It's that time of year when ad agencies scrape together every insignificant new client project to try to bolster their end-of-year new-business tally. The weight of new accounts won across the past 12 months is one of the key indicators of agency health.
A new business bounty can extricate the bean counter from the CEO's back for a month or two, ensure a better "school report" in Campaign's annual review of agency performance and, crucially, does wonders for staff morale - particularly if it translates into healthy Christmas bonuses.
So you can imagine the mood at JWT this week after a decidedly disappointing year, capped by the last week's loss of its flagship Vodafone UK account. JWT, which had the lion's share of the UK business, lost out to Bartle Bogle Hegarty in a winner-takes-all pitch for the telecoms giant.
It certainly wasn't an easy decision for Vodafone's David Wheldon to make. JWT's parent, Sir Martin Sorrell's WPP, wheeled out the big guns to try to secure the business. But if you've seen the agency's "fairground" Christmas campaign for Vodafone, you'll guess the writing was already on the wall; Vodafone is not a client known for its ability to buy great advertising, but I'd put my money on BBH rather than JWT to sort that out.
It's the second big blow for WPP in as many weeks. Its United agency just lost the £75 million Sky account, and all WPP attempts to keep the business within the family by housing it at Grey failed miserably. So with Grey enjoying only a very modest year, JWT still way off track, and United forced into ripping itself up and starting again, there won't be much Christmas cheer in the advertising wing of WPP's Farm Street headquarters.
A solid performance from WPP's IPA Effectiveness winner Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R, and an Ogilvy that finally looks to be getting its integrated act together to real effect, are the saving highlights. Don't expect Sorrell to accept further decline, though. Advertising's most formidable business-building force, the Sorrell machine will no doubt already be working on a 2007 turnaround.
* ROLEX. CHECK. Fat expense account. Check. Aston Martin. Check. No, not 007 getting ready for a date. Just your average successful adman inventorying the trappings of his trade. Or at least that's how the flash adman of popular media mythology would have it (and by the way, adwomen are much harder to stereotype).
In the heady Eighties of adland's heyday, perhaps this wasn't too far from the truth. These days, though ... well, OK, it's still not too far from the truth. According to the research behind Campaign's latest A-list of the ad industry's movers and groovers, the finest share quite a few characteristics with their stereotype.
The Merc is the car of choice for adland's elite, though chances are there's an Aston Martin in the garage for Sundays. Meanwhile, London's exclusive Hampstead is the most popular area to live in, closely followed by expensively trendy Islington.
Top TV viewing for our stars is that window on power and corruption, The West Wing. A whopping 86 per cent of our over-achievers are men, one in 10 are Geminis (clever, communicative, sociable), and if in doubt call them John - that's what five of them are (or Jonathan).
As a map of the people driving the communications industries, The A-list makes fascinating reading. But the truth is that the benefits of a successful advertising career now come at a much higher price than they used to: crushing quarterly financial pressures, international reporting structures, over-demanding under-paying clients, and no more long lunches. And forget ostentatious displays of wealth. Woe betide the adman who pulls up at a client meeting in his DB6: the procurement director would whip his calculator out in a flash.
Even adland's latest entrepreneur, Nick Hurrell - whose comfortable lifestyle and likeness to our children's favourite mail man has earned him the nick-name Postman Patek Phillippe - was flashing his Oyster card around at last week's A-list shindig. Turns out he's now master of all the bus routes between his multi-million pound Chelsea home and the West End.
Even so, the adman stereotype is clearly alive and well and enjoying a very healthy six-figure salary in an agency near you. But these days you can be sure he's earning practically every penny.
* MIND YOU, a fly on the wall at the IPA's annual President's reception (invitations dispatched this week to adland's finest), would find the flash adman hard to spot.
Try as it might, the IPA still can't quite shake off its fusty image. The preponderance of balding pates and comfy paunches at the annual get-together is a regular reminder that - for a vibrant, creative, youthful industry - advertising still has a nicely Establishment core.
So it will be interesting to see whether the newly anointed president elect, M&C Saatchi chairman Moray MacLennan, will bring a new image to bear. Certainly he will be the IPA's first poster-boy President, being possessed of all the looks and charm that the slick stereotype demands.
But as he begins to draw up the agenda for his presidency, MacLennan would do well to include a new emphasis on adland's unique ability to conjure cut-through creative ideas that build brands and boost British business's bottom line in the digital age.
The IPA is already well aware of the need to promote the effectiveness of the industry's work and its financial contribution to the economy. But somehow it never quite manages to drive home the sheer creative brilliance of its constituents.
Perhaps this is because creatives and the younger members of the industry don't so readily engage with the Association. But if ever there was a time to underline adland's role as the home of brilliant ideas, this is it.
* MAURICE LEVY, boss of Publicis Groupe, has denied he wants to buy rival holding company Interpublic Groupe. But sources reckon it's not quite so black and white. And maybe the news that IPG's DraftFCB agency has just lost the $570 million US Walmart account it won only a month ago might help Levy change his mind.
Clearly there's more to the Walmart loss than meets the eye (the marketing chief who appointed the agency left Walmart suddenly last week). Whatever, the loss is a significant blow to IPG; Walmart was a fleeting piece of good news in an otherwise gloomy year.
Not surprisingly the loss sent IPG's share price tumbling, by more than 6 per cent. And with the dollar so weak against the euro, IPG starts to look like an attractive target.
Will it survive intact through 2007? I wouldn't put money on that one.

