Google Flight Search Taking Off
Image from: Buzzom
Google Flight launched in September 2011, providing consumers yet another option for travel shopping. It is most similar to meta search sites like Kayak, in that you search for flights using the tool, but are redirected elsewhere to book. However, unlike Kayak, Google only directs searchers to airline supplier sites (think aa.com) for booking rather than offering the option of booking with supplier or OTA.
To measure Google Flights' early performance, Compete assessed traffic volumes, quality of traffic, and engagement. Volume is based on unique visitors (no false positives from double-counting people that visit a site more than once in the same month), engagement is measured by time spent on the site and quality is measured by the extent to which the site is capturing high-activity travel researchers (based on inflow and outflow). All of these leverage Compete's industry-leading panel and patented normalization process.
Google Flight launched in September and reached a period-high 270k unique visitors and 300k visits. But activity quickly tapered off, so initial traffic may have been driven more by curiosity than real travel shopping Traffic has gradually recovered since, but the biggest change was the January lift in visits per person, to 1.19—the highest since launch.
On Board Engagement
We next measured engagement based on 'time spent on page.' The shorter time spent, presumably the less engaged. The pattern is similar to UVs and visits, with peak engagement at launch and in January. September results could again suggest visitors were driven by curiosity. The increase in December and January may suggest consumers starting to engage more with the site for travel purposes.
Air Traffic Control
To help validate the hypothesis that September traffic was curiosity-driven, Compete evaluated traffic sources from the News and Travel behavioral categories. Behavioral categories are collections of similar sites; sourcing means traffic from any one of the sites in the category to Google Flight. The Travel category includes but is not limited to supplier sites, OTAs, aggregators, meta search, and lead gen sites. The hypotheses would be validated by more traffic from news sites in September and more from travel sites later.
Indeed, referrals from news sites were highest in September at launch and then quickly tapered off (chart below). By January, referrals from travel sites dominate. The increase in travel site referrals suggests that real travel shoppers (not just those curious) are engaging with the site.
Next Steps
Google Flight is likely here to stay and at some point could add a booking engine, add the ability to pass searchers to many OTA sites, and expand into other travel areas. Given that, how can existing travel brands (suppliers and OTAs) keep their shoppers engaged and booking? Recommendations include:
- Monitor Google Flight traffic volume
- Google Flight traffic today is light compared to a site like Kayak but understand when and why it grows will inform when to respond
- Quantify visitor engagement in context
- How does the time spent on Google Flight compare to that on OTA flight paths? Which parts of the page is working best? Is the search feature easier to navigate
- Assess the quality of Google Flight visitors
- Investigate destination sites for Google Flight visitors
- How well does Google Flight traffic convert vs. traffic from other sites? Are Google Flight visitors from a given brand more likely to convert than those on the brand site directly or those deep linked from other sites? To what extent are non-partner OTAs losing bookings?

Roger Nusbaum submits: I had an article publish on TheStreet.com yesterday about the Claymore/Zacks Yield Hog ETF (NYSEARCA:CVY). I don't usually mention the articles I write for TSCM, but this fund is interesting and unique. As a client said he likes the idea, as I mention in the article, of letting it age a little bit but my initial reaction is positive.
The fund owns stocks, closed end funds, ADRs, preferred stocks, MLPs, pretty much anything. It is simply trying to capture yield where it can find it. The plus to this is that the product is intended to yield double what the other dividend ETFs yield. The negative is that it may be difficult to incorporate into a diversified portfolio because it really is a hodge podge of holdings.
The back tested results are outstanding. I will be curious to see if the fund can live up to the back test.

