B2B Lead Generation without Lead Nurturing is Doomed to Fail
Industrial Marketing Today
Here's the shocking reality of B2B lead generation – 79% of marketing leads never convert into sales opportunities. B2B marketing and lead generation experts point to a lack of lead nurturing as the primary cause of this poor performance. Why is lead nurturing important? Handing off these semi-qualified and not sales ready leads to sales before adequate lead nurturing only reinforces the impression that "marketing generates crappy leads.". So, less than 10% of all leads are actually followed up.". What is lead nurturing?

Marketing Automation Trends for 2010
In this post I want to focus on the trends in Marketing Automation for 2010. Manager, Inbound Marketing, Marketo. The vast majority of leads generated on a website never have a meaningful conversation with a sales rep. If there is no mechanism to pass the lead back to the marketing team (in an automated or semi-automated fashion), the lead is gone forever. Marketing automation solutions can facilitate remarketing to inactive leads, or so-called lead recycling, which helps drive value from a marketer's most valuable asset, his or her lead database.

Why Put Another $25 Million Into Marketo?
Customer Experience Matrix
So.our friends at Marketo announced today that they've received another $25 million in venture funding. Marketo's strategy has been clear from the start: spend heavily to establish a strong position despite a relatively late start in the market. Obviously Marketo has a plan in mind and has convinced some pretty savvy investors that it makes sense. Certainly Marketo could be acquired by one of those companies but I don't think the price would be high enough to make the VCs happy. Where does this all lead, both for Marketo and its competitors? lost track."

21 Tips & Other Impressions from the Marketo User Summit
The Point
Earlier this week, Marketo , the marketing automation company, held its second ever user conference in San Francisco. As a Marketo agency partner, I attended along with colleagues from Spear Marketing Group to greet clients, talk shop, and hear how other companies – including Marketo themselves – are putting technology to use in the service of improved lead management. From Marketo's perspective, I understand the need to frame marketing automation in ever more mission-critical terms. I'm just not sure the rest of us are quite there yet. It's all heady stuff.
Why I've Joined Marketo
Most readers of this blog will know that I'm passionate about Marketing Automation and Lead Management. To accelerate this learning process I've decided to join the Marketo consulting team, in which I can focus 100% on Marketing Automation and Lead Management. Marketo gives me access to more projects, and also the interesting projects that I wouldn't be able to get as an independent consultant. Both of those are independent from Marketo, and done in my own time. As LeadSloth I did a lot of blogging, but my consulting practice paid the bills.
If You Want Better Leads, Set Your Content Free
Industrial Marketing Today
What does that have to do with lead generation and content marketing? Traditional lead generation tactics usually involves creating some valuable marketing content such as a white paper to use as a giveaway for the purpose of collecting names and email addresses. However, is gated content still an effective lead generation tactic in the current environment of social media, RSS feeds, Slideshare and Docstoc? There are some high-profile B2B marketers who are openly challenging the old ways of generating leads. Trust me, there is a connection. Let me explain.

Marketo's Enterprise Edition and Revenue Cycle Management: Looking Under the Hood
Customer Experience Matrix
Summary: Marketo continues to follow its own path. finally caught up with Marketo for a briefing on their Enterprise Edition (announced in March) and Revenue Cycle Analytics (announced in May).

User roles (but not lead partitions or workspaces) are now available in Marketo's Professional Edition as well. It seems that Marketo disagrees.

