Mobilizing Beyond the Cookie: Mobile Platforms Lurch Toward RTB Efficiencies
by Steve Smith on May 18, 12:58 PM
Mobile is far behind online technologies when it comes to tracking and providing the data sets necessary for an equivalent RTB economy. But mobile also changes some of the terms of ad targeting, promising a rich layer of location data and perhaps different ideas of what constitutes "premium" inventory.

How to Get a Job in the Not-for-Profit Sector
Many not-for-profits have a similar if not the same hiring procedures as many for-profit companies. It begins with a job being posted or advertised, the not-for-profit accepting resumes and cover letters, interviewing candidates, and then extending job offers.
However, many people who work for not-for-profits did not find their positions through this process. Below is a guide to networking and finding a job in the not-for-profit sector.
Find a Not-for-profit/Cause You are Passionate About
If you want to work for a not-for-profit, chances are there is a certain cause you feel dedicated to advancing. Whatever that issue or cause may be, find not-for-profits that match your passions. With this learn more about organizations from their website, annual reports, and other resources. If there are organizations that particularly compel you, reach out to them and see if you can learn more about the organization, schedule an informational interview, volunteer, or perhaps even intern.
Many not-for-profits welcome and utilize volunteers and interns. Many times volunteers or interns for organizations will be given professional level projects to work on or potentially even manage. This process allows you to network with potential employers and other professionals in the not-for-profit field. Furthermore you can gain hands on experience while learning more about the organization you work for. When you are volunteering or interning, make sure you are enthusiastic, doing more than is asked of you, and make a good impression on those at the organization. By doing so you, can get on the inside track to finding jobs. Some not-for-profits will offer positions to volunteers or interns even before they post the openings publicly. At minimum, it will give you exposure and understanding of how not-for-profits work while giving you relevant experience to put on your resume.
Once you build personal connections at non-for-profits you are potentially interested in working for, stay in touch with former colleagues, supervisors, and anyone else you can. Networking at a not-for-profit is often based on personal relationships and having a shared connection to the organization's mission.
Craft Your Resume:
Looking for work in the not-for-profit sector, you will have to tailor your resume to highlight not only your professional skills and accomplishments, but be able to show your passion for the not-for-profit's mission. Furthermore, select accomplishments and professional skills that show you can work with a diverse group of people as many not-for-profit jobs will require you to work with a wide variety of different people and stakeholders. Finally, as you should do with any resume, look up the company's mission and who they serve. Be able to pull professional experiences that are relevant for not only the position, but align with the organization as a whole. Also, highlight your own volunteer and/or service experiences.
How to get a Not-for-profit Internship
CCE offers many programs for students interested in getting an internship at a not-for-profit. Check out these resources.
CCIA - The Columbia Communities in Action (CCIA) program provides students with a New York-based internship in the field of civic engagement and not-for-profit.
Kenneth Cole Community Fellows - An innovative program where undergraduate students have the opportunity to gain academic as well as practical experience and insight in becoming community leaders and effective agents of change with academic seminars and also summer internships.
CAE - CAE provides selected students with a New York-based internship in the arts.
How to Pay for an Unpaid Internship - List of resources on how to fund your unpaid internship.
One of the benefits of interning for not-for-profits is the flexibility. While some not-for-profit internships may have a formal process with an application, others will have unlisted internships. Others yet will accept potential interns who first reach out to the organization. First check out if the organization has a formalized process for accepting applications on their webpage. If not, reach out to the organization by sending an email. From there you can express your interest in the organization and its mission. For some smaller not-for-profits, you may be able to propose various projects you would like to take on for the not-for-profit during your internship. Many not-for-profits will help interns execute and implement projects throughout the course of their internships and allow their interns a considerable level of autonomy during their internship.

To the editor:
I support and commend all of the risk-taking firefighters on the fire line in Kyle Canyon. But there is no way I can cheer, "Job well done," because it's a job that never should've happened. It was the result of a negligent, terrible decision on July 1, by whomever the officials in charge were, to let the lightning-strike fire in Trout Canyon continue to burn.
