England keep their heads to maintain perfect start
Belarus 1 England 3: Gerrard and Rooney on target as Fabio Capello's side achieve best opening to a qualifying campaign
When Fabio Capello took the England job he was asked to make this dysfunctional team play like the sum of its parts. Last night you could not deny that Wayne Rooney looked like the Rooney of Manchester United or that Frank Lampard was indistinguishable from the Lampard who plays for Chelsea. As for Emile Heskey, he did not look himself at all – he played more like a latter-day Marco Van Basten.
If we did not know better then it would be possible to get a bit carried away with this new England team under Capello. They have four wins out of four in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, which is a record for any England team in a World Cup qualifying campaign, and this was as smooth and assured a performance as the victory in Zagreb last month. Two goals for Rooney, plus the opener from Steven Gerrard, and a win over the kind of side that were skilful enough to have embarrassed a more nervous England team.
All hail Il Capo for that. England teams of the past have conceived of countless different ways of tossing away leads, squandering winning positions or letting nerves take hold. Now under Capello, this England team seems to get stronger in the second half. Last night Capello revealed that he had made a subtle change at half-time, asking Gerrard to mark the veteran holding midfielder Alex Kulchy whose passing had proved so effective in the first half. Belarus lost their rhythm and England's grip on the game grew tighter.
It was the kind of tactical sleight of hand that has, in the recent past, more often been used by opposing managers than the one in charge of England. Early days yet but the pressure on this England team has lifted as they approach the friendly against Germany next month with a better record in qualifying than their old enemies. This time two years ago, McClaren was already under pressure in Euro 2008 qualifying. The big question now facing Capello is where he fancies spending his Christmas holiday.
What about the Gerrard conundrum? In the space of one match he went from goalscorer to a good 20 minutes of tactical fecklessness and then back to being the key man again when he was told to mark Kulchy. No-one could claim that on this basis Capello has got it nailed as to where exactly this luminous, free-spirited player would be best deployed but there were some interesting ideas. Nevertheless his goal on 12 minutes was a pretty good answer to Gerrard's own fears about whether he should be in the team.
Out on the left, Gerrard had played an indifferent 12 minutes until he advanced as Rooney dribbled a loose ball around the edge of the Belarus area. As the Manchester United man appeared to be gaining control of the ball, Gerrard arrived stage left and, without breaking stride, struck a masterful side-foot shot with his right that found the Belarus goal from 31 yards out.
It was not entirely deserved given how well Belarus had passed the ball in the opening stages and they only got better in the first half. Their manager, Bernd Stange, said that his side's first half was the best they had ever played under him and they were helped by the giddy aspect of Gerrard who, for 15 minutes after his goal, could rarely be found anywhere near the left wing. Belarus proceeded to exploit his absence ruthlessly.
It was easy to see why Capello had compared Belarus to Arsenal. The intricacy of their passing was breathtaking at times and, rather like Arsène Wenger's team, they also had a fragility that seemed to betray some of their better moves. Had England scored a goal like the one they managed on 27 minutes, we would have been heralding a new era of pass and move in Capello's team. Belarus had strung together 21 passes while advancing to the edge of England's area where Vitaly Kutuzov played in Igor Sasevich along England's delicate left flank and, as the Chelsea defender Wayne Bridge slipped, he crossed for the unmarked Pavel Sitko to head in.
That could easily have been the point at which England collapsed, which they certainly have done in the past, but instead that hitherto elusive ability to play under pressure became evident. The chief grafter was none other than Emile Heskey who worked harder than ever to occupy the Belarus defence and was always on hand to offer a target for the long ball out. At every point of his recent international rehabilitation you might have expected Heskey to revert to type and start falling over pointlessly but so far his performances have been beyond reproach.
When he made the second goal for England – which was Rooney's first – the England fans broke into that song currently popular at Wigan Athletic: "There's only one Emile Heskey, he used to be shite, but now he's all right". It is difficult to know whether Heskey should be pleased about it or not but there was no doubt that in the second half he became England's best player.
The second goal came five minutes after the break, made by the strength and perseverance of Heskey. The striker positioned himself brilliantly to receive a throw-in on the left side, deep in the Belarus half and from then on his power took him along the byline past Dmitry Verkhovtsov and Igor Filipenko. At one point it looked like he had delayed too much his chance to pass to Rooney but, when it came, the cut back was unmissable.
Heskey eventually gave way to Peter Crouch and Theo Walcott, who had struggled to make an impact, was replaced by Shaun Wright-Phillips. Rooney dropped into the left side of midfield to cover for Gerrard. England's third goal was a peach. On the edge of the area, Bridge found Rooney, he passed to Gerrard and the United striker took the return. From there Rooney dropped his shoulder to beat the defender and chipped the goalkeeper Yuri Zhevnov.
David Beckham came on for his 107th cap, passing Sir Bobby Charlton's record of 106 and coming within one of Bobby Moore's record of 108 – which will not please the traditionalists, especially as he spent about three minutes on the pitch last night. Gerrard hit the post when he had gone past Zhevnov. England, meanwhile, have some cause for hope although regaining their reputation might take a little longer.

