Fight people without guns
To defeat people that do not have guns easier, keep blocking and dodging. If you do not dodge, you will still get hurt. When you are in the prison, you will learn how to reverse a grab. This allows you to avoid getting hurt when they grab you. When you reverse the grab, you will throw their arms in the air. This will leave them open to attack (punch, kick, grab, etc.). However, they can still block.

On The Fly: Midday Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were higher at midday as a drop in weekly jobless claims may have increased confidence that tomorrow's closely watched monthly jobs report may not be as bad as feared. Other reports showed factory orders fell in January and fourth quarter non-farm productivity was downwardly revised, but both of those were widely expected. The Dow has been today�s leader while the Nasdaq has been the laggard, reversing yesterday's trend. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., weekly jobless claims fell 26K to 323K, which was better than the forecast for 335K initial claims. The government's estimate of productivity growth in the fourth quarter was lowered sharply to 1.8% from 3.2%, though this was generally in line with analysts' expectation. Unit labor costs fell 0.1% in the quarter, which was less than anticipated. Factory orders declined 0.7% in January, though that was only a bit worse than expected and was improved from the prior month's drop. Excluding transportation, orders were up 0.2%. In Europe, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England kept their key interest rates unchanged. COMPANY NEWS: Wholesale club operator Costco (COST) fell over 2% after its second quarter earnings and sales came in below analysts consensus estimate. Costco said its second quarter comparable store sales rose 3% and that its February comparable store sales were up 2%... Shares of office products retailer Staples (SPLS) plunged 15% after the company's fourth quarter results and first quarter guidance trailed expectations. The company also announced it expects to close up to 225 stores in North America by the end of 2015 and that it will no longer provide annual sales or EPS guidance. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Pixelworks (PXLW), which jumped 55% after the company disclosed that more than 10% of its revenue in 2013 was attributable to its sales to Apple (AAPL). Also higher was BJ's Restaurants (BJRI), which rose 18% after two different investor groups stated their intent to nominate slates to stand for election to BJ's board and the stock was upgraded to Buy at Buckingham. Among the noteworthy losers was internet radio provider Pandora (P), which fell 2.5% after its listener hour growth decelerated to 9% in February and the company announced it will discontinue its monthly report of key metrics. Also lower was Spark Networks (LOV), which was downgraded at both Canaccord and William Blair and fell 21% after the company's earnings report and forecast that revenue from its Christian Mingle website would drop modestly in 2014. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was up 85.41, or 0.52%, to 16,445.59, the Nasdaq was up 10.94, or 0.25%, to 4,368.92, and the S&P 500 was up 7.63, or 0.41%, to 1,881.44.

Brixmor (BRX) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at UBS... Continental Resources (CLR) downgraded to Neutral from Buy at UBS... Emeritus (ESC) downgraded to Hold from Buy at Deutsche Bank...

Meet Gracie the pint-sized pug
This tiny dog stole the hearts of the Stylist team when the images landed in our inbox this morning.
MoreForget Chihauhaus - Pugs are the quintessential fashion hound. Valentino is a famous pug-lover, Brix Smith-Start's two cute pups are rarely seen off the frow, and we even had our own pug dog-blogging for us one London Fashion Week.
Now, the wrinkled pooch is further cementing its status as the coolest canine around, with Luisa Via Roma's adorable toy pug charity collection.
The luxury online boutique asked 21 designers to dress Steiff toy dogs in their own mini-versions of canine couture - and the entire collection will be auctioned off on Ebay, with all proceeds from their sale donated to UNICEF.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) is a sub-type of Acute Non Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ANLL) (see this term) classified as variant M3 under the French-American-British (FAB) classification. It represents 5-15% of ANLL occurring in children. Symptoms are non-specific, being similar to those of other ANLL sub-types (fever, malaise, palor, hemorrhages). However patients are at a higher bleeding risk, caused by a severe thrombocytopenia which results from reduced medullar production and increased consumption. This increased consumption is due to the release of the granular content of promyelocytes and laboratory tests disclose signs of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Promyelocytic blast cells are characterized by a specific reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 15 and 17 t(15;17), which results in the fusion of a truncated retinoic acid receptor-alpha (RAR-alpha) gene to a transcription unit called PML (for promyelocytic leukemia). The fused gene encodes an abnormal retinoic acid receptor, wich impairs the differentiation of promyelocytes . APL can be cured in more than 90% of patients with trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) that has been demonstrated to induce maturation of leukemic cells. Treatment consists of the combination of chemotherapy (mainly antracyclines) with ATRA as well as supportive care.

