Apple alters App Store algorithm yet again

Apple tinkered with its App Store algorithm last week and changed the search position of some apps by ordering results based on user ratings and an app's description. This morning a report from TechCrunch suggests the Cupertino company has tweaked the algorithm again to add some weight back to the app's name and keyword.

This change was detected by Tomasz Kolinko, developer and founder of App Store analyst company Appcod.es. Kolinko noticed the change when his own app, Love Letter Writing, appeared in searches for the terms "advice" and "writing advice."...

Haskell Teen's Pig Helps Him Land College Tuition

He hasn't even begun and he's already paid for his college education and its all thanks to this little piggy.

"I feel like its a big blessing, I'm definitely relieved now," said 18 year-old Haskell resident Brady Leach.?

Well, he's not exactly little.?

He last weighed in at 292 lbs which is what helped Leach earn the championship at the 2012 Houston Livestock Show.

"It's kinda like the Superbowl, it's the big one," said his father Kevin Leach.

That's where Kipper was sold for a$178,000, earning leech $40,000 to use for his college tuition.

"Its a big relief," said said Leach.

Kipper isn't the only pig whose helped leach earn big bucks for school.

The 18 year-old Haskell native has spent years competing pigs, a task he's willing to get knee deep in the mud for.

"It's dirty, yeah its gonna be a bad smell, but you get close to the pigs, to the animals, cause they kind of become like your friends after a while," he said.

It may not be the cleanest hobby, but his parents sure are proud.

"It's something definitely we've been striving for for the last seven years, you never expect it, but that's what you strive for," said his father, "It was his last go around, but it was a lot of fun."
?
Leech says its been their support and sacrifice that's gotten him where he is today.

Now he's ready to head off to college with one less burden on his mind.

"It definitely makes you think about why am i getting up so early or why am I doing this, but now I realize in the end it can definitely pay off," he said.

And its all thanks to his four-legged friends.?

Leech says he plans on attending south plains college and later transfer to Texas Tech where he'll study to become a game warden.?

He'll no longer be competing since the livestock events he attended were only for high school students, but he says he'll now focus on training his thirteen year old brother to become the next champion.?

Houstonians express mixed opinions on president?s health care law

by Vicente Arenas / KHOU 11 News

Posted on June 28, 2012 at 7:37 PM

Updated today at 7:40 PM

HOUSTON ? Houstonian have expressed mixed opinions about the United States Supreme Court?s historic ruling to uphold the president?s health care law.

The new insurance plan upset Phoebe Jenkins.

?it?s not fair if you can?t afford it,? she said.

The elderly woman was catching a bus in the rain in downtown Houston when we talked to her.

A bike repair tech who doesn?t have insurance said he thinks the plan goes too far.

The new plan requires people to buy insurance.

?I don?t think it should be mandatory,? Cody Bradshaw said.

Those who don?t? buy coverage must pay a tax.

?I don?t know how I?ll pay for it,? said Lynn Landry, ?a single mother who works at an Edible Arrangements shop in Pearland. ?

Her co-worker Tara Zamora said the new plan will pay off in the end. ?Zamora has six children and she said most of her paycheck goes to insurance costs.

Zamora said her employer offered a lower-priced plan.

Angela Hankins believes Obama?s plan will lower?the cost of insurance for many people. ?

She says current insurance costs are not affordable.

Landry is not covered and she?s now hoping to get coverage.

Searching for the origin of muscles

ScienceDaily (June 28, 2012) ? A characteristic feature of most animals is their ability to move quickly with the help of their musculature. Animals that can move are able to flee, hunt for prey, travel long distances or conquer new habitats. The evolution of muscles was thus a fundamental step during animal evolution. While the structure and function of muscles, especially of vertebrates, have been intensively studied, the evolutionary origin of smooth and striated muscles has so far been enigmatic. Comparative genome and gene expression studies, performed by researchers Patrick Steinmetz, Johanna Kraus and Ulrich Technau in an international collaboration with researchers from Germany, France and Australia, revealed the origin muscle components in ancestral animals such as sea anemones, jellyfish or sponges.

