard Music Awards 7; Grammy Awards 5; MTV Video Music Awards 13; Teen Choice Awards 3 Hits: "Just Dance", "Poker Face", "Paparazzi", "Bad Romance", "Telephone", "Alejandro", "Born This Way" Other: Billboard ranked her the 73rd Artist of the 2000–10 decade.
Before acquiring her famous pseudonym, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta developed a love of music at a very young age, playing the piano at age four and composing at age thirteen. Performing came naturally, and in her early teens she sang at open-mike nights and played lead roles in school plays. She earned early admission to the prestigious Collaborative Arts Project 21 at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts at age seventeen.
There were some diversions on the road to fame. She left CAP21 to focus on her music career, and while finding some success, she did not manage to break out. It was during this period she decided on the name Lady Gaga. The story goes it was suggested by producer Rob Fusari, based on the song "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen. Now Lady Gaga, she was signed, then dropped a few months later by Def Jam Records in 2006.
After that setback, Lady Gaga focused on performing and refining the persona that is so well known today. She collaborated with a performance artist known as Lady Starlight while Fusari shopped her music. That work paid off, and a subsidiary of Interscope Records signed Gaga in 2007. She moved to LA to finish work on her first album: The Fame.
The Fame had a rocky start, but thanks to what were essentially "sleeper" hits ("Just Dance" and "Poker Face"), the album exploded, eventually going 3x Platinum in the US and reaching the top of the charts in Canada and the UK. It peaked at #2 in the US and earned 2 of her Grammys, including Best Electronic/Dance Album.
While touring in support of the album, Gaga wrote an EP called "The Fame Monster". This spawned three more hits, including "Bad Romance" and "Telephone," and put three more Grammys on her mantle in the process. Despite having only recently finished her first major concert tour, Lady Gaga returned to the road for the "The Monster Ball Tour." It would last over a year and become one of the highest grossing concert tours in history.
2011 brought Born This Way to the shelves and the top of the charts worldwide. Born This Way sold around 6 million albums a year and half since release and earned three Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year.
Though Lady Gaga continues to branch out from music, the length of her tours suggests there's little doubt she's committed to performing in front of the crowd. She continues to write and produce new music, and fans (her "Little Monsters") continue to line up to see her shows.
The success of the music is only one element of Lady Gaga. The persona, the fashion, and a devotion to causes fuels her fame just as much as the music. Her tours aren't simple concerts, but elaborate theatrical performance pieces, sometimes controversial, but always entertaining. She can sell out the biggest venues, and makes for a must-see show whenever she's in town.

Where is the place? It is in Moalboal, Cebu
I love Photography and I think I've said that many times here in my blog. Still aiming to get a very good DSLR (Nikon?) camera but as of this time I am out of budget so I am still loving my Samsung ES70 camera.
I like taking stolen stills especially in the beach. Not a long time ago, I was able to visit Moalboal, Cebu along with some friends and dang, I did steal stills. Not all pictures are stolen though.
With some editing using Adobe Lightroom 3.0 these are the pictures. Well, who knows you might find these pictures interesting. (You might probably search for Moalboal pictures??? So glad that I was able to help.)

Building Achievements Turned Arizona From Frontier Outpost To Thriving Haven
In 1912, when it became the nation's 48th state, Arizona was a challenging place to live. It was sparsely populated with small communities scattered hither and yon. Travel between towns was grueling. The lower desert was unbearably hot in the summer, and water was scarce and unreliable. Arizona would have … [Continue Reading]

Members of the community are mourning the loss of longtime Cantral Coast supporter, Huell Howser.
On Saturday morning, the Guadalupe and Nipomo Dunes Center held a memorial hike to honor the famous TV star. Community members gathered at Oso Flaco Lake in Guadalupe.
Howser was well known for highlighting local treasures like the Guadalupe Nipomo Dunes on his show, "California's Gold."
Howser passed away in January after a battle with prostate cancer.

