The Routemaster Association was formed in the late 1980's with the aim of supporting operators and owners who had started to acquire examples of this London icon following the commencement of large scale withdrawals from London service.
The Association has developed into a leader among bus interest and support organisations, and working together we can help keep the Routemaster on the road.
Today in the 21st century, if you own a Routemaster, this is more important than ever before.

Flu Outbreak Hits The Carolinas Hard
CBS Charlotte (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSCharlotte.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSCharlotte.com/Health
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP/CBS Charlotte) — South Carolina state health officials say at least 22 people have died from influenza since the fall.
That compares with a single death in the last flu season.
The Department of Health and Environmental Control says three people have died in Greenville and Lexington counties. There have been two deaths in Aiken, Oconee, Richland and York counties.
Nineteen of the deaths have involved people at least age 65. Two of the victims were between 50 and 64 and one was a 4-year-old.
The latest report from the North Carolina State Department of Health reveals that there have been 17 flu-related deaths across the state. Most of the deaths reported were among people older than 65.
Doctors say a flu shot is the best defense from the illness. The anti-viral drug Tamiflu can lessen the effects of flu if given when symptoms begin.

Dancing On Ice contestants Sam Attwater and Brianne Delcourt have spoken candidly about their romance for the first time.
Their off-rink chemistry was confirmed two weeks ago when Philip Schofield cheekily asked what was happening between them, which was met with an awkward response.
However, it appears that the relationship is definitely past the awkward stage and seems to be getting serious.
Posing in bed in a shoot with Heat magazine, they admit they "love each other to bits" and have already met each other's parents.
They even reveal their nicknames for each other: "He calls me Tai Tai and I call him Shaneekwa."

4 US-led soldiers injured in eastern Afghanistan
By: Press TV on: 10.09.2012 [14:39 ] (434 reads)
4 US-led soldiers injured in eastern Afghanistan
A fatally wounded US army soldier is carried to the Medevac helicopter of the 159th Brigade Task Force Thunder on August 24, 2011.
Mon Sep 10, 2012 11:56AM GMT
At least four US-led soldiers have been injured after their tank came under militant attack in Laghman province in eastern Afghanistan, Press TV reports.
The incident occurred late Sunday when foreign forces' tank was blown up in an attack in the town of Gharghei in Laghman province, which led to the injury of four US-led troops.
Meanwhile, Afghan Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahed claimed responsibility for the offensive, saying the attack killed three foreign soldiers and wounded three others.
Meanwhile another US-led soldier serving with the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was killed in a bomb attack in southern Afghanistan on Sunday.
Foreign forces suffer the most casualties in spring and summer when attacks by Taliban militants against NATO troops hit their peak.
The high number of military casualties in Afghanistan has intensified opposition in the United States and other members of the Western military alliance of NATO against the protracted war in the country.
According to independent website icasualties.org, at least 326 US-led forces, most of them Americans, have died in Afghanistan so far this year.
A total of 566 US-led forces died in Afghanistan in 2011.
However, 2010 remains the deadliest year for foreign military casualties, with a death toll of 711.
The United States and its allies invaded Afghanistan in 2001 as part of Washington's so-called war on terror.

"The nine Best Picture nominees have collectively grossed a staggering $918 million domestically so far, Gitesh Pandya (BoxOfficeGuru) tells Gold Derby. "That is up a stunning 55% from the nine-pack from a year ago at this same time."
For many years, Pandya has tracked the financial aspect of the Oscars derby. As he tells us, "Only one film last year -- 'The Help' -- broke $100 million whereas this time around we have no less than six including 'Silver Linings Playbook' which passes the mark on Monday or Tuesday. Worldwide, the nine Best Picture contenders have grossed over $2 billion to date proving that quality films for grownups can still make a ton of cash."
He says, "the big studios came back with a vengeance this year and their films are winning awards AND making big money." And, as he observes, "they may be asking themselves why did we get out of this game and let Harvey take all the loot in the first place?"
Pandya predicts, "we're going to see a nice rise in the ratings for ABC too. When this many people have actually seen so many of the top contenders, more will care to tune in to see who wins. It's not a year when only 12 people have seen all the big nominees."
Earliest Oscars Predictions Ever
Our Oscarologists are busy updating their predictions as they see more and more contenders. Make your early picks now -- click here -- and change them later as the derby heats up.

