With increasing levels of carbon dioxide accumulating in the atmosphere and moving into marine systems, the world's oceans are becoming more acidic.
The oceans may be acidifying faster today than at any time in the past 300 million years, scientists have found.
To address the concern for acidifying marine ecosystems, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded new grants totaling $12 million in its Ocean Acidification Program.
The program is part of NSF's Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability (SEES) investment.
The awards, the third round in this program, are supported by NSF's Directorates for Geosciences and Biological Sciences.
"These new awards will expand the scope of our knowledge about the types of marine organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems that may be affected in unique ways by a more acidic ocean," says David Conover, director of NSF's Division of Ocean Sciences.
From tropical oceans to icy seas, the projects will foster research on the nature, extent and effects of ocean acidification on marine environments and organisms in the past, present and future.
"NSF is excited to add these high-quality research projects to our growing ocean acidification award portfolio," says David Garrison, program director in NSF's Directorate for Geosciences and chair of NSF's Ocean Acidification Working Group.
Ocean acidification affects marine ecosystems, organisms' life histories, ocean food webs and biogeochemical cycling, scientists have discovered.
Researchers believe there is a need to understand the chemistry of ocean acidification and its interplay with marine biochemical and physiological processes, before Earth's seas become inhospitable to life as we know it.
Animal species from pteropods–delicate, butterfly-like planktonic drifters–to hard corals are affected by ocean acidification. So, too, are the unseen microbes that fuel ocean productivity and influence the chemistry of ocean waters.
As the oceans become more acidic, the balance of molecules needed for shell-bearing organisms to manufacture shells and skeletons is altered.
The physiology of many marine species, from microbes to fish, may be affected. Myriad chemical reactions and cycles are influenced by the pH, or acidity, of the oceans.
The newly funded projects include studies of whether populations of animals have the genetic capacity to adapt to ocean acidification. The findings, scientists say, will yield new insights about how a future more acidic ocean will affect marine life.
"These awards will extend our understanding of the physiological abilities of organisms to adjust to acidifying oceans in the near-term, and the evolutionary capacities of populations to adapt to predicted ocean acidification in the next century," says William Zamer, program director in NSF's Directorate for Biological Sciences.
Has ocean life faced similar challenges in our planet's past?
"Earth system history informs our understanding of the effects of ocean acidification in the present and the future," says Garrison.
For a true comprehension of how acidification will change the oceans, he says, we need to integrate paleoecology with marine chemistry, physics, ecology and an understanding of the past environmental conditions on Earth.
NSF Ocean Acidification Program grantees will ask questions such as: Will regional differences in marine chemistry and physics increase acidification? Are there complex interactions, cascades and bottlenecks that will emerge as the oceans acidify, and what are their ecosystem implications? And if current trends continue, how far-reaching will the changes be?

SpamSieve — The Brooks Review
SpamSieve: On the good side, it has quietly kept spam email out of my face for years and continues to pay for itself. On the bad side, there are a few types of bad email that it has been unable to properly identify.
Every once in a while, I will open my SPAM folder and watch SpamSieve populating it. I smile.
For a $30 app, this seems like an absolute steal of a deal for a problem that almost everyone faces. If you use email, I highly recommend SpamSieve. If you don't use email, I'd love to know how you managed that.

Mobile Editing for Microsoft Office
For those that need to edit Office documents while mobile, here are a few iOS app options.
For Free
Documents Free syncs to Dropbox, Google Drive, and Skydrive. This is a no frills solution.
Quickoffice was independent but is now owned by Google and will only sync to Drive. Since I am moving away from all Google services, I am biased against this app.
For a Fee
Polaris Office is on sale at this moment for a buck. It looks like they are preparing for a new version and want to get the word out beforehand.
Docs To Go Premium is the cream of the crop. Dataviz has been around since 1984 and is good at coding usable apps. There is a less expensive version but I am only considering apps here that sync to a cloud service.

Walt Mossberg and David Pogue Chart New Courses
This is momentous.
A month ago, we found out that Walt Mossberg, along with Kara Swisher, are leaving The Wall Street Journal and AllThingsD.
"For years, Dow Jones/The Wall Street Journal has enjoyed working with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher… however, after discussions, both parties have decided not to renew the agreement," said Gerard Baker, editor in chief of Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal.
Mr. Mossberg and Ms. Swisher are in negotiations with investors and media companies, including Comcast Corp.'s NBCUniversal, for their next partnership, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Now David Pogue is leaving The New York Times for Yahoo.
But 13 years is a long time to stay in one place; we all thrive on new experiences. So I was intrigued when Yahoo invited me to help build a new consumer-tech site. Actually, "site" doesn't even cover it. I'll be writing columns and blog posts each week, of course, and making my goofy videos. But my team and I have much bigger plans, too, for all kinds of online and real-world creations.

