what's the risk here?
is the gold bull over? -- is the financial crisis over?
Buffet says gold makes no sense because it doesn't do anything. But his company Berkshire, when you look at his chart, shows that they've been trading sideways since 2008. A company that owns the a number of the world's best companies is unable to grow... the financial system "isn't" a system anymore! Gold may not do anything
so what's the risk? Time IMO
what you invest in today you will want to be in the sweet spot when the "owner's" of the world finally act to preserve their wealth. So where do you want to be?
Answer: Where the leverage is greatest and risk is lowest = New Carolin Gold

Battlestar Galactica Series Finale: "Daybreak, Part II"
View Single Post

Rear Admiral
Location: Am I a Cylon?
Re: Battlestar Galactica Series Finale: "Daybreak, Part II"
I finally got around to seeing Daybreak Pt. 2 on Saturday. It took me a while to digest everything I'd seen and reach an opinion (for now).
I actually waded through almost the entire thread here (which took me a while considering it's 30+ pages). At this point, there probably isn't very much I could add that hasn't already been said before. So I'll keep this relatively short.
When I was finished watching the episode, I didn't really know what to think. There were scenes I adored (Adama's and Roslin's final scenes, Baltar's final scenes, many of the flashback, and many other things) and scenes that left me feeling somewhat uncomfortable or unsatisfied (e.g. wanting to give Cavil resurrection technology or the scenes with the robots at the end).
And, certainly, the finale was quite different from what I'd expected. I'd expected it not to be what I expected but in a different way, if that makes any sense. So I needed a while to wade through where I was feeling uneasy because the episode was different from what I'd expected (which isn't a bad thing) and where it was because I actually wasn't fond of what happened.
Basically, there's really only one issue left that bothers me, and that's wanting to give Cavil resurrection technology. I don't understand why the characters would want to do that or why they think they could entrust Cavil with something that equalled a lot of power.
But in the end, that's not enough to knock the episode over for me by any means.
As a consequence, and after a lot of going back and forth, I decided to go with "Excellent" because I really feel the episode deserves it. It was complex, it was emotional, it was exciting, it was bold and daring, and it was IMHO a beautiful end to a beautiful story.
Interestingly, Daybreak perfectly lines up with something I've said a few times about this show. I think it's a show that's very much about hope. And Daybreak, on many different levels, is an episode about hope.
It's really sad to see this show go. It's sad to see the characters go. But I'm extremely grateful that I was in for the ride. This, so far, has been the most rewarding TV show I've ever seen. And my thanks go out to everyone who invested their talent, their dedication and their passion into making nuBSG - in my mind - a work of art that will be remembered for a long time in my opinion.
I look forward to re-watching S4.5. when it comes out, and I look forward to re-watching the entire series even more so. I think it will be amazing to go back to the Mini and realize the journey all those characters were about to embark upon.
I'll end with what is possibly my favorite quote from the episode or maybe even from the show:
"I laid out the cabin today. It's going to have an easterly view. You should see the light that we get here when the sun comes from behind those mountains. It's almost heavenly. It reminds me of you."

