How marketers can gain much-needed control over their analytics destiny.
We like to think we're ahead of the digital analytics game.
After all, we had the Digital Analytics Association (DAA) as long ago as 2004 (as the Web Analytics Association), and I remember feeling like we had already understood a great deal then. Well into its eighth year of working to solve digital marketing problems, the DAA has grown large and remains a bellwether for the industry (recently changing its name to expand measurement beyond "the web"). And given the same period of increasing relevance for analytics, it would be fair to expect the tools of the trade and the trades themselves to have resolved into a set of foolproof practices that everyone recognizes and implements.
We have certainly settled on some principles that seem to have staying power: visitor segmentation, conversion metrics, the organizational guidelines that comprise the "eBusiness 5 Step Optimization" plan, and of course the discipline of "Defining Key Performance Indicators," which provides a structured way of answering the question, "Why do you have a website?"
We have seen tool vendors offer more flexibility, greater accuracy, more interoperability, the measurement of the yet-unproven business value of social media; and the advent of "big data" analytics as if it were true that the secret to marketing success lay in knowing what kind of lint is in your customers' pockets. We have even seen great web analytics tools given away for free just so certain industry giants can own even more behavioral data and sell that intelligence to advertisers.
Tags Over Log Files
When we convinced marketers - some time ago now - that log files were not nearly accurate nor flexible enough to deliver business answers, we thought we had discovered the answer to mediocrity in analytics. We called it page-tagging. And now nearly every digital analytics solution relies on getting script onto content pages in order to track user activity. Tagging has made possible the accuracy and granularity needed to make digital analytics viable as a business tool. There are no alternatives in sight, except maybe panel-based metrics with extrapolation, or packet-sniffing, but these remain relatively unsuitable for the purpose of measuring your own site; or are found in a far corner of the digital zoo where perches the rara avis of technology.
And analytics would go swimmingly I'm sure, if tags were put where they belong and where everyone knows they must go. And if they were maintained with equal care as the content itself; as sites evolve; as business requirements change.
But they are not.
In fact, their non-placement can represent the very worst of threats to successful web analytics. It would be a fair bet that across the globe there are a shockingly high number of big-company analytics efforts that are completely bogged down upon the muddy steppes of tag placement due to a number of factors we'll outline below.
For a moment, imagine yourself in possession of a tagging strategy, a full set of tagging specifications, and a list of reports that you know will answer your business questions once all the tags are placed and the reports built out. Now imagine that you need to get the pages tagged.
What happens now?
3 Reasons Why You Need Tag Management
Let's go back to the very top of the column - to the title, in fact.
It's about tag management and the tools that help marketers get control of tagging. At this late date, it would seem almost perverse to suggest that any serious analytics campaign would leave this most central cog in the analytics wheel to the vicissitudes of developer cycles and general inattention. But it happens rather often, and begs a solution.
Not Developers' Fault (or Problem)
I want to make clear that we're not here bashing developers. They have enough to do already. They shouldn't be bothered with placing tags, when tag management tools like Ensighten, TagMan, and Tealium are available. These tools (and there may be others that have gone unmentioned) are focused on one key aspect of analytics: putting the power of tag placement and management squarely in the hands of marketers and those that work in tandem with marketers (like web analytics consultants). Of course, these tools do cost money. But so do developers, and they're already very busy. And having zero information about your content success is in most cases the most costly aspect of all.
This column isn't meant to tout the features of tag management tools or help rate one over another. What I'm asking is that digital marketers pay keen attention to my three reasons for needing them; and then in some way, shape, or form gain full control over tagging at their organization.
Take Control Now
With tag management tools, marketers can have just one tag placed on a page once, rather than many at many different times; and then run the entire remaining tag schema through the tag management tool. This means that any form of tag or custom tag can be placed, managed, QA'd, enabled, deployed, disabled, removed, made asynchronous, and forced to operate in conjunction with other page assets all through an interface that doesn't require knowledge of code placement, programming, or webmaster skills.
This way, marketers can gain much-needed control over their analytics destiny. For there is no analytics fate worse than a project that sits on hold for months while developers are busy with 10 other projects. And when you need to generate reports and insight for management, what is a marketer/analyst to do?
Blame the developers?
That won't work for very long. You'll end up getting unfriended by the folks in IT and that's never pretty.
So you need to manage your own tags (likely with tag management tools). You need to do it now.

