Those who know me know that I love the concept of multiclassing. I love when digital plays with real. When nerdery exists with business. When education holds hands with gaming. When technology tangos with art. And I have the good fortune of living in the Philadelphia area. So let’s take those aforementioned topics and throw them all into one mixing bowl for a second. That’s what I was able to experience Friday night celebrating the kickoff for Philly Tech Week.
And that celebration? Playing PONG. On the side of the Cira Centre. Which is a building over 400 feet tall. From about a mile out. For all the city to see. Magical.
Philly Tech week is an annual celebration of technology and the arts through over 100 events, naturally taking place in the city of brotherly love. As Technically Philly‘s Christopher Wink said at the event, Philly Tech Week is to show folks the amazing minds and the amazing work that’s being done in the Philadelphia area, and about the intersection of arts and technology to inspire the region. This year to kick it off along those lines, Dr. Frank Lee of Drexel University and his crew rigged the Cira Centre with hundreds of LED’s, each one mapped to its own IP address (pretty slick right?), and coded a version of PONG that could communicate with each of those lights. The controls were outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the rest of the party was. So from the museum steps famous for that Rocky training montage, denizens of our fair city could watch some classic gameplay on an 83,000 square foot makeshift screen.
Why PONG though? In the words of Dr. Lee when he spoke to Polygon last month, ”Pong is part of our culture,” he said. “Pong lives in every game that came since then. If you get down the tree of the life of the video game, it will lead at the root to Pong. Pong was the first successful commercial game.” Makes a lot of sense given that the good doctor describes himself as a gamer, and he was also one of the two paddle combatants in the inaugural match. He defeated Jerry Sweeney, CEO of the Brandywine Realty Trust, the company that owns the Cira Centre. It was a clash of titans – Sweeney, the guy that owns the building, taking on Lee, the guy hacking it.
Outside of the main event, there were classic arcade machines set up as well as some live chuptunes. The whole thing was threatened by weather, but in addition to Dr. Lee and Mr. Sweeney about 60 players were able to go to old school war in the hour and change the event was able to last. Luckily for the couple hundred of other folks that were there to see the action, the rain held off for a good bit. Unfortunately for me though, it started just in time to render me drenched by the time i finished my trek from the Art Museum to Suburban Station to catch my train home.
Dr. Lee talked about working with the Guinness folks about establishing the world record for the biggest video game ever. Apparently something similar was done by Atari in Kansas City a while back, but that was only a 22 story building. The Cira Centre is 29, so mathematically there shouldn’t be any issues getting the record confirmed.
It was an awesome time and a great way to kick off the events of the coming week. Oh and by the way, in your face Kansas City.

Coventry City Council is offering do-it-yourself funerals in a bid to cut costs.
The council is buying 10 grave liners to allow the Muslim community to bury their dead at weekends and over Bank Holidays.
The decision means that graveyard staff do not have to be on call or work anti-social hours.
Graham Duggan, environmental services manager at the council, said the liners would soon be installed at the Lentons Lane graveyard in the city.
"In the Muslim faith people have to reduce the death-to-burial time as much as possible. They are looking for a quick burial as part of their beliefs and that poses problems for burial authorities when it comes to weekends and Bank Holidays.
"We have looked at various options to improve the service. We offered a Saturday morning service and looked at providing stand-by cover but that proved too expensive.
"Muslims can use these chambers by themselves as long as the death has been registered and the paper work is in order. We will provide them with tools to open the chambers which are tamper-proof. Then our staff will cover them over when they return to work.
"Obviously, if a death occurs in the week we will be on hand to over the normal service but this will be very useful at times like Easter.
"We had 19 Muslim funerals last year so we are not talking great numbers, but this will be an improved service to their community."
Mr Duggan added that Coventry was one of the first councils in the country to use the grave liners but said he expected them to become widely used across the UK.

Researchers have analyzed the outcomes of millions of games of online poker they found something pretty remarkable: the poker players who won most often also lost the most money. How can that be possible?
Online poker playing involves many many risky decisions some for small stakes and some for large stakes. Researchers have analyzed the outcomes of millions of games of online poker they found something pretty remarkable: the poker players who won most often also lost the most money. How can that be possible?
