Bernanke Caught Between Deception & Depression

Peter Schiff, Townhall
Amidst many widely followed data points that show that inflation, consumer spending, and employment levels are on the rise, today's FOMC statement conspicuously avoided any hint that monetary tightening is even being considered. Instead, the Fed indirectly patted itself on the back for some perceived economic gains without committing to any of the logical monetary steps that these improvements should have triggered. Their stance appears to remain that although a full recovery is nigh, the economy will remain dependent on near-zero interest rates through 2014. They hope that no one...

The Agony And Ecstasy Of Mike Daisey

molochIt seems that noted firebrand Mike Daisey's story - the one about the crippled, underaged factory workers who unspooled tales of woe and torture at the hands of their evil Foxconn masters at Apple's behest - was at least partially fabricated. He was outed as, at best, a bad journalist and at worst a fraud. To be clear, he's a monologist and playwright and had no business telling this story (just as he really had no business telling Amazon's story way back when) but he, like so many creatives, riffed on science and technology for popular effect and got both drastically wrong.

Financing a New Car Doesn't Have to Feel Like a Catch-22

The 21st century has brought tremendous improvements in the fuel efficiency of gasoline-powered cars, but fuel prices are still leaving a collective knot in the stomachs of already financially-stressed Americans. The "haves" have no problem forking over the cash for new, higher MPG or hybrid gasoline-electric cars. But those who have not-as-much (and the irony here is not lost) may be trapped in less fuel-efficient, older cars for the very reason they need to save -- they just don't have the cash flow for a new car.

Anahit Hayrapetyan, 63

Anahit Hayrapetyan, identified by the coroner's office as a 63-year-old white woman, died Monday, March 5, after being strangled in the 2000 block of West Whittier Boulevard in Montebello, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.

Family members discovered Anahit Hayrapetyan and her husband about 11 a.m. in their apartment at a senior living center, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.

Coroner?s records show the woman had been strangled and suffered blunt force trauma to the body. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The husband, Baghdo Hayrapetyan, attempted to kill himself with a knife after he strangled Anahit, according to officials.

Baghdo Hayrapetyan, identified by authorities as a 72-year-old white man, was taken to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center in critical condition and remains hospitalized there.

There were no witnesses to the incident, but it was being investigated as a domestic-violence murder, the department said in a statement.

Some said the man may have been suffering from dementia.

"He would forget stuff all the time," friend Mary Delgado told KTLA News. "She always took care of him."

Sheriff's officials could not immediately confirm that the man had mental problems, but said it would part of their investigation.

Baghdo Hayrapetyan has since been charged with murder in connection with his wife's death. His next court appearance is scheduled for March 16 at the East L.A. Municipal Court.

Anyone with additional details about the death is asked to contact the sheriff?s homicide bureau at (323) 890-5500. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.

Encyclopedia Britannica Consigns Print Edition To History

38952aIn 1768, the Enlightenment was in full swing, and the printing press was being employed liberally as a method of disseminating knowledge among the (then still relatively few) literate and learned. Few general-purpose reference works existed (the earliest came only a few years before), however, with much essential knowledge split between many smaller, more specific volumes. On Optics, or On the Use of Leeches, or Travels Among the Savages of the New World, that sort of thing. That year, the Encyclopaedia Britannica printed its first edition: three volumes comprising a compressed but useful near-totality of human knowledge. It is difficult for us to conceive of, having grown up with reference works, and more difficult still for a new generation raised with the Internet and its promise of instant access to virtually any work or knowledge. So it is likewise strange to attempt to put in context the fact that 2010's Encyclopaedia Britannica will be the last one printed. Some will stroke their chins, some will wail and tear their hair, some will shout for joy. But most, perhaps most tellingly, won't care - indeed won't ever notice.

For Advertisers And Investors, Social Network User Numbers Often Don't Add Up

facebook_ipo_map_610.jpg

When does 845 million not equal 845 million?

When it's the number of active users Facebook claims in its initial public offering filing. Last week the social networking giant amended that filing and conceded it may not be so giant. While still massive, Facebook said as many as 6% of those accounts may be fakes and another 5% may be from people who downloaded Facebook's mobile app and have it running in the background of their device even though they no longer use the site.

"Anyone who has logged in within a month is considered an 'active user' depending on who you're talking to," said Ed Zitron of TriplePoint PR in New York. "People use Quantcast and Compete to judge these scores, but those can be inaccurate."

Sponsor

The self-reported nature of social network statistics is presenting problems for advertisers who are looking for places to spend their online ad budget and investors who want to know the true value of Facebook before they purchase shares in the IPO. While every major social network and search engine is looking for ways to better target ads and increase click-through rates, sheer size may be a factor for companies looking to run an initial advertising campaign.

"The only number an advertiser cares about is the number of prospective customers it can reach -- and what it takes to get them to buy whatever it is the advertiser is selling," said Marty Levine, executive vice president of product development at Prosyna Inc.

Advertisers are finding it hard to figure out the exact number of those prospective customers on social media. Facebook said 463 million, or more than half, of its users check the site everyday. And, at first glance, that seems about right if you spend any amount of time hanging out with people under 30 who often use it in place of email and traditional chat clients. But the numbers were drawing increased scrutiny from Wall Street analysts trying to price Facebook's IPO, which prompted last week's clarification.

Facebook is not, however, the only social network that may -- or may not -- be exaggerating its claims:


"Measuring user interaction is a finicky business at the best of times, but exactly how you'd police such a problematic area is tricky at the best of times," said Lance Paterson, a brand designer and consultant. "For example, Twitter claims 175 million users: however, 56 million of those do not follow a single other account. In fact, some studies claim that only 5% of accounts are responsible for 95% of all tweets. So is there any value in the process at all?"

Thumbnail image for shutterstock_advertising_billboard.jpg

The individual idiosyncrasies of each site also play a role. Is Google counting me as an active user of Google+ when I click on search results that got pushed to the top because people I am connected to on Google+ found the same link useful? Do I get counted as an active Facebook user if I "like" an article in the Boston Globe every few days but never log into Facebook? Does Twitter count me as an active user if I use a third-party client to post tweets, but never go on Twitter's own site where I would potentially see promoted tweets and ads?

"Unless you're Pepsi or possibly Budweiser you need to understand the potential response from the subset you really care about: your target customers who may or may not be active on a particular social network," Levine said. "And you need to care more about the factors you can control, including the timing that will find them most active and the content that will attract them."

None of this is to suggest that social networks are deliberately trying to mislead advertisers and investors. The simple fact is that it's difficult - and getting even more difficult - to track who is doing what on your social network. As users have become more privacy conscious, many have adopted anti-tracking software, which also throw off the numbers. Add in privacy laws, like the new European Union online privacy laws, and it gets even harder for social networks to at least publicly disclose how many people are using the site.

You can thank Facebook's IPO for all the sudden scrutiny of active users. People who advertise on social networks get fairly detailed analytics and, at the very least, they can tell whether or not an ad is working and whether or not they should continue using a platform. Wall Street investors, however, don't have access to those analytics and need to rely on the raw numbers - raw numbers that they often have to trust the companies to give them.

Avoid Getting Taken to the Cleaners, the Poorhouse, or Worse - To Jail: Be Your Own Detective

Just last night on "American Greed" I heard the story of Stephen Trantel, the Long Island Bank Robber, and his former wife, Jeanne. Before Stephen was arrested for his crimes, Jeanne knew nothing of the family's financial affairs-she merely received an allowance from her husband each week. She didn't know what an ATM card was, let alone own one. As crazy as it sounds, a similar situation (minus the bank heists, we hope) could happen to too many of us.