Spotlight Team Best Practices: Object placement and physics
On the Spotlight Team, we work with the most ambitious Unity developers to try to push the boundary of what a Unity game can be. We see all sorts of innovative and brilliant solutions for complex graphics, performance, and design problems. We also see the same set of issues and solutions coming up again and again.
This blog series looks at some of the most frequent problems we encounter while working with our clients. These are lessons hard won by the teams we have worked with, and we are proud to be able to share their wisdom with all our users.
Many of these problems only become obvious once you are working on a console or a phone, or are dealing with huge amounts of game content. If you take these lessons into consideration earlier in the development cycle, you can make your life easier and your game much more ambitious.
Putting that thing where you want it
Despite being one of the most common things done in Unity, we see lots of teams struggling with the best way to move an object around. Specifically, it can be tricky to get objects to line up perfectly so that characters stay in the world, paths get built properly, and physics objects rest nicely on each other.
Unity provides quite a few tools to make this easier, but they all can serve different roles. These tools are necessary to understand once you start trying to make lots of consistent content or try to make scenes like the one above that are dense with dynamic physics objects.
The right Gizmo for the job
We provide tools for Translation, Rotation, Scaling and, new in 2017.3, a universal tool that will let you do all three. Each of these Gizmos lets you alter the transform properties of your game object in 3D. Additionally we have the Rect Transform tool for working in 2D.
All of these Gizmos operate based on the mode toggles that follow them. If you have your Gizmos set to Center, you will be working with the calculated middle of the object based on its bounds. This is an approximation, so may feel a bit off of true center for complicated objects. When your Gizmos are set to Pivot, you are operating on the (0,0,0) point of the object in its own frame of reference. This Pivot, hopefully, is set at a useful point by whomever created the asset in the first place. In general, we recommend operating in Pivot mode when placing objects relative to each other and keeping the Pivot location in mind when creating your assets. The second toggle, Global / Local, controls what space you are operating in. Global sets your gizmos to align with the world (x,y,z) axes, while Local sets them to the object's own (x,y,z). Personally, I mostly work in Local space. If I am trying to get multiple objects to align to each other, however, then I will often work in Global coordinates and use the grid snapping to get things to line up nicely.
The most straight forward positioning tool in Unity is holding the CTRL (Win) or Command (OSX) key to snap to a grid. Any time you are moving an object by its Axis handles (those blue red and green gizmos), holding down the snapping key will cause the object to move in increments of your current grid size… which you can change!
The Snap Settings menu lets you set per axis values for your grid size, gives you control of snapping for both rotation and scale, and lets you round a selected object's current transform to the nearest grid line.
The Snap All Axes button is particularly useful for getting arbitrary content lined up. You can select a group of objects, snap them to the grid in all axes, and then reposition them so they line up perfectly. Like so:
This works well for regular geometry, large scale level layout, and putting in blocks of collision. If you have more complicated placement needs however…
Vertex Snapping
Press and hold V and the Transform Gizmo will switch to vertex snapping mode, as indicated by the little square. You can then click on a vertex of your selected object's mesh, and then drag it to snap to any vertex under your pointer. This is very useful for aligning arbitrary meshes, especially those with complex or non-existent collision. Neither the wire or the lamp above have anything like a tight collision mesh, and neither are even vaguely cube-like, so they don't fit together with grid snapping or collision snapping.
You can also turn on Vertex snapping mode if you are going to be placing a lot of Game Objects this way. Hit Ctrl+Shift+V to turn on and Ctrl+V to turn back off. This lets you vertex snap a lot of objects without holding down the V key the whole time.
Collision Snapping
If you hold down CTRL + SHIFT, you enable Collision snapping. You have to then click and drag on the little yellowish square at the center of the Transform Gizmo, rather than using the axis controls. This will then cause the selected object to try to line its collision up with the collision of whatever is under the cursor.
Lining up meshes with vertex snapping or grid snapping works great for static geometry, but if you have dynamic objects, objects that might, say, interpenetrate and launch themselves into space when touched, you really want to snap not to the visible mesh but to the collider around it.
Collision Settling
If you have lots of dynamic physics objects, or very complicated joint system, it might not be feasible to use collision snapping to get everything where physics says it should be. Fortunately, we now allow you to run PhysX in the editor. This lets you simulate a few seconds of game time, let your physics come to a rest, and then save out the resulting positions.
You can find the heavily commented example code complete with debug drawing and a menu item here. Just throw that file into any "Editor" folder in your project and you should get a new GameMenu->Settle Physics menu item.
Knowing when and why to use grids, vertex snapping, collision snapping in your level design workflow will come with experience. Play around with these tools, along with the Pivot vs Center and Global vs Local toggles until you find what works for you. The less time you have to spend arranging your virtual furniture, the more time you can spend finding the fun. Big thanks to Campo Santo for letting us use their assets for our examples.

To anyone struggling with Unity's gizmo especially when placing colliders, I am currently developing a plugin for Unity, that intoduces blender's gizmo into the Unity's editor. It basically allows you to positions objects and collisions at least three to five time faster than with the standard Unity tools. Everything the author talked about in this post (local space / global space, pivot / custom pivot, vertex snapping) is present, but it is augmented with things like the ability to only move/rotate/scale (and vertex snap) the object on X axis (global/local) and around a custom 3d cursor/pivot. Did you know you can vertex snap when rotating objects? And when scaling? And that it's super useful (esp. with colliders)? With my plugin you can!
The plugin is ready and I will soon post a video on my YouTube channel about it: https://www.youtube.com/user/cubrman/videos?view=0&sort=dd&view_as=subscriber&shelf_id=0 or you can just watch any blender video to get an idea of how their gizmo works.
If you want to try a beta version of the plugin, contact me at cubrman [at] gmail [dot] com

the physics settler is simple yet great & has many useful tips & tricks to use, Thx for sharing
I am sorry but this is not a "best practice" post, there is only one way to use the tool therefore is a tutorial.
Could you please keep this series of posts focused on more advanced topics?
William Armstrongjaneiro 4, 2018 às 8:04 pm
Thank you for your feedback. This post is, certainly, mostly tutorial and information sharing in nature.
Make sure to take a look at the Physics Settler example code, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a-aHTP_c2vNk0VBLHbYqVNwIxCZIHjof/view?usp=sharing . I see many users struggling with the best way to hook their own code into the Editor update loop. If this is basic information for you, you have been paying very close attention here, so keep up the good work.
That Collision Settling script is pure gold :D Thank you for it!
Earlier Spotlights ended with two cliffhangers:
"We will be back next time with lessons learned working with Realtime Global Illumination and multi-scene editing."
"Our next blog will be a little bit different. We will be sharing several small editor tools written in-house that will hopefully improve your productivity and show you how to customize Unity yourself."
Are those posts still in works, or did I miss something?
Cool deal. Why not use the same key to toggle the vert snap mode on and off? Why use a key that's already used for "paste"? Or is that Ctrl on mac and Alt on windows?
William Armstrongjaneiro 4, 2018 às 7:57 pm
Turns out you can just hit V to toggle off and Shift+V to toggle on. I have been stressing my little finger out for no reason!

Thanks for the excellent post.
Would the new Physx Editor support allow you to pre-settle cloth objects?
Several years (and Unity versions) ago, I attempted to write my own tool that would do this. I got the cloth to simulate successfully in Editor, and the resulting settled cloth states to save as part of the scene. But the tension values for the cloth vertices were never successfully saved. As a result, the cloth wouldn't behave correctly at runtime. The cloth would always sag a bit more when the game started.
Since then, there's been a new Physx version, and all the Unity cloth code has been written, I believe. Maybe things are different now!
So, would the physics settling example at the bottom of this post also allow you to settle and save cloth the same as Rigidbodies?
Thanks for any info.
William Armstrongjaneiro 4, 2018 às 7:59 pm
Cloth is updated separately from the new Physics.Simulate call. This solution won't work for Cloth pre-settling. I will ask our Physics team about best practices there. Thanks for the question!

The January-March 2013 issue of The Ottawa Genealogist has just been released, and I received my copy the other day.
Here are some articles of interest –
Sarah Belding/Beldin/Belden (alais Belvin or Dekdubsa) wife of Benjamin Burt is an article byEditor Ed Kipp, and these people are his 6th Great-Grandparents.
And Early Bytown (Ottawa) Settlers Index by Jim Stanzell in which he, in this issue, features surnames the start with "C".
There is an Information column where it says, for example, that James Cuthertson "Work. Rideau Canal", Patrick Costello has the information that says that he has a "brother in Ireland", and William Calder is "age 30". This could prove very helpful in your research. It is almost like reading a city directory of sorts, and it is fully sourced!
It pays to go through the two pages of Branch Library Additions on pages 42 and 43 because they may have some books in the library that may interest you. They have some books that interest me, and the next time that I am down to the Ottawa City Archives, I am going to look them up because some of the titles interest me, and the research that I do.
The web site of the Ottawa Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society is http://ogsottawa.on.ca
Also, don't forget the Genealogy Fair that they will be having at City of Ottawa Archives on May 4, 2013.

Another year, another compromising situation where I find myself helping little girls and boys on to the flying fox at the playground. They're not my kids. They are complete strangers. It's just that my girl Mia is in line and these other little ones want a ride too.
But you know what - unlike last year, when the same thing happened to me a number of times and it made me feel wary - sinister even - I didn't give a hoot. I helped the kids up without caring what their parents - wherever the hell they were - would think.
The reason for my stand was not some sort of chest-beating male rights crusade. It was simply because finally, after four years and two kids, I feel more confident as a dad.
That might sound a little grand to some but like many blokes, I had to learn to be a dad. Yes, some things, like playing with my girls and giving them lots of hugs and kisses, came naturally.
But then there are the more difficult matters of fatherhood - things like dealing with discipline and sickness to dressing them and packing the nappy bag. Honestly, there is an art to the latter because if you forget something and disaster strikes while you're out then it can get messy. And my eldest Mia ended up wearing some horrendous ensembles of mismatched outfits and clashing colours because of me.
Of course, the first thing you have to do to be a dad is grow up and relinquish your glory days. The early morning starts and being slaves to your kids every whim helps with that.
But then the hard work really starts - and I don't mean enduring sleep deprived nights changing nappies and trying to get them to sleep.
I mean things like getting them to do what you want while still treating them like human beings. These days, with a mix of persuasion, cunning, bribery and knowing when to let something go, I'm pretty much on top of it.
Then there's the seemingly impossible knack of keeping calm rather than loosing your rag when they are whining and moaning and generally being a real pain in the bum. Okay, so I have lapses where I have to take myself off to Time Out to calm down - but generally, I'm a cool cucumber.
One thing I found extra hard when I was looking after Mia during the day by myself was keeping up a solid routine with feeding, sleeps and the like. It seems simple but it relies on you keeping an eye on the clock and quite often I didn't. Typical male.
But hey, previous to having kids, about as routine as I got was getting up in the morning and putting the coffee on the stove.
Also these days I even trust myself to decide which cream is best to treat nappy rash and when to dish out a dose of Pamol. My wife loves this more decisive me because there are less - quite often self explanatory and mundane - questions directed at her.
And after work, because I'm always at home first, you should see me in action cooking dinner. The pots are bubbling away on the stove, the meat sizzling in the oven, and at the same time I am feeding nine month old Katie whose grizzling in the high chair because she hates being restrained and she'd rather have her milk but she's not going to get it until 6.30pm because she needs to start eating a lot more real food than she is. So just eat up your broccoli, kumara and chicken mash my darling.
Phew. I tell ya, I am DAD, hear me roar.

Mr. A. F. Ferguson, a Chartered Accountant of Scotland, came to Bombay in 1889 as chief accountant in the merchant firm of Ritchie Stewart & Co., [later to become Forbes Forbes Campbell & Co. (Private) Limited]. In 1893 he started to practice and was the first British Chartered Accountant to do so in this part of the world. Mr. P.G. Irvine, previously an assistant became a partner in 1898 and the name of the firm was changed to 'Ferguson & Irvine'. In 1902, owing to the ill-health of Mr. Irvine, this partnership was dissolved and the firm became 'A. F. Ferguson & Co.', with Mr. A. F. Ferguson and Mr. W. Turner Green as partners. The firm prospered in Bombay and in 1908 an office was opened in Karachi. Mr. A. F. Ferguson returned to the United Kingdom in 1912 and commenced practice in London.
The Karachi office was opened on March 20, 1908. The office was in a small room, part of the Latham & Co.'s office on Bunder Road (now M. A. Jinnah Road), near the Merewether Tower.
The firm operated in the Persian Gulf between 1910 and 1924 and for some years a branch office was also maintained there.
The Lahore office was opened in 1926 when the firm of Niessen Dignasse & Co., was acquired. Later, a small office was established in Rawalpindi, which at that time was known as a sub-branch of the Lahore office.
In August 1947 the Indian sub-continent was partitioned and Pakistan was founded.
The Pakistan firm was formed on November 1, 1952 by a deed, signed and stamped in Pakistan at Karachi, and took over the practice previously carried on by the Karachi and Lahore branches of the Indian firm whose head office was in Bombay. There was a complete severance from the old Indian firm which continued to practice in India under the same name.
The Rawalpindi branch was upgraded to an independent office in November 1952 and an office was also opened at Islamabad in late 1992. The Rawalpindi office was transferred to Islamabad in early 1993.