Each designated campsite has a maximum limit for the number of people and stock allowed per night. The maximum stay per campsite varies from 1 to 3 nights per trip. Campfires are permitted only in established fire pits. Wood fires are not allowed in some backcountry campsites. A food storage pole is provided at most designated campsites so that food and attractants may be secured from bears. Neither hunting nor firearms are allowed in Yellowstone's backcountry.
Permits may be obtained only in person and no more than 48 hours in advance of your trip.Permits are available from most ranger stations and visitor centers. In order to obtain the best information on trail conditions, permits should be obtained from the ranger station or visitor center nearest to the area where your trip is to begin.

From Staff Reports
The Lovejoy Wildcats and Mundy's Mill Tigers are set to meet Wednesday on the baseball field.
They will take winning records into the game after victories on Monday afternoon.
Lovejoy 10, Morrow 0:
The Lovejoy High School baseball team is off to its best start since 2001--the year they went to the Final Four.
Monday afternoon, the Wildcats improved their record to 6-2 overall with a 10-0 victory over Morrow in a game called after six innings.
Despite the score, Lovejoy only led 4-0 heading into the sixth inning. That's when they broke open the contest, scoring six times in the inning.
"It was a really clean game," said Lovejoy coach Craig Chatman. "It was probably the best game we have played all year."
Vance Johnson improved to 2-0 on the year with a solid performance from the mound. He also had three hits.
Theo Hassan finished the game with two RBIs, Brandon Chisolm also drove in two runs and Mark Flournoy added an RBI.
Derell James stole three bases en route to the win.
Mundy's Mill 15, North Clayton 3:
The Mundy's Mill Tigers used a combination of solid pitching and timely hitting to beat North Clayton 15-3 in a game called after five innings by the mercy rule.
With the victory, the Tigers improve to 5-0 overall.
Anthony Hammonds picked up the win, improving to 3-0 overall. He finished the game with five strikeouts.
Robert Bell and Matt Wilson were perfect at the plate with 3-for-3 performances. They also knocked in three runs each.
Corey Harmon had two hits, including a home run.
Jonathan Whitted also had two hits.
"We are just trying to get better each time," said Mundy's Mill coach Patrick Smith.
Wednesday's game with the Wildcats is set for 5:30 p.m at Lovejoy.

PWM has switching of many times per microsecond.
What if one were to use a transistor and switch at say 100ms ?
Currently I plan to put it together with relays with a 20 second timebase using a percentage of time as the driving time for relays limited to 1 second on / off.
But MOSFETs would be better for driving them at a lower current.
So, if I drove them in software with a transistor such as:
digitalWrite(fan1, HIGH);
digitalWrite(fan1, LOW);
(The fan takes longer than 1 second to slow down )
This would be much slower than the analogWrite function yet still give reasonable results in driving the fans.
Is that workable, or is the current consideration in using the gate driver a problem?
Transistors are like 800mA, and gate drivers around 1A (I can't find a store in Au selling 6A gate drivers), in fact - this is the only gate driver I can find:
But it's 1A, I have 800mA transistors already!
I've already got the MOSFETs I plan to use:

- words by Hannah Slapper, styling by Rebecca Corbin-Murray
In 1988 a film came out written by Kevin Wade that inspired women all over the world. It told the tale of Tess McGill, a lowly secretary in an office who uses her wit, imagination and courage to get to where she really wants to be, despite her snobby superiors trying to crush her at every opportunity.
Aside from the fact that she manages to find love with a truly gorgeous Harrison Ford at the end, it was the sheer joy of the success story that suddenly had a whole generation of young women desperate to get to work and prove themselves.
The aspiring actress who played this part was Tess McGill, who managed to hold her own amongst co-stars Ford and Sigourney Weaver and was nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards, and won the Golden Globe for the same award.
As Hitchcock star, Tippi Hedren's daughter, Griffith was always going to be blessed with natural style and poise. At the time she was the epitome of the modern young woman: ambitious, beautiful, fierce and fabulous. The late '80s had absolutely inspirational stuff on the catwalk - filled with huge shoulders, geometric monochrome, and a full, shameless face of makeup. The best part was the intensely volume-injected hair - flat hair was not an option of the time.
Motilo are sensing that, as we discovered from researching what films, music and fashion to look out for in 2013, that women are about to take over the world. Sorry guys, but this is the year when feminism rings true, and the fairer sex become the front runners in almost every industry. Of course, we may be a little biased, but that is our general vibe.
So look to the queen of power dressing for your inspirational outfits as we all start going back to work in the new year. Be bold, and wear your tapered trousers with a strong court shoe and a classic white shirt. Show off those shoulders, spritz your hair with enough spray to create a cloud of glowing lustrous locks surrounding your immaculately made-up face. Remember to be as organised as Miss McGill with a new diary, and it doesn't hurt to pop on some smart-looking specs for a particularly important meeting. If we we women are going to be judged for how we look in the workplace, we at least want the outcome to be one of respect, and maybe a little fear.

Sarah Jessica Parker looks amazing at the 2014 MET Gala
- From: news.com.au
- May 06, 2014
OH, SJP. We knew you had it in you.
After a few misses on the red carpet of late, Sarah Jessica-Parker has finally nailed it in a stunning Oscar de la Renta gown at the Met Gala.
SJP was one of the first celebs to arrive at the Costume Institute Benefit Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The iconic annual event, said to be the "Oscars of fashion', celebrates the opening of the "Charles Brown: Beyond Fashion" exhibition.
The theme this year is White Tie — so the glam stakes have been raised extra high.
Here's the look from the back:
Here are the hair and jewels:

If Republicans Win, Have "the Terrorists" Already Won?
Paul Hogarth: Despite all the ranting right-wingers make about "terrorists" and how much they accuse liberals of being "un-American," their worldview has far more in common with Islamic fundamentalism – from a violent jingoism, to the treatment of gays and women, to a rejection of science. American Taliban is a much-needed dose of reality for the upcoming election, as Republicans magnify the non-issue of a proposed Islamic community center in Manhattan.

House Call: Arlene's Cozy Flat
Name: Arlene
Location: London, England
Hi — I live in this very comfortable one bedroom flat in London. It is very convenient location for me since I commute by public transport everyday. The flat has an open plan living room and kitchen. My living room is divided into multimedia room that double as a guest bedroom and my study which becomes a formal dining when I throw an occasional dinner party. Friends love the glamorous feel and think I spend a lot of money on it. But actually I spend very little, thanks to Ikea which is nearby and homebase. On occasion, I treat myself to more upbrand home decor. Enjoy!
Thanks, Arlene!

love this! are those curtains in the first two photos the same? love the daytime transparency and nighttime opaqueness. just what i'm looking for. let me guess, more ikea? sigh, i wish i had a local ikea.
I see your meh, and add flashback to 1986!
excepting for the anachronistic laptop.
the table set up is pretty bad. the bedroom is cute though.
I like this apartment. It feels welcoming and there are things to catch your eye w/ it being too busy. I'm partial to a mix of rich reds, deep grays, and warm whites :-)
Question: Do you find that sofa-bed (from IKEA, right?) comfortable for just lounging around? I have considered buying 5 or 6 of them instead of an extra-large sectional for my attic space. The seating has to be comfy for movies, music and conversation. These units would have the added benefits of fitting up the turned stairway (lol) and being able to be turned into beds for guests.
Ick to the curtains weirdly bunched at the bottom.
i have that same "London Pink" carpet in my flat in Greenwich :) love the red textiles.
I like the whimsical feel. It looks like a really fun place to hang out in. Nice blend of colors.
I like your bedroom, although the picture would look better without the laptop. The rest of the images of the house don't work for me and I don't know what to suggest...