Poetry. If what you relish about thought is its heft, velocity, its unpredictability, then Fred Muratori's THE SPECTRA will transport you. Visceral particulars—Batman, buzzsaws, wax-lustered cars, beef, and, yes, even Roy Orbison—propel readers beyond finitude in blunt cascades of 15 lines. Enjambments facilitate speed, precariousness, volatility while asking: "What if everything we think, from first synaptic spark to the last, is one thought, continuously digressive?" Parsed out in 13 syllables per line, life besieges readers as Muratori charts the source of the unsayable. Locomotion and elocution bring us to life's brim, to the subliminal spectra therein. One could cite Kant, Leibnitz and Wittgenstein to explain how Muratori twists conventional notions of meaning formation. The poet himself tips his hat to Wallace Stevens and others who fall into consciousness—Dupin, Bronk, Dahlberg, and Zukofsky. THE SPECTRA's thoughts-about-thought clang and balk, surprising us all.Author City: ITHACA, NY USABorn and raised near New Haven, Connecticut, Fred Muratori is an alumnus of Fairfield University and of the graduate creative writing program at Syracuse University, where he studied with Philip Booth and W.D. Snodgrass. He is the author of three full-length poetry collections, A CIVILIZATION (Dos Madres Press, 2014), THE SPECTRA (Stockport Flats Press, 2011) and Despite Repeated Warnings (Basfal Books, 1994), as well as a chapbook, The Possible (State Street Press, 1988). His poems and prose poems have appeared widely in journals such as The Iowa Review, New American Writing, Hotel Amerika, Poetry, Denver Quarterly, Verse, River Styx, and Stone Canoe; in the anthology series The Best American Poetry and The Best of the Prose Poem; the textbook Writing Dangerous Poetry; and on the Poetry Daily web site. His reviews of contemporary poetry can be found in Boston Review, American Book Review, Library Journal, Manhattan Review, and Notre Dame Review, among others. A recipient of poetry writing grants from the New York State Council on the Arts and the Saltonstall Foundation, he lives in Ithaca, New York and works as the Bibliographer for English-language Literature, Theater and Film at the Cornell University Library.

NEW YORK -- Red Sox shortstop Jed Lowrie is out of the lineup on Tuesday due to lingering discomfort in his left shoulder following a glancing collision with outfielder Carl Crawford in Detroit on May 29 in the first game of a double header against the Tigers.
"Jed's been our shortstop and has done a terrific job. I just think Jed's shoulder has been nagging at him a little bit, if we can get him back-to-back days off, Marco has really good numbers against this guy and he has played three days in a row so he's in good game shape. We're trying to take advantage of both," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona, citing Scutaro's 6-for-12 career mark against New York starter Freddy Garcia.
"It kind of seemed like it plateaued a little bit. The first four days it got better and then has just been nagging. I think back-to-back days might kick start it a little bit, or it to heal. And, again, we have Scoot here who has really done well so it really made sense. I think Jed was OK with it."
The shortstop, who is hitting .292 with a .747 OPS, sat out of the second game of the doubleheader and remained out the following day, but had started every subsequent game until Tuesday at Yankee Stadium, when he was out of the lineup in favor of Marco Scutaro.
"Everything sort of plateaued," said the shortstop, who pointed out the pain is a "dull ache" and resides near the area of the scapula. "No better, no worse.
"It hasn't gotten any better so I'm not concerned, but at the same time it hasn't gotten any better. We'll figure out what's going on."
Since the injury, Lowrie is 4-for-21 (.190) with a .499 OPS in five games. Lowrie said that he may need an MRI on the shoulder if the condition does not improve.
"Not yet, but I think we're working on it," he said when asked if he had gotten an MRI. "I think it benefits everybody. There's no reason not to do it for everybody's peace of mind."

You are a thief trying to improve your skills. You must over come dangers, hazards and codes in order to steel the valuable goods. Work your way through increasing levels of security and danger. Your reward for success is huge, but can you make it?
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
There are various issues with the game - for instance on some occasions if you pushed the interactive climbing blocks all the way to the left of the screen, they could no longer be moved or picked up (not sure if this is intentional) and the controls are far too sensitive on the swing bridge sections, otherwise a nice little game with a great sense of simplicity and atmosphere.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
all in all i enjoyed his game only that i would rather have a the display of just the game and not have it shown on top of a book due to the fact that it decreases the size of the display and I would rather the lock pick direction to correspond to there respective directions.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Good animation, original (I think) though when you die it looks like you died unfairly how you just hear an annoying death sound while your character disappears without making contact to whatever killed him mainly spikes.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Physics and some graphics should be fixed or put to the new level. The idea is interesting thought. Ho and blocks physics should be fixed. Make them less vulnerable to pushing. In this version they slide on the flat ground and a single contact launches them sky-high.

Toronto: Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay, Amir Johnson, Andrea Bargnani.