Well regardless of what you might think, it is a beta. Difference is that
this is the unbroken PR2 (the PR2 you were using was the broken one). Please
see Netscape's online documentation.
>Doesn't seem like packaging (nor ``pkg_delete -v'') was tested...
yes... I intended to back out the multiple name thing in favour of reverting
but I was getting a lot of complaints that the PR2 was breaking so I wanted to
get something out quickly. If you want to put back your alternate binary name
(which is a good idea) please send me a patch using MULTIVERSION (for
compatability) and have it handle PLIST either way. Meanwhile I'll revert
to the netscape name for the binary.

The poem entitled "The Belfry of Bruges," refers to the building's checkered history:
In the market-place of Bruges stands the belfry old and brown;Thrice consumed and thrice rebuilded, still it watches o'er the town.
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Vanilla and Riesling Poached White Peaches

White peaches turn a soft shade of pink when poached.

- Calories from fat: 53%
- Protein: 1.8g
- Fat: 11g
- Saturated fat: 7.1g
- Carbohydrate: 22g

- Cholesterol: 25mg
- 1 bottle (750 ml.) dry Riesling
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split
- 4 white peaches
- 1 cup crème fraîche
- 1. Boil a large pot of water.
- 2. Make poaching liquid: Whisk together Riesling, 1/2 cup sugar, the vanilla bean, and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to very low and keep it there while proceeding with step 3.
- 3. Blanch peaches in the pot of boiling water, then peel (see "Peach-Peeling Secret," below). Halve and pit peaches.
- 4. Ease peaches into poaching liquid. Cook over high heat until liquid boils, then quickly turn off heat and cover pot with plastic wrap to seal. If edge comes unsealed, lay another piece of plastic wrap over to reseal. Set aside until cool.
- 5. Transfer peaches to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Boil liquid over high heat to reduce by half. Cool completely, then pour over peaches and chill until cold, about 1 hour.
- 6. Make topping: Whisk together crème fraîche and remaining 2 tbsp. sugar.
- 7. Place a peach half and about 1/4 cup poaching liquid in each bowl. Dollop with crème fraîche.
- Make ahead: Prepare through step 4 and chill, covered, up to 1 day ahead.
- Peach-peeling secret: Fuzz is a beloved characteristic of the peach, but when cooked, it can become tough. Remove the skin easily by scoring an X into the top and bottom of the fruit with a paring knife. Ease it into a pot of boiling water for 20 seconds, then transfer to a bowl of ice water. Rub skin at the X to loosen; then rub it off.

Fitchburg woman bags colossal alligator
Maryellen Mara-Christian
A Fitchburg woman traveled to South Carolina last week and went on the hunt of a lifetime, catching a 13½-foot, 1,025-pound alligator.
Maryellen Mara-Christian, 48, was alligator hunting Wednesday on Lake Moultrie with her husband, Mark, and a friend, when they spotted the colossal animal.
Mara-Christian was the first to hook the animal. She and her partners fought to reel it in, eventually harpooning it, shooting it, and then severing its spinal cord.
Mara-Christian said she had to get a permit from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, or DNR, to hunt the alligator during a month-long hunting season.
Some people dont understand why we hunt, said Mara-Christian. Mankind hunts to help with balance, she said, adding thats its up to agencies like the DNR to decide what can be hunted.
If you dont cull these animals, there will be disease and starvation from overpopulation, she said. She emphasized that she always eats the meat of the animals she hunts, including black bears, turkeys, deer, and coyotes.
Only 1,000 licenses were given out for the month-long hunting season, and each hunter is only allowed one per year, The Associated Press reported last week in a story on Mara-Christian's hunt.
The alligator had to be moved with a bucket truck. It was taken to a taxidermist, where the meatnow in Mara-Christians freezerwas processed. Shes waiting for the hide to be tanned so it can be mounted on her wall.