Gene duplication

Phylogenetic comparisons showed that one of the crucial structural proteins of striated muscles of vertebrates, a "myosin" motor protein, originated by gene duplication. "As this specific myosin has so far only been found in muscle cells, we expected that its origin coincided with the evolution of muscle cells. We were very surprised to see that the 'muscle myosin' evolved probably in unicellular organisms, long before the first animals lived," explains Ulrich Technau who led the study.

Research in sponges ?

"In sponges, that all lack muscles, the 'muscle myosin' appears to play a role in regulating the water flow," comments Gert W?rheide (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit?t Munich), whose team was investigating muscle proteins in sponges together with Michael Nickel (University of Jena) and Bernard Degnan (University of Queensland).

? and jellyfish

Jellyfish occupy a special phylogenetic position to understand the evolution of muscles. They are cnidarians, an animal group that originated more than 600 million years ago, and possess striated muscles. Due to the striking similarities between striated muscles of vertebrates and jellyfish, it was so far assumed both striated muscle types share a common origin. In fact, jellyfish striated muscles also express the ancient "muscle myosin," but they lack several essential components that are characteristic for the structure and function of striated muscles of "higher animals."

This indicates that despite their striking similarities, striated muscles of jellyfish and "higher animals" have evolved independently. This study sheds light onto how seemingly complex biological structures, such as striated muscles, could have evolved independently based on very ancient components.

Nokia's 808 PureView will not be sold by major UK carriers, time to save up some pounds

If you Brits were looking forward to utilizing the 808 PureView's 41-megapixel sensor while sipping Pimm's this summer, well, be prepared to pay a hefty price. We've heard from O2, Three and Everything Everywhere (the parent company of Orange UK and T-Mobile UK) that they will not be selling said Nokia device in the UK, and Virgin Media told us it isn't in the pipeline "just yet." Our friends over at Wired UK have also heard the same bad news from Vodafone and O2, with a source close to the latter laying the blame on Nokia's "outdated" Symbian Belle system. Ouch. So yes, this means all the major carriers in Her Majesty's backyard are out of the game; but until we hear back from Carphone Warehouse, there may still be a small chance for keen British mobile photogs to dodge the full £500 ($780) price tag on Amazon (in comparison to $699 on the US site), so stay tuned.

Scientists twist light to send data

Monday, June 25, 2012

A multi-national team led by USC with researchers hailing from the U.S., China, Pakistan and Israel has developed a system of transmitting data using twisted beams of light at ultra-high speeds ? up to 2.56 terabits per second.

To put that in perspective, broadband cable (which you probably used to download this) supports up to about 30 megabits per second. The twisted-light system transmits more than 85,000 times more data per second.

Their work might be used to build high-speed satellite communication links, short free-space terrestrial links, or potentially be adapted for use in the fiber optic cables that are used by some Internet service providers.

"You're able to do things with light that you can't do with electricity," said Alan Willner, electrical engineering professor at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the corresponding author of an article about the research that was published in Nature Photonics on June 24. "That's the beauty of light; it's a bunch of photons that can be manipulated in many different ways at very high speed."

Willner and his colleagues used beam-twisting "phase holograms" to manipulate eight beams of light so that each one twisted in a DNA-like helical shape as it propagated in free space. Each of the beams had its own individual twist and can be encoded with "1" and "0" data bits, making each an independent data stream ? much like separate channels on your radio.

Their demonstration transmitted the data over open space in a lab, attempting to simulate the sort of communications that might occur between satellites in space. Among the next steps for the research field will be to advance how it could be adapted for use in fiber optics, like those frequently used to transmit data over the Internet.

The team's work builds on research done by Leslie Allen, Anton Zeilinger, Miles Padgett and their colleagues at several European universities.

"We didn't invent the twisting of light, but we took the concept and ramped it up to a terabit-per-second," Willner said. His team included Jian Wang, Jeng-Yuan Yang, Irfan M. Fazal, Nisar Ahmed, Yan Yan, Hao Huang, Yongxiong Ren and Yang Yue from USC; Samuel Dolinar from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory; and Moshe Tur from Tel Aviv University.

Wang, the lead author, left USC after completing this research and is now a professor at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China.

Live from Microsoft's mystery press conference in Los Angeles!

When Microsoft calls a last-minute press conference to make a "major" announcement, there's only one sensible thing to do: pack your bags, fly to Los Angeles and get ready to hear what Ballmer & Co. have to say. With no hints whatsoever (not even a cheekily worded invitation!), we've nothing but speculation and rumors to guide us as we head into this news conference. Will we hear about Win8 tablets -- specifically, a Kindle Fire competitor running Windows RT? Or maybe today's news elaborates on Xbox Music? All we know is that it won't have anything to do with Windows Phone, seeing as how Microsoft is holding another press event just two days from now where it's promised to give us a sneak peek at Apollo. Oh-so mysterious of Redmond, and all the more reason for us to host a liveblog. The doors here open at 3:30pm local time, so stay tuned as we bring you up-to-the-minute coverage on Microsoft's big reveal.

Greek elections: live report

1925 GMT: Some more on that press conference from Samaras. He said Greece would remain "anchored" in the euro and called on political parties which shared New Democracy's objectives to join forces. He added that New Democracy was "determined to do what it takes and do it fast."

1922 GMT: "THIS IS A VICTORY FOR ALL EUROPE": SAMARAS

1919 GMT: SAMARAS SAYS GREEKS HAVE "VOTED TODAY FOR THE EUROPEAN FUTURE OF GREECE AND GREECE REMAINING IN THE EUROZONE"

1918 GMT: GREEK SOCIALISTS SAY READY TO SUPPORT COALITION BUT ONLY WITH OTHER LEFTISTS

1916 GMT: New Democracy official Dora Bakoyannis has told AFP in Athens that the party wants to form a "government of national unity." Talks are expected to start Monday.

1914 GMT: TV pictures show a mass of photographers and camera crews surrounding Samaras as he arrives for the press conference.

1912 GMT: AFP's Daphne Benoit says that Samaras is expected to hold a press conference soon. A crowd of his supporters supporters have gathered in Syntagma Square in Athens waving flags and celebrating.

"We are happy, New Democracy is the only real Greek party," said one of them, Savas Kosanidis. "Antonis Samaras is very clever, he will try to change the memorandum."

1902 GMT: The leader of New Democracy Antonis Samaras looks to have been tonight's big winner, so let's find out a bit more about him, courtesy of AFP's John Hadoulis in Athens.

Samaras is seen as a tough negotiator who has pledged to hold talks with other European leaders to secure more favourable bailout terms for Greece, with more emphasis on growth.

He has also pledged to take a tougher stance on illegal immigrants. A Harvard-educated economist, Samaras is descended from one of Greece's top families and is the great-grandson of Penelope Delta, one of the country's most famous children's authors.

1841 GMT: The prospect of New Democracy and Pasok teaming up is an interesting one.

The pair of them have been the dominant parties in Greek politics in recent times. New Demcracy's leader Antonis Samaras is an ex-foreign minister who approved Greece's 2010 bailout -- though only after holding out for some time. So both are very much establishment parties, in stark contrast with Syriza.

1836 GMT: Separately, the estimate says that the anti-bailout Syriza is on track to secure 27.1 percent of the vote -- 72 seats.

1834 GMT: So if New Democracy can broker a deal with Pasok, they will have a majority.

New Democracy is on course to get 29.5 percent or 128 seats in parliament, according to the official estimate. Meanwhile, Pasok would get 12.3 percent of the vote -- 33 seats.

1824 GMT: PRO-EURO PARTIES HAVE ENOUGH VOTES FOR MAJORITY, FIRST OFFICIAL ESTIMATE SAYS

1822 GMT: FIRST OFFICIAL ESTIMATE SAYS PRO-EURO NEW DEMOCRACY WIN ELECTION

1812 GMT: Westerwelle's timing is intriguing. Many Greeks feel Germany has been too strict in imposing the terms of the bailout which has led to painful austerity measures hitting everything from healthcare to pensions.

German tabloid newspaper Bild underlined the tensions ahead of the vote by running an open letter telling Greeks their ATMs had euros in them only because "we put them there."

1807 GMT: German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle has just indicated Greece could get more time to achieve the reforms required under that huge bailout.

He told ARD public television that while there cannot be "substantial changes" in the terms of Greece's bailout, "I can imagine we discuss again a delay" in hitting targets.

1751 GMT: If it is correct that New Democracy is edging ahead, there will be a huge sigh of relief from eurozone leaders including Angela Merkel. Merkel, leader of Europe's largest economy Germany, said Saturday that it was "extremely important" for the country to toe the line on the bailout.

While New Democracy wants to renegotiate elements of the deal, its demands are nowhere near as radical as those of Syriza, who has vowed to rip up the EU/IMF bailout on Monday if he wins.

1742 GMT: We are now getting more details of exit polls, this time with all exit poll votes in. These figures put New Democracy on 28.6 to 30 percent, Syriza on 27 to 28.4 percent and socialist party Pasok on 11 to 12.4 percent.

1734 GMT: Let's look again at the economic background to this election, which Greek newspapers have described as the most important since the end of military rule in 1974.

The country has sought two bailouts for its economy, in 2010 and earlier this year, drawing international assistance worth a total of 347 billion euros ($439 billion). Although the bailouts were crucial for the economy, they have left many Greeks fed up with the tough austerity cuts which accompanied them.

1716 GMT: A tense wait for Greeks, as well as politicians watching around the world. AFP's Catherine Boitard in Athens reports that politicians from all parties have now hit the TV studios and are launching fierce debates about the significance of what has happened in today's election. Gripping Sunday night viewing for voters.

1702 GMT: AFP's Daphne Benoit reports that Golden Dawn leader Nikos Mihaloliakos has been speaking to Skai television in Greece as the exit polls emerge. "You have lost... we will continue to fight you," he said, addressing the party's opponents.

1649 GMT: In a more cheerful development for Greeks, the country's football team is dedicating its success in Euro 2012 to the troubled nation. AFP's Jonathan Fowler in Serock, Poland, reports that midfielder Kostas Katsouranis has spoken after yesterday's 1-0 defeat of Russia, which carried Greece through to the quarter-finals.

"We wanted to give everybody back home something to cheer, to celebrate," the player told reporters. "Everybody in Greece -- even our families, our friends, our brothers, our cousins, everyone -- is having a really hard time."

1645 GMT: More exit polls are likely to be published around 1700 GMT, which could give us a clearer picture.

1635 GMT: More coming through on how Golden Dawn, the neo-Nazi party, performed. The early exit polls put the party, whose leader denies the Holocaust, on between six and 7.5 percent of the vote. It scored 6.97 percent in May's elections.

One of Golden Dawn's MPs, Illias Kasidiaris, assaulted two female deputies on live TV earlier this month -- but is now pressing charges against his victims, claiming they insulted him.

1626 GMT: Another voter interviewed by Daphne voiced relief that the figures indicated Syriza had not won. New Democracy voter Nondas, 21, said: "We're not really happy but we are relieved because opinion polls had Syriza winning."

1622 GMT: AFP's Daphne Benoit in Athens has been speaking to voters following publication of the exit polls -- and some of them are concerned there may be another stalemate. "The figures are very tight, there is no majority," said Syriza supporter Lavros Moustakis. "We may have to rerun the election in a month and in that time, Merkel will ruin us."

1616 GMT: Politicians and officials in Berlin are likely to be on tenterhooks at the moment, such is the closeness of these exit polls. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said yesterday that it was "extremely important" for Greece to elect politicians who would respect the bailout. She and others will be watching closely tonight amid wider fears about the impact of a possible Syriza win.

1611 GMT: Athens University politics professor Dmitri Sotiropoulous tells the BBC that Golden Dawn's figures in the exit polls suggest the party has "sustained most of its power" from the May vote.

1608 GMT: So there seems to be barely a hair between Syriza and New Democracy, the two main contenders in the election, at this stage. Exit polls put New Democracy half a percentage point ahead with between 27.5 percent and 30.5 percent of the vote compared to between 27 percent and 30 percent for Syriza. Still well within the margin of error.

