(Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)Former Cleveland Cavaliers center Andrew Bynum has reportedly drawn interest from eight NBA teams, according to a tweet Wednesday from ESPN's Chris Broussard.The full list of teams interested in the former All-Star's services is not known. As previously reported, Broussard said the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Clippers remain in the mix to land the big man. Sean Deveney of Sporting News reported that the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets are also expected to reach out to Bynum, but that the Indiana Pacers, despite being a contender and perhaps a team that would be of interest to Bynum, have no interest in the 26-year-old. Bynum cannot sign with a team until he clears waivers on Thursday.SI WIRE: Report: NBA approves $5.25 million Disabled Player Exception for NetsThe former NBA champion was traded to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday in a cap-clearing move. He was waived by Chicago less than 24 hours later. The Bulls don't have to pay the $6.3 million remaining on his $12.3 million partially guaranteed contract.As Broussard points out, playing time, the ability to win a championship this season and money will all be factors in Bynum's decision of where to sign next. If he goes to a contender, such as the Miami Heat, it will likely be on a veterans minimum contract.SI EXTRA MUSTARD: Ray Allen Wants To Do 'He Got Game 2'I'm told 8 teams are interested in signing A Bynum, most notably Heat & Clips. Playing time, contender status & $ all factors in decision. — Chris Broussard (@Chris_Broussard) January 8, 2014 Promoted Stories Comments

Fight Aficionado
I've always found Paulie's fights interesting to watch for a guy with no punch. He's a natural entertainer. But his lack of firepower has always been his achilles heel as we saw against Cotto and Hatton. Broner should win this by TKO.Posted June 21, 2013 5:30 pm
flash knock down
I love Paulie he has gotten the most out of what he has. Paulie is a good little boxer with a lot of heart. That being said he is fighting this ghetto kid who is hell bent on making a name for him self at all cost. Broner is a really good fighter maybe Paulie will give him something to think about then we will see who Broner really is. I have Broner winning this fight because Paulie will not be able to hurt Broner after the first round.Posted June 21, 2013 3:19 pm

Steven Espinosa is a Golden Boy puppet who should be worried about his job. Calling Malignaggi/Broner a 50/50 fight is crazy and Steve knows Al Haymon forced his hand.Posted June 21, 2013 2:46 pm
BRONERPosted June 21, 2013 1:42 pm
Gotta to love Paulie…great trash talker, but Broner is going to whoop his ass tomorrow night and we all know it. But let's hope that the fight is as entertaining as the trash talking has been over the past few weeks.Posted June 21, 2013 1:05 pm
broner is like a annoying little kid, dam stupid. I feel sorry for malignaggi.
Broner looks like that shyt stain that's difficult to remove after a big crapPosted June 21, 2013 10:23 am
I think that Broner is seriously overhyped but Paulie whilst a cracking guy with a massive heart is overmatched in this one and could get KO'ed.Posted June 21, 2013 9:20 am
Win or lose gotta say Paulie is confident. Not a fan of either one but expect a fight that should answer a lot of questions. Kinda pulling for Paulie to expose this kid because I too believe he is a little overhyped. Pretty easy to hit in several fights to be such a masterful boxer.Posted June 21, 2013 8:57 am
Hey ugliness maybe an advantage, Floyd is still undefeated.Posted June 21, 2013 4:11 am
Broner looks like one of those dogs with long ears. He's extremely uglyPosted June 21, 2013 4:01 am
Ugh: I'm 99% you're uglier than what most people would consider Broner. You can deny it.. and I don't know who you actually are behind those three letters, but when you look at yourself in the mirror I'm sure you see and realize that. Goodnight.Posted June 21, 2013 3:21 am
Broner has got RIGHT under Paulies skin lolPosted June 21, 2013 3:10 am
Hatton and Khan beat him pretty convincingly if you ask me, what's that clown going on about- shadupPosted June 21, 2013 3:02 am
Paulie has lost every big fight he had. Those useless bums that got KO'd by Paulie must have quit boxing years ago. Paulie has no business owning a title and AB will make sure of that.Posted June 21, 2013 2:05 am

I did quite like the point Malignaggi made about getting his title shot against the caliber of Miguel Cotto whereas Broner got his aganist Vicente Rodriguez. It does go to show that some boxers will become world champs and multi weight world champs having beat mediocre competition whereas other boxers have to make it via a much harder path.Posted June 20, 2013 10:23 pm
"He's always been a D class fighter." That's hardly true, hecdog. Class D fighters don't win world titles.Posted June 20, 2013 10:14 pm