Golden State: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, David Lee, Andris Biedrins.
Lowry vs. Curry
The son former Raptor Dell Curry has been on fire; he lit up New York for 54 points last week and had 30 when the Warriors lost to Philadelphia on Saturday. It'll be all Lowry can do to keep him in check.
Gay will have had two days to get his back spasms under control and get back in the lineup; Landry Fields will likely start again if Gay can't go . . . Coach Dwane Casey said the move to re-insert Bargnani in the starting lineup was done independently of Gay's situation so he should remain there . . . Warriors coming off four straight road losses and begin a seven-game homestand . . . Curry has been out of this world hot and is shooting better than 46 per cent from three-point range . . . As Sunday's action started, Golden State had dropped to sixth in the West . . . Lowry had Toronto's third triple-double of the season, and the third of his career, in Saturday's overtime loss in Milwaukee.

Men of the Year Celebrate Themselves More
While the red carpet had its share of hot guys and pretty young ladies, inside last night's GQ Men of the Year party was where things really got hopping. And by that, I mean Ryan Gosling was there. Geeky guys obviously rule, with Justin Chambers pulling off a bit of the Clark Kent about to become Superman thing with his undone shirt. At the event, Hayden lamented the fact that men traditionally get better roles than women. She said, "In general, there have always been better male roles than females, which has been a struggle." While that's no secret, little Hayden's got a mighty strong girl to play on Heroes. Now, how much fun would it be to party with this group of guys (and girls)?

When a business incubator ISN'T useless
Filed Under Dr. De Mars General Life Ramblings | Leave a Comment
After I recommended a business incubator to an acquaintance, one of my co-founders protested,
"But I thought you said incubators were useless."
I told her no, I didn't say incubators were useless. I said they were useless for US at this stage in our company. There are times when the right incubator can be extremely helpful. The wrong incubator is useless always.
I remember walking into one of the latter type years ago in a small town in North Dakota. The "business incubator" consisted of one bored staff member with no education or experience in starting or running a business. There were a few very old computers she pointed me to that she said I could use to search the internet. When I asked her if she suggested any particular websites she just shrugged and said,
I don't know. I'm just here to keep people from stealing the computers.
Other than the computers, the office had a few copies of a brochure on starting a business and that was it.
When Erich, April and I started Spirit Lake Consulting, Inc., we used the services of a business incubator at the University of North Dakota. Erich was in the doctoral program there at the time and someone had mentioned it to him. They were extremely helpful. At this point, we all had some business experience – April was the controller for the tribe, Erich and I had both done consulting and Erich had been tribal college president. I had an MBA. Still, there was a lot we did not know about building and running a company. The UND incubator helped us in many ways.
First, they told us about a lot of resources of which we were unaware. The Small Business Innovation Research awards were one huge benefit to us that we learned about from them. They directed us to the Small Business Administration website that has lots of free resources for developing business plans.
Second, they provided us financial support. They gave us a $1,500 Phase 0 award that bought some of my time so that I could afford to take time away from clients and write our first SBIR proposal, which got funded. The set us up with two business consultants, paid for by the incubator. One was a graduate student, well meaning but pretty useless, who did something like a market analysis. The second was a very experienced and I am sure very well paid executive who gave us a lot of sound advice on business planning, writing SBIR proposals and marketing.
Third, they provided us contacts. When April was offered a job as General Manager of the casino, she was required to sell all of her interest in any other entity, including our company. We needed an accountant, since she had handled the payroll, taxes, and generally keeping the IRS from throwing us in jail. The incubator recommended our accountant, Donna Remer, who we still work with to this day on The Julia Group and 7 Generation Games.
An incubator is just like it sounds – for little baby companies just getting started. We're not that any more. We have an accountant, a business plan, an SBIR award. We know enough about the GSA schedule to know it's not for us. We have an office, computers, printer, server.
At this point, an incubator would not be very useful for us. At one point, though, it was extremely helpful, and it may be that its extremely helpful for you.
You'll never use what you don't know
Filed Under Dr. De Mars General Life Ramblings, Software | Leave a Comment
Frequently, I hear adults who should know better argue against learning something, whether it is algebra, analysis of variance or learning a programming language. They say,
I'm 47 years old and I've never used (insert thing I didn't learn here).
Yes, that is true. However, if you had learned it, there is a good chance that you would have used it . For those of you protesting, "Hey, I learned algebra!" , maybe you did and maybe you didn't. Read my post on number sense.)
Let's take this morning as an example. In keeping with my New Year's Literary resolution, I started out the day reading the jQuery cookbook. There were two things I learned that I expect to use this year. One of them was very simple, but I didn't know it.
var t1 = +new Date ;
This returns the current date in milliseconds converted to a number. Yes, you could use the Javascript Number() function but this saves you a step.
Now you can use this useful bit of code which I am planning on applying next week when I get done with what I'm working on now. I can use it to see how long a student worked on each individual problem and how long he or she took for the whole test.