1603 GMT: EXIT POLLS ALSO INDICATE NEO-NAZI GOLDEN DAWN PARTY BACK IN PARLIAMENT

1601 GMT: EXIT POLLS PUT CONSERVATIVES AND RADICALS NECK AND NECK

1600 GMT: POLLS CLOSE

1555 GMT: In a sign of the tension surrounding this election, two grenades were found outside the offices of private media group Skai TV, which supports austerity in Greece, this morning. "Somebody is trying to disturb the holding of the election but this effort will fail," said government spokesman Dimitris Tsiodras.

1550 GMT: My colleague Dario Thuburn in Athens spoke to some voters earlier today who were in no doubt of the importance of this election.

"This is an election that makes people very, very anxious," said 62-year-old pensioner Andreas Pappas after voting in central Athens. "I want Greece to remain in the eurozone and the European Union. We used to think it was something we could take for granted. We have never faced a situation like this."

Another, Stavros Logaras, a 53-year-old Communist voter, said people were "confused" but desperate for change. "We would like another style of government, another way for Greek society and for European society," he said.

WELCOME TO AFP'S LIVE REPORT on the Greek elections. The results of the poll, which closes very shortly at 1600 GMT, will be key to determining whether Greece stays in the eurozone and could send shockwaves through economies in Europe and around the world.

There are two main parties to watch in the poll. The anti-austerity left-wing Syriza party, led by 37-year-old Alexis Tsipras, wants to scrap Greece's huge EU-IMF loan deal. It is this threat which has prompted doubts about whether Greece can stay in the eurozone if Syriza win.

On the other side is the conservative New Democracy party led by the vastly experienced Antonis Samaras.

The world population is over seven billion and all of these people need feeding. However, the energy requirement of a species depends not only on numbers but on its average mass. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal BMC Public Health has estimated the total mass of the human population, defined its distribution by region, and the proportion of this biomass due to the overweight and obesity.

Up to half of all food eaten is burned up in physical activity. Increasing mass means higher energy requirements, because it takes more energy to move a heavy body. Even at rest a bigger body burns more energy.

Using data from the United Nations and World Health Organization, researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine estimated that the adult human population weights in at 287 million tonnes. 15 millions of which is due to the overweight and 3.5 million due to obesity.

While the average body mass globally was 62kg, North America, which has the highest body mass of any continent, with an average body mass of 80.7kg. North America has only 6% of the world's population but 34% of the world's biomass mass due to obesity. In contrast Asia has 61% of the world's population but only 13% of the world's biomass due to obesity.

If all countries had the same average BMI as the USA the total human biomass would increase by 58 million tonnes - this is the equivalent of an additional 935 million people of world average body mass.

Explaining the implications of this study Sarah Walpole said, "Our results emphasize the importance of looking at biomass rather than just population numbers when considering the ecological impact of a species, especially humans."

This study was based on the 2005 WHO SURF report so it is an underestimate of the current situation. The world's population is continuing to increase in size the UN predicts that by 2050 there could be 8.9 billion people on the planet.

Prof Ian Roberts, continued, "Everyone accepts that population growth threatens global environmental sustainability our study shows that population fatness is also a major threat. Unless we tackle both population and fatness - our chances are slim."

How to Get Senior Leaders to Change - Blogs - Harvard Business ...

by Scott Keller??|?? 8:00 AM June 14, 2012

Most senior executives understand and generally buy into the famous aphorism, "Be the change you want to see in the world." Prompted by HR professionals or consultants, they often commit themselves to "being the change" by personally role-modeling the desired behaviors. And then, in practice, nothing significant changes.

In the research for our book, Beyond Performance, we found that the reason for this is that most executives don't see themselves as "part of the problem." Therefore, deep down, they do not believe that it is they who need to change, even though in principle they agree that leaders must model the desired changes. Take, for example, a team that reports that, as a group and as an organization, they are low in trust, not customer-focused and bureaucratic. How many executives when asked privately will say "no" to the questions "Do you consider yourself to be trustworthy?" and "Are you customer-focused?" and "yes" to the question "Are you a bureaucrat?" None, of course.