I live in Pahrump, and on July 2 at about 1 p.m., from my yard, I saw a small column of smoke rise over Trout Canyon. Reports now say that this had been burning since the previous day. By 6 p.m. on July 2, that small column of smoke had turned into a raging inferno with a huge mushroom cloud in the sky. Totally out of control.
I criticize the officials who decided that a burning lightning-strike fire on a west-rising slope during some of the driest, extreme fire conditions in years should be allowed to burn itself out. Additional idiot points are given for the fact that the general prevailing winds, predicted to increase during the week, probably would push any fire toward the Kyle Canyon jewel of the Spring Mountains National Recreational Area, where thousands of Las Vegans go to hike and camp, and many people have homes.
Yes, I support the people on the ground fighting this did-not-need-to-happen, now-Level One-fire incident. However, the right decision is to summarily fire those who made the July 1 decision, for gross negligence in the execution of their supposed professional field of competence. Let it burn? Not when hundreds of homes and a pristine recreation area are immediately downwind. Will any of these morons be fired? Of course not. Government employees never get fired.

Players can choose from a variety of vehicles, including a Fjord, Muzda, or Minimal minivan, all equipped with a selection of Marhal Tyres; the sound effects are just the thing to liven up a dull Monday workplace.

If, in the cold Detroit winter of 2008, the Fisker Karma concept car had been shown by an established automaker, it would have been hailed as the second coming of luxury sedans. Its proportions alone gave other auto executives and engineers varicose veins — but at the car's estimated $80,000 base price, it would have been the Karma's salespeople who would have been truly overwhelmed. In terms of visual bang for the buck, the Karma would have had no competition on Planet Earth.
But the Karma was not supposed to be just a beautiful luxury sedan. Included in that competitive price, and hidden under the four-seater's skin, was something straight out of Science Fiction: an electric powertrain with a range-extending internal combustion engine. That car, with that powertrain, at that price? The Karma's good looks might have wooed them speechless, but both seasoned journalists and inexperienced bloggers still managed to scratch out on their notepads: "It'll never happen."
Three years later, it's about to.
The base price has risen slightly (to $96,850, including destination), and if you parked the production-spec 2012 Karma next to the show car, you might notice a couple of subtle differences. But in the Karma's journey from Sci-Fi concept to On-A-Lot-Near-You production car, nothing of substance has changed. At the end of April, the first Karmas will be delivered to paying customers, and the luxury car market will have been changed forever.
Are we perhaps overstating the significance of the Karma? Possibly — but that risk won't stop us from calling this Fisker the most important car of the year. And for multiple reasons.
REASON ONE: THE TUCKER FACTOR and THE ONLY THREE
For the entire existence of Automobile Magazine, there have been three American car companies. Call them the Big Three or the Detroit Three, but a more accurate name is the Only Three. A little Silicon Valley company called Tesla popped up a few years ago and, for the first time, showed the Only Three that they were no longer the Standard of the World. The world had moved on, and while the Only Three fought against fuel economy standards and struggled to make their first attempts at fuel-saving technologies (remember the Saturn VUE hybrid, which got an oversize alternator and a hybrid badge?) Tesla started selling an all-electric sports car.
A few years later, there's Fisker. Henrik Fisker might not have an American passport, but Fisker Automotive is an American company, with its home in Southern California. And it, like Tesla, is making waves big enough to grab the attention of the world. Tesla and Fisker are doing something that the Only Three haven't done for years — innovate from the ground up. The spirit of true innovation is what made the world pay attention to the American car companies in the first place.
Over the past several decades, and especially until recently, the Only Three have struggled to make real innovations — they've barely been able to product world-class cars, not to mention a profit. But while they sit around and wonder why young people aren't excited about cars, they're showing a complete lack of understanding of youth. What excites young people is magic. Magic — as defined by science fiction becoming reality. The truth is that young people are very much excited by cars, just not the same old cars that the Only Three have been putting out.
