9/30/2011 Targeting Evolution – Gen3.0• LLS models continue to be redeveloped to keep current and the approach refined to gain incremental lift.• Gen3.0 segments out prior contacts from non‐prior and also urbanicity. Promotion history as a predictor is removed and used outside of the model to remove bias that comes from having it in the model.• In head to head testing Gen3.0 is winning over Gen2.0 in 5 out of 7 campaigns and driving an incremental 6% improvement on average over an already strong Gen2.0 model. Modeling Approach Gen1.0 – Gen3.0 40 UK Predictive Modeling Solution • We developed a Modeling System consisting of multiple Customer Clone and Response Models to support Life Line's UK business • Detailed analysis of the promotion history revealed that two separate response models were needed (Prior and No Prior) given the large performance differences between the two contact strategy segments • All of the models performed well and will provide a steady stream of high performing target prospects going forward 41UK Modeling and Selection Leveraging the learnings from the US: UK Models 1. A customer clone model is used to eliminate 50‐75 year olds who do National Canvas 50‐75 yr olds not look like current Life Line customer customers Customer Clone Model 2. Prospects are then separated between those who received an offer from Life Line in the past 12 Priors No‐Priors months vs. those who did not Response Response Model Model 3. Segment‐specific response models are used to improve identification of prospects with prior and no Optimization Algorithm To prior contacts Combine The Predictive Models 42 14
9/30/2011 UK Segmented Model – Summary • Modeling process identified the characteristics among each segment that best defined the responders • Predictors of response for households without prior contact: • Have a shorter length of residence • Pay higher property tax • Shorter distance to the screening location • Reside in areas of higher concentration of existing Life Line UK customers • Predictors of response for households with prior contact: • Number of individual promotions received over previous 12 months (the fewer the better) • Reside in an area where others have responded to a past campaign • Households that place orders by mail and the amount of the order • Donate to charity • Have a shorter length of residence 43 UK Results UK Results• Prospects identified through the Segmented Models yielded up to 62% improvement in performance relative to campaign average• Merkle and Life Line Teams are working on the next generation segmented models to further increase the response performance 44 Trish Mathe firstname.lastname@example.com Ozgur Dogan email@example.com 15

Recent Anaheim reviews
"We had such a great experience staying in this home! The rooms were comfortable and cozy. Everyone in the family had their own space and felt at home. The kitchen was amazing! We made a couple of dinners in the home and had all the kitchen tools we needed. There was even a waffle maker to make breakfast one morning! We would definitely stay at this home again. We had the pool heated and it was perfect! There was also a game room that the boys had a blast in playing ping pong and air hockey. I recommend this home to anyone with a family. We did not have any small children, but there were tons of toys and even a play shed in the backyard. The house was also super close to Disney. We ended up taking Uber and it was under 10 dollars each way. Thanks for everything!! :)"Guest: Lexie Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 3, 2015View listing
"My family (of 7) and I really enjoyed this rental so much! We had everything we needed and more (strollers, snacks, cable, wifi, pool, beach towels)! It was beautifully decorated but also accommodating to each person. Britta did everything to make us feel at home. We will definitely be back soon!"Guest: AnaLR Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 20, 2015View listing
"This property was perfect. The walk to the parks was very easy, maybe five minutes to Downtown Disney. Ted, Nancy and Amy were really attentive, wanting our trip to be magical. The condo was just remodeled and looked just like the pictures on the Internet. We were driving home when my husband remembered he left an expensive watch back at the condo. We called and spoke to Nancy and I am glad to report the watch is in the mail as I write this review. I would highly recommend this condo to everyone. Thank you Ted, Nancy and Amy everything was wonderful."Guest: Shelly R. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: May 19, 2015View listing

