Christmas Adverts of 2014
Tuesday, 23rd December 2014 at 2:52pm
Christmas adverts are a firmly established element of the festive season - here is our pick of this year's cohort.
Marks and Spencer's playful advert encourages its viewers to #FollowTheFairies and embrace the spirit of Christmas with random acts of kindness.
Sainsbury has partnered with the Royal British Legion to create a moving, emotive and controversial advert. Inspired by the 1914 Christmas truce on the front line, the advert works powerful imagery of unity into its festive message and in less than 24 hours the video scored 1.8million YouTube hits.
Finally, following Peter Pumpernickel on his magical journey of make believe, Harrod's 2014 video will only air in London cinemas and online, but not on the television. Famous for its January sale adverts, Harrod's advert helps situate the department store within the current Christmas climate the Pumpernickel mouse helps Father Christmas to illuminate London.

The report, by Give As You Live, shows that 64% of consumers will click links to a retail site in an email, compared to only 10% for links on social media messages.

Dogglebox: IPA tests adverts' effectiveness with dogs
Thursday, 11th December 2014 at 5:11pm
The IPA has devised a novel way of testing the effectiveness of Christmas 2014 adverts: Dogglebox.
Ellie, Paddy and Duffie, the IPA's canine testers, were exposed to a series of high profile television adverts. Their posture, eye position, yawns, barks and pants were scientifically analysed and measured to determine emotional engagement with the adverts.
Lorna Hawtin, Disruption Director at TBWA/Manchester said, "We looked quite hard for a segment that hadn't already seen a lot of adverts that are out there. We wanted to find a group of consumers that really reflected UK households."
The initial indicative test results showed that clips from John Lewis, Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's had the greatest impact.

Five web trends expected for 2015
Thursday, 11th December 2014 at 4:58pm
The list includes flat design, parallax scrolling and typography. Parallax scrolling, a technique originally used in 2D video games, was used to show depth by having the background move slower than the foreground.
Parallax scrolling is a brilliant way of creating a 3D effect by layering images, ideal for creating 3D timelines and showing products in 3D, a hot web trend predicted for 2015.
Other design features include a clean and simple layout with a greater emphasis on typography which is likely to play a much bigger role in future in setting the mood and tone of websites.

UK creative industry to be worth £100bn by 2018
Wednesday, 10th December 2014 at 11:57am

The industry includes advertising and marketing, architecture, and entertainment (which incorporates music, performing arts, film, and television).
Professor Anne Carlisle of Falmouth University said: "The UK creative industries are well established and admired on a global stage - the UK economy must continue to capitalise on this lead."

Photographer captures stunning light patterns in water
Tuesday, 9th December 2014 at 4:28pm
Stephen Orlando, an Ontario-based photographer, has transformed the repetitive motions of canoeists, kayakers and swimmers into gorgeous light paintings.
Attaching customisable LED lights to his subjects, Orlando used long exposure times in order to capture the movements across the water.
The strands represent individual strokes across time and space.
Stephen said "Using LED lights with custom colour patterns and long exposure photography, I'm able to tell the story of movement. This technique reveals beautiful light trails created by paths of familiar objects."

Account Manager Sarah Scott attends Eurobest
Tuesday, 9th December 2014 at 3:26pm
Sarah attended as a member of SheSays, which is an organisation that champions women in the industry, and helped to run talks at the festival in Helsinki.
Statistics show that women are still paid less than men to do the same job and an IPA study reveals that while almost 50% of people within the marketing industry are female, only 25% of people at executive and board level are women.
Sarah said: "It was a really exciting opportunity for SheSays to be part of Eurobest; the festival was really inspiring and I can't wait to put what I've learnt into action."

Pantone announces colour of the year 2015
Monday, 8th December 2014 at 2:24pm
The full bodied qualities of Marsala 18-1438 make it a perfect stand-alone statement tone, an ideal fit for use in interior spaces such as kitchens and dining rooms and for soft furnishings and linens.
Marsala is also the perfect complement to other colours throughout the home as a result of its natural red-brown earthen hues.
The colour of the year is not necessarily about choosing a colour that is in fashion, or replicating a trend, it's a shade reflective of consumers' emotions and feelings of the time.
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute® said "this hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors."

An artist walks miles to create beautiful snow drawings
Thursday, 4th December 2014 at 4:31pm
Artist Sonja Hinrichsen has created these beautiful snow drawings by walking over the frozen Catamount Lake in Colorado.
Sonja and over 60 volunteers wore snowshoes to tread these beautiful and highly decorative patterns into several miles of snow.
This piece of land art is part of Sonja's Snow Drawings series, an on-going project that provides the community with an opportunity to experience their familiar surroundings as art.
The creative process and the relationship with the outdoors is a central element in Sonja's work; as art and the landscape fuse together, the project unlocks a sense of modern society's re-engagement with the natural world.
The aerial photographs help demonstrate to a wider audience how systems of designs can transform the landscape into art.