Put a Tesla Roadster or a Fisker Karma in front of a sixteen-year-old and you'll see excitement you could measure on a multimeter. Why? These cars are rolling science fiction, in the same way that fin-tailed Cadillacs were rolling Sci-Fi to their parents and grandparents.
REASON TWO: THE PRICE and PACKAGE
We bestowed our highest honor, Automobile of the Year, upon the Chevrolet Volt, the world's first real production range-extended electric vehicle. We did so not because of the car itself, but because of the technology it contains. The Volt isn't perfect, nor have we ever said it was. It marks a landmark shift in the automotive world, and it's a clear sign that someone is home, with the lights on, doing their homework at General Motors. Bravo.
On the other hand, the Volt is saddled with two big problems. First, GM developed a brilliant powertrain and wrapped it in a completely undesirable package. The Volt was supposed to pretty, like the original concept. The production Volt is anything but.
Its second problem is one that it shares with every other electric vehicle on the market (that includes pure EVs and range-extended EVs.) That problem: the sticker and the car don't match. The Chevy Volt is an $18,000 hatchback with a $41,000 sticker. The Nissan Leaf is a $15,000 econo-hatchback with a $33,000 MSRP. Even the lovable Tesla Roadster is, essentially, a $110,000 sports car based on a $45,000 Lotus.
The Fisker Karma is saddled with none of these problems. It's a $97,000 car with a $97,000 window sticker. The technology is merely a bonus — the Karma would be desirable if it had a conventional V-8 under the hood. In terms of style and elegance, it's easily the equal of the new Jaguar XJ — another of the Automobile of the Year finalists. Combining the best — and seemingly contradictory — attributes of two AOY finalists is a clear recipe for automotive greatness. Now let's examine the ingredients in detail.
The Karma is constructed using an extruded aluminum space frame with mostly — the trunklid is composite — aluminum body panels, aluminum control arms and subframes. Its 124.4-inch wheelbase is within a quarter inch of the long-wheelbase Mercedes S-Class, but the Karma is almost ten inches shorter. More importantly, it's 4.4 inches wider and 5.6 inches shorter, giving a low, wide stance that trounces even the Maserati Quattroporte's.
Filling the enormous wheel wells are standard twenty-two inch wheels — an industry first. 235/25-WR22 front and 285/35-WR22 Goodyear Eagle F1 tires are wrapped around the cast aluminum wheels (which are 8.5 inches wide in front, 9.5 in rear). Despite the small tire-to-fender gap, Fisker promises that the suspension has 3.1 inches of usable jounce travel in front, 3.5 inches in the rear. Sachs Nivomat self-leveling rear shocks keep that travel available, and also eliminate the need for level compensation on the bixenon headlights. (All other exterior lighting is provided by LED.)
Filling the enormous wheels are, of course, enormous brakes. Up front, 14.6-inch floating rotors are straddled by six-piston Brembo monoblock calipers. Peering out from the two-tone spokes of the rear wheels are 14.4" rotors and four-piston Brembo calipers. (The smallest wheel that will fit on the Karma is a 21-incher.)
Speed-sensitive steering assistance is provided by an electrohydraulic system that runs on the car's 12-volt system. This low-voltage system powers the on-board accessories, lighting, and infotainment system, and stores power in a conventional lead-acid battery. The roof of the Karma has solar panels that feed the system with up to 120 watts of power on sunny days. While this electricity never powers the wheels directly, it can reduce the amount of low-voltage power pulled from the high-voltage system, and could, in theory, add up to 200 miles of additional range per year. Cool, yes, but it's mostly there to make a statement, we suspect.
The Karma's primary power source, as an electric vehicle, is a 360-volt, 20-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that runs down the center of the car. The pack itself weighs 600 lb, and is kept cool by the air conditioning system (one-fifth of the system's 10-kW capacity is dedicated to battery cooling). An on-board 3.3-kW charger can charge the pack in approximately six hours using household 220V, 15-amp service. The battery's maximum output is 160 kW.
