In 2013, Travelers Smiled About Service, But Irate Over Internet
January 24, 2014 3:41am
According To Latest Study Analyzing Over 14 Million Reviews Worldwide
TrustYou Releases Global 2013 Reports Unveiling Review Trends in North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, The Middle East & Africa
New York, New York and Munich, Germany - January 24, 2014 - In 2013, hoteliers enjoyed better review scores and improvements in service and management response rates, despite declining Internet satisfaction, according to the latest findings that compare user-generated hotel reviews for 2013 with the year prior. TrustYou, working in conjunction with Donna Quadri-Felitti, Ph.D., at New York University, Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, has developed its first global reports identifying key trends in travelers' reviews and hotel satisfaction across North America, Asia Pacific (APAC) and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Based on a sample of more than 14 million reviews from across 250-plus sources, the data and insights are segmented by each region, by select countries/sub-regions and include major markets within each region. Review scores are based on TrustScore, TrustYou's aggregate score out of 100, pulling from all reviews written worldwide.
Quadri-Felitti, an associate professor at NYU specializing in hotel and tourism marketing, asserts that, "The sentiment analysis within these reports shows in which areas destinations shine as well as highlights areas to improve in 2014."
The full reports, including additional data and insights are available for free download here. Some of the highlights include:
Worldwide, TrustScores, Volume of Reviews Are On The Rise
As travelers turn increasingly to reviews to help with their hotel booking decisions, hotel management is under constant pressure to focus on and improve review scores of their hotel portfolios. In 2013, hoteliers rose to the pressure, with the majority of regions/countries and major markets posting an increase in scores. The US (+2.4%), Spain (+2.1%), the U.K. (+2.0%) and Australia and New Zealand (+1.3%) registered the biggest percentage gains. The major markets with the highest scores in these reports were: Bali (95.1) in APAC, Prague (93.8) in EMEA and New York (89.8) in North America.
The volume of reviews has grown by double-digit percentages in APAC, EMEA and North America, with most major review platforms seeing gains, showing the continued importance of reviews on the travel industry.
Five-Star Reviews Drop In Major Markets Across The Globe
Despite an increase in TrustScores and volume of reviews in 2013, nearly all major markets in APAC, EMEA and North America have seen a decline in the percentage of five-star reviews. The decline seen in major markets may be a result of increased consumer trust in reviews; they may adjust their expectations as a result of hotel reviews, creating greater demands on hotel management to exceed expectations. That said, outside of major markets, there have been increases in the percentage of five-star reviews, particularly in APAC, which posted regional increases in five-star reviews. Northeast Asia registered the largest year-over year gains (+25.5%).
Service Shines While Satisfaction With Hotel Internet/WiFi Continued Its Downward Spiral
Travelers' appear to be more satisfied with the service they receive at hotels, with TrustYou Service Scores increasing in most regions compared to a year ago. These gains may have been a key factor in growing TrustScores. Even with an increase in Service Scores, travelers became increasingly unsatisfied with hotel Internet/WiFi availability. Internet Scores dropped by up to double-digit percentages in all countries/regions in this report. Internet service is something that nearly all destinations need to address as the global and constant connectivity of travelers is ever growing.

What's the face of business today? Just 15 years ago, the answer to that question might have been 'the retail presence' or, in a few rare cases, 'the celebrity CEO.'

But today, the best and most common answer is, quite simply, the web.

Doubt my conclusion? Consider the numbers. Recent statistics suggest that there are now more than two billion Internet users worldwide -- and as new platforms emerge, that number is rapidly escalating. Cell phone subscriptions have topped five billion (and you can be sure that before long, every cell phone on Earth will be web-capable).

Facebook alone has in the ballpark of three-quarters of a billion users. Twitter isn't terribly far behind at more than 200 million registered accounts.

If you really want to engage your customers, you have to go wherever your customers are -- not just pull them in the direction you want them to go.

More, you have to provide a compelling, consistent experience for them, one that focuses on value as they define and perceive it, not as you do.