Drinking Water:
Safeguarding the District of Columbia's Supplies and Applying Lessons Learned to Other Systems
GAO-04-974T: Published: Jul 22, 2004. Publicly Released: Jul 22, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6225
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Concerns have been raised about lead in District of Columbia drinking water and how those charged with ensuring the safety of this water have carried out their responsibilities. The 1991 Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) requires water systems to protect drinking water from lead by, among other things, chemically treating it to reduce its corrosiveness and by monitoring tap water samples for evidence of lead corrosion. If enough samples show corrosion, water systems officials are required to notify and educate the public on lead health risks and undertake additional efforts. The Washington Aqueduct, owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, treats and sells water to the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (WASA), which delivers water to D.C. residents. EPA's Philadelphia Office is charged with overseeing these agencies. GAO is examining (1) the current structure and level of coordination among key government entities that implement the Safe Drinking Water Act's regulations for lead in the District of Columbia, (2) how other drinking water systems conducted public notification and outreach, (3) the availability of data necessary to determine which adult and child populations are at greatest risk of exposure to elevated lead levels, and what information WASA is gathering to help track their health, and (4) the state of research on the health effects of lead exposure. The testimony discusses preliminary results of GAO's work. GAO will report in full at a later date.
This statement discusses GAO's preliminary observations and highlights areas of further examination. One of the key relationships in the effort to ensure the safety of the District's drinking water is the one between WASA, the deliverer of water, and EPA's Philadelphia Office, which oversees WASA's compliance with drinking water regulations. Recent public statements and corrective actions by these parties clearly indicate that coordination and communication between them could have been better in the years preceding the current lead controversy. GAO's future work will examine (to the extent appropriate) the interrelationships among other key agencies (such as the Aqueduct and the D.C. Department of Health); how other water systems in similar situations interacted with federal, state, and local agencies; and what the experiences of these other jurisdictions may suggest concerning how improved coordination can better protect drinking water in the District of Columbia. Other water systems facing elevated lead levels used public notification and education practices that may offer lessons for conducting outreach to water customers. For example, some of the practices of the two water systems we have begun to examine--the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority and the Portland (Oregon) Water Bureau--include tailoring their communications to varied audiences in their service areas, testing the effectiveness of their communication materials, and linking demographic and infrastructure data to identify populations at greatest risk from lead in drinking water. WASA faces challenges in collecting the information needed to identify District citizens at greatest risk from lead in drinking water. Specifically, WASA has partial information on which of its customers have lead service lines, and is in the process of obtaining more complete information. GAO's future work will examine the efforts of other water systems to go one step further by linking data on at-risk populations (such as pregnant mothers, infants, and small children) with data on homes suspected of being served by lead service pipes and other plumbing fixtures that may leach lead into drinking water. Nationally, much is known about the hazards of lead once in the body and how lead from paint, soil, and dust enter the body, but little research has been done to determine actual lead exposure from drinking water, and the information that does exist is dated. In our future work, we will examine the plans of EPA and other organizations to fill this key information gap.

It may be hot now but the fall will be here before we know it and school will be in full swing. Natasha and Max are heading into grades five and eight this fall, hard to believe since it seems like just a year or two ago I was waiting at the Kindy door.
Getting prepared isn't quite the same as it used to be even five years ago, so here are some tips to help make it more affordable and simpler to get ahead.
Don't Spend Where You Don't Have To
*Do a quick check of what supplies you've already got so you don't waste money on items you don't need. Aside from a first day outfit if it's a "must", the same goes for clothes. Try to wait until October when the fall sales start, you'll save a ton on your kids clothing costs.
*If you're kids are returning to the same school, and paying a flat supplies fee is an option, determine if that is the way to go - or if it's better value to purchase the items on sale locally/online. Wait to see the class supplies list before stocking up.
*Check for sales and coupons to help out as well as friends who may want to split the costs on some bulk purchases. Showing your kids how to comparison shop is as valuable as a life lesson as it is for saving you money.
If your kids are attending University or College, have them look online for used current textbooks, it can save hundreds of dollars per semester.
*Musical instruments and sports gear: try to borrow first or rent until it's determined whether your child will be participating long-term. No point having a clarinet, tuba or trombone taking up space (or costing you big bucks) if it isn't going to get used.
Turn It into a Valuable Financial "Daily Life" Lesson
Back to school planning is a great opportunity to involve your kids in meaningful discussions about needs and wants, saving, comparison-shopping, planning and budgeting - and overall good decision making. Studies show kids and teens want to learn how to manage money, and they can't learn if they aren't involved - experiential learning is critical!
Ideas to save on a daily basis:
* Make lunches and drinks at home. This can easily add $5.00 - $7.00 a day to expenses, or $100.00 to $140 per month (yes, that's $1,000.00+ per year!) An added benefit is that the kids are less likely to have high sugar and caffeine drinks which are very toxic to our system long-term, especially for youth.
*Have your child walk, bike or bus to work instead of driving them. It's healthier for their body and brain if they get some exercise before sitting all day, and it saves you money - it's a "twofer"!
*Technology has clearly changed the way we live our lives. Your child's desire for to own it can provide a great opportunity to have them begin taking on personal financial responsibility when it comes to saving for tech "wants" and paying monthly fees. This is something they will likely be involved with the rest of their lives. Get them started young, so they begin to learn what it takes to manage their money in adulthood.
*Create an overall spending plan that shows exactly what you will be spending on fees, supplies, clothes etc. so you know exactly what you've spent this year and plan more easily for the years ahead. A simple spreadsheet like this one will do.
Planning for the school year is a big picture event with many details. Involve your kids and use this list to help you determine exactly what you have and what you may need to budget for, and then use it each year in the future so there are no surprises.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have tips that have helped you either here or at email@example.com.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!

