The Ultimate Fighter now needs to look away from the idea of Chael Sonnen being one the coaches.
The news of Chael Sonnen's indefinite suspension being upheld yesterday robbed the fans of a title contender in the middleweight division as well as taking away one of the sports biggest heels and trash talkers. Not even a year ago Chael Sonnen was a minute away from delivering on his promise that he was "five takedowns" away from a world title when he punished champion Anderson Silva for close to 24 minutes in their five round title fight.
Chael would succumb to a late come from behind submission by Silva that would go down as one of the most shocking endings to a fight in the history of the sport. Still, the legend of Chael Sonnen would burn on as a re-match began to be heavily anticipated literally hours after the end of the fight.
With the news of his hearing with the CSAC yesterday we also found out that should Chael be reinstated he would coach alongside Michael Bisping in the latest installment of the Ultimate Fighter which would be focused around the bantamweights and the featherweights (135-145). The two coaches in customary fashion would meet at the end of the show and in this instance would be to crown the number one contender to the middleweight title.
So what now?
With the numbers progressively dipping in this season's show it has become apparent that there needs to be tweaks to the system to make the show once again successful. But how? I believe it starts with the coaches.
With the arrival of the bantamweights and featherweights through the WEC merger the smaller fighters in MMA will be allowed their chance to shine on the sports largest stage. With stars like Jose Aldo and Urijah Faber already headlining events it is only a matter of time before more come up from within the ranks.
Just like when the UFC opened its doors to the lightweight division years ago, the excitement and anticipation of a new weight class should spark some fans interest in who exactly these guys are. And with the news of who might be in on this seasons show, their interest in justified.
Most fans recognize the name Beebe, as in Chase Beebe former WEC world champion. Not as many would recognize little brother Carson and his entrance to the sport of MMA. Din Thomas and Ian McCall are veterans within the sport already and would like to use TUF as a push towards the big stage. The show regardless of they put on it will have a blend of established talent, prospects and storylines.
But who will tune in to watch without notable coaches to draw the interest? Here is who I think should coach TUF 14.
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Forrest Griffin
via rds.yahoo.com
The rematch that so many of us want to see. The two veteran fighters would provide invaluable experience knowledge to the fighters on the show.
Rua, a veteran of both the UFC and Pride has been in countless title fights and has fought a whose who of the light heavyweight division. He has also been a young up and comer who at one time was relatively unknown and proved his worth by taking big fights, big chances and becoming one of the legends of his weight class.
Griffin, a former champion himself has the experience and the big time exposure that most all fighters can envy. While also having an impressive resume what Griffin brings to the table more then anyone is a humble nature. Forrest has shown the regular normal laid back guy personality while being one of the biggest stars of the sport. Griffin was the first Ultimate Fighter winner and took part in what is often recognized as the most significant mixed martial arts fight in UFC history.
Both fighters can also offer the TUF contestants legendary fight camps. Griffin coming from Xtreme Couture where he has learned his Jiu Jitsu from black belt Robert Drysdale and his gym has a healthy dose of top fighters to poke their heads in which includes Randy Couture, Gray Maynard and former TUF winner Amir Sadollah.
Shogun trains overseas. Once trained at infamous Chute Box until he opened his own gym, Universidade da Luta. Offering his expertise in the art of Muay Thai while also holding a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt his brother Murilo, as well as partners Glaube Feitosa and Andre Amade are prominent instructors in the gym.
While there is no bad blood between the two in terms of trash talking there is plenty of heat when they lock the cage doors as Forrest already owns a submission victory over Shogun in late 2007. Many argue that Shogun was not in the best shape for the fight and now seeks redemption while Forrest plans to prove there was no fluke and he is the better fighter. The fight also puts both guys right on track for a title shot, which makes the season bear some serious implications in its conclusion.
Two very solid coaches and planned fireworks in the end. Can't ask for much more then that.
via rds.yahoo.com
They already have agreed verbally to each other for the fight, so why not let them fight? And coach the Ultimate Fighter.
Jake Shields is coming off a disappointing loss at the hands of welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre in a fight that saw Shields stray from his strength of Jiu Jitsu and attempt to kick box with the superior striker. Before the loss Shields was on quite a tear; a six year, fifteen fight win streak through several different titles and organizations.
Penn, a former UFC welterweight and lightweight champion is coming off a draw with fellow welterweight Jon Fitch. In a fight that saw Penn out wrestle and grapple Fitch early on and succumb to the grinding nature of Fitch in the later round. Previously, Penn had knocked out former division king Matt Hughes in about 20 seconds.
Both fighters have the credentials to be coaches. Both have cemented their legacy in some shape or form and would be great mentors to the contestants. With Penn currently tending to an injury the time off coaching may very well be good timing for the UFC.
The back story is that which makes this coaching option even juicier. Fans of Penn know the relationship Penn once had within the Gracie family and fans of Shields know that his head trainer is in fact well respected Cesar Gracie. With the history of the families and the fighters, the TUF contestants will be treated with whatever coach they are selected to train under.
This fight also has title implications as both guys really need a big win to get on the winning track impressively to line up another shot at glory.
via rds.yahoo.com
The UFC absorbed Strikeforce and as much as they would like to stay tight to their business as usual moniker. They can scrap the Aaron Simpson fight which is currently labeled as a preliminary fight anyways and start marketing and promoting the beef between the two.
Think Shamrock vs. Tito. Which set records and really pushed TUF to new levels.
With the money that Nick wants to go box, Dana could certainly entice him with some time off and money without fighting. The tricky part would be the weight that the two would need to fight at after the show. I am sure with Dana at the helm they could make a catchweight bout good for both fighters.
The show would be ratings gold if properly advertised. The two guys do not like each other and let us be honest for a second. Who didn't tune in for Shamrock/Ortiz and Rampage/Evans to see what sort of confrontation happened between them?
Ever since the back and forth between the two in Strikeforce the fans of either fighter have been clamoring in their own back and forth battles in hopes the fight may take place. With the UFC marketing machine pushing it, it will only be a matter of time before the regular Spike audience catches on for the fun.
Beef aside, both fighters are veterans of the sport and have skills that the contestants could heavily benefit from. Miller has been in the cage with the likes of Jake Shields, Jacare Souza, Tim Kennedy and Robbie Lawler. While Nick has also assembled an impressive resume fighting notable names like Paul Daley, Takanori Gomi and Frank Shamrock.
The fight would sell itself week after week during the process of the show.
What are your thoughts of possible TUF coaching match ups?