Beale's Best In Show: Orange
Orange is one of those advertisers that got it brilliantly right straightaway and then spent years trying to rediscover the creative advertising plot. Then it started getting some great work through Mother. And then its France Telecom parent decided to hand the whole international consumer business to Publicis and its Fallon agency earlier this year.
It seemed a decision that had as much to do with politics and price as with advertising quality. All things considered, Orange has been pretty lucky. Fallon is one of London's most creative agencies and looks set to be a fine home for the brand. This is the first proper branding push from Fallon, and it's a sure sign that the work is on the right track. It gives Orange a really portable brand property - or rather, two: a pair of little wind-up characters created by Aardman Animations, a company whose work instinctively taps into the nation's affections.
The campaign introduces the new strategy of "togetherness" - our two plastic heroes are stuck together - and is designed to encourage more (mobile) contact between friends. It's got a lovely Dom Joly-esque feel to it. The two white characters trundle through the streets, and when they stop, bemused passers-by wind them up again. As mobile-phone ads go, this is one of the best around. But what Orange's advertising really needs now is some consistency; it's crucial that the wind-up guys are given real legs.Reuse content

U.S. Senators Kay Hagan (NC) and Saxby Chambliss (GA) led a bipartisan group of lawmakers on a letter today that asks EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to use the agency's existing waiver authority to adjust the corn-ethanol mandate for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). A copy of the letter is available here.
"With record droughts across the United States causing corn supplies to shrink and prices to spike, an adjustment to the corn-ethanol mandate will provide relief from an emergency that is harming North Carolina's poultry and livestock producers and driving up food prices for consumers, " said Hagan. "While I believe the RFS is helping to bring advanced biofuels to market that are critical to reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil, the EPA should adjust the corn-ethanol mandate to reflect the new market conditions created by the worst drought in 50 years."
"The North Carolina Poultry Federation, the voice of the state's poultry industry since 1968, praises Senator Hagan for her leadership on an issue of great importance to our members," said the federation's Executive Director Robert Ford. "Our poultry producers desperately need relief from record high corn prices, and we thank Senator Hagan for bringing together a group of bipartisan lawmakers to request a waiver from the corn ethanol mandate of the Renewable Fuels Standard."
Deborah M. Johnson, CEO of the NC Pork Council said, "We appreciate Sen. Hagan's efforts in bringing this important issue to the attention of her senate colleagues and we are grateful for her leadership in joining livestock and poultry organizations in petitioning EPA to grant us relief from the Renewable Fuels Standard."
24 other Senators -- 12 Democrat and 12 Republican -- joined Hagan and Chambliss on the letter, including: Senators Pryor (AR) Boozman (AR), Cardin (MD), Isakson (GA), Coons (DE), Hutchison (TX), Feinstein (CA), Sessions (AL), Carper (DE), Burr (NC), Mikulski (MD), Murkowski (AK), Webb (VA), Coburn (OK), Warner (VA), Graham (SC), Udall (NM), McCain (AZ), Landrieu (LA), Risch (ID),Shaheen (NH), Crapo (ID), Manchin (WV) and Wicker (MS).
"The strong bipartisan showing on the letter is evidence of the severity of the situation. I am hopeful that Administrator Jackson will act quickly to waive the corn-ethanol mandate and bring relief to millions of Americans who will be affected by this far-reaching natural disaster," said Hagan.

