first_img View Comments Star Files Here’s a quick roundup of stories you may have missed today. Cush Jumbo Eyes Saint JoanFormer fresh face Cush Jumbo, who appeared on Broadway last season opposite Hugh Jackman in The River, will play the title role in George Bernard Shaw’s Saint Joan, helmed by Josie Rourke. According to the Daily Mail, the production is scheduled to run at London’s Donmar Warehouse from December; a Donmar spokesperson would not confirm the report at this time. The play was last revived on the Main Stem in 1993, starring Maryann Plunkett.Cyndi Lauper & Kit Harington Tapped for the OliviersKinky Boots scribe Cyndi Lauper will perform both on her own and in a unique collaboration at this year’s Olivier Awards; the London incarnation of the Tony-winning tuner garnered seven nominations for British theater’s most prestigious prize. Other names enlisted for the ceremony on April 3 include Kit Harington (Doctor Faustus), Amber Riley (Dreamgirls), Michael Feinstein, and the cast of The Maids—Uzo Aduba, Laura Carmichael and Zawe Ashton. As previously reported, international audiences can catch the event at the Royal Opera House on YouTube.New Marsha Norman Tuner to Bow at Old GlobeNew musical October Sky will open San Diego’s Old Globe’s 2016-17 season. Featuring a book by Pulitzer Prize and Tony winner Marsha Norman (’night, Mother, The Secret Garden) and Aaron Thielen (Hero), and music and lyrics by Michael Mahler (Diary of a Wimpy Kid), the production will run September 10 through October 23 on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre. Directed and choreographed by Rachel Rockwell, the show is inspired by the 1999 film Rocket Boys, which follows a local high schooler who decides to enter a rocketry competition after the Soviets launch the Sputnik rocket. Will this be the blast off the show needs to get to Broadway?Lin-Manuel Miranda’s ‘Pinch-Me Moments’Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda recently sat down with Katie Couric and all sorts of tidbits about the Tony winner came to light, from having “about ten different pinch-me moments a day,” to when he fell in love with hip-hop, to scoop on the Hamilton Mixtape. Phillipa Soo and Renée Elise Goldsberry also pop up…check out the interview below; the show, as if you weren’t already aware, is playing at the Richard Rodgers.

first_imgNCUA said Thursday that its corporate resolution program and NCUA Guaranteed Notes program are improving and that updated information on their costs is available online.“Six years, ago, projections of possible Stabilization Fund assessments to credit unions ran as high as $9.2 billion,” said NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz. “However, prudent management of the Stabilization Fund, an improving economy and an effective legal strategy have produced a much better long-term outcome for federally insured credit unions. At present, we do not see a need for further assessments, and we will continue our sound management policies and litigation strategy.” continue reading » 1SHARESShareShareSharePrintMailGooglePinterestDiggRedditStumbleuponDeliciousBufferTumblrlast_img

Marketing unicorns and other myths about big data

first_img 15SHARESShareShareSharePrintMailGooglePinterestDiggRedditStumbleuponDeliciousBufferTumblr,Helen Lawler Helen Lawler, president of FINspiration, has more than 20 years of leadership in marketing financial services. FINspiration is a strategic Marketing firm focused on financial services and specializing in the … Web: www.finspirationnow.com Details Does your Marketing team feel like using big data is a fantasy? There is nothing like looking for a unicorn to find out it doesn’t exist. Yet, with big data, many CUs continually search for the magic to no avail.Is data really that elusive? Yes. And no. We know that good data drives good decision making. It is vital in validating or challenging assumptions, reducing risk and improving efficiency. However, drawing insights from data and then applying them often becomes a mythical creature. There are several reasons why CUs fail:Limited access to data. Whether it is a lack of a database/data mart or inadequate data collection, there often is limited access or an issue with data integrity. Unfortunately, it is a common problem. For instance, there can’t be an email campaign, if you don’t collect emails in a designated field. There are no segmentation or predictive models, if you don’t capture the demographic or behavioral data points.Disorganized data. Perhaps you have data, but it is overwhelming, unorganized or the UI is poor. Data that can’t be processed effectively either creates a barrier for proper analysis or the dreaded “analysis paralysis”. Having knowledgeable analysts on board can reduce this friction and allow for pinpointing the right information and needed models.Inability to interpret. If seeing trends and drawing insights is not a strength of your team, the data is not actionable. The data needs to be presented in a useful way and someone needs to be able to drill into it. They need to see the business application and translate it into strategy and pragmatic tactical execution. Despite numerous marketing growth goals, we often see these data problems continue. Thus, the first step is to realize marketing is a revenue-center and can deliver a positive ROI with a proper investment. Then your IT and Marketing should create a practical plan and start small—regardless if the data is housed internally or outsourced. Finally, your Marketing team must have a mix of analysts and strategists that are comfortable with how the data aligns with the business. When they understand the key performance indicators (KPIs), they can get a holistic view of how to create compelling campaigns to drive growth. Addressing these concerns will turn a marketing fantasy into reality—and success! Unicorns and all.last_img read more