There is little motel right on Rt. 1 in the town of Jonesboro called the Blueberry Patch. Yes, it is near the turnoff for Rt. 187. It is a sweet little place with tidy cabins as well. They have an outdoor pool. The place is extremely well maintained. Next door is a low-key family restaurant called The White House. Good chowdah!

The precise, unerring, delicately emphatic characterizations for which The Canterbury Tales is so famous are no more extraordinary than Chaucers utter mastery of English rhythms and his effortless versification. Ranging from animal fables to miniature epics of courtly love and savagely hilarious comedies of sexual comeuppance, these stories told by pilgrims on the way to the shrine of Thomas à Becket in Canterbury reveal a teeming, vital fourteenth-century English society on the verge of its Renaissance.

"These interim, proof-of-concept Phase 2 results are very encouraging and continue to suggest the potential of picoplatin as a neuropathy-sparing first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer," said Robert De Jager, M.D., chief medical officer of Poniard. "We continue to observe the study participants to obtain progression-free and overall survival data. We expect that those data will support our primary goal of developing picoplatin as a preferred platinum therapy for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who cannot tolerate the toxicity profile of currently marketed platinums."
About Picoplatin
Picoplatin is designed to overcome platinum resistance associated with chemotherapy in solid tumors. It has an improved safety profile relative to existing platinum-based cancer therapies. Picoplatin has been evaluated in more than 750 patients and has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in multiple indications with less severe kidney toxicity (nephrotoxicity) and nerve toxicity (neurotoxicity) than is commonly observed with other platinum chemotherapy drugs. It is being studied in multiple cancer indications, treatment combinations and in two formulations.
In addition to the Phase 2 clinical trial in CRC, Poniard is evaluating intravenous picoplatin in an ongoing pivotal Phase 3 trial, known as SPEAR (Study of Picoplatin Efficacy After Relapse), in small cell lung cancer. This registration trial currently is being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is evaluating overall survival as the primary endpoint. Picoplatin is also being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer. Oral picoplatin is being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in solid tumors. The

The explosive burble from the V10's exhaust coming off the back straight seems powerful enough to vaporize insects in mid-air. The Howitzer-like concussions shock through the firewall and slam into our spines an instant before the combustive dissonance has time to reverberate off the outside wall and into our eardrums. The menacing acoustics force the other cars on the circuit to back off, while trackside spectators crane their necks to look up and cheer as the Lamborghini rockets by.
We're at California Speedway attending the "The Ultimate Lamborghini Experience." This annual event allows owners to play with their exotics in a controlled environment free of driving citations and other pesky... um, slow cars. Since we don't own an Italian exotic, we have to thank Lamborghini of Beverly Hills for graciously bringing along the automaker's latest and greatest. In this case, it's the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera.

Part of the reason why Ryan Sedlacek felt a little at home this past weekend was that he was just an hour away from his actual hometown.The offensive tackle from Westport was also comforted by the sounds of the Huskies' entrance song, "Carmina Burana," when the recruits walked out from the locker room at Rentschler Field. Staples, his high school team, also walks onto the field with the song playing in the background.The trip to the stadium punctuated what Sedlacek described as an awesome trip.The 6-foot-3, 300-pound offensive tackle is hearing from schools such as Florida, Notre Dame, Penn State and Purdue and has picked up his only scholarship offer from Illinois within the past month. ...More...

Perry, Ducks agree to new five-year deal
The Anaheim Ducks took care of their No. 1 priority Tuesday, locking in rising offensive star and restricted free agent Corey Perry to a five-year deal worth a total of $26.625 million.
Perry, along with Ryan Getzlaf, represents the future of the Ducks' offensive lineup. GM Brian Burke was cognizant of the potential for another team to drop an offer sheet onto Perry's lap, as was the case a year ago when the Edmonton Oilers snapped up Dustin Penner.