Books in storage not appearing on my nook's "My Documents"
Kovid suggested I move my question to the nook forum so here goes:
Using Calibre exclusively to manage the books on my reader, it appears that when I transfer the books over to my nook they don't show up in the My Documents section of my library. Sometimes they do but I don't know what the incantation is that makes it happen.
Nothing I've transferred in the last 30 days seems to be available.
I've done "Check for New Content" about 30 times for the most recent transfer but they're still not in the list (and therefore not readable). The files are definitely on the nook and are definitely valid epubs (I've opened several from the desktop reader application off the nook mounted as a drive).
Once previously I managed to get a recalcitrant set of epubs available by completely hard resetting my nook (back to factory defaults) and re-transferring the list of books in its entirety. Clearly this solution is sub-optimal.
Any ideas about why this might be happening? Is it perhaps a known issue and I just haven't researched well enough?
Thanks for your input.

I don't think this is a "known issue." I do not have any trouble in this area, so unfortunately, I think it is unique to your setup.
One question - does Calibre think that the PC lib and the Nook lib are in synch? - i.e. when you look at the Nook with Calibre, if I remember correctly it puts a check beside books that are in both places, or some other indicator. From what you are describing, from Calibre's point of view, everything is correct, right? I'm just asking for background.
If the above is true, maybe you could try deleting the Nook books using Calibre and then getting Calibre to resend the books, although somehow I'll bet you've already tried that.
One thing you could do is transfer the ebook files manually (with Windows Explorer), from the Calibre library to the Nook. If you do this, you do not need to send the entire subdirectory but just the epub files themselves. I'll bet that makes the ebooks appear in the Nook's My Documents on the Nook display. This will allow you to at least read them on the Nook, although it doesn't solve your problem with using Calibre as your organizer.

Device: B&N NOOK 3G
The only problem that I've had was on the 1.2 NOOK firmware, where if I transferred to the added microSD card, I had to turn NOOK off (white screen) and back on to get it to rescan the added card. I haven't had any problem since 1.3 came out.
So I'm shooting in the dark here.
First, I assume that you're using either a NOOK 3G or NOOK Wi-Fi with 1.5 software. Right?
Are these going onto the main card, or onto the microSD? If onto the main card, are they going into the 'my documents' folder or somewhere else?
Have you tried a power-off and power-on? That should restart all of the reading software.
Have you tried a full re-boot (not factory fallback): hold power button for 20 seconds and turn back on, once? That should restart Android as well as the reading software.
How many e-books have you added? NOOK was, at least in the past, reportedly limited to how many entries you could have in each folder (somewhere between 1000 and 1500). Putting the e-books into folders within folders helps. I think think that's why the NOOK plugin for Calibre was changed to put the e-book and its cover JPEG into a folder--that cut the number of entries in the root folder in half.
Is it plausible that there's a "bad e-book" in there? NOOK displays everything by author and title, and if an e-book is missing either of those fields, NOOK can get cranky. You'd probably have noticed that in Calibre, though.
There's no reason that Calibre would do this, so it'd be something you'd be doing yourself: NOOK reportedly has trouble if you rename e-books on the device itself (as opposed to deleting the old file and copying in one with the new name). Still, a Check for New Content should clear that up and you've done that.

Calibre does think the two setups are in sync. The "OnDevice" setting for all of the maybe 1500 books is correct.
I've tried the power cycle a few times and it didn't change anything.
I'm using the latest Calibre, but many of the files were added quite a while so maybe it's a "number of files in the folder" problem. There are 695 folders at the root of My Documents, and there's a folder with News that has 238 items. The next 2 largest folders have 40 items and then it rapidly falls off to 2 items each. A search in Calibre of "OnDevice:Main" produces a list of 1113 items.
metadata.calibre in the root directory is 11MB (11498223 to be precise).
I suppose it's possible that there exists a bad epub, but having spot-checked about 100 of them with the desktop reader (directly off the nook as a drive) and I've not seen any issue. That being said, it's still entirely possible that there's something wrong. However, the problem seems to exist with blocks of books added (i.e. when I add 30 books to the device, none of them show up). If that's a problem with the Nook firmware and anyone else has seen that issue, I'd like to know so we can work up a decent support request to B&N.
After a bit, I decided that I'd try a scorched-earth policy once again. I tagged all files on the device in Calibre with a special tag. I quit Calibre and deleted all the files from my documents on the nook's filesystem. I deleted the Calibre metadata file in the root directory. I re-started Calibre, selected my special tag and generated a new catalog in epub format for sending to the device. After a bit of metadata correction on the files, it generated and copied the catalog.
After ejecting, it started the "Checking for new items" and sucessfully determined that I had 3 books on-board (Tour, User Guide, and the catalog I just generatd).
I then copied all the files with the special tag back onto the device (a total of 1061 +3 books).
After about 45 seconds, the nook started another "Checking for new items".
After about 15 minutes, everything was as it should be. All books appear to be present, although my reading now was obviously not working and I had no working bookmarks for any of my books.
So what have I learned here? Unfortunately, only that there was a mysterious metadata issue/I had a bad epub, OR that the changed number of files is now OK.
I'll continue to post to this thread when and if the problem repeats itself. The only real issue here is with time and my bookmarks. I'm willing to accept the time cost, but losing my bookmarks is a real problem for me.

