Mitt Romney's presidential campaign is making a last-minute push in two states that should be safe for Obama: Pennsylvania and Minnesota.
Romney campaigned in Pennsylvania on Sunday and goes back to the Keystone State on Election Day. Republican running mate Rep. Paul Ryan campaigned in Pennsylvania Saturday and in Minnesota on Sunday, and the campaign's up with ads in both states.
Is this a head fake by the Romney campaign, or do they see the tightening public opinion polls in both states as evidence they might be able to turn Pennsylvania and Minnesota from blue to red?
The Romney campaign says it's playing offense. The Obama campaign says the move is a sign of desperation by the Romney campaign. We'll find out who's right on election night.

FYI: (COUGH - COUGH)President Bush spent 32% of his presidency on vacation.
Dubya even surpassed Reagan in total vacation days in 2005 with three and a half years left in his presidency.
Reagan spent all or part of 335 days in Santa Barbara over his 8 year presidency.
Bush spent 487 days at Camp David during his presidency and 490 days at his Crawford, Texas ranch, a total of 977 days.
When you add the days President Bush spent at Kennebunkport, Maine, he spent a total of 1,020 days away from the White House — close to 3 years.
At 1,020 days, Bush was close to being on vacation more days than both President Nixon and Johnson, whose Libraries indicate those two Presidents were on vacation less than 1,000 days during their terms.
No President since Reagan was on vacation less than Bill Clinton.
Yes Publicans both Democratic President's Clinton and Carter vacationed the least of any of the last seven chief executives

The Campaign+ series of reports that are on the LifeLine service are some of the most actionable that I have seen. You get lead funnels, top paths of leads and can group banners, email marketing and print into campaigns. Not only that but you can easily see your campaigns in context with your other traffic generators such as search engines.

Hi Dave
Your round up point about different teams needing different things from web analytics (and indeed your original question) is a crucial and very interesting one. Based on our experience of talking to end users, I would observe the following:
- Most companies buy a solution to meet a short term need. For example, with the recent rise of search engine marketing and PPC, and online marketing more generally, there is a clear demand for campaign analytics as your original post highlights.
- Buyers are interested in minimizing risk and cost, particularly given the current climate. They need to justify expenditure in terms of ROI in the short term, they like to be able to have flexibility in the way they pay for things and they are wary of being tied into a solution that then doesn't work.
- Different people in an organisation will respond to (and hence be open to buying) different solutions. The campaigns team are interested, not surprisingly, in measuring and optimising the ROI from their campaigns. It will be difficult to sell them a "holistic CRM" solution. The Marketing Director, however, has the budget, strategic overview etc. that means he/she may just buy into that holistic CRM solution.
For the reasons above we have seen a distinct swing in favour of Application Service Provider (ASP) web analytics solutions i.e. outsourced ones using tags of some kind in the site's pages (images, code..). The attraction of this approach may in part be driven by perceptions of increased accuracy of data and reporting, and in part because it takes away the headache of managing the IT infrastructure, and in part because it appears to be easy to implement. However, perhaps the biggest attraction is that it can help minimize risk both in terms of cost exposure and not losing control. "If it doesn't work after 6 months we'll just change to someone else…".
That said, based on our own experiences and those of others I would further say:
- a 'holistic', 'integrated' (insert other buzzwords..) solution really is best in the long term. If you buy multiply point solutions for specific tasks there will come a time when you want to try and integrate all that data to get the bigger picture ('end to end', 'closed loop' etc.). And that's not so easy. Particularly if you want to do it real-time…
- I think you are more tied to an ASP solution than some might think/hope. Yes, you own the data and could, in theory, take that to another provider if you decided to switch and wanted to keep the historic perspective. But that data migration process isn't always as easy as you might like. More than that, the real value in a tool or web analytics solutions actually comes most from the ease / seamlessness with which it integrates with your business processes – or how well your business users work with it. So the tie in is more about process and inertia than technology.
- Despite my preference for the holistic approach, I don't think you need to try and do everything at once. You might start with campaign analytics, get that nailed, and then move on to other areas until you have that full picture. (similar story for content management…)
So how do you reconcile the above? As a buyer of web analytics I'd like a solution where I could buy into a module – say the campaign analytics part – but know that I had an upgrade path to the big picture I'm ultimately aiming for. This way I can minimize my initial costs, make sure I could demonstrate to my management an ROI in one area before further investing in others, and yet I'm also not worried about not being able to deliver the big picture in the longer term. In this age of Web Services this seems eminently possible.
I think perhaps the web analytics providers could do better at how they engage with clients on this basis. Meet the current need at a reasonable cost but describe how the solution can grow over time to meet future needs. It's not easy though. As the replies above show, the answer from any web analytics company is likely to be 'whatever you want to do, we can do it'. This makes it harder to tell them apart. Do you think they should specialize more – by area of measurement, by industry sector etc?
Two additional factors you need to take into account are:
1) value and profitability of both the actual sale and subsequent sales. What marketers are looking for is customers with high margin purchases rather than just the bottom of the range so that you can rank the performance of your expenditure by profitability not just volume of conversion. If you can identify routes that bring both high margin sales and customers who will make repeat purchases then you've hit the motherlode.
2) the web is just one of the channels to market. A high proportion of organisations have multiple routes and while the web may be used for information gathering the resultant sale may be made through a call centre or a branch outlet. Understanding the place of the web in the whole transaction can be very valuable. Why should the call centre people get all the credit when the web input has been significant!Both these factors require the ability to link into corporate databases to integrate external data and its this capability of Pilot HitList that we have used to help some of our customers understand the value of their promotional investments.

