Google Place Search – Easy way to find local information

Google Place Search – Easy way to find local information

I love to discover new places, from sandwich shops in my neighborhood to great museums around the globe. When I start looking for something in a new area, like a barbecue restaurant in Austin, I usually do quite a few searches. I might search for a list of restaurants and then search for details about each place, like which one has the best atmosphere and live music.

Today we’re introducing Place Search, a new kind of local search result that organizes the world’s information around places. We’ve clustered search results around specific locations so you can more easily make comparisons and decide where to go. Say you’re looking for that great barbecue restaurant with live music. With Place Search here’s what you’ll get:

Google Places

The new results are marked with red pins, and each one is a unique restaurant with relevant information and links from across the web. I can see that Stubb’s has live music, and I can click citysearch.com, tripadvisor.com and other sites to read reviews. In the past, the same search would return links with information about Stubb’s in different parts of the results page (here’s a screenshot of what it used to look like). Now information is grouped conveniently to make it easier to digest and compare.

Place Search results will begin appearing automatically on Google when we predict you’re looking for local information. In addition, you’ll find a new link for “Places” in the left-hand panel of the search results page so you can switch to these results whenever you want. For example, when I’m in New York, I love to go out and play foosball, but a search for [foosball] doesn’t automatically show me Place Search results. If I click “Places” I get the new view:


We’ve made results like this possible by developing technology to better understand places. With Place Search, we’re dynamically connecting hundreds of millions of websites with more than 50 million real-world locations. We automatically identify when sites are talking about physical places and cluster links even when they don’t provide addresses and use different names (“stubb’s bbq” is the same as “stubbs bar-b-que”).

One of the great things about our approach is that it makes it easier to find a comprehensive view of each place. In our new layout you’ll find many more relevant links on a single results page—often 30 or 40. Instead of doing eight or 10 searches, often you’ll get to the sites you’re looking for with just one search. In our testing Place Search saves people an average of two seconds on searches for local information.

Place Search is rolling out now and will be available globally in more than 40 languages in the next few days. During the roll-out process you can use this special link to preview the new results. Our goal is to help you feel like a local everywhere you go!

Cablevision buying western cable company Bresnan

Cablevision buying western cable company Bresnan

cable television provider Bresnan Communications, a move that will help the New York cable company expand into western states.

Bresnan has cable systems in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and Utah with more than 300,000 basic subscribers. It’s owned by Providence Equity Partners. Founder and cable pioneer Bill Bresnan died last year.

James Dolan - Cablevision

The deal follows an auction that involved bids from some of the nation’s largest cable companies. Other bidders reportedly included Charter Communications Inc.; Ascent Media Corp., a media services holding company in which media mogul John Malone has 30 percent voting control; cable company Suddenlink Communications and private investment firm TPG Capital. Time Warner Cable Inc. also reportedly put in a bid, but its offer did not survive the first round.

Cable systems operated by

Time Warner Cable and Comcast Corp., which owns 30 percent of Bresnan, are adjacent to the areas served by Bresnan.

The deal is expected to be completed later this year or early 2011.

Cablevision, the nation’s fifth-largest

cable TV operator, said it will also buy back up to $500 million worth of shares to reward shareholders.

Last month, Cablevision reported that its first-quarter net income more than tripled as it added more customers, and it boosted its

dividend by 25 percent. The Bethpage, N.Y., company, which also owns the newspaper Newsday, spun off its Madison Square Garden operations in February.

In premarket trading, Cablevision shares rose 10 cents to $23.50.

Installing Folding and Sliding Doors

Installing Folding and Sliding Doors

closet_doors_2Swinging doors require that objects be set well away from the doorway if the doors are to be used, but sliding and folding doors allow furnishings to be placed closer to the opening. They can also be installed in double-width door openings to divide rooms. The following information will help you decide which doors are most appropriate for your home. Detailed installation instructions will be included with the particular doors you choose. Lowe’s is happy to provide this information as a service to you.

Standard doors are 80″ tall, but your door opening may be smaller than that. Measure the space before you go shopping — a door probably can be cut to fit if the opening is not standard. In a few cases you may have to place a special order for the size you need.

Measure horizontally across both the top and bottom of the opening, as well as vertically on each side. When determining what size door to buy, use the smaller of each of your vertical and horizontal measurements. For example, if the left vertical measurement is 80 1/2″ and the right vertical measurement is 80 1/4″, use 80 1/4″ for the vertical measurement when determining your door size.

You may find that the door opening is not square. In that case, it will be necessary to bring it in line. This is not difficult and, unless the doorway is significantly out of square, will probably be taken care of simply by shimming and leveling the tracks used in the installation. You can cover small misalignments along the door jambs with decorative trim after you install the doors.

Bypass doors work well for closets. They require no door swinging area, so there is no lost floor space. The doors may be made of wood, mirror or glass, and they are usually between 3/4″ and 1 3/8″ thick. Almost any door can be made into a sliding door by installing it with sliding door hardware.

Bypass doors are hung from a track, which is installed below the head jam of the door opening. The track is hidden by a piece of decorative trim. Another track or guide is typically installed in the bottom of the door opening to guide the bottom of the doors.

Installation of bypass doors is a simple procedure. The basic steps are:

  • Fit and install the overhead track against the head jamb of the door opening. Use shims if necessary to level the track. Rollers on bypass doors.
  • Attach door rollers to the tops of the doors. The rollers, which fit within the overhead track, are adjustable so the doors will hang plumb.
  • Install a track or a set of guides in the bottom of the door opening to keep the doors in line.
  • Hang the doors from the overhead track.
  • Adjust the tracking guides on the bottom of the doors to straddle the bottom track, preventing the doors from swinging inward or outward.Or fit the doors inside a bottom track or a set of floor-mounted guides: First set the doors inside the track or guides, and are then lift them and hang them from the top track. (Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.)
  • Install decorative trim to cover both the hardware and any misalignment of the doors and jambs.

Bifold doors are ideal for situations in which you need access to the full width of the door opening — in a laundry closet, for example. These doors come in a variety of styles, including plain, raised-panel, louvered and mirrored varieties.

Installation of bifold doors is simple and, in general, involves the following steps:

  • Install the top track first.
  • Install the bottom track on the floor directly below the top track. (Some bifold doors may not use a bottom track.)
  • Install the doors by first putting the bottom pivot point into the lower track socket. Then put the top pivot point into the top pivot socket. Usually the top pivot point is spring loaded. To install, retract the pivot point, place it into position, and release it.
  • Position the upper and lower sliding guides in the track channels.
  • Space the panels evenly and fit them to the door opening by adjusting the track sockets.
  • Raise or lower the panels by adjusting the height of the lower pivot pin.
Multifold doors.
Multifold doors are useful as temporary room dividers.

Multifold doors are made of narrow panels that fold like an accordion. The panels may be made from wood, plastic or fabric.

When closed, these doors resemble paneling or vertical blinds. When open, they take up little space. These doors are generally thin, and they do not usually provide much sound insulation. However, they are easy to install and can even be mounted along ceilings, making them convenient for use as privacy dividers between rooms or to close off spaces.

Multifold doors hang from rollers that run inside a track along the ceiling or door opening head jam. Specific installation instructions will vary with the type.