UK advertising to go 'digital-first'
Thursday, 4th December 2014 at 2:28pm
Group M, the worldwide media buying arm of WPP, has predicted that 50% of £15.7 billion advertising spending in the UK will go to digital, beating channels including print, cinema, buses, newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, billboards and posters combined.
The way Britons have embraced internet-enabled devices, along with a national obsession with gadgets, social media and online shopping are cited as reasons for this shift. An Ofcom survey has shown that over 60% of households own both a smartphone and laptop.
Countries set to follow this move to digital include Sweden (47% digital spending), Denmark (43%), Australia (42%) and Norway (40%).

Sara Blakely Photo By Mani Carrin
The UpTake: Sara Blakely, one of the youngest female billionaires around, talks about her entrepreneurial journey so far, and the success of Spanx.
Sara Blakely cannot help herself but to look at women's rear ends at the airport.
She has become more comfortable confronting people about their underwear over the years since her invention, Spanx, became a must-have undergarment in the wardrobes of women around the world.
As she prepares to return to Tampa Bay, Florida, on April 11 to celebrate her store opening at International Plaza, Blakely took some time to give an exclusive interview to the Tampa Bay Business Journal. This is an excerpt from that conversation. For a fuller version, go to the Tampa Bay Business Journal.
For more news from the Tampa Bay Business Journal, check out Pam Huff's work.
Blakely will cut the ribbon with her mother and 93-year-old grandmother at 10 a.m. Both women still live in the Tampa Bay area and this will be the only three-generation ribbon cutting she does on a new Spanx store.
What's it like having an intimate product that people want to discuss openly with you?
You can't even begin how much [my conversations go] to that. I almost don't know what's going on in the world, the subject immediately goes to their bra or panties. I get flashed everywhere I go. Sophisticated, well-dressed women will lift up their shirt or skirts, or tell me what they want me to invent. My husband loves it. It's a perk of being married to me. He says, "I'm probably the only husband who's allowed to look at rear ends." This happens particularly in airports. I flew back from San Diego this weekend and saw this woman that was so stunning in her bright red dress on the escalator in the Atlanta airport. I can spot a Spanx butt. I leaned over to her and I was so confident, I wasn't afraid to ask. I said, "You look stunning in this red dress; are you wearing Spanx?" She said, "Of course I am." She didn't know who I was. I just smiled and said, "I invented Spanx," and she went wild. I think I'm probably the only person who can go up to people and say that.
Pam Huff is Director of News Operations for the Tampa Bay Business Journal.

What Young Americans Worry About Financially
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- America's younger set seems to be in significant despair, at least compared with their parents and grandparents.
And with good reason.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans aged 16-19 experienced an unemployment rate of 21.4% through February, and Americans aged 20-24 -- a demographic that includes millions of new college graduates -- are seeing a jobless rate of 11.9%.
The timing could not be worse for college grads. Average debt for 2012 college graduates is $29,400, according to the Project On Student Loan Debt. That's up from $18,750 for 2004 college graduates.
- Eight of every 10 teenagers (ages 13 to 17) are worried about finding a good job.
- 78% are anxious about potential student loan debt.
- 50% are concerned about being worse off financially than their parents.
- 97% still plan on attending college.
- More than 75% still rely on their parents/guardians for financial information.

The strength of this hotel is its location, really in the center (less than one minute and you are on the Campo). The staff was nice. You can even let your bags after checking out, until you leave the city (it's a big plus). The only eventual minus: walls are very thin, so for light sleepers it might be a problem. Oh, and not all rooms have panoramic view (we had a view on a big and tall wall).

Loved this place, brilliant location and staff were really helpful and friendly. Only problem we had was the shower flooding our room late one night. Some of our clothes were soaks, which was very annoying, but staff cleaned it up in the morning. Overall great place to stay!

5 I think
How many xp machines you got left?
5 I think
We have 1 XP machine left. It would get binned if we could get drivers for our laser cutter.
Where I was till a few weeks ago had best part of 4000 on XP!!
1 left, for a copier, will be replaced very soon.
My last place are removing XP machines at a rate of 1,000 per week.
90% of current machines but I am creating new Windows 7 this holiday for deployment soon.
I'm not counting.... theres too many for my liking although they are getting upgraded slowly to windows 7
0. And thank lord for that.
4 that I am aware of.
25 of windows 7.
Small budget means only old hardware and old licenses.
No plans to up the 4 xps to win7 and forget about 8.
I've got one XP machine, it runs the library management system and I never touch it.
I've also got one Server 2003 virtual machine, not got any plans to retire that because it's got some crazy software running on it.
My last home machine running it died the week before last (it was in work helping my wiped Cisco routers) and won't be replaced. If I really need it at some point I'll stick it on one of the old Mac minis instead.
None. At least when it comes to fixed desktops...
Still some staff laptops that never come back to see us that are on XP though.
One for the CAD equipment in Technology

