Did Best Buy Coupon Take Merged Channel Too Far, Or Not Far Enough?
Written by Frank HayesBest Buy's $50-off fiasco this week is a reminder of a simple fact of merged-channel retail: A little technology usually isn't enough. According to The Consumerist, early on Monday (Jan. 21), Best Buy E-mailed a coupon to some customers, offering $50 off most purchases of $100 or more if the customer paid by MasterCard, with the discount good for a week. Word quickly spread on bargain-hunter Web sites, and soon customers were online, reporting their successes ($2,500 in Amazon giftcards for $1,250) and failures (one store manager insisted it must be a hoax). By Monday afternoon, Best Buy had pulled the plug on the offer.
Automating coupon-based offers is fine. But if you're going to Internet-up paper-style coupons, you really have to go all the way. And these pretty clearly were conceived as paper coupons. One clue comes in the boilerplate on the coupon, which had relatively few restrictions on products that could be bought (no Apple, Sony or Nikon) but also specified the coupon was good in-store only. It also sported classic paper-coupon language, including "No copies."
No copies? That's actually possible in an E-mailed coupon, but only if every coupon is individualized with the customer's loyalty account number (the loyalty program is presumably how Best Buy picked the E-mail addresses that originally got the coupons). Then it's effectively the high-tech version of a paper coupon, and conditions like "no copying" (or at least "one coupon per loyalty card account") make sense. It effectively replicates the physical limitations of the traditional paper coupon.
But without that type of personalization, a no-copies rule is impossible to enforce. Anyone can print and use as many coupons as he likes, and he can spread the joy to the rest of the Internet. And, naturally, when every bargain hunter on the Internet ("valued Best Buy customer" or not) takes advantage of the deal, the chain takes a bath (one that Best Buy really can't afford) and the promotion is a fiasco.
The irony is that this was probably a clever cross-channel promotional idea when it started. It's a flash deal, delivered without warning to select customers, by E-mail for in-store use. That's great use of merged-channel technology. And that short list of restrictions? Probably OK for loyalty customers, especially if Best Buy controlled exactly how many $50-off coupons at most could be redeemed.
But Best Buy didn't use the technology that made such control possible. As a result, Best Buy was forced to issue this rather embarrassing message: "Promotional Offer was sent out with incorrect product inclusions, product exclusions, single product call out and end date. An ad correction is available in our retail stores, where you can see a Sales Consultant or Customer Service for any questions or to view a list of the included and excluded products."
The result? Bargain hunters drove trucks through the deal's loopholes—and the primo customers who were supposed to be rewarded with the coupons will probably still be walking into Best Buy for the next few days, only to be told they're out of luck. We're pretty sure that's not the effect Best Buy was looking for.

A few hours in Hana and its essence seeped into my pores. The days following the hike I experienced a sense of serenity that I have not felt after any of the other hikes I have gone on so far.
If you are unable to view the video, click HERE
The song on the video is my new anthem! Thank you Jason Mraz; Living in the Moment, is available on iTunes.
My friend Rayne and I did the Wai`anapanapa Coast Hike (pronounced, why-a-nah-pah-nah-pah). I just looked the word up in my Hawaiian language dictionary and it means "glistening water" which is the perfect name for it.
From my house it is about an hours drive east (depending on how many waterfalls you stop to admire along the way). It was the perfect day for the hike, sunny, light trade winds, and with all of the rain we have had, the waterfalls were going off.
The park is just before you enter Hana, you turn into it at the 32-mile marker. We parked at the Black Sands beach parking lot, walked the paved pathway which transitions into a dirt trail, which changes into a lava rock trail. I do want to mention that if you decide to do this hike, you need to look for the "hikers" sign (see photo); or you'll end up on a loop that only takes you on a 10-minute walk. We thought it rather funny that starting out there are two hikers shown on the sign, but coming back, after a strenuous hike, from the other direction only one is shown on the sign…and it's right before the cemetery. (OK, guess you had to be there.)
The hikers sign is up near a small cemetery where a very hefty mongoose lives. Have to admit, the mongooses on our side of the island appear to be malnourished in comparison.