That means a lot more than just the company site (at least, the company site as it exists at most businesses today). It means leveraging the web as a whole to attract and interact with past, current and future customers. And it means connecting with them in a much broader sense than simply e-commerce. I'm talking about actually learning from them and using that information to serve them better, as well as empowering them to interact with each other.

Pursuing all those goals in parallel, though, will typically require more capabilities than organizations have at present. What's needed is a core platform that's smart enough, and flexible enough, to support business strategies, link customers, scale to unpredictable demand levels and expand over time to address new ideas going forward.

And I'm not alone in thinking that -- which is why leading IT providers are quickly introducing powerful new software solutions designed to deliver exactly those capabilities.

'We have a lead offering in this space,' said IBM Program Director and Chief Strategist for Web Experience Software Nicole Carrier. 'It's called the IBM Customer Experience Suite. And it provides a foundation for organizations that want to deliver these very compelling, differentiated, socially infused, mobile-aware experiences.'

Let's tackle each of those adjectives.

Compelling and differentiated. 'Compelling' is often used in modern marketing simply to mean 'good.' But in this case, the original definition applies as well: capable of beckoning, of bringing customers in. Toward that end, one key factor is personalization.

'Organizations can really differentiate themselves from the competition, and improve customer loyalty via an experience that is personalized to customer needs, to their behaviors, to their preferences, as well as the language of their choice,' said Carrier.

If you want an example of what she has in mind, consider Lufthansa Airlines -- an IBM customer. This organization has moved away from delivering a stock, one-size-fits-all web experience to an experience carefully tailored to each specific customer…and in every respect Carrier described.

'The first time you get there, it asks you for your country, your language; it's personalized for more than 80 countries and 12 languages,' she said. 'If you log in, you can then see your information, [such as] your flights, your awards, all your content tailored to your preferences.'

Why is this crucial? It stands to reason that when sites understand customers better, they can serve customers better. And with better service, better business outcomes will emerge for organizations.

Mobile-aware. Another important form of personalization: the Lufthansa site is now device-and-mobile aware. It now recognizes which type of device a customer is using, then renders to that device a version of the site that has been tailored to the device's strengths and weaknesses

So, for instance, if the user happens to be on a smart phone -- typically characterized by both limited screen resolution and lower-bandwidth connection rates -- the Lufthansa site knows that and takes steps to compensate.

'You're not going to see a huge site that you need to scroll around with, that's hard to use,' said Carrier. 'You'll get an experience optimized for the form factor of your phone.'

Socially infused. Beyond customer-by-customer personalization, though, another angle to consider is the social web. Sites that engage with customers, Web 2.0-style -- instead of simply selling to customers -- will almost by definition deliver a better customer experience.

You can think of this in terms of service management theory, if you like. Service management is all about aligning your products and services as closely as you can to what your customers need and want. But how can you do that if you don't know what they need and want

Socially aware sites answer that question by providing a microphone for customers to speak up.

'The social web has really been a great equalizer in terms of getting customers' voices to be heard,' said Carrier. 'It could be as simple as allowing users to express their feedback by commenting or rating or participating in forums and communities on your site.'

Simple trumps pretty
Customers, just like water and electricity, will typically follow the path of least resistance. That means no site, however powerful or sophisticated it may be in theory, will satisfy customer needs if it's hard to use. Just as the GUI replaced the command line a generation ago, easy-to-use sites are rapidly replacing those that seem to customers to amount to a barrier of entry.

In my own experience, this principle is so powerful, it can even outweigh another -- that unusually good-looking sites attract more user attention and create more business value for organizations.

Carrier sees things in much the same terms.

'I've seen a large number of sites where they're absolutely beautiful, they're like completely flashy, and you go there and try to get something done, but it's so hard to navigate; it's really hard to get the task accomplished,' she said. 'Organizations need to focus on ease of use and making sure that the actions people want to take when coming to your site are as easy [for them] to execute as possible.'

Open pudding, find proof

So what, exactly, has been the business outcome for organizations that have deployed customer-experience web solutions with the capabilities of the type Carrier cites from IBM Software -- solutions that 'provide a foundation for very compelling, differentiated, socially infused, mobile-aware experiences'?