Today, the race took a tragic turn. Aiken's opponent, local businessman Keith Crisco, died after suffering serious injuries in a fall inside his home. Crisco, 71, had run against former "Idol" runner-up Aiken in the Democratic primary for the right to challenge incumbent Republican Rep.

What Do Shailene Woodley and Theo James Think of Eachother?
We had previously posted pictures of Shailene Woodley and Theo James INSTYLE photo shoot. But now we have them in better quality and there is the new article of what Theo and Shailene think of exactly think of each other.
The two seem to have a mutual admiration for each other. They are absolutely adorable.
Shailene Woodley: I had a lot of fun working with Theo. Having him by my side felt really reassuring and comfortable. I feel protected by him in a really great way.
Theo James: Shai has a strong sense of self and a strong sense of how she wants to handle herself as an actress and as a person who is really unique and really strong. She can keep two feet on the ground but still be able to achieve everything she wants to achieve. She's a much better person than me, basically.
SW: I can be around Theo and laugh all day. If he messes up a scene, instead of asking to do another take, he'll say something hilarious and start telling a joke.
TJ: Yeah, I'm definitely a joker. It's important to find the fun in these kind of films or it can become a bit heavy. So there were a lot of pranks and water bottles on set.
SW: Theo, what do you find the most intimidating about the success that you've recently found?
TJ: While I find my job as an actor challenging, I also think that there's fun in that challenge. So for me, what I find to be the most intimidating is having to go to so many parties and events and try to be a charming, larger-than-life character. Inherently, I'm not a huge extrovert, so I actually find interviews and all the glamour to be a bit challenging sometimes. Shai, since you asked me a proper question, I guess I have to ask you one, too, instead of a joke. If you weren't an actress, what would you be?
SW: Well, I love the environment and cultivating a life where there is a respect between myself and the nature around me. It's an entire lifestyle now—from collecting my own spring water to knowing what plants around me are healing and what plants I can use for food sources to even using plants as makeup. I've worn beets and berries on my lips before as a lip stain. I also love to cook—I can make a really bad-ass lasagna.
TJ: And I was going to say that Shai would probably be a pixie in the forest.

Drugs and guns don't mix. Nebraska man gets federal prison time.
Eric Steven Blevins of Norfolk, Nebraska, was sentenced for being an illegal user of drugs in possession of a firearm and ammunition, announced United States Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt. United States District Court Judge James E. Gritzner sentenced Eric Steven Blevins to 15 months of imprisonment, to be followed by two years of supervised release.
Judge Gritzner also imposed a $100.00 assessment for the Crime Victim Fund, and ordered the forfeiture of the seized pistol and
ammunition. Blevins remains in the custody of the United States Marshal pending designation of the Federal Bureau of Prisons facility at which he will serve his sentence.
On January 26, 2011, the federal grand jury returned a one-count indictment against Blevins, charging him with being an unlawful user of marijuana in possession of a 9mm pistol and ammunition.
The charge arose from Council Bluffs police officers on October 3, 2010,
finding Blevins and another person at a Council Bluffs motel with marijuana and K2 ("synthetic marijuana"). Outside the window of the motel room in which Blevins was staying, officers found an unloaded 9mm pistol and ammunition.

What Does This Button Do?
Tons of things go into seats, like passengers, child-safety seats and less convenient items like quarters, cellphones and keys that disappear into the black hole between the cushions. Few things, however, come out of a seat unless it's a coil spring poking you in the rear or the extravagant feature Mercedes-Benz incorporates on its E-Class convertible.
Top 10 Most Extravagant Car Options
The Mercedes-Benz E550 Cabriolet's mysterious button hints that it expels something from the front seats, but it's not the scented breeze of pine trees when your passenger can't catch a hint.

