The status of Carl Landry and Jarret Jack has drawn a lot of attention this off season for the Golden State Warriors. Amidst all the discussion of re-signing them or replacing their productivity, one question hasn't been asked enough; "What do the Warriors need from their position to contend for a title?" This fanpost is an attempt to answer that question for the backup PG position.
Jarret Jack was a godsend for the Warriors in the 2012-2013 season. His calming influence on the younger players and ability to score and give Stephen Curry rest were key contributors to the teams run into the Western Conference semi finals. For near MLE money, Jack brought stability to the second unit and gave coach Jackson a formidable 'small ball' unit to take advantage of other team's weaknesses. Looking at some of the stats kindly provided by Evanz in this article, we can see that the Warriors were as good if not better with Jack on the court - a rare thing for a backup PG. Add to that his positive locker room presence as evidenced by his votes received in the best teammate voting and it seems a no-brainer to spend a reasonable amount to bring him back, right? Jarret Jack isn't the answer (but another player is) and here are the reasons why.
There are 4 key factors and I list them in order of importance: 1) on court performance, 2) financial implications, 3) long term benefit, and 4) team chemistry. The blend of these factors should determine almost any personnel decisions. I think most of these are self explanatory with the possible exception of #3. I define 'long term benefit' as how the player fits into the team's long term plan. Are they a rental like Landry and Jack were last year, or are they a cornerstone piece that the team plans to have around for 3+ years like Curry or Lee when he was signed.
When I look at Jack he rates really well in areas 1 and 4, but not good in 2 and 3. Maybe he will give the Warriors a discount and mitigate area 2, in which case the team should probably sign him. My feeling is that he is going to demand $7.5m a year for 3 years as a minimum. This is too much for the Warriors to pay. Many of you have suggested that there is no better option, but that is where I disagree.
The answer: Shaun Livingston - grantland article
Livingston rates very high in all 4 areas. 1) Last year the Cavs were better with him on the court than off the court. Yes, that is right... when Livingston subbed in for Kyrie Irving the Cavs PPP went up and PPP against went down. He has been an adequate defender his entire career, and is a pass first PG who handles the ball really well. At 6'7" he is able to guard the other teams SG to allow him to play with Curry when needed. 2) Livingston is a steal making around $1m a year. Does 3yrs/$6m sound better than 3yrs/$22.5 to anyone else? This gives the Warriors added flexibility both this year to replace Landry and into 2014. 3) Livingston is still young and will turn 28 this year, but old enough to be comfortable with the NBA game and able to be a calming influence on his younger teammates. His character and toughness fits in with the team and is similar to Jack. 4) Chemistry is never something you can predict, but I would imagine that his pass first style of game and work ethic will fit very will with the team. Getting your best shooters better shots should make the team better, and an excellent wing defender fits a need we still have.
So while I love Jack and he was great for us last year, Shaun Livingston is the answer to the question Warriors fans should be asking.

ObliviansThe Bell House (149 7th Street, Brooklyn, New York, NY) Map it $15
After playing to a packed crowd at the Beekman Beer Garden in June, Oblivians are back for another whirl. Hailing from Memphis, the underground garage rock trio emerged in 1993 and went on to release Soul Food, Popular Favorites, and the Gospel-inspired Play 9 Songs with Mr. Quintron before going on hiatus in 1998. The late 2000's saw the band resurface to play the random reunion show, the most famous being their appearance with the Gories in 2009. Flash forward to 2013, and Oblivians are fully back on the scene, having just released a new LP Desperation, which they recorded at Dan Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville. Known to put on crazy live shows, passing instrument and vocal duties around like a good joint, Oblivians bring their madness to the Bell House tonight.

Since the advent of internet, philosophy sources on the web have grown steadily both in number and varieties. Nowadays, having an online profile and being up to date with regard to the latest debates, trends, and news on the subject has become a (almost obligatory) routine for professional philosophers, aspiring ones, and amateurs. Here we shall trace a map of philosophical encyclopedias as well as philosophy radios and TVs. Philosophy blogs, journals, and bibliographies will be treated separately.
Philosophy Encyclopedias
First of all we shall start from the most basic and complete sources to gain acquaintance with general philosophical problems: encyclopedias.
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy contains the most in-depth and thorough entries on the subject. The project for the encyclopedia started in 1995 at the Center for the Study of Language and Information, an independent research center founded in 1983. Under the editorial direction of professor Edward N. Zalta, and thanks to the help of Colin Allen and Uri Nodelman, the encyclopedia has then become a key tool for the latest waves of philosophy students. Also because of its rigor and in-depth level scrutiny, the Stanford Encyclopedia could so far cover only so many topics; luckily, more sources are available.
The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, also an open access encyclopedia hosted by the University of Tennessee, Martin. With approximately 25 editors and 200 authors, it is a useful instrument to start off research on a topic.
Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Online, which features more digestible entries in comparison to the Stanford Encyclopedia. Not all content, however, is open access.
Finally, the Wikipedia portal for philosophy is a quite useful too for quick references and searches. Always better to double-check with other sources, though.
Philosophy Radios
The most innovative form of philosophical content that the web has recently started providing us with are philosophy radios and TVs. A few places by now contain cutting edge debates on a vast array of philosophical topics, whose utility for both research and pedagogical ends is just beginning to be explored.
Philosophy Talk is a radio that has taken up philosophical questions of interest to a broad public. It is broadcasted both online and on air through a number of stations, and it is produced by Ben Manila Productions, Inc. on behalf of Stanford University.
The Guerrilla Radio show addresses philosophical issues that are germane to most philosophical courses - such as: What is the nature of time? What is beauty? What's the problem of evil and is there a solution to it? The show is "committed to 'waging war against idiocy' and 'bringing philosophy to the masses.'"
Hosted by Jack Russell Weinstein, Why? Philosophical Discussions About Everyday Life "may be the world's first call-in philosophy show", whose "mission is to create a large-scale conversation between philosophical professionals and the general public." It is broadcasted both online and on air.
BBC Radio 4 has hosted some fascinatingepisodes on a wide variety of philosophical themes.
The Philosopher's Zone is an Australian radio show hosted by Alan Saunders and produced by Kyla Slaven for ABC Radio National.
Finally, here you can also find a useful list of radio shows of philosophical content.
Philosophy TVs
Philosophy TV. A Video Website Devoted to Philosophical Thinking is a very promising project started off in 2010 from an idea of four graduate students at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. It features primarily debates between leading philosophers on topics of particular significance for both researchers in the field as well as the wider public.
The Institute of Art and Ideas is a not for profit organization focussed on making a range of stimulating philosophical debates accessible to the public. The Institute runs a philosophy and music festival called How The Light Gets In. All debates and talks at the festival are recorded and released over the year on IAI TV, while interviews with contributors are posted as articles on IAI News.

