Brayton Point is one of the biggest polluters for all of New England
By Sylvia Broude, Executive Director,Toxics Action Center.
Yesterday, the new owners of the Brayton Point power plant, New England's largest coal-fired power plant, notified ISO-New England, the operator of the New England electricity grid, that they are closing down in 2017. Sold to Energy Capital Partners, a New Jersey-based energy investment company, barely one month ago, and only a year after completing a $1 billion upgrade of the plant to install pollution controls, Brayton Point Energy, LLC filed a "Non-Price Retirement Request" indicating that the plant will be retired by no later than June 2017.
This is big news for local residents who have been working for years for cleaner air and a healthier environment for Somerset and the rest of Southeastern Massachusetts. Brayton Point is one of the biggest polluters for all of New England. According to the U.S. EPA in 2008, Brayton Point emitted more than 37,000 tons of toxic chemicals into the air Studies show this pollution doesn't only affect Somerset: the majority spreads and settles in cities and towns across a 30-mile radius from the power plant. Mercury has always been a major concern because it is a neurotoxin, with no safe levels of exposure, and in 2010, Brayton Point was responsible for nearly half of all mercury emissions for the state of Massachusetts.
But Brayton Point hasn't been the only source of pollution for Southeastern Massachusetts: for more than 50 years, Somerset hosted two coal-burning power plants, including a power plant called Somerset Station LLC that operated for much of the 20th century and closed its doors in 2010. With an economy based around coal power generation, Somerset needs all the help it can get to work towards a new, healthier and thriving economy. Now the real fight begins in transitioning this former coal community towards a 21st century innovation economy.
Toxics Action Center, Clean Water Action, and other members of Coal Free Massachusetts, have organized side by side with local community group Coalition for Clean Air South Coast for years to plan ahead for a transition away from coal at Brayton Point. The community made it clear that they wanted a healthier economy for Somerset, and the new owner listened. We hope Energy Capital Partners will join local residents at the table to discuss cleanup and reuse and negotiate a transition plan with power plant workers. Somerset can be a model for other coal communities in New England to shift away from archaic dirty energy and towards clean industry, renewable energy, and the innovation economy.
We hope Energy Capital Partners will take responsibility for decommissioning and cleanup when Brayton Point closes, and work with local and state leaders to attract new development. We've seen communities across the country successfully redevelop coal plant sites, and we need to make that vision a reality here. Because Somerset and other coal host communities deserve to remain whole.

Toxics Action Center - A New England-wide public health and environmental non-profit that organizes with communities to clean up and prevent pollution