The fact is that most well-intentioned and hard-working people believe they are doing the right thing, or they wouldn't be doing it. However, most people also have an unwarranted optimism in relation to their own behavior. Consider that when around one million students were asked how good they were at getting along with others, 85% rated themselves above the median and 25% rated themselves in the top 1%. Of course this is mathematically impossible. This isn't only true for students getting along with one another ? far more than 50% of people rank themselves in the top half of driving ability, although it is a statistical impossibility. When couples are asked to estimate their contribution to household work, the combined total routinely exceeds 100%. (And most men rank themselves in the top half of male athletic ability, even though that's statistically impossible.) In many behavior-related areas, human beings consistently think they are better than they are ? a phenomenon referred to in psychology as a "self-serving bias." Whereas conventional change management approaches surmise that top team role modeling is a matter of will ("wanting to change") or skill ("knowing how to change"), the inconvenient truth is that the real bottleneck to role modeling is knowing what to change at a personal level.

Typically, insight into what to change can be created by concrete 360-degree feedback techniques, either via surveys, conversations or both. This 360-degree feedback should not be against generic HR leadership competency models, but should instead be against the specific behaviors related to the desired changes that will drive business performance. This style of feedback can be augmented by fact gathering such as third-party observation of senior executives going about their day-to-day work (e.g., "You say you are not bureaucratic, but every meeting you are in creates three additional meetings and no decisions are made.") and calendar analyses (e.g., "You say you are customer-focused but have spent 5% of your time reviewing customer-related data and no time meeting with customers or customer-facing employees.").

Consider Amgen CEO Kevin Sharer's approach of asking each of his top 75, "What should I do differently?" and sharing his development needs and commitment publicly with them. Consider the top team of a national insurance company who routinely employed what they called the "circle of feedback" during their change program: Every participant receives feedback live in the room, directly from their colleagues on "What are your strengths?" in relation to "being the change" as well as "Where can you improve?" Consider the leadership coalition (top 25) of a multi-regional bank who, after each major event in their change program, conducted a short, targeted 360-degree feedback survey regarding how well their behaviors role-modeled the desired behaviors during the event, ensuring that feedback was timely, relevant and practical.

While seemingly inconvenient, these types of techniques help break through the "self-serving bias" that inhibits well-meaning leaders from making a profound difference.

Note that some readers may be thinking, "But surely there are a few people who are fully role-modeling the desired behaviors ? what does this mean for them?" If the purpose of senior executive role-modeling is to exhibit the behaviors required to ensure the success and sustainability of the company (e.g., collaboration, agility in decision making, empowerment), then the answer is "keep up the good work!" If the answer, however, is expanded to include role-modeling the process of personal behavioral change itself, there is more to do. Recall another famous aphorism: "For things to change, first I must change."

GOP groups top Democrats in TV spending by far

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Independent Republican groups are heavily outspending their cross-party counterparts on television advertising in the campaigns for the White House and control of the Senate, eating into President Barack Obama's financial advantage over Mitt Romney and prompting expressions of alarm from top congressional Democrats.

The disparity is most evident in the race for the White House, where Crossroads GPS, Restore Our Future and other organizations aligned with the Republicans spent nearly $37 million on TV ads through the first few days of June, most of it attacking Obama. That compares with about $11 million by groups supporting the president, with much of it from Priorities USA Action.

Senate campaigns also have been affected, notably in Ohio, where Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown's commanding lead in the polls began to erode this spring after the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and others started a televised attack. Overall, Republican-aligned organizations have spent roughly $30 million on ads in key races, compared with about $11 million for groups supporting Democrats.

Underscoring the concern, Rep. Steve Israel of New York, who heads Democrats' efforts to regain House control, issued a thinly veiled call for his party's donors to step up. The recent recall election in Wisconsin "should serve as a wake-up call," he wrote, referring to the lopsided advantage in spending by outside groups that helped Republican Gov. Scott Walker overcome a union-backed bid to dump him from office.