The simple explanation is that those players tended to win games involving small amounts of money, but tended to lose games involving large amounts of money, the players who win most often are aggressive and stay in many hands even if they don’t have the best cards.
Most of the time this seems like a good strategy because they discourage the other players from playing and they can collect pots with relatively small amounts of money over and over. But, some of the time the play aggressively when they have a pretty good hand but someone else turns out to have an even better hand and then they lose a very big pot of money.
This raises an important question: Why didn’t these players will learn from those large losses? The answer follows naturally from reference dependence, dopamine neurons are very sensitive to whether you win or lose but are less sensitive to how much you win or lose.
So, when a poker player wins $10 that is coded as a good event the players brain effectively motivates them to keep playing losing a very large amount of money say $1000 is coded as a bad event but it doesn’t seem 100 times worse than the good of its. Which means that winning small amounts and losing big amounts is a great way to manipulate the activity of dopamine neurons, but it’s also a quick path to bankruptcy.
On a more positive note, very successful poker players lose most of the time when but when they lose they lose small amounts of money and when they win they win big. So, you can see why reference dependence is one of the big ideas and behavioral economics. This leads to some the most striking, biases in our choice behavior biases that we can learn to minimize in order to make better choices.
One of the most famous such biases is called the endowment effect. This bias has deep consequences for decision-making. Imagine taking an apple and cutting off a small slice off of inside giving a circle of fruit about an inch in diameter. How valuable is that little slice of apple?
Perhaps it is very valuable to you, but you aren’t a capuchin monkey. Capuchins are small and very cute New World monkeys that really really like apples. In an ingenious experiment Capuchin monkeys were trained as exchange coin like tokens for treats like slices of apple. Their exchanges were price-sensitive.
A monkey might equally prefer apple slices and cereal cubes, if both cost one token per piece, but if the price of serial cubes dropped to say one token per two cubes the monkey would choose the cheaper serial cubes. The monkeys were first endowed with one type of food like apple slices then given the chance to trade for another equally valued food like cereal cubes.
The monkeys only traded about 10% of the time, that is they preferred whatever food they were randomly assigned. That’s an endowment effect. The monkeys overvalue what ever they have compared to what they could get. Of course there might be other explanations the monkeys might not like to trade food at all once they have.
So, the researchers ran the experiment again now allow the monkeys to trade their apple slices for the best treats of all: fruit roll ups filled with marshmallow fluff. Now the monkeys were willing to trade about 90% of the time. It wasn’t that the monkeys didn’t want to trade, they just show the endowment effect and overvalue what they already had.
It’s tempting to dismiss this example, after all we humans are much smarter and much better decision-makers the 6 pound Capuchin monkey. But, we humans, do the same thing even if the endowment effect originally attracted the attention of economists because it helps explain some puzzling features a market behavior, such as the fact that people don’t trade goods as often as predicted by economic models.

Well, our house under construction. Men are working on a two-story deck. So far they've done SO good!!!! I've been on BOTH stories. They already have the roof up on the second story. So they also have the doors up!! They are really fast at doing their job!
Oh, a deck with a roof must look really cute! I think it’s a good idea because the deck will stay open yet private and protected. I’d love to see pictures of the finished deck. Do you have any posted somewhere?

text: On Friday, December 18th, the boys and I were at the Asheville House when suddenly and without much warning, came a Big Snow! Really Big Snow. We threw, literally, our things into the car (which was no small event since both Patrick and Egan had to take computers, camera gear and school bags plus clothes) and started out. I had to switch to 4-wheel drive before the half-way mark. It was scary but pretty awesome too. It was the hardest and thickest snow I have ever seen (except for Zermatt, Switzerland on Thanksgiving 1984!) and the roads were covered fast. We dumped Patrick and his gear off at Ty Underwood’s house and Egan and I made it to Saluda House. Danny was on the way but we warned him he could not get his car to the house. Danny got into Saluda, his car stuck, and the Police drove him out here. Thank goodness. Foolishly I tried to drive the Blue Car to the end of Austin Lane but got it stuck too. Egan, Danny and I had a blast playing in the snow and on Sunday we were able to get to Patrick and bring him home. It was fun – still is. It is now…..Thursday, December 24th (Christmas Eve) and the boys were still able to Sled down our Cabin Road this morning. To see my Favorite Snow photos CLICK HERE!