Powering the rear wheels are twin 150-kW electric motors, which are double-isolated from the chassis. The motors are positioned to the front and rear of a clutch-type limited-slip differential at a fixed 4.10:1 ratio, and together produce peak torque of 981 lb-ft. Because of the fixed gear ratio, that's not directly comparable to a gasoline engine's rating: at full throttle, the peak torque available at the rear wheels of a V-8 Porsche Panamera S is 7780 lb-ft in first gear; the Karma's peak is about half that, or 4022 lb-ft.
In all-electric mode, the battery's 160 kW is enough to propel the Karma to 60 mph in 7.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 95 mph, according to Fisker. And provided you're not trying repeated hole-shots, the 20-kWh battery is good for about 50 miles of driving.
Astute readers and tech geeks will notice that the electric motors' capability is far higher than the power the battery pack can provide. That's where the gas engine comes in.
Mounted longitudinally under the hood, behind the front axle line, is a turbocharged, direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder — the same General Motors EcoTEC engine that vibrated our teeth out in the now-gone Pontiac Solstice GXP and Saturn Sky Red Line. The engine exhales through ports at the base of the front fenders, and is rated at 260 hp (194 kW), just as it was in the GM sports cars. There is no transmission attached to the four-banger; it used only to turn a 170-kW generator.
When Sport Mode is engaged (by pulling a paddle behind the 9-o'clock position on the steering wheel), the Karma's powertrain control unit runs the gas engine to generate electricity for the motors. Additionally (and this is a functional difference compared to the Chevolet Volt), the engine is also run to charge the lithium-ion battery to a minimum of 50 percent state-of-charge (SOC.) If the battery's SOC is over approximately 80 percent, as it was when we drove the Karma, the engine will switch off when the Karma comes to a stop.
At full throttle in sport mode, the combined power output of the gas engine/generator and the battery are enough to fully power the two electric motors. That's a total of 300kW (or 403 hp) of motive force — enough, says Fisker, to sling the Karma to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 125 mph.
Once the battery's estimated 50-mile range is exhausted, the Karma switches over to gas power. Fisker says the Karma's 9.5-gallon fuel tank is good for another 250 miles of cruising. That estimate calculates to about 26 mpg — reasonable considering the inefficiencies in using gasoline to produce electricity rather than power the rear wheels directly. Obviously, that range will decrease dramatically if Sport Mode is engaged and the engine is used to charge the battery as well as propel the Karma.
With all that tech talk, it's easy to forget that Fisker is run by a designer. (CEO Henrik Fisker made his name by designing knock-out cars like the BMW Z8 and Aston Martin V8 Vantage.) A quick look-see around the interior, however, confirms who's in charge. The Karma's cabin looks like a concept car's — except that, in this case, the production car's interior is even more futuristic and more beautiful than the concept's.
There are no physical gauges and practically no buttons. On the center console, there are P/R/N/D selector buttons and window switches. On the dash, there's a big starter button, and three buttons nestled in a small piece of wood trim — one to lock the doors, one to open the glovebox, and one to engage the hazard lights. That's it. The virtual instrument panel consists only of three LCD panels, staggered at different depths. The center stack contains a large, 10.2-inch touchscreen interface with haptic feedback — another industry first. There are a few GM-sourced controls (the turn signals, power mirror controls, and steering-wheel buttons are the most obvious), but they'll sneak in below the radar for most customers, as they're beautifully integrated into the whole design.
The touch screen controls most secondary and tertiary functions like navigation, climate control, and entertainment. The software is exclusive to Fisker, and contains (as you'd expect) gorgeous renderings of the car where necessary. At 720×480, the screen's resolution won't impress anyone with an iPad — or even a 7-series BMW (its similarly sized screen is 1280×480). And despite the usability drawbacks inherent to touchscreen devices, consistency in button location was clearly a goal. Commonly used buttons and displays (like radio volume and time) are placed in a frame on the top, left side, and bottom of the screen that remains static no matter what mode the system is in. Smart.
