Add to that, don't we already have all the information (better still, example code) we need to create inkscape software targeted for these plotters?

BlackBlack was a rock band from Los Angeles, California, consisting of Diva Dompe (vocals/bass), Lola Dompe (drums), and Clark Schädelkopf (guitar).
Diva Dompe started the band in 2004 with her sister Lola and boyfriend Alex Greenwald, who performed as his alter-ego "Clark Schädelkopf" [2] in the context of the band. Schädelkopf means "skullhead" in German. The Dompe sisters are both daughters of Bauhaus drummer Kevin Haskins.[3]
They have channeled their fantastical and sci-fi leanings into their shows. Prepping for past gigs included dressing as if they were starring in the Ice Capades, crafting massive Native American headresses, and making vats of theatrical blood in the Dompe family kitchen for a Carrie-themed summertime barbecue at The Echo in Echo Park.
Many people believed that they got their name from the caffeinated Japanese gum, BlackBlack, but Clark has said that the meaning is "blacker than black."
Some criticized Blackblack because they thought that it was a random side project for the already successful Alex Greenwald, but they have steadily gained recognition, especially in Los Angeles and Japan.
Recently the band has come under some harsh criticism for reportedly performing in blackface, although the band claims that they painted their skin to perform as 'shadows' and did it "just to be scary" and didn't intend to be racially offensive.[4]
The band, especially the Dompe sisters, are often noted for their quirky and constantly shifting fashion choices, going so far as to appear on the front page of the Urban Outfitters website.[5]

BlackBlack has a moody, gloomy sound, reminiscent of The Velvet Underground and Joy Division.[citation needed] Clark Schädelkopf tells ElleGirl "we're not Goth, but we do have to fight it."[citation needed]
Some of their musical influences consist of contemporary bands such as Deerhoof, Lightning Bolt and Blonde Redhead. A staple and likely the most commented on feature of the band's live shows is their cover of the Misfits song "Skulls".[4][6]
They have toured Japan in the summer of 2006 sponsored by X-Girl. In January 2007 they supported Deerhoof during their west coast tour.[7]
BlackBlack have released two independent EPs as well as a full-length album in Japan which combines the two Eps.

Pavelec lone star in Texas
Single-handedly wins game for Jets, stopping barrage of Dallas shots
DALLAS -- They call Texas "The Lone Star State." And the good folks here take great pride in doing it up big.
So it could be said the performance Winnipeg Jets goaltender Ondrej Pavelec served up in Saturday night's 2-1 shootout victory over the Dallas Stars was certainly Texas-worthy.
The 26-year-old Czech was the best player on the ice at American Airlines Center -- a left-alone star by his teammates on occasion -- in what was arguably his top performance of the season.
And in the process he became the Jets/Atlanta Thrashers' all-time leader in goaltender wins with 95 -- ironically, surpassing the man in the Stars' net, Kari Lehtonen.
"Oh really? I had no idea," said Pavelec when told of the stat after the game. "I mean, that's good, but most importantly we got the win and we can go from tonight and another big one tomorrow. Yeah... good night.
"Right now I just feel like we won another game, a really important game. So... maybe (he'll celebrate) later."
"He was good," said Jets captain Andrew Ladd. "We need him to be our best player and on a lot of nights we put a lot of pressure on him to do so. We feel he's capable of doing that. He bailed us out a couple of times."
The win evened the Jets' record at 5-5-2 and means they have now picked up points in three straight games after a shootout loss to Washington and an OT setback in Nashville earlier in the week.
"It was good road game for us," said coach Claude Noel. "I thought our team played fairly consistent. There were some ebbs and flows in the second period where we probably would have liked to have a little of it back.
"I thought Pavelec was superb again when he had to be. He had some key saves at some key times. We did a good job through the neutral zone, way better than the first time we played them (a 4-1 loss in Winnipeg) and I thought we controlled the (Tyler) Seguin line pretty good."
FYI, the Seguin line -- featuring Rich Peverley and Jamie Benn on the wings -- gobbled up the Jets back on Oct. 11, racking up three goals and eight points total. Saturday night in Big D they were held off the scoresheet.
The Jets carried a 1-0 lead into the third period after Evander Kane -- who was a game-time decision after missing the morning skate with an "upper-body" injury -- scored his sixth goal of the season in the second. But a seeing-eye-goal by Stephane Robidas through traffic pulled the Stars even at 1-1. Pavelec stepped up big-time to earn the first star -- his stop on Jamie Benn in the dying seconds left might have been his best -- while the Jets killed off a too-many-men penalty that carried into the first 95 seconds of overtime.