'We have thousands of amazing experiences built on our technology,' said Carrier. 'One customer, Reliance Life Insurance used [IBM Customer Experience Suite] to build both an agent portal and a customer portal. By leveraging our platform, Reliance was able to reduce their customer and agent self-service costs by nearly 50 percent and saved millions of dollars.'

Another example:

'There is a large county government located here in the US that basically needed to make it a lot easier for citizens and various associations to do business with the county without having to drive all the way into offices or fill out tons of paperwork,' said Carrier. 'They built this really exceptional web experience and eliminated a bunch of information silos and presented information in a really nice, aggregated citizen's view instead.'

And what kind of bottom-line benefits are they getting?

'Well, just last year from January to April, they had 10 million visits and collected $468 million in revenue.'

I'm not sure 'wow' is a strong enough word.

How does your company's face compare?

how could you do this to the doctor this is a dishonor to the other doctors and the timelords
Dude, it's an April Fools joke.
I swear! Your art just makes the series even the more funnier!
'Tis a ginger unicorn!!
lifted my mood a little after seeing the end of Aldric in "Earthshock". Funny, I always liked the idea of acting, but yes I would probably criticize every which-way if things were as they were within the story of the episode. (the episode in which the Doctor act with others in a mock-story with stupidity and oddness, followed by the final straw edging him on to quit the crazy play) Worthy of being concidered an April Fools Day joke video, whether it follows somewhere after the official episode to come (in his off-time), or not at all.
Part of me wants to hug you, the other part wants to strangle you.
Thank gods Sparky's not canon...kind of worries me about MY character though...but maybe that's the point. To get me to seriously ponder how to balance my character before using him fully.
It has been days and I have yet to see any Sparky fan art! Internet, I am disappoint.
In other news, K-9 is awesome. There is nothing else that needs to be said because this is a fact.

Wow, this was a really well made joke. Love it!
Looks at date. I see what you did there.
didn't expect twilight to show up. you even drew in the wings (continuity!bum)
This was the BEST. THING. EVER. Especially the ending. It cracked me up.
What's really amazing is that so many people on youtube aren't getting the joke.
Such laziness, shameful Joey.
I'd like to thank all of you for making this but also for never being this.

Conservatives also know that McCain isn't their biggest fan. On the same day Romney was officially joining the presidential-exploration mix, a "Vanity Fair" article was released portraying McCain as indifferent to issues like abortion and marriage. And then there is his assault on free speech, known as the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance reform, a source of great angst on the right. Conservative misgivings about McCain are a great opening for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who's known as a conservative ideas guy on a whole host of issues. But, among other things, Gingrich has not put together an exploratory committee, and smart money doesn't have him going all the way.
So where do conservatives go from there? Maybe, just maybe, to their least likely nominee: Rudy. Giuliani has the hard-to-beat advantage of being a household name, known by his first name. In a short-lived 2000 Senate race, he refused to oppose partial-birth abortion, but in 2006 he campaigned for pro-life stalwart Rick Santorum (ex-senator from Pennsylvania). While doing so, he said (possibly with more of an eye on 2008 than 2006 voters): "You never have a political leader in which you have total agreement, not if they're being honest." Giuliani, who led New York after 9/11 as the world watched, recently said, "The reality here is that the Islamo-fundamentalist terrorists are at war with our way of life, with our modern world, with rights for women, religious freedom, societies that have religious freedom." That's clarity you don't always hear from the current president.
So is it Rudy 2008 for the GOP? Not by a long shot. But staying low-key for a while and watching the other guys fight it out, inflicting wounds on one another, is not an insane strategy. At least for America's mayor. And that is something conservatives might want to keep in mind as some appear to be poised to kill off their most obvious conservative alternative early.