(function() {
var log = [], first, last ;
time = function(message, since) {
var now= +new Date ;
var seconds = (now - (since || last)) /1000 ;
log.push(seconds.toFixed(3) + ':' + message + 'br/>') ;
return last = +new Date ;
time.done = function(selector) {
time('total', first) ;
$(selector).html(log.join('')) ;
first = last = +new Date ;
})() ;
Now, the author's interest was in seeing how long each bit of code took to run. However, I can see how this could be really useful in the pretest and posttests we use for our games to see how long the student spent on each problem. We could call this function each time the student clicks on the next arrow to go to the next problem.
One of the Common Core Standards for mathematical practice is "Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them."
How do you know if a student is "persevering"? One way would be to measure how long he or she spent on a particular problem before going on to the next. We cannot know for a fact that the student spent time thinking about it rather than staring off into space, but we can at least set a maximum amount of time the student spent thinking about it before going on to the next thing.
This takes me to the point Morton Jervens was making about not everything that counts can be counted and data does not always equal statistics.
While there is truth in that, I would say that much more that counts can be counted and much more of data can be turned into statistics if you know how to do it.
Learn how.
According to the New York Times, 45% of people make New Year's resolutions and although 54% of them fail, the percentage who succeed (46% , proof that I can subtract and understand the concept of percentages) is more than ten times higher than for those people who say they would like to change but don't make specific, stated resolutions.
I am one of those people who always makes New Year's resolutions, and I usually keep them, putting me in the top 46% (woo-hoo!) I believe there is value to setting public goals. Here are my resolutions for this year:
1. Read one technical book a month. I already have a list for the first seven months.
2. Get accepted in and complete an accelerator program.
3. Get three more games on the market. That won't be as difficult as it sounds because our second game is just going through the last finishing touches and will be in at least six schools in January.
4. Work FULL-TIME on 7 Generation Games! I am pretty excited about this one. I have two classes I have agreed to teach in February and May, and one consulting client with whom I have a long-term contract, but other than that, it is a year of game development and building a company. I am so excited.
5. Analyze all of the data we collect on our games' effectiveness. Again, this is an easy one because it is a requirement of our grant funding. We already have pretest data on over 300 users from age 9-13, and I expect to collect data on 200-300 more as well as post-test data within the next few months.
6. Get moderately proficient with photoshop. I'm not an artist and I mostly use graphic converter, but since I have photoshop as part of the Creative Suite license, I figured I may as well learn a few things.
7. Learn more about the Mac OS. That might sound funny since I have had a Mac ever since I got one in 1984 instead of a big diamond engagement ring. (I told my to-be husband that I really wanted one of those new Macintosh computers more than a fancy diamond.) However, there are no doubt details that I don't know and have never taken the time to learn.
8. Finish the pilot project of the data mining study I have been working on.
That is enough for the year, I think.
My sister, my mom and The Perfect Jennifer always tells me that I need to have interests outside of work. I am not wholly convinced of that, since I am pretty happy the way I am. I don't have any resolutions about visiting exotic places because I already have a lot on my plate for 2015. I keep saying I want to go back to Costa Rica and take some immersion program to improve my Spanish, but that will have to wait until 2016. So, here is my non-work resolution:
9. To go visit my family at least twice this year. I'm already planning to go hiking in some mountains with my sister for a day or two this summer, and I want to take The Spoiled One to visit my mom in Florida and check out colleges in the south.
So …. those are my New Year's resolutions and I even threw in a non-work related one. (Joy, I hope that makes you happy, or joyful or something.) I looked through my blogs for the last few years and i think I have done okay on following through on resolutions and non-resolutions.
If you don't have a blog but are still convinced of the whole efficacy of public accountability thing, please feel free to post your resolutions below. Or just do it because I'm nosy and wondering what other people's resolutions are.
My Year in Books: Technical Edition
Filed Under Dr. De Mars General Life Ramblings, Software, statistics | Leave a Comment
I read a lot. This year, I finished 308 books on my Kindle app, another dozen on iBooks, a half-dozen on ebrary and 15 or 20 around the house. I don't read books on paper very often any more. It's not too practical for me. I go through them at the rate of about a book a night, thanks to a very successful speed reading program when I was young (thank you, St. Mary's Elementary School). Don't be too impressed. I don't watch TV and I read a lot of what I colleague called, "Junk food for the brain". I read a bunch of Agatha Christie novels, three Skullduggery Pleasant books, several of the Percy Jackson and the Olympian books. Yes, when it comes to my fiction reading, I have the interests of a fourteen-year-old girl. Trying to read like a grown up, I also read a bunch of New York Times bestseller novels and didn't like any of them.
So, I decided to do my own "best books list" based on a random sample of one, me, and make up my own categories.
Because I taught a course on multivariate statistics, I read a lot of books in that area, and while several of them were okay, there was only one that I really liked.
The winner for best statistics book I read this year,
Applied logistic regression, 3rd Edition, by David Hosmer, Stanley Lemmeshow and Rodney Sturdivant.