"Our goalie was fantastic," said Noel. "We gave him some opportunities there, even at the end, that were point blank and he had to come up big. He made some really key saves. It's getting to the point where we're starting to expect that from Pavelec and he's coming through big-time for us."
Here's how the shootout unfolded: Dallas shot first, with Jamie Benn failing. Jokinen followed, but missed, as did Alex Chiasson for the Stars. Andrew Ladd then beat Lehtonen before Pavelec sealed the deal with a stop on Ray Whitney.
"I usually have (a move) picked out before I go," said Ladd. "Going second maybe allows you to see the goalie's tendencies on the first shot and (Jets' goaltending coach) Wade Flaherty does a good job of giving us some scouting stuff before the game, too."

CERRITOS, Calif. — While the man behind an anti-Islam movie that ignited violence across the Middle East would likely face swift punishment in his native Egypt for making the film, in America the government is in the thorny position of protecting his free speech rights and looking out for his safety even while condemning his message.
It's a paradox that makes little sense to those protesting and calling for blood. To them, the movie dialogue denigrating the Prophet Muhammad is all the evidence needed to pursue justice — vigilante or otherwise — against Nakoula Bassely Nakoula, an American citizen originally from Egypt.
In America, there's nothing illegal about making a movie that disparages a religious figure. And that has the Obama administration walking a diplomatic tight rope less than two months before the election — how to express outrage over the movie's treatment of Islam without compromising the most basic American freedom.
"The thing that makes this particularly difficult for the United States is that ... we treat what most of us would refer to as hate speech as constitutionally protected speech and Americans don't appreciate, I think, how unusual this position seems in the rest of the world," said Lawrence Rosenthal, a professor at Chapman University's School of Law in Orange, Calif.
The situation also raises vexing questions about how far the government can and should go to protect someone who exercises their First Amendment right. In the past, for example, police have stood guard to ensure Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan could march without being attacked for their views.
But Nakoula's case invites scrutiny because the free speech he exercised with the film "Innocence of Muslims" has had such far-reaching and violent implications.
If the government were to overtly protect Nakoula, it could be seen by some as tacit approval of the film, and further enflame protests. Leaving him to fend for himself could have deadly consequences. There are examples of violence against others who have written or spoken against Muhammad.
White House spokesman Jay Carney on Tuesday stressed that the video was not connected to the United States government and suggested it was being "exploited by groups that have an interest in creating chaos and destabilizing their local government or attacking the west or the United States."
Egypt's general prosecutor on Tuesday issued arrest warrants for seven expat Egyptian Coptic Christians, including Nakoula, and referred them to trial on charges of harming national unity, insulting and publicly attacking Islam and spreading false information. The charges carry the death penalty.
So far, the U.S. government has acknowledged offering Nakoula very limited assistance. Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies escorted Nakoula to an interview with federal probation officials. They did so in the dead of night and allowed Nakoula to cover his face. And early Monday, deputies answered his family's request for help leaving the house where they'd been holed up for five days so they could reunite with the 55-year-old filmmaker. All remain in hiding.
Department spokesman Steve Whitmore stressed the agency is not providing protective custody. He referred questions to federal authorities, who have declined to comment.
Jody Armour, a professor at the University of Southern California's Gould School of Law, said it's "not unusual at all for the government to step in and give a citizen in distress or danger special protection, but it can't be unlimited. They're going to have to strike a balance."

BREAKING: UN says they have lost contact with staff at overrun base in #SouthSudan, some unaccounted for: http://t.co/sHuAbEwkyb … via @AFP"
— Dee Faced™ (@HeavenLeeOps) December 19, 2013
My kids' Christmas concert is tonight, so I'll have to run, but here's the latest Reuters update on the emerging crisis:
South Sudanese government troops battled to regain control of a flashpoint town and sent forces to quell fighting in a vital oil producing area on Thursday, the fifth day of a conflict that has deepened ethnic divisions in the two-year-old nation.
The conflict, which has so far killed up to 500 people, has alarmed South Sudan's neighbours. African mediators held talks with President Salva Kiir on Thursday to try to broker peace.
The fighting that erupted around the capital Juba on Sunday night has quickly spread, pitting loyalists of the former Vice President Riek Machar, a Nuer, against Kiir, a member of the dominant Dinka clan.