War Eagle!
Well folks, it's that time of year again. Time to face our most hated rivals from the other side of the state, the Alabama Crimson Tide. Auburn enters the game at 11-0 and Alabama enters at 9-2, but that doesn't stop the Vegas oddsmakers from having the Tide as a 3- or 4-point favorite (depending on whom you ask, as of today). Hopefully that will fire up our guys even more than they're already fired up (although I doubt there's much more room). While the SEC West title is already wrapped up (thanks to our victory over Georgia and Alabama's loss to LSU), there is still a ton riding on this game. Namely, bragging rights and a shot at a national championship. This is the biggest Iron Bowl since 1994, when both teams entered the game undefeated. If you're not absolutely jacked up for this one, then you need to see a doctor immediately; your heart may not be beating.
For the first time in the two-year prediction thread history, we had a tie in the Georgia predictions. Since I haven't established a method for a tie-breaker, we'll just have to deal with it. Maybe I can explore tiebreakers next year. Anyways, congratulations this week go out to commenters watchupdoc and WarDamnZach for each offering predictions (45-31 and 48-28, respectively) that were only four points off. Congratulations to the both of you, and welcome to the weekly winners' board!
Game 1 (Arkansas State): Sparkey
Game 2 (Mississippi State): Col.Angus
Game 3 (Clemson): Jumpn_JackFlash (PERFECT)
Game 4 (South Carolina): Todd92
Game 5 (Louisiana-Monroe): SandMountainTiger
Game 6 (Kentucky): AU04Natlchamps
Game 7 (Arkansas): UglyJoe
Game 8 (Louisiana State): buddy Ro
Game 9 (Mississippi): DarthTiger
Game 10 (Chattanooga): kerr024
Game 11 (Georgia): watchupdoc and WarDamnZach
By the time this
Saturday's Friday's game gets here, it will have been 13 days since we last played a game. It will pretty much be the same for Alabama, since they only had a scrimmage against Georgia State inbetween the two dates. This will be Auburn's toughest test to date this season by far, and easily the toughest road game we've faced this season. It will take our best effort to emerge out of Bryant-Denny victorious, but I think we'll be focused and ready to turn in the best effort. It will be an Iron Bowl for the ages! Buck Fama!
Auburn 34
Alabama 29
P.S. - Entries are accepted until one hour before kickoff (12:30 PM CT) and if a user enters two scores, only the first counts. Also, if you only give a score and don't designate which score belongs to which team, I will assume that you are picking Auburn to win by that score.

Now, I don't mean to be crass, but… Did we really need to see that last media segment? GOOD LORD that reminded me why so many fans have loathed both of these guys for the past few years. Just horribly over-exposed in the media, uninteresting, and so.. boring. Like watching wax mannequins mimic real people. ZOMG LOOK HOW NORMAL THEY ARE.
All the disingenuous chuckles, the ho-hum answers to each other's banal questions, and just the fact that a segment like that was actually happening. If you don't have the privilege of watching the ceremony right now, the segment in question involved Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy having lunch together, having a comically staged "conversation" about college football, and preening for America. Or is America preening for them? Sometimes, it's tough to tell. Because after all, ABC and ESPN were the ones that thought something likes would be a good idea.
If you wonder why people are rooting for Mark Ingram tonight, it's simple: he's not them.

GSAT changes coming
More higher-order skills to be tested
BY LUKE DOUGLAS Career & Education senior reporter firstname.lastname@example.com
THE content of two of the five subjects in the Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) is to be reduced while the exam will seek to test more higher-order skills.
This is according to Ministry of Education officials who are currently revising the exam which Jamaican students must sit in order to enter high school.
"The curriculum as it now is has a very high content in two particular subjects — social studies and science. It is being revised to reduce content in social studies and science, but at the same time more emphasis will be placed on aptitude and higher-order skills like evaluation and synthesis, which are the important areas for good education," said Senior Advisor to the Minister of Education Radley Reid at a ministry press conference at the Office of the Prime Minister last month.
Students' ability to master these higher-order skills were being asked for by the high schools, he explained.
For years critics have complained that the GSAT has too much content in some areas. Earlier this year, the education ministry confirmed that the controversial exam was being revised, a move that was welcomed by the Jamaica Teachers' Association.
Education Minister Reverend Ronald Thwaites made it clear that the GSAT, which examines what students have learnt at the end of their primary-level schooling before being able to enter high school, was not being scrapped as some critics have requested.
"The GSAT is not being scrapped, but the GSAT has to be modified to better test the critical abilities and capacities of the students that age," he said at the press conference.
Meanwhile, Reid said that the changes to the GSAT would take a few years because of the time involved in not only revising and piloting the new curriculum but also preparing teaching assessment modules for it.
"It is not something you are going to see overnight. It is going to take some time," he said.
Commenting on the GSAT, Reid, a retired principal of Campion College who is partly credited for making that institution the first choice among high schools for many parents in Jamaica, said it is "much better than the Common Entrance Exam" it replaced in 1999.
Also, the ministry's chief education officer, Clement Radcliffe, described the GSAT as "an effective measure of students' attainment at this (primary) stage".
A former principal of Glenmuir High, he said the exam was "effectively aligned with the grades four to six curriculum".
However, Reid cautioned that the GSAT revision "will not take away the pressure on parents about where their children are placed".
The other subjects tested in GSAT over two days are language arts, mathematics and communication tasks.