Review: MI Windows and Doors
Posted in the Beverly Hills Forum
Anyone know anything about MI Window and Door Company? I was looking at changing out my windows with new vinyl ones and am looking at the MI Professional Series Window. The MI Professional Series Window that I am looking at quailfies for the new stimulus tax credit of $1,500. Anyone know if MI Professional windows are a good replacement window?

I bought MI vinyl windows when I bought my house 6 years ago. One of my windows was fogging up I called MI Windows up and they sent out their field service rep and he fixed it for free. MI Windows service is top notch.
Judged: 1 |
I have had my MI windows for 2 years and really like them. I did have a window right after installation stick a little bit. But MI came right out and serviced it. No charge. I don't know the series but they are replacement windows not new construction. The MI windows I have are double strength glass and lowe366. I think the windows made in 2001 probably aren't as good as the ones made today.
I have the same windows in my home and they are doing the exact same thing. I have been trying to find out how to get warranty repair. Can you post the contact information you used? |
United States |
My MI windows are only 1 years old but they are great. My house doesn't get as hot or cold. No issues and they work like they did when they were first installed. I know the window I got is a new product line for California.
Sue you can go to MI's website and look under warranty info. www.miwindows.com |
I am looking at MI Xact 1650 Designer series double hung windows. Can anyone offer me info on these windows?
They can be reached at email@example.com. |
1600 specific product information on their website: http://miwd.com/productSelection/ProductCompa... |
United States |
Judged: 1 We are the original homeowners of a home constructed in 2003 (in Charlotte as well) and nearly three-quarter of our windows (same series too) have this same EXACT problem. My husband and I are stumbling our way through filling out the warranty paperwork, which isn't very straight-forward and leaves the impression that the OWNER is responsible for the installation of the replacements. God, I hope that's not the case, because we'll find ourselves a new window manufacturer instead of dealing with MI. |
I am replacing 16 windows in my home in New Jersey. I got a quote for 7,400. The window is the Xact 1650 model fro MI. The price includes labor. Does anyone have an opinion on this window and price
I got a quote for 20 double-hung Xact 1550 windows for 6,000. I am in Virginia. |
United States |
Not happy with the service or window after a year. Service is very slow to fix things.
United States |
WOW! Half of you are satified and the other half are not. Maybe I'll go with adding more insulation and bag the window replacement. I have reps from three different window companies coming this week (of Feb. 8 in S. Central PA) and I'll wait to see what they have to offer.
Judged: 1 1 I am a window installer and dealer in NJ, I carry Pella. I can do better using a major brand like Pella. If interested contact me at email@example.com |

Kenmore dryer 11.66901691 Belt Drive broken
Hello Mr. Guru, I reinstalled the new belt, but it is loose. It rounds the "DRUM"-"MOTOR PULLEY"-"PLASTIC PULLEY ASSEMBLY".
This picture shows how the belt goes around the idler (belt tension) pulley which is usually where such a problem exists. Of course, its tension spring must be in place as well.
Also, make sure you've purchased the correct belt. For model 110.66901691 it should take belt part # 661570.

