Data strategies for a complex marketing funnel
If some pundits are to be believed, programmatic real-time bidding (RTB) has sorted out online marketing once and for all. Just set the controls for click, buy, retarget, etc., select your bid price, press "go", and that's it.
Adrian Lacey: managing director at Crimtan
But hold on – has years of head scratching by dedicated marketing folk been reduced to a few algorithms and a black box? Well, an increasing number of people are waking up to the fact that no marketing plan can be distilled down to just one strategy.
Different marketing objectives – from raising brand awareness at the top of the funnel, through to finding new, in-market users and driving them to the site, and the intelligent retargeting of site visitors – all require different programmatic RTB approaches, tactics and strategies.
And, guess what – some companies perform better at achieving some marketing goals than others. Even if you take just one horizontal slice of the funnel, there are potentially many thinner slices you need to assess and, to make matters worse, many different vertical strategies exist to address every horizontal marketing goal.
All of which means that it's back to the drawing board and time to dust off all those old-fashioned marketing theories again.
That's not to say that programmatic RTB doesn't play its part – far from it. Without a doubt, the arrival of programmatic advertising and RTB has introduced massive efficiencies and delivered a huge performance boost to many campaigns. It's just that it needs to be used intelligently to provide the best possible results. So how do marketers achieve this?
Agencies predominantly use RTB for retargeting because of the perceived high ROI it can achieve. I use the word perceived because measuring ROI is much harder than it seems, as many users would have converted anyway. Advertisers who rely too heavily on retargeting waste valuable budget that could be spent attracting new customers and, indeed, it may annoy customers that are over-messaged in this way and put them off the brand.
The trick is to look at incremental sales, controlled frequency of messaging and knowing when to stop. Retargeting done well is a great tool but great care must be taken not to overindulge because it seems easy to do and the results look great.
Looking further up the funnel, prospecting for new customers and driving them to your site is essential, but prospecting is fraught with bad practice. It's very tempting to take a spray-and-pray approach and push out lots of cheap impressions in the hope that a relevant user will see one and convert. Instead, good practice for prospecting is to identify users who are actually in-market for the advertiser's product and message them at the right time.
This can be done through the correct use of data and best practice optimisation.
Contextual targeting, audience targeting and lookalike targeting are potentially valid strategies, but few providers use them effectively. There is really no short cut, so marketers need to test a variety of providers and strategies to establish what works best for them. Differences in data, technology, market knowledge and trading expertise make a huge difference in performance.
For branding right at the top of the funnel, the trick is not to find users who are in-market, but instead to find those that fit the advertiser's typical purchaser profile, whatever stage of the buying cycle they are in. This could be achieved through site-specific buys, audience targeting or even lookalike profiling.
Finally, we need to know what to do once a user has converted. One option is to stop messaging. However, it may be more effective to offer a cross-sell or up-sell the message, which could develop over time into a more robust customer communication strategy.
So just when you thought RTB had simplified your digital marketing plan and you could get your preferred programmatic supplier to do the lot, it's back to testing one supplier against the other.
Only then can you sit back and know that you are executing the best strategies at all points in the funnel to deliver the best possible ROI for your marketing budget.