Too many a-holes talking.Posted June 20, 2013 10:07 pm
This could be an entertaining fight. Broner is untested at welterweight and Paulie has been in with (and lost to) the best.Posted June 20, 2013 9:43 pm
If he does hurt broner or hit him hard enough to get respect broner will steam roll him. Everytime paulie steps up he loses. Saturday he will lose! How bad? We will see!Posted June 20, 2013 8:56 pm
No excuses for Malignaggi. He never had power in the amateurs either. He has two hands not just one. All boxers hurt and break their hands, Malignaggi is a decent boxer that never had power, ran his big mouth and never beat anyone of high caliber. He's always been a D class fighter. And on Saturday, as he's done throughout his amateur and professional carer, he will receive another loss, and this time it will be in his own home town. He will take a beating and the fight will be stopped in the later rounds. Simply the truth. Watch and see Saturday.Posted June 20, 2013 8:06 pm
Paulie will be stopped around the 9thPosted June 20, 2013 5:55 pm
For the people who need to be educated Malignaggi is not a KO artist but he hits hard enough. His lack of KO's is based on all the times he broke his right hand during a fight which is now over 11 breaks since he broke his thumb in the Cano fight. He also went into many fights early in hois career with a broken hand. For anybody on ESB to believe you can get to a world class level with no power at all is basically showing there lack of boxing IQ. Paulie has had other KO not get finished due the fact that he didnt follow up after he hurt guys. I asked him once why he didn't go for the kill after he hurt Diaz badly in there second fight. He told me because he didnt want the show to end he was having a good time. The kid just likes to fight and be in the ring!Posted June 20, 2013 5:20 pm
Senchenko was the one that beat up Hatton. He's evidently improved since his loss to Malignaggi.Posted June 20, 2013 3:09 pm

The Lodge near Dexter was flooded today after a water main broke near the freeway. / WILLIAM ARCHIE/Detroit Free Press
Motorists try to move their cars after being trapped in water on the southbound Lodge near Dexter after a water main broke near the freeway today. / WILLIAM ARCHIE/Detroit Free Press
A water main break this afternoon in northwest Detroit turned part of the Lodge Freeway into a canal that stranded about a dozen water-logged motorists and disrupted thousands of rush-hour commuters.
Water began gushing from a 42-inch main on a surface street near Livernois and Fenkell about 2:30 p.m., poured down a freeway ramp and rose nearly 4 feet in places on the freeway, causing 2-mile backups in both directions, emergency crews said.
Police closed the Lodge in both directions, from Wyoming south to the Davison, and said the closing might run late into tonight and possibly into early Friday.
Id say avoid the area or bring your boat, said Dan Sadowski, 28, a driver of the MDOT Freeway Courtesy Patrol van. He was standing on the Livernois overpass after giving up on rescuing drivers and fleeing the freeway. He predicted that the freeway would reopen Friday, but police and city water workers werent sure as of early tonight.
The flow of water was so great that even cars parked on the sidestreet near the break at Petoskey and Fenkell had water over their wheels. Eyeing his 1999 Ford Escort, which was starting to resemble a boat with wheels, Petoskey resident James Mays Jr., 29, said: I believe its got 3 1/2 feet of water there. Im just keeping my fingers crossed because, so far, my basements not flooded.
Detroit city water officials were unsure tonight how long it would take to repair the main break.
Its a 42-inch, high-pressure transmission main, so you cant just turn a switch to shut it down because you could cause problems in the system, said Mary Alfonso, spokeswoman for the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department.
This will be a 24-hour job, until its done, Alfonso said. Were told by the engineers that this isnt affecting water service. We do have redundancy built into the system. Its my understanding that no one is without water at this time, she said.
Another high-pressure main operated by the City of Detroits system, in Shelby Township, burst Tuesday and has resulted in boil-water alerts and reduced service in a swath of northwestern Macomb County and part of northeastern Oakland County, Alfonso said. That repair is expected to take until early next week, she said.