Beach and water activities abound with both Cove, bay and oceanfront beaches at your doorstep or a short distance auto drive and even shorter boat ride. Oversized in ground Heated Pool with beautiful landscaping, furniture and all the toys.
This is our extended family 'enclave' shared by a close knit family. Grandmother, Grandfather, Son and Daughter and their children share and gather at this home. We are out at the house most weeks and weekends in the summer and other times throughout the year. We are from the New York City area (Queens and Long Island) and we love the respite from the hustle and bustle of the city when we are 'out East' at our beach/pool house.
Ken DeLaurentis or Nicole DeLaurentis or Barbara DeLaurentis purchased this house in 2000
One of a kind beautiful property with spectacular specimen trees and landscape design. Unusual and extensive decks provide outdoor living at its best. Beautiful in ground heated pool put in 3 years ago--we love it. Just steps down a private path to the shared dock good for 2 boats or kayak use. Go to website for more photos.
When you are upstairs in the main living area of our home, you are surrounded by trees and water in soothing, peacefully private enclave. Your troubles fade as you gaze out the windows or off the decks. A truly relaxing place and it can be a great place to gather with friends and family.
See web photos at the below link.
Wonderful house for entertaining or just chillin'. The pool in the back yard was private and perfect for Family bbqs. The two decks made for additonal places to read or congregate and talk with ppl. The owners are super super nice and accomodating. All round just great week!
Stayed at this house last week and it was one of the best houses that we have ever rented. Great kitchen, FANTASTIC!!! pool area and wonderful views from every window. Grilling options from two locations, wonderful game room, different decks to choose to sit on and simply put a very wonderful house to chill in or entertain. Five stars are not enough...
Beautiful house with lots of character. The backyard is very spacious and offers a great playing area for the kids. It also contains a decent size pool which gets wonderful sun exposure for most of the day. The second floor and third floor verandas offer beautiful, breezy 360 degree views and excellent star gazing opportunities. A quick drive from many activities. Wonderful place to spend a vacation and great owners to deal with. Looking forward to booking again next year.
The house is just gorgeous, comfortable and spacious.
We are a family of four and we enjoyed the house very much. But what we enjoyed most of all is the peace. Our favorite place inside the house was the pool and the backyard, which is very secure for kids.
Our other favorite place in the house was the deck, I have 2 kids, and they loved to go fishing every morning in the private deck. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We can't wait for the next summer to rent this house again.
We are a family of four, 2 adults and two children (14 and 10 yrs). We rented this house in August.
The house is very comfortable with a well designed layout (bedrooms on lower floor where its cooler and shadier and family living space upstairs where there is sun, breeze, and views.
The house has terraces that wrap around the house, including an observation deck (3rd floor technically) that has views across Moriches bay. The house is situated on Moriches Bay and is set back from the bay with a private walkway to its dock on the bay (FYI: daily boat rentals just a few minutes from the dock at Silly Lilly fishing station!).
The house is on a spacious and tree lined parcel which gives it a very private feel. The grounds include a large, very well maintained pool with a furnished deck on a lawn large enough to play nearby the pool. The pool area was a huge hit for the whole family and our guests and we spent much time at the pool swimming, playing, cooling off after returning from local jaunts, picnicking and star-gazing in the evening while roasting marshmallows over the fire pit.
The comfortable and private setting of this house made it so relaxing, that we didn't feel much like going out! We'll miss having breakfasts out on the back, covered deck enjoying the breeze and watching deer and bunny rabbits scurry across the yard!
The back bedroom has a small office area/desk which allowed us to do office work from the house.
The homeowners are gracious people who went to great lengths to make sure everything was functional and comfortable from the moment we arrived and made sure the gardeners and pool maintenance staff came to tend the grounds & pool. The house is also convenient to reach with an LIRR station approx. 10 min and a Jitney approx. 15min away. We were also able to fly into the Spadaro public airport less approx. 5 min away and which has very reasonable overnight charges.
We highly recommend this home and its gracious homeowners!
A large group of my friends and I rented the house for 4th of July weekend. There was more than enough space for us all to sleep and the interior of the house was beautiful; comfortable beds, nice furniture and linens. The pool is massive and we enjoyed the two grills and numerous outside eating areas. Definitely a good bet for anyone looking to escape the city and doesn't care about being in the Hamptons scene.
Located right on the Moriches bay only minutes to the Moriches inlet. Bring your own boat or Kayak or rentals are available 5 mins away. Tanger Outlets 15 minutes away. Westhampton beach Town 15 Mins. Southampton Town 30 mins away. Hampton bays 25 mins away. Riverhead Town 20 mins away.

BALTIMORE (AP) - The rainout of Friday night's game between the Dodgers and Baltimore Orioles provided slumping Los Angeles with a second straight day off, although it didn't feel that way to manager Don Mattingly.
Los Angeles got in batting practice before the rain started. The game never got under way and was finally called after a delay of nearly two hours.
The Dodgers arrived in Baltimore on Thursday, so they've gone two straight days without playing a game.
"Today really wasn't really a day off," Mattingly said.
Given that the Dodgers arrived at the clubhouse around 3:30 and didn't leave until shortly before 9, he had a point.
This is the Dodgers' only visit to Camden Yards this season, so the teams will play a split-doubleheader on Saturday. The first game will start at 1:05 p.m. and the second at 7:05 p.m.
Los Angeles hasn't visited Camden Yards since 2002. The teams also met in California in 2004.
The Dodgers entered the game mired in a four-game losing streak. Los Angeles scored only seven runs during the skid, which included a three-game sweep by the visiting San Diego Padres.
Hyun-Jin Ryu, who was scheduled to start for the Dodgers on Friday night, will start Saturday afternoon against Baltimore's Jason Hammel. Josh Beckett will start for the Los Angeles in the nightcap against left-hander Wei-Yin Chen.
"Puts guys on the same time," Mattingly said. "Gives Ryu an extra day, so he will be on regular rest."
The Dodgers are mired in a four-game losing streak. Los Angeles scored only seven runs during the skid, which included a three-game sweep by the visiting San Diego Padres.
Baltimore is in the midst of a nine-game homestand that began with a series win over Tampa Bay. After facing AL East foes Boston, the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay in succession, getting ready for the Dodgers and interleague play was quite a change for the Orioles.
"It's a real challenge for your time," manager Buck Showalter. "We were here until well after midnight (Thursday) and today spent the whole day trying to gather the information our players need to know. It was one of those days where you close your door from noon to 3 trying to get everything done."
The Orioles are quite familiar with two of the hottest Dodgers, Adrian Gonzalez (.407 batting average) and Carl Crawford (.375), both of whom played with Boston last season..