I have been having the same problem, I got my Nook for Christmas and im not really tech savvy or anything. I have some pdf files that wouldnt show up on my Nook, so i downloaded the newest version of Calibre and converted about 30 files.
I have a Mac and when I attach my Nook, it shows up in Calibre. I send the converted file to my device and it shows up in the Device Library in Calibre. But when I eject the Nook and restart it, it doesnt show up in My documents.
I have even tried manually copying the files from my Mac to the Nook (in My Documents). But it never shows up, not even when I restart the device or check for new content.
I dont know if I am doing something wrong or what, but I do have some PDF and other epubs in My documents that were on my Mac that i successfully transferred to my Nook (not through Calibre).
Can anyone guide me through what I should do? Thanks!

I've got around 4000 ePub files in My Documents, all put there via Calibre. I have Calibre set up to send the files to my external microSDHC card, with the following path:
Calibre/{author_sort[0]}/{author_sort}/{title}-{id}/{title} - {authors}
There's a limit to the number of 512 files/folders in the root directory of a FAT16 filesystem (I'm not sure, but I think the internal memory is set up as FAT16), so I would recommend that you set it up so that you don't have the path start with a {author_sort} or other Calibre varaible.

Oh, thanks for reviving the thread (I would have missed it otherwise). It's a very useful thing to know since I'm coming up on that many folders - woulda happened to me sooner or later! Such an easy fix too .

Breathe deep and ski hard.
If you assumed ZenOxide is something all the kids are doing now that nitrous is played out, well, you're half right. It's a hell of a good time, and everyone wants to be on it, but it's not what you think. Nope, the ZenOxide Carbon 105 Ski is G3's lightweight touring/powder ski that is back and unchanged for another season after blowing away the fast-and-light, big-mountain community these past few seasons.
Designed to bridge the gap between ultralight mountaineering and big-mountain powder skis, the ZenOxide weighs just over three pounds per ski, making it one of the lightest 105mm-waisted skis on the market. It's not some rando noodle, though, as it is made with G3's carbon fusion semi-cap construction with triaxial carbon-fiber laminates, which give it the torsional rigidity and fore-aft stiffness to charge and the lightness to make short work of the skintrack, so you can tack on pow lap after pow lap, without beating up your legs before you get to the top. All that lightweight carbon is laid above a paulownia and poplar wood core that gives the ZenOxide a smooth flex and lively feel when you're surfing through powder, outfitted with a Titanal mounting plate for strong and reliable binding installation, and topped off with a shiny nylon topsheet that resists UV rays to keep your skis from slowly fading in the sun.
The ZenOxide's a powder ski, but the backcountry serves up plenty of variable conditions when you're least expecting them, so G3 gave it a solid amount of traditional camber underfoot to increase power and hold when you need to lay down a solid edge. The early-rise tip gives the ability to float through powder and stay nimble in tight spots, while the ski's relatively long running surface and generous turning radius keeps you stable as a table when you're opening it up down big faces and pointing it out the bottom of tight chutes. It's also outfitted with burly steel edges and a fast and tough P-Tex 2000 Electra base to keep you moving fast and holding tight edges in everything from deep snow to unexpected windslab to springtime corn.
- Early rise tip, camber underfoot
- Carbon fusion semi-cap construction
- Poplar and paulownia wood core
- Triaxial stitched carbon fiber laminate
- 105mm waist width
- Rockwell C48 corrosion resistant edges
- 3lb 10oz per ski