Peregrine Financial of Chicago allegedly ignored red flags and let Ponzi schemer Trevor Cook do as he pleased.
The receiver rounding up assets for the victims of Trevor Cook's Ponzi scheme filed a federal lawsuit this week seeking at least $48 million from a Chicago-based futures broker and currency dealer alleged to have facilitated the fraud.
Peregrine Financial Group's (PFG) pursuit of profit caused it to turn a blind eye to "overwhelming red flags of fraud or insolvency" in the trades Cook and his associates had executed through the firm, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by receiver R.J. Zayed.
Cook, who is serving 25 years in prison, admitted to bilking more than 700 investors -- mostly retirees -- out of $194 million. The deception is the second-largest known fraud in Minnesota history.
Cook or his associates placed $48.28 million in trades through PFG from mid-2005 through June 2009 and lost $30 million in the process, according to the suit. The futures trades took place on regulated exchanges. The currency trades, known in the industry as forex trades or currency swaps, occurred over the counter with the investor on one side of the transactions and PFG, acting as a commission merchant, on the other.
"Cook and his cohorts marketed the currency program using fraudulent representations that read like a laundry list of the classic hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme," the suit says. It says PFG ignored the warnings to keep Cook's business.
PFG did not respond to a request for comment.
Cook, his associates and various business entities they controlled held at least 26 accounts at PFG, the suit says. The trades placed by Cook and his cohorts made them important customers for PFG, which had about $203 million in customer equity in 2006, the suit says. In addition, one of his entities, UBS Diversified, acted as an "introducing broker" and was paid to refer investors to the firm.
PFG knew or should have known that Cook had previous regulatory sanctions over alleged dishonesty, yet it took no special steps to scrutinize his transactions, according to the lawsuit. On the contrary, PFG's dealings with Cook and his group violated the firm's own internal compliance rules as well as standard regulations for such transactions, the suit says.
For instance, the suit says, PFG essentially let Cook act as an unregistered, illegal commodity pool operator.
Cook routinely commingled funds between accounts held by different owners to cover margin calls, the suit says, "a major red flag of potential fraud or insolvency" and a violation of industry rules and practices. Legitimately separate companies that are trading their own money do not casually and repeatedly contribute funds to accounts held by others, the suit says.
"So long as PFG avoided being stuck with a financial loss from a customer who could not meet a margin call, it really did not seem to care what Cook did, or where the money came from," the suit says.
Cook tried desperately to keep PFG from contacting his investors directly, which the suit calls "an obvious, and ominous indication of fraud." But it says Cook had PFG cowed, fearful that he would take his business elsewhere.
Cook and some associates, called "Ponzi principals" in the lawsuit, repeatedly violated several laws by making false and misleading statements to investors. One example cited is a claim that one of Cook's entities had more than $4 billion in assets under management.
"Had PFG taken even minimal steps to confirm the accuracy of this extraordinary representation ... PFG would have discovered that Cook and the other Ponzi Principals were running an investment scheme," the suit says.
Ultimately, the suit says, PFG employees helped Cook create the illusion that an account had achieved a certain return. "By this point, if not before, PFG was no longer merely choosing to ignore the obvious fraud by Cook, but was actually participating in it," the suit says.

Pair of events draw upward of 12,000 visitors
This weekend won't quite rival the twice-a-year High Point Market, but it may be as close as the city gets with two major events drawing visitors from across the East Coast and beyond.
Upward of 12,000 people are expected to visit High Point for the Furniture City Classic Soccer Tournament and the High Point University Welcome Week and Move In. The tournament, taking place at soccer fields across the city, is estimated to draw 8,000 players, families, coaches and fans from four states. Games take place from Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon.
The university estimates between 4,000 and 5,000 people will come to the city as HPU welcomes its largest freshman class of 1,400 students. The students will move in throughout Saturday, with other events such as convocation taking place Sunday.
Both events rank among the top 10 conventions this year for the city other than the spring and fall furniture markets, according to the High Point Convention & Visitors Bureau. The combined economic impact of the two events pushes toward $4 million, the bureau estimates.
Liberty Steakhouse & Brewery already reaped the benefits Friday of the Furniture City Classic Soccer Tournament and HPU Welcome Week and Move In. Lunch business was heavier than a normal Friday, said Assistant General Manager Heather Hoffman. The restaurant expects to stay busy at least through Sunday evening.
"Last year we were as busy Sunday night as we were Saturday night," Hoffman told The High Point Enterprise.
The Courtyard by Marriott hotel in High Point was fully booked for Friday and Saturday nights, said Assistant General Manager Iva Panayotova.
"It's one of our busiest times," she said.

Rihanna Booted from Mosque for Vagina Lips
By fucked up Middle Eastern nation standards, Abu Dhabi is maybe a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10 in jihad craziness. They do love them some crappy Western culture. But they insist on a few Islamic type rules. Even visiting women must be covered head to toe lest men feel desire in their robes and be forced to punish those wanton whores with a light raping and stoning. Rihanna was in country over the weekend and obliged the cover up part, but couldn't resist striking a few racy poses outside the country's grand mosque. She was also wearing red lipstick which is a no-no because apparently it looks too much like a vagina. I'm looking now. Fair enough. So, the religious police kicked Rihanna and her mouth snatch out of the mosque while the chief Imam hurled insults about her being no Miley Cyrus. Tough venue.

