Philip Bilden is the right choice to help us expand and modernize our fleet, including surface ships, submarines and aircraft, and ensure America's naval supremacy for decades to come," Trump said in a statement released Wednesday. Bilden is the last of the three service secretaries to be nominated. On Monday, Janu-
ary 30, he nominated Heather Wilson, former Congresswoman from New Mexico, as Air Force Secretary. In December, he announced Vincent Viola as his choice for Army Secretary. The nominations of Wilson and Bilden still require confirmation by the U.S. Senate. (UPI News Source).

The cost of a 30-second Super Bowl commercial is up to $5 million for 2017, up from $4.8 million last year.

Super Bowl game has increased by 76 percent during the past decade, reaching $4.8 million in 2016. That price is up to $5 million for Super Bowl commercials in 2017. A major change this year for viewers is that Fox, which is broadcasting and streaming the game, will insert local commercials into online viewing of Super Bowl LI. “While this might just look like the natural progression of video to the web, it marks a major milestone,� Caristi said. “Instead of losing viewers to the Internet, local over-the-air television stations will still have local audiences see their commercials. Fox will make it possible for local stations to reap the financial benefit of online viewing, allowing them to charge advertisers in their local markets.� Fox Sports will broadcast Super Bowl LI on Fox Sports GO, the streaming platform that showcases all of Fox Sports’ live events and studio programming. Caristi noted that about 170 Fox affiliates are partnering with Fox Sports to program local digital ads. “This will be a nice shot in the arm for local Fox affiliates,� Caristi said. “Many people watch the Super Bowl more for the commercials than the actual game. So, people will pay attention when the local advertisements pop up.� Caristi may be reached at dgcaristi@bsu.edu.