Two drawbacks we found in our very limited time with the system: like many systems, the Karma's iPod/USB integration doesn't feature the album/artist/song hierarchy that Apple brilliantly engineered. Secondly, the navigation map appears in a stylized box on-screen and cannot be expanded to the full size of the screen — or even close, for that matter.
Software can always be updated, however — the hard points of the Karma leave nothing to desire. Every material, including and especially the understated diamond-stitched Ultrasuede trim, would be at home in a Bentley or Rolls-Royce. Jewelry is limited to a small piece of wood trim atop the center console. You don't need jewelry when everything else is so beautiful.
The seats — four buckets — are supremely comfortable and supportive. You sit low in the Karma — or at least it feels that way, since the tall center console divides each seat into its own cocoon. In the rear, headroom is a bit right and the big rear haunches mean that shoulder room is less than you'd expect in a car this size. Legroom is more than adequate for a six-footer, though a short and significantly angled lower seat cushion might become bothersome on a long trip. The rear door openings are narrow, necessitating a bit of gymnastics to get in and out, but all of these are small sacrifices to styling on a car that will likely only occasionally carry four passengers. And hey, the back seat is far more habitable than the equally gorgeous but far more expensive Aston Martin Rapide.
Up front, there are no sacrifices to room. The view out front and to the side is great — with a commanding view of the highly sculpted, low hood. A rear view camera comes with the navigation system on all but the entry trim level, and given the size and shape of the rear window, it's a worthwhile investment. In traffic, very large side mirrors, however, make the best of the view behind.
Unfortunately, our brief drive in the Karma was limited to the race track. This was unfortunate only because we wanted to see how the sedan coped with bumps, other cars, and heavy traffic situations. As it turns out, the Karma is quite a monster on track.
The pre-production car we drove didn't have functioning stability control, so there were no nannies to intervene when we pushed this EV to the limit. The Karma's wide, low stance is a perfect recipe for flat handling, and it delivered that in spades. When we got back from the track, we noticed that the Fisker had occasionally picked up an inside rear wheel during cornering shots — shots that looked otherwise completely anti-climactic due to the absence of body roll. Brake dive, too, is notably absent — thank the Karma's low center of gravity (at 18.9 inches high, according to Fisker, it's about the same as a Ford GT) and the weight distribution which, at 53% front, 47% rear, is what Ferrari considers ideal.
Though Fisker is still working on the final calibration of the electrohydraulic steering, at-the-limit steering feel is limited to a bit of kickback. Still, the rack is suitably quick — and incidentally, the Karma has an impressively tight turning radius. Cornering grip is, for lack of another word, tremendous. The Karma settles into mild understeer at the limit, as you'd expect, but responds to tail-out tricks like power oversteer, mid-corner lifts, and brutal turn-in. Despite the enormous wheels (and 35-series tires), midcorner bumps are soaked up without drama.
The Brembo brakes have tremendous initial bite, and didn't show the faintest signs of stress after a few hard laps. Of course, like all electric vehicles that blend regenerative braking into the pedal, there's a loss of linearity and brake feel. The Karma is no exception, and our limited time with the car revealed the need for some additional fine tuning — which, we're assured, will be completed before customer deliveries begin.
Like all electric vehicles, the Karma is quickest at low speeds. Even in pure EV mode (which, if you'll remember, can only supply only just over half of the motor's capacity), the Karma squirts off the line with authority. The difference between Stealth (EV) and Sport (Hybrid) mode isn't as pronounced as you'd think, especially as there's a lag between sudden accelerator application and the gas engine reaching its full power output.
At full tilt in Sport mode, there's a spaceship-like scream coming from both powertrains. The dominant sound is the turbo whistle, which builds to a crescendo as the four-cylinder reaches its maximum speed. It's an otherworldly sound when mated to the whine of the electric motors in back and the angry growl of a four-cylinder at full-tilt — and if you let off the accelerator quickly, you're treated to the intoxicating sound of the blow-off valve as the turbo's frenetic scream retreats into the background.
