The irony of the car is that the place where it causes the greatest problem is the place where it's most needed; that is, towns and cities. Cars are actually pretty hopeless for long journeys because they have to be driven, which is an annoying distraction. For going from London to Edinburgh the train makes much more sense, is faster, and has a bar.
Similarly, only an idiot would drive from England to Italy, not least because that would involve going through France. A Boeing 757 will do the same trip in about one tenth of the time and is, as students of youth argot would say, the way to go.
But this still leaves you needing to get to the station or airport, and that is why you will always need a car. The proponents of public transport can bang on all they like about integration, trams and the community, but nothing will ever match the convenience of something that leaves from outside your door exactly when you want to go. Therefore our towns and cities will always be full of cars.
The real problem, however, contrary to much popular belief, is not cars being driven, but cars not being driven. Over the past couple of weeks I've used quite a bit of public transport for long journeys, and I've worked out that in the past 336 hours the Fiat Panda has been in use for only eight of them, or a pathetic 2.4 per cent of the time. For 97.6 per cent of the time it's been sitting outside by the road gathering pigeon poo. At any given time a handful of cars is doing something useful but most of the rest are simply in the way.
I don't doubt that the issue could be partly resolved if we all bought a Smart ForTwo or a G-Wiz, but then we would simply be substituting one social problem with another, most probably widespread depression and low self-esteem.
I also have a sneaking suspicion that most Smarts are bought by rich people as a city runabout rather than as a replacement for an existing car, which means there are now one and a half cars on the street where there used to be only one.
I therefore conclude that what we really need, in the absence of any emerging folding car technology, is more garages.
I definitely need more garaging, which seems to mean a new house, so I've been for a walk. And I'm horrified by just how few garages there are around where I live.
In fairness most of the houses were built before the car was invented, and quite a few display blue plaques proclaiming that some Victorian essayist once stayed there, but that's not much of an excuse. The Victorians pretty much knocked everything down and started from scratch, and it's probably time we did that again.
Here's my thinking. My pokey little box of a dwelling is (or was, before the country was ruined) surprisingly valuable, but the house itself doesn't account for much of it. I know – because I have to insure it – that rebuilding it from scratch would cost no more than £150,000.
Meanwhile, a substantially bigger one with a garage and still within walking distance of the pub is going to cost an extra three quarters of a million pounds at least, plus stamp robbery and attendant fees from golf-playing conveyancers, all of which seems a very expensive way of storing a few cars.
Even then there's more chance of finding a house where Cruikshank once drew a sketch of Oliver Twist than one where I can satisfy the requirements of a modern and progressive lifestyle.
In any case, I don't actually want a bigger house. A bigger house means buying more furniture and rugs, more roof to fall off, and more danger of people coming to stay. I only want more garage space. It's where I spend most of my time anyway, and that will only get worse.
So I have now decided that the inescapable conclusion to the conundrum is that I should knock this house down and then build a contemporary one with space-efficient layout, economical heating systems, low-voltage circuitry and, most importantly, a CHUFFING MASSIVE GARAGE.
Please tell me where the flaw is in this plan.

Panken Commented on JetBlue's Recent Incident with Flight AttendantHR Hero Line August 12, 2010
Peter Panken, a Member of the Firm in the Labor and Employment practice in the firm's New York office, was quoted in an HR Hero Line article about the recent incident JetBlue had with a flight attendant.
The article provided an overview of what attorneys had to say about how JetBlue should deal with the flight attendant that told off a difficult passenger, grabbed a beer, and exited a plane via the inflatable emergency chute. Attorneys provided their insight on whether the attendant should be fired or ejected, assuming his trip down the slide wasn't his form of resignation. In addition, the article provide insights on what employers could learn from it.
"A flight attendant is an ambassador of the airline. His or her job is to interact with passengers as the representative of the airline. This must be done with tact and consideration. Cursing at passengers is a gross violation of that job," said Panken. He also added that he would be shocked if any court or arbitrator ruled that the attendant should be reinstated.

Great golf accessory!
June 4, 2015
Love this watch - I don't go golfing without it anymore. I've since bought a Laser rangefinder as well. Both have their pros - Laser is more accurate but only works when the flag is in sight; Bushnell GPS only gives distances to the green (front, middle, and back) and two hazards which is enough most of the times, but not always. The battery life is pretty good. I get around 2-4 rounds per charge (depending on the pace of play). Accuracy seems to be on par with other GPS devices.
Pros- Just as accurate as other popular GPS devices - Battery life is very good - Can also be used for running and hiking to measure distance covered. - Very light weight - Not as bulky as other GPS watches
Cons- Screen scratches very easily - No way to update all courses at once. The webpage only allows manual update of one course at a time - Can take a few minutes to acquire signal at times - Distances to just two hazards is not enough. Also most of the times it only tells distances to bunkers/hazards but not the carry yardage. Occasionally, it tells yardage to and carry in pairs (for example RFW 225 RFWC 255). RFW(C=Right Fairway Water Carry - Not the best looking GPS watch - very simple low-resolution square display

Just got this Bushnell GPS watch and it worked great right out of the box. Very simple to operate and distances are spot on at my home course.

I find club selection from the green out to 150 metres is so much easier with my GPS Bushnell watch and especially when playing at an unfamiliar Golf Club where the distance markers are not so good.

My wife bought this watch for me for Christmas and I love it. I play three to four times a week and have not had any issues. The yardages are spot on with my much more expensive skycaddie. I can normally get three rounds on one charge. The only issue I have is that the watch is a bit big, and it took a few rounds to get used to, but then again I never wear a watch. As a scratch golfer I highly recommend this watch.