Machar, whose dismissal in July led to months of tensions, has denied Kiir's accusation that he had led a coup attempt.
Rivals have fought fierce gunbattles over the town of Bor, north of Juba, the scene of a 1991 massacre by soldiers loyal to Machar of hundreds of Dinkas.
Thousands of people have sought refuge in U.N. bases, including 200 oil employees in a main crude-producing region. U.N. officials said one base in Jonglei state, where Bor is located, was breached by Nuer and there may have been deaths.
Here's Agence France-Presse:
The fierce fighting that erupted in South Sudan this week risks spiralling into an ethnic conflict, UN human rights chief Navi Pillay warned Thursday.
"The risk of seeing the fighting taking on an ethnic dimension is extremely high and could result in a dangerous situation," Pillay said in a statement.
She expressed deep concern over reports of "civilians killed in Juba based on their ethnicity," and of "numerous extra-judicial killings."
Some 450 people have been killed in the capital Juba since battles broke out late on Sunday and thousands displaced, as rebels loyal to fugitive former vice president Riek Machar battle government forces following an alleged failed coup attempt against President Salva Kiir.
They seized the town of Bor in Jonglei state late Wednesday.
The U.N. says the situation in South Sudan's Jonglei State has deteriorated and a group of young people has reportedly forced its way onto a U.N. base sheltering civilians. Officials say there may be casualties, but they cannot confirm how many.
The United Nations says Lou Nuer youth are reported to have entered a temporary operating base belonging to the U.N. Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) in Akobo, Jonglei state. The United Nations said it is trying to extract its unarmed personnel from the area while reinforcing the base with an additional 60 peacekeepers.
U.N. Deputy-Secretary General Jan Eliasson told reporters that they are working to verify reports of casualties.
"Our base in Akobo, Jonglei state, was attacked and we have reports that lives were lost. We do not have the details of that yet. Of course, the secretary-general and I both condemn this attack in the strongest terms," said Eliasson.

Anarchy in Africa: U.S., U.K. Evacuate as South Sudan Spirals Out of Control UPDATE: Rebels Hit U.N. Mission

The United States has evacuated non-essential personnel from its embassy in Juba, South Sudan, British nationals are being evacuated, and people are trying to make sense of the crisis that developed suddenly over the weekend:
During the final session of the National Liberation Council, one of the ruling party's highest political organs, on December 15, there was a dispute among different elements of the Presidential Guards (Tigers) over orders to surrender their arms. According to Adwok, guards were disarmed but later the officer in charge opened the stores and rearmed only the Dinka soldiers. The Nuer guards questioned this, a fistfight ensued and more Nuer soldiers came in and broke into the stores. The Nuer soldiers managed to take control of the headquarters and the next day after some SPLA reinforcements, the mutineers were dislodged. There is no evidence of any planning, masterminding or political coordination before or during the clash.
Although ethnicity is a major factor, the crisis was actually precipitated by a deep political rift and power struggle. Yes, the President Salva Kiir is a Dinka and his rival the former vice-president Riek Machar is a Nuer. Yes, the race card is being played by both sides, and certainly it is a real dimension of the conflict especially at the ground level. But behind Riek Machar is a coalition that includes prominent Dinka politicians as well such as the former Sudanese minister of foreign affairs and the widow of the founding father of the SPLM John Garang. Other prominent non-Nuers are in the camp of the former vice president such as the now dismissed secretary-general of the ruling party, Pag'an Amum, a Shilluk.
Reuters reports that oil workers are being evacuated, and witnesses report that SPLA troops targeted ethnic Nuers.

South Sudan only recently gained its independence from Sudan's Muslim-dominated Khartoum regime, and this sudden descent into violent tribal anarchy is profoundly disappointing for those who supported Juba's independence. The breakdown of discipline in the SPLA is particularly disturbing, and remember that South Sudan is right next to the Central African Republic:
Armed gangs are rampaging through the Central African Republic carrying out atrocities including executions and mutilations, despite the presence of French and African troops.
Reports by two leading human rights organisations say the situation in the war-torn country is spiralling out of control and requires a robust response from the international community.
Both Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International say the death toll is much higher than reported and that peacekeeping forces in the CAR must be beefed up to protect the population from further war crimes.
Have you heard anything about this on the national news? Has any reporter asked our Nobel Peace Prize-winning president about it? No, of course not. Innocent people are being slaughtered wholesale, but it's not "news" because, hey, it's just Africans.