lowercased: on friday, december 18th, the boys and i were at the asheville house when suddenly and without much warning, came a big snow! really big snow. we threw, literally, our things into the car (which was no small event since both patrick and egan had to take computers, camera gear and school bags plus clothes) and started out. i had to switch to 4-wheel drive before the half-way mark. it was scary but pretty awesome too. it was the hardest and thickest snow i have ever seen (except for zermatt, switzerland on thanksgiving 1984!) and the roads were covered fast. we dumped patrick and his gear off at ty underwood’s house and egan and i made it to saluda house. danny was on the way but we warned him he could not get his car to the house. danny got into saluda, his car stuck, and the police drove him out here. thank goodness. foolishly i tried to drive the blue car to the end of austin lane but got it stuck too. egan, danny and i had a blast playing in the snow and on sunday we were able to get to patrick and bring him home. it was fun – still is. it is now…..thursday, december 24th (christmas eve) and the boys were still able to sled down our cabin road this morning. to see my favorite snow photos click here!

There's certainly no shortage of excellent choices when it comes to selecting the Android-powered phone that's right for you in 2018. Now that Phonetober is out of the way, we've got a massive list of amazing devices to choose from, one of which is certain to get you excited for its new features and powerful new hardware. Our lists aren't just to display the absolute best phone available though, they're primarily designed to help people looking for a specific niche or need, as many of these phones specialize in one area or another. Ready to find your next phone?
Google's Pixel project has long been a mainstay for Android enthusiasts, but something has changed a bit this year. It still offers the most "pure" experience you'll find among many big-name vendors, but that pure experience has taken on a bit of a different look and feel with Android 9 Pie. As the most polarizing version of Android ever, Android 9 Pie introduces some big changes to navigation and multitasking that some users are less than thrilled with, while others feel right at home with the new systems. Google has had its fair share of issues with the Pixel 3 family this year, but there's something the Pixel family has that no other Android phone can claim: regular monthly software updates. Sometimes these are just security patches, other times they aim to fix problems or introduce new features, but it's the update schedule that has had many folks sold on the idea of owning Google's own phone, regardless of the issues these updates can sometimes cause. Google also offers unlimited full-size photo and video backup through its cloud services, as well as excellent support straight within the settings menu. You can pick up the Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL straight from Google, or via Project Fi and Verizon.
Unlike some devices, the HTC U12+ keeps getting better with age, as HTC has solved many of the issues folks had when the phone first launched, including fixes to those unique force-touch buttons on the side. The HTC U12+ offers a more advanced side-sensing technology than any other phone out there, offering the ability to use taps and squeezes on the sides in addition to just touching the screen with your finger. In addition to these excellent gestures, the cameras on the HTC U12+ still rank among the best out there, and the audio recording quality on videos is second to none. With the ability to not just zoom in on your subject with higher video quality, thanks to the secondary telephoto lens, but to also hone in on the audio coming from that particular spot with the amazing directional microphones on the device. It's a powerful phone with powerful features, but be sure to check out our review if you want more info!
Gamers are certainly going to be familiar with the name Razer, and folks who are looking for the best possible mobile gaming experience don't need to look anywhere else. With an eye-watering 120hz screen up front, the frame rates from the Razer Phone 2 are going to blow your mind, delivering the smoothest gaming performance of any phone on the market, bar none. Combine this with a stellar pair of stereo front-facing speakers and a new sleeker glass build with RGB lighting, you'd got a gamer's dream all packed into one device.
Despite Sony recently releasing the Xperia XZ3, which features a significantly improved screen and sleeker design over its predecessor, the Xperia XZ2 still packs all the same main specs and identical rear-camera setup for a fraction of the price of Sony's latest. It's also got the advantage of offering a choice of two sizes, while the Xperia XZ3 only comes in one large size. There's no doubting the Xperia XZ3 is an improvement in many ways over the XZ2, but when it comes to value it's hard to argue against the XZ2's excellent price, as the larger Xperia XZ2 can be had for around $650, while the smaller XZ2 Compact is selling for around $500 at this time of writing. Compare that with the $900 price tag of the XZ3 and you'll quickly understand why the XZ2 is such a great deal. Check out our reviews to find out more!