I really liked this book. I'm not new to logistic regression, but I'm always looking for new ideas, new ways to teach, and this book was chock full of them. What I liked most about it is that they used examples with real data, e.g., when discussing multinomial logistic regression, the dependent variable was type of placement for adolescents, and one of the predictor variables was how likely the youthful offender was to engage in violence against others. It is a very technical book and if you are put off by matrix multiplication and odds ratios, this isn't the book for you. On the other hand, if you want any in depth understanding of logistic regression from a practical point of view, read it from the beginning to end.
Best SAS book I read this year …
Let me start with the caveat that I have been using SAS for over 30 years and I don't teach undergraduates, so I have not read any basic books at all. I read a lot of books on a range of advanced topics and most of them I found to be just – meh. Maybe it is because I had read all the good books previously and so the only ones I had left unread lying around were just so-so. All that being said, the winner is …
Applied statistics and the SAS programming language (5th Ed), by Ronald Cody and Jeffrey Smith
This book has been around for eight years and I had actually read parts of it a couple of years ago, but this was the first time I read through the whole book. It's a very readable intermediate book. Very little mathematics is included. It's all about how to write SAS code to produce a factor analysis, repeated measures ANOVA, etc. It has a lot of random stuff thrown in, like a review of functions, and working with date data. If you have a linear style of learning and teaching, you might hate that. Personally, I liked that about it. This book was published eight years ago, which is an eon in programming time, but a chi-square or ANOVA have been around 100 years, so that wasn't an issue. While I don't generally like the use of simulated data for problems in statistics, for teaching this was really helpful because when students were first exposed to a new concept they didn't need to get a codebook, fix the data. For the purpose of teaching applied statistics, it's a good book.
Best Javascript programming book I read this year
I read a lot of Javascript books and found many of them interesting and useful, so this was a hard choice.
The jQuery cookbook, edited by Cody Lindley
was my favorite. If you haven't gathered by now, I'm fond of learning by example, and this book is pretty much nothing but elaborate examples along the lines of , "Say you wanted to make every other row in a table green". There are some like that I can imagine wanting to do and others I cannot think of any need to use ever. However, those are famous last words. When I was in high school, I couldn't imagine I would ever use the matrix algebra we were learning.
Best game programming book I read this year
Again, I read a lot of game programming books. I didn't read a lot of mediocre game programming books. They all were either pretty good or sucked. The best of the good ones was difficult to choose, but I did
Building HTML5 Games by Jesse Freeman
This is a very hands-on approach to building 2-D games with impact, with, you guessed it, plenty of examples. I was excited to learn that he has several other books out. I'm going to read all of them next year.
So, there you have it …. my favorite technical books that I read this year. Feel free to make suggestions for what I ought to read next year.
One of the studies cited in Sheryl Sandberg's book, Lean In, that really resonated with me was the one that said we judge women in the work place based on their accomplishments but men on their potential.
Women are judged on accomplishments, Men on potential.
This phenomena is one of the (many) reasons the whole bewailing the lack of women in tech rubs me the wrong way.
Methinks you all protest too much.
While the main tenet of Sandberg's book is that women need to do more – raise their hands, speak up – she seems to gloss over a little the reasons women do not. I am not disagreeing with her, nor am I accusing her of ignoring barriers. I just think with her privileged background she does not see them as clearly and personally as I do.
Let's take the Heidi/ Howard study, one of a dozens of similar analyses – where subjects are given identical resumes but with names of either Heidi or Howard. Although they are identical on paper and the judges have never met them (because they don't actually exist!), they are significantly more likely to rate Howard as someone they would hire compared to Heidi.
Let that sink in a moment – even when men and women have identical accomplishments, people are more likely to hire a man. This is the exact opposite of affirmative action.
While we hear a lot about how women's own lower expectations hold them back – they are less likely to aspire to the C-suite, less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet 100% of the qualifications, less likely to assume they can just "learn on the job" – we hear very little about why women might have these expectations.
In fact, from the research Sandberg and others cite, it appears their lower expectations are a realistic assessment. I am the last person in the world to say that we should ACCEPT those barriers to women, but accepting them and denying they exist are two different animals.
In my case, now add being female to being Hispanic and way over 30. This is in an environment that calls itself a meritocracy but still feels it is perfectly acceptable to say that anyone over 32 is too old to start a company. Evidence of ageism in Silicon Valley is not hard to find.
Yet, we continually blame those "others", who are not white or Asian, not male, not under 30, didn't drop out of Stanford or Harvard for not having the qualifications, for not leaning in or for 'choosing a lifestyle that includes family'.
I call bullshit on all of this.
Want to hear some accomplishments? I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis at age 19. Then I went on to an MBA at the University of Minnesota which I chose because it had an outstanding judo team in the area. I finished my MBA at 21. By 26 I had become the first American to win the world judo championships, while working full-time as an engineer at General Dynamics. I also had my first child. By 31 I finished another masters and Ph.D. , wrote my first computer game to teach math, dropped that idea since computer games were mostly text-based and started my first statistical consulting company. Over the next 25 years, I founded or co-founded three more companies, received tens of millions of dollars in grant funding, wrote a dozen articles for scientific journals, wrote a few book chapters, presented at so many technical conferences that I have lost track on everything from logistic regression to analysis of data from non-random stratified surveys to effectiveness of blended instruction methods with non-traditional students.
