Posted by Steve Rogers | June 28, 2012 / 08:18am | Political, Business, Faith & Family By Jeff Amy/The Associated Press JACKSON-- In another bad sign for Mississippi's economy, the state was one of only two where personal income shrank in the first three months of 2012.

Personal income fell 0.3 percent, the worst performance among the states, the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis said Wednesday. Kansas was the only other state where personal income shrank.

The announcement comes less than a month after the same agency concluded that Mississippi's overall economy dipped back into recession in 2011, shrinking more than all states but Wyoming.

Personal income is all of the income received by everyone from every source, including wages, business owner profits, interest, dividends, rent and government transfers. It's not the same as a measure of the size of the overall economy, but can be a rough proxy.

Shrinking personal income in the first quarter could mean that Mississippi remains in recession, a possibility reinforced by a stagnant job market.

Nationwide, personal income grew 0.8 percent in the quarter, outstripping estimated inflation of 0.6 percent during the period. North Dakota performed strongest, with personal income rising 2.3 percent.

The three major categories of personal income--work-related earnings, investment income and government transfer payments--all fell in the state.

Of the 0.3 percent decline, 0.1 percent was caused by falling work income and 0.2 percent was caused by falling transfer receipts.

Mississippi was one of only four states where work-related earnings fell, one of only three states where transfer receipts fell, and the only state that saw a drop in investment income.

Sectors that shrank in the state's work-related earnings included farming, real estate, forestry and fishing, utilities, federal civilian agencies and the military. Of those, farming was by far the biggest contributor to the decline.

Traders buying Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) looking for a quick pop have certainly been disappointed. But what about longer-term investors? Is Facebook a company worth owning? The answer may lie in whether the company is able to come up with a mobile strategy.

On the surface, Facebook looks like a web powerhouse, with hundreds of thousands of apps and sites building on its social network site. But in the mobile world, it looks like just another applications developer. And one that, like others, is dependent on platforms owned by Apple or Google for distribution. Facebook management has recognized this and has made some moves including a series of acquisitions and a new app store as part of its attempt to adapt to the mobile device world we live in.

Data from research firm Gartner reinforces the idea that Facebook had better adapt and quickly if it is to be a profitable company. It estimates that revenue from non-mobile social media will climb to $10.2 billion in 2015 from the $1.3 billion level in 2010. But mobile social media revenue is forecast to rise to $29.1 billion in 2015 from $7.3 billion in 2010.

Clearly mobile social media is a sector in which Facebook has to become a major player. Facebook itself admitted before the IPO that growth in advertising sales isn't keeping pace with the gains in the number of users, many of which are logging on via mobile devices. Facebook sent more than 160 million visitors to mobile apps in April 2012 alone! This is a colossal opportunity for the company and it has to simply find a way to monetize those visitors.

One way Facebook can try to catch up fast in the mobile world is through acquisitions of companies rooted in mobile technology. It has already acquired mobile tech companies Tagtile and Glancee, not to mention Facebook's $1 billion offer for Instagram.

But of course, Facebook has to acquire the 'right' type of mobile technology companies from the myriad of choices out there. Many of these companies use the old-fashioned method of throwing a bunch of stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks. Mobile gaming companies, like Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) and Glu Mobile (NASDAQ: GLUU) use that strategy. Zynga, with more than 290 million active users, spent over $56 million in the first quarter acquiring new users.

Glu Mobile is a leading global developer and publisher of freemium games for smartphones and tablets. Some of its most popular games are available now at the new Facebook App Center. It is well positioned in a market forecast to grow to $16 billion by 2015. But it still follows the strategy of building and hoping. Also think of the creator of the highly successful Angry Birds game, Rovio Entertainment. It was another 'build it and they will come' company that had a lot of losers before hitting upon Angry Birds.

It should be mentioned though that Zynga to date has been successful, providing Facebook with many of its most popular games including Farmville and CityVille. In fact, Zynga supplied Facebook with 12 percent of its revenues in 2011, its largest source of income.

Insider Secrets to Success on Your First Job

EAST LANSING, Mich. A groundbreaking study of nearly 250,000 U.S. women reveals live birth rates approaching natural fertility can be achieved using assisted reproductive technology, where eggs are removed from a woman's ovaries, combined with sperm and then returned to the woman's body.

The research, led by Michigan State University's Barbara Luke and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, highlights what factors help or hinder getting pregnant using assisted reproductive technology, or ART. The results indicate that when there are favorable patient and embryo characteristics, live birth rates with ART can approach those of natural fertility.

"This is good news for women who are trying to have a child," said Luke, a researcher in the College of Human Medicine's Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology.