2012 Comeback
Jan 7th
I decided in December that I needed to get back to blogging. I wanted to do this because I enjoyed writing when I was doing it regularly. I have vowed to post at least once a week. That is my goal for the year with my blogs.
I think I have interesting things to say but even if others don't find it interesting, it is a way to track my thoughts at the time. I am not getting any younger you know and we all know that the memory starts to fade as we get older. Well, I am not sure that is really true but it is the excuse everyone uses.
In reality, I think that as long as the mind is being used and tested on a regular basis, there is no need for the memories to start fading. Like the old saying goes…Use It or Lose It!! Blogging is one of those ways to "keep using it".
Exercising your brain on a regular basis is as important as exercising the rest of your body. An old Chinese Proverb states "The palest ink is better than the best memory." Is this true or does it have to be? I am not sure, but one thing I know is that I use my brain every day and so far so good.
There are several things we can do to exercise our brains and help keep ourselves sharp.
Physical exercise helps to keep our mind sharp. Walking and running are good ways to think. Many people do their best thinking when they are out for a walk or run. Strength exercises are also good for thinking. The concentration required to correctly do resistance exercises makes the brain work to remember correct form. If you are not thinking of that correct form it is a good possibility you will injure yourself from that incorrect form.
Hobbies are a good way to exercise the brain. Whether you are writing, sewing, building models, reading, building things, taking pictures, drawing/painting pictures etc., you are using your mind. Find a hobby and do it regularly and it will not only reduce stress in your life, your brain will benefit.
You are never too old to learn. I know it is an old saying but it is true. Try to learn something new every day. Whether you are learning a new language or updating your education. Whether you are learning something on the job or just reading something you didn't know before. Just make a vow to learn something new and keep learning new things.
Treat others as you would expect them to treat you. Equally important is to treat yourself as you would expect others to treat you. Your mind will be sharper, you will be happier and your attitude will improve because of the reduced stress. This is also contagious and would be a benefit to everyone.
Do the little things with your mind. If you need to do some basic math, try using your brain rather than using a calculator. Whether you do it in your head or with a pencil and paper, the thought process of doing it by yourself will strengthen your memory. When was the last time you did basic math functions by yourself? This is one thing I do all the time.
Learn from everything you do. If you are driving somewhere, think of the best route to travel. Map it out in your mind. Cutting the lawn? What is the most efficient path to follow to do it the quickest way? Typing something? Try doing it without automatic spell check enabled. Double check your work manually first. Can't remember or don't know how to spell a word? Look it up in a dictionary (online or physical) and learn how to spell the word and learn the meaning of the word. If you are writing something by hand (I know, who does that anymore?) then concentrate on making it as neat as possible. The little things we do help to strengthen the brain and as a result the memory.
We all want to be healthy. Being healthy means we can live a happy life. Since everything runs through the brain, it's a good thing to make sure that the brain is exercised and kept healthy.

Secrets to a Healthier You
Jan 9th
Over the course of the last year I have had several people ask me what my secret was to losing 85lbs in a year. Someone told me I should write a book on the subject but that is not really my style and I would really rather do a series of posts instead. There are several steps that need to be taken in order to achieve weight loss and keep it off. Between Mrs. EB and myself we have lost 150lbs and have managed to keep it off now for 6 months as we now maintain where we are.
So in no particular order these are the secrets that I found to losing weight. I might have missed some off the top of my head and I will elaborate on the ones I mention plus others that occur to me in further posts but this will at least get you thinking. If you are interested in knowing more about what I have done before my posts or want to understand the various points more fully before I elaborate on them then just leave me comment and I will try to send you an e-mail or base my next health post on that topic.
You need the "want and desire" to lose weight for yourself.
Stop eating white foods and limit the processed or fast foods
Read the food labels
Weigh everything you eat that is not in a specified serving size
Record absolutely everything you eat
Talk to your doctor
Weigh yourself weekly and consistently
This looks like a long list but for the most part it is something that can easily be accomplished. Once you have adopted the right mindset then it becomes second nature and part of everyday life. I hope my success will help get you inspired to become a healthier you.

Health Update
Jan 3rd
Those of you who have followed me in the past know that 18 months ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure and a cholesterol problem. For those of you who that don't know the story you can read my archives.
I went for my 18 month check-up last month and continued to have solved the issues. My A1C started at a reading of 17.6mmol/l in May 2008 and for the third consecutive test my A1C was down to a normal reading, this time 5.6mmol/l. This is especially good because it is also first test without having taken any diabetes medicines since the last test. Hopefully I have changed my diet and solved the problem.
My blood pressure was also a concern with my initial reading being 152/113 and again for the third straight appointment my numbers were normal, this time it was 120/80.
I will find out in May if my cholesterol is still in a good range as it was last May after only 1 year of changing my diet.
The other benefit to changing my diet is my overall health. I have lost 80 pounds and have kept this off for almost a year now. I had to purchase 2 or 3 sets of clothes on the way down as I lost between 10 and 12 inches around my waist. I will admit that now I have lost the weight I feel I have more energy and I am able to move around a lot better. I also wonder why it took a health issue to make me smarten up. Better late than never I guess.
So, over the last 18 months I have done a lot of work to figure out what works and what doesn't for me and if anyone is ever interested, I am always around to give my thoughts or share ideas on what worked for me. Some of my future posts will most definitely be on some of my ideas.