Right now I've got two here a 3.5 and a 2.8 both are stiffer than any other lens I've got.
If you use the lens a lot it will loosen without spending the extra $$$. I have a friend who used a 3.5 for several years as his only lens and it could be focused by rolling the barrel with one finger. Talk about loose.

Dean and Me: A Love Storyby James Kaplan Jerry Lewis
Before the string of hit songs, the Rat Pack, and the stellar movie career, Dean Martin spent ten years partnering Jerry Lewis in one of the most successful double acts of show business history. In this wise-cracking yet candid memoir, Lewis recalls with crystal clarity the highs and lows of his relationship with Dean: remembering their first meeting on a New York street corner one spring afternoon, the early improvised performances in mob owned nightclubs, and the giddy days of Hollywood super-stardom, when it seemed the couples high-rolling lifestyle would last for ever. It didn't. On July 24th 1956, Dean and Jerry split and the two men weren't to speak to one another for twenty years. Jerry Lewis is one of the few surviving Hollywood legends from the period and he is a wonderful raconteur whose tales reveal much about Dean Martin's craftsmanship and enigmatic charm. In his own unique voice he evokes all the glamour of the era - the casinos, the endless pranks, the cocktails, the mobsters, and the women. He writes movingly too of the thrill of the youthful duo's sudden, startling success, and the slow sad erosion of the fun that followed.

You Cannot Be Seriousby James Kaplan John Mcenroe
Autobiography of tennis star.
You Cannot Be Seriousby James Kaplan John Mcenroe
John McEnroe was just an eighteen-year-old amateur from Queens when he stunned the tennis world by making it to the Wimbledon semifinals in 1977. He turned pro the following year after winning the NCAA singles title; three years later, he was ranked number one in the world. McEnroe dominated tennis in the eighties, winning three Wimbledon and four U. S. Open titles. His 1980 Wimbledon final match with Bjorn Borg is considered by many tennis experts to be the best match ever. You Cannot Be Serious is McEnroe at his most personal, a no-holds-barred examination of contemporary tennis, his championship seasons, his cantankerous on-court behavior, his marriage to Tatum O'Neal, his current roles as a devoted father, husband to pop star Patty Smyth, senior tennis tour player, and controversial television commentator, and much more. Funny, biting, close to the bone, this is exactly the book you'd expect-and want-from one of the most colorful figures of our time.

- The two main categories of games that can be played across multiple devices
- The three main types of advertising formats available to marketers and agencies with examples
- The most common performance models

- The future evolution of game advertising
On the importance of this guide, Sandro Camarao of MediaBrix, who led the Game Advertising Ecosystem Guide working group said: It is important for buyers to understand how to leverage gaming content for maximum brand impact. Gaming has grown exponentially, and with its growth, new opportunities for brands to forge emotional connections with key audiences. The IAB Games Ecosystem Guide comes at a critical time for buyers who are determining how best to integrate gaming into their media plan.
IAB Game Committee co-chairs added:
In looking forward to 2015, the IAB Games Committee will take deeper dives into each of the three main types of advertising formats to provide more guidance for marketers and agencies who seek to deploy game advertising in their content marketing strategy and media mix.
On a related note: Be sure to check out the IAB's recent (11/14) research study "Mobile Gamers: Who They Are, How They Shop, and How to Reach Them."