The new Ti-Series from d&b audiotechnik is targeted to fixed installation use, starting with the Ti10L line array loudspeaker, the Ti10P for point source use, and the Ti subwoofer. Both Ti10s are passive two-way units that house two 6.5" drivers and 1.4" exit HF compression drivers, and have the same dimensions (18.5"x7.8"x11.8"). They combine a rotatable horn and an acoustic lens within the grill assembly. The HF driver is fitted to a waveguide horn, producing vertical line source directivity with a 90° horizontal pattern; the acoustic lens widens this to 105° for line array applications. The Ti10L maintains horizontal constant directivity down to approximately 600Hz, and the Ti10P loudspeaker features vertical directivity control extending approximately one octave lower than similarly sized biaxial loudspeakers.
The Ti-SUB shares the same width and rigging hardware as the Ti10L for deployment either flown at the top of a Ti10L array or as a separate column. It can also be ground-stacked. It increases low-frequency headroom and extends the bandwidth of a Ti10 to 47Hz. The bass-reflex design utilizes a high-excursion 15" driver with a neodymium magnet assembly and employs d&b SenseDrive technology when driven by the D12 amplifier. Specifiers can color-coordinate the system and rigging to suit the environment.

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was eighteen months old. Now I am eighteen years old and I still have it. There has been more then one time when it seemed like a cure might be coming, but the ingenuity of the human body's defenses make a universal cure more complicated then it seems. So now I'm looking at a future with diabetes.
This isn't anywhere near as scary as it was at eighteen moths. Huge progress has been made. I have an insulin pump that makes delivering insulin incredibly easy, allowing me to react to my body at a moments notice. New pumps are coming out all the time, some of the new prototypes look extremely promising. The insulin I take now is more effective then what was widely used when I was diagnosed. When you take in all of these factors and add in the tremendous regime of personal care my parents have given to me, the future looks pretty good. Based on my recent check ups at the doctors, it's entirely possible for me to live a normal life span with few additional health problems. This was not the case for most diabetics when I was diagnosed. I owe most of this to you. To everyone who has given time and money to help JDRF in their efforts to improve treatments for type 1 diabetes. You have given me this future. I can not even begin to explain how grateful I am for this.
Here is the thing though, I'm still not happy with this future. I'm not happy with living at almost the same quality of life as people without diabetes. I want to be a person without diabetes. At the very least I'd like to be a person who never has to worry about his diabetes. If I can't get a new pancreas I'd really like an artificial one that doesn't need to me to tell it what to do to keep me healthy. That seems like a lot to ask. That seems like a lot of progress to be made. But it will be made. You can make all of that happen by doing what some of you have been doing for the majority of my life. Generously giving your time and money to continue to make my life easier and more comfortable every passing year. Thank you so much for all you do, and I look forward to seeing many of you at the JDRF walk this year.

Sussex dealt a double blow
9:00am Tuesday 18th March 2014 in Sport By Steve Hollis
Sussex have been dealt a double blow ahead of the start of the new season.
Vice-captain Chris Nash is likely to miss at least the opening four County Championship matches as he recovers from a burst appendix.
All-rounder Luke Wright will also be absent for part of the start of the season as his wife is due to give birth in New Zealand.
Coach Mark Robinson said: "It is slow progress with Chris. He has had a major operation so I'm thinking it will be potentially another two months before he is ready to play again.
"We're hoping he might be ready to return some time in May but we're not sure whether that will be training or playing."
Wright was expected to be available for the start of the season for the first time since 2010 after being overlooked at the IPL auction but is keen to be with his wife – who is from New Zealand – when she gives birth to their second child.
Sussex fly to Dubai today to continue their pre-season preparations which includes playing in the Emirates Airlines T20 Tournament plus two 50-over matches and a two-day game against Lancashire. Wright, Chris Jordan and skipper Ed Joyce miss the trip as they are currently at the World Twenty20 but England wicketkeeper Matt Prior is included.
Squad: Anyon, Beer, Brown, Finch, Hamilton-Brown, Hatchett, Jackson, Lewis, Liddle, Machan, Magoffin, Piolet, Prior, Wells, Yardy, Zaidi.

SAVANNAH, Ga. - A top Irish government official visiting the U.S. during St. Patrick's Day celebrations said Saturday he skipped a trip to Savannah, home of the largest and oldest St. Pat's parade in the American South, to avoid a dinner where only men are allowed.
Eamon Gilmore, who as deputy prime minister and foreign minister is essentially Ireland's No. 2 politician, instead made stops in Atlanta and New Orleans - where St. Patrick's Day crowds and parades pale in comparison to the nearly 200-year-old celebration in Savannah, which boasts that its parade is the nation's second-largest.
Gilmore told the Irish Times a visit to Georgia's oldest city would have come with the expectation he attend the annual dinner of the Hibernian Society of Savannah, a private event open only to men. The group's leader said Saturday that Gilmore wasn't formally invited but that he would have been welcome.
"Count me out - I'm not doing it," Gilmore told the Irish newspaper. "I don't believe in segregation either on a gender basis or on any other basis."
Early Irish immigrants to the Georgia coast held the first St. Patrick's Day parade in Savannah in 1824, and it has since swelled into a massive street party and tourism bonanza known to draw 400,000 or more revelers a year to the city of 136,000.