Fifth annual radiothon to benefit pediatric care at University Hospital begins Nov. 1
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— The fifth annual Radiothon for the Golisano Children's Hospital, presented by ClearChannel Radio to benefit pediatric services at University Hospital, will be broadcast live on Newsradio 570 WSYR from University Hospital and Carousel Center Nov. 1 and 2, from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., and from the Carousel Center on Nov. 3.
Central New Yorkers can make a pledge by calling 315-464-KIDS (5437) during the radiothon or by participating in the radiothon's Change Bandit campaign.
The radiothon will feature live interviews with the families of children who have been treated at University Hospital, members of the hospital's pediatric team and community advocates for children's health.
"University Hospital is a leader in child healthcare, research, advocacy and education," said Toni Gary, director of community relations for the Golisano Children's Hospital at University Hospital, which is set to open in 2009. "Our team of pediatric specialists treat the most complex cases in our region. The radiothon will feature discussions on the most recent advances in medicine and in research into children's disease."
Onondaga County Executive Nicholas Pirro, who has served as honorary chair for the radiothon, will also participate.
Last year's two-day radiothon raised more than $60,000—approximately $54,000 through phone donations.
"In addition to the call-in pledges, we are once again offering Central New Yorkers another fun way to donate by inviting them to become change bandits," said Gary. "Change bandits look for loose change in their own homes, or ask friends, classmates, co-workers, and neighbors for their loose change. It's amazing how the change does add up," said Gary, noting that last year's radiothon raised more than $7,000 through the change bandit effort.
Change bandits receive a special kit that includes a Change Bandit badge, coin collection bag/cannister, drop-off form and posters to display at school or in the office. The names of Change Bandits who collect $50 or more will be eligible to win dinner for two at Carrabba's Italian Grill. To obtain a Change Bandit kit, call 315-464-5748 or e-mail email@example.com.
The Golisano Children's Hospital Radiothon is co-sponsored by the Upstate Medical University Foundation.

A festival this weekend is celebrating Bedford-Stuyvesant's best food and art.
The fourth annual "Toast of Brooklyn" is meant to show Bedford-Stuyvesant in a different light while also promoting the area as open for business.
Organizers say that the festival's combination of the area's best drinks, dishes and music shows that Bed-Stuy is an entertainment and cultural hub.
"We want to showcase the other parts of Bed-Stuy, which is the food, which is the wines, which is all the cultural and social benefits that are here in Bed-Stuy," said organizer Joe Coello.
"Bed-Stuy is a very diverse neighborhood," said organizer Danny Simmons. "It's a neighborhood that is changing and growing, and the arts are a major part of that."
The festival runs through Saturday night.

In instant messaging, federated IM networks are those that allow communications across different IM clients and platforms, similar to the way e-mail allows people to communicate regardless of which e-mail client they choose to use. Federated IM networks are those which maintain an open directory that allows other IM networks to message their users.
Many federated IM networks communicate using an open standard, such as Jabber/XMPP. IM Networks using XMPP provide open communications with other XMPP-based networks. Some federated networks work on the basis of interoperability where the software from two or more vendors share data between the different proprietary platforms.