On the one hand, media silence about the bloodbath in central Africa is racist, but on the other hand, it's also "racist" to expect Obama to do something to prevent genocidal violence. So this brutality continues, and we're not supposed to notice.
UN says base in #SouthSudan stormed http://t.co/2HFJd6pdkj
— Heather Marsh (@GeorgieBC) December 19, 2013
UPDATE: South Sudan is rapidly going from bad to worse:
The United Nations says it fears casualties after attackers forced their way into a peacekeeping base in South Sudan's Jonglei state.
Rebels from the country's second-largest ethnic group, the Nuer, attacked the base, targeting civilians of the majority Dinka ethnic community. . . .
UN spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters on Thursday that "fighting took place" at the compound in Jonglei.
"We fear there may have been some fatalities but can't confirm who and how many," he said.
The UN peacekeeping mission is sheltering civilians in five state capitals, including Juba and Bor. The attack on the Jonglei compound came after Nuer rebels seized control of Bor. Even before the unrest, Bor was seen as one of the most volatile areas of South Sudan.
Earlier, there were reports of gun battles in the town, as renegade officers fought with troops still loyal to the president.

Today's Ray Of Hope

Yesterday's Washington Times featured an article by Rowan Scarborough indicating that the Army War College at Carlisle Barracks, Pa. was going to be removing portraits of Confederate generals such as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, and hinted that this was more political correctness run wild, as in the case of Duval County, Florida's Nathan B. Forrest High School, soon to be renamed something less offensive. For The ChildrenTM.
Evidently the commandant of the War College reads the Times, or was informed of the article, since he posted an article to the War College blog pointing out the several inaccuracies in the article and stating that there was no plan to "remove all traces of the CSA". They are planning on adding more art dealing with the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, as well as organizing the art in a less random fashion, which will mean less of the Civil War-oriented art that currently dominates the walls, but there is by no means a politically correct art purge going on at Carlisle Barracks. So that's something.

This Is Not News: Carl Herold and His 'Domestic Partner' Charles Dunnavant
Posted on | December 19, 2013 | 63 Comments
Interesting which crimes get overlooked by the national media:
Two Alabama men have been charged with imprisoning and filming their sexual abuse of a minor for use in child pornography made with the son of one of the accused.
Domestic partners Charles Dunnavant and Carl Herold face a litany of charges ranging from sexual torture and sodomy to exposing a person to an STD and child pornography production.
The young boy, only nine-years-old, was held hostage in the Huntsville house of horrors for eight months, during which he was sexually assaulted, abused, sodomized and exposed to an STD by both men while a camera caught all the depraved details, according to a court filing cited by WHNT. . . .
'They held the child captive for eight months and there are no standards, taboos or lines this defendant and his co-defendant hesitated to cross,' Huntsville Police Department investigator Chad Smith testified in court Monday, according to WHNT.
Yes, this is strictly a local news story:
Dunnavant lived with Herold in Huntsville. . . .
Dunnavant was arrested at a family home in Lincoln County, Tenn., Friday investigators said. During a hearing Monday seeking to raise Dunnavant's bond from $276,000 cash-only to $1 million cash-only, Huntsville Police Department investigator Chad Smith testified he was contacted by the FBI in early November about the possibility of a child sex victim in Huntsville.
Smith said investigators came across numerous photos depicting sexual torture involving a child.
This has no ramifications or significance outside Alabama. However, if somebody says something that offends gay people . . .
Hyping the absurd Duck Dynasty controversy, Chad Griffin of the gay-rights lobby Human Rights Campaign said this: "Phil Robertson's remarks are not consistent with the values of our faith communities or the scientific findings of leading medical organizations. We know that being gay is not a choice someone makes, and that to suggest otherwise can be incredibly harmful."
Got that? It is "incredibly harmful" even to "suggest" that individuals are capable of rational action. No, according to "scientific finding," we are told, sexual behavior is biologically determined, utterly beyond our control, and our sexual preferences are so hard-wired and overpowering that incredible harm will result if we attempt to conform our actions to moral ideals or social norms.
Ideas Have Consequences, as Richard Weaver once famously observed, and this idea — what I've called the "Desire Is Destiny" view of sexuality — has consequences far beyond the narrow and selfish purposes of HRC's Chad Griffin, who is interested only in fundraising, political power and his own $360,000 annual pay.