This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. �365 of International Application PCT/FR02/01826 filed May 31, 2002, which claims the benefit of French Patent Application No. 01/10264 filed Jul. 31, 2001.
The invention concerns a method of transmitting audiovisual programmes in at least one terminal linked to a network as well as a terminal implementing the method and a server for transmitting the programmes to the terminals. The invention applies more particularly when the reception of the audiovisual programmes is conditional upon a payment.
The context of the present invention is that of audiovisual servers capable of supplying audiovisual programmes on demand, and of any domestic device capable of displaying audiovisual programmes received from a terrestrial, microwave or satellite network and communicating with a server with the aid of a broadcast network. The audiovisual programme is typically transmitted over a one-way broadcast network. Access to the audiovisual programmes is usually conditional upon a payment by the user of the device. Electronic Program Guides (EPG for short) offer users a catalogue of audiovisual programmes, and particularly films. The user chooses a programme from this catalogue and after paying for the access rights, he receives the means of viewing it in clear. The programme is transmitted in encrypted form over the broadcast network and the receiver decrypts the programme by means of a previously received code. Another way of operating consists in setting up a call with the server supplying the programmes, interrogating its catalogue, and downloading the programme after a payment. The price, which is fixed by the programme supplier, is usually displayed by the EPG, so that the user knows the cost of the operation before committing himself.
Certain devices have a hard disk or some other means of storing programmes (cassette, cartridge, DVD-RAM, etc.). A programme can then be downloaded over the network directly to the hard disk, in compressed form, irrespective of the display constraints. The programme can then be downloaded at any moment, without the user's intervention, and at a time that does not disturb him, at night for example. The programme is stored as it is received. During viewing, the device reads the programme from the storage means, decompresses it and sends the audiovisual signals to a screen.
In fact the profitability of a download fluctuates considerably depending on the circumstances. One of the aims of the present invention is to be able to optimise the profitability of such downloads.
For this purpose, the invention concerns a method of transmitting audiovisual programmes from a server to at least one terminal comprising a first step of viewing a catalogue of downloadable audiovisual programmes on the terminal, characterized in that it comprises the following chronological steps:
at the terminal:
and at the server:
if the decision to transmit the programme is taken:
In this way, the present solution means that the server does not have to propose at a low price a programme which, downloaded to a restricted population of users, will not be profitable for the server. Contrary to prior art which discloses a fixed programme price, the price in the invention can be fixed by the users according to their interests and validated by the server according to the profitability.
As an improvement, the analysis step is activated after a determined time from the moment when the programme is placed in the catalogue. As a variant, the analysis step is activated after a determined number of propositions have been received.
As an improvement, the server sends to the terminals a notification indicating after the analysis step that it has decided not to transmit the programme. This notification may include an indication of the reason for the server's refusal to transmit the programme. This notification may also include a parameter value which, incorporated in a proposition, would enable the user to view the programme.
As another improvement, the proposition transmitted by a terminal includes an indication determining a subset of programmes from the catalogue, for example a precise topic. The server then selects from the subset a programme the transmission of which complies with the server's own criteria. As another improvement, the decision to transmit a programme is preferably taken when many users have proposed that programme. In this way, the present invention enables the server to download programmes only to a number of users known in advance and to defer the download or remove that programme from the catalogue if this number is too low.
As a final improvement, the method comprises a step of recording the programme that one wishes to receive under certain conditions on the terminals.
The present invention also concerns an audiovisual terminal comprising a central processor unit, a means of receiving audiovisual programmes, a means of two-way communication with a network, a means of displaying a catalogue of available programmes and a means of selecting an audiovisual programme, characterized in that it also comprises a means of generating at least one parameter such as the price and/or deadline, associated with the downloading of at least one selected programme, a first means of transmitting to the network a proposition comprising at least one programme identifier and the parameter entered, and a means of receiving an agreement to download the programme according to the previously generated parameter.
The present invention also concerns a server comprising a database containing audiovisual programmes, the server having a communication interface for establishing a link with a plurality of terminals, characterized in that it comprises a means of receiving propositions for transmitting at least one programme contained in the database, the said propositions coming from at least one terminal comprising at least one parameter such as a price or a deadline relating to the transmission of the programme from the server to the terminals, a means of analysing the propositions received, a means of determining a decision to transmit the programme taking account of the parameters transmitted; and a means of transmitting to the terminal a code for viewing at least one selected programme.
The present invention will now appear in greater detail in the context of the description that follows of exemplary embodiments given for illustrative purposes with reference to the appended figures amongst which:
We will first describe with the aid of
The remote control 8 has direction buttons ↑, ↓, → and ← and "OK", "Buy" and "Send" buttons the use of which will be revealed later in the description. The receiver also has a clock (not shown) to wake up the receiver when a programme to be recorded is on the point of being downloaded.
The receiver also comprises a circuit 11 for displaying data on the screen, often called an OSD circuit, "On Screen Display". The OSD circuit 11 is a text and graphics generator which is used to display on-screen menus, pictograms (for example a number corresponding to the channel displayed) or which is used to mix two audiovisual contents. The OSD circuit is controlled by the central processor unit 3 and a program called a "Loader" which is resident in the memory 12. The Loader typically consists of a program module written in read only memory and of parameters saved in work memory. The Loader may also be implemented in the form of a specific circuit of the ASIC type for example. This circuit may have security functions for making a payment following a user's decision to view a pay-per-view programme.
The receiver receives audiovisual programme identification data from the return channel 6 or the broadcast network. This data comprises viewable elements, the title for example or an image of the preview trailer. With the aid of an EPG and the buttons on his remote control, the user selects one or more programmes with a view to receiving them and recording them on the hard disk 9.
The server described in
After having described the different elements of the invention we will now explain how they cooperate.
The different communications between the user and the server are illustrated in
The catalogue is then displayed on the screen 2 so that the user can select at least one programme. Taking account of his availability and budget, the user determines parameters with the ultimate aim of viewing that programme on his receiver: a price and a latest date for making the programme available to him. Then, during a first communication (communication 3.1), the user sends the server the triplet formed of the following elements:
The server records all the propositions and, following an analysis step, determines the server parameters beyond which the broadcast becomes profitable for the server. These parameters are calculated according to the duration of broadcast of the programme, which, because of this, occupies the network for a determined time, and according to the time of broadcast. For example, transmission at night costs less than during the day. After the proposition analysis step for a given programme, the server compares the parameters of each proposition with those previously calculated. If the price proposed by the user is equal to or greater than that determined by the server AND if the latest date proposed by the user is equal to or later than that predicted by the server, THEN the server accepts the proposition from that user and notifies him of its agreement in a communication (communication 3.2). The server also sends the user a payment request (communication 3.3). It is important to note that the server does not transmit its parameters, so the users cannot know them and are obliged to propose a considerable sum to be sure that the server has an interest in instructing the broadcast of that programme so that the user can receive it.
The user receives the notification that his proposition has been accepted and that the server requires him to pay for the programme. He then makes the payment according to known techniques, using for example prepaid tokens or a bank type smart card inserted into his receiver. The payment parameters are sent to the server (communication 3.4). The server checks that the payment parameters are authentic and, if they are, sends a particular code to the receiver (communication 3.5) which will enable it to decrypt the programme when it is received. In a possible variant, the user does not make the payment directly but commits to pay for the received programme against an invoice which will be presented to him later. This invoice may include the user's different uses of the service during a given period, and even of other services, such as a subscription to a cable access supplier or to a satellite television operator.
The programme may be made available to the user in different ways. A first way consists in recording the programme in encrypted form in each receiver that has sent a proposition. Then, if the proposition is accepted and if the payment is made, a code used for decryption is transmitted to the receiver. In this way, payment can be made independent of reception. A variant consists in first transmitting to the receiver the acceptance of the proposition and, if the payment is made, the decryption code. Then, the programme is transmitted in encrypted form, decrypted on receipt and recorded in clear in the receiver's memory. This other method has the advantage of avoiding decryption every time the recorded programme is viewed.
The Loader displays menus by which the user can enter his parameters and start the communications between the server and the receiver. The first menu illustrated in FIG. 4.a is for presenting the catalogue of programmes proposed by the server. In the example, three programmes are available: "Life of Brian", "Super Bowl" and "Jaws". Icons marked "BUY" are placed beside the titles. The user selects the icon corresponding to the programme he wishes to receive. A variant consists in using a special "Buy" button on the remote control 8. The menu illustrated in FIG. 4.b appears. This menu lets the user enter the parameters of his proposition. In a window, the user enters the price he wants to pay on the buttons of the digital keypad of his remote control 8, in the example: 25F. In another window, the user enters the latest date and time for receiving that programme, "12h00", at the price he has set. Then, the user confirms his proposition by pressing the "Send" button. The proposition consisting of an identifier of the selected programme and the parameters the user has entered is then sent to the server.