The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.
Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Peter Rabbit Organics Squeeze Pouch:
I brought the Pear & Apple and the Mango, Banana & Orange on a recent camping trip-- for myself. They were a delicious bit of fruit during the week, and were just the right amount. I'm glad I don't have kids to fight me for these-- they're delicious! I also had the Carrot, Squash & Apple, which was just fruity enough to still be a delicious little smoothy-ish treat, but you could still taste a hint of the root veggies.

Comments about Peter Rabbit Organics Squeeze Pouch:
I tried the apple and grape fruit pouch and enjoyed it but I did not care for the vegetable: carrot, squash and apple. It's like eating baby food. I would not get that one again and I would stick to the fruit pouches. I thought it was on the expensive side for [$]
Best Uses
Comments about Peter Rabbit Organics Squeeze Pouch:
I ate the Squash, Carrot, Apple today. It was amazingly tasty. I don't eat most of the power foods because they have too much sugar. This is all natural with no added sugar or salt. You can't beat a product that is all organic.
Best Uses
Comments about Peter Rabbit Organics Squeeze Pouch:
I have five Children and bought one of these as a snack for my one year old. Well they all love it and they don't spill. For kids that don't want veg this has it and they dont know it. It is like a apple sauce texture but in a juice bottle. A great find even for the money.
Best Uses
Comments about Peter Rabbit Organics Squeeze Pouch:
We picked a couple of these up at our local REI store and I couldn't be more impressed with them! We've used other products that are similar for 'on the go' feeding for our infant or snacks for our 2 year old but this is my new favorite brand. Typically these are made with just fruit, but the pea/spinach/apple one was fab and my 9 month old loved it! Love that we can get veggies in and it seems like a treat!

For tourists who come to Samui and want to appreciate marine nature which is still unspoiled, Mu Koh Ang Thong is the ideal place for them.

However, the most spectacular viewpoint from above is located at the top of Koh Wua Ta Lap which needs a little climbing effort. Even though reaching the top of the island needs high endeavour, the infinite panoramic view of the Gulf of Thailand including several islands in different peculiar shapes is worth your sweat.
Koh Mae Ko is another highlight of Mu Koh Ang Thong. Likewise the breathtaking view always comes with little obstacle. Visitors need to waste their sweat a little before reaching Thale Nai (Inner Sea), which is the great viewpoint. A huge emerald lagoon, situated in the middle of the limestone mountains which gradually subside into an inland bay amidst the island. Inner Lagoon is another startling attraction in the world which is worth visiting.
Mu Koh Ang Thong is not far from Koh Samui; thus, most tourists normally purchase a one-day trip. Hence, the atmosphere in the evening and at night is pristine and serene.

Big Data: Why Nate Silver Knew Exactly How America Would Vote
Scott Luther
Following his 49-for-50 performance in 2008, the FiveThirtyEight data pollster correctly predicted the results of the presidential election in all 50 states in 2012 – in many cases predicting the margin of victory as well as nearly all Senate races. While this may be a cool trick in election years, what Nate Silver's accuracy represents means businesses the world over should be rethinking how assumptions and intuition can now be verified at scale.
Social Networking Increasing for the Young and Younger
Anh Ta
According to a new report from the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, evidence is mounting of social networking forums reaching more young children, even though research on the media habits of tweens and pretweens is scarce and highly fragmented. The report cites abundant research into the media use of teens. Unsurprisingly, they're heavy and frequent social media users. The report's authors state that it is a mistake to equate the online and social media activities of children under 13 with that of teenagers. For children under nine, speculation is that their social media use occurs not on commonly known sites, such as Facebook, but rather on games, video-sharing sites and other nontraditional yet highly social online forums.
YouTube Re-Ups on Original Content, Kinda
Blake Bowyer
In an effort to bring more produced content to its platform, last year YouTube laid out $100 million to partners to create video – an effort called "Channels." Funded Channels featured programming from Jay Z, Tony Hawk and Madonna. This year, the video juggernaut is reinvesting cash with the same aim – but with a fraction of the partners, eliminating more than 60%. YouTube's global head of content suggested this is a way to optimize and identify "channels that are delivering the best return on our investment." This begs the question: Is it a pivot of a failed push for semi-pro content? Stay tuned to find out.
Online Viewers Start Leaving if Video Doesn't Play in 2 Seconds
Garrett Bruster
A recent study shows that users will begin abandoning an online video after two seconds if the video isn't loading. With each second of delay that passes, 6% more users give up on watching. The study points to faster Internet connections as the cause of this growth in impatience and points out that users are slightly more patient for long-length videos than they are for short videos. An interesting find: users are more patient when viewing videos on their mobile devices.