to play football, not to play trumpet
The Monday Ten Autopsies the Gophers
In a universe where Bill Murray actually gets the gopher (source).
1. R. Pitino def. R. Pitino
The best game of college basketball's opening weekend – one of those now-customary military appreciation contests in a weird venue (a hangar in Puerto Rico this time) – featured Rick Pitino's Louisville Cardinals and his son, Richard's Minnesota Golden Gophers. It was a predictably sloppy game, partially because of the heat that required several stoppages in play to wipe perspiration off of the court, partially because it was the season-opener for both teams.
In any case, it was an ugly game. There were a combined 60 fouls in the game, the two teams combined for more made free throws (49) than made field goals (45), and half-court offense for both teams looked like far more difficult than it should have. All of these early-season gimmick locales effectively dilute the quality of play because of the unusual environments and this game fell victim to that also. It wasn't competitive either: Minnesota held an early 14-10 lead, but Louisville ripped off a 19-2 run. The Gophers didn't get the deficit to two possessions for the rest of the game.
In the end, Louisville won because Rick was playing with a stacked deck: future lottery pick Montrezl Harrell was outstanding – efficient, with 30 points on 17 shot equivalents – and showcased not only his aggressive and physical interior play, but a good-looking jump shot as well. Minnesota's backcourt of Deandre Mathieu and Andre Hollins is great in its own right, but they were simply outclassed by Chris Jones and Terry Rozier. Few teams have a guard tandem that can defend like those two and even fewer have a big man who's comparable to Montrezl Harrell.
2. #lukewarm #gopher #takes
Not a whole lot can be drawn from a game like this – Louisville might be the best team Minnesota faces all year and the game was in a structure built to store helicopters in the Caribbean.
Still, a few observations:
- Mo Walker > Elliott Eliason. Minnesota's senior center tandem split the minutes evenly, but Walker got the start and outplayed Eliason against the Cardinals. Louisville didn't bother to double Walker on post-ups, and he took advantage – he also ran the floor well in transition and had a nice drive-and-dish from the perimeter.
- The four spot was a disaster. Understandable, when guarding Harrell, but the Gopher four men struggled on offense (against a zone) as well. Joey King should hold down the position but he didn't play well and Bakary Konate, Charles Buggs, and Josh Martin didn't impress in relief.
- Nate Mason should contribute this year. Minnesota's freshman guard had an unenviable opponent in his first college game, but he held up decently well: 10 points (but four missed free throws), 5 rebounds, 2 assists (and 2 turnovers). Pitino should just rotate Mathieu, Hollins, and Mason at the two guard spots.
- Auto-benching Mathieu was stupid. When Deandre Mathieu picked up his second foul at 9:21 remaining in the first half, Louisville led by just three points – when he got back after halftime, the lead was thirteen. Mathieu didn't play particularly well but he had just 3 fouls per 40 minutes last season and didn't foul out anyways. Don't automatically bench guys.
- Other than that: Andre Hollins looked good and Carlos Morris didn't; The hyper-aggressive Louisville trapping zones and half-court 2-3 zone gave Minnesota a ton of problems (and it's easy to foresee the younger Pitino molding the Gophers into a defense like that in time); Minnesota's jerseys were awful.