Interview Christoph Waldhauser Founder, CEO at KDSS #rstats #googleplus
Interview Heiko Miertzsch eoda #rstats #startups
This is an interview wit Heiko Miertzsch, founder EODA ( http://www.eoda.de/en/). EODA is a cutting edge startup . recently they launched a few innovative products that made me sit up and pay attention. In this interview, Heiko Miertzsch , the founder of eoda talks on the startup journey and the vision of analytics.
DecisionStats (DS)- Describe the journey of your startup eoda. What made you choose R as the platform for your software and training. Name a few turning points and milestones in your corporate journey
Heiko Miertzsch (HM)- eoda was founded in 2010 by Oliver and me. We both have a strong background in analytics and Information Technology industry. So we observed the market a while before starting the business. We saw two trends: First, a lot of new Technologies and Tools for data analysis appeared and second Open Source seemed to become more and more important for several reasons. Just to name one the easiness to share experience and code in a broad and professional community. Disruptive forces seem to change the market and we just don't want back the wrong horse.
From the beginning on we tested R and we were enthusiastic. We started choosing R for our projects, software development, services and build up a training program for R. We already believed in 2010 that R has a successful future. It was more flexible than other statistic languages, more powerful in respect of the functionality, you could integrate it in an existing environment and much more.
DS- You make both Software products and services. What are the challenges in marketing both?
HM- We even do more: We provide consulting, training, individual software, customizing software and services. It is pure fun for us to go to our customers and say "hey, we can help you solving your analytical problems, no matter what kind of service you want to buy, what kind of infrastructure you use, if you want to learn about forest trees or buy a SaaS solution to predict your customers revenues". In a certain way we don't see barriers between these delivery models because we use analytics as our basis. First of all, we focus on the analytical problem of our customers and then we find the ideal solution together with the customer.
DS- Describe your software tableR. How does it work, what is the pricing and what is the benefit to user. Name a few real life examples if available for usage.
HM- Today the process of data collection, analysis and presenting the results is characterized by the use of a heterogeneous software environment with many tools, file formats and manual processing steps. tableR supports the entire process from design a questionnaire, share a structured format with the CAXI software, import the data and doing the analysis and plot the table report with only one single solution. The base report comes with just one click and if you want to go more into detail you can enhance your analysis with your own R code.
tableR is used in a closed beta at the moment and the open beta will in start next weeks.
(It is available at http://www.eoda.de/en/tableR.html)
DS- Describe your software translateR (http://www.eoda.de/en/translateR.html) . How does it work, what is the pricing and what is the benefit to user. Name a few real life examples if available for usage.
HM- Many companies realized the advantages of the open source programming language R. translateR allows a fast and inexpensive migration to R – currently from SPSS code.
The manual migration of complex SPSS® scripts has always been tedious and error-prone. translateR will help here and the task of translating by hand becomes a thing of the past. The beta test of translateR will also start in the next weeks.
DS- How do you think we can use R on the cloud for better analytics?
HM- Well, R seems to bring together the best "Data Scientists" of the world with all their different focuses on different methods, vertical knowledge, technical experience and more. The cloud is a great workplace: It holds the data – a lot of data and it offers a technical platform with computing power. If it succeeds to bring these two aspects together, we could provide a lot of knowledge to solve a lot of problems – with individual and global impact.
DS- What advantages and disadvantages does working on the cloud give to a R user?
HM- In terms of R I don't see other aspects than in using the cloud in general.
DS- Startup life can be hectic – what do you do to relax.
HM- Oliver and I have both families, so eoda is our time to relax – just fun. I guess we do the same typical things like others, Oliver plays soccer and goes running. I like any kind of endurance sports and go climbing, the first to give the thoughtless space the second to train to focus on a concrete target.
translateR is the new service from German based R specialist eoda, which helps users to translate SPSS® Code to R automatically. translateR is developed in cooperation with the University of Kassel and financially supported by the LOEWE-program of the state Hessen. translateR will be available as a cloud service and as a desktop application.
eoda offers consulting, software development and training for analytical and statistical questions. eoda is focused on R and specializes in integrating R into existing software environments.
Interview Tobias Verbeke Open Analytics #rstats #startups
Tobias- I discovered the free software foundation while still at university and spent wonderful evenings configuring my GNU/Linux system and reading RMS essays. For the statistics classes proprietary software was proposed and that was obviously not an option, so I started tackling all problems using R which was at the time (around 2000) still an underdog together with pspp (a command-line SPSS clone) and xlispstat. From that moment on, I decided that R was the hammer and all problems to be solved were nails ;-) In my early career I worked as a statistician / data miner for a general consulting company which gave me the opportunity to bring R into Fortune 500 companies and learn what was needed to support its use in an enterprise context. In 2008 I founded Open Analytics to turn these lessons into practice and we started building tools to support the data analysis process using R. The first big project was Architect, which started as an eclipse-based R IDE, but more and more evolves into an IDE for data science more generally. In parallel we started working on infrastructure to automate R-based analyses and to plug R (and therefore statistical logic) into larger business processes and soon we had a tool suite to cover the needs of industry.
Tobias- RSB stands for the R Service Bus and is communication middleware and a work manager for R jobs. It allows to trigger and receive results from R jobs using a plethora of protocols such as RESTful web services, e-mail protocols, sftp, folder polling etc. The idea is to enable people to push a button (or software to make a request) and have them receive automated R based analysis results or reports for their data.
Tobias- RSB started when automating toxicological analyses in pharmaceutical industry in collaboration with Philippe Lamote. Together with David Dossot, an exceptional software architect in Vancouver, we decided to cleanly separate concerns, namely to separate the integration layer (RSB) from the statistical layer (R) and, likewise, from the application layer. As a result any arbitrary R code can be run via RSB and any client application can interact with RSB as long as it can talk one of the many supported protocols. This fundamental design principle makes us different from alternative solutions where statistical logic and integration logic are always somehow interwoven, which results in maintenance and integration headaches. One of the challenges has been to keep focus on the core task of automating statistical analyses and not deviating into features that would turn RSB into a tool for interaction with an R session, which deserves an entirely different approach.
Tobias- From a freedom perspective, cloud computing and the SaaS model is often a step backwards, but in our own practice we obviously follow our customers' needs and offer RSB hosting from our data centers as well. Also, our other products e.g. the R IDE Architect are ready for the cloud and use on servers via Architect Server. As far as R itself concerns in relation to cloud computing, I foresee its use to increase. At Open Analytics we see an increasing demand for R-based statistical engines that power web applications living in the cloud.
Tobias- RSB 6.0 is all about large-scale production environments and strong security. It kicked off on a project where RSB was responsible for spitting 8500 predictions per second. Such large-scale production deployments of RSB motivated the development of a series of features. First of all RSB was made lightning fast: we achieved a full round trip from REST call to prediction in 7 ms on the mentioned use case. In order to allow for high throughput, RSB also gained a synchronous API (RSB 5.0 had an asynchronous API only). Another new feature is the availability of client-side connection pooling to the pool manager of R processes that are read to serve RSB. Besides speed, this type of production environments also need monitoring and resilience in case of issues. For the monitoring, we made sure that everything is in place for monitoring and remotely querying not only the RSB application itself, but also the pool of R processes managed by RServi.
(Note from Ajay- RJ is an open source library providing tools and interfaces to integrate R in Java applications. RJ project also provides a pool for R engines, easy to setup and manage by a web-interface or JMX. One or multiple client can borrow the R engines (called RServi) see http://www.walware.de/it/rj/ and https://github.com/walware/rj-servi)
Also, we now allow to define node validation strategies to be able to check that R nodes are still functioning properly. If not, the nodes are killed and new nodes are started and added to the pool. In terms of security, we are now able to cover a very wide spectrum of authentication and authorization. We have machines up and running using openid, basic http authentication, LDAP, SSL client certificates etc. to serve everyone from the individual user who is happy with openid authentication for his RSB app to large investment banks who have very strong security requirements. The next step is to provide tighter integration with Architect, such that people can release new RSB applications without leaving the IDE.
Tobias- I do not feel qualified to answer such a question, since I founded a single company in Antwerp, Belgium. That being said, Belgium is great! :-)
Tobias- Free software. Free as in beer and as in free speech!
Tobias- Open source is probably a global ecosystem and crosses oceans very easily. Dries Buytaert started off Drupal in Belgium and now operates from the US interacting with a global community. From a business perspective, there are as many open source models as there are open source companies. I noticed that the major US R companies (Revolution Analytics and RStudio) cherished the open source philosophy initially, but drifted both into models combining open source and proprietary components. At Open Analytics, there are only open source products and enterprise customers have access to exactly the same functionality as a student may have in a developing country. That being said, I don't believe this is a matter of geography, but has to do more with the origins and different strategies of the companies.
Tobias- In a previous life the athletics track helped keeping hands off the keyboard. Currently, my children find very effective ways to achieve similar goals