Health chiefs in smear test plea to women
8:00am Friday 31st January 2014 in News
To mark Cervical Cancer Prevention Week, health bosses from NHS England are encouraging women in Craven to make sure they have smear tests when they are invited by their GP.
Smear tests are the best way to identify abnormal changes in the cells at an early stage which can help to prevent cancer before it happens.
The latest figures show that 77.2 per cent of 25 to 64-year-olds in Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven Clinical Commissioning Group area attended their latest appointment.
Rona Daniels, screening and immunisation lead from NHS England, West Yorkshire, said: "It is estimated that early detection and treatment can prevent up to 75 per cent of cervical cancers. If abnormalities are detected at an early stage then treatment can reduce the risk of cervical cancer developing."

The Daughters of Ireland kicked off festivities Wednesday by honoring a very special lady.
This year Nancy Ray Johnson, the sister of Grand Marshal Jimmy Ray, received her parade sash from Father O'Brien. The annual dinner recognizes the Grand Marshal's female family members as well as the wives of parade adjutants.
Receiving the sash had become a prestigious honor and a Savannah tradition.
"It helps you to know more about the tradition of St. Patrick's Day. Also you meet a new man who has given a lot to Savannah, and that is what Jimmy Ray has done" Said Daughters of Ireland President Betty Shwarz.
Members of the Irish Dancers of Savannah performed at the event.

In today's Signal: How do you feel? Brands want to know; on Instagram, size matters; Firefox to block tracking; tech ads from the 80s; Contently launches a new publication; social media and your insurance company; organizing, measuring and manipulating data; big companies experiment cautiously with native ads; defining premium inventory; and more.
To the links…
How Do You Feel About This: AOL Enables Brands To Track Users' Unconscious Emotions, In Real-Time (Media Post) On June 14, AOL unveiled a new platform that enables brands to measure not just whether people are exposed to or even see their content, but how they actually feel about it. The platform, launching on AOL's entertainment unit Be On, utilizes users' own webcams to read their facial expressions while watching a brand's video content in order to understand what their unconscious feelings are while exposed to the brand's messages. According to MediaPost, "Be On CEO René Rechtman says AOL is already considering ways it could deploy the technology to track the emotional sentiment of its general users who want to opt into it. The initial goal, he says, is to improve engagement levels that users have with brands running video content on AOL, but over time he says it could be used to improve the overall user experience with any AOL or brand content."
It's No Accident Facebook Made Instagram's New Videos Exactly As Long As a Television Commercial (Quartz) Facebook just added the ability to share videos on Instagram, opting for a maximum length of 15 seconds, which is nine seconds longer that what Vine allows. Big deal? Well, yeah, because those nine second mean that advertisers can drop in their short television spots without even modifying them.
Firefox Web Browser to Move Ahead Plan to Block Tracking (Washington Post) Despite strong resistance from advertising groups, Firefox is moving ahead with plans to allow hundreds of millions of browser users to eventually limit who watches their movements across the Web. "Firefox would still allow cookies if users were to give a Web site expressed permission," according to the Post, "or if users were to visit a site regularly — as is common with shopping, social-media or news sites." Randall Rothenberg, president of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, reacted by calling browser makers "oligopolies." "There are billions and billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs at stake in this supply chain," he said. "It should be done with stakeholders' input."
15 Hilarious Technology Ads From the 1980s (Mashable) A look down technology's advertising memory lane. We can only wonder what we'll be laughing at in 2050.
Content Marketing Gets Its Magazine Moment (PandoDaily) Contently has launched a new publication, "The Content Strategist," aimed at brands, publishers, and freelancers, and promising "insights and analysis on brands, storytelling, and the future of content." What does this mean? According to PandoDaily, "if you're a journalist who cares about the increasing commercialization of the inverted pyramid, it's a punch in the guts. If you're a journalist who cares about making money, it's an interesting sign of the times. The Content Strategist is essentially a signal that content marketing, in which brands act as publishers, has reached critical mass."
Programmatic Buying and Content Marketing: Strange Bedfellows? (ClickZ) Our own Laney argues no, in fact, they are not.
Why Your Insurance Company Wants to Be 'Friends' on Social Media (Venture Beat) Basil Enan, the CEO and founder of CoverHound, discusses the value of your social media profile and activity to Insurance companies. "My insurance company will offer me a small discount for connecting on Facebook (Esurance already offers a "Like" discount in Arizona and Texas)," he writes. "Now that I'm connected with them via Facebook, they have access to lots of important data points." Enan goes on to look at how the company might use those data points. It gets really interesting when he talks about how the content of your posts and check-ins could be used in the future to not only determine how much you pay, but also to determine fault in the case of an accident or to reduce fraudulent claims.