When Conservatives Don't Like Small Government
Read More.
The conservative gospel holds that government is best when it is closest to the people, except when it's not. Advocates of limited government prefer state government to the federal government and local government to state government.
This week in North Carolina, however, that philosophy was abandoned after local government took an action that state conservatives didn't like.
The Republican-dominated state Senate voted May 14 to ban local governments from cracking down on smoking. The measure was especially aimed at Wrightsville Beach, where voters, by a 2-to-1 margin, had decided to ban smoking on the town-owned shorefront.
Republican state senators would have none of it. The major sponsors of the Senate measure received campaign contributions from big tobacco companies. The law would also affect more than a dozen other communities that have approved limitations on smoking.
The vote infuriated Wrightsville Beach's mayor, David Cignotti, who told the Raleigh News and Observer: "The same folks who don't like the federal government telling us what to do are turning around and telling local governments what to do."

UCLA adds another frontcourt commit
Without any semblance of frontcourt depth heading into next season, UCLA coach Steve Alford said he would make size a priority in the Bruins' 2014 recruiting class.
Safe to say, since then, he's kept his word.
UCLA signed three post players in Kevon Looney, Gyorgy Goloman, and Thomas Welsh. And on Tuesday morning, Alford added yet another big man to the mix with a commitment from four-star Australian forward Jonah Bolden.
According to Bruin Sports Report's Edward Lewis, UCLA assistant David Grace went all the way to Australia to speak with Bolden's family and shore up the recruitment. That strategy clearly worked, as Bolden became the fourth player in UCLA's 2014 class on Tuesday.
Now, with a full class in 2014, UCLA will have one of the most talented freshman classes in the nation next season, which should calm any doubts about Alford's ability to recruit -- at least nationally. Welsh is the only local recruit in the class, with Looney coming from Wisconsin and Goloman and Bolden both international players playing prep ball in the United States, in Florida and Nevada, respectively.
Aside from Looney, who's the clear gem of the class, Bolden could be the Bruins' most talented commit in 2014. The 6-8, 195-pound forward was one of the highest-rated uncommitted players, slotting at 62nd overall, according to Rivals.com.

We had a great time at this condo. The unit has a great layout and the furnishings are top-notch. The view is beautiful from both sides, it's right on a golf course, and the walk to the beach is quicker than it looks in the pictures. I plan on returning next year!

From the moment we opened the front door and saw the amazing ocean view on the other side of the condo, we knew we were in for a real wonderful time. The condo was decorated beautifully- HUGE master bed w. a mattress to die for- HUGE master bath- I could go on and on, but the balcony was awesome! Being on this "flag lot" condo, you could see so much more down the coast. Binoculars are a must to see all the cool buildings, beach, and to just people watch! We'll definately consider going back...And Jodi was a big help, too! Thanks for a memorable, relaxing vacation!!!

Dear friends and sponsors of Wikimapa project,
I'm very pleased to have the opportunity of sharing our latest news from the field.
This week Rede Jovem Program and Wikimapa project team promoted a training event for a group of 20 young boys and girls residents from Complexo do Alemao slum that will soon begin the mapping work for Wikimapa project. They will be responsible for engaging the whole community on the mapping activities to ensure visibility of all Points of Interest located on this huge low-income neighborhood and to re-create the official geography, including streets and places never before registered on the existent online mapping services.
Check out what one of the future wiki-reporters, Jaddy Kathryn, 19 years old thinks about wikimapa project and is expecting to see happening on her communty:
"I'm loving to participate on such a nice project like Wikimapa Project and I'm convinced that all residents will love this idea and I can already imagine people feeling very important for having their shops and establishments visible for the entire world! On behalf of my community I want to thank for this wonderful work and project that will bring us lots of benefits".