In case you missed it, last night around 8 PM, the House and Senate released a budget deal that was part omnibus (various appropriations bills tacked together) and part continuing resolution (a temporary funding bill).
This legislation is over 1,600 pages long, and the deadline to pass funding for the government is tomorrow. The idea that members of Congress could possibly have time to read carefully, much less review this legislation in any depth, is of course absurd. And there are other serious concerns.
This bill is just over $1 trillion, and like the Ryan-Murray agreement that preceded it, essentially pays lip service to the Budget Control Act (BCA) by staying under its basic levels, while Congress has all along ignored the sequester, the BCA's most important consequence. Claiming to follow the BCA while ignoring the sequester is questionable, to say the least.
There are some serious concerns with the specifics as well.
- $64 billion more to the Overseas Contingency Operations budget, with, as usual, little explanation or oversight.
- $5.4 billion in emergency funding for the Ebola outbreak.
- $849 million to refuel and overhaul the George Washington aircraft carrier, which the military itself wanted to retire.
And so on…
We expect to find far more examples as we and other watchdog organizations comb through this massive legislation.
But it's worth noting that it's not all bad news. There are some small reductions within the bill, such as $345.6 million cut "and extensive oversight requirements" for the Internal Revenue Service.
And notably, the bill prohibits "risk corridors" within the Affordable Care Act, which is an issue we've been writing about and lobbying on behind the scenes for over a year. This provision prevents what would basically amount to a taxpayer bailout, something we at the Coalition have fought against for some time.
Overall, the bill, of course, still spends far too much. While it pays lip service to the BCA, ignoring the sequester is a mistake, as is neglecting opportunities for much-needed budget trimming. Frankly, though, things could have been a lot worse! And several key portions do make necessary reforms.
In a larger sense, we know that fiddling around with discretionary spending at the last minute will never solve our budget woes. Let's celebrate small victories with even more determination to keep pushing for the type of wide-scale reform so desperately needed.

Mired in poverty, the student Raskolnikov nevertheless thinks well of himself. Of his pawnbroker he takes a different view, and in deciding to do away with her he sets in motion his own tragic downfall. Dostoyevsky's penetrating novel of an intellectual whose moral compass goes haywire, and the detective who hunts him down for his terrible crime, is a stunning psychological portrait, a thriller and a profound meditation on guilt and retribution.

As October is coming to an end we wanted to share with all of our Upward Bound followers the great work that our TRIO seniors did this month. This past week has been "Free College Application Week" and our students have worked hard to apply to all the colleges and universities they are interested in- especially taking advantage of the free applications available at various Minnesota schools. Here is the impressive breakdown:
Total Number of seniors in Upward Bound: 34
Total number of Applications: 91

The staff in the Upward Bound office is so excited to see where all of our seniors will end up and we applaud them for working hard this month to get all of their college applications taken care of. As you can see from the list of colleges above, we will potentially have students all over the state and even the country! It can be a scary and overwhelming for seniors to think about moving far away from home and starting a whole new chapter of their lives but we are confident that all of our seniors will be successful!
As parents and students read this list we hope that the college conversations continue beyond College Knowledge Month, after all, the application is only the first step of the college adventure! Our seniors will spend the next few weeks wrapping up the loose ends on their applications (getting letters of recommendation completed, having transcripts sent to each college) and it is our goal for all of our seniors to be completely done with applications by Thanksgiving break. The next step in the process is often the most difficult- the waiting game! Students will start to hear back about college acceptance in late December/January and then we will be getting started on filling out the FAFSA to determine financial aid qualifications for our students.
Seniors need to keep in mind as well that now is the perfect time to start looking at scholarship opportunities within their high school, community and within the state. Our November Saturday Session (November 22nd) will be a great opportunity for all of our students to learn all about scholarships and have time to start applying to a few. Remember that on our D2L page we have a variety of resources for scholarship information- check it out!