MSNBC criticized for editing of gun hearing video
NEW YORK (AP) - MSNBC invited viewers Wednesday to draw their own conclusions about whether the parent of a Connecticut school shooting victim was heckled at a legislative hearing but didn't address criticism that it aired a deceptively edited video of the event.
The NBC-owned cable news network found itself under attack for its editing practices less than a year after three employees of NBC or an NBC-owned station lost their jobs over the editing of a 911 call in the Trayvon Martin case.
On Monday, MSNBC's Martin Bashir reported on hearing testimony given that day by Neil Heslin, whose 6-year-old son, Jesse, was killed last month in the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
In the hushed hearing room, Heslin said, "I ask if there's anybody in this room that can give me one reason or challenge this question: why anybody in this room needs to have ... one of these assault-type weapons or military weapons or high-capacity clips?"
Heslin paused for five seconds and looked around him. No one else spoke.
"Not one person can answer that question," he said.
Then, someone in the audience shouted: "The Second Amendment shall not be infringed."
After the audience was admonished by a legislator not to speak, Heslin said, "Anyway, we're all entitled to our own opinion, and I respect their opinions and thoughts, but I wish they'd respect mine and give it a little bit of thought."
Video aired by Bashir Monday omitted the challenge, depicting Heslin saying: "Why anybody in this room needs to have ... one of these assault-type weapons or military weapons." At that point, without any pause, the audience member's interjection about the Second Amendment was heard. Heslin's comment about respecting opinions was omitted.
The camera then focused on Bashir, who said, "a father's grief interrupted by the cries of a heckler."
The passage as aired by MSNBC received criticism for being deceptive.
"This is not how a legitimate, professional news organization operates," said Brent Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog. "MSNBC's relentless anti-gun advocacy is bad enough, but this is downright dishonest."
MSNBC spokeswoman Lauren Skowronski did not immediately address questions about why MSNBC made the changes or whether criticism that it was misleading is valid.
Bashir was out sick on Wednesday, but substitute anchor Ari Melber said Bashir had made note of questions about whether Heslin had been heckled. MSNBC then played an unedited video of the passage in question.
"Martin and others have called that interruption heckling," Melber said. "Some disagree. He wanted you to hear that in full so you can draw your own conclusions."
Melber said nothing on the air about the fact that it initially aired an edited portion of the video.
Last spring, NBC's "Today" show and its Miami station WTVJ aired versions of a police emergency call made by Florida neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman that emphasized his identification of Trayvon Martin as a black man, before Zimmerman shot Martin. Zimmerman had given his description of Martin after a dispatcher asked about his race but that portion of the tape wasn't initially aired. NBC later apologized.

