Life With Father is Disappointing
By Ron

The film was transferred by people and/or equipment that was not properly used. The sound quality shouldn't be that bad. It was a big let down. I really wanted to enjoy this film. since I couldn't understand what was being said, it was a total waste of my time.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love this Movie-Very Poor Sound Quality
By Luv Old Movies
from Knoxville, TN
About Me Casual Viewer
I love old movies, especially this one. I was so excited when it arrived in the mail. However, when I played it, I couldn't understand what they were saying. Very poor sound quality! I am unable to return the movie, because I got rid of the return slip before I played the movie. I have never had this problem before! Now I know, don't throw away the return slip until you watch any movie.

This, in my opinion, is a great story from a great book. The disc quality is poor. I do not know why the picture quality was bad, but it is.

Utterly Delightful
By Joysnthryd
from TX
My husband and I rate this film in our top 10. It's simply a delightful film about a family "ruled" by a father who likes to be in complete control. However, it is obvious to the viewer that the mother is the real head of the family.
Poor quality DVD
By Air Man
from Saginaw, MI
Video is grainy and audio is very poor. TV version is much better than DVD.
Let Down
By Flattery Ann
from Dayton, Ohio
I have always wanted to have this movie in my classic collections but when I received it I was totally disappointed. I watched about 30 minutes of it and had to take it out of the DVD player...honestly, I was so disappointed . I am with another person who wrote a review on here, that they couldn't BELIEVE they got such an inferior product from TCM. I didn't bother sending it back as it was a pain to go through the trouble, now I am gunshy about purchasing another one with a different label. One thing I will say though is that I hadn't purchased another film from TCM until recently so they lost me as a customer for over 3 years.
By Robin
from Surprise, AZ
I love this movie and already had a copy of it, but I hoped TMC would off a better copy of it. The picture and sound are both poor, and disappointing. It's too bad a better copy doesn't seem to be available, as this is a wonderful, funny, and entertaining movie. I love the story line, the characters, and the costumes, the setting. If a new, restored version with the sound and visuals recovered were to come out, I would buy it again.
Life was Simpler than...
By Coxy
from Brooklyn, New Yor
Life with Father is a cinematic gift that can lift one's spirits considerably. It is briliiantly directed and acted. The cinematography is stunning! The editing is pitch-perfect, The set design brings old New York back to life. This is an impeccible film for the whole family to enjoy!

By Moviebuff
from Calgary -AB
The first time I watched this filme I was around 12. It was so funny and without the malice that was already common at that time, that it is clear to me why I loved this wonderful comedy:because its ORIGINALITY; not like the comedies that appeal to pies on their faces and silly jokes. In the movie, the wife is either extremelly intelligent to confuse the husband or totally scatterbrained to confound herself. Lots of small and hilarious, subtle situations - Rare, pure gold humour.And to the gentleman who calls himself RSONAB,THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD DONE A REVIEW, and prefers his video cassete version to the DVD, I would take the DVD gladly from him. Regards, Míriam Oliveira

Very poor quality video & sound
By Rsonab
from Henderson, NV.
I just purchased this DVD movie. It has very poor quality Video and sound. I have this movie on VHS with better quality. Not at all what I would expect from TCM. This was a waist of time and money.

"Destiny has cheated me,Something the hero has quested for intently is now within his grasp. It could be a valuable treasure, personal knowledge about his unknown past, a chance to avenge an old wrong, or maybe the very thing needed to finally get off the island and negate Failure Is the Only Option. But at the same time, a friend or ally who has helped him is lying unconscious on the floor, about to be crushed by a collapsing ceiling, eaten by monsters, or murdered by the Big Bad and his minions. There's only enough time to save one — which one is it going to be? Of course, a true hero will choose to save his friend over taking the treasure every single time. (Besides, it wouldn't be wise to resolve a whole major ongoing plotline right in the middle of the season, now would it? Or to lose any of the regulars, either.) It's very rare that the hero manages to Take a Third Option and do both; that's usually reserved for a Grand Finale or situations where a villain forces a hero to make a Sadistic Choice. Whether villains know this and deliberately set up such situations to prevent their own capture (or to ensure that they can get the heroes later) is left as an exercise to the reader. An Aesop with "My friends are more important to me than anything else" overtones almost always follows. If employed too often, this can get Anvilicious and try the audience's patience, making them wonder why they don't Just Eat Gilligan. They won't, of course. Who knew being good could suck so much? (Conversely, under some circumstances, the very fact that the hero hesitates can make us suspicious about his moral instincts.) This trope is sometimes referred to as a "Doctor's Dilemma", after the title of a play by George Bernard Shaw (see "Literature", below). See also Hostage for MacGuffin. A specific form of the Sadistic Choice and a classic Moral Dilemma.
By forcing me to decide upon,
The woman that I idolize,
Or the hands of an automaton.
Without these hands, I can't complete,
The opera that was captivating her!
But if I keep them, and she marries him,
Then he probably won't want me dating her..."

Reviewed in Root like there's no tomorrow!
Unfortunately this app only works for the Nexus line. But if you have a Nexus and are rooted, this app is essential. It is able to lock or unlock the bootloader without wiping data. Also the Tamper flag can be modified. I use this app to relock my bootloader after achieving Root.
*** Android 5.0 Lollipop has changes MANY that affect root apps. BootUnlocker HAS NOT BEEN TESTED under Lollipop, so it MAY NOT WORK. ***
This application REQUIRES a Galaxy Nexus (GSM, Verizon, or Sprint), Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (2013), or Nexus 10, with root.
You've rooted your Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (2013), or Nexus 10, and you are trying to decide between the security of relocking your bootloader (with stock recovery and USB Debugging off), and the flexibility of leaving it unlocked.
You know that in order to prevent an unauthorized user from accessing your data by flashing a custom recovery, "fastboot oem unlock" wipes your data. This also means that if you relock your bootloader, you will need to do a full backup-and-restore whenever you decide to unlock it again.
BootUnlocker for Nexus Devices lets you have the best of both worlds by using root privileges to unlock your bootloader from within Android, without wiping your data. This allows you to keep your bootloader locked for security, with this application safely protected behind your lockscreen password. Whenever you want to unlock or relock your bootloader, just unlock your screen and run BootUnlocker.

Effort to delay paid parking fails
Date: July 6, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
During an update on the city's plan to reintroduce parking meters downtown, Commissioner Terry Turner said he thought it was a bad time to implement what he saw as a tax on merchants and their customers.
It's an extraordinarily risky economic environment," said Turner. "I'd like to defer it for at least a year and perhaps until after the Palm Avenue garage (is complete)."
Turner made a motion to delay implementation, but no one seconded the motion.
Mayor Dick Clapp and Vice Mayor Kelly Kirschner said they'd like to wait to make a decision until this month's budget hearings.
Commissioners Fredd Atkins and Suzanne Atwell expressed their full support for parking meters.
"I don't want to wait a year," said Atwell. "I think it's time."
The city is planning to meter about 700 spaces along Main Street and adjacent roads as early as this fall. The price would be $1 per hour, and the meters would accept credit cards.
So far, merchants have generally been opposed to the plan, but the city is exploring the possibility of revenue sharing, which would give a portion of the meter collection back to the merchants to make improvements downtown.
Some business groups, such as the Downtown Partnership, believe revenue sharing could bring a shift in merchant support.

WASHINGTON - Get jerked around by big national companies and many times there's nothing you can do but endure it. You might get satisfaction, however, by helping name and shame the worst company in America.
"The Consumerist Worst Company In America 2011" tournament works like the NCAA basketball tournament with brackets where the worst offenders advance.
Some of the "worst company" faceoffs include United/Continental versus Delta, Toyota versus BP, Apple versus Microsoft and RadioShack versus Best Buy.
"This tournament is about engendering conversation," says Consumerist.com Senior Editor Chris Morran, adding that each match-up gives people an opportunity to talk about issues unique to individual companies.
"Our goal hopefully would be that...companies read what people are saying and make systemic changes" to address the underlying problems that help put them on the list.
Morran says this year's front runner is Bank Of America. One complaint customers have had is they repeatedly get mortgage foreclosure notices after calling Bank of America multiple times and being told the issue had been resolved.
"It shouldn't be a complicated problem. If somebody's account is showing up incorrectly, it should be a simple fix."
Morran says some companies in the "Worst Company" brackets have no incentive to change, like last year's winner, the nation's largest Internet and cable provider Comcast.
"Their customer service is just horrendous."
Morran says Comcast gets away with treating customers badly because it doesn't have to care.
"They're generally a monopoly in the areas they are in, so they have no vested interest in actually making their service better because that would cost them money."
Vote and explain your choice to advance the bad company brackets here.

Castleford Tigers Head Coach Daryl Powell said his side full deserved to claim their 10th First Utility Super League win of the season, following the 34-22 triumph over Widnes Vikings at The Mend-A-Hose Jungle on Sunday.
The Tigers trailed 12-10 at the half-time hooter following a first half where the lead changed hands four times, but the home side produced an inspired second half performance to come away with the spoils and remain third in the table.
It took until the early exchanges of the second-half for the Tigers to really come to life after Justin Carney and Paddy Flynn were both sinbinned for a punch up. Cas scored two tries in as many minutes through Luke Dorn, with the Tigers exposing the vacated area down the left flank.
Powell agreed with his opposite number, Widnes coach Denis Betts, saying it was a pivotal moment in the game, although he insisted that the Tigers were good value for the win.
"We attacked the side where both sides had lost a man pretty well. I thought we could have done it a little bit better towards the back end of that period.
"It was a tough game and there wasn't much in it. I thought at half time that we had been in a real battle and that we needed to be a little bit better.
"They had played a little bit better than us, particularly in the last 25 minutes of the first half and they were finding some space on our edges. But we held tough and I thought that we were a bit unlucky in the first 15 minutes; I thought we should have had more points in the half.
"In the second half we pretty much had control until they hit us with two tries towards the end. It was a little bit scrappy at times but obviously we're really pleased to get the two points."
It was the combination of Marc Sneyd, Michael Shenton and Dorn who produced the goods for the Tigers in that crucial ten minute period, with Powell suitably impressed with their input.
"Dorn is pretty sharp; I thought that there was a time in the first half when he should have passed the ball and he was lucky to get out of it.
"In the second half he came up with some really smart pieces of play; he's a very quick and instinctive rugby league player. He got on the end of some of the opportunities that we created down the left hand side and finished pretty well.
"Shenton didn't get much ball in the first half and I thought that we played within ourselves. We spoke at half time about opening our game up a little bit.
"In some ways, the space that was created with Carney and Flynn going off, gave us the space for Shenny to play into. Sneyd and Shenny were great in that period.
"He's been playing some outstanding rugby league and he's been ever present; he's a really durable character whose leadership is growing all the time as well."
At one stage, Powell's men lead by 22 points before the Vikings pulled two converted scores back in the final 10 minutes which made for a tense final few moments for the Cas coach.
"I would have liked us to hang on to those 12 points that we conceded at the end," Powell added.
"It's tough when you're playing against teams like Widnes, when you get to a point where they're prepared to chance their arm, and they did that well against us.
"I was getting a little bit worried going into the last four or five minutes thinking if they get another one then there's a chance they could get another and there could be a draw on the cards.
"It got a little bit edgy but I thought we were good enough in the end and I thought that we were good enough to win the game today."