Full body scanners being introduced at airports to tighten security pose little risk to passengers but raise concerns about privacy, according to a radiology expert.
The scanners are being introduced at Heathrow and Manchester airports from this month, and will be rolled out across the country following the attempted bombing of a US airliner on Christmas Day.
But concerns have been raised that they could expose individuals to dangerous levels of radiation and infringe privacy because of the detailed images produced, leading to the coining of the term "virtual strip search". Writing in the British Medical Journal, Professor Mahadevappa Mahesh, chief physicist and associate professor of radiology at John Hopkins University, says worries about safety are misplaced.
The scanners use either radio waves or low intensity X-rays called "backscatter systems" to generate an image. Radio waves pose no threat and the radiation dose from backscatter systems is so low – less than 0.1 microsievert per scan – that a traveller would have to pass through the scanner 1,000 to 2,000 times to receive the same dose as a chest x-ray, and 2,500 to 5,000 times in a year to exceed the annual safe US limit.
Current calculations show that back scatter systems are safe even for infants and children, pregnant women, and people with genetic sensitivity to radiation. But quality checks of scanners and routine maintenance are essential, Professor Mahesh says. Operators also need radiation safety training to avoid any inadvertent exposure.
Privacy issues were highlighted by reports that the naked image of the Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan was printed and circulated by scanner operators at Heathrow airport. The reports were denied by the British Airports Authority.
Professor Mahesh says concerns about privacy can be mitigated by ensuring the system cannot store images, and by having the image viewing stations at remote locations rather than beside the scanners.

I trusted you
you knew what she put me through

I cried all I'm gonna cry
I was mad that night and you knew it
I was hurt today by my "best friend"
and that hurt worst than anything
so, I guess we can't be friends
it'll be hard to trust you
but maybe I will
But I will never be the same with you again
you're not my new ex best friend
I'm sorry too, but I can't be hurt anymore!

"End of an Era" Bathurst 1979
"End of an Era" The James Hardie Ferodo 1000 at Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia, 1979. This was digitised from an ancient Pioneer DiscoVision disk and player. These were installed in various GMH (Holden) dealerships during the 1980's to play the videos as promotion for the Holden cars. Please excuse any lipsync issues, the disk has severe laser rot and I was lucky to get enough video to splice together to make one complete version. Its a very 'Holden' view of the race. Check out the cool Ford Falcon Hardtops though! And yes I am biased I did have one after all! A nice piece of Aussie history!

Created attachment 586508 [details] [diff] [review]
Keep similar behavior to rest of DOM to traverse script objects,
but don't traverse anything else.
If mDocument is in generation, so is then nsXBLDocumentInfo
(owned by xul cache).
Is there some specific reason you are concerned about moving around script traversal or are you just being safe?
The code looks fine to me, but I don't know anything about nsXBLDocumentInfo, so you should get somebody else to confirm that mDocument always holds the nsXBLDocumentInfo alive.
I talked to jst about this a little, and he said that these objects aren't guaranteed to be in the XUL cache. Or rather, they are in the browser as is, but somebody could configure non-browser usage (or something like that?) so they wouldn't be.
The objects are in XUL cache if they are in CC generation. This relies on the behavior
of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713865.
Ah, yes, that makes sense.
Is that true even for non-chrome XBL documents? I.e. if a user explicitly enables remote XBL for a given site?
If those aren't in XUL cache, document's aren't marked to be in CC generation.
...see the patch for bug 713865.
Good point.

The latter use is what I had in mind.
But also just for administrative use within our own team. I am happy to let
a whole range of staff export metadata, but don't necessarily want them to
import that data.
It would also support the requests, which I expect to see increase in the
future, to provide a list of publications for a departing academic who then
wants to load data into the repository of their new institution.

Hi Vanessa,
At present this is not supported - metadata export and import is restricted
to system administrators. Adding the ability for for 'community
adminsitrators' to export the metadata should be relatively easy.
For what reason do you want to export the data? If it is for them to export
metadata, edit it, then send it to you for re-upload? Or is it for them to
have a copy of the data for use in other systems, perhaps web pages?