The number of ART treatments has more than doubled in the past 10 years, and live birth rates traditionally have been reported per cycle, or per one course of treatment. While that is easily calculated and is the method used by national registries across the world, Luke's team sought to estimate cumulative success rates with continued treatment.

"Women and families want to know the overall chances they will get pregnant, not necessarily whether they will get pregnant during a specific cycle," Luke said.

Data were obtained from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology's Clinic Outcome Reporting System for women undergoing treatment between 2004 and 2009. The system contains data on more than 90 percent of all clinics performing ART treatments in the United States.

The study of 246,740 women revealed 57 percent of women achieved a live birth via ART treatment, and 30 percent of all ART cycles resulted in a live birth. Success rates declined with increasing age for women using their own eggs, especially for those ages 38 years and older, but not for women using donor eggs.

The estimated natural fertility rate of the general population is about 20 percent per month, and estimated rates of conceiving spontaneously are 45 percent, 65 percent and 85 percent after three, six and 12 months, respectively.

Survey reveals Canadian men would most like to have a drink with Prince William

TORONTO, June 28, 2012 /CNW/ - In an informal survey of Canadian men conducted last week by Chivas Regal, one of the world's leading premium Scotch whiskies, almost half of respondents (47 per cent) identified having great relationships with family and friends as best defining true success. Tied for a distant second were one's bank account and overall health, each garnering 17 per cent of the responses. Rounding out the responses, 14 per cent selected one's career while just five per cent indicated making a contribution to society as best defining success. The survey results align with similar findings from recent market research conducted by Chivas in Canada.

"Canadians' view of what defines success is both holistic and progressive," says Rachel Kubacki, Brand Manager for Chivas Regal in Canada, referring to both the survey results and supporting market research. "As part of its campaign this year, Chivas is focusing its efforts on getting young Canadian men of legal drinking age thinking (and rethinking) about scotch in a new and progressive way. Chivas is also encouraging them to step back and examine the aspects that define their personal success."

In the survey, Canadian men were also asked which modern, successful man they would most like to enjoy a glass of Chivas with, and a majority (23 per cent) chose the would-be King of England, Prince William. Coming in second was another popular Brit, David Beckham (18 per cent), followed by Facebook mogul Mark Zuckerberg (12 per cent) and Canadian rap superstar Drake (9 per cent). 38 per cent of respondents chose to write in their own choice of modern man they'd most like to enjoy a Chivas with, and of those entries, some of the notable names included, Sean Connery, Bill Gates, Ben Kingsley, Sir Richard Branson, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Additionally, respondents were asked which attribute was the most important on the road to achieving success, with integrity leading the way at 34 per cent. The next most important attribute to becoming successful, according to the results, was determination (29 per cent), followed by confidence (19 per cent), loyalty (nine per cent), intelligence (six per cent), and finally, generosity (three per cent).

The survey was executed at the Chivas 1801: You've Arrived event on Thursday, June 14, in Toronto. Chivas Regal invited 150 lucky guests to a memorable night that included raising a glass of the super-premium Chivas 25-Year-Old Scotch with Dragon's Den host Bruce Croxon. The attendees mingled with Croxon along with former Toronto Maple Leaf Wendel Clark, Toronto Raptor Jamaal Magloire, New York Ranger Michael Del Zotto, and Flashpoint actor David Paetkau. The group was also treated to a rare and intimate surprise performance by the hot, emerging Canadian band Young Empires.

The event was designed to introduce new Scotch drinkers to the Chivas lifestyle. It followed a series of intimate tasting events in Toronto, hosted by select retail partners where consumers were given a chance to win an invitation to the larger, signature Chivas party. Those partners leading businesses from the men's fashion, grooming, gourmet food, technology, art and dcor arenas included Mankind, GotStyle, Bay Bloor Radio, The Healthy Butcher, Ben Sherman, MJG Gallery and Casalife. Partner brands were prominently featured at the main event, each offering a relevant interactive and educational vignette for attendees to enjoy.

"We call these types of events edutainment for the modern man," Kubacki added. "As Scotch continues to grow in popularity in Canada and around the world, Chivas wants to ensure it is speaking to its consumers in a way that is both relevant and memorable."

About Chivas Regal Chivas Regal is a truly global brand, selling 4.2-million 9L cases annually in more than 150 countries (more than a bottle sold every second). Chivas Regal has achieved a strong global performance number 1 in Europe and Asia, with dynamic growth in Eastern Europe, South America and most emerging markets. The Chivas Regal range is the epitome of style, substance and exclusivity, and includes Chivas Regal 12, 18 and 25 Year Old.