Other Democratic efforts to catch up are less publicized, particularly when it comes to Priorities USA Action, the group formed to boost Obama's re-election.

David Axelrod, a top strategist for the president, is expected to meet with potential donors to the group in New York on Monday, according to officials familiar with his plans. Separately, former President Bill Clinton has agreed to help, although it isn't clear whether he will appear at a formal fundraising event.

Obama's campaign manager, Jim Messina, and White House aide David Plouffe, who ran the 2008 campaign, met previously with possible donors to the group.

The heavy infusion of outside money comes on top of candidate spending and ads financed by the political parties. While it can alter a race in several ways, one Democrat with long campaign experience cautioned that the impact easily can be overstated.

"You hate to be outspent at all, but in point of fact if you're communicating loudly and the other guy is communicating twice as loudly, that doesn't mean he's communicating twice as effectively," said Jim Jordan, who has worked in presidential and Senate races.

Outside groups have allowed Romney to remain competitive in the television ads wars while restocking a treasury that was depleted during the battle for the Republican nomination. It also raises the possibility that Obama, the Democratic Party and allied groups will be outspent by a combination of Romney, the GOP and allied organizations, erasing an advantage the president had in 2008.

Earlier this year, Obama's campaign decided to dip into its own treasury to respond to commercials from the American Energy Alliance, which had spent more than $3 million attacking the president.

Privately, the president's top campaign aides frequently express concern about the disparity, according to several Democratic officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. There is irony in that, because Obama previously had shunned support from groups that may rely on unlimited or undisclosed donations. It wasn't until February that he permitted top aides to publicly bless the work of Priorities Action USA.

By contrast, Crossroads GPS and American Crossroads, groups formed by prominent Republican strategist Karl Rove and others, were active in the 2010 election campaign.

Bill Burton, one of the founders of Priorities Action USA, said the pace of donations has picked up as the group expanded its staff and Democratic donors began to focus on a race between the president and Romney. "There's natural progression," he said, adding that until recently, it wasn't clear who Obama's rival would be, and the imperative they might feel to donate was more distant.

In the Ohio Senate race, ads financed by the Chamber of Commerce, American Crossroads, Sixty Plus and other groups coincided with a drop in Brown's poll ratings, creating at least the appearance of a competitive race against Republican Josh Mandel where little or none had existed. The most recent attack, airing at a cost of $1 million statewide, says the incumbent voted for "every bailout proposed by (George W.) Bush and Obama," a rare use of the former president's image or name in the current campaign.

Brown gained modest support on television from Democratic-aligned groups after he came under attack, and swiftly began using the disparity to appeal for campaign donations.

Brown and many other Democratic incumbents hold advantages over their rivals in campaign cash on hand. But a multimillion-dollar disparity in television advertising by outside groups could eventually stretch the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee thin at a time it is struggling to defend a narrow Senate majority.

"It's a source of great disappointment that people who say they're on our side remain on the sidelines," Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, a member of the Democratic leadership, said recently. Durbin, Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and Sen. Charles Schumer of New York have all attended fundraisers for the Majority PAC, an organization established to aid Democratic Senate candidates that reported taking in $6.1 million through May 23.

"There's some movement in our direction but not enough" since then, Durbin added, and other officials said fundraising has picked up in recent weeks.

In the general election race for the White House, television ads designed to aid Obama totaled about $55 million through the early days of June. Of that, the president's own campaign spent $44.7 million, more than 80 percent of the total, with $9.3 million from Priorities USA Action.

The situation was reversed among Republicans, where outside groups put up about $37 of $44 million spent so far on television ads, or more than 80 percent of the GOP total. Romney's campaign has spent about $7.8 million.

The Republican advantage comes at a time the system for financing of campaigns is in flux.

Recent Supreme Court rulings mean that corporations and unions may donate unlimited amounts to political groups. The rules are so complex that some organizations must disclose their donors' names and the amount of their contributions, while others are not. Some television purchases by independent organizations must be reported to the Federal Election Commission with 48 hours, some within 24 hours, and others not at all.