Nice Watch, but had to exchange due to defect
November 14, 2013
Nice watch. Not cumbersome to wear and within 5 yards of my laser rangefinder. Unfortunately, it kept switching holes while I was in the same fairway. Sometimes advancing up to 5 holes on its own. Contacted Bushnell, and they said it was a problem with this watch so I am in the process of exchanging it for a new one. Has all my courses available, however, you have to create an account to check to see which courses are available.

November 13, 2013
I am using the Bushnell NEO X in conjunction with my Sky Caddie SGX and yardage seems to be just about the same in most instances. The only problems that I am experiencing are that if you stay in one spot too long and then move several yards away sometimes the yardage doesn't change. Another problem is the igolf website. I cannot seem to get the site to update the watch.
ProsYardage seems right on
ConsWebsite Yardage sometimes sticks. (Could possibly be fixed if I could get on the website properly.)

Terrible Bushnell Repair and Service
November 13, 2013
Bought this watch, functions very well, BUT.....while taking it off after the second time I used it I accidentally dropped it on my tile bathroom floor and the glass bezel cracked. I thought, bummer I really like the watch but I will just send it in and get it repaired since it is brand new it's probably covered under warrant. NOT SO. After several weeks I received a notice saying the watch was not covered and would not be replaced but that I could buy another one at a special price of $150! I DON'T THINK SO!! No coverage after 2 rounds and not durable enough to withstand a drop from 3 feet! Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT or any Bushnell product if this is the way they treat their customers!! Many other options out there with better design and more importantly better customer service!! Oh yeah they want $10 to have it shipped back to me!! HAHA. Last straw!! If I could give them 0 stars rating I would!!
ConsCustomer service Warranty

I have only used the gps golf function a couple of times so far, but it works great. the only problem I have with it is that since the distance is measured in a direct line, the distance from tee to green on dog leg holes is not very helpful. but otherwise it is a great watch, and a great deal.
By Lorne
Haven't got lost yet.
October 5, 2013
So far so good. Yardages are pretty close to the sprinkler heads. Compared to my wife's Garmin, the battery life on my Bushnell is at least twice as good. A little uncomfortable but I'm not use to wearing a big watch.

Bushnell NEO-X
August 26, 2013
Have only used a couple of times since getting it and it was right on! I compared the yardage marks with one of my friends hand held GPS units and the yardages were always within a yard or two if not exactly the same. Really like the convenience of having it on my wrist and not having to rely on keeping it in my pocket or on the cart, especially since the size is just about the same as one of my large watches.
ProsEase of use and convenience of being on my wrist.

How far made easy.
August 24, 2013
I have played with a number of guys who use the GPS for distances so I thought rather than reaching for the laser I would give one a try. I wasn't too sure I would like something on my wrist while playing but this unit is very light and really not obtrusive at all. It is very easy to read and seems to be highly accurate. I picked this up on the PGA weekend while things were 15% off and the 50 dollar gift card made it a no brainer.
ProsEasy to use
ConsBattery life might not be quite the three to four rounds as a advertised.

Replaced a Skycaddy with this watch--No more yearly fees for me! The yardage is very accurate and very quick to display. The distance to the front and back of the green is all you really need to choose your club. A great golf aid!
ProsConvenience, cost, performance!
By Rick
If you wear a watch when you golf this is a no brainer!
July 7, 2013
After my Skycaddie subscription ended (and the charging plug went bad on my SG5) I tried a few free golf apps on my cell phone not wanting to spend good money on another unit and subscription when there are so many free options. There are a couple golf apps that work pretty good, but if you start a round with less than a full battery you have little chance to make it all 18 holes before the phone is completely dead. The phone screen also seems to be a better mirror where I see my own face in it rather than seeing the hole layout or yardage numbers in the sun or shade. Deciding the phone option was just not for me, I started looking at the multitude of hand held units available on the market. I have always worn a watch when I golf so I liked the concept of having the yardages right on my wrist. After reading a ton of reviews and a long internal debate over what I really needed vs. what I wanted, I pulled the trigger and got the BUSHNELL Neo-X. It has other features, but what I really want and need is to know how far it is to the front, back, and center of the green. Now and then a bunker or water hazard. The Neo-X does that and is as simple as a look at my wrist. There are no subscription costs, it has all the courses I play already loaded, is easy to see in the sun, it changes holes automatically when you get to the tee box, and is accurate enough for me being a 10-12 handicap golfer. I have checked distances from several fairway markers and if it is not dead on it is within a yard or 2 or 3. If I can hit it that accurate I at least have a birdie attempt. Now every time my golf buddy and I roll up to his ball in the cart he says "what time is it"! It's just that easy! I am very happy with the purchase!
ProsNo Subscription cost. Accurate to a few yards. Easy to use, Easy to read.
ConsBushnell / iGolf website is worthless except to lookup a course.

Very happy with this device. Has 30 thousand preloaded courses. This is better than the neo plus as it is newer , slimmer , and most important has 2 hazard points (lay-ups) per hole. Locks on very fast , no waiting to calibrate between holes. Battery life is great also. Price was great got on sale for $150.