Suspending Sarcasm: Twitter's True Potential Unleashed by #Sandy
Scott Luther
Acting as both on-the-scene reporter and supplier of big-picture context, Twitter was briefly transformed from a network of self-indulgence, self-promotion and sarcastic retweets into the real-time information service it has been promised to be. Over the years we have seen flashes of Twitter's ability to connect the masses around a shared event, from the Super Bowl to the earthquake in Japan. Last week, amid the damage on the East Coast, we saw Twitter's richest potential yet for sharing both the micro and macro views of culture-defining events – time will tell if this will be the true legacy of Twitter.
Instagram Online Profiles Are Here!
Anh Ta
Instagram is no longer just a mobile platform. Users can now further socialize their photo-filtering activities through their online profile pages with common social network capabilities such as the ability to follow users, comment and like photos, and edit profiles easily and directly from the Web. Profile pages are available for individuals and brands. Check out Nike's: http://instagram.com/nike. The platform still wants to keep the service as a mobile-centric one, so it is limiting photo uploads to mobile devices only – for now.
Tumblr Hits 20 Billion Monthly Page Views
Garrett Bruster
The micro-blogging platform has grown substantially from 15 billion monthly page views in early 2012 and is boasting a growth rate of around 30% a year. The company only monetizes a small sliver of its impressions to preserve the proper user experience and community feel. David Karp, CEO of Tumblr, explains the decision to keep advertising limited and to include reblogging as the format for post feedback.
Facebook, Twitter Find Mobile Ad Success with "Native" Approach
Caitlin Mitchell
We've heard over and over that mobile ads are the future, so why are we not developing a separate strategy to support them? According to Sam Grobart, repurposing banner and interstitial ads does not work because they are disruptive to the mobile experience. Facebook and Twitter are in the process of trying to overcome the resistance by developing a "native" strategy that supports mobile ads by tying marketing to content, which in turn enhances the mobile experience. We must realize sooner or later that traditional advertising does not translate well on mobile devices, and a new approach must be taken to support mobile ads.
Report: Twitter to Go Photo-a-Photo with Instagram
Blake Bowyer
In another move to place itself in the photo-sharing frenzy, Twitter is reportedly introducing a set of image filters to its mobile apps. This would be the latest move to position itself against Instagram, including Twitter's deliberate self-removal from the retro image app's "find friends" option. Competition over the growing social photo-sharing space continues to heat up as Flickr and Facebook Camera join the fray with filtering options – but with millions of photos shared on the platform each day, Twitter's entry would have an immediate impact. Now one must wonder: Is Twitter moving away from the simplicity that originally drew users to it?