Cold Case File Reopens 11 Years Later
RIVERSIDE -- A cold case file involving the horrific murder of a young father found tortured and beaten to death during a home invasion has reopened.
Luigi Bovenzi was 24 years old when he was murdered in his Riverside apartment.
Eleven years later, his family is back at the crime scene.
"It was just a complete shock, and it tore us apart," Luigi's brother Giustino says. He was only 13 when Luigi was killed.
"He was the cool big brother, the one you wanted to be like," Giustino adds.
In November 2002, Luigi's family hadn't heard from him in a few days and they got worried.
His uncle had an extra key, so he and Luigi's mother Debbie went to his apartment to check on him and found him dead.
"That day never leaves my mind. I try not to think about it, but it's always there," Debbie Bovenzi said.
Luigi's attackers stabbed him multiple times. He died from blunt force trauma to his body.
There was no forced entry, which leads detectives to believe Luigi knew at least one of his attackers.
Officials say Luigi's killers were after a safe full of money that Luigi kept in his apartment.
Riverside police investigated the homicide, but after a while, the case went cold.
And now, years later, Detective Bill Wertz is looking at the homicide with a fresh set of eyes.
"It's a hard thing for the family to lose a loved one, and not to mention not knowing why or how," said Wertz, who is a member of the Montgomery County Cold Case Squad.
Luigi's family says he was a was young dad with two children who loved life.
"My brother was one of the funniest people I've ever met. He was always happy, always laughing, real happy, loved video games, always real smart," Giustino says.
Over a decade later, with no answers and no arrests, this family is hoping for a break in the case.
"It tears away from me a little each day," Debbie says.
"I hope, I hope that this can get solved," Giustino said.

India are 130 for four in 25 overs while chasing 315 against New Zealand in the third One-Day International (ODI) at Auckland. Skipper MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina are trying to build a partnership of sorts to script a recovery.
Dhoni is trying to play an aggressive hand and has hit two sixes so far. The one off Kane Williamson in the 24th over was huge as it sailed into the second tier over square-leg.
The plan to bowl short to Suresh Raina has continued. On one occasion, he managed to help it along for a four. It almost went for six, but fell just short.

I will take care of you, Jeremiah. Your enemies will ask you to plead on their behalf in times of trouble and distress. (v.11).
READ: Jeremiah 15:10-21
Although I've been walking with God for decades, I admit that I sometimes still question Him. While I've learned not to blame Him for things I now recognize as Satan's handiwork, there are still moments when my faith is weak and I wonder if He really cares.
It's been helpful to see in the Bible examples of God's servants going through their own times of questioning Him. One of the most dramatic examples occurred in the life of the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah. God called him as a teenager to go and warn his fellow people of His impending judgment. Knowing Jeremiah would encounter strong resistance, God encouraged him not to be afraid of the people, and promised His presence and protection (Jeremiah 1:5-19; 15:11).
Strong resistance is exactly what Jeremiah found as he spoke God's message. His countrymen treated him like a joke and he was hated wherever he went (15:10). They physically tortured him and at one point left him for dead in a pit (38:6). Even Jeremiah's family abandoned him (12:6).
As time went on, the disillusioned prophet said to God, "Lord, you know what's happening to me. Please step in and help me. . . . Your help seems as uncertain as a seasonal brook, like a spring that has gone dry" (Jeremiah 15:15,18). Later, Jeremiah would flat-out accuse God of deceiving him and blame Him for all of his troubles (20:7-8). But in the midst of calling God out, something unlikely happened within Jeremiah. As much as he tried to forget God, the more he realized he couldn't deny Him (v.9).
Having doubts about God? Go ahead and tell Him. It won't surprise Him or change His love for you. But, as it did for Jeremiah, it just might change what you think about Him. —Jeff Olson
How have you been questioning God's presence and work in your life? What gives you hope in God's reality?

Your Ad Server, My Ad Server: Trends With Discrepancies Today
For many years, the deliver of display media impressions through ad serving on a single media buy had resulted in a disconnect between what two different parties said was delivered in the ad serving food chain - think advertisers/agencies, ad networks and publishers .. they're are all in this mix. Industry initiatives and innovation has continued to drive at solving the discrepancy issue. So, where are we today?
We asked several industry executives to chime in with their views on the following question:
"What's your take on trends you're seeing with discrepancies in ad delivery reporting today?"