Excellent location Great transport connections Clean Comfortable Wifi included Felt safe
Room is quite small Fittings are not very modern Not that many facilities
Clean, just a few steps from Union Square. Perfect for what I needed: good location, clean and low price in comparison to other hotels (because it is very simple). I really liked that even the remote control was clean!
Old hotel and furniture. It should be clearer that there is no breakfast.
This was good value for money and the room was relatively large. I was on the quiet side of the hotel so there was very little noise that was enough to disturb me. Also its one of the few hotels I have stayed in in this price range that had a bath! The location of this hotel is excellent and it was good value for money.
The hotel is quite dated but generally well maintained. The elevator had a slightly odd smell and on one day did smell unpleasant. No breakfast facilities but they do give you a discount for a restaurant which is about 30 seconds outside the main door.
The staff at this hotel was extremely helpful, kind and polite. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the common areas of the hotel are nice. The location is quite simply perfect, right near union square and by all the attractions. The Wi-fi works very well and on more than one device. The room was small, but nicely decorated and very clean.
I found my bed somewhat uncomfortable. Also, my room was noisy with of a "beeping" sound of sorts coming from the street. Sensitive sleepers might want to ask for quiet room.
Room are not big, but they're perfect for staying a couple of days!
Good location (walking distance to main downtown area); Staff very kind and diligent; Confortable Room for few days of stay
night rate is expensive for what you get if you compare it to other cities or locations. But It may be just SFO benchmark
Room size, price, no facilities, airport taxi ordered did not come
very noisy, thin walls
Close to the center of SF.
Way too noisy. Window out to a brick wall.
The location is very good, wi-fi worked properly, friendly stuff.
The hotel is way overpriced. It is very good in general, but 220 euro for one night in a 3-star hotel with no restaurant? Please.
Close to shopping and dining. Right on cable car line. You could feel the rich history in the building.
Room was small. Bathroom was ridiculously small. Mattress sloped to one side.
Staff were prompt and very friendly A 2-Minute walk to Union Square
Single rooms are too small No Safe No Refrigerator Room feels too used. New furniture should be placed and some remodeling.
The hotel was fine, small rooms, fairly quaint, no-frills, but free coffee and wifi. This is expected from the older hotels in San Francisco. If you want frills, then stay at a major chain, which is not that much more expensive than the older hotels. I normally choose hotels for location, and room comfort (quiet is a necessity), and the hotel is fine in those areas. Please read the negative comment, it was not the hotel's fault but it did cause me some hassle.
Most hotels take a credit card in advance, and then charge upon checkout, thus if you need to change/cancel a reservation it is possible with no or a minor charge. I had gotten pretty ill, so I called the hotel and informed them that I needed to cancel/change my reservation. They told me that it would still be a full charge because booking.com charges the card immediately and it is out of the hotels' control. Anyway, I did finally see the fine print on booking.com which says non-refundable. Anyway, this is something to be aware of, your card is charged immediately and cannot change/refund. I understand this if it was a discount hotel rate, but the booking.com rate was about the same as booking at the hotel. So, just be aware of this. I did end up going to the hotel and the stay was fine, even though I was still ill.
Amazing and relaxing place to stay. Insane location!
*Very friendly and helpful staff
*No A.C. *The room and bathroom were very small in comparison to other comparable hotels. *Nearly everything in the room was low quality ranging from the TV to the toilet paper provided.
The staff is top-notch. The location is perfect. It's old (I like old hotels).
It's old. Yeah, this is a minus, too. If I had been traveling on my own dime, I would have skipped this place. It was way too expensive for what it was, I don't care that it was San Francisco, an expensive city, this place is overpriced.
Front desk and consierge were great. Bed was comfortable. Walking distance to union square.
Very noisy at night (saturday)
It is suitably located in the center Staff is very helpful and polite
Even quick breakfast is missing but this is just a minor issue. There's plenty other facilities in the area
The price !
I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived, the hotel is really charming and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Travelling on my own I felt welcomed and well looked after.
The location is great for being central and easy to get around but with the single glazed windows you can hear some street noises at night.
Staff were very friendly. Location was lovely and I loved the hotel décor. Wifi had a strong signal. It was very clean and comfortable.
There was an incident with another guest outside my door at 3am where he was drunk and very noisy whilst locked out of his room, I felt that this incident took a long time to be sorted out. Sometimes the staff were a bit slow, I spent a long time waiting at the reception desk.
Staff on the main desk, was just unacceptable for a hotel like this. The gentleman on the main desk, just tossed the keys to us and that was the check in.
We loved the location. Place was clean, clean clean! The bed was super comfy, with several choices of pillows, a plus! Slept well, and we are light sleepers!
Bathroom was so tiny, I could have sat on the commode, and rested my head on the sink! It would have been great to have had 2 large towels per person, for what you pay, a bit more comfort goes a long way!
Location is ok, near Union Square, and price, though expensive, is in the lower end for the area. The staff were very helpful in arranging several things.
The room was tiny, very old and dusty. The walls were very thin and you could hear everything, both from the hallway and from the street. I didn't have a good sleep.
The hotel was clean and we had great service.

WITHOUT BILL BENNETT, there could not have been Steve Wynn. The man whom Michael Milken dubbed "the Sam Walton of Las Vegas" marketed Sin City to budget-conscious American consumers. This generated the wide customer base to which Wynn would pitch his upscale-but-affordable resorts, The Mirage and Treasure Island.
Before he could reinvent Vegas, Bennett had to remake himself. A college dropout and World War II naval aviator, Bennett returned to his native Phoenix after the war, entered the furniture business . . . and failed miserably. Fleeing the aftermath of bankruptcy, Bennett accepted a job as clerk at Del Webb's Sahara Tahoe casino. Applying himself with complete diligence to the gambling business, Bennett experienced a steady ascent that culminated with buying the failing Circus Circus from its eccentric, dissolute creator, Jay Sarno.
[Listen to author Jack Sheehan discuss his recent book on "KNPR's State of Nevada"]
Over the next 15 years, Bennett would delicately extricate Circus Circus from its Mob entanglements and "mainstream" the Strip's identity. He built aggressively in Laughlin when its main drag was still a dirt road. He cloned Circus Circus into the immensely lucrative Excalibur and the considerably more problematic Luxor. Problems associated with that Egyptian-themed casino, Bennett's increasingly erratic behavior and growing number of enemies all led to his ouster from the company he'd built. Retreating to the Sahara, Bennett spent his declining years in a miasma of illness, medication, paranoia and eccentricity -- as when he made his physical therapist the casino's president.
Despite its beautiful presentation, Forgotten Man (Jack Sheehan; Stephens Press, 228 pp.; $29.95) is a handsome shell, hackwork off the Jack Sheehan assembly line. Everything you need to know is in the lengthy introduction. The remaining chapters simply reiterate Bennett's saga in an indolent, "oral history" format pasted together from interview transcripts. The overlapping accounts go backwards and forwards so much that constructing a mental timeline of Bennett's life proves impossible. Nor has Sheehan bothered with simple fact-checking: The annual return from Excalibur is given as both 20 percent and 40 percent. An associate is described receiving an award from the Global Gaming Expo "[s]omewhere around 1990." G2E was not founded until 2001.
A pivotal figure like Bennett deserves a major biography, but this half-hearted effort must temporarily suffice.