Consumers Prepare to Equip Their Mobile Utility Belts
Nick Daigle
The mobile device continues to disrupt the path to purchase as consumers increasingly rely on their mobile devices to steer them to the best deal during their shopping experiences. A recent survey by PriceGrabber indicates that nearly one-third (32%) of consumers are planning to download additional applications and that the most popular category of applications that pique consumer interests are related to offers, deals and coupons. Of those consumers who plan to download, 66% are considering price comparison apps that bring online, in-store and competitor prices together at every stage of the path to purchase.
Should Brands Be Meaner in Social?
Scott Luther
Often, when brands choose to engage with their customers through social media, they dream of establishing a voice that authentically captures the brand's personality and treats customers with respect. However, even more often, they will encounter people online that attempt to take advantage of that goal, abusing the patience and hospitality of the customer service team. What would happen if the brand chose to respond to trolls with authentic irritation?
Futureproofing Your Children's Identity
Anh Ta
With the population growing and increasingly connected, parents are rushing to claim the electronic versions of their children, and even their unborn children. Some parents, as soon as they decide on a name for their offspring, create websites, Twitter handles and Gmail accounts for their children to ensure that they preserve the highly coveted "firstandlastname.com." Other parents who are slower to ensure their children's digital future raise the question of whether their children will want an eponymous digital presence or will they prefer something completely unrelated to their offline identity. Also, will these platforms and technologies even matter when our children come of age to be responsible for their digital identity?
Research: Consumers' Illusion of Understanding
Chris Ferrel
Not only is ignorance bliss, it may play a key role in determining how consumers respond to advertising. The Journal of Consumer Research found that learning more about a product makes some consumers desire it less. While some consumers desire additional product information, others find that added details expose their existing understanding as shallow and leave them disappointed.
PepsiCo + QR Codes = New Global Campaign
Suzie Brown
PepsiCo puts QR codes in the center of the "Live for Now" global campaign as well as above the Pepsi logo on cups. Live for Now is a yearlong campaign between Twitter and Pepsi that is aimed at connecting young, tech-savvy consumers to their favorite music artists through multimedia. Using QR codes, Pepsi is using mobile to push video content. The videos feature a recap of entertainment news with segments that are updated regularly.

Instagram Turns 2, Celebrates with 100 Million Closest Friends
Blake Bowyer
Since October 2010, the photo-sharing platform Instagram has ballooned to 100 million registered users who have, so far, posted 5 billion photos. And Instagram shows no signs of slowing since its $1 billion acquisition by Facebook. In fact, Instagram is going stronger than ever, with 5 million photos uploaded per day and increasing use as a brand marketing tool. Now we must wonder: What's next?
When a Map is More Than a Map
Scott Luther
Capitalizing on the backlash from iOS6 users' complaints to Apple's switch away from Google Maps, the search giant created a microsite to highlight how developers are using the Maps API to build extraordinary experiences, apps and visualizations.
Facebook Hits 1 Billion Users, Releases Ad Campaign
Stephanie Wierwille
Last week, Facebook released its first ad campaign in celebration of uniting one-seventh of the world's population. Its new 90-second brand video was created by Wieden & Kennedy and highlights Facebook's role in connecting people. Facebook will be promoting the video on its social network through promoted posts and sponsored stories to "walk the footsteps of what advertisers go through."
Tumblr Posts Analytics Platform with Union Metrics
Caitlin Mitchell
Tumblr has officially named Union Metrics as its preferred third-party analytics tool. This is the first time that Tumblr has given its blessing to track and analyze content across the platform. This is great news for agencies that previously were tracking Tumblr performance from workarounds like adding their blogs to Google Analytics. Union Metrics will be able to track how a Tumblr post performs and propagates across the platform. For now though, Union Metrics is only available on an "invite only" basis; it expects a full public launch in November.