Not bad, but sometimes inaccurate
June 23, 2013
This works pretty much as advertised, but it takes a little bit to get used to the controls. It is handy to have a way of determining the distance to hazards, as well as to the green. However, it is not always accurate, or anyway, it does not always agree with the readouts of devices that other players are using. Sometimes it also disagrees with the yardage markers on the course. The inaccuracy can be as much a 10 yards. Also, it is not comfortable to wear, and I wish there was a way of detaching the unit from its watchband, and mounting it on a fob or something that you could clip to your belt or shirt-tail, and consult when you want information.
ProsHelps with club choice and course strategy.
ConsNot always accurate, and pretty uncomfortable to wear.
By Ed

Excerpt from Blood, Iron and Gold: How the Railroads Transformed the World
Construction started in 1828 with a ceremony that suggested the importance of the Baltimore & Ohio as a national event. With typical American exuberance, the first sod of earth was turned with a silver spade by the only surviving signatory of the 1776 Declaration of Independence, the ninety-year-old Charles Carroll, who, at the ceremony, said: "I consider this among the most important acts of my life, second only to my signing of the Declaration of Independence, if even it be second to that." Given the role of the railways in uniting the United States of America and creating a nation out of separate states spread over a distance from east to west of nearly 3,000 miles, his statement was prescient indeed.
Initially, just as in Britain, in the United States there was a debate about what form of traction to use. Peter Cooper, an industrialist and inventor from New York, had invested heavily in land in Baltimore and was keen to ensure the success of the railway, which he realized could only be guaranteed with the use of steam locomotives. Cooper, who also later patented gelatin, the principal ingredient of Jell-O, built an engine called Tom Thumb. As the name suggests, it was a relatively small locomotive, described by an onlooker as having a boiler "not as large as the kitchen boiler attached to many a modern mansion." Nevertheless, on a test run along the first 13 miles of track, it reached an exhilarating 18 miles per hour, impressing the assorted investors and VIPs who had come along for the ride.
On the way back, Cooper exceeded himself and agreed to race his locomotive against a horse to prove that it was superior. The powerful gray horse was initially in the lead, thanks to its faster acceleration, but once the locative engine gained purchase on the track and its safety valve opened up to supply extra power, Tom Thumb glided past the galloping steed. Cooper's machine was a quarter of a mile ahead when disaster struck. Just as the horse's rider was ready to give up, the belt that drove the pulley on the locomotive snapped and the engine gradually eased to a halt. Cooper struggled to replace the belt, and he did manage to finish the course, but with his hands lacerated by burns caused by the heat of the engine, he was by then hopelessly behind.
The equine victory, though, proved pyrrhic. The investors had been sufficiently impressed with the performance of the little engine to realize that using steam haulage, rather than horse power, was the only way to make the line viable. Although some horse traction was used early on, locomotives were dominant, and by the time the line was extended westward, they were used exclusively.

Information Collected via Technology
Information Collected by Our Servers. To make our Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol ("IP") address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit.
Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider ("ISP"), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Services, track users' movements around the Services, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users' needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit the Services again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not link this automatically-collected data to PII.
Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Services.

Examples of information that may be collected and used include your geographic location, how you use the App, and information about the type of device you use. In addition, in the event our App crashes on your mobile device, we will receive information about your mobile device model software version and device carrier, which allows us to identify and fix bugs and otherwise improve the performance of our App. This information is sent to us as aggregated information and is not traceable to any individual and cannot be used to identify an individual.
Pixel Tags. In addition, we use "Pixel Tags" (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs). Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, that are used to track online movements of Web users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send e-mail messages in a format user can read, and they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user. We do not tie the information gathered by Pixel Tags to our users' PII.

The analytics services' ability to use and share information collected by them is restricted by their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which you should refer to for more information about how these entities use this information, and how you can opt-out of their use of such information.

Motorists face mayo hazard
Motorists were faced with an unusual hazard yesterday when a pallet load of mayonnaise toppled out of a lorry in the centre of a town.
Gallons of mayonnaise spilled out of plastic containers and on to the streets of Birr, Co Offaly, when the truck shed its load at a busy junction in the town at around 8am.
Gardai confirmed "a lorry went through the junction in Birr at Townsend Street and Pound Street and basically the back doors were unsecured and so a pallet came out and smashed on the ground".
The mayonnaise was "cleared quite quickly" by Birr Town Council officials .