Basketbullets: Hillsdale
11/15/2014 – Michigan 92, Hillsdale 68, 1-0
AHHHHHHHHHHHH basketball exists [Dustin Johnston/UMHoops]
No drama just bullets:
Big three. Big three. Big three. Chances a basketball podcast uses "The Big Three Killed My Baby"—the White Stripes' screechy intro to the world off their self-titled debut—are 99.9%. Outside of the uber-recruit laden one-and-done factories There are few in the country who can match Michigan 1 to 3. The backcourt troika all went over 20 points efficiently, and there is more where that came from.
Yes, just a D-II team, but even so Walton/Irvin/LeVert all cracked 20 points on 13-ish shot equivalents. None of these guys got their points via volume. As a result, they picked up where they left off last year at 1.33 points per possession. Single-game ORTGs for the big three: 170, 166, and 144. That's nuts.
Usage was also in the same range it was last year: the six guys who cracked ten minutes all had their usage fall between 16 (Chatman) and 25 (Albrecht!) percent. Last year's Michigan team was efficient in part because no individual player had a particularly heavy load. Even without Stauskas they look ready to repeat that feat.
- LeVert looks ready to take over the late-shot-clock mantle capably handled by Burke and Stauskas the last couple years. He's a long 6'7" with an excellent ability to get to his spot and get off a clean jumper, and that's a fine option when you have to get a shot off, any shot. Also he had nine assists. And eight rebounds.
- Walton, meanwhile, is also verging on being able to get what he wants when he wants it. He got the the line ten times, had four assist and just one TO. I don't want to talk about a Trey leap yet… but hey man Beilein point guards have gotten really really good in year two. Hell, you could even throw Stauskas in there if you want.
- Irvin didn't fill up the box score like he did against Wayne State; he did show off a couple of drives off of closeouts that were absent from his game last year. He was actually 5/6 from inside the line… which is about a month's worth of games from last year.
In re: Irvin twos: About half of those were THJ-style pull-up jumpers just inside the line. You know me and my hatred of long twos, but even I have to admit those looked like they might go down often enough to be a decent option.
[After THE JUMP: the five spot, defensive issues, calmer than you are.]
Frank Clark Dismissed From Program
Following the release of very disturbing details of Frank Clark's arrest on charges of domestic violence early Sunday morning, Michigan announced today that Clark is no longer a part of the football program. The full statement from Brady Hoke:
"Frank Clark has been dismissed for violating team rules from the Michigan football program. This is a tragic situation. Our student-athletes will be held accountable when their actions fail to meet the standard we have at Michigan. There is a legal process that will occur and we respect that process."
This was the only acceptable course of action given the situation. Thoughts go out to the alleged victim and her family.
Frank Clark Arrested On Domestic Violence Charge
No details yet as this apparently just happened but the Erie County jail's website has a log of all arrests and Frank Clark is on there:
If you are for some reason dubious that this guy who looks just like Frank Clark is Frank Clark, his DOB matches that on Frank Clark's MGoBlue bio.
When it rains it pours.
Michigan 92, Hillsdale 68
Dustin Johnston/UMHoops
They stuck to the script.
Michigan raises banners on opening day now. They did so again today, hoisting the 2014 Big Ten title banner to the rafters and handing out rings in a pregame ceremony. Continuing tradition, the biggest names from that championship squad weren't able to attend due to professional obligations; Glenn Robinson III was absent, and the parents of Mitch McGary, Nik Stauskas, and Jordan Morgan stood in for their sons who've taken the next step.
After all the hubbub before tipoff, a familiar scene for the returners but not for the squad's six freshmen, the Wolverines came out flat, allowing Hillsdale to ride hot outside shooting to a 15-6 lead. Then Michigan roared back by doing what they do best: shooting the rock. Three consecutive triples tied the score before M took the lead for good with a Kameron Chatman basket with 8:59 to go in the half.
Michigan leaned heavily on their veterans for production, and they came through in a big way. Caris LeVert flirted with a triple-double, posting a 20-8-9 line while hitting 4/6 three-point attempts. Derrick Walton may have been even better, leading the team with 22 points (5/8 FG, 9/10 FT), dishing out four assists, and masterfully running the Michigan fast break. Zak Irvin diversified his shooting a bit, adding several midrange buckets and even a few strong drives to the hoop on his way to 21 points on 8/12 field goals. The three stars lived up to the billing.
The rest, as expected, is a work-in-progress. Hillsdale knocked down 10/23 three-pointers in large part because the new faces in the lineup struggled on defense, especially working through the myriad off-ball screens set by the Chargers.
The freshmen showed their talent and their youth. Mark Donnal earned the start at center, had a couple nifty layups, worked hard on the offensive glass, hit a nice-looking mid-range jumper in the second half, and defended quite well for the most part, but also allowed a couple of easy buckets. Kam Chatman went 1/7 for 4 points in 30 minutes and allowed too many open shots; he also passed the ball well and had a stellar crossover in transition that led to an and-one opportunity.
Aubrey Dawkins sunk a three and seemingly reached into the upper bowl to rip down an offensive board in his limited time on the court. Ricky Doyle scored seven points in eight minutes but didn't look as quick to rotate on defense as Donnal. DJ Wilson played the entirety of his nine minutes at the five and pulled down four boards but didn't make a major impact otherwise. Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman missed his pair of shots in four minutes of play, though he did display the ability to blow by defenders.
While the victory was hardly in doubt for most of the game, Michigan wasn't able to truly put it away until around nine minutes remained, and the Wolverines extended a 12-point lead all the way out to 30 over the course of the next several minutes.