Chief Judge Vaughn Walker (N.D. Cal.), who struck down Proposition 8′s ban on gay marriage in California, has denied a motion to stay his judgment pending appeal. This means that same-sex marriages in California can start
immediately after August 18 at 5 PM, assuming the Ninth Circuit doesn't grant a stay.
UPDATE (3:45 PM): No immediate gay weddings — see court order below (after the jump). Judge Walker denied a full stay pending appeal, but he did enter a stay of his judgment until August 18, 2010, at 5 PM PDT. This will give Prop 8 proponents time to appeal to the Ninth Circuit…
UPDATE (4:25 PM): Do they have standing to defend Prop 8 on the merits in the appellate court? There is a rub here. Read more after the jump.

How is everybody doing this day after bigotry was dealt a setback? Based on an Above the Law reader poll, about 80 percent of you think that Chief Judge Vaughn Walker (N.D. Cal.) did the right thing when he struck down California's Proposition 8.
So gay people in California may soon be able to engage in the lovely "sh** or get off the pot" conversation that dominates the life of every guy who has been dating the same girl for more than a couple of years. Yay, congratulations!
But are gays and lesbians really sure they want marriage equality? After the cake, the reception, and the honeymoon, there are a bunch of… obligations that attach to marriage. Just look at New York. We don't even have gay marriage here, and yet same-sex partners will find themselves on the hook for all sorts of things…

Our typical Lawyer of the Day is an attorney you've never heard of, from a firm you've never heard of. It's highly unusual for LOTD honors to go to a pair of legal titans, two of the nation's leading litigators: Ted Wells (pictured) and Marty Flumenbaum, the co-chair and former chair, respectively, of the celebrated litigation department at Paul Weiss.
It appears, however, that the honors are deserved. The New York Law Journal reports:
A New Jersey judge has sanctioned two firms, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and Lowenstein Sandler, for pursuing a "frivolous" and "ridiculous" legal claim on behalf of billionaire Ronald Perelman against his 85-year-old ex-father-in-law [Robert Cohen]….
Superior Court Judge Ellen L. Koblitz ruled that Perelman's attorneys should have known that the claim was unsupportable. "No competent attorney could have missed the frivolous nature of this promise claim once the unhelpful testamentary documents were received," Koblitz said in ordering the sanctions last Wednesday. "There was no legal or factual basis for the plaintiffs to proceed with their amended complaint given the evidence they had and the state of the law in New Jersey."
Ouch — quite the stinging benchslap. The Garden State hasn't seen such a slugging since the first season of Jersey Shore.
And other marquee names got dragged into this mess — a pair of high-powered lady lawyers, in fact….
Continue reading "Lawyers of the Day: Ted Wells and Marty Flumenbaum?"
So you've been laid off. What do you do? There are so many options: sulk; cry; send out résumés; try to sell your degree; spend time in the Above the Law comments section, complaining about your deadbeat firm…
Or you could take your 2009 Porsche Cayman S on a road trip across America. That's what a laid-off sixth-year associate did when she got canned by her prestigious AmLaw 20 firm. The associate from an East Coast office is keeping her identity under wraps, so we'll call her Porschia.
The "double ivy league educated corporate lawyer" started a blog about her adventures, called Driving with Gusto, which has beautiful photos of spacious skies, amber waves of grain, and purple mountain majesties.
While the Porsche is a manual, we wouldn't say she drives stick. Porschia is a lesbian, and so there are many fun tales of hot girl-on-girl action from across the fruited plains…

Lost Odyssey - Battle Conditions.

Artificial Fear Plays Final Fantasy 7 METAL.
i've watched this video so many times.
perhaps final fantasy 3 for ds. never got very far into it
final fantasy fans need to see this. metal versions of the battle themes of final fantasy 1 through 6
thats hard to believe. i prefer cecil(4), locke(6), sabin (6), zack (7cc), etc. you know, characters that arent huge cry babies. i mean sure, they improved on him in 13-2 but it doesnt make him even remotely one of the best characters in the series.
a lot of people think he's the best in the whole series. i can recognize that his magic is awesome but he really is a huge pussy. He is the "Hope" (FF13) of FF9