Want to like the ski
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Had a G3 tech binding mounted on the ski, and enjoyed skiing it. Definitely a stiff ski that needs to be driven (once you show the ski who is boss it is a nice ride), though the bindings ripped out and the wood core doesn't inspire much confidence. Remounted, but the bindings, I am told, will come out again. Pretty disappointed. I am out of warranty and G3 is ignoring my humble requests to work something out, so will look else where for a more durable ski.
What are the specific weights per length? Thanks!
Robby, here ya go:
167 cm - 3.5 lbs
171 cm - 3.7 lbs
178 cm - 3.9 lbs
186 cm - 4.1 lbs
191cm - 4.2 lbs
Now they have a tolerance of + or - 3.5% so thats where you might see some slight differences.

One of Brittany Holberg's former attorneys on Tuesday denied claims the original defense team "threw" Holberg's 1998 capital murder trial in hopes of winning the case on appeal.
On March 13, 1998, a Randall County jury found Holberg, now 40, guilty of capital murder in the slaying of A.B. Towery Sr., 80. Towery was beaten and stabbed nearly 60 times on Nov. 13, 1996, in his southwest Amarillo apartment. Homicide investigators also found that a lamp pole had been shoved 5 inches down his throat.
In May, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ordered a Randall County court hearing to take testimony from Holberg's former lawyers and defense investigators about Holberg's trial, and claims her defense team "threw" the trial and admitted it to at least two witnesses, one of whom has since died.
Holberg, who was sentenced to death in 1998, was arrested Feb. 17, 1997, outside a McDonald's restaurant in Memphis, Tenn., after "America's Most Wanted" aired a segment on the case.
During Holberg's capital murder trial, defense attorneys argued Holberg was a prostitute who acted in self-defense. Randall County Criminal District Attorney James Farren argued Holberg killed Towery during a crack
cocaine-fueled rage.
During a hearing Tuesday in Randall County's 251st District Court, H. Christian L'Orange asked Cathy Dodson whether she "threw" Holberg's trial.
"Absolutely not," Dodson replied.
Dodson said the defense pursued witnesses, many of whom had criminal backgrounds or drug problems. One potential witness, Holberg's former husband, Ward Holberg, Dodson said, attempted to have Holberg sign away custody rights to the couple's daughter in exchange for his testimony.
Candace Norris, another of Holberg's original defense attorneys, testified Tuesday that the defense's main strategy for the punishment phase of the trial was to focus on claims that Holberg suffered from post-traumatic stress syndrome. The team hired an expert to walk them through the crime scene and sought to "humanize Holberg," she said. Norris said the defense faced a tough trial because Holberg had a criminal background.
"This crime scene was horrific," Norris testified. "We were in Randall County. ... They weren't going to feel sorry for someone who had a tough life."
Norris is expected to resume her testimony Wednesday.

We retrospectively investigated the annual incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from 1981 to 1988 in an urban and a rural area of central Spain. Two hundred and eighty-one patients presented with IBD; 193 ulcerative colitis (UC) and 88 Crohn's disease (CD) (prevalence 43.4/100,000 and 19.8/100,000, respectively). Of these patients, 168 were diagnosed for the first time during the study period. One hundred and eleven UC and 57 CD (incidence 3.16/100,000 and 1.61/ 100,000 respectively). Within the urban area, the UC incidence was 3.15/100,000 and the CD 1.87/100,000. In the rural area, the incidence for the UC was 3.25/ 100,000 and 0.86/100,000 for the CD. No sex differences were found. The incidence rates have increased significantly (p < 0.05) for CD in the study period. However, for UC rates did not change. During 1986-1988, the patient's age at the time of diagnosis was significantly lower than that of 1981-1983 (p < 0.05).