The server receives the proposition over the network 6 and records it in its database 2.3 with the other propositions relating to the same programme. At the end of a certain time after the programme is placed in the catalogue (six hours for example), the server initiates the step of analysing the propositions received. It first determines the set of propositions that have not lapsed, that is which concern programmes that may still be transmitted within the deadline proposed by the users. The server then calculates the total price of the propositions of that set and the transmission deadlines imposed by the users. According to a strategy that is described later, the server decides whether or not to program the programme broadcast. If the server cancels the broadcast because it is not profitable, it notifies its refusal in a communication, indicating the programme's identifier. This notification can be made either over the broadcast network or over the return channel. If the notification is made over the broadcast network, each receiver verifies whether it has previously sent a proposition for that programme and, if it has, informs the user via a message on the screen 2 that he will not receive the programme corresponding to his proposition.
If the server programs the broadcast of the programme considering it to be profitable, it then repeats the communication with each user. For this, it sends a message to all the receivers that have sent a proposition, indicating agreement, the programme's identifier, the parameters proposed by each user, and the date of availability of that programme. The receiver then displays the menu illustrated in FIG. 4.c indicating the time of download of the programme. The server then requests payment. The user confirms by pressing the "OK" button which has the effect of initiating the transaction for the sum of 25F according to the previous example. The server receives the payment certificate and returns to the user the acknowledgement of receipt which is displayed in the form of the menu illustrated in FIG. 4.d. The sentence "The "Life of Brian" programme will be delivered" is displayed. Acceptance of the proposition sent to the user is transmitted no later than immediately before the download of the programme.
The step for analysing the propositions is initiated in a simple manner a determined time from the moment when the programme is proposed in the catalogue. A variant consists in counting the propositions for a given programme and in initiating the analysis step when a certain number of propositions have been received. If, after a maximum deadline set at the beginning by the server, the minimum number of propositions has not been reached, the server does not instruct its broadcast.
Naturally, if other propositions arrive after the analysis step and before the broadcast, and if they are compatible with the price and deadline parameters calculated by the server, they are accepted and the programme is downloaded to the users who have requested it.
An improvement of the invention consists in the server indicating at least one reason for refusal of the propositions. For example, a proposition for a programme of very long duration while requesting a short deadline cannot be accepted for material reasons of bandwidth occupancy of the broadcast network. Whatever price is proposed, the proposition cannot be satisfied. The server does not wait for the end of the proposition analysis step and responds immediately to the user in the negative indicating the reason for the refusal. This improvement enables the user to reformulate his proposition taking account of the reason for the refusal, in this case by indicating another deadline and sending it to the server. This new proposition has more chance of being accepted.
An improvement consists in the user not defining precisely the programme he wants to receive but one or more of the criteria transmitted in signalling tables (for example a table described in the DVB-SI standard). These tables contain attributes characteristic of audiovisual programmes. The criteria define subsets of programmes that have a criterion in common. For example, the user may define one or more topics and/or sub-topics of programmes, such as: Nature: film and topic: science fiction, or "documentary" and "wildlife". The user may also use the name of an actor or that of a producer. For example, he may ask the server for a "western" with "John Wayne". In return the server chooses a programme, which corresponds to the criteria or for which the analysis step has culminated in an acceptance of broadcast, and then it proposes it to the user.
We will now explain how the server determines which programmes to download and in what order.
Suppose that the server proposes m programmes Ei (i=1 to m) in its catalogue. We have previously said that the server records all the propositions from the users in its database 2.3. At a certain moment, it analyses all the propositions and calculates parameters beyond which the programme broadcast is profitable. For a given programme "Ei", the amount of money the propositions would generate for it if they were satisfied varies according to the deadline for transmitting that programme. This is for two reasons: on the one hand the longer the server waits, the fewer users it satisfies. On the other hand, the users who want to receive the programme quickly are likely to make a better offer, whereas those who are not in a hurry to receive it propose a lower price. The present invention enables the server to program the broadcast of the programme according to the price that that broadcast will generate for it.
The server constantly updates an array indicating, for each programme and for the subsequent eight time bands, the number of users and the amount of money that the users are proposing to receive the programme. When a programme is transmitted, it disappears from the array. But it may reappear if it is not removed from the catalogue because users may continue to request it. Certain programmes are very popular and may be transmitted a set number of times, so they must not be removed from the catalogue after the first broadcast. To simplify, the array below contains only four programmes.
58 min
131 min
28 min
90 min
(the figures are given as an example, the prices are the totals of the propositions).
A first strategy consists in the server taking account of the immediate propositions, that is within the hour. The proposition analysis step is in this case reduced to an hour. This strategy is justified because it makes it possible to satisfy all the users who have requested a programme irrespective of the proposed deadline. After a time band, the server erases from the array the data concerning the programmes transmitted (unless it has been agreed to transmit it several times), and analyses the next time band. The server then determines which programmes are to be downloaded during that time band. The array is continually updated in line with the propositions, if a proposition arrives but does not concern a programme listed in the catalogue, the server sends a refusal notification to the user. Indeed, as soon as a programme is in the catalogue, it is automatically listed in the array.
For each programme, the server adds together the amounts of money corresponding to each time band and chooses the programmes that generate the most. From the numerical values given in the above array, we can see that downloading the programmes would generate:
According to the first strategy, the server gives priority to transmitting the programmes which generate the most for it: first E2, then E1, then E9 and E5.
This first strategy is appropriate when the server receives few propositions and if the catalogue contains a restricted number of programmes. But, if many choices are offered to the users, the server will probably receive propositions for each programme. It must therefore make a selection. At the end of each time band, it determines the programmes which are the most profitable to download. To determine the profitability of downloading a programme, the server can take account of the duration of its broadcast. For that, it calculates for each broadcast the revenue per unit of time (a minute for example) of its transmission:
Suppose for example that the bandwidth of the broadcast network allows the downloading of only approximately three hours of audiovisual programmes per time band. It is therefore important to optimise this time band and to download the most profitable programmes first. In the present case, programmes E1 and E5 are the most profitable and will be run before programme E2. There then remain 180−(58+28)=94 minutes of transmission, which is insufficient to broadcast programme E2. Because of its duration, the broadcast of E2 will occur over two time bands. So the propositions to receive E2 within at least two hours will be satisfied, but not those to receive in the hour. The broadcast of E2 will therefore not satisfy all the propositions. The 131−94=37 remaining minutes to transmit E1 will be taken in the next time window. To the users for whom the proposed deadline is not satisfied, the server sends a message indicating the predicted time of downloading and a price lower than the one initially proposed. These users are then free to accept or reject the new offer made to them by the server.
Another strategy (which may also be used to choose between two equivalent options in terms of profitability) consists in choosing the programmes that satisfy the maximum of users. The server will then choose programme E9 which can be broadcasted within the remaining time span of 94 minutes, rather than programme E1. So the server can satisfy all the users that have requested E1, E5 and E9.
It should be noted that the user is not sure, when he makes a download proposition, of obtaining what he wants. After the analysis step, the server determines the groups of propositions that are the most valuable and chooses the most advantageous ones. Certain propositions will then be refused.
An improvement consists in that the downloads are carried out on several channels. Certain channels with higher bit rates will be used for short deadline downloads. Other channels are used for programmes with a low financial return. The means of communication may be different, the server may use microwave or satellite channels.
Another improvement consists in the server taking account of the evolution of the deadlines proposed by the users. When analysing the evolution of the propositions versus proposed deadline: 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, etc., we see that as a general rule the number of propositions increases and then decreases after a certain deadline known as the "extremum". If the server delays the transmission of a programme by one or more time bands, the number of unsatisfied propositions remains low compared with the total number of propositions. If the extremum is in the first time band, the transmission delay for that programme means that a large number of propositions are not satisfied. Determining the position of the extremum in the time bands is therefore an important factor in defining the next downloads.
For example, by analysing the numerical values in the above array, we see that the maxima of the propositions occur in the following time bands:
In the present case, if the server must make a selection while favouring this strategy, it will download as a priority E9 for which the extremum occurs during the first time band, then E2 (second time band), then E1 (third time band) and finally E5 (fourth time band). This strategy minimizes the loss of revenue due to unsatisfied propositions.
A improvement of the present invention consists in the user sending an incomplete proposition, in which a parameter is missing. For example he sends a price without any deadline or vice versa. The server receives his proposition and, because of the schedule of downloads, proposes in return a value of the missing parameter to satisfy the user. For example, the user sends a proposition indicating a programme and a price but without indicating the deadline. After the analysis step, the server replies, indicating the predicted deadline taking account of the parameters calculated at the end of the analysis step. If many propositions have been received and confirmed, the deadline will be short because the rapid download of such a programme is profitable. However, if few propositions have arrived, the deadline is long, or the server responds that it currently cannot program a download for that programme.
If several servers propose different catalogues, certain elements of the catalogues may be identical. Another improvement of the present invention consists in the loader launching the same proposition to several servers and after the various interchanges, transmits to the user the best offer, indicating which server could download the programme.