DEFINITION of 'Yield Equivalence'
The interest rate on a taxable security that would render a return equivalent to that of a tax-exempt security, and vice versa, calculated as follows:
BREAKING DOWN 'Yield Equivalence'
In order to calculate yield equivalence, divide the tax-exempt yield by 1 minus the investor's tax rate. For example, say you were considering a 6% tax-exempt municipal bond, but you would like to calculate what the interest rate on a taxable investment would have to be to give you the same return. If you have a 20% rate of taxation, you would need a return of 7.5% on your taxable investment to match the 6% return on the tax-exempt investment (6%/(1-0.20)=7.5%).
Conversely, if you know your taxable rate of return, you can calculate the equivalent rate on a tax-exempt investment. This is done by multiplying the taxable rate by 1 minus your tax rate. If your taxable return is 6% and your rate of taxation is 20%, you need a 4.8% return on a tax-exempt security to match the after-tax return on a taxable security (6%*(1-0.20)=4.8%).

A Glorious Defeat: Mexico and Its War with the United Statesby Timothy J Henderson
Chapter One
Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821, at a time when the United States was the world's oldest and most successful federal republic. In those days Mexico and the United States were very roughly comparable in size and population, and among the leadership of both countries there were enthusiasts for the ideals of progress, reason, science, and democracy. It is true that the United States was easily twice as wealthy as Mexico, but Mexicans tended to attribute this disparity to Spain's tyrannical mismanagement of its colonial economy. With independence, they expected soon to close the gap.
In fact, however, any similarities between the two nations were superficial, while the differences were profound--and all of the differences worked to Mexico's disadvantage. Some knowledge of those differences is essential to understanding why Mexico and the United States went to war in 1846, and why that war went so disastrously for Mexico.
The United States and Mexico had both been colonies of European powers, but they were heirs to very different colonial legacies. Britain had distanced itself far more thoroughly from the medieval heritage than had Spain: it had limited the power of its monarchy, nurtured a robust private sector, championed the impersonal rule of law, and broken the religious monopoly of the Roman Catholic Church. A good portion of the British elite embraced the ideas of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, and Britain's colonists eagerly seconded that embrace. That is, many of the most prominent leaders in Britain and its colonies believed that reason should trump tradition; that progress and change should be welcomed rather than feared; that individuals should be equal before a clearly codified law and free to advance in life on the basis of merit rather than bloodlines; that sovereignty should be more or less popular and government should incorporate checks and balances as safeguards against corruption and tyranny; that wealth was not finite but was infinitely expandable through free trade, which would reward hard work and ingenuity, and that even the poor could prosper if they energetically pursued their own material self-interest; that the trend toward increasing social equality was something to be welcomed; and that citizens should be free to believe, say, and publish whatever they wished. Enthusiasm for such ideas--collectively known during the nineteenth century as "liberalism"--created a powerful bond among the ruling classes of the British Empire, one that would stand the founders of the North American republic in good stead as they forged their new nation.
While one group of Mexican leaders greatly admired all of the enlightened notions that so captivated the founders of the United States, another group of entrenched Mexican oligarchs clung to medieval habits with a ferocious tenacity. Even if there had been a consensus that liberal ideals were desirable, conditions in Mexico made it far more difficult for the Mexicans to implement liberal policies. When the French nobleman Alexis de Tocqueville praised the United States Constitution--the first instance of liberalism codified as a national charter--he described it as "one of those beautiful creations of human diligence which give their inventors glory and riches but remain sterile in other hands." To illustrate what he meant by "other hands," he asked his readers to consider the case of Mexico, which adopted a similar charter in 1824 and experienced only "anarchy" and "military despotism." To a far greater extent than Anglo-America, Hispanic America clung to a tradition where rights were defined by inherited privilege; where social inequalities were said to be established by God and were considered necessary to maintain social peace; where the king made all important decisions; where law was chaotic and readily abused; and where the economy functioned at the government's pleasure. In Mexico the colonial centuries had left a legacy perhaps too powerful to overcome, at least in the short term.
Differences in historical tradition were accentuated by sharp differences in land and people. Despite the self-serving claims of British American colonists that they had tamed a barren wilderness, the lands of North America were of course inhabited. But the natives were too scattered, weak, and unorganized to put up successful resistance, leaving them vulnerable to ruthlessly efficient extermination or relocation at the hands of whites. Nor was there a large, settled peasantry capable of stout resistance, such as existed in both Mexico and the Old World, so individual landownership and the pursuit of enlightened self-interest encountered fewer obstacles. British North America boasted its share of land barons, but big landowners were far from holding a monopoly of land, and unlike in Mexico there was no Roman Catholic Church claiming extensive corporate property and privilege. Accordingly, in the United States wealth circulated fairly freely, and ordinary citizens could hope to gain land and opportunity.