Chris Brown Called That Time He Beat Up Rihanna A 'Wake-Up Call'
In a new interview with The Guardian, Chris Brown opens up about a lot of aspects of his life, from his claim that he lost his virginity at age 8 so he could get started on becoming the greatest sexual being this world has ever known to his belief that the media makes everything up about him and he's actually a good little boy who just accidentally gets into trouble. But the biggest thing that he talked about was that time that he bounced Rihanna's face off the window of his car, which he now refers to as a "wake-up call."
"But at the same time, I learned from it," he continued, "and it was almost like… I wouldn't say it happened for a reason, but it was something to trigger my mind to be more of a mature adult. To handle myself in situations, don't throw tantrums, don't be a baby about it." Funny, I remember a lot of the tantrums my little sister threw when she was young, yet I don't recall any of them ending in this.

Oh, No, Rihanna Is Raunchy In Her New Music Video
How many times can people make a story about Rihanna being raunchy on stage or in her music videos. Yeah, I get it, stripper pole and twerking and showing off her tits. Crazy. We've not seen that before since yesterday and the day before. It's like Starfleet getting pissy about Kirk going rogue. At some point, it's just no longer worth a scolding lecture. But that doesn't mean you still can't look at her tits and all. There's journalism and then there's whack material, and never the twain shall meet. This is the latter.

Coca-Cola Jumps as Pepsi Hikes Syrup Prices
Coca-Cola (KO) shares jumped 8% Monday after Pepsico (PEP), the soft drink company's only major competitor, told analysts it would raise syrup prices in near-perfect lock step with Coke.
Coke shares gained 4 7/8 to close at 65 3/8, while shares of Pepsi gained 1 13/16 to 36 5/16.
Profits have been flat at both companies recently. Analysts said that Coke's 7% syrup price increase, announced to its bottlers last week, had caused uncertainty in the soft drink sector.
"What's Pepsi going to do?" said Ann Gurkin, analyst for Davenport & Co. "Is Pepsi going to try to grab up market share?"The answer came Friday, when Pepsi told its bottlers it would raise syrup prices 6.9%. If any uncertainty about the soft drink market was left on Wall Street Monday, Merrill Lynch apparently dispelled it. The firm released a research report raising its rating from hold to buy. Merrill cited improving economic conditions in worldwide markets, as well as increasing sales volumes and better inventory management on the part of bottlers. Gurkin, who has buy ratings on both Coke and Pepsi, said the price increases indicate that both companies have decided to focus on growing profits, not market share. "It's the bottlers we really like," she said. Gurkin rates both Coca-Cola Bottling Group (CCE) and Pepsi Bottling Group (PBG) buys. Her firm doesn't do underwriting. Shares of the Coke bottlers, which are responsible for about 70% of domestic Coke sales, gained 5/8 to 22 9/16, while shares of the Pepsi bottlers, which handle more than 50% of domestic sales, gained 15/16 to 17 7/16. World market conditions aside, Coke has a long way to go to improve its penetration of world markets, said Brian Eisenbarth, analyst for Collins & Co. Raising prices could push up profits, but doing so also carries risks, he said. "The only risk in doing that is that you could have a falloff in volume, but volumes are pretty flat anyway," said Eisenbarth, whose firm hasn't done underwriting for any of the soda companies. Pepsi's announcement partially allayed that concern, he added. He rates Coke a hold and Pepsi a buy. "We haven't heard anything from Cadbury (CSG) yet," he said jokingly, referring to the maker of Dr. Pepper. "They're next. That would be the third shoe."

FNC's Linda Vester Starts Maternity Leave
"Here it is, the last Vesterblog!," FNC's Linda Vester blogged on Friday. As first reported here on TVNewser, Vester is going on maternity leave for a year.
"I'd like to thank my boss, Fox News Chairman and CEO of Fox News Channel, Roger Ailes, for so generously giving me the time off to go home and be a mommy," she writes. "As much as I will miss my FOX family and all of you, deep in my heart, I know I'm doing the right thing for my children. But it's only a year, and I'm sure the time will fly by. To all of you who have wished me luck with the pregnancy, thank you!"
So, as we asked two weeks ago, who will host 'Dayside?' (Will there even be a 'Dayside?')

