Next Obama must put his centrist Cabinet to work
the team of politicians and technocrats lacks a strong ideological bent, but they dominion participate in the technical skills to carry out his ambitious agenda. the cabinet that president-chosen barack obama completed on friday is a largely centrist and pragmatic collection of politicians and technocrats without a pronounced ideological resolved. liberals are satisfied but not delighted. conservatives say the nominees aren’t as leftist as they’d feared. powerful interest groups with conflicting agendas are appeased.

(CNN) — Fourteen city workers and one retired city worker in the western Ohio town of Piqua claimed a $207 million 12-state lottery prize Wednesday.
After five years of buying Mega Millions Lottery tickets, a group of 15 people in Ohio finally hit the jackpot.
The workers posed for pictures behind an oversized replica of the check, smiled for photographers and described their plans, which range from buying a new truck to quitting a job and traveling.
As they had done twice a week for the past five years, the group pooled their money to buy Mega Millions Lottery tickets.
Last Friday, a ticket bought at a Kroger supermarket in Piqua changed their lives.
See what the winners have to say »
"I’m going to set my mom and dad up for life," said Loyal Davis, who bought the lottery ticket and then got the job of telling his co-workers they had won.
One of them was his father-in-law, Tom Hill.
"He goes, ‘You won’t believe it,’ " Davis recalled. " ‘Somebody hit the lottery at Kroger’s in Piqua.’ "
"You’re kidding," Davis said download drama movies he responded.
Then Hill asked what he would do if movie downloads he won. Davis took out the ticket.
"Here you go, Tom, you’re a millionaire," he recalled saying.
Hill erupted with excitement. His wife, Brenda, began crying.
Davis said he plans to continue working for the street department, where he has been employed for more than eight years.
"I love my job," he said.
Asked if he is worried that his sudden change in financial status could have a negative effect, he said, "I hope not."
"I’m always happy and positive, and I don’t want no negativity," he said. "I hope nothing negative comes out of this. I think I got a good head on my shoulders to hopefully not let that happen."
But he does plan to make a few changes.
"The first thing I’m going to buy I’ve never had: a brand-new vehicle," Davis said.
Amos Steinbrunner, 30, who’s the youngest of the winners, said he had not yet figured out what to do with his winnings beyond helping his father retire.
"Right now, I’m in shock and surprised, and I don’t know what it really means to me right now," said Steinbrunner, who has been working at the job just two months and plans to marry in April. "I’m going to take it day by day and see how everything goes."
But the potential effect of the event was not lost on him.
"It can change all my family’s lives, and it means a lot," he said.
Cindy Hershberger said she plans to give some of her money to her mother, who is retired.
"It was wonderful to call and say, ‘Mom, I’m buying you a house,’ " she said. "It’s a great feeling to know that you can help people."
Now, at age 45, Cindy is planning to retire, too. The decision was not a difficult one, she said.
"I like my job, I really do. I love my job, but there are other things."
She said she will spend time with her children and mother, and will be doing volunteer work, traveling with her boyfriend "and just relaxing."
The winnings will not be divided evenly — one of the winners paid for two tickets.

High street retailers’ online demographics
High street retailers received 22% more UK Internet visits than online only retailers in November, and the gap is likely to widen during December. The chart below illustrates UK Internet visits to our two custom categories of high street and online only retailers over the last couple of years, and the trend is clear. In addition, the most recent IMRG-Hitwise Hot Shops list featured 30 high street names in the top 50, including Argos (2), Tesco.com (5), Marks and Spencer (6), Next (7), and Tesco Direct (9) in the top 10.
To a certain extent this shift was inevitable; online only retailers such as Amazon were early adopters download drama movie that enjoyed a significant market share in the early days, so it was to be expected that their relative share of the online retail market would decline over time. At the same time, it took a while for many high street retailers to ?get’ the Internet and successfully move their offline proposition (and customers) to the web.
However, despite the gap having closed, there are still a number of high street retailers without transactional websites in the UK. Fashion retailers, for example, have made a huge amount of progress online this year, but the fact a number of big names are still not selling online implies that our Apparel and Accessories category will continue to outgrow the online retail market next year.
Bearing this in mind, we were curious to understand whether high street and online only retailers attract different types of visitors to their websites. Fortunately we have just updated our Lifestyle and Demographics tool within Hitwise, and one of the extremely valuable new features is the ability to produce demographics and lifestyle data for custom categories. Comparing the Experian Mosaic profiles of our two custom retail categories provided the results displayed in the graph below. The Mosaic types illustrated by the blue bars are better represented as visitors to online only retailers, while those illustrated by the orange bars prefer high street retailers’ websites.
The results show that early adopter Mosaic groups such as Urban Intelligence (defined as ?Young, single and mostly well-educated, these people are cosmopolitan in tastes and liberal in attitudes’) and Symbols of Success (?People with rewarding careers who live in sought after locations, affording luxuries and premium quality products’) are most over-represent with online only retailers. The other two groups in blue are Rural Isolation ? to be expected, given that online retail is more popular in rural areas ? and, perhaps more surprisingly, Grey Perspectives (?Independent pensioners living in their own homes who are relatively active in their lifestyles’). However, looking at the demographics data 28.7% of visitors to online only retailers are aged 55+ compared with 25.0% for high street retailers, so maybe it’s not so surprising after all.
The websites of high street retailers are more popular with families. In particular, Happy Families (?Families with focus on career and home, mostly younger age groups now raising children.’) and Blue Collar Enterprise (?People who though not well-educated are practical and enterprising and may well have exercised their right to buy’), but also Suburban Comfort (?Families who are successfully established in comfortable, mature homes. Children are growing up and finances are easier’). However, they are also more popular with less affluent groups such as Ties of Community and Welfare Borderline.

What Is This Slumbering, Slobbery Beast Asleep On The Floor? [Duan!]
it’s a mike golic. the “mike and mike” show now has its own website and is uninterrupted daily photo caption contests for their listeners and espn readers. (no facebook direct connectedness is available. to the present time.) the comments have so far been predictably espn commenter-like. observe:
? # “I never realized remembering our anniversary was so important to my wife.”
? “Visions of Brady Quinn dancing in my head. Sweet dreams Baby!!”
? “This economy has hit some of us harder than others”
? “When I signed on for this gig, they promised me a corner office, a couch, one of those Swedish “memory foam” pillows and an extra-extra-large Notre Dame fleece blanket. Well, as you can see, I’m still waiting.”
Plucky. But this is the type of photo caption that requires a little more verve, some pizazz or, you know, tasteless profanity mixed with playful cruelty. Whatever makes you happy. Fire when ready.
******
Tomorrow: Page redesign comes stumbling out of the gate tomorrow (allegedly) so everyone will be very confused. Point and laugh (or, most likely, yell in the comments) about the new view. We’ll work through it together. Oh, and Drew will be here to numb the pain.
Thank you for your continued support of Dongspin.