Can I exercise this level of control?
It would be great to offer to researchers the ability to export metadata

Dspace-general mailing list
Discussed in the DSpace Developers meeting yesterday (June 6, 2012). Essentially, we agree this sounds like a good option. Mostly we need to locate a volunteer to look into implementation details. A bit more info in the discussion pasted below:
[20:11] <tdonohue> next up, DS-1046
[20:11] <kompewter> [ https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1046 ] - DS-1046 Add metadata export for community and collection managers - DuraSpace JIRA
[20:13] <mhwood> 1046 looks like yet another special case of We Need Finer-Grained Permissions.
[20:15] <tdonohue> It sounds like 1046 may just require enabling the metadata export link for comm/coll admins? That seems like it might not be that hard (unless I'm overlooking something)
[20:17] <mhwood> That would work, I think. But we keep having requests like this all over, and if we can ever get around to reworking the permissions then they all go away – you just set your permissions properly and people get what they are supposed to have.
[20:18] <mhwood> So, for a quick fix, yes, just wire that permission into the code. But there's a more general fix, which I try to bug us all about at suitable intervals....
[20:19] * hpottinger thinks this would be a good use of a business rules engine...
[20:20] <mhwood> Yup, but it starts with staring at the data model and writing out a list of what could and should have separate permissions.
[20:20] <tdonohue> one of the oddities about the "Export Metadata" functionality is that it's actually only available when visiting a community or collection page (then it's in the XMLUI Context menu). It seems odd then that only a full SysAdmin can use it. Usually the SysAdmin tools are under "XMLUI Administrative" menu
[20:20] <mhwood> Point.
[20:21] * mdiggory (~firstname.lastname@example.com) has joined #duraspace
[20:21] <tdonohue> But, on the flip-side, the "Import Metadata" option is in the XMLUI Administrative menu (which is SysAdmin specific). So, all in all, this is slightly odd
[20:22] <mhwood> Yes, it should be made less odd.
[20:22] <mdiggory> Hi everyone, sorry I'm late
[20:24] <tdonohue> So, for Ds-1046, I'd be OK with giving Community/Collection Admins ability to export metadata. But, it does then seem slightly odd that they cannot import it again – but as that's the more dangerous task, perhaps that's OK
[20:24] <mhwood> Not odd that read/write permissions are different, but that they are in two such different places.
[20:25] <mdiggory> Seems like a job for delegated administration to determine
[20:25] <mhwood> Hence my usual rant about finer-grained permissions.
[20:25] <tdonohue> I'm assuming this must not be covered by the delegated admin tools that are already available
[20:26] <helix84> just a comment - i often give different people the csv with metadata to edit, but i'm the only one who ever does the import, and I always look at the diff. so this is definitely a valid use case.
[20:27] <tdonohue> maybe we just need a few new delegated admin configs: 'core.authorization.collection-admin.export-metadata = true/false' and 'core.authorization.community-admin.export-metadata = true/false'
[20:28] <mhwood> If we're going to make it configurable, push it into the authz model instead of proliferating dspace.cfg stuff.
[20:29] <tdonohue> mhwood – although I agree conceptually (for long term), all the other "delegated admin auth" stuff is already in dspace.cfg. So, I was just maintaining consistency for now
[20:29] <mhwood> OK, I'm not familiar with that bit.
[20:30] <tdonohue> but, once the other 'delegated admin auth" stuff is moved out of dspace.cfg, then, yes, I agree
[20:30] <tdonohue> This is the stuff in dspace.cfg : https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L319
[20:30] <kompewter> [ DSpace/dspace/config/dspace.cfg at master · DSpace/DSpace · GitHub ] - https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L319
[20:30] <mdiggory> delegated administration represents "actions" that a user role can perform...
[20:31] <tdonohue> so, it seems like we just need a new configurable action for now – an "export-metadata" action.
[20:31] <mdiggory> Let me ask a tough question here... delegated admin actually controls exposure of UI interfaces, but does it actually result in testing the users ability to alter the data model and run the "business logic" that the UI interacts with?
[20:32] <tdonohue> I think the answer is yes (it actually blocks users in the business logic as well). But, I could be wrong (been a while since I looked at the code)
[20:32] <mhwood> A good point. We shouldn't be controlling access through UI exposure, because we have scads of UIs and they tend to diverge.
[20:33] <mdiggory> https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authorize/AuthorizeConfiguration.java

[20:34] <tdonohue> In any case, we've spent a large amount of time on this one topic
[20:34] <tdonohue> there's a lot of great info here though – need to add to the notes of Ds-1046
[20:34] <tdonohue> Anyone interested in looking more closely at Ds-1046?
[20:35] <tdonohue> (i.e. anyone want to build out this use case)
[20:37] <tdonohue> ok. hearing none right now. Ds-1046 Summary: We brainstormed this out for a bit. (Notes need to be posted to ticket). Needs a developer volunteer to investigate / implement
[20:38] <mdiggory> just one last comment on above... AuthorizeConfiguration is used by AuthorizeUtil and the primary DSO objects