Tuesday Tidbits
Crooks proceeded to delve into how he spends a lot of time exploring any thesis for why he might be wrong. This is very important to understand for anyone who goes narrower than a three ETF lazy portfolio.
The way I think of it is that every portfolio is vulnerable to something (actually more than one thing) and it is important to know what you are vulnerable to and if or when your weak spot might hurt you and then what to do about it, if anything.
This is why I think people like Kudlow offer so little. As I have said before, there is no need to protect against the rosy scenario he kept espousing. But since the market does not go in one direction anyone interested protecting against down a lot must stay in touch with what threatens his portfolio or the overall market.
From the alternative assets file I found this article about freight futures on Alphaville. In the last couple of years, and I am sure over the next couple of years too, there have been products created to invest (or speculate) in all sorts of things that don't correlate directly with stocks.
Anyone buying into the idea that we will have to endure below normal returns in the equity markets might be curious to learn more about these products or maybe someone will list a kitchen sink fund that will own a whole bunch of these things like some Baltic Shipping Futures, Carbon Credit Futures, the Australian Meat fund (this is a real thing but not traded on the secondary market) and the Kazakhstan tengi. Couldn't that mix deliver an absolute return we could all live with? Obviously I no idea.
Yesterday's post was syndicated on Seeking Alpha and a reader there left a link to a PDF by Zvi Bodie that explores a 90/10 allocation as discussed yesterday. It was worthwhile to read a different, and very qualified, spin on the concept.
The first flaw that came to mind in Bodie's piece (I'm not casting stones, every exercise like this has flaws, anything I could possibly come up with would have flaws too) was the potential for incredibly low interest payments.
The paper was written in 2001. Since then we had short rates with a one handle for a long time and we might be on the way there again for a long time. Having 90% in t-bills yielding 1.5%, or even 2.5%, for any length of time seems problematic and chances are rates that low would have been considered an outlier of a possibility in 2001.
Early on the piece he talks about TIPS for some or all of the treasury portion so obviously the interest is even less which might not be so bad unless the deflation crowd turns out to be correct.

Hi Roger, speaking of low interest rates, with most usa interest rates now below the current rate of inflation, ie. negative real yields, i know you often speak of what the text book says, does it say anything about what is the usual best of action in this situation of negative real yields? In particular as it relates to income. Do you go with shorter maturities? Longer? Shun utilities? Overweight gold/commodities etc. Thanks
- Roger Nusbaum said...
i will answer this with Wednesday's post, it is a great questions.
- Rick said...
In line with jimidean's queries into "ye olde textbook", can you comment on today's PPI and consumer confidence numbers going in opposite directions?
The rating agencies affirmation of the monolines leaves me wholly unimpressed: by leaving those ratings in place, the rock (of rating agency methodology) is less likely to be turned over (as apparently evidenced by the Moody's share price today).
Fundamentally (and I'm curious whether my intuition comports with the textbook), I don't see how P/Es can be sustained if inputs are increasing in price even as demand is (presumably) softening (per today's consumer confidence, yesterday's existing home sales (which did beat estimates), and? tomorrow's new home sales and mortgage applications numbers).
Are all of these economic indicators so fully discounted as to support a longer term rally, or does your textbook suggest that this may be more of a relief rally as bull/bear technicals come back into balance?
Not seeking direct investment advice - just a sense of the textbook view.
Rick in NY - 1:46 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
Looking for a case for a rally is not what i am interested in because markets can easily decline when they shouldn't and easily go up when they shouldn't.
I am hardpressed to add anything to what Hussman says about PEs other than I don;t find them very predictive. Look at a chart of SPX on bigcharts with the PE as a lower indicator.
Hussman believes in them, me not so much (as a predictive tool for the market).
I may not be following your question about PEs sustaining, i am inclined to think that if anything estimates and so then reports would come down, making PEs higher or along with the estimate declines the market also drops.
what has been going over the last few days seems like the feel good rallies i talked about a few weeks ago, and really so far a mild feel good rally based on past bear markets--if you even think that is where we are.

I have gone from roughly 75% invested to 50% invested today.
Personally I really like the way Hussman views P/E ratios. You have to remember he use peak earnings in his analysis not just earnings. That said the bear market continues and this rally will not last forever.

Lots of good yields out there. MLPs, ETF's galore that capture significant cash, etc. Roger knows where to find them!