Natalie's Review
Tawse Winery Inc. Estate Chardonnay 2009, VQA Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada: This is the winery's first time making this particular chardonnay. The fruit was sourced from the estate's Quarry Road, Robyn's Bench, David's Block and Hillside vineyards. It's both organic and biodynamically farmed. This rich layers of toasty oak and vanilla spice come from barrel fermentation followed by 12 months of aging in French oak (20% of which was new). There is terrific minerality and depth in this wine; it's full-bodided but heavy with great complexity and hedonistic satisfaction. Drink: 2011-2015. 670459000847 13% XD 750 mL $34.95 Score: 91/100.

What's better than a lightly flavored chocolate cupcake? One that is decorated to resemble Minnie Mouse, of course! This cupcake is just one of the many possible desserts to choose from at Disney's Polynesian Resort. It consists of a chocolate cupcake with a slight hint of mocha, a ton of chocolate mousse frosting, a ganache-like chocolate coating, a while fondant bow, and, of course, two Oreo cookies perched on top to make the mouse ears. Who can resist such a treat?

These chocolate sour cream cupcakes are a chocolate (and cupcake!) lovers dream come true. They are flavored with unsweetened cocoa powder, sour cream, vanilla extract, and brewed coffee. They also contain standard items like flour, sugar, salt, eggs, vegetable oil, baking soda and baking powder. The frosting is an nontraditional ganache, made from heavy cream, bittersweet chocolate and coffee liquor. Top with a few sprinkles before serving, and enjoy! You won't be able to eat just one!

Cupcakes don't have to be sweet. When made from savory ingredients, these mini chicken parmesan meatloaf cupcakes are more like appetizers, or can be used as a dish at the dinner table, alongside other things. The best part of these chicken cupcakes may not be the seasonings or even the chicken. Instead, the mozzarella cheese filling, the panko and parmesan topping and the warmed marinara sauce (for dipping!) take the cake – almost literally.

Maple and walnut are classic flavor combinations for a reason. They taste awesome together! Whether you are making maple walnut bread, pancakes, or cakes just one whiff of the maple and toasted walnuts together and you know that you are on the right path. These Maple Walnut Cupcakes are simply scrumptious. The cupcake batter is a simple vanilla cupcake recipe, but with the addition of chopped walnuts. The highlight of the day though has to be the creamy maple buttercream frosting. I could just lick the bowl and be happy all day. Try topping with some candied walnuts for a touch of class.

Picture caramel apple pie, only in cupcake form. No, make that upside down cupcake form. Yes, you read that right. These caramel apple cupcakes start off with a yellow cake mix that is prepared according to its included instructions. Once you have that base, the fun begins. Butter, brown sugar and canned fried apples (yes, they do exist!) are placed on the bottom of each cupcake liner. The batter is poured over them. Bake, let cool, remove the liners and serve apple side up. No frosting required.

Sure, you can add sprinkles to a vanilla cupcake mix (this turns them into Funfetti cupcakes) or chocolate chips (which makes them chocolate chip cupcakes), but crushed up chocolate? Yes, it is possible – if you follow this recipe. Rather than adding cocoa powder to the mix, the crushed up chocolate remains suspended in the batter, turning these treats into vanilla cupcakes with chocolate, hence the name. Top off with some buttercream frosting and few sprinkles before serving them!
Source Bite Delight
A standard vanilla cupcake can be transformed into something not-so-standard thanks to a little creativity, some sprinkles, and frosting in a few different colors. These particular ones have a spring theme that starts with green tinted buttercream frosting. A colorful flower (purple, blue, pink – your choice) made of royal icing is added to the top. Next, add on the sprinkles! The ones that you see here are colorful sugar sprinkles, but you can use whichever ones you choose.

Nothing says "summer!" like a fruit flavored beverage, whether it contains alcohol or not. These strawberry daiquiri cupcakes fall into the first category, since the batter has actual strawberry daiquiri mix and rum in it. (The addition of these things turns them into an adults-only treat as well.) Red food coloring is used in order to carry out the theme, as are the umbrella toppers. However, what really gives these cupcakes a kick is the rum buttercream frosting!