I'm in contact with friends and family in the NY/NJ area and watching the news reports and it appears that people in that area are not as enthralled with the President as they appeared to be in the beginning. Getting utilities back on and the lack of response from FEMA (especially with FEMA running out of food and water) has dampened the spirits of many. Add to that long gas lines and the coming cold front, and the independents I talk to and hear about are leaning toward the GOP and away from the liberals. Hopefully the feeling will prevail through the election period. I expect there will be challenges and I don't expect we will know immediately who the winner is.

On the topic of Hurricane Sandy, in addition to giving the sociopaths something to cheer about, hasn't it exposed Michael Bloomberg for the fanatical whackjob that he is?
- He won't let the National Guard patrol neighborhoods where looting is a problem because they carry guns, and in Bloomer's world, all guns are bad.
- He tried to go forward with the NYC Marathon while people were dying, because like some deranged dictator, he put spectacle ahead of the practical business of Government.
- He won't suspend (or ask the Governor to suspend) regulations about the import and sale of gasoline to allow it to get through to people who need it; because of his fanatical devotion to environmental extremism and refusal to let capitalism work out the problem of fuel shortages.
Bloomberg is a nutjob; and he endorsed Obama.

It won't even be close. To argue, as the media has, that "it's a dead heat," they continue to oversample Democrats well in excess of the 2008 turnout — and it's already a given that the Dems aren't going to exceed that rate. Many, if they won't vote Romney, just won't vote.
It's going to be a landslide, unless the Dems conduct major fraud well beyond the margin of error.
Thanks for posting!

I think it will be close.
I think it will be close enough that I don't know who will win. I still think Obama has the edge in that he can afford to lose more battleground states than Romney-simply because he owns so many big electoral vote states.
I think it is going to end up being a matter of who votes. I have serious doubts that the democrats will turn out in numbers as high as +ll, and while I do think many of the independents are disgruntled republicans, there is no way all of them are. The math just doesn't add up.
Comment by Just Me — November 5, 2012 @ 7:03 am - November 5, 2012
Judging by the crowd that I joined at the Minneapolis-St Paul airport yesterday to see Paul Ryan yesterday, Obama does not have Minnesota in the bag. Even if Obama wins MN by 1 or 2, that portends losses in a number of more conservative swing states. In other words, the fact that MN is even competitive shows it unlikely that Obama will win in the states he needs to reach 270. And I think in a lot of states like MN, there are no small number of Democrats who are not only ambivalent about Obama but also think he will win their state anyway, and many won't bother to vote. I think the other side will take it for granted that Romney can't win states like MN, MI, and PA while our side won't take that for granted.
Romney is going to win IN, FL, VA, and NC, besides all the states McCain won. So, Obama can only lose 20 electoral votes among OH, NV, CO, IA, MN, WI, MI, PA, and NH. It's possible for Obama to lose a couple of those and squeeze by in the others, but you can't like those odds if you're the Obama team.

Comment by Just Me — November 5, 2012 @ 8:04 am - November 5, 2012
The MSM conventional wisdom is based on 2004 and 2008 turnout. The MSM conventional wisdom has it neck in neck and down to the wire for very practical reasons: selling their narrative for as long as possible and then breaking into a sweat to be the first to call a state for Romney or Obama and doing all manner of crystal ball modifications based on the last five minutes and the upcoming 20 minutes. It is a manufactured charade.
The Christian right has not been factored into the polls. The TEA Party has been ignored. For all intents and purposes, 2012 never happened. There are 24 million or more people who have been counting down the days to this election so that they can pull the lever against Obama so hard that it sets the machine on fire.
In 1980, my wife and I climbed into our new hot tub with a buffet of drinks and nibbles and the portable TV sitting nearby to spend the night watching the Carter-Reagan returns. At 8:15, NBC called the election for Reagan.
Tuesday, we will be forced to wait until California shuts its doors, but the Romney landslide will be readily apparent early in the evening.
How does Romney "trickle up" to tying Obama in PA without the MSM conventional wisdom going into hyperdrive? Simple, they want to keep it close to the very last minute to impress their voters (Democrats) to get out and vote and stop Romney at the finish line. What would compel them to discourage their voters?
Comment by heliotrope — November 5, 2012 @ 8:26 am - November 5, 2012
Just to add to V the K's thoughts in his first comment… it's my feeling that any boost Obama may have gotten from Sandy would be nullified by 1) Bloomberg's handling of the situation (NatGuard, marathon) and 2) the stories, mainly centering around Staten Island, of people still not having their needs met.
Independents, I'd think, would look at this and realize we need to change how things are done.