Facebook Opens Online Gift Store
Stephanie Wierwille
On Thursday, Facebook unveiled Gifts, a new online store and step into the world of social gifting and e-commerce. Tied to event reminders on friends' birthdays, anniversaries, engagement announcements, etc., users can buy friends gifts for special occasions or just for the heck of it. The move comes after Facebook acquired Karma, the social gifting app upon which Gifts is built.
Women Outnumber Men on Facebook, But Ad Dollars Are Spent on Men
Anh Ta
According to comScore, the average Facebook user spends more than six hours a month on Facebook. With that usage comes opportunities for marketing. And the most efficient ad dollars are spent on men. Men are more responsive to ads than women, clicking at a higher rate. Cost per click for men is lower than women, so ads can be served to more men than women and as a side effect, the same ads can be shown to them more often, increasing recall.
Instagram Surpasses Twitter in Daily Active Mobile Users in U.S.
Caitlin Mitchell
According to the latest comScore research, Instagram has pulled in 7.3 million active users per day on mobile compared to Twitter's 6.9 million during the month of August. It was also found that users were engaging with photos longer than they were doing so with tweets. Research also showed that the average Instagram user spent about 257 minutes browsing and using the service versus the 170 minutes spent on Twitter last month.
Mobile Healthcare Could Redefine Doctors' Role
Scott Luther
As consumer adoption of smartphones continues to grow, so, too, does their willingness to use these devices for more personal activities. One such use is collecting and coordinating wellness information through apps from healthcare companies and private companies to lay the foundation for more targeted care. As this behavior becomes more widespread, doctors will soon have access to enormous datasets to mine for patterns and enable more data-driven diagnoses – hopefully leading to much smarter healthcare.

The Future of Television to Include Nintendo
Chris Ferrel
Nintendo's new Wii U will include an entertainment service called TVii. The service will support cable television, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant at no additional fee. TVii will allow multiple people to have personalized playlists and recommendations stored on the same device. The device also has social network/chat integration and DVR/TiVo functionality. Wii U will go on sale November 18, starting at $299.99.
$8 Billion in Payments Processed: Square's Payment Growth Quickly Adding Up
Blake Bowyer
Square's prominence in the mobile payment space continues to strengthen as the company announced it processed $8 billion in payments in the past year – a surge from $1 billion in just three years. This is on the heels of Square raking in $200 million in Series D funding, including investments from heavy hitters like Citi Ventures and Starbucks. With this injection of cash, the company hopes to bring its service to international markets. While the mobile payment space is crowded, Square is the 8,000,000,000-pound gorilla. With endorsements from big brands/investors, it's quickly putting more distance between itself and competitors like COIN, GoPago and even PayPal.
Grey Poupon Uses the Old Velvet Rope Trick to Get Buzzed
Anh Ta
CP+B goes against the grain again (remember Whopper Sacrifice, where friends sacrificed friends for a Whopper) with The Society of Good Taste, which calls to few and accepts even fewer. The Society is a members-only club on Grey Poupon's Facebook page that vets membership by determining applicants' good taste based on their Facebook activity, education, museum visits, reading lists, city of residence and friendships. Rejected applicants are encouraged to reapply after "enriching" their profiles. In further social penetration, the agency moved the mustard company's brand page to Pinterest (www.kraftbrands.com/greypoupon will redirect to Pinterest). Sadly, this writer was rejected for admission to The Society of Good Taste, an indication that a sea change in friendships is in order.
Facebook Cuts Reach Generator
Stephanie Wierwille
Facebook is streamlining its advertising offerings, cutting Reach Generator and recommending that advertisers use Promoted Posts to reach their target with social messaging. With Promoted Posts, brand pages can extend reach on a per-post basis, with pricing scaled to the number of fans the advertiser would like to reach. It's available through Facebook's self-serve ad platform, meaning each community manager sets their own promoted posts – but many ad partners offer built-in solutions.
When Twitter Fans Steer TV
Caitlin Mitchell
Comments posted on Twitter and other social media sites about television shows have done nothing but increase in the past year, to 75.5 million in July from 8.8 million a year ago. Believe it or not, Twitter is pressuring some producers to tweak their scripts. Writers of USA Network's drama "Covert Affairs" framed the final episode especially around questions that fans had asked on Twitter. While writers are weary of giving fans total control, one thing is clear, Twitter cannot be ignored.