This program will provide you with a foundation of technical and professional knowledge necessary to deliver emergency services in local, state and federal government agencies, as well as the private sector. Study involves both management and technical aspects of law enforcement, fire protection, emergency medical services, emergency planning and emergency management.
Course work includes classroom and laboratory exercises that will introduce you to various aspects of emergency preparedness, protection, and enforcement. You will learn technical, managerial and administrative skills such as investigative principles, hazardous materials, codes, standards, emergency agency operations, emergency management, disaster response control and finance.
Career Outlook
Employment opportunities include ambulance services, fire/rescue agencies, law enforcement agencies, fire marshal offices, industrial firms, educational institutions, emergency management offices, government agencies and many private sector opportunities. Graduates will have opportunities for skilled and supervisory-level positions.
Flexible Schedule
This two-year degree program is designed for a student to work full-time in the public services field and attend school full-time on off-duty days. Nash Community College accomplishes this by offering ALL program classes online. The Emergency Management program was moved completely online in 2014 in an effort to allow our student to attend school while still working full time. The change to an all online curriculum also reflects changes in the profession as we move to an electronic era.

There are no formal teaching obligations associated with these positions, however the successful applicant will have the opportunity to guide more junior fellows, teach courses at various levels, and organize international meetings. The preferred starting date is Spring 2014, but this is negotiable. Applicants are requested to submit their electronic applications (including a cover letter, CV, publication list, a research statement, and three letters of recommendation) via this website. In order to receive full consideration, complete applications should be received by December 1st, 2013.
Exceptionally qualified applicants to this position might be considered, upon nomination by the selection committee, for a five (3+2) year Assistant Professorship in Theoretical Astrophysics at the NBIA.
The Theoretical Astrophysics Group at the NBIA is generously funded by an ERC Starting Grant and the Young Investigator Programme from the Villum Foundation, and is expected to grow significantly in the near future. The group strives for a comprehensive approach to astrophysics and has strong ties to the Computational Astrophysics Group. Current research areas encompass both theoretical and numerical aspects of accretion physics, solar physics, star and planet formation, as well as the inter-stellar and intra-cluster media. Candidates with overlapping interests and a solid background in the area of astrophysical fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics are particularly encouraged to apply. Strong analytical skills, and/or experience with high performance computing with MHD, radiative transfer, and/or particle-in-cell codes in conventional or GPU-accelerated hybrid architectures will be considered valuable assets.
The Niels Bohr International Academy functions as a primary center for fundamental research including theoretical and computational astrophysics, cosmology, high-energy particle physics, condensed matter physics, and bio-physics. Together with the NBI, the Academy hosts a large number of international visitors and workshops, as well as Summer Institutes and PhD Schools. The members of the Academy regularly interact and collaborate with members of the Astrophysics and Planetary Science Group and the Dark Cosmology Centre within the Niels Bohr Institute, as well as with members of the Centre for Star and Planet Formation at the Museum of Natural History of Denmark.
The University of Copenhagen wishes to reflect the diversity of society and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background. The primary criterion for the evaluation of candidates is scientific excellence.
Postdoctoral Fellows at the Niels Bohr Institute receive a competitive salary (including pension) and funds for travel and computing. Generous parental leave, state-subsidized childcare, vacation, and full medical care are provided to employees in Denmark. A favorable tax scheme is generally granted to international researchers.