Lou- Our 20+ years of experience with S-PLUS gave us a unique knowledge of the commercial applications of the S/R language, deep experience with architecting, extending and maintaining a commercial S language engine, strong ties to the R community and a rich trove of algorithms we could apply on developing the TERR engine.
DS- Describe some benchmarks of TERR with open source of R.
DS- TERR is not open source. Why is that?
DS- How is TIBCO a company to work for potential data scientists.
DS- How is TIBCO giving back to the R Community globally. What are it's plans on community.
DS- As a sixth time attendee of UseR, Describe the evolution of R ecosystem as you have observed it.
Interview Jan de Leeuw Founder JSS
Here is an interview with one of the greatest statisticians and educator of this generation, Prof Jan de Leeuw. In this exclusive and free wheeling interview, Prof De Leeuw talks on the evolution of technology, education, statistics and generously shares nuggets of knowledge of interest to present and future statisticians.
DecisionStats(DS)- You have described UCLA Dept of Statistics as your magnum opus.Name a couple of turning points in your career which helped in this creation .
Jan de Leeuw (JDL) -From about 1980 until 1987 I was head of the Department of Data Theory at Leiden University. Our work there produced a large number of dissertations which we published using our own publishing company. I also became president of the Psychometric Society in 1987. These developments resulted in an invitation from UCLA to apply for the position of director of the interdepartmental program in social statistics, with a joint appointment in Mathematics and Psychology. I accepted the offer in 1987. The program eventually morphed into the new Department of Statistics in 1998.
DS- Describe your work with Gifi software and non linear multivariate analysis.
JDL- I started working on NLMVA and MDS in 1968, while I was a graduate student researcher in the new Department of Data Theory. Joe Kruskal and Doug Carroll invited me to spend a year at Bells Labs in Murray Hill in 1973-1974. At that time I also started working with Forrest Young and his student Yoshio Takane. This led to the sequence of "alternating least squares" papers, mainly in Psychometrika. After I returned to Leiden we set up a group of young researchers, supported by NWO (the Dutch equivalent of the NSF) and by SPSS, to develop a series of Fortran programs for NLMVA and MDS.
In 1980 the group had grown to about 10-15 people, and we gave a succesful postgraduate course on the "Gifi methods", which eventually became the 1990 Gifi book. By the time I left Leiden most people in the group had gone on to do other things, although I continued to work in the area with some graduate students from Leiden and Los Angeles. Then around 2010 I worked with Patrick Mair, visiting scholar at UCLA, to produce the R packages smacof, anacor, homals, aspect, and isotone. Also see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u733Mf7jX24
JDL- I started in 1968 with PL/I. Card decks had to be flown to Paris to be compiled and executed on the IBM/360 mainframes. Around the same time APL came up and satisfied my personal development needs, although of course APL code was difficult to communicate. It was even difficult to underatand your own code after a week. We had APL symbol balls on the Selectrix typewriters and APL symbols on the character terminals. The basic model was there — you develop in an interpreted language (APL) and then for production you use a compiled language (FORTRAN). Over the years APL was replaced by XLISP and then by R. Fortran was largely replaced by C, I never switched to C++ or Java. We discouraged our students to use SAS or SPSS or MATLAB. UCLA Statistics promoted XLISP-STAT for quite a long time, but eventually we had to give it up. See http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~deleeuw/janspubs/2005/articles/deleeuw_A_05.pdf.
(In 1998 the UCLA Department of Statistics, which had been one of the major users of Lisp-Stat, and one of the main producers of Lisp-Stat code, decided to switch to S/R. This paper discusses why this decision was made, and what the pros and the cons were. )
Generally, there has never been an computational environment like R — so integrated with statistical practice and development, and so enormous, accessible and democratic. I must admit I personally still prefer to use R as originally intended: as a convenient wrapper around and command line interface for compiled libraries and code. But it is also great for rapid prototyping, and in that role it has changed the face of statistics.
The fact that you cannot really propose statistical computations without providing R references and in many cases R code has contributed a great deal to reproducibility and open access.
JDL- I really don't know how to answer this. A life cannot be corrected, repeated, or relived.