If the Karma is notably Jaguar XJ-esque in its shocking on-track prowess, there's one big difference between it and the V-8-powered sedan: powertrain refinement. The GM-sourced four-cylinder was rude, crude, rough and loud even in the sporty Solstice/Sky twins, and sadly, its soundtrack is especially out of place in a luxury car.
Fisker's requirements for an internal combustion engine (260 horsepower from 2.0 liters of displacement or less) were met by very few engines in the world. Unquestionably, the best of them is Volkswagen's 2.0T. Unfortunately, it seems Volkswagen wasn't willing to sell Fisker its smooth, refined direct-injection mill. That's a shame.
The prototype that we drove hadn't yet received the latest updates to control the NVH, so we're hoping the production cars are somewhat quieter and more refined. Then again, when running in pure EV mode, the Karma is near-silent. Near silent for the first 50 miles a day (as long as you're not looking for the full 403 hp) goes a long way towards making up for a gritty soundtrack thereafter.
In fact, the story alone of how this small company beat the odds — and the Big, err… Only Three — in bringing this Sci-Fi-powered concept car to market makes up for a multitude of sins. That the Karma commits so few of them in the first place — and especially because it avoids the typical sin of EV pricing — is just a bonus. If left with a $100,000 budget and the choice to buy a four-seat luxury car, the Karma is your chance at buying the future instead of living in the past. And that's a really significant story indeed.

Former child star Melissa Gilbert's first hurdle in taking on "Dancing with the Stars" wasn't mastering dance moves or fear of spray tan, it was explaining why she is famous to her partner.
Now, for some former "DWTS" contestants that is a legitimate issue (hello, Bristol Palin) but we thought everyone in America with a TV set and a sense of nostalgia knows who Half-Pint is.
Gilbert's paired with Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who's Ukrainian and 16 years younger than the actress who played Laura Ingalls on the classic series "Little House on the Prairie" for a decade.
But Maks confesses he didn't know who Gilbert, now 48, was when they were paired together for Season 14 of "DWTS."
"She walks in, and my first assessment was: She's in great shape, we're gonna be good. And the second thing I thought was I had no clue who she is," Maks admitted Monday on "Access Hollywood Live."
"I mean, it ended when I was 3," he added.
But Melissa found the humor in the situation. She tweeted a photo of herself as she presented Maks with a DVD set of her classic TV series "Little House on the Prairie."
"In case y'all were wondering. This happened because @MaksimC had no idea who I am," Gilbert wrote.
So far, Gilbert seems thrilled to be paired with Maks aka "the bad boy of the ballroom" but let's she how she feels in a few weeks about working with the male pro who's made every partner he's ever had cry (and faced serious backlash last season for shoving partner Hope Solo during rehearsal).
"@MaksimC thanks for an amazing first week. I have the best teacher/partner ever! I am so happy and so blessed," Gilbert tweeted after the pair's first week of rehearsals. She also seems to think they have a good shot at going far. "Be Healthy so that I can help @MaksimC get his mirror ball trophy. It's your year baby!!" she also wrote.
Coincidentally, it was Maks' former partner Kirstie Alley who talked Melissa into doing the show. "@kirstiealley wow! Just wow! I'm having such fun! Thanks for talking me into this! Kisses!!!" Melissa wrote to Alley.
But if Maks gets out of line as he is known to do, Melissa plans to use those "Little House" DVDs as a threat. Not to throw at his head if he acts up, but as punishment.
"She said every time, if I do something — as a punishment — I have to watch an episode," Maks joked.
Just how will the chemistry be between TV's good girl and "Dancing's" bad boy? Should make for an excellent storyline this season on the show.
"DWTS" Season 14 premieres Monday, March 19 on ABC.