Everybody's Favorite Feeds Aggregator Goes Catalog
Anh Ta
Flipboard is monetizing its 20 million users by introducing a "social catalog" for brands, starting with Levi's. Flipboard is running Levi's ads on feeds for nine publications: Vanity Fair, Glamour, Details, Elle, Marie Claire, Esquire, ESPN, Fast Company and Rolling Stone. Also, a branded "magazine" on Flipboard will allow users to shop the Levi's fall collection and share images on their social networks.
Branded Apps Impact Business
Nick Daigle
Brands and their marketers need to rethink the role digital plays in shopper behavior as the use of mobile technology in-store not only accelerates, but becomes a reliable resource for driving incremental sales. New research from Ryan Partnership revealed that 21 percent of shoppers cited branded shopping apps as the reason for making additional unplanned purchases while shopping.
How Businesses Win in Amazon's World
Scott Luther
In an online shopping world where a one-cent difference in price can mean getting a sale or losing out to a competitor, competing on the edge is taxing work. The rise of algorithm-driven dynamic pricing for those selling their goods through Amazon has made deal-seeking a full-time job for consumers and a constant battle for margins for the brands selling to them.
Crowdsourced Artificial Intelligence
Chris Ferrel
Researchers at the University of Rochester have created a new crowd-powered chat system called Chorus. Using an instant message interface, Chorus generates responses based on crowdsourced replies and suggestions. Tests showed that the end user experiences a conversation that is indistinguishable from chatting with a real person, even for long conversations. Perhaps most impressive is Chorus' ability to engage in back-and-forth conversation using colloquial language, something Apple's Siri and Al chatbots have struggled to do. Chorus could lead to real-world applications such as artificial intelligence tech support.
Study Finds Information Overload Isn't a Thing
Caitlin Mitchell
Many experts believe that the "always-on" media environment that social media has created has "overwhelmed" audiences and is creating a society of antisocial Facebook addicts more interested in status updates than face-to-face communication. According to a study by a trio of researchers at Northwestern University and the University of Michigan, that isn't the case. Participants noted in the study that they felt "empowered" and "enthusiastic" about the volume of information at their fingertips, not overloaded. When it comes to social media, participants said that it's the quality of information that turns them off, not the quantity.

Moms Mobilize for Back-to-School Day
Nick Daigle
Mobile-device-wielding moms are using their devices to relieve the stress of preparing their kids for the first day of school. Nearly nine in 10 say they turn to their phones to reduce the anxiety in planning for that first day, according to a recent study from the IAB and Meredith's Parents Network. Of moms with two kids and a smartphone, 88% were more inclined to agree that smartphones make being a mom easier.
Multiscreen Behavior, Quantified
Scott Luther
This large study from Google and Ipsos reveals the active session length (smartphone is the shortest), overall time with the medium and how devices are used sequentially as well as simultaneously. Perhaps the most shocking result from the study (very little of this is shocking) – users are more engaged with what interests them than ever before and have multiple outlets to access that content. Marketers must now find ways to reach them in the most preferred environment for both their target and their brand.
Study: Western Analog Viewers Lag in Digital Connected TV Revolution
Chris Ferrel
A study conducted by GfK finds that Western consumers are stuck in an "analog" mindset, whereas consumers in emerging markets are more likely to own and use web-connected "smart" TVs. China has the highest penetration of connected TVs at 44%, compared to just 11% penetration in the U.S. The study also shows that social TV has yet to fully take off, partially because viewers claim discovery is more important than program interaction. GfK suggests that broadcasters need to integrate their social elements "far more engagingly into the fabric of the program."
Facebook Cracks Down on Insincere "Likes"
Caitlin Mitchell
Facebook is currently ramping up efforts that will increase automated efforts to remove "likes" on pages that may have been gained by means that violate Facebook's terms of service. For pages, this means that likes gained by malware, compromised accounts, deceived users or purchased in bulk will be removed. Facebook is expecting that less than 1% of a page's fan count will be trimmed down as a result of the new automated effort.