November 25, 2014
The ice storm has passed but left behind down power lines causing many to go without power and some rural areas may have to wait a bit longer.
There are 1600 customers without power and about 1100 utility poles down in the cooperative. Crews are working non stop to restore power to the towns that have been left in the dark.
Brown- Atchison electric cooperative buys their power from Westar energy. With all the damage that both have seen, the power delivery points in Horton are not working. 50 percent of power has been restored, but they've still got a ways to go.
"At the present time we have 160 lineman from 6 different states working to restore power for a 3200 member cooperative that's a phenomenal amount...we were by virtue of our location and the way that we take our power we were probably the hardest hit cooperative in Kansas," says Rod Gerdes, General manager, Brown-Atchison Electric Cooperative.
The general manager also says he expects the power to be fully restored within a couple of days...but isolated areas should expect to wait about a week. Crews do plan to work through the holidays.

Hi everyone,
I have onbly brewed 2 batches so far, but I had the same off-flavor on both of them. It kinda reminds me of a plastic burned-rubber type of flavor so I suspect chlorophenol. I can taste it on the roof of the mouth.
I suspect chlorophenol, but I am not sure because I only noticed the taste after carbonation (in the bottle). Shouldn't it be present before botteling?
I'm from louisville, KY and the water is said to be good for brewing, but is it after removing chloramine? (we have about 2.7ppm).
Does anybody have any experience with this water? If people can make good beer with the same water and without removing the chloramine then I will have to find anoth cause for the off-flavor.
I also thought about an infection but my final gravity and carbonation were spot-on on both batches... so I don't know what to think...
Thanks for your help.
I'm also conscious that I could have more than one issue...
It does sound like chlorine/chloramine in the brewing water that is causing that taste (one of my friends called it "plastic burps").
You'll need to remove the chloramine since it doesn't boil off.
You can use 1/2 campden tablet per 10 gallons of water. Stir in a crushed and dissolved halved tablet, and let it sit for a few minutes. That's it!
Plastic like could quite possibly be chlorphenolics. Does your water authority use chloramine? See the Sticky on Campden tablets.
Burnt rubber, OTOH, suggest yeast autolysis. Was the beer transferred to the bottles clear? Is it carbonated by live yeast? Have the bottles been kept cold?
thanks for the quick repply.
I was just concern about the fact that I didn't notice it before bottling. Is it normal not to detect it in the fermenter?
(Oh, and I forgot: The 2 beers were a Belgian Wit and an Irish Red Ale, two fairly light beers. So, low alcool, low hoppiness etc...)
Actually that's quite a bit of chloramine and that's enough to focus attention as chloramine as the culprit. The 1 Campden tablet per 20 gal. recommendation is based on 3 mg/L so be sure to use that amount or follow the 'titration' procedure in the Sticky.
OK thanks. I will definitely do that. I read your sticky too by the way, thanks for sharing.
Does it seem normal to you that I didn't notice it at bottling time for both beers?
Now that I couldn't say. The only times I have ever tasted chloramines have been when judging competitions and I never, obviously, got a chance to taste those beers just out of the fermentor. Carbonation often brings out subtle flavors and convey aromas that wouldn't otherwise be noticed. That's one of the reasons we like carbonated beer. Perhaps that's behind it. OTOH we haven't proven it is chloramine yet though with your level if you don't do something remedial I would certainly expect you wind up with it. A couple of brews done with Campden tablets that are free of this taste should pretty much settle the question as to whether it is chloramine or not.
Be sure that I will use campden tablets on my next brew... It can only be better. And if it doesnt solve the problem I will know it doesn't comme from it.
But yeah, as you said: "we haven't proven it is chloramine yet". So if someone from louisville is passing by and have brewed without filtering chloramine, I would love to hear about the result. I would hate to screw a 3rd batch...