Local Lenders (see list below)
The importance of keeping it local:
If you're thinking about buying property in Summit County, and you'll be applying for a loan, it's important to keep it local! Lending practices have changed greatly since 2008, and in today's market it only makes sense to apply for your loan in the same community as you'll be making your purchase. Our local lenders understand the local market, and know how to deal with Summit County real estate. Our lenders are professional, knowledgable, and most importantly, competitive. They understand front desks, short-term rentals, HOA assessments, well and septic systems, and onsite commercial space. With a local lender, you greatly reduce last-minute surprises, like this one: "Sorry, but we're denying your loan because there are 34 units in the building, and one of them was turned into a fractional-ownership condo in 1978."
So keep it local, and you'll avoid the last-minute, game changing surprises.
Here are some local lenders with proven track records - I would recommnd any of them:
1. Judy Irwin, Wells Fargo, Frisco
Phone: 1-970-668-2416
2. Dan Cooper, FirstBank, Frisco
Phone: 1-970-468-7250
3. Doug Sulquist, Sulquist Mortgage, Breckenridge
Phone: 1-970-453-2900
4. Kevin Berkley, Mountain Resort Mortgage, Breckenridge
Phone: 1-877-953-6300, 1-970-547-2180
5. Calvin Cox, PTF Financial, Boulder
Phone: 1-303-385-1119 or 1-303-931-8360
6. Judy Wallace, Cherry Creek Mortgage Company, Breckenridge
Phone: 1-970-485-0707
7. Dana Holland, Integra Lending, Breckenridge
Phone: 1-888-688-1020 or 1-970-453-9403 ext 4
8. Darlena Marmons, Colorado State Bank and Trust , Frisco
Phone: 1-970-668-2200
Any of the above lenders would be happy to discuss their rates with you - give them a call, send an email.