Few in British North America boasted titles of rank that set them much above their fellows. In contrast to the stuffy elitism of the Old World, lineage was of scant concern to the Anglo-Americans. People enjoyed differing levels of wealth and power, of course, but in general the poor in America were less poor than their Old World counterparts, and the rich were less rich. "No novelty in the United States struck me more vividly during my stay there," wrote Tocqueville in the 1830s, "than the equality of conditions. It was easy to see the immense influence of this basic fact on the whole course of society."
Anglo-Americans tended also to believe that universal education not only inculcated the values of good citizenship but also aided economic growth and therefore should be universally available. In the early nineteenth century education was fast becoming available to all white, and even to a few black, Americans. By the 1830s the United States was among the world's most literate societies. Many Mexican leaders shared the sense that public education was vital to social health, but they encountered formidable obstacles to implementing successful educational programs, and the overwhelming majority of Mexicans remained illiterate throughout the nineteenth century.
Of course, in the United States slaves, Indians, and indentured servants were not held to be "equal" to free white Americans, and they did not enjoy citizenship rights. The enslavement of blacks and the dispossession of Indians were glaring exceptions to nearly every principle that U.S. elites claimed to hold dear, and these original sins would nearly capsize the republican experiment. That crisis, however, remained decades away. Indentured servants, at least, would gain freedom upon fulfilling their contracts, whereupon they merged into a free white population that afforded most of them considerable opportunity. Anglo-Americans scarcely entertained the idea that Indians and blacks should enjoy full citizenship rights and so believed that their interests could blithely be ignored. The politically engaged people of the United States were ethnically homogeneous. In the first decades after independence American leaders seldom tired of pointing out, with inordinate pride, that theirs was a republic of white men.
Mexico's social makeup was far more complicated and muddled than that of the United States, its past more violent and traumatic. Modern Mexico was born in 1521 amid the spectacular violence of the Conquest, where Spanish adventurers led by the intrepid conquistador Hernán Cortés laid waste to the opulent Aztec Empire, which claimed several million subjects. The capital of that empire, Tenochtitlán, was an engineering marvel, home to some two or three hundred thousand people, more than lived in contemporary Madrid or Paris. That great city was reduced to a stinking rubble after a months-long battle. The horror and devastation of the conquest was followed by a veritable holocaust for the native population: over the ensuing decades millions of Mexico's indigenous people perished from overwork and abuse and waves of epidemic Old World disease to which they had no immunity. Even so, the indigenous population was too large and stubborn to be eradicated or removed, so the Spaniards and Indians reached certain accommodations. Spaniards were heirs to a tradition wherein the conquered were made to serve the conquerors, which fit well with their plans and culture. Spanish gentlemen eschewed manual labor, but there was plenty of manual labor to be done--in the fields, in the mines, in the carrying trades. Simply put, nonwhites became the working classes of colonial Mexico, since white skin was all it took to elevate a man to the status of New World nobility.
For all their brutality and callousness, in fact the Spaniards were great innovators in the area of race relations. They were arguably the first people to seriously ponder the implications of intercultural contact on a vast scale. Yet while learned clerics at Spain's universities debated the worth of the Indian race, their counterparts, the bold missionaries to the New World, were busy carrying out an experiment in social engineering that, although done with compassionate intentions, had unfortunate consequences that are still felt today. They deemed the native peoples of America to be perpetual children, fledglings whose tender wings would never permit them to leave the nest. Accordingly, they designed a paternalistic regime full of special protections and a few onerous requirements, one that inculcated dependence and a fair degree of isolation from white society. Indians held certain inalienable communal lands, lived in semiautonomous villages, had law courts designed specifically to hear their charges and complaints, were not permitted to carry guns or swords, could not enter the priesthood or other professions, were not permitted to borrow more than five pesos, and were required to pay a race-based head tax. Relying on such blatant paternalism, the friars hoped to protect the Indians as far as possible from the corrupting influence of white civilization.
In some ways they succeeded all too well. Indians lived in self-governing villages; most did not learn Spanish or adopt many Spanish ways; they were able to preserve many of their pre-Columbian beliefs and practices, albeit in somewhat distorted forms; they remained, for the most part, desperately poor and outside the market economy; and their interactions with people from outside their culture were limited and characteristically hostile. All of this remained largely true as Mexico entered the nineteenth century and the era of its independent existence. Policymakers in Mexico thus confronted obstacles that their neighbors to the north did not. The Indians, who accounted for perhaps about 60 percent of the population, were unassimilated, illiterate, and unable to speak what white elites deemed to be the national language. One writer at the time of the U.S.-Mexican War reckoned that perhaps three-quarters of Mexico's indigenous population had not yet heard the news of Mexico's independence from Spain.