Leading Enterprise-Grade Open Source Database
Ingres Database 10
Actian has pulled out all stops with the release of Ingres Database 10 making it even easier to migrate away from Big Software. The recent mergers and acquisition activity in the database market has left customers very concerned about the future of their software purchase and has left them desiring more stable and reliable alternatives. Actian reached out and listened, and as a result, we've come out with a new version of our database software to meet the demands for a suitable alternative, from a reliable company. Ingres Database 10.0 not only meets the needs of those looking to migrate from cost prohibitive database solutions, it meets the needs of those who are seeking a standards based alternative. Ease of migration + performance + economic benefits of open source = Ingres Database 10. There has never been a better time to make the move!
New Features
Ingres Database 10 provides easy migration from MySQL and proprietary databases such as Oracle, SQL Server and Sybase.
- Multi-Version Concurrency Control provides concurrent access to the database or a "snapshot" version for each user to work with, so that queries never block other users, and updates block only when changing the same row.
- New SQL types, functions and compatibility features ease migrations of existing applications from other databases to Actian 10.
- A community-based Migration Toolkit hosted on Sourceforge can assist customers in migrating to Ingres from Oracle's Enterprise and MySQL databases.
Growth Opportunity for Partners
Ingres Database 10 gives partners an advantage with its inherent security, performance enhancements, ease of migration and community innovations. New features enable better integration with off-the-shelf software and improve the performance of applications that rely on complex queries. Today the partner community taking advantage of the power and flexibility of the Ingres Database is hundreds strong.
New Performance Enhancements
Ingres Database 10 improves performance of bulk loading by upwards of 50% and enables the same high performance loading via our standards based JDBC 4.0 driver. Queries on partitioned tables are more efficient, including a unique ability to perform dynamic partition pruning during query processing.
Improved Security
Ingres Database 10 adds column encryption capabilities that were driven by the Actian community and completed by Actian. Column encryption enables database administrators to secure specific fields in a record such as credit card numbers, social security numbers or personal identification (PIN) numbers without having to encrypt the entire table.
Community Contributions
Ingres Database 10 shines a light on innovative community contributions which include new additions to the database engine that were added by its community members. In addition to involvement with column level encryption, the Actian community delivered other valuable contributions such as new SQL functions by Marty Bowes of the Ingres User Association in the United Kingdom, and productized by the Actian Engineering team.
Commitment to Standards
Ingres continues to support the latest standards, and with this release, adds support for JDBC 4.0 which improves Java application access to SQL data stores while still benefiting from the full power of the JDBC API.