Hardball With Chris Matthews
MSNBC November 4, 2012 2:00pm-3:00pm PST
2:00 pm
again, i am alex wagner in for lawrence o'donnell. tomorrow at noon, senator barbara boxer will join me to talk about what is at take in this election. up next, a special edition of "hardball." chris matthews interviews vice president joe biden. let's play "hardball." good evening. i'm chris matthews in cleveland. let me start with this. the close nest of this election tells you something about our country, how divided it. as you look at rockefeller center in new york, consider the national polling. the north, midwest and west back obama. the south is with romney, or is against obama. you can see this division as it
2:01 pm
works its way down from southwest pennsylvania, including part of ohio, down through west virginia. you see it in the agitation that romney and his forces are working in their ads and speeches. donald trump, who says is president is an illegal immigrant, now doing robocalls for romney. john sununu keeps calling the president lazy and un-american. and topping it off, we heard romney out here in ohio today saying the president is bent on, get this, revenge. let's begin tonight with my interview with vice president biden. i started with that high octane issue of auto production right here in ohio. >> thank you, mr. vice president, for this time. here we are in ohio. what do you make of this republican ad that's been out there running for romney saying that chrysler is going to take jeep out of this state and send
2:02 pm
it to china? >> here are the people right in this state, toledo and other places, just back up on their feet, jeep is hiring people and they put out an ad saying that barack obama sent chrysler bankrupt so the italians could buy it. and it's just flat false. the most cynical play i've seen. there was an editorial in the "denver post" saying this goes to character. >> what does it say about romney's character? >> it says they don't have much character at all and the idea that these guys -- look, chris, they're running away from everything. on that debate, i thought romney was going to endorse obama. now they're running away from
2:03 pm
the ryan budget, which is what they were going to herald as the second coming. it really is kind of scurrilous. these people are finally back on their feet. there's no chance their job is going to go to china. >> even when the fact checkers come out and check them and objectively say these ads are wrong, what do you think the campaign says, run it any way? >> when we were doing this -- i think they think that if they spent a couple million bucks or $20 million bucks around the country on these ads that that will swamp free press. >> so in other words, all the fact checking in the world can't catch up. >> that's in their thinking. >> the president was up there
2:04 pm
with governor christie. what does it tell you that we don't see that coolness under fire? >> by the way, it is cool. look at what this guy came into office with. look what he inherited and he's steady. literally, i've never once seen this guy falter. i've never -- he's never once in my presence said joe, what do you think the politics of this are? he makes a judgment, he listens. he cuts through all the mularkey. and now that he's mastered the bureaucracy, now he's talking with homeland security and the rest and one of the principals
2:05 pm
says, do you want us working with con ed? we usually don't do this? he says to leon, the secretary of defense, can you get generators in to con ed? let's get this up and running. he just cuts through. he makes a decision and he stands by what he does. in contrast to governor romney, you never know where he is. this guy makes a decision, chris. as i said it before, he has a backbone like a ramrod. he stands by what he says, and he lives by it. >> the way he chose to go after bin laden, the decision to rescue the auto industry. when he makes those decisions, everybody else sees cool on the outside. what can you see? >> i see a guy who starts off and the questions he asks are
2:06 pm
about how this can affect real people. not a joke. it's all straight. here's the deal. on the automobile rescue, he said, how can you let an iconic industry go under? what does that say about the country? there's a million people going to lose their jobs. so the question was, he didn't think it was better, but how could you not take the chance? >> bipartisan got a huge applause here. you got real close to a deal last year with john boehner. if you get re-elected, how do you get back to making it work, like it did up here in the storm country of jersey, where everybody seemed to be working together? >> i think the fever will have broken. you have the tea party wing controlling the party. i said this before, we need a
2:07 pm
republican party. we need leaders that can control their party and i think you're going to see the fever break. you're going to see obama's re-elected, the idea we can't let that happen is done. i've already been talking -- >> the reasonable people that we grew up with, they left, they're gone. they passed away. >> but there's still some solid republican conservatives who understand what principled conservative means and they're not wrapped up in idealogical purity. i think there's a dozen republican senators, and i think i can name 2 1/2, 3 dozen house members who, once this election is over, they get a get out of jail free card. up to now, it's been if you
2:08 pm
don't stick with this hard right edge thing, we're going to primary you. you saw it when jerry falwell took control of the republican party. you saw it when newt gingrich first came in. mark my words, when this is all over, we both understand politics, all those house and senate members, they're going to start saying hey, man, i no longer have an obligation to stick with the right of my party to say we're going to defeat this guy. he's there four more years, let's get something done. i really believe you'll see movement. >> the election is in hours from now. nobody knows what is going to happen. you had finegan here, your
2:09 pm
granddaughter. take a minute and explain the history of this election, what it is going to mean in going one direction or the other, what is the big stake here? >> she's asked the question. the big stake is whether or not we decide that there are a few people, powerful people, good people, but powerful people, economically, politically in every other way who are the ones enlightened to make the decisions about the country. or do you have any faith in the people that we grew up with? i really mean it. that is the fundamental difference. they don't think education -- it's an afterthought to them. the middle class is built on education and the country is built on ingenuity. they really don't think that's necessary. they really think they are side issues. they think as long as you give
2:10 pm
massive tax cuts to the wealthy, that will generate an environment which -- look, it's how they are about offshoring and all those issues. they look at it, when you talk to them privately, it's a global economy, so it doesn't matter where you make money, as long as your shareholders do well, everything will work. look, we have stake holders that live in north philadelphia and out here in cleveland. it matters where you grow the economy. it matters whether you grow it here in cleveland and ohio. it matters whether people are able to have access to a college education. it's the stuff of which this country is built. >> last question, how close is it going to be on tuesday night? >> look, i don't want to jinx myself. >> then don't. what do you think is going to happen? >> i think we're going to win. i don't think it's going to be close in the electoral college.
2:11 pm
i think we're going to win clearly and i think we're going to win this state, ohio. i've been in here 23, 24 days, i think we're going to win iowa, wisconsin, nevada, new hampshire. i think we've got an even chance of winning virginia and florida. so it could be a big win. it also could be close. but the firewall here of ohio, wisconsin, iowa -- >> talk to your stake holders. tell them what they should do on tuesday. >> if you can vote early, vote earlier. but don't just vote, bring your mom, your dad, bring your cousin, knock on the door of your neighbor. the middle depends on it. >> vice president joe biden, thank you for your time. good luck. north carolina and colorado look pretty tough. coming up, where does the race stand? we have the results of the
2:12 pm