The LG V40 ThinQ is a device that shines in every possible way, from its excellent display to the 5 cameras on the body, this is a stunning phone any way you look at it. A new design that takes much from the Spring's LG G7 ThinQ combines the solid feeling of that phone with the excellent OLED displays of the LG V series, stellar vibration motors that give the phone a depth of quality most simply don't have, as well as an amazing set of cameras with powerful manual modes, tons of extra features, and the ability to use all three rear cameras in one amazing shot. Looking for a powerhouse of a device? Look no further than LG's latest and greatest, the LG V40 ThinQ.
OnePlus has released two flagship devices each and every year for the past two years, but this year is something different. While previous years have debuted a "turbo-charged" model that replaces the Spring flagship, OnePlus doesn't look to necessarily be replacing the OnePlus 6 with the OnePlus 6T, rather it's offering both phones at the same time, sporting nearly identical specs, but offering different ways of unlocking the phone. The OnePlus 6 sports a rear-facing fingerprint scanner, while the OnePlus 6T offers up an in-glass fingerprint scanner instead. The OnePlus 6T is also available at T-Mobile US officially, sold in all T-Mobile stores nationwide, marking the first time OnePlus has made an official Stateside debut. With blazing fast speed, a stellar camera, near non-existent bezels, and faster than average update schedules, both phones offer a compelling, speedy experience that certainly deserves a look, especially at the price offered. Going for $529 and $549 for the OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T, respectively, you'll find most flagship features on this device despite a lower price tag.
Huawei's Mate 20 family is an incredible line of devices that covers just about every niche one could think of. Whether it's utilizing advanced 3D facial recognition or in-glass fingerprint scanning to unlock the phone, feeling the luxurious etched glass texture on the back of either phone, or taking in the near-bezelless design of both Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro, Huawei has crafted another stellar series of phones that's sure to please. The rear camera configuration has been redesigned when comparing to the Spring's Huawei P20 and P20 Pro, and while it still features 3 cameras, the secondary monochrome camera has been replaced with a new RGB sensor that's behind a wide-angle lens, also capable of shooting some amazing macro photography. There's even a whole host of new AI-powered video modes that can isolate a subject and blur the background for a more SLR-like look, or even take black & white video with colorized people, zoom in on a subject and always keep them in frame automatically, and plenty more. These phones are as feature-packed as you can get, so be sure to take a look at what's available between the two because it's going to be tough to match these specs and features anywhere.
No company has covered the term "value" as well as Xiaomi, and it's their new brand that is once again redefining the word. The Pocophone F1 by Xiaomi sports identical internal specs as even the most expensive flagship devices but does so at a truly unbelievable price of $350. With a price like that it's obvious that some corners had to be cut, but most of the experience is more than just acceptable, it's generally fantastic. A 6.18-inch 2246 x 1080 resolution LCD display and dual-rear cameras match the specs of many top-of-the-line phones, and Xiaomi's MIUI 10 brings a beautiful, feature-rich software vision to the phone. With 6GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 845, you're going to be multitasking with power and blazing through the latest mobile games. There's little not to like here, and while it doesn't bring about the ultra-premium-feeling builds of more expensive phones or the absolute best camera in the business, it's hard to argue when you can buy 3 Pocophones for the price of a single flagship in many cases.
If you want features, value, the best displays in the business, and arguably the most well-rounded camera experience out there, look no further than Samsung's latest phones. While some years have shown Samsung devices are overrated when compared to other phones, 2018 has treated the South Korean tech giant with quite a bit of favor, and much of this has to do with Samsung doubling down on what it does best, all while finally getting rid of the stigma of the slow, clunky TouchWiz skin of old. They're going even further soon with the introduction of OneUI, a massive overhaul of basically everything from a UI standpoint, debuting with the Android 9 Pie update this coming January. In the meantime, Samsung still offers the most feature-rich experience possible, and the two sizes of the Galaxy S9 will ensure you find comfortable hardware to utilize Samsung at their best.