800 MILLION views for Sia's 'Chandelier' video on YouTube! #RoadTo1Billion http://youtu.be/2vjPBrBU-TM Posted 26 days ago
|more sia polls >>
|more sia answers >>
Do you know the song "We are One (Ole Ola) "? or "Diamonds"? Sia helped to write the two. Sia Furler is a music writer, musician, and an Australian singer. Some of her most popular recent songs are "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart" from her new album, "1000 forms of Fear" her most popular album by far. Sia also is known for being very humble and shy. I like Sia's music because she has a very delicate and pretty voice. She also has a very large range and in concerts is almost always at the correct pitch and harmonizes very well. She has written songs for lots of movies and other celebrities and...
If you guys haven't heard of Oh Land, she is a phenomenal artist. She reminds me a lot of Sia and Bjork, but she has her own unique style that makes her very different. She is playing at Bowery from March 29 - April 1st. I've seen her perform live numerous times, and it was great.
The stories of her life that she's wrapped in fairytales and fables all swirl around the dreamy landscapes of a land called Oh Land. Bringing her album release full circle, the spritely songstress is embarking on a journey to re-create a world representative of the songs and persona she's become.
We're Concert Live! and we are so excited to announce that Sia has asked us to record three dates of her European leg: Copenhagen, Berlin and London. We will be recording all three gigs live with her on the night. You will be able to get these brilliant CDs straight after the shows (you can pre-order online) so that you can listen to the spectacular gig you have just been to straight after the last note has been played. At the concerts, Sia will perform a number of songs of her forthcoming album "We Are Born" as well as older tracks. She has designed the entire art work on the CDs and...

(July 18, 2015)
Eight-time ARIA Award winner Sia was nominated in the Best Female Video category for 'Electric Heart', which features 'Chandelier' video star Maddie Ziegler and actor Shia LaBeouf.
A new track with the vocals of Sia was exclusively premiered during episode 11th of Major Lazer's season one of their animated series on June 25th.

The spa team isn't just concerned with muscles, though. They also tend to visages, with facials geared towards brightening, calming, or firming complexions.

Cardinals Reliever Boggs Will Be A Valuable Asset For Team USA in WBC
St. Louis Cardinals reliever Mitchell Boggs had by far the best season of his career in 2012, going 4-1 with a 2.21 ERA and made a career-high 78 appearances. Boggs' incredible season did not go unnoticed, as he was selected by manager Joe Torre to be a member of the bullpen for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.
Boggs was very happy to be recognized, saying, "I feel like being a part of the team is kind of recognition of how well I pitched last year. If I don't do what I did, I'm not even in the conversation," he said on Thursday. "I almost feel like I started my career last year."
"The few years before that I was just kind of there. I felt like coming into last year I had a decision – I could continue to be that guy where I floated around and pitched in a lot of different roles, or I could take the next step and be the guy I thought I could be."
Boggs could not have transitioned from an average reliever to a member of Team USA without the emergence of his slider as his go-to pitch. In 2011, only 54 percent of the sliders that Boggs threw were for strikes. However, he saw that number jump up to 63.4 percent last year. This added control was a big part of the success that Boggs had in 2012.
In 2011, Boggs' slider was a run below average, but in 2012, the pitch was 10 runs above average, good for fifth among all MLB relievers. Boggs also carried his success into the playoffs last year, throwing 7.2 innings and only allowing two earned runs.
Boggs will be given a chance show that he is one the best relievers in the game on an international stage, as he will be a key part of the bullpen for Team USA in the WBC.

Drought May Stunt Forests' Ability to Capture Carbon

Boys Like Girls New Album
Also, what's with all the garbage in the news today?
That's a great video, andcas.
Will do. I'm liking this guy's attitude.
Agreed, another great video.
People shit on Buddy all the time for not being a very good singer, especially live and stuff. And I can somewhat agree he is an acquired taste but... he's definitely one of my favorite vocalists that does sing/scream if not my favorite.
Agreed. Ive always thought even since the early EP that his lyrics and brutal honesty both are amazing
band is terrible
oh and buddy rules
To be honest I think the Boys Like Girls guy is right and Senses Fail have had no impact on music. Although I'm not exactly sure what he means by that or if maybe that's just setting the expectations to high.
But anyways... I don't know why I'm here. Oh yeah my sister likes Boys Like Girls and I mean she's a teenage girl so she probably should.
The only Senses Fail song I've heard was the one on Guitar Hero and it was pretty fucking terrible but I mean it was better than the ATL song I've heard.
This reminds me of that time the Dance Gavin Dance drummer said all the warped Tour bands were fucking dreadful, and I mean yeah he was right, but he's in fucking Dance Gavin Dance.
So wait why the fuck did I spend so much fucking time on this. Shit I've gotta get a job. Or kill myself I guess.
a pop punk thread without andcas is like metal without riffs
keep it cool brother
wannabe pop punk it is
even worse
Like they're popular I'm sure they've influenced some shitty bands but by impact on music I'm thinking of being like touchstone for a some kind of movement or something. Like 30 years later artists will still be citing them as important and relevatory and shit. I'm not sure I see that happening but hell I could be wrong, all I know about SF is that they were pretty big back in like '06 and I guess they were better than other like bands of that time but shit I don't know.
Album will very likely suck. I loved the first one though.
i'm not a huge fan of senses fail but after watching those videos i love the vocalist.
omg so hungry for spaghetti
you should definitely kill yourself for saying SF have had no impact. [2]
lol oh.
Yeah I don't know why you would say a band has to be remembered 30 years from now to have impacted music. But regardless if I live to be 53 then SF will be remembered. It's all about impacting people's personal beings, and i'm pretty sure SF > BLG in that regard.
SF > BLG in every regard.