Chad Griffin is not some idealistic humanitarian, you see. He's a highly paid professional activist, a full-time anger merchant who oversees an organization whose top dozen officials, himself included, rake off a combined $2.56 million a year. Most people don't understand that there is a sort of political industry at work — Gay, Inc. — and there are many hundreds of people who earn their livings from various gay advocacy groups, not to mention other similar gigs, e.g., "Queer Theory" professors at universities.
All these people wake up every morning and go to work where they spend the entire day laboring to destroy morality in America. Given the enormous resources and manpower devoted to this project, we certainly ought not be surprised by their successes.
And never mind what they might consider a "success."

Most popular dog breeds in America
These guys are happy because their little brains literally can't grasp the concept of global warming.
Topics: Movies, Entertainment News
All filmmakers are inspired by what came before them, which is as it should be. Although there's certainly such a thing as a blatant rip-off, most borrowed ideas hover in the much grayer area known as the "homage," and filmmakers often sharpen their own styles by using another filmmaker's technique or way of seeing things as a jumping-off point.
Guy Maddin's satirical, ghostly-giddy tone poem "The Saddest Music in the World" is filled with nonspecific visual references that are haunting whether or not you know which long-dead filmmakers, from Fritz Lang to Jean Vigo, have inspired him: It's as if Maddin has found a way to mine their subconscious rather than the material they actually put on-screen. His feverish, stylized vision of Depression-era big-city life feels siphoned from the jagged art-deco dreams (or are they nightmares?) of "Metropolis"; his romanticized visions of loved ones (including the fuzzy-edged image of a dead child reflected in a train window) stream right from the soul of "L'Atalante."
Maddin has the technique to make those references work: "The Saddest Music" is shot mostly in black-and-white (interspersed with a few jarringly garish color sequences), but we're not talking about the velvety black-and-white of crisply restored classics. "The Saddest Music" has the sizzly, sandpapery texture of old movies too forgotten and forlorn ever to have been rescued. Maddin and his cinematographer, Luc Montpellier, have put poetry in the surface of their picture — there are no other modern movies, not even black-and-white ones, that look quite like it.
But the visual originality of "The Saddest Music" is deceiving: Narratively and spiritually, the movie is bankrupt, even though it's so packed with stuff (including a set of shapely prosthetic glass legs filled with dazzling, fizzy beer) that you can hardly bring yourself to believe that it all adds up to nothing.
And it happens to be a nothing that could give you a massive headache. The story, written by Maddin and George Toles, from a story by Kazuo Ishiguro, goes something like this: In 1933 Winnipeg, a legless beer mogul named Lady Port-Huntley (Isabella Rossellini) hosts a contest to see which nation can coax the most sorrowful music from the depths of their souls — the prize is 25,000 "Depression-era dollars," she announces magnanimously.
As in a real '30s movie, the sort made when political correctness was just a gleam in your granddaddy's eye, mantilla'd Spaniards and grass-skirted Africans flock to the city for the Olympics-style runoff. (As Port-Huntley announces the contest, we see images of these musicians from many lands superimposed over a relief map of Winnipeg.) Three of the contestants, Canadians by birth, know each other well, although they've been estranged for years. Fyodor (David Fox) has long been in love with Port-Huntley, although he's also the cause of her biggest sorrow, having recklessly hacked off her legs with a saw after an auto accident. Still, he hangs around her like a remorseful, lovelorn pup, and now he hopes to win the contest with his strained rendition of the dirgelike weeper "Red Maple Leaves."
Fyodor's son, Chester (Mark McKinney), once vied with him for Port-Huntley's affections; now he's a Broadway producer, down on his luck and stranded in his home country, trying to hustle together a big production number that will take the prize. And a second son, the fragile, neurotic Roderick (Ross McMillan), long ago ran off to Serbia, which he considers his spiritual home. Now he's a famous cellist who never appears in public without a black-veiled get-up that looks like widow's weeds crossed with a beekeeper's bonnet (a symbol, he tells us, of the national sorrow of Serbia, seeing as it was the country responsible for starting the Great War). Roderick has suffered the death of his son and the loss of his wife, Narcissa (Maria de Madeiros), who has run away from him, quite possibly because he's an insane sad-sack. Every day, with the regularity of routine tooth brushing, he plays a mournful rendition of "The Song Is You." He hopes his performance of the tune will snare him the big money and allow him to get back at Chester, whom he hates.