Premier League team news: Everton v Crystal Palace
On-loan striker Lacina Traore is set to make his Everton debut against Crystal Palace at Goodison Park on Wednesday but it will be from the bench.
The Monaco forward was an unused substitute in Sunday's defeat at Tottenham but manager Roberto Martinez is keen to give him some pitch time at home.
Fellow on-loan striker Romelu Lukaku is still a week away from fitness while defender Antolin Alcaraz has returned to training but will not be match-ready until the start of March.
Crystal Palace have no fresh fitness concerns ahead for the trip up north.
Tom Ince and fellow new signing Joe Ledley scored in Saturday's defeat of West Brom, while defender Scott Dann also made his debut in the fixture.
Striker Glenn Murray (knee) and winger Jerome Thomas (calf) came off the bench at Selhurst Park after long injury absences, with both again likely to be substitutes at Goodison Park.
Everton squad: Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Barry, McCarthy, Mirallas, Barkley, Pienaar, Naismith, Robles, Hibbert, Stones, McGeady, Osman, Deulofeu, Traore.
Crystal Palace squad: Speroni, Hennessey, Gabbidon, Moxey, Mariappa, Delaney, Dann, McCarthy, Ward, Parr, Murray, Thomas, Jedinak, Dikgacoi, Ledley, O'Keefe, Bannan, Williams, Bolasie, Ince, Puncheon, Gayle, Jerome, Chamakh, Wilbraham.

Top Local Tips for Roseau
Dive Dominica Scuba diving is fantastic loaded with lots of exotic creatures like seahorse and frog fish. Dive Dominica was top notch but you have to arrange your own transportation to and from the shop which is just outside Roseau. 2 tank dives leaving at 8:45 am and back by 1 pm.
Sunday at Pearl's + Framer's Market The Sunday fare at Pearl's Cuisine was out of this world. The most amazing Creole food. Nice views of the town on the balcony. This was a highlight of my trip! Located on King George. We also really enjoyed the market (don't remember the day of the week) -- very lively with so much great produce. You can pick up cheap used clothes for jungle hiking and t-shirts to snorkel in.

"It's Tuesday. We are live as we speak here at Television Centre. I have one of the towering giants of British music next to me; you may indeed recognise him. I think it's going to suggest to you the sort of evening we've got in store..."Featuring an array of performers from all over the world and representing an eclectic range of genres, this long-running BBC series is one of the last great music showcases on British television. Originating in 1992 as a spin-off from the earlier nineties evening arts programme The Late Show, Later... has long since outlasted its parent show and made its presenter, former Squeeze keyboard player Jools Holland, the face of British music TV (a role to which he first aspired on Channel 4's 80s series The Tube).Initially recorded on a Tuesday and broadcast on the Friday of the same week, 2008 saw the introduction of Later... Live, a half-hour version of the programme broadcast live on Tuesday nights, followed up by the full-length pre-recorded edition on Friday. Aside from the substantial range of artists and styles covered in the programme's eighteen years, Later is noted for several unique features:

Experience with PHP 5.4.x
Hi guys,
I am curious what you think about the "current" major PHP version.
Do you use it? For me 5.3.x is still the road to go but I would like to get some input from you.
Do you have any problems with scripts? Any incompatibilities?
I'm running PHP 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 on my servers. I have to use PHP 5.3 for TYPO3 and Drupal 7 because they have some problems with PHP 5.4. All other apps (WordPress, Joomla, Contao, Magento, Shopware, Oxid) run fine on 5.4.