£500,000 boost for Morecambe Bay transformation bid
Last updated at 16:53, Monday, 11 February 2013
A GRANT of £500,000 has been secured to develop plans to attract tourists to Morecambe Bay.
The cash, from the government's Coastal Communities Fund, will enable The Morecambe Bay Partnership to invest in bay-wide tourism projects.
Plans include a 200km cycleway around the edge of the bay, alongside wildlife and archaeological projects, taking in locations in Walney and Birkrigg stone circle near Ulverston.
Susannah Bleakley, from the Morecambe Bay Partnership, said: "This is great news for the Bay area. We hope this will bring an economic boost to the whole area, support over 260 tourism-related jobs and safeguard many thousands more.
"The funding will be used to connect and sign a 200Km 'Bay Cycle Way', deliver events, develop trails and apps to improve information for visitors, and to provide more than 300 training places to support tourism businesses.
"Our Scheme is called '700 Days to transform the Bay' – the money is time-limited, we have just two years to deliver"
It is hoped the project will attract international tourism to Walney's military heritage which includes Fort Walney, practice trenches, a concrete coastal searchlight emplacement and a rifle range.
The cash could also be used to buy all-terrain vehicles so that disabled people can explore Walney, and to fund cultural heritage ideas, including an 'adopt a monument' project to help conserve the prehistoric Birkrigg stone circle.
Cllr Tony Markley, Cumbria County Council cabinet member for economy and highways, said: "The visitor economy is one of Cumbria's key sectors with potential for sustainable growth.
"We are delighted to see 700 Days go ahead – this imaginative scheme will help to open up the Bay area, not least through the development of a Bay Cycle Route, and also provide visitors with more information and a greater overall visitor experience."
The scheme could deliver a three per cent uplift in tourism spend and employment by end of 2016.
This works out at an increase in tourism revenue of £15m, which equates to 268 new indirect jobs around the Bay with a further 8,200 jobs safeguarded.

"You act like such a...... human at times. It's kinda cute."
"You six!" Sandra yelled. "You know S-I, right? I'd like to see her."
"Uh, okay..?" The Steeles bent down to let her on. Melissa and Petra held her close as the giant took off.
Asilla laughed. "I think I deserve a long sleep for all that." she said.
The Gallade Merge was unsure how to react to her observation. He warped the two back to Asilla's room without noticing the departure of Sandra and the Steeles. "Okay, goodnight."
"Good night." Asilla said as she climbed into bed and slept.
Ozias practically dropped into his bed like a rock.
OOC: Morning! Oh, and Milena sleeps nude.
Milena was the first to wake up. She threw on her clothes and headed downstairs, only to find that the kitchen was completely devoid of food.
Lynn walked down having woken early and thought she would eat something only to find Milena and no food. "What happened to it all?"
Ozias and Sophia came down the stairs. "Urgh. Rhea!" Ozias shouted upon finding that the cupboards were barren.
"I only took half of it!" Rhea called from upstairs.
"Regardless, we may need to take a little trip..." Milena muttered.
Asilla woke up. "Morning guys. Morning sociopath who needs to learn my name is Asilla."
"I'll go to the store just give me a list. I'll be fast with teleport," Knight said coming down.
"No teleporting." Milena groaned. "I'll go. Knight, Sophia, accompany me."
"Okay," Sophia smiled, "She's right, Teleport could result in some panicking humans."
"Well," Ozias announced to the room, "Imma go practice."

Alnylam Announces New RNAi Therapeutic Program For The Treatment Of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Infection And Reports An Up To 2.3 Log10 Reduction Of HBV Surface Antigen (HBsAg) In Chronically Infected Chimpanzees
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:ALNY), a leading RNAi therapeutics company, announced today that it has named a new program to its pipeline: ALN-HBV for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The new ALN-HBV program derives from the company's January 2014 acquisition of Merck's RNAi assets, including their Sirna Therapeutics subsidiary. HBV infection afflicts 400 million people worldwide, with 1 to 2 million people in the U.S., and is a leading cause of liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. Despite the use of nucleoside analog inhibitors of viral DNA synthesis and interferon therapies, less than 10% of patients achieve a cure 1. Reduction in HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) levels of over 0.5 log10 is the single best predictor of immunologic cure 2. An RNAi therapeutic targeting the HBV genome could have the potential to achieve a "functional cure" by effectively decreasing expression of tolerogenic HBsAg, in addition to inhibiting all steps of the HBV life cycle. In the most comprehensive proof-of-concept pre-clinical study results presented to date with an RNAi therapeutic for the treatment of HBV, Alnylam reported significant, multi-log reductions in HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) and HBV viral titers, and showed evidence for an immune-mediated therapeutic effect in chronically infected chimpanzees.
"Alnylam's new ALN-HBV program is a mature, pre-clinical asset acquired through the company's acquisition of Sirna from Merck. We are very encouraged by the data we are presenting for the first time today, which we believe constitute the most robust proof-of-concept pre-clinical data to date with an RNAi therapeutic for the treatment of HBV," said Laura Sepp-Lorenzino, Ph.D., Vice President, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Alnylam, and Project Leader of the ALN-HBV program. "We believe our ALN-HBV RNAi therapeutic represents a powerful mechanism for inhibiting all steps of the HBV life cycle: replication, assembly, secretion of virus, and secretion of sub-viral antigens. The Development Candidate for our ALN-HBV program will employ our Enhanced Stabilization Chemistry (ESC)-GalNAc-conjugate technology, enabling subcutaneous dose administration with improved potency and durability, and a wide therapeutic index. We believe that an ESC-GalNAc conjugate can emerge as the best-in-class approach for RNA therapeutics targeting HBV, and we expect to name our ALN-HBV Development Candidate by the end of this year and file an IND or IND equivalent around the end of 2015."