Lefties online seem to think Sandy is some huge boost for their side (and that's the main thing they care about, of course). Wishful thinking?
I have to say, in my circles (which include lefties who have lives, more than the online type of leftie), Sandy hardly comes up as a topic of conversation, and never comes up in connection with Obama.

The Union thuggery going on in the midst of the misery of people affected by Sandy has to reflect poorly on democrats.

I think it will be close.
I think you're right. There might even be a circa-2000 moment where a premature projection is made and an outlet or two has egg on their face. One of the chattering class was saying last night that if provisional ballots in Ohio have to be counted, it may be not until at least the 10th before we know who won.
As far as rally crowd sizes go, Brit Hume made an interesting point on FNC last night: George McGovern had never-before seen crowd sizes in all of his last-minute campaign appearances. And yet, that translated to a 49-state loss. I don't think that's the case this year, but it is food for thought.
Comment by RSG — November 5, 2012 @ 10:11 am - November 5, 2012
The silver lining of the SCOAMF's re-election is that it would hasten the demise of the USA in its current form. I have long thought our increasing cultural divide and impending fiscal bankruptcy make such a break up inevitable.
So, the blue states can form their own country, and the red states can form our own country. They'll have welfare, gay marriage, and 75% income tax rates. We'll have jobs, energy, bacon, guns, football, and 20 oz sodas.
I'm OK with that.

I can't say I am at peace with Obama winning, but I won't be rioting in the streets or anything either-I will just hope in 2012 the GOP can re take the senate (I am pretty certain the GOP's best senate result this time around will be a few more seats-I just don't see them retaking the senate) and slow Obama's ability to do damage down.

I'm not there yet. I was easily distracted in '08, even after watching Republican friends and relatives buy into the hype of the Messiah, if for no other reason than my father died on Election Eve and having the following months (even way past inauguration) of my life get real complicated.
This time around, not so much; particularly if the (un)Affordable Care Act stays mostly intact. That will make the outcome real personal, even if items like the debt crisis, the increasing welfare state, and "It's their fault!" aren't.

Those are definitely mostly red state provisions! I've always wondered what the day will look like when the blue states realize that, despite their paying more federal dollars into the the Treasury than they get back (and the opposite of many red states), they still don't have the resources to singularly keep the lights on and keep warm in winter and cool in summer. [My state alone provides 20-25% of the coal used to produce electricity—and most of it heads towards the Atlantic.]

Allow me to be my usual "cockeyed optimist" self. Folks, IT'S NOT GONNA BE CLOSE. This is going to be a HUGE repudiation of so-called "progressive" policies, and of our sitting narcissist in chief. Romney/Ryan are going to win, and WIN BIG.
Comment by Bastiat Fan — November 5, 2012 @ 12:19 pm - November 5, 2012
The Washington Post's "The Fix" column analyses where President Obama has lost support since 2008. It is an interesting chart, and may portend bad news for the President. Governor Romney has lost little of Senator McCain's 2008 voters and possibly picked up the GOP discontents who sat out 2008.
Ohio early voting looks good for Romney, especially if 13% of the Democrat voters are defectors. I think Michael Barone has it right; Romney wins in a landslide.
Comment by Pat D — November 5, 2012 @ 12:37 pm - November 5, 2012
"In any event, there's little evidence to say that undecideds are breaking in a big way. Note that they are also not "independents," which are a different beast. Most independents have a distinct preference for a candidate, but not a party. Charles Franklin has analyzed undecideds and finds that they break nearly equally."

I really wonder about people who would change their vote to Obama because he took advantage of a disaster related photo-opportunity. Obama in a bomber jacket didn't change his policies (or lack of them), his vision (or lack of one) or his record (or lack of one).
Comment by Brian Smaller — November 5, 2012 @ 8:06 pm - November 5, 2012
Brian I was thinking the same thing.
Looking good during a hurricane isn't that diffiucult.
Lying to the American people about Benghazi is a betrayal. But idiots will march to the poll and vote for the bomber jacket because he looked good in his photo ops, and ignore the cover up in Banghazi and the dismal state of our economy.