latest and last poll before the election. that's next. and we have our top people here tonight. chuck todd, howard fineman, eugene robinson and others. the big question is about big bill. if president obama does win re-election tuesday night, the person he can thank the most perhaps probably is the guy he was campaigning with in new hampshire, bill clinton, the big dog could be the one who pulls him over the finish line. and guess who on the romney team is bad mouthing chris christie? let me finish with who is the best bet to bring us together after wrards. this is "hardball." the place for politics. when what you just bought, just broke. or when you have a little trouble a long way from home... as an american express cardmember you can expect some help. but what you might not expect,
2:13 pm
is you can get all this with a prepaid card. spends like cash. feels like membership.
2:14 pm
in pennsylvania, ppp shows the president with a six-point lead. and in new hampshire, where the poll has the race tied even. we'll be right back. [ male announcer ] you've reached the age where you don't back down from a challenge. this is the age of knowing how to make things happen. so, why let erectile dysfunction get in your way? talk to your doctor about viagra. 20 million men already have. ask your doctor if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take viagra if you take nitrates for chest pain; it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. side effects include headache, flushing, upset stomach, and abnormal vision. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. stop taking viagra and call your doctor right away if you experience a sudden decrease or loss in vision or hearing. this is the age of taking action.
2:15 pm
viagra. talk to your doctor. but kate -- still looks like...kate. nice'n easy with colorblend technology gives expert highlights and lowlights. for color that's true to you. i don't know how she does it. with nice'n easy, all they see is you.
2:16 pm
welcome back to "hardball." we've got the results of the latest and last poll. the president has a bare edge, just 48% to 47%. also today, new numbers from the battle ground states shows the race at a dead heat at 48% even. with the race razor sharp right now, both candidates were in the battleground states today. the president in new hampshire,
2:17 pm
florida, ohio and colorado. and romney in iowa, ohio, pennsylvania and virginia. here's part of their closing arguments of both candidates. >> what makes this rally and all your work that much more inspiring is you're doing it because you care about america. i mean, paul and i have not promised you a bigger check from the government and we haven't promised to check from some people to redistribute to you. >> it's not just a choice between two candidates or two parties, it's a choice between two different visions for america. between a return to the top down policies that crashed our economy and an economy that's built from the middle out and the bottom up and creates a strong growing middle class. >> where does the race stand right now?
2:18 pm
chuck, and then howard, give us your assessments how this race stands just a few hours away? >> it feels here -- look, the campaign is a campaign of demographi demographics versus enthusiasm. the romney campaign believes enthusiasm is on their side and will make up some ground. the obama campaign, they believe that the basic structure of the -- of these states favors them. that you're going to have a white-to nonwhite election and there is struimpossible for mit romney to get a majority. in the last 72 hours, it feels
2:19 pm
as if, and our polling may have caught it, that there is -- this the president caught the last break. you can say it's sandy, but he caught the last break and if there is anybody with a little bit of an advantage, it appears he has it >> howard? >> before i came on the air, i checked in with the top guns in both campaigns. my sense is trying to read between the lines of the e-mails. the obama people are a little more confident right now. the romney people keep harping on pennsylvania, on the idea if they can't win ohio's 18 electoral votes they can substitute it with 20 from pennsylvania. i've been told that the president is not going to pennsylvania but bill clinton will be in pennsylvania tomorrow. the obama people are confident enough about the flanks maneuver
2:20 pm
that romney is trying in pennsylvania not to bother sending the president there. the president will be in ohio tomorrow, which is his center of gravity and has been from the beginning. that's the electoral college reason, because without ohio and pennsylvania, it's virtually impossible for romney to get it done. >> i can give you the same reporting. they don't want it to look like romney has something going in pennsylvania. >> if it were really that close, chris, they would send him. >> let's take a look at this article. it was a very well written article and got nothing but anger from white people.
2:21 pm
>> we got the word from michael, i think it was you, howard, how angry the readers were because he suggested there was a lot of anti-black, if you will, racist sort of argument going on. i believe there's been a lot of it around the edges. i think romney has been responsible for it, but today he said obama's campaign is about revenge. your thoughts? >> not to mention the line that he used we did a clip of about handing out checks. the handing out checks is an old mean going back to the days of ronald reagan and before that. even back to the '70s. so i think that what interested
2:22 pm
me was that michael told me just what a storm of hatred his own column unleashed today, which is very interesting. i think what's going on, on the fringes of the republican side and you can see it from the polling, there's more intensity on the republican side. not as many strong supporters of romney as obama, but those who are for romney are very strong. but the irony is they're strong for him not because they like him, they're strong for mitt romney because they intensely dislike the president. >> the fact that the north, the west, the midwest all support obama but the south intensely dislikes him. >> that's why the national poll numbers are as close as it is, because barack obama is through the floor in the south. and it could end up that the south will be solid once again. it goes back to the civil war
2:23 pm
and slavery and still there. >> let many ask chuck, could it be that the president, knowing that he would never get electoral votes in the south, spend little time in the last four years cultivating a strong minority support among white voters? >> i guess i take issue he didn't do it. he spent a lot of time in north carolina and florida. i am surprised he didn't spend more time in the state of georgia, a state that is under certain scenarios, all of the growth when you look at the census, the african-american and hispanic growth in the state of georgia. there's a lot of things he could have done differently, when it comes to building different and better coalitions in washington, finding his own versions of moderate republicans to come with him. the question is, did he learn
2:24 pm
lessons if he wins a second term? and maybe are there better ways of building coalitions outside of washington, trying to go to certain places and certain states and trying to overperform in certain states. >> if he wins on tuesday night, he was able to get support because of things he did, killing bin laden, helping out hispanic kids brought to this country at an early age, these are things he did, the thing he did with governor christie the other day, these are actual doing things. >> i think the lesson is, if he wins one of the top two or three factors will be the auto rescue. that is key to ohio. if he keeps ohio, it's because of the automobiles and the fact that you can see automobiles on
2:25 pm
the street. you can see chrysler and dodge cars on the street. that's tangible and that is probably his best piece of tangible legislation. >> the one thing that you're getting at here, chris, what smir conish found out the hard way, the losing side is going to feel very aggrieved. this is not going to be like 2000 or 2004, which ever side feels like they loses, they're going to feel like it was taken from them. they're not going to believe the result they saw. that's going to make governing for the winner extraordinarily difficult. >> i agree with you. thank you very much, chuck todd. thanks for coming on. next, will farrell says he'll do anything to get you to vote. anything. >> if you agree to vote in this year's election, i will personally give you a tattoo. fair warning, i do not know how to draw. and this is a picture of