Maddin — perhaps best known for "Dracula: Pages From a Virgin's Diary," which has earned something of a cult following — is so in love with his own kooky ideas that he hasn't bothered to comb through them for any real meaning. He takes his zany devices — beer-filled legs! Who'da thunk of that? — and churns them up with old-movie-melodrama tropes, and the result is not magic but a peculiar kind of experimental-movie mud. The characters utter lines that sound as if they were grabbed from old scripts and jabbed at with modern scissors ("I'm not an American, I'm a nymphomaniac"); the audience, if it's running properly on Maddin's greyhound track, snickers knowingly, congratulating itself for getting the joke. "The Saddest Music" strives for surrealism, which is how you get the exact opposite of surrealism: It's a very short hop from "I can't believe what I'm seeing!" to "I don't believe in anything that I'm seeing."
Contrast that with, say, David Lynch's "Eraserhead": Before I ever saw it, I'd heard so much about its images (the lady in the radiator, for one), that I figured it must be some brilliant, arty stunt. But somewhere along the way, I forgot how weird I'd heard it was and lost myself in its vaporous embrace. I burst into tears at the end. Its surrealism had become my reality.
"The Saddest Music in the World" grapples toward its big theme — something about art not being able to capture the essence of human experience — even as it fails to capture the essence of human experience itself. So what was that junk we just spent 99 minutes of our lives on? Entertainment?
Because "The Saddest Music in the World" is so jampacked with oddities — did I tell you about Lady Port-Huntley's blindfolded cross-dressing house band? — some viewers are likely to see it as the product of a great imagination. I think it shows not great imagination, but a lack of one, or at least an inability to self-edit: Maddin's visual gifts could be staggering if he weren't so busy shooting metaphysical Silly String at the screen just to see how much of it will stick. At one point, a character grouses, "All that Broadway sis-boom-bah! Don't you think that music should speak for itself?" It should. So should movies.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Survey says: Can't trust those polls
OTTAWA -- British Columbia's stunning election upset has turned on its head one of the strongest arguments pollsters have always used against banning or restricting public opinion surveys during campaigns.
Since George Gallup pioneered political polling some 75 years ago, pollsters have maintained their surveys are vital to the health of democracy.
They expose for all to see the true state of voter opinion, the pollsters contend. To ban or limit them would be to return to the bad old days when biased, unreliable survey results were strategically leaked by political parties to advance their own partisan interests.
"Our polls speak truth to power," Ipsos Reid senior executives Darrell Bricker and John Wright argued in a statement two years ago, responding to criticism from some of their own industry colleagues who'd challenged the credibility and accuracy of political polls.
"Not doing polls, or doing fewer of them, means that there will be no checks on bad polls (in this sense, the more polls the better), and that the political elites (including the media) will push their own distorted view of public opinion."
Yet, in last Tuesday's B.C. election, it was the public polls that turned out to be seriously distorted, giving the NDP anywhere from a six to 13-percentage-point lead over Premier Christy Clark's seemingly doomed Liberals.
It was the Liberals' internal party polls that accurately pegged the result: a healthy Clark majority.
"We had it nailed," Don Guy, one of the Clark team's top strategists, said in an interview.
"We couldn't get anyone to believe us because of the public polls."
Various explanations have been offered by pollsters whose surveys failed so spectacularly to predict the B.C. result: Voters made up their minds in the polling booths; turnout was lower than anticipated.
But Guy, a pollster by profession, believes it's more serious than that.
"It's a chronic problem and 'problem' is too weak a word to describe it," he said.
Guy is not alone. An increasing number of pollsters are worried about a credibility crisis facing the polling industry, fuelled by methodological problems and a proliferation of fly-by-night polling firms offering free surveys to undiscerning journalists who are slavishly addicted to horse-race numbers.
Unlike many of the polls published in the media, parties pay big money to conduct sophisticated surveys with large samples.
During the B.C. campaign, Clark pollster Dimitri Pantazopoulos used old-fashioned, live telephone interviews to conduct his surveys -- not the cheaper online or automated phone surveys increasingly used for media polls.
Online surveys -- which use a self-selected panel of people who sign up to take part in a company's polls -- produce all kinds of anomalies, said Guy. Not everyone has Internet access; those that do tend to be younger and more inclined to support the NDP.
Media polls tend to be weighted to try to take account of such anomalies and make the sample representative of the general population. But Guy said that skews the result since not all segments of the population are equally likely to vote, a factor Pantazopoulos's surveys did take into account.
For instance, Guy said, 18 to 34-year-olds "do not vote and, in particular, under 30s do not vote anywhere close to their incidence in the general population, whereas 55-pluses dramatically overachieve relative to their incidence in the population."