When I wanted to start a company to make educational games, no investors, incubators or accelerators were interested, so I went out and obtained around $600,000 through grant-funding, Kickstarter and now sales of our first game.
This article by Carlos Bueno on the clique of the tech industry describes our experiences to a T.
Even with traction, a product on the market, we didn't see any interest from investors or accelerators so we went ahead and developed a second game, due for release next month, and we are just starting on our third game. We also applied for another grant, which is under review, and we are planning a Kickstarter campaign for early next year. One reason we do all of this is because I KNOW that our company will be judged on accomplishments instead of potential.
Tell me what you do in 30 seconds or I'm moving on.
Our first prototype of our first game needed SO much additional work. They all do. We made hundreds of improvements and all of those went into our second game. That second game is much better than the first and that pretty much always happens, too.Our next games are web and mobile apps. We had reasons for doing it this way. One is that we started out working with schools where we had connections and they did not have iPads and they weren't in Silicon Valley. They were on Indian reservations in North Dakota and in low-income communities in southern California. Thanks to the support from these institutions we were able to collect data on market needs and effectiveness.I could tell it all to you in two minutes, but I often see people shutting down before I even start talking. I don't look or dress like Mark Zuckerberg. If anything, I look like Mark Zuckerberg's maid, or maybe the person that checks him in at the hotel. It is all my own fault, of course, because I have been known to wear a suit.
Being successful is personal to me.
I intend to prove that we can make games that are fun to play for any age and that make you smarter. I intend to prove that you can make a lot of money meeting real needs for the vast majority of people, not just making sites where people post pictures of how wasted they got last night, but that actually improve their lives.
I understand completely those women who "give up", "lower their expectations" because they are told directly and indirectly 100 times a day that they are not the chosen ones. Who do they think they are? Their game design has flaws. They are using Unity 3D instead of (insert anything else here) , they are not creating a multi-player game, they need a warm introduction to a venture capitalist. No matter how qualified you are, there will be a base you haven't covered, a programming language you haven't learned, some reason that you aren't qualified. Basically, this is our table in the lunchroom and you can't sit with us.
This may make me sound crabby and grinch-like but it is the opposite, because it is personal and I am going to succeed.
Just watch me.

(There may even be a part two, if I get around to it.)
Let me ask you a couple of questions:
1. Do you have more than just one dependent variable and one independent variable?
2. If you said, yes, do you have a CATEGORICAL or ORDINAL dependent variable? If so, use logistic regression. I have written several posts on it. You can find a list of them here. Some involve Euclid, marriage, SAS and SPSS. Alas, none involve a naked mole rat. I shall have to remedy that.
3. You said yes to #1, multiple variables, but no to number 2, so I am assuming you have multiple variables in your design and your dependent variable is interval or continuous, something like sales for the month of December, average annual temperature or IQ. The next question is do you have only ONE dependent variable and is it measured only ONCE per observation? For example, you have measured average annual temperature of each city in 2013 or sales in December , 2012. In this case, you would do either Analysis of Variance or multiple regression. It doesn't matter much which you do if you code it correctly. Both are specific cases of the general linear model and will give you the same result. You may also want to do a general linear MIXED model, where you have city as a random effect and something else, say, whether the administration was Democratic or Republican as a fixed effect. In this case I assume that you have sales as your dependent variable because contrary to the beliefs of some extremists, political parties do not determine the weather. Generally, whether you use a mixed model or an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) plain vanilla ANOVA or regression will not have a dramatic impact on your results unless the result is a grade in a course where the professor REALLY wants you to show that you know that school is a random effect when comparing curricula.
4. Still here? I'm guessing you have one of two other common designs. That is, you have measured the same subjects, stores, cities, whatever, more than once. Most commonly, it is the good old pretest posttest design and you have an experimental and control group. You want to know if it works. If you have only tested your people twice, you are perfectly fine with a repeated measures ANOVA. If you have tested them more than twice, you are very likely to have grossly violated the assumption of compound symmetry and I would recommend a mixed model.
5. All righty then, you DO have multiple variables, they are NOT categorical or ordinal, your dependent variable is NOT repeated, so you must have multiple dependent variables. In that case, you would do a multivariate Analysis of Variance.
Some might argue that logistic regression is not a multivariate design. Other people would argue with them that, assuming your data are multinomial, you need multiple logit functions so that really is a type of multivariate design. A third group of people would say it is multivariate in the ordinal or multinomial case because there are multiple possible outcomes.
Personally, I wonder about all of those types of people. I wonder about the amount of time in higher education spent in forcing students to learn answers to questions that have no real use or purpose as far as I can see.