Isn't there anything to do besides getting killed in this game instantly? I am not a Hunger Games fan but eventually, the character I control dies every time. If you have that health bar, how come the character dies in one hit. One hit that would obviously end the game and it would be annoying any time you play this. Everything is okay in this game but eventually I would rather say that this obviously need some improvement, might I say the first thing that you would need to improve is putting a difficulty level on it or anything. How about you also put in a Game Over sign whenever you know that your character is dead, not a sign that says District 12 because I didn't know what happened during the Hunger Games. At least you guys said that this was an April Fools joke when this was released so at least this made sense eventually.

Pop music icon Cher stopped by this morning's TODAY on NBC and performed "I Hope You Find It," a power ballad from her new album, "Closer to the Truth" as well as her hit singles 'Woman's World' and 'Believe.' Check out photos from the live performances below!
Cher made a grand entrance onto Rockefeller Plaza riding on the back of a New York Police Department motorcycle with escorts on either side of her. (see clip below!)The 67-year-old spoke about the hardships of touring, but said it was all worth it to please her fans.
"The road is horrible, but the concerts are great," she told TODAY's Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie. "I understand why guys in bands tear up hotel rooms and throw TVs out the windows, because it's a very lonely place. The only time you have fun is at the concerts."
Over the weekend, Cher admitted she had been fighting a case of laryngitis. In a tweet, she compared losing her voice to "jumping out of a plane, in a parachute your mom packed!!! You just pray it opens."

I almost forgot about this one despite having ridden by it hundreds of times. It is an old bulldozer that looks like it has been there for 40 years. Someone recently started taking parts off so my guess is it is in the process of being scrapped. Good luck to whoever is trying to carry this out of the woods (located in southeastern Massachusetts).

QOTW....Never buy used......
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 06-29-2010 - 12:40pm
Duh, just noticed title of my post says "never buy used". Totally contradicts the article!!! That should be "NEVER BUY NEW"!!! Makes a totally new question, doesn't it??? Good grief!
Interesting article about 21 Things You Should Never Buy New. What do you think? Somethings you hear about a lot (cars), but a couple were a surprise to me (jewelry). Are there things you'd just rather buy new? Or do you go for used most of the time on the things on the list?
I'll usually look for a used option on most things 1st. Of the things we use on the list, most we have bought used at one time or another. But if a used option is not available, we don't hesitate to buy new. We just research and watch for the best price.
The one thing that we knew we wanted new was our travel trailer. We did look around at used ones, but decided we didn't want to inherit some hidden problem. So we bought that new. But I feel that is a like getting a new car--if you're planning on keeping it for several years, which we are, the depreciation factor is irrelevant.
|Tue, 06-29-2010 - 4:04pm
Jill- I was thinking the same thing!
Never buy used Mattresses!
IF YOU ARE DISTRESSED BY ANYTHING EXTERNAL, THE PAIN IS NOT DUE TO THE THING ITSELF, BUT TO YOUR ESTIMATE OF IT. AND THIS YOU HAVE THE POWER TO REVOKE AT ANY MOMENT --Marcus Aurelius
Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.