My son is three weeks old and so far bf has gone pretty well. When he was just a few days old we saw a lactation consultant who said he had "a picture perfect" latch. Despite that, I still have had a lot of questions as a first time mother (it's so hard to know if my experience is "normal"!). These forums have been great at answering most of my questions, but there are two things I'm still not sure about.
First, when my son initially latches on, I think his tongue is raised so that my nipple is underneath it. He sucks a couple of times and either breaks the latch and we retry, or he manages to flip his tongue underneath. This isn't a major problem, but it does bother me--sometimes just mild discomfort, sometimes it's painful. Once he latches correctly he nurses fine (although I'm still a little sore at times, I think it's just the typical soreness and it seems to be lessening over time). Is this something I can correct? Will he outgrow it? I don't think he started doing this until 7-10 days ago.
Secondly, how important is it that his lips are flared out when he nurses? He doesn't usually automatically latch on that way. If it's not making me uncomfortable, can I leave his lips flat against my nipple? I can usually get his lips flared out (at least the bottom one), but if I don't have to do this I would like to know. I have continued to do it because I didn't want to learn any lessons the hard way (i.e. cracked nipples, low baby weight, etc.).

It's all about context

Well… Canada on Rails is over. There was an afterparty… and pictures will be uploaded in the next day. I had the priviledge of meeting many….many… many… talented… bright… and high maintenance people over the past few days. I went out of my way to go and introduce myself to several people and when you're a speaker it seems to make that process even easier for others to ask you how you use Rails to solve certain types of problems. As Legacy systems, databases are problems that many people are encountering… it was comforting that people at the conference were highly interested in learning more.
The afterparty was alright… it got really exciting when a few of us decided to venture to a pub away from the club where the party was. Within 30 minutes… everybody followed. I got stuck sitting next to DHH and we got to discuss many topics with each other… such as legacy systems and how AR can be bent a little in one direction… but it's not going to be the perfect solution for older problems. I have some work cut out for me. :-)
While I had him there… I was able to discuss prototyping with him. For example, does 37signals use prototypes that get thrown away? I'm not convinced that he'd agree with me... :but from how he described their process, which I can only assume is far from perfect and is evolving just as much as any of our processes… that they are onto something. It was entertaining and highly educational.
I have much more blogging to do…. and it's true… Thomas Fuchs is really a direct descendent of Bon Jovi… and David Goodlad is really a Good Lad from Canada.
I've been trying for awhile to convince people that AR works fine for existing - or legacy - databases. My favorite experience with that was mapping to a 100+ table database in ActiveRecord in a couple days. They had estimated 2-3 weeks just to upgrade their Java-based ORM to a new version.
It wasn't pretty, a lot of set_table_names and overridden column names, but the result blew everyone away.
I was glad see that legacy/AR interaction is something you guys are promoting!
It was great meeting you and Jeremy. Thanks for all the pictures. You should try and make it to MindCamp2.0 in Seattle.
it was great meeting you too! :-)

This is apparently a concept album, but the concept never calls attention to itself or steals the spotlight from the songs themselves. Even the scene-setting monologue at the start of the opening track, "Champagne Life," feels more like your typical R&B come-on. "Let's start it off sexy," he says, before welcoming listeners to the champagne life, where "trouble is a bubble in a champagne glass and dreams and reality are one in the same."
If lead single "Beautiful Monster" suggested an of-the-moment detour into clubland for the thinking-person's R&B star, most songs here are closer to a modern spin on "Thriller" - slick, melodic R&B by a vocalist whose upper register makes references to Michael Jackson unavoidable enough that I myself can not avoid them. But the thing is, no one's doing Michael Jackson better in 2010. Certainly not Usher. Even Michael hadn't made a better version of this album since his '80s prime.
The melodies are undeniable, from the smooth, midtempo R&B of "Champagne Life" and "Know Your Name" to the finger-popping neo-soul of "Crazy Love," which boasts the album's only guest appearance - Fabolous, whose lover's jealous ways make him "want to kick you and that Yorkie out" until he sizes up her assets as she's walking out.
The track to beat, though, is "Beautiful Monster," which sounds more like the kind of single Taio Cruz would drop (in a good way) than a well-sung tribute to the golden age of Michael (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Ne-Yo, "Libra Scale."