I'm very happy that I recently bought hiking boots. The trail reminded me of the King's Highway Steven and I hiked last winter; on that one I wore tennis shoes and it was hard on my ankles.
This hike was fantastic. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, with a small Hala tree grove, dramatic sea cliffs, and a view of a side of Haleakala that I rarely get to see. Round trip it is about 7 miles, so take water and a snack.
Even if you aren't into as intense of a hike as we went on, the Wai`anapanapa State Park offers the Black Sand beach, a freshwater cave (which we didn't take the time to venture into) restrooms, showers, picnic facilities, camping area as well as cabins (the cabins need to be booked well in advance), and you are only a short drive from Hana.
Looking forward to my next Hana adventure!

Bowen murder trial begins on Feb. 7
The main evidence in the case against him is DNA obtained from the decomposed bones of the victim. But then again, the victim's mother says she still receives phone calls from her allegedly deceased son.
Then, just before the trial is set to begin in June 2006, the inmate's court-appointed public defender tells the court the defendant is suffering from liver failure and has only two weeks to live. The judge vacates the trial date, and the case seemingly comes to end.
Fast forward a year and a half or so, and the whole shebang reloads again.
The middle-aged inmate, Wayne Lee Bowen, 49, has not succumbed to liver disease and once again faces the murder charge. A 10-day jury trial is scheduled to begin in the Lassen County Superior Court at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 7.
Bob Burns, Lassen County's district attorney, declined to comment on the case because his office is not involved in Bowen's current prosecution and did not participate in the 2006 case either.
Burns said the California Attorney General's office is handling the case and referred the newspaper to the prosecutor, Maggie Krell.
Krell did not return calls by deadline to comment for this story.
Bowen is charged with the July 1988 murder of Kevin Behm, then 22, of New York. Bowen and Behm allegedly were involved in a number of burglaries in the Reno area in July 1988 and later had a falling out or conflict.
Bowen allegedly took Behm to an isolated location on Eagle Lake Road, about a one-quarter mile north of the current Forest Service building and shot him twice in the back of the head. Deer hunters found the remains just east of the road and reported them to the Lassen County Sheriff's Department at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 12, 1988, according to a press release issued at the time. The press release said the remains were severely decomposed, and investigators had to study the scene and evidence to identify the body.
At the time the last trial date was vacated, a number of issues remained, including Bowen's competency to assist in his own defense, the question of whether such a long delay in bringing the case to trial makes it impossible for Bowen to get a fair trial, the report the victim is still alive and what testimony the experts will give regarding the DNA evidence. All that remains is a portion of the victim's skull that was not cremated by the state in 1990 when the rest of the victim's body was burned.
For the 2006 proceeding, Bowen was brought to Susanville from state prison in Vacaville, where he was serving a sentence for solicitation for murder.
In 2006, David Marcus, Bowen's then public defender, said the attorney general's office was pursuing prosecution simply because Bowen was to be released from prison soon.

This is the third of five blog posts I'll make today regarding the 15 bills I've prime-sponsored that have passed out of committee. A few of them have already passed the Senate; others are lined up for a possible vote on the Senate floor.
Senate Bill 6284 would decrease our criminalization of "driving while poor." For several years, I've worked to reduce the burden on people who are criminalized for "driving while poor." The crime of Driving While License Suspended in the 3rd Degree is the lowest level of driving with a suspended license. It's committed primarily by people failing to appear in traffic court or paying a ticket, whose license is suspended by the court, but who continue to drive and are stopped again. For example, let's say that I've been cited for not having current tabs on my car or for driving without appropriate vehicle insurance. Maybe I don't have insurance or current tabs because I can't afford it, or maybe I've just forgotten to keep things current. If I fail to show up in court to contest the citation or pay the fine (upwards of $500 for driving without insurance), my license eventually will be suspended. I could also have my license suspended if I've already worked out a payment plan with the court, but I'm unable to keep current with it because I've lost my job, had my hours cut, or just need the money to pay for basic necessities.