How Brands Organize for Data (Digiday) Some of the most successful brands today are those creating digital marketing environments that are centered on data. Giselle Abramovich reports on how the environments of Mastercard, SAP and Conde Nast allow each of those companies to look beyond the horizon and be data gurus.
The 'Big Data' Fallacy (Digiday) Eoin Townsend, chief strategy officer for MediaMath, a digital media buying platform, talks about the problem with investing heavily in a data management platform to collect and store data. The drawback of having a big data strategy, he says, is that it's based on a fallacy. "Big data is just regular data, and its something every business should already be built on. Successful online advertising is not about accumulating data, but actually doing something with it. The DMP and DSP are elements of a larger solution."
New Ways Marketers Are Manipulating Data to Influence You (NYT Bits) Now that consumers have become used to retargeting — being followed around the Web by marketers — marketing companies are already focusing on the next generation of targeted advertising, one that collects and analyzes vast streams of data from social media, credit card histories and Web habits. Scott Hagedorn, the chief executive of Annalect, a data marketing company, said that the use of big data in digital advertising is "starting to get really prescriptive." We have the data, he notes, but it's about the processing power. "How you can manipulate the data — and what you can do with it."
Pretty Much Everyone Is Doing Native Ads Now (Adweek) The Wall Street Journal, CNN and NBC are just a few of the companies experimenting cautiously with native ads on some properties. NBC, for example, is still looking for the right content and the right advertiser, but won't "force it in." Peter Naylor, EVP of Digital Media at NBC News Digital Group, told Adweek, "the first rule is that there can't be one user who doesn't understand the difference between the editorial content and the advertiser content. The second rule is the editorial staff will never really be called upon to help create this content. Editorial will continue to create editorial—marketing and ad professionals will work on ad content." The clear message: Brands are treading lightly.
Note To Publishers: Not All Of Your Inventory Is 'Premium' (Ad Exchanger) In the latest "Brand Aware" column, Bob Arnold, Director of Digital and Social Media at Kellogg Company, argues that "premium" inventory is in the eye of the beholder. "For me," he writes, "the definition of premium inventory is 'inventory that enables the highest probability to increase sales and long-term brand equity.'" Given that his is a high-level definition, he offers seven attributes that that he feels do and don't make ad inventory 'premium.'
Why Monopolies Make Spying Easier (The New Yorker) Writer Tim Wu believes that governments will always spy, but it's the structure and design of information industries that make spying more or less likely. "These days, America has one dominant search engine, one dominant social-networking site, and four phone companies," He writes. "The structure of the information industry often goes unnoticed, but it has an enormous effect on the ease with which the government spies on citizens. The remarkable consolidation of the communications and Web industries into a handful of firms has made spying much simpler and, therefore, more likely to happen."
For Driving Engagement, Digital Video Ads Beat TV By a Wide Margin (eMarketer) According to a survey conducted by AOL Networks in April, almost 75% of marketing professionals worldwide plan to increase their spending on branded video content or video ads in the next year. "More than 50% of that group said that the added investment would come from TV and display budgets," eMarketer reports. "Only 4% of respondents planned to draw back spending on digital video ads."

Federal Workforce:
Attrition Rates at Ex-Im Bank and Similar Agencies
GGD-97-104R: Published: May 20, 1997. Publicly Released: May 20, 1997.
(202) 512-2637
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the extent of employee attrition at the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank) and similar agencies.
GAO noted that: (1) during fiscal years (FY) 1992 through 1996, 220 employees left Ex-Im Bank; (2) 15 of these employees had received retention allowances, 58 were in core professional occupations, 38 were in noncore professional occupations, and 124 were in administrative occupations; (3) during this period, Ex-Im Bank had attrition rates for all of its employees that ranged from 0.4 to 12.7 percentage points lower than the Agency for International Development's (AID) and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation's (OPIC) rates for all their employees; (4) during these 5 fiscal years, Ex-Im Bank also experienced lower attrition rates of core professional employees than did AID and OPIC for employees in the same occupational series; (5) during FY 1992 through 1996, Ex-Im Bank experienced core employee attrition rates ranging from 7.0 to 17.9 percentage points lower than AID's and 3.7 to 22.0 percentage points lower than OPIC's rates for the same occupational series; (6) Ex-Im Bank experienced losses of 7, 9, 15, 11, and 16 employees from its core professional occupations during FY 1992 through 1996, respectively; (7) the number of employees in the core positions, however, remained relatively constant due to new hires and transfers from other occupational series within Ex-Im Bank; (8) during FY 1993 through 1996, Ex-Im Bank had 159, 184, 183, and 188 employees, respectively, in its core professional occupations; (9) in FY 1992, Ex-Im Bank had significantly fewer core employees, 129, but Ex-Im Bank also had 103 fewer total employees at that time; (10) the three agencies' attrition rates for their other employees, noncore professional and administrative, varied in relation to one another during FY 1992 through 1996; (11) Ex-Im Bank and AID had the highest rates in FY 1992 and 1994, respectively, and OPIC had the highest rates in the other 3 fiscal years; and (12) Ex-Im Bank's higher attrition rates for the other employees were primarily due to higher attrition rates for its administrative employees.

Load Time Analyzer
I really had to dig to find this one.
Developers should enjoy this extension. The LTA (Load Time Analyzer) is provided by Google and installs nicely as a toolbar on the top of Firefox.
According to the site, the intended use is as follows:
- Choose which events you'd like to record using the "Record" drop-down menu.
- Click the "Clear" button on the toolbar to reset the event log.
- Visit a web page.
- Click the "Graph" button to display the page load graph.
- Use the "Scale" menu to view the graph more easily.
- Choose which events to graph using the "Graph" menu.
- Choose which labels to show on the graph using the "Text" menu.
- Change the colors of the graph by clicking the "Colors..." button.
The data in the graph proves useful in showing how long it takes for each section of the page to load. Using this graph, you can focus of which section of the page needs optimized and provide a faster page load...all thanks to Google.
The downsides to this extension are the presentation (translation: colors and buttons) and the Events and Time metrics. First, the presentation. Since Google's name is on this extension, it makes me wonder if a developer at Google developed it and just shipped it out the door without pretty-ing it up. Just a visible usability issue. This may be a personal preference to me, so just ignore me. :-)
Secondly, at first glance, you can't determine what you're gauging by the numbers. Are the numbers in seconds or milliseconds? You don't know. I imagine they're milliseconds.
The LTA extension is still excellent for testing your web pages for simple speed metrics and the graph can easily be used to analyze and optimize your layout for quicker load times.