Stephenson County Museum exhibit details growth of Freeport
Online Staff Report
FREEPORT, Ill. — The changes and growth in Freeport and Stephenson County will be highlighted in a new exhibit opening at the Stephenson County Museum June 20.
"A Century of Maps: Freeport and Stephenson County, 1870s to 1970s" will run until Aug. 5. Admission to the exhibit is part of the regular tour of the museum's four buildings.
Plat books of Stephenson County from 1871, 1894 and 1913 will be on display, along with a set of 1899 Illinois Central Railroad maps of Freeport.
Highly detailed maps of Freeport created by the Sanborn Map Company of Chicago for use by insurance underwriters will be available for examination.
Other early maps of Freeport are also included in the exhibition. Early tools used by surveyors, including a Gunther's Chain, are part of the exhibit.
Exhibit curator, Dr. Edward Finch, noted: "We learn much about how our county grew by examining maps from across time. Names of roads and streets changed, as did the locations of some roads. The growth of towns and the ownership of property are all recorded on these early maps."
Stephenson County Museum, 1440 S. Carroll Ave., Freeport, Ill., is open from noon to 4 p.m., Wednesdays to Sundays. Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for children as old as 12. Society members receive free admission. The museum can be reached at (815) 232-8419.

Peter Fury: 'Haye Bottled It With Tyson'
After David Haye twice signed to fight Tyson Fury and twice pulled out on him in 2013, citing injury, it left the giant Mancunian high and dry. Having put himself through two costly training camps ostensibly for nothing , Fury was left certain of one thing. NEVER would he deal with David Haye again.
Three years ago was the last time Haye stepped between the ropes at a rain soaked Upton Park, knocking out Dereck Chisora in 5 rounds – it followed their notorious brawl at the post-fight presser for Chisora's challenge against Vitali Klitschko – and ever since that day, Haye has been popping up here and there on various quiz shows and reality TV programme's, seemingly in an attempt to keep his name in the limelight. Continue reading
If Berto Gets Floyd Fight, I'll Prepare Him To Win It Says Virgil Hunter
Many fans and writers alike weren't really too sure what to make of Floyd Mayweather's recent comments about wanting to fight Andre Berto or relative unknown Karim Mayfield for what is ostensibly his 'final' fight in September. Was he serious or just being facetious? Simply mocking the media in attendance who hang on his every word while all along actually laughing AT them?
Probably, was my guess, especially as he chose guys associated or once associated with trainer Virgil Hunter – who now also trains the man most desperate for the Floyd fight – Britain's Amir Khan. Continue reading
Wolgast, Rivers and the double knockout drama
By Mike Dunn: One of the most controversial title fights took place on the Fourth of July, 1912, in Vernon, Calif., near Los Angeles. Popular local favorite Mexican Joe Rivers – who wasn't Mexican at all but a fourth-generation Californian of Spanish-Native American descent whose real name was Jose Ybarra – challenged rugged lightweight champ Ad Wolgast in a fight that would forever be known for the rarest of all fistic occurrences – a double knockout – and for the subsequent shocking actions of the ref enabling Wolgast to retain the title.
Rivers was a formidable challenger, having dispatched of both Johnny Kilbane (KO 16) and Frank Conley (KO 12) to earn his shot at the crown in the open-air Vernon Arena before 11,000 witnesses that hot Independence Day. Continue reading
Hatton Backing Flanagan To Win World Title Against Zepeda
In 9 days time, "Turbo" Terry Flanagan will square off against big punching American knockout artist Jose Zepeda in Manchester for the WBO 135 lb title, live on Boxnation in the UK.
Scots Ken Buchanan, Jim Watt and Ricky Burns have held versions of the world 135 lb title, yet should Flanagan prevail he will become the first English fighter to do so.
Terry – who hails from Ancoats – is being backed by former world champion and fellow Mancunian Ricky Hatton, who is confident he can do the business in front of his hometown fans on July 11th. Continue reading
It's Not Over Yet Says Bernard Hopkins / Targeting 168 ?