My reference to P/Es was sloppy. The point I was trying to get to is reduced earnings.
I suppose I was wondering if your textbook would suggest that as the average "market P/E" resets as earnings decrease, will the multiple investors are willing to pay for those earnings itself decrease?
I suppose this is nothing more than the definition of a bear market.
You're right, this is Hussman's territory.
And since the earlier post, some of the retailers have released better than expected results, so it may be that seg has the right idea - at least until we leave the trading range (125/142 on SPY)(For US large caps, anyway.)

A defragger is a utility that ensures files on disk are in one contiguous chunk. A defragger may also position files on disk so that frequently used files get prime real estate. The outermost tracks (beginning of the disk) have faster transfer rate because they are longer, and hence pack more data per revolution. They are also faster because they are near the prime OS (Operating System) system areas where the heads tend to hover over. Ideally it would order files by last access date, perhaps weighted by frequency of use statistics. That way all your hot files are close together, and files that end to be used together live side by side. It may also defrag and tidy directories and other system tables. It may consolidate free space fragments.
Windows has an official NTFS (New Technology File System) defrag interface. It is extremely conservative and slow. The idea is that defraggers can safely run while other programs are running simultaneously messing up the disk. Another advantage of the interface is that bugs in the defragger are very unlikely to corrupt the disk. Further, system crashes while a defragger is running are also very unlikely to corrupt the disk. It would be much faster if Microsoft would implement it properly. It should buffer up several requests to move small files, and move a batch of them (or file fragments) in one single elevator seek. The interface could stay the same. It would just have some extra intelligence inside to do the moves slightly out of order, in batches.
Defraggers don't move exclusively locked files. In theory they could. The programs locking them would never notice, any more than they notice unlocked files being moved on them, but probably for performance reasons, locked files are left alone. This means, for optimal defragging, you don't want other programs running and using the disk. Defraggers often do their delicate work at boot time to avoid other programs, even the OS, from interfering.
You can help your defraggers along by putting your system proper on a partition to itself C:, your scratch space on D:, volatile data on E:, your programs on F: and your attic of rarely accessed collected programs and files and backups on G:. The idea is you keep the volatile files together and the stable files together, with the most used files closest to C:. Stable files, if not mixed with volatile ones, tend to stay defragged with very little work.
At the lowest level, all defraggers are identical. The OS itself moves the files, using a conservative algorithm that is designed to recover from power failure at any time. This limits the speed of all defraggers. Another advantage is even bugs in defraggers can do very little damage.