When judicial deference becomes dereliction of duty

No Comments
| rgzam

first_imgOn Oct. 28, in an undergraduate course she was teaching on ethics, when the subject of same-sex marriage arose there was no debate because, a student said, Abbate insisted that there could be no defensible opposition to this.(Marquette is a Jesuit school.)After class, the student told her that he opposed same-sex marriage and her discouraging of debate about it.She replied (he recorded their interaction) that “there are some opinions that are not appropriate that are harmful … do you know whether anyone in the class is homosexual? … in this class homophobic comments … will not be tolerated.”The student’s appeals to Abbate’s superiors were unavailing (the chairman of her philosophy department referred to the student as an “insulin [sic] little twerp”) so he gave John C. McAdams his recording of Abbate rebuffing him.McAdams, a tenured professor then in his 41st year at Marquette and a conservative who blogs about the school’s news, emailed Abbate seeking her version of the episode.Without responding to him, she immediately forwarded his email to some professors. After this matter earned national media attention, she received some critical emails, some of them vile, and Marquette rightly branded them “hate mail.”However, for these, and for the unspecified “harm” that they supposedly caused Abbate, McAdams was held to be somehow blameworthy.Marquette, however, offered no evidence that he had anything to do with the emails.After a committee drawn from the university’s monochrome culture recommended suspending McAdams without pay for two semesters, Marquette’s president insisted that McAdams also express in writing “deep regret” and confess that his blog post was “reckless and incompatible” with Marquette’s mission and values.McAdams refused and has been unemployed ever since.Being a private institution, Marquette had a right to be as hostile as it obviously is to the First Amendment — except for this:Its contract with tenured faculty says no one shall be disciplined for exercising “legitimate personal or academic freedoms of thought, doctrine, discourse, association, advocacy, or action” and that the threat of dismissal shall not be used to “restrain” constitutional rights. A circuit court, ignoring Marquette’s ignoring of a Wisconsin contract, refused to adjudicate this dispute.Deferring to Marquette, the court essentially held that a professor’s academic freedom exists only until some other professors, and university administrators, say it does not.So, the deferential court allowed Marquette an unconstrained right to settle a contract dispute in which it was an interested party. Because there is almost no Wisconsin case law concerning academic freedom that could have guided the circuit court, McAdams is asking the state supreme court to bypass the appeals court and perform its function as the state’s “law-developing court.”He is also asking the court to be cognizant of the cultural context:Nationwide, colleges and universities “are under pressure” — all of it from within the institutions — “to enact or implement speech codes or otherwise restrict speech in various ways.” This episode, now in its fourth year, began because McAdams tried to assist a student who suffered unprofessional behavior by a bullying instructor. George Will is a nationally syndicated columnist for The Washington Post who writes from a conservative perspective.More from The Daily Gazette:EDITORIAL: Thruway tax unfair to working motoristsEDITORIAL: Urgent: Today is the last day to complete the censusEDITORIAL: Find a way to get family members into nursing homesEDITORIAL: Beware of voter intimidationFoss: Should main downtown branch of the Schenectady County Public Library reopen? Abbate has moved on.Now at the University of Colorado, she is still a (perhaps career) graduate student, writing a doctoral dissertation on the importance of the rights of … animals.The wreckage she left in her wake illustrates how rights are imperiled when judicial deference becomes dereliction of judicial duty. Prospective Marquette students, and Marquette alumni, must decide whether this school, awash with the current academic hysteria and corruption, merits their confidence and support.Wisconsin’s Supreme Court must lay down the law that can stop some of the rot that this case illustrates. She has called McAdams “the ringleader” of “extreme white [sic] wing, hateful people,” a “moron,” “a flaming bigot, sexist and homophobic idiot” and a “creepy homophobic person with bad argumentation skills.”This aspiring philosopher’s argumentation skills can be inferred from her reliance on epithets. Before McAdams had written a syllable, she claimed for herself the coveted status of victim, branding as “harassment” his request for her side of the story.Striking a pose of bravery, she accused him of trying “to scare me into silence.”When, on Nov. 9, McAdams blogged, his post took no position on same-sex marriage but said this should be a debatable issue.The next day, Abbate drafted a letter asking that McAdams be disciplined.He was. Categories: Editorial, OpinionWASHINGTON — Wisconsin’s Supreme Court can soon right a flagrant wrong stemming from events set in motion in 2014 at Milwaukee’s Marquette University by Cheryl Abbate.Although just a graduate student, she already had a precocious aptitude for academic nastiness. last_img read more