Retailers: Never Too Early for Holiday Shopping Trends
Scott Luther
With the holiday shopping season rapidly approaching, RetailNet Group has compiled a list of the 10 most exciting trends for online shopping in 2012. The trends highlighted in the report showcase how retailers need to focus on more than inventory and fulfillment of online orders, and more closely align with in-store marketing efforts through social and mobile.
How Heavy Sharers Boost Facebook Pages
Cody Hudson
Users are frequently drawn to brand Facebook pages by high activity (liking, commenting, sharing). Top-performing pages have higher percentages of super-fans, a group of brand advocates that are apt to share posts with their personal networks. "One way brands can boost fan growth and engagement is by finding their advocates and super fans, and then determining what type of content actually gets them engaged with the brand page."
Tweet to Unlock Free MTV Concerts
Chris Ferrel
The MTV Music Experiment is back with a series of free concerts. The details of each concert are revealed when specific social media milestones are reached. Milestones are based on URL shares and #musicexperiment tweets. For each concert, a map powered by Omnigon Communications gradually zooms in until details of the venue are revealed.
Small YouTube Update Might Be Big for Advertisers
Anh Ta
YouTube has made it easier to find serialized content by adding a guide for episodes of a video series. A listing of further episodes is displayed next to the video window on a video's page and a link is shown that leads to a show's channel or main page. Whereas before YouTube users had to conduct a search for content or use a link embedded in the video's description, now YouTube users can access all available episodes. This makes original YouTube content more amenable to advertisers since they can now more reliably target popular videos and channels.

Second-Screen Viewing Is the New Black
Chris Ferrel
GetGlue, Discovery Channel and WWE have all released second-screen companions in the past week. The social TV platform GetGlue released an update that features an individualized guide to shows/movies/sports that incorporates recommendations, relevant content and social discovery. Dallas-based Bottle Rocket Apps developed second-screen experiences for both Discovery Channel and WWE. The Shark Week Plus app accompanies Discovery Channel's Shark Week programming, while WWE's new app will create a second-screen experience for Monday Night Raw.
Status Updates Died: 36% of Tweets Are Photos
Nick Daigle
What are those Twitter users tweeting about these days? That's easy – photos of the world around them. According to new research from Diffbot, the status update only accounts for about 7% of all tweets. The almighty visual, in this case a photo, makes up 36% of all tweets. This aligns with a growing consumer preference within mainstream social network experiences and content destinations. Internet users prefer to capture, share and consume their experiences visually.
Digital Installation to Deter Drunk Driving
Scott Luther
Interactive technologies continue to redefine physical spaces. In a new installation, Allianz Insurance has developed a mirror that delays reflections back to the subject, causing a disorientation that mimics the delayed reaction speed induced by alcohol consumption. The concept has been deployed in bars to shock people into recognizing their impairments before getting into their vehicles.
Highlight Quora on Third-Party Sites
Anh Ta
With "Embedded Quotes," publishers can leverage the Quora community for content on their sites. This change in the platform expands Quora's visibility beyond its users and is another step in a growth strategy that started earlier this month with its "Views" product. "Views" originally forced all users to have their usernames displayed after reading a Quora article. After a user backlash, the company amended its "Views" policy to display after users have read questions, answers or posts, but not for other users' feeds.
Your Deleted Facebook Photos Can Now Be Gone Forever

Last time I talked about why the ways individuals think about knowledge, might impact on their behaviour, and how we could support more advanced behaviours. Of course, this also depends on how we - collectively - think about knowledge and act on this, through our policy and the ways we structure websites, etc. For example, how education/assessment policy might encourage particular ways of thinking about knowledge.
more >
When we search for and find information on the web, how do we decide what information is useful? From a researcher perspective, deciding how 'successfully' people have found information – whether through a search engine like google, an OER website like gooru, or a jobs portal, school site, or whatever is challenging. I think we should also be interested in how users conceptualise what they're looking for – do they think there's, "one answer" or many, do they think there are lots of bits of connecting information or are they more independent. Perhaps they have views on particularly authoritative websites (the BBC v. Wikipedia v. Yahoo Answers), or whether they should just take as a "given" what is said on websites, or that in order for them to have knowledge, they need to understand the information. more >
Who are you?Over my next few blogs I'm going to talk a bit more about what I'm doing and how. I hope it's of some interest to people in itself, but I also want to use it to illustrate some wider points about data collection.