Hatebreed is my ultimate inspiration. The fuel my psyche needs to get up and push forward every day even though my life sucks ass. I'm a 33 year old guy with epilepsy, that has recently had two brain surgeries, one 4 years ago, one 8 months ago, to try and fix my machine gun seizure problem.
As a result of the first surgery, I developed Impulse Control Disorder. The second surgery helped that, but it took time for it to die down. I would do things like grab onto moving cars passing me by and knock out the driver if he pissed me off...and when I'd get pissed off at my roomy I'd go kick someone's ass in the park near my home...SEVERELY.
In the meanwhile I also lost my son to his mom, thankfully not the State, due to a apanking I gave him that went over the line. My only son, my meaning in life, my little boy whom I love more than ANYTHING.
Without Hatebreed I would have an ear to ear grin put in by a straight razor.
Hatebreed - Saviors of the Discarded, Abandoned and Abused |
Hatebreed is truly the most inspirational Metal/Hardcore punk band that exists today, and probably the most inspirational Metal/Hardcore Punk band to Ever exist. If it was not for Hatebreed, I would have blown off my skull with my friends shotgun. With their uplifting message and bone crunching guitar riffs, Hatebreed have earned their title as the Saviors of the Discarded, Scared, and Abused
Hi there music lovers!
You will want to buy their new cd called "Supremacy" as i go along. I have never heard any steel crushing band as Hatebreed. They are awesome. You must listen to belive. They are the new Gods of Heavy Metal. Enjoy!

Wayne Rooney has become the first player in Barclays Premier League history to score nine goals in the opening five games of a domestic season, and sits proudly at the top of the goalscoring charts.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Manchester, Sergio Aguero has made a seamless transition to English football, following his record-breaking £38million move to the Etihad Stadium - becoming the first foreign import to score eight goals in his first five ever Premier League appearances.
The Argentine forward's impressive start to the 2011-12 campaign sees him surpass the likes of Jurgen Klinsmann [7], and Fabrizio Ravanelli [6] before him, and keeps the pressure on the in-form England international striker in the race for the Golden Boot.
In a poll conducted by GMF, we asked online football fans who they think will finish the season as Barclays Premier League top scorer.
Over half of the 2,500 fans polled believe the chase for the Golden Boot is a two-horse race between the early season front-runners, with Aguero [29%] slightly edging ahead of Rooney [28%], while there is some backing for Luis Suarez [17%] to click into goalscoring form.
Fernando Torres is a surprising 4th favourite with 13% of voters believing the £50million man will turn his Blues career around and start finding the net at Stamford Bridge, despite yesterday's glaring open-goal gaffe at Old Trafford.
Robin Van Persie - an early season favourite with the bookies after his impressive return in the second half of last season, ranked 5th after receiving only 9% of the vote, having found the net on just a solitary occasion so far this term.
And despite Emmanuel Adebayor's three goals in two appearances for new club Tottenham Hotspur, the Togolese striker isn't fancied to be in with a shout come the end of the season, receiving a minority 1% of backing from the fans.
Player: | Team: | Goals: |
WayneRooney | ManUnited | 9 |
Sergio Aguero | Man City | 8 |
Edin Dzeko | Man City | 6 |
E. Adebayor | Tottenham | 3 |

Zooming in on a number line.MOV - Section 4: Zooming In On a Number Line
Review 2: Zooming In on a Number Line - Working with Rational Numbers
Lesson 2 of 7
Objective: Students will be able to find and position integers and rational numbers on a number line, find numbers that come between two other numbers.
Big Idea: Students "zoom in" on sections of the number line and continue to generate fractions and decimals that would fall between those two numbers. Students generate patterns and rules regarding how to do this.
Do Now
See the Do Now video in my Strategy Folder for more details about how I begin class. Often, I create do nows that have problems that connect to the task that students will be working on that day. For this do now, I picked to multiple choice problems from my released state test that are important: using rates and graphs to answer a question and simplifying numerical expressions that include exponents.