Liverpool plot loan deal for Ndombele

No Comments
| rgzam

first_img The fanciful idea has been mooted by French source Foot Mercato, who claim that Klopp is looking at a loan deal with an option to buy for the powerful midfielder. The article claims the relationship between Ndombele and boss Jose Mourinho has “deteriorated to the point of no return” after the Portuguese boss’ comments on the Mauricio Pochettino signing earlier in the season. Ndombele became the club’s record signing last summer after Tottenham forked out an initial £55.45million for his signature prior to add-ons. Mourinho though did not waste any time publicly stating what he thought about the former Lyon man.Advertisement The Spurs boss claimed in January that the 23-year-old was “always injured.” “He has to know he has to do much better and know I cannot keep giving him opportunities to play because the team is much more important,” he then said of the player after a woeful display against Burnley. That has led to Ndombele looking for a way out, as per the source, and Liverpool have, apparently reignited their interest in “recent days”. read also:​Ndombele leaning towards Tottenham exit As cited by the report, Klopp hardly needs a player in the mould Ndombele with Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Giorgio Wijnaldum already on board. However, James Milner, 34, will not be around much longer and Naby Keita has not had the impact Klopp would have wanted. That leads the outlet to claim that Klopp is looking to push through a season-long loan deal, and a “large purchase option” may well be tempting for Mourinho and Daniel Levy.

McGhee relishing Irish challenge

No Comments
| rgzam

first_img But the Irish will view this weekend’s match-up with just as much importance, knowing a win at home will fire them right back into the qualification fight following last November’s defeat at Celtic Park. Each of these factors has added a pinch of intrigue to a clash that already has local rivalry for spice. And Gordon Strachan’s number two McGhee gave the permission for the Tartan Army to keep on stoking the fires as he said: “I think you can’t build this game up enough. “In the scheme of what we have experienced as coaches coming into the job, this is the biggest game we’ve had. “But the next one after that will become the biggest one and the one after that will be bigger still. “So build this up as much as you like. We recognise the importance of it to everyone. “We relish this challenge, we believe we can go there and win and we are all looking forward to the game.” But even with so much at stake as Scotland bid to end their 18-year wait to reach a major finals, the Scotland assistant manager is not worried about the occasion getting to their players. The Scots will cross the Irish Sea looking to take another step towards the Euro 2016 finals in France. Victory at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday will put five points between them and Martin O’Neill’s side and likely keep them apace with Poland and Germany at the top of Group D as they take on strugglers Georgia and Gibraltar. “I don’t think nerves will come into this at all,” said the former Motherwell and Aberdeen boss. “These are guys who play in the Premier League, the Championship and Champions League every season. “They have played in big games with big atmospheres. They relish it and thrive on it. “Far from being nervous I think they will all say, ‘Bring it on’.” Scotland warmed up for the Irish with a low-key 1-0 win over Qatar in Edinburgh on Friday night, while O’Neill’s side hosted England on Sunday but could not raise themselves to claim anything more than a goalless draw with the Auld Enemy. While Scotland were hardly tested by the 2022 World Cup hosts at Easter Road, McGhee was adamant that the match had proved beneficial in the build-up to their date in Dublin. “This is no doubt it was worthwhile,” he said. “I think we had to have a game. It was a test enough physically. Tactically they gave us some issues, so it was good. “How much can we read into the positions some guys played that night? Nothing, nothing whatsoever. Ikechi Anya played right-back on Friday. He will not play right-back against the Republic. I can categorically state that now. “We felt people needed a game and we couldn’t get them all in their favoured positions, so we felt Ikechi was quite capable of playing where he did. He acquitted himself quite well and got a game. “As for Ireland’s match with the English, you try and read between the lines and deduce what Martin (O’Neill) might be thinking. But like the Republic might be looking at us on Friday night, there will be certain things they think they know because of what they have seen and we are the same. “But the reality is that until the team-sheet comes in over in Dublin, we won’t really know what they will do and they won’t know what we will do.” Ireland were undone the last time they faced Scotland by a moment of magic from Shaun Maloney as he swept the hosts in front in Glasgow following a clever corner routine. And McGhee says it will again come down to individual brilliance – rather than a tactical master-stroke – to decide this weekend’s meeting. He said: “What happened with the game here was that Shaun Maloney and Scott Brown conjured a goal from a set-play that we had initiated. “But they improvised and scored an amazing goal. That is nothing to do with us on the bench. That was them and their ability. “We give the guys a platform to keep the game tight and then do something like that. “Winning the game will come down to the individual or the team themselves – not us on the bench.” Mark McGhee claims Scotland’s crucial Dublin clash with the Republic of Ireland deserves to be hyped up – but he insists the pressure will not put the Dark Blues off their stride.