INDIANAPOLIS The only vehicle ever built by a now-defunct company that had planned to build high-tech police cars at an eastern Indiana factory is going on the auction block.
A federal bankruptcy court in Indianapolis granted Carbon Motors permission last week to auction off the sole police car ever made by the company. That prototype squad car includes bulletproof door and dash panels and radiation and biological threat detectors.
Carbon Motors had promised to bring 1,300 jobs to the economically challenged city of Connersville, but the startup firm entered bankruptcy in September 2011.
The Indianapolis Star reports the proceeds from the Jan. 23 sale by Indianapolis-based Key Auctioneers will help pay some of the $21.7 million the company owes private vendors and investors.

Schwalbe Hans Dampf Snakeskin TL Ready - 27.5in
Retail Price: $89.95buy now
Our Price: $63.00
Our Price: $63.00
Schwalbe has long been a leader in the 29er movement, providing options for all trail conditions. So, it comes as no surprise to see Schwalbe aggressively entering the 27. 5in (650b) arena. The Hans Dampf Snakeskin TL Ready - 27. 5in Tire is designed as a jack-of-all-trades tire that positions itself firmly between the fast-rolling Rocket Ron and tenacious Knobby Nic. Large tread blocks and a Snakeskin sidewall reinforcement places the Hans Dampf squarely in the 27. 5 all-mountain market. And with five-inch-plus travel full suspension bikes showing up in progressive manufacturers' stables, we expect to see this tire become very popular. This tire features Schwalbe's tubeless ready TL technology, meaning that it'll require sealant in order to complete the picture. Which, in our eyes, is no big deal, as sealant has proven to not only provide an air tight seal, but it also helps prevent flats down the road. Adding to that flat-resistant picture is the aforementioned Snakeskin sidewall. This is a nylon-fabric protection layer that's laminated to the sidewall in order to prevent cuts and abrasion from rocks. And while the added material does add heft to the Hans' waistline, it's only marginal when considering the added piece of mind. The Hans Dampf uses Schwalbe's 67tpi casing with a three-ply layer under the tread. That aggressive tread pattern is composed of Schwalbe's TrailStar compound -- a rubber mixture that contains carbon filler. This gives the Dampf a tough compound without hindering pliability. The result is a fast-rolling, aggressive tire. And for added cornering traction, Schwalbe also used a grippy, softer rubber for the side knobs. The Schwalbe Hans Dampf Snakeskin TL Ready - 27. 5in Tire is available in either a 2. 25 or 2. 35in tire width.