UC Freshman Moved to Intensive Care Unit
CINCINNATI (AP) - A Cincinnati freshman hurt in a traffic accident that killed a teammate last month has been upgraded in an intensive care unit.
Receiver Mark Barr of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has been changed from serious to stable condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. A school spokesman said Tuesday that doctors are encouraged by his slow but steady progress.
Freshman offensive lineman Ben Flick of Hamilton, Ohio, was killed in the one-vehicle accident on the way back from a game against Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, on Sept. 21. The driver - an 18-year-old Miami student - also died.
Barr and receiver Javon Harrison from suburban Dayton were injured. Harrison was treated and released.
The three players were redshirt freshmen who didn't travel with the team.

Microsoft CEO Nixes Another Bid for Yahoo!
Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Steve Ballmer said the software maker has "moved on" and doesn't plan on making another bid for Yahoo! (YHOO), according to a media report.
Yahoo!'s CEO Jerry Yang signaled earlier this week that the Internet company is willing to sell.
Ballmer, at a conference in Sydney, on Friday said Microsoft may still have partnership deals with Yahoo!, Bloomberg reports.
"We're not interested in going back and re-looking at an acquisition," Ballmer said. ``I'm sure there are still opportunities for some kind of partnership around search.'' He didn't elaborate on the potential partnerships, Bloomberg reports.Yang said he's ready to return to the bargaining table with Microsoft if Microsoft remains interested in buying the Internet company. "To this day, I believe the best thing for Microsoft to do is to buy Yahoo," Yang said Wednesday at the Web 2.0 summit in San Francisco, the Associated Press reported. Yang said he and the rest of Yahoo!'s board "remain open to everything" after Google (GOOG) abandoned an ad-search deal between the two companies. Google's move to back out of the partnership renewed investor speculation that Microsoft may bid for all or part of Yahoo!. Yang rejected bids earlier this year from Microsoft of as much as $47.5 billion, or $33 a share. Shares of Yahoo! traded as low as $11.25 last week. Yahoo! closed Thursday at $13.96.

There are some updates with .NET 3.0 concerning how to create and use add-ins for your own applications. I read about some "pipeline" you have to create for the communication between add-in and host-application but couldn't find further information about it.
How would you made an add-in functionality in an application with .NET 3.0/3.5?
Additional information if necessary: The host application is made with WPF and some general functionality. Each add-in should add a own register-tab to a given container with their own content (buttons, textfields, ...) and methods to extend the host-application.
Thanks in advance!

CSI Review: My Dog Ate Your Evidenceby Jim Garner at . Comments
I'm glad to see CSI taking on new ideas for cases along with the addition of DB and Finn this season, and this week's outing is a good example of this very thing.
I doubt I could count all the crime drama episodes that focused on "getting the innocent man out of jail." This show has even used this same plot in a few variations.
However, "Altered Stakes" gave us the evil-twin of this plot, by saying: "What if you need to keep a convicted man in jail?"
When the episode opened with a softball game, my wife said, "she's going to hit a homerun and the ball will land next to a body." Because that's what most crime dramas would have done. Thankfully, DB and his team reminded us why the show has been on the air for 12 years (and counting).
Using corrupt cop Sam Vega, (who was last seen in Episode 8 "Crime After Crime") as the catalyst for a case was a great way to spark the investigation. The fact that the manner in which he got the confession and all the evidence after that was tainted added a bit of spice to what could have been a dry and tasteless task.
The best twist of all, was just as we were settling in for this weird backwards case, they spring the David Jorgensen case on us; where proving Bowden committed the attack would free an innocent man from jail! Talk about coming full circle. Wow! Kudos to the entire production staff for another great twist.
Mixing that with the humor of the final key evidence against Bowden coming from the something the witness kept for 8 years because her dog ate it made for a tense nail-biting episode with a humorous but satisfying ending.
That being said, I will admit that I, like Nick and Moreno, am a little sad that Detective Vega turned out to be dirty. Geoffrey Rivas has portrayed Detective Vega in more than 20 episodes dating back to the first season. It's hard to see a good cop go bad.
On the flip-side it looks like Finn might have a new romantic interest in the form of Vega's son Detective Moreno. In the spirit of full disclosure I was right there with DB being annoyed with Finn for faking an injury to stop and flirt with Moreno on third base. And apparently her sarcasm was too subtle for me when she was talking to DB about the cute guy on third base as I just didn't see it.
When the end of the episode came and it turned out that she had faked the injury for Henry so he could hit the winning run home it all made sense. She had been taking him to the batting cages and knew it would mean more to him to be the hero for a change. I should have know better than to not trust Finn!
My only disappointment for this episode was the over use of the Italian opera/references to Italy that went on with Hodges. Nearly every scene with him had him speaking Italian, singing in Italian, or both! Ok we get it, he went to Italy with his mom - It's not an hidden Easter Egg if you beat us over the head with it.
While we wait the couple of weeks to our next new episode, be sure and check out our selection of CSI quotes and see if your favorite made the list!