Some 22 percent of Mexico's population consisted of castas, a generic term for people of mixed race. The conquistador Hernán Cortés himself had helped kick off this trend by fathering an illegitimate son by his Indian interpreter, Doña Marina (better known to history as La Malinche). Other conquistadors and early settlers followed suit, bringing into being a class of mestizos, persons of mixed Indian and European blood. Adding to the racial mix were enslaved Africans, brought to work in the mines and on sugar plantations. Blacks, in turn, produced offspring with Indians and whites. (In Mexico such offspring were called zambos and mulattos respectively.) In a country that was in theory sharply divided by race--there was a "Republic of Spaniards" and a "Republic of Indians"--the castas fit into no officially recognized category. For the three hundred years of the Spanish colony, they inhabited the uncomfortable margins of society, with few opportunities for advancement. Only one institute of higher learning in all of Mexico admitted castas, the undistinguished Colegio de San Juan de Letrán, where the meager curriculum included courses in how to beg for alms.
Not surprisingly, castas tended toward fairly menial occupations: they became artisans, muleteers, hacienda overseers, domestic servants, and market vendors. The more they tried to gain respect and social standing, the more the whites insisted on their own racial "purity." In the late colonial era whites took to devising rather bizarre new racial designations based on the intricate intermingling of white, Indian, and African blood. The closer those mixtures came to whiteness, the more respectable they became, but it was never quite possible to erase the stain of nonwhite blood in the eyes of the white elite. By the time of Mexico's independence, castas were the fastest-growing element of the Mexican population, yet their status remained oddly undetermined. Their pretensions to power and respect would provoke some of the most gruesome episodes in the history of the early Mexican Republic.
Mexico's racial situation, then, was a good deal more complex than that of the United States. There was one blessing: by the end of the colonial era Mexico had relatively few enslaved blacks (some eight thousand, perhaps), most of them concentrated in the torrid coastal regions. The institution of slavery was entirely negligible to Mexico's economy. Mexico therefore was able to suppress that institution with relative ease, affording it one of its few advantages over its northern neighbor.
This single blessing, however, did not make Mexico's racial sins any less damning than those of the United States. The Indians and the castas suffered grotesque marginalization and poverty. Nineteenth-century visitors to Mexico City, who arrived expecting to experience the fabled elegance of the old colonial capital, were inevitably scandalized by the sight of thousands of dark-skinned people living out of doors and in the most appalling squalor: clad in dirty rags, covered with frightful sores and wounds, living from crime or begging. The well-to-do residents of the capital developed a colorful lexicon of disparaging terms to describe these despised people: los léperos, la canalla, los sansculottes, la chusma, el populacho--all translating, with varying shades of emphasis, to "the rabble." Brantz Mayer, who served as secretary of the U.S. legation in Mexico during the 1840s, left a vivid portrait of the famed Mexican lépero, with his long, vermin-infested hair, torn and stinking clothing, wild eyes, and "features pinched by famine into sharpness." Such people spent their days around the markets and shops that sold pulque--the fermented juice of the century plant that was the intoxicant of choice among Mexico's poor--"feeding on fragments, quarreling, drinking, stealing and lying drunk about the pavements, with their children crying with hunger around them."
The relatively better-off working people of the city--who were mostly mestizo and were generally included in the category of "rabble"--tended to live in first-floor apartments that routinely flooded during the rainy season, contributing to a shockingly high mortality rate. Children under the age of three accounted for a third of all deaths in the city. In the countryside famine was a recurring nightmare, as were periodic epidemics of smallpox and matlazahuatl, a disease re-sembling smallpox that affected Mexico's Indian population exclusively. Some estimates place Mexico's illiteracy rate as high as 99 percent. Where Alexis de Tocqueville was impressed with the overwhelming equality he found in the United States, another European traveler, the German scientist Alexander von Humboldt, found the opposite in Mexico. He described it with brutal simplicity: "Mexico is the country of inequality. Nowhere does there exist such a fearful difference in the distribution of fortune, civilization, cultivation of the soil and population."
Nature itself dealt rather perversely with Mexico, exacerbating that "fearful difference" of which Humboldt spoke and making it difficult for Mexicans to forge a cohesive nation. Most of Mexico's fertile land is concentrated in the tropical highlands at the country's center, and that area was home to the largest portion of the Mexican population. The remaining population was scattered throughout a rugged and often harsh landscape. The difficulties of transportation and the tremendous variation in land and resources helped to make Mexico a country of regions. Common allegiance to a remote king and an official Church afforded some coherence during the colonial period, but those bonds were weakened or destroyed with independence, and nothing appeared to replace them. Outside the capital city most Mexicans tended to identify with their own locality, often referred to as la patria chica or "little homeland." Family, community, and local political bosses mattered, while the nation as a whole remained a troublesome abstraction. While in the United States the land's topography contributed to social equality and national sentiment, in Mexico it encouraged diversity, inequality, and conflict. The midnineteenth-century writer Mariano Otero lamented this phenomenon in a sentence that seemed to encapsulate the woes that haunted his generation: "In Mexico there is not, nor is there a possibility of developing, a national spirit, because there is no nation." This exaggerated regionalism, joined to the appalling divisions of race and class, would emerge as one of the country's most intractable problems during its early decades, and it would contribute greatly to the outbreak and course of the U.S.-Mexican War.