The actual suspension of a license is not criminal; it's a purely civil matter. But if I get caught driving while my license is suspended, I have crossed over into the criminal realm. You can't drive on a suspended license, regardless of the underlying reason for the suspension.
If I am then caught driving my car with a suspended license, I could be charged with the crime of DWLS3, resulting in more fines and a longer suspension of my driver's license. People with enough money can just pay the fines and get their license unsuspended, though of course some of scofflaws don't pay for reasons of their own and either stop driving or continue to drive illegally. But a lot of folks just don't have the resources to pay their fines and/or deal with the court process, and end up with a criminal charge and increased fines. Plus, my ability to earn money to pay my fines and take care of my family may well be inhibited by the fact that I can't legally drive my car because I risk getting arrested and booked into jail because I had to drive to work, take my children to school, or my ailing parent to the doctor. That's why I call the charge of DWLS3 "driving while poor." Additionally, the high volume of cases creates a burden on local courts through case loads and court costs.
I've succeeded in making some changes to this system. One example is last year's successful Senate Bill 5195, which created a diversion program for motorists who are pulled over while driving with a suspended license in the third degree. A diversion program saves courts time and money and helps violators, some of whom can't afford to pay in a lump sum, set up a payment plan. This is money that in some cases the courts would have never received without a payment plan.
As introduced, SB 6284 would have exempted all non-safety related civil infractions from the requirement that the Department of Licensing (DOL) suspend the license if the driver doesn't appear in court or fails to pay the fine. Instead of the license being suspended, the fine would be automatically subject to collection action if not paid. It would still have allowed for payment plans, but like now, those plans have to be arranged with the court and the offender is under court order to abide by the plan.
In its current form, the bill is expressly limited to non-moving infractions, meaning that for those violations the DOL will not suspend the license for nonpayment, and instead the payment is subject to collection action. A person who gets a ticket for something like expired tabs or another non-safety issue is not subject to having his or her license suspended if they are unable to pay. The fine will be collected via collection actions. There's an effective date of April 2013 to allow for the reprogramming of DOL's ancient computer system.
The City of Seattle undertook this issue locally to stop suspending licenses for certain infractions and they saw significant savings in court and law enforcement costs. Along with saving money, they are able to actually collect more fines. This is a win-win bill.
Senate Bill 6285 would increase the use of geothermal resources as an alternative energy source. This legislation would assist our state in developing our natural geothermal resources to use as a clean energy alternative. This is even more important since the passage of Initiative 937, which sets a requirement of 15% renewables by 2015. There are several areas around the state with geothermal resources that may be commercially viable, one in eastern Snohomish County and one in Skamania County, both near the crest of the Cascades. This bill would align state law on geothermal resources to make it easier for the Department of Natural Resources to lease land for exploration and development. I've received input from state agencies, environmentalists, and folks from the geothermal industry, and the current bill satisfies most stakeholders.
Senate Bill 6376 would aid law enforcement to solve crimes by increasing the authority of the forensic investigations council to assist local jurisdictions in the identification of human remains. This bill would allow the Washington State Forensic Investigations Council to authorize the expenditure of up to $210,000 per biennium from the death investigations account for the purpose of assisting local jurisdictions to secure forensic anthropology services or other testing to determine the identity of human remains. The council contracts with a county coroner or medical examiner to secure the required staff, facility storage, and equipment. This service wouldn't incur any state costs because programs would be funded through existing fees.

EDMONTON, Alberta — Ridership on Edmonton Transit System's light rail service received a boost when it opened the first leg of its south extension in 2009. With the popularity of U-Passes programs at Grant MacEwan University and the University of Alberta, ridership is expected to soar even higher once school resumes in the fall, according to the Edmonton Journal.

Badminton: Gloomy days ahead when top shuttlers call it a day
By : K.M. BOOPATHY
Email to friend Print article
Women's doubles Wong Pei Tty (right) and Chin Eei Hui are probably the most consistent Malaysians at the moment.
AS China's back-up players were embarrassing several big names in the just concluded China Open Super Series in Shanghai, our second liners were resigned to do battle in the lesser known international challenger event in Kota Kinabalu.