On the other hand, while knowing whether something falls in the multivariate category or not probably won't impact your life or analyses, if you treat time as an independent variable and analyze your repeated measures ANOVA with experiment and condition as a 2 x 2 ANOVA, you're screwed.
Know your research designs.

There may come a day (shudder) when I am called upon to find what my mother refers to as "a real job". I'm not sure how I would go about it. For the past 30 years, here is how my career has gone.
- I was walking in the door at the university where I had dropped in to visit a friend. A professor I'd known as a student years ago was walking out the other door. She said, "Hey, AnnMaria, I need a statistical consultant. Are you available?"
- I was walking in the door of my obstetrician's office when I ran into someone else I had known years ago. She had been seeing another doctor in the same office. She said, "Hey, I just got a grant and need a statistician."
- I was bored one day and applied for a job on Dice.com. They called up, interviewed me and hired me.
- I was bored one day and applied for a job I saw advertised in the Chronicle of Higher Ed. They interviewed me and hired me.
I think one can clearly detect a pattern here, mainly that I should spend more time walking in doors to buildings.
When getting a new job, I've generally been in the work equivalent of "married but looking". I know that sounds horrible but what I mean is that I have had a job that I was considering getting out of, but I didn't necessarily want the people at the job to know that.
This problem is common to people in any field, but I think those in analytic jobs have another problem.
Enter analyst finder. This is the new company started by Art Tabachneck of SAS fame. If you've been using SAS for any length of time at all, you've run across his papers and if you live in Canada and drive a car you have been affected by his work. He uses SAS to set automobile insurance rates.
I checked out the site and it takes less than 15 minutes to fill out a form to be included in their data base. The really cool thing is that it asks about so many areas of expertise – what industries you have had experience, are you familiar with SAS, SQL, ANCOVA … it is a very, very long list – but you can just check off the boxes that apply to you.
If I was actually looking for a job, I might have spent a little time filling in the "essay questions" that allow you to expand on your credentials as well.
How it works
Currently, Art is compiling a database of analysts. Once this is of reasonable size, employers will be able, for a very modest fee – around $300 – to submit position descriptions. Analysts who match those descriptions will be contacted and asked if they are interested. The 20 names with the closest match who have expressed interest will be sent to the employer with contact information.
As an employer, it sounds like a great service. If I'm ever in the market for a "real job", as an employee, it's the first place I would hit up.
So … go check it out. It's totally free to analysts, which is very broadly defined. If you're interested, download the form, fill it out and send it back.
It's a more scientific method for running around the city walking through doors hoping you run into someone who offers you a job.
Speaking of which, I need to be walking in the door of my office in less than 8 hours, so I guess I'll call it a night.
This Chart Should Bother You
Filed Under computer games, Dr. De Mars General Life Ramblings | 1 Comment
This is the most depressing chart I have seen in a long time. Below are the results of our pretest on knowledge of fraction operations of 322 students in grades 3 through 7, attending schools on and adjacent to American Indian reservations.
These are questions like,
"Drag 6/1 to the correct spot on the number line."
Which was one of only two questions that at least 50% of the children answered correctly.
Identify the letter that marks 7/8 on a number line
14% of the children answered that right.
Then there are the word problems,
"Bob and Ted painted a wall. Bob painted 1/5 of the wall and Ted painted 2/5 of the wall. How much of the wall is left to paint?"
38% of the children answered that correctly.
Looks like they did better on item 7, which asks which of these statements is true
5/6 < 3/4
2/8 < 1/4
3/6 = 6/12
2/3 = 4/5
26% of them got that correct. Guess what? That was one of the few multiple choice items on the test, so random guessing would have gotten it correct 25% of the time.
This is a test of what is ostensibly third- through fifth-grade math. Two-thirds of the test is at the fourth-grade level or below. As our results indicate, the majority of the students who took the test would not understand what that statement means.
For the 163 fifth-graders who took our pretest, the mean score was 28%.
For the 114 fourth-graders, the mean was a dismal 14.7%.
It wasn't that the students didn't try. I looked and there were very few places they left the items blank. They simply did not know.
These students came from several different schools, and while there may be differences between schools, there is nothing to suggest one school with abysmal results pulled down all of the others.
I called our lead cultural consultant, Dr. Erich Longie, out at Spirit Lake, and told him that I was concerned about presenting these results to the schools that they might want to shoot the messenger. After all, it is important to us that these schools continue to provide us their input and guidance. He told me not to worry about it too much.
"They know," he told me, "As someone who has been a teacher and administrator in schools on the reservations, I'm not surprised by the results and I can't imagine these schools will be, either. What we all ought to be worried about is making sure that the post-test scores don't look like this."
So … students will start playing Fish Lake in the schools next month. No pressure here.
Excuse me while I get back to work.
How not to get your ass fired: Part 1
Filed Under Dr. De Mars General Life Ramblings, Mama AnnMaria | Leave a Comment
I was going to call this new category for my blog
"Mama AnnMaria's advice on not getting your ass fired" but it turned out to be too long to fit in the box.