We purchased this car for our college

stranded her: ablown fuse with no

stranded her again, blown head gasket,
leaking radiator, and now the tranny is
acting up too. A knowledgible mechanic
told to get rid of these before they
hit 120k, ours has 101k. I'm looking
at a $1000 repair bill on acar that I
paid $500 too much for.

Located on the south side of Clapham Common, Clapham Tandoori has been serving up traditional Indian cuisine to south Londoners for 40 years, and they're not showing any signs of slowing down. They attribute their success to a combination of traditional Indian food, modern décor and their award winning chef. The food, too, is highly acclaimed – several of their signature dishes, including the chicken hariali (chicken breast in ginger, garlic, coriander, lemongrass and Madras sauce), raan mussallam (roasted marinated leg of lamb with an onion and tomato gravy), and chicken xakuti (a spicy south Indian style chicken curry with freshly ground coconut), have won House of Commons awards. The décor is clean and modern – expect lots of bright colours, uncluttered surfaces and glass and, as an added bonus, non-stop Bollywood films playing on wall-mounted TVs add to the buzzing ambience - and service is friendly and accommodating.

I am not going to gloss over how much I continue to be consumed by blind fury and unadulterated rage from the loss on Sunday. And the Falcons didn't just lose to the Saints--they handed them the ball in field goal range in overtime after failing to convert a crucial, and short, fourth down attempt. Expletives deleted.
But, for some odd reason--possibly the cumulative effects of persistent insomnia, but I don't think so--I feel more optimistic about the Falcons now than I did at this point last week. And I'm not going to just throw a bunch of platitudes your way, like, "Oh, there's a lot of football left to play," and "The Saints are a stupid dumb, anyway," even though both of those things are true. There are some legitimate reasons to be encouraged by Sunday's performance. Hit the jump, and bear with me.
So, reading that probably made you feel worse about the loss than you did before. I know that writing it dampened my enthusiasm considerably. Let's move on to more pleasant observations.
We have excellent running backs. Michael Turner had a good day, Jacquizz Rodgers continues to impress, and Jason Snelling--wow. It was actually a pass that led to his touchdown, but what he did with it after catching it, running through almost the entire defense, left me speechless. If the Falcons remember they are supposed to be a run-first offense, they will be successful. They abandoned the run in overtime for no apparent reason, and if they hadn't, I believe they would have been more likely to churn up yards, move the chains, and put Matt Bryant in range--and I firmly believe he would not have missed again.
Julio Jones got hurt on Sunday, and Roddy, as we all know, has been struggling in various ways. However, Harry Douglas stepped up in a big way, and Tony Gonzalez proved to be as reliable as ever. Now that we know Mike Mularkey remembers that Harry Douglas exists, maybe we will see a more diverse approach to the passing game.
Matt Bosher is much improved. Poor punting and kickoffs put us at a disadvantage early in the season, and I am encouraged by his progress. Our offensive line has also improved greatly. Ryan was sacked just once on Sunday.
All of the aforementioned issues are well and good, but there are two main reasons for my optimism about the Falcons' potential this season. The first is the defensive performance they turned in against the most statistically successful offense in the league, and the second was their resolve in coming back from a ten point deficit to tie the game.
The Saints have been averaging 31.3 points per game, 436.9 yards of total offense per game, and 319.4 passing yards per game. Brees was pretty close to his passing yards average in this game, but the key was limiting touchdowns--allowing two passing touchdowns as opposed to the Saints' average of 3.5 per game was impressive. The Falcons also essentially shut down the Saints' running game altogether--New Orleans averages 117.5 rushing yards per game, and they managed just 41 yards against the Falcons. The Saints average 24.5 first downs per game--the Falcons let them have 18. The Saints are averaging a 53% conversion rate on 3rd downs, and the Falcons' defense kept up their stalwart 3rd down performance, allowing the Saints to convert just 30% of their attempts. The soft zone coverage may make us all want to punch somebody in the face, but aside from that, this is a legitimately good Falcons defense.
I've already mentioned the discipline our team played with throughout the successful 2010 season, but another hallmark of that season was the Falcons' ability to come back from a deficit and win games--like they did against the 49ers, the Bengals, and most particularly the Ravens last season. Of course I have not forgotten that we actually lost on Sunday. I'm not delusional. I understand what a win would have meant, and the loss is beyond disappointing. But this was the first time this season I have seen any fight or resolve from the Falcons' offense under adversity. The Falcons showed some spark in the 4th quarter against Tampa Bay, but that game was so mistake-ridden that it ceased to matter. They had no fight against Chicago, and despite such a strong start against Green Bay, they had no answer for the Packers once they started rolling. This Saints game was different. The Falcons stayed focused despite being down ten points, and made quick work of tying up the game.
And then the offensive playcalling went haywire in overtime, and Michael Turner never touched the ball until it didn't make any sense for him to touch the ball, and we all know what happened after that. It sucks. That being said, I really thought the Falcons would split with the Saints this season, and they still can.
I don't think you can look past any team, but we have a relatively easy stretch coming up, with the Tennessee Titans and the Minnesota Vikings at home, and the Matt Leinart-led Houston Texans after that. The Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football are not particularly scary, and the next game will be the rematch with the Saints in the Super Dome. Since the Jaguars game is a Thursday night matchup, and we take on the Saints on Monday Night Football, we have a nice, long stretch to prepare for New Orleans. Our last game is against Tampa Bay, a division rival that has basically imploded, in the Georgia Dome. Any team can win any game on any given Sunday, but we have the talent and skill to win every game left on our schedule.
I hate losing to the Saints. I hate everything about it. I particularly hate losing to the Saints by three points because of the way we handled that 4th down attempt. But, I love the improvements I've seen in this team, I am impressed by our defense, and if we continue to play the kind of football that limited Drew Brees and the explosive Saints offense and forced Sunday's game into overtime after being down by 10 points, we can be successful down the stretch.