Students at Sunset Ridge Middle were called to the gym for an anti-bullying assembly, but what they found was a free concert by the rising star boy band 'Beyond 5' and the crowd-pumping playful antics of the Jazz Bear. Both were on hand to help the Utah Anti-bullying Coalition share a serious message about treating one another with respect. Members of 'Beyond 5' spoke about not judging one another and sharing love rather than hate. They danced and performed several of their hit songs to the delight of students who were somewhat star struck. Thanks to the Utah Anti-Bullying Coalition for their support in making our schools bully-free zones. Enjoy a photo gallery on our Facebook page.

Pumpkin Patch Comes to Kauri Sue Students
Going to the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect Halloween pumpkin is an exciting experience for children everywhere and students at the Kauri Sue Hamilton School are no exception. The pumpkin patch came to them thanks to employees and inmates at the Utah State Prison. Every year, the inmates grow pumpkins from donated seeds, then paint some of the pumpkins and deliver them to children throughout the Valley with multiple disabilities or to children who are hospitalized. This year was a bumper crop of 2,000 and Kauri Sue students were grinning from ear to ear as they proudly picked out their very own pumpkins. Thanks to everyone involved in this wonderful program for bringing smiles to these beautiful children. Enjoy a photo gallery on our Facebook page.
Students Inspired by Utah Symphony
Students don't always have the opportunity to get all dressed up and attend the nationally acclaimed Utah Symphony at Abravanel Hall in downtown Salt Lake City. However hundreds of Jordan School District students put on their Sunday best when they heard the Symphony was coming to them. As part of a professional outreach program funded by the state legislature, members of the Symphony hit the road and perform educational concerts at schools throughout the entire state. Jordan District was honored to have them perform to hundreds of elementary and secondary students at Bingham High School. Orchestra students were even allowed to meet some of the musicians one-on-one and ask questions about instruments and a career in the Symphony. This is a great opportunity for children to consider and explore different musical opportunities. Thank you to conductor David Yavornitzky and the Utah Symphony for the amazing performances and allowing our young people to experience something so special. Enjoy a photo gallery on our Facebook page.

What's new? What's hot? What's next? TLC's celebrity genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are? doesn't give a hoot about the zeitgeist — certainly not when the past is so damn dramatic! Executive producer Lisa Kudrow gives the scoop on the new season (premiering Wednesday at 9/8c), kicking off tonight with a former Sex and the City star making a horrifying discovery.
TV Guide Magazine: You guys help Cynthia Nixon research her great-great-great grandmother, who, it turns out, was a victim of domestic violence. To save herself, she killed her husband with an ax between the eyes. Who needs fiction?Lisa Kudrow: Real life is much more riveting and powerful. We were bug-eyed by that story! And you know what's even crazier? Our other stars this season are Valerie Bertinelli, Rachel McAdams, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Kelsey Grammer, and they all had a murderer in the family, except Kelsey. What are the chances?
TV Guide Magazine: Genealogy has exploded in popularity, thanks to the Internet. Is it getting easier for the show to track down info?Kudrow: In some ways it's harder because archives are closing down due to lack of funding. And we're always limited by time. But this season we uncover documents that are record-breaking for the genealogy community. Our team is thrilled!
TV Guide Magazine: Do stars ever back out because this show is just too personal?Kudrow: Absolutely, and we respect that. Sometimes they'll talk to their family and the family says, "Nope. Not for us." You gotta be ready for whatever unfolds, and things were so much tougher and shocking back then.
TV Guide Magazine: Isn't that one of the big messages of your show — that we should be grateful for how easy we have it now?Kudrow: This is a nation of survivors, people who have dealt with unbelievable tragedy and famine and danger and hardship. Then there's all the stuff that irritates us today and makes us freak out and fall apart. No comparison.