- Programmatic is more than RTB. There is a lot of confusion over the term programmatic, which many people mistakenly believe is only real-time bidding (RTB) or used only for remnant inventory. Ultimately programmatic is the process of buying and selling media in an automated fashion. This includes four main types of transactions - open auctions, invitation-only/private auctions, unreserved fixed rate/preferred deals, and automated guaranteed/programmatic guaranteed deals. Every time someone says the word "programmatic" make sure you ask what exactly they mean. Watch this Digital Simplified video that explains how one part of programmatic, RTB, works step by step.
- Lots of challenges still exist to enable programmatic to work. Concerns that were addressed throughout the event included transparency, fraud, and trust; limited understanding and knowledge; confusion over terminology; moving from direct response to branding dollars, moving from mostly standard banners to native, video, rising stars, and audio ad formats; internal organizational challenges for brands and publishers; and delivering different creative through programmatic.
- Programmatic is big and getting bigger. The programmatic market (including auction, and direct deals) is expected to top $10B in 2014 and grow to $20B by 2016. For now, RTB remains the dominant part of programmatic spending (92% in 2014), but is expected to fall to under 60% of total programmatic spend by 2016 as programmatic direct increases. Within RTB, open auctions account for 88% of total RTB spend, though this is changing with private marketplaces growing significantly faster. While display is still dominant for now, mobile and video programmatic are growing fast.
- Fraud and trust are big issues, but are being tackled by the industry. Bots and fraud have become a big issue mainly due to the large sums of money involved. The IAB and the industry are building a trust stack to tackle fraud, malware, piracy, and transparency and include these in a joint cross-industry accountability program) building on the existing Quality Assurance Guidelines. Advertisers and buyers should make sure they know their supply sources, choose their vendors carefully, and always remember "If it's too good to be true, it probably is!" Publishers need to ensure they are coordinating between sales, marketing, operations, and analytics to identify any strange traffic patterns and remember if they are doing audience extension they need to apply the same controls as buyers should.
- Publishers can hit a home run with programmatic video. The concern that programmatic has been perceived as a "race to the bottom" for rates and yield has not been the case in video due to restricted supply. Publishers can use programmatic to fund the creation of quality video content particularly by helping to monetize traffic spikes. Ultimately efficiency doesn't have to mean lower CPMs; it can also mean more effective engagement.
- Measurement matters even more in a programmatic world. Brand marketers are looking for transparency, inventory quality, and technology simplicity. Buyers should ensure they are reaching the right audience, use a consistent, comparable metric to plan, buy, and sell audiences, use brand data to ensure advertising resonates, and ultimately ensure that the campaign drives the desired action.
- Attribution is essential to effective programmatic spend. Last touch attribution is outdated and is like giving all the credit in a relay race to the last runner. Attribution models should incorporate the "first site visit" separating the funnel into prospecting and retargeting, and set the right incentives to each part.
- Brands in automotive are leveraging programmatic. Leading brands are looking beyond the simple retargeting of ads and embracing programmatic across the consumer path to purchase from unaware to loyal purchasers. The agency automation "stack" includes four layers - unified data platform, open access to media inventory, single metrics regime, and dynamic ad creation/production/serving platform. Brands are finally learning from programmatic media to employ new tactics in automated creative—not creating by machines, but optimizing ad variables based on real-time, impression level data.
- Publishers need to re-org to capture the value of programmatic. Publishers are adopting programmatic as a core part of their monetization strategy. However, this can pose internal challenges. The top five ways to build a successful programmatic publisher organization were the following: align incentives and compensation; educate direct sellers and have them attend Programmatic 101 training; programmatic team to focus on supporting direct sales (agencies) and covering programmatic buying entities (DSPs, trading desks, retargeters); establish a programmatic rate card; and have internal and external quarterly budget reviews.
- Creativity and programmatic are not enemies. Every ad should be dynamic and leverage the same audience signals used in programmatic media buying to make the creative relevant. This can be done by infusing first or third-party data on demographics, location, and previous website behavior to alter the headline call to action, image, or assets of the ad unit to ensure the message resonates with the user. Doing this can double yield on interaction rates and increase engagement by 50%.