As Atlantic Sun Conference basketball play reaches the mid-point of the season, players, coaches and fans are beginning to look toward Macon and the University Center. The road to March Madness for both men and women will begin on the floor of the University Center Arena. For the first time ever, Mercer will host the A-Sun Men's and Women's Conference Championships at the University Center March 3-6. Many of the games will be televised to a regional market and the men's championship game will be aired live on ESPN on Saturday, March 6.
The top eight teams from the regular season for both men and women will qualify for the tournament. With a month to go in the regular season, both the men's and women's regular season races for seeding, the term "upset" disappeared many games ago. Literally, any team can beat another on any given night and teams prove that almost nightly as the conference standings seesaw back and forth with each round of conference play.
Both Mercer teams are currently in the running for the regular season conference championships. Remaining home games in the regular season include: Jan. 30 double-header against Stetson, women at 1 p.m. and the men at 3:30 p.m.; Feb. 1 double-header against Florida Gulf Coast, women at 6:30 p.m. and men at 9 p.m. (televised game); Feb. 8 double-header against USC-Upstate, 5 and 7:30 p.m.; Jan. 18 double-header against the University of North Florida, 5 and 7:30 p.m.; and Feb. 20 double-header against Jacksonville, 5 and 7:30 p.m.

It is interesting how many times designers embark into projects because someone is dictating what to do. In my organization this is almost the norm. The sad part of this is that many hours are spent in the wrong designs, and the wrong solutions.

Julien ROLAND (@ Cairnz)'s curator insight, December 2, 2013 8:10 AM
Though I understand the purpose of Standardized Usability Tests and have used them (SUS), I see some limitations in using them IN ADDITION to the actual study's protocol: #1 addressing client -specific issues already requires tradeoffs in terms of issues to explore / questions to ask considering the average duration of individual tests and #2 it is possible to "be inspired"by standardzed tests and make sure these questions / aspects are addressed WITHIN the specific protocol. Of course #2 would not allow for comparability with other studies as the questionnaire is not delivered in a similar way. This is of course a big drawback in innovation research (as in R&D) projects where reference to previous studies / results is key, but how important is that for UX research in the context of customer projects?
Mario K. Sakata's curator insight, November 13, 2013 7:11 PM
Traditionally known for creating innovative 'bricks & mortar' customer experiences, FITCH has also had to rapidly adjust our approach. Translating a brand into a compelling consumer experience now requires a much more diverse skill base, a refined process and the ability to orchestrate a much broader range of touch points than ever before.

Jay-Z has invited President Obama to perform at the Philadelphia Music Festival which the rapper is organising for the Labor Day weekend in September.
The 'Excuse Me Miss' star has promised to try to get the President, who has previously shown off his vocal abilities with a rendition of Al Green down to the two-day 'Budweiser Made In America' music festival which kicks off on the 1st September.
"I'm gonna try. I'm gonna tell you guys right now: I'm gonna give him a call and I'm gonna try to get him to perform," he told Rolling Stone Magazine, "do a little rendition of Al Green" he joked.
The 42 year-old maybe one of the biggest stars on the planet and a personal friend of the man in the White House but even he was doubtful about his abilities to get him on stage.
"I think that opens up the political season." He admitted.
"He'll be so far into helping the world that he probably won't have time, but I'm absolutely going to ask him."
One person that the rapper is confident about getting to perform is his wife Beyoncé although he confessed that with her hectic work schedule he had to make sure he had enough time in advance to book the 'Love On Top' singer.
"I tried to put it far enough away that she'd have a little gap in her schedule, so hopefully that works." He joked.
As well as a possible line-up of Obama and Beyonce there will another 29 acts to play across the weekend and Jay revealed has already booked the head line act for the first night – himself!