Unfortunately, Paragon, the only defragger to internally compact the MFT, no longer makes defraggers..
Obviously the ideal defragger should defrag all the files, including the metafiles. It should also optionally internally defrag the MFT putting the most active files together, the pagefile, putting pages for a given job together and the registry, sorting entries alphabetically and compacting out the deadwood.
The ideal defragger should let you trade off speed of defragging vs speed of operating between defrags. The user should not need to be involved with any other details unless he wants to be. Ideally, the defragger needs to know how frequently files are accessed/written (not just how frequently they are opened for read/write), how frequently they change size (gain new fragments), and which files are used together. The OS provides only two primitive approximations, the last-modified-date and the last-accessed-date. The ideal defragger would need to monitor file use between defrags to get a more accurate picture. Properly, the OS should maintain data useful for defraggers.
Real-world defraggers that organise by last-modified-date tend to be fast, since files that need defragmenting tend to be clustered, leaving the other files already in position. Real-world defraggers that organise by last-access-date tend to be slow, but the other apps run faster between defrags. They not only put the most-used files in the prime real-estate, they put files that are used together next to each other.
Disktrix is the only real world defragger that seems to understand the outer rim of the disk is prime real-estate. An ideal defragger should put the most used files there. It should avoid the inner tracks altogether, even for deadwood.
An ideal defragger should leave bands of empty space in places convenient for the OS when nearby files grow. This requires studying the strategies the OS uses to allocate space. It might even be possible to pre-emptively allocate extra space to files guaranteed to grow soon, such as log files. Raxco Perfect Disk has some ability to do this, but only if you are a techie.
Defraggers waste a lot of time sliding a group of files up or down by a few clusters to make room for file that has grown or to close up the space once used by a file that has been deleted. Most of the time this work can be postponed or avoided. The sliding is a lot of work that most of the time makes utterly no difference to performance. Sometimes the clusters have to be shifted to a temporary location then to the final location, which makes the problem even worse. By adding empty space buffer zones cleverly, most of this double shifting can be avoided. If you like to watch the hypnotic display such as those in O & O, you will see that shifts go much faster if there is a fat pocket of free space before the area to be shifted because double shifts are not necessary.
There needs to me some experimentation on the ideal place for a temporary slot when double shifts are needed. I strongly suspect that the first free slot, or the innermost tracks, the strategies used by most real-world defraggers, are strongly sub-optimal.
The defragger should tell you how badly fragmented a drive is so you can tell if it is worthwhile to do a defrag or a boot time defrag/MFT compaction.
It should offer a few options for the hypnotic display including assigning colours for clusters by their ultimate destination, blue near the centre and a smooth spectrum to red near the rim. You would see a rainbow develop as the defrag proceeded. It might assign colours based on how far a cluster is from its ultimate destination — blue for far away in a smooth spectrum to red for in place. The display would gradually turn red as the defrag proceeded, the metaphor being coming home to hearth. See Wavelength for code to generate a rainbow of colours.
Defraggers need intact control structures on the disk. If the disks have been corrupted by a system crash or rogue software, running a defragger will only make matters worse. To check for trouble and repair it click Computer ⇒ right click properties for each of your drives ⇒ click tools ⇒ check now. Then reboot. ChkDsk will run twice on each drive, then reboot.
Some people are worried that regular defragging will put extra wear on their disks. Consider that undefragged files put even more wear on disks since the fragments of fragmented files may be accessed tens of thousands of times where it takes only one access to defrag them.
The only reasonably quick and satisfactorily thorough defragger that I know of is Norton SpeedDisk for W95/W98/Me 9x-FAT partitions. Norton SpeedDisk 5.0 is acceptable for NTFS, but I think with some work it could be speeded up further to handle several small files in a single elevator seek.
I know of no decent ones for OS/2-HPFS or Linux-ext-2 partitions. Perhaps one could be devised that booted under its own mini-OS and defragged by copying from partition to partition handling all the major OS formats. It would then not need to worry about crashing, and could do the I/O, including the directory and FAT I/O in massive buffered chunks.
With larger disks, speed becomes more important. Norton is about half the speed of the competition. On the other hand, it gives the best performance improvement.
The Master file table traditionally goes in a band in the middle of a disk, so don't expect your defragger to compress it down with the other files. This convention was designed to work well if you never defrag. When the disk gets full, this crucial table will me in the middle of the files. You can improve performance if you have dynamic disk partitioning. You can shrink your partitions which will pull the MFT nearer the files on a sparsely populated disk partition. You can grow and shrink the MFT with the fsutil utility.
To write an efficient disk defragger, model how you tidy your apartment, better still, how Martha Stewart tidies her house.