Perhaps the most crucial difference between media polls and the B.C. Liberal party's internal polls was the emphasis on the horse-race numbers.
"That is the number I pay the absolute least attention to," said Guy, "because the choice that someone expresses about attachment to a political party if an election were held tomorrow is about the weakest possible measure or predictor of behaviour you can imagine."
Rather, Guy said party polls looked at "issues, emotions, trends, personalities, characteristics, concerns, worries, fears, hopes -- all those things that campaigns are founded on."
It's that kind of intensive polling that allows a party to fine-tune its message, micro-target constituencies, shift undecideds and motivate voters.
"If (campaigns) were founded on who are you going to vote for tomorrow, then we wouldn't have campaigns," Guy observed.

Hamilton defends new-look Formula 1
Lewis Hamilton has defended the new era of Formula One admits reports that Luca di Montezemolo has held talks with Bernie Ecclestone.
According to reports, the Ferrari president is unhappy with the new era, which includes 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 engines and fuel saving.
He is believed to have flown to London armed with a poll on Ferrari's website in which the bulk of fans voiced their disapproval over the new regulations.
However, Hamilton, who won the Malaysian GP, reckons part of di Montezemolo's complaints are based on Ferrari not winning.
"I think given the nature of the sport, Di Montezemolo didn't say a thing when Michael (Schumacher) won those five World Championships,"...

Description This application is a continuation in part of application Ser. No. 09/994,126, filed on Nov. 26, 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,722,562, which claims benefit of Provisional No. 60/253,240, filed Nov. 27, 2000. This invention relates to a system and method for accomplishing voting using the existing banking network for automated teller machines. The 2000 Presidential election clearly demonstrated deep fundamental problems in the equipment and methods used for voting. These defects have been known for many years, but prior to this invention there has not been an available, cost effective way of obtaining a secure, accurate, timely and affordable universal voting system. The present methods vary from town to town based on what equipment was purchased and when. As a result, the quality of the electoral process is not what it could be. It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a method for accomplishing secure, electronic, distributed voting using the existing banking network that is in place for automated teller machines (ATMs). This invention features a method for secure, electronic, distributed voting using the existing banking network for automated teller machines (ATMs). Each voter is issued unique voter identification information, such as a unique ID number created for electronic voting purposes (perhaps issued by the town or locality that manages the voting for the particular voter), or an access card that can be read by an ATM (which could be a typical bank ATM access or debit card, or a credit card, or a special voting card that looks like a credit card), along with a personal identification number (PIN) (which may be the voter's social security number), that is input after the card is read. The equipment is enabled to accept such voter identification information. In response to the input of proper voter identification information, information relating to the vote to be cast is displayed at the equipment. The user is then allowed to cast votes using one or more equipment functions. A particular equipment function is established as an indication of finalization of the vote, and when such function is accomplished by the user, the finalized vote is automatically tallied. The voter identification information may comprise an access card that can be read by an ATM, along with a PIN. The voter identification may encode at least the voter's voting district, the voter's name, the voter's address, and the voter's party affiliation. In the United States, every person is issued a unique social security number, so that this could also comprise the unique voter ID. Outside the US, many countries also issue a person-specific identification number that can be used as a voter identification number. The information relating to the vote to be cast may comprise candidate names and the issues to be voted upon. An ATM function indicating vote finalization may be the �accept� key. The method may further comprise the ability to display or print voting selections before their finalization, upon voter request. The voting selections are preferably printed using the receipt function of the ATM machine. Allowing the user to cast votes using ATM functions may include providing user control over scrolling through ATM display screens. The method may further comprise disabling further use of the voter identification information upon the tallying of the finalized vote. The method may still further comprise establishing an account for each candidate and/or issue to be voted upon, and wherein automatically tallying the finalized vote comprises depositing into the appropriate account each finalized vote. The method may also further comprise allowing the user to enter the name of a write-in candidate. This may comprise enabling use of ATM functions to enter letters of the alphabet. When a credit card or perhaps debit card is used as the ATM access card, or when equipment is used to access the banking network, the voting function can be managed by the card provider. The invention also contemplates the use of other computerized equipment that can be connected to the existing ATM banking network (such as home PCs) to accomplish the voting function. In this case, in which a card reader may not be present, the unique voter ID information can be established as desired; there are numerous possibilities. For one, the user's social security number can be used, and/or a voter ID number provided by the voting district, and/or a banking account number and/or a banking account PIN (e.g., the PIN for an ATM, credit