No Padres player or member of the front office entered the season thinking the Diamondbacks would win 90 games. Then Bob Melvin's young and athletic Diamondbacks hit precisely that number – one more than San Diego – despite scoring 20 runs fewer than they allowed.
The chance of a team generating a 90-72 record with a minus-20 run differential is under 5 percent, but as Padres scout and statistical analyst Paul DePodesta said, "Hey, at the end of the day, playoff teams are decided by win-loss record, not run-loss differential."
"Those dudes pitched us as well as anybody all year," Padres hitter Mike Cameron said after the Rockies swept a critical three-game series at Petco Park two weeks ago.
Those who bemoan the season-ending injuries suffered by Padres outfielders Cameron and Milton Bradley on Bleak Sunday (Sept. 23) should bear in mind that the Padres, by and large, enjoyed excellent health.
The Padres, cobbled together mostly with outside parts, won NL West championships in 2005 and 2006, but the greater goal, DePodesta said, has been to build a championship organization – one whose farm system fills holes at the major league level.
Colorado, if belatedly, is more resembling that blueprint, but the Padres may be gaining on it after amassing 11 compensatory picks for the last three amateur drafts and setting a franchise spending record in the Dominican Republic, where they will open an $8 million facility this winter.
Propelling the club for stretches long and short, the front office reprised its knack for trading nothing or next to nothing for producers. Getting Heath Bell and Kevin Kouzmanoff last November and cheaply acquiring Milton Bradley, Scott Hairston and Joe Thatcher this summer enhanced a product intriguing enough to draw about 2.8 million fans to Petco Park. TV ratings also rose from previously strong levels.
Still, it can be questioned whether the mid-revenue Padres elite burned to win a World Series championship as intently as the club did in the mid-to-late 1990s, when selling the public on a new ballpark was high on the agenda. Imagine how good this Padres club could have been if a big bat had been added before the season to a pitching staff that would post a majors-best 3.12 ERA in the season's first 87 games.
1. Solidify center field. Mike Cameron, 35 in January, could end up in Atlanta or Philadelphia if the Padres don't sign him. The Padres, who have no in-house options, talked about offering Andruw Jones a big one-year salary. 2. Resolve left field. Scott Hairston hit eight home runs in 87 at-bats and is 27. Expect him back, but not by himself.
3. Fill out the rotation. Mark Prior, Matt Clement, Brett Tomko and Josh Towers are candidates to join Jake Peavy, Chris Young and Greg Maddux.
4. Decide on Milton Bradley. His OPS in 42 games was a Pujols-like 1.004, but injuries kept the 29-year-old out of the starting lineup in 53 percent of the games after the Padres acquired him.
5. Explore the third-base surplus. Kevin Kouzmanoff had a solid rookie season, and the Padres believe Chase Headley is close to being ready. A trade or difficult position transfer could be ahead.
The Padres might have found the 90s had they signed Mark Loretta when he begged last November to sign for under $2 million. Loretta's bat was far less explosive than in 2004 – when he gave the Padres the best season of any major league second baseman that year – but with Loretta's bat control in the No. 2 spot, Black probably would have moved Brian Giles into his ideal spot – leadoff – in March rather than June. The brass instead sank some $5 million into second basemen Marcus Giles and Todd Walker. From May 7 to Aug. 27, Giles got 311 plate appearances while batting .181.
This summer the White Sox offered second baseman Taduhito Iguchi for fringe minor league talent, but the Padres didn't like him as a $1.8 million addition to their payroll. Iguchi went to the Phillies and helped them win the NL East.
With three cracks at the wild-card berth, the Padres lost leads in the potential playoff clinchers that became defeats in games 161, 162 and 163. In other years, though, and perhaps other NL divisions this year, this Padres team would still be playing.
"Give the Diamondbacks credit," said first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. "They beat us when it counted."
Said Peavy: "Over the last month, the Rockies were the best team in baseball."