It may surprise young people in the work place to find out that people who admit to having screwed up are often valued more as employees than those who are blameless.
Who cares whose fault it is?
One of the things that drives me crazy is when the first thing (and sometimes the second and third thing) an employee does in response to a problem is to find proof that it was not his or her fault. There are a whole lot of reasons why this is stupid, bad and will eventually get your ass fired.
Are you exclaiming.
What? Why would you fire the one person who never makes a mistake?
Well, for starters, you are clearly delusional. Everybody makes mistakes so if you are convinced you NEVER make mistakes, it is never your fault, then you have a tenuous grasp on reality that you may suddenly lose one day and begin mowing down your co-workers with an Uzi, convinced that they are evil demon zombies out to eat your non-mistake-making perfect brain. As a responsible employer, I cannot take that chance.
Next is the fact that you are wasting time and energy. You could have found the missing data and gotten it to Dr. Cflange. Instead, you put your effort into finding that email from seven months ago where Bob said we didn't need to worry about sending the data to Dr. Cflange to prove that it wasn't your fault that the data was not sent to our collaborator, after all, Bob told you not to bother. So, here we are, three hours later and Dr. C still hasn't gotten the data. Besides, the fact that Bob told you that seven months ago when Dr. Cflange was in Uzbekistan does not absolve you of responsibility of sending out that data any time until the end of the world. Plus, Bob hates you now.
Which brings me to my next point – if you are always claiming you are blameless, then by implication, you are blaming someone else. Your boss is not stupid.
It's like that time when my mom came home and the front window was broken. She asked what happened and we all swore up and down that we had nothing to do with it. She asked,
"So, you were all just standing around and the glass just fell out of the window?"
We all swore that yes, it had happened exactly like that.
(Mom, if you are reading this, it wasn't me that pushed one of the Slattery boys into the window. Just so you know.)
Unlike me, who did not throw said sibling under the bus, if you are pointing at Bob and saying,
"It was him, it's his fault, not me!"
Then, guess how likely Bob is to be inclined to help you out in the future. So … people who are always blaming everyone around them are not going to have as good teamwork with their co-workers.
Listen carefully here, because this next part is really important. Let's assume the people you work with are not idiots, that there is a reason you are working for them instead of them working for you. Let's call that reason -"experience". Not being idiots, your bosses realize that everyone makes mistakes.
Employers are not looking for people who never make mistakes. Those people don't exist. They are looking for people who can fix problems.
Final two reasons never taking responsibility for any mistake is going to eventually get your ass fired –
If every time an issue comes up it's like an argument before the Supreme Court to get you to address it because you are so involved in gathering your evidence why it was not your fault, eventually people will quit pointing out problems to you because it's just not worth the hassle.
If you never believe that any problem is your fault, then you will never get any better at preventing them, because none of the problems that occur have anything to do with you.
The most impressive interactions I have with employees often begin like this:
"That was my mistake that X happened. I would like to take the responsibility of fixing it by doing Y."
Those people are probably never going to get their asses fired.
Now you know. Act accordingly.
What if you wanted to turn your PROC MIXED into a repeated measures ANOVA using PROC GLM. Why would you want to do this? Well, I don't know why you would want to do it but I wanted to do it because I wanted to demonstrate for my class that both give you the same fixed effects F value and significance.
I started out with the Statin dataset from the Cody and Smith textbook. In this data set, each subject has three records,one each for drugs A, B and C. To do a mixed model with subject as a random effect and drug as a fixed effect, you would code it as so. Remember to include both the subject variable and your fixed effect in the CLASS statement.
Proc mixed data = statin ;
class subj drug ;
model ldl = drug ;
random subj ;
To do a repeated measures ANOVA with PROC GLM you need three variables for each subject, not three records.
First, create three data sets for Drug A, Drug B and Drug C.
Data one two three ;
set statin ;
if drug = 'A' then output one ;
else if drug = 'B' then output two ;
else if drug = 'C' then output three ;
Second, sort these datasets and as you read in each one, rename LDL to a new name so that when you merge the datasets you have three different names. Yes, I really only needed to rename two of them, but I figured it was just neater this way.
proc sort data = one (rename= (ldl =ldla)) ;
by subj ;
proc sort data= two (rename = (ldl = ldlb)) ;
by subj ;
proc sort data=three (rename =(ldl = ldlc)) ;
by subj ;
Third, merge the three datasets by subject.
data mrg ;
merge one two three ;
by subj ;
Fourth, run your repeated measures ANOVA .
Your three times measuring LDL are the dependent . It seems weird to not have an independent on the other side of the equation, but that's the way it is. In your REPEATED statement you give a name for the repeated variable and the number of levels. I used "drug" here to be consistent but actually, this could be any name at all. I could have used "frog" or "rutabaga" instead and it would have worked just as well.
proc glm data = mrg ;
model ldla ldlb ldlc = /nouni ;
repeated drug 3 (1 2 3) ;
run ;
Now you can be happy.