Samsung's Galaxy Note line has been considered the king of Android by some for a while now, but this year truly fulfills the expectations of those folks. While it looks visually near identical to 2017's Note 8 in most respects, the Galaxy Note 9 further trims the bezels, reworks the fingerprint scanner location to be more comfortable, and improves upon the rest of the experience in every way possible. With a massive battery, a brand-new S-Pen with Bluetooth functionality, and more features and options than you can shake a stick at, Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 is the ultimate Android smartphone available today. Samsung has taken the idea of user customization and turned it up to 11. Colors, styles, gestures, icons, sounds, wallpapers, and basically anything you can think of changing is customizable on the Note 9, and you'll likely be surprised for months when thinking about what this device can really do. There's always something new to be found, and with the upcoming OneUI refresh, we're hopeful Samsung is working to add more features and options than ever before, creating the biggest and best experience around.

North Korea: Concern over technologically-improved missile tests.
North Korea has test-fired two mid-range ballistic missiles from its eastern coast, says South Korea.
While the first launch was deemed a failure, the second came about two hours later, South Korea’s military said, and covered 400 km (250 miles), more than halfway towards the southwest coast of Japan’s main island of Honshu.
The sixth and finally-successful test was disconcerting enough for South Korea to convene a meeting of top security-related ministers to discuss the growing missile and nuclear threats.
The launches have been conducted in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions that prohibit Pyongyang from using ballistic missile technology.
The US advised North Korea to stop its ballistic missile tests and said it only strengthened the international community’s resolve to press forward with UN sanctions.

Only one Republican in the region looks like a certain winner. The rest are at some risk.
Republicans enjoy nearly total dominance of the Midwest. The GOP holds every governor's office in the region, save for Minnesota, as well as every legislature except Illinois.
That looks likely to change soon. The Midwest this year offers the Democratic Party its best opportunities for cutting into the Republicans' 2-to-1 advantage among governors nationwide.
"The Midwest has arguably been the most competitive region in America for a very long time," says Kyle Kondik, an elections analyst at the University of Virginia. "It may be that the Midwest is swinging again."
Democrats hold clear leads in the races for governor in Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota. Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who is seeking a third term, has been trailing in recent polls by modest but clear margins.
"Walker seems to be aware this is going to be a tough year for him," says Barry Burden, director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin. "He really has not faced an electorate that has been as hostile to his party as this electorate is going to be."
The races in Iowa, Ohio and Kansas all look like tossups at this point. The only Republican in the entire Midwest who looks like a certain winner is Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts. Even in South Dakota, which hasn't elected a Democratic governor since 1974, a poll back in July showed Republican Congresswoman Kristi Noem with just a four-point edge over rancher Billie Sutton. That has kept prognosticators from writing off the Democrat's chances entirely.
"After eight years of Republican governors in most of these states, voters are ready for a change," says Jared Leopold, communications director for the Democratic Governors Association. "Democrats in the Midwest are running on bread-and-butter issues, focusing on jobs and health care and education."
President Trump was elected largely because he performed better in the Midwest than prior Republican candidates. He won Michigan and Wisconsin, which hadn't voted Republican since 1984, while easily carrying Ohio and Iowa, which had supported Barack Obama twice. The 206 counties that swung from Obama to Trump in 2016 were heavily concentrated in the Midwest. Iowa had the most, with 31 counties moving from the Democratic column to the Republicans'.
But now Trump is a drag on Midwestern GOP hopefuls.
"The bottom line is you truly have a Trump effect in Michigan," says Ed Sarpolus, a Republican pollster in the state. "Right now in Michigan, they don't like what's happening in D.C."
The president's approval ratings are low around the country. In the Midwest, voters aren't happy with the effects his tariffs are having, particularly on agriculture, despite the administration's plan to subsidize farmers who have been hurt.
"What's happened in China has been just an unmitigated disaster," says Lawrence Jacobs, a political scientist at the University of Minnesota. "Farmers are furious that they've lost these markets that took them decades to build, and now they're losing money."