Dflux, Anabel
Biography –
"I'm Anabel Dflux, a self-taught photographer in California. Photography is my passion, a dream I turned into a reality. In 2009 I started my own photographic service on a whim and a wish, and I now own Deliquesce-Flux Photography.
I've been a fan of rock and metal music since I was very young, which led to a room full of CDs and walls adorned with posters, ultimately covering every inch of spare space. Due to my love of music, my artistic interest quickly aligned with concert photography. I was inspired to begin photographing the kind of music that played such an important role in my life.
I was already a working photographer when I chose to begin shooting concerts. I was known for photographing animal sports and doing portraits for local musicians. Applying everything I had learned from shooting fast paced action to capturing the personality of edgy rockers, concert photography was a clever mix of both!
Living near Hollywood provided me with opportunities to shoot a multitude of bands in some of the most famous music venues. The intense passion of the crowd and stage presence of the musicians made photographing concerts one of the most amazing experiences in the world. My goal has always been to capture the atmosphere through the lens; I want people to feel that energy!
In 2012, my concert photography was featured at the RAWartists Menagerie Gallery show at the Key Club in Hollywood, CA. My photography has been published in Blistering Magazine, Ladies of Steampunk Magazine, as well as used by record labels and the bands themselves.
I look forward to sharing the epic qualities of music with everyone- starting with HardRockHaven!"

Animal House, House, House
Nobody ever went to class,
Then we saw Donald Sutherland's ass
Then they did the end like American Graffiti,
Where you find out what happened to everyone
— Homer Simpson's unique summary of Animal House, to the tune of the Animal House theme songPerhaps the best known of all the National Lampoon movies, Animal House is a 1978 film about the wacky hijinx of the members of the Delta fraternity at "Faber College" in 1962-63, as they fight against the snooty Omegas and the uptight dean Vernon Wormer.Directed by John Landis, Animal House launched the film career of Saturday Night Live cast member John Belushi. Inspired dozens of Follow the Leader takes on the raunchy college frat movie, including some by National Lampoon themselves. Spawned a spinoff TV series called Delta House, which only lasted one season. And perhaps most imporantly, revived the popularity of movies featuring teenagers and younger twentysomethings, which had been largely absent from movie screens for about a decade.Written by a guy from Harvard (who gave himself one line: "What the hell we s'pose to do, ya mo-RON"), advised by a guy from Dartmouth; and if you happen to visit the latter you can buy all sorts of Animal House-themed memorabilia in the co-op.May hold the record for most releases ever on the notorious MCA Discovision label, and also one of the earliest 2-hour videodisc releases.

Facing is a common tool in the retail industry to create the look of a perfectly stocked store by pulling all of the products on a display or shelf to the front, as well as down stacking all the canned and stacked items. It is also done to keep the store appearing neat and organized. The workers who perform this task normally have jobs doing other things in the store such as customer service, stocking shelves, daytime cleaning, bagging and carry outs, etc. In some stores, however, facing is done only by the stockers. Facing is generally done near closing time when there are fewer customers and also while the store is completely closed. In busier stores it may be done constantly. In department stores it may be referred to as recovery, as in the store is recovering from the rush of customers that affect the model appearance the store wants to portray. Merchandise may be put in the wrong area, or customers may leave debris on the floor. Correcting these issues is a part of the recovery process. Facings also refer to the amount of shelf space a particular product is given. A lot of facing generally increases sales of a particular product, therefore manufacturers will pay more money to get more facings for their products. This inevitably leads to situations where the largest manufacturers end up with the most facings because they are able to pay the most.

Phil Jackson's head-scratching play call
Q: If you're a coach, what do you do when a) your team is down by three points with 3.1 seconds remaining in the game, b) your team possesses the most-feared crunch-time assassin in the NBA, c) your team badly needs a win for team morale, and d) homecourt advantage for a potential Finals rematch against the Orlando Magic is on the line?
A: You design a play to get Pau Gasol a contested three-pointer at the top of the key, obviously.
With his Los Angeles Lakers trailing the Portland Trail Blazers by three points, Phil Jackson decided against giving the ball to Kobe Bryant. Or even Derek Fisher. Or Ron Artest. Or any other Laker who had hit at least one three-pointer at some point this season. Jackson instead designed a play for Gasol, he of (at the time) only four three-point attempts this year. He of four misses, too.
Kobe Bryant said of Jackson's head-scratching decision, "When have you ever seen me set a damn down-screen? That was interesting. [Jackson] just drew it up. I just cracked up."
I don't think it's ever a good sign when your star player "cracks up" at a late-game play call.
Bryant later said he was "very concerned" with the Lakers play right now, but Jackson's play calling showed that he doesn't share much of Kobe's concern. To him, the regular season has clearly devolved into nothing more than a joke.