or debit card). This could be a fee-based service, or not. This would allow any person with a credit or debit card or a banking account to vote anywhere, using a voting-enabled ATM or a PC. ATM networks (such as Cirrus, NYCE, MAC and the like) can be voting-enabled, which would allow any ATM or PC on the network, or other equipment that is connected to the network (e.g., through the Internet), to be used to cast a vote. Other objects, features and advantages will occur to those skilled in the art from the following description of the preferred embodiment, and the accompanying drawing, which is a schematic diagram of a system for accomplishing the method of this invention. The present invention provides a low cost electoral methodology which will meet the most exacting requirements. The US banking system is remarkable in both its accuracy, security and ease of access. This invention uses certain aspects of the banking system for the purpose of voting. The key elements consist of the following: 1. ATM machines are accurate and well controlled means of depositing money to accounts. These same machines, through simple software modifications, could be used to deposit votes to a candidate's �account�. 2. Each registered voter would be issued unique voter identification information that can be input into an ATM. This could be a unique identification number that is input using the keypad. Alternatively, this could comprise a �Voting Access Card� (VAC) and a PIN number. The VAC would have the format of a standard bank or credit card so that it could be read by an ATM. The voter identification information would be issued by the local voter registration office prior to the election. The information would access, or encode, appropriately encrypted information to identify the voter by name and address, to define the voting district of the voter, and potentially other relevant voting-related information, such as party affiliation, which is sometimes required in primary elections. Another alternative would be to allow a voter to use an existing credit or debit card and the PIN for that card (or the user's social security number or another unique number), as the means of enabling the voting function and identifying the voter. 3. On election day, the ATM machines or the ATM network would be loaded with software that would recognize the particular form or forms of identification information used, for example to read the VAC, and accept the PIN. This would, on demand, convert the ATM into a highly accurate and secure voting machine. This could be accomplished over an ATM network. In operation, the voter could approach any designated ATM on election day for the purpose of voting. He would insert his VAC, credit or debit card into the machine, and enter his PIN number just as if he was banking, or use another appropriate means to enter into the ATM his unique voter identification information, for example by entering a code using the keypad of the ATM. When a card is used, the code information on the card could identify the card as a VAC, and identify at least the voting district. If a credit or debit card is used, the user is identified, and a database can contain the voting district, party affiliation, and/or any other voter-specific information relevant to the particular vote. The identification would bring up a voting screen, or scroll through several screens as necessary to present all candidates and issues on which the voter can vote. One possibility would be that when the ATM �welcome� screen came up, one of the selections could be �voting�, or perhaps �other�, in which case the �other� screen would have a �voting� option. The voter could select his choices in the same manner that menu decisions are made in the ATM, typically accomplished by pressing designated keys on the ATM. Once the choices were made, the �enter� key would be pressed. The software would then cause the ATM to display on the monitor, and/or print out using the ATM receipt printer functionality, a summary list of the selection, and provide the user the opportunity to accept the vote or votes/choices, or repeat all or part of the process, by either repeating all voting screens from the beginning, or allowing the user to scroll back through screens to find the particular screen(s) that display the choice he desires to change. When the �accept� key was pressed, the votes would be deposited to the correct accounts. The software will note that the person to whom the voter identification was issued has voted, and terminate the ability for the identification to be re-used. Write in candidates could be entered by selecting �Other� for the selection, and by using alphabet keys or a touch screen to enter the name. Some communities require an ID to vote. This can be done by requiring the ID to be presented when supplying the voter identification information. The use of a unique ID number, or a VAC with a PIN, or a unique credit or debit card and PIN, makes the voter identification information useless to other parties. The unique identification also allows the voting transaction to carry a charge, particularly when a credit or debit card is used. Elections are accomplished today by breaking the entire voting public into a series of precincts. This same organizational structure can be easily maintained in this invention. There would be, for example, one server for each precinct. Alternatively, the server could handle more than one precinct and be appropriately set up to tally votes on a precinct basis as is currently done among precincts in a particular jurisdiction. For private ATM networks, the server would simply need access to the network and be enabled to communicate within the particular network architecture. It would also be possible to connect different ATMs or PCs to a server using the Internet as the network. The security needed to accomplish this is already in existence. The above-described system could be used as the sole vehicle for voting or in conjunction with other safe systems. It also could be used at any location on the globe including military stations, eliminating the present problem with military and other absentee ballots. Patent Citations