The 'baadshah of Bollywood' loves Punjabi food and hospitality so much that he always gains a little weight every time he visits the state, shared actor Shah Rukh Khan, in the city with co-star Deepika Padukone to promote Chennai Express.
Recalling how he put on a lot of weight in three days while shooting for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi with Anushka Sharma in Amritsar, King Khan said, "I always gain weight when I am shooting in Punjab, as the people here are foodies. Punjabi food is the best part of the state, and Punjabi hospitality is irresistible."
"Punjabis are loud and full of life, and have a rich culture, which is why every single Bollywood movie has a Punjabi touch. Even though Chennai Express is a South-based movie, we still have Honey Singh singing a tribute to South India's superstar Rajnikanth," he said while addressing students and staff at LPU.
He said director Rohit Shetty was supposed to direct the remake of the 1982 classic Angoor with him, but then decided to go for Chennai Express.
About her Tamil accent in the movie, Deepika Padukone said, being a South Indian, she knows the language, but had a hard time mixing it up with Hindi. "I have even compiled the 'bakwas dictionary' carrying all my Tamil dialogues from the movie," she joked.

Alverno College Names New Executive Director for the Research Center for Women and Girls
Rhonda Matthews Ware has been named Executive Director of the Alverno College Research Center for Women and Girls. In this role, she will spearhead research about women and girls by teaming with local and national agencies as well as Alverno College faculty.
"Rhonda has an extensive background advocating for community members and promoting positive social change," said Kathleen O'Brien, senior vice president for Academic Affairs at Alverno College. "Her wealth of experience and leadership will enhance the vision of Alverno's Research Center for Women and Girls."
Ware comes to Alverno from the law firm of Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek S.C., where she was an attorney on the litigation team. While there, she was involved in the firm's diversity and pro bono efforts including founding and coordinating their Domestic Abuse Injunction Advocacy Team, which received the 2009 Pro Bono Organization Award from the Wisconsin Bar Association.
Prior to that, she worked for the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office, the United States Attorney's Office and the Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance. In that role she helped victims of violent crimes and their families identify services to help them deal with legal, medical, financial and psychological needs. Ware is also a domestic violence prevention educator who has co-facilitated numerous trainings for the Mentors in Violence Program, a national
gender violence education program that equips young men and women from all socioeconomic, racial and ethnic backgrounds to identify, prevent and confront men's violence against women.
Ware earned her Bachelor's degree from DePaul University in Chicago, and her Doctor of Law degree from Suffolk University Law School in Boston. She currently serves on the DePaul University Liberal Arts and Science Advisory Board, and has also served on the Waukesha Women's Center Board of Directors and the Sojourner Truth House Board of Directors. She was recognized by the Business Journal as one of Milwaukee's Forty Under 40 in 2009, and was a DePaul University 14 Under 40 award recipient in 2010.
The Alverno College Research Center for Women and Girls is a center devoted to taking scholarly research out of the world of academia and into the real world where it can inspire, transform and support initiatives that improve the lives of women and girls in Wisconsin and beyond. The center is best known for its Status of Women and Girls in Wisconsin report, a review of the best available data on major issues affecting girls' lives including education, health and potentially risky behaviors. The center also partners with community agencies to evaluate programs, fosters discussion about important issues and identifies emerging research topics that can make a difference in women's lives.