Some of the best brake upgrades are typically factory original equipment pilfered from a vehicle's more powerful or sportier brethren. The benefits of using OEM parts is that they are durable, give the peace of mind of a factory fit, and can clear almost any wheel. A classical example are the Mk V R32 345mm front brakes that can be applied to an Audi A3, Mk II TT, and all Mk V chassis Volkswagens. While it is possible to source these parts yourself, Autotech Sport Tuning has a one-stop shop combining all the parts needed into a ready-to-wear kit. Not only does the kit include the factory calipers, rotors, and dust shields, but Autotech also throws in stainless steel brake lines and performance brake pads.
Price: $1,299.95
Autotech Sport Tuning
As important as the oil and fuel coursing through your engine, brake fluid is the lifeblood of your brakes. Like all fluids, especially those subjected to constant heat, it will degrade over time and thus be unable to maintain the same pressure and braking capacity. Even on the shelf, stock brake fluid can be a ticking time-bomb with a limited shelf life, the main reason for the recommended brake fluid perfusion every two years or 24,000 miles under normal driving conditions. Motul's 660 polyglycol high-performance brake fluid has dry (617) and wet (339) boiling points to withstand extreme driving and weather conditions, preventing vapor lock, and brake fade. Not only does Motul exceed DOT 3 and 4 standards, it comes packaged with nitrogen to increase shelf life, and prevent moisture accumulation and ultimately contamination, making it a worthwhile investment.
Price: $31.00 (500mL bottle)
The rotors take the brunt of braking force and are consistently abused from constant spinning and stopping. For this reason rotors are subject to numerous ailments. Excessive heat can build from the friction generated by the clamping pads to stop their rotation, and then cooling during normal driving makes them more prone to warping, causing vibration and possibly making them crack over time. When they're at rest for long periods they can also be prone to rust. Power Slot rotors are machined with signature Vac-U-Slots that are cut in such a way that pushes out gas, dust, heat, and water from the brake pad surface, ensuring a better bite and reducing the risk of brake fade. While most rust will be scrubbed off the rotor surface during normal use, Power Slot's non-friction rotor surfaces feature a durable black e-coat designed to prevent corrosion and rust and maintain their good looks.
Price: Varies by application
Power Slot
Any job dealing with brakes usually requires two people, one to bleed the line and the other to pump the pedal to remove the air from the lines. The problem is, finding someone to help you is like trying to find someone to help you move, no one wants to do it. However, pumping is the most critical part since even one bubble left in the system from changing the lines or replacing the fluid, could equal catastrophic brake failure. Motive Products has developed a simple to use power bleeder that eliminates the need for a second person and ensures the removal of air bubbles is done correctly and completely. Pumping the tank creates pressure which helps force the all the old fluid and air out once the caliper bleeder is cracked.
Price: $54.95

I could not disagree more with Lawrence Harmon's "Car-free future? Not if you have a family to cart around" (Op-ed, July 13). Many families thrive in Boston without an automobile for transportation. My family is one of them, and with the right planning, there could be more.
We have two daughters, ages 5 and 2, and another due this fall. Our preferred mode of transportation is our cargo bike, which takes us to and from the kids' schools, the zoo, playgrounds, ice cream shops, and friends. An average trip is around 9 miles.

Day 7 in Rome
This morning saw our group at various places in the city: some sought the ancient edifice of the Pantheon where the Novus Ordo of Paul VI was said; others sought Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini where a solemn high Mass was offered according to the extraordinary form.
Both groups converged at the Circus Maximus in the afternoon where we began a pleasant stroll towards the Porta Capena and the Via Appia. Before passing through the ancient walls of the city, we visited the Baths of Caracalla, which, even ruined, are magnificent in their extent and height. We had hoped to pay a visit to the Church of Nereus and Achilleus, having just read Pope Damasus' hexameters in honor of them, but as we also experienced yesterday at Fossanova, this is a popular time for weddings!
So we walked past the church of these ancient soldiers and martyrs, and strolled out along the Via Appia. We stopped briefly at the church named for St. Peter's words, "Domine, quo vadis?", where we read from a text by Pseudo-Linus that explains this event. Then we made for the Catacombs of Domitilla, where a very kind German guide – who spoke Spanish fluently! – opened the place to us after hours and gave us a wonderful tour of the basilica of Pope Damasus and the catacombs upon which it had been built.
After dinner nearby, we read from St. Jerome's commentary on Ezekiel in which he recalls the time when, as a boy, he would visit the catacombs that, almost totally dark, felt like the underworld itself. It is brilliant that St. Jerome quotes both the Bible and Vergil's Aeneid to explain what he felt: Horror ubique animo, simul ipsa silentia terrent.