Arif Latif has yet to sparkle.
Malaysia did win three out of the five titles at stake but the sorry state of our future prospects explains Malaysia's predicament and gloomy days when the current crop of top shuttlers call it a day.
Kuan Beng Hong started his career in the junior ranks with World No 1 Lee Chong Wei and Hafiz Hashim but to see him winning his first international title at a satellite event is baffling.
What is more disturbing is that younger players like Chong Wei Feng, Tan Chun Seang, Arif Latif and Chan Kwong Beng are hardly in the same class as Beng Hong which means the BA of Malaysia (BAM) must treat this issue seriously.
BAM received a major boost when the government approved a RM24 million proposal to build a national training academy in Cheras but more importantly, the national body must look at the talent pool and plan ahead to fill the vacuum which will be left when the current batch are through.
China used to be in a similar predicament with only Lin Dan their true match winner while the likes of Bao Chunlai and Chen Jin regularly caved in due to pressure.
But now China have their young legion waiting in the wings and some have already started making an impact. This group have been impressive in all but the men's doubles.
Qiu Yanbo, Du Pengyu, Wen Kai, Gong Weijie and Zhou Wenlong competed in the recent China Open and there are other back-up players including Chen Long and world junior champion Wang Zhengming at China's disposal in the men's singles.
Yanbo has taken Chong Wei to three games twice this year while Pengyu upset Indonesia's Taufik Hidayat to reach the last eight in Shanghai.
Wen Kai upset Denmark's No 3 Joachim Persson on his way to the semi-finals.
Chong Wei himself has said that Zhengming, Lin Dan's training partner, is a player for the future.
China's women's singles have been boosted further by the presence of Wang Lin, Wang Yihan and Zhu Jingjing who are regularly beating their seniors, while Cheng Shu-Zhao Yunlei should become the dominant force in the women's doubles next year.
Malaysia's only consolation is that Chong Wei is still good for another three years while women's doubles Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui should be around till at least the 2010 Asian Games.
The men's doubles is the only department which has several promising young pairs coming up the ranks and doubles head coach Rexy Mainaky's task is to turn them into world beaters.
Even Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong are good enough for another six years while world junior champions Mak Hee Chun-Teo Kok Siang and Ong Jian Guo-Goh Wei Shem are the ones who can make it big with the right guidance.
Badminton: Eei Hui-Pei Tty won't let top rankings go to their heads
By RAJES PAUL
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty are in a rare position as the top ranked women's doubles pair in the Super Series standings for the first time. But the duo are not about to let it go to their heads.
In fact, Eei Hui-Pei Tty have set a modest target in the Hong Kong Open, which began yesterday, even though they are the second seeds and have a good chance to reach their fourth consecutive final in the Super Series.
The top eight pairs in the standings after the Series' 12th and final round in the Hong Kong Open qualify for the Masters Finals in Kota Kinabalu from Dec 18-21.
"It feels good to be on top for the first time but we do not want to look into our Super Series rankings too much," said Pei Tty in a telephone interview from Hong Kong yesterday.
"Our target here is to give our best and stay focused. We will not go wrong if we stick to this approach."
Pei Tty was happy that they have managed to maintain their consistency in tournaments. They won the Danish Open and followed up with runners-up finishes at the French and China Opens.
En route to the final of the China Open in Shanghai last Sunday, they beat one of the South Korean top pairs — Kim Min-jung-Ha Jung-eun — for the first time.
"We lost to them in one previous match and it was good to beat them in Shanghai. Hopefully, we can maintain our consistency in Hong Kong too," said Pei-Tty.
Pei Tty-Eei Hui drew a first-round bye in the women's doubles of the Hong Kong Open and were not in action yesterday. They are in the same half as China's Zhang Yawen-Zhao Tingting and Pan Pan-Qian Tian.
The duo featured in the mixed doubles and had contrasting fortunes in the first round.
Pei Tty marched into the second round with Lim Khim Wah after a convincing 21-14, 21-12 win over Baptiste Careme-Laura Choinet of France to set up a meeting with the China Open champions Lee Yong-dae-Lee Hyo-jung of South Korea.