first_img State budget vs. job creation – January 22, 2015 NEWTON, Mass. – Senior captain Brett Conley (Fairfield, CT/Fairfield Warde) notched five goals and one assist to lead the Mount Ida College men’s lacrosse team past visiting Maine Maritime Academy 13-5 in the semifinal round of the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) tournament this Wednesday in Newton, Massachusetts. The Mustangs advance to their sixth consecutive NAC championship against the winner of Castleton State College and Johnson State College. The Mustangs improve to 12-6 overall, 10-1 in the NAC while the Mariners end their very successful 2009 season at 8-4, 7-2 in conference competition.The Mustangs came out flat and the Mariners capitalized on it in the first three minutes of the contest taking a 1-0 lead on a Garrett Lake (Farmington, ME/Mt. Blue) goal from sophomore Christopher Keiley (Holliston, MA/Holliston). Mount Ida answered a minute later on Conley’s first score of the game off a feed from sophomore Matthew Savage (Peabody, MA/Peabody) knotting it at 1-1.The Mariners would not go away re-gaining the advantage on a Keiley score off a dish from senior Phillip McNerney (Eliot, ME/Marshwood) leading 2-1 at the 10:37 mark in the first quarter. The visitors added another, up by two scores midway through the first, on a Richard McKee (Plymouth, MA/Plymouth South) goal from Nick Lund (Alfred, ME/Massabesic) ahead 3-1, their largest lead of the game.After a 7-0 run by the Mustangs, the visitors finally answered in the beginning of the third quarter on a freshman Brian Corain (Berwick, ME/St. Thomas Aquinas) unassisted score down 8-4. Mount Ida responded with a goal by Battapaglia from sophomore Dan Harrington (Westford, MA/Westford Academy) to lead 9-4 with 11 minutes to go in the third quarter. Another Corain goal for the Mariners at the end of the third made it 9-5 Mustangs heading into the fourth. This is placeholder textThis is placeholder textThat was about it for the visitor’s small comeback while the Mustangs reeled off four final goals of the contest all in the fourth frame.

CA voters in poll say immigrants are beneficial

No Comments
| rgzam

first_imgA recent poll conducted by the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, the Los Angeles Times and SurveyMonkey found that California voters are more likely than the rest of the nation to see immigrants as beneficial to society.The poll — which took place from Oct. 29 to Nov. 3 and asked more than 5,000 people about their thoughts on immigration, government and the economy — took into account voters’ political affiliations and demographics and tested samples from California and the nation at large.According to USC News, the poll found that 59 percent of California voters believe that immigrants strengthen society and 35 percent believe that they weaken it. In comparison, only 49 percent of U.S. voters believe that immigration is beneficial while 43 percent believe it is detrimental.However, the poll also found that 41 percent of California voters believe that immigrants cause financial difficulties, while 10 percent say that they make things easier financially and 39 percent say that they make no difference. These results, according to Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics Director Dan Schnur, demonstrate that Californians recognize the short-term challenges of immigration as well as the long-term benefits.“It’s not surprising that Californians are much more positive about the benefits of immigration than voters nationally, but even our state’s residents recognize that immigration can present economic challenges as well,” Schnur told USC News.The results of the poll showed a clear division among party lines, with the majority of Democrats harboring positive feelings about immigration and cultural diversity and the majority of Republicans coming out against it. Furthermore, demographics play a role as well; a majority of younger and minority voters in California supported immigration.The poll also tested voters’ opinions on economic inequality, with 59 percent of California voters stating that an economic system that favors the wealthy is a significant issue and only 39 percent citing government regulation of the free market as a bigger problem.last_img read more