What's Making Us Happy This Week
Editor Picks for April 8
The start of ramp season, chalkboard planters, and our new favorite cracker stand-in are just a few of the things we're loving this week!
- "Linen and Sky" Febreze: Emma wants her house to smell like this always.
- Clif Bar: Kit's Organic Cherry + Pumpkin Seed Bar: Great flavor/texture combination!
- Popped Wheat Thins Sea Salt: Faith's new favorite cracker stand-in to serve with dips and hummus. Crunchy and toasty, and not too many calories either!
- Bela Sardines Lightly Smoked in Oil: Cambria loves these smushed on toast with a little bit of mustard. A quick high-protein lunch.
- Ramps! We adore these wild onions. Have you seen them yet in your grocery store or market?
- Chalkboard Planters from West Elm: Love the array of colors and the chalkboard finish — lovely details for a small herb garden.

Regarding the Febreze: No, just no. I don't want my home smelling of fake perfume. And if something is dirty, I want to clean it, not mask its odor with fake perfume.
Kit's organic bars are great! Minimal & Good ingredients. A bit hard to find. I hope that Cliff suceedswith this product and it remains available!!
You made my day with those Clif Kit's bars. I recently developed a couple of nut allergies and my allergist told me to avoid nuts completely. I used to depend on Larabars when I was traveling or spending a day snowboarding, and it's impossible to find a good protein bar (not just a granola bar) that doesn't have nuts. So happy to see they have a few seed varieties!
If you want something to spray as a refresher just get a small spray bottle, fill have with fabric softener and the rest with water, give it a shake and, voila! It's a quick fix to freshening up your home before guests come. Remember to open the windows too.

"What I regret most in my life are failures of kindness."
""Kindness" covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out."
"At 40 I was addicted. Not to success. I was addicted to trying my hardest. That's the reward in itself. It's what life's about. The struggle. It's the only way you can be proud. You can't be proud of luck."
"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

My advice is: find where you want to be, and work your way up the ranks.
That is what I did. I found a guild that was doing what I wanted, and managed to join. They were full on tanks (I was feral tank on BC), so I almost never got to raid. They were running T5/T6 content back then, and I was stuck doing Kara runs with the other "leftovers". Then one night one of the tanks was not there, and the usual replacement was not online either, and I've got my chance. After a couple weeks, I was the "usual replacement". A couple months later, I was one of the regular tanks.
It takes training and patience to find your spot. But, unless you are willing to work for it, you will never get there.

Hadoop, Moh's Law and Corollaries
Robert Novak's proposes Moh's law and Rob's corollaries to Hadoop and Big Data:
- Hadoop is hard.
- Make sure your're measuring what you think you're measuring.
- Make sure you're measuring what you need to be measuring.
For the first, I'm somehow confident that Cloudera and Hortonworks and others will finally solve it over time. But for the latter you are the only responsible. Not even a SaaS can save you.