Mitchell Weinstein, SVP, Director of Ad Operations at Universal McCann
"Discrepancies have not been a major issue for the past couple of years at our agency, ever since the revised IAB/AAAA T&C document was released. As long as we are using an industry accredited ad server, we have been able to use our agency ad server counts for billing. That's not to say discrepancies don't exist between agency and publisher counts, because they do. But the back and forth over how to handle billing has been greatly reduced.
One area where discrepancies still cause some issues is between the different agency ad servers. We will often use multiple ad servers for a single campaign (standard, dynamic, rich media, video, etc.), and those ad servers will never agree 100% on the impression counts. So it's important to identify up front where the billing numbers will come from. Complete and open communication with our media partners is key to making this work properly."
Jay Wright, Yield Management Group Leader, Cars.com
"For Cars.com, the trend has gotten better. But that's only because we switched to DFP and most of our advertisers use DFA. Interestingly, this fact brings up a whole different issue. I find that the advertiser's choice of agency side server makes a huge difference. For a while, we were tracking discrepancies by 3rd party system. Probably not surprisingly, different 3rd party servers have discrepancies with completely independent (and predictable) means and standard deviations. Some are normally distributed around 3%, but others are predictably 5% or 7%.
I'm completely in favor of accountability and I'm more than willing to have my site be held responsible if we don't deliver on a contract. However, I'm not willing to lose 5% extra revenue because of the agency's choice of ad server. The short term fix is to simply pad the impression goal up by the estimated loss from a particularly wasteful server. But often, those padded 5% or 7% of impressions are in valuable content areas that could be monetized by other campaigns. I understand there are different business reasons for agencies to choose different 3rd party systems, but it seems very unfair to push the cost of that decision onto the publisher.
In the long run, there are only two ways I see to be fair to the publisher (assuming the publisher is reputable and they are using reputable technology too). The first is to pay on first-party numbers. The second is to have a rate card based on the agencies choice of ad server.
For the time being, this doesn't seem pervasive enough to take either of those actions. But, if we continue to see agencies running increasingly elaborate creative on new platforms and technology, the variable pricing is something that I'd strongly consider implementing at our company."
Bart Boughton, VP, Advertising Operations, TheStreet.com
"Unfortunately, discrepancies between publishers and 3rd party delivery systems continue to be a problem despite advances in reporting and various efforts to bring greater transparency to the numbers. This becomes magnified as publishers' inventory mix extends beyond standard banner units to rich media, video, mobile, and tablet inventory. Currently, publishers must manually aggregate reports to compare primary (internal) delivery numbers with 3rd party delivery. This can be a tedious process that is difficult to maintain and publishers with small teams often find themselves discovering large discrepancies and other issues well into a campaign rather than at launch.
One way we combat these issues at TheStreet is by creating an identifier for each ad/placement in our primary system that gets tied to a placement or placements in the 3rd party system. The 2 are linked in each report shortly after a campaign launches, then going forward the comparison can be analyzed on a regular basis. There is an effort required to create and maintain the initial association, but the benefits far outweigh the investment of time. Publishers can detect and address discrepancy issues early on, view placements that are not live that should be, and perform accurate revenue forecasting using billable numbers rather than internal estimates."
Mike Lewis, CEO, Ad-Juster
"Discrepancies have not and are not going away. While display discrepancy rates have come down some in the past few years, the reality is there is still a reasonably large average discrepancy that varies by adserver and depends on an array of other factors including creative size, 3rd party ad vendor, number of total files, and number of trackers and cookies. A common strategy to compensate for these discrepancies is to use complex rules based on loosely correlated factors to set local campaign buffers. Unfortunately, the significant variance from ad placement to ad placement often defeats these static approaches. This failure leads to either over or under delivery which eats directly into publishing margins. Our initial analysis with several publishers has produced some eye opening numbers about exactly how many impressions are effectively "thrown away" each month using similar schemes, and exactly how much potential revenue they represent. The only real solution remains active, preferably automated, buffer management by the ad operations team. Video, rich media, and ultimately mobile increase this imperative due to their significantly larger average discrepancy rates."
Daniel Davies, Director, US Ad Operations, Adnetik
"The disparity between reporting touch points (e.g., ad server, exchange, DSP) seems to be showing some improvement over the last year, after some very discrepant times. However, there still exists a fundamental difference in who's counting an impression when. Few veterans of the digital industry would deny that things have gotten much more complex over the last five years, if measured only by the amount of activity occurring within that split second before an ad is served. Data providers, ad servers, DSPs, exchanges, aggregators, resellers, each recording and interpreting the same event a little differently. What we sometimes end up with is a handful of varying snapshots, all taken of the same thing, but at slightly different times. And, it seems as if the number of entities involved in a single impression rendering is only getting larger with each year. So, one would assume that the discrepancy in reporting would, likewise, be growing. But the computing muscle and stamina backing digital advertising is bulking up, as well. Larger tech stacks, lower latency, and greater overall industry know-how are all helping to keep the tremendous potential for discrepancy somewhat at bay. This is a trend I think we all hope persists into 2012."
Manu Warikoo, SVP of Solutions, Operative
"Discrepancies in ad delivery reporting are a persistent problem that impacts all publishers in the United States today. Publishers are spending a lot of time and money trying to reconcile the data and are looking for easier, simpler ways to address the problem.
We see several trends that indicate this is still a major challenge for publishers. For example, while the percentage of total line items billed as third party is roughly the same from 2010 to 2011, the percentage of contracted spend that this represents has significantly increased YOY. What this suggests is that larger agencies are influencing publishers to bill on third party ad servers.
Publishers of all sizes are affected by these billing terms with many billing well more than half of their revenue against third party numbers. Some publishers however, appear to have a reduced impact from the issue by billing exclusively on primary delivery. So while it seems that there some holdouts, we do see more aggressive movement in the US market towards billing off of third party numbers. This is less of an issue in the UK because most publishers there are billing on primary ad server data.
Many publishers are automatically padding their impression goals on their primary ad server to account for the discrepancies. This can be anywhere from 5%-20% depending on the third party ad server.
To help alleviate some of the burden and additional overhead/resources required to reconcile third party discrepancies, we are seeing a lot of demand for automated solutions, especially ones that integrate with an order management system. The whole reconciliation process requires a tremendous amount of manual time and effort, which can impact a publisher's profit margins and time-to-market for new initiatives."