2:29 pm
back to "hardball." and this is the "sideshow." both mitt romney and president obama are using the last two days of campaigning to make a final pitch to voters in the states that could decide it. let's look at the sights and sounds of today. >> hello, new hampshire! >> thank you so much. >> i know some of you came here early and it's getting a little cold. but folks from new hampshire are tough. we made real progress, florida, these past four years.
2:30 pm
>> you've watched what happened over the last four years with an independent voice. you hoped that president obama would live up to his promise to bring people together to solve big problems. but he hasn't. and i will. >> the american auto industry is back on top. home values are on the rise. al qaeda is on the run. osama bin laden is dead. >> the choice of the american people can lead to one of two very different destinations. >> here is your choice. you've got ideas that we've tried and didn't work. and you have ideas that we tried that did work. so you think it would be a clear choice. >> paul ryan and i will limit government instead of limiting the dreams of our fellow americans. >> our fight goes on because america does best when everybody has a fair shot. >> do you want four more years like the last four years or do you want real change? >> change comes when we live up to this country's legacy of innovation. >> two days, two days and we got
2:31 pm
to work. >> new hampshire, in two days. >> florida, in two days. you've got a choice to make. >> i need your vote and your help. >> are you fired up! >> don't you love the way that romney runs as if he's the american candidate for president? i just love that. next, it's bill maher with the reasons he's starting to see the finish coming. >> i know it has to end, i just don't want it to. only four days left in this campaign means there's only time for five more reincarnations of mitt romney. 2012 >> when future historians ask, mitt romney, how did we get this shameless weather vane? the answer will be, the other
2:32 pm
choices were newt gingrich. so they nominated mitt romney. >> you heard maher joking that romney is so out of touch he's from outer space. check out this tweet. and actor will farrell stepped up his campaign for obama in a new web video with a list of questionable incentives to encourage people to vote. >> if you agree to vote in this year's election i will personally give you a tattoo. fair warning, i do not know how to draw. i'll do a dance just for you. that was just a taste. if you want the full buffet, you're going to have to vote.
2:33 pm
if you vote, i'll eat anything you tell me to. garbage, hair, human under pants, i don't care. vote obama. it's a slam dunk. i made you this. it's an owl. who, who. >> convinced? up next, clinton the closer. if president obama wins on tuesday night, he can thank former president bill clinton. you're watching "hardball," the place for politics.
2:34 pm
2:35 pm
2:36 pm
he's been a good commander in chief, a good decider in
2:37 pm
chief, a proven cooperator. because you and our country will be better off, i strongly recommend we re-elect the next president of the united states, the current president of the united states, our president, barack obama! >> welcome back to "hardball." the president and the former president campaigning together. president obama made note of the power of the former president and his secretary of state hillary clinton today. >> let me just say president clinton has been traveling all across the country for this campaign. he has been breaking it down so well that people tell me i should ask him to be secretary of explaining stuff. the only clinton working harder than him is our secretary of
2:38 pm
state, hillary clinton! >> joan walsh is author of "what's the matter with white people?" by the way, to remind everybody david did uncover that 47% video. first of all, joan, when i hear bill clinton, i hear strains of wendell wellky losing his voice in that 1940 race. but here you have bill clinton out there today basically adding something. he does something when he shows up with obama. it seems like it's more than one or two, it's like maybe a five. >> they're larger than the sum of their parts. i was just looking at that video of president clinton, chris, and i thought he looks younger. younger than he looked in a long
2:39 pm
time and it's the 20-year anniversary of that amazing '92 campaign where he closed it out barn storming and he was losing his voice. i think president clinton sees barack obama has the completion of his legacy. we know that there was tension between them and tension between president obama and hillary clinton. but they're all come together. whatever happens with hillary clinton in the future, i think the president understands that this president needs to get re-elected to vindicate -- i think the economy is going to get better no matter who is president. >> i think that 47% video put the clintons and the obamas on the same side of that divide. sltz i think you're right. it's who you're fighting for and speaking to. i watched bill clinton today in new hampshire and i thought, god, the guy still has it.
2:40 pm
a dozen years after he was impeached for lying about sex, he is a rock star. and that's why tomorrow, tomorrow the obama campaign is sending him to four stops in pennsylvania. he's like the ace reliever you put in the ninth inning to shut down the other side if you think they may score some runs late in the game. four events in one day is not an easy thing to do, but he looks raring to go. >> let's talk about the unity of the party. here you have a democratic party, president obama and president clinton were campaigning together yesterday in virginia. clinton gave it all. listen to this. >> as you can see, i have given
2:41 pm
my voice this the service of my president. >> the wonderful praise, because i think i've been using it myself, is president obama a good president? not decent president, not great president, not whatever, not even excellent, but is he a good president? and if he is a good president, consider that when you vote. and bill clinton used that phrase today. >> yes. and he also said in the service of my president. i thought that was very moving, chris. the way that this president has been demonized and made not american and put outside the pail of politics and the way that the republican party which impeached bill clinton, has embraced bill clinton, the president putting his arms around -- president clinton
2:42 pm
putting his arms around president obama literally and figuratively, is so troublesome with that white working class vote. >> how far back -- i guess harry truman they liked. >> they liked kennedy's tax cuts. they never talk about lbj much. they thought carter was illegitimate. and they thought bill clinton was completely illegitimate until this campaign. but bill clinton comes out there and to take joan's point and he says not just that he's my president, he's our president. coming from another president who has made hard decisions and it's really putting the stamp of legit maty back on a guy who shouldn't have to fight for it but has had to because of republican obstructionism.
2:43 pm
>> let's listen to romney talking about the president out for revenge. it never ends. and romney again today, he's running as if he's like america's team, like the dallas cowboys. like he's the american candidate. who gave him that? >> and we've got people on the right saying there are threats of race riots if president obama loses, which is disgusting. glenn beck and rush limbaugh claim that health care is reparations. i think that revenge remark feeds right into that. look at what they're going to do to us. >> it's been a continuation from day one. mitt romney has gone out there and said that barack obama doesn't understand america. he doesn't get america. he's not one of us. ann romney has repeatedly said barack obama is not a grownup. you talked about john sununu saying he was lazy, he didn't
2:44 pm
understand america. it's not even code anymore. it's this guy is not a real american. newt gingrich can say he's an african in terms of his temperament and ideas. it's all part of this continuum that mitt romney has not said no to. >> read michael smerconish's column today. it is brilliantly written. up next, we're learning that governor chris christie was possibly ticked off by being strung along for being mitt romney's running mate. this is "hardball," the place for politics. new prilosec otc wildberry