Game Center Redux
More and more games are connecting to Game Center, but few use the platform for much beyond achievements. I sympathize with both users and developers. Apple hasn't exactly created an enticing platform for either party. To me, Game Center's failure stems from it's basis on old-school game marketing tactics, like challenging friends and community leaderboards. To the average user (whom most likely wasn't a gamer during the aforementioned Madden marketing age) Game Center is just boring.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Game Center has the potential to solve many iOS usability issues and foster a large, diverse gaming ecosystem by taking a cue from Newsstand and adopting a dedicated folder model. Within the folder icons could be dynamically arranged by date, similar to the Kindle, with the last played game in the pole position. Such a model promotes a healthy ecosystem, quietly moving exhausted games to the floor while promoting embraced, new arrivals.
A Newsstand model would also provide a less cluttered, game-centric entrance to the App Store through a dedicated "Store" button. Newsstand has shown the iOS home screen to be "prime real estate", capable of driving significant app sales. I'd even entertain the allowing Apple to drop a "Pick of the Week" game in an app icon slot, provided such recommendations were relevant and could be turned off by the user.
Even though a dedicated store entrance would surely drive sales, I doubt big game makers would take the bait. Each label wants to own their users, which quickly gridlocks discussions. EA, clinging to the dream of a successful Origin, never misses a chance to plug their own platform and fails to fix bugs with alternate multiplayer methods (I bet Scrabble becomes unbearable within 3 updates). Zynga and other social gaming companies require deep, fast analytics to offset the risk of their development investments by rapidly iterating their games, tuning a flop until it's mostly passable. I doubt Apple will allow such visibility, especially if it exposes individual level stats.
Apple was able to overcome similar hurdles with Newsstand by allowing users to opt-into publisher databases. Such a solution would be inadequate for the likes of EA and Zynga, who leverage their user data in more advanced ways. For now I imagine people will continue to craft their own solutions by stashing the Game Center app in a folder, three screens down.

I think it's the same with siblings to, everyone is always telling me I need to get along with my brother and love him, because someday we will "need each other" and have each other's backs but I want nothing to do with that sexist racist asshole. Why would I love someone that punches me all the time, breaks my glasses and tells me I'm ugly and fat and will never have a date or achieve any of my dreams? #geneticsdoesnotequallove
reminder that no one is required to love their parents because a lot of people do have genuinely shitty parents and if you invalidate people's feelings about their toxic parents i'll probably punch you in the throat
Having sex that results in a kid does not equal respect

Leahy convenes hearing on NSABy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | August 19,2013MONTPELIER He might not have anything good to say about Edward Snowden, but Sen. Patrick Leahy continues to assume center stage in the national debate the exiled contractors leaks have fueled.
Vermonts senior senator Friday announced he would convene yet another hearing on the National Security Agencys surveillance programs. Leahys announcement came hours after the Washington Post reported on an NSA audit, supplied by Snowden, that revealed the agency had improperly obtained thousands of private communications.
The revelation prompted some harsh words for the NSA from Leahy, who said the agency has sought to veil from public view elements of a spy program about which U.S. citizens deserve more information.
The American people rely on the intelligence community to provide forthright and complete information so that Congress and the courts can properly conduct oversight, Leahy said in a release. I remain concerned that we are still not getting straightforward answers from the NSA.
As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Leahy has long known about the NSA spying programs that the American public has only recently become aware of. While Leahy has said he thinks Snowden was wrong to release the information, he is using the outrage those leaks have provoked to push for heightened checks on the NSAs missions.
Using advanced surveillance technologies in secret demands close oversight and appropriate checks and balances, and the American people deserve no less than that, Leahy said Friday.
Last year, Leahy tried to increase oversight of the NSA, and the secret court that oversees it, by requiring an audit from the inspector general and shorter expiration dates on FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance) Court allowances. In the wake of the Snowden leaks, Leahy has renewed efforts to pass those provisions.
Now I think its going to have a good chance, so Im going to go back and try again, Leahy said during a Montpelier press conference in late June. Id like to have at least a broader reporting of what goes before the FISA Court.
Leahy said his push for greater transparency is driven in part by his awareness of what it is government agencies have deemed necessary to classify.
Im trying to be careful what I say, because I know all these programs and I know all the classified parts of them, Leahy said. But I also know theres a lot of whats classified that could easily be made public without damaging our security.