It was the end of the road for Eei Hui with Hoon Thien How. They went down tamely at 15-21, 10-21 to Zheng Bo-Ma Jin of China.
The first round of the men's singles and doubles will be played today and Malaysia will bank on top seed Lee Chong Wei and their top three pairs — Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong, Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari and Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah for honours.
congrats to w/c.they are now d officially world no2
There is nothing better than ending the year with a bang. Congratz to them ending with year-end #2.
Most Improved Pair by a Mile
Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui (left) have been the most
consistent pair according to coach Rexy.
WONG Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui may have lost in the semi-finals of the Hong Kong Open yesterday but there is no denying they are the most improved combination in the national doubles squad this year.
Zhang Yawen-Zhao Tingting secured a 21-13, 21-9 win over Pei Tty-Eei Hui but national doubles coach Rexy Mainaky wasn't complaining.
Rexy, in a telephone interview from Hong Kong, said Eei Hui had been playing with pain due to a sore right ankle but still managed to hold on until the semi-finals.
Pei Tty-Eei Hui had reached five finals this year and won the Denmark Open and reached another landmark when they became World No 2 on Thursday.
"They didn't play as well they did in the Denmark, French or China Opens but they have been our most consistent pair," said Rexy.
"Eei Hui has been struggling with the ankle problem and I've asked to go for an X-ray when she returns. She has proved she can play with pain unlike in the past where she just gives up.
"I will recommend they play in selected tournaments only as this will give them ample time to prepare and also win titles regularly next year.
"The top pairs from China and Korea used to take them lightly but they are aware of the threat from Pei Tty-Eei Hui now."
Pei Tty and Eei Hui may have to skip the National Grand Prix Finals in Alor Star on Dec 9-12 if the latter needs a longer rest to recover.
Their important objective is to aim for the Super Series Masters Finals in Kota Kinabalu on Dec 18-21 where they have a genuine chance of winning, thanks to their new found confidence and consistency. -- K.M. BOOPATHY

Ankle injury a big worry for doubles ace Eei Hui
KUALA LUMPUR: National doubles shuttler Chin Eei Hui (pic) will head straight for treatment on her ankle when she returns home from the Hong Kong Open.
Yesterday, Eei Hui and Wong Pei Tty failed to make their fourth consecutive final appearance in a Super Series when they crashed 13-21, 9-21 to China's Zhang Yawen-Zhao Tingting in the semi-finals.
National coach Rexy Mainaky blamed the defeat on Eei Hui-Pei Tty, the world No. 2, playing in too many tournaments without proper rest.
"The duo's movements were sluggish. Our physician has submitted a report on Eei Hui and her ankle doesn't look too good," said Rexy in a telephone interview.
"She will have an X-ray taken as soon as she arrives home." Rexy said the four back-to-back Super Series tournaments over the last two months had also taken its toll on Pei Tty.
"The Chinese were more consistent and played well today (yesterday). In the second game, Pei Tty was not in control. In this game alone, our pair committed 16 errors," said Rexy.
"Pei Tty is also feeling the strain of having played in too many tournaments. I will encourage my players to take a good rest."
It is fortunate that Eei Hui-Pei Tty did not qualify for the National Grand Prix Finals, which will be held in Alor Star from Dec 9-12.
They will now prepare for the Super Series Masters Finals to be held in Kota Kinabalu from Dec 18-21.
For the record, Pei Tty and Chin Eei had gotten the proverbial monkey off their backs by winning the Danish Open in October.
They followed it up with runner-up finishes in the French and China Opens.
The Danish Open was the duo's first title in six years.
i thought chin eei hui had recovered from her ankle injury? weird..
no wonder they lost in SF of HKO
and final of CO...got reason
i agreed...their performent very good during badminton game. Serious play !