Political Parties Reap Data Mining Benefits
Political Parties Reap Data Mining Benefits
WASHINGTONBoth major U.S. political parties entered into a new era in the way they use the information they collect on voters throughout the United States.
Using new levels of sophistication in how they collect, clean and manipulate the information in their massive databases, the parties are able to predict with reasonable accuracy how individual voters will vote when they get to the polls, and to target voters individually where needed.
For example, the new level of sophistication allowed the Democratic National Committee to target specific voters in otherwise solidly Republican districts to get them to the polls on Election Day.
In the past, parties would target localities or districts with voter turnout efforts, which then failed to reach some voters because they lived areas that werent targeted.
While both parties have been doing some measure of voter targeting for the last decade or so, only now have they had the ability to manipulate the vast databases of voter data quickly enough to use it tactically in campaigns.
"One of the things that changed dramatically is the amount of data that people were able to use and have confidence in," said Gus Bickford, president of Factorum Productions in Westford, Mass., a company that consults with political operations and nonprofit groups in how they use databases.
Bickford is also an elected member of the Democratic National Committee in Washington.
It was Bickford who was responsible for bringing the DNC together with Intelligent Integration Systems of Boston, which was in turn responsible for setting up the DNCs database solution in time for the 2006 elections.
Read more here about what happens when technology and politics collide.
"The DNC had to change its technology in terms of the size of the data, and in the time you have to work with it in terms of cleaning it and matching it," Bickford said.
"Added to that is the time required for getting it in the field and then getting responses back from the field, and determining the metrics," he said.
Bickford said that one improvement that the DNC made was to move its databases to Netezza, a database appliance thats known for very high speed.
"When youre able to run your queries, the turn around time becomes less with Netezza," Bickford said.
He said that typical questions managers might ask are, "Are these groups the right ones? Are they likely to come out to vote?"
He said that using the voter data in their database, they were able to come up with better answers faster than in the past.
"The DNC is using Netezza to analyze large amounts of data," said Ellen Rubin, vice president of Marketing for Netezza in Framingham, Mass. "Theyre working to get out the vote for the election."
Next Page: Deadline demands.
Deadline Demands
Rubin said that because the DNC was working with an unmovable deadlineElection Daythe organization depended on the analysis speed of its database so that it could move faster and react more quickly to changing conditions.
"They had over 900 fields for each one of the data records," Rubin said. "The challenge is to understand who these people are, and to figure out what kind of relationship there was in the past, and how to reach them in time for the election."
Rubin said that a lot of work was required to match voter lists with other databases to ensure that contact information was correct and complete.
"You can cause a lot of problems when you have the wrong information," she said.
Making sure the information is actually correct is a big problem.
"We have vast voter databases that we update and keep current and constantly tweaked to make sure they have optimal working value for each election cycle," said Josh Holmes, deputy press secretary for the Republican National Committee in Washington.
"The information we can retain is all valuable in determining voting patterns," Holmes said.
"Our database is not one where we feel that too much information is too much. The more information we can add and overlay is better."
This means, of course, that the data being retained by the Republican Party is as vast as it is with the Democratic Party.
Part of the reason theres so much information is that the parties both retain data that goes far beyond voter registration lists.
"It starts with basic voter registration and party registration data," Holmes said.
"Then there are things like hunting licenses and other publicly available information," he said, "and then theres consumer data information such as magazine subscriptions. Theres no one thing. Its a combination of information that gives you the picture you want to see."
One of the reasons that Bickford and the DNC decided to use Netezzas database appliance is performance.
In many cases, especially with the give and take of a close election, voter targeting at the last minute can pay big dividends.
"It gave them something theyd never had before. We were able to turn [queries] around in a much shorter amount of time," Bickford said.
Next Page: Handling data.
Handling Data
He also said that finding ways to handle large amounts of data, even in a high performance environment remained a problem.
Part of the answer was to call in some people with the right experience.
"The key people had worked on the genomic project and figured out how to use large amounts of data," Bickford said.
"The data is able to be massaged at the field level, and it moved us into the next generation," he said.
Holmes said that how the data is handled also has a big impact on performance.
He points out that standard queries can be performed very quickly, for example.
"It can be done just as quickly as you can sort through a spreadsheet," he said.
"If you need to redo the search item to target a specific area you havent targeted before, then its longer."
Holmes said that exactly how much longer depends on the data being searched for and the complexity of the query.
Both parties have moved beyond the simple targeting of groups.
"The piece that I would stress is the fact that its no longer that youre targeting neighborhoods, wards or districts," Holmes said.
"You used to focus on them. Thats not as efficient as what we have now. Were able to turn out Republican votes, not only in Republican areas, but in areas that dont have high Republican support."
Bickford said he had the same problem: "Who are the people who will vote, but are less likely unless you light a fire under them?" he asked.
He said that in many cases, they would be voters who might have Democratic leanings, but who didnt get the information they needed because they werent identified as Democrats, or didnt live in Democratic areas.
Bickford pointed to one New Hampshire election in which the party needed more than just the voters they always relied on.
So the DNC used data mining to identify new voters and send them mail.
"It was used in a seven-piece mail program," Bickford said. "It targeted older unenrolled men and all women," in other words, voters who were registered to vote, but not registered as being in a specific political party.
"People not registered in a specific party are the swing voters," he said.
Both parties are also continuously working on their databases.
"You can never rest on your laurels," Bickford said. "The majority of the planning you do, and continue to question whether your plans are working or not."
Holmes said that the Republican Party is already working on the databases for the next election.
"There are people who are working today," he said. "Its a 365-day-a-year job, and it doesnt take a break after the election cycle. Theyre already matching database up with the voter outcome."
Both parties drew much of what theyve learned from the business community, and they say they think that their lessons are directly transferable.
Holmes said that micro-targeting is working well for his party, and he thinks it has applications outside of politics.
Just like its important for companies to keep track of their customers wants and needs, he said, its also important to the political parties.
"It allows you to not take a single voter for granted," he said.