Business Analytics Webinar Series
The NYU Stern Business Analytics Webinar Series enables prospective students to engage in a dialogue with thought leaders in the field of business analytics.All webinars are complimentary and open to the public.
Mobile Analytics: Apps, Advertising and Commerce in the New 'Mobile' Economy Presented by Professor Anindya Ghose, Associate Professor of Information, Operations and Management Sciences and Co-Director of the NYU Stern Center for Business Analytics Tuesday February 26, 2013 at 11:00am EST Join us for this webinar |
The dramatic growth in mobile activities has led to a corresponding torrent of granular data that capture a wide variety of user behaviors. Whether mobile users are communicating with others, posting or consuming digital content, alerting others to their location, purchasing goods or services, or reacting to ads, they are creating a "digital trail." Such digital trace data on human interaction and activity lends itself to customer and big data analytics.
Anindya Ghose will discuss how to measure and quantify the value created from the use of apps, advertising, and commerce on mobile devices in the course of meeting some strategic goals and tactical issues. A key goal is to gain a better understanding of the behavior of mobile users using big data analytics that combines statistical modeling with randomized experiments "in the wild." This webinar will also focus on the differences between web and mobile analytics. Most people make the mistake of assuming mobile analytics is similar to web analytics, while they're actually poles apart. If we care about measurement using data, we have to care about how data was generated in the first place before doing any predictive, experimental or econometric analyses.
Key Takeaways:
1. Understanding how the fragmented nature of the mobile ecosystem makes mobile analytics very different from web analytics.
2. Understanding audience behavior and advertising effectiveness on mobile devices.
Business Analytics Made Easy: Data to Innovation Presented by Professor Harry Chernoff, Academic Director of the MS in Business Analytics Program Thursday December 6 at 11:00am EST Watch the recorded webinar at IIBA.org |
This session introduces you to the origins of Business Analytics. Specifically, we focus on why and how Business Analytics guides effective decision-making and strategy formation in organizations. Business analytics has existed for decades. Why is it exploding today? Why has it gained such popularity in the press and business world? The answer lies in the intersection of Business Analytics and Big Data. We define these terms and explain why they rank today as treasured assets for top management. We'll examine the application of Business Analytics to three different industries: Retail, Gaming, and Healthcare. These examples highlight the innovative decisions and strategies that result from Big Data analysis.
From individual decision makers to entire organizations, we discuss the changing culture needed to assure the growth of innovative thinking.
We will address salient topics in Business Analytics including:
1. Why is Business Analytics so popular today?
2. How can organizations become an environment for innovative thinking?
3. What are the social risks inherent in utilizing Big Data?
Key Takeaways:
- Big Data presents enormous opportunity for business. Volume, velocity, and variety define the challenges of Big Data
- Decision-making is data-driven. Evidence drives decisions, not intuition.
- Using personal customer information can have negative consequences. Don't spy. Respect people's privacy.

An epitaph for the Web standard, XHTML 2
XHTML 2, we hardly knew you.
XHTML 2, a technology intended to build a more powerful Web from the ground up, met a quiet end last week, spotlighting the difficulties of standardization in a fast-moving Internet. Introduced in 2002, XHTML 2 was a centerpiece of standards work at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
But incompatibility with the existing Web and a direction at odds with Web developers' desires doomed it to a slow demise. On Thursday, after a long reconciliation with browser makers who'd struck off in a different direction, the W3C announced that it will wind down … Read more

The Lassen National Forest has announced that in response to public input, the Canyon Dam boat launch area will be kept open for the remainder of the winter season to allow access to the shoreline area for fishing.
Although access to the area will be plowed, boaters are reminded that there is no boarding float at the Canyon Dam launch. The float was removed last month due to safety concerns.
The forest had originally planned to keep the Almanor boat launch area open and plowed to provide a full-service launch facility complete with boarding float. However, the extremely cold and icy conditions at the Almanor launch ramp made the decision to provide service at Canyon Dam more reasonable.
The Almanor boat launch was plowed Jan. 9 to provide an option for boaters who require a boarding float. As spring approaches, the Almanor launch will be plowed on an as-needed basis. However, because funding is limited, the current priority is to keep the Canyon Dam ramp open throughout the winter.
For information regarding snow removal for these areas, contact Jane Goodwin, Almanor Ranger District resource officer, at 258-2141. Questions regarding the boarding float at Canyon Dam should be directed to Heather Blevins, assistant forest engineer, at 257-2151.