Triclosan is a synthetic antimicrobial agent, which is classified as a Class III drug by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). As the result of its broad-spectrum bacteria-fighting ability, it has found increasingly popular use in personal care products, cosmetics, antimicrobial creams, acne treatments, lotions, hand soaps, and dish soaps. It is also used as an additive to plastics, polymers, textile, and implantable medical devices. Triclosan is most often used to kill bacteria on the skin and other surfaces and is sometimes used to preserve a product, including food.
The American Medical Association (AMA) has been urging the FDA to closely monitor and possibly regulate the home use of antimicrobials such as triclosan. The increasing popularity of antimicrobial products has preceded the study of the possible harmful affects of the use of such products.
Past research has shown that chloroform is produced when free chlorine reacts with organic material. "This is the first work that we know of that suggests that consumer products, such as antimicrobial soap, can produce significant quantities of chlorof

Welcome back I'm Greg Jarrett.
Algae could it be use it as usable energy.
Joining us now on talk about it is rigs Michael Barry whose CEO of origin oil rigs.
I already thought it was.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- Pachulia is old out is so yeah and in a way the world is using algae in that rate it's just been fossilized for a couple hundred million years.
Not today people are talking in and doing the algae.
Production thing to make petroleum.
Fresh every single day.
How do they do that.
Couple ways currently what's being done is.
We have to -- -- one that makes most nutritional products and the other one is trying to make these these wholesale fuels.
Right now all the fuel that's coming out to the navy and so forth this coming from the movement nutritional side.
So the using basically the vegetable oil coming out of the -- Where it's going is towards this mess.
Use the whole -- mode whereas the oil it's the protein carbohydrates.
-- all gets mashed up.
To a -- you know basically conversion process and turn -- to petroleum.
-- this transform.
The energy industry.
Well undoubtedly can because what we're doing is we're democratizing.
The source of all this fuel.
Everywhere there's CO2 you make algae so every single factory cement plant -- -- center -- And the planet is going to be a potential place where you can make fuel right on premises.
Where the out as being grown.
So in the future -- what does this mean.
Well technology is here the stage where -- is that right now is that trying to scale up.
There's a number of initiatives under way to get up to the -- hundred and ultimately thousand -- tar range.
I start being two and a half acres and so we're really working on -- is some great projects going on and that is the big task ahead of us is scaling up.
Is there a day in your mind when we can grow our own.
Energy needs.
I think the day in arm that that this is gonna happen is very much tied.
The stimulation that occurs for example the navy has a very strong program to get -- alternative fuels.
And that is gonna ultimately drive.
A lot of algae.
That's -- fuels being made in this country can we grow enough found three.
-- -- -- -- -- -- You know it I didn't measurement the other day you know the Bakken -- formation covers 35000 acres.
-- -- -- 5000 square miles in this country.
On that footprint you could make half the world's petroleum every single day so it's mostly.
And so.
-- so explain this how does that transform itself into everyday activities.
Well let's take.
A piece a land -- can be a barren piece a land dirty water.
Maybe wastewater.
Industrials so it CO2 coming in and all that is being -- then to grow this fast growing algae daily harvest.
On a piece a -- you would normally used for farming so it's ideal for fuel production right.
Now right there every day you get a daily harvest of let's say 45%.
Of that total.
And right on premises you turn it into fuel through processes that are now being down -- from the huge refining -- people have.
Down from on site solution.
That's beneficial and creates gasoline and diesel right on premises.
And the environmental impact is what.
-- is beneficial because algae as it grows releases oxygen.
Because it takes YouTube to turn the CO2 -- -- Quintana -- one -- of oxygen so you're actually improving is just like having a forest right that's a great thing.
So overall it's a very beneficial thing and went -- -- -- fuel it burns just like the car fuel without all the toxins associated with fossil fuels -- in this.
-- this is a wonderful thing so why isn't it happening on a mass scale.
What is happening.
The you know what people realize.
That now.
Things have to be built for example is take Australia.
There are massive upgrades occurring to sites that are that -- pilot -- very recently and now they're being upgraded rapidly.
And so going to be get up into the hundred nektar again thousand tactile level but that's surfaced he built you wanna build a thousand -- our side it's gonna take.
345 years so really at that building stage right now.