Rumor has it, that Nick ( George Eads ) may be booted out in favor of this undersheriff Jeffrey McKeens???? I truly hope this is not true because this will be yet another show I will not watch. With all the shows being canceled, I find I have less reason to watch TV!
I think Morenro should continue on the show for several more episode and him and Finn should get together. I think they would make the perfect couple.
@Standing Blogger, I didn't mention Murciano because he has been playing Moreno for a bit.. I enjoy all of his work :)
I wish that they had closure on the innocent man plot. You just have to assume that once they found the evidence they were going to release him but there was no mention of it. Will the DA file for release or will they wait until the convict the real killer?
i thought it was alright....however, i did LOVE seeing danny taylor again....i miss "without a trace"....was thrilled to see the actor on "ncis"....i like DB and even Finn....i DON'T miss catherine or really sara.....not sure about nick's hair. alisa
Ah yes, Finn's off-script and usually inappropriate grin. I don't think it's Finn's grin though, I believe it to be Shue's inability to separate herself from her character. It's Shue, not Finn with the inside-joke, cat-that-ate-the canary grin. Unprofessional-ism at its most blatant. Maybe she'll grow out of it.
I don't dislike her character, I just wish she'd do a better, less snarky job of performing it.
Hodges-Opera? I agree, way too much, we get it already. And of course, what criticism of CSI would be complete without the chemistry/forensics highly-unlikely, deus-ex-machina? A trace, a wisp of a transference (indirect) trace (or lack thereof) of some distinct, yet common chemical lasts, how many years?, on a miniscule splinter?
You know how many cops, prosecutors and forensics labs absolutely HATE this show for the flawed science they showcase?
I still like the show a lot even with the warts, I love DB, like the return to more episode-centric crime solving. But stretch it too much, too far, and I'll soon start to lose some love.
You didn't mention that Det. Moreno is played by CBS procedural fav Enrique Murciano (Regular cast member on Without a Trace, guest star on NCIS and now guest star on CSI). I like seeing Danny Taylor back on TV.
Being a helluva lot better than Sara. Not having the chip on her shoulder Catherine did. And being played by Elizabeth Shue. I'd say that's enough.
Enjoyable episode--thank goodness we got no reference to DB's wife, BUT we did hear a mention of Grissom, so at least the man isn't totally forgotten.
And really appreciated hearing Nick talk about Vega--I never thought of Vega as a bad cop, so happy I'm in good company!
And as soon as I realized this was "keep the bad guy in jail" I knew what the search would be--well done, Elizabeth Devine!!
Did miss Sara--and what of Greg? That guy has almost disappeared this season. As for Finn--she's sort of useless, isn't she? Other than a pretty face, a big grin, and a smart mouth for entertaining DB--does she have a real purpose?

Buy a Car at Fire-Sale Prices
Line up financing: Before you contact a dealer about a car, make sure you have financing lined up. That way, you're ready to wheel and deal if you run across the perfect car. If you already have a good relationship with a lender who offers car loans, check his rates and terms. To get an idea of rates in your area, check out the auto-loan section of BankingMyWay.com and search by ZIP code. Nationwide, rates are averaging around 6.8% for a 36-month loan and 6.96% for a 60-month loan, according to BankingMyWay.com.
Take stock of your situation before applying for a loan. Check your budget to see how much you can afford as a monthly payment. If your credit is only average --700 points or less -- you may not qualify for the best rates. Consider increasing the down payment.
Negotiate: Even if you find a good offer online, don't be afraid to negotiate the price when you contact the dealer. Companies like Toyota and Saturn require dealers to stick to the advertised price, but most other companies do not. If you are nervous about negotiating in person, try it over the phone.
If you know the make, model and options package you want, call up four or five dealers and ask them for their best price. If the online price beats their offer, tell them they have to do better. If they can, circle back to the dealer who posted the online price and ask for a lower price. Once you've given all the dealers a second chance to go as low as possible, choose the best deal. By doing the negotiating over the phone, you end up avoiding the pressure of sitting in a sales office, face to face with a salesperson.