A poll released Saturday showed Democratic Iowa businessman Fred Hubbell in the lead -- albeit by a statistically insignificant two points -- over GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds. "To say it's a tossup is good for Democrats," says Dennis Goldford, a political scientist at Drake University in Des Moines. "The fact that [Reynolds] has been running negative ads in her own name suggests that they're nervous."
Following in the footsteps of Terry Branstad, who was serving his sixth non-consecutive term as Iowa governor before being appointed ambassador to China last year, Reynolds still faces the challenge of how to "craft her own narrative," says Christopher Larimer, a political scientist at the University of Northern Iowa.
She has emphasized her small-town Iowa roots, while seeking to paint Hubbell as an out-of-touch rich guy. "The Democrats still haven't figured out, here at least, how to penetrate these rural areas," says Goldford, the Drake professor. "They won't even listen to the Democratic message, let alone be persuaded by them."
Health care has been a resonant issue elsewhere.
Republican Attorneys General Bill Schuette of Michigan and Mike DeWine of Ohio, who are now their party's gubernatorial nominees, have both been critical of the Affordable Care Act. Although they have softened their stances since winning their respective primaries, Democrats are warning that they'd put their states' Medicaid expansions at risk. Neither Schuette nor DeWine has been endorsed by the outgoing GOP governor of his state (Rick Snyder in Michigan and John Kasich in Ohio).
"Schuette may be perceived as a bit too conservative for the state," says Edie Goldenberg, a public policy professor at the University of Michigan. "He's taken positions that are definitely more conservative than Snyder. That's not going to help him."
In the Midwest and across the country, outcomes will be determined by Democrats' ability to win over wavering suburbanites while earning a strong showing from their backers in bigger cities.
"The main population centers in Minnesota, Michigan and Madison, [Wis.], these are all hotbeds of progressive fury at Trump," Jacobs says.
Democrats are hoping that turnout will be stronger among their voters than has been the case in recent midterms. But an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday showed that 73 percent of seniors are interested in this year's elections, while only 35 percent of young people are.
"It seems like several groups are interesting in moving younger voters," Larimer says. "In the last midterm in Iowa, their turnout was 23 percent."
In short, this year's elections may shape up to be "a slightly more intense plain vanilla midterm election," Jacobs says. "You've got a president who's a bit less popular, and an opposition party that looks pretty intense."
The president's party nearly always loses seats in midterms. It looks like that will translate for Democrats into more Midwestern governorships. That's certainly welcome news for the party. Given the party's weakness in the South and Mountain West, if Democrats continue to be shut out in the Midwest, their strength would be almost entirely coastal in nature.
But a comeback in the gubernatorial ranks doesn't necessarily predict that they'll reverse Trump's gains in a presidential year, when the electorate will look a lot different.
"The Midwest frequently swings between the parties, depending on national conditions," says the University of Virginia's Kondik. "If it does, don't assume it won't swing another way in 2020."

the races in iowa, ohio and kansas all look like tossups at this point. the only republican in the entire midwest who looks like a certain winner is nebraska gov. pete ricketts. even in south dakota, which hasn't elected a democratic governor since 1974, a poll back in july showed republican congresswoman kristi noem with just a four-point edge over rancher billie sutton. that has kept prognosticators from writing off the democrat's chances entirely.
"after eight years of republican governors in most of these states, voters are ready for a change," says jared leopold, communications director for the democratic governors association. "democrats in the midwest are running on bread-and-butter issues, focusing on jobs and health care and education."
president trump was elected largely because he performed better in the midwest than prior republican candidates. he won michigan and wisconsin, which hadn't voted republican since 1984, while easily carrying ohio and iowa, which had supported barack obama twice. the 206 counties that swung from obama to trump in 2016 were heavily concentrated in the midwest. iowa had the most, with 31 counties moving from the democratic column to the republicans'.
but now trump is a drag on midwestern gop hopefuls.
"the bottom line is you truly have a trump effect in michigan," says ed sarpolus, a republican pollster in the state. "right now in michigan, they don't like what's happening in d.c."
the president's approval ratings are low around the country. in the midwest, voters aren't happy with the effects his tariffs are having, particularly on agriculture, despite the administration's plan to subsidize farmers who have been hurt.