On April 15, 2013, one year ago, two Muslim extremists planted bombs at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring 264 others. This tragic event was sadly exploited by some in the media who quickly speculated that "extreme right" and "anti-government" individuals could be responsible for the mayhem. [See below for a round-up, including video, of the worst examples of journalistic malpractice.]
The morning after the attack, Good Morning America's Pierre Thomas narrated a segment with an on-screen graphic wondering, "Could this be homegrown terror?" Thomas noted that April 15th was only four days before the anniversaries of the bloody end of the Branch Davidian standoff and the Oklahoma City bombing. Regarding the date the attack occurred, GMAguest Mark Potok linked, "The real Patriots Day is April 19th. That is the date that counts for people on the extreme right in the United States." [MP3 audio here.]
Chris Matthews, on the day of the bombing, sneered:
"Normally, domestic terrorists, people, tend to be on the far right — well, that's not a good category, just extremists, let's call them that. Do they advertise after they do something like this? Do they try to get credit as a group, or do they just hate America so much or its politics or its government that they just want to do the damage?...Would you as an expert be thinking domestic at this point? I don't think Tax Day means a whole lot to the Arab world, or Islamic world, or the — certainly not to al Qaeda, in terms of their world. It doesn't have any iconic significance."
— Hardball host Chris Matthews on April 15, 2013, asking terrorism expert Michael Leiter about potential suspects in the Boston marathon bombings.
While warning others not to jump to conclusions, some journalists did just that:
"Obviously, nobody knows anything yet, but I would caution folks jumping to conclusions about foreign terrorism to remember that this is the official Patriots Day holiday in Massachusetts, celebrating the battles at Lexington and Concord, and that the actual date (April 19) was of some significance to, among other people, Tim McVeigh, because he fancied himself a waterer of the tree of liberty and the like."
— Former Boston Globe reporter Charles Pierce writing on Esquire's politics blog at 3:22pm April 15, 2013, barely half an hour after the bombings occurred.
"The thinking, as we've been reporting, is that this is a domestic extremist attack. And officials are leaning that way largely because of the timing of the attack. April is a big month for anti-government and right-wing individuals. There's the Columbine anniversary. There's Hitler's birthday. There's the Oklahoma City bombing. There's the assault on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco."
— NPR correspondent Dina Temple-Raston on All Things Considered, April 16, 2013.
Other examples include:
"But the fact that there were two explosions – two bombings – one of the things I'd be looking at is once the device, if it is a device, is found, what kind of explosives were used? For instance, if it was hydrogen peroxide, this is a signature of al-Qaeda. If it was more conventional explosives, which are much harder to get a hold of now, that might be some other kind of right-wing extremists."
– CNN's national security analyst Peter Bergen just hours after the Boston bombing, April 15, 2013.
"Let's Hope the Boston Marathon Bomber Is a White American"
— Headline over an April 16, 2013 Salon.com article by writer David Sirota.
"explosion is a reminder that ATF needs a director. Shame on Senate Republicans for blocking apptment."
— New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof in an April 15, 2013 Twitter posting about an hour after the bombing. About 30 minutes later, Kristof apologized: "ok, that was low blow. i take it back." (All punctuation as in the original.)
(For more, see the April 29, 2013 edition of the Notable Quotables.) Apparently, some in the media didn't listen to former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw. Appearing on the Today show the morning after the attack, he cautioned, "I think everybody has to take a deep breath...report what we know, and do the best we can with the information that we're able to get reliably."
Brokaw's MSNBC colleagues clearly didn't get the message. The hosts of The Cycle on April 16, 2013 brought on author Adam Lankford to recklessly speculate, "We don't know whether they're trying to complain about abortion, about taxes. This did happen on tax day in Boston, the place of the Tea Party."
If, God forbid, America faces another tragic event like the Boston bombing, it would be nice if some journalists could refrain from reflexively blaming conservatives.

about me:
I'm a technician in the gaming industry, working for a local arcade. I have a background in electronics, a passion for free software , and want to learn more about programming.
More about my projects:
1) Marquee's (nl:lichtkranten)
i've got 3 of those lying around and i had quite a lot of fun studying there internals and finding out how they function and how they could be hacked. However, since my programming skills are not very well-developed (read: hello_world++) i'm sure my fellow voidwarrantiers could get more out of these.
in honour of disney's christmas classic "Pluto's Christmas Tree" i gave our loyal subjects name's accordingly :
chip: unknown brand; small, 17 7x5 led modules (total:7x85) driven by 11 tpic6b595n 8bit shift registers. Logic on mainboard: siemens sab 8051a-p microcontroller and m27256fi eprom.
dale: unknown brand; small,
pluto: bigger, known brand, little documentation. This is the device Koert en Jeffrey want to turn in to the "Marquetris"
2) routers and modems
love'm , there cheap and full of promise ... opening them up , googeling datasheets for parts, running nmap, trying to analyze the firmware , searching for serial ports or Jtag-interfaces, exploring the possibility of running linux or bsd on them, trying to find out what the missing parts on the pcb are (95% or more have blank parts on the PCB) it just goes on and on ...
<20€ router= partybox
3) a non-project
i also have a elo touch screen (serial port only, no usb). However once i bought it, and found out it does indeed work, i failed to find a usefull or amusing project. Update: Is now used in "Barputer"

This week marks the 1-year anniversary for the release of the Informix Warehouse Accelerator (IWA). This blog entry takes a look at what we have accomplished and what we look forward to.
First of all, for those not yet familiar with the IWA product, it is an Accelerator designed specifically for data warehousing or analytics queries, that runs transparently behind an Informix Dynamic Server. Users submit their queries either through SQL directly or via their favorite BI tool, such as Cognos, Microstrategy or Pentaho. IDS then routes the query to the accelerator based on a defined data mart schema and returns the answer to the user as if the query was answered directly by IDS. The only difference is that the performance of such queries may be 10 times to 100 times faster than before. Queries that used to run in many minutes or even hours can be returned in mere seconds. This is all done without special tuning, adding of indexes or data cubes. It is ideally suited for Informix customers who may have standard OLTP transactions on IDS, while also needing to run analytic queries either on the same system or different systems. The Accelerator runs on commodity Intel hardware that has hundreds of gigs of DRAM at a very affordable price (e.g. less than $100K).
As the primary measure of "success" with any product, especially a new product within IBM/Information Management/Informix, the revenue received has been more than respectable, certainly measured in terms of millions. (I am not at liberty to reveal the exact numbers). We have a number of customers across different geographies and across different industries, including retail, insurance, hospitality, public sector and Energy & Utilities. More importantly, we have partners that have built their own offerings on top of the IWA product and have successfully closed business on their own. Informix has always been a partner-centric and partner-friendly product, and IWA is no different, especially for SMB customers where low cost is of utmost importance. Through a number of workshops and bootcamps around the world, we have pursued an aggressive schedule in enabling our partners and this will continue throughout 2012.
Everyone in the market these days seems to claim that they can do analytics fast. If you include Columnar database offerings, you have upwards of 10 to 20 products competing in this space. One that has received most publicity is HANA from SAP, which shares many of the features and characteristics of IWA. This is a good thing for us. By raising awareness of the capabilities of an in-memory database specifically designed for data warehousing in the industry, customers will further investigate the differences between IWA and HANA.
We already have competitive numbers (based on real customer PoC's) against other vendors including Teradata, SQL Server and columnar database vendors such as Greenplum and Ingres VectorWise. I am happy to report that we stand up well against them both in terms of performance and in overall cost of ownership. So we welcome such comparisons.
Since our release a year ago, we have added some significant features. They are listed here with brief descriptions:
- Workload Analysis Tool
Takes the guesswork out of the data mart schema needed to deploy IWA on. You simply run your standard set of queries through the tool and it generates the schema in XML format which can then be used to load data into IWA.
- Data Currency
While an IDUG study shows that 90% of data warehouses are only updated once a day, customers who need more frequent refreshes of the entire warehouse can maintain a 2nd copy of data (in compressed form). By toggling between the two copies, one can achieve high data currency and still attain the great performance provided by IWA.
- Cluster Support
IWA can run on a standard SMP machine or on a cluster that is typical with a Blade Server configuration. Here, IWA has access to even more cores and memory across different nodes as opposed to a single node system. IWA efficiently partitions the fact table data while replicating the dimension tables for optimal performance. The number of coordinator and worker processes can be scaled up accordingly.
- Partition Refresh
In the upcoming release of 11.70xC5, we are adding two significant features to IWA. While the current version of IWA requires a complete reload of data when data is refreshed on the host (i.e. IDS), the partition refresh feature now allows users to selectively update one or more partitions. For example, if you have a terabyte size data warehouse already loaded in IWA and updates were made to 10 gigs of data in certain partitions, you can choose to only reload the 10 gigs of changed data. Thee load time for such a refresh is then greatly reduced. In other competitive systems, this is often referred to as Incremental Update or Trickle Feed.
- Loading IWA from Mach11 Secondaries
Taking advantage of the Mach11 capabilities in IDS, one can deploy IWA in a mixed-workload environment by dedicating the primary node for OLTP transactions and having a Mach11 secondary handle the analytic queries. The secondary can be a HDR, a RSS or a SDS node. This secondary node can now handle the loading of data into IWA and can also host the IDS optimizer which determines whether to route a particular query to IWA. The ability to run mixed-workload effectively in a single system is one of the "holy-grails" of database management.
Looking Forward
Our goal is to continue to build a base around our Informix customers with analytics needs. We also want to reach beyond the current base into the so-called "white-space". While there are other overlapping products within IBM's Information Management portfolio, we believe that the state-of-the-art in-memory technology in IWA together with the strong OLTP capabilities within IDS, provides a unique offering at a price point that is second to none.

Hayden was wrong in saying subcontinental players are selfish. His intent was to say Indian players are selfish. That is why they don't measure up to Ultra hungry Australians.
Also he forgot to say Indians are chokers. hahaha!.
I told you before asia cup that indian teams lacks mental discipiline. They choke when teams needs them to play. They are like a sheep. If one gets out , everyone follow the pavillion.
Part of the the problem i believe is due to politics in Indian Team.
If a great player like Tendulkar gets out , every one throw the wicket as the blame will be always on great players.
It is astonishing to see these young indian players does see the oppurtunity put their own stamp. I saw kaif and yuvaraj flops one after another every game in Asia cup.
They played well in NATWEST trophy , may be that was due to luck or English bowlers plain sucked.
Here is the problem , How much longer you wait for these yuvaraj/kaif to show their potential?. If i were indian selectors , i will drop them.
Ganguly's batting really sucks but Indian team has no other captain. I do not think dravid can handle the pressure of captaincy. His batting will be affected just like ganguly's.
My main concern is Tendulkar. He is really sucks nowadays. He is out of form in FINALS as always. Hahaha.
I can't believe someone says tendulkar is better than LARA. Lara has won many many matches for west indies , Tendulkar yet to win one. All i see him is accumulate runs agains weak teams , so that his stat looks good. He is most selfish dude in INDIAN TEAM.
Telling it like it is.

Team Fortress 2 Engineer Update Looming; Golden Wrench Weapon Discovered
PC Gamer located a thread on the Steam forums where users found some interesting source code hidden in the seemingly harmless update. The code alludes to a Golden Wrench. Furthermore, an image was found with some jumbled text. Manipulating the image yielded a hidden wrench and URL in the picture. The website at that URL was used to decrypt the text to read: "Clearly this is more space than needed. I wonder what else was here."
Why wait around for Valve to actually update the game? Players have used the new source code to unlock the Golden Wrench in game. A video of it in action can be found below.
Valve has also posted a new comic that could provide clues for possible Engineer Update weapons and items.
It is uncertain at this point if this is a real weapon for the Engineer, the only class still awaiting its free update with new achievements, weapons, and items. It sure would be swell if Valve dropped this update today so all the Engineers out there could get going on the unlocks over the long, holiday weekend.
The new comic is pure gold, I mean Australium.

Jury selection began in Los Angeles Tuesday for the trial of a lawsuit over the beating of San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium after the March 2011 opening day game between the rival teams.
Stow watched from a wheelchair Tuesday as prospective jurors were instructed to fill out questionnaires. The paramedic from Santa Cruz, California, suffered disabling brain damage in the beating, for which two men pleaded guilty to criminal charges earlier this year.
- Bryan Stow Case: Investigation Into Assault at Dodger Stadium
Stow was joined by his caregiver, relatives and children and stayed for the court session.
U.S. & World
"This is a major damage case, and I wanted the jury just to have a glimpse of him. That's all. He's not going to sit through this trial," Stow's attorney Tom Girardi said. "On the other hand, to see this young vibrant person who lived his life helping people as a paramedic, now all of the sudden he can't get out of the wheelchair by himself."
"So this wasn't a big sympathy play or anything like that, but the jury has to understand what this whole case is all about," Girardi said.
In a separate criminal proceeding, two Rialto men, Louis Sanchez and Brian Norwood, have already pleaded guilty to charages stemming from the attack.
The civil liability and negligence suit seeks millions of dollars in damages from the then ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers under Frank McCourt.
- Timeline: Investigation in Bryan Stow Case
Lawyers have estimated that medical expenses and lifetime care for Stow, a father of two, could cost tens of millions of dollars.
Attorneys for both sides spoke to the pool of 100 prospective jurors before they were handed the six-page questionnaire to fill out in the courtroom. Issues ranged from personal experiences at Dodger Stadium to familiarity with traumatic brain injury.
The suit contends that the Dodgers were negligent in not providing adequadate security measures.
McCourt attorney Dana Fox told prospective jurors the Stadium had an unprecedented level of security for opening day, and contended responsibility lies with the two convicted perpetrators and, in part, with Stow himself.
Evidence to be presented will show that at the hospital, Stow's blood alcohol was measured at 0.149, and would have been between 0.16 and 0.20 at the time of the altercation, two to two and a half times the legal limit for driving, Fox told the prospective jurors. He also said that five minutes after an initial confrontation in the parking lot, as Stow and his friends were walking away from Sanchez and Norwood, Stow turned and raised his arms, and Sanchez came after him.
Girardi contends Sanchez should have been removed from the stadium long before the end of the game.
"This guy was being a jerk from the second inning, threatening people, yelling massive obscenities, throwing stuff at people, food etc., because they had Giants uniforms on," Girardi said.

Being able to point to Sanchez and Norwood is favorable for the defense, but trying to persuade jurors to attribute fault to Stow will be risky, in the view of attorney Louis Shapiro, who is not involved in the case, but was asked by NBC4 for his analysis.
"It's going to be a very difficult hurdle for the jury because there is so much emotion involved in a man that has about $50 million worth of medical damages," legal analyst Louis Shapiro said.
Both Sanchez and Norwood pleaded guilty in February and accepted plea deals in the Dodger Stadium attack.
Sanchez, 31, pleaded guilty to a felony count of mayhem and was sentenced to eight years in prison. Norwood, 32, pleaded guilty to assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and was sentenced to four years behind bars.
As part of the plea agreement, all other charges against the men were dropped. Both men had originally been charged with mayhem, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and battery with serious bodily injury.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

f\ A e e t ' [ ng' getting to know / \ / I people and their needs and I V I helping them is what I enjoy doing most," says Charlie Chewning. And this attitude is reflected in every aspect of the operation of the H&S Raleigh office, where he is partner in charge. Charlie joined the Firm's Charlotte office in December 1960 after nearly three years in the Air Force. He received a B. A. in accounting from Duke University, where he was active in the Air Force ROTC program and was the recipient of the Most Distinguished Cadet Award in his senior year. Upon graduation in 1957, Charlie decided to pursue his career with a national accounting firm in New York City because, he recalls, "1 thought it was the best place to go to get the most diversified training in the profession." After nearly a year in New York, Charlie was called to active duty as an officer in the Air Force in which he served as a navigator on air refueling tankers in the Strategic Air Command. "I enjoyed the opportunities for travel and the responsibility for making decisions that the Air Force gave me," he says. "I was assigned to bases in San Antonio and Waco, Texas and in Shreveport, Louisiana and flew numerous missions across the United States and to Newfoundland and Labrador, where I also had temporary duty assignments." In 1960 Charlie opted for an early release from the Air Force to return to public accounting in New York. "I considered making the military a career at one time," he recalls, "but realized that I had not explored public accounting fully and that my real interest was in becoming a certified public accountant and working with people in a number of different industries and situations." Although Charlie intended to return to New York, after several weeks of vacation and visiting with friends and family in North Carolina, he and his wife Ruth decided they would settle in North Carolina and that Charlie would take a position with a bank or a public accounting firm. "I started interviews with national accounting firms in 1960 by visiting several with offices in North Carolina. As was the case in 1957 during campus interviews at Duke, I was most impressed with the H&S people I met in Charlotte and with the large and diversified clientele of the H&S Charlotte office," he said. Accepting the offer to join the H&S Charlotte professional staff "was an easy decision and one which has been most satisfying because of the many opportunities to work with outstanding clients and for me and my family to make many new friends," Charlie recalls. "In 19601 felt that H&S was the best CPA firm and now I am convinced that it is. Our professional attitude, the quality of our personnel and their constructive approach to service make the difference." Charlie remembers well his first assignments for H&S in Charlotte. "It was a quick return to public accounting. I was surprised and pleased to be put in charge of several audits after only a few months with the Firm," he said, "and will always be grateful to Don Williams, now office manager in Charlotte, for the help he gave me on my first in-charge assignment." While in Charlotte, Charlie gained varied experience in auditing financial institutions, textile producers, utilities, insurance companies, retail operations, and different types of manufacturing and service companies. He was in charge of a number of special, acquisition and first audits. Charlie was appointed manager in 1967 and assumed increased responsibility for our savings and loan practice in Charlotte. Later that year he became the manager responsible for five new S&L clients. In 1969 and again in 1970, Charlie served as co-administrator of the Firm's Executive Office Report Review program in New York City. Under the program, part of the Firm's overall quality control effort, partners and managers from throughout the Firm review reports issued by our offices. "My work on the program gave me a strong appreciation of our national practice and of the high quality of our work, as well as experience with financial statements and reporting practices in all segments of our economy," he said. In early 1970, Bill Stewart, then partner in charge of the Charlotte office, asked Charlie if he would take charge of opening another H&S office in the Carolinas. "Starting a Raleigh office," Charlie explains, "was part of an operating plan formulated in the early 1960s to increase the number of H&S offices in the Carolinas. The objective was to establish full-service offices in locations near our clients so we could be more responsive to their needs while at the same time reducing travel by our accountants. We now have seven H&S offices in the Carolinas, more than any other national accounting firm. "Our primary objective in opening the Raleigh office was to provide our

Could the smell of rosemary enhance your time on a crossword puzzle? It's possible, according to a new study.
Researchers noted the surprising appearance of a component of rosemary oil in the bloodstream, leading to new ideas about how rosemary aroma can be used therapeutically. The results will be published in Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology, a journal published by SAGE Publications.
Rosemary has a long history as a traditional remedy with such widespread uses as a hair rinse and a cat repellent. When steamed, some say it can treat bronchitis and other forms of congestion, while the link between rosemary and improved cognitive function has long been established.
Dr. Mark Moss, who devised and wrote the study, was interested in rosemary's fragrant aroma, which has long been cherished by chefs and bakers. Could the 1,8-cineole, a constituent part of rosemary oil, be detected in the bloodstream after exposure to just the aroma?
"We were not surprised by the improvement in cognitive performance following exposure to rosemary aroma as this has been demonstrated previously," Moss wrote in an e-mail. "What excited us was the demonstration that performance was linked to plasma levels of 1,8-cineole following exposure."
In the study, a cohort of 20 subjects were exposed to varying levels of the aroma, then given a battery of cognitive tests and mood assessments. Not surprisingly, the cognitive performance of the subjects increased, with a corresponding mood increase of lesser magnitude. However, the real surprise came when the blood tests were processed.
The results showed absorption of 1,8-coneole into the bloodstream, meaning the natural compound was absorbed through the nose and into the blood plasma. For Moss, this means there is a more traditional biochemical explanation for the increased cognitive performances previously demonstrated.
"This compound is present in rosemary but has not previously been demonstrated to be absorbed into blood plasma in humans," Moss added. "It is our view that the aroma therefore acts like a therapeutic drug, rather than any effects being a result of the more sensory properties of the aroma."
Moss reminds that it's easy to forget how many of our therapeutic drugs are the result of plant science. His team will continue to investigate the therapeutic benefits of several common plants, including peppermint and lavender. An upcoming study with rosemary will aim to determine whether 1,8-cineole, when ingested orally, can survive the rigors of the gastrointestinal system to be similarly absorbed into the bloodstream.
The potential benefits of the research are extremely wide-ranging.
"Plants are very complex organisms and contain many different active compounds and these vary in concentration from plant to plant and even within the same plant over the course of a day," Moss notes. "The accumulation of knowledge regarding possible impacts of plant aromas and extracts could potentially lead to an identification of the best combination to promote specific effects."
"At its grandest conclusion might be the development of plant-based drugs that might extend mental capacity into old age through pharmacological challenge to decline," Moss concludes.

...the main content and mission of the volume is presented as a set of comprehensive experimental protocols that are easy to follow and logically discussed in great detail. The strength of the book is in these detailed protocols, which are written by the scientists who established them. The development of new systems often requires extensive modifications to protocols that are routinely used for established model systems. These experimental insights are often nonintuitive and gained by extensive trial and error....This is a good reference volume for the library shelf that should be consulted by scientists interested in expanding out of established model systems...

White Dee becomes 'Duchess' for CBB
Benefits Street's White Dee was transformed into the Duchess of Solihull tonight as she became the first contestant to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Former boxing promoter Kellie Maloney and ex-Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan were also among the new line-up of 14 people taking part in the Channel 5 show as it kicked off once again.
Others to have a stint in the house are boxing champ Audley Harrison, Edele Lynch who found fame in the Irish girl group B*Witched and the fiance of Kelly Brook, muscle-bound David McIntosh, who had a TV career as Tornado in the Sky1 revival of Gladiators.
Deirdre Kelly, better known as Benefits Street's White Dee, is taking part in the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother (Channel 5/PA)
Also taking part are Hollywood star Gary Busey, whose film roles include Point Break, veteran actor Leslie Jordan, who had a recurring role in sitcom Will And Grace, and Angelique ''Frenchy'' Morgan, who has appeared in a number of US reality shows.
Dee, real name Deirdre Kelly, rose to notoriety in the Channel 4 documentary series Benefits Street.
She was booed by the crowd as she entered the house, and revealed she felt "very nervous, very apprehensive".
The single mother was given a shock when she given the first task of the new series - to live like a royal for 24 hours.
Big Brother told her: "You will become Dee, the Duchess of Solihull, 21st in line to the throne."
Dee replied sarcastically: "That sounds absolutely amazing."
She added: "I hate it when people use my real name. I think I'm in trouble."
The former Birmingham City Council employee will have to "walk, talk, behave and wave like a royal".
If she can convince Busey, Jordan and Frenchy that she is a duchess then the housemates will dine on champagne and caviar, but if she fails they will live like paupers.
The odds appeared stacked against her until it was revealed that she will be given a makeover.
Maloney - who is favourite to win the show, according to bookmaker William Hill at 2/1 - had success handling the career of Lennox Lewis among others, but withdrew from the sport last year.
It emerged earlier this month that she has been undergoing hormone therapy and now lives as a woman.
Wearing a black dress, pearl necklace and high heels, she said she was "terrified" as she was about to enter the show.
She later revealed that she had never appeared in public wearing that kind of outfit, and admitted: "I nearly pulled out at the last minute."
Maloney was quizzed about the gender change inside the house by Harrison, who dazzled in a bright red suit.
He was stunned when he first saw Maloney, and exclaimed: "F****** hell! Have I got to call you Kellie?"
Maloney quipped: "Yes if you want to get paid for your next fight!"
Harrison went on: "Hats off to you man... go hard or go home."
Dancer Jordan left Strictly this year, although his wife Ola continues to be a part of the BBC1 series which returns next month.
Jordan, who was the second celebrity to enter the house and wore a flat cap, jacket and waistcoat, denied that he would be the bad boy of the show.
"I'm sure there's going to be a lot worse than me about, I'm just a little dancer," he said. "Don't get me wrong, I'm sure I'll hold my own."
He added that "stupidity" gets under his skin.
Ex-Emmerdale actress Claire King, known for her role as Kim Tate, is also on the show.
She said: "I am a grumpy old woman, but I'm a very funny grumpy old woman.
"I'm going to throw myself into it and really enjoy it."
McIntosh told host Emma Willis: "You've got to put a show on."
There have been reports of pre-launch upsets, with some of the contestants unhappy that other housemates are being given higher fees to take part.
The series features an array of wannabes who have featured in reality TV shows: Stephanie Pratt from reality shows The Hills and Made In Chelsea, Lauren Goodger who has featured in ITV2's The Only Way Is Essex and Ricci Guarnaccio from Geordie Shore.
The list is completed by George Gilbey from Channel 4's Gogglebox.
Celebrity Big Brother is now in its 14th series, with the most recent run earlier this year seeing comedian Jim Davidson victorious.
Tonight's launch came just three days after the most recent run of the normal Big Brother came to a close.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

A new Zogby Interactive poll, conducted using volunteers over the internet, has produced some odd results for trial heats involving Senator Clinton against all four top Republican opponents. What makes this especially odd is that the results are not equally unusual for Obama.
This poll was reported by Reuters' John Whitesides, who also reports on the Reuters sponsored polling Zogby does by conventional telephone methods. The similarities in the reports make it hard to tell, but apparently these results are not part of the Reuters-Zogby polling partnership, but are independent work by Zogby Interactive. Likewise Zogby's website posts the results without mention of who sponsored the work, so presumably Reuters did not.
The Zogby poll was conducted 11/21-26/07 with 9150 respondents who had agreed to take part in Zogby's online polling. This is not a normal random sample of the population. More on the technical issues below.
The hugely surprising result is that the Zogby poll finds Sen. Hillary Clinton losing to all four top Republicans in head-to-head trial heats. What makes that surprising is that Clinton LEADS all four of those Republicans in the trend estimates based on all other polling by between 3.8 and 11.6 points. Zogby also has Clinton losing to Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee by 5 points. There are too few Clinton-Huckabee trial heat polls from other organizations for me to compute a trend estimate for that comparison.
The chart above shows all the trial heat data from national polling and the estimated trend lines for each pairing. The data points for the new Zogby data are indicated in the charts as "Zogby Inet" in blue for Clinton and red for each Republican.
What is immediately clear is that the Zogby Clinton numbers are well below the estimated trend for Clinton in each of the four comparisons. Clinton is consistently 8-10 points below her trend estimate based on other polling.
In contrast, the Republican results are quite close to the trend estimate in most cases: Giuliani is at 43 in Zogby, with a trend of 44. Romney is 43 in Zogby, 38.3 in trend; Thompson is 44 in Zogby, 41.3 trend, and McCain is 42 Zogby, 42.7 trend. Those Republican numbers are about the kind of normal noise we see around the trend estimate, so don't seem out of line.
Why then is Clinton so far down in comparison to other polls? The Reuters story doesn't note that these results are far from other polling, and instead uses the theme that Clinton is declining to frame these Zogby results:
While this is certainly a theme of recent reporting, boosted by a pre-Thanksgiving ABC/WP poll showing Obama leading Clinton in Iowa, it is striking that no other poll has found recent results as far from the trend estimates as are Zogby's results and that the Reuters story fails to note that fact.
The results come as other national polls show the race for the Democratic nomination tightening five weeks before the first contest in Iowa, which kicks off the state-by-state nomination battles in each party.
Some Democrats have expressed concerns about the former first lady's electability in a race against Republicans. The survey showed Clinton not performing as well as Obama and Edwards among independents and younger voters, pollster John Zogby said.
One answer to why Clinton does so badly MIGHT be that the poll has too few Democrats and thus biases its results. But if that were so, we'd expect Obama to also underperform his trend estimates. That doesn't happen, as the chart below makes clear.
The Zogby results for Obama are all quite close to his trend estimate from all polls:
Zogby has Obama at 46% vs Giuliani, while the trend puts him at 44.3. Against Romney Zogby has Obama at 46%, while trend says 46.6. Against Thompson Zogby has Obama at 47, while trend is 47.0, and against McCain Zogby has Obama at 45 while trend puts him at 43.4.
This is clearly not consistent with a general anti-Democratic bias in the Zogby Internet poll. It is also clear from the graph that the Obama pairings find Republicans doing quite close to the trend estimates as they did against Clinton.
(Trial heats against Edwards are not very common recently, so the Zogby results for him lack much polling for comparison.)
And so we are left with a puzzle: What is it about these respondents that so strongly affects Clinton support but no one else?
We can probably rule out one easy explanation: That Clinton has suddenly collapsed and Zogby is just the first to find it. The reason is internal to the Zogby result. If Clinton really has suddenly become 10 points less attractive, we'd expect all four Republicans paired against her to do BETTER than their trend estimates when facing her. But what happens is Clinton goes down and they don't do any better. That is hard to reconcile with a real change in Clinton's support. (A tortured version would say Clinton must have collapsed among Dems who now say they are undecided while refusing to move towards any of the Republicans. But that isn't usually what happens in real data when one candidate declines sharply. Usually the other moves up at least a bit, drawing not only from unhappy partisans but especially from independents who now are disenchanted with the former front-runner. So while you could make the math work with this story, it doesn't seem very well supported by the data.)
The Zogby Internet polling has a questionable track record in statewide races for Senate and Governor in 2006, where they often far over-estimated the competitiveness of races compared to conventional phone polls taken at the same time. One way to make sense of those problems turns out not to help much here. It is reasonable that the people who volunteer to take political polls over the internet are considerably more interested in politics (and likely more strongly partisan) than is a random sample of likely voters. That should be expected to lead to fewer people with "don't know" responses as better informed and more partisan respondents are likely to both know more about the candidates and to have made up their minds sooner than a proper random sample. That helps explain why Zogby's 2006 internet polls looked as they did.
But this does no good in Clinton's case. What we see is that MORE internet respondents are undecided about their vote between Clinton and four Republicans than the trend estimates based on less involved and partisan phone samples show. The Zogby undecided rates for the Clinton pairings are 20, 17, 17 and 16% (plus 17% undecided in the Huckabee comparison.) The comparable undecided rates based on the trend estimates are 8.2, 12.8, 9.0 and 10.6. That is an average undecided rate of 17.5 in Zogby vs 10.15 in the trends. Likewise the undecided rate is slightly lower for Obama pairings than it is for Clinton: 17, 13, 14, 13, and 14 for Huckabee. How could it be that a sample that is almost certainly more involved, knowledgeable and partisan can be LESS decided about Cinton, the single best known figure in the race? Again, a tortured story might be constructed, but I think a simpler explanation is that this result is not consistent within the Zogby data itself, or in comparison with outside polling.
Where does this leave us? Puzzled. If these results came from voting machines, I'd suspect that something in the ballot design or the recording mechanism caused a modest but consistent undercount of the Clinton support. The effect seems confined only to that one candidate, and not to any others, Democrats or Republicans. And there was no boost in support for the Republicans paired against Clinton. In this case, I'm similarly inclined to wonder if there is the possibility that the Zogby online survey had a glitch that caused a systematic "undervote" for Clinton. Certainly if my research assistant brought me these results, I'd want to check the software for mistakes before I published it.
Let's assume the Zogby organization has checked for any such possible mistakes or glitches and has ruled that out. (One would assume they were as surprised by the data as anyone and since their reputation is on the line, would have checked very carefully before releasing the data.) Is there any reasonable model of how candidate preferences are evolving that might explain this result, and the stability of Republicans paired against Clinton AND the stability of Obama support and that of his Republican pairings?
Without access to the raw data it is impossible to test any speculation here. But here is one possibility: Internet polls, presumably including Zogby's, use weighting to adjust for non-representativeness in their volunteer respondents. (There is a huge debate about whether this, and more sophisticated approaches, can produce generalizable population estimates with good statistical properties, but we'll leave that for another day.) Clinton has more support among women and somewhat older people. Both those groups are likely to be underrepresented in any pool of internet respondents. As a result the responses of those with these characteristics who ARE present in the sample are likely to be weighted up quite a bit to reach population proportions in the weighted sample. If the relatively few older women who are in the sample are ALSO atypical in other ways that both make them volunteer for internet surveys AND be less disposed to support Clinton than are non-internet volunteering older women, then weighting these respondents up won't properly capture Clinton's support and will lead to a systematic underestimate of her support.
That could do it, but it sounds pretty tortured to me.
I'd check the software one more time.
And based on the large outliers the Clinton results produce, I'd hold off on the Reuters headline until I saw some confirmation from other polls.