2:50 pm
philadelphia enquire says campay chris christie who felt jilted after having been led to believe he would be selected as romney's vp before being ditched. of course the implication is that christie's dark motive is in having to be so publicly supporting the president, president obama, is that romney hurt his feelings. gene, i don't know, i just find one part of this thing buzzeling. why would romney people, put out the word two days or three days before an election that reason governor christie was so helpful with obama and working with him is because he thought he had been almost promised the vp job and was hurt by not getting it in favor of paul ryan? why would they put that out? >> a dig at christie and i think it speaks a lack of character frankly. they are painting christie as
2:51 pm
some sort of, you know, jilted psycho girlfriend or boyfriend, who, you know, got left at the alter and who, you know, and that's why he is running to the arms of the other guy. it is incredible that they would do this now. against a republican governor who gave the keynote speech. a crisis in the state. i think they would be a bit more supportive. >> you know, i was thinking of miss haversham, the lady left at alter and 30 years later sitting at the kitchen table with her wedding kaip cacake molding in f her. is this the jilted old lady who never got over being jilted by her lover? >> don't know if it is about that. >> come on, you know it is. >> it is political ignorance.
2:52 pm
i today deal with the nameless shadowy voices who undermine you because they don't like the direction you are takinging the party or whatever. same tone deaf people that don't understand chris christie is governor of a state devastated by a storm. he is going to flip the bird to the president and say, is a political season? and say, screw you until after the election? i think this undermines that this is bubbled up to be news. undermines romney's momentum and effort as a distraction. chris christie doesn't need it. certainly the romney campaign doesn't need it. i think this is a bone-headed conversation -- >> that's why i'm bringing it up. >> i know. >> i like bone-headed because it gives me a chance to teach people how bone-headed people can be. can this be an excuse for people who might lose the election to blame it on christie? >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> oh, absolutely. >> you make it too easy on me,
2:53 pm
guys. chris christie defended praise of president obama. let's listen to the governor. >> i don't understand why telling the president of the united states that he has done a good job, when he's done a good job, equals and endorse many. so the fact of the matter is, and mitt romney knows this, and by the way, so does the president of the united states. i endorsed mitt romney 13 months ago because i thought he was the best guy for the job. and on tuesday, i will vote for mitt romney because i think he is the best guy for the job. >> very sharp, michael and gene. haley barber explaining the behavior of the governor in simple terms. >> the relationship between the president, whether it is president obama or romney, has just begun. it will go on for years and years. the easy stuff is what we are dealing with now. the complicated decisions, federal government, christie would have been a fool to poke his finger in obama's eye. when they are your partner for
2:54 pm
years, you know, you are praised in public and criticize in private. that's what ways taught. >> michael, that's what you said. >> right. and the fact that they are criticizing publicly speaks how bone-headed and ignorant they are. it is outing an agenda, giving cover in case the election doesn't turn out, they can look at christie and say, you stopped the governor's momentum and all this praise. so disconnected from reality. look, the governor is doing what the governor needs to do. governor haley is absolutely right. i know we had it deal with hurricanes and blizzards in lair land. we looked to the federal government and our partners around the country who could lep us. that's what christie did, god blo bless /* bless him. >> michael, i agree with you, once again. who is the best bet to bring us together after the tuesday elections? you're watching "hardball," the place for politics.
2:55 pm