In the end, it felt like an early-season cupcake game should for such a young team. The team won comfortably while getting enough of a test to have several areas of improvement to emphasize before Monday night's game against Bucknell, this squad's first against D-I competition. In the meantime, Michigan fans can rest comfortably knowing that this team can still shoot (11/19 from three) and the stars look ready to shine.
The Weekly Six: Leaves Some Points on the Field
1. The Four Factors
|Expected Pts
|Conversion Rate
|Bonus Yds/Play
|Red Zone
*TD's are treated as 7 points regardless of PAT outcome
So Michigan had the field position for 35 points…and scored 10. Only 11 times this season has an offense left more than 25 points on the table in a game. With over 6 touchdowns worth of points left on the field, #M00N was the third worst game of the year in terms of points scored versus field position. Clemson-Louisville was slightly ahead and Saturday's lead-in game of Penn State versus Indiana was the worst of the year at 43.5 points below expected.
Season results
|Expected Pts
|Conversion Rate
|Bonus Yds/Play
|Red Zone
|26.0 (78/11)
|59% (108/12)
|2.0 (121/13)
|4.7 (91/10)
|26.2 (45/5)
|63% (18/6)
|1.7 (13/3)
|4.2 (10/1)
(National Rank/B1G Rank)
Saturday's game pushed Michigan to roughly neutral on field position for the year. The 2010 vs 2014 season mirror image continues in earnest. The offense can't convert 60% of it's first downs, is bottom ten in explosive plays is an absolutely anemic unit. The defense has struggled against the better teams, but is still top 20 in conversion rate and has done very well in limiting big plays and red zone scoring.
If you are wondering how Michigan isn't last in Bonus Yards in the Big Ten, despite being in the bottom 8, we have our opponents from Saturday to thank. Northwestern is second worst nationally, behind only Wake Forest which is threatening to set records for their lack of explosiveness.
2. Individual Performances
Devin Gardner: –9.8, –26% on 28 plays
Drake Johnson: –0.8, –2% on 10 plays
De'Veon Smith: +1.2, +13% on 18 plays
Devin Funchess: –3.3, –7% on 7 plays
The –9.8 for Gardner is before the opponent adjustment pushes it down another point. Gardner's 3 lowest rated games of his career are Northwestern, Utah and Michigan State from this season. It's like he was on a Saw movie and said if you don't want to be killed by your offensive line, you have to fight to survive by starting over in a new system in which you will fail miserably. I am thankful Devin has fought to survive, but I can't believe what he's become.
In terms of the running backs, I don't know what to say at this point. The statement from Hoke saying he is going with a hot hand is just silly. Hot hand is a pretty controversial concept to prove over large stretches, to think that one RB is performing better than another based on a handful of carries that are largely dependent on the guys in front is just silliness. This football season, man.
3. Game Chart
6. +12.7% Michigan stuffs Northwestern on second and goal (late Q4)
5. +13.1% Northwestern's 4th down pass falls incomplete (mid Q3)
4. +14.9% Jehu Chesson recovers the muffed punt (mid Q3)
3. –20.5% Raymon Taylor's pass interference gives Northwestern a 1st and Goal (late Q4)
2. –21.0% Devin Gardner is intercepted (-5.2%) and returned 79 yards (-15.8%) (late Q3)
1. +40.8% Frank Clark Shuts down the two point conversion (late Q4)
Michigan's best play on offense was the 16 yard completion to Jake Butt on the final field goal drive, worth about 5.5%. No rush or pass play made the top 6 for anything good that happened to either offense. Raymon Taylor PI was the closest thing.
4. Dumb Punt of the Week
Since I have been slacking the last few weeks we're going to go back a bit to pick what may be the dumbest punt of all time, at least in the first quarter.
Arkansas has a hard luck season, they are in the loaded SEC West and haven't won an SEC game in over two years. So far this season they lost then #6 Texas A&M in overtime and then #7 Alabama by 1 after a blocked PAT. So with a shot at the #1 team in the country in Mississippi State, they would pull out all the stops to get the win, right? It was early and Arkansas had a 3-0 lead and was driving. After getting the ball down to the MSU 32 yardline, the Razorbacks faced a 4th and 1. Obviously since this is DPotW, you know what happens next.
Arkansas would go on to lose 17-10; I'm sure they would love to have another possession with less than 40 yards to go to have a shot at OT, but that went out the door with the punt team. Since 2003, the only case I can find of a more egregious punt was in 2009 UConn punted on 4th and 1 from the Ohio 31.
Submissions are no closed, Dumb Punt of the Year voting is now closed.
5. Harbaugh
As you may have heard, Michigan may be looking for a new head coach and there is message board rumblings that it could be Jim Harbaugh. Not that he needs much introduction but I did want to put together a couple of quick graphics on how his Stanford teams performed.
Team Performance: Stanford vs Michigan
Harbaugh years in yellow, y-axis is opponent adjusted points versus average.
You can't get a much more dramatic change than Stanford experienced in the four years under Harbaugh. They went from the bottom of the Power 5 and nearly 9 points below average prior to him joining to over 15 points above average in his final season, with improvement demonstrated in each and every season. He even left the program in strong hands with Offensive Coordinator David Shaw taking the reigns and keeping results at a still high level. From an on-field perspective, it doesn't get any better than this. Took a program not doing well, consistently improved them, built up a strong staff that could continue at a high level after he left, but still demonstrating that he added some value while on the sideline.
On a side note, that blue line should silence any remaining voices about the viability of Hoke's retention, independent of season outcome. That is four consecutive years of production decline, going to take some pretty amazing performances for 2014 to even end close to 2013, which obviously wasn't great.
Recruiting Performance: Stanford versus Michigan
Stanford is a tough place to recruit at a high level and Michigan has traditionally operated at a different tier than Stanford. Harbaugh wasn't able to turn around recruiting momentum immediately the way a James Franklin type would, but you can see by the 2009-2010 results that once the wins started coming, Harbaugh was able to raise the Cardinal recruiting profile, which has remained high in his absence. Based on this limited evidence, it would appear that Harbaugh is likely not an elite recruiter, but one more than capable of recruiting at a high level.