Thad Starner got his first computer in 1982 -- long before PCs hit the mainstream.
He began wearing his own customized computer device during graduate school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1993.
And today the York native is working with a team at Google on augmented reality glasses for Project Glass.
Google released details last month about Project Glass, one of the company's secretive initiatives being worked on in the Google X laboratory near its home base in Mountain View, Calif.
The video released by Google displays the functionality of the glasses through the eyes of someone wearing them.
The wearer is able to eat breakfast while responding to a request to meet up, snap pictures, save time by receiving a notification that the subway is closed, and easily follow directions to his destination while wearing the glasses.
Photos on Google show people wearing what look like a pair of eyeglasses minus the lenses, with a thicker band resembling a USB-drive on the right side of the device stretching slightly into the field of vision.
Starner is no stranger to wearable computers, as he first donned one in 1993 during his graduate courses at the MIT.
That computer had goggles with an attached monitor and small keyboard and mouse, all powered by a CPU box with local memory and hard disk.
Starner has been sporting a wearable computer ever since, but the one he wears today is much simpler and faster.
"I have everything in my life on my computer; a lot of people have stuff on cell phones and desktops, but I have everything on my wearable," he said.
His background: The customized device allows Starner to take notes while he works, snap pictures on the go, and multitask effortlessly.
Starner graduated from Dallastown Area High School in 1987 and went on to graduate from MIT with a bachelor's degree in brain and cognitive science and a bachelor's degree in computer science, a master's degree in media arts and science, and a Ph.D. in media arts and sciences from the MIT media laboratory.
His doctoral work, titled "Wearable Computing and Contextual Awareness," dealt with pattern recognition and how wearable computing can be used for purposes such as recognizing hand motions used in sign language.
"This was before Wi-Fi or Bluetooth," Starner said. "Our efforts at MIT directly impacted Bluetooth standards."
He was part of a group that showed a device with an mp3 player to Sony, but Sony officials were not interested because they said it would encourage piracy.
"Almost everything came from Apple. We never expected that Apple would be the ones to break through these sort of monopolies and make wearable computers a reality," said Starner, referring to devices such as iPods and iPhones.
Starner met Larry Page and Sergey Brin, cofounders of Google, in 1998, and they talked about how cool it would be to have a computer in your eyeball. Later, Page offered him a job with Google.
His parents, Rita and Roy Richard Starner Jr., live in York Township.
Help from Mom: "When he was 12 he wanted a computer, and his father and I decided that if he wanted a computer he would have to pay for it. So he had a yard sale and sold all of his toys to get a computer," said Rita Starner.
He used his mother as his subject when he practiced his software building skills growing up.
"I am illiterate when it comes to the computer and all that stuff, and he used to say, 'Mom come back and try to crash this,' so then he would leave, and being computer illiterate I would indeed crash it and he'd say, 'OK I need to do better,'" Rita Starner explained.
Starner splits his time between Google and being a faculty member at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, where he lives with his wife.

With AO Booster you now have an arsenal of powerful fat-soluble antioxidants to provide even more immune system-boosting power to the water-soluble ones provided in Super Antioxidant. In addition, with AO Booster you'll also notice benefits for your eyes and skin, reduced muscle soreness and inflammation, as well as potentially increased endurance via enhanced fats-for-fuels utilization.
If there were only one or two types of free radicals negatively affecting our bodies, we'd be able to get by with one, maybe two, antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E. The truth, however, is that there are a number of free radicals, both water-soluble and fat-soluble, which is why a wide variety of antioxidants is necessary. Additionally, not only do antioxidants work on a specific type (or types) of free radical, most-to-all of them work synergistically, supporting, augmenting, and enhancing the effects of other antioxidants. The oft-used saying, "The whole is greater than the sum of the parts" is quite appropriate when talking about antioxidants and how they work in the human body.

No. If a block on the disk as gone bad, the following can happen: 1) You write to it. In which case the disk automatically re-allocates the block somewhere else and writes your data perfectly - the only impact of this is possibly lower sequential read performance later on, if the disk needs to seek somewhere else to read that particular block. 2) You read it. In which case the disk can see that the checksum has failed. There's nothing it can do about this except give you a read error on that block. Of course, modern disks have pretty sophisticated error detection/correction, and I wouldn't be surprised if disks automatically moved or re-wrote blocks if they saw more frequent non-fatal (correctable) read failures on a block. But this is probably vendor and model specific. No matter what, you still end up in either situation (1) or (2) from above, if you get to the point where a block is distorted beyond repair. A good RAID controller *may* help you with scenario (2) above; it can read the block from a mirror or compute it from parity (etc.), and may even re-write the correct block to the disk again to cure this single bad-block failure (by letting the disk re-allocate the block on a write as in case (1) above). -- / jakob