All Cues Are Not Created Equal: Obtaining Attitude Persistence under Low-Involvement Conditions
Attitude persistence research in consumer behavior has been predominantly associated with high- rather than low-involvement processing. Advertising, however, is most often processed as a low-involvement communication. The authors predict that different low-involvement cues lead to different degrees of attitude persistence. Consistent with this prediction, they find that under low-involvement conditions, when both related and unrelated peripheral cues evoke similar initial attitudes, only when the cue is related to the product category do attitudes persist over time. The results of two studies attest to the robustness of the phenomenon and add to current models of attitude persistence by showing that peripherally processed advertising cues (e.g., brand names and celebrity endorsers) may lead to persistence if they are related to the product being endorsed.

Harry Gold | January 4, 2012 | Comments
If your goal is to make lasting connections with consumers and drive them into a retail environment, then map your way to that.
One of the major roles I play as my company's CEO is to act as an educator. It's one of the most satisfying things I do in my career - I see people both on the client side and agency side transform from marketing experts to online marketing engineers.
Becoming a marketing engineer is one of the real challenges people face in becoming or transforming themselves into genuine online marketing experts. You need to bring everything together to connect the dots. You cannot be an expert in just one thing because everything is interrelated. The success of one step is dependant on the success of the next step. You need to map the whole ROI path from impression through engagement, conversion to retention, and finally tracking and analysis. Of course, it doesn't stop there - you need to look at the whole cycle and say, "How do we improve?" And connecting all these parts requires knowledge of not just media and creative but the underlying technologies that drive people down the click and engagement path to success.
Now don't be alarmed or intimated. You don't have to be a coder to understand technology or be a marketing engineer; you simply have to understand what the technology does and be conversant in it. You have to know what different marketing technology applications and elements do. And to do this you simply have to a) surf the web and act like a consumer and take note of what happens, and b) Google industry terms that you hear people throwing out every day and read up on them. OK, there are some more complex technologies you should get your head around like cookies, web analytics, and marketing automation. But again, you don't need to be a coder - you just have to understand what this stuff does.
So to get you on your way, I'm going to give you the trick to becoming a real digital marketer and true marketing engineer. It all boils down to asking one simple question.
"And Then What?"
Now say it again. And again. Now one more time. Asking this question over and over will help you to connect the dots. It forces you to map the whole customer and ROI journey you're trying to encourage. It forces you to become a marketing engineer!
When you're looking at your media plan, search ad, or banner (or any part of your marketing program), keep asking "And then what?" until you hit the ultimate end. That end may be conversion but typically it should go beyond that to include retargeting, retention, and analytics.
So let's explore what asking "And then what?" yields in terms of user flow and tactics. If you can conceptualize this flow and understand it, congratulations! You have graduated and become a digital marketing engineer!
Sample "And then what?" user flow (B2B):
You see what I'm getting at here? Whether you're doing B2B or B2C, it doesn't matter. If your goal is to make lasting connections with consumers and drive them into a retail environment, then map your way to that. The web (and the mobile web for that matter) has built in response and engagement potential that allows you to target, engage, convert, track, and in general escalate prospects to sale. It serves all phases of the customer lifecycle journey. Digital marketers understand the whole path and it starts by simply asking "And then what?"

