Author Will Leitch and the Curious Case of Chris Borland on SCI TV
Portland, OR (PRWEB) March 31, 2015
Former 49ers linebacker Chris Borland turned more heads with his sudden retirement announcement than during his first year of a promising NFL career. In a March episode of SCI TV, Sports on Earth Senior Writer Will Leitch explores the curious case of Borland and the potential impact on the league. Leitch talks about the decision making process that Borland and other football players will likely use when choosing the preservation of health over a large paycheck, and what impact, if any, he thinks this case will have on the NFL and the sport of football in general.
As the founder of Deadspin, Leitch enjoys finding interesting sports angles outside the mainstream. Chris Borland’s unique retirement, and the flurry of social commentary around it, provide a platform for discussing the larger health effects of football and how we think about the NFL.
“Nothing happens in a vacuum in the NFL,” Leitch said. “You can’t just be an independent actor, you have to stand for this larger organization.”
Leitch thinks that in many ways Borland’s decision cuts to the core of the league because of the type of player he was.
“You have a player that in a lot of ways represents what the league stands for, this gritty, fighter of a guy who’s tough and smart and everything the league should be promoting,” Leitch said. “He made what he saw was a rational decision. The ripples in that wake speak to the potential enormity of what Borland could stand for.”
At the same time Borland is not your typical rookie, coming from a family with more privilege and perhaps more perspective, than many NFL recruits. Either way, commentators and scouts are already watching how players weigh the long term risks of playing football.
“There’s a definite sense in the NFL that this is worrisome,” Leitch said. “This is something that’s becoming not just a ‘journalist problem,’ but a talent problem.”
But none of this seems an imminent threat to the league. Ratings are still sky high and the NFL is more profitable than ever. Leitch thinks Borland’s case and the concussion issue is a problem for the league in the long run; in the short run, business as usual.
“There’s less pressure on (the NFL) to change than maybe there should be,” Leitch says, noting that for fans, “there is a disconnect between people’s moral habits and their viewing habits.”
In the end, Leitch thinks the discussion around the future of football needs to be more nuanced than simply great entertainment versus grave health danger.
“You have to be honest about the enjoyment of the game and what people get out of it rather than just scolding,” Leitch says. “That makes for a more honest conversation and a more complex one that doesn’t have easy answers.”

Cathy Jolley, METRC to discuss Brookings Institute Report and Colorado, A Case Study for Marijuana Industry Regulators, to be presented at ICA Conference, Oct. 11-12, NY
New York, New York (PRWEB) August 23, 2014
Colorado’s Regulatory Recipe for Retail Marijuana: First of Six Essential Ingredients
Part of the legislative mandate surrounding the implementation of Amendment 64, at the behest of the Implementation Task Force, was to use a state-of-the-art “inventory control and tracking” system. In response, the Colorado Department of Revenue promulgated Rule R 309, outlining the new system, formally called Marijuana Inventory Tracking Solution (MITS) and often referred to as the seed-to-sale tracking system.
MITS is a web-based system, developed by Franwell, Inc. (now named Metrc) that interfaces with a system of plant-based tags that rely on a radio frequency identification system. Every plant in the market must be individually tagged and tracked as it moves through the commercial growth and distribution chain.
“The system is widely considered one of the most advanced in the marijuana industry and is used to track product, limit diversion, improve regulatory compliance, and discourage improper market behavior.” Brookings Institute Report
“The MITS system helps the state in a multitude of ways. The system offers the state the ability to track product in ways that far surpass product tracking in most other commodity markets in the U.S.” Brookings Institute Report
“The MITS system also allows the state to collect and analyze data that help improve and streamline enforcement efforts and compliance investigations.” Brookings Institute Report
“In many ways, the MITS system is the backbone of Colorado’s regulatory structure governing legalized marijuana. If effective, it helps businesses and regulators guard against shady practices, while helping keep at bay a federal government that is closely watching enforcement and compliance.” Brookings Institute Report.

New iHangy iPhone 5S Case with Lanyard Necklace Righting Top Apple Smartphone Wrongs
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) March 24, 2014
Owning an iPhone 5S can be an expensive proposition. Therefore, anything a consumer can do to protect their smartphone investment is worth making the effort. Apple accessories manufacture iHangy’s latest innovation, the iPhone 5S Case with Lanyard Necklace, is helping iPhone 5S owners rectify two of the biggest wrongs they are making with their smartphone.
According to a recent Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/06/doing-wrong-iphone_n_4732014.htmlarticle) article, there are nine things iPhone 5S users are doing wrong with their smartphone. Chief among these no-nos are “Using it outside in extreme weather” and “Walking around with your iPhone in your hand.” On the former front, the newspaper explains, “Your iPhone isn’t meant to withstand super hot or super cold temperatures.” On the latter, it warns, “iPhones are a hot commodity on the black market and are a huge target for thieves.” The new iPhone 5S Case with Lanyard Necklace resolves both these issues by protecting the smartphone from extreme temperatures and by keeping it secure around the neck where would-be robbers can’t get at it.
For more information on how an iPhone 5S Case with Lanyard Necklace can protect the iPhone 5S from harsh weather conditions and thieves, contact iHangy’s Palki Kochar. To learn more about the new smartphone case, visit the manufacturer on the web at http://www.ihangy.com/category-s/1842.htm.

Netflix to Offer A/B Testing Case Study at the Big Data & Analytics for Retail Summit
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 03, 2013
Big data has become essential for retailers, helping them sell more goods by analyzing their customer buying patterns. Enormous amounts of raw data comes in to retailers on a daily basis and it is critical for them to be able to extract the key insights from this massive amount of data and develop actionable plans. Attendees at the Big Data & Analytics for Retail Summit will gain unique insight into the innovations that are driving success from analytics executives and data scientists working in retail, eCommerce and consumer goods. The summit is being held at The Westin River North in Chicago, June 20-21.
Netflix, a keynote presenter at the Summit, has over 37 million subscribers worldwide, with 29 million in the U.S. alone. Millions of data points are collected daily and Netflix’s sophisticated data collection and analytic systems can determine not only which movies are watched, but also details about that watcher; including if they watched the movie to the very end and how many times they paused it. Netflix is using this insight to offer better customer service and to create original content based on the viewing habits of its members. Its key to big data success lies in the collection and analysis of the data. At the Summit, Byran Gumm, Manager, Experimentation Platform & Science at Netflix and Juilette Aurisset, Senior Data Scientist at Netflix, will review the challenges they’ve had in conducting and analyzing A/B tests, offer ideas on speeding up the experimentation cycle,and will walk through a Netflix-specific case study.
“Retailers see Big Data as a key competitive advantage that, if implemented correctly, can move more goods off the shelves ,” said Dave Barton, Analytics Division Lead at Innovation Enterprise. “The challenge is in the implementation; to take Big Data and turn it into actionable results. This conference is a prime opportunity for retailers to learn the best practices in the field today.”
Other presenters and topics at the summit include:
