Is OMG's hiring of Talon a defining moment for outdoor?
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 07 February 2013 08:00AM
OMG's decision to place its business with Talon could signal change in the outdoor sector, Alasdair Reid writes.
Two weeks ago, there were just three outdoor media specialists of note – Kinetic, Posterscope and Rapport – but, in reality, the market was a duopoly, dominated by the Aegis-owned Posterscope and WPP's Kinetic, each holding roughly 40 per cent of the market.
Lately, the assumption has been that these two had acquired an unbreakable hold on the market. But last week, Omnicom Media Group stunned the sector by announcing it was shifting its £140 million outdoor spend out of Posterscope and into Talon Outdoor, the previously minor outfit headed by Eric Newnham, the former Kine-tic global chief executive. OMG has also taken equity in its new partner. Could this be outdoor's milestone moment?
Colin Gottlieb, the chief executive EMEA of OMG, points out that the outdoor medium is evolving fast, and the challenge is to be well-placed to take advantage. He explains: "We are seeing some of the big high-tech firms [such as AOL, Facebook and Google] looking to pioneer multi-screen research. The question is, therefore, how this can be extended to out-of-home."
However, Glen Wilson, the managing director of Posterscope, argues that existing specialists are already well-placed to make the most of the digital revolution. He states: "We have focused on building an out-of-home proposition designed for convergence and built for speed. Last year, we created more than 100 campaigns that leveraged the out-of-home ecosystem."
Meanwhile, Nick Mawditt, Kinetic's global director of insight and marketing, welcomes increased competition, but says some observers still have an outdated view of the trading landscape. He adds: "The notion of a duopoly has never been an important part of Kinetic's USP, which is about sophisticated planning tools and understanding audiences on the move."
Roy Jeans, the chief executive of Rapport, concludes: "Outdoor is an increasingly important media channel, and large agency groups subject it to a greater focus. [The OMG move] is interesting in the context of Postar 2 research due out soon. That has already sparked a data-mining arms race and we'll continue to see people investing to make the most of the new data."

It's Elton John's 67th Birthday Today ! What's Your Favorite Elton John Song ?
Last week, I wrote about the 5 albums that I feel had the strongest influence on my music taste. The list included acts from the 60s, 70s, 90s, and 00s. I also noticed a comment by my cousin the other day, that in the 70s, "music was actually music", which lead me to think about this topic.

It was far from the full 40-minute effort that the coaches often seek, but the performance of the Sheridan Bruins men's basketball team (23-10, 13-2 OCAA) was good enough in spots to pull away from Fanshawe late, securing an 81-63 victory on Saturday at Sheridan's Davis Campus gym in Brampton.
It was the second straight win after having a nine-game win streak snapped against Algoma in overtime the weekend prior.
"We're certainly happy to get the win, but I think we still have a long way to go in order to get where we want," head coach Jim Flack said. "I thought both clubs had chances in the second half to make a move and we were just a little more fortunate than Fanshawe to get a few bounces here and there."
The Bruins had a balanced attack with five players in double figures scoring. Roshean Keen led the way with 14 points and eight rebounds. Jahmal McQueen and St. Marguerite d'Youville graduate Dylan Periana had 13 points apiece. McQueen had a team-high nine rebounds and four steals while Periana had five rebounds, five steals and four assists.
Trevor Williams had 12 points and eight steals while Kadeem Hall dropped in 10 points. Brampton Centennial grad Paul Williams had seven rebounds and three blocks in less than 14 minutes.
A trip to the Sault usually has it's obstacles, including long hours in the bus, unfamiliar gyms, and sleeping in a strange bed.
This year was no exception for the Bruins as they split a pair of games in less than 24 hours, dropping an overtime thriller to Algoma 81-78, before rebounding to beat Sault College 86-54 last weekend.
Saturday's game was an uphill battle most of the way- the Bruins trailed by deficits ranging between 4-10 all night. In fact, they were nine points behind with three minutes to go but staged a furious rally that ended when Trevor Williams drained a long three-ball as the buzzer sounded, sending the game into overtime.
The Bruins and the Thunderbirds traded baskets throughout the extra frame until Algoma's Samy Mohammed nailed a three with eight seconds left.
Williams tried to match his heroics with an attempt at the buzzer, but it fell short and Algoma prevailed, 81-78. McQueen led the Bruins' scorers with 22 points. Trevor Williams had 20 points and Hall popped 10.
Sunday's game against Sault College could have been a trap game for the double-blue, but they came out with a renewed energy, and led 40-21 by the half.
Their relentless pressure created a barrage of turnovers, and the Cougars could not solve the Sheridan defence for any meaningful stretch of time.
In the end, the Bruins won the game, 86-54. All 12 Bruins logged double-digit minutes and 11 of them scored with Trevor Williams leading the way, notching 16 points. Periana added 15. Notre Dame grad Michael Selkridge collected 11 and Keen 10.
On Saturday the Sheridan Lady Bruins fell 98-62 to Fanshawe. Syhlanda Saunders paced Sheridan with 21 points. Fatima Shakil added 20 and Haeven Durrant 15 with 11 rebounds.
The Lady Bruins defeated the Sault 69-28 behind 26 points from Durrant and 22 by Saunders. Durrant and Jade Mason had 15 rebounds each with St. Edmund Campion grad Shanice Gouldbourne collecting 11 rebounds.
Sheridan fell 60-54 at Algoma. Saunders managed 19 points while Durrant scored 17 points and hauled in 18 rebounds.
Both Bruins teams are at Niagara tomorrow (Saturday).

Construction Spending Dips, But Manufacturing Expands
By Mark Memmott
There was a 1.1 percent decline in spending on construction in February vs. January, the Census Bureau just reported. But spending was still 5.8 percent above the level of February 2011.
According to the bureau, spending on home construction was unchanged in February from the month before. Public construction spending was down 1.7 percent.
The morning's other economic indicator: "Economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded in March for the 32nd consecutive month," the Institute for Supply Management said. It added that of the 18 manufacturing industries it tracks, "15 are reporting growth in March."

"The pictures of this product online are very accurate. The only thing I thought I would like to change would be to change the paper from the standard white to the Pearl Shimmer White, but the invitations are beautiful and I think the kind of paper that it is on is something only I will notice they still look beautiful on the plain white. Beautiful and elegant!!"
"This card is so pretty.. I actually ordered it in white and it's just a classic and elegant look! I changed the fonts a little to fit my style better, I just love it and can't wait to send them out. In person the font and writing size is more clear!"
"Wedding Paper Divas is a fantastic company! I ordered my wedding invitations from them and they look amazing!! They were delivered fast, they actually arrived before the expected date and were packaged very professionally. They have a designer look over everything before they're printed and they tell you if any corrections need to be made. I would definitely recommend Wedding Paper Divas to anyone looking for quality products at an affordable price."
"My daughter loves these wedding invites in blush. They arrived today and the design team did a great job centering everything on the card. Again, just as the tea party invitations, I feel the smaller font is hard to read. These cards are keepsake quality. Thanks again for another awesome product. The back is pretty too."
"Service was incredibly fast, from my design request right up to my shipping. The invitations blew my expectations out if the water! I have recommended to friends and will order again! Easy to input, all request were done exactly like I wanted and the paper quality was excellent!"

I love food. All kinds, all flavors....beans, greens, asparagus, anchovies, chicken, steak, fish (cooked or raw), garlic...everything. The only thing I just cannot tolerate is black licorice. Other than that? I love to cook and eat.
Aqua Libra, AB 7, keldemean, and 11 other people added this photo to their favorites.
I hate black licorice too. Yet, I'm trying to think if there's anything else.
I remember the black licorice video...... LOL !!!!!
i wish i could like everything.
artificial sweeteners, black licorice, olives, mushrooms, cantaloupe, honeydew, & beets are all on my can not tolerate list. and throw in meat & dairy b/c i'm vegan. LMAO.
When I was in college, my parents would send me care packages with nothing but black jelly beans. Love black licorice. On the other hand, I'm in a small minority: I don't like pizza.
you have a lust for life.
I'm trying to think of something I don't like, but it's hard once you put the thought of black licorice in my head.. (yech..)
But usually when I don't like something, it's because it's poorly prepared - like burned eggs.. (shivers..) Cannot stand burned eggs.. or over-boiled brussel sprouts. On the other hand, I like my grilled cheese with a bit of a char on it - just the way my poor mother made them.
As Shania said - "If I burn it black, he better say Yeah - I like it like that!"
I love food!
As for that savory dish above ^ I recommend you add oregano and that would pep it up with lots of flavor. :)
I love this photo alot.

|Archives and Libraries Section
The Archives and Libraries Section of the American Folklore Society was first established as the Archiving Section at the annual meeting of the Society in 1978 in Salt Lake City, Utah. In response to an interest in a focus on folklore in libraries as well as in archives, it became the Archives and Libraries Section in 1997.
The Section's mission is to promote the exchange of information on all types of archival methodology relating to folklore, folklife, and other ethnographic collections. In addition, the Section aims to share information and to help develop standards relevant to library collections and activities in folklore. The Section has maintained a particular interest in the developing technological systems that can advance the work of archivists and librarians working with folklore materials, and improve collections management in the field.
The Section adopted the original version of this statement of goals in 1994, and modified it in 2001 to include reference to library issues:
The Section awards two prizes on an every-other-year basis:
Brenda McCallum Prize (even years) for a work
that contributes to the goal of improving archival care and
to folklore collections, and the Polly Grimshaw Prize
(odd years) for the support of folklore or ethnomusicology projects with a
significant connection to libraries and/or archives.
The convener for the Section is Terri M. Jordan of Norman, Oklahoma. Dues are $10.

Shouldn't Berlin University be the one using the Germanium?
MIT should have made their laser out of Americium.
And it sucks to be Cambridge. There is no such thing as Englandium.
What? No, I don't have anything sensible to say about this story. And anyway, at first I thought it said geranium, and my comment was going to be even stupider than this one.
And it sucks to be Cambridge. There is no such thing as Englandium.
England could use noble gases, perhaps?
Stronger, faster, more efficient.
Downside is it has a tendency to encroach on polandium lasers...
Only the Vichi isotope is conducive to interactions with germanium, the rest react violently.
you know the Germans always make good stuff.
bedeutet das wir endlich diesen verdammten Haie mit Lasern auf dem Kopf?

VMware plans to acquire Virsto Software, maker of a "storage hypervisor" that will be added to VMware's popular virtualization lineup and licensed by EMC.
EMC saw fourth-quarter revenue rise 8 percent, driven mainly by strong performance at its VMware subsidiary, while net income rose 5 percent, both record figures for the company.
VMware said Monday it will cut 900 jobs in a move to focus more on high potential businesses, as profits remained strong but growth slowed.