He earned a degree in forestry engineering at the College of Forestry in Trutnov and then studied Sports-Biology at Charles University in Prague. After immigrating to the United States, Martin acquired a degree and qualified as a deep sea commercial diver from the Divers Academy of the Eastern Seaboard. This afforded him extensive experience in mixed gas diving, hyperbaric chamber operations and saturation diving.
His passion for physiology and sports biology led him to further explore what the human body experiences while freediving. Martin found himself working closely with top researchers from prestigious universities like Harvard and the Karolynski Institutet of Sweden to uncover some of the physiological mysteries behind his sport. His participation in this ongoing research has helped scientists better understand the impact that depth and pressure have on freedivers.
Martin can hold his breath for over eight minutes and dive down to over 350 feet on a single breath of air. In the course of six years he has set ten freediving world records in several disciplines: static apnea, constant ballast, variable ballast and free immersion. In addition to competing, Martin is also a certified international level B freediving judge for the International Association for the Development of Apnea (AIDA).
As a senior instructor for Performance Freediving International, he developed educational materials for clinics that he taught to over a thousand people worldwide. He is also an instructor trainer for the International Association of Nitrox and Technical Divers (IANTD). He continues to train competitively and set world records in various disciplines. Martin is presently the Director of Training and Development of Freediving Instructors and Trainers (FIT), through which he hopes to educate and inspire people about his sport.

How to Determine Nitrogen Rate Adjustments for Next Year
by Steve Bridge
posted Aug 21 2012 12:57PM
A terribly dry season has producers facing low yields at harvest and uncertainty about nitrogen rate adjustments for the 2013 corn crop. University of Illinois Assistant Professor of Crop Sciences, Fabian Fernandez, states as a general rule corn following soybean needs less nitrogen.
The quantity and quality of soybean residue reduces the amount of immobilization and increases the amount of nitrogen mineralization from crop residue and the soil. In areas affected by the drought nitrogen take up was reduced, leaving large amounts left in the field. Fernandez says it can be difficult to estimate the amount of nitrogen left in the field. He suggests farmers measure soil nitrate levels. To do so, farmers should collect 12 soil core samples from throughout a field at a depth of two to three feet. According to Fernandez, the two foot depth should be adequate where little nitrate movement is expected, while the three-foot depth is appropriate where rain may have moved the nutrient deeper.
A Corn Nitrogen Rate Calculator can be used to calculate the maximum return to nitrogen. To access the calculator visit

It was cold overnight and a freeze warning has been issued again for central Illinois tonight and into Thursday morning. The overnight lows coming up do look to be three to four degrees warmer than last night. Did that freeze have any ill effects on specialty crop growers in the area? Gail Johnson is the owner of the Apple Barn. I talked with her early this morning and checked in on how things south of town came through the night.

USDA cuts soybean, wheat supply, leaves corn unchanged
USDA has tightened domestic ending stocks projections for soybeans and wheat, while leaving corn unchanged.
Corn ending stocks were left steady with last month at 801 million bushels with no changes to the balance sheet. Before the report, analysts were expecting a sizable decrease but the supply is still considerably below last year's level. The average farm price for corn is estimated at $6 to $6.40 per bushel. Mike Krueger, of the Money Farm, shared his thoughts from the the Minneapolis Grain Exchange
Also, USDA lowered its Argentine corn production estimate a half million tons to 21.5 million and cut beans 1.5 million tons to 45 million, while leaving Brazil corn unchanged at 62 million tons and lowering soybeans 2.5 million tons to 66 million.
Soybean ending stocks were reported at 250 million bushels, down 25 million from a month ago but up 35 million from a year ago. USDA raised the crush and export estimates as expected while making modest cuts to the seed and residual use categories. The average farm price for soybeans is estimated at $12 to $12.50 per bushel.

Illinois Ag Legislative Day
by Steve Bridge
posted Mar 28 2012 9:07AM
So what are the issues at the 42
Legislative Day? The Illinois Farm Bureau Executive Director of Governmental Affairs Mark Gebhards says property rights are being pushed to the forefront.
The Lt. Governor Shelia Simon addressed the attendees after the breakfast that was held in the hall of Flags in the Hawlett Building. Simon the only constitutional officer from downstate Illinois says she understands being looked at to be the voice of agriculture and rural Illinois. She says if more people understood how much Ag contributed there would be better an understanding from all groups.
Chris Steppig, the State FFA Reporter, say the day is a perfect time for members of the FFA to practice public speaking and engage in the public process of lawmaking.

The spread of technology on the farm continues at a rapid pace. Ag Leader Technology is taking a step from the cab of tractors and combines directly into the field. They released OpTrx a crop sensing technology that can determine on the go nitrogen map in a corn field. Josh Rasmussen says this technology can come save money in a field when side dressing anhydrous.