Let's Not Lose Sight Of The Real Power Of Programmatic
"Marketer's Note" is a regular column informing marketers about the rapidly evolving, digital marketing technology ecosystem. It is written by Joanna O'Connell, Director of Research, AdExchanger Research.
Call me naïve but I believe in the open exchange model. I always have. Something about the battle of wits it promises always spoke to me: The buyer who actively seeks out data, and who knows how to make sense of it, will make the smartest real-time bidding decisions – whether it's bid/no bid or a really smart pricing decision – that add up, impression by impression, to the most optimal media spend, beating out its competitors in the process. In this model you don't have to be the biggest agency or marketer to succeed; you simply have to be really hands-on and smart. Whoever is smartest with data wins.
I've keenly watched, therefore, the evolution of direct programmatic deals over the last several years, with a tinge of sadness, I admit. Sadness, because these deals are not so much about intelligence driving competitive advantage as they are about buying clout ruling the day, i.e., the biggest buyers can bully sellers on price because they control big piles of money – programmatic, then, just serves as the transactional mechanism. In this model, the bigger you are, the "better" you'll do.
I'd argue though that simply getting the best rates isn't enough. That's media buying circa 2002. We're smarter than that now, and we should act that way. I don't dispute that there are many, many large buyers who are also smart – they are bringing proprietary data (or data models) to bear on those direct deals to help them make the most intelligent decisions possible. But I would bet you there are plenty of big buyers who are still primarily focused on price – on banging programmatic sellers down on rate and calling it a win.
This week's Marketer's Note is underwritten by MediaMath.
Outcomes. Transparency. Control.
Base your marketing on goals not guesses. Watch the video. Visit www.MediaMath.com.
I hope – naively? – that this is simply a case of the pendulum swinging back (it's all about exchanges!) and forth (it's all about programmatic direct!) before eventually settling at a place somewhere in the middle: Intelligent real-time decisioning, as pioneered in the open exchange model, sitting on top of the operationally efficient infrastructure of a massive web of programmatic deals is considered standard operating procedure for any big buyer using programmatic*.
Television ecosystem, I hope you're listening.
I'll step down off my soapbox now and take your comments!
*Incidentally, there's a very interesting conversation to be had about the future of the open exchanges. I see a place for them. But as GroupM's Ari Bluman famously noted, open exchanges won't be a part of their buying strategy in the long term. (Xaxis' Brian Lesser, for his part, did not take that same stand in a recent discussion on the subject.) A topic for another day…

I'd submit that it's not so much about price for buyers and sellers as it is revenue, and that element is pushing both sides to structure deals in programmatic in a particular way.
Publishers, I think, are typically more than happy to provide incentives for buyers on price if they can get them to spend more absolute dollars and make a commitment to spend at a certain level. In many ways the open exchange model is a terrifying place relative to the status quo (in a way programmatic direct is not - full disclosure that I work for a company the provides programmatic direct solutions for publishers) for publishers simply because that world tends to come without any commitments on spend.
So, while it's strange to think that publishers in particular wouldn't encourage an egalitarian marketplace among buyers from a yield perspective (why not let the buyers all bid themselves up?), I think it's a rational point of view from the revenue perspective.
One of the big questions marks in my mind is how the industry will reconcile the benefits of real-time decisioning (spending) for buyers with the risk of real-time selling (earning) for publishers. Perhaps publishers will just have to swallow that bitter pill in the long run, but you can't expect them to embrace it at this point given the increased risk to their business model.
I hear you, Ben. I'm pushing for buyers to be smarter and step up their game, but I anticipate that won't naturally appeal to sellers - why would it? It's arguably a control question - who controls the decisioning? On what parameters? This is the perennial rub - the natural tension between the buy side and sell side that is inherent in the advertising business. Great points - thank you.
Hey guys
Can't you argue this is buyers being "smart". They're using their known leverage (volume & spend) in their favor.
Joanna- they're just not using it in the way you'd like.