The conference was well attended by more than 300 medical providers, infection control practitioners and community leaders.
This year's conference addressed some of the ongoing challenges in TB control and prevention in NYC, including the implications of the changing epidemiology of TB, challenges of responding to the threat of highly drug resistant TB, the patterns and effects of ongoing TB transmission, updated infection control strategies used to prevent TB transmission in health-care settings and the Health Department's implementation of the QuantiFERON® TB-Gold Test. The conference also focused on cultural competence in TB care and explored the compelling true story of how TB changed one woman's life.
Welcome Remarks
Marie Dorsinville, RN, MPHNYC Health Department
The theme for World TB Day 2007 is "TB anywhere is TB everywhere." The theme conveys a message of urgency and shared responsibility, and contains supporting messages that focus on the importance of increased investment, stronger community involvement, strengthened research and development, and action against the threat of extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) and HIV-related TB.
On 24 March 2007, people from all over the globe will be taking part in the World TB Day campaign and the Health Department encourages you to join us in this effort by planning events in your community.

A crowsourced project on the value of $YELP advertising. ... your help needed
A crowsourced project on the value of $YELP advertising. ... your help needed
As you probably know, I think Yelp represents a terrible value. (Disclosure: short YELP) The company effectively charges a $600 CPM to customers, boiling down to about $23 a click. If you are extremely generous about conversions and assume 10% click -> conversion, that equates to a $230 CAC. Few businesses can support a $230 CAC. Any reasonable assumptions on CTR or CAC would lead people familiar with internet marketing to conclude Yelp is a horrible ad value. Yet some people strongly believe that Yelp delivers value. When I've reached out to Yelp advertisers, I've found a lot of unhappy customers. In fact, if you look at Yelp's own reviews on Yelp, they are different from most business. A lot of the business on Yelp have ratings that you'd expect, but skewed toward the high end. (4 stars) If you look at Yelp's reviews, they are bifurcated. A lot of 5 stars and a lot 1 stars. There are many more 1 stars than 5 stars. The 5 stars are typically from consumers; the 1 stars are typically from merchants. The average rating for Yelp is 2.5 stars, well below any business I'd ever patronize on Yelp. I've never met a company as hated by merchants as Yelp. So that's my position. But I'm always open to being proven wrong. (With, you know, actual facts. As opposed to ad hominem attacks.) So I will let the crowd pick 10 Yelp advertisers in San Francisco. (So it's clear I'm not stacking the deck.) Just tweet them at me. I will reach out to these businesses and ask them to talk on camera about their Yelp experience. I will present the entire interviews unedited. Then you can make your own judgment as to whether Yelp is delivering value. You are also welcome to suggest questions. Add them below or tweet at me.

Antinous sure is looking sassy.
I'm not quite sure of the exact details of this statue, but I know it's Antinous depicted as Apollo and it's safe to say it's done in marble.

You are here: HomeHealth Upcoming Events2012 Pet Census
The Health Department will be conducting its Biennial Pet Census this summer beginning June 15th. This is a door-to-door survey throughout the City of Englewood to determine the number of domestic cats and dogs, and to check their licensing and rabies immunization status. The census helps to administratively monitor the cats and dogs in town, and helps protect the community against rabies by ensuring that the pets are licensed and immunized.
This summer, we will be using college students to conduct the census, supervised by experienced persons and staff. All of the census workers have received an intensive orientation and training and are young people with good references and satisfactory backgrounds. The students are considered staff of the Health Department during this period, and will carry identification and wear Health Department t-shirts. We are asking for the cooperation and support of all Englewood residents to enable us to maintain proper records of all domestic pets in Englewood.
Unlicensed pets pose a serious health threat to the community. Everyone has a responsibility to themselves and their community. If you notice an unlicensed pet, please contact the Health Department immediately. Most animal complaints received and investigated come from neighbors, usually dealing with noise related to barking, dogs running at large, and neighbors not picking up after their pets (poop and scoop). It's important to be considerate of your neighbor and help keep your community clean.
We have also discovered, through bite reports, a number of dogs that were not licensed and immunized. This represents a lack of responsibility of the owner, not only to their animals, but also to the health and well-being of the community at large. The census will help us to follow up on unlicensed animals to ensure that we keep Englewood healthy and safe. If you have questions regarding the Pet Census, please contact Matt Traudt, or Nelson Xavier Cruz, at (201) 568-3450.