Basketball season will be more fun than football!

LatinaLista — The overthrow of Honduras President Manuel Zelaya Rosales has created more than just a tiny country defying the world in defending their actions but it has created a surprising spin-off benefit -- the rise of citizen journalists.
Citizen Journalist Hunter Smith
Latina Lista first learned that U.S.-based news outlets were getting the wrong story out after hearing from Honduran-based bloggers that pointed out some crucial facts "overlooked" by mainstream media:
1. Zelaya had been breaking the law for several months and his last act was defying a Supreme Court order not to hold a referendum vote that would have extended his presidency.
2. Supporters of the overthrow of Zelaya outnumbered Zelaya's supporters and the protests held by so-called "coup supporters" were large and peaceful in contrast to the violence perpetuated by the Zelaya marches.
Most of the Honduras-based bloggers that have communicated with Latina Lista are, interestingly, American-born but living for one reason or another in Honduras. Because they speak English, understand what is happening in the country and saw how quickly the world was to condemn the "overthrow," these citizen journalists have taken it upon themselves to report the story as the majority of Hondurans see it.
The latest citizen journalist to take up the cause of getting the real story out has a story of his own. His name is Hunter Smith and he's a former Marine. While working in his parents' business waiting to start school in the fall, Hunter watched the news reports about Honduras.
In his mind, the stories didn't gel and he felt that the only way to get to the truth was to do something he had never dreamed of doing -- being a citizen journalist. So from July 3 to July 17, Hunter has been acting like a journalist -- chasing leads, interviewing officials and witnesses and writing up what he has uncovered on his blog Honduras Abandoned.
His insights lead to a very different story that mainstream media continues to report.
Always ready for a new adventure, I decided to go find out for myself. I was tired of biased news reports and I had to see for myself if this tiny Central American country truly underwent a coup, or if they legally removed a potential dictator and chose to be a free people.
This site is just a one trick pony. My stay here in Honduras is quickly coming to an end. Once I return to the States, I will no longer be updating on the situation here in Honduras. All I hoped for was to see what was truly happening and write about it on this little blog. If it was able to accurately inform at least one person, then I consider this venture a success.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- There will be better days for Maggie Lucas. There will be days of slightly less luminousness for Alex Bentley. But all that really mattered for Penn State was that Saturday was a good day in the middle of March.