Great piece Joanna.
While I agree that the output of the programmatic revolution should not just be about lower rates, I don't expect we'll be living in an advertising democracy anytime soon either.
To date, cost has been the single biggest value prop for buying through an Open Exchange. The dynamism of the market and the buyer's ability to procure inventory in real-time via auction often nets a lower cost per impression, which is a benefit to any advertiser, big or small.
But I don't think we will ever see a huge shift toward RTB buying on Open Exchanges. In addition to all the reasons Joanna refers to (legacy rate cards, volume, relationships, and larger sponsorships), there is a bigger issue: advertisers' need for assurance. This is something we see out in the field every day at Videology, where over 90% of our clients buy video ads in a reserved fashion. Brands want assurance about what they are getting – they want a guaranteed outcome. While a local car wash can take the risk that their ad will deliver below expectations, a major global retailer with carefully calculated investments and goals cannot.
The TV Upfront is a great example of this. The reason such a high percentage of media is still bought in the Upfront is because buyers want guaranteed volume: fixed costs, flighting to match weekly GRP goals, and assurance that their ad will run when they want it to. Imagine Macy's getting outbid by Kohl's a week before Black Friday, or a movie launch failing to hit a reach goal before opening weekend because a sudden spike in demand ate up all the supply!
Advertisers are willing to pay a premium for a sure thing, particularly if a brand's communication plan is tied to a specific event. An advertiser cannot let market forces dictate whether or not a there will be the opportunity to communicate with consumers at a specific point in time.
In the end, there is likely greatest value in a balanced approach: Upfront, Scatter and Opportunistic (RTB) all have their place in a media buying strategy. Relying solely on one method, such as Open Exchanges or any other, is a dangerous approach. The real value of Programmatic is not in creating democracy or changing the media infrastructures that have been in place for many decades; it's about making these processes more efficient, more accessible, and more valuable through data and automation.
I disagree with one point in particular, Brian. The "single biggest value prop for buying through an Open Exchange" probably was lower CPMs at first... but today, the greatest benefit comes from targeting impressions based on data. Joanna framed it well in this article: the most data savvy buyers, those who use data effectively (and deferentially, I might add) to turn ads into a service and to allow themselves to be discovered in a consumer's moment of need--those are the ones who will win.
Full disclosure: I'm a former [x+1] guy now at Forrester (no overlap with Joanna). At Forrester, we've been talking for some time about the evolution of search marketing in particular into discovery marketing. This idea of making your brand discoverable (moving marketing moments from brand push to consumer pull) will pervade all digital advertising, especially as consumers themselves learn more about how their data are gathered, stored, and used, and they take more control over their digital identities.

Huddersfield 0-0 Colchester: Match Report
Bennett makes pointTwo brilliant saves in stoppage time from veteran keeper Ian Bennett earned Huddersfield a point from a goalless draw against Colchester.Bennett, 39, first dived at the feet of substitute Kayode Odejayi in the 90th minute after the Nigerian striker was put through by Anthony Wordsworth.He then parried Odejayi's goalbound header at the near post following a teasing cross from the left by Wordsworth.At the other end, a brilliant save from Ben Williams was the highlight of Colchester's rearguard action as they resisted a second-half barrage to earn a valuable point.Williams, a former Manchester United trainee, acrobatically tipped a close-range bullet header from Huddersfield's Jamie McCombe after 60 minutes.