If you are familiar with the story of the Tower of Babel, you're aware of the potential power behind a commonly understood language. When everyone accepts definitions in the same way, the chance of confusion is eliminated and time can be spent more efficiently in progressing forward rather than having to consistently translate various interpretations. Digital Video In-Stream Metrics serve this exact purpose for buyers and sellers of digital video in-stream advertising, and have played an important role in maturing the industry and supporting its evolution.
Digital video is a fast moving marketing channel undergoing a large amount of innovation and technical functionality, so the industry will need to periodically review and revise standards to reflect the needs of current practice. The last update to the metrics was in 2008, so IAB convened a working group to modernize the metrics but we found during comment periods that there were some prevailing questions that we chose to address outside of the document.
We hosted the webinar, Digital Video Metrics Modernized to provide an overview of the document and addressed those questions, and as an added layer of clarity we have outlined them in an FAQ. Ultimately, our goal is to enable growth in the industry. We do this by building and maintaining consensus around the use of these metrics and concepts so that buyers understand sellers and transparency is established.
FAQ Digital Video In-Stream Metric Definitions
Why not combine the metric definitions with the Impression Measurement Guidelines?
IAB Impression Measurement Guidelines, which have been developed for display, mobile and digital video, describe technical details for how an ad impression should be counted in each of the specified contexts. Each of the Impression Measurement Guidelines documents is used in the industry to establish sound measurement practices for ad impressions.
In contrast, the Digital Video In-Stream Metric Definition document, simply describe a baseline of interactive metrics that companies can voluntarily track in digital video. No technical guidelines are imposed for how each metric is measured, allowing companies make the best use of their technology while offering the Industry a common definition for select interactive digital video metrics.
Why isn't viewability covered in the update to metric definitions for digital in-stream video?
Viewability in digital video is a more complex issue than simply defining a term. The 2014 Digital In-Stream Video Metric Definitions only defines a baseline set of interactive metrics that the industry can use as a common lexicon. However, establishing common measurement practices for determining whether an ad is in view requires a process that identifies and addresses technical and operational challenges. The Make Measurements Make Sense (3MS) initiative is leading the efforts toward more effective impression measurements. As a standard becomes adopted in the industry, these metric definitions may be updated to reflect relevant changes.
We serve video ads into 300x250 placements on websites. Why is this being excluded from the definition for digital video in-stream video ads?
The format of an ad does not make it a digital video in-stream video ad; the context into which the ad is served defines digital in-stream video ads. The technology for receiving and executing ads is different and requires different resources when the ad is served into a webpage and when served into a video player. Video ads that are served into a webpage are commonly known as in-banner video ads and are executed by the browser. Separately, ads served into a player are received and executed by the player—each of which may be built using proprietary code. Therefore, only ads served to a player (video or otherwise), constitute a digital in-stream video ad.
What constitutes a "player?"
In the context of digital in-stream video, a player is a browser-based computer program that executes videos, animation, or games that streams publisher content.
One advertising strategy we use is to stream short clips of content along with ads into a display placement on a publisher's webpage. Our ads are played before, during, or after the content we serve, and they're served into a player. Are our ads considered digital in-stream video ads?
If the content being streamed belongs to the same publisher that also owns the webpage content into which you are serving the clips and ads, then yes. For example, a news publisher may post several short news clips in the sidebar of their page. Ads served into these news clips are considered digital in-stream video ads.
However, if the content belongs to publishers other than the one who owns the page content, and especially if that content is served to a display ad placement on the page, the content is a form of advertising. In this case, the content, as well as the ads served with it, are being served to the webpage and classified as in-page, or in-banner video ads.
Is mobile covered in this metric definition update?
Ads served into browser-based players that stream publisher content are considered digital in-stream ads, regardless of the device in which they play. However, mobile devices present some challenges to tracking ad interactions. Native players in mobile devices are capable of playing content while offline and therefore lack the persistent connection required for communicating ad interactions in real time. For now, the 2014 Digital In-Stream Video Metric Definitions are restricted to the context of live streaming content. However, to the extent possible, these metric definitions may be applied to native digital players in mobile.
Are the ads we serve into games considered digital in-stream video ads?
Yes, game publishers may sell ad inventory that is served into their browser-based game players. Ads served into these players are considered digital in-stream video ads.