MORGANTOWN - Compared to former WVU football coaches, Dana Holgorsen is a different cat.
He's certainly quick with a quip.
When asked about the new helmet rule, which states a player must exit a play if the top pops, Holgorsen said this about center Joe Madsen:
"Joey's helmet comes off because he's in the trenches. He said in the first game he's going to put duct tape around his chin and helmet. Nike will probably be mad, but ..."
And this on splurging after signing his new contract Wednesday:
"I splurged on a bunch of film last night. Was up here until about 11 o'clock. Then we had some fine dining in the back."
Holgorsen, though, is new age not only in his offensive philosophy, but other aspects. For instance, he was refreshingly candid when asked about areas of comfort and discomfort.
After practice No. 8, he immediately pointed to one area of increasing comfort.
"You know, the O-line," Holgorsen said about his offensive front. "You know what you're getting with Madsen, [right guard Jeff] Braun and [left guard Josh] Jenkins. Those guys have played a lot of football around here. They've solidified the inside.
"[Right tackle] Pat Eger had his problems last year. He's playing better. We have the ability to move him down to guard. [Reserve tackle] Curtis Feigt looks like a different guy. We feel much more comfortable putting him in. [Left tackle Quinton] Spain looks like a different guy. We feel much more comfortable putting him in.
"So we feel really good about them. We're trying to find one more guard. That may be moving guys around; I don't know. But we've identified guys [for] depth. We're still trying to find a few more."
"Obviously, we've got a couple receivers that can play, but we need five more," Holgorsen said. "We don't know who that's going to be."
Freshman Jordan Thompson just might be a starting inside receiver. Ivan McCartney and Ryan Nehlen are battling. That will be an area to watch.
Ditto the linebacker corps.
"We have, really, three returning starters in [Jared] Barber, [Doug] Rigg and [Jewone] Snow," Holgorsen said. "They played a lot last year. Najee Goode was the guy that held that together. Finding a guy to replace him from a leadership, toughness and playmaking standpoint, we haven't found that yet. But you have starting returning experience in there. We've moved Shaq Petteway and Isaiah Bruce in there. They are two guys who are really athletic, but don't have starting experience."

I too can reproduce this issue, when adding > 38 nodes to a TreePanel as a result of an XHR request (that's not necessarily the minimal test case, merely what I've got to so far ...)
It's clearly a regression in IonMonkey, for which I've raised https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=828319 along with a basic stacktrace of how I got to see the problem (without Firebug - as using their debugger disables Ion). There is a similar bugzilla report of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=818023 which suggests that it's possibly related to the use of apply() as well (which ExtJS clearly uses a lot).
I don't have a public test-case I provide yet - however I note that at least for me, the Tree examples hosted on cdn.sencha.io don't actually load any tree panel content at the moment, which might make it easier to show the problem if some of them are loading lots of nodes at the same time?

Great, thank you for your efforts...

Hi there,
after hours of testing I found a workaround for this problem I think. Seems pretty strange though:
Code:if (Ext.firefoxVersion >= 18) { var noArgs = []; Ext.override(Ext.Base, { callParent : function(args) { var method, superMethod = (method = this.callParent.caller) && (method.$previous || ((method = method.$owner ? method : method.caller) && method.$owner.superclass[method.$name])); // Workarround for Firefox 18. I don't know why this works, but it does. Perhaps functions wich have // a try-catch block are handled differently try { } catch (e) { } return superMethod.apply(this, args || noArgs); } }); }

Holger, your code really works also with our applications. Our problems were similar: some parts/or whole components were not loaded when firebug was disabled/not on (FF 18 only of course).

I have started to get this problem as well. Seems intermittent and I cannot consistently recreate it with a test case.

I can confirm that this happens with my app as well, and that Holger's workaround helps. Thanks Holger.

Let's see. My list includes going to 5 Professional Development days, preparing lesson plans for K-5 PE classes and trying to get PE/ common core to go together. I have had 2 video seminars to 'attend' and paper work to fill out for 700+ students to put on computer.
Luckily I have family who is very supportive and helpful and doesn't mind my paperwork all over the kitchen table.

Check out some pictures from this year's event. Click here > May 1st, 2012 Distinguished DJ I am honored to receive "The Distinguished West Virginian Award" from Governor Earl Ray Tomblin. It appears that part of the reason I received it was all my years DJing at various functions and events. I have always said, "Find a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life." I truly love what I do. I feel like the luckiest man alive. Thank you everyone. Here I am posing with Raamie Barker, Tomblin's Chief Adviser. Click here > |