If you go to the fresh market in Ocean Springs on Saturday mornings, as Donna and I often do, you will frequently find a long line at one booth, and that line seems to stay busy all morning.
It's the folks from Country Girl's Creamery in Lumberton, who come down each week and bring us fresh milk, cheese and other dairy products along with grass-fed meat products. A lot of local people come to fresh market just to get their milk each week, but there are lots of other good-health kinds of things to buy there.
There's a booth with fresh bread that I frequently purchase, and my friend Pat sells organic plants and vegetables at another booth. We buy our local honey, which is good for what ails you, and we sometimes buy minimally processed sausage and chickens from another booth. Last week, one of the growers had fresh collards, which Donna cooked up with black-eyed peas and cornbread. We've been on a vegetarian kick lately. And Donna has been experimenting with micro greens, which she learned about from a lady at the market.
These local growers are a crucial part of a national movement that's bringing people back to local foods that are simple and less processed. The more processed your food is the less likely it will be to promote good health.
And milk is a good place to start thinking about good eating. When I think about milk, I can't help thinking about my older brother, Neil, who has had a lifelong affair with milk. To this day, I think he still drinks a gallon of milk a week. And to my knowledge he's never had any health problems that can be traced back to milk.
I have another family member, though, who drinks only raw milk, straight from the cow, never pasteurized or homogenized. I read that only eight states allow the selling of raw milk in stores, so a lot of people have to go underground to get it, or they just go out and buy a cow. And she, also, has never had a health problem related to her milk.
Country Girl's milk walks the line between store-bought and raw. First of all, Country Girl is local and that's important. But it also is not homogenized and it is pasteurized at lower temperatures. That low temperature process insures that all harmful bacteria are eliminated, but the milk retains all its nutrients, many of which are lost in the commercial processes.
Another benefit to Country Girl's milk is the taste. Since it's not homogenized, it retains the creaminess of the product. We've had their cheese, too, and Donna uses their buttermilk for cooking. It's just good eating.
Donna and I agree that eating simple food close to the source is the best way to eat and live healthy, and local farmers' markets are the best way to achieve those goals.

OMD loses £600m global Vodafone account
OMD has lost the £600 million global media planning and buying business for Vodafone, which will move to either Group M or the Denstu Aegis Network.
Vodafone: the wait by Grey London
Sources said Omnicom's OMD has been told it has not made it through to the final stage of the process, leaving Group M and the Dentsu Aegis Network, the owner of Carat and Vizeum, to battle it out for the business.
OMD has worked with Vodafone for 17 years, bar a six-month period in 2009. The network has the global account, although Vodafone does work with local partners in some markets.
Vodafone appointed OMD to its international media planning and buying account in August 2009, when the business was worth £800 million. OMD beat WPP's Team Red in the final stage of the review, which had involved Carat earlier on.
OMD had held the account for 12 years previously but briefly lost the business to Carat in January 2009.
WPP's specialist Vodafone team, Team Red, holds the telecoms company's creative account. Grey London works on the telecom giant's global advertising and Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R handles the UK account.
A spokeswoman for Vodafone said: "The process of selecting a media planning and buying agency is still ongoing, and we will update you when we conclude the review."