Skip to comments.Blogger Vanderboegh reports 'game changer' DOJ whistleblowers have come forward
Posted on 06/13/2012 6:02:46 PM PDT by marktwain
Sources described as "previously highly credible" and "close to the Gunwalker investigation" are claiming "one and perhaps two sources within the Department of Justice headquarters...have approached the Issa Committee seeking whistleblower status," Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars blog is reporting this afternoon in an exclusive story.
"One source, who reported that there were at least two of Eric Holder's subordinates who 'came in from the cold,' characterized them as 'high-level" DOJ employees 'with knowledge of Eric Holder's actions before and after" the 4 February 2011 DOJ letter denying that the DOJ and its subordinate agencies knew about "gunwalking," Vanderboegh writes, noting one source said the whistleblowers bring with them "the keys to the kingdom."
Calling the development "surprising," Vanderboegh further notes it "has re-energized the investigation staff,which was widely rumored to be floundering after the reluctance, not to say opposition, of the GOP leadership became known some months ago."
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
Gunwalker / Murdergate ping.
If "this" doesn't come out before the contempt vote, those who vote against contempt when it does come out look like chumps and their opponents this Fall will have a club to beat them.
If "this"does come out before the contempt vote, those who vote against contempt will look like total idiots!
So, what game is being paid?
My money is on the new whistleblowers coming out AFTER the contempt vote if Issa has enough votes to get it anyway.
"We're still working on gun control, but under the radar."
~~Pres. Obama to Sarah Brady.
As Obama's chances of re-election diminish, increasing numbers of people will want to protect themselves. They don't want their names appearing on indictments when the new administration takes office.
I'll believe it when I see it.
The big question now is who throws who under the bus first? Does Holder toss Obama? or does he wait just a little too long and Obama tosses him?
Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars has done us proud ...again. Ping.
Time to bring it on home, wouldn't you say?
PING.......by all means!
And thanks a ton!
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I'm not familiar with him, or with the publication. Can you shed some light on their credibility? Thanks.
You can indict a ham sandwich....
I've heard this type of talk...for years. Rarely does someone go to jail. Rarely does someone get fined.
We the public are the rube's.......
gop leadership is doing what they do best... agreeing with and protecting their masters on the left.
It's beyond disgusting.
Codrea and Vanderboegh were the ones who gave Sharyl Attkisson the head's up and coined the name "Gunwalker" which was aka Fast and Furious.
More Wisconsin fallout? People are starting to think Obama's NOT going to be re-elected...
Either you're a whistle blower or you're going to be under investigation yourself... Now's the time to get on board the winning side.
It's beyond question that Issa is the source for this article. I only hope that it's not a play to suggest to Holder that he really should hand over the documents quickly so they don't have to vote to charge him with contempt.
I suspected then that they must have irrefutable evidence against this guy. They gave him plenty of rope.
Thank you so much for the info and links! Much appreciated.
Thanks for the information!
You are both very welcome.
Whoever else goes down with Holder, I hope it includes all the Republicans who voted to confirm him.
"gop leadership is doing what they do best... agreeing with and protecting their masters on the left."
So true, Boner is such a disgrace! Never trust a man who cries about the inconsequential. We must hold out hope that the new crop of TEA Party folks that were elected to the House in 2010 haven't been co-opted yet and will vote to elect a real set of leaders in the next Congress. It's bad enough we have Marxist RATs, but to have RINOs who are their enablers is criminal! As others have postulated, the Wisconsin vote coupled with the anti-PE votes in San Diego and San Jose, have really started the Obama ball downhill and it's speed is increasing with each passing day. More and more candy assed politicians are going to be jumping ship and it's going to be fun to watch!