The Houston Rockets have agreed to terms on a deal to acquire veteran center Marcus Camby from the Portland Trail Blazers, according to sources with knowledge of the deal.
The deal that has been submitted to the league office for approval, sources said, calls for Houston to send guard Jonny Flynn, center Hasheem Thabeet and a future second-round pick to the Blazers for Camby, who has maintained an offseason residence in Houston for some time and has always liked the idea of playing for the Rockets.

Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten

She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring
When she went off to Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for
the hard-boiled guys from Ireland and the greasy guys from France called the

she wouldn't get scalloped.
Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate

Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University) so

But in spite of all they did for her, one day Yam came home and announced

IBM Relay Sets Big Blue Apart in Hybrid Cloud Race
"No brand is more respected in IT than IBM," said Blue Box founder and CTO Jesse Proudman, in a statement at the time IBM acquired the company. "Blue Box is building a similarly respected brand in OpenStack. Together, we will deliver the technology and products businesses need to give their application developers an agile, responsive infrastructure across public and private clouds. This acquisition signals the beginning of new OpenStack options delivered by IBM. Now is the time to arm customers with more efficient development, delivery and lower cost solutions than they've seen thus far in the market." Meanwhile, Bluemix Dedicated provides access to a collaborative, cloud-based platform in a single tenant environment that is hosted in an IBM cloud center of an organization's choice. This allows for maximum control over where data resides. Supported with dedicated hardware from within a SoftLayer cloud center and direct network connectivity to the enterprise, Bluemix Dedicated gives users the unique benefits of SoftLayer – including a built-in private network and control and workload visibility – and offers run-time capability along with a core set of services. However, the delivery of Bluemix Local last month brought the speed and ease of app development on Bluemix behind an organization's firewall. With its write once, run anywhere feature, enterprises can now swiftly build and run apps in the cloud that stitch together existing systems and connect data and APIs into a single environment, while keeping apps current across all platforms. IBM said the capabilities of Bluemix Local are particularly significant for organizations in regulated industries such as banking, healthcare and financial services, which must follow strict mandates and internal policies for how security, compliance and sensitive customer data is handled outside of their corporate network.For instance, using the syndicated catalog through Bluemix Local, a wealth manager at a financial services organization could leverage the Watson Personality Insights API to better understand and service their customer, IBM said. By analyzing communication between the wealth manager and the customer, a company could build an individual personality index to determine if that person is a risk-taker or more cautious in their investment approach. By narrowing down these personality traits, financial services organizations can provide more insightful recommendations, resulting in highly satisfied customers. "Bluemix Local qualifies as yet another solution that IBM has crafted to meet the discreet requirements of enterprise customers," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT. "As such, it should help the company's efforts around Cloud Foundry-based PaaS -- which research firm Enterprise Strategy Group says are growing 10 times faster than the overall PaaS market. Frankly, not every business requires the levels of security and control offered by Bluemix Local, but those that do will be hard-pressed to find solutions that offer as rich a set of tools and features as IBM's new Bluemix Local."
"With the delivery of Bluemix Local, IBM now has the broadest spectrum of hybrid cloud capability in the industry," IBM's Robinson said in a statement. "Developers are using APIs and building data-intensive apps at an explosive rate, but many, particularly those in heavily regulated industries, want the choice to keep sensitive workloads within their own data center. Clients want options. Now, we are empowering developers to build, deploy and run next-generation apps in the environment they need, with the flexibility to shift across hybrid clouds in a simple click."

Weakening economic growth in China and Brazil hit Caterpillar hard last year, as did lower global commodity prices. As a result, the big machine manufacturer suffered big losses, slipping down five spots on this year's Fortune 500 list. At $47 billion, its 2015 sales were down nearly 15% from the year before. Lower oil prices were particularly painful, sending orders for machines that support oil drilling and well servicing down close to 90% from the year before. But there are potential bright spots: The 91-year-old company is investing in predictive analytics offerings, connecting their machines with data-gathering sensors, and partnering with tech players to create new revenue streams.