Interestingly, no one mentioned the lack of API access to near-real-time reporting from the agency ad servers. While i understand there may be valid business reasons for not making these generally available, it is a disservice to both advertisers and publishers to not provide what most platform providers would consider a 'basic' API service.
Currently, most automated solutions involve html parsers (page scrapers) or e-mail ingestion. While these are not complicated to build, they are very limiting for automation purposes (stability, time delays, etc). In the end, this means more resources are required to do basic functions like deliver, report and invoice a campaign. Which ultimately means higher costs to all parties involved.
In the end, until the agencies push for better features from their platform providers, it seems we are stuck with the status quo. I like Jay Wright's suggestion that rates cards be adjusted by agency ad server. Maybe this could be the catalyst to better integrations.
So long as ad servers embed redirects as ad calls, there will always be some discrepancies. Sadly, this is an inefficient process the entire industry is based. With every redirect there is a loss of impressions from latency and other issues.
The rule of thumb I've seen most common is to accept 10% as "ok". Anything more needs to be reconciled, but as some point out, this is not very common.
A bigger question is to revisit the need for advertiser's to use a third party ad server or using multiple ad servers. The basic DFA and Atlas third party servers have not evolved much since they were created in '90s (yes, about 15 years ago - eons in the online world). As a result, specialty servers, measurement tools and trackers have sprouted up. Now ever ad call includes all these.
Tagging and ad server operations are grossly inefficient and need to be streamlined with some tech.
Think about it - shouldn't there really be one solution, one tag, that can accomplish all or most of these for an advertiser? Why do I need to install a third party tag to verify where my ad ran - isn't that a core value of a third party ad server - verification? API is a great start - if you integrate servers you don't need more tags.
It seems like no one is talking about the elephant in the room. Discrepancies between DFA/P and most ad servers (MediaMind, PointRoll) is not a big deal. Atlas always seems to be the one with huge discrep numbers. If those few agencies still using Atlas moved to another alternative I don't think we'd even need to have this conversation.
Discrepancies occur at every level, but it takes a certain amount of intelligence from third party ad servers to understand what a duplication of events looks like so it can properly de-dupe it. This requires an incredibly robust infrastructure that reduces latency across sites, tags, the server itself and the data management platform.
To say 10% is "ok" is bad if you spend a lot. 10% of a million dollars in ads is $100k. It's worth it to invest in a quality third-party ad server that actually can reconcile duplicate events on the fly rather than rely on spreadsheet kung fu to get it done.
I've been railing against discrepancies and writing about how to manage them for years now - it really is the infrastructure skeleton in the closet for this industry, and typically dealt with in a really lazy manner.
The fact of the matter is, the publisher is the one that gets stuck holding the bill, no matter what the IAB T&Cs say, so not many ad servers have an incentive to do much about it - we've all just come to accept them as a cost of doing business. Change is likely not in the works unless as Jay suggests, publishers price their inventory based on an advertiser's 3rd party and impose a cost on their clients, which I'd love to see, but doubt is all that realistic.
The practical reality is discrepancies are a management problem, how do you efficiently and reliably identify them in advance, and manage against their impact to revenue, while minimizing the opportunity cost they have on your inventory. It's a problem worth looking at if you're a large site - if you look at how much inventory you need to clear your discrepancies vs. what you actually use to clear them and add that to your lost revenue for unexpectedly large issues, I bet it would shock most people in the sales organization.
As a starting point, people should look at Mike's company if they aren't already clients - it's a pretty great solution toward getting a handle on the discrep problem, measuring them, and putting a process around dealing with them.
I see that everyone agrees that the pub side could use some help as far as leveling the information field – so to speak.
As of now, a large set of tools are developed from the point of interest of the marketer/advertiser…look at something as a simple analytic metric: unique impression..that tells a marketer that one impression is served to a different audience member than another unique impression..which allows them to work across publishers to gain reach by capping impressions to a specific/unique audience member….increasing value.
..the PUB side needs a unique publisher metric, that shows which portion of their audience doesn't visit any other site and is able to price that impression accordingly. Is anyone aware of a company that does that outside of the basic unique audience data provided by ComScore?
Stop trying to make serving the ad more "efficient" and "centralized" and help us to understand what the space is worth in the first place. And by understand, I mean give us information and we'll give you a price, don't force us into a open exchange and pit us against each other.
If this keeps up, I see a "publisher union" forming rather quickly.