Can NASCAR Driver Kyle Busch win at Bristol?
Last week NASCAR and Kyle Busch were at the high banked Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Kyle Busch was his own worst enemy. He had a fast car, started near the front but got a speeding penalty. He drove up through the field and finished the race fourth. This week NASCAR is at another high banked speedway, the Bristol Motor Speedway for the Food City 500.
The Bristol Motor Speedway is different than any other speedway NASCAR goes to. It is .533 miles in length with variable banking in all four corners of 24 to 28 degrees and 4-8 degrees on the front and backstretch. It takes a little over 15 seconds to make a lap. With approximately four laps per minute it is hard to believe the drivers can keep track of where on the track they are.
To make matters worse pit road is split into two; one half on the front stretch and one half on the back stretch. When a driver pits under green they have to enter the half of pit road they are pitted on. Under caution they all enter on the back stretch and drive down both pit roads in order that those pitting on the back stretch are not at a disadvantage.
Each week driver ratings are used to point out which drivers are good at that week's track. This week is no different. Kyle Busch leads all active drivers here with a rating of 102.3 with Jeff Gordon following behind at 100.7. Unlike last week at Las Vegas, the more the top drivers by rating are below 120 the less the driver ratings will point to a clear winner. The rest of the ratings are below for reference.
When driver ratings don't point to a clear choice then past performance is used. Jeff Gordon has five wins here and an average finish of 11.9 but his last came in the fall of 2002. Kurt Busch took over as the king of Bristol that year and also has five wins his last in 2006. He has an average finish of 13.8. Kyle Busch took over from his brother and also has five wins and the best average finish of all active drivers at 10.3. Between the two of them they have won ten of the last 22 races.
One thing you won't hear about is the new generation six car except that those pretty noses that make them look like real cars will be sitting ducks and won't make it through the race. Get ready for some beating and banging, it's Bristol Baby!
Can Kyle Busch break the three way tie and win. We shall see. The race is 500 laps or 266.5 miles. If you can't get to Bristol Motor Speedway the race is Sunday March 17th at 1 PM ET on Fox.

NEW YORK (AP) - The musical of "Big Fish" starring two-time Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz has reeled in a Broadway theater.
Producers said Monday that the new show will open in early October at the Neil Simon Theatre. Previews begin September 5 following a tune-up in Chicago this April and May.
Five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman will direct and choreograph the musical, based on the Daniel Wallace novel and the 2003 Tim Burton-directed film starring Ewan McGregor and Albert Finney. The musical's book will be by John August, who wrote the movie's screenplay.
Butz, last seen opposite Katie Homes on Broadway, will be joined by Kate Baldwin, Bobby Steggert, Krystal Joy Brown and Zachary Unger.

- the Assistant Dean, Office of Student Affairs (514-398-5557) OR
- the Associate Dean, Medical Education and Student Affairs OR
- the University ombudsperson (514-398-7059)
All complaints are treated confidentially. Initial complaints can be both anonymous or not; all efforts are made to respect learners' choices regarding anonymity and action taken.
Definition of Mistreatment:
The American Association of Medical Colleges defines medical student mistreatment as public belittlement; threats of or actual physical punishment; requirements to perform personal services, such as shopping; sexual harassment; and discrimination or offensive remarks based on gender, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
Categories of mistreatment:
- General Mistreatment
- Physical harm/punishment; personal service(s); belittlement/humiliation
- Sexual Mistreatment
- Denied opportunities based on gender; request for sexual favors in exchange for grades; unwanted sexual advances; offensive sexist remarks; lower grades/evaluations based on gender
- Racial/Ethnic Mistreatment
- Denied opportunities based on race/ethnicity; offensive remarks/names; lower grades/evaluations based on race
- Sexual Orientation Mistreatment
- Denied opportunities based on sexual orientation; offensive remarks/names; lower grades/evaluations
The frequency of harassment/abuse/mistreatment incidents will be monitored and an annual report submitted to the Dean. In this process, confidentiality will be maintained. This report may result in further enquiries and/or professional development initiatives.
Note: Under Quebec law, complaints regarding hospital medical staff, residents and students may also be directed to the medical examiner for the institution where the violation took place.