let me finish tonight with this. i sat in a big high school gym and saw bipartisanship. asaw a movie about how the united states and canada conspired together to save six iranians back in '79 and watched the audience cheer at the top of their lungs at the end of the movie. the country wants it feel good
2:59 pm
about itself and believes somehow the key is to end the roadblock that stands in the way of moving forward. now mitt romney says he is most likely to clear that roadblock because he can work best with the die hard right in the house republican caucus. he can get republicans and congress to work with him in finding a compromise with democrats. he can. what would make anyone think that? he spent the primaries, caucuses, and national convention in tampa buckling to every demand of the right. he went down for everyone who made a demand on him. signed every document. sold to sellers of political patronage. we could barely see himself, the person, only the hand signing signatures. reading back oaths, the donald trumps berthers, and anyone else who said, sign here, if they want it that bad. this country hates the word compromise. that what last year's credit rating was all about. demes are ready to deal. president is there to cut a

I've been at the University of Pennsylvania for over twenty years now and in that time have had the good fortune to teach many wonderful students. Some have gone on to academic careers, completing PhDs in fields such as Classics and Sociology, while others have created careers in the military, on Wall Street, and in professions such as medicine and the law. It is a real source of pride for me that graduate students who have worked with me are now teaching at places such as Notre Dame and Brooklyn College and are embarked on active careers as scholars and teachers.
My research has moved across a few areas, not necessarily closely connected. I have written on ethnicity at the local level in a book on ancient Phokis and recently returned to this topic, editing a volume for Blackwell on ethnicity in the ancient Mediterranean world. Between these projects I wrote a study of cattle in the Greek world that addressed a whole set of questions around cattle, from the empirical (who owns the herds, where are they raised, what do cows cost in the 5th century) to the interpretive (why are there so many myths about cattle, what lies at the heart of sacrifice). The book was an absolute blast to write and reminded me of how lucky we are to work in a field that allows us to do research in areas we love.
I am currently at work on a few different projects. One is the topic of salt production in the Greek world, while another is the theme of hybridity. If you have any thoughts on either of these I'd love to hear from you. I am also investigating the relations between Athens and Lemnos in the 5th century, and exploring the place of the Hephaisteion in that relationship.

Set in medieval France, an elderly noble baron (Michel Simon, L'Atalante) and his much younger bride, the beautiful Blanche (Ligia Branice, Goto, Isle of Love) welcome a visiting King (George Wilson, Les destinées) and his handsome page, Bartolomeo (Jacques Perrin, Cinema Paradiso) to their castle, and sets in motion accusations of disloyalty and marital infidelity, turning what should be a fairytale into a nightmare. Walerian Borowczyk (The Beast), whose stylized vision of a bygone world, is key to the overall look and feel of Blanche, which despite its period surroundings, embraces very modern sensibilities. Blanche, written and directed by Walerian Borowczyk (based on the poem Mazepa by Juliusz Slowacki), features performances by Jacques Perrin (Cinema Paradiso), Denise Péronne (Forbidden Games) and Lawrence Trimble (Meetings in the Forest).

The third Mesh Conference is coming to Toronto May 21st. Having missed the first two, I'm dying to get to this one. The Mesh team has consistently produced a roster of top notch speakers, and this year will be no different. Want to talk digital music? How about chatting with Warner's Ethan Kaplan? Or Michael Geist… the two of them should be interesting sparring partners! And that's just a taste of the roster.
The undersold part of Mesh, frankly, is MeshU – a one day "how to" that happens the day before the main conference. If learning from entrepreneurs who are experiencing the same core hurdles and problems that we all see every day is your idea of time well spent… well, MeshU might be just the ticket. Design, development and management strategies from folks who live and breath this stuff day to day.
See you there.

Understanding How Search Engine Ranking Works (Continued…)
How Keywords Influence Search Engine RankingsThis is the part of the SEO process that confuses people more than anything. For every keyword that someone uses to find your website, you have a unique search engine ranking. You may show up on Page 1 of Google for "plumbers Las Vegas" and Page 4 for "plumbing company in Las Vegas, NV." The keywords seem the same and they certainly point to the same types of search results, but your website will show up differently for each of them. That is why it is so important to have a solid keyword pyramid in place, so you know which keywords to target to boost your search engine rankings across the board.
Keep in mind that Google will take into account similar words on a page, even if they are not the exact keyword you're targeting. For instance, having "plumbers in Las Vegas" on a page titled "plumbing company Las Vegas" will help your search engine ranking for both terms. This all comes down to a unique process called Latent Semantic Indexing, in which search engines crawl your pages for synonyms to help them rank you for each term. By using varied but similar keywords in your content, you can effectively help your website show up better in search engines.
Other Factors That Influence Page 1 Google Rankings
- How up to date your content is
- Keyword density (the ratio of your target keyword to the number of words on the page)
- Content quality
- Link building (the number of other websites pointing to your site, as well as the number of references used on your pages)
- SEO optimization (including tags, meta data, headings, subheadings, etc.)
- Internal link ratios
- Your target keyword competition
How to Get to Page 1 in GoogleNow that you know what influences your search engine ranking, you can work to get your website to the top of Google. Start by choosing the keywords you want to target, and then use search engine optimization to get your website ranked for those keywords. If you are having trouble getting to the first page of Google for a certain set of words, you may need to target a different set of words or find a new approach for your internet marketing.
By far the easiest way to get to Page 1 in Google is to work with an experienced SEO company in Las Vegas. Contact us today at Platinum Web Marketing for your free search engine ranking assessment.