BRIDGER - We all know Montana is known for its natural splendor - the peaks, the prairies, the plants and the wildlife, but the secrets below the ground are sometimes just as enthralling as the beauty above.
"Probably most of the fossils in museums today come from public land, and so almost everything that we know about T-Rex and Allosaurus and so forth, has come from researchers studying on our public lands," Bureau of Land Management paleontologist Greg Ligget explained.
Montana has much to contribute to that legacy of piecing the past together. The chapters of Earth's history are pressed into layers of ancient rocks, bursting upwards to reveal her secrets near Bridger.
But it takes a trained eye like Ligget's to read the language of the rock, and he makes for an excellent tour guide.
"These Red Rocks, geologists call Red Dome. It was deposited about 240 million years ago. It's just really cool to be able to travel back in time 240 million years," he said.
When a geologist looks at a landscape like the one near Bridger, they read into the whole story that it's trying to tell them.
"The deposit of the ocean, the deposit of the material above it, the uplift, the erosion, [are responsible for] what we have what we see today," Ligget explained.
Read ahead tens of millions of years by traveling over a near hillside where you might just see a ridge, but Ligget sees more.
"I see the ocean. I see 200 million years ago, this very rich ocean, lush with lots of life," he explained. Than as this ocean is receding, we're going to get into the next age, the age of dinosaurs in the Morrison formation of the Jurassic, which is just over the hill."
The Morrison outcrops from Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, and all the way into New Mexico, and everywhere that it's exposed there are dinosaurs to be found.
Beneath this dirt near Bridger, over 2,000 bones have been harvested. Known as the Mother's Day site, it was originally worked by the Museum of the Rockies, before being turned over to the Cincinnati Museum.
"Every fossil has a story to tell. It is by putting these fossils together in an organized way that we learn about our past. There's definitely the thrill in the hunt. The thrill of discover. That drives all of us," Ligget concluded.

When you talk about miraculous comeback stories, few can top what Shane Bunting (aka Madchild) has gone through. One-half of Swollen Members, he went from sell-out tours and gold-selling records to a long battle with drug addiction. But, he came out on top in the end, saw Swollen Members make a valiant return and re-launch a solo career that has seen six releases over the past three years. With a new album out titled Dope Sick, Madchild sat down with T-RexXx to discuss the dark times and his struggle to find the light.
Also on this week's episode of RapCity, we have brand new videos from DJ Drama, Torch, and Kendrick Lamar.

Tia's Ciara Grammy Makeover
If you watched the Grammy's last Sunday, then you know that Ciara's makeup look was fierce. Beyond fierce. We were so impressed that we immediately called the singer's makeup artist Yolanda Frederick to congratulate her--and by the end of the conversation, she'd agreed to stop by the Essence.com office and give beauty editor Tia Williams her very own Ciara-at-the-Grammy's makeover. The results were downright amazing (there was a lot of thrilled squealing on Tia's part)--see for yourself in our step-by-step photo gallery breaking down Frederick's process!

2 Ann Arbor-area Kroger stores recognized for energy efficiency
If you've noticed lights in the food cases flickering on while you grocery shop, it's not just your imagination.
Angela Smith | For AnnArbor.com
The two locations are among 24 Michigan Kroger stores that have received the designation. On a national level, Kroger has reduced energy consumption in its stores by 32 percent since 2000, saving the company more than $100 million in energy costs each year.
Energy updates in the Ann Arbor and Pittsfield stores and other Kroger locations include skylights, LED lighting and a specially designed computer system that monitors and controls energy usage throughout the facilities, according to a news release. Kroger also is saving energy with motion sensors that turn lights on when a customer approaches an aisle and shuts them off when the aisle is empty.
Staff members at the Washtenaw County stores were not available to comment on the changes, but more information about the company's efforts can be found on Kroger's website.