Longtime VMware Chief Technology Officer Steve Herrod has stepped down from his post, leaving the company during a challenging time.
Infor has teamed up with VMWare to help customers of its Infor10 LN ERP (enterprise resource planning) software run on VMWare's latest virtualization technology, opening a door to private cloud deployments and potentially lower infrastructure costs.
VMware warned on Sunday that more of its source code for its ESX hypervisor technology could become public after another batch of code was released by a hacker.
Redis, an open source in-memory data store maintained by VMware, has been upgraded to be more stabile and make more judicious use of memory, two traits that should make it more appealing for enterprise deployments.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Mariano Medico, Chase Makowski and Michael Boland spent many of their summer days at Huntsville Golf Club, golfing together, working on their individual games and preparing for the high school season where they are teammates at Holy Redeemer.
That preparation appears to have paid off.
Medico, a Shavertown resident, won his second straight individual title Monday at the Wyoming Valley Conference Tryba Preseason Tournament. With help from Dallas residents Makowski and Boland, Medico also led Holy Redeemer to the team title.
"It's a good tournament to sort of feel out the competition, feel out where we are on the team level," said Medico, who shot even-par 71 and led Holy Redeemer to a 17-stroke team victory over Crestwood. "With the high expectations that we have as a team this year, for me, it was to see what we are up against in the conference.
"There are a couple of teams that can give us trouble in the conference, but if we are play our game, we have a real good shot at the conference championship."
Medico also placed third in the Tryba Tournament as a freshman and second as a sophomore before picking up the first of his two wins last season.
His current and future teammate helped the Royals dominate the tournament. Both Medico and Makowski made commitments to play Division I college golf at Monmouth University in New Jersey during August.
"We're both going to the same school, both playing Division I golf, so we're really excited," Medico said.
Makowski tied for fifth with a 76 and was one of four players who made up the Holy Redeemer team score.
Boland shot a 79, which did not count in the team score because four Holy Redeemer players shot 78 or better. It was plenty good enough, however, to have helped with the team title if his score was needed. It also made him one of just 11 players to break 80 out of 76 in the field.
Medico needed to recover from a bad hole to win his title. He offset a triple bogey on 7 at Fox Hill Country Club and another bogey with four birdies.
"It was nice that he can have a bad hole in the middle and be able to get it all back," Holy Redeemer coach Art Brunn Jr. told The Times Leader. "I'm proud that he didn't give up and he hung in there like that."
Medico made it back to even par at 16 when he recovered from a hooked tee shot to punch out from the trees 100 yards away all the way to the front of the green. From there, he made a 25-footer for a birdie-3.
"That was really big for me to get it back to even with two holes to play," said Medico, a junior member at Huntsville, who is also a member at Fox Hill where his father and grandfather have been long-time members.
Medico finished fifth in the state in Class AA last year. He considers a state title to be within his capabilities.
"Last year, I sort of said to myself, 'if you can place, it would be great'," Medico said. "This year, I feel like I really want to win that state championship.
" … I think I'm going to go in with a little different attitude than last year and go in there thinking I can compete to win."
Medico has learned he can rely on his long game, so his concentration is often on execution in the short game in order to produce the best scores possible.
"I think I'm sort of at the point where I'm hitting the ball the same just about every time I play," Medico said. "I think it's just a matter of if my putts drop. That's the focus for me right now — my putting.
"I know that if I can roll the ball well, then I'm going to score well. That's the thing I've really been working on and I know I have to get a little better around the greens because I've been a little streaky with my chipping."
Holy Redeemer shot a 298 and Crestwood 315. Coughlin was next with 325, followed by Tunkhannock with 336.
Dallas shot 339 to place fifth out of 13 teams. Lake-Lehman was one of the three schools that entered individuals, but not enough for a four-player team score.
Medico won the individual title by two strokes over teammate Andrew Crossin.
Sean Solytsiak led Tunkhannock by shooting 77 to finish seventh overall.
Chad DeBona led Dallas with an 82, one shot better than teammate Ryan Georgetti.
Nick Egan and Adam Motovidlak each shot 84 for Lake-Lehman.

School Running Program
School Running Program
Last Update: April 24, 2012
Aayush (Institute for Promotive and Primary Care) has planned to implement School Running Program in 10 schools of Nagpur on a pilot basis. This project will be implemented and supported by Aayush, in partnership with the school administration. With this program, Aayush intends to provide training, coaching and mentoring to the school students in partnership with school administration, teachers and parents to develop their skills in the sport of running and physical activity.
To implement the project, Aayush will engage with school authorities of 10 schools of Nagpur to implement the school running program. The schools engaged in this program will range from government, government-aided and private schools. Aayush will make presentation to school authorities and parents to provide information and educate them on sport of running and its benefits and importance for the school children. Aayush will enroll interested students from the respective schools in the 12 week program. The program will develop overall physical fitness and running skills among the students. We aim to enroll around 50 students from every school and hence intend to train around 500 children in the sport of running in the pilot program. A physical fitness check-up will be administered to the school students before starting the program.
Aayush will train the physical fitness coaches and school staff to implement the program. Every school will be provided with a physical fitness coach and training equipment to administer the training program. The students will be provided with resources for the program like log books and information on running and training. Aayush will develop an online database for monitoring the program. The students and the school staff will be provided with log-in ID's and password to the online database for logging information on their training. The coaches will only be able to enter details of the training completed by the students of the respective schools. The students will be able to understand and visualize the amount of training they have completed and monitor their progress. The coach in every school will responsible to enter amount of training completed by each student at the end of every week. The coach will also update the log books of students at each workout session.
Aayush will continuously provide support and oversee the program implementation. The program will train the school students to run 5 kilometers (km). At the end of 12 week program, Aayush will organize a 5 km race for the school students. HR and the school authorities will issue a certificate and medal to all the students successfully completing the 5 km run at the end of program. At the end of this 12 week program, the schools will be equipped to continue the running program, which will be continuously supported by Aayush throughout the academic year.
Aayush will monitor the program through-out the 12 week program. Aayush members will take responsibility of respective schools to monitor the program and provide information on weekly or daily basis to the project manager. We will continuously seek feedback from the school authorities and staffs involved in the running program and amend as required.