There are trillions upon trillions of stars in the Universe. Some are only a fraction of the Sun's mass, while others are equivalent to hundreds of Suns. It is important to note that "most massive" doesn't necessarily mean the largest. That distinction depends not only on mass, but at what stage of evolution the star is currently in.
Side Note: Current theory constrains a star's mass to about 120 times that of our Sun. Beyond this, we don't understand how a star remains stable. Yet, the stars at the top of this list are beyond that limit.
Without further ado, here are the 10 most massive stars in the Universe.
1. R136a1
The Wolf-Rayet star R136a1 currently holds the record as the most massive star known to exist in the Universe. At more than 265 times the mass of our Sun, more than double most stars on this list, researchers are somewhat baffled at how such an object can even exist. It is also the most luminous at nearly 9 million times that of our Sun. It is part of a super cluster in the Tarantula Nebula, which is also the location of some of the other massive stars of the Universe.
2. WR 101e
The mass of WR 101e has been measured to exceed 150 times the mass of our Sun. Very little is known about this object, but its sheer size ears it a spot on our list.
Found in the Dorado constellation, HD 269810 (also known as HDE 269810 or R 122) is nearly 170,000 light-years from Earth. It is about 18.5 times the radius of our Sun, while outputting more than 2.2 million times the Sun's luminosity.
4. WR 102ka (the Peony Nebula Star)
Located in the constellation Sagittarius, the Peony Nebula Star is a Worf-Rayet class blue hypergiant, similar to R136a1. It may also be one of the most luminous stars, at more than 3.2 million times that of our Sun, in the Milky Way galaxy. In addition to its 150 solar mass heft, it is also a rather large star, some 100 times the radius the Sun.
There is actually a fair amount of controversy surrounding LBV 1806-20 as some claim that it is not a single star at all, but rather a binary system. The mass of the system (somewhere between 130 and 200 times the mass of our Sun) would place it squarely on this list. However, if it is in fact two (or more) stars then the individual masses could fall below the 100 solar mass mark. They would still be massive by solar standards, but not up to par with those on this list.
This blue hypergiant also makes the shortlist for the most luminous stars in the Milky Way. Located in the nebula NGC 3372, this object is relatively close compared to some of the other behemoths on this list. Located in the constellation Carina this star is thought to have a mass around 120 to 127 solar masses. Interestingly, it is part of a binary system with its companion star weighing in at a not-insignificant 80 solar masses.
Add HD 93250 to the list of blue hypergiants on this list. With a mass about 118 times the mass of our Sun, this star located in the constellation Carina is about 11,000 light-years away. Little else is known about this object, but its size alone earns it a spot on our list.
Another binary system object, NGC 3603-A1 is about 20,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Carina. The 116 solar mass star has a companion that tips the scales at more than 89 solar masses.
9. Pismis 24-1A
Part of the nebula NGC 6357, located in the Pismis 24 open cluster, is a variable blue supergiant. Part of a cluster of three nearby objects, 24-1A represents the most massive and most luminous of the group, with a mass between 100 and 120 solar masses.
10. Pismis 24-1 B
This star, like 24-1A, is another 100+ solar mass star in Pismis 24 region within the constellation Scorpius.

Insider threats are a rising concern. Over the past several years, there has been a steady stream of reported incidents of authorized users abusing their privileges to sabotage their company or steal confidential data for financial or competitive gain. Changes in the business environment are also contributing to this concern, as increased reliance on outsourcing, contractors and third-party technology platforms means that sensitive information is exposed to a larger group of people.
In the case of the insider threat, the perpetrator will already have access to the internal environment. Access controls and perimeter defenses aren't going to stop them.
Here are five tips for addressing this rising threat:
1. Have a comprehensive process for terminating employee access to the network. It seems obvious, but many organizations have process gaps that prevent them from closing certain accounts or detecting and shutting down active connections at the time that an employee leaves the organization.
2. Create checks and balances for system and network administrators. More than one person should have administrative access to every system and device, but shared usernames and passwords should be avoided because shared accounts are harder to audit and revoke.
3. Work with management to identify disgruntled employees. IT monitoring and detection efforts should be considered "air support" for management efforts "on the ground" to identify individuals who may be disgruntled or engaged in fraud. Computer misuse is often predicated by other workplace behaviors.
4. Pay attention to audit trails of system accesses and network activity around employment termination. Most insider incidents occur when an employee is on the way out the door, and they are often detected by examining log information – including traditional Syslog as well as NetFlow and packet captures.
5. IT cannot resolve insider threat problems alone. This is a multidisciplinary problem that requires cooperation between IT, HR, Legal and Executive Management to identify at-risk individuals while ensuring that employee privacy is protected.
From a technology standpoint, the only way to prevent this kind of attack is to have visibility into what insiders are doing on the network so that suspicious behavior – such as unusually large file transfers or attempts to access restricted areas – can be identified and further investigated.

text: Jan. 22, 2014 – The Federal Reserve may further reduce its asset-purchase program by another $10 billion a month, redu cing it to $65 billion a month, following its Jan. 28-29 policy setting session, according to reports. The Wall Street Journal reported that if the Fed trims its asset-purchase program again, it would be the "second time in six weeks as a lackluster December jobs report failed to diminish the central bank's expectations for solid U.S. economic growth this year." NAFCU Chief Economist and Director of Research David Carrier agreed some additional tapering could be in store. He added, however, that the Fed may not adjust its federal funds target rate this year even if unemployment goes below 6.5 percent. "They keep reminding us that it's a threshold, not a target, so they have given themselves wiggle room to allow it to go much lower than 6.5 percent," he said. Carrier said the key to the Fed's plans for how fast to unwind its quantitative easing program and bump up interest rates depends on what happens to labor force growth and the rate of those actively participating in the job market. "The jobless rate is declining much faster than the Fed expected – hitting 6.7 percent in December," WSJ reported. "It is falling in part because people are leaving the labor force, reducing the ranks of those counted as unemployed." The FOMC's Jan. 28-29 meeting will be the last for Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke before he retires Jan. 31. Janet Yellen, currently vice chair, will succeed Bernanke as Fed chair on Feb. 1.

Planned Giving
From the Museum's onset, planned gifts have helped to sustain the Museum. Today, planned gifts are more important than ever to ensure the Museum's stability and future success. The term "planned giving" refers to any major gift that involves financial or estate planning. Such gifts can provide important benefits both to you and to the Museum.
There are many different types of planned gifts. The Legacy Society recognizes members and friends who demonstrate their deep commitment to preserving the legacy of the Holocaust and teaching its lessons by making a planned gift or including the Museum in their estate plans. Through their foresight and generosity, these individuals play a key role in establishing a sound foundation for the Museum and ensuring its growth and success in the future. Members receive invitations to select Museum events and programs. They are acknowledged, with their permission, in Museum publications.
We would be pleased to work with you and your advisors to structure a gift that best fulfills your charitable goals and estate objectives. If you have or are already planning to leave the Museum a planned gift, please let us know and we will recognize your generosity as a member of The Legacy Society.