Well I'm very hopeful I presume you are too.
Well I love the subject and we're very excited to be in the space and and doing our part as as -- Nine.
-- -- very CEO of origin oil thank you so much for giving us a glimpse of the future.

In this section, we will learn how to convert Text to Binary. The following program provides you the functionality to convert Text to Binary.
Code Description:
In the program code below, to take the input from the keyboard we have used BufferReader() method in which we have passed an object of it which is InputStreamReader() as must be knowing. Then we have defined a variable of type int which will convert the input to integer line by line. Now we have used a loop here to check the number we well input. It will take maximum of 24 bytes as we have declared maxBytes=3. Hence it will convert the number into bytes one by one.
Here is the code of the program:
import java.io.*;
Output of the program:
C:\unique>javac TexttoBinary.java C:\unique>java TexttoBinary Type the number to parse: 417893 0000001100110000001100101 Type the number to parse: 3289 0000000000000110011011001 Type the number to parse: |

How much of a bump will Obama get?
May 4th, 2011 at 7:00 am by David FarrarThe more I read about the Osama operation, the more you realise what a risk it was. This wasn't some dumb luck, or bombs hitting the right place. It is a story of intelligence agencies piecing together a puzzle over many months, and then havign enough trust in the intelligence, but also the SEALs, to send a team in. If the mission had turned out the same as Jimmy Carter's helicopters in Iran, then Obama would probably be joining Carter as a one term President.
But the mission was flawless – no soldiers dead, no civilians dead, no neighbour destroyed etc.
Now this will not guarantee Obama is re-elected, but it sure will give his poll numbers a boost for a fair while. And it will pretty much permamently put heed to any notion of him not being tough enough on the war on terror.
Nate Silver blogs:
Historically, the correlation between a president's overall approval rating and his rating on foreign affairs is stronger than is the case with his rating on the economy. If you place the two variables into a regression equation, it finds that foreign affairs is the more important component, although both are clearly statistically significant.
That is a surprise, as common wisdom is economic issues trump everything.
Unless the economic indicators significantly outperform consensus expectations, the election is still liable to be fairly close, with Mr. Obama hardly assured of coming out on top.
I think one of the boggest factors will be the quality of the Republican candidate also. Donald Trump is threatening to turn the race into a joke.

Car Shoppers Rank Most Motivating Automotive Guarantees
On Wednesday, Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com) announced the results of the latest Kelley Blue Book Market Research survey of new-car shoppers, which detailed the types of auto manufacturer financial assurance and guarantee programs they find most motivating.
Hyundai announced a program earlier this year, called the Hyundai Assurance Program, which successfully increased consumer confidence and spurred new-car sales of the Hyundai brand. Hyundai traffic on kbb.com also saw spikes of 35 percent the week the program made its' debut. Taking into consideration consumer opinions, similar programs were announced this week by Ford – Ford Advantage Plan and by General Motors (GM Total Confidence).
New car shoppers were asked how motivated they would be to purchase a vehicle if a manufacturer offered one of the following guarantee options in the event that they were faced with job loss or other serious financial challenges:
• 76 percent of new-car shoppers said they are most motivated by a no-fault return option.
• 75 percent of shoppers said they liked the idea of payment assistance, where a manufacturer covers payments on the car-buyers' behalf for a specified period of time, as well as deferred payments up to six months without penalties.
• 63 percent of shoppers said they were most motivated by a trade-down plan, which is the ability to trade-down to a cheaper/smaller vehicle to reduce payments.
• 49 percent said they liked a gradual payment ladder, which lowers payments for the first few months, working up to full payment amount over time.
Paul Johnson, who is president and chief executive officer of Kelley Blue Book and kbb.com, said that taking the risk out of car-buying right now is the key to getting consumers back into dealerships:
"These new assurances offered by the domestic auto manufacturers, new tax incentives and government-backed warranties, as well as our President's promise that he will 'not let our auto industry simply vanish,' should allay fears, diminish the risk and hopefully get shoppers to once again reconsider domestic vehicles."
Which automotive guarantee motivates you?