Page 2: rnn52d00
0 THE MERIT STORY 0 Until now, cigarette manufacturers tried to make a good-tasting, low tar cigarette by designing special filters that would somehow filter.out "tar" but not taste. The results were only partially successful, because the'low tar cigarettes that were developed were generally low in taste and consumer acceptance. While this was going on, Philip Morris scientists learned how to isolate and identify individual smoke components by pioneering in the fields of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Using these combined techniques, key flavor ingredients were identified and reformulated to introduce extraordinary flavor into cigarettes without the usual increase in "tar" This new discovery is called `Enriched Flavor'n" and it was fundamental in = developing the MERIT cigarette. . At only 9 mg. "tar" per cigarette, MERIT is lower than 98 0 of all cigarettes sold today-both menthol and non-menthol. Yet the tests described in this booklet show that MERIT Regular was perceived by a majority of regular filter smokers to have more taste than the leading low tar brands tested, even those delivering up to 60% more "tar;" and that MERIT Menthol was judged by menthol filter smokers to have as much or more taste than the leading low tar menthol brands, even those delivering up to 60 o more "tar:" Warning The Sureeun Gen=_ral Has DeterrrJned ThatCieerene Smokin9 Is Dangerous toYour Yealth.

BACKGROUND TO THE TESTS Philip Morris Incorporated, like most other manufacturers of consumer - products, conducts an extensive testing program before marketing a new product. When the 'Enriched Flavor' process was developed, preliminary testing indicated that MERIT had a much better taste than that normally associated with a cigarette so low in "tar." Philip Morris set out to verify these preliminary results with the most extensivetonsumer testing program it has ever undertaken, to ascertain whether MERIT would be perceived. by a large number of smokers of all types of cigarettes as having as much or more taste than cigarettes delivering significantly more "tar:" To ensure the objectivity of the research, Philip Morris retained the independent marketing counseling firm of Canter, Achenbaum, Heekin _ Inc. Mr. Alvin A. Achenbaum, a well-known authority in the marketing research field, assisted in developing and interpreting the tests in strict accordance with accepted scientific research principles and practices. ~ The opinion of the research program by Mr. Achenbaum's firm can be found at the end of this booklet. The purpose of this booklet is to describe the tests, and their results, in detail. The following sections list the brands.tested against MERIT explain how and why they were chosen, detail how the tests were conducted and give the test results against each of the brands. 0

The median "tar" delivery of the cigarette brands sold in the United States today is approximately 17 to 18 mg. per cigarette. (Actually, "tar" refers to the dry particulate matter in cigarette smoke and has nothing to do with the common meaning of the urord tar.) Non-filter cigarettes have the highest "tar'r content, often delivering in the high 20's or even over 30 mg. per cigarette. The low tar segment of the cigarette industry is generally considered rto consist of brands that deliver 15 mg., or less, of `rtar" per cigarette. This is approximately the lower third of the more than 140 varieties of cigarettes available to the American public. The five best-selling regular and the five best-selling menthol cigarettes in the low tar category (all of which, like MERIT, are king size) deliver between 1I and 15 mg. of "tar" per cigarette; or between 20 o and 60 0 more "tar" than MERIT In the aggregate, they accounted for approximately 69% of all low tar non-menthol cigarettes and 75% of all low tar menthol cigarettes sold in the United States during the first six months of 1975?

The tests were conducted by the American Institute of Consumer niort, an inc3ependent private testing organization. Philip Morris supplied the cigarettes and constructed the test questionnaires and methodology, with the assistance of Mr. Achenbaum. In each of the tests, ~ three packs of MERIT and three packs of the other brand «ere mailed to a panel of 500 smokers (an aggregate of 5000 smokers) who had previously indicated that their regular brand was a king size filter cigarette -menthol in the case of the menthol tests and non-menthol in the non-menthol'tests. Each panel of 500 was constructed in such a way as to be representative of all consumers smoking the appropriate (regular or menthol) type of king ~ size cigarette with respect to sex, current brand, and geographic area, with the exception that no cigarettes were mailed to Alaska, Hawaii, an8 the twelve states where mail testing of this rype is restricted by law. In each test, MERIT cigarettes and the other brand were packaged in plain white paper packs identified only by code letters and numbers. To avoid bias due to code identification, one half of the MERIT cigarettes were identified with one code (e.g., T-79), and tested against the other', brands identified with a second code (e.g., F-26). The other half of the panelists received the two brands with the code identifications reversed. In addition, one half of the panelists in each test were instructed to srr_ioke MERIT first and the other half to smoke MERIT second. The cigarettes were "masked" so that the brand name could not be identified except in several cases where, because the name extended so far down the cigarette rod, it could not be masked without possibly affecting the smoking characteristics of the cigarette. In order to ensure that no bias resulted when panelists could identify one brand, one of the cigarettes was tested against MERIT both "masked" and identified. The results showed that this did not make a difference. All panelists were instructed not to smoke any other cigarettes during the test period- Also, to ensure that each panelist was able.to recall his or her initial opinion of the cigarettes, a questionnaire was sent with the cigarettes on which to note reactions to each of the test cigarettes as the panelist completed smoking each of the sets. Beginning about ten days after the samples were mailed, the American . Institute of Consumer Opinion attempted to telephone each person on ! the panel in order to conduct a detailed interview to establish preferences benveen the test cigarettes. Of the 5000 smokers to whom cigarettes were mailed in these tests, 1430 either had no chance to participate in the test (e.g., never received cigarettes, moved, etc.) or were not qualified to be included in the results by virtue of having switched to a brand outside of MERIT's target segment (e.g., switched to a non-filtered or 100 mm 46 cigarette).