I agree with the cleats. I've been able to get both my boys cleats or soccer shoes from garage sales for all but one year. I think the most I spent on a pair of garage sale cleats was $2 (and those were brand new!).

Hi! I'm an old time poster on Shoestring Budgeting who never quite found my way over here. Hello!
Like other posters, I would never buy a mattress used. Yuck. But also wanted to add to the list child car safety seats as well as bike helmets. One impact can weaken these items and there is no way of knowing the history when you buy it used.

I keep trying to convince DH to buy books, video games, etc. used off ebay or amazon.com instead of at the store. Sometimes he listens; sometimes he doesn't. It just seems like such a waste - especially when he'll read/play with it for awhile and then it sits in a pile!
I have to admit that I've bought a used bathing suit (from the consignment store). I just wash it before wearing it. Is it really that bad? I've also bought used shoes though (for both me and DD).
|Tue, 06-29-2010 - 7:56pm
Great additions to the list! I definitely agree w/the mattresses, car seats
|Tue, 06-29-2010 - 7:58pm
|Wed, 06-30-2010 - 9:26am
I agree with pretty much all of those. Although I did buy my wedding dress new, of course, my parents were paying for it so that made a difference!
I totally agree with buying books used, although we don't buy a whole lot of books. We use the library more. Especially for me. I don't generally read a book more than once. And we've found great deals at Play It Again Sports. We check there first before each sports season. And I am FOR SURE buying an older house next time. One that was built back when the builders actually cared and didn't rush through things just to get stuff done, didn't have inspectors in their back pockets, weren't robbing people blind... oh my, getting off my soapbox now.
Great article! I never really thought about stuff like gardening supplies, electronics.

…if the Thing that Used to Be Conservatism is really stupid enough to nominate this man. The bumper sticker will be coupled with other gems like "Newt is a victim." – Rush Limbaugh or "Everybody's had an angry ex-spouse." – Rush Limbaugh and some richly deserved derisive remark about the Family Values Party.
The fascinating thing about this past week is how starkly it highlights the amazing knack American conservatives (and particularly religious conservatives) have for backing dodgy frauds and shady characters–and then embracing the notion that opposition to or criticism of them can *only* be due to some liberal conspiracy. Gingrich played his audience like a fiddle in SC, turning his hypocritical high dudgeon about the press' interest in the disgusting treatment of his famil(ies) into some kind of orgasmic stimulation of the pleasure center in the audience.
It reminded me of nothing so much as this:
Sheer hatred of the media and the overwhelming wish fulfillment fantasy that all our problems are due to lefty reporters simply crushed rational thought and, like a college sophomore who has had too many beers, the GOP electorate somehow concluded that this man was attactive and suitable material for a long term commitment. If, upon sobering up, this crazy electorate continues to persuade itself of that delusion, it will get exactly what it deserves when he lead it to it Gotterdammerung this fall. Only God knoweth whether the Right will finally begin to repent of the hubris and folly that perpetually blames its own incredible lack of discernment on shadowy conspiracies and not on its own foolish embrace of folk heros who tell it what its itching ears want to hear.
That's a really vital question, because without a sane Right, there is nobody to oppose this odious man.

... called 'Graz'. By flash, It had cushioned seating outside and 5 computer tablets for diners to freely use. I had hoped to connect to free wifi but ended up using theirs. I wanted to find a Stelplatz which is a motorhome site but none existed within this area.