In this, the final installment of the IABlog series, "IAB Asks NewFront Sellers," NewFront founders and presenters share what excites them the most with regard to digital video content, advertising, and the NewFronts. Here's what they had to say:
Ben Dietz, VP Sales & Business Development, VICE Media
We're excited about the IAB Rising Stars, in terms of their ability to incorporate video into certain units. We think longer-form video is going to continue to be a mode that people adopt. A quarter of all videos on YouTube right now are 20 minutes or longer. So there's a huge appetite and a huge shift in the desire to consume longer pieces of content. Ads can probably get longer and less "selly" as a result.
Jack Bamberger, Head of Agency and Industry Relations, AOL
People should attend AOL's NewFront on April 29th and they'll find out. We've got some surprises ad exciting announcements that we'll be unveiling at the NewFront separate from our slate. Last year we were very bold in measurement, very bold in original content, and there's no reason to expect anything but a continuation of AOL investing more in video. A great example is our acquisition from September of last year Adap.TV and what does that mean to the industry in terms of programmatic video.
Jonathan Perelman, GM of Video & VP Agency Strategy, BuzzFeed
It's about highlighting ways that brands can do really compelling, sharable, video content. That to me is not pre-roll or TrueView ads, but it's actually custom, bespoke, branded videos that tap into learnings and understandings about what makes video successful and doing that with brands. That's what I'm really excited about and what we at BuzzFeed have been doing and are really excited to do a lot more of.
Peter Naylor, SVP Advertising, Hulu
As content consumption continues to be a multi-screen experience, we will see more ad formats with the ability to run across different platforms. On Hulu, we see over 3,000 multi-platform combinations used to watch Hulu Plus each month. For example, I watch Hulu Plus on an iPhone, iPad and my PC. I find that stat to be highly illustrative of the direction consumers are headed. And we can't just follow where consumers are going, we have to always lead and be one step ahead. So, the ability to run ads across different platforms is a big trend. Another big trend - geo targeting, and ads that are targeted to local viewers.
The Hulu Upfront will take place April 30th in New York, and we're excited to talk about how we are staying ahead of industry trends and innovating in the space on behalf of our advertising partners, content partners and users. I don't want to give away too much (you'll have to wait for the upfront!) but we'll be sharing some new ways we can help advertisers reach their target audience through innovative new formats, alongside great new programming on our platform.
Jason Krebs, Head of Sales, and Erin McPherson, Chief Content Officer, Maker Studios
Krebs: Everything we've touched on [for this Q&A] are trends, because they're very early. Either it's Erin fielding different calls from new creators in Hollywood, traditional again, who've never done anything online. We have advertisers also asking us about potential new ways that we can take our creators and get them involved in their story. How are things happening socially? Are people sharing these? What are the view times? What are their browsing habits? Are they stumbling upon content? Are they tuning in? We have the whole subscription notion of YouYube. Many of the biggest subscribed channels in YouTube across the earth are Maker creators, and what does that mean? What's a publishing cycle look? How often should we be producing this content? Where are people coming from when they've come to that content? Where do they go after? All of these things. We haven't said the word data yet, so now I'm saying the word data. All those points are completely brand new. The trend of using all of that so everyone is better at what they do, advertisers and creators and consumers, it's all early on and very exciting.
McPherson: For a while now native has been a buzzword. People use that word loosely and broadly. We certainly use it when we're talking about advertising that is truly organic to the consumer. Native content can be a creative idea that we work on with a brand. Native can also encompass a kind of ad that we're in the early days of seeing in video. I'll call it a smart ad, a targeted ad, an ad that understands what consumers' behavior and interests are. We're in the early days with video in personalization, really being able to customize not just your video content, but your video ad experience.