CEZ AS (CEZ) rose for a fourth day to its longest stretch of gains in 2 1/2 months as Banco Espirito Santo SA (BES) recommended buying the shares of the biggest Czech utility.
The stock jumped 1.8 percent to 618.90 koruna by 10:12 a.m. in Prague, the highest intraday level since Feb. 19. CEZ fell 13 percent this year through Feb. 28 to its lowest level since October 2008 as power prices tumbled.
Espirito Santo upgraded the stock to buy from sell today in a report from Warsaw-based analyst Maciej Hebda, naming CEZ its top pick among utilities in emerging Europe. While electricity for next-year delivery in Germany, where CEZ exports part of its output, slid to a record-low 40.40 euros on Jan. 31 and traded at 41.30 euros today, the company said on Feb. 28 it had presold more than a half of its 2014 output at 49.50 euros to 50 euros.
"The market overreacted to the recent German power-price decline" and "overlooked the positive impact of hedging on achieved prices," Hebda said in the research note. The stock's valuation is "attractive given higher expected dividend yield versus Polish utilities," he said.
Espirito increased its "fair value" price estimate for CEZ shares to 745 koruna from 683 koruna in the report.

Up for Tax Season
Run an Efficient Practice While Ensuring Success
Cyndi McDermott
tax-return preparation and submission follows a similar
cyclical workflow each year. As a result, preparers can
prepare for the process far in advance. Doing so can lead
to a more proactively managed approach when tackling the
demands and challenges of the tax season's heavy workload.
important part of planning ahead is ensuring that staff
is continuously educated on process changes in a timely
fashion. This lead time is important in providing staff
at all levels with the right information, while allowing
ample time so they may overcome any learning curve associated
with process adjustments. Maintaining this open dialogue
with employees will ensure a well-organized and efficient
tax season.
planning tips include the following:
Corporate tax work is often very detailed and complex, making
staff with direct experience even more essential. Although
it is only a portion of an employee's job description,
it is important for accounting and finance hiring managers
to consistently look for individuals with tax experience
when interviewing and selecting staff. This will ensure
that the organization is consistently staffed with the appropriate
manpower as tax season approaches each year.
managers should actively identify additional internal accounting
and finance staff who can pitch in on other activities to
relieve the burden during the busiest portions of tax season.
In doing so, be careful to ensure there are sufficient resources
focused on day-to-day objectives so that nothing falls through
the cracks. Set clear expectations among staff in planning
their workloads or any additional hours needed to complete
all required tax and regular work assignments. Using the
expertise of experienced employees is also a great way to
prepare newer staff before tax season.
tactics for managing staff include the following:
Prior to tax season, corporate tax managers must assess
whether they have the skills and capacity in-house to manage
the process effectively. Oftentimes managers view temporary
staff as a solution for low-level administrative tasks,
but well-trained and experienced temporary resources are
also available, and they offer employers highly specialized
season presents a short-term need for increased support,
and temporary staff can be a great resource to help manage
this crunch time successfully. Furthermore, temporary employees
often do not receive the same benefits and compensation
as full-timers, thereby presenting a cost-effective approach
to solving the short-term need for additional resources.
Retired corporate tax professionals and top accounting students
are great examples of temporary staff who can increase a
company's diversity while adding valuable intellectual
capital and experience to the business.
temporary staff also provides a test period whereby an employer
can evaluate the performance of a worker before deciding
whether to hire the temporary staff member full time. If
all goes well during tax season, employers can make a well-informed
hiring decision when open positions become available. This
provides more valuable performance information than can
be obtained during a half-hour job interview or brief phone
conversation with professional references.
Regulatory Environment
well-informed and -prepared tax professionals is especially
helpful in ensuring that a firm has a staff that is knowledgeable
and up to speed on the constantly changing tax code. Chief
among recent regulatory changes are the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
(SOX)—particularly section 404, regarding internal
controls—and the IRS's new electronic-filing
requirements for corporate tax returns.
issues have forced tax staff to overhaul their processes
to ensure compliance with these new regulations. This can
be an arduous task for tax managers, often resulting in
increased time, staff, and money spent making the appropriate
adjustments to remain compliant. These challenges become
particularly apparent during tax season, making it necessary
for companies to stay above the fray by being well informed
about changes and prepared to overcome these hurdles as
early as possible.
the impact of SOX and other financial accountability requirements,
accounting staff is often needed to manage day-to-day processes
aimed at maintaining internal controls or producing detailed
reporting. This leaves staff little time to assist during
tax season. When this happens, employers can look outside
the company for solutions. As such, outsourcing can be a
viable option to consider as part of a plan for executing
a successful tax season.
tax-return preparation lets staff focus on providing the
more valuable services necessary to meet regulatory and
other business obligations. It is important, however, to
appropriately assess internal capabilities before looking
outside the organization. If process efficiencies, including
the use of new software or other technologies, can be initiated
to manage tax season internally, it might be preferable
to try these solutions before turning to outsourcing.