Clichés and stilted dialogue make this novel of forgiveness fall flat. The characters are two-dimensional, except the larger-than-life father. The horse world details are interesting but can't redeem the book.
Still grieving over the deaths of his wife and son in a car crash, Wyatt restarts his late wife's horse therapy program for troubled teens. A clergyman convinces him to help a special troubled teen — the son of the drunk driver who caused the crash. Then he meets Gabby, the young man's mother, and is unprepared for the attraction. Both families work to find forgiveness and a way to move on from the tragedy that has affected them for five years. In addition, Gabby and Wyatt must face the Alzheimer's that is stealing the mind of his father, the tragedy of an unrequited love and family secrets revealed. (MORROW, Feb., 352 pp., $21.99)

Council to splash the cash on £600k pool revamp
/ News
A POPULAR swimming pool in Walton will be turned into a top class facility after an extra £400,000 was found to fund a major revamp.
Tendring Council had already set aside £200,000 to refurbish the pool by Bath House Meadow, near Walton seafront.
But plans have now been launched to treble the cash spent on the pool to fund a major upgrade.
The council is £667,000 better off than expected at the end of the financial year.
Councillors decided to add £400,000 of that excess into the Walton pool fund, bringing it up to a total of £600,000.
Tendring Council leader Mick Page said: "We already have £200,000 set aside for this site and we could just refurbish what is already there.
"Or we could think bigger and spend more money and expand the facility.
"I am currently discussing various options in consultation with other cabinet members and will put some firm proposals forward to cabinet over the next few months."
The bulk of the cash could be spent on improving the pool's subpar changing rooms and expanding to include a gym.

Call Me Maybe: Carly Rae Jepsen and the Perils of Network Partitions


text: I don't have a clear perception of how the following question is answered: "Two primary cells of emfs E1 and E2 respectively are joined in series with (i) the same polarity, and (ii) opposite polarities. The combination is connected through a galvanometer and a jockey to a potentiometer. The balancing lengths in the two cases are found to be 350 cm and 50 cm respectively. Find the ratio of E1 and E2." With a little bit of calculation I get the answer, 4:3. With the knowledge of the basic principle of potentiometer and from what I have learnt from my physics textbook, the sum of the two emfs is proportional to the length given in the first case, and when E2 is subtracted from E1, the result is proportional to the length given in the second case. I don't quite understand why the emfs are added when they are joined with the same polarity and subtracted when they are joined the other way round.

I think you all agree that Lebron and the Cavs would own the Sixers. Lebron could stomp the entire Sixers team if he felt like it. He'd be like, "I owned you -blam!-es. Including you, Iverson!

Black Fashion History Day a great success
By Rosa Bogar
Contributing Writer
October 21, 2012, was declared "Black Fashion History Day" by Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton. When the governor's Proclamation was read by "fashion enthusiast" Roger Clark to the crowd gathered at the Capri Theater in North Minneapolis that Sunday evening, it brought down the house with thunderous applause.

I'd like to create a Configuration object in OSGi, but one that won't be persisted, so it won't be there when the framework is restarted. Similar to START_TRANSIENT for bundles.
Some background: I've got an OSGi (Felix) based client side application, deployed over OBR. The configuration object I'm talking about effectively boots the application. That works fine, but sometimes the content has changed while the context was stopped. In that case, it boots the application as OSGi revives all bundles and adds all configuration options. Then I inject the correct configuration, the application stops and then restarts again.
So it does actually work, but the app starts twice, and I can't get access to the framework before it reconstructs its old state.
Any ideas?