His list of accomplishments as a fighter is long and voluminous, and for many fans, the punishment he sustained last November against "The Krusher" Sergey Kovalev should have been enough for the now 50 year old Bernard Hopkins to say enough is enough – and finally walk away from the ring.
Yet, the future Hall of Famer has insisted to Fox Sports that he still has something left to give;
"Unlike my business partner Oscar De La Hoya, I'll be confirming that I'm not retired. I'm looking to make one more historical, meaningful fight before I close out my 27 year career." Continue reading
Kevin Mitchell To Get Possible Shot At Redemption Against Jorge Linares?
Going into his world title challenge on May 30th against Venezuelan champion Jorge Linares, likable Dagenham lightweight Kevin Mitchell had to convince a lot of people that he really could perform when it was all on the line. After disappointing and emphatic stoppage losses in prior world title challenges on the big stage – against Michael Katsidis for an interim strap in 2010 and then again 2 years later against Ricky Burns – there were still serious questions about the Londoner's desire and commitment, despite his career rejuvenation under the Matchroom promotional banner over the last couple of years.
Those questions were answered by a lion-hearted Mitchell in a thrilling fight in which both men touched down – however Linares would be the man to eventually prevail, securing a 10th round stoppage, aided in part by a horrific eye swelling that had blighted Mitchell's face. Continue reading
Golovkin thinks Mayweather and Froch are dodging him
WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) is aiming high for his next fight in 2015. He wants Floyd Mayweather Jr., Carl Froch, Miguel Cotto or Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. Unfortunately, what Golovkin wants and what he'll get our two different things. Golovkin believes that Froch and Mayweather are ducking a fight against him by making excuses for why they can't get inside the ring to face him.
Mayweather said he can't fight Golovkin because he's near the end of his career. That probably means it's too dangerous of a fight for him right now. Froch says that Golovkin wants a catch-weight in order for him to fight him. Golovkin's promoter Tom Loeffler refutes that notion, saying that they have never asked for a catch-weight for a fight against Froch. They'll fight him at 168. So who do you believe? Continue reading
Eddie Hearn: Anthony Joshua v Dillian Whyte Is Inevitable
After the 2 fighters once again began trading barbs over twitter yesterday, and a host of fight fans began chucking in their two cents, Matchroom Boxing chief Eddie Hearn was forced to publicly intervene, thus giving his clearest indication yet that the big domestic heavyweight clash between rising star Anthony Joshua and Brixton's Dillian Whyte is firmly on his radar for later this year.
After tweeting that he would allow the two undefeated prospects to go at it in the ring, Hearn has today given an interview with Sky Sports in which he says he is eyeing November or December for the clash – a fight he refers to as "inevitable". Continue reading
Thurman: "Looking Forward To The Future"
WBA (reg) welterweight champion Keith Thurman headlined the inaugural PBC card on NBC back in March, and on July 11th he will headline the debut PBC on ESPN card when he faces New York southpaw Luis Collazo live from the USF Sundome in Tampa, FL – in what is said to be another crucial step in Thurman's quest to be a breakout boxing star of the future.
Speaking at a conference call to promote the fight via fighthubtv, undefeated Thurman, who defends the strap he won against Robert Guerrero 4 months ago, said he plans on continuing in his current vein and is constantly learning new things about the sport. Continue reading
Pacquiao Should Not Return This Year Says Arum
For many fight fans, May 2nd, the rotator cuff saga and the ensuing controversy now seems something of a distant memory, so much has happened since.
With Floyd Mayweather making plans for September, the future of Manny Pacquiao is still relatively uncertain – yet in his latest chat with fighthubtv, the Filipino star's promoter Bob Arum has offered his two pennies worth on the situation surrounding his fighter – reaffirming his belief that while it is now 'possible' Pacquiao could make a ring return later this year – as promoter, it's something he would advise against.