Schloss at Graz
Wednesday 28 May Schloss This morning we set to walk up the Schloss, the fortified area overlooking the town. It was raining so we popped into a church to have a little look around. A service was starting so we sat down and partook. A great organ and a singer led some of the hymns. Interesting hearing the hymns sung in German as they really are very syllabic, one note per syllable. ...
The town has a central old quarter
which is remarkably preserved. The Holy Roman Emperor had a
residence here at one stage so the cathedral and many palaces of the

Missy Mazzoli: Song from the Uproar

Time Out says
Posted: Wed Oct 31 2012
Not long after the sold-out, critically acclaimed run of her opera, Song from the Uproar, at the Kitchen last February, composer Missy Mazzoli hit Twitter with a gleeful proclamation: "Recording opera on the same console that Madonna used for Like a Virgin. My life is complete." It's fitting, then, that she's celebrating its release on New Amsterdam Records in a chic nightclub. Abigail Fischer, the riveting mezzo star of the show, performs selections with the NOW Ensemble, after an opening set by art-pop singer-songwriter Aaron Roche.

Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands is shifting focus away from electronics owing to intense competition and commoditization of electronic products. While the company will continue to focus on certain high-end electronic equipments, future growth for the company will be driven mainly by medical technologies.
The company is repositioning itself from an electronics-maker to a healthcare, lifestyle and technology company, said Gerard Kleisterlee, president and CEO, Royal Philips Electronics.
Over the past 5 years the company has spent about 5 billion euros (approx. U.S. $5.9 billion) on acquiring companies engaged in various facets of medical technologies. The company continues to look for alliances and inorganic growth opportunities to strengthen its position in the medical technologies. Currently, Philips is number two in medical diagnostic imaging worldwide.
Philips medical technologies segment has been growing at about 7 percent on a compounded annual basis and contributed over 20 percent to total sales.
Currently, it is the second largest business for the company. "Medical systems have been the fastest growing segment for the company and we expect similar growth in future too. We would like to grow by leading the market through innovations and better technology," said Kleisterlee.
Besides, the Asia Pacific region mainly driven by faster economic growth in China and India will be a key growth engine for the company. "Faster economic growth and demographic changes will mean more demand for healthcare in Asia," said Andreas Wente, CEO, Philips Medical Systems, Asian Pacific. "In about 5 years or so we would not like to be seen as consumer electronics company," he added.
Philips has been facing tough times with LG and Samsung sweeping the lower end of the market with rock bottom prices. Philips would, however, continue to maintain its presence in the high-end electronics segment.
At present, Philips is active in over 60 businesses, and with more than 115,000 registered patents, Philips is reportedly the global market leader for lighting, electric shavers and DVD recorders. It employs about 1,60,000 people in over 60 countries. (Business Standard)