Learn More & See Agenda
In this installment of the IABlog series, NewFront founders and presenters reveal how they see the relationship between emerging video consumption devices and good, old TV. We asked them:
There's a theory that mobile video and connected TV will start taking big chunks of consumer and advertising time out of basic cable fare. Is this happening? If not, why not?
Jonathan Perelman, GM of Video & VP Agency Strategy, BuzzFeed
Over half of our views are coming on mobile. I wrote something recently that said, for the last 7-10 years, people have been wondering if it's the year of mobile. The reality is every year is the year of mobile ever since then. I was on the subway this morning and someone was watching a full-on movie on their phone. That 5 years ago was not something anyone would ever consider. Mobile is only going to grow and become more and more important to consumers and thus to advertisers.
IAB: Do you think mobile is competing with TV at all audience time or advertising budget?
Perelman: No, but we do see a lot of BuzzFeed video being watched during primetime, which that means someone is presumably sitting on their sofa maybe watching something else while on a social network. Someone passes along a video to them, and they're going to click and play it while they're watching something else. So I think, there's maybe a burgeoning competition, but in terms of numbers and dollars it's not so much a completion.
Peter Naylor, SVP Advertising, Hulu
Everyone is limited to just 24 hours a day. That's a constant. The variable is how people choose to spend their time, of course. There's been a trend for many years that points to the rise of time spent with media and the rise of multi-tasking. So the media pie is getting bigger, but the slices of the pie are getting thinner. People now have the ability to time shift, device shift and place shift their media, and they are taking full advantage of all screens. We are essentially competing for mindshare and time share -quality content coupled with a best-in-class user experience is the key to being an essential part of a consumers daily entertainment choices.
Erin McPherson, Chief Content Officer, and Jason Krebs, Head of Sales, Maker Studios
McPherson: A lot of folks from the TV industry side say, "TV's never been healthier," which in many ways is true. The data I've looked at most recently showed consumption rising on traditional television platforms, as well as on digital. The secret here lies in—I won't even call it second screen because second screen has come to mean a screen that interplays with your first screen—I'll call it multiscreen. They are watching YouTube videos while they have the game on. Or they're watching video in their Facebook or Twitter feeds, while they've have a reality show on. So the television is on but are people watching? How are they watching and how are they engaging? At Maker, consumers don't just view, they engage.
Krebs: It's the classic lean back and lean forward. We have a lot of lean forward, people interacting with the content, with the comments, with the sharing, as well as interacting with the ads themselves. We have a pretty vibrant business in ad creative that is purely interactive, where people can dive in more.
Ben Dietz, VP Sales & Business Development, VICE Media
It's not like we study the Nielsen ratings and go "ABC morning news is down 20%." It's more anecdotal, what we hear from our millennial audience. They're consuming more on mobile. They're consuming more online. They're consuming more in a time-shifted fashion, and then beyond that they're looking deeper into content that falls outside of mainstream broadcasts. We hear loud and clear from our audience that they're shifting away, and that we believe very firmly that with audience will come dollars. It's not happening as quickly as we'd like and there are inequities in the marketplace such as the rate that we can get for mobile, which needs to come to parity quickly. But we see it happening, and it will happen more in the future.

Or select a state to list all senators and representatives from that state:
The United States Congress has an upper chamber called the Senate and a lower chamber called the House of Representatives (or "House" for short) which share the responsibilities of the legislative process to create federal statutory law.
The 50 states elect 2 senators each for staggered 6-year terms. A senator represents between 1 and 37 million people, depending on their state's population.
The day-to-day activities of the Senate are controlled largely by the political party holding the most seats, called the "majority party." Here is a count of senators by party:
The states are also divided into 435 congressional districts with a population of about 710,000 each. Each district elects a representative to the House of Representatives for a 2-year term.
As in the Senate, the day-to-day activities of the House are controlled by the "majority party." Here is a count of representatives by party:
In addition, the District of Columbia and the U.S.'s five island territories each send a non-voting delegate to the House. Puerto Rico's delegate is called the Resident Commissioner.
Each year we compile all of our statistics into a report card for each Member of Congress.
2014 Report Cards (for the 113th Congress (2013-2014); posted Jan. 16, 2015)
2013 Report Cards (for the 2013 legislative year; posted Jan. 8, 2014)
Congress works in two-year sessions tied to the elections. Each session is actually called a Congress and begins in the January of the year following an election.
We are currently in the 114th Congress which began on Jan 6, 2015. The 113th Congress ended on Jan 2, 2015.

7. Nordic currents shaped by topography
Surveys of the Nordic seas spanning more than 100 years reveal that warm waters from the North Atlantic flow along the eastern margin of the Nordic seas while cold waters from the Arctic flow south along the east coast of Greenland. However, how deep water circulates within these basins is not well known. Noting that the shape of the ocean bottom significantly constrains fluid motion in weakly stratified deep waters, Siland et al. study the positions of neutrally buoyant subsurface drifting floats that were deployed across the northern slope of the IcelandFaroe Ridge at a depth of 800 meters (2600 feet). They find that movement of the floats was tightly controlled by topography such that flow of intermediate waters within and the exchange between the basins took place along depth contours. By contrast, just upstream of the outflow