For #1 I ask students to share out how they found the weight of 100 bags. Some students found the weight of one bag and then multiplied by 100. Other students picked one coordinate and used it strategically to find the weight of 100 bags. For example, a student saw that 10 bags weighed 600 pounds, so he created equivalent rates and multiplied 600 pounds by 10. I had one student saw that 30 bags would weigh 1,800 pounds. He multiplied 1,800 pounds by 3 to find the weight of 90 bags. He then looked at the graph and saw the weight of 10 pounds was 600 pounds. So he added 600 + 5,400. I think it is important to take some time to have students share their different strategies – it not only helps students to see other approaches but it helps me to see how my students think about and attack a problem.
For #2, I tell students that I think A is the correct answer. This exponent mistake is the one I see most often with my students. I have students share their thinking and help to identify the correct answer.
Resources (2)
After the Do Now, I have a student read the objectives for the day. I ask a student what it means to "zoom in" on something. I share with students that we will practice zooming in on a number line and brainstorming numbers that will fall between two other numbers.
On page 2 I have students work independently for 3 minutes. I ask students to make sure their fractions are in simplest form. We go through the answers and review the procedure of changing one version of a number into another. We then take questions and share answers. Students will most likely struggle with the fractions that turn into repeating decimals (5/6, 2/3). I am looking for students to recognize a pattern and that after seeing a digit is repeating in the quotient 3-4 times that it is a repeating decimal. Here students are engaging with MP8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. I ask students:
- What does it mean to have a repeating decimal?
- How can you be sure that the same digit will keep repeating?

Number Line Review
For the number line review, I emphasize that on a horizontal number line the numbers get larger as you move from left to right. The numbers get smaller as you move right to left. I have students label the first two examples with a fraction and a decimal. For the number line at the bottom of the page I will place dots on the number line and ask students to label them. For example, I may place dots at 1 ½ , ½ , - ½, - 1 ½, -4 ½ and ask students to label them. A common mistake is for students to get confused when labeling a negative fraction like -1 ½ . A student may say that the dot is on -2 ½. I start with having the student identify the two integers on either side of the dot. Then I have the student use the two integers on either side to make a comparison the fraction is ____________(less than) -1 because it is to the left of -1. The fraction is ___________ (greater than) -2 because it is to the right of -2. So it must be -1 ½ .

Independent Practice
After completing page 4 together, students complete the problems on page 4 independently or with a partner. Based on your students needs and levels create a list of number pairs that students can choose from to "zoom in". Simple pairs would include whole numbers, while challenging pairs would include one decimal and one fraction. I stress to students that it is important that they are precise with their answers and are able to explain their thinking (MP6: Attend to precision).
During this time I circulate and check students work and look at the strategies they are using. I look for students who are splitting the number line in ½ and then in ½ again to find numbers; students who are extending out one decimal place, then using consecutive values; and using a larger denominator, then using consecutive numerators. I also look to see if students are more comfortable generating fractions or decimals, or if they are comfortable generating both. This will help me decide which examples to go over in the closure section of the lesson.
Once students complete their work on the zooming in they work independently on the multiple choice problems.
Resources (2)
Closure and Ticket to Go
I ask students to stop their work and return to their zooming in work on page 5. I ask a student(s) who I saw using one of these strategies (splitting the number line in ½ and then in ½ again to find numbers; students who are extending out one decimal place, then using consecutive values; using a larger denominator, then using consecutive numerators) to show their work with the document camera and explain their mathematical thinking. If one of these strategies did not show up with my students it I will model it.
I pick one example and I ask students, "Do you think you could find five more fractions between these numbers? How about 5 more decimals?" I have students brainstorm in partners and then share out to the entire class. I want students to recognize that there is an infinite amount of numbers between the two given numbers. We could always create a larger common denominator or extend out one more decimal place. See the Closure video in my Strategy Folder for more details about how I end class.
With the last few minutes, I have students complete the Ticket to Go independently. Based on how my students have done with the practice, I select values for the boxes in the example. See the Ticket to Go video in my Strategy Folder for more details.