"what's happened in china has been just an unmitigated disaster," says lawrence jacobs, a political scientist at the university of minnesota. "farmers are furious that they've lost these markets that took them decades to build, and now they're losing money."
a poll released saturday showed democratic iowa businessman fred hubbell in the lead -- albeit by a statistically insignificant two points -- over gop gov. kim reynolds. "to say it's a tossup is good for democrats," says dennis goldford, a political scientist at drake university in des moines. "the fact that [reynolds] has been running negative ads in her own name suggests that they're nervous."
following in the footsteps of terry branstad, who was serving his sixth non-consecutive term as iowa governor before being appointed ambassador to china last year, reynolds still faces the challenge of how to "craft her own narrative," says christopher larimer, a political scientist at the university of northern iowa.
she has emphasized her small-town iowa roots, while seeking to paint hubbell as an out-of-touch rich guy. "the democrats still haven't figured out, here at least, how to penetrate these rural areas," says goldford, the drake professor. "they won't even listen to the democratic message, let alone be persuaded by them."
health care has been a resonant issue elsewhere.
republican attorneys general bill schuette of michigan and mike dewine of ohio, who are now their party's gubernatorial nominees, have both been critical of the affordable care act. although they have softened their stances since winning their respective primaries, democrats are warning that they'd put their states' medicaid expansions at risk. neither schuette nor dewine has been endorsed by the outgoing gop governor of his state (rick snyder in michigan and john kasich in ohio).
"schuette may be perceived as a bit too conservative for the state," says edie goldenberg, a public policy professor at the university of michigan. "he's taken positions that are definitely more conservative than snyder. that's not going to help him."
in the midwest and across the country, outcomes will be determined by democrats' ability to win over wavering suburbanites while earning a strong showing from their backers in bigger cities.
"the main population centers in minnesota, michigan and madison, [wis.], these are all hotbeds of progressive fury at trump," jacobs says.
democrats are hoping that turnout will be stronger among their voters than has been the case in recent midterms. but an nbc/wall street journal poll released sunday showed that 73 percent of seniors are interested in this year's elections, while only 35 percent of young people are.
"it seems like several groups are interesting in moving younger voters," larimer says. "in the last midterm in iowa, their turnout was 23 percent."
in short, this year's elections may shape up to be "a slightly more intense plain vanilla midterm election," jacobs says. "you've got a president who's a bit less popular, and an opposition party that looks pretty intense."
the president's party nearly always loses seats in midterms. it looks like that will translate for democrats into more midwestern governorships. that's certainly welcome news for the party. given the party's weakness in the south and mountain west, if democrats continue to be shut out in the midwest, their strength would be almost entirely coastal in nature.
but a comeback in the gubernatorial ranks doesn't necessarily predict that they'll reverse trump's gains in a presidential year, when the electorate will look a lot different.
"the midwest frequently swings between the parties, depending on national conditions," says the university of virginia's kondik. "if it does, don't assume it won't swing another way in 2020."

Dealers who build service facilities which showcase their committment to service will generate more life-long, brand and dealer-loyal customers. Your service department and its’ appearance says more to your customer than all your marketing and advertising combined.
When you build your shop to showcase your service department an important part is to include a permanent floor that aids in dealership cleaning practices. Why put your service department on display if your floor degrades month after month and year after year? Why put in a floor system that is difficult to clean and maintain? Temporary coatings never stop costing you money. Enviroshop by AutoStone stops the ongoing resurfacing cycle.
Enviroshop by AutoStone is a permanent floor system. Enviroshop by AutoStone is built with our Bright finish which aids dealership cleaning practices. Enviroshop by AutoStone tiles resist tire tracking associated with today’s softer, silicone based tires. AutoStone is the best product you can choose for your shop floor.
When installed, it is 1/2” up from grade. This makes it practical for renovations and new builds. Level floors that properly slope to drain are more achievable with the Enviroshop system.

Our construction methods and project management experts make AutoStone the best solution for any automotive project. AutoStone is affordable and only about 25% to 35% more than temporary coatings like epoxy which only last 3-5 years between cycles of replacement.
Please see the short video below which shows how a service department is an extension of the dealership showroom.