Holy Redeemer Health Systems workers can hear the sound of energy savings when they park their cars in the employee garage off Huntingdon Pike in the Meadowbrook section of Lower Moreland.
The city's two largest utilities are offering residents assessments of their homes' energy use. Residents can schedule these inspections with either the Philadelphia Gas Works or PECO. The utilities will send employees to look over their homes, searching for drafts and inefficient equipment.
Your inner cynic can take a breath.
PECO customers are cautioned to be on the lookout for a scam that can swindle many out of their hard earned cash.
A scam that involves fooling PECO customers into paying con artists, not the utility, for supposedly outstanding electric bills seems to be a hustle that gets new vigor as time passes.
It's all nonsense, so don't fall for it.
There have been 54 attempts at conning PECO's customers in Philly and its Pennsylvania suburbs. Don't fall for it.
Scams never die. They just fade away for a while — but just a while.
Spanish-speaking con man threatens to cut PECO electric service if he isn't paid.
There's no place like home — but did it belong to a Burholme couple or a squatter?
The health system's new 2-megawatt system will cut electricity purchases, but it will use 95,000 million cubic feet of natural gas each year to produce electric power for the hospital's myriad uses, Armstrong said.
PECO launched a suite of energy efficiency and demand response programs in 2009, called PECO Smart Ideas, to help its residential, business, government and nonprofit customers save energy and money, said Ben Armstrong, a PECO spokesman.

SAN ANTONIO – No. 24 Augustana committed a season-high 32 turnovers but built a 24-point lead and held on for victory to beat previously undefeated and top-ranked Clayton State 81-68 in the first round of the Elite Eight. The Vikings continue their historic run by pushing their record to 28-6 while the Lakers' season comes to a close with their first loss to finish the year 32-1.
The Lakers were ranked third in the country with a plus-6.6 turnover margin and forcing 23.8 per game. The Vikings were forced to handle the full-court pressure from the CSU guards, but when they broke the press, easy baskets were often the reward.
Augustana committed 16 turnovers each half but shot 52.8 percent from the field to counteract the tough Viking defense. Five Vikings scored in double figures and hit at least one 3-pointer each – Augustana shot 58.8 percent from behind the arc.
Shaunteva Ashley and Emily Schulte, sure-handed guards who were in the top-five of the NSIC in assist-to-turnover ratio at the end of the conference season, committed a combined 22 turnovers, but also racked up 28 points and dished out 12 assists.
Ashley led the Viking with 17 points, including a pair of clutch free throws as the Viking lead dwindled to single digits late in the game. Schulte hit three 3-pointers and white shooting 4-9 from the field.
Alex Feeney played all 20 minutes of the second half after scoring nine points in the first stanza and finished with 14. Faith Tinklenberg tallied 15 points and eight rebounds, tied for the team-high with Andrea Whitney.
Cami Koehn's two threes gave the Vikings a spark off the bench and she finished with 10 points, including a perfect 4-4 from the line. As expected the Vikings reserves were outscored by Clayton State, led by All-America Drameka Griggs who finished with a game-high 22 points.
The Vikings looked shaky from the start and were in a hole, 4-0, before Feeney scored Augustana's first points of the Elite Eight. Playing behind for a large margin of the first half, but eventually started to find gaps in the press and took their first lead on a Koehn 3-pointer, taking a 17-15 edge.
Augustana and Clayton State then traded baskets and CSU led 22-21 with five minutes remaining, but the Vikings embarked on a 9-0 run to give them a lead entering the half. Whitney hit a layup off an Ashley assist and Tinklenberg converted her two free throws for a three-point lead.
Ashley then hit a 3-pointer and Feeney drilled a 12-foot jumper to give the Vikings an eight-point lead, forcing CSU head coach Dennis Cox to take a timeout. The Lakers responded by hitting a three, but Koehn's free throws with 31 seconds left brought the score to 32-25 in favor of Augustana at intermission.
To open the second half, the Vikings hit six of their first seven shots over a five-minute span, including three 3-pointers, two from Schulte. The Viking lead after their 16-4 run reached 48-29, but it would continue to grow.
Ashley and Koehn hit consecutive 3-pointers after Griggs and Bena Hanyard provided a brief answer. The largest lead the Vikings owned was 24 points when Andrea Whitney hit a layup with 7:34 and the game seemed in hand, but the Clayton State pressure began to affect the Vikings more.
The Lakers trapped as often as they could and forced eight turnovers over the next five minutes and the Viking lead had dwindled to seven points after Hanyard's layup and free throw with two minutes left in the game.
Lydia Nelson hit a breakaway layup to get the lead back to nine, 73-64, with 1:20 left in the game. Ashley answered with two free throws after a CSU layup and Tinklenberg followed suit with two makes of her own and a fast break layup to get the lead back to double digits. Ashley closed the scoring out with two more free throws, giving the Vikings their final lead, 81-68, before the clock hit zeroes.
The Vikings will now face the winner of Colorado Mesa (31-1) and Dowling (28-3) at 6 p.m. CDT tomorrow.