An electrical device that had been installed expressly to prevent a power outage caused the Super Bowl blackout, the stadium's power company said Friday as it took the blame for the outage that brought the game to a halt for more than a half-hour.
Armed with bicycles, group takes fight to San Francisco 49ers
NEW ORLEANS - Custom bicycles with Ravens stickers and purple decorations – they were the weapon of choice for a group of Saints fans that still have a sour taste in their mouth for the 49ers.
The bicycle club, known in New Orleans as the Crescent City Peddlers, was set up outside the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center Saturday. They were getting ready to ride through town, drumming up support for the Baltimore Ravens with NFL football fans that would be pulling for the Saints on any other Sunday.
"We are having a black and gold ride today in support of the Ravens running the game. Normally every Sunday we ride, but since today was so nice, we figured not a better day to ride than the day before the Super Bowl," said club president Wade Batiste.
"I don't like the 49ers. I want 'em to get whipped," Batiste continued. "They need to get whipped so next year when they come to the Saints, they get a double dose of what they need. We should've been there this year."
In November the 49ers defeated the Saints in a game that sealed New Orleans' fate for the 2012 season – no playoffs. In January of 2012, the 49ers defeated the Saints in the divisional playoffs.
Henry "Pops" Jones also doesn't like the 49ers. It's obvious by what he did to his custom bicycle. In the middle of a large speaker box that sits on his black and gold bike is a Ravens sticker.
"We are going for the Ravens Sunday," Pops said. "We are riding for them, but we're wearing our black and gold."
There were about 100 bicycles affiliated with the Crescent City Peddlers that rolled out Saturday afternoon in support of the Baltimore Ravens.
More Super Bowl Stories
Officials of the Superdome and its utility company say they will hire outside experts to investigate why power failed for 34 minutes during the Super Bowl.
The three-week-old star of Budweiser's Super Bowl ad now has a name: Hope.
While authorities investigate the causes of the 34-minute Super Bowl blackout, documents show that Superdome officials were worried last fall about losing power at the big game.
The national ad critics were quick to the punch in getting their thoughts out about the Super Bowl ads out. On Monday, Cleveland-area pros weighed in, too.
Oh, now you want to win the Scripps Celebrity Super Bowl Poll? What are you, a wiseguy? Well, actually you are, or at least you played one on TV if you're Tony Sirico, this year's winner.
Between a partial power outage, overly excited quarterback and a game that suddenly turned from snoozer to sizzler, CBS had its hands full with the Super Bowl. The audience offered a final reward, though.
When the Baltimore Ravens scored one of its touchdowns at the Super Bowl on Sunday, hundreds of fans in Baltimore won free furniture.
It was a surreal scene as players and fans waited while Super Bowl XLVII was halted for 34 minutes due to a power outage in the New Orleans Superdome.
The Super Bowl is as popular for the game as it is for its commercials and this year's selection was no disappointment with ads that ranged from the comical to the sentimental.

They should be good, but they ain't done nothing yet,"Rajon Rondo talking about the Heat during a Team USA practice Rondo went on to say "What is there to be nervous for? I'm worried about L.A. That's the team we need to beat. Miami looks really good on paper, and I'm sure they're going to be really good. But they still have to come together as a team. I'm not saying they won't, but who knows if those guys can jell." In a couple months the season will start and everyone will see the beautiful basketball music these players are going to make together. Once that happens then I wonder the next thing the haters will latch on to.

Ashurst shuts Delhi branch in wake of Lawyers Collective judgment
Readers' comments (12)
At the above poster, cutting and pasting your views from another website is hardly original. As for pitching to Public Sector Undertakings, you're probably aware that any disinvestment or offer of securities to foreign institutional investors or otherwise, will require foreign counsel. Why not have them sitting in Delhi instead of Singapore, Dubai, London or New York?
On a recent trip to India I met with some of the leading law firms and each lawyer I met (all young, recently made up Partners) was somewhat embarrassed about this situation and completely unable to justify it.
It is market protection - that's all there is to it. Client service or needs don't come into this at all. The Indian legal profession has a lot of political clout and they use it well...altough ironically only the larger law firms actually benefit from this, since a non-Indian law firm is hardly likely to compete with Indian lawyers for the morass of Indian litigation work.
On the upside, some Indian clients have realised that there is better quality service to be obtained outside India and we are seeing the effects of that. Some forms, of course, have hired Indian-qualified lawyers to service their Indian clients outside India.

Siege: May 18-July 4, 1863
In May and June of 1863, Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's armies converged on Vicksburg, investing the city and entrapping a Confederate army under Lt. Gen. John Pemberton. On July 4, Vicksburg surrendered after prolonged siege operations. This was the culmination of one of the most brilliant military campaigns of the war. With the loss of Pemberton's army and this vital stronghold on the Mississippi, the Confederacy was effectively split in half. Grant's successes in the West boosted his reputation, leading ultimately to his appointment as General-in-Chief of the Union armies.

Chris Bond made two free throws with 1 second left, lifting Ball State to a 60-58 victory over Eastern Michigan on Wednesday night in the Mid-American Conference opener for both teams.
Bond, who scored 18 points on 8-of-8 shooting for the Cardinals (7-6), was fouled by Da'Shonte Riley and sank both foul shots. Eastern Michigan couldn't get off another shot before the buzzer.
Jauwan Scaife also scored 18 and made four 3-pointers for Ball State, which led most of the game and shot 58.5 percent from the field but didn't make a field goal after Bond's jumper with 4:26 to play. Eastern Michigan tied the game with a 10-2 run, capped by two Jalen Ross free throws with 8 seconds left, before Bond won it.
Derek Thompson scored 16 points and J.R. Sims had 12 for the Eagles (7-8), who won both their games against the Cardinals last season.