For many politicians, the purpose of getting to DC is to get plugged into the network of insiders, and get the perks and fringe benefits of being a congress-critter: the inside info on how the economy will go, so your investments do well; the wining and dining by lobbyists; the cute young interns and lobbyist assistants, who are so eager the please; etc.
The problem is, you only get the perks as long as you play along. You can be as much of a lecher and as corrupt as you want -- as long as you please the real powers in DC the press will take no notice. The minute that you displease them by trying to oppose their agendas, however, all your past conduct goes under a microscope, and the accumulated files come out. This is why the longer politicians stay in DC, the more compromised they are.
WTH! Only 31 posts? Are people not buying the source? Not paying attention? Don't care?
This thread could use more attention!
I agree 100%.
As always, the question about why the left does what it does comes down to "evil or stupid?"
In this case, if the WB's come out after, those voting in favor of Holder look stupid,
if before, they look evil.
Many here just don't understand what the real battle is.
As will I. I will say, though, that if Issa ALREADY has rock-solid evidence in hand, Congress may pretend that they have a pair, knowing they have a winning hand, and do something. If not, I, like you, expect nothing to happen.
That is a fantastic description if how our government institutions operate, if the press can't dig up enough dirt they will manufacture it. Anyone opposing the DC machine get's immediately Clintonized.
"He said, I have to get positions on Committees so that I can bring home the bacon"
This is, at the core, what's wrong with our government. Lets' not close unneeded military facilities or terminate programs that are ineffective or not needed because a constituent might loose his or her job. So businesses that feed off the government are in reality more of those "government employees" FUBO talks about needing more of.
Was it "unexpected?"
Look at what happened to Palin, Herman Cain, and a host of others. If you are not part of the machine, then your past goes under a microscope until you either leave or are destroyed.
Number of replies is not a reliable measure of how seriously a thread or an issue is taken by the FR population. Consider that the cheeseburger prostitute thread now has more than 2,000 replies.
Sho'nuff, and as long as we have a polity full of the stupid they continue to get away with it every time.
Thanks, hm..this may be the beginning of the end. I didn't have a chance to watch Holder in front of Congress - but he may not be sleeping too well right now.
Between this and the classified leaks coming from NSA it's hard to tell what will bring down this administration to a level where the fools who voted it into office will grasp enough to vote it out.
Seconded. The gop leadership is inept.