Nice new hotel in the heart of the 2018 winter Olympics venue. Only hotel in Korea that charge for Wi fi, disappointing for a 5 star hotel. Room was very nice, one of the best. Most of the shops are already closed when we arrive at 8pm.

REEd is a university-based intermediary with deep ties to the K-12 education community. We are committed to moving research findings into practice and to building the capacity of education systems to improve teaching and learning and to reduce inequities.
Guarantee all California students high-quality instruction and a nurturing school environment by resourcing excellence in K-16 education systems.
REEd's mission is aligned with the UC Davis School of Education's strategic vision and with the leading edge of educational needs in California and the nation. We have developed a framework to guide the scope of our activities consisting of two distinct yet complementary areas of focus: Resourcing Professional Learning Systems (RPLS) and Education Support Services (ESS). RPLS provides a platform for prototyping promising programs, tools, and practices that will be offered in the form of direct services through ESS.
REEd is pleased to share a summary report of the 2014-2015 Pacific Coast Teacher Innovation Network (PacTIN), which is part of the Teacher-based Reform (T-BAR) grant. This report provides an overview of the activities of PacTIN and describes early indicators of sustainability and impact. To read the report in its entirety, see the related links.
This report provides an outline of the Teacher-based Reform (T-BAR) grant activities specific to REEd's partnership with Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE), as documented by REEd. To read the report in its entirety, please see the related links to the right. Also available is the story of one participating school site, Apple Blossom School in Sebastopol.
REEd director Susan O'Hara, along with Jeff Zwiers and Robert Pritchard, have released an article in the MinneTESOL Journal. This article describes strategies for incorporating "classroom conversation" to prepare learners for the communication rigors of college and beyond. It also describes necessary conditions for effective classroom conversations and provides strategies to support them in the classroom. The article can be found here:
The Resourcing Instructional Practice for Improvement and Learning (RIPIL) Essential Practice Frames articulate teaching practices that have the most impact on student growth. The RIPIL Frames are a response to districts seeking both a protocol for informal or guided self-assessment of teaching practices and an observation rubric and associated tools for formal evaluation of teaching practices. It is designed to help educators articulate high-impact teaching practices tied to the Common Core State Standards, provide language for fostering professional growth of teachers, and measure progress toward the California Standards for the Teaching Profession and other national teaching standards.
Robert Pritchard, Susan O'Hara, and Jeff Zwiers have recently published a chapter in Cases on Technology Integration in Mathematics Education, edited by Drew Polly (2015). The chapter is entitled "Using new technologies to engage and support English language learners in mathematics classrooms."
Terry Westover and Lisa Sullivan have published a new article in the most recent issue of JSD, the Learning Forward journal. This article concerns teachers participating in a California program that allowed them to select their own professional learning, who report increased confidence and knowledge, improved instruction, and a greater ability to meet student learning needs.

REEd is pleased to share the results of a retrospective evaluation of PacTIN, a project of the ITQ SAHE program. The report is based on a survey of all participating teachers, administered in Fall of 2014, and a case study examination of three teams from the first cohorts of funded projects.
This fall, the UC Davis School of Education launched a new professional development initiative to bring together school-day educators with educators working in out-of-school programs in an effort to strengthen STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) learning activities in both contexts.
An article in The Davis Enterprise featured the thoughts and takeaways of educators who attended "Innovating with the Common Core State Standards," a conference hosted by the UC Davis School of Education's REEd (Resourcing Excellence in Education) on November 15, 2014. Visit the conference website for more information on presenters and program.

Cold-Water Corals and Ecosystems
Following the exciting exploration of hot vent and cold seep ecosystems, the rediscovery of cold-water coral ecosystems with high-technology instrumentation is currently another hot topic in multidisciplinary marine research. Conventionally, coral reefs are regarded as restricted to warm and well-illuminated tropical seas, not associated with cold and dark waters of higher latitudes. However, ongoing scientific missions have shed light on the global significance of this overlooked ecosystem. Cold-water coral ecosystems are involved in the formation of large seabed structures such as reefs and giant carbonate mounds, and they represent unexploited paleo-environmental archives of earth history. Like their tropical cousins, cold-water coral ecosystems harbour rich species diversity. Despite the great water depths, commercial interests overlap more and more with the coral occurrences. Human activities already impinge directly on cold-water coral reefs causing severe damage to this vulnerable ecosystem. In this volume, the current key institutions involved in cold-water coral research have contributed 62 state-of-the-art articles from geology and oceanography to biology and conservation.less