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
President Michelle Obama?
WASHINGTON — As we consider the return of the House of Clinton, we may be witnessing the start of the House of Obama.
According to a survey in November, first lady Michelle Obama would beat incumbent Republican Mark Kirk, 51 per cent to 40 per cent, in a hypothetical matchup for senator from Illinois in 2016. The first lady has an approval rating of 60 per cent in the state.
Not that Kirk has anything to worry about. When asked last spring if she would ever run for president, Obama laughed and said, "Absolutely not." One reason might be to avoid stupid reporter tricks. Another might be that she has shown no disposition toward the dark arts other than to support — reluctantly at first, as she worried aloud about exposing her young daughters to Washington — her husband's chosen profession.
True, Obama is a lawyer like her Democratic predecessor in the White House, and like Hillary Clinton she doesn't stay home and bake cookies. She gave a rip-snorting speech at the Democratic convention in September. But she has stuck to traditional first lady activities. No health-care initiatives or cabinet meetings for her. She is planting a garden, slimming down children and helping military families.
The very question, however, shows just how dynastic politics have become. The British royal family, and the breathless response to the pregnancy of Kate Middleton, has nothing on Americans. We talk about the pernicious influence of money in politics. But when it comes to pre-emptively shutting out the competition, a family name may be more valuable than money.
Who is going to take a good look at Joe Schmoe from Delaware when state Attorney General Beau Biden decides to run for the Senate? We survived only one session without a Kennedy in Congress: Joe Kennedy III, the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy and the son of former Representative Joe Kennedy II, will take office in January.
Yet polls find the public largely indifferent to having the same family pass high office from one to another. If former Florida governor Jeb Bush weren't so sensible, and had his brother George W. not been such an extraordinarily bad president, Jeb would probably have run in 2008. Then we could have faced the prospect of a Clinton (Hillary) or a Bush (Jeb) succeeding a Bush (George W.) who'd succeeded a Clinton (Bill) who'd succeeded a Bush (George H.W.).
Obama (Barack) may be the only break we get from this dynastic do-si-do. In all likelihood, there is a Clinton or a Bush on the horizon. The 2016 campaign is frozen until Hillary announces her intentions, and Jeb's lock on everyone's attention is almost as strong. There are lots of governors and senators who should be on the short list for the presidency in 2016, but I'm afraid I can't quite remember their names right now.
We're used to sons and brothers entering politics more than wives. Hillary would be the first American to follow in the shoes of Imelda Marcos. And Jeb would make history as well, the second of two sons and the first brother to be elected president. The Bushes would be the first family to have three presidents.
Is all this evidence of a lack of imagination? Or the strength of good branding, in politics as elsewhere? Chelsea Clinton grew up in the White House, a searing experience that she seems to be over. She shunned public life at first, but she has gradually emerged as a TV reporter and a board member of her father's foundation and of the Clinton Global Initiative. She married the son of two former members of Congress.
And we are already talking about the fourth generation. On the Republican side, there's George P. Bush, son of Jeb, nephew of George, grandson of George H.W. and great-grandson of Prescott Bush, the senator from Connecticut who started this political dynasty in the 1950s. George P. grew up in Florida but went to college in Texas, where he has just filed papers to run for state office.
Hillary Clinton was unthinkable as a senator until the Monica Lewinsky scandal: She was generally an unpopular first lady until she stood by her man. As she basked in the thanks of a nation grateful for getting it through impeachment, her popularity shot up, and she left the White House a year early to run for senator from New York, a state she'd only visited as a tourist. Hillary may be the only woman in history to be rewarded for a sexual favour she did not dispense.
Of course, the Obama White House is not the Clinton White House, and Michelle Obama is not a likely candidate for office. Hillary Clinton is, however, and everything that helped her 12 years ago could hurt her four years from now. As a former senator and secretary of state, she is a global figure in her own right. No more reflected power, or pity, for her.
Now Secretary Clinton will go back to the future, with her international life disappearing and her domestic one returning as she moves to be home alone with Bill. There will be no more throwing back shots with reporters, dancing till the wee hours, letting herself go because she's a rock star. She will be in competition for attention with, and once again responsible for, the actions of her husband — as he will be with her.
The Big Dog brought her to the dance. She may not be able to live with him, but she can't win without him. That's the downside of a dynasty: As quickly as it can build you up, it can just as easily bring you down.

Following a slow start, the Philadelphia Flyers got a much-needed boost from a successful homestand. Their next challenge is keeping that momentum going on their longest road trip of the season. In the opener of a six-game trek, the Flyers will try to add to the streaking Toronto Maple Leafs' home woes and continue their dominance in the series Monday night. Philadelphia (5-6-1) went 3-0-1 on its homestand and bounced back from a shootout loss to Florida on Thursday with a 4-3 overtime victory against Carolina two days later. Danny Briere netted the winner, only his second goal of 2013, and Brayden Schenn had his first three-point game during the regular season. The Flyers have managed just 13 goals during a 1-5-0 start on the road - seven of those coming in a rout of Florida on Jan. 26. "It was good to get back on track and we'll enjoy it for a little bit, but there's a huge road trip coming up," defenseman Luke Schenn said. "We have to be a lot better on the road and we know i...