Snap is the latest project of Andover, MA-based husband and wife team Eric and Andrea Stoll, well-known personalities in the athletic industry. Eric previously worked as the Marketing Director of Finnish running brand Karhu, while Andrea had senior roles at both Converse Sport and Vans. This experience helped them form the concept, marketing strategy, design and packaging for the product.

Piran - Slovenian Istria
Slovenia has only 16 miles of coastline, not much compared to Croatia's thousands of miles of coast when you include all of its islands and peninsulas. The short stretch is quite developed with an industrial port city (Koper), a swank resort (Portoroz), and a few other old towns. The one real attraction, though, is Piran, a beautiful old town on a peninsula similar to Porec and Rovinj in Croatian Istria but ...

My final recipe for this week is a dip which we can serve any starter. I used green chillis in this dip if you don't like it too spicy you can add pepper powder in the place of green chillis. Use hung curd for this dip hung curd will give a thick and nice texture to the dip. Serve this dip with paneer tikka or any other starter or even with vegetable slices like cucumber, carrot and beetroot. This will be a perfect choice for salad dressing also.
Let's check the recipe...
Yogurt ---- 1 cup
Green chillies --- 3
Mint leaves --- 1/2 cup
Garlic --- 4 cloves
Salt to taste
1. Take mint leaves, green chillies, garlic cloves add two tab sp. of yogurt and grind in to a fine paste.
2. Take out this mint paste in to a bowl add remaining yogurt and salt to taste mix well.
Leave this dip in the fridge at least for one hour to blend the flavors.
Serve with paneer tikka, alu rolls, cutlets, or simply with masala pappad,,,